6. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

CASTLE VALLEY SERVICES

SNOWIE SHAVED ICE BOOTH

APPROXIMATELY 140-180 N CEDAR HILLS DRIVE

LILLIAN GOLD

Ms. Gold indicated the booth has now been moved to a more suitable location at the same address. Initially, the previous location was too close to the curb creating an unsafe condition and inhibiting traffic visibility and promoting traffic congestion. The new location allows people to pull off the main road and safely park. However, there is concern about people parking along Cedar Hills Drive and creating a safety problem. It was suggested that either the booth be moved twenty-five feet back along the property line or, if left at the present location, to maintain the curb and paint it red indicating a no parking zone for some distance on both sides of the corner. This will make it easier for patrons to drive in rather than to park along the curb. Following discussion on the matter, it was decided to have the curb painted red 40 feet up the street and 10 feet in from the public right-of-way. The matter of sidewalk vending was also brought up before the Commission. Joe Piccolo asked Mr. Duzenack if a business has to be a specific business to do sidewalk vending or can sidewalk vending be done in certain areas as long as they have a Food Handlers Permit. Mr. Duzenack indicated he was unclear on the ordinance and would check into it and report back.

All other concerns for Snowie Shaved Ice were met and Joe Piccolo made a motion to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit for Castle Valley Services to open their Snowie Shaved Ice Booth, contingent upon the requirement that they paint the curb red to indicate no parking will take place for 40 feet up Cedar Hills Drive and 10 feet into the private drive past the sidewalk.

Gary Lyon opened discussion on the motion asking if this motion is subject to law enforcement approval or can it be done arbitrarily. Mr. Piccolo indicated there should not be any parking in that area regardless of the red curb because of Price City Codes. He feels this is a liability issue rather than an enforcement issue. It is being done to deter liability that might occur because of the close proximity to the corner and limited visibility. If there should be an accident at that location, the customer could not then say they were unaware that parking is not allowed on the corner because the red curb would be in place. Therefore, Price City has indicated, by the use of the red curb, there will be no parking. If they choose to disobey the law and there is an accident caused by the customer, the liability then falls on the customer rather than Price City. There was no further discussion and Larry Bruno seconded and the motion carried.
