Based on testimony from the applicant and all interested parties, together with all documentary evidence submitted concerning the application, the Eagle City Council finds the following: FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: 1. On December 20, and February 7, 1994, a public hearing was conducted by the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission. Testimony in opposition to the application was heard. The Commission recommended to Council denial of the application based on the following: 1. 2. There are no services to support the application. The actual size of the property in relation to the split of the property by the new SH55 is unclear. There is no benefit to the City of Eagle to annex. It is not in harmony and consistent with the existing land uses in the area. 3. 4. 2. On March 22,1994, a public hearing was conducted by the Eagle City Council. Testimony in opposition was presented by neighborhood property owners. There were concerns about density and comprehensive plan conflicts. 3. The records in this matter indicate all notices, and publications have occurred as required by law. The records further reflect notice of the public hearing was sent to the appropriate public and private entities with responses to the proposal being received in the City Clerk's office from those entities. Those responses are as follows: RESPONSES RECEIVED FROM ENTITIES: 12/13/93: Eagle Sewer Dist: The sewer district has not been contacted regarding this matter. This area is within the district but not annexed. There are no sewer lines in the area. The property could possibly be served via Great Sky Estates or extending the line on Hill Rd. 12/15/93: ITD: The ITD records show the property is owned by Edna Patterson. She may have deeded a portion of the property to Bruce and Kimberly. They have no objections to the annexation as 10ng as the proposed state highway 55 corridor is preserved and all parties realize that there will not be any access points (driveways, approaches, etc) allowed on state highway 55. No access will be allowed on Hill Rd. from Station 16+00 to station 20+00 (400 ft from SH 55 on Hill Rd. east of SH 55 the first and only access point will be at station 22+82. (plat enclosed) EAGLE FIRE DIST: 12/20/93: There is no opposition but the District questions if the lot size is large enough to provide separation from neighboring homes and buildings? ACHD: 12/30/93: The 2000 Urban Functional Street classification Map designates Hill Rd. as a major collector roadway. The District requires a minimum of 90 ft of right-of-way on major collectors in an urban impact area, width sufficient for 5 traffic lanes, 5 ft sidewalks, and bicycle pathways. The ultimate right-of-way will be acquired as development is occurring. District policy restrict/prohibits direct lot access to collectors. The State Highway route is to be reconstructed along a new alignment that will split this parcel as shown on the submitted vicinity map. ITD will not allow access to the highway for this parcel and access to Hill Rd. will not be allowed for 400 ft. from the intersection. ITD staff has indicated that the right-of-way for the future roadway may not be purchased for up to 4 months and the portion of the parcel to the east of the new road will become an uneconomic remnant (undevelopable). SITE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: 1. Dedicate 45 ft of right-of-way from the centerline of Hill Rd. abutting the parcel. The owner will be compensated for this from available impact fee revenues in this benefit zone. 2. The District will restrict access to Hill Rd. 3. Provide a deposit to the public Rights-of Way Trust Fund at the District for the required street improvements on Hill Rd. abutting parcel. - l' EAGLE BUILDING INSPECTOR: 1/26/94: At this time there is an existing house on the property and there has been a foundation poured for a manufactured home. The County has placed a Stop Work order due to the fact no permit was issued for the foundation. The access to the foundation is from a gravel road to the west of the existing house. There has been some survey work done in this area as evidenced by the stakes on the property. I would want to know if this survey is for road construction or for subdividing purposes. Because of the foundation having been done without a permit, and not knowing if this has been resolved with the County Building Dept., I would suggest this not be approved until such time the City is assured of the intentions of the property owners. CENTRAL DISTRICT HEALTH: A sewage permit shall be obtained prior to construction of a sewage system. 4. Written responses in opposition were received by Gary and Betty Olson. 5. The property being considered for annexation is bordered to the north by Ml (manufacturing) to the south, east and west by residential areas. 6.
