Salamatof

Three members of a Kenai family are asking the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission to vacate part of Windchime Street in the Salamatof area. The commission holds a public hearing on the request Monday, Nov. 16.

Approval would end the public right-of-way along that stretch. Shawn, Laura and Dominic Denny filed the petition Oct. 9. According to the commission agenda, it covers the 33-foot eastern portion of Windchime Street south of a proposed cul-de-sac and next to Government Lot 47. The right-of-way was granted by a recorded document rather than shown as a platted road.

In the public hearing notice, the Dennys say the strip sits between two family-owned lots, both already developed, and has not been developed and is not being used. They say Sam Street and Empress Avenue offer other access to the area.
