Matanuska-Susitna Borough

Boards > Waterbody Setback Advisory Board




The Waterbody Setback Advisory Board was created in August of 2023 by Ordinance 23-079, and expired on Sept 18, 2024. It was empowered to review and recommend any changes to Borough code relating to waterbody setbacks and related issues. 

These related issues should include variances/non-conformities, how to deal with structures built in violation of the 1973 and 1987 ordinances, possible remedies for structures in violation, and any other issues the Board believes are pertinent.  To the extent possible, the WSAB shall identify possible solutions, and identify resources needed to implement and enforce those solutions.

The Assembly has scheduled a Joint meeting with the Waterbody Setback Advisory Board on May 1, 2025 at 4pm in the Matsu Borough Assembly Chambers.

Please check the Public Meetings schedule for specific meeting information.
