X             CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-AMENDMENT-FINAL

                521 SOUTH HIGHWAY 55 – FOUR SEASONS HOMES- TONY BASSO, OWNER

Nick Tatton presented this request for Tony Basso and Kevin Pritchett. Four Seasons Homes has found a need to use the property immediately south (521 South Highway 55) of 4 Season Homes (495 South Highway 55) across from Fausett Lane for temporary transfer/staging for homes that have been sold. The homes that are purchased, in many cases, will not fit on the existing permitted property while they await transfer to the final home site. This process takes between one and 14 days. This request will be an amendment to their CUP to permit the temporary staging and transfer of homes on the vacant property. Staff recommends approval of this amendment to the CUP. If this use should change from temporary to permanent then the temporary permit must be revoked with the matter revisited by the Planning and Zoning Commission for issuance of additional conditions relative to the use including required site improvements. The Commission would like to make sure that dust does not become an issue and would like to set an 18 month review of the lot. The 18 months will provide enough time for the business and the City to see the possible outcome of transferring homes in and out and whether the lot needs to be a permanent solution.  Commissioner Nielson does not want to require pavement of the lot until the use is determined. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner Richens to approve the Conditional Use Permit Amendment Final for Four Seasons Homes with a review of the lot use and surface condition in 18 months and contingent upon dust control at the site. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sampinos and carried.

 

XI           CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-TEMPORARY BUILDINGS/STREET

                IMPROVEMENTS-REVIEW AND POSSIBLE FINAL-210 NORTH 600 E. – PINNACLE

                CANYON ACADEMY, ROBERTA HARDY-CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER

The Conditional Use Permit for Pinnacle Canyon Academy relative to use of temporary classrooms will expire on July 11, 2007 (2 year period). Roberta Hardy would like to leave the buildings on the lot permanently for classroom use and add stucco or brick to create an aesthetic balance.  Eventually, the school will be extended up on the hill to the east with parking and a High School. If the temporary buildings are removed, the elementary students would be added in with the High School and approximately 20 parking spaces would be lost. The 2 year period allowed by Planning and Zoning was to allow the school to be remodeled with an addition. At the time the Commission set the two year limit on the temporary classrooms, a High School was not in the future plans. The school has now outgrown the new building and the temporary buildings are necessary. Mrs. Hardy stated that the buildings are mounted to the ground in a permanent manner as required by the previous Building Official, Francis Duzenack.  There is blacktop underneath the buildings that could be used for parking if the temporary classrooms are removed which would solve the parking problem. The problem of where to put the children would then become the issue. Staff recommended addressing the temporary classroom issue via: 1) a new Conditional Use Permit must be issued with time lines regarding any potential continued use; or (2) the temporary classrooms must be removed; or (3) extension of the existing CUP. Additionally, development matters relative to required public infrastructure continue to exist along the north and south property boundary. The school does not own the property on 300 north and does not have the money to finish the development requirements as previously agreed to with a development agreement with Price City. Mrs. Hardy stated that the school does not want to own the property so they won’t have to pay for the improvements. If the curb, gutter and sidewalk were to be improved on 300 North, the school would again, lose some of their parking. The school would like to continue getting along with all of the surrounding neighbors and not have employee vehicles parked in front of homes. They have just recently completed the school and the road on 200 North and have run out of money. Mrs. Hardy reported that the school completed more than necessary on 600 East and are satisfied with the way things turned out on all sides of the property. The 300 North curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements are a part of the original Conditional Use Permit and are required by code. In order to complete the improvements, the $45,000 bond may need to be tagged for restitution and Price City would complete the improvements. Zena Robinson, an employee of Pinnacle Canyon stated that her son lives across the street and is worried that if there is not available parking on the property that everyone will be parking in front of surrounding homes including her son’s home. Until the funding is available to complete the property on the hill with more parking and a new building for the High School, the options for improvements and moving the temporary buildings are limited. At the last Planning and Zoning meeting in June, 2007, Mrs. Hardy will inform the surrounding neighbors of this issue and bring either letters or the neighbors to provide comment to the Commission. A two year extension on the temporary buildings would be very helpful and would give the school additional time to receive more funding. Mrs. Hardy stated that the school has 480 students with a two year growth of 525 students. The elementary section of the school will not grow. Each grade can take 40 students maximum with 28 in each grade at this time. Staff recommends that if the Commission grants another extension that the development issue is also included. Also, give Mrs. Hardy until the June, 2007 meeting to come up with a plan to fix the property line and plat issue, the 300 and 200 north issues, potential parking and construction of school on the hill. Both the Commission and the school will need to come to an agreement to then forward to the City Council. Mrs. Hardy felt that the time allowance to work on a plan was fair. MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner Shook to table the item until the June 25, 2007 Planning and Zoning meeting where Mrs. Hardy will bring the future plans for the school and property. Motion seconded by Commissioner Richens and carried.

XIII        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- STORAGE UNITS- FINAL

121 NORTH CARBONVILLE ROAD- WASATCH PORTABLE STORAGE-CHRIS KITCHEN, MANAGER

Mr. Chris Kitchen of Wasatch Portable Storage was contacted after Price City received a complaint regarding un-permitted container storage units located at 135 South 1060 West (Market Express). The storage containers may be permitted in the zone under Section 11.3.9.11.1 of the Price City Land Use Management and Development Code. This section provides for “temporary, up to 1 year, shipping/storage containers and truck trailers/boxes and other un-permitted storage uses.” At this time, the containers are stacked to the west of the existing Market Express buildings. Commission recommends items to include:

·         Limitations on numbers and/or sizes of containers available for “display”-only one unit of each size allowed-no more than four

·         Requirement for hard surfacing of sales lot consistent with other use requirements

·         Installation of sight obscuring fencing around storage/sales lot-high enough to cover units

·         Conformance with other storage facility requirements as indicated in Section 11.3.9.11 of the Price City Land Use Management and Development code

·         Limitations on time for permitting beyond the 1 year indicated in the Code

·         Sign to be kept within code- administrative permitting required

·         September 20, 2007 time allotment

·         Conditions need to be stated to individuals purchasing the storage units as they are only allowed for temporary use in a CD zone.

This business is a reciprocal business which does not require a Price City business license as they are licensed elsewhere. Concerns from the Commission included the entrance to the City becoming an eyesore for visitors.

MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Commissioner Shook to approve the Conditional Use Permit Concept and Preliminary only on a trial basis only with compliance of the following requirements: one unit of each size for display and no more than four, a 8’ sight obscuring fence, hard asphalt surface, signage requirements by code, payment of necessary fees to City and the completion date set for no later than September 30, 2007. Motion seconded by Commissioner Richens and carried.

 

Commission Nielson abstained from commenting on the next agenda item and declared a conflict of interest. The conflict was noted for the record.

XIV        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- NEW SUBDIVISION- CONCEPT ONLY

                CAVE HOLLOW- 300 EAST NORTH END- DAYSPRING DEVELOPERS                                                                    

Keith Cox presented this request for concept approval for the Cave Hollow Subdivision situated within the SF-12 zone at approximately 1400 North 300 East for 38 lots. The developers goal is have concept approval for all 38 lots and to move along on the first phase of 4 lots as finances allow. Homes in the subdivision must be stick built.
