Charles Wohlforth - Excellent commentary.  Thank you.

Hard for me to imagine the rationale for allowing hazardous fuel tank construction to creep even closer to a residential neighborhood, thereby placing oil/gas/fuel company interests above public safety.  Please enlighten us Mayor Berkowitz why disallowing setbacks is a bright idea.  

Industrial grade accidents occur in industrial fuel complexes. As a former AFD Paramedic, I'm recalling a patient with serious burns I transported to a hospital decades ago secondary to a tank explosion during the renovation/cleaning of one of those Port of Anchorage fuel tanks.  Poor planning and inadequate regulation increases the potential for much more than a single industrial accident victim.
