SUMMARY
A preliminary plat has been submitted from Edge Survey and Design, LLC on behalf of the
property owner for a subdivision of Government Lots 128 and 129, Section 31,Township 6 North,
Range 11 West, Seward Meridian, to merge the two (2) Lots into a single, approximately 2.247-
acre parcel and dedicate the patented right-of-way along Second Avenue. Lot 129 improvements
include a single-family dwelling, driveway with paved parking area, and an on-site septic system.
Lot 128 is currently vacant.
Kenai Municipal Code(KMC) Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or
replats must first be submitted to the City for review and provide recommendation to the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Planning Commission.
ANALYSIS
The proposed replat meets the minimum lot size requirement of 7,200 square feet (- 0.17 acre)
for the Suburban Residential (RS) zoning district. The size of proposed Lot 1 is approximately
97,879 Square feet(2.247 acres).
City water is available along Second Avenue and has been installed on Lot 129. City wastewater
is not available along Second Avenue therefore a private septic system has been installed on Lot
129. The private septic system is subject to the regulatory requirements of the State of Alaska,
Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC).
Access to the proposed Lots is provided via Second Avenue, a City-maintained gravel road.
The Second Avenue right-of-way within the proposed preliminary plat is newly dedicated
according to United States Land Patents 1195774 and 1169230, as denoted in plat note three
(3).The proposed dedicated right-of-way is along the existing Second Avenue right-of-way. The
City of Kenai Public Works Department has reviewed the preliminary plat and has no comments.
Therefore, staff finds that an installation agreement is not required for the preliminary plat.
A 10-foot easement for utilities is located along the north boundary of the proposed lot adjacent
to Second Avenue, as denoted in plat note two (2), which states the front 10-feet adjacent to
rights-of-way is a utility easement.
Staff finds that the preliminary plat for a subdivision of Government Lots 128 and 129, Section.31,
Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian 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
subdivision, subject to the listed conditions, provides utility/access easements, provides
satisfactory and desirable building sites. The City water is subject to the regulatory

systems are subject to the regulatory requirements of ADEC.
2. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvement required, the Second Avenue right-
of-way within the proposed preliminary plat is newly dedicated. Second Avenue is an
existing street and is determined acceptable access.Therefore, an installation agreement
is not required.
