The Matanuska‑Susitna Borough Assembly discussed whether to implement a 48‑hour amnesty/reset for existing shoreline violations and proposed amending land‑use permits to cover buildings adjacent to lakes; no ordinance or vote was adopted during the meeting.

At its Aug. 17 meeting the commission discussed LaMarinda pre‑approved ADU prototypes, approved Tilden Preparatory School's land‑use permit and approved a hillside home at 1716 Release Valley Road with conditions; both approvals carry appeal periods and set specific follow‑up tasks for staff and applicants.

The board approved conditional use permits for a Maple Lake septic tie, expanded operations and rail spur at Lake Agassy Bean, and a 355‑ft telecom tower (EAW and CUP), authorized a MnDOT temporary easement, approved tax abatements and a bridge grant resolution, and adopted a 2% pay‑grid lift and regrades estimated to cost about $249k–$262k in year one.

Public hearing supports Cedar Bluffs LLC's housing project with no objections raised.

The Lunenburg County Board on July 10 approved two conditional use permits — for an online auto-sales operation and a soil-borrow area — and unanimously authorized initial steps to consider leasing 20–25 acres of jointly-owned airport land for a potential community solar project, subject to further study and public input.
