Replat Number 2, submitted by Segesser Surveys, 30485 Rosland Street,
Soldotna, AK 99669, on behalf of the City of Kenai, 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai,
AK 99611
Planning Director Foster presented his staff report with information provided in packet, noting that
the applicant wishes to vacate the property lines between Lot 22A, Block 13, and Lot 21, 20, and
19, Block 13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision, which will create a larger tract to be described as Lot
19A, Block 13, Carl F. Ahlstrom Subdivision, RPM's Replat Number 2. The applicant also wishes
to vacate the utility easements as set forth on the Preliminary plat.
Approval of the plat was recommended, subject to the following conditions:
• Further development of.the property shall conform to all federal, State of Alaska, and local
regulations.
• The Kenai City Council must declare the ten -foot (10') utility easements are not needed
for a public purpose and approve the vacation of the utility easements as shown on the
preliminary plat.
MOTION:
Commissioner Woodard MOVED to approve Resolution No. PZ2021-09 and Vice Chair Fikes
SECONDED the motion.
Chair Twait opened for public hearing; there being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing
was closed.
The question was raised of whether or not the owner intended to demolish or expand any existing
structures. It was clarified that we currently had no information on future improvements beyond
the subdivision and vacation of utility lines, but if that occurred then the Planning & Zoning
department would be notified by the Building department when the owner applies for a permit. It
was also clarified that the vacation the easements would not inhibit any road construction orfuture
development in the area. It was explained how vacating these easements could benefit the
landowner as they might find it more advantageous to consolidate four separate parcels into one
lot.
