GENERAL INFORMATION
Edge Survey and Design, LLC submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of Molly E. Hannigan and
Christopher Etheridge. The plat affects the parcels described as Lot 4, Eventyr Subdivison and
Lots 5 and 6, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2. The preliminary plat discloses that the owners are
reconfiguring three lots into two larger lots. Lot 4A will be 1.280 acres (55,757 square feet), and
Lot 5A will be 1.747 acres (approximately 76,099 square feet). There are residences located on
both of the proposed lots.
The property owners would also like to vacate utility easements along the southern ten feet (10’)
of Lot 4, Eventyr Subdivision and the northern ten feet (10’) of Lots 5 and 6, Eventyr Subdivision
No. 2; and the eastern ten feet (10’) of Lot 6, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2. The preliminary plat will
also dedicate utility easements adjacent to the rights-of way of Colonial Drive and Lawton Drive
Application, Public Notice, Public Comment
KMC 14.10.010 General under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or
replats must first be submitted to the City for review prior to the submittal of the plat to the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Planning Department. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.060 describes the
process in more detail. The plat will be reviewed first by the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning
Commission and then by the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Plat Committee and Planning
Commission.
The property owners completed the City of Kenai preliminary plat submittal form. The City of Kenai
follows Kenai Peninsula Borough Code 20.25.070 and 20.25.080 for preliminary plat submittal
requirements. City staff published notice of the consideration of the plat as part of the agenda for
the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission in the Peninsula Clarion. No public comments
have been received as of July 2, 2020.
ANALYSIS
Access to the proposed Lot 4A is a private driveway off of Linwood Lane. Currently, the driveway
is located within the northern 20 feet of Lot 5, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2. The property owner of
Lot 5, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2 granted an easement for egress and ingress to the property
owner of Lot 4, Eventyr Subdivision. The easement was recorded on October 19, 2006, under
document number 2006-011437-0. The proposed plat will move the property line thirty feet to the
south, which will result in having the private driveway located entirely on Lot 4A, Eventyr
Subdivision No. 3.
Access to the proposed Lot 5A is via Linwood Lane and Lawton Drive. These are paved roads
maintained by the City of Kenai. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of-
way. The owner of the proposed Lot 5A is already connected to City water and sewer. An
installation agreement is not required. The residence located on Lot 5, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2
was reportedly removed from the premises in 2008; therefore, the detached garage is a non-
conforming structure because it is an accessory structure without a primary residence. The
vacation of the property line between Lots 5 and 6, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2 will alleviate the
non-conformity.
Page 3 of 3
The owner of the proposed Lot 4A is connected to City water only and has a private septic system
installed on site. Plat note number nine (9) requires that wastewater treatment and disposal
systems must meet the regulatory requirements of the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation. The water line providing service to Lot 4A is located within the 20-foot easement
granted by the owners of Lot 5, Eventyr Subdivision No. 2. The proposed plat will move the
property line thirty feet to the south which will result in having the majority of the waterline located
entirely on Lot 4A, Eventyr Subdivision No. 3. The remainder of the waterline is located in the
easement delineated on the west boundary of the proposed Lot 5A, Eventyr Subdivision No. 3.
The preliminary plat meets requirements of KMC Subdivision design standards and KMC
14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations. City
staff recommends a condition of approval for the property to conform to all federal, State of Alaska,
and local regulations and for an installation agreement to be finalized prior to the recording of the
plat.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Eventyr Subdivision No. 3, subject to
the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. The plat number on the surrounding properties (Lots 4 and 5, Roper Subdivision) lying
Northeast of Lot 4A should be changed from Plat 619 to Plat K-1409.
3. The Kenai City Council must declare the ten foot (10’) utility easements not needed for a
public purpose and approve the vacation of the utility easements as shown on the
preliminary plat.

Exception to borough code 20.30.170 block length, 20.31030 Street Layout
and 20.30.230 Double Frontage
Asking exception not to extend Teresa Street from Colonial Drive to Lawton Drive.
The block has yet to be split North to South or East to West.
Plats 83-149 and 86-75 had the opportunity to dedicate right of way and did not.
Teresa Street to the North is undeveloped and un-used by the public.
Teresa Street to the North is blocked by a structure.
Development trends within the block of concern is larger city parcels.
Two parcels remain original government lots.
Plat 2016-89 recently combined lots within block of concern to create a larger parcel.
Owner of Lots 5 and 6 Eventyr Subdivision No.2 chooses to create one larger lot.
Most of the middle block or 330 break roads are not constructed or dedicated in full in the
neighborhood. Examples being Teresa Street, broken portions of Copper Lane, and Shelikof.
Right of way dedication would encroach close to the current structures on Lots 4 and Lot 6.
Bu i lding patterns within the Block are larger houses with larger yards. Not planned or intended for
future development.
