Tiffm Planning and Zoning 9/ 6/ 2000 page 2 City? 5) Is there water and sewer to this area 6) Will there be sidewalk placement to the school? 7) How many people will this be, will we need a new school? Greg Allen: 1) May be up to 1, 200 new citizens, with 550 school age children and 10 buses. 2) Dense population with low value may be the most expensive growth for Tiffm, with no tax base to provide services needed for city or school. 3) Electrical lines are a known cancer risk and why would be place any homes in this area 4) There are no plans on paper to show how developers plan to keep children away from the substation or get school age children on sidewalks to school Ed Cole: Information is on paper, and was dropped off with neighbors. Ned Allen: We never received any plans. Commission Member Huedepohl: reminded all present to conduct themselves in a civil manner. School Board Member Linda Schriebner: Ed has presented plans with the school board a month ago. Concerns expressed 1) high density of plans 2) busing of regarding: hundreds of school- age children 3) manner for providing sewer and water service 4) parking space for this density 5) risk of high wire cancers 6) better use of the area as park area 7) concern about growth throughout the entire area being aggravated by an addition high density W.J. Robison II: 1) Does Tiffm have a plan 2) This would double the size of the city in just one small location 3) Does this fit into what we want this area to look like in ten years? Commission Member Berner: The city has anticipated commercial growth to the south, but this request popped up before the city in the last month, and the city is obligated to respond. Tom Lawrence: The ground is set aside by the Iowa Department of Transportation along Hwy# 6 should the roadway need to be expanded in width here. Is busing required to bus students inside a two- mile radius? Clear Creek Amana Superintendent Okerberg: No requirement of busing students within 2 miles, but a district may choose to do so for good reason, and this does add to costs. Mrs. Allen: Will we need a new school:
