Platting Officer Tyler Young joins host Mike Chmielewski to discuss the ins and outs of the Mat-Su Borough’s Planning and Platting Department. Discover exactly what ‘platting’ is.
The Platting Division oversees platting services and the subdivision of land within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Division staff assist the public in understanding and complying with the subdivision requirements specified by state and borough regulations. This involves the review of proposals to subdivide land; dedicate public use easements; vacate public rights-of-way, vacation of section line easements, and right-of-way acquisitions. Staff works with the State of Alaska Recorders Office to facilitate recording of subdivision plats and resolutions. The State provides copies of recorded subdivision plats and file information to the public upon request. All proposed actions that require a public hearing are acted upon by the Platting Authority, either the Platting Board or, in the case of abbreviated plats, the Platting Officer. The Platting office is located on the second floor of the Borough Building in Palmer.
