Planning board continues easement-vacation request for ASLS 2019-69 after notice defect
Summary
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Board continued consideration of ASLS 2019-69 to June 18, 2026 after planning staff said on-site public notice did not meet the 30-day requirement under local code.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Board on May 21, 2026 continued consideration of ASLS 2019-69, a petition to vacate an existing public-use easement, dedicate right-of-way, and split a parcel into two lots, after staff reported the applicant had not maintained the required on-site public notice.
Planning staff (Matthew) told the board that "due to an issue with public notice procedure, planning staff is requesting the proposed ASLS 2019 dash 69 to include the vacation of a portion of East Hillside Drive to be continued to the 06/18/2026 planning board meeting," citing MSP title 43 100 65 g and noting the code requires a 30-day on-site posting prior to the hearing. The parcel is described by staff as roughly 238.39 acres east of South Talkeena Spur in Assembly District 7.
A committee member moved to continue the matter to the June 18 meeting; the motion was seconded and the board granted the continuance. The chair announced the item would remain open for public testimony and deferred further action to allow the applicant to post notice for the full 30 days required by code.
Why it matters: the continuance delays any final decision on the easement vacation and lot split while preserving the public-notice and participation period required under borough code. The hearing is scheduled to return to the planning board on June 18, 2026, per the motion.
