C. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(J)(4)
Major Roadways: New residential developments, including, but not limited to, subdivisions
and multi-family developments, shall be buffered from streets classified as collectors, arterials,
freeways, or expressways, to protect residential communities from noisy, potentially
dangerous, high speed roads. The "buffer area" shall be defined as the distance from the
Page 6 of 12
K:\Planning Dept\E.agle Applications\Dr\2005\DR-8] -05 land drf.doc
outside wall of the lowest story of any single-family attached or detached dwelling and the
right of way line of the roadway. The lowest story must be screened from the view of any
street classified as a collector, arterial, freeway, or expressway. This buffer is required either
on individual lots or as an easement, or as part of the common open space owned and
maintained by a homeowners' association. Any landscaping proposed to be within the public
right of way shall not be included as a part of the buffer area required below. The height for
berming/fencing, as noted below, shall be measured from the elevation of the final grade of the
adjacent roadway (measured at the centerline) to the top of the proposed berming/fencing. The
required buffer area width, plantings, and fencing are as follows:
b. Any road designated as a minor arterial on the Ada County long range highway and street
map:
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 (I') 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.
D. DISCUSSION:
. Floating Feather Road is designated in the Eagle Soaring 2025 Plan as a future minor arterial.
The applicant has proposed the buffered area to be thirty-five feet (35 ') wide to meet the
requirements of an urban collector. Minor arterials require the buffer area between the
adjacent road and the development to be fifty feet (50') wide with more plantings per one
hundred (100) linear feet than what is required for an urban collector. The applicant should
provide a revised landscape plan showing number of deciduous trees, number of evergreen
trees, and number of ornamental trees for a minor arterial. The revised landscape plan should
be reviewed and approved by staff and two (2) members of the Design Review Board prior to
the City Clerk signing the final plat.
. Keith Atkins, City Forester, submitted correspondence on October 3, 2005, noting his concern
regarding the diversity of the proposed deciduous trees to be incorporated into the
landscaping. Mr. Atkins observed there are slightly high on Tulip trees (17%) and London
Plane trees (14%) proposed. Mr. Atkins stated it would be beneficial if one or two additional
species could be introduced. The applicant should provide a revised landscaping plan
incorporating at least two (2) additional species of deciduous trees to address the diversity of
the deciduous trees proposed within the common lot adjacent to West Floating Feather Road.
The revised landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior
to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
Page 7of12
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2005\DR-!I1-05land drfdoc
. All living trees that do not encroach upon the buildable area on any lot should be preserved,
unless otherwise determined by the City Forester. A detailed landscape plan showing how the
existing trees will be integrated into the open space areas or private lots (unless approved for
removal by the City Forester and the Design Review Board) shall be provided for Design
Review Board approval prior to the submittal of a final plat. The applicant should have an on-
site meeting with the City Forester to survey all existing trees. Subsequent to the on-site
meeting, construction fencing should be installed (pursuant to the City Forester's direction) to
protect all trees that are to be preserved, prior to the commencement of any construction on the
site.
. The landscape plan date stamped by the City on September S, 2005, does not show a
connection through the landscape strips from the sidewalk to the intersections. The applicant
should provide a revised landscape plan showing all pathways, sidewalks, cross walks, etc.
coordinate with regard to connection to each other as well as connection across roadways and
planter strips. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to
the City Clerk signing the final plat.
. Staff defers comment regarding the landscaping to the Design Review Board.
