Nicolai Subdivision Preliminary Plat: Nick Poppin Due to the position of the existing structure on Lot 4 of this subdivision, Mr. Poppin requested a waiver of the minimum lot size requirement to allow a more workable lot configuration. He stated that his plans for lots 3 and 5 were not definite at this time. Mr. Hamrick asked if lots 3, 4 and 5 could be divided into two lots instead of three. Mr. Poppin stated that it would be more feasible to divide these lots into three parcels. Chairman Glick asked the recommendations of the Administration. Mrs. Daisy stated the Administration had no objections, but that in approving this plat, the Commission would be setting a precedent for subdividing lots below the minimum lot size. MOTION: Mr. Malston moved, seconded by Mr. Evans, that the Commission recommend to the Borough Planning Zoning Commission approval of the preliminary plat of Nicolai Subdivision as submitted. Motion failed by roll call vote. Voting yes: Evans and Malston. Voting No: Heus, Hamrick, Glick and Raymond. Mr. Heus stated that he did not wish to approve this plat because the lot sizes were too small and the Commission must consider overall zoning. Mr. Hamrick stated that the issuance of a waiver should be a last resort and that the developer had at least two choices in subdividing these lots to adhere to the zoning ordinance. Mr. Evans asked how the Ordinance read pertaining to decreasing the size of lot 4, which already has a structure on it, and adding footage to lots 3 and S. Mrs. Daisy stated that this would have to be researched. Mr. Poppin stated that lots 4 and 5 could be combined to make one lot, but he feels that 7,200 square feet is too large of a lot for an urban residential zone. He feels that when the circumstances warrant, minimum lot size should be waived. Mr. Poppin stated that the Kenai Advisory Commission approved this plat in 1974 and he felt that it should not have to be brought before them again. The Commission stated that the plat had been approved by them in 1974, but had never gone before the Borough. Therefore, the plat was never accepted. Since that time, the zoning ordinance has changed and since the plat is being resubmitted at this time, it must adhere to the present zoning.
