single-family dwelling units. The criteria for conditional use permits was reviewed; it was noted

Chair Twait opened for public hearing.
Wayne Jones expressed concerns about the development such as the effect on neighboring
property values, the organization’s non-local base, the potential loss of wooded spaces in the
neighborhood, and increased traffic.
Fred Braun spoke in favor of the development, and clarified that the developer is an Alaskan
resident. He explained his reasons for supporting the resolution, including the lack of rentals
available in the area and the tax dollars it will provide to the City.
Star McCloud stated her opposition to the development, expressing concerns about the wildlife
that can be found on the property, the addition of new driveways, and negative effects on
neighboring property values. She encouraged the Commission to visit the neighborhood to see
for themselves.
Sharon Shinn stated that she shared her neighbors’ opposition to the development and their
concerns about increased traffic, effect on wildlife, and negative effects on neighboring property
values.
Rob Coreson clarified that Byler Contracting builds all over the state, and noted the quality and
cleanliness of the projects they’ve completed locally. He explained the size and layout of the
proposed units.
Wayne Jones noted that a number of homes in the area are rentals. He questioned the zoning
classification of “medium density” for the residential area, and the length of time after planting for
vegetation to hide the development.
Fred Braun explained that they intend to rent to professional people and this will not be low-
income housing.

There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
It was noted that no negative reports or complaints have been received regarding the
organization’s other similar project.
Commissioner Springer explained he will vote yes on this resolution, because once the plat is
approved there would be no need to have a Conditional Use Permit for this, and would only need
to receive a Building Permit for two four-plexes.
Clarification was provided that the applicant is required to plant a screen of trees as part of their
landscape plan in order to receive approval.
Commissioner Douthit explained he will be voting yes, because he sees no difference in terms of
density between this plan and the possibility for another contractor to create eight individual lots
and create the same number of residences. He explained that the size of the proposed
residences are average and not inadequately sized, and a growing community will naturally result
in less green space. He also noted that the driveway plans meet City code.
Chair Twait explained he is in favor of the resolution, because it meets the criteria. He noted that
he understands the public’s concerns, but that the applicant can’t be penalized because neighbors
wants to preserve the property as a green space. He noted that he does not expect neighboring
property values to be harmed by this development.
Commissioner Greenberg explained that he will vote to approve the resolution, because the
property is private ownership and we can’t mandate that it remain green space. He noted that
the landscape plan requirement to plant a screen of trees will provide a good buffer to maintain
visual integrity.
Commissioner Halstead explained that he agrees with the other commissioners and will vote to
approve the resolution, because the Conditional Use Permit application meets our requirements
and it follows the City code, and he anticipates this being a well-maintained project.
VOTE:
YEA: Halstead, Douthit, Greenberg, Twait, Springer
NAY:
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chair Twait noted the fifteen-day appeal period.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Edge Survey and Design has submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of the property owners, Kenai
Landing, Inc. and PRL Logistics, Inc. The plat affects the parcel described as T 5N R 11W SEC

11W SEC 17 SEWARD MERIDIAN KN 2015029 KENAI RIVER SHORES SUB TRACT 1. A
Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Residential Development (PUD) was recently issued
for 2101 Bowpicker Lane in May of 2021. This plat will allow for the construction of Phase A of
the PUD for 60 residential units.
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 June 4, 2021.
ANALYSIS
Access to the preliminary plat is provided via Cannery Road, which is a paved Kenai Peninsula
Borough maintained road.
City water and sewer lines are not available in this area. The properties are currently serviced by
private wells and onsite septic systems and an installation agreement will not be required.
The preliminary plat requests exceptions to the requirements of KMC Subdivision design
standards and KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10
Subdivision Regulations and to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Subdivision Code (see Attachment
C). These requested exceptions regard requirements for wastewater, access, and design
standards. Any infrastructure improvements (roadways, sewer, water, etc.) are considered private
by the City of Kenai. Regarding any roadways or other infrastructure improvements that do not
meet minimum standards required by the City of Kenai, if at any future time the City takes
ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities of roadways within the subdivision or other
Page 15
Page 3 of 4
infrastructure improvements will have to be improved to meet City of Kenai Standards in effect at
time of acceptance. The cost of any infrastructure improvements to meet City of Kenai standards
will be borne by property owners in the subdivision by assessment without further approval
required. The applicant will also provide the City of Kenai a copy of DEC compliance certification
on the water/sewer system.
Since the Kenai Peninsula Borough has platting authority in the City of Kenai, Staff recommends
that the discussion and determination of the requested exceptions be executed through the KPB
platting process. Staff members with the City of Kenai would be available for any future
discussions on the topic of exceptions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Kenai Landing Subdivision 2021
Addition, subject to the following conditions:
1. Further development of the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
2. Add a Plat Note as following: Any infrastructure improvements (roadways, sewer, water,
etc.) are considered private by the City of Kenai. Regarding any roadways or other
infrastructure improvements that do not meet minimum standards required by the City of
Kenai, if at any future time the City takes ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities
of roadways within the subdivision or other infrastructure improvements will have to be
improved to meet City of Kenai Standards in effect at time of acceptance. The cost of any
infrastructure improvements to meet City of Kenai standards will be borne by property
owners in the subdivision by assessment without further approval required.
3. Property owner will provide the City of Kenai a copy of DEC compliance certification on
the water/sewer system.
4. The City of Kenai requests to receive approval from the Kenai Peninsula Borough on
exception to requirements of Subdivision Code.
5. Plat Note 22 should update the KPB Plat Committee meeting date as necessary.
6. Surveyor and property owner must work with the City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula

regulations.

requirements in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Subdivision Regulations.
8. Staff members of the City of Kenai would be available for any future discussions on the
topic of exceptions.

Kenai Landing Subdivision 2021 Addition
Exceptions to borough code.
20.40.010. - Wastewater disposal. 20.30.190. - Lots—Dimensions.
20.30.200. - Lots—Minimum size.
Findings: Lots 1 and 2 will not be developed and will not produce wastewater.
1) The land and improvements are for parking, and for docking and launching of marine vessels
only. There are no permanent residences or offices planned or associated with this use. There
is no wastewater produced by this use.; the small amounts generated by transient users is met
with portable toilets.
2) Historically, potable water for marine vessels is trucked in.
3) If the need for wastewater services arises in the future, the adjacent owner operates an
approved, large volume wastewater treatment facility and is agreeable to connection.
Note with 20.40.080 will be provided.
20.30.210. - Lots—Access to street.
20.30.030. - Proposed street layout—Requirements.
20.30.120. - Streets—Width requirements.
20.30.170. - Blocks—Length requirements.
Findings:
1) An Exception to code is likely not required insofar as an existing SLE acts as dedicated legal
access to all subdivided Tracts under 20.30.030.
2) Applicant has provided an access plan verifying the existence of legal access to the
subdivision boundary and that construction design requirements under KPB Chapter 20.30
are practical and economical. 20.30.050 defines legal access “where unrestricted, public
ROW connects the subdivision to the state highway system….and one of the following is
met.”
The applicant has presented satisfactory evidence meeting criteria #2 thereunder.
3) 20.30.050(A)(1) directly references Section Lines as a means of legal access.
4) Parcel A abuts the 50'-wide public access easement created in replacement of a
section line easement and carries with it all of the same rights, titles and interests to
the public that a section line does. The wording of the easement supports this
conclusion.
5) With reference to 20.30.050(A)(4), the state easement carries the full weight of a
judicial decree since it absolutely involved a quasi-judicial proceeding involving the
department of law and their consent.
Page 23
6) The KPB was party to the State easement agreement and the public process that
created the easement; the 60' width requirement was agreed to by the KPB at the
time. It is neither fair nor reasonable to re-visit this ROW width.

the Northwest one-quarter (NW ¼ SW ¼ NW 1/4, in Section 34, Township 6 North, Range 11
West, Seward Meridian, Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial District, State of Alaska. The
property owner proposes to subdivide an approximately 10-acre parcel into two lots of
approximately 4.344 acres (Lot 1) and 4.344 acres (Lot 2).
ANAYLISIS
The subject parcel is currently undeveloped. The subdivision is located in the Rural Residential
zone, which requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. Each lot is in excess of four (4)
acres; therefore, both lots meet the minimum lot size requirement for the zone. The minimum lot
width for the Residential Zone is ninety feet with the exception of corner lots which require an
additional ten feet as set forth in Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.70(e)(4). Each lot is
approximately 280 feet in width, therefore, the minimum lot requirement has been met.
KMC 14.10.070(b)(2) requires the minimum width for minor streets shall be sixty (60) feet. The
plat dedicates a 30-foot right-of-way for Fox Avenue. An additional 30- foot right-of-way for Fox
Avenue has been dedicated by the plat of Kempf Subdivision which lies to the South of Lot 1,
“Triple C” Subdivision. In addition, a 33-foot right-of-way was reserved in the Patent for
Government Lot 55, Section 34, T6N, R11W, which lies to the South of Lot 2, “Triple C”
Subdivision.
McCollum Drive is developed to the Southwest corner of the proposed Lot 1, “Triple C”
Subdivision. The plat dedicates a 30-foot right-of-way for McCollum Drive. A 50-foot section line
easement exists on the parcel adjacent to the dedicated right-of-way for McCollum Drive. If Triple
“C” Subdivision is further subdivided it would be required to develop the right-of-way of McCollum
Drive.
The plat dedicates a 30 foot right of way for Chiniak Street. An additional 33 feet was dedicated
by the plat of Chiniak Subdivision and Chiniak Subdivision Part 2 which lies to the east of Lot 2
“Triple C” Subdivision. If Triple “C” Subdivision is further subdivided it would be required to
develop the right-of-way of Chiniak Street.
Access to the proposed lots is via McCollum Drive and Fox Avenue. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080,
the City will require an installation agreement for development of Fox Avenue from McCollum
Drive to Chiniak Street. The installation agreement will be developed after the preliminary plat is
approved and improvements will be constructed in accordance with the installation agreement.
City water lines are existing within the right-of-way of Fox Avenue and can be extended to the
subdivision. Pursuant to KMC 17.10.010(a) property owner must connect to the public water
system; provided, that any part of the structure is or is to be within two hundred (200) feet of an
existing public water main adjacent to the property line in a right of way.
City sewer lines are located within the right-of-way of McCollum Drive with a manhole located at
the southwest corner of the subject parcel. Additionally, sewer lines are located at the southeast
corner of the subject parcel, located within the right-of-way of Fox Avenue. Pursuant to KMC
17.20.010(a) property owner must connect to the public sewage system; provided, that any part
of the structure is or is to be within two hundred (200) feet of an existing public sewer main
adjacent to the property line in a right of way.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Ryan Foster, Planning Director
DATE: June 3, 2021
SUBJECT: Special Use Permit to Weaver Brothers, Inc. for Truck Trailer Storage
James H. Doyle, Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers, Inc. has requested to use three adjacent
City-owned parcels along Coral Street and two portions of additional City owned land for storage
of truck trailers for one-year from June 21, 2021 to June 20, 2022. Weaver Brothers, Inc. has
been storing truck trailers on three parcels via special use permit from June 20, 2019 to June 20,
2021. This request differs from the previous two approved special use permits by including two
additional portions of City owned land, as depicted in Attachment C, in order to adjust for actual
current usage for parking truck trailers. This requested SUP use is similar to the use of two parcels
under a five-year lease from the City by Weaver Brothers for truck storage along Coral Street and
allows for a temporary expansion of their business. The attached maps show the location of the
parcels requested for a special use permit. The application submitted to the City is also attached
to this memorandum.
The Coral Street Airport Zone of the City was appraised at a rate of $0.50 per square foot and the
CPI adjustment for the past year is -1.01%. The annual permit fee would be $3,442.67 for all five
lots based on $0.50 per square foot, 86,945 total square feet to be used, CPI adjustment of
-1.01%, and an 8% of fair market value annual special use permit rate.
The parcels are within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone of the City and within the Airport
Reserve. Pursuant to requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration, the City would reserve
the right to cancel this special use permit on 90-days’ notice.
The recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be provided to City Council as
part of their decision process for the special use permit. If City Council approves, City
Administration would execute a special use permit for truck trailer storage for 12 months to James
H. Doyle, Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers, Inc.
Please review the attached draft special use permit and application materials.
What is the recommendation of the Commission to City Council for the special use permit
request?
