Chairman Zimmerman stated that he does not totally agree that some of the wetlands need preserving as they are already protected by ordinances. Commissioner Shumway stated that in the future, the Commission should review and amend the PUD seciton of City Code for clarification purposes. The Commission proceeded to review the proposed f'mdings of fact relating to the rezoning of Trott Brook Ponds to PUD. Jeff Caine of Caine and Associates was present representing Gerald Bauer and indicated that the findings should be amended to indicate a total acreage of 208 and proposed lots at 83. Commissioner Hendriksen expressed concern that allowing protected wetlands to satisfy the PUD 20% public/private open space requirement is getting the City back into the previous scenario of accepting swamps to satisfy park dedication requirements. Commissioner Deemer stated that he believes the proposed road alignment in Trott Brook could be made safer by eliminating the need to access the proposed 174th onto Hwy. #47. Motion by Commissioner Bawden and seconded by Chairman Zimmerman to amend the proposed findings of fact by eliminating Item g9 indicating that the City is interested in acquiring wetlands on the property for storm water management purposes.
