Regular meeting of the Tiffin Planning and Zoning Commission was brought to order by
Chair Steve Berner, 6:30 p.m., Wednesday,November 1, 2000 at the Tiffm Fire Station.
Members present: Steve Berner, Tina Walls, Melvin Reeve, Sandy Huedepohl, and
Terry Richardson on fire/first responder call. Absent: None.
Motion Walls, second Reeve to approve printed agenda and minutes. Ayes: Huedepohl,
Walls, Berner, and Reeve. Nays: None. Motion carried. Two University of Iowa
students were present to introduce themselves, they will be working on a field project as
part of an Urban Planning class.
The school has withdrawn request for rezoning of region west of the school because the
school cannot see financing for purchase. The area being first considered by the school,
is now under purchase-option by C &L Development. The school had investigation of
the area, but did not get opportunity to a purchase-option of the area. City Attorney
Greenleaf indicated that any ground purchased by the city would be zoned Public by
virtue of its use. Planning and Zoning members spend time in study of the new set of
plans for this same area. The new plan includes commercial on Hwy#6, R-3, R2.5, R-2,
R-1 and public park area of approximately 3.75 (5%of 150 acres). Density issues were
considered by public present. Ability to supply water and sewer utilities to the area was
considered in discussion. Ed Cole of C& L Development explained that it was understood
that development would need to wait on the ability of the city to provide utilities.
Member Walls asked the developer if this would create financial strain during the time of
wait on city utilities. Cole explained that they understood this lack of utilities that might
stretch into multiple years of waiting. Walls indicated a reluctance to approve this new
subdivision concept plan when city plans for water and sewer service were so far into the
future.
Motion Reeve, second Huedepohl to approve a concept plan for rezoning of the Tiffm
Edge area to the city council. Plan including commercial on the highway, R-3, R-2.5, R-
2, R-1 and designated public park area. Ayes: Richardson, Reeve, Berner, Hudepohl.
Nays: Walls. Motion carried.

Adjustment. Ayes: Berner, Reeve, Richardson, Walls, and Huedepohl. Motion carried.
