Planning board approves vacation of 60‑foot public easement and March Air subdivision plat
Summary
The board approved vacating a recorded 60‑foot public‑use easement and a related subdivision plat that realigns Highland Road; staff found conditions met and petitioner corrected clerical page references in the staff report.
The Anchorage Municipality Planning Board voted July 1 to vacate a recorded 60‑foot public‑use easement and to approve a related subdivision plat for a tract near Highland Road (the "March Air" matter). Staff told the board that the vacation would allow dedication of a replacement 60‑foot right-of-way aligned with the existing Highland Road construction and would not harm traffic circulation; staff recommended approval after finding the vacation and plat met review criteria.
Petitioner's representative Jeremy Hurst identified a clerical error in staff report page citations and supplied corrected plan pages to staff during the hearing. No members of the public testified on this item.
The board found that the existing recorded public‑use easement did not correspond to the current road alignment and that dedicating a replacement right‑of‑way better preserves access. The board moved and approved the vacation (recorded in Book 15.75, pp. 8.34–8.35, as stated in the staff report) and then approved the related plat for 24 months subject to staff conditions.
A board member noted the parcel is an original homestead and the subdivision will allow heirs to divide the parcel. The board recorded no roll‑call vote tally in the public transcript; the chair announced that the motions passed.
