and water are available and are installed on lot 5A-1. The Public Works Director, Fire Marshal,
and Building Official have reviewed the preliminary plat and have no comments.
Staff finds that the preliminary plat meets the following Title 14 of Kenai Municipal Code (KMC)
sections and aligns with the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code.
1. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.070 Subdivision Design Standards, the preliminary plat for replat,
subject to the listed conditions, provides utilities/access easements as denoted in plat
notes 2 and 3, provides a satisfactory and desirable building site, and the accessible water
and wastewater systems are subject to the regulatory requirements of the City of Kenai
Public Works Department.
2. Pursuant to KMC 14.24.010 Minimum lot area requirements, the preliminary plat meets
City standards for minimum lot sizes in the subject zoning districts.
3. Pursuant to KMC 14.24.020 General Requirements, the preliminary plat meets City
standards for minimum lot width/depth and access/utility easements. Compliance with the
maximum lot coverage, maximum height, and setbacks will be reviewed during the

Staff finds that the proposed preliminary plat for Valhalla Heights 2024 Addition to replat Lots 4
and 7, Block 2, Valhalla Heights Subdivision part 2 and Lot 5A-1, Block 2, Valhalla Heights
Subdivision Wisniewski Second Addition meets the general standards for Kenai Municipal Code
