Mailboxes and Parking:,
Some of the people on Iris Avenue have petitioned, or started to petition the Post Office
for rural delivery for convenience reasons. The Post Office has approved this placement s"
of rural delivery boxes on Iris Ave. Karen Ruppert helped get this approved, but is now `i
on medical leave and another post office employee has to oversee this change. t
1� g tiij'$:
People apparently received notices around August 16 that they would have (I think) 2 :i€ +ii
weeks to get boxes up for delivery. The person who oversees the 20 condos;up there 1);
does not think that she can get 20 boxes up that fast and has requested additional time
from the post office (and I think they did give her extra'time.) ;, `:
1i h s
C
In the meantime, the people who did want new boxes, got there box up. ,The person who :'?i Vii+ I r ,
has four condos has to cooperateFwith the fifth person across the street,,qo that boxes are ;! ' `(d a
on one side of the streetland also so there aren't boxes every two,feet,asl�you drive up the ,4Y
avenue. l` �i Oil' D1, r 1 ,6 ,
There was some disagreement about the kind of boxes, and people`are'very concerned. ; i `
il il
It seems that most understand why the city put NO PARKING signs on one side of the
was a ;
w
street a couple years ago, everyone seemed to agree that getting through the street a ,f;.
problem. r ' j"
Now,the problem for the city is that the p o boxes are going up on theieast side of Iris '(
Avenue will not get mail if anyone is parking in front of the boxes. Neighbors may know �'`
II mail time, but public people,would not know mail time, and could causedelivery . 1;1
problems. For that reason, everyone up there seems to understand tha!�the NO -ill'
PARKING signs will probably go from the west side of the street over to the east side of i
the street. 1 ., �l
The person who has a home with a water hydrant in his front yard is requesting that the r' l
city not allow parking where the hydrant is and the total distance between the two 1
driveways on either side of the hydrant. This will mean the loss of one parking space on
Iris Ave. Another solution suggested would be to place NO PARKING signs around the T
mailboxes, this might mean 6 signs or 12 signs depending on what you have the signs ,i;
say. There may be people present at the meeting to ask about solving this NO PARKING f
problem on Iris Ave. These people all seem upset. .. " if :
Rummelhart had weeds cut down, but they missed the lot next to the bank, the mower I'1 !'
thinking that the bank owned it. I have called Rummelhart to let him know this lot was ii
missed. Clarence also came in to see if the weeds on the east side of Iris Ave near the ,
court could be cut by Rummelhart. I have passed this word on. b;,
`
Most of the junk looks gone to me. One metal contraption up on the east side of Iris
∎ 1
Avenue. One orange truck driven into the trees at Joe's place. One piece of equipment
F{
across south from the Post Office. I think things look better than they have. `l�,

Glenn directed a letter to the Lark for clean up.

Planning and Zoning Commission September 5. 2001
City of Tiffm
A regular meeting of the Tiffm Planning and Zoning Commission was brought to order
by Chair Steve Berner. Members present: Steve Berner, Tina Walls, Terry Richardson,
Melvin Reeve and Dave Shaffer. Absent: None. Also present: Mayor Glenn Potter,
Council members Bartels and Dils.
Motion Walls, second Richardson to approve the printed minutes and agenda. Ayes:
Richardson, Walls, Berner, and Shaffer. Motion carried.
Mick McGrew was present to talk about his plans for his lot on Marengo Road. Mick is
not certain exactly which way he should move forward with the property. The clerk gave
Mr. McGrew both zoning and subdivision worksheets for whatever request he may
decide. Mr. McGrew asked if he could sell off a portion of the most easterly section of
the property. P&Z explained that he could sell off a portion, however that would not
allow anyone to use the property in a different zone that is at present. To make another
use, the property would have to be rezoned. No action by Planning and Zoning.
Motion Shaffer, second Walls to recommend approval of the Subdivision Ordinance
amendment that provides for notification of all property owners within 200 feet of any
subdivision request, and providing for provision for same. Ayes: Walls, Reeve,
Richardson, Shaffer and Berner. Motion carried.
Motion Richardson, second Shaffer to recommend approval of the Amendment of the
Zoning Ordinance that provides for addition setback requirements on arterial Highway#6
between Roberts Ferry and Main Street. Ayes: Reeve, Walls, Richardson Shaffer, and
Berner. Motion carried.
Planning and Zoning Commission took time in study of Tiffin Comprehensive Plan.
