Meg Arpin, 1117 E. 3e, representing developer. Ms. Arpin stated that she
wanted to point out that ooncurrency, as was discussed at the last Planning
Commission meeting was not a part of this ordinance. There are other
regulations and checks for transportation issues. That this just deals with the
land that is included in the requested PUD. Other agencies and departments
would be taking care of the rest of those issues.
These was discussion that followed in regard to how this ordinance was created
for, what are the uses, who takes into account the concurrency issues, what are
the alternatives. All concerns were valid, however it was explained that those
concerns will be addressed in other ordinances.
