Tiffm Planning and Zoning 9/ 6/ 2000 page 4 Greg Allen: Great concern about water levels if well are used in the area. Water levels have already drooped 20 feet in this area. All sand wells of the area will be pulled dry. Doug Frederick: Plans are to place a 6" water line under Roberts Ferry/ Ireland Avenue to use city sources Tina Walls: I don' t recall this being planned. Mick Allen: Will these taxes be general taxes or Tiffed taxes? Berner: Probably a city council decision, but no reason to think it would be TIF. Ned Allen: I' ve seen plans were Redbird Run in Songbird Estates deadends into the north end of my property. The city decides and then tells us about it. We' ve had trouble with maintenance on our fence and were told it was a township trustee problem. Linda Schreibner: Does the city have a land use plan? Copy will be sent to her. Ned Allen: I have two noisy, dusty, dryer bins with odor? Will these be shut down? Sandy Huedepohl: I wouldn' t think so, you have made farm use of this area for a long time. Question about housing type. Mobile are trailer homes, modular are trailer homes with tongue removed for permanent placement. Both are trailer homes. Mrs. Allen: 1) Think about what would make our community look nice . 2) Consider social problems and their costs. Greg Allen: Coralville let us have the Western Hills court, and now we' ll have to worry about children playing in this area. Commission Member Tina Walls: A tally of the area shows approximately 1, 000 lots available for mobile home dwellings. I think that is enough space for our locality. Western Hills 286 with plans for 100 more, Clear Creek 60 with plans for 30 more, Parkview( no count) Safari ( no count) Golfview, 266, Holiday, 262. Tom Lawrence: 1) When looking at plans, the lots look crowded, but the lots are 150 X 60 nearly the size of lots in the Songbird ( 130 X90) 2) The plans would be contained to this area, because it is locked in by school and substation, it would not grow any larger. 3) these plans provide for a better plan that the stereotypical trailer court. Greg Allen: 1) Trailers are being built larger and will fill more of the lot 2) Over 1, 000 people may be brought to this area
