A favorable motion to approve the minutes of November 21st, 2005 as amended was made by Ed Shook. Jeanne McEvoy seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

IV            CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-SECOND DWELLING-FINAL

            276 SO. 200 W.-RESIDENTIAL HOUSING-ANTHONY BASSO, OWNER

Tom McCreary presented this request. AJB Properties would like a second dwelling added on this property. The property falls into the Duplex category.  Chapter 17 of the Land Use Development Code Book allows for a second dwelling on a lot with the approval from P & Z Commission and City Council. The property then must be owned by the same person and cannot be split at any time in the future. If the property is sold it must be sold to one owner only as a package deal. Staff recommends this addition as all setbacks have been met and items of concern have been dealt with. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Second Dwelling Addition Final was made by Alfred Richens. Penny Sampinos seconded the motion.

 

V         CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-PARKING LOT-FINAL

            48 E. 100 N. SOUTHEASTERN UTAH EYE CLINIC-JUDY SACCOMANNO, O.D. AND

            CORI CALLAHAN, O.D.

Judy Saccomanno and Cori Callahan presented this request. They are partners in the Southeastern Eye Clinic on 100 N. There is currently a house next to the clinic that is uninhabitable. They would like to tear  the home down and create a parking lot next to their clinic. The current parking is along the city street and is very busy and difficult for seniors and handicap clients. This new parking addition would accommodate additional off street parking. Access will have a front and back driveway and joins the existing back parking lot. Staff recommends this parking lot project as a needed improvement to the City and the area. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Final was made by Penny Sampinos. Ed Shook seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

 

 

VI        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- BUSINESS AND SIGN FINAL

            1191 EAST MAIN STREET-COLD STONE CREAMERY-RICHARD HACKWELL 

Brad Nielson, Director of Operations for Cold Stone Creamery presented this request. This business is a national brand Ice Cream Store with 14 other locations within Utah. Richard Hackwell will run the store. Staff has checked into the signs and both are acceptable as they will be placed on the front and on the side of the building. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Business and Sign Final was made by Ed Shook. Frankie Sacco seconded the motion.

 

VII      CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-BUSINESS SEPARATION-FINAL

            528 SO. HIGHWAY 55-EXTREME PAINT & BODY-JOEY WARD, OWNER

Joey Ward presented this request. Extreme Paint and Body will be separated between Joey Ward and Paul Simmons. This business is currently in Zupons’ old building and is running as one single owner business. The business will now be separated by a doorway and different owners but will work together in the same building. It will change Paul Simmons Conditional Use Permit, but no amendment will be necessary-as Paul has approval to be in the building. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Business Separation Final was made by  Penny Sampinos.  Jeanne McEvoy seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

           

VI     II       CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-BUSINESS AND SIGN-FINAL

            57 NORTH CARBON AVE-MED USA-MIKE SIAPERAS, CEO

Mike Siaperas presented this request. Mr. Siaperas is expanding his Price business from main street to 57 N. Carbon Avenue. There is parking on one side of the building which has access to 44 stalls. Mr. Siaperas will also have an arrangement with Price Trading Company located next door for additional parking if necessary. There is driveway access at 1st North but it is closed with a chain to keep people from cutting across the parking lot. The access will be available to emergency vehicles but remain closed. The existing illuminated sign is 42’ across the front of the building and will remain the same just requiring a name change. Staff recommends this business  there is sufficient parking and just a copy change for the existing sign.  Med USA will hire approximately 10 more employees by the end of December. Employees will be encouraged to park in the parking lot and not on the street. There is also parking located across Carbon Avenue that is owned by Price City if necessary. There are two different shifts at Med USA and no more than 25 people will be using the 44 lots available at one given time. The only reason for street parking would be for customers of surrounding businesses and delivery trucks. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Final was made by Alfred Richens. Frankie Sacco seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

IX        CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-BUSINESS AND SIGN FINAL

            CREEKVIEW STRIP MALL-SPA & EXERCISE CLUB-NANETTE ALBERTS,OWNER

Francis Duzenack presented this request. Nanette Alberts would like to add a spa and exercise business into the old Discovery space in the Creekview Shopping Center. The plans have enough space in the building and excess bathrooms than required from previous tenant. Creekview Shopping Center owners require all businesses to have uniform signs using letters only. The shape and size of the letters chosen are adequate. Staff recommends a fire and building inspection be done on the space as needed during remodeling. If there is to be a salon, all cosmetologists need to be licensed. Copies of all licenses required by the Health Department and State of Utah will be given to the Building Department to keep on record. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Final Contingent upon Fire and Building Inspections and proof of all licensing certificates was made by Alfred Richens. Penny Sampinos seconded the motion. Motion Carried.

 

 

X         CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT-BUSINESS AND SIGN FINAL

            65 N. 300 E.-HORIZON LABORATORIES INC. 2- VICTOR JARRETT, PRES.

Victor Jarrett presented this request. This will be a water analytical facility for Price and surrounding areas. There is a tank in the back of the building which is argon, used to cool a plasma flame and a ICP. ICP nebulizes whatever you test and an argon is used to keep area around flame at a safe temperature. Its basically a refrigerant. There is a warning sign on the tank that says, “causes rapid suffocation”. Suffocation would only occur if you were in complete closure without any oxygen. The release valves do make a noise that sounds like a train if the tank is not being used enough. Praxair said when its used it will stop whistling. There will be a chain link enclosure placed around and over the tank. The non-flammable tank will be neutralized in the afternoon to cool it down, the tank releases in very cold weather. Because the box is hanging over onto the property line, Frankie Sacco recommends the box be removed to exclude liability falling onto the other property. Praxair would then go onto Mr. Jarrett’s property instead of adjoining property owners to maintain the tank. This facility is 700 miles from the next testing station and will test water and gases. Primary customer will be mines and will employ initially 4 certified employees. Due to the auditing of test labs, employees must at least have some chemistry background or education. There is currently a Chemist and a Biologist on staff.  The samples are atomized after the tests are run and no longer needed. Mr. Jarrett is in constant contact with PRWID for disposal of chemicals. PRWID said a sampling manhole was not necessary. Chemicals  are stored in fire safe containers and as things are set up to do testing the Fire Marshall will be invited to do a safety inspection. Horizon will never have more than 4 gallons of chemical on site at any one time. Chemicals are not kept for a long amount of time so they buy chemicals fresh and use them as soon as possible. No volatile materials will be on site and will not contaminate neighborhood if there is an accident. Fire extinguishers are available in the facility. Every year the insurance company requires a safety certificate for extinguishers. Odors do not come off of chemicals, the only thing that is exhausted is heat. Staff recommends this testing facility and signs. There is adequate parking for now. A second shift would be started before they needed more parking. Video surveillance is there now. A fire alarm is recommended by the commission. Windows are all one paned to make them more tamper resistant which provides limited access into building. Another suggestion from the commission is adding bars on the basement building windows. All equipment is serial numbered and no cash will be available for theft. Metal bolts are on the front and back doors. Owner visits lab at least once in the middle of the night. A favorable motion for a Conditional Use Permit Business and Sign Final was made by Alfred Richens. Frankie Sacco seconded the motion.

 

XI        INFORMATION-NICK TATTON-GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

Nick Tatton gave the Commission an update on the Price City General Plan and asked for their continued support to adopt the changes. There were a few land development changes but most changes were merely updates on goals. P & Z needs to give an approval on the changes to the City Council for resolution.

 

XII      STAFF-UTAH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAGAZINE- (handout)

 

Added Staff Item:

·        Ed Shook has requested to have the City Council and P&Z Commission work together to create a plan of action and an ordinance for sexually oriented businesses. Price City needs to have a set of standards and regulations for this type of business to co-exist in Price City. This type of ordinance and preparation will assist the Commission in handling issues that come before the panel of this nature. This will obviously take meetings and discussions between the City Attorney and governing officials. This needs to be done before the Commission is approached on other such businesses. A possible contract between Price City and business owners with regulations on signs and advertising may be necessary. Francis will check with Price City Attorney, Nick Sampinos regarding the a possible drafting process and a possible back issue that may have already been started. The City Recorder will be contacted to relay this request to the City Council as Jeanne McEvoy was not present for the staff items.

           

            There were no further items on the agenda and Alfred Richens moved to adjourn. The meeting

            adjourned at 7:02 P.M.

 

APPROVED
