Engineering the need to abandon or relocate the driveway directly across from 56 th
Avenue,” amending condition 5.d to change the word “median prior to recording a final
plat” to "signal prior to recording a final plat."
BOARD MEMBER LINNELL seconded.
BOARD MEMBER WALSH supported her motion, stating it is obvious from review of
the information that considerable research, engineering, and discussion has occurred with
interested parties. The main concern expressed tonight has to do with the access to
neighboring property owners, particularly at 56 th Avenue. The petitioner’s suggested
conditions respond to those concerns in a positive way.

b. S-11358-1 Ward Subdivision. Robin Ward. To subdivide one
parcel into nine lots. Located south of Kincaid
Road, East of Jodphur Street, and north of West
Kendale Circle.
Staff member SHARON FERGUSON reviewed the request for the Board
involving an undeveloped 10-acre subdivision of Tract A, Johnston being
subdivided into 9 lots. The property is located south of Kincaid Road and east of
Jodhpur Street. There are accesses from Kincaid Road and from West Dimond
Boulevard. A 50-foot right-of-way for the east half of Jodphur Street was
dedicated with the plat for Johnston Subdivision. Jodphur Street is classified as a
local road. The proposed density of 0.9 dwelling units per acre (DUA) falls below
the 3-6 DUA cited as the recommended density in the 1982 Anchorage Bowl
Comprehensive Development Plan, however, the lots are sized to accommodate
septic systems. Staff had been under the impression that wells would provide
water to the subdivision, but this afternoon Staff heard from the petitioner's
representative that in fact the owner plans to extend public water into the
subdivision. Staff recommended amending the recommendations to delete
conditions 2.d and 2.e that refer to wells and add condition 9.h “public water.”
BOARD MEMBER LINNELL asked if condition 2.e should remain as it relates
to septic systems. MS. FERGUSON agreed that condition 2.e should remain.
The public hearing was opened.
TONY HOFFMAN, representing the petitioner, thanked Staff for their work and
apologized for the confusion regarding the provision of water to this property. He stated
