Bureaucrats "Frosty" About Mysterious 25' Snowzilla Snowman

Homeowner Calls City "Goofy"

For 3-years in a row a giant 25’ snowman has mysteriously appeared in an Anchorage, Alaska man’s front yard despite a cease and desist order by the city. The homeowner says he has no idea who built “Snowzilla” nor do his seven children or neighbors all who say they are equally flummoxed. Anchorage bureaucrats are not amused.

"This property owner has repeatedly ignored city attempts to find ways to accommodate his desire to build a giant snowman without affecting the quiet, residential quality of the neighborhood," said the statement from Mayor Mark Begich's office. "This is a neighborhood of small homes on small lots connected by small streets. It can't support the volume of traffic and revelers that are interested in Snowzilla."

The mayor's office says Powers appears to run a large junk and salvage operation from his home. He has violated land use codes for 13 years, the city said. He owes the city more than $100,000 in fines and other assessments.

Homeowner Billy Powers said it is the city that has been difficult, not him.

"I have tried to jump through every goofy hoop they have sent to me. I have never been confrontational and it goes on and on and on and it is so goofy," he said. "Some of it is unfounded, some is just outrageous."

The city said it did not expect to take any further action until after Christmas. Generally people agree with Billy that local bureaucrats are indeed “goofy.”
