A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Residential Estate, suitable
primarily for single-family residential development within areas that are rural in character.
Residential density of up to one dwelling unit per two acres may be considered by the City for
this area.
Chapter 8 - TRANSPORTATION
Page 4 of 12
K:IPlmllling DeptlEagle Appli-.tionsIDrl2005IDR-59-05 land ùrf,ùo,
8.4 Goal
Plan a transportation system to serve the planned land use of the City of Eagle and its Area of
Impact.
8.5 Objective
Encourage alternative transportation fonns such as walking and biking.
8.6 Implementation Strategies
a. Work in conjunction with the Ada County Highway District (ACHD), Idaho
Transportation
Department (ITD), and Ada Planning Association (APA) to classify roadways on the City
of
Eagle Transportation/Pathway Network Maps # 1 and #2 incorporated into this
Comprehensive Plan by reference. The Maps are to assure conformity to designations as
delineated on the Land Use Map. The maps shaH be provided to the Ada Planning
Association for input into the Ada Planning Association's Functional Street Classification
Map and Regional Transportation Plan.
b. Integrate all modes of travel to support air quality improvement measures.
e. Encourage new development to provide for pedestrian, equestrian, and bicycle
circulation
in accordance with the City of Eagle Transportation/Pathway Network Maps #1 and #2,
adopted local and regional pathway plans, as may be needed for intra-neighborhood
connectivity and to ensure that bike and pedestrian traffic is not unnecessarily pushed out
onto arterials and collectors.
m. Establish and require minimum setbacks between developments and roadways and to
encourage installation of berms and landscaping for all developments to enhance safety
and to enrich the roadway and community appearance.
o. Encourage arterial and collector roadway design criteria consistent with the rural nature
of
planned and existing developments generally within the areas designated on the Land Use
Map as Residential Rural (one dwelling unit per five acres maximum) and Residential
Estates (one dwelling unit per two acres maximum) (see list of roadways below). Such
designs should include the following:
2. Sidewalks and/or pathways should meander and be separated from any roadway
edge or
curb to allow for added pedestrian safety. Topography, trees, ditches and/or similar
features may limit the distance between sidewalks and/or pathways and the roadway
edge. Easements may be needed if portions of the sidewalk and/or pathway is to be
located outside of the right-of-way.
For purposes of this section [8.6 (0)], roadways should include, but are not limited
to:
. Homer Road
. Beacon Light Road
. Floating Feather Road (from Eagle Road east to the Impact Area boundary)
Page 5 of 12
K:\Plmming DeptlEaglo AppucatiolisIDrl2005IDR-59-05 lm¡ù Orf.ùo,
. Park Lane
. Meridian Road
. Ballantyne Road
. Eagle Road (from Floating Feather Road north to the Impact Area boundary)
p. Encourage sidewalks that are separated from the curb on all streets, except for areas
where
Eagle City Code requires sidewalks to abut the curb and where existing buildings,
inordinate environmental impacts, or other impacts make setting the sidewalk back
infeasible. Meandering sidewalks should be required where space permits. A planter strip
of sufficient width for street trees between the sidewalk and roadway should be required to
provide a canopy effect over the roadways. The type of street trees used should be those
which have root systems that have proven to not cause sidewalk or curb damage when in
close proximity to such improvements.
B. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS, OBJECTIVES AND
CONSIDERATIONS:
A. General Objectives And Considerations: The following apply to the entire design
review overlay district including the DDA, TDA, CEDA, and DSDA. Additional
requirements for the DDA, TDA, CEDA, and DSDA are set forth in subsections C
through G of this section and, to the extent there is a conflict with this section, the
requirements for the DDA, TDA, CEDA, and DSDA shall control. The following,
including the provisions set forth in the Eagle architecture and site design book, contains a
listing of objectives applied to each application, and a listing of matters which shall be
considered by the design review board. The objectives are separated into two (2) sections:
site design and building design. Specific aspects of design should be examined to
determine whether the proposed development will provide a desirable environment for its
occupants as well as for its neighbors, and whether, aesthetically, the composition,
materials, textures and colors meet the intent of this article. The design review board shall
consider the following criteria in reviewing the application:
1. Site Design Objectives: The site plan design shall minimize impact of traffic on
adjacent streets, provide for the pedestrian, and provide appropriate, safe parking
lot design.
b. The impact and effect of the site development plan on traffic conditions
on contiguous streets and adjoining properties or neighborhoods;
c. The site layout with respect to separation or integration of vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle traffic patterns;
g. The required driver, pedestrian and bicycle sight distance requirements
of the project and their relationship to adjacent streets, driveways and
properties;
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(4)(b)
.
b. Any road designated as a minor arterial on the Ada County long range highway and street
map:

K:\Plmllùng DeptlEagle AppocatiOlc,IDrl200SIDR-S9-0S Imlù ùrf.ùo,
.
A minimum of fifty feet (50') wide buffer area (not including right of way) shall be provided
with the following plants per one hundred (100) linear feet of right of way: five (5) shade
trees, eight (8) evergreen trees, three (3) flowering/ornamental trees, and twenty four (24)
shrubs. Each required shade tree may be substituted with two (2) flowering/ornamental trees,
provided that not more than fifty percent (50%) of the shade trees are substituted.
A minimum five foot (5') high, maximum eight foot (8') high, berm, decorative block wall,
cultured stone, decorative rock, or similarly designed concrete wall, or combination thereof
shall be provided within the buffer area. The maximum slope for any berm shall be three feet
(3') horizontal distance to one foot (1 ') vertical distance. If a decorative block wall, cultured
stone, decorative rock, or similarly designed concrete wall is to be provided, in combination
with the berm, a four foot (4') wide flat area shall be provided for the placement of the
decorative wall. Chainlink, cedar, and similar high maintenance and/or unsightly fencing shall
not be permitted.
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(0):
Alternative Methods Of Compliance:
1. Project Conditions: It is not the intent of these landscape requirements to inhibit
creative solutions to land use problems. Under certain site conditions, a strict
interpretation of requirements may be either physically impossible or impractical.
Alternative compliance is a procedure that allows certain modifications to existing
regulations within this section. Requests for use of alternative landscaping schemes are
justified only when one or more of the following conditions apply:
a. The sites involve space limitations or unusually shaped parcels;
b. Topography, soil, vegetation, or other site conditions are such that full compliance
is impossible or impractical;
c. Due to a change of use of an existing site, the required bufferyard is larger than can
be provided; and
d. Safety considerations are involved.
2. Request For Alternative Method Of Compliance: The applicant must provide the city
with a written request if an alternative method of compliance is proposed. The request
shall state which requirement as set forth within this section is to be modified, what
project conditions stated within subsection 01 of this section justify using the proposed
alternative, and how the proposed alternative equals or exceeds said requirement.
C. DISCUSSION:
.
The applicant has proposed an alternative method of compliance regarding this application
citing topography, vegetation and other site conditions. Although the topography of the site
drops 8-feet below the grade of Beacon Light Road, Eagle City Code requires that buffering of
residential uses shall occur. It is imperative the applicant provides this buffering or proposes
an alternative form of compliance which either meets or exceeds the requirements of Eagle
City Code. The applicant is proposing to make no additional changes to the site; therefore not
meeting or exceeding the requirements of Eagle City Code.
A berm could be placed to the north of the existing residence adjacent to Beacon Light Road.
Utilizing a retaining wall would reduce the width of the berming area limit the impact on the
existing structure. The existing trees could be transplanted within the buffer area helping to
Page 7 of 12
K:\Plmllling DeptlEagk: AppljçationslDrl2005IDR-59-0S lmlù ùrf.ùo,
meet the landscape requirements.
.
The applicant has not proposed any sidewalks in this application. Tanglerose Subdivision to
the east of this development has installed the required berm as well as a meandering sidewalk
to the west edge of the property, see Exhibit "A". It is understood that there are topography
issues on this particular site, however the Eagle Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance
establishes berming as a means reducing conflict between uses, major arterials and residential,
and places significant importance on multi-modal connectivity requiring detached meandering
sidewalks along major transportation corridors. The applicants request to not install a sidewalk
will result in a gap of the sidewalk/pathway system requiring pedestrians and bicyclist to ride
in the road right-of-way or cross a major arterial to travel along Beacon Light Road.
During the approval process of Venice Subdivision (PP/FP-04-04), the City Council provided,
in Site Specific Condition #3 to allow for an alternative method of compliance for the buffer in
order to conform and provide consistency with the proposed subdivision to the east
(Tanglerose Subdivision). Eagle City Code requires an alternative form of compliance to either
meet or exceeds the standard requirements. Though staff recognizes the redundancy of a ten-
foot berm adjacent to an eight-foot grade separation the net effect to the ten-foot berm and
sidewalk connection could be achieved with a three to four foot berm and retaining wall that
would allow for the continuation of the five-foot detached meandering sidewalk from
Tanglewood Subdivision to the east.
ST AFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval with the site
specific conditions of approval and the standard conditions of approval provided within the staff
report.
