The applicant wishes to subdivide the approximately 10 acre parcel into 7 lots. The lots are ranging in size from approximately 1 acre to approximately 2 acres. The minimum lot size exceeds the minimum lot size requirement of 12,500 square feet for development in the Limited Commercial zone. The lots also exceed the minimum lot width requirement of 90 feet for development as set forth in Kenai Municipal Code 14.24.020. A pp lication , 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 April 22, 2021 . ANALYSIS The lots in the subdivision front Kalifornsky Beach Road, which is a paved road maintained by the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation. Plat Note number 5 denotes that "No private access to State maintained ROWs permitted unless approved by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation". The primary access to the proposed lots would be via Baleen Avenue which is a gravel City maintained road. The applicant granted a 30-foot access easement adjacent to the rights-of way for Kalifornsky Beach Road and VIP Drive. The applicant indicated that this access easement could be used to access the lots in the subdivision . City staff does not recommend that the access easement be utilized for primary access to the lots. Individuals wishing to utilize the access easement would have to make a sharp right turn immediately from Kalifornsky Beach Road onto VIP Drive. This could impede traffic flow exiting off of Kalifornsky Beach Road. The City of Kenai recommends that Baleen Avenue be the primary access for the lots in the subdivision. The City of Kenai does not have water and sewer lines in this area. Property owners would have to install water wells and septic systems. The septic systems must be installed by a DEC certified Page 2 of 3 The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city installer and meet Department of Environmental Conservations regulatory requirements .
