Staff reported the proposal would subdivide a single 2.274-acre parcel into two lots sized about 0.918 acres and 1.356 acres. Staff noted structures on the property, including one near the southern boundary that staff described as shown on the survey with “no encroachment” when measured from pin-to-pin, and another structure on the east side that appears to intrude into the 20-foot building setback by approximately 1.5 feet. Staff recommended the surveyor apply for a building-setback encroachment permit to resolve that issue before final plat approval.

The applicant requested an exception to KPB 20.40 (wastewater disposal reporting). Staff reviewed the exception request, recommended approval and asked the committee to select findings supporting the standards before granting the exception. The committee voted to grant the exception and to grant preliminary approval, both votes unanimous.

What the committee approved:
- Exception to KPB 20.40 (wastewater disposal report requirement) — vote: unanimous yes.
- Preliminary approval of Homewood Subdivision 2025 Replat (KPB file 2025-130) contingent on compliance with staff recommendations, including resolution of the building-setback encroachment permit for the structure encroaching approximately 1.5 feet into the setback.

During public comment the property owners explained they were subdividing the parcel because tenants who had rented the property for almost two years are interested in purchasing; the owners said the division will facilitate a sale and reduce their need to downsize. No other public comment was offered.

Staff recommended placing a note on the final plat indicating any exception granted and the meeting date. The committee passed both motions and then moved to adjourn.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kenai Peninsula Borough - Plat Committee on 2025-09-22 6:30 PM - Zoom Meeting ID: 907 714 2200","oneSentenceSummary","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee approved preliminary subdivision of a 2.274-acre parcel into two lots and granted an exception to the borough wastewater-disposal review requirement; approval was unanimous.","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},6492837,"Plat committee grants preliminary approval and street-width exception for Highlands Bluff Subdivision, Quint Addition (KPB file 2025-120)",363,362000,725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5811834-c86ba4afed276970225561d446f5e9a8&start=362&end=725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5811834-c86ba4afed276970225561d446f5e9a8/thumbnail_362000.jpg","/articles/6492837/Kenai-Peninsula-Borough/Alaska/Plat-committee-grants-preliminary-approval-and-street-width-exception-for-Highlands-Bluff-Subdivision-Quint-Addition-KPB-file-2025-120","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6492837-6045d2cda67fc1f54afe9891c9ffc6af/orig.mp4?Expires=1770500538&Signature=ZMNQSaQjQKCzYoE3VBrWq-IaX0WM8mkXuExOOQSavWR36qGpOusmT9qvkzc1oZKOR~0AVtNRBb3TOEZEy4oWwBvf3cVMdlhefxHYKWhHMz35v0IEO6xyXTm7t1t6edfvPOg4JB7OgT4iR8Bi6p8SN7rhVgEdN1FUDMv0QqDag9-3ynifaTg96-NJpF2DXgQ9c5xYqVAhCf-B6y96Ee8jmhPnAF3Y8~6NZo5v7NI4dglTUDVcbWGdf66P-XtOjYSoYdzkBk697MtYTzqk8LisTOr4tPGOsvcCq0pSKAIjBNyfyfevXD7PKKpMcdaxiUR4SFrP-3u8TN6mDWJwccVGVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee on Sept. 22, 2025, granted preliminary approval to Highlands Bluff Subdivision, Quint Addition (KPB file 2025-120), and separately approved the petitioner’s request for an exception to borough street-width requirements.

The proposed plat combines three existing lots into one lot of 2.887 acres and finalizes the vacation of Eastman (as shown on the plat). Legal access to the lot is described as off Poplop Drive from Cohort Loop Road near Milepost 3. Poplop Drive is currently a 50-foot right of way; the borough’s minimum right-of-way width for a street is 60 feet. The petitioner requested an exception to the referenced borough standard for street width to allow Pavlov Drive to remain at 50 feet without dedicating an additional 10 feet.

Staff reviewed the exception request and recommended granting approval, and recommended that any exception granted be noted on the final plat with the meeting date. After staff presentation, Jason Young, representing Edge Surveys and the petitioner, stated, “I’m here on behalf of Edge Surveys and the petitioner to answer any questions on the plat itself or the exception requested.” No members of the public testified.

The committee voted separately on the exception and the preliminary approval. Roll-call votes recorded as yes from Commissioners England, Morgan, Venuti, Whitney and Gillum resulted in both the exception and the preliminary approval passing unanimously.

What the committee approved:
- Exception to KPB street-width requirement (KPB 20.30.120 — minimum right-of-way width) to allow Pavlov Drive to remain at a 50-foot right of way; vote: unanimous yes.
- Preliminary approval of Highlands Bluff Subdivision, Quint Addition (KPB file 2025-120) based on staff recommendations and compliance with borough code; vote: unanimous yes.

Staff asked the committee to select applicable findings supporting the exception and to tie those findings to the applicable standards before granting the exception; the committee made those findings in support of the exception during the motion. Staff also recommended that the final plat include a note indicating any exception granted and the date of the plat committee meeting.

The committee moved promptly to the next agenda item after the approvals.","The Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee granted preliminary approval and an exception to borough street-width requirements for Highlands Bluff Subdivision, Quint Addition (KPB file 2025-120).
