Our Monday 7/14 meeting seemed fairly quiet. You can read the draft minutes HERE. Planning Director Dale Pernula presented a report on building permit activity that was interesting. You can view that HERE. Next Assembly meeting is August 11.
The city just received a letter from the Goldbelt Corporation asking to start negotiations on configuration of a road around the end of North Douglas. I am enthusiastically supportive of moving forward on this. Juneau has a severe shortage of land that can be used. If we are going to flourish as a community we need to develop our resources in an environmentally responsible manner. We have a starting point with the previously approved West Douglas Conceptual plan.
This is a way for Juneau to move forward together. Juneau is not pro or anti development. We are pro responsible development. The West Douglas plan provides Juneau an opportunity to show what we can do if we work together. I promise you I will work hard to move this forward.
