IX.              CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - TEMPORARY A-FRAME SIGNS

VARIOUS LOCATIONS

There was some concern that some of the signs may be in the public right-of-way.  Ms. Nyffler said she would move some sign locations if necessary in order to avoid blocking public right-of-way.  Alfred Richens moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Council for the use of the Temporary A-Frame signs for Castle Valley Community Theater.  Frankie Sacco seconded and the motion was carried.

(BANASKY INSURANCE AGENCY - CONCEPT CONTINUED)                       

Mr. Banasky indicated plans to allow extra parking spaces to be used by other Downtown businesses. The existing sign poles would most likely be used for any new signage. He hopes to have the present building demolished by early Spring 2003 and have the new building ready for occupation by the end of Summer 2003.  There was also discussion concerning the entrances.  Mr Banasky indicated plans to rid of the East access on Main Street and move the Carbon Avenue access north and shorten it.  Gary Lyon made a motion to forward a favorable recommendation to Council for this concept.  Alfred Richens seconded and the motion was carried.  

 

 

XI.              STAFF

 

A)                ANNEXATION POLICY PLAN

 

Nick Tatton explained there are currently no annexation petitions taking place in Price City but that a plan must be in place in order to accept a petition.  He indicated any annexation would most likely require improvements such as streets, sewer and purchasing electrical distribution from Utah Power and possibly extra police patrol.  He explained this meeting (January 21,2003) is the first step in a four-step process of approving the Plan.  The next step is scheduling a public hearing in the Planning and Zoning meeting on March 24, 2003.  It would then go to Council to be reviewed and/or revised.  The last step would be the policy approval meeting.  An official copy of the Plan, once approved, would be sent to Carbon County Planning and Zoning so that any new development would first be approved by Price City in order to avoid overlapping zoning.  Written comment concerning this plan will be accepted for ten days from today (January 21, 2003).   

 

B)                 UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

A question was raised concerning the storage containers at Wal Mart.  Francis Duzenack informed the Commission the containers are to be removed by February 2, 2003.
