The Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Community Development Department proposes to acquire the adjacent lot next to the Big Lake Lions Recreation Center and classify it as “Reserved Use Lands”. The lot is known as Lot 5, Power Sports Subdivision (tax account 3608000L005), containing 2.02 acres +/-. A portion of the center’s sewer system is located on Lot 5 which is allowed under the Sewer Easement Agreement recorded March 8, 2019, at serial number 2019-004003-0 in the Palmer Recording District. Purchasing the lot would allow more space to replace the sewer system if it ever failed and provides additional parking. The purchase price is $110,000 which is fair market value based on a third-party appraisal.
