This subject site will provide additional landscaping along the bypass (SH 44), screen
outdoor storage areas, trash receptacles, exposed equipment, and provide off-street parking
pursuant to Eagle City Code and the conditions of approval for the Rocky Mountain
Business Park.
Open Space:
Because this is a commercial subdivision located within the MU zoning district, a
minimum amount of open space is not required. However, a minimum of 10% of
landscaping will be required throughout the site, pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-
2A-7 (B) (2).
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
Storm drainage and parking lot construction plans were submitted with this application
and are required to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. Lots are required to
be graded so that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to drainage easements, 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 I2-feet wide.
Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:
Hydrants are to be located and installed as may be required by the Eagle Fire District.
On-site Septic System (yes or no) - not allowed
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:
Existing trees (within the landscape strips abutting the roadways and along SH 44)
surrounding the site shall be retained.

SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
.
ECC Section 9-2-3 (B)(I-5)
Combining Preliminary and Final Plat in Minor Subdivisions: The applicant may request
that the subdivision application be processed as both a preliminary and final plat if all the
following exist:
1. The proposed subdivision does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development
in a floodplain, hillside development or the like;
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in
an acceptable form; and

provision of the Zoning Title of the City.
.
ECC Section 9-3-5 (B) - Lots shall conform to the following standards:

as when large lots are approved for septic tanks), the parcels shall be divided, where
Page 6 of 15
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2005\Rocky Mountain No.3 cd.doc
feasible, so as to allow for future re-subdividing into smaller parcels. Lot arrangements
shall allow for the ultimate extension of adjacent streets through the middle of wide
blocks. Whenever such future subdividing or lot splitting is contemplated, the plan thereof
shall be approved by the City Council prior to taking of such action.
D.
DISCUSSION:
.
Staff has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined preliminary
and final plat and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9-2-3(B) "I thru 5" (minimum criteria
to combine a preliminary and final plat), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed combined preliminary and final plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a
floodplain, hillside development or the like. Note: Portions of the Rocky Mountain
Business Park are located within the Boise River Floodplain, however, all floodplain
concerns (including all concerns outlined in ECC Title JO) were addressed with
Merrill Subdivision Nos. 1 & 2 (FPUD-2 &3-99 & FP-7 & 8-99);
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in an
acceptable form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any
provision of the Zoning Title of the City.
.
The applicant proposes to resubdivide the parcels (Lot 5, Block 3, of Merrill Subdivision No.
I, Lots 6, 7, and 8, Block 3, of Merrill Subdivision No.2) which have previously been divided
from a larger parcel; a succession of land divisions from large to small. With the platting
process, no physical change will occur to the site itself, only that the buildings will be
available for individual ownership rather than as a lease option in which all the buildings are
owned by a single entity.
.
The overall site development must comply with the requirements of Eagle City Code and the
conditions of approval for a Design Review application.
.
It is staff's opinion that this plat will not significantly affect the previously approved
subdivision plats approved for the Rocky Mountain Business Park development. In this
situation, all the lands within this property are subject to the requirements and conditions of
Rocky Mountain Business Park POD and Merrill Subdivision Nos. I & 2.
