Legal Access (existing and proposed):
The proposed vacation is Sixth Street, a 60-foot dedication located between Lot 2, Kenai Meadows (KN 2017-17)
and Lot 3, Kenai Meadows Addition No. 1 (KN 2023-48) running a length of 230 feet. Sixth Street is located west
of Nightingale St. in Kenai, on the north side of Redoubt Avenue, a 100-foot dedicated right-of-way.
Sixth Street currently provides access to three lots. These lots are proposed to be reconfigured by the plat finalizing
the vacation and will have legal access provided by the new right-of-way dedications.
The vacation of Sixth St will be finalized by the proposed plat, Kenai Meadows Addition No. 2 being reviewed at the
Plat Committee at the July 14, 2025 meeting. The plat will reconfigure the previous right-of-way, Sixth Street, by
relocating the dedication to the east. A new dedication is proposed on the north end of Sixth St, connecting Fifth
Street to Nightingale Street, to be named Texas Ave having a 60' ride dedication. Staff Recommends the Surveyor
Page 1 of 6
E5-4
confirm and provide confirmation of the right-of-way name for the dedication. The plat states "Texas Avenue" and
the COK Resolution states the name "State Avenue." as the name inside the City of Kenai.
Block length is not compliant with the proposed plat. The parent plat Kenai Meadows (KN 2017-17) was granted
exceptions to KPB 20.30.030 Proposed Street Layout -Requirements for the extension of California Avenue to
Nightingale Street, Florida Avenue to Nightingale Street, and Fifth Street to California Avenue. Currently there are
non -developed roads located extending north into Tract A2 from the extension of Fifth St to the intersection with
California Ave and then running west to the wet boundary of Tract A2 and the right-of-way of California Ave. An
exception to KPB 20.30.170 Block Length was also granted to the parent plat. Kenai Meadows Addition No. 1 (KN
2023-48) carrying forward the previously granted exceptions. The dedication of Texas Avenue will provide relief to
the block length on the south. Staff recommends the plat committee allow carrying forward the previously granted
exceptions and plat notes from the parent plats with the reasonable expectation that future preliminary plats of Tract
A2 shall comply with current code at the time of submittal and dedication of right-of-ways be done as needed and
required.
KPB records indicate an 83-foot section line easement located to the south within Redoubt Avenue with 33 feet on
the north side of the section line and 50 feet on the south of the section line. There is a 66-foot section line easement
located to the east within Nightingale Street with 33-feet located on either side of the section line. Staff
recommends the surveyor verify the easements and depict and label the section line easements on the final plat.

Site Investigation:
According to the KWF Wetlands Assessment, there are no wetlands present on the subject property. The land is
relatively flat with slight slopes located in the northern area. No slopes exceed 20% in grade. The improvements
appear they will be located on proposed Lot 2A. There do not appear to be any encroachments.
Apartments are located on Lot 2(KN 2017-17) and Lot 3 (KN 2023-48) is vacant according to KPB Assessing
Records. The improvements appear they will be located on proposed Lot 2A.
The City of Kenai is considered an independent community by the National Flood Insurance Program and is not
within the jurisdiction of the KPB Floodplain Management Program. Kenai administers their own floodplain program.
The proper plat note has been included as plat note number 2.

Staff Analysis:
Originally the land consisted of an aliquot portion of the SE1/4 of Section 25, Township 6 North, Range 12 West,
Seward Meridian, Kenai, Alaska. Kenai Meadows (KN 2017-17) subdivided an approximated 78-acre unsubdivided
remainder (KN 1355). Kenai Meadows Addition No. 1, Plat KN 2023-48, platted more lots and dedicated the current
right-of-way for Sixth Street.
The vacation of Sixth St will be finalized by the proposed plat, Kenai Meadows Addition No. 2. The plat will
reconfigure the previous right-of-way, Sixth Street, by relocating the dedication to the east and reconfiguring lots 2,
3 and 4. A new dedication is proposed to the north, connecting Fifth Street to Nightingale Street. The plat is
scheduled to be reviewed by the Plat Committee on July 14, 2025.
Sixth Street currently provides access to two lots and a tract. The lots are proposed to be reconfigured by the plat
finalizing the vacation and will have legal access provided by the new right-of-way dedications.
The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat that will finalize the vacation,
Kenai Meadows Addition No. 2, at their February 14, 2025 meeting. They adopted Resolution PZ 2025-19,
recommending approval subject to conditions. A copy of the resolution and meeting minutes can be found in the
staff packet. The City review and Resolution PZ2025-19 did not include Lot 2 Kenai Meadows KN2017-17, but the
City is aware of the addition of this lot to the new submittal and will include it in the approval by City Council. The
Kenai City Council must approve the vacation after the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission review in
order for the vacation to be finalized by plat. Staff recommends the surveyor satisfy the conditions set by the City.
An easement with a non -defined location was granted to Homer Electric Association by Book 2, Page 34, KRD, and
is denoted as plat number 5.
There is a water and sewer easement granted to the City of Kenai by Book 73, Page 347, KRD, located within the
northwest corner of the subdivision. The easement has been depicted and is denoted as plat note number 7.
Kenai Meadows Addition No 1 (KN 2023-48) granted a 10-foot utility easement adjacent to all rights -of -way. Staff
recommends the surveyor label the easements granted by the parent plat and label the new easements as
dedicated by this plat.
An easement in the certificate to plat filed at 2017-005770-0 needs to be included on the drawing and notes.
20.65.050 — Action on vacation application
D. The planning commission shall consider the merits of each vacation request and in all cases the planning
commission shall deem the area being vacated to be of value to the public. It shall be incumbent upon the
applicant to show that the area proposed for vacation is no longer practical for the uses or purposes
authorized, or that other provisions have been made which are more beneficial to the public. In evaluating
the merits of the proposed vacation, the planning commission shall consider whether:
1. The right-of-way or public easement to be vacated is being used;
Staff comments: No, currently undeveloped per KPB GIS Imagery.
2. A road is impossible or impractical to construct, and alternative access has been provided;
Staff comments: No, but the road is being re -located to the east for better practicality.
3. The surrounding area is fully developed and all planned or needed rights -of -way and utilities are
constructed;
Staff comments: The adjacent lots will have legal access and associated utility easements as
proposed by the plat finalizing the vacation. The land to the north can be subdivided further in the
future and provide additional dedications.
Page 3 of 6
E5-6
4. The vacation of a public right-of-way provides access to a lake, river, or other area with public interest or
value, and if so, whether equal or superior access is provided;
Staff comments: The right-of-way does not provide access to public lands or areas with public
interest.
5 The proposed vacation would limit opportunities for interconnectivity with adjacent parcels, whether
developed or undeveloped;
Staff comments: The re -location of the road provides adequate connection to surrounding parcels.
6. Other public access, other than general road use, exist or are feasible for the right-of-way;
Staff comments: no
7. All existing and future utility requirements are met. Rights -of -way which are utilized by a utility, or which
logically would be required by a utility, shall not be vacated, unless it can be demonstrated that equal or
superior access is or will be available. Where an easement would satisfactorily serve the utility interests,
and no other public need for the right-of-way exists, the commission may approve the vacation and
require that a utility easement be granted in place of the right-of-way.
Staff comments: The vacation has been sent to the utility companies for review and comments.
Utility provides have existing lines in this area. The adjacent lots will have legal access and
associated utility easements as proposed by the plat finalizing the vacation.
8. Any other factors that are relevant to the vacation application or the area proposed to be vacated.
Staff comments: The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission granted conditional approval
by Adopting Resolution PZ 2025-19 during their May 14, 2025 meeting.
A KPB Planning Commission decision denying a vacation application is final. A KPB Planning Commission decision
to approve the vacation application is subject to consent or veto by the KPB Assembly, or City Council if located
within City boundaries. The KPB Assembly, or City Council must hear the vacation within thirty days of the Planning
Commission decision.
The City Council will hear the vacation at their scheduled 2025 meeting.
If approved, Kenai Meadows Addition No. 2, will finalize the proposed right of way vacations. The Plat Committee
is scheduled to review the plat on July 14cn

F. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Resolution No. PZ2025-17 — Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Develop and Operate
an 82-Unit Indoor Heated Storage Facility on the Property Described as Lot 1 BLK 2 of
Mommsens Sub Replat Addn No 1, Addn No 2, Located at 1001 Third Street. in the Urban►
Residential (RUB Zoning District.
MOTION:
Commissioner Woodard MOVED to approve Resolution PZ2025-17. Vice Chair Earsley SECONDED the
motion,
Planning Director Buettner provided an overview of the staff report as included in the packet and attached
to Resolution No. PZ2025-17; he noted that the application was for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to
develop and operate an indoor heated min► -storage facility with approximately 82 units, Zoning and uses
of surrounding properties were reviewed-, it was noted that staff's recommendation is approval subject to
the conditions specified within the staff report as attached to Resolution No. PZ2025-17,
Adam Tugan, applicant, noted that he was available for questions.
Chair Twait opened the floor for public hearing.
Michael Urciuoli, resident, spoke in opposition to the CUP. He expressed concerns that Third Street was
not up to code and required maintenance prior to being used as an access for the proposed business;
that homeless people may live in the units; and that this commercial facility does not belong in a
residential area.
Gwen Urciuoli, resident, spoke in opposition to the CUP. She expressed concerns that this CUP would
set a precedent for future commercial uses in the neighborhood: that it would have long-term zoning
implications; that it would affect property values: that it would have bright lighting and security cameras;
and that it could increase noise and crime in the neighborhood.
There being no one wishing to be heard, the public hearing period was closed.
In response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Tugan clarified that he also owns the adjacent lots
which are intended for two fourplex buildings-, that he intends to fence the entire property surrounding the
proposed storage units; that there could be 24-hour access-, that their current plans do not include
water/sewer hookups; and that the site would be managed remotely, although these details had not been
finalized.
Jeremie Bird, Mr. Tugan's business partner, further clarified that they intend to have 7:00 a.m. to 7-00
p.m, site access so there would not be 24-hour traffic; that they were not opposed to access on Redoubt
Ave, and they will consider alternative lighting schematics to minimize disturbance to neighbors.
Concerns were expressed by the Commission regarding the condition and lack of maintenance on Third
Street and whether Redoubt Ave may be a more appropriate access point; that large vehicle and trailer
traffic would cause issues on Third Avenue, and that this commercial entity did not belong in the
residential neighborhood.
Clarification was provided that the site access would be determined at the building permit stage when
site and landscaping plans are finalized; that if the access point is on Third Street, the developer would
be responsible for improving the street from Redoubt Avenue to the access point to meet City standards;
that there would be one access point for entry and exit; that fire safety measures would be determined at
a later date as part of the building review process; and that the City may pursue grant funding in the
future to improve road conditions in this area.
