Alltucker: Aye
The motion passed unanimously.
Discussion/Announcements/Non-action items:
General Discussion and Announcements: Rick Wixom announced a Town Council work meeting was
scheduled for February 14 to continue work on the Town’s capital project priority list.
Mr. Wixom reported that Rocky Mountain Power submitted two different applications to the Public
Service Commission. One would change the rate structure; the second would change the schedule. A
new rate was created that would be applied to existing and future solar customers. The new tariff was
delayed while the Public Service Commission determined the benefits. The rate question was ongoing
and would be discussed at a hearing in August. It was reported that Springdale wrote a letter to the
Public Service Commission to oppose what Rocky Mountain Power was trying to do. It was noted it
would have a significant effect on the solar industry if one or both pieces passed and therefore be
detrimental to the Town of Springdale.
Mark Chambers joined the meeting at 5:05 p.m.
Visitors Bureau Report: Nate Wells was present on behalf of the Zion Canyon Visitors Bureau (ZCVB)
and reported on the following:
•
•
•
The first 2017 ZCVB meeting was held the previous Wednesday and was very well attended. Updates
were given by Town Clerk Darci Carlson and Mayor Smith on things taking place in Town. A presentation
was also given by Aly Baltrus from the Park Service. She introduced details of a pilot program for a
handful of businesses in Town to sell seven-day Park passes to visitors in an effort to help with
congestion at the Park entrance. Enthusiasm was expressed for the program.
The 32nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Spring Celebration would take place on Saturday, March 18. The
parade would begin at 2:00 p.m. on Lion Boulevard and end at the Bit & Spur lawn where there would be
additional festivities including the Utah Pipe Band.
Mr. Wells reported businesses were preparing for another busy season.
Zion Park update: Superintendent Bradybaugh reported on the following:
•
A planning team was in from the Denver Service Center Office to continue work on the Visitor Use
Management Plan. They were considering input received from the scoping sessions held last fall. As

management strategies were refined they would be brought forward to the cooperating agencies, which
included the Town of Springdale.
Visitation numbers for January were the highest ever in January with over 90,000 visitors. This was an
increase of just over 5% from last year.
Shuttles were to start back up on President’s Day Weekend and would operate over the next several
weekends in the Park. The spring schedule would commence on March 11.
Relative to the shuttle, the Park continued to look at the fleet replacement process. They had begun to
rehab several existing shuttle tractors, rebuilding the propane engines, and replacing some of the moving
parts. They were also looking into electric buses. A demonstration was given by Proterra, a company
that produced electric buses. Moving forward, the Park would consider ways to finance replacement.
In response to a question raised, Superintendent Bradybaugh stated he hoped to move the south
entrance monument this fall. The Park was in the design process and wanted to coordinate with the
UDOT SR-9 reconstruction project. The intent was to either add another entrance station or at least a
new full lane.
Superintendent Bradybaugh reported that a federal hiring freeze was not uncommon with a new
administration. They soon learned that National Parks needed seasonal employees and they were in the
process of advertising the positions. Superintendent Bradybaugh was, however, not sure when
candidates would be selected. It was noted the hiring of permanent employee positions was still frozen.
There was no Z-Arts report. There were no new updates. Ms. Giardina was excused from the meeting.
Community Development and General Plan report: Tom Dansie announced the following:
•
•
The community forum on lodging and community character was very successful. The intent was to start
discussion about future lodging development to better protect the Town’s village atmosphere. The
facilitation team summarized the comments from the meeting and would put together an online survey for
those unable to attend. Based on the input received, the Planning Commission planned to begin work on
lodging strategies in the next few months.
The Planning Commission was looking at ordinance revisions related to sign illumination, pedestrianoriented development strategies in conjunction with the SR-9 project, and Conditional Use Permits.
Community questions and comments: Mayor Smith recognized the passing of two outstanding
members of the community, Kaylee Cox Gerkin and her daughter, and Jayne Rook. Judi Rook requested
the following be read into the record: “Jayne Rook, former co-owner of Tribal Arts and present owner of
the 4-plex at 1051 Zion Park Blvd, passed away on January 21, 2017 at 'The Retreat' in St. George,
Utah. She was 97, and had spent many, many happy years in the Native American art business with her
sister Eula Bruce in Springdale. She was buried in the Springdale Cemetery on January 28, 2017. In her
final week, she reminisced about those special times. We, her family thank you all for those happy
memories. Son Tim Rook and wife Judi will be continuing her legacy by overseeing the 4-plex at 1051
Zion Park Blvd.”
Jonathan Zambella asked about the timing of the Night Sky Ordinance. Mr. Dansie explained that the
Town’s street light project would not be completed until Spring 2018 due to the SR-9 project. The Night
Sky Ordinance would not be enforced until the Town was in compliance.
Action Items – Legislative
Ordinance 2017-01-Revisions to chapter 9-7, 4-1, and 9-1 of the Springdale Town Code adopting
the current State Fire Code and modifying various references to the State Fire Code: Mr. Wixom
said the Fire Marshal suggested several references to the State Fire Code be updated. Other changes
were recommended by the Town Attorney to bring the ordinance in line. The revision would roll forward
with any future changes to the State Code. The Town was already operating under, and compliant with,
the current State Fire Code. This was a housekeeping item to bring the code in line with current
practices.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to adopt Ordinance 2017-01 an ordinance of the Town of
Springdale and revisions to chapters 9-7, 4-1, and 9-1 of the Springdale Town Code adopting
current State Fire Code and modifying various references to the State Fire Code and authorize the
Mayor to sign. The motion was seconded by Lisa Zumpft.
Chambers: Aye

Action Items – Administrative
Mayor Smith reported that Conditional Use Permits did not require a public hearing. He said for a
Conditional Use Permit, if standards and conditions were met, the permit was granted. If standards were
not met, a CUP would not be issued. Mayor Smith requested comments focused on whether applications
met the standards set forth in the ordinance.
Mr. Chambers stated that the Planning Commission was reviewing Conditional Use Permits in general.
Now was the time for residents to submit comments about CUPs to the Commission.
Mayor Smith acknowledged Conditional Use Permits had changed over the years and could be
confusing. The State Legislature had changed the requirements and the burden of proof was on the
Town to judge whether standards were met.
Public Hearing – Conditional Use Permit: Richard Madsen requests a public parking area on
property in the Valley Residential zone, located at 2251 Zion Park Boulevard: Mr. Dansie reported
that the proposal was for a parking area with up to 100 spaces, which was the limit of the CUP (400’ x
200’). The Planning Commission heard the proposal at the December meeting and expressed concern
with impacts associated with the proposed impound use associated with the parking area. The Planning
Commission also felt there was not enough detail in the application to support findings with the standards
and permits. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended denial.
Several public comment letters were submitted in opposition to the request, citing impacts and potential
changes to the character of the residential area. Some were in favor of the request citing the need for
additional parking in Town. If approved, the applicant would need to come back to the Planning
Commission with a Design/Development Review to insure compliance with the development standards.
Mr. Chambers asked about signage on the property. Mr. Dansie explained the applicant had a home
occupation permit, which allowed a home office and storage of a tow vehicle. Limited signage was
allowed but the signage currently on the property was not in compliance. Razor wire was also not
permitted and the Town advised the applicant of the compliance issues.
Mr. Chambers stated that the property was currently not in compliance and the owners had been notified.
He indicated there was a designated wilderness boundary adjacent to the applicant’s property.
Superintendent Bradybaugh stated the area was Congressionally designated as wilderness.
•
•
Mr. Dansie explained granting a Conditional Use Permit was an entitlement that went with the land; if the
CUP was granted the use went into perpetuity. The landowner, however, was always free to discontinue
the CUP at their discretion. There was a process where the Town could claim abandonment but there
was no formal process for the applicant to go through to discontinue the CUP.
Community questions:
•
•
•
•
•
Jonathan Zambella asked about a potential change in ownership and if the CUP would remain with the
property. Mr. Dansie explained the difference between a CUP and rezoning the land. Procedurally a
CUP was a use the Town allowed through the permitting process. A rezone changed a whole host of
uses on the property including development standards.
Mr. Bradybaugh asked what setback requirements existed on the property. Mr. Dansie explained that
the rear setback for the Valley Residential zone was 30 feet.
Ms. Zumpft asked about the location of the lot. Due to the size of the property, Mr. Madsen said there
was flexibility to adjust placement and locate the lot in the best position possible.
Mr. Alltucker asked about the distance to SR-9. Mr. Madsen stated that they were considering the
location of the entrance and it would most likely be their existing main driveway. The other option would
be to the west side of the Majestic View Lodge.
Mr. Alltucker stated one consideration was the impact to municipal services. He asked if they were
willing to fund an impact cost. Mr. Madsen was not willing to pay for it and disagreed with the
assessment it would have an impact. He explained the Majestic View was currently the sole impact on
shuttle stop. Mr. Alltucker commented that shuttles were often full when they left that shuttle stop.

Mr. Zambella asked about traffic coming out of the driveway and if the Design/Development Review
would address traffic concerns. Mr. Dansie stated the Town recently adopted a traffic impact study that
required assessment studies and suggested improvements to offset or improve the traffic situation. If
considered an area of critical local concern, the Town could also require a traffic impact study.
Melanie Thatcher asked how much affect parking on the street had on views and property access.
Additionally, she wondered if motorists would park in Town and use the shuttle if they didn’t park on the
street. Mr. Madsen stated the Town put up signs to specify where to park when the Park was full. He
reported that he monitored local businesses because of his towing business and was likely more familiar
with the parking problems in Town than most. Signs created situations where people park on that end of
Town which had an impact. He noted there were no comments about overloading the shuttle stop at that
time.
Sheralyn Madsen asked if any other businesses in Springdale contributed to the cost of the shuttles.
Mr. Alltucker stated that there was a negative impact on the municipalities’ system and questioned who
would pay for it. Ms. Madsen stated that the location of the proposed parking lot was in an area that
would not be impactful or obtrusive. She mentioned they were flexible as to where the lot was placed.
Karla Player asked about the second option for an entrance near Majestic View Lodge. Mr. Madsen
stated there was already an easement for the sewer line. He indicated that the right-of-way was on the
far side of the Majestic View Annex.
Melanie Thatcher commented that when driving she could not see the valley from the road. She asked
the applicants to explain where the view from the street had the least and most impact. Mr. Madsen
referenced photos submitted as part of the application packet. He stated there was a buffer of trees that
followed the property line. He mentioned the parking lot was not visible from Valley View. He recognized
there were homes on the hill across the river that would have the best vantage point. When the trees had
foliage, visibility was not a huge issue.
Joy Baker stated many residents would appreciate parking in both ends of Town. She asked if they had
considered the traffic needs of residents in the plan. Mr. Madsen stated that based on his experience
they were trying to focus on RVs. The objective was to accommodate RVs and prevent them from
coming through Springdale.
Judith Schraut commented that she could see the razor wire and sign and wanted clarification.
Mr. Madsen stated that when they met with the Planning Commission, Mr. Dansie indicated they needed
a CUP for a 100-space parking lot and somehow the conversation turned to the impound lot. The issue
was not supposed to be the impound lot. He indicated about 90% of the razor wire was taken down but
he had yet not taken down the sign. The fence would remain, which was constructed of pasture wire and
not chain link. He noted they intended to keep the pastures.
Sandy Bell asked if all public parking was being eliminated on SR-9 and if he was advertising solely for
RV parking. Mr. Madsen responded that anyone could park there and it was not limited to RVs.
Ken Daley lived next to Richard Madsen and he walked the property with the applicant. The neighbors
were concerned about the access and cars driving up the driveway. Mr. Madsen stated there were
mature trees but he was willing to look at another kind of buffer to mitigate the impact.
Mr. Daley asked about the advantages and disadvantages of access. Mr. Madsen stated the access on
the west of Majestic View had a turnout but grade issues would need to be addressed. The west side
may be closer for patrons to walk to the shuttle stop and would steer vehicles away from driving by his
home.
Superintendent Bradybaugh asked about lighting at night. Mr. Madsen stated most visitors were gone
before dark. They would, however, consider low level lighting options to help patrons.
Patsy Chaffins asked about overnight parking and the proposed surface material. Mr. Madsen stated
there would absolutely be no overnight parking. He also did not want the lot to be asphalt or concrete.
Motion made by Lisa Zumpft to open public hearing. The motion was seconded by Adrian Player.
Chambers: Aye
Zumpft: Aye
Smith: Aye
Player: Aye
Alltucker: Aye
The motion passed unanimously.
As background for the audience, Mr. Dansie read from Code section 10-3A-4 which listed the six general
standards that all Conditional Use Permits needed to meet:
A.
The proposed use shall comply with all applicable land use standards contained in this title.
Approved Minutes of Springdale Town Council Regular Meeting February 8, 2017
Page 4
B.
The proposed use shall not unreasonably interfere with the lawful use of surrounding
properties.
C.
The proposed use shall not create a need for essential municipal services which cannot be
reasonably met within three (3) months and the party seeking the conditional use was willing
and able to contribute to the cost of said services.
D.
The proposed use shall not emit excessive noise, or noxious odors, and shall not otherwise
adversely impact the quality of air or water.
1. If located either in or less than one hundred feet (100') from a residential zone, the
proposed use shall not create loud noise that was sustained for more than one minute
and was perceptible on a residentially zoned property after the hour of eleven o'clock
(11:00) P.M. or before the hour of seven o'clock (7:00) A.M.
E.
If located immediately adjacent to a residential zone, the proposed use shall provide a
screening fence or wall at least six feet (6') in height along the common boundary between
the proposed use and the residential zone.
F.
If the proposed use was projected to generate more than ten (10) vehicular trips per day, the
use must be located on a dedicated public street. (Ord. 2005-06, 11-9-2005)
There were also the following four specific standards from 10-3A-5:
Public Parking Areas and Facilities:
a.
Measures must be taken to screen the view of the parking area from the view of
surrounding property owners.
b.
Access to the parking area may be located no closer than seventy-five feet (75') from any
existing main structure on adjacent property in the FR or VR zone.
c.
Parking lot lighting must be turned off after ten o'clock (10:00) P.M.
d.
Parking areas in the VR zone may contain no more than one hundred (100) spaces.
(Ord. 2007-04, 7-11-2007)
Public comments:
•
•
•
Diane McDonald, 20-year resident, was in favor of the proposed parking lots. She stated that visitation
was increasing exponentially, which had been very frustrating for the residents. Ms. McDonald
commented that there seemed to be an unfair burden placed on the Springdale residents. The proposed
parking lots would help alleviate the problems.
Karla Player had concerns about the entrance to the proposed parking lot and commented that it may
have an impact on the residents of Valley View. She was concerned about granting a Conditional Use
Permit when all of the possible issues had not been addressed.
Melanie Thatcher commented on the need for a study. Mr. Dansie mentioned that in order for that to be
necessary, 100 vehicles would need to come and go within one hour. He clarified that was the base line
criteria to determine whether a Traffic Impact Study was required. Ms. Thatcher stated that she owned a
100-stall parking lot and she had never seen 100 cars come and go within a one-hour period, even on the
busiest of days. She thought it was possible that being at the end of Town, more people would use the
proposed parking lot than would come into her lot. Generally, the Town filled up with parking after which
motorists come to her parking lot. Given the location of the property, she felt that cars would exit before
they came into Town. She thought it would be beneficial for businesses in Town in terms of access,
egress, and safety, particularly when there was road construction taking place. When the road widening
began, there would be no room for cars to park on the street. She agreed with Ms. McDonald that there
was a need and that this was one of the least visible places to locate parking. It would also encourage
motorists to park before they come into Town. Her experience was that people like the opportunity to
park off the street, which makes them feel safer.

Janis Kali commented that the proposed parking lot was ideal. She wanted to see parking moved to this
part of Town.
Superintendent Bradybaugh understood the need and if granted he would appreciate working with the
Planning Commission. He expressed concern about visibility, soundscape, air quality, and water quality
due to the proximity of the river.
Jonathan Zambella considered additional parking in Town to be an essential asset but felt this may be an
inappropriate location. He had concerns about ingress to the parking lot and limited signage to make
people aware of it. He was also worried about the congestion it might create on SR-9 and the
environmental impact by placing this type of element in a flood zone.
Judith Schraut realized that more parking was needed in Springdale but considered it to be inappropriate
for the area and the surrounding properties. She stated it was difficult to screen all the cars and RVs.
She commented that it would have a huge impact on the residents.
There was no further public comment.
Motion made by Lisa Zumpft to close public hearing. The motion was seconded by Mark
Chambers.
Chambers: Aye
Zumpft: Aye
Smith: Aye
Player: Aye
Alltucker: Aye
The motion passed unanimously.
Council discussion:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ms. Zumpft asked Mr. Dansie to describe lawful use of the surrounding properties. Mr. Dansie referred
to Section 10-3A-4(B) which specified the proposed use shall not unreasonably interfere with the lawful
use of the surrounding properties. He recommended the Council make a determination of whether this
specific parking area was unique and would unreasonably interfere with the lawful use of the surrounding
property.
Mr. Player stated that the top priority was preserving peace and privacy in residential zones.
Mr. Alltucker commented that the application listed roadside assistance, impound, and towing, in addition
to public parking. It appeared to him that if the permit went forward in its current form those uses would
be part of it. Mr. Dansie explained that the allowance in the Code was for public parking via a
Conditional Use Permit. A number of associated uses were listed. If the Council finds that one or all of
the associated uses with public parking did not conform to those standards, the concerns should be made
explicit in tonight’s discussion. Otherwise they would default to the uses in the application.
Mr. Chambers referenced Section 10-9B-1 and asked Mr. Dansie to describe the purpose and
objectives. Mr. Dansie explained that each zone included a purpose and objective statement, which was
not a regulating statement. Language pertaining to the Valley Residential zone sets out what was to be
achieved and provided the context for the regulation to follow.
Mr. Player asked how many times Mr. Dansie had spoken to Mr. Madsen about removing the razor wire
from the sign. Mr. Dansie was unsure but indicated that he had spoken to him on multiple occasions.
Ms. Zumpft asked about existing structures rather than contemplated structures.
Mr. Alltucker said it was clear the application did not comply with all land use standards because of the
razor wire and signage. The other issue was whether reasonable conditions could be applied to make it
comply with the standards.
Ms. Zumpft commented that there was a lot of concern about screening. Depending on the time of the
year, the trees would not be a viable screen. She questioned whether screening was supposed to be in
place for any and all residences regardless of the elevation or the location on the lot. Mr. Player
commented what could be done in terms of screening. He remarked that one tow truck was not the same
as 100 vehicles. He commented on the impacts of light, noise, and dust on adjacent property owners and
surrounding properties.
Mr. Player commented that the facility must be located on a dedicated road and this was actually on a
driveway. Mr. Dansie clarified that the proposed use shall be located on a public street. In the past, it
was interpreted that the parcel itself where the use was located must have frontage on a public dedicated
street.
Mayor Smith asked if the applicant was willing to make it a dedicated street. Mr. Madsen expressed his
willingness to do so and did not consider it to be an issue. If that were the case, the road would become

the responsibility of the Town. The Council would need to determine whether they were willing to take on
such a responsibility.
Mr. Chambers commented that 80,000 square feet was a large piece of land and was next to the
wilderness area. He questioned how the Town could mitigate negative impacts from the lawful use of the
wilderness area.
Mr. Alltucker commented the entrance fed onto the bike path where there was very little site distance.
He indicated that it could create a public problem. He felt that serious consideration should be given to
the impact on municipal services. Several comments were made about the wilderness area and Blue
Heron rookery. He was unsure whether the impacts could be mitigated. He questioned how they could
dismiss the request since the existing conditions were not being complied with.
Mr. Chambers commented that recently the Council had the unpleasant task of reviewing businesses
and making them come into compliance. In a few cases, business licenses were revoked. The Council
had been clear in terms of the need to comply with Town ordinances. He questioned whether they could
move forward since the property was in violation. Mr. Dansie stated the standard for the conditional use
was not that the property was in violation but the proposed use was in violation of the land use standards.
The Council would need to make a finding that there was something associated with the proposed use
that violated the land use standards adopted in the ordinance. If so, the application would fail to meet
that standard. Mr. Dansie explained the Council would need to find an essential nexus between the
violations and the proposed use. The applicant must comply with the standards with the imposition of
reasonable conditions. It was noted all of the standards needed to be met.
Ms. Zumpft commented that screening could potentially be a reason to deny the request since she did not
see how it could be mitigated.
Mr. Alltucker asked if the Town was obliged to consider mitigating conditions for existing non-conforming
uses. Mr. Dansie responded that they would be considered Code violations.
Mr. Chambers explained that in the current proposed location, they had at least a 30-foot driveway. He
noted lighting would be needed. If on other side, he was uncertain of the grade and had concerns about
the entrance to Majestic View. He also noted there was no sidewalk. He questioned whether they
wanted a traffic study for the reasons mentioned.
Mr. Player stated many of the issues with the application seemed to be applied haphazardly. It was
recommended the Council address all of the items on the application in the motion. He was very
concerned about the environmental impact being so close to the flood zone and the potential impact to
neighbors. The Town ordinance preserved the right to peace, quiet, and privacy in a residential area,
which was the starting point for the request. He was not confident there were conditions that could be
imposed to mitigate the negative impacts.
Mr. Chambers mentioned another potential issue was the location of restroom facilities. He questioned
whether the Council could require them to have restrooms. Mr. Dansie stated the standards were at the
discretion of the Council and if they could link the need for public restrooms to one of those standards,
they could be required. Mr. Chambers acknowledged that parking was an issue in Town that needed to
be addressed. If the Town planned to pay to have a full parking study done it would be helpful in guiding
decisions. He felt there were a lot of unknown questions and concerns on both sides.
Mr. Alltucker stated problem areas could be identified before commencing the parking study
Mr. Chambers indicated there had been a request to have a crosswalk in this area. He wanted more
information in order to make an informed decision and asked a study be conducted.
A question was raised about what impact this had on the application. Possible options were discussed. It
was noted that once the Planning Commission makes a recommendation the Town Council had 120 days
to make a subsequent decision. Mr. Wixom commented that it would be difficult to hold the applicant to
120 days if they were required to conduct a traffic study. He was not sure whether the ordinance
requirement could be waived, even if both parties agree.
Mr. Player and Ms. Zumpft did not want to postpone a decision if there were concerns and issues related
to the standards, such as screening.
Due to the grade, angle, and bike path it was determined to be a hazardous location and would require a
traffic impact study. The remaining issues did not have to be decided on tonight. Possible options were
to provide a list of concerns that could be mitigated and request the answers in order to make a decision.
The second option was to schedule a meeting with the applicant to discuss the issues.
The list of possible impacts included:
•
•
•
The traffic impact study;
The location of the entrance and what it would look like;
How to mask 80,000 square-feet of parking;

•
Lighting;
Impacts associated with being close to the wilderness area;
Impacts on municipal services;
Dust; and the
The close proximity to residents which resulted in their peace and quiet being adversely affected.
Ms. Zumpft acknowledged that there were people on both sides of the issue. Mayor Smith commented
that he had been working on parking issues for the last two years and there was no perfect solution.
The Council Members reviewed potential general conditions. Mr. Dansie referenced the Planning
Commission’s recommendation, which centered around the impound lot. They also did not feel they had
enough information to make a decision. The Council discussed the impacts to determine if they could be
mitigated through reasonable conditions. Several questions were outstanding but there was not a lot of
information in the application to answer them.
Mr. Dansie suggested the Town Council table the matter to allow them time to study the issues and
come back more prepared to craft a motion or give the applicant more information.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to table the matter until the next meeting. The motion was
seconded by Lisa Zumpft.
Chambers: Aye
Zumpft: Aye
Smith: Aye
Player: Aye
Alltucker: Aye

Local Consent for On-Premise Banquet Liquor License for Springhill Suites, 1141 Canyon Springs
Drive – Lance Poulsen: The applicant, Lance Poulsen, was in attendance. Mayor Smith commented
that he expected no problems. Mr. Poulsen hoped for the same. Ms. Zumpft asked for clarification the
license was for private parties. Mr. Poulsen explained the banquet license was not for public
consumption of alcohol unless someone in the hotel wanted to hold a private event in the meeting room.
They were, however, seeking a beer-only license for their retail location.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to approve the Local Consent for an On-Premise Banquet Liquor
License for Springhill Suites, 1141 Canyon Springs Drive and authorize the Mayor to sign. The
motion was seconded by Adrian Player.

lodging facility located at 1214 Zion Park Boulevard (the LaFave Gallery property: Mr. Dansie
explained the request was for transient lodging at LaFave Gallery. The applicant would like to have two

vacation rental units. He noted that transient lodging in the Village Commercial Zone was a conditional
use. The Planning Commission recommended approval with one condition dealing with the potential for
loud noise coming from the units. Mr. Dansie stated no other concerns were expressed from the public
since the Planning Commission Meeting.
Kathy LaFave was in attendance to answer questions.
Community questions:
Patsy Chaffins asked if construction had begun. Ms. LaFave stated that she could construct a building on
the property without a conditional use permit. The Design/Development Review for the building had been
approved by the Planning Commission; the CUP was for the use of the building.

Public Hearing – Conditional Use Permit: Travis Barney requests a CUP for a public parking area
on property in the Valley Residential zone, on parcel number S-103-G located at 69 Flood Street
(behind the Whiptail Grill): Mr. Dansie presented the request for a conditional use permit for a 51space public parking area in the Valley Residential zone located behind the Whiptail Grill, which was
zoned Valley Commercial. The two lots needed to be combined into one but the zoning would not
change. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval with the findings
and conditions outlined in the staff report. The Commission recommended additional screening
requirements. If the Council approved the use, a Design Development Review would need to come
before the Planning Commission.
Travis Barney was in attendance to answer questions.

Wayne Hamilton asked about access and whether the applicants would use Park Lane. Mr. Dansie
explained that access would be on the south side of Whiptail Grill.
Diana Hall asked if Mr. Barney had obtained and submitted the required National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit as mandated by the Clean Water Act. Mr. Dansie explained that the
Council was considering the use of the property and specific development requirements. The NPDES
Permit was a requirement for the issuance of the building permit. It was noted that the specific design of
a storm water system was determined at the Design/Development Review.
Melanie Thatcher commented that this was one of the busiest parts of Town and the crosswalk was well
used. She questioned whether a traffic study should be required. She also wanted to understand where
the property was located and if it was in a flood plain. Mr. Dansie referenced the submitted site plan and
stated that the property was not in a mapped flood hazard area.
Richard Madsen asked if the access road came off a dedicated road. Mr. Dansie clarified the proposed
access came off of SR-9 and through the Whiptail parking area into the parking lot.
With respect to parking, the Design/Development Review would look at the property in total as it related
to landscaping.
Mr. Zambella indicated the commercial property was non-conforming. Mr. Dansie stated that aspects of
the parcel remained non-conforming although the lots were joined. Mr. Zambella commented that they
could fully develop the lot and use all of the parking for the front business as part of the parking lot. All
parking in front could be relocated to the rear lot by approving and actually increasing the density. He
was concerned that they may not be fully aware of all future uses of the property with Valley Residential
use being put into Commercial use in perpetuity.
Mr. Dansie explained that the property was in compliance with the landscape requirements.
Mr. Zambella commented that alleviating the commercial legacy of the property by allowing the lower
property to be used toward density and landscape coverage was essentially the same as a zone change.
It was noted that it was possible for the front portion to be redeveloped into a larger commercial property
and the back portion used for parking. Mr. Dansie reminded the Council that talking about what could
happen in the future was not part of tonight’s discussion.
Jack Archer asked about the 69 Flood Street property and how the access was affected. Mr. Dansie
stated that it needed to be 75 feet from any existing main structure on adjacent property in the FR or VR
zones. Mr. Archer commented that was a flaw in the ordinance because there were residences in
commercial zones that should be respected as residences. Also, the fencing and screening on the
property should be allowed to be eight feet.
Diana Hall asked for clarification about the number of parking spaces. Mr. Dansie explained that the
Planning Commission discussed the number of spaces on the property. The applicant submitted a plan
where 51 spaces would work and was determined to be the maximum number of spaces that could be
developed with the zoning restrictions, setback, and landscape provisions.
Mr. Alltucker asked if the development caused adverse impacts on public infrastructure if Mr. Barney was
willing to pay for those impacts. Mr. Barney stated that the Town would need to provide proof of the
adverse impacts. With regard to screening, Mr. Barney stated that most likely they would install an eightfoot wooden fence to screen the north side. He was also willing to construct a barrier fence. If visible
from the National Park campground, Mr. Barney was willing to screen this area too. He indicated the lot
would be paved in one to two years when he had the funds to do it.
Wayne Hamilton asked about night lighting. Mr. Barney stated there would be no lighting. In response
to a question raised, he noted the lower fence line toward the river would remain as-is so that deer could
jump over it.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to open public hearing for the conditional use permit of Travis
Barney for Parcel S-103-G located on Flood Street. The motion was seconded by Adrian Player.
Chambers: Aye
Zumpft: Aye
Smith: Aye
Player: Aye
Alltucker: Aye

Sarah Stratton, a resident, did not disagree with the proposed use. She felt the location of the lot would
affect municipal services immediately because of the existing traffic problems. Currently, there was a lot
of unsafe pedestrian and vehicular traffic and the intersection at Lion Boulevard was dangerous. She felt
adding a left-hand lane would present a problem and she remarked that she already had a difficult time
turning left. She urged the Council to consider a traffic study to address safety.
Diana Hall submitted written comments detailing her concerns about the proposed plan’s violations of
General Standards B and D. She stated the proposal would violate the privacy of residents and
exacerbate the traffic problem in an already congested space where gridlock was common. She was also
concerned about mosquitoes breeding in the illegal holding basin and runoff. She also was concerned
about noise, exhaust, pollution of the river, and human waste. She stated that there had been no
proposal to deal with the shortage of bathrooms. She recommended the restroom facilities remain open
24 hours per day.
Melanie Thatcher had concerns about how the Town Council approached the issue of parking lots in the
Valley Residential zone because she had one. She was of the opinion that similarly situated property
owners should be treated like she was. She was required to be aware of the residents and whether their
view of the parking lot would be obstructed. There was, however, no way for her to prevent her neighbors
from seeing her parking lot. She recommended the Town consider reasonable mitigation standards. She
was confident that the parking area could be screened and she preferred natural screening rather than
fencing. She thought it was arbitrary for the Town Council to decide what the residents would prefer.
She urged the Council to ensure that this and other parking lots were as attractive as possible to the
surrounding residents. She felt it was unreasonable to consider bathroom facilities. She recalled that she
was required to post a sign in her parking lot that there were public facilities in the Town Office. She was
not required to provide her own restroom facilities. She commented that her circumstances were similar
and the conditions to mitigate the negative impacts were reasonable. She felt that parking lots should be
reasonably accommodating to the standards previously set forth. She suggested that providing useful
tourist facilities should be a primary goal of the Council.
Judith Schraut commented that impact fees were paid when homes were constructed. She asked if those
who developed parking lots were required to pay similar types of fees. Mr. Dansie explained that the
imposition of impact fees depended on the nature of the development. He noted that the developers of
flat surface parking areas would likely not pay impact fees.
Mr. Madsen asked if there was a condition that Mr. Barney pay impact fees at some point in the future
and whether refusal would disqualify a property owner from obtaining a conditional use permit. Mayor
Smith explained that it was not an impact fee but a fee to provide essential municipal services that could
not be reasonably met within three months. Mr. Madsen explained the Town had set a standard for
parking lots in Valley Residential zone with the allowance of Melanie Madsen’s parking lot. The Council
was going against standards they had previously set.
Mayor Smith explained the Planning Commission only made a recommendation and it had no binding
effect on the Council’s decision.
Joy Baker stated the Town should be aware of the overall effects on the entire Town and the big issue.
She felt they should be concerned with the standard of parking lots and safety. She suggested the Town
set reasonable conditions and make it possible to have parking lots.
Rob Schwarzman stated there was a distinct difference between this property and Ms. Thatcher’s. He
commented Lion Boulevard was already congested and an approved parking lot was very different from
parking on Flood Street. Lion Boulevard became a standard because it was already being used for
parking.
Jonathan Zambella was of the belief that the proposed use did not comply with land use standards
contained in the title governing land use in Springdale and it extended and violated the General Plan and
created a zone change. It also forever changed the use of the land and removed the residential use of
the property. Increasing density and not providing adequate services with Town utilities such as
restrooms may have been an oversight that should not continue with the development of this property.
There was no further public comment.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to close public hearing. The motion was seconded by Lisa
Zumpft.

Mr. Player suggested the Council look at the general and specific standards. Ordinance 10-7A-1 stated
the purpose was to preserve the peace, quiet, and privacy of residential zones. He recommended the
Council address the standards fairly.
Mr. Alltucker had concerns about problems with pedestrians, bikes, busses, and parking backing up from
the Park. He considered it to be a “volcano” of conflicts. To add more cars to that mix was of concern to
him. He commented this would qualify as a local problem area and he felt there needed to be a traffic
impact study.
Mayor Smith acknowledged the intersection at Lion Boulevard was a problematic area. He was in favor
of pursuing a traffic study. He was familiar with this area because of all the discussion the Town had with
UDOT trying to make it work.
Mr. Chambers also raised concern with ingress and egress and considered traffic to be of significant
concern. He felt that public facilities would be an issue as well as the wildlife corridor. He noted that
many deer came up the ravine. He referenced Section 10-9B regarding wildlife corridors.
Mr. Player stated the public discussed imposing reasonable standards and felt the applicant could meet
the screening standards with an eight-foot fence as suggested by the Planning Commission. He had also
seen written comments from citizens about dealing with noxious odors, excessive noise, and the impact
on air and water quality. It was clear to him that if there was a gravel lot and cars going in and out, there
would be dust. This would clearly effect the surrounding residential neighbors. He felt that all of those
concerns could be mitigated but he was not sure how. It was recognized that the issue of municipal
services was serious given the problem intersection at Lion Boulevard.
Mr. Alltucker also raised a number of issues. Due to congestion, it could often be difficult to maneuver in
Town. The proposed parking lot would make that situation worse and negatively impact Lion Boulevard.
It was possible the ingress, egress, and traffic impacts could not be mitigated.
The issue of deer coming up the ravine was discussed. Mr. Dansie said the Town had an ordinance that
addressed the preservation of wildlife corridors. The ordinance specified the Town could restrict the use
of land, buildings, structures, fences, and walls within the Valley Residential zone to maintain adequate
wildlife corridors.
Concern was expressed the development would create a nuisance, hazard, and threaten health and
welfare, specifically because of the restroom issue.
Mr. Alltucker was not convinced the parking lot would not create unreasonable impacts on the
surrounding properties. He was also not convinced the accesses onto the public street would not require
additional municipal services. The threshold to him was whether the traffic impacts could be mitigated.
Motion made by Mike Alltucker to table and ask the applicant to conduct a traffic impact study and
continue the Council deliberations until that is received. The motion was seconded by Lisa
Zumpft.
Mark Chambers moved to amend the motion to specify what the traffic impact study is being
based on in conjunction with the Master Traffic Plan Section 4.4.1. Mike Alltucker accepted the
amendment. The amendment was seconded by Lisa Zumpft.

The Council took a short break and reconvened at 9:05 p.m.
Proposal regarding future management and responsibility of the Zion Canyon Music Festival –
Alex Pelton and Lex de Azevedo II: Lex de Azevedo II was in attendance to answer questions. He and
Mr. Pelton wanted to transition the Music Festival to an LLC and release the Town of the responsibility.
This was a concept the Council had considered previously.

Mayor Smith commented he had a difficult time authorizing payments to volunteers. He acknowledged
they were important contributors but was concerned that it could become a problem. If they wanted to
take the Festival over, he encouraged them to do so and felt this was a good year to do it. The Mayor
stated that there had been questions raised about the name Zion Canyon Music Festival. He
recommended they use the same name this year and show it was viable. If it was successful, the Town
would release the name to them. He supported the group moving ahead and making the event a
success. He did not want to delay making a decision given the time of year and the need to plan.
Revenue issues were discussed. Mayor Smith suggested the Town consider seed money to help but he
was not willing to contribute staff time. Mr. Wixom stated if the Festival was taken over by a private
entity, staff would be able to volunteer their time if they chose.
Mr. Player wanted to get the Town out of the entertainment business. He did not want employees
spending time on something that had lost money. He was in favor of it be taken over by another entity.
In order to significantly reduce costs, Mr. de Azevedo suggested holding the event at the OC Tanner
Amphitheater. As a result, they would not look to the Town for a site resource. The OC Tanner
Amphitheater would also require less police support given the fact it was a more enclosed venue. The
intent would be to hire a private security company.
Mr. Alltucker listed the expenses including accounting, insurance, permits, performer fees, contract labor,
advertising, and utilities. In terms of revenue they could expect to get funds from vendors and
concessioners, tickets, sponsors, etc. Mr. de Azevedo offered to assume expenses in exchange for the
revenues. The intent would be for them to make a clean break with the Town with no expectation other
than the Town’s consent to sell liquor.
Mr. Chambers considered this to be a great event and had worked on it as a volunteer in the past. He
said he previously had concerns with administration and staff time. In 2014, the Council discussed
transitioning the Festival but it did not happen and the Town took it back. His desire was for the Festival
to be successful and he wished Mr. Pelton and Mr. de Azevedo the best going forward.
Mr. Wixom commented the ballfield was a much better fit for the Festival than the OC Tanner
Amphitheater. The field provided a different atmosphere and experience. The one caveat was beer and
wine sales.
Mr. Chambers wanted to see a proposal from the organizers to better understand their needs. He
acknowledged the work of staff and specifically thanked Julie Hancock.
Motion made by Mark Chambers to turn the Music Festival over to Alex Pelton and Lex de
Azevedo to form a company to manage the Music Festival this year. They may make a formal
request to the Town for funding to either the General Fund or to the RAP Tax. Town staff and the
Town is no longer the sponsor. The name “Zion Canyon Music Festival” shall be on loan for one
year and will be reviewed in November at the conclusion of the Festival. The motion was
seconded by Adrian Player.
The Council discussed what would happen if the event was not successful. Mr. Wixom stated the Council
may need to have a lengthy discussion about community events. Mayor Smith wanted the current
Council to address the matter since it could change drastically with the next election.

Consideration and possible selection of the Parking Management Study consultant: Mr. Dansie
said the staff report outlined the process the Selection Committee went through to choose a parking
management consultant. Based on their review, they recommended Dixon Resources Unlimited to
perform the Parking Management Study.
Mr. Alltucker stated he had been part of the committee and commended staff for their work. The
committee studied the proposals and Dixon was the unanimous choice. The scope and contract were
being worked out and would come back to the Council in March.

Ms. Zumpft was concerned and wanted to make sure they understood the Town’s issues because they
worked for such large cities. Mr. Alltucker stated Dixon seemed interested in understanding Springdale.
He was confident they were the right choice.
Ms. Zumpft wanted the consultant to consider another public meeting to receive community input on the
study. Mr. Alltucker commented a second public open house would increase cost, but it could be added
to the contract.
Mr. Chambers thanked Mr. Alltucker for serving on the committee.
Motion by Mark Chambers to select Dixon Resources Unlimited to complete the Parking
Management Study and direct staff to work on a contract. The motion was seconded by Mike
Alltucker.

Resolution 2017-04 – A Resolution supporting the Town of Rockville and renovation of the
Rockville Bridge: Ms. Carlson reported a request was received from the Town of Rockville that morphed
into a resolution because they were trying to get additional funding support for the bridge renovation
effort. Rockville felt having Springdale publicly express support of their efforts would be helpful.
A question was raised as to whether Rockville supported the new water treatment plant. Mr. Wixom
stated they seemed to be on board and they were in negotiations with their attorney. It was stressed they
needed to get an agreement in place before closing the loan.
In response to a question raised, Ms. Carlson stated her understanding was the renovation would
increase the load limits on the bridge. It was noted the renovation was urgent to the Town of Rockville as
they were applying for funding. The Mayor noted the pipeline company and the Town of Rockville were
not the same entity. The pipeline company was a private shareholder-based water company and
Rockville was the municipality. Mayor Smith stated Rockville’s Mayor had expressed her support for the
new water treatment plant.
Motion made by Lisa Zumpft to adopt Resolution 2017-04 supporting the Town of Rockville and
renovation of the Rockville Bridge and authorize the Mayor to sign. The motion was seconded by
Mike Alltucker.
Chambers: Aye
Zumpft: Aye
Smith: Aye
Player: No
Alltucker: Aye
The motion passed 4-to-1.
Resolution 2017-05 – A Resolution expressing opposition to Bureau of Land Management oil and
gas leases near Zion National Park: Mayor Smith reported the County passed a resolution cautioning
proposed oil and gas leases on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property. He explained the
proposed land was next to Zion National Park and not advisable for the tourist industry, Springdale’s
lifeblood. Also, Toquerville was getting a new reservoir near Anderson Junction and drilling near drinking
water could cause a serious problem. He noted Toquerville would also likely oppose the gas leases.
Ms. Zumpft had brought this issue to the Mayor’s attention. Ms. Carlson stated the resolution language
was shared with Rockville and the matter was on their agenda as well. Mayor Smith reported the public
comment period was extended until March 9, 2017.
Any alternate sites were not yet known. Under the Mineral Leasing Act, a company or an individual could
ask the BLM to lease a parcel for minerals exploration. The BLM, by law, must consider the request. A
request could be made multiple times and if granted a lease was good for ten years. The BLM leases
were not as protective as communities wanted them to be. It was suggested the BLM revisit their land
use plan and amend it to be more protective. It was not a straightforward situation.

The motion passed unanimously.
Discussion and possible approval of the Cooperating Agency Memorandum of Understanding
between Zion National Park and the Town of Springdale: Mr. Wixom reported that as part of their
Visitor Use Management Plan (VUMP), the Park identified several entities outside of Zion National Park to
participate in the process as cooperative agencies. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding was
between the Town of Springdale and the Park and would govern this relationship.
Superintendent Bradybaugh said under the planning requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act, the Park had the opportunity to invite local, state, and federal agencies to be cooperating agencies.
These agencies provided specialized expertise to the planning process. The Park also invited
Washington County, Kane County, Iron County, the Utah Office of Tourism and the Bureau of Land
Management to participate too.
Mr. Alltucker appreciated the Town being considered and liked the wording in the invitation letter which
specified part of the scope of the VUMP related to adjacent communities.
Motion made by Lisa Zumpft to approve the Cooperating Agency Memorandum of Understanding
between Zion National Park and the Town of Springdale and authorize the Mayor to sign. The
motion was seconded by Mark Chambers.

Administrative Non-Action Items
Council Department Reports:
Mr. Alltucker stated the Parking Committee had several meetings with UDOT, which consumed a lot of
time. ‘No parking’ and RV signs were installed as well. Information was received from an electrical
contractor with respect to how they could salvage the existing shuttle stop lights and possibly reuse them
elsewhere. Mr. Alltucker reported the treatment ponds had a newly installed barley barrier that would
reduce and control the algae problem.
Mr. Player reported that Jeff Carlson was the new Fire Board Member filling the position of John
Callahan whose term expired at the end of 2017. He reported on the water treatment plant and stated
they recently attended a meeting and encouraged engineers to plan for three processors rather than two.
Mayor Smith reported on the Mayor’s Meeting held the previous night. One of the items discussed was
the Habitat Conservation Area (HCA), which was up for renewal. The Town was part of that and needed
to decide if they wanted to renew. The Mayor reported on the SR-9 reconstruction meeting held the
previous Tuesday. UDOT informed the Town that telephone lines shared the power lines and would need
to be buried at a cost of $250,000. They also stated a decision to do this needed to be made soon to
prevent project delays. Rocky Mountain Power needed to give the Town a bid but had been slow to
respond. Their quote was needed in order to go to the County with a request for funding.
Mr. Wixom indicated another SR-9 issue was right-of-way. He explained to bury the power lines there
were several small pieces of right-of-way that needed to be acquired. Mr. Dansie spoke with various
property owners who would need to give up small sections of property. He had received a lot of support.
Ms. Zumpft reported she recently attended the Western Zion Collaborative meeting. There was a lot
going on and several groups were participating. She indicated that she would Chair the sub-committee
for Community Character and Quality of Life. Virgin and Rockville were involved as well.
Mr. Chambers indicated a Mosquito Abatement Board Meeting would be held the following day.
General Council Discussion: It was reported about six months earlier that Larry West put conduit
illegally down his lane to connect with First Digital fiber optics. He asked those who adjoin his lane if they
wanted to participate. About one week earlier, he was contacted by the fiber company asking if he would
like to connect. The Mayor planned to speak with First Digital and South Central Communications to see
if there was interest in bringing fiber to residences. He understood the importance of providing highspeed internet for residents.

Lisa Zumpft.
