The resulting lots range in size from approximately 6.2 acres to 9.8 acres. Tract 113 of Baron Park 2008 Replat is included in this subdivision because of the partial vacation of Magic Avenue. The parcels in this subdivision are zoned Education and (IL) Light Industrial. The minimum lot size in the Education zone is 20,000 square feet. There is no minimum lot size for lots in the Light Industrial zone. The City is in the process of requesting a rezone for existing Baron Park Subdivision Fire Addition from the Education zone to Light Industrial. PZ12-17 Comments Page 2 Tracts 4, 5 and 6 will be accessed off Marathon Road. Tracts 2 and 3 will be accessed off Magic Avenue. The plat includes dedication of an extension of Magic Avenue to provide access to Tract 2. Tract I is accessed off the Kenai Spur Highway. Marathon Road is maintained by the City to the intersection of Willow Street. The Kenai Spur Highway is maintained by the State of Alaska. The City will construct Magic Avenue. Magic Avenue will be maintained by the City of Kenai. This is a City of Kenai development. Water and sewer will serve all lots. Water is available and sewer will be extended to Tract 2. The extension of Magic Avenue will be built to City standards. An installation agreement will not be required. The purpose of an installation agreement is to ensure that infrastructure in new subdivisions is completed so the City does not have to assume responsibility for construction of the utilities and roads. Because the City is the property owner, an installation agreement would serve no purpose.

The resulting parcels meet all zoning requirements. The parcels are located off Marathon Road, Magic Avenue, and Kenai Spur Highway. The parcels will be served by City water and sewer. An installation agreement is not required. Recommend approval as submitted. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. PZ12-17 2. Preliminary Plat
