• PLANNING & ZONING MEETING 4 MAY 12, 1993 contiguous - Mr. Brixius replied only from the lake not from the wetland. Mr. Brixius also stated that it is possible some type of mitigation could be initiated to increase the area of these lots. Mr. Schones stated that he was uncomfortable with the possibility of three bridges across the wetland in this area. Mr. Brixius suggested approval with the condition that mitigation be considered on these lots and that their area be 10,800 contiguous, joint easements be considered, or lots combined to increase square footage.
