Kayenta Homes and Properties
Without a doubt, 2020 will go down in history as one of the most memorable on record, even if for all the wrong reasons. COVID-19 has disrupted every aspect of daily life, changing the way we live and work and denying us those precious opportunities to socialize with family, friends, and neighbors over meals, concerts, movies, church services, outdoor activities, Summer BBQs, and the list goes on and on.
Kayenta has not been unaffected by the global pandemic. The Center for the Arts has been forced to postpone its season; opening times at Art Village have been curtailed; Xetava is serving meals using plastic cutlery and face masks; and Kayenta Homes & Properties has been forced to cancel the annual Memorial Day and Labor Day pool parties (as of going to press, the fate of the annual holiday-inspired open house remains in doubt).
Surprisingly, in these unsettled times, the local real estate market has been as hot as this year’s Summer temperatures. Virtually every home listed for sale in Kayenta since Spring 2020 has gone under contract in record time at increasingly higher prices per square foot, sometimes before even being listed for sale on MLS. Our legendary quality of life has gained notoriety in these chaotic times from prospective buyers. If you’ve been thinking of listing your home for sale, the time to do so is now. We have buyers actively looking.
A year from now, here’s hoping that we’ll all be enjoying each other’s company over potluck, ice cold beverages, and live music around the community swimming pool, just as we’ve done for the past two decades. Here’s also hoping that the “summer of our discontent” will be a bookmark in history, a conversation piece, and a distant memory. In the meantime, stay well and stay safe.
Thank you for your continued support.

Beauty, in whatever form it takes,
soothes the soul.
Barely a month before he died in Dallas, John F. Kennedy said: “We must never forget that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.”
The Board of Directors of Kayenta Arts Foundation truly believe that statement. With that belief leading us, and doing all we can providing safety precautions for every patron, we are about to open the fourth season at the Center for the Arts at Kayenta. We will begin with a series of outdoor concerts in mid-September, and move back inside in October with the Pulitzer Prize winning play, RED, the story of American painter, Mark Rothko.
Of course all these events and others into the future will only be produced with all the safety precautions we mentioned in last month’s article. They also appear as a pop up window whenever you log onto our website page KayentaArts.com.
We look forward to seeing you once again at the cello concert, the Kurt Bestor concert, and at the play RED. Be Safe. Be Well.

August 2020 Recap of Ivins City Council Activities
Hello –
Thanks for the positive feedback from last month’s update, it’s a privilege to serve the residents of Ivins. I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to share your perspective with your elected officials, your opinion is very important to us! Here’s a few issues that are important:
1. CARES Grants
I am so pleased that Ivins has received CARES funds from the State of Utah to make available to Ivins based businesses that have suffered impacts due to Covid-19. Applications will be accepted from September 1-30, 2020. You can apply online at www.ivins.com\CARES here’s the information:
The following eligibility criteria have been approved by the City Council:
• Business must have been licensed in Ivins City (if licensing is required) on or before March 1, 2019
• Business must be located within Ivins City
• The business experienced a loss of at least $5,000 between March 1st and June 30th, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year
• Business must be open or have a plan to reopen, at the time of application
• An owner must be 18 years or older and have a valid EIN, or SSN if Sole-Proprietor
• Business must be able to use funds before December 31, 2020, and
• Business owners must document and report on the use of funds.
This is a grant and will not be required to be repaid if funds are spent on allowable expenses. To learn more about this grant program and allowable uses please visit the CARES site at www.ivins.com\CARES.
2. Nightly Rentals in Ivins – do you agree?
Last month, I mentioned Black Desert Resort, the property that is slated for the SITLA land located on the east side of Ivins just south of Center Street at the “horse” roundabout. At the next City Council Meeting, there should be a Public Hearing on the zoning change that was approved by the Planning Commission. This is a very important Public Hearing because they are requesting approval for Resort Mixed Use and Multi-Family zoning which means they want to build homes for nightly rental directly behind a residential neighborhood. Here’s the details from the Planning Commission agenda:
Black Desert Resort is requesting a Zone Change of 113 acres from RA-5 (Residential Agricultural, minimum lot size 5 acres) to RE-37 (Residential Estates District, minimum lot size 37,000 sq. ft) R-1-7.5 (Residential Single Family, minimum lot size 7,500 sq. ft), and RMU (Resort Mixed Use District, Commercial and Multi-Family), located at approximately Puerto Drive and 400 South. SITLA-Owner. Patrick Manning-Applicant.
3. Kayenta/Crescent Moon Inn area
Terry Marten LLC is requesting a zoning change on 14.7 acres located in the Crescent Moon area south to 91. The requestor isn’t required to submit what is being planned for the property when submitting a zoning change. However, a Public Hearing should be held in the next month on this request. The property is currently zoned High Density and Commercial Light Manufacturing and the request is to drop the High Density and simply by Commercial Light Manufacturing. In addition, they are requesting a Zone Amendment from an Agricultural District with min lot size of 5 acres to Residential Single Family with min lot size 5000 sq. ft.
4. Ivins City Hall
As I mentioned last month, Ivins is building a new city hall because we’ve outgrown the existing building and we need space for the combined Ivins/Santa Clara Police Dept. The Police will take over the current city hall. The new Ivins City Hall will be built just north of the current city hall. My favorite design feature of the new city hall is a rammed earth wall which extends from the front entrance into the lobby of the building. The rammed earth wall was selected as the focal design element to represent not only Red Mountain but also the work ethic of Ivin’s earliest residents. This is what the Mayor has written about Ivins and the connection to the rammed earth wall:
“Beneath the Big Red Mountain, the Santa Clara Bench was a parched alluvial plain laced with ancient black lave flows until Ivins original settlers carved a canal from Gunlock along the mountain face in bringing water and life to a new farming community that would later become Ivins City. Red dirt, water and hard work made us what we are today and they are represented in this “rammed earth” simulated sandstone wall. And just as black lava has been underfoot of any who traveled through here so it is now the aggregate of this polished concrete floor upon which you stand. Our sandstone cliffs, red dirt and lava flows were obstacles to those who first settled here but are treasures to us now as is the legacy of their hard work and sacrifice that made possible this beautiful place we call home.”
Above are two renderings of the proposed Ivins City Hall; the first showing the exterior and front entrance and the second is an interior rendering depicting the rammed earth wall separating the foyer from the City Council chambers.
Please send me a note with any questions or concerns, you can reach me at suegordhammer@gmail.com. City Council is here to serve you and I encourage you to communicate with City Council members often. You can sign up on the City website to receive the agenda prior to each meeting and there’s a link to email all Council members.
Take care –

Petite Feast Dinner Club
PETITE FEAST’S VIRTUAL DINNER PARTY CONTINUES!
I’d like to give a shout-out to our community of Virtual Dinner Party chefs and diners. For six months, we’ve been roasting, braising, grilling, sautéing and turning out delicious, photo-worthy meals. Through our participation in this project, I believe we’ve become more confident cooks and more connected as friends and neighbors. And while I look forward to the day when we can enjoy a meal around Petite Feast’s communal tables, I am grateful for the opportunity to share these recipes and cook with you each week.
In our first recipe of the month, salmon fillets provided the perfect opportunity to experiment with a deceptively easy but sophisticated salmon roulade that had VDP chefs, Brent and Pam Layton, saying this recipe was certainly headed to their “Serve to Company” file. The following week we prepared a white bean salad with a roasted garlic vinaigrette. Weekly dinner party chefs, Lois Andrews and Betty Marianetti happily added pasta to their creations and Lois even came up with a clever time saver to roast the tomatoes and garlic together. So very smart. And for Larry Pisto, a bit of self-quarantining was evidently needed after he added the entire bulb of roasted garlic to his vinaigrette!
Our group’s favorite recipe of the month was a watermelon tomato gazpacho with shishito peppers. VDP sommeliers, Tim and Judy Terrell, served it to ‘Kayenta North’ guests at a socially distanced dinner gathering in Park City. Christy Lueders pulled off a smart ingredient swap when she subbed jalapeno for the impossible-to-find shisihito peppers the recipe called for. Her results were a bit spicier but equally delicious. And Jen Burch, who returned to Kayenta and it’s 100 degree heat, cooled off with this refreshing soup.
We finished out the month with our 24th recipe; a stove top frittata with red pepper, asparagus and goat cheese. The big deal with this recipe was the flipping technique needed to cook both top and bottom of the egg custard. I have not seen any videos (yet!) of the flipping, but I encourage you try it. It’s a fun technique to have in your tool box and it’s an impressive skill to wow friends and family.
If you are not a member of the Virtual Dinner Party Group but would like to become one, please join us through Nextdoor. If you would rather just have access to the recipes, all of them are available by clicking on the button below. I will continue to enthusiastically post weekly anticipating the time when we can dine together again.
Virtual Dinner Party RecipesPetite Feast is now taking limited reservations for our October Dinner Club. My hope is that we will be able to dine at reduced capacity outside on the patio. You can view the menu at HERE. I look forward to the time when coronavirus concerns are far behind us and we are able to enjoy the company of friends around communal tables. Until that time, be safe and cook on! – Victoria
*Please know if you purchase a ticket for October’s dinner and we need to cancel, a full refund will be given.
Get Your Story Heard!
A lot has changed recently, but one thing has remained the same. Storytelling – in all its forms – is a powerful bond that connects and unites us as individuals and communities. Through the sharing of stories, our differences matter less and our individuality is celebrated more. In these unpredictable times, Coyote Tales is committed to continue to provide the stage to share our experiences. Through these events we hope not only to entertain but to foster deeper empathy and understanding in our community.
For October 2nd’s virtual show, we are very pleased to welcome two renowned storytellers to our stage. Matthew Dicks, 50-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 6-time GRANDSLAM champion and Shannon Cason, Moth host, Main-Stage storyteller and GRANDSLAM champion will be sharing their true stories of “Chance Meetings.” While we are delighted to hear these important and amazing voices, there is room on the stage for you too.
Share your story. Please consider submitting a true, 3 minute on-theme, first person, story of a chance meeting for possible inclusion in the show. If you do, you could win a chance to level-up your storytelling game with a 60 minute private virtual storytelling workshop with Matthew Dicks. How cool is that? If you are interested in getting on stage, please contact Victoria through the Coyote Tales website.
Log on to “see” the show. On October 2nd, sign on to the Coyote Tales website and watch the stories online. Because this is a virtual event it is free and available to all. To watch the show just log on @ https://coyotetalesstories.com/
