Kevin Rudd indicated that the Concept Plan for this subdivision was presented at the previous Planning Commission meeting and is the same plan presented tonight. A copy of the plan is available by request through Ivins City Hall. The applicant intends to complete the subdivision as presented by the previous developer and to follow the terms of the original development agreement. There is one change, that being a sidewalk next to the landscape buffer along Highway 91 which is a requirement in the Transportation Master Plan. The TRC (Technical Review Committee) recommends approval. Chairman Mehr opened the Public Hearing. There being no comments, Chairman Mehr closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Benson referred to meandering sidewalks and inquired if this plan is in compliance with the current ordinance and Kevin Rudd indicated that it is.

Kevin Rudd referred to the redlined document previously provided to the Planning Commission and inquired if the Commissioners’ had any comments or recommendations. Commissioner Murphy inquired if the Commissioners are to send their comments or recommendations directly to Form Tomorrow or if those should go to the City first. Kevin Rudd indicated all comments and recommendations should be forwarded to him and he will then forward them onto Form Tomorrow and to the other Planning Commission members. The Commissioners will provide their input to Kevin Rudd prior to the next Planning Commission meeting.
Kevin Rudd indicated Staff is ready to draft an Ordinance based on the Planning Commission’s previous discussions and then proceed with a Public Hearing. He indicated the current ordinance indicates if the change to the lot is not more than four feet (4’), grading or elevating of the lot is allowed. If it is more than four feet (4’), the affected neighbor has to give approval. Kevin indicated the neighbor approval should not be required and he recommends reducing the four feet (4’) figure to two feet (2’) and require a review by the TRC (Technical Review Committee) if the grading or elevating is more than two feet (2’). On smaller lots the rule of thumb is those lots should be one foot (1’) above grade which provides enough protection for water flow, unless the owner can provide proof of adequate drainage. He suggested a standard that is fair to the neighbors and to a developer to reasonably develop the property. The Planning Commission discussed lot sizes, small and large subdivisions, fill, walk-out basements, retainer walls, drainage, setbacks and parameters. Kevin Rudd will work with the City Engineer and provide a draft ordinance to the Planning Commission for their review.
Commissioner Benson referred to page 5, line 21 and indicated the verbiage "we don't want" should be replaced with "it might not be reasonable".
MOTION: Commissioner Adel Murphy moved to approve the Ivins City Planning Commission minutes for June 1, 2010.
