5. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - EXPANSION & SIGN

CASTLEVIEW HOSPITAL

OUTPATIENT EXPANSION

300 NORTH HOSPITAL DRIVE

JEFF FRANDSEN & CLAY LARSEN

Jeff Frandsen and Clay Larsen appeared on behalf of Castleview Hospital. The approval tonight is for the expansion only. They will return for approval of the sign at a later date. The Price City Building and Engineering Departments have reviewed all building plans, landscaping and parking and find them satisfactory. All other problems have been solved. Joe Piccolo asked if the new expansion would be serviced by UP&L or Price City. Mr. Jones indicated it is, at this time, being supplied by UP&L, but they are working to change this arrangement. All other hospital buildings are serviced by Price City. The official ground breaking will be on July 7 and construction will be concluded in March, 2001. There were no other questions or concerns and Joe Piccolo moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Outpatient Expansion for Castleview Hospital. Larry Bruno seconded and the motion carried. Mr. Piccolo thanked Castleview Hospital for making this investment in the community and providing good care to the citizens of Price.

6. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - BUSINESS & SIGN

DARLENE’S DAY CARE

130 NORTH 200 EAST

DARLENE HARVEL, OWNER

Ms. Harvel told the Commission the building at her present location has been sold and she must vacate as soon as possible. She is buying the building at the above address, so this will be a permanent location. Adjacent property owner Sandy Senor has given her access to the property behind his house for additional parking, providing more than adequate parking space. The sign is a pre-existing sign that meets the sign code and only the copy will be changed. Discussion began on the PRWID recommendation of installation of a 6" sewer lateral and a sampling manhole. Joe Piccolo indicated this is a Price City Ordinance and suggests they do the installation prior to moving into the building. Ms. Harvel feels she does not really need these items because of the nature of her business, but if they are required, she will install them. Mr. Piccolo asked if she would check on the expense of the installation and let him know the cost. Vern Jones recommended a six month leeway on installation and allowing her to move into the building. If installation is feasible, it will be done; if she decides not to do it, she will re-appear before the Commission and let them know why it will not be installed. There were no other concerns or questions and Gary Lyon moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit - Business and Sign for Darlene’s Day Care, contingent upon the sampling manhole and 6" sewer lateral to be studied for range of feasibility or, to return to the Price City Planning and Zoning Commission and inform them as to why the sampling manhole and 6" sewer lateral cannot be installed. Alfred Richens seconded and the motion carried.

7. EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY USE PERMIT - 12 MONTHS

CAR CARE CENTER

REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY USE OF WEST SIDE

UNPAVED PARKING LOT

JOE PICCOLO

Commission Member Joe Piccolo stepped down regarding this issue due to a conflict of interest. He told the Commission his Temporary Use Permit expires on June 25, 2000 and his parking lot is not paved. He has made some other improvements in the parking lot, consisting of another enlarged area that sits behind the tire shop. It requires some concrete work before it can be paved and he would like to pave the entire lot all at once.

He is requesting a one year extension of his Temporary Use Permit. Following discussion, it was decided a longer period of time is needed to include the warm weather months, and the period of time was increased to 14 months. This will include the curb and gutter on 100 North and finishing of the street. There was no further discussion on the matter and Alfred Richens made a motion to extend the Temporary Use Permit for Car Care Center - paving of the parking lot for a period of 14 months, to expire on August 31, 200l. Gary Lyon seconded and the motion carried.

8. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL

JIM HUFFAKER

187 COVECREST

CONSTRUCTION OF RETAINING WALL

WITHIN EXISTING EASEMENT

Price City Engineer Gary Sonntag requested this be presented to Planning and Zoning, however, Vern Jones explained that what Mr. Huffaker wants to do is not compliant. He does not need a variance, only approval from the Price City Council to build into the right-of-way. There is a 50' right-of-way and the property line is approximately 8' away from the curb. Mr. Huffaker wants to build retaining walls about 4' on the right-of-way and explained he wanted to remove as little foundation dirt as possible and add some to it to retain that level. The basic front yard rolls off to the south. Building Inspector Bob Bennett told the Commission the condition is already pre-existing as the hill has been there since the house was built. If he were to meet the 40' clear view triangle at the intersection, it would almost come to the corner of his house. He has a pre-existing condition on a previous plat that allows for 20 feet. Mr. Huffaker called attention to the attached picture showing the hill going right down to the curb. He would like to remove 4 feet of dirt before he begins the wall, actually removing some of the existing dirt and start the rounding of the wall much sooner than shown on the photograph to help increase visibility. The height of the first level will be 4 ‘, dropping back to 6' and beginning another 4' wall. The total level height from the corner of the house will be about 8'. Alfred Richens asked how many square feet of right-of-way will be used and will it require Price City to deed the footage to Mr. Huffaker. Mr. Huffaker indicated he had not figured square footage. Vern Jones recommended a use of easement document instead of a deed. Discussion was held on the location of utilities in the area and it was determined they would not be affected. Mr. Piccolo asked Mr. Huffaker what he would do if, in the future, Price City had to remove the wall for some reason. Would he be responsible?

Mr. Huffaker replied the possibility of this happening was one of the reasons he choose the block wall. It would be simple to remove a section of wall, do what is necessary and replace the brick. The labor to replace the brick would be his responsibility. Cement walls would be costly to install and replace. Mr. Piccolo agreed this was a good solution, but he feels it is in order to document the fact that the resident, Mr. Huffaker, is giving up the authority and the right to have Price City maintain this property. Following some discussion, Vern Jones told the Commission they need not act on this matter. It will be sent to Price City Council for their review and approval at the next Price City Council Meeting. Chairman Angotti thanked Mr. Huffaker for his time and attendance.
