In a brief meeting Thursday evening, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved final plat review for three items.
The final review of a plat for Sea Level Seafoods was approved, creating a new subdivision lot zoned waterfront development. The 6,983 square foot parcel is a section of parking lot owned by the city, which will be leased out to the adjacent business for its ongoing use.
The request was reviewed by Ports and P&Z back in February 2016, with both commissions recommending to the Borough Assembly the tidelands disposal. Planning and Zoning had further recommended that the area be used for parking and surface storage only rather than a building, which the Assembly also approved as part of the tideland lease modifications it adopted.
Final plat review was approved for a tidelands subdivision requested by Brett Woodbury, owned by the City and Borough of Wrangell. The tidelands are at Inner Harbor, adjacent to Woodbury’s tideline property. He requested to purchase the additional tidelands in front of his property in order to reconstruct the existing float. This would allow him deeper water access, as well as square up the tidal limits of the property he owns in the area.
Finally, the commission approved review for replatting four lots into two at the lot next to the former SNO Building, requested by Charles Jenkins. In August 2015 he had submitted a plat request for the site on behalf of his mother, Christine Jenkins. Easements where public utilities had been created were widened to accommodate actual infrastructure, and a requested vacation of a storage easement was also granted.
The easement had previously been granted to Jenkins when the property was still unfilled tidelands owned by the city. After it was filled, the land had been subdivided and sold off in several parcels on the east side of Silvernail Work Road.
A variance application for a front yard setback was approved for a medium-sized shop on Lot 4B of the Kowalski-Colier Subdivision, part of the Wrangell Island West Subdivision. The request was put in by Holly and Jeremy Padilla.
