ITEM 3: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT -- None ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION OF PLATS • The requirement to apply for the rezone had been recommended by the City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission when the preliminary plat was reviewed. • The rezone would be for the southerly portion of Lot lA. • Staff recommended approval. Chairman Twait opened the public hearing. Charles Bailey, 1503 Toyon Way, Kenai, Alaska -- Bailey asked if the applicant had title to the property. City Planner Kebschull replied the portion of this property at issue is-the southern portion and Mr. Craig is the owner by court order. Kebschull added that Mr. Craig is attempting to attach the lot to the other parcel and when the plat is finalized the plat would have to be signed by all property owners, a platting requirement of the Borough and State. Bailey asked for confirmation that ante the lots are joined then the condo owners have a right to or ownership of the property. Kebschull replied, it was a legal question and she could only confirm once the plat is final, every property owner would be required to sign the plat. Kebschull added, she did not know if that would give the property owners' rights to that portion of the property. - Bailey noted, in December Craig still had not handed aver the property to the condominium and it was still in his name. Kebschull noted, the Borough records indicate the property has a value of $100 and there are six additional parcel numbers attached to the parcel and each have been assessed for a portion of the value, so she l believes each of the owners own a portion. J Bailey asked if Mr. Craig could build on the property if the plat goes through. Kebschull responded there are currently six units on the property and Code says that anything above six units in that zone requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The property owners could apply for a variance for a CUP to add a seventh structure but she would recommend that not be approved. It was clarified that Bailey was a neighbor and not a condo owner. Jim While, 1509 Toyon Way, Kenai, Alaska -- White indicated he was unsure of what was going on.but would tentatively express disapproval of the project because he believed a structure would be built on the property. There being no further public comment, the public hearing was closed. MOTION: Commissioner Lewis MOVED to approve PZ07-l l .and Commissioner Bryson SECONDED the motion.
