Special Meeting - March 23, 2006
Of the Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission
A special meeting of the Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission was brought to order
by Chair Steve Berner at 7:000 p.m. at the Tiffin Fire Station. Members present: Steve
Berner,Terry Richardson, Shawna Colvin and Melvin Reeve, Surine. Absent: None.
A development fee ordinance was considered by Planning and Zoning and agreed that the
city should begin some kind of fee to provide for future improvement project. No action
by Planning and Zoning as no document was available for review.
Commission spent time in review of infrastructure needs for the Woodfield Ridge
Subdivision area. Possible improvement costs for Roberts Ferry could range near
$500,000.00. Attorney Dean Spina was present and indicated that most communities
participate at a rate of 25 % on required road improvements when developments are
entering the city. Last year North Liberty had agreed to 33%responsibility for new
roadway work. Members felt that a 33%responsibility for the city, 33% for east side
subdivision and 33%responsibility for west side subdivision seemed a fair division of
cost for the improvements to Roberts Ferry Road in this growth area.
Concern about pond banks, and that they be mowable when work is finished. That banks
be graded for trailing including wood chips trail at 10 foot width. Members requested 6
