The Planning Commission continued their discussion regarding what contingencies should be added to this request. For the item in the PUD document regarding wetland issues, Director Sheldon suggested that the following wording could be used: "At the time of approval of these stipulations, the wetland boundary was not set, that it will be set from the study that will be submitted at the development review stage and that at that time, the City will evaluate whether the amount of density allowed by this PUD needs to be adjusted to take into account a different wetland boundary than what was available at the time of approval of the stipulations", which may mean that the density will be reduced. • Commissioner Obert expressed that he feels the Highway 10-Area 9 study is very important to the City and that this development is crucial in putting the program together.
