1. GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES:
Open Space, Greenbelt Areas and Landscape Screening:
Because this is a commercial subdivision located within the BP zoning district, a
minimum amount of open space is not required. However, a minimum of 10% of
landscaping (the sum of all the lots combined) will be required throughout the site,
pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7 (B) (2).
No greenbelt areas have been proposed for the development nor are any shown on the
Comprehensive Plan Transportation/Pathway Network Map #1 of 2.
The site is required to be provided with landscape screening for outdoor storage areas,
trash receptacles, exposed equipment, and to provide off-street parking pursuant to Eagle
City Code.
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
Street drainage plans shall be submitted by the applicant as required by the Subdivision
Ordinance. Specific drainage system plans are to be submitted to the City Engineer for
review and approval prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat. The plans are to
show how swales, or drain piping, will be developed in the drainage easements. Also, the
CC&Rs are to contain clauses to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and City
Attorney, requiring that lots be so graded that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to the
drainage easement, and that no runoff shall cross any lot line onto another lot except
within a drainage easement.
Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities:
Eagle City Code section 9-3-6 requires utility easements to be not less than 12-feet wide.
Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:
Hydrants are to be located and installed as required by the Eagle Fire District.
On-site Septic System (yes or no) - no
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:
The parcel has existing trees located mainly around the existing single-family dwelling
and accessory structures. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-S (B) states that existing natural
features which add value to residential development and enhance the attractiveness of the
community (such as trees, watercourses, historic spots and similar irreplaceable assets)
shall be preserved in the design of the subdivision.
Preservation of Existing Historical Assets:
Staff is not aware of any existing historical assets on the site which would be required to
be preserved. If during excavation or development of the site, any historical artifacts are
discovered, state law requires immediate notification to the state.
J. STREET DESIGN:
Private or Public Streets: Public

STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
Business Park
Suitable primarily for the development of technical park/research and development facilities,
offices and office complexes, and limited manufacturing activities, including small-scale
production, distribution, and storage of goods. Support activities may also be permitted.
All development within this land use shall be designed to be within a landscaped setting and be
free of hazardous or objectionable elements such as noise, odor, dust, smoke, or glare. Such
development should be operated entirely within enclosed structures and generate minimal
industrial traffic. Development within this land use designation should be required to proceed
through the PUD process.
Chapter 5 - Economic Development
5.4
Objective
To preserve the economic integrity of the Central Business District (CBD) and to
encourage business and industry that have minimal environmental impact.
5.5
Implementation Strategies
f.
h.
New commercial development outside of the Central Business District should
complement the Central Business District and Eagle's rural identity.
Promote additional employment opportunities and expand the economic base by a)
encouraging growth and expansion of existing businesses and industry and b)
attracting additional business and industry so residents will be provided with adequate
commercial services and facilities.
Chapter 12 - Community Design
12.3
Entry Corridors
Entryway corridors are arterial roadways that introduce both visitors and residents to
Eagle. City entryways include State Highways 44 (State Street and Alternate Route) and
55 (Eagle Road). These entrances with their landscaping (or lack thereof), commercial
Page 5 of 13
K:\PlaJllling IXptlEagLo Appli<:ationslDrl2005IDR-19-05 IaJtJ Jrf,Joc
signage and building character provide the first, and oftentimes the most lasting
impressions of the entire community. The City of Eagle has the responsibility to guide
development and redevelopment that occurs along these entryway corridors.
Design review procedures should guide future development and redevelopment of existing
uses. Depending on land uses and buildings, more extensive landscaping and fewer points
of access may be required. The design review process will afford the opportunity to
address the special features of each property and facility in a manner that will best address
the overall intent of enhancing Eagle's entryways. Eagle's entrance corridors may take on
the look of berms built adjacent to the Banbury and Lexington Hills Subdivisions.

within this development. There are some trees located in the future right of way, on the
commercial lots, and within the common areas of this development. However, the applicant has
not indicated which trees are to be removed or to be retained. Per the City Forester letter date
stamped by the City on March 29, 2005, there are a few trees on this site that are in good condition
and should be retained.
.
.
On November 23, 2004, the Eagle City Council reviewed and approved a annexation, rezone,
conditional use permit, preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat applications for
Optimist Business Park PUD (A-S-04/RZ-S-04/CU-5-04/PPUD-2-04/PP-4-04). Per the approval
of Optimist Business Park PUD, all healthy trees were to be preserved and integrated into the
design of the development, replaced on site, or a monetary amount be submitted to the City's tree
fund. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing which trees
are to be retained and which trees are to be removed in order for the Board to determine a
replacement value for any trees that are removed from this site. The revised landscape plan should
be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the City Clerk signing the final
plat.
The landscape plan date stamped by the City on March 10,2005, shows several of the eastern lots
have existing trees located on them. Each lot owner will be required to submit a design review
application for the Board to review the site, landscaping, and building design. Per Eagle City
Code, existing trees shall be retained unless removal is approved in writing by the City.
.
The landscape plan date stamped by the City on March 10, 2005, shows a meandering sidewalk
along Horseshoe Bend Road. However, no street trees have been proposed to be located between
the back of curb and meandering sidewalk. Per Eagle City Code, an average five foot (5') wide

minimum parkway planter strip planted with shade class (class II or class III) trees thirty five feet
(35') on center is required between the sidewalk and street to provide a canopy effect over the
streets. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing shade class
trees to be located within the parkway planter strip. To provide visual interest for pedestrians the
trees should be planted on the east and west sides of the meandering sidewalk approximately thirty
five feet (35') on center. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by the
