5 February 7, 2018 Page 5 of 6 CHAIR WALKER opened the hearing to public testimony. There was no public testimony. There was no rebuttal testimony. CHAIR WALKER closed the public hearing. BOARD MEMBER CROSS moved in Case S12393 to approve the plat for 24 months, subject to Conditions 1 through 7 and 8(a through e). BOARD MEMBER PORTER seconded. BOARD MEMBER CROSS intends to support this motion. It has been very well thought out and the majority of the questions have been answered. There were no public comments, but the agency comments centered on drainage, wildlife, and easement access, which have all been resolved in Department Recommendations 1 through 8. This stands to reason why there was no public testimony. BOARD MEMBER YOUNG added that an Affidavit of Posting is shown on page 60 of the staff packet with pictures on pages 61 through 63, which was done appropriately. This Board found that the preliminary plat appears to generally conform with the goals and policies of the UMED District Plan and the Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan. The Municipal Tudor Road complex is identified as a Town Center per the Anchorage 2040 Land Use Plan. He pointed out on page 12 of the staff packet that the proposed lots meet the minimum lot size and width as required by the PLI and the B-3 zoning districts. CHAIR WALKER noted that this plan does promote public health, safety and welfare. It does seem to mitigate the incompatible uses in the area and there is an adequate plan to deal with the traffic issues. RECUSED: Young, Walker, Eneix, Porter, Cross, Seward, Ritz, Lipson Weltzin 2.
