New Business:
Commission members reviewed the request submitted to City Hall by The Depot Tiffin to re-
zone residential property that is owned by The Depot directly south of their commercial property on W.
Marengo Rd. No one was present at meeting to represent The Depot Tiffin regarding their request.
Landowner desires to have residential lot rezoned to commercial to eventually be able to expand
current building zoned C1-B (Neighborhood Business District). It was suggested by commission
members to visit;with landowner on possibly joining the two properties and re-zoning together as
possible C2-B (Community Business District). Concerns were raised by commission members on size
of lot and conforming uses of commercial zoning. Landowner will be contacted to attend May 5, 2010
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to address concerns of commission on re-zoning request.
Motion made by Stephanie Surine and seconded by Melvin Reeve to table any further action and
discussion until May 5, 2010 meeting.
Brian Crawford, McClure Engineering, was present at Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
regarding the re-zoning request for the Planned Area Development amendment for the Woodfield Ridge
PAD currently under construction. Suggested by Commission member to move fire hydrant located on
site plan to be located on south side of driveway. Also Crawford was reminded to make sure the fire
hydrant had storz nozzles on it as per the fire department requirements. Discussion held on size of lot,
street size in PAD District, and number of units planned for amended area. Commission member asked
Crawford to provide list of non-conforming standards, Item #2 of PAD .12. It was reported that the Public
Hearing for the requested re-zoning for the PAD Amendment would probably'be set at the City Council
meeting on April 14, 2010 for April 28, 2010 and that a first reading of Ordinance 2010-301 could be
decided by the City Council at that time. A second reading would probably not be approved before the
recommendation made by the Planning and Zoning Commission was received by the City Council.
Crawford was asked to attend the May 5, 2010 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Motion made
by Stephanie'Surine and seconded by Melvin Reeve to table any further discussion and action untirthe
May 5, 2010 meeting.
Melvin Reeve inquired on possible extension of a street in the Industrial Park to extend over to the
western boundary of the city limits and which would also be the western limit of the industrial Park for•
future development of the Industrial Park. Final Plat will be located for future discussion.
Motion made by Stephanie Surine and seconded by Melvin Reeve for adjournment at 7:29 pm.
