Public Notice

MSB008247 Land Classification

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Land & Resource Management (MSB) is requesting the Planning Commission’s recommendation on land classification and Assembly approval to sell two Borough-owned parcels and reserve one parcel for future emergency services facility and resource management. These three parcels are in the Big Lake area located on W. Susitna Parkway and S. Purinton Parkway. Department of Emergency Services (DES) proposes classifying a five-acre portion of a forty-acre parcel as RESERVED USE - ESF (Emergency Services Facility) for a future water fill site and emergency helicopter landing zone. The remainder thirty-five acres is proposed to be classified as RESOURCE MANAGEMENT LANDS and RESERVED USE LAND for a gravel extraction and then a future public safety building (Parcel A). Parcel B and Parcel C are currently classified as RESERVED USE - ESF. It was determined by DES and Public Works that these two lots are unsuitable for a future emergency services facility. MSB proposes classifying Parcel B and Parcel C as GENERAL PURPOSE for a future land sale.
