PUDs that meet the specification are approved by the Planning Commission; and then
we do not like it. Councilmember Gammon said that the City Council approved PUDs

drainage issues. Attorney Chris Williams said he and City Attorney McDowell were
discussing this and both said this at some time it will be a civil issue not the City's.
