• Planning & Zoning Board April 14, 1999 Page 9 Mr. Dunn stated the Planning and Zoning Board is going to be dealing with this a lot and the old rules do not apply. Everything is now being driven by a PDO. Approval will be a value judgment. The plan is limited by the number of acres available. Buffer zones and how wetlands are treated need to be provided for in the developers agreement. The City and staff have to try to define a typical building in an area like this. The price of the lot will drive the cost of the home. The physical size of the home does not drive the price of the lot. Mr. Dunn expressed concern regarding the clarifications on page 3, Item 8. He stated a more definitive determination needs to be made regarding tree preservation.

He stated he likes the natural setting of the area and does not want to lose that. A big priority is to work out a way to keep the buffer easement in tact.
