GARDEN CITY, Utah.  May 10, 2018. Garden City Council Members discussed the various requests for licenses to do business in Garden City.

The first request was from Bear Lake Monster Storage.  Bob and Kathy Stewart asked for a license to conduct a self-storage business at 375 West Highway 89.  They were asking for a 30-day temporary permit.  The requested was approved.

Speto Investment Holdings, DBA as Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, is already renting properties in Garden City.  They needed a current license to continue nightly leasing of residential properties.  Charles Anderson is the manager.  Approval was given.

William Gough of G&G Team, LLC., requested a license to conduct a contractor business at 341 Posie Drive.  His request was granted.

Dave Stringham at Elk Crest requested the right to conduct a General Contractor business at 180 West 200 North #1.  After a brief discussion, the request was accepted.

Meghan Stringham of Styling with Meg requested a license to conduct a studio salon at 180 West 200 North.  The license was approved on condition that she meet the building code for this type of business.  Mayor Leonhardt asked that Pat Argyle, Councilperson, and Glen Gillies, Building Inspector, follow through on this item to make sure all requirements are met.

David Gordon, the owner of The Adventure Zone, requested to be given a license to conduct an amusement zone at 10 South 120 West.  He had met with the Planning Commission the week previously.  They told  Gordon that he would need to work with the City Council concerning this item.   Gillies noted that the location falls into the C1 Zone. 

Gordon reported that he had been able to lease another lot contiguous to what he had already leased so that he had enough parking for more than 600 cars.  Parking had been one of the issues when he approached the Planning and Zoning Commission.  The Council said that the bathrooms needed to be permanent.  He noted that he would meet all the architectural requirements that are in place in Garden City.  There would be power to the Porta-Potties, and they would be ADA approved.

The Council discussed this issue for a few minutes then asked about signs for advertising his business.  He noted that he would use banners instead of signs until he could get enough money together to put up the code required signs.  The Councilmembers noted that banners can only be used for two weeks.

The Councilmembers also asked about the types of foods that would be sold and if he would he be using food trucks.  He noted that they would have cotton candy, candy slushes, corn dogs, hot dogs, popcorn, etc.  The Council told him that because of laws passed last year, no food wagons were allowed on a state highway.  The Logan Road is a state highway.  Gordon reported that he would face the food trucks onto first West—not on Highway 89.

The Council told Gordon that his parking would have to be graveled.   He asked if he might get a transient license instead of a regular business license.  That way, no gravel would be needed.  Also, the other questions and items would not interfere with his business if he could just get the 10- day transient business license. 

Gordon told the Council that he would have a small trailer on the grounds for ten days for security purposes.  He noted that he would close his business at 10 p.m. each night.   Gordon was told to fill out the transient business license document.  The motion was made and passed to allow. Gordon to run his business.  Mayor Leonhardt asked Pat Argyle and Glen Gillies to work with  Gordon and the Carnival.

Amber Mckee and Jesi Earley requested to put a fitness gym in The Shed located at 208 North Bear Lake Blvd.  It was noted that four parking spaces would be required.  Gary Mckee will provide the four-parking space.  The Council then asked Jesi Earley to obtain a letter from Mckee and bring it to the City showing he will give four parking spots for this business.  This verification on paper will document this City Ordinance requirement.  Upon receipt of the letter, the license will be given.
