So, but I guess, will this action severely hamper any future opportunity just because at this particular time there's no interest? I guess my hesitation is that if it's not a realistic project, then the plat note doesn't matter. But if there is a remote chance, given our demographic challenges, And God only knows what the future looks like. Having that in there could be future benefit that can't be measured right now. So I guess for you, does the plat note— I guess, is it inconsequential and it's just something that in the far-off distance future, if it's needed, it's there, but doesn't have immediate consequence to your development?

Anchorage Platting Board leaves Knik Arm easement intact, citing state authority
The Anchorage Platting Board voted July 1 to approve a Port of Alaska subdivision plat without removing a floating right-of-way easement for the Knik Arm Crossing, a bridge with no funding, no place in current transportation plans, and toll projections one engineer called fraudulent. Board members concluded the municipal plat note was largely symbolic because the easement already exists on a state DOT plat that supersedes local authority.
