The plat affects the parcels described as Lots 21 and 22, Oberts Pillars Subdivision Part Two. The property owner wishes to vacate the property line between the two lots which will create a larger lot described as Lot 21A, Oberts Pillars Subdivision Donaghe Replat.

The property owner has indicated that he would like to construct a detached garage on Lot 22, Oberts Pillars Subdivision Part Two. Kenai Municipal Code would not allow him to construct the detached garage (accessory structure) without a primary residence being on the parcel. The vacation of the lot line between the two lots will allow the property owner to construct the detached garage (accessory structure) because it will be on the same parcel as the primary residence. 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.
