RESOLUTION NO. 2007-62
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, DESIGNATING
THAT LOT 1-A SPRUCEWOOD GLEN SUBDIVISION NUMBER TWO BE REPLATTED
AND THAT A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY IN THAT LOT BE DESIGNATED AS A
BUFFER.
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai is the owner of property currently known as Lot 1-A
Sprucewood Glen Subdivision Number Two (Lot 1-A); and,
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai has owned Lot 1-A and the adjacent parcel (the Parcel) on
the Kenai Spur Highway between Beaver Loop Road (now Bridge Access Road) and
First Avenue South (now Walker Lane) since 1963; and,
WHEREAS, in 1976 the Advisory Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Kenai
(the Advisory Commission) in Resolution 76-3 recommended that the Parcel be rezoned
from suburban residential to general commercial to reflect the need for commercial
property and that the property was not well suited for residential development; and,
WHEREAS, during the process of rezoning the property the Advisory Commission
recognized the need to create a buffer for the private residential property nearby in
order to properly develop the city owned property commercially; and,
WHEREAS, creation of the buffer strip was an integral part of the commercial
development of the Parcel; and,
WHEREAS, the following the property being rezoned general commercial, the property
was replatted in 1978; and,
WHEREAS, Plat Number 78-106 listed a 120' wide buffer strip on property then known
as Lot 1, Spur Division Number One and now known as Lot 1-A Spur Subdivision
Number Two; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of the buffer was to screen the new commercial subdivision
from the residential area east of what was then First Avenue South (now Walker Lane);
and,
WHEREAS, after being replatted, the Parcel was commercially developed including a
gas station, bowling alley, grocery store, fast food restaurant, office building and a
three story hotel in construction; and,
WHEREAS, after the property was rezoned, it was replatted in 1984 (Plat Number 84-
305); and,

WHEREAS, Plat Number 84-305 removed the buffer zone on Lot 1-A that had been
included in the previous plat; and,
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Kenai finds that the west side of Walker Lane is
not suitable for residential development; and,
WHEREAS, Council of the City of Kenai finds that a buffer is needed between the
commercial development on the Parcel and the residential development on the east
side of Walker Lane; and,
WHEREAS, on October 3, 2007 the Council of the City of Kenai authorized the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with Homer Electric Authority (HEA) whereby: 1)
the City would grant HEA atwenty-foot (20~ utility easement along the entire western
boundary of Lot 1-A; 2) the City would clear and grub the easement area at its cost; 3)
HEA would agree to retire the existing 24,900 volt overhead transmission main and
vacate its sixty-foot easement along the eastern boundary of Lot 1-A within five years
at no cost to the City; 4) that Aspen Hotel has agreed to compensate Alaska
Communications System (ACS) to move its underground communication cable from the
existing sixty-foot (60') easement to the proposed twenty-foot (20') easement; and,
WHEREAS, the Airport Commission discussed this issue, unanimously passing a
resolution favoring the re-establishment of a platted buffer strip on Lot B, and
maintaining Lot A in its present condition until such time a commercially viable
proposal for development (lease/sale) was accepted by the City.
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Kenai finds it is in the best interest of the City of
Kenai to replat Lot 1-A as shown on Attachment "A" reestablish Lot B as a buffer
between the commercial development on the Parcel and the residential area on the
eastern side of Walker Lane, and maintain Lot A in its present condition until a
proposal for development is accepted by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that the Council of the City of Kenai authorizes the City Manager to proceed
with replatting Lot 1-A, Sprucewood Glen Subdivision Number Two, Kenai, Alaska as
