GENERAL INFORMATION
McLane Consulting, Inc submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of the property owner, Thomas
Donaghe. 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. Lot 21A, Oberts
Pillars Subdivision will be approximately 2.911 acres (approximately 126,802 square feet). The
property owner has obtained a building permit from the City of Kenai to construct a single family
dwelling with an attached garage on Lot 21, Oberts Pillars Subdivision Part Two. 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. 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 16 , 2020.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Lot 21A is bordered by roads on three sides. The Kenai Spur Highway is maintained
by the State of Alaska. Silver Salmon Drive and Chinook Drive are paved and maintained by the
City of Kenai. The property owner must obtain a driveway permit from the City of Kenai before
constructing a planned driveway from Chinook Drive. Plat Note number two (2) provides that no
direct access to state-maintained rights-of-way is permitted unless approved by the State of
Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, which would apply to any access from
the Kenai Spur Highway.
City water and sewer connections are not available in this area. The owner will need to install a
private well and onsite septic system. A plat note states that plans for wastewater disposal that
meet regulatory requirements are on file at the Department of Environmental Conservation. The
surveyor has emailed that the parent plat has an approved engineers subdivision and soils report
on file with the Kenai Peninsula Borough. An installation agreement is not required.
Page 9
Page 3 of 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 additional label for the 10-foot utility easement to be added to the
plat. The additional label of the 10-foot utility easement will match how the easement is labeled
on the parent plat for clarity.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Oberts Pillars Subdivision Donaghe
Replat, subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. Insert an additional label for the “10’ utility easement” to add clarity to the plat.
