Planning commission approves agenda, introduces hearings for cannabis retail permit and Fuller Lake plan
Summary
The Planning Commission approved its agenda and consent agenda and introduced public hearings for a conditional use permit for Silly Bear Cannabis and the Fuller Lake lake management plan, both set for July 21, 2025.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Commission approved its agenda and consent agenda at a meeting called to order at 6:02 p.m., and introduced two items for public hearing on July 21, 2025: a conditional use permit application for a marijuana retail facility known as Silly Bear Cannabis and the Fuller Lake Lake Management Plan.
On the consent agenda the commission listed minutes for the June 25, 2025 regular meeting and an introductory quasi-judicial matter: Resolution 25-12, a conditional use permit in accordance with MSB 17.6 for operation of a marijuana retail facility known as Silly Bear Cannabis located at 8620 West Gus Court (Tax ID 2760Bravo02Lima002) in Township 17 North, Range 2 West, Section 8, Seward Meridian. The applicant is listed as Jana Walton for Silly Bear Cannabis LLC; borough staff listed Rick Benedict as the current planner for that quasi-judicial item.
The consent agenda also introduced Resolution 25-11, the Fuller Lake Lake Management Plan recommendation and an ordinance to amend MSB 17.59 (lake management plan implementation); both legislative items were placed on the calendar for public hearing on July 21, 2025. The transcript records the commission approving the consent agenda by voice with no objections.
The meeting record does not show individual roll-call votes for the approvals; agenda and consent approvals were accepted after the chair asked whether there were any objections and no objections were voiced.
With the consent agenda approved, the commission closed audience participation after a public commenter spoke against the Fuller Lake plan and then moved to director and commissioner comments. Commissioner McCabe reported visiting Port Mackenzie and recommended colleagues view the facility, and Commissioner Scoggins confirmed the July 21 public hearing for Fuller Lake.
