A regular meeting of the Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission was brought to order

Motion Huedepohl,second Richardson to approve the printed minutes. Ayes: Reeve,

Mr. Greg Steven and Mr. Chad Freeman were present in regard to request for three
properties on Main Street(300, 310 and 320 Main Street) for zoning change from R-1 to
R2.5 (four-plex). Berner explained that the Planning and Zoning had not recommended
rezoning of the 230 Main Street location submitted by Joe Johnston. The application has
been submitted by Stevens,no map showing property owners within 200 feet and
dimensions has been received from Mr. Stevens. Request for clarification in this matter
has been placed with the city attorney. The city attorney submitted map showing
property owners within 200 foot for Mr. Johnston. Perhaps this same map would work
for Mr. Stevens. However,the map has not been submitted and the map does not show
dimensions as required by the city ordinance. Application fee has been received.
Discussion regarding zone of 320 Main Street. City attorney had contacted Greg about.
this matter.
Greg could wait to learn the official zone prior to consideration by the Planning and
Zoning or he could allow consideration without concern for the current zone of 320 Main
Street. Greg is presently asking for R 2.5 for all three lots.
Parking in the area was discussed,the ordinance would dictate the parking requirements,
and if Greg could not meet the requirements,then either the plan would need to change or
a four-plex would be disallowed on these three lots. Members asked Mr. Stevens for the
dimensions of the lots. Mr. Stevens did not know them. Dimension of the Johnston lot
was available, and after reviewing ordinance,it was determined that the Johnston lot
could not allow an R 2.5 due to inability to meet lot size requirements of the ordinance.
Upon learning that Mr. Johnston's lot would not support the R-2.5 zoning,Mr. Stevens
dropped his request for R2.5 zoning on his three lots and left the meeting.
Huedepohl indicated that the Planning and Zoning should find the correct zoning for lot
320 Main Street even though Mr. Stevens had decided to drop his request for rezoning
request.
Motion Richardson, second Petersen to provide no recommendation on rezoning Request
from Greg Stevens for 300, 310 and 320 Main Street as this request has been dropped by
Mr. Stevens due to the inability of the lots to meet size requirements of the ordinance as
relates to zoning R2.5. Ayes: Reeve, Hudepohl, Richardson,Berner, and Petersen
Motion Petersen, second Reeve to forward Fringe Area Agreement comments and
changes to the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Comission for additional study and
