Agenda Item: Election of Vice-Chair
BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION:
Planning and Zoning Commissioner Bixler McClure has resigned from the Commission leaving the
Vice-Chair seat vacant. The Commission must elect a new Vice-Chair to fill the seat until the annual
election in the spring of 2015.
It is the duty of the Vice-Chair person to assume the duties of the Chair when necessary.
The Duties of the Chair are as follows:
1. Open the meeting on time and call the meeting to order;
2. Announce in proper sequence the business on the agenda;
3. Recognize members who are entitled to the floor;
4. State and put to a vote all legitimate motions that arise during the meeting:
5. Do not permit debate until there is a motion on the floor;
6. Protect the Commission from frivolous or delaying motions by refusing to recognize
them;
7. Enforce the rules regarding debate and keep order;
8. Expedite business in a way compatible with the rights of the members;
9. Decide all questions of order;
10. Respond to all inquiries of members;
11. Ensure that citizens address all remarks to the Commission; and
12. Declare the meeting adjourned.
The process for election of the Vice-Chair is as follows:
The current chair shall open nominations. Any Commissioner can nominate another commissioner as
vice-chair.
• If only one nomination is received, a motion should be made to close nominations and cast a
unanimous ballot for the chosen person. That motion will need a second and can be approved
by unanimous consent. (No role call vote is necessary).
• If more than one nomination is received, I will prepare ballots for each Commissioner to vote
for one nominee and sign his ballot. I will then collect the ballots, read the votes aloud, and
announce the prevailing nominee. A motion is then in order for someone to elect the nominee
as vice-chairperson. A second is needed and the motion can be approved by unanimous consent
of the commission.

Agenda Item: Preliminary Plat Review of Lots 14 — 16, Block 36,
Original Townsite of Seward, Eagleton Replat
BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for the Commission's review and recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Planning Commission is a preliminary plat submitted by land surveyor Russell Oswald,
representing property owners Matt and Kelly Eagleton. This replat will combine three (3)
originally platted lots, Lots 14, 15 and 16, Block 36, Original Townsite of Seward, into one lot to
be known as Lot 14A. The proposed replat vacates two interior lot lines creating a single parcel
of 7,593 square feet.
In accordance with Borough requirements, the City must review and comment on a platting
action before submittal to the Borough for final approval.
Zoning: The lots are currently zoned Urban Residential (UR) -- which is consistent with the
Land Use Plan. SCC 15.05.025 (b) (5) Urban residential district(UR). Intended to allow an area
of higher density mixed residential uses from detached single-family housing to multi-family
apartments in conjunction with compatible low impact professional office uses in the area
surrounding the downtown business district.
The parcels surrounding this replat are also within the Urban Residential Zoning District and are
developed with single or multi-family structures.
Utilities: The property is served by existing public utilities and maintained streets; therefore a
subdivision agreement is not required. There are appropriate fire hydrants within an approved
distance.
Size: Lot 14A will contain 7,593 square feet. The new lot will meet the requirement for
minimum lot width and buildable lot size for the Urban Residential District.
Existing Use: The existing single family home was constructed in approximately 1940 and was
built over an existing interior lot line. The structure encroaches into the north side yard setback,
it is a legal non-conforming structure, meaning it was built before current zoning requirements
and is allowed to remain.
6
Flood Zone: The property is not within a FEMA mapped Flood Hazard Zone.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST: Yes No N/A
1. Comprehensive Plan (2020): X
2. Strategic Plan (1999): X
City Code:
16.01.015. - Conditions to plat approval
3. (f)A plat submitted to create a single parcel through the vacation of X
interior lot lines shall be exempt from subsection(c), public posting, (d),
proof of posting and(e), notification of neighboring property owners.
Staff Comments
City department heads have reviewed this preliminary replat, the only comment was from the
electric department requesting a utility easement on west property line to cover existing utilities.
Staff supports the following condition:
1. Continue to work with the City Electric Department to provide the needed utility
easement on the West property line.
RECOMMENDATION:
Commission approve Resolution 2014-10 recommending Kenai Peninsula Borough approval of
the preliminary replat of Lots 14-16, Block 36, Original Townsite of Seward, Eagleton Replat,
creating one lot to be known as Lot 14A, located at 611 Sixth Avenue, subject to conditions
