Mayor Hart called the meeting to order.  Alan Layton introduced the group: Mark Philp, Architect; Kent Byland, Landscape & Trail Consultant; Brett Henke; Stan Castleton, Senior Principal in a hospitality group known as DDRM. Mike Scrogam, Project Manager with DDRM and Alan's wife Leslie Layton.
Stan Castleton stated he wanted to create an international resort and change the way people perceive Ivins. He feels hotels can do that. He explained that he has done research in the past to figure out why people continue to go to the same place to vacation.  He feels that he can get the details of a hotel, vacation spot and sell real estate all in one and can make it happen for Ivins City.  Mark Philp explained the drawings of where things could be placed, the color of the buildings, pools and villas and hotel areas. He showed slides of how the inside and outside of the buildings may look.  He also referred to trails being near and around the area for hikers and bikers.  He indicated that they are diligently addressing the desert tortoise issue.  The rock fall line is being looked at as well along with retention basins.  Council Member Elwell inquired if the guests to the hotel will be able to see other areas of Southern Utah, such as the National Parks.  Stan Castleton stated that the plan is to have a Path Guide that will work with the guests as a connection to whatever the guests need or want.  Mayor Hart indicated the buildings in the slide presentation appear to be a lighter color.  Mark Philp clarified that the material colors will be reds, rust and the like, and they want to keep the natural vegetation around the casitas.  Mayor Hart referred to the wall in the front section that may have patio tables in it and it being open to the public.  Mark Philp stated the wall would not cut out views and will have steel pickets to close it in.  Mayor Hart commented that the variation of the building heights is intended to keep the sight lines toward the mountain.  Stan Castleton confirmed that is the plan.  Dale Coulam indicated that when the developers file an application, the City will learn more details about what the general concept is.  Mayor Hart thanked them for coming and presenting the information to the Planning Commission and City Council Members.
