IV        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- DEDICATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF ROAD

            1365 SOUTH CARBON AVE.-TRAVIS LUDLOW, CV LLC-645 N. MAIN, NEPHI.

            Travis Ludlow and Steve Ludlow presented this request. Utah Highway Patrol Building and Adult Probation Building locations have one access now and this request would allow for a new and improved road owned by The Ballard Family. This road would allow for a new entrance into the facilities therefore creating two access roads. The 66’ right of way of improved road would then be dedicated to Price City and given the name of “Ballard Lane” and 1375 South Carbon Ave.  The development agreement with Mr. Ballard would include utilities to the far East of the property. A street sign, stop sign and two street lights will be added to this road as part of the improvements. A third light will be installed when another building is built. The road would be continued to the East boundary with permission from Ballard’s as more property would be necessary to accommodate any additional road.  A painted center line needs to be added per city requirements. A development agreement needs to be done with all of the easements as well as a ground dedication to the City. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit for the CVLLC road improvement was made by Alfred Richens. Gary Lyon seconded the favorable motion. Motion Carried.

 

V         CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- BUSINESS & SIGN FINAL

            PRESTIGE WIRELESS, 63 E. MAIN STREET- AARON JOHNSON, OWNER.

            Richard Homer and Aaron Johnson presented this request. Requiring a business license and sign for this Cellular One phone business. A temporary sign is presently attached to the building until the purchase of Cellular One is complete as a large corporation dealership. The sign would then change to a permanent backlit sign. This sign will be completed approximately in the middle of August. The dimensions of the sign are approximately 4’ x 16’ and will be hung above the front window on the brick where other signs have previously hung. Electricity is readily available now. This will be a facial mount sign hung by a professional sign business.  A fire inspection of the building needs to be done by the Fire Marshall due to a change of ownership in businesses not owner of building.  Fire extinguishers are located in the building. A Price City tree is located directly in front of the building which hides their sign on the front of their store. They are using a large inflatable shaped phone which is located on the sidewalk in front of the building being used as advertising for Prestige Wireless. This type of advertising is not allowed in Price City limits and needs to be removed. Price City allows temporary signs only for advertising and if free standing it must be 4 foot high or less. The inflatable phone is approximately 8’ tall. Approval is necessary for any signs in the City right of way.  Prestige would like to have a popsicle type sign in the pedestrian walkway measuring approximately 2 x 3 ½ as a temporary use until the building sign is complete. Staff is recommending approval of this business and sign. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit and a Four Week Temporary “popsicle” sidewalk sign was made by Frankie Sacco contingent on a Fire Inspection. Alfred Richens seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

VI        HOME OCCUPIED BUSINESS-HANDYMAN CONSTRUCTION-FINAL

            HANDY MATT-MATTHEW BULLOCK, OWNER-370 N. 100 E.

            Matthew Bullock presented this request. A handyman license requires no more than $1000.00 total       value of job being done including material and labor. Mr. Bullock understands this request and is       working on receiving his contractor’s license. This business will not use a sign and will use word of mouth advertising only. Staff recommends approval for this Home Occupied Business. A   favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Final by Penny Sampinos. Seconded by Gary        Lyon. Motion Carried.

 

VII      CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- SANCTUARY ADDITION-CONCEPT ONLY

PRICE CHAPEL-DAN SAMUELSON, SR. PASTOR-611 W. PRICE RIVER DR.

Dan Samuelson presented this request. Due to lack of space the Chapel would like to create an addition to the existing building. This will be a 7,000 square foot addition to handle the growing congregation. The Commission wanted to know if the parking for this new addition would be adequate to handle this expansion. Price Chapel has a written agreement with the Forest Service to use their parking spaces on the weekend when they are not in business. This allows 46 extra spaces for the Chapel. They will also be allowed to utilize the property owned by UDOT which would allow for 70 additional spaces. Currently there are two 40’ easements that service all property owners surrounding the Chapel; one comes in from the West and one from the South for common use of all adjoining owners. The easements are being parked in which limits the church members from getting in and out of their building. Once the addition is added, owners would be notified as to leaving easements open 24/7 for traffic use. The City requirement for a parking lot for this Chapel is based on a 3 to 1 ratio-one parking space per every three people seated in meeting room. This new addition would allow for 325 people. With the borrowed spaces, parking would be more than adequate. The UDOT parking is undeveloped right now, along northern property line of church property, between northern boundary and bulkhead of church property. It is leveled out with loose gravel at this time. With the in-city off street parking requirements the surfaces needs to be an impermeable hard surface.  Staff is recommending this concept approval as PRWID has been contacted and will have no requirements for this project. A favorable motion was made by Alfred Richens for this Conditional Use Permit Concept Only. Jeanne McEvoy seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

VIII     CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-BUSINESS REMODEL AND SIGN FINAL

            SRMR PROPERTIES-DOUG RASMUSSEN, PARTNER-294 EAST 100 SOUTH

            Relocating and remodel of 294 North 100 South property (old Denison Building). SRMR will use          all but 3 offices on bottom floor which may be leased out at a later date. Entire building needs to             be remodeled. Staff is recommending approval for this request.  A favorable motion was made by        Gary Lyon for this Conditional Use Permit Remodel. Penny Sampinos seconded the motion.          Motion Carried.

 

IX        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- TEMPORARY USE OF PORTABLE CLASSROOMS PINNACLE CANYON ACADEMY-ROBERTA HARDY-210 NORTH 600 EAST

            Melissa Jeppson, School Board President presented this request.  Due to the late starting time on construction of Pinnacle Canyon Academy into the old Notre Dame School a request for temporary use of portable classrooms is required.  Pinnacle Canyon Academy owns 12 portable classrooms that will be set up on the property, re-painted and carpeted for presentation and used for classrooms in the year 2005-2006. The portable buildings will be set up on the North side in the parking lot instead of the playground area as previously presented to the Building Official. The buildings will be placed as close to the Notre Dame School as code allows to keep the construction away from the children.  The portable buildings will be put into place on the week of July 20th and will stay there as long as the Commission and permit allows. Betty Wheeler was there with neighborhood concerns as she lives across the street. Her concerns were regarding the schools release time, children safety and the cosmetic look of the portable buildings across from her home.  All of this information had already been addressed and approval was given at an earlier meeting.  The only information to be addressed at this meeting was the approval of portable classrooms.  The children will be fed in the current gym until the cafeteria is completed. School will begin on the Tuesday after Labor Day of 2005. A favorable motion was made by Alfred Richens for this Conditional Use Permit for temporary use of portable classrooms not to exceed two years. Seconded by Penny Sampinos. Motion carried.

 

X         CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-AMENDMENT-FINAL

            SUTHERLANDS-WAYNE CLAUSING, MANAGER -406 S. HIGHWAY 55

            PARKING LOT CHANGE TO FARMERS MARKET

            Wayne Clausing presented this request.  Sutherlands is requesting the use of the parking along

            Highway 55 for a Farmer’s/Crafters Market on Saturdays only and a parking lot amendment to the        existing parking lot.  Proposed hours for the Farmer’s Market would be from approximately 10             a.m. until 4 p.m.  Possible time frame would be the growing harvest season of August through        September. Crafter’s and Artists booths would be included in the market.  A (visible) business       license is necessary for each vendor whether it is from Price City or the city they are from (open to all surrounding cities).  Sutherland’s restrooms can be used for the Farmer’s Market customers.              Staff is recommending approval due to the use of a home improvement center’s use of the parking         lot compared to a larger shopping center such as Walmart would require. Staff compared the         parking requirement to that of a furniture store and feels that a parking reduction will be       acceptable as Sutherland’s has ample parking at this time. A favorable motion was made by Gary     Lyon for this Conditional Use Permit Farmer’s Market and Parking Lot amendment minimum of       120 spaces.  Seconded by Alfred Richens. Motion Carried.

 

XI        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT & REZONE

            RAY MORLEY-PRICE RIVER DRIVE BUSINESS PARK

            Ray Morley presented this request. A re-zone is the only thing that can be acted on at this          time. Staff review determined that a lot line adjustment will not fit the request as there will be a       new building lot created. This request will require a Subdivision Plat Amendment.  The request      for a zone change can proceed as this property adjoins the M-D zone. The change to M-D will   eliminate the requirement to have a minimum ¾ acre lot and will allow the developer to create a            lot that fits the proposed project. Staff therefore recommends approval on the zone change only.             There will have to be a public hearing to address the lot-line adjustment.  A favorable motion     was made by Alfred Richens for this Conditional Use Permit Re-zone change to an M-D zone.          Seconded by Penny Sampinos. Motion Carried.

 

IX        STAFF – A motion to nominate Larry Bruno Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission was made by Gary Lyon. Alfred Richens seconded the motion. Motion carried. Gary Lyon was nominated for Vice-Chairman by Larry Bruno. Alfred Richens seconded the nomination. Motion Carried.  Both positions were accepted.  Names were given for a commission replacement position and given as follows: Ed Shook, Tony Bueno, John Marchino and Jerry Fry. The names will be given to the Mayor for contact and then to the City Council for approval of all names and nominations.

           

There was no further business and Gary Lyon moved to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 P.M.
