 Alaska Dep't. of Transportation v. Fairbanks North Star Borough (4/25/97), 936 P 2d 1259
INTRODUCTION This appeal raises the issue of whether the State of Alaska, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (State), was required to exhaust its administrative remedies before filing a declaratory judgment action challenging the validity of an ordinance adopted by the Fairbanks North Star Borough (Borough).
The Borough argues that this action is essentially an appeal from the Planning Commission's decision to condition its approval of two variances requested by the State on the State's conformance with the Setback Ordinance.
Alaska Public Employees Ass'n, 663 P.2d 916, 922 n.19 (Alaska 1983) that the "doctrine is not applicable where the remedy sought is judicial rather than administrative." In this case, the State seeks a ruling that the Setback Ordinance is invalid.

 Fairbanks North Star Borough v. State of Alaska (2/28/92), 826 P 2d 760
State, 553 P.2d 8, 29 (Alaska 1976)] that the plaintiffs' action was not barred by the statute of limitations specified in Appellate Rule 45 because the action was independent of the earlier administrative proceedings and was based on article VIII, section 10, of the Alaska Constitution.
The borough argues in the alternative that, even if inverse condemnation claims based on regulatory takings are subject to the time limit on administrative appeals, its condemnation claim challenges the state's physical invasion of borough lands, and therefore is not subject to the time limit.
