Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Commission (CLAPC)

Changes in Communication

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is trying to coordinate all advisory planning commission (APC) communications across the Peninsula and so have decided to centralize it. There is now a new way to contact the Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Commission. If you’d like to email the commission go to the following link: https://www.kpb.us/planning-dept/planning-commissions/ cooper-landing-apc. In the box on the right-hand side of the page titled, “Commissioner Information” scroll to the bottom and select the link, “Contact the Cooper Landing APC.” It will take you to a window where you may write your email to CLAPC. Please do not use the old CLAPC email address any longer. Please do not use personal email addresses for CLAPC commissioners.

KPB will next provide a means to reach CLAPC via regular USPS mail through a central borough means. That has not been worked out quite yet so please stand by for more information in regards to regular mail contact with the CLAPC. Our post office box here in Cooper Landing will be active only until March 31st, 2023. After that, Kenai Peninsula Borough will receive and distribute USPS mail to all APCs. More on that as soon as the method is established.

The next CLAPC meeting will be April 5, 2023. At the April 5th meeting we expect to learn from both the State of Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) and the United States Forest Service (USFS) about projects each has in the Cooper Landing area this year. You may read the tentative agenda for that meeting once it is posted at: https://www.kpb.us/planning-dept/ planning-commissions/cooper-landing-apc. Note the link to all 2023 meetings. If you select that link it will take you to a page with the current and past meetings for the year including all support documents. Please note as well, you may read many of the historical documents from past meetings on the above web page.

Our local non-profit Community School program is offering the following activities:

Tot Time! - Mondays and Wednesdays, 12-1pm, Cooper Landing School Gymnasium

Bring the little ones out to play with friends, run in the gym, and work off some energy.

Yoga - Thursdays, 9am, Cooper Landing Community Hall

With focus on breath work, strength and yoga flow, our hope is to create a space and a practice for all community members that will be progressive through the winter. Note: We will be practicing with music. Bring your own mat. Props and modifications will be available. $7 per session. Call/text Dusty Byrd for more information, 907-202-0129.

Volleyball - Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6pm, Cooper Landing School Gymnasium Adults only. Please have clean, non-marking shoes to play in.

All activities during school hours (afternoon Walk/Workout and Tot Time) require participants to first complete a school volunteer application, found here. When the application has been approved, you will be notified by email. You can then participate in these activities. Please feel free to stop by the school between 9am and 3pm for assistance with this application.

If you have ideas for future activities or would like to teach an adult or youth class through Community School, please contact us at cooperlandingcommunityschool@gmail.com.

Oneof the students’ favorite activities during the year is skiing at Alyeska. Starting in February the enitre school goes to Girdwood once a week for ski lessons. Students learn a variety of skills from their ski instructors during the two hour lesson. After ski school, students get to practice what they learned during free-ski with their classmates, parents, and teachers. This year we had several powder days.

A big thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets and donated funds to support our students’ ski lessons. We appreciate your continued support and couldn’t do it without you!
