Lucas Goddard, Baranof Island Housing Authority, stated the purpose is to develop a residential subdivision in Sitka, Alaska to increase the supply of buildable housing lots in response to documented local housing shortages. The project will provide residential lots, internal access roads, and utility infrastructure necessary to support housing development within the City and Borough of Sitka. PROPOSED WORK The applicant is proposing to construct a 47 lot subdivision by constructing roads and utility infrastructure and a laydown yard to facilitate the construction. Specifically, the work would include the placement of 82,938 cubic yards of clean fill material into 6.5 acres of waters of the U.S. consisting of wetlands. Site preparation would commence with clearing, grubbing, and the excavation of the entirety of the organic overburden layer within the project footprint. In some areas a geotextile fabric would be used to “float” the road section over soft subgrade. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plans (sheets 1-7), dated March 2026.
