PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning of Nick Lane
Mayor Protempore Nikas opened the Public Hearing at
5:32 p.m. to receive comments on the proposed rezoning of Nick Lane. Councilmember Piccolo reported that some
years ago, the property on the west side of Nick Lane was zoned MR7 for
Residential Development. The property
on the east side was not. The Nick family
would like to build a home on the east side, but are unable to do so because
the present zoning requires one acre minimum lots. They are requesting that the east side of the road be rezoned the
same as the west side of the road, which is an MR7, therefore, allowing
construction of the home. MOTION. There being no further comments,
Councilmember Piccolo moved that the Public Hearing be closed, that the
rezoning be approved and that Mr. Sampinos be directed to prepare the necessary
ordinance to rezone the property to an MR7.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and carried. The Public Hearing closed at 5:35 p.m.

300 EAST SEWER STUDY - Presentation By Hansen, Allen and Luce Consulting
Engineers
Ben Grimes, representing Hansen, Allen and Luce
Consulting Engineers, presented copies of the completed 300 East Sewer
Study. The area included in the study
is from approximately Smith Drive on the West to 700 East on the east side and
from the north end of town down to approximately all of eastern Price and from
there towards the south, including the main line on 300 East down to where it
discharges into Price River Water Improvement Districts main trunk line and
enters the sewer treatment plant. They
surveyed the manholes and the elevations of the flow lines of pipes, measured
sewage flows, evaluated pipe sizes, and calculated existing flows and potential
future flows considering growth in north Price. They reviewed some of the pipelines that have experienced
problems. Some of the pipelines in the
study are very old and date back to 1920.
He recommended continuing the recently implemented program of sewer
cleaning and video inspections. His
second recommendation is to develop a capital facilities plan to provide
funding for replacement of some of the older lines in areas where there are
problems. It is also recommended that
an 8" diameter pipeline which is located between manholes 32A and 33 be
reconnected to divert the upstream flows into the 8" line which is now
going to a 6" line. This should
help a backup problem. The final
recommendation is to consider a long term metering program on sewer problems so
that an accurate picture of how much flow is actually getting into the system
can be determined. There will always be
an infiltration of ground water into the sewer system. Without a metering program, you won’t know
what the rate of infiltration is. Mr.
Grimes stated that the current pipes in the ground have the capacity to handle
an additional 100 connections.
Additional new lines would eventually be needed for growth beyond
that. It was recommended that the
original committee assigned to this issue, consisting of Councilmembers Piccolo
and Denison, Gary Sonntag, and Sam White, review the study and make a
recommendation to the Council.
7.
GARY CHRISTENSEN - 505 East 500
South - Request For Irrigation Ditch, Sewer Line - Tabled
Gary Christensen, 505 East 500 South, discussed the
issue of an irrigation ditch in front of his property. He owns shares of water but can’t get the
water to his property. He has lived at
this location for 15 years. There
currently is a ditch located on the west side of the road. He asked if the City could install a culvert
under the road so that the water can he diverted to his property on the east.
Years ago, there was a ditch that actually run through an alley and the water
would come through the property of the people who lived north of him. He contacted the people above him to see if
there was a chance that he could run a ditch through their property, but no one
is willing to allow him to do that.
There is actually a culvert that comes from his property that crosses
the road. Once the water gets on his
property, he could place it back in the main ditch on the south side of the
road. Mayor Protem Nikas expressed
concern about a ditch that was once used, but now can’t be used anymore. He recommended reviewing this to determine
why. Mr. Sampinos agreed that for any
resident to terminate the use of a ditch to the detriment of downstream users
is not a proper thing to do. Mr.
Christensen also discussed a problem with the
sewer line. The main sewer line
ends about 200' feet east of his house from where it connects.. From that point, he is on a 4" line
that runs from his house diagonally across the road. Approximately 50% of the line is under the road. Three years ago when everything flooded from
the rains, the sewers filled up and he actually got backfill from the
sewer. The City came down and cleared
it up at that time and determined that the line has actually settled under the
road. Since that time, he has had the
line cleaned out 4 times. In his
contact with the City, it was suggested that the main sewer line be extended to
his house so that he can tie into it without having to run 200' diagonally
underneath the road. MOTION. Councilmember Piccolo moved that the items
be tabled for further research and placed on Unfinished Business. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and
carried.
8.
EMIL SIMONE - 359 East 2nd North (Drainage Problem) - Tabled
Emil Simone, 359 East 2nd North, stated
that there is a drainage problem in an alley behind his home. Several years ago, water from the street
used to drain in a large ditch that was located in the alley approximately 75
yards west of his home. That ditch has
been covered up. When the rain storm
occurred 3 years ago, his basement was flooded and he lost approximately $2,500
worth of carpet. He asked that
something be done to resolve this
problem. There are five homes involved
and if there is a heavy rainstorm, all of these homes will be flooded. Mr. Sonntag stated that he would check into this.
9.
CHRIS MICOZ - Purchase of Property (100 South 700 East) - Tabled
Chris Micoz, 105 South 700 East, stated that the City
approved the Bonnie J. Subdivision located behind her property. Because of the pending development, she and
her husband have been unable to make any improvements to their property for
three years. Now that the subdivision
has been approved, she was hoping that the City could deed a pie shaped piece
of property to them so that they can improve their property. If the City is able to do this, it would be
with the understanding that the developer would still be required to complete
the improvements that he agreed upon in his development plan. Councilmember Piccolo stated that the
property in question is at this point, a dedicated roadway. The Bonnie J. Subdivision indicated that
they would like to narrow the roadway as it would never become a through
roadway. Utilizing part of the road is
some of their development and as a conditional term for narrowing the road, the
City requested that access be allowed for this property, otherwise it would be
landlocked. Ms. Micoz stated that Mr.
Singleton came to them and asked them for $9,000 for improvements. However, the minutes of the Planning and
Zoning Commission indicate that Mr. Singleton agreed to take care of those
improvements. If the subdivision is not
built, then she and her husband will take care of the improvements. According to the minutes, as long as he
needs access to his subdivision, he is responsible for the improvements. Councilmember Piccolo stated that the
improvements would be covered by a development agreement with Price City and
the Bonnie J. Subdivision. They would
automatically be installed once the subdivision is built. Ms. Micoz stated that they can’t put in a driveway
or fence without knowing where their property boundaries are going to be. Gary Sonntag stated that the lot is 125'
deep. The roadway is 99' wide and 145' deep.
The subdivision is going to utilize a portion of that public
right-of-way. The city allowed the
subdivision to reduce the width of the right-of-way as long as they were able
to keep the pavement width. The road
coming out of the subdivision will be tapered to increase the width of the road
as it meets 700 East and that is what creates this pie shaped parcel being
addressed. If the City were to vacate
this wedge, it would be on the south side of the right-of-way. Mr. Sampinos stated that if this were done,
it would require a formal abandonment of that portion of the right-of-way that
is no longer necessary for the City’s purposes. Vern Jones stated that if this subdivision is not developed and
at a later date someone wants to amend the development and widen the street, it
could become a problem. If the City
wants to abandon the property, do it in such a manner that it does not take
effect until this subdivision is actually built. MOTION.
Councilmember Tatton moved that the item be tabled, researched and
placed on Unfinished Business. Motion
seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and carried.
A committee, consisting of Councilmembers Piccolo and Nikas, Mr. Jones
and Mr. Sampinos, was appointed to review the item. A meeting of this group was scheduled for Monday, June 19th
at 10:00 a.m.
10.
CARBON HIGH SWIM TEAM BOOSTER CLUB - Swimming Pool Items
Lisha Lee, President of the Carbon High Swim Team
Boosters Club, asked if the Council had made a decision regarding the purchase
of a list of swimming pool items presented at the last meeting. Councilmember Piccolo stated that the
decision was to consider what was asked for and try to budget it for the coming
year. Mayor Protem Nikas stated that
due to the transition to a new Pool Director, it was recommended that these
items be reviewed with that new person.
11.
DELYNN FIELDING - Carbon County Future
DeLynn Fielding introduced himself as the new
Director of Carbon County Future. He
expressed the need to be working together within the different entities of
Carbon County. A board meeting has
been scheduled for Wednesday, June 21s at 12:00 Noon. Some of the items that will be discussed at
the meeting is to change the name from Carbon Future to Carbon Economic
Development, expand the board to include two business representatives at large,
the Travel Council and the Chamber of Commerce. He is currently working on some initiatives and proposals and
will report on them at that meeting. He
understands the City is looking at an industrial area. He will be glad to help in any way he can.
12.
CHRISTIAN MUSIC FESTIVAL - Rental Fees Waived For Use of Pioneer Park
Dennis Waldon, representing the Christian Musical
Festival, requested permission to use Pioneer Park to conduct a Christian
Musical Festival and since it is on a volunteer basis and open to the public,
he asked if the rental fees could be waived.
The festival will be held between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. MOTION. Councilmember Tatton moved that with the
exception of hard costs, that rental fees be waived. Motion seconded by Councilmember Piccolo and carried.
13.
KIWANIS CLUB - Contribution For July 4th Fireworks Display
MOTION.
Councilmember Piccolo moved that $600 be contributed to the Kiwanis Club
for the 4th of July Fireworks Display. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and carried. The display is a benefit to all citizens of
Price City and saves the City from having to conduct a separate event.
14.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN COAL MINE RESCUE ASSOCIATION - Purchase of Ad For Rescue,
Benchman and First Aid Contest
MOTION.
Councilmember Piccolo moved that a half page ad in the amount of $65.00
be purchased for the Rocky Mountain Coal Mine Rescue, Benchman, and First Aid
Contest, and that the funds be taken out of the Transient Room Tax dedicated as
advertising for the betterment of the community by creating tourism. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and
carried.
15.
SLOVENIAN DAY ANNUAL PICNIC - Special Event Beer Permit
MOTION.
Councilmember Piccolo moved that permission be given for a special event
beer permit for the annual Slovenian Day Picnic to be held Sunday, July 16th
at Washington Park. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Wheeler and carried.
16.
JIM HUFFAKER - 187 Covecrest - Permission To Construct Wall On City
Property
Councilmember Piccolo reported that the Planning and
Zoning Commission discussed the request of Jim Huffaker, 187 Covecrest, for a
variance. This concerns a wall to be
built on a public right-of-way. There
are no utilities present at this point in time. The wall will be 4' off the back of the curb. Visibility is being considered and kept at a
maximum considering the house and the position to the street. It will be 6' from the corner of the
sidewalk to the corner of the retaining wall, which does not meet the 40' X 40'
rule. However, if this was applied, the
wall would be at the corner of his house.
Previous existing conditions that were allowed when this home was built
do not allow it to comply. A variance
is not needed in as much as what is being asked is for the construction of this
retaining wall on a public right-of-way.
The usage will be on the public right-of-way. Councilmember Piccolo stated that should the City decide to place
something in that right-of-way, who is responsible to rebuild the wall once it
is torn down? Mr. Sampinos stated that
if the City decides they want to grant this request, and if in the future, the
City ever needs to install any utilities and improvements and has to remove
that wall or any of the home owners improvements, that an agreement should be
in place between the property owner and the City indicating that the City will
not be responsible to replace them. MOTION. Councilmember Piccolo moved that the wall be
approved and that Mr. Sampinos be instructed to prepare a document that would
indicate financial and physical responsibility of the maintenance of that wall
by the property owner should utilities ever be added. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and carried.
17.
GEORGE PAPPAS - “Thank You” Award
Councilmember Tatton presented George Pappas with a
gift certificate as a “thank you” for taking it upon himself to contact Suda
Merriman, Parks Supervisor, to report theft and vandalism at Washington
Park. Mr. Tatton observed three ladies
removing parts of the rose garden south of the horse shoe pits in Washington
Park. The Council thanked Mr. Pappas
for taking the time to do this.
18.
MOUNTAIN STATES BARK - Donation To Parks Department
Councilmember Tatton reported that Mountain States
Bark donated approximately $2,000 worth of fine quality wood chips to the Parks
Department. A large quantity of these
chips will be placed in the underpass area.
He thanked Mountain States Bark for their contribution.
19.
WEED REMOVAL - Discussion
Councilmember Tatton asked the Council how far they
wanted the weed crew to go in removing weeds from city streets and
ditches? It takes a lot of man hours to
take care of all these weeds where the time could be spent elsewhere. A lot of requests come from the elderly. Councilmember Piccolo stated that perhaps a
small fee can be charged for those requests.
In a memo sent to the Council, Gary Sonntag indicated that with
continued improvements at the baseball complex, landscaping of the highway
interchanges, more manpower is needed.
Rather than hire more employees, it may be practical to use the seasonal
works in the Weed Dept. The weed
program would be cut back and weeds would no longer be controlled and cut
Citywide. A limited program could be
implemented to take care of City properties and special requests from the
elderly and disabled. Property owners
would then be responsible for the management of weeds fronting their properties
for both developed and un-developed land.
Councilmember Piccolo asked what responsibility does the City have to
maintain the property on the curb?
Councilmember Tatton referred to a piece of property where the property
owner has a 6' fence on the property line.
The asphalt goes over to the property line. There is no curb, gutter or sidewalk. The weeds were trimmed all the way to the fence. He asked if this is proper or improper? Vern Jones stated that current City
ordinance states that the property owner is responsible for the parkway. Mayor Protem Nikas recommended an education
process for the public. This ties in
with the budget and the recommendation to reduce some of the services the City
offers, some services that do not effect the health, welfare and safety of its
citizens. Councilmember Tatton stated
that Gary’s recommendation is to weed the roads to the curb line, and let the
property owner weed the parkway. Where
there is no walkway, weeds could be trimmed back approximately 5' or whatever
width a walkway would be. The weed crew
could then help plant flowers at the underpass, etc., rather than trim
parkways. Councilmember Tatton
recommended an effective date of July 1st , the new budget year, to
reduce weed cutting. Gary recommended
cutting weeds in front of City properties, along ditches to allow drainage, and
approximately 5' off the edge of the oiled road along the travel ways to
prevent safety hazards to both vehicles and pedestrians. The elderly and disabled can call for
assistance. Mayor Protem Nikas
recommended conducting an educational campaign over the next 60 days to get the
word out to the public.
20.
DRAGON FIREWORKS - Home Occupied Business Approved
Councilmember Piccolo reported that the Planning and
Zoning Commission gave a favorable recommendation to Adele Rae Beesley to
operate Dragon Fireworks from her home located at 1220 East 800 North, Apt.
#26. The fireworks will be sold at a
stand located at 700 East Main (parking lot) and will be stored at a location
in Cleveland in Emery County. MOTION. Councilmember Piccolo moved that the
business be approved upon payment of the business license fee. Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and
carried.
21.

Councilmember Piccolo stated that Price River Water
Improvement District requires a sampling manhole for Darlene’s Day Care. Ms. Harvel agreed to do this or provide a
feasible study to prove that the manhole would jeopardize her business. The Commission recommended a six month
temporary permit on the sampling manhole.
Councilmember Piccolo moved that the requests be approved and that
Conditional Use Permits be issued.
Motion seconded by Councilmember Wheeler and carried.
22.
SUPREME MUFFLER AND BRAKE - 911 East 100 North - Conditional Use Permit
Councilmember Piccolo presented the following item
but noted that the property belongs to him. His business, Supreme Muffler and
Brake (car care center), has a temporary Conditional Use Permit for an unpaved
parking lot on the west side of the property that expires on June 25,
2000. Planning and Zoning Commission
gave a favorable recommendation to extend the temporary use permit for an
additional 14 months. MOTION. Councilmember Wheeler moved that the

36.
400 WEST PARK - Permission To Request Vacating 100 North (South)
Frontage Road
Gary Sonntag discussed the design and development of
the 400 West Park. As the design was
reviewed, it became obvious that it would be to the City’s advantage to expand
the size of this over to the side of the overpass, which would incorporate UDOT
property and possibly Carbon County property.

Mayor Protem Nikas opened the Public Hearing at 8:06
p.m. to receive public comments on the proposed budget for FY2000/2001. Councilmember Denison asked about the
purchase of a lawn mower in the amount of $3,800 for maintenance of the Peace
Garden? Do we need to spend that much
or can we can buy a less expensive mower?
Councilmember Piccolo recommended that the Parks Dept. cut the lawn at
the Peace Garden. Councilmember Wheeler
stated that the City Hall group has taken on a lot more responsibility with the
different buildings and they want to continue maintaining the Peace
Garden. If they continue to maintain
