.
A four foot (4') wide landscape buffer, to be planted with red leaf Japanese barberry and Oregon
grape holly shrubs, is proposed between the parking lot and the south property line. Per Eagle City
Code, a five foot (5') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer is required, of which sixty
percent (60%) of the plant material is required to be evergreen plant material. The applicant
should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a five foot (5') wide (minimum)
landscape buffer between the parking lot and the south property line. The revised landscape plan
should show a mix of plant material that consists of sixty percent (60%) evergreen plant material.
The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the
Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
A three foot (3') wide landscape buffer, to be planted with red leaf Japanese barberry shrubs, is
proposed on the south, east, and west sides of the trash enclosure- Per Eagle City Code, a five foot
(5') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer is required to conceal trash enclosures when
adjacent to or in view from a residential activity or public street right of way. The landscape
buffer is required to be comprised of a minimum of sixty percent (60%) evergreen plant material.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the landscape buffer
around the trash enclosure is a minimum of five feet (5') wide and planted with a minimum of
sixty percent (60%) evergreen plant material. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning
certificate for this site.
.
.
A four and one half foot (4 W) wide landscape strip is proposed between the parking lot and Eagle
Road. Per Eagle City Code, the applicant is required to screen the parked vehicles from the public
right of way. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the
parked vehicles will be screened from view pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(K)(2)(a-
d). The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the
Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
Sheet A-2, date stamped by the City on April 8, 2004, shows approximately six percent (6%)
interior parking lot landscaping. Per Eagle City Code, a parking lot with twenty six (26) parking
spaces is required to provide a minimum of eight percent (8%) interior parking lot landscaping.

.
The applicant is not proposing a landscape island within the parking spaces abutting the building,
thus the distance between the two (2) terminus islands located on the east and west ends of these
parking spaces is one hundred-twenty four feet (124'). Per Eagle City Code, no parking space
shall be more than sixty feet (60') from an interior landscaped area. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a five foot (5') wide (minimum) landscape
island planted with one (1) shade tree and shrubs, ground cover, or grass located at the mid point
between the east and west terminus islands. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning
certificate for this site.
.
Sheet A-2, date stamped by the City on AprilS, 2004, does not show a three inch (3") deciduous
shade tree to be located in the terminus islands located on the east and west ends of the southern
parking spaces, nor within the terminus island at the west end of the northern parking spaces. The
applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a three inch (3")
deciduous shade tree to be located in the terminus islands located on the east and west ends of the
southern parking spaces (adjacent to the south property line) and within the western terminus
island located at the west end of the northern parking spaces (adjacent to the building). The
revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design
Review Board prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
Sheet A-2, date stamped by the City on AprilS, 2004, shows six (6) compact parking spaces to be
located adjacent to the building near the new pedestrian ramp proposed on the south side of the
building. The applicant has indicated that these parking spaces will be seven and one half feet (7
W) wide. Per Eagle City Code, compact parking spaces are to be located along the perimeter of
the parking lot or in those areas most distant from the structure or use being served- Parking areas
immediately adjacent to or within close proximity to the building entrances shall be designated for
standard (full size) spaces. In addition, the width of a compact parking space per Eagle City Code
is eight feet (S'). Staffrealizes that the compact spaces are to be located furthest from the building
entrances but considers this site unique in that the applicant is remodeling an existing building,
providing a paved surface for future patrons visiting this site, while bringing the site into
compliance with current ADA standards. Currently the pedestrian ramp to access this building is
located on the east building elevation, facing Eagle Road. It is the applicant's intent to move the
pedestrian ramp to the side of the building which will create a central location in which one may
use the ramp and enter into either office space, while creating a charming entry and plaza area that
is visible from Eagle Road. Staff recommends that the Board recommend approval of the compact
spaces in their current location as shown on Sheet A-2, date stamped by the City on AprilS, 2004.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing all compact spaces
to be eight feet (S') in width (minimum). The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for this site.
.
.
The applicant is proposing to install three (3), one hundred fifty (150) watt, high pressure sodium
light fixtures along the south and west property line of this site. The property to the south and
west of this site are residential dwellings. Per Eagle City Code, all site lighting is required to be
recessed or shielded to direct all light downward and the source of the light (including the lamp
and any nonopaque material/lens covering the lamp) shall not be directly visible by a person of
average height standing on the property line of any public right of way, or any private street, or on
the property line of any residentially zoned parcel of land or parcel of land used for residential
purposes- In addition, Eagle City Code requires that any light fixture located within fifty feet (50')
of a property line of any residentially zoned parcel ofland be a maximum of fifteen feet (15') in
height.
It is staffs opinion that the three (3) parking lot light fixtures proposed within five feet (5') of the
Page 10 of 16
K:\Planning DeptlEagle App1icationsIDrl2004IDR-40-04 drfdoc
south and west property lines will not be adequately screened from the residential properties
located to the north of this site. The applicant should be required to provide a revised photometric
plan showing the three (3) parking lot light fixtures proposed along the south and west property
lines in a different location so that the lamp and lens of these fixtures are not visible from the
residential dwellings located to the south or west or provide detailed cut sheets of bollard style
light fixture to be located along the south and west property lines. The revised site plan or cut
sheets should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the City issuing a zoning certificate for
this site.
