and helping them so they can start building the new facility. He expressed excitement to be working with
them, and noted that he also has plans to build a new house and shop on lot 3A.
Rick McGlasson explained that he had purchased the brewery from the original owners a few years ago.
He noted that the new location in Kenai will be a good fit, and will improve customer traffic year-round.
In response to questions from the commission, McGlasson clarified that he will be running a restaurant in
addition to the brewery; he will not be detrimentally affected by new brewery licensing restrictions because
they are the first brewery in Kenai and their license will be transferred from previous location; clarified
details about development of utility lines.
Chair Twait opened for public hearing. There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing was
closed.
Support was expressed by the commission; it was noted that the brewery will be positive for Kenai’s growth,
is a good fit for future development on the waterfront, and supports the Comprehensive Plan. Discussion
included changing the zoning in the waterfront area to support development, and Director Foster noted that
this could be a recommendation of the feasibility study. The suggestion was made to the business owner
that there be a focus on providing a waterfront view in their landscape plan.
UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested.

Chair Twait noted the fifteen-day appeal period.

GENERAL INFORMATION
McLane Consulting submitted a preliminary plat on behalf of the property owner, Caryn Lee
Giliam. The plat affects KPB Parcel 04901135 a resubdivision of Government Lots 4 & 5 and
the NE1/4 NW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 34, T6N, R11W, S.M. AK.
The proposed King Cove Subdivision will create eight lots, Lots 1, 2, 3 and 5 (approximately 1.733
acres), and a Lots 6, 7, and 8 (approximately 1.0 acres) Lot 4 (approximately 3.00 acres).
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 August, 23, 2022.
ANALYSIS
The subject parcels are currently undeveloped. Access to the proposed King Cove subdivision
is provided via Mile 5.5 Kenai Spur Highway and North Highbush Lane, which is a gravel road,
not maintained by the City. 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 one acre; therefore,
all eight lots meet the minimum lot size 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 greater than 145 feet wide, therefore, the minimum lot width requirement has been
met.
KMC 14.10.070(b)(2) requires the minimum width for minor streets shall be sixty (60) feet. A thirty
foot half right-of-way is being proposed for Highbush Lane which is adjacent to a thirty foot public
road easement associated with the property to the west. Additionally, the unnamed Court is sixty
feet wide and meets the width requirement. There is a proposed thirty foot dedication in the
undeveloped Pearson Avenue fifty foot section line easement along the northern property line.
Along with the adjacent northern property there is in excess of 60’ of road easement.
KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvements required under Chapter 14.10 Subdivision
Regulations.
KMC 14.10.080(c) All street and public ways shall be graded to their full width and to the
appropriate grade, and shall be surfaced to a minimum width of thirty (30) feet in accordance with
applicable standard specifications of the City, and all streets in any subdivision that the City
Page 12
Page 3 of 4
Planning Commission shall designate as major streets shall be surfaced to a minimum width of
forty (40) feet. The cross-section of construction shall contain non-frost susceptible material to the
depth of forty-two (42) inches from appropriate grade, and in the absence of any other specified
depth by applicable standard specifications of the City. Such construction shall be subject to
inspection and approval by the City Engineer or his equivalent under contract by the City, and
shall comply with all applicable City standards for construction.
Pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 the property owner is requesting an exception/waiver to the
requirements of KMC 14.10.080(c) for the installation of Pearson Avenue and the upgrade of
Highbush Lane. An installation agreement for the unnamed court will be required to meet the
above minimum requirements.
Relevant Conditions: Highbush Lane accessing the subdivision was improved in 2012 to
access a drill pad north and west of the subdivision. It is unknown if the road meets City
construction standards for inclusion into the maintenance system. An engineering analysis
will be required before the City is willing to accept the road for maintenance. The road bed
is greater than 30’ wide and accesses one residence beyond the subdivision. The road
was adequate to support large drilling equipment for well development. It should be
adequate to support fire and emergency vehicles. The subdivider will include a note on
the recorded plat that when an improvement district is formed, the real property involved
will be a part of the Improvement district without further action by the then owner of the
property in question.
Pearson Avenue adjacent to this subdivision is an unconstructed section line easement
containing an overhead electric transmission line. The construction of Pearson Avenue
will not be necessary to access this subdivision. The subdivider will include a note on the
recorded plat that when an improvement district is formed, the real property involved will
be a part of the Improvement district without further action by the then owner of the
property in question.
KMC 14.10.080(e) Public water. In subdivisions of ten (10) lots or less, the subdivider will
include a covenant on the recorded plat that when an improvement district is formed, the real
property involved will be a part of the improvement district without further action by the then
owner of the property in question. The plat meets this requirement.
KMC 14.10.080(f). The subdivider shall install sanitary sewer lines to serve each lot. All such
sewer lines shall be constructed in accordance with regulations and requirements of, and under
the supervision of the City Engineer’s office or his equivalent under contract by the City if such
sanitary sewers are available for connection by the said subdivider and are located within one
thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of the subdivider’s nearest lot line.
Pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 the property owner is requesting an exception/waiver to the
requirements of KMC 14.10.080(f) for the installation of sanitary sewer.
Relevant Conditions: An existing sanitary sewer main is available for the developer 750’
from the southwest corner of the subdivision at a stub out at the intersection of the Kenai
Spur Highway and Highbush Lane. The subdivision is comprised of lots that are in excess
of 40,000 square feet and will need to meet the requirements of the Alaska Department of
Page 13
Page 4 of 4
Environmental Conservation (ADEC) for on-site water and waste water systems. An
engineer will providing the necessary submittals to meet the standards for the on-site
systems. The cost for the connection and a system to serve this large-lot subdivision is
prohibitive and may well result in the development being financially unfeasible. The
subdivider will include a note on the recorded plat that when an improvement district is
formed, the real property involved will be a part of the Improvement district without further
action by the then owner of the property in question.

following recommendations and conditions:

regulations.
