VIII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - FINAL
404 SOUTH CARBON AVENUE
MILLER=S EQUIPMENT, FARM AND GARDEN SUPPLIES
HANS MILLER, OWNER
In the February 23, 2004 Planning and Zoning Meeting, the Commission requested that the issues with Judge Storrs and Juanita Richard concerning property maintenance be taken care of. Mr. Miller stated as soon as the snow was gone, the vehicles would be removed and the property cleaned up. He also stated no vehicles would be stored behind the home. The Commission informed Mr. Miller he must pay for the concrete replacement with Price City before a Conditional Use Permit will be issued. The Commission also requested that Price City get the concrete replacement completed during this 2004 season. It was stated there should be no major rebuild or repairs done on the premises and it be retail sales of ready to sell equipment only. Mr. Miller stated he has no plans to do repairs from this location. There was some concern about the parking slots on Carbon Avenue facing the wrong direction to allow parking by vehicles traveling South on Carbon Avenue.

(CUP - MILLER=S EQUIPMENT, CONTINUED)
Francis Duzenack explained there is driveway access from the South end of the property to those parking spaces and the reason they were positioned as such was to allow more visibility on the corner of Carbon Avenue and 400 South. Mr. Miller said he will install a sprinkling system for the grass landscaping. The sign will be a banner sign similar to the one used for the business that occupied the building in the past. Gary Lyon moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council contingent upon the concrete replacement being paid in full, no major repairs being done on the property, the business be for retail sales of ready to sell equipment only and the property maintenance issues with Price City=s Hearing Officer and Judge Storrs be satisfied. Larry Bruno seconded and the motion carried.
IX. PUBLIC HEARING FOR GENERAL PLAN APPROVAL
Mr. Ken Young, Planning
Consultant, made a presentation of the maps included in the Price City General
Plan and did a quick review of Chapters and topics. He asked for public comment or
recommendation. Mr. Jim Marrs suggested
changing the City Motto from APrice,
the heart of Castle Country@
to APrice, the heart of Utah=s Castle Country@
in order to better clarify where Price is.
The Commission members agreed it was a good idea to make the suggested
change. Mr. Marrs was concerned that
there was no reference to the College of Eastern Utah in the General Plan. Mr. Young explained Price City and CEU are working
together on some projects but they are still in very early stages. He suggested the Plan be amended as projects
develop with more reference to CEU and the CEU/Price City combined
projects. Alfred Richens moved to
recommend approval of Planning and Zoning Resolution 2004-01 (attached),
supporting the General Plan. Gary Lyon
seconded and the motion carried.
X.
STAFF
A. Francis Duzenack presented a plan for preliminary approval to open an upscale clothing consignment store in the old Allstate Building on 200 West. There are some parking spaces in front of the building and a gravel parking lot in the back of the building. The lot is not hard surfaced due to a deal made between Price City and the property owners several years ago. The Commission gave a head nod and the application will be presented at the next Planning and Zoning meeting.
B. Price City=s Mayor requested changing the Planning and Zoning meetings from the second and fourth Monday of each month to the first and third Wednesday. After much discussion, it was decided it would be best for everyone to keep the meetings on Mondays. That would make the meetings the first and third Monday of each month, still at 6:00 PM. Everyone agreed to try this schedule and if any changes need to be made in the future, it will be re-discussed.
