JEFF TWAIT, CHAIRPERSON ATTEST: ______________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 8 STAFF REPORT PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director DATE: June 4, 2025 SUBJECT: Resolution No. PZ2025-21 – Preliminary Plat – Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended 2025 Replat Request The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat to replat Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended into one 4.546-acre lot to be known as Lot 2A, Block F, Beaver Creek Subdivision Amended. Staff Recommendation Adopt Resolution No. PZ2025-21 recommending approval of Preliminary Plat – Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended 2025 Replat, one 4.546-acre lot to be known as Lot 2A, Block F, Beaver Creek Subdivision Amended. Applicant: McLane Consulting Attn: Andrew Hamilton PO Box 468 Soldotna, AK 99669 Property Owner: Casey Gaze aka Casey J. Gaze & Liana Gaze Legal Descriptions: Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15, Block F, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended, Section 36, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian Property Address: 6575 & 6607 Kenai Spur Highway and 3415 Mudhen Drive KPB Parcel Nos.: 04106302, 04106303, & 04106317 Zoning District: General Commercial (CG) & Rural Residential (RR) Land Use Plan: General Commercial (GC) Surrounding Uses: General Commercial (CG) & Rural Residential (RR) Page 9 Resolution No. PZ2025-21 Preliminary Plat Beaver Creek Alaska Sub. Amended 2025 Replat Page 2 of 3 SUMMARY A preliminary plat has been submitted from McLane Consulting on behalf of the property owner to replat Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended, Section 36, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian into one 4.546-acre lot to be known as Lot 2A, Block F, Beaver Creek Subdivision Amended. Current improvements include an RV campground with hookups and a main structure for administration. 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 intent of the General Commercial (CG) zoning district. There are no minimum lot sizes within the General Commercial zoning district, but the proposed lot size will allow for commercial uses to be developed and operated. The area is immediately adjacent to the Kenai Spur Highway and commercial uses are preferred due to the increased road noise. Commercial developments can help shield future residential development through proper vegetative screening, and the increased distance from the highway. City water and wastewater are not directly available in this area, as a water main is located on the north side of the Kenai Spur Highway. The parcel is currently served by a well and septic system. The water and septic systems must meet the regulatory requirements of the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). Access to the proposed Lots is currently provided via the Kenai Spur Highway, a state-maintained paved road. No direct access to state-maintained rights-of-way are permitted unless approved by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, as denoted in plat note seven (7). All rights-of-way within the proposed preliminary plat are existing. The Public Works Director has reviewed the preliminary plat and had 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 and south boundaries of the lot adjacent to existing rights-of-way. This is denoted in plat note three (3), which states the front 10-feet adjacent to rights-of-way is a utility easement. Prior to new development, the City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator should be contacted for information and regulations. The City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator has reviewed the preliminary plat and has no comments. Staff finds that the preliminary plat to replat Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended, Section 36, 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, and the on-site water and wastewater systems are subject to the regulatory requirements of ADEC.

Pursuant to KMC 14.24.010 Minimum lot area requirements, there are no minimum lot sizes within the General Commercial zoning district, but the proposed lot sizes will allow for commercial uses to be developed and operated on the new parcel. 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 building permit review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that the proposed preliminary plat for Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended 2025 Replat meets the general standards of Kenai Municipal Code (KMC), Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations and Chapter 14.24 Development Requirements Table and hereby recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of Resolution No. PZ2025-21 to replat Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15, Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended, Section 36, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian to the Kenai Peninsula Borough, subject to the following conditions: 1.

PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 25th DAY OF JUNE, 2025. JEFF TWAIT, CHAIRPERSON ATTEST: ______________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 19 STAFF REPORT PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director DATE: June 10, 2025 SUBJECT: Resolution No. PZ2025-22 – Preliminary Plat – Kenaitze Acres Request The applicant is proposing a Right-of-Way Dedication plat of SE 1/4, Section 30, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian. Staff Recommendation Adopt Resolution No. PZ2025-22 recommending approval of Right-of- Way Dedication plat – Kenaitze Acres, granting utility easements and a 33-foot right-of-way along Redoubt Avenue. Applicant: Edge Survey & Design, LLC Attn: Jason Young PO Box 208 Kasilof, AK 99610 Property Owner: Kenaitze Indian Tribe IRA Legal Descriptions: SE 1/4, Section 30, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian Property Address: 1400 Redoubt Avenue KPB Parcel No.: 04101002 Zoning District: Rural Residential (RR) Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential (LDR) Surrounding Uses: Rural Residential, Suburban Residential, and Airport SUMMARY A Right-of-Way Dedication plat has been submitted by Edge Survey & Design, LLC on behalf of the property owner granting utility easements and a 33-foot right-of-way along Redoubt Avenue on SE 1/4, Section 30, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian. This plat will grant a 30-foot by 487-foot utility easement and a 20-foot by 2,122-foot utility easement along the western boundary; a 60-foot by 977-foot utility easement aligned to the north of Walnut Avenue; Page 20 Resolution No. PZ2025-22 Preliminary Plat Kenaitze Acres Page 2 of 3 a 30-foot by 180-foot utility easement between the aforementioned easement and Windward Drive in the Inlet Woods Subdivision; and dedicating the 33-foot Redoubt Avenue right-of-way with a 10-foot utility easement. There is a steep ravine impacting the southeast corner of the parcel. There are no current plans to bridge this ravine until future development warrants. Redoubt Avenue will terminate in a cul-de-sac on either side of the ravine. The western end of Redoubt Avenue will approach from N. Forest Drive and the east will terminate at the edge of the airport until development warrants. Redoubt Avenue is on a section line easement, which allows for the continuation of the easement through ravine. This plat does not intend to subdivide the property, as it is Kenaitze Indian Tribe’s intention to retain ownership of the entire parcel, even after development is completed. 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 Right-of-Dedication plat far exceeds the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet (≈ 0.47 acre) for the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district. The parcel is 158.275 acres. City water and sewer is available along Redoubt Avenue and North Forest Drive at the southwest corner of the parcel. Extensions of the water and sewer mains onto the parcel will be completed as a condition of development. Access to the proposed Lots is provided via Redoubt Avenue, a maintained asphalt City road. A private road ROW is within the proposed preliminary plat and is newly dedicated as of this plat. The proposed dedicated ROW overlays a utility easement that is granted to the City of Kenai for the installation and maintenance of water and wastewater utilities. The City of Kenai Public Works Department has reviewed the preliminary plat and has no comments. There is an existing agreement between the City of Kenai, as agreed to in Resolution 2025-37 where the City of Kenai will conduct limited road maintenance for a period of ten years. Therefore, staff finds that an installation agreement may be required for the final plat. This plat will grant a 30-foot by 487-foot utility easement and a 20-foot by 2,122-foot utility easement along the western boundary; a 60-foot by 977-foot utility easement aligned to the north of Walnut Avenue; a 30-foot by 180-foot utility easement between the aforementioned easement and Windward Drive in the Inlet Woods Subdivision; and dedicating the 33-foot Redoubt Avenue right-of-way with a 10-foot utility easement. The parcel has been designated by FEMA as non-regulatory flood zone D, described as Undetermined Flood Risk (See Floodplain Designation Exhibit A). Prior to development, the City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator should be contacted for information and regulations. The City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator has reviewed the preliminary plat and has no comments. Staff finds that the preliminary plat for Right-of-Way Dedication plat of SE 1/4, Section 30, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian meet s the following Title 14 of Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) sections and aligns with the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code.

Pursuant to KMC 14.24.020 General Requirements, the preliminary plat meets City standards for minimum lot width/depth and access/utility easements.

Therefore, staff finds that an installation agreement is not required for the preliminary plat. The northeast and eastern portions of the proposed lots are prone to riverine inundation. Prior to development, the City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator should be contacted for information and regulations.

Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code Section 14.15.140, City Council may change, rename, or name an existing street or newly established street within City limits upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission and after consultation with the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) or any other affected municipality. In accordance with this section of code, the resolution has been referred to the Planning & Zoning Commission for their review and recommendation. Planning & Zoning staff met with the Kenai Post Office Postmaster on June 5, 2025. On June 17, 2025, staff was informed that if the resolution is passed by Council, the legislation should then be taken to the post office as soon as possible to forward to Anchorage’s main post office. The main Anchorage post office will officially forward all mail of affected properties for a period of one year to allow for new addresses to be updated. On June 5, 2025, Planning & Zoning staff emailed all affected City departments to include Fire, Police, Parks & Recreation, and Public Works. One comment was received on behalf of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are four distinct addresses associated with the plant, two of which are on South Spruce Street. It was recommended to reduce this to one and readdress the plant to Kenai Avenue, which is the street on which it physically has frontage. A copy of this comment is attached to this memorandum. On June 11, 2025, written notices were mailed to all property owners and property lessees along South Spruce Street. In addition to those notices, a 300’ buffer for public noticing was set along the entire length of the street. Notices were sent to these additional properties to inform the surrounding area of the potential name change. The notice contained information about the June 25, 2025 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, as well as the public hearing to take place on July 2, 2025 City Council meeting. As of the date of this memorandum, no comments had been received. On June 17, 2025, staff contacted the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The Borough confirmed the proposed name does not conflict with any other Borough or Municipality street name. If passed, Page 65 Page 2 of 2 a copy of the resolution must be sent to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Department to allow them to update their addressing system and other data used by their GIS department and Central Emergency Services dispatch, which is the backup emergency dispatch to the City of Kenai. Lastly, on June 17, 2025, staff contacted the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities’ regional planner. An inquiry was made to determine any potential impacts to the Kenai Spur Highway and relevant signage. As of the date of this memorandum, no comments had been received.

Spruce Date:Friday, June 6, 2025 8:01:45 AM Attachments:image001.png image002.png Kevin, The WWTP's address has multiple listings. It is listed as 600 S. Spruce St. with the city and DEC. The borough has 2 addresses listed for it, 200 S. Spruce St. and 301 S Forest Drive. Google lists the address as 1450 Kenai Ave. I don’t know which one we want to go with, but we should probably get everything straightened out. The only road that the WWTP fronts is Kenai Ave. Would we want to make this the actual address? I know it is really hard to get any deliveries down at the plant and for people to find the facility. Listing the address as Kenai Ave may help with that issue as the wastewater treatment plant is the only facility that lies on Kenai Ave. I am open to anything, but most of all, it would be nice to just have it straightened out.
