During the meeting, two important matters were discussed - a final plat review for Tlingit Haida Regional Housing Authority and a flood zone exception for Echo Ranch Bible Camp. The final plat review (SMF2026 0001) was requested by THRHA for the first phase of single-family development in a D18 zone. The second matter (FZE2026 0001) involved an applicant's request for a Flood Zone Exception in order to construct a gymnasium/agricultural structure at Echo Ranch Bible Camp in an unnumbered Velocity (V) Zone.
