Alaska Supreme Court

Bill Yankee, Appellant v. City and Borough of Juneau, Chris Gilberto, and Ann Gilberto, Appellees

October 20, 2017407 P.3d 460

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s dismissal of the landowner’s administrative appeal, but on reviewability grounds rather than standing. It held that the Community Development Department Director’s decision not to enforce land-use restrictions against the neighbors’ fence was an exercise of enforcement discretion that was not ordinarily subject to judicial review. The court expressly declined to decide whether the landowner had standing or whether the administrative appeal was properly authorized.
