2 UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA FACILITIES AND LAND MANAGEMENT 1815 Bragaw Street, Suite 101, Anchorage, Alaska Phone: (907) Fax: (907) UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA DEVELOPMENT PLAN The University of Alaska is a land grant university that received land from the Federal Government under Acts of Congress in 1915 and The purpose of these grants were to provide land and resources for educational and research activities and to generate income to help support the University. The primary role of UA Facilities and Land Management is to convert the University s grant land assets to investible income to support the University s educational mission and to prudently manage land dedicated for educational purposes consistent with campus goals and objectives. In addition, UA Facilities and Land Management is responsible for managing, developing and disposing of non-trust land assets. These lands include purchased and donated properties. University real estate and resource development projects create jobs, increase the tax base of local communities, make land available for private ownership and generate millions of dollars each year for the benefit of the University. The net revenues from the sale, lease, development, and other income generated from trust lands are deposited into the University s Land-Grant Endowment Trust Fund ( LGTF ). This fund, the University s permanent endowment, is managed by the University of Alaska Foundation Trustees. The fund is managed under total return endowment practices. After inflation proofing, distributions from the LGTF are used to fund University programs (primarily the UA Scholars Program). The UA Scholars Program awards an $11,000 scholarship to the top 10 percent of the graduates from every Alaska high school each year. This program is the cornerstone of the University s effort to educate and retain in the state Alaska s brightest graduating high school seniors. The program has been very successful and currently has over 1,800 participants, many of whom would have gone out of state or been unable to afford higher education. The University s development projects are subject to all local, state and Federal Government regulations including the Alaska Forest Practices Act, ADEC water & wastewater regulations, wetlands regulations, Coastal Management Plans, and local zoning, platting ordinances and public hearing requirements. In addition, UA Facilities and Land Management commonly holds local public workshops to address development issues such as local impacts, densities, lot sizes, road maintenance, covenants, building setbacks, trail systems and architectural standards. To ensure public involvement in the University s Development Plans, UA Facilities and Land Management is seeking public comment regarding the attached proposed development project. It is the sole responsibility of any interested party to ensure that they have received any amendments to this Development Plan.
