Site Control
1. Site Control
The Grantee must provide evidence of site control for a project that involves any use of land, including but not
limited to, construction, renovation, utility projects, fuel storage, roads, and trails.
As a minimum requirement, the Grantee should obtain a "sufficient interest" that allows the Grantee the right
to use and occupy the site for the expected useful life of the building, structure or other improvement.
Generally, the interest obtained should be for at least 20 years. A sufficient interest depends upon the nature of
the project and the land status of the site. Site control options are identified in Section 2.
For a project planned on land that is controlled by a public agency, the Grantee must obtain whatever
authorization for use that is required by the public agency.
2. Site Control Options
Below are some examples of documents that may be used to satisfy site control requirements for various
community facilities/projects. The terms and conditions contained in each document must be examined to
determine adequacy for a specific project.

State Fire Marshal Review
The Plan Review Process
Construction, repair, remodel, addition, or change of occupancy of any building/structure, or installation or change
of fuel tanks must be approved by the State Fire Marshal's Office before ANY work is started.
Residential housing that is three -plea or smaller is exempt from this requirement.
Exception: The following jurisdictions have accepted a deferral for total code enforcement and plans should be
submitted directly to the city: Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, Kenai, Seward, Kodiak, Sitka, and Soldoma
Plans and specifications regarding the location of the building or structure on the property, area, height, number of
stories, occupancy, type of construction, interior finish, exit facilities, electrical systems, mechanical systems, fuel
storage tanks and their appurtenances, automatic fire -extinguishing systems, and fire alarm systems must be
submitted by the owner or owner's representative to the State Fire Marshal for examination and approval. This
review does not address structural considerations or accessibility requirements. Mechanical and electrical review is
limited to that which is necessary to confirm compliance with fire and life safety requirements.
A copy of the plan review approval certificate must be posted as required in 13 AAC 55.100(b). It is prohibited to
occupy a building for which plans have not been examined and approved.
If any work for which a plan review and approval is required has been started without first obtaining plan review
and approval, an additional special processing plan review fee of $100 is charged for the first violation. The special
processing plan review fee for a subsequent violation by the same person is an additional charge equal to the
amount of the standard plan review fee for the project.
