The Fairbanks North Star Borough hearing officer approved SD 019-25, Frostbite Subdivision, on July 3, 2025, to divide Track G1 Grimy Farm Subdivision, first edition, into two lots of approximately 4.92 acres and 1.08 acres, subject to three conditions and findings of fact.

Zach Lee, the borough staff contact, told the hearing that the application qualifies as a quick plat because it creates four or fewer lots and meets local access standards. Lee said the parcels have access from Green Road and Frostbite Court and that a borough engineer inspected Green Road on May 1, 2025, determining it was constructed to its intersection with Frostbite Court. Lee also said a corner‑rounding requirement in Title 17 was waived by FNSB Public Works because a 100‑foot section line easement runs along Green Road.

An unnamed applicant representative said, “Staff report hit everything right on the head. I don't have anything else to add.” After adopting staff findings A through E and imposing three conditions, Hearing Officer Melissa Kellner said, “This plat is approved with 3 conditions,” and explained that a final plat must be prepared by a registered land surveyor and submitted to the Community Planning Department within 24 months or the preliminary approval will become void. Kellner also noted that appeals must be filed in writing with the Borough Clerk's Office within 10 working days.

Staff displayed three standard conditions; Lee identified one outstanding technical correction: the FEMA firm panel number must be corrected and GVA must complete a final review before recording. The record shows the borough relied on its Title 17 access standards in making the determination and that the FNSB Public Works office granted the corner‑rounding waiver due to the section line easement.

The decision is administrative and appealable; the hearing officer did not receive public testimony on this item and no motion, second, or roll‑call vote was recorded during the hearing. The approval was entered by the hearing officer under the adopted staff report and findings of fact.
