KPB Ordinance 2001-08 proposes an exchange of borough land for gravel material. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has received State Patents for subject land. No comprehensive land use plan has been developed for this area. Although some residential use is nearby, the surrounding area is largely undeveloped with no predominate land use pattern. The topography varies from ridges to low lying areas.
Soil testing indicates that subject parcel contains a significant gravel resource.
Notice was also sent for agency review. The notice consists of a cover letter, map, and list of land classification definitions. Written public comments expressed concern for the environment, gravel reserves on borough land, access issues, and opposition to KPB Ordinance 2001-08 for the exchange of public land for certain private gravel material.
