From the transcript
On appeal of the case, of the conditional use cases from the Southport Masters Association, the Municipal Board of Adjustment decided to remand both conditional use cases back to the Planning and Zoning Commission due to an insufficient community meeting early this year. Chugach started the project over from the beginning because of the remand and hired a different consultant to assist with a new public outreach process. Um, Chugach dropped from the project the conditional use request for the telecommunications tower, so there's no tower with this new application. Chugach replaced the 11.5-foot-tall block wall, with a 10.5-foot tall decorative fence with the blue band at the top. The landscaping plan shows the retention of mature natural vegetation surrounding the site, and new tree plantings where space allows.
