Staff, and all employees of the Borough Land Management Department.
No person who is delinquent in property tax or other financial obligation
to the Borough may participate in the auction.
Bidder
Registration
Thoroughly research the parcels you are interested in! There is no substitute for a personal inspection of the property. Once you have found a
parcel you like, you can register as an outcry bidder, October 5th
through October 16th, 2009 (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) in the Borough Department of Land Management, 2nd floor of the BAC, or prior to the
auction from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the first floor lobby. When you
register, you will pay a $250 registration fee and receive a bidder’s card
and information packet. The registration fee must be in the form of
cash, cashiers check or money order. In the case of a winning bid, the
registration fee is applied to the purchase of a parcel. Your registration
fee may be refunded on the day of the auction if you are not a winning
bidder. Successful bidders on more than one parcel must pay an additional $250 deposit for each parcel they wish to purchase.
If you can’t attend
Mail in registration will not be accepted. If you cannot attend the auction, you can give a power-of-attorney to someone to act on your behalf.
A sample Special Power-of-Attorney form is included in Addendum A of
this brochure. The person with power-of-attorney must have the executed form in his/her possession at the time of bidder registration and at
the auction. Be sure the person to whom you have given power-ofattorney knows that he/she must be present at the auction. If that person is not at the auction, you lose the opportunity to buy parcels.
Outcry Auction
The outcry (oral) auction will be held Saturday, October 17th, starting
promptly at 10:00 a.m. in the Borough Assembly Chambers, 1st floor of
the BAC, 809 Pioneer Road, Fairbanks, Alaska. The minimum bid for
each parcel is 95% of Fair Market Value (FMV) as determined by the
Borough Assessor. The minimum bid for each parcel is shown on Page
11 in the ―Property List‖ section of the brochure.
The auctioneer will begin bidding at the minimum bid. Parcels will be
auctioned in alphanumeric order by subdivision.

Outcry Auction
(cont.)
Use your bidder’s card to signal your bid(s) to the auctioneer during the
auction. You may bid on more than one parcel.
If you are the high bidder on a parcel at the auction, you will proceed to
the winning bidder’s table*. Borough financing is available but is subject
to credit approval and acceptance. If you plan to finance through the
Borough, you will need to complete a credit check form and pay a nonrefundable credit check fee at the time you sign the Real Estate Purchas Agreement. If you are purchasing the property jointly with another
person, each person is subject to credit approval and the credit check
fee (currently $15 per individual, or $26 per married couple). If you fail
to receive credit approval, the Borough will refund your $250 bidder
registration fee.
Successful
Bidders
As a successful bidder, you will be asked to complete and sign a Real
Estate Purchase Agreement with the Borough*. All closings must be
completed by 5 pm on December 18, 2009. At closing, you will be
required to pay the full winning bid amount or finance this amount
through the Borough. Borough financing requires a minimum of 10% of
your winning bid as down payment. Conveyance of the parcel will be by
warranty deed.
Terms
Closing costs average $200. You will be notified of the exact amount of
these fees at the auction. Acceptable forms of payment for the down
payment and closing fees are cash, cashier’s checks and certified
checks. Personal and business checks will not be accepted. In addition,
you will be required to submit a check for $130.00 payable to the financial institution handling the Borough’s escrow accounts for annual escrow fee and set-up fee at time of closing. The balance will be paid in
equal monthly installments according to an amortization schedule currently based on 6.5% interest per year for a period of ten years. Payments of unpaid balances may be accelerated at the option of the purchaser. There is no penalty for prepayment.
*No later than immediately after the last parcel in the Auction is sold.
If you fail to complete the purchase for which you are the winning
bidder or fail to close by December 18th, you will forfeit the $250
bid registration fee and the right to purchase the same parcel in
the Over The Counter Sale Program.

Over-theCounter
Land Sale
Parcels not sold at the outcry auction will be reoffered over-the-counter
beginning 10 am, Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 in the Borough Department of Land Management, 2nd floor of the BAC.
Development
Incentives
Any auction or over-the-counter purchaser of property authorized for
sale, who, within five years of the date of the completion of the Golden
Valley Electric Association (GVEA) electric system to the subdivision,
constructs a permanent residence and connects to the electrical system will be entitled to a 10% refund of the purchase price paid to the
Borough. The refund will be issued once the owner provides written
verification that electrical service has been connected to a permanent
residence on the lot which meets GVEA criteria. GVEA’s criteria determines whether a dwelling qualifies as a permanent residence. Refunds
shall be either credited to the principal balance due the Borough or in
the case of a cash sale, paid directly to the purchaser. There will be
only one refund issued per lot per hookup. As of this printing the power
lines are still under construction. We will announce the beginning
dates of the development incentive.
Note: In order to qualify for the development incentive, you must be
current on your payments (lots with Borough financing). Development
incentives in Title 25.15.030(E) do not apply to this sale.
Development
Restrictions
The lots in Salchaket Heights Subdivision are subject to erosion control
easements. These easements limit use within the easement and are
intended to prevent off-site erosion. The easements are essentially
filter strips which restrict disturbance of natural surface vegetation except where it is necessary to pierce through for driveway construction.
Trees may be removed within filter strips to improve views or create fire
breaks, but must be hand cleared as surface vegetation shall not be
disturbed in a manner which exposes mineral soil. Driveway Permits
using Best Management Practices are required and may include erosion control measures such as silt fencing, re-seeding, mulching, rip
rap rock, etc. Contact Bill Gryder, P.E. Borough Road Service Engineer at 459-1223 for more information.
Additional erosion controls include a deed restriction which limits
cleared area to a maximum of 12,000 square feet per lot. Areas excavated during construction may be reseeded and will not count towards
the 12,000 sq. ft. limit. The bidders packet contains specific wording of
the deed restriction.

Mineral
Resources
The State retains ownership of all oil, gas, ore, minerals, fissionable
materials, geothermal resources and fossil fuels which may be in or
upon land conveyed to the Borough. The State has reserved the right
to enter the land to explore for and develop these materials and may
allow mining claims to be staked. However, State law also provides that
the surface owner be compensated for damages resulting from mineral
exploration and development. The State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) may close to mineral entry those areas where the potential subsurface use, ie. mining activity, would be incompatible with the
proposed surface use, ie. residential subdivision. Call the DNR Division of Mining, Land and Water at (907) 451-2788 for more information.
Utilities
Electric service will be available to both subdivisions. Telephone service is available to some of the auction lots. To determine the availability of telephone service, contact Alaska Communications System, Inc.

rights, the purchaser must apply to DNR, Division of Mining, Land and
Water, at (907) 451-2788.
Driveways,
Roads & Drainages

placed in drainage ditches adjoining subdivision lots. Culverts of not
less than 12 inches in diameter by 30 feet in length shall be placed on
