Minutes-02/01/2006

Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission February 1, 2006 Road. R-2 and R-3 housing will back into Roberts Ferry reducing the number of accesses along Roberts Ferry. The entire subdivision includes approximately 120 units of multi-family, and 195 single family. Developers indicated that they would like pond retention areas accepted for park space in consideration of frontage and installation of Oakdale Boulevard. The plans are only preliminary and location for a new water tower are also being taken under consideration. Motion Reeve, second Richardson to recommend approval of rezoning request from Woodfield Ridge of approximately 103 acres from agricultural to R-1 single family, R-2 duplex units and R-4, four-plex units. Ayes: Berner, Reeve, Richardson, Surine and Colvin. Notice of annexation from Coralville has been received. This location along the Clear Creek has recently seen infill by Johnson County, causing concern by the city of Tiffin for flooding. No information received in regard to Bailey’s Crossing. Reeve expressed concern about how the new PUD/PAD zones would be used for planning. A PUD/PAD would require approval of an entire plan by the Planning and Zoning and City Council. John Connor requested that the Planning and Zoning request that the City officials in action of a new subdivided or newly zoned area make provision for upgrade of connector roadways that will provide service for the new citizens using them. Roberts Ferry Road is currently inadequate for the homes using it for outlet to Highway 6. Another 200 homes spilling into the inadequate roadway could be dangerous and expensive to correct after the development has homes in place. Motion Colvin second Reeve to ask the city council to review all new zoning and subdivision requests in conjunction with and with an aim to provide for traffic requirements that are needed to support any new growth and that petitioners be responsible to assist the city in providing for sufficient fulfillment of roadway and traffic requirements of any served area. Ayes: Surine, Colvin, Reeve, Richardson and Berner. Motion carried. Motion Reeve, second Colvin to adjourn. Motion carried. 7:45 p.m. Margaret B. Reifman, City Clerk City of Tiffin
