He stated that as the owner and developer <br />of 33 acres in the city, he supports the Finance Committee recommendation but <br />stated that it is grossly unfair that commercial development gets off the hook. He <br />stated his agreement with the recommended nexus study. <br />Mark Sanders supported the balance for commercial with residential expressing <br />that urgencies of the moment sometimes misplace more important things. He <br />asked about mechanisms that will ensure funds are dedicated to parks and not <br />decimated for other purposes. <br />Mayor Pierce commented that a letter had been received from Ted Hannig outlining <br />two recommendations for the proposed ordinance: One pertained to Section <br />30.146 with the suggestion that there should be more flexibility allowed. The <br />second topic addressed was "credit for existing resident capacity" stating that <br />although staff promised, his review did not find that provision.
