Planning & Zoning Board <br />May 12, 2021 <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala commented that it depends on where the project is located. In a more <br />developed area, more people are notified. Often times the City will go a little further <br />than what is required based on the context of the area. <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech commented that determining how the City utilizes resident feedback <br />should be used to help decide how far the City should notify residents. The more <br />people the City reaches the more feedback we will get. <br /> <br />Chair Tralle commented these meetings are informational and should be treated as <br />such. He stated that he did not think that we need to establish minimum standards on <br />lot size because we have the existing zoning code. He stated the PUD’s have been <br />working well when using the existing zone standards. He agreed that only buildable <br />land should be considered open space. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert agreed with Chair Tralle that the open space should be buildable land. <br /> <br />Ms. Lindahl commented that the board should consider wildlife corridors where <br />upland open space can be next to wetland corridors or other water features. She <br />stated that there is some value to maintaining wetlands and corridors that could be <br />filled by the developer and just making sure that is not counted the same as upland. <br /> <br />Mr. Root commented instead of the term “buildable” he preferred using the term <br />useable. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden asked if a developer can fill a wetland if it is in an area that is designated <br />as a wetland corridor in our comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that they can still impact that area. You can’t require the <br />dedication of property, but you can use the PUD to expand and get a bigger piece of <br />that that wetland corridor than you would normally get through straight zoning. He <br />stated there are ecological issues why you may want to preserve something. With our <br />wetland management corridor with Rice Creek we get some buffers automatically but <br />there are instances where you can benefit from some of that open space that might not <br />all be upland. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen stated that Natures Refuge is an example where a PUD was used to bring <br />the lots closer together thus preserving the wetlands. The PUD incentivized the <br />developer to not impact the wetlands, which have value to the City. She agreed with <br />Ms. Lindahl that there is value to allowing open space to be non-upland next to <br />wetland corridors. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala commented that it’s a trade-off for useable upland but he doesn’t want <br />to rule out that there may be some other ecological values out there that should be <br />preserved. <br />
