I MINUTES OF NOVEMBER
8, 1999
Larry Bruno referred the Commission to Item II - KDM Sales and
Design. The motion should read as
follows: “Larry Bruno moved to forward a favorable recommendation to

II CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGNS
PRICE RIVER VALLEY LOAN - THINGS & STUFF
82 NORTH 100 WEST
LLOYD KESSLER
Mr. Kessler appeared before the Commission to explain that he would
like to install vinyl banner signs on his building. He would like to see how his business proceeds before installing
permanent signs. There are no concerns,
as the signs meet the size requirements.
However, there was some discussion on whether or not this should be a
Temporary Conditional Use Permit.
Francis Duzenack indicated that temporary signs could be installed for a period of up to

two years.
Mr. Kessler indicated he would like to have at least 18 months time
to use the banner signs and, if all
goes well, will return to
Planning and Zoning for
permanent signs. Penny Sampinos moved to forward a favorable recommendation to
Price City Council for the Temporary Conditional Use Permit - Signs for Price River Valley Loan - Things
and Stuff for a period of eighteen months.
Larry Bruno seconded and the motion carried.
III CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT - SIGN
RAIN CHECK
19 EAST MAIN
BONA SIGNS
A representative for Bona Signs was unable to
attend and the presentation was made by Francis Duzenack. The 6' x 8' sign meets all the size
requirements and will mount on the store front. There were no concerns or questions and Larry Bruno moved to forward
a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit
- Sign for Rain Check. Penny Sampinos
seconded and the motion carried.
IV CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT - A FRAME SIGNS
GLOBAL VOLUNTEER DAY - FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES
SAFETY FAIR
NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY
GARTH LARSEN
Mr. Larsen was unable to attend and Francis Duzenack made the
presentation. They have six or seven
A-frame signs to direct people to the Safety Fair being held at the National
Guard Armory. The signs will only be up
for 24 hours. There was some discussion
on the tolerance of A-frame signs. Joe
Piccolo indicated that the Commission insisted A-frame signs measure no more
than 4' x 4' and be secured by sandbags on the base. In addition, they cannot be placed on Price City property. These were the regulations given to Castle
Valley Community Theater at the last Commission Meeting and this should remain
the standard. Francis Duzenack will
convey this information to Mr. Larsen.
Joe Piccolo moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City
Council for the Conditional Use Permit - A-Frame Signs for Global Volunteer
Day/Safety Fair for A-Frame Signs.
Laurel Marinos seconded and the motion carried.

USE PERMIT - A FRAME SIGNS
CASTLE VALLEY COMMUNITY THEATER
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
MADELAINE NYFFELER
Ms. Nyffeler, representative of Castle Valley
Community Theater, came before the Commission to ask if they could set
up their sign schedule for a year at a time and eliminate the need to appear
before the Commission prior to each performance. Joe Piccolo indicated CVCT has been very responsible and he has
no problem with this request. There
were no concerns, but Mr. Richens mentioned there are A Frame signs year round.
Ms. Nyffeler indicated one option would be to make some permanent kiosks
around town to display a schedule of local events, but a determination would
have to be made as to who would make them and assume responsibility for
upkeep. Mr. Piccolo suggested that,
since Planning and Zoning will not be
seeing a representative of CVCT regularly, stipulations be made that the signs
go up ten days in advance, through and including the performance and come down
the day after as part of the motion. Ms. Nyffeler indicated they would bring in
the performance dates so Price City will know when the signs will go up. They have also sent their Board Members
around to contact property owners and obtain permission to set up the signs on
their property. They have three
productions scheduled up to and including November of 2000. Vern Jones
suggested this schedule be set up on a calendar year, running from January to
January, including those productions up to and including November of 2000.
Joe Piccolo moved to forward a
favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the approval of a Temporary
Conditional Use Permit for Castle Valley Community Theater A Frame Signs
through the year 2000, with the stipulation that the signs be placed no longer
than ten days in advance of the performance and that a performance calendar be
given to Price City so they will be aware of performance dates and when the
signs will be put in place. Penny Sampinos
seconded and the motion carried.

TACK AND LEATHER REPAIR
ANGELO MELO
Mr. Melo was unable to attend and Janet
Roedel appeared on his behalf. She indicated
the business would locate in the back
of the building occupied by Charlie’s Pawn.
When asked if there would be a sign, she was not certain, but thought
there might be a sign left from the previous tenant. Francis Duzenack indicated if there is an existing sign and it
meets the code, it could become a copy change and no sign permit would be
needed. He will stop by and check it
out. There were no other concerns and
Larry Bruno moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council
for the Conditional Use Permit for JS to 7M Saddle Repair. Alfred Richens seconded and the motion
carried.
VIII CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT
CONSTRUCTION OF CARPORT
PHILLIP BACA
133 NORTH 300 EAST
MR. BACA RESIDES WITHIN THE CD ZONE; LOT
COVERAGE IS REGULATED BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Mr. & Mrs. Baca told the Commission they
would like to construct an open carport at this address. Mr. Baca is disabled and can no longer
maintain the driveway in winter weather.
Rain gutters will be installed so the runoff will not drain onto the
neighboring property. They will submit
building plans, purchase a building permit and hire a contractor to do the
work. Francis Duzenack indicated this
was in a Residential Zone with a maximum lot coverage of 35% of the lot. Even though this is a residential use, this
35% will limit this carport to only about 22 feet long. They are requesting to do the full length of
the house which is 63 feet. Since the house
is in the CD Zone, the coverage is regulated by Conditional Use Permit and the
carport is permissible in the CD Zone.
There were no concerns and Penny Sampinos moved to forward a favorable
recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit -
Construction of Carport in a CD Zone.
Laurel Marinos seconded and the motion carried.

IX CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT - CONCEPT
CONVENTION CENTER DINNER CLUB
RESTAURANT PRIVATE CLUB
301 EAST MAIN
TONY BASSO - GARY GRAKO - SAM FARLAINO
Mr. Basso and Mr. Farlaino presented their
idea for a convention center, dinner club, restaurant and private
club. They feel there is a need in our
area for such a facility. The front
portion of the building will include a bar and restaurant and the back portion
will be for weddings and conventions.
They are looking for concept approval so they can apply for a liquor
license. Price Check Auto, the current tenant, will vacate by the end of
January, 2000. The old laundry, dressed
up to match the main building, will serve as a rental, perhaps for Sherry’s
Paint and Body Shop, who must relocate also.
Outside remodeling will include stucco and crowning in neutral
colors. Alfred Richens asked concerning
the parking and Francis Duzenack indicated parking for the facility would be
adequate. However, before proceeding
with the project, a complete set of plans, including those for signs, must be
presented for review. Vern Jones indicated
this location was situated in the Redevelopment District and suggested they
contact him as they move along in their project. There were no further questions at this point as this is Concept
Approval only. Larry Bruno then moved
to approve a Conditional Use Permit for Concept Approval for the Basso,
Farlaino & Grako Convention Center.
Alfred Richens seconded and the motion carried.

the issue of Papa Murphy’s Pizza. It was tabled until various issues could be
settled and these have now been
resolved.

(PAPA MURPHY’S PIZZA, CONTINUED)
The Price City Attorney has written a memo,
dated November 8, 1999, recommending that the project
proceed. It will be returned to the
Planning and Zoning Agenda of November 22 for formal action, but they would
like a head- nod to proceed with construction. Joe Piccolo indicated the
Commission should not have to act on this issue again because it was approved
with some questions. The questions have
been resolved and there is no need to re-approve the issue. Mr. Duzenack indicated it was his
understanding that it was not approved, but was tabled subject to the matter
being resolved. Both Mr. Piccolo and
Mr. Richens indicated it was initially approved. Vern Jones substantiated this information and added that Planning
and Zoning approved the matter and it was sent to Price City Council. The Council, in turn, referred it back to
Planning and Zoning as a compliance request, based on the following unresolved
issues: 1) site plan was not in
order; 2) soil test was not provided;
and 3) the sampling manhole was in question.
If these items are in compliance, then it should be moved to City
Council for approval. After discussion
on the matter, members favored placing this issue on the Price City Council
agenda for a favorable recommendation followed by ratification by the Planning
and Zoning Commission at their next meeting.
Larry Bruno indicated that, based on the City Attorney’s letter, he was
in support of them proceeding with their construction.
Mr. Piccolo indicated he still has a question
on how many different forms of eating establishments a conditional
use permit will allow. In other words,
the conditional use change might come back before the Council or Commission if
that conditional use did change. Are
Mama Lia’s Pizza and Papa Murphy’s Pizza licensed differently by conditional
use? Francis Duzenack indicated there
was no difference - they are licensed the same way. The fact that there could be conditional change with no further
requests from this Commission or the City Council bothers Mr. Piccolo. Mr. Duzenack indicated that part of Mr.
Sampinos recommendation was that they do a written recorded agreement with Mr.
Krompel that, if another tenant ever uses that building, a sampling manhole
will be installed. Mr. Piccolo
indicated he was a proponent of installing the sampling manhole, but feels this is an unfair request when only
Mr. Krompel is signing this agreement.
He is satisfied with the Price City Attorney’s decision, but if
convection ovens are put in the store without installing deep fryers and
without having to change the conditional use permit a great deal, will that
violate the agreement that we are making at this point? He feels there is a very fine line here and
he is not certain.

it can be enforced or administrated fairly because we do not have two
categories in our conditional use permit.
Now might be a good time, before the business license is issued, to make
a non-cooking eating establishment business license. He feels the non-cooking
food preparation/retail outlet has not been sufficiently addressed. Francis Duzenack indicated this would be a
retail store and if that were to change to any other type of food
establishment, the installation of a sampling manhole would be required. Mr. Piccolo reiterated all new commercial
construction requires a sampling manhole and if the ordinance cannot be applied
to everybody, it should not be applied to one individual. Although he agrees
with the decision of the Price City Attorney, he does not agree with forcing
Mr. Krompel to comply with a singular request that takes only his business into
consideration. He feels that if it
cannot be applied evenly, he should not be forced to comply at all. Vern Jones mentioned there was nothing in
the letter saying or suggesting that we should have an agreement. The agreement was discussed only verbally by
Mr. Krompel and the Price City Attorney.
If the decision is based on the letter in front of you, then you can
forward it to City Council. There were
three items, mentioned previously, that required attention and all have been
taken care of by this decision. Mr.
Piccolo indicated to Staff that this matter should be placed on the Price City
Council Agenda for final discussion.
Chairman Angotti asked if it will be sent back to Planning and Zoning
following final discussion. Mr. Piccolo
indicated it was an open-end issue and was sent back so this Commission could
make certain their recommendation was in order, however, he is not certain as
to whether or not it must legally reappear on the P&Z Agenda. Larry Bruno suggested doing some research on
the matter and, if necessary, put it on the agenda for ratification. Mr. Piccolo asked the Commission if they
were in favor of allowing Mr. Krompel to open without the installation of a
sampling manhole. All were in
favor. He then asked if anyone present
had an issue which would prevent this project from getting a favorable recommendation
from City Council. There were
none.
Mr. Piccolo will report to Price City Council on Wednesday night that
conditions have been met to meet Final Approval for a retail outlet at Papa
Murphy’s Pizza and the Planning and Zoning Commission is in favor of this. It will be ratified at the next meeting of
the Planning and Zoning Commission in an attempt to comply with the time
schedule set by Papa Murphy’s.
