STAFF REPORT
Specific Request / Purpose as stated in the petition: Vacation of 20-foot pedestrian easement located along the
north line of Lot 48 Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition (KN 2024-83).
Notification: The public hearing notice was published in the January 2, 2026 issue of the Peninsula Clarion and
the January 1, 2026 issue of the Homer News as part of the Commission's tentative agenda.
The public notice was posted on the Planning Commission bulletin board at the Kenai Peninsula Borough George
A. Navarre Administration building. Additional notices were mailed to the following with the request to be posted for
public viewing.
Library of Kenai Post Office of Kenai
Nine certified mailings were sent to owners of property within 300 feet of the proposed vacation. Zero receipts had
been returned when the staff report was prepared.

Legal Access (existing and proposed):
A 20-foot pedestrian easement is located on the northern boundary of Lot 48, Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition (KN
2024-83). This easement was originally dedicated by Shoreline Heights Subdivision No. 3 (KN 99-5) and has been
carried forward on subsequent plats. Review of KPB GIS Imagery indicates that the easement has not been
developed.
Pey Drive provides connection to the northwest corner of the pedestrian easement proposed for vacation. This
right-of-way was originally dedicated by Shoreline Heights 2014 Addition Phase 1 (KN 2015-24). Pey Drive is a 60-
foot, city -maintained right-of-way that intersects with Ninilchik Drive and Bree Avenue to the south. Both
intersections provide direct access to the Kenai Spur Highway, a state -maintained road.
Page 1 of 6
E3-4
Portions of the ADL Public Access easement, 63572, was vacated by plat KN 2017-10. This ADL crossed the east
30 feet of Lot 48.
The block is defined by Sunset Boulevard to the north, Kenai Spur Highway to the east, Ninilchik Drive to the south
and Pey Drive to the west. The parcel immediately to the north is owned by Cook Inlet Region Inc. Should future
subdivision occur on this parcel, it is reasonable to expect additional right-of-way dedication to support the block
requirement.

Staff Analysis:
The land originally contained the NE1/4 of Section 26, Township 6 North, Range 12 West, Seward Meridian, City
of Kenai. Multiple subdivisions have since been recorded. The most recent plat, Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition
(KN 2024-83), created Lot 48, the affected parcel. The 20-foot pedestrian easement was carried forward from parent
plats.
The City Staff Report dated September 25, 1998, identified the pedestrian easement as intended to provide access
to fishing sites along the Cook Inlet. Subsequent plats dedicated rights -of -way, including Pey Drive and Ninilchik
Drive, resulting in the pedestrian easement being unnecessary on Lot 48, Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition (KN
2024-83).
Page 2 of 6
E3-5
The parcel immediately to the north is an unsubdivided parcel of 8.79 acres owned by Cook Inlet Region, Inc.
Remaining adjacent parcels have been subdivided, and all surrounding parcels maintain legal access via Pey Drive
or Ninilchik Drive.
Shoreline Heights Subdivision (KN 85-184) granted a 10-foot-wide utility easement along the northern boundary.
HEA has reviewed the vacation and confirmed that the northern 10-foot utility easement must remain.
Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition (KN 2024-83) also granted a 10-foot utility easement adjacent to Pey Drive. Both
easements are depicted and labeled on the submittal. Staff recommends updating the source reference for the
northern utility easement to KN 85-184 and on the vacation plat distinction be made that the utility easements are
not being vacated and possibly a plat note be added.
Upon approval, the vacation of the pedestrian easement will be finalized by plat, Shoreline Heights 2025 Vacation.
On October 13, 2025, the preliminary plat was reviewed by the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
during its regularly scheduled meeting. The Commission unanimously adopted resolution PZ2025-31,
recommending approval of the Preliminary Plat to the KPB Planning Commission. Supporting documents are
included in the packet.
Upon approval by the KPB Planning Commission, the plat will be scheduled for consideration by the Kenai City
Council. Following the City Council's decision, the preliminary plat will be reviewed in accordance with KPB
20.10.080.
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;
Petitioner Comments:
Staff comments: Review of KPB GIS Imagery indicates that the easement has not been developed.
2. A road is impossible or impractical to construct, and alternative access has been provided;
Petitioner Comments: Primary access for this land is Pey Dr.
Staff comments:
3. The surrounding area is fully developed and all planned or needed rights -of -way and utilities are
constructed;
Petitioner Comments: All surrounding parcels remain with legal access via Pey and Ninilchik Drive.
Staff comments: The parcel immediately to the north is an unsubdivided parcel of 8.79 acres.
Remaining adjacent parcels have been subdivided.
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;
Petitioner Comments: The 20-foot pedestrian easement is not necessary to provide access to any
significant public lands.
Staff comments: The City Staff Report dated September 25, 1998, identified the pedestrian easement
as intended to provide access to fishing sites along the Cook Inlet. Subsequent plats dedicated rights -
of -way, including Pey Drive and Ninilchik Drive, resulting in the pedestrian easement being
unnecessary on Lot 48, Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition (KN 2024-83).
Page 3 of 6
E3-6
5 The proposed vacation would limit opportunities for interconnectivity with adjacent parcels, whether
developed or undeveloped;
Petitioner Comments: All surrounding parcels remain with legal access via Pey and Ninilchik Drive.
Staff comments:
6. Other public access, other than general road use, exist or are feasible for the right-of-way;
Petitioner Comments:
Staff comments:
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.
Petitioner Comments:
Staff comments: Shoreline Heights Subdivision (KN 85-184) granted a 10-foot-wide utility easement
along the northern boundary. HEA has reviewed the vacation and confirmed that the northern 10-foot
utility easement must remain.
8. Any other factors that are relevant to the vacation application or the area proposed to be vacated.
Petitioner Comments: The 20-foot pedestrian easement makes developing the lot unnecessarily
restrictive. The City of Kenai has supported vacating this pedestrian easement. This portion of the
pedestrian easement burdens a residential lot.
Staff comments:
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.

RECOMMENDATION:
Based on consideration of the merits as per KPB 20.65.050(D) as outlined by Staff comments, Staff recommends

1. Consent by Kenai City Council.
2. Compliance with the requirements for Vacation plats per Chapter 20.10.080 of the KPB Code
3. Grant utility easements requested by any utility providers.

KPB 20.65.050 — Action on vacation application
H. A planning commission decision to approve a vacation is not effective without the consent of the city
council, if the vacated area to be vacated is within a city, or by the assembly in all other cases. The
council or assembly shall have 30 days from the date of the planning commission approval to either
consent to or veto the vacation. Notice of veto of the vacation shall be immediately given to the planning
commission. Failure to act on the vacation within 30 days shall be considered to be consent to the
vacation. This provision does not apply to alterations of utility easements under KPB 20.65.070 which
do not require the consent of the assembly or city council unless city code specifically provides
otherwise.
I. Upon approval of the vacation request by the planning commission and no veto by the city council or
assembly, where applicable, the applicant shall have a surveyor prepare and submit a plat including
the entire area approved for vacation in conformance with KPB 20.10.080. Only the area approved for
vacation by the assembly or council may be included on the plat. The final plat must be recorded within
Page 5 of 6
E3-8
one year of the vacation consent.
J. A planning commission decision denying a vacation application is final. No reapplication or petition
concerning the same vacation may be filed within one calendar year of the date of the final denial action
except in the case where new evidence or circumstances exist that were not available or present when
the original petition was filed.
K. An appeal of the planning commission, city council or assembly vacation action under this chapter
must be filed in the superior court in accordance with the Alaska Rules of Appellate Procedure.

The City received a preliminary plat from McLane Consulting, Inc. on behalf of the property owner
for the vacation of a 20-foot pedestrian easement located along the northern boundary of Lot 48,
Shoreline Heights 2023 Addition. The dedication of Pey Drive on the Shoreline Heights 2023
Addition plat, filed at 2024-83, Kenai Recording District, effectively severed the pedestrian
easement, rendering the eastern portion of the pedestrian easement found on subject Lot 48
unnecessary for the original intended use of access to commercial fishing beach sites.
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 vacation plat meets the preliminary plat requirements and development
requirements for the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district. Access to the subject lot is via Pey
Drive, which is a City maintained paved road. At approximately 24,437 Square feet, Lot 48
exceeds the RR minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. City water is available along Pey Drive .
City sewer is unavailable in this area; therefore, the property owner will need to install a private
on -site septic system. The septic system must meet the requirements regulatory requirements of
the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). The Public Works
Director, Fire Marshal, and Building Official have reviewed the preliminary plat and have no
comments.
Staff finds that the preliminary plat 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 replat,
subject to the listed conditions, provides utilities/access easements, provides a
satisfactory and desirable building site, and the accessible water system is subject to the
regulatory requirements of the City of Kenai Public Works Department. The on -site
wastewater system is subject to the regulatory requirements of ADEC.
2. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvement required, the preliminary plat is within
a subdivision that has dedicated rights -of --way and determined acceptable access, subject
to the listed conditions. Therefore, an installation agreement is not required.
3. Pursuant to KMC 14.24.010 Minimum lot area requirements, the preliminary plat meets
City standards for minimum lot size in the RR zoning district of 20,000 square feet.
4. 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.
