This online version and the mailed out version provides very little information to the public. It should have included what was in the 08 version. In fairness the report should define the action taken that is considered for extension.

I am inside the notification area for this area. Old Harbor Homeowners association opposes this move. We have quality nearly acre single family homes. Wal-Mart proposal would encroach on our quality of life. Maintaining the R-2 zone is important as a buffer for our community. Muldoon has excellent ample business zoning already, no more in necessary. Wal-Mart would be wise to move their focus to the new shopping center by Bartlett high. The 2020 plan asks for extensive residential development in Muldoon. It is not wise to take away residential zones. This is why the Housing Commission opposed this change. Do not keep this preplatting current because it does not support families current and future in this area.

Currently the traffic on Debarr cannot sustain traffic for the businesses we do have. Especially since there is now a 50 foot difference between two traffic lights on Debarr between Edward and Beaver Street. Walmart will increase problems on an already problematic area. I live in the area. As Debarr is a State road and the municipality is reviewing this, I suggest some coordination. Building a traffic circle would benefit, at least.

Comment Re: Case No. SS11682-1 The volume of commercial traffic on East 9th Avenue from Orca to Ingra and Gambell, and on Nelchina between 8th and 9th, related to businesses, particularly City Electric and Alaska Sales and Services, is already unacceptable for a residential neighborhood. If this replat is intended to increase the number of businesses on the west side of the airport without rerouting traffic away from the six residential blocks of 9th Avenue between Orca and Ingra, this replat is completely unacceptable. Although the municipality has permitted the addition of twenty housing units between Medfra and Orca on 9th Avenue since 2005, it shows no interest or commitment to maintaining the residential character of the neighborhood. City Electric is permitted to maintain a large lot (full of heavy equipment, tanks of unidentified liquids, and large diesel trucks) from which operations are staged each and every day of the week, at all hours of the day and night. Heavy industrial equipment and large diesel trucks rumble up and down 9th Avenue day and night. During weekday work hours, 8th ave between Medfra and Orca is packed with vehicles apparently related to Alaska Sales and Service and City Electric operations. Diesel trucks with double-layer car hauler trailers block the roads and idle on Nelchina. Vehicles speed between Orca and Medfra. Back-up warning horns, truck horns, as well as diesel truck airbrakes sound throughout the day. The residents of this neighborhood receive no support or protection from the municipality as it is. If this replat does not address and correct the conflict between the “light” industrial district created by MOA and the residents of this neighborhood, or exacerbates the problem, I am entirely opposed.
