Planner Morgan Aldridge reported the project was previously permitted by the borough in 2023 but was not completed before that permit expired. The current application requests placement of approximately 1,000 cubic yards of riprap within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District under the railroad line. Staff mailed notice to property owners within 300 feet and said no public comments were received. The Moose Pass Advisory Planning Commission reviewed the project on Sept. 4 and unanimously recommended approval; those minutes were included in the desk packet.

Staff found the proposal met the five general standards of KPB 21.18 and recommended approval subject to the conditions in Resolution 2025-20. A commissioner moved to adopt the resolution; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call: Commissioner Eppenheimer — yes; Commissioner Whitney — yes; Commissioner England — yes; Commissioner Vikes — yes; Commissioner Slaughter — yes; Commissioner Venuti — yes; Commissioner Brantley — yes.

The permit authorizes placement of the stated volume of riprap as described in the staff materials and the resolution; the transcript records the project description and the APC recommendation but does not include the full text of the resolution’s conditions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kenai Peninsula Borough - Planning Commission on 2025-09-08 7:30 PM - Zoom Meeting ID: 907 714 2200","oneSentenceSummary","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit to place approximately 1,000 cubic yards of riprap along the Snow River beneath the railroad to stabilize the bank, reinstating a previously permitted but expired project, subject to conditions in Resolution 2025-20.","taxTitle","Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska","taxId",27490,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6475395,"Planning commission grants conditional use permit for Kenai Golf Course bridge replacement",244,627000,871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5734419-9028ecdd7ecf7ffc27d7023986e0a6af&start=627&end=871","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5734419-9028ecdd7ecf7ffc27d7023986e0a6af/thumbnail_627000.jpg","/articles/6475395/Kenai-Peninsula-Borough/Alaska/Planning-commission-grants-conditional-use-permit-for-Kenai-Golf-Course-bridge-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475395-68e0388be475d608049e43a246008c45/orig.mp4?Expires=1770514002&Signature=fwKRfcWhivKyRwlihqwIgN5qij0XuurNIqfAEq997A4lOBJDsvX91nc0zCGonGAS4okhpXUU1dvCTpm2M7YLS0b6aTmVRLvOMt9pB0XnUIY0mJEGdo5550OM7evYv2jT8Nm1l-zFLM05AYSgAGr~2m-UJST4oSvEN0KG3PreUxVALJNT3MqgpB0dt0iR2ME0VOA~Jvaj7U7QMszLC-iNh61Y1LJn44CDWVaInT8Vu-5CF4Qb3I3oIoLMQ4alGAoMFPeSXlVFvR-aE5S16vYCbkYlhAvRu5lkR-71wJQOghniq-oBa137pViEHXne0S7VuRaLMCv1IllzopzhdQJKyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission on Sept. 8, 2025, voted unanimously to adopt Planning Commission Resolution 2025-19, granting a conditional use permit to replace a failing bridge at the Kenai Golf Course and to revegetate the vacated riparian area, staff said.

Morgan Aldridge, planner at the River Center, told the commission the existing 24-foot-wide bridge is failing and the applicant proposes to replace it with an 8-foot-wide prefabricated metal truss bridge placed on four engineered piles; the project includes revegetation of riparian habitat within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District. Staff sent notice to 46 property owners within 300 feet and reported no public comments; the City of Kenai provided emails that were included in the desk packet. Staff found the project met the five general standards of KPB 21.18 and recommended approval, subject to conditions listed in Resolution 2025-19.

A representative of KNC Golf, identifying the corporation’s mailing address as 275 South Cobuck Street, Soldotna, said the contractor is lined up and estimated the bridge removal and replacement would take about two days. The representative asked that the record reflect the corporation’s mailing address; the staff packet listed the city of Kenai mailing address for the land owner.

A commissioner moved to adopt Resolution 2025-19 granting the conditional use permit pursuant to KPB 21.18 for replacement of a bridge within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District of the subject creek (parcel identifier provided in the resolution). The motion was seconded and passed by roll call: Commissioner Eppenheimer — yes; Commissioner Whitney — yes; Commissioner England — yes; Commissioner Vikes — yes; Commissioner Slaughter — yes; Commissioner Venuti — yes; Commissioner Brantley — yes.

The commission’s approval authorizes the bridge replacement and riparian revegetation as described in staff materials and Resolution 2025-19 and is subject to the conditions in that resolution.","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit to replace a failing bridge at the Kenai Golf Course with a narrower prefabricated structure and restore riparian vegetation, subject to resolution 2025-19 conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6475400,"Planning commission approves vacation of 10-foot utility easement in Lake Hill Subdivision",178,435000,613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5734419-9028ecdd7ecf7ffc27d7023986e0a6af&start=435&end=613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5734419-9028ecdd7ecf7ffc27d7023986e0a6af/thumbnail_435000.jpg","/articles/6475400/Kenai-Peninsula-Borough/Alaska/Planning-commission-approves-vacation-of-10-foot-utility-easement-in-Lake-Hill-Subdivision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475400-80c59362f28d3d85864fbfc486613974/orig.mp4?Expires=1770514002&Signature=Oka730DFHpKqpxt1daK6jj3-fVTzLslD77Wvxpy856MXLbWiuoj96wdE-6UNYcy6Jl6wF60nFEZO2WoM7xepLRZhdeAMwDkBRAIGmyUMxwcCqAs~tqOqKtzHaHzlCUZzZv5m0tqBrMDh4X-Oo~d~bqitCjiXLVR5nzQiesK~JbRajbYslW1x1Vcp5t5Kv1a7Yy9M0wisLeLvDrEvCUMJhm4JZtWvX1uK8BBqvuAvK61G-RA3RB1cFMrBuP20gM7xk~czaZXCpockO~KlqEHltu04S9Aec~mm~qhB4cF6oekPier3itPky~fg8Mg4F7tQmkhqlWUfQlr6IZV37R4vOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission on Sept. 8, 2025, voted unanimously to grant a petition to vacate a 10-foot utility easement along interior lot lines shown on the Lake Hill Subdivision Part 3 plat (KN 84265), the commission chair said.

Staff told the commission the petitioner requests vacation of the 10-foot utility easement recorded by plat 80-4-25265 in the K-9 Recording District and that if approved the vacation would be finalized by the Christianson Addition. Staff recommended approval based on its findings and listed two conditions in the staff report.

Ronnie Boyko of Edge Survey and Design, speaking for the applicant in place of Jason Young, said he was available to answer questions. No public comments or objections were recorded during the hearing and staff reported no opposition from utility companies that received notice.

A commissioner moved to grant the vacation “as petition” under KPB 20.65.060(d), subject to the two conditions in the staff report; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call. The record shows the following votes: Commissioner Eppenheimer — yes; Commissioner Whitney — yes; Commissioner England — yes; Commissioner Vikes — yes; Commissioner Slaughter — yes; Commissioner Venuti — yes; Commissioner Brantley — yes. The motion passed.

The staff report said the proposed plat will combine lots referenced in the staff paperwork and remove the common lot line(s); the report did not include further parcel-specific details in the public hearing transcript. Final platization steps will be completed through the Christianson Addition process and the plat committee will review related plats at the Sept. 22, 2025, meeting.

The commission’s approval applies only to the easement vacation described in the staff report and is conditioned on the two items listed in that report.","On Sept. 8, 2025, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission unanimously approved a petition to vacate a 10-foot utility easement along interior lot lines recorded on the Lake Hill Subdivision Part 3 plat, subject to two staff conditions.","actionData","errors"]
