Kenai Peninsula planners to weigh road and bridge over salmon creek in Anchor Point

A proposed road and bridge in Anchor Point would sit within the 50-foot Habitat Protection District of an anadromous creek. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission will decide July 20 whether to grant the conditional use permit required for the work to proceed.

The applicant, identified in borough records only as Cole, is seeking permission to build at 67515 Silver Avenue. The creek is classified as anadromous, meaning it supports salmon and other migratory fish. Borough code requires a conditional use permit before any work can proceed within the 50-foot buffer protecting those waterways.

The nine-member commission will take up the permit as part of a broader agenda that also includes setback encroachment permits, a plat waiver request, and several right-of-way vacations. The hearing is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Betty J. Glick Assembly Chambers in Soldotna. Remote participation is available through Zoom, Meeting ID 907 714 2200. Appeals must be filed with the Borough Clerk within 15 days of the notice of decision.
