There will be a presentation by Kennecott Land regarding the Daybreak Town Center and some of the visioning they have done with that.

Community Development Director George Shaw said we would like to invite Kennecott Land to come do a presentation at the May 11^th Planning Commission. Let me know if this is a good date for all of you. It not this date then some other upcoming Planning meeting. Commissioner David Wood said he will not be attending that meeting I will be out of town.

B. COMMENTS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS

Commissioner Linda Auger apologizes for missing the General Plan meeting. She said she had the opportunity to visit the Soda Row Development in Daybreak. We found a cute little Mexican place called Tio’s; it is a really nice addition.

Commissioner David Wood said I know about 4 of the 5 Planning Commission members were attendees at the County conferences.

Commissioner Paul Pugmire said I too was there. I was actually on the program.

Chairman David Wood opened for Citizen Comment. There were none.

City Planner Greg Schindler said the Citizen Comment portion will no longer be on the Planning Commission Agendas.

Commissioner Auger said I get taking that public comment item off, but the City Council has the pledge of allegiance; why don’t we?

Commissioner Paul Pugmire said I would like to address the public comment issue. He asked why that was removed and what the source was. City Planner Greg Schindler said because there were only a couple of times he can remember anyone getting up to make public comment and the types of comments received were usually issues that should be directed to City Council.

Commissioner Paul Pugmire said I don’t think we know in advance what comments will or will not come and I think we are a public body here to serve the public. I think we should put this back on our agendas. All Commissioners were in agreement to have the Public Comment item added back to the Planning Agendas.

C. STAFF BUSINESS.

None

D. NEW BUSINESS

None

III. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND POTENTIAL **ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION ITEMS

**Administrative Action = Less Discretion, Substantial Evidence (Objective Standard)

A.1. File #SUB-Amend-2010.15, Subdivision Amendment Amending Daybreak Plat 10A, located Southwest of Silver Mine Road and South Jordan Parkway, Kennecott Land Company (applicant).

City Planner Greg Schindler reviewed the background information on this item. Kennecott Land is proposing to amend the Daybreak Plat 10A subdivision by dividing lots 142, 149 and 150 into three lots each to accommodate additional dwelling units. The reason for creating additional lots that front the lanes is that the Carriage Home units that would be constructed on these lots will fill in gaps in the lane. Kennecott Land is proposing to develop these lots within this model home area to begin to test how to create more livable and greener lanes in future development areas within Daybreak. The overall number of lots within the plat will be increased by six with the amendment. The proposed amendment is very minor and is necessary to better accommodate future development of the lots.

Chairman David Wood asked if the applicant was present.

Rulon Dutson, 4700 Daybreak Parkway – We are very excited about this project. This is in our model home village. It is the only one opened in Utah this year due to the economy. They provide us the opportunity to show the product we have as we open up a new village. These are homes that live off the lane. This amendment to the plat provides us the opportunity to try that as our model home village to see how that would work and see the interest there. The reason this did not come in the initial plat is because this was not quite ready when the initial plat was done.

Commissioner Auger said it looks like on the drawing that the people will be pulling in to their driveway from the back of the house; is that correct?

Mr. Dutson said I actually asked that to some of our design architects today; the back of the house is shown as being the alleyway, but the living space in the example above is how they are able to utilize that yard.

Commissioner Paul Pugmire asked if there will be solar units on these units. Mr. Dutson said not at this time.

Chairman David Wood opened the Public Hearing to comments. There were none. The Public Hearing was closed.

A.2. Potential Action Item – (See III. A.1.)

Commissioner Auger made a motion to approve File #SUB-Amend-2010.15, Subdivision Amendment Amending Daybreak Plat 10A, located Southwest of Silver Mine Road and South Jordan Parkway, Kennecott Land Company (applicant).

B.1. File #SUB-2010.16, Preliminary Condominium Map for Daybreak Garden Park Condominiums, located at 11199 South Oakmond Road, Kennecott Land Company for Ivory Development (applicant).

City Planner Greg Schindler reviewed the background information on this item. Kennecott Land is proposing to divide 2 parcels (parcels K and L) that were excepted from the Daybreak Village 4A Multi Family No. 1 subdivision and reserved for future division and development. The parcels are to be divided into 10 condominium units and common area that will be constructed by Ivory Development. Phase 1 of the Garden Park Condominiums was approved by the Commission on December 8, 2009. Phase 1 is located a couple blocks east of this site on Duckhorn Drive. Phase 2 has not yet been platted as condominiums. Based on the findings and conclusions listed, staff recommends that the Planning Commission take comments at the public hearing and approve the Preliminary Condominium Map subject to the conditions listed.

Chairman David Wood asked if the applicant is present.

Rulon Dutson, 4700 Daybreak Parkway – these are very striking units and we are very excited about this project.

Chairman David Wood Opened the Public Hearing to comments. There were none. He closed the Public Hearing.
