Minutes-4 /12/1972

Minutes of Special Council Meeting, April 12, 1972, Town of Tiffin, Tiffin, Iowa Mayor Stratton presiding; Councilmen present: Potter, Spivey, Kobold, Davis. Councilman absent: Bream Absent: Attorney Neuzil Clerk read a letter she received from Hayek & Hayek representing their client Mr. Louis Voparil. Mr. Hayek states his client feels after examining the proposed change in his site plan for an 8 plex, he feels that it would be unwise and impractical for a number of reasons. First of all, it would eliminate too many parking spaces and would result in only minimum amount of off street parking. He feels this would only cause problems in the future for the neighborhood as a whole. Secondly, taking the whole thing together, the proposed change in the site plan would result in a less attractive development than the one originally proposed. Also, moving the parking in between the two buildings would cause traffic problems for the persons residing in the buildings on the driveway. For those reasons his client had instructed Mr. Hayek to advise the Council that he declines to make the proposed change in his site plan. He is, however, willing and does hereby state in writing that he will, if the building permit is granted, delete three parking spaces at the southeast corner of the lot as was suggested at the last meeting. Further, he will subdivide the parcel as was suggested at the last Council meeting. With the two alterations outlined in the preceding paragraph we request that the application for building permit originally submitted be granted by the Town Council. Glenn Potter made a motion to deny Mr. Voparil a building permit, as presented. Don Davis seconded. All in favor by roll call vote.
