The area is zoned Suburban Residential. The resulting parcel meets the development requirements for the Suburban Residential zone. The property is accessed off Wildwood Drive, a developed right -of -way. The property is served by City water and sewer. An installation agreement is not required. There is a structure located on Lot 15. The preliminary plat does not show the setbacks for the structure. However, because this plat increases the lot size, an encroachment will not be created by the platting action. This plat is also vacating a 20'foot utility easement that runs through the middle of new lot 14A. This property is served by multiple utility easements. A 10 -foot utility easement runs along the exterior property lines. The City of Kenai does not use these easements for water and sewer. The City has no objection to the vacation; however, other utility companies should be contacted to determine if there is a need to maintain the easements. Building Official: No building code issues. RECOMMENDATIONS Recommend approval with the following recommendations: • Correct plat Note 2 — Building setback is 25 feet. • Verify that other utility companies support the easement vacation.

Box 7079 Nikiski, AK 99635 398 -3966 Requested Action: Landscape /Site Plan — Impound /Storage Yard Legal Description: Lot 3, Block 1, Bridge Road Subdivision No. 2 Street Address: 1153 Bridge Access Road KPB Parcel No.: 04901303 Existing Zoning: Heavy Industrial (IH) Current Land Use: Vacant Land Use Plan: Industrial ANALYSIS General Information: The City of Kenai has received a building permit application to construct a 72 -foot x 48- foot (3,024 square feet) building on this site. KMC 14.25 requires a landscape /site plan for the project. The previous owner cleared the land. No further landscaping is planned other than cleaning up the existing vegetation along the Bridge Access Road property line which meets the requirements for the street right -of -way landscaping. The parking lot is gravel. Paving is not required in the Heavy Industrial zone. The yard will be fenced with an 8 -foot high chain length fence. RECOMMENDATIONS Because this property was cleared by the previous owner, and is located in the Heavy Industrial zone, no additional landscaping will be required. However, the natural vegetation along the Bridge Access Road must be retained. Any development or excavation in this area that disturbs the vegetation in the 10 -foot area would require replanting to meet the requirements of KMC 14.25. Plan is approved as submitted with the following requirements: 1. Existing natural vegetation must be retained. Any removal of existing vegetation will require an updated plan to provide the required 10 -foot right -of -way landscaping. 2. Snow storage must be located on the lot and cannot be placed on required parking spaces or the snow must be removed from the site. No PZ12 -14 Comments Page 2 2. Snow storage must be located on the lot and cannot be placed on required parking spaces or the snow must be removed from the site. No snow may be stored in such a manner that would block visibility for ingress and egress to the lot. 3. No dumpster location is identified on the site plan. If a dumpster is placed at the site, the structure for the dumpster must be constructed of wood or concrete. City administration may approve other materials prior to construction. 4. If construction of the project has not started within one year of the approval of the landscaping /site plan, the approval may be revoked by the Administrative Official after providing at least thirty (30) Day notice unless extended for good cause.

Rural Residential is the correct zoning for the road. There have been some special use permits granted over the years and that process seems to have worked well. Please do not try to 'improve' or 'fix' something that is not broken. We all live on Beaver Loop because of its rural nature. I have attended a few big community gatherings over the last couple of years designed to get community feedback for the purpose of designing the Comprehensive Plan. It's true that 'economic development' was always mentioned as a goal. But it is also true that at every meeting, citizens urged the city to contain the commercial areas of the city to the center of town, to try to build a more vibrant downtown, and to fill vacant buildings. Please do not rezone entire rural residential neighborhoods just to help someone who has a special interest in locating a business there. A bike trail on Beaver Loop would be a welcome addition. Especially in the spring and summer, there is almost always someone walking, running, or biking on the road, and speeders make it dangerous. The City would do well to promote the relative tranquility of a neighborhood so close to town by promoting biking and walking there, and hooking that path onto the bigger Unity Trail. Thanks for your hard work on this commission- I am sure it isn't easy. Laura Sievert
