Notes for the Work Session - 8-2-24

______________________________________________________________________________ CITY OF TIFFIN CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL – NOTES FOR WORK SESSION ITEMS August 3, 2024 • Johnson County received an application from Jeff Carew to amend its Future Land Use Map for approximately 45 acres of land located about a quarter of a mile west of Tiffin’s city limits (property addressed as 2367 Highway 6 NW). The application is to amend the Johnson County Future Land Use Map from primarily agricultural future land uses in that area to a residential future land use category that would allow for future residential zoning and development. According to the applicant’s concept, potentially more than 50 lots could be developed. According to Tiffin’s Future Land Use Map, this is in an area identified for future commercial uses in Tiffin after future annexation. Brian Shay and I met with Johnson County to talk about the concept as they would like to relay the City’s comments and/or concerns to the County’s Planning & Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors to avoid any potential conflicts that might surface in the City’s extra- territorial review (which would come later in the process). For your review and discussion on Tuesday night, attached is the application, subdivision concept and Tiffin’s Future Land Use map. • As was previously discussed and requested, attached is a parking lot expansion concept and cost estimate for the parking area in the Jim Bartels City Park east of the park entrance that parallels Highway 6. • At the last council meeting there was a discussion of potential speed limit modifications on some of Tiffin’s arterial and collector streets. The direction given was to identify the areas of concern, discuss them with Johnson County Sheriff’s Department and Sargeant Hynes and then have a discussion/recommendation(s) at a following meeting. As of right now, suggested areas identified are Forevergreen Road from Boardwalk Avenue to Croell Avenue and North Park Road from Aster Drive to Oakdale Boulevard. If there are other areas of concern, please contact me so I can generate a more complete list or bring your suggestions to the work session.
