4)	PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ITEMS—

Mike Rodriguez stated that we have had numerous discussions on this and Chuck Gillette has made all the changes. Chairman Bryan Pack opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no comments, Chairman Bryan Pack closed the Public Hearing.

Chairman Bryan Pack stated we have had good discussion and all changes are on the draft based on those meetings. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated that throughout the document, Chuck Gillette uses developer/designer and uses that phrase at the beginning and so those are interchangeable throughout the entire document. Just past Figure 11-9 item ii it states that the Engineer shall evaluate, instead of the phrase developer/designer. He just wants it to be consistent. Chuck Gillette stated he was thinking of the developers engineer but it could go either way. Page 16 ii. He feels this is an engineering decision, not the developer or designer. The use of engineer is correct here. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated it could say developer. Chuck Gillette stated that he is okay with that. Chairman Bryan Pack inquired if Chuck Gillette would rather it say engineer to get professional guidance on it? Chuck Gillette stated he would prefer it to say Engineer, or as approve by the City. Commissioner Bob Morris stated let's say "and", then it will be for both. Chuck Gillette stated it is okay to say developer here. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated on Item 6A it states if a retaining wall is to be constructed on the property line the retaining wall shall be constructed of masonry or concrete and designed so that the a privacy wall up to 6 feet in height may be constructed on top of the retaining wall by drilling dowels. Let's say drilling in reinforcing dowels. This would be a retaining wall, but it is just if later they put in a 6 foot fence. And then under section B(i) it says the rock retaining wall shall be offset from property line so there is enough space for proper footing. Let's say for "a" proper footing. Under B it states within the front setback, no wall fence or hedge shall exceed 3 feet 6 inches we should add "in height." Last page third from the end it talks about the concrete block wall that goes along Snow Canyon Parkway to Center Street, Item 9Aiii, it says that the capstone shall be 4" thick and overhang the wall by 1 inch. Is that thickness of the cap, width, height or girth? Chuck Gillette stated that he could see how that would be confusing, but he would say height. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated he drove by 200 East down to the Tuacahn roundabout and they are 2" caps and 6" wide. Chuck Gillette stated he should say 4" capstone. The wall is 6" thick and down Center Street 4" height capstone. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated will have to investigate because he thought they were 2" caps. This is on the Parkway pas Puerto. Commissioner Lance Anderson inquired if this was applicable on Highway 91? Commissioner Doug Clifford stated it is on any major arterial. Chuck Gillette stated that it is on Snow Canyon Parkway, Highway 91, 400 East, 200 East, 400 South, 400 West, Tuacahn Drive, Snow Canyon Drive, and textured split face. Red Mountain Vista followed this pattern and did 4" thick. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated he doesn't want that to be the case at Highway 91. It's not that way right now. He doesn't like the splitface to be that high up. When we move it forward let's state that in our motion. Chairman Bryan Pack stated 9A in general talks about all major and minor streets that have these guidelines, except 9Aii will be textured splitface, that only applies to Center Street and Snow Canyon Parkway. You are worried about the capstone? Commissioner Lance Anderson stated yes. Chairman Bryan Pack stated that you are worried about the whole design guideline against Highway 91. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated that smooth pilaster would be standard practice. Splitface block works well because it is readily available. You are worried about splitface use on Highway 91 at all. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated yes. Can we not define where it goes? Chuck Gillette stated yes. He is an engineer, not an architect. These are aesthetic questions and he is ambivalent to that. You and the Council can decide your preference there. Sandstone and Geneva are the colors. Commissioner Lance Anderson asked to take out the second row. Just on a row set beneath the capstone block. Capstone to be 2" with no overhang. Chairman Bryan Pack stated if you want Highway 91 to have a 2" capstone we will need to add that language. Chuck Gillette stated if they look under provision XI, it states that the developer can present acceptable justification with a different architectural design if it is not compatible. So if that is proposed, exceptions may be evaluated on a case by case basis. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated Indigo Trails is already stucco but if we came in to do the second half, we would have to come back in and change that. Chuck Gillette stated this is for when a small subdivision that comes in and they are only doing 200 feet to the road, he wants them to match the standard. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated if it is an existing condition, you can get an exception. Chairman Bryan Pack stated so if that is sufficient, let's draft in 2" capstone into Highway 91. Chuck Gillette inquired is this an option then, or a standard with an option? Commissioner Lance Anderson stated he would like to make it a standard.

MOTION: Commissioner Jeff Loris moved to approve recommendation of proposed amendments regarding grading, with the stipulations discussed, and itemized elements of the CMU walls on Highway 91 to use 2" cap and the other arterial and major collector streets to use 4" cap, respectively.
SECOND: Commissioner Lance Anderson

VOTE: The motion carried unanimously.

Commissioner Lance Anderson recused himself. Mike Rodriguez stated that the original Preliminary Plan was 62 lots on the 18.46 acre site and includes 10,000 sq ft minimum lots on the R-1-10 zone on the westernmost portion and R-1-7.5 or 7,500 sq ft lots on easternmost portion of the Mojave Mesa development. This amended and extended plan is adding 8 lots to the eastern portion, and realigning the roadway to propose 70 lots and increasing to 22.01 acres. They want to turn that road back towards Fitness Way. is going in so now that road will be north and south towards Fitness Way and it is amending and extending those 8 lots.. Chairman Bryan Pack inquired what discretion do we have? If it meets the guidelines we need to accept it. Mike Rodriguez stated that it matches the zoning and TRC has reviewed it. The improvements comply with our City ordinances. Chairman Bryan Pack opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no comments, Chairman Bryan Pack closed the Public Hearing.

Chairman Bryan Pack stated that he does not see any reason not to approve this. Commissioner Jeff Loris stated on grading for that area on Lots 31 through Lot 34 descend down to the new road on the south side. The elevation of Lot 33 is 18 and Lot 34 is 17 and then jumps up 2 feet and then descends to the west to try to push water to the south to Fitness Way. Will that cause a drainage issue from Lot 34 with all the water coming down that road? Commissioner Lance Anderson stated he will look into that.

MOTION: Commissioner Bob Morris moved to approve recommendation of Mojave Mesa Amended and Extended Preliminary Plan, located at approximately Mojave Way and Fitness Way. AnA Enterprises LLC and Custom Contracting Corp-Owner. AnA Enterprises. LLC/Lance Anderson-Applicant.
