The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is accepting public comments through May 6 on a proposal to combine two lots in the Naukati Bay Subdivision West on Prince of Wales Island.

Brian and Patricia Boggs and Eagle Wings Ministries have petitioned to eliminate the boundary between Lots 12 and 13 in Block 3 of the subdivision. The replat would merge the two parcels into a single lot. The properties are located in Section 19, Township 69 South, Range 80 East, near Naukati Bay in the Ketchikan Recording District.

The department will hold a public hearing on the proposal at 11:00 a.m. on May 8 via teleconference. Residents can join by calling 1-800-315-6338 and entering access code 98627 followed by the pound sign.

Written comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on May 6 to be considered. Comments can be emailed to [email protected] or mailed to Louanne Lamas, Division of Mining, Land and Water, 550 W. 7th Ave., Suite 650, Anchorage, AK 99501. Participation through written comment or the public hearing is required to preserve appeal rights under state law.
