Subdivision plats, the vacation of rights-of-way, utility easements and other related land use processes are handled by the Platting staff.
Plat Note Removal Request
A written request to remove a plat note restriction must be submitted to the Planning Department. The request must contain a full legal description (subdivision name, lot, and block number). All owners of the lot must sign the request.
Planning staff will review the submittal for completeness and schedule the request for Planning Commission review for the next available meeting. Scheduling this request is dependent on the meeting cut-off schedule and providing reasonable notice to the subdivision owners, applicable agencies, and/or interested parties.
All owners within the subdivision will be notified of the proposed plat note restriction removal.
If the Planning Commission approves removal of the plat note restriction, the Planning Department will file a resolution granting the request with the appropriate District Recorder.
The applicant(s) is/are responsible for submitting the application and recording fees to the Planning Department.
The State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources sets the recording fee for the resolution. The check for the recording fee is to be made payable to the Alaska State Department of Natural Resources.
