WS - C - Carew Application FLUM

The proposed residential subdivision has easy access to Tiffin, the greater Iowa City area, and the corridor (via I80/380). As stated earlier, an increase in the local Tiffin population will boost local business turnout and revenue. A change in zoning from Ag to Residential will result in an increase in the number of building permits issued by the County PDS Building Division, increasing Johnson County revenue. INFRASTRUCTURE & AMENITIES 1. Open spaces The proposed subdivision as planned will provide open spaces of approximately 16.4ac (29%) in the form of sensitive areas which will be protected from development. Also planned as open spaces are four open lots (outlots) which will accommodate shared onsite wastewater treatment and stormwater treatment. 2. Amenities The proposed Johnson County off-street multi-use Trail is very close to the property; the trail will be .5 miles west of the property and 1 mile east off Half Moon Avenue. 3. Location The proposed area is directly off Highway 6 west of Tiffin (see Figure 4 in Appendix). The property has direct access to cities along Highway 6, including Coralville, Tiffin, and Oxford. A well-traveled highway can be significant in the development, acceptance, and lot sales of a new residential subdivision. The Property is 3.1 miles from the I-80 east/west-bound exit #237 which is 1.1 mile from the I-380/US 218 access.
