Text: Kenneth asserts for the first time on appeal that the three lots in the Soldotna subdivision that were awarded to Marla contain gravel and would likely be developed into a gravel pit if sold. Kenneth argues that this would have a devastating effect on the value of the adjacent property where the house awarded to Kenneth is located. This point was not raised at trial and therefore cannot, as a general rule, be raised here to obtain a reversal. Zeman v. Lufthansa German Airlines, 699 P.2d 1274, 1280 (Alaska 1985). Kenneth does not present any reason for departure from this general rule, nor is any such reason apparent from the record. Moreover, the parties stipulated to the value of the lots and the house. Whether the stipulated value of the house was reached after consideration of the potential impact of the surrounding lots being developed as a gravel pit cannot be determined from the record. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in relying on the parties' stipulation to the value of the respective properties involved. In any event, it seems clear that Kenneth has waived the point.
