activities reasonably related thereto (no other uses are permissible);

maintained or placed thereon except such building(s) or structures
directly related to the usage of the property for a public park(s).
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 applicant 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 October 22, 2020 .

Page 4 of 4
ANALYSIS
The parcels are within the Suburban Residential (RS) and Conservation (C) Zone of the City. Plat
note three (3) states that the subdivision is subject to City of Kenai zoning regulations.
South Forest Drive is a dedicated right-of-way which could provide access to Tract B; however, it
is highly unlikely that vehicles would use this right-of -way for access to the property given the
steep bluff embankment. Toyon Way and Tanaga Avenue dedicated rights-of -way could be
extended to provide access to Tract A, Kenai Bluff Stabilization Subdivision. Also, there if a
section line easement to the North of Tract A which could be developed for access to Tract A,
Kenai Bluff Stabilization Subdivision. The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-
of -way. If at some point these tracts are developed the City of Kenai may require that the right-of -
way for Toyon Way and Tanaga Avenue be extended.
City water and sewer lines are not within close proximity to these parcels. If property owners
wished to develop the tracts, they will have to install a private well and a septic system following
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. Plat n ote seven (7) addresses
wastewater disposal, as follows:
Tract A – This lot is at least 200,000 square feet or nominal 5 acres in size and
conditions may not be suitable for onsite wastewater treatment and disposal. Any
wastewater treatment or disposal system must meet the regulatory requirements
of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
Tract B – No wastewater will be generated or disposed of on these lots. Conditions
might not be suitable for onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems. Any
onsite wastewater treatment and disposal system must meet the wastewater
disposal requirements of KPB Chapter 20.40 and regulatory requirements of the
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
Plat note number six (6) states the front 15 -feet adjacent to rights-of -way is utility easement. No
permanent structure shall be placed within the utility easement which would interfere with the
ability of a utility to use the easement.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Kenai Bluff Stabilization Subdivision,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.

Administration
MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Willie Anderson, Planning Assistant
DATE: October 28, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution PZ2020-34 Substitute
After the packet had been published, it was discovered the following revisions need to be made
to Resolution PZ2020-34.
The words, “if at some point these tracts are developed,” needs to be added to the fifth whereas
clause so the whereas clause reads as follows:
WHEREAS, if at some point these tracts are developed, the City of Kenai may require that the
rights-of -way for Toyon Way and Tanaga Avenue be extended; and
Kristine Subdivision No. 1 needs to be replaced with Kenai Bluff Stabilization Subdivision so
Section 1 reads as follows:
Section 1. That the preliminary plat of Kristine Subdivision No. 1 Kenai Bluff Stabilization
Subdivision is attached as Exhibit “A” be approved subject to the following conditions:
In order to accomplish these revisions, a substitute Resolution PZ2020-34 has been provided and
the following motion can be made:
Move to amend Resolution PZ2020-34 by substitute, provided in the laydown.
Thank you for your consideration.

WHEREAS, the City of Kenai received the plat from Segesser Surveys; and,

there is a section line easement lying North of Tract A which could be developed for access; and
W HEREAS, If at some point these tracts are developed, the City of Kenai may require that the
rights-of -way for Toyon Way and Tanaga Avenue be extended; and
W HEREAS, The proposed plat does not dedicate any additional rights-of -way; and
