II CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGNS
MILKY WAY
391 NORTH 400 EAST
JON ANAST
Mr. Anast appeared before the Commission for approval of all three
signs for the Milky Way. Mr. Duzenack
indicated there was some concern with Sign #3, which appears to be in the
public right-of-way. Mr. Anast
concurred. The Land Development Code
states that no sign shall be placed on public property or public right-of-way,
except when expressly licensed by the City Council. In this case the Price City Council will have to review the
placement before final approval is given.
Mr. Anast explained the pole is actually located between the curb and
the sidewalk, is within the required size and will not protrude over the curb
or provide any type of obstruction. The
pole sign is located in the same place as the old sign, but will need Council
approval because of its location. There were no further questions and Alfred
Richens moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for
the Conditional Use Permit - Signs, contingent upon approval of the location of
Sign #3 in the Price City right-of-way by Price City Council. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion
carried.
III CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT - SIGN
A J’s CUSTOM BODY & PAINT SHOP
500 SOUTH HIGHWAY 55
ALAN STOUT
Mr. Stout described his sign as a 4'x 4' lighted sign and passed out
photos to Commission Members. He
indicated the location, saying the sign would be on his property about five
feet back from the parkway and not in UDOT right-of-way. Alfred Richens asked if he planned on
keeping the existing sign. If so, this could create a spacing problem. Mr. Stout indicated he would remove the old
sign when the new sign was installed.
There were no further questions and Alfred Richens moved to forward a
favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit -
Sign - for A J’s Custom Body & Paint Shop, contingent upon removal of the
old sign when the new sign has been installed.
Laurel Marinos seconded and the motion carried.
IV CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - SIGN
CANOPY SIGN FOR K-MART GARDEN CENTER
610 WEST PRICE RIVER DRIVE
J G CONSTRUCTION
The presentation was made by Francis Duzenack as the construction
company is based in California. This is
a new small free-standing canopy at the existing K-Mart Garden Shop with a sign
on it. The actual canopy size is
slightly over 200 square feet when you include the arch, but the sign size is
within our 200 square feet limitations.
It doesn’t attach to the building at all because it is an entrance
canopy. It sits out in front and covers
the entry sidewalk. They are doubling
the existing area for the garden shop and the permit for the construction of
the canopy has already been issued.
Joe Piccolo asked concerning the Land Development Code with reference to
two large signs on the face of one building.
Mr. Duzenack indicated the “Garden Center” sign will be removed. Each sign face will equal 200 square feet
and the remaining signs will remain the same.
There were no further questions and Penny Sampinos moved to forward a
favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional Use Permit -
Canopy Sign for K-Mart Garden Center.
Joe Piccolo seconded and the motion carried.
V CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT - SIGN
LIFE LINE PREGNANCY CENTER
454 EAST 400 NORTH
STEFANIE SIMPSON
Ms. Simpson, Director of Lifeline Pregnancy Center, explained they are authorized and under the
direction of the Catholic Church. They
would like to put a fascia sign above the door of their building measuring 4' x
8'. This sign meets the required regulations. There were no concerns and Joe Piccolo moved
to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional
Use Permit - Sign - for Life Line
Pregnancy Center. Alfred Richens
seconded and the motion carried.
VI CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT - BUSINESS
REALTOURS, INC.
375 SOUTH CARBON AVENUE (BTAC)
THOMAS GAZELL
INTERNET ADVERTISING
Mr. Gazell was not present and Joe Piccolo moved to table this
item. Alfred Richens seconded and the
motion carried.
Mr. David Verdi appeared before the Commission to represent Realtours,
Inc. as Mr. Gazell was unable to
attend. Joe Piccolo asked that his
motion to table this matter be rescinded.
Mr. Verdi explained that Realtours has obtained office space at the
BTAC. They are an internet business and can list real estate properties and
homes from their website. They have a
website for real estate listings that provides a virtual tour of the home. This gives the customer a good idea of
whether or not it will be a home they might want to see. They are not competing with realtors nor are
they realtors, but only provide a service that saves both parties time and
money. Although they will focus on the
State of Utah, eventually they will work with homes in other areas. There were no questions or concerns and
Alfred Richens moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City
Council for the Conditional Use Permit for Realtours, Inc. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion
carried.
VII CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -
BUSINESS & SIGN
MOUNTAIN LAND REHABILITATION
625 EAST 100 NORTH (ZIONS

Mr. Montgomery appeared on behalf of Mountain Land Rehabilitation,
Inc. He explained this is a physical
therapy practice and is an outpatient facility only. The proposed signs are a directional sign and a decal sign on the
door. The requested signs are not
regulated. There will be no major renovations to the building and adequate
parking is available for both bank and clinic business. There were no concerns and Alfred Richens
moved to forward a favorable recommendation to Price City Council for the Conditional
Use Permit - Business and Sign - for Mountain Land Rehabilitation, Inc. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion
carried.
VIII BOARD
OF ADJUSTMENT - STOCKBURGER & McDONALD
DUAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REQUEST
TO SELL/BUY A PARCEL OF PROPERTY
WITH AN EXISTING GARAGE THAT CURRENTLY
SITS ACROSS A PROPERTY LINE
Francis Duzenack explained the circumstances of this Board of
Adjustment request. There are two lots
in a MR7 zone and both are pre-existing and non-conforming and under 7000
square feet. Years ago, the garage was
actually built across the property line and crosses the property by about seven
feet. The garage belonging to Mr.
Stockburger extends onto the McDonald property. In order to make this work, they will need a Board of Adjustments
variance. They can’t sell any property
off of the existing parcel because they are already non-conforming. In this particular instance, it’s a problem
caused by the properties and has been there for many years. This appears the only way to rectify the
situation. They have worked out a
solution with the neighbor. The McDonalds
are willing to sell the seven foot parcel out in front of the garage as
indicated by the dotted line and it will then angle back over to the original
property line. This will allow the
garage to be all on one property. Mr.
Stockburger currently has both the building and garage up for sale, but has a
problem selling because of the garage sitting across the property line. This situation has been there for several
years and without the purchase of this property, the other option is to tear
down a portion of the garage. Mr.
Stockburger will have to go through the Board of Adjustment process. However, tonight, this item is before the
Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation to be sent to the Board of
Adjustments. Chairman Pro-Tem Gary Lyon
asked if there were any concerns or questions.
Joe Piccolo asked if this variance leaves enough room to get behind the
original house when the property is taken.
Mr. Duzenack indicated there would be room to get behind the McDonald
house on the corner. Mr. Piccolo
expressed concern as to whether or not there was access to the backyard, if
needed. Mr. Duzenack told the
Commission the back yard is accessed by the driveway on the south side of the
house. Mr. Stockburger bought the
property without this matter being resolved, however, he now wants to sell and
cannot do so without taking care of this problem. The McDonalds are willing to sell the necessary property and all
parties feel a variance is the most equitable way to solve the problem. There was no further discussion on the
matter and Joe Piccolo moved to forward this matter to the Price City Board of
Adjustments for a variance request and a solution to the problem. Penny Sampinos seconded and the motion
carried.
