Minutes-11/01/2006

Tiffin City 11/ 1/ 2006 Page proposing that if Redbird extends southward it should align with the school opening. If Redbird extends it would probably need signage at that time. 600 traffic count for the school would probably not require stop sign, and increase later up to around 1, 200 traffic count would probably need an electric sign. Suggested that at the time Redbird connects and/ or when traffic count at the school reaches 1, 200 the school should at that time provide stop sign for safety. Recommended that Glasgow exit to Hwy 6 in an intersection=with Deer View. The problem with this alignment is that is probably cost prohibitive for the school and city. The only party that might finance a street here would be Glasgow. Petersen thought a road lining up with Deer View would be good here., Richardson said you have to consider how high school kids drive, safety should be a concern in the plans. Commission suggested that an access be recommended half way between Jasper and I- 380. Motion Colvin, second Reeve to recommend approval of Tiffin Access Plan for Highway 6 with recommendations noted. Ayes: Berner, Reeve, Colvin, Richardson, and Surine. Motion carried Commission did not see any request to act upon for the DeerView Access request at this time. Colvin will provide information to Dils for trailing effort and moved to next agenda. Mike Hart said that copper prices have risen to$ 800/ roll and a new design standard revision would allow placement of water lines from main to home made of 200 PSI polehelyne tubing. Surine asked if contamination of plastic pipes could be a problem. Hart said city water mains are plastic and can be a source for contamination. Motion Richardson, second Reeve to send recommendation to revise City of Tiffin Design Standards to allow for plastic water service lines from city mains to homes. Ayes: Richardson, Berner, Reeve, Colvin and Surine. Motion carried. Hart said that the PZ could see more revisions for the design standards in upcoming months. City is revising the subdivision ordinance to once again allow Line of Credit as deemed necessary by city council in place of performance bond requirements. Dils accepted input on planning maps of the City. Planning and Zoning will continue review. The maps are important for making the city eligible for placement on funding lists under JCCOG and DOT program planning. Motion Colvin, second Surine to adjourn. Motion carried. 7: 30 p.m. Margaret B. Reihman, City Clerk
