Management Plan for Borough Municipal Land
The planning commission received the draft management plan for borough municipal land at their July 16th,2019 meeting. The plan is 93 pages so the Planning Commission has chosen to address certain municipal parcels at each meeting and then they will pass that section along to the assembly for review. The assembly has to adopt the management plan per Denali Borough Code 4.10.010.
A majority of the classification Information in the plan came from the engagement with AgNew Beck when they provided us with the document "Denali Borough Recommendations for an Improved Land Management System Report" in November 2015. In the summer of 2015 Agnew Beck and borough staff held public meetings in Anderson, Healy, McKinley Village and Cantwell to gather information on what the public would like to see parcels classified.
The Planning Commission reviewed the various areas at their meetings before passing them along to the assembly.
At the August 20th, 2019 meeting the commission reviewed:
- Sections covering Panguingue, Healy, Otto Lake and Slate Creek
- They also passed along the Tri-Valley School and Anderson School properties since those parcels were granted to the borough for a public facility.
At the Sept. 18th, 2019 meeting the commission reviewed:
- Sections covering Northern Anderson Road, Clear Airport, Swan Lake, Landfill and Antler Creek
At the Oct. 16th, 2019 meeting the commission reviewed:
- Sections covering Kobe Ag. North 40's, Brown's Court, Windy Hills, Quota Subdivision, Rex Bridge, East, & West
At the January 15th, 2020 meeting the commission reviewed:
- The sections covered will be Ferry, Montana Creek, Yanert, Yanert B, Nenana River 1 & Nenana River 2.
The assembly reviewed the management plan as a whole document with all the areas at once. The Assembly adopted the management plan July 8, 2020. The assembly amended the plan on December 14, 2022 by expanding the allowed land uses for the Tri-Valley School property on page 66.
