A. Consider approval of a Final Plat on the Sun Crest West Phase 4 Subdivision located at approximately 200 South and 375 West.  Ence Homes, owner and Premier Design/Eric McFadden, applicants.
Kevin Rudd reported that Sun Crest West Phase 4 will complete the Sun Crest West Subdivision plan. The Technical Review Committee (TRC) including the engineer reviewed the Final Plat and reports that it complies with the approved Preliminary Plan for Sun Crest West. The TRC recommends approval.   
Chairman Reed asked if the dedicated open space located on the corner of the plat was inside a block wall or is that exterior to the block wall next to the street.
Eric McFadden advised that it’s not inside a block wall. The open space is next to the street.
Chairman Reed commented that side of town is currently becoming streets lined with block walls with nice landscaping in front of them as opposed to the rest of Ivins. The other parts of Ivins have a different character. He suggested softening the area instead of having monolithic blocks in between.
Commissioner Loris asked if the jogged offsets in the dedicated open space is the same design as Amber Estates.
Eric McFadden stated, "No." It is the same design that was done on Center Street.
Commissioner Loris asked if it was flush with the wall in Amber Estates.
Eric McFadden explained that where it butts up to Amber Estates, it should be plenty deep.
Commissioner Loris asked if it had an additional setback.  Amber Estates has approximately 15-20 feet of setback.
Eric McFadden stated that the setback goes back approximately 40-50 feet and there is an underground detention basin.
Kevin Rudd reported that the open space has an approved landscape plan that is part of the construction drawing. There will be rock, trees, and a sidewalk going through the open space.
Eric McFadden advised that the plan also has a couple of sitting benches, desert landscape and should be similar to the open space on Center Street.

B. Continue discussion of the Ivins City Zoning Ordinance and review Chapter 19, Design Guidelines.
Chairman Reed displayed the text on Chapter 19 Building Design and Site Planning Requirements on the screen so that the Commissioners could discuss and edit the document together. The changes to the text that were discussed at a prior meeting and agreed upon were edited. In addition, the Commissioners had a lengthy discussion and drew examples of rooflines with vertical offsets of at least 2’. The following verbiage was added to (c) Roof Dominance section:  No horizontal roofline or eaves shall extend for more than 50’ without interruption.  Interruption, for the purposes of this section, shall be defined as vertical offsets of at least 2’ with continuation of 10’ minimum. Also, a caption will be added to illustrate the rooflines.
The Commissioners will continue the revision of Chapter 19 at the next Planning Commission meeting and begin with the section on "Building Massing." (Copies of the revisions are available at Ivins City offices)
