COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999 <br />Hydric soils and wetlands were identified by using a combination of several sources' <br />commonly used for long -range planning purposes. Discussion followed regarding how <br />much of the hydric soils should be included in the MUSA. The process used to determine <br />the amount of hydric soils to be included in the MUSA is standard practice and staff <br />recommended that Council accept Mr. Brixius' analysis. <br />Council Member Lyden suggested that 50% of the identified hydric soils be added to the <br />MUSA now as buildable soils. This would increase the buildable MUSA numbers now <br />but decrease the buildable MUSA numbers needed for 2010 and 2020. Council Member <br />Bergeson felt that the Council should not be dictating what % to use because it is an <br />engineering issue. <br />Staff was directed to work with Mr. Brixius to determine how much of the hydric soils <br />can be built on. This information will be available at the next work session. <br />CLEARWATER CREEK, 3RD, DISCUSS DEVELOPMENT <br />OPEN SPACE MANAGEMENT PLAN, JEFF SMYSER <br />One of the conditions for approval of Clearwater Creek, <br />space management plan be part of the development a <br />reviewed by and receive approval from the Cit i . <br />CT AND <br />as that the open <br />t the contract be <br />The City uses a "boilerplate" develop • � • r Clearwater Creek, 3rd, staff used <br />this development contract format • 'T:! ges to reflect the conditions for approval <br />and items in the draft open sp ent lan.
