The Haines Borough Planning Commission denied on Feb. 14 the Chilkoot Indian Association’s appeal of $1,000 in fines for unpermitted residential construction in the Chilkoot Estates Subdivision.
The commission voted 5-2 in favor of upholding the after-the-fact fines imposed by planning and zoning technician Xi “Tracy” Cui on Jan. 10. Commissioners Andy Hedden, Danny Gonce, Robert Miller, Rob Goldberg and Donnie Turner voted for the four $250 fines; Robert Venables and Lee Heinmiller were opposed.
