IV CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- AMENDMENT-
FINAL
528 SO. HIGHWAY 55- EXTREME
AUTOMOTIVE - PAUL SIMMONS, MANAGER
Paul
Simmons presented this request for an amendment to the current Conditional Use
Permit of Extreme Automotive to accommodate automotive sales. The business
currently does automotive bodywork, repair and painting. The amendment would
allow for the current property and the additional lot next to Extreme
Automotive to be used for Price Truck Sales owned by Tony Basso. The additional
lot will require a hard surface which the property owner, Tony Basso, will have
completed over the next several months, relative to weather conditions and
contractor availability. The business
will be run as two separate entities with the appropriate licensing. Mad Man
Basso Sales will be a different dealer license. Mr. Simmons reported that the state
has inspected the dealership and Extreme Automotive and everything is in order.
Extreme Automotive will repair the vehicles and prepare them for sale for Price
Truck Sales. The amendment would allow
for the frontage and side property of Extreme Automotive to be used for Price
Truck Sales displays and interaction, adding an element of activity to the
property not originally permitted. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner
Richens to approve the Conditional Use Permit Amendment Final contingent upon
completion of surfacing improvements to the lot within 12 months and to include
all required public improvements per City development code. Commissioner
Sampinos seconded the motion. Motion carried.
V CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – BUSINESS
AND SIGN – FINAL
790 N. CEDAR HILLS DRIVE – IMAGINATION
STATION PRESCHOOL- TRACY UDINK, OWNER
Tracy
Udink presented a request for a Conditional Use Permit Business and Sign Final
for a preschool to be located at 790
North Cedar Hills Drive (formerly Swifts
Stop-n-Shop). The Building Inspector has inspected the building and given the
list to Ms. Udink. The property owner
is working on the inspectors list which included some electrical items and ADA bathroom renovations.
The Fire Chief has not yet inspected the building and will need to do so before
the preschool opens. This building is a temporary location for the preschool to
operate from while Ms. Udink is looking for a permanent building for the preschool.
She would like a 12 month Conditional Use Permit for this building which will
give her enough time to re-locate her business. At that time, Ms. Udink will be
subject to submission of information relative to the proposed permanent
location and pay the additional fees that will incur with a new building and
Conditional Use Permit. Ms. Udink stated that preschools are not required to
have a license or a food handler’s permit. A 4’ chain link fence will be placed
around the back of the building to replace the wooden fence that has fallen
apart which will provide a closed in area from the street. Ms. Udink stated
that there will not be a play area as the children are only there two hours a
day and do not need a playground. The traffic flow for the area will not be a
problem as the preschool hours will be offset from the surrounding schools.
There are two entrances into the building’s parking lot for exiting and
entering. School will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. There are still
underground fuel tanks that are neutralized every year to keep them from being
harmful. The gas pumps have been removed leaving only the canopy and island.
The sign for the building will cover the existing 4x4 sign. The sign will not
be lit. Landscaping will be added as the weather changes for aesthetics to the
property. The owner’s are being very helpful as to the maintenance and
renovation of the property. The corner sign will be removed, and the walk in
coolers will be locked at all times and only used for storage. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner
Nielson to approve the Conditional Use Permit Business and Sign Final for 12
months (for the building) contingent on an inspection from the Price City Fire
Chief. Commissioner Richens seconded the motion. Motion carried
VI CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT - CONCEPT ONLY
1481
EAST NELSON LANE-150 SOUTH – COMMUNITY HOUSING SERVICES INC. – KEN PATTERSON
Ken
Patterson joined this meeting via phone conference as he was unable to
personally attend the meeting. This new development will be a 33 unit housing
project for low income, elderly citizens of 63 years of age and older. The
qualifications were set based on the growing baby boomers population living
below the poverty level. This is an independent, HUD 202 living solution for
the elderly. The building will be a two-story structure with two sets of stairs.
The company owns the Wedgewood Villa
housing project in Price and 7 other units in Utah. Commissioners were concerned with the second
floor and how the elderly tenants would escape the building if a fire were to
start. Mr. Patterson stated that the building will be equipped with an elevator
and generally allows only ambulatory persons to live on the second floor. The
buildings are equipped with standard evacuation plans for all buildings. The
units are all equipped with sprinkler systems to meet state fire codes. Staff
recommendations are as follows: storm water drainage plan, a soil study,
fencing size/type around development, location and connection to utilities,
full size development map completed and submitted to Price City
and submission of a separate application for subdivision of the property before
a final can be issued. Additionally, all zoning fees must be remitted as soon
as possible and prior to final approval. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner
Shook to approve the Conditional Use Permit Concept Only contingent upon staff
recommendations as listed. Commissioner Nielson seconded the motion. Motion
carried
