Minutes-12/07/2001 (2)

I be continued in the next meeting. Karin Walls indicated that contact has been made with IDOT regarding the need for planning for Ireland Avenue north from I- 80 and for Hwy 6 from Ireland Avenue east back to I-380. Members considered if Coralville may use state, county, school and Coralville money to move their blight area from the Iowa River area to the Clear Creek area. Starting a new blight plan may include upgrade of Hwy# 6 from the Mall out to I-380. Should this blight area be started in Coralville along Hwy# 6 near the Clear Creek, it will redouble the need for Tiffm to plan improvement of Hwy#6 to connect to these upgraded roads in Coralville east of I- 380. Members agreed that all arterial roads for Tiffm should be considered looking 20 and 50 years into the future. JCCOG has heard about work of the Tiffm P& Z, and members expressed interest in obtaining additional help in these plans from either JCCOG or ECICOG as study work becomes more complete. Members agreed that their additional help will most likely be desired. Member Tina Walls has submitted letter of resignation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Tina said she will retain her seat long enough for the city to locate a replacement. Dave Shaffer has been elected to the City Council effective 1/ 1/ 01. Sandy Huedepohl may be able to return to P& Z seat. Motion Walls, second Shafer to adjourn. Motion carried. 6: 45 p.m. Melvin Reeve, Chair Margaret B. Reihman, City Clerk Planning and Zoning Commission
