and will sit off the ground. Power will come from Price City.
Mr. Richens asked if they had obtained a signed document from the owner giving them permission to use their property. Ms. Dunn indicated she was planning on renting the space from the property owner, although the lease has not yet been signed. Mr. Piccolo asked if power could be run to a temporary structure. Mr. Duzenack indicated he understood they would use the existing power from the private parking lot line rather than the Price City power poles. The only thing that could be done would be to install temporary construction power and a cord connected to the building. However, Ms. Dunn said the power would come from the light pole sitting on the sidewalk rather than the private parking lot light. Joe Piccolo indicated more detailed plans were needed and he was uncertain as to whether or not power could be run to a temporary structure of this type. There is also a covenant in the property deed and title, a setback of 160 feet, that disallows building on certain portions of the property. Francis Duzenack told the Commission there was an original agreement that no buildings could be built in front of the main buildings. This was done to protect Safeway and OSCO, the tenants at that time. It was a private agreement between the property owners and Price City was not involved. Vern Jones asked if Ms. Dunn had made contact with the owner of the building. She indicated she had spoken with Feature Films and their lawyer and asked if they were the people responsible for renting space. They said they were the responsible party and there would be no problem renting the space. Feature Films told Ms. Dunn that they were in charge of whatever happens concerning the parking lot. They co-lease the property and rent it out to fireworks and snowcone stands. Ms. Dunn indicated her building would be located right next to the sidewalk. Mr. Piccolo said if Price City allows a building to be put on property that has a deed stating this cannot be done, it is a problem. The Board of Health has given their approval. There was a problem of water, but it has since been solved. The gray water will be held in holding tanks and hauled off. This will be a temporary facility and a lease will be signed for a year. The sign will be 8' x 3' on top of the building and attached by hinges so that it can be put down. There are no fire codes or traffic hazards. The drive-in will serve toward the south side of the building, coming in one exit and out another. There is excess parking at the location. The only unanswered question is how to provide permanent power at a temporary business. Mr. Duzenack will look into the matter. He will meet with Ken Harney of the Price City

Utility Department and go over a plan for the power. Ms. Dunn indicated she had been told the line would run down and attach to the meter on the building. The building will be heated with an electrical space heater. Gary Lyon indicated there could be a problem with whether or not the light pole will provide adequate power to run to the building. He suggested tabling this matter for two weeks time and having Mr. Duzenack do further research before proceeding. The Commission and Staff were in full agreement. Because there are several problems, Larry Bruno requested the problems be enumerated so they can be more easily addressed:
· adequate power to accommodate their needs
· electrical drop to a meter base on a temporary structure
· allowance of structure with regard to property deed
· letter from the property owner
· more detailed building plan
· location of building from two driveways
· traffic situation
It was recommended Francis Duzenack meet with Ken Harney of Utilities to determine the power situation. Joe Piccolo will check with the Board of Health on required regulations and report back at the next meeting. Ms. Dunn can meet with Staff to work out all details and return to the next upcoming meeting. Alfred Richens made a motion to table this issue until the next meeting. Gary Lyon seconded and the motion carried.
III. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGNS
GAS - N - GO
104 WEST 100 NORTH
BRUCE BILLINGS, V.P.
REQUEST TO REPLACE EXISTING SIGN WITH
LARGER SIGN (NEW CONOCO STANDARD)
Francis Duzenack explained the standard requirement for a sign is 100 square feet per sign face, however, there is a provision that allows for larger signs by Conditional use Permit should the situation warrant it. This sign totals 150 square feet on one side or 300 square feet on both sides. It is in an S-2 Sign Zone and has a reader board underneath. Mr.

Billings passed around pictures of similar signs at their other stores. He indicated he had applied for and received a variance for a second sign in this location. The sign now present is a single pole sign, so they would have to come out into the parking lot and install a curb. There were no concerns on the sign. It is legal by conditional use and meets all sign requirements. There were no further questions and Joe Piccolo moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit for the sign on Gas and Go property as pictured. Larry Bruno seconded and the motion carried.
IV. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGNS
MAMA LIA’S PIZZA
264 SOUTH CARBON AVENUE
REQUEST TO INSTALL LARGER SIGN THAN PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED AND INSTALL SECOND SIGN ON THE ROOF;
ALSO REQUESTING REVIEW OF PARKING LOT
PROPOSED FOR ADJOINING PROPERTY
Mr. Goergen appeared before the Commission explaining that the parking lot circumvents the house next door and he has cleaned up the mess in that area. Mr. Richens asked if this would interfere with the business located in the rear area. Mr. Goergen indicated it would not and would probably help his business because of the traffic flow. The entire parking lot will be paved except for 15 feet back and that will be graveled because the detail shop in the back washes cars and needs a graveled area for that service. Francis Duzenack indicated there is a current Conditional Use Permit on Mama Lia’s pizza with a temporary stay of the paving requirements for that parking lot behind the building and a two year Temporary use Permit. He is willing to pave the entire parking area at the same time, all within this two year period. The existing sign on the front of the building now will be moved to the roof top. The original sign will now be mounted on the roof toward the north side of the building. The new sign will be 4' tall and mounted on the front and is slightly larger than the one originally approved. There were no concerns and Larry Bruno moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit for Signs for Mama Lia’s Pizza. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion carried.

V. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PRICE CHECK AUTO
RELOCATE BUSINESS AND SIGNS
410 EAST MAIN
Stephen Johnson explained to the Commission that he would be relocating his business and signs. This will be a downsize from the original car lot.
It is not a change of use, however, as they do tire sales and a Christmas Tree Lot. The signs will not be changed drastically and will be attached in the same way as the former tenant. There will be no other type of signs. Joe Piccolo asked if Mr. Duzenack had determined a recommended number of cars for this lot. Mr. Duzenack indicated he has not yet had time to do so. The site will limit his number of vehicles and the inventory will be downsized to fit the lot. He will do tire sales, but will discontinue the Christmas Tree Lot. There were no further questions and Gary Lyon moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit for Price Check Auto - Relocation of Business and Signs. Alfred Richens seconded and the motion carried.
VI. RATIFICATION OF APPROVAL
PAPA MURPHY’S PIZZA
SEWER AND WATER INSTALLATION
Joe Piccolo made a motion to ratify the compliance of the required changes for sewer and water installation only. There were other changes that were required that were met and there had been no action on them to that point. He moved that those required changes be ratified to fall into compliance as requested. Gary Lyon seconded and the motion carried.
VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
PRICE UTAH HERITAGE GARDEN
55 EAST 300 SOUTH
LYLE BAUER
Mr. Bauer of Price City appeared before the Commission and explained this project. This is a vacant lot owned by Price City and it is being developed into a low water use demonstration garden. Because these plants don’t like fertile soil, some earth work has been done on the project and several inches of top soil have been removed. Rocks have been brought in and the east side will be designed for desert type plants, along

with a dry stream bed to represent the transition. There will also be stream side shrubbery and a mound of dirt on which an Alpine type garden will be planted. The plants will be grouped according to water requirements. There will be information and advice on planting and growing. The
Commission was in support of this project and Larry Bruno moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit for the Price Utah Heritage Garden. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion carried.
