Cur-tis Miner and Jay Taggart, principle architects for the project, presented six pre-liminary concepts to the city council October 5, and dis-cussed several guiding prin-ciples, including the building as community icon. "This will be a promi-nent building in Cedar Hills," Miner said, "able to be seen everywhere, something to identify with the city." Miner also talked a lot about the idea of gather and spread. "The property that we're working with is an alluvial fan," Miner said. "It sits at the mouth of American Fork canyon. It's actually where water has come down the canyon for many many years, collected sediment and then distributed it in a fan shape, and that's actually what cre-ates this knoll that the build-ing will sit on." The designs all involved some curves, but the one that captured the council's atten-tion, Scheme B, starts with a low-ceiling- foyer on the east and fans out and up as it heads to the west. The foyer is meant to capture the residential feel of the nearby neighborhood, and the curv-ing fan expands out like the canyon and mountains and captures 180 degree view of the valley, "an explosion of space," Taggart said. The foyer also works to gather people and spread them out to the different parts of the building, like the club-house, reception center, grill or cafe, whatever functions are designed for the build ing, such as a bridal room connected with the women's restroom, Council Member Stephanie Martinez's sugges-tion. Council Member Marisa Wright mentioned the mod-ern architecture feel of the drawings and said, "I'm one in five, but I was hoping it could complement all its contexts and still remain for-mal." "I'm impressed with the building," council member Ken Kirk said, "especially the transition from residen-tial to feel as it moves east to west." Council Member Jim Perry said Scheme B remind-ed him a little of the Sydney, Australia opera house. When Miner and Taggart were setting up the easels for the drawings, Perry suggest-ed making more room and some people moved the po dium out into the hall. Perry invited a visiting Boy Scout troop to come closer. "We want to make sure the Scouts can see something. They have to endure their time here," he said. When the troop's hour was up, one of their leaders . asked if anyone had thought about things like green certi- - fication and passive solar el- - ements. Perry said the design hadn't gotten that far yet. Miner and Taggart said they would copies of the drawings for council members to study so they could debate and decide which they liked best, but at the end of the meeting Kirk raised the question of time-line, since the city wants the building ready by next May for the 2011 golf season. After a short discussion the council voted to move forward with Scheme B. - 1 ., j 1 ... j. - J PG City Calendar Wednesday.

City Attorney Tina Petersen told the council that it will take approximately six months to make a more thorough study on this and to be able to make a bet-ter decision on it. Mayor Bruce Call said that the city wants to be careful about what goes in at that location and wants to be sure things are not put in there that they will not want there when the final work is done. The council approved this ordinance unanimously. Also discussed was a reso-lution authorizing the mayor to approve'the removal of two tem-porary hammerhead turnaround easements located on Lots 3 and 6 of the Allred Estates Plat "A" Subdivision at 2100 North 600 West on the Rl-2- 0 (Single Fam-ily Residential Zone, 20,000 square foot lot area) zone in the North Fields Neighborhood. This resolution was ap-proved.
