Tiffm City Planning and Zoning Commission March 2. 2005 A regular meeting of the Tiffm Planning and Zoning Commission was brought to order by Melvin Reeve. Members present: Stephanie Surine, and Ruth DeMuth. Also present: Doug Frederick of Hart Frederick and John Gilroy, Mayor Glenn Potter, Jim Bartels, Karin Dils, and Mark Petersen. Doug Frederick was present on behalf of John Gilroy who was also present to provide information on request for building, site plan for Harney Oil business proposed for Lot No. 13 in the Tiffm Industrial Park. John 1st Gilroy of 806 Avenue in Coralville is proposing two 1, 000 gallon aboveground storage tanks including concrete containment aream asphalt driveway and fence. Gilroy thought if use warranted he might desire to someday bury two 12, 000 gallon underground tanks. Members considered the benefits and drawbacks of above ground versus underground storage tanks. One advantage to above ground is that any leaking can be immediately detected. The tanks will be constructed of double wall material. John agreed to provide as much landscaping as was possible to make the corner lot at Freenfield and Hinkle Drive attractive, although he said that large trees could not be planted near the entrance and exits as large trucks seem to hit these. He did think he could get lower ornamentals and plantings in other locations to keep the area inviting and agreed to do this. Site Plan prepared and surveyed by Douglas P. Frederick, Project No. 057016 Hart Frederick Conusltants P. C.
