EAGLE CITY COUNCIL
Minutes
January 10, 2006
PRE-COUNCIL AGENDA: 5:30 p.m. -7:30 p.m.
1. Site Review at New City Hall buildinl!: - 660 Civic Lane (between the Library and
Post Office). The meeting will begin at 660 Civic Lane and immediately upon
completion of the site review, Mayor and Council will return to City Hall (310 E.
State S1.) for the continuation of city business.
Council returns to City Hall (310 E. State St.) at 6:15 p.m. after site visit to 660
Civic Lane.
2. Facilities Manager, Mick McCurry will provide information about the organization of
a Safe Drinking Water Committee. McCurry recommends that 5-7 people be
appointed to Eagle's Safe Drinking Water Committee. The Mayor asks that Mick
contact the people and return to Council in 2 weeks with a list of people who have
agreed serve on this Committee. Mick relays his experience serving for FEMA
helping the hurricane evacuees. Gives an update with the Lexington Hills Park pump
house. After speaking with Vem Brewer, the thought is to combine the OK Park
restroom and the pump house put out for bid at the same time. The pump house
funding is connected to the judicial confirmation. Mayor wants to go ahead and get
bids as the pump house is a security issue and directs him to tie the two projects
together and go get three bids.
7. City Attorney Report: Buxton notes that a roof warranty for the new city hall building
may be extended for $1300. The current warranty is for 10 years and could be
extended to 15 years. Discussion. Council could take action later in the meeting
under new business. The Mayor would like information provided to Council for
review and bring it to Council at the next Council meeting. City Attorney would like
an item to be added to Unfinished Business regarding the City Purchase of water
storage tank site from Ada County. Ted Argyle has indicated that instead of the
$20,000 per acre that had been agreed to during the site visit, the Commissioner's
have directed him to request $25,000 per acre from the City.
4. City Engineer Report: Mr. Brewer the City has applied for a 404 permit on behalf of
the Dry Creek Pathway underpass under Highway 44. The proposal for a pathway on
the east side of the three section bridge is to excavate the fill material and construct a
concrete surface in there, and then attach the pathway. In so doing it would improve
the carrying capacity of the present structure. ITD commented that they wanted all of
the structure and area to pass the flood flows and they have recommended that the
City do another flood analysis. The counter proposal that Holladay Engineering is
proposing is to remove the material back down to the base that was part of the ITD
original permit, and then excavate down another 6 inches and put our sidewalk so that
in fact our sidewalk would pass the same amount of water that was applied for and
permitted with the ITD grid. The sidewalk would actually be placed at grade and
there would be no net loss. Discussion. Discussion of drainage swales and recent
discussions with ACHD regarding meteorological events that have caused water to
accumulate in drainage swales.

development agreement.
Mayor opens the public hearing.
Jack Stewart's testimony that was giving during public comment will be considered for
this item. See above.
Mayor swear is John Heimer.
John Heimer 4201 N. Blue Wing Place Boise, Idaho. Feels the river could be better
utilized. Nothing has been talked about river access for this project. It doesn't need to be
an elaborate concrete ramp, just a little place where you could get a boat in and out of the
rIver.
Mayor swears in Cheryl Bell.
Cheryl Bell 1758 N. Mansfield Way Eagle, Idaho. Opposes any high density along the
river and the impact oftraffic would be significant. Would like to preserve the view of

mountains and rivers, and what makes Idaho special. Feels that recreational opportunities
along the river should be tapped into.
Zoning Administrator requests that letter from Eagle River dated January 10,2006 and
the letter from Steve and Susan Churchman dated January 9, 2006 be included in the
record.
City Attorney suggests that if Council requires a traffic study that the public testimony
should be left open so the public would have an opportunity to review the document and
comment on it.
Mr. Longson rebuts testimony. States that they will be seeking a traffic study prior to
preliminary plat. Discussion regarding traffic.
Kirk Hansen, ACHD liaison. Reads an excerpt from an e-mail from Kristy Richardson
with ACHD. "If the City is seeking more input on this application in regards to the
roadway classification system they can defer it and work with us to generate more
comments when we received it they still had a site plan that was changing everyday. We
could also require that a traffic study to be conducted now rather than later down the road
and would be happy to provide comments."
Longson comments on pad size. Discussion between Council and Mr. Longson. Guerber
feels that this type of application may be appropriate as long as the Council pays close
attention to set backs and other items. Nordstrom feels that approval of this project may
be contingent on a traffic study but in general likes the development. An effort should be
made to try and drive people to utilize the open space that is provided within the proposed
development. Is somewhat concerned that the development may be proposed with too
high of a density. Mayor would like to know who these residences will be marketed to.
She states that there are no recreation amenities and the proposal is, too dense. She could
not support anything more than 10 units per acre and would not support big box
development or drive-thrus within this development. Mayor feels that detaches sidewalks
are a must and does not think that private streets are a good idea. Bastian is concerned
with proposed setbacks, feels that sidewalks should be on both sides of the street and
planter strips should be required, expresses concern with some of the proposed private
streets, feels the narrow streets with high density is a bad combination for parking. Bandy
agrees with a lot that has been stated by the other Council members. Feels that it may be
a little too dense, but likes the idea of this type of development especially with the
potential development of surrounding properties. Likes Council member Bastian's
suggestions about private and public streets. General discussion.
The Council would like to see public streets, sidewalks on both sides of the street with
separated sidewalks with a planter strips and a tree lined boulevard for streets. The
streets proposed as 24' are too narrow. Ifno parking is allowed on the streets 24' would
be fine, but as soon as people start parking along these narrow streets it becomes
something of a hazard.
Mr. Longson expresses dismay that the direction he has received from the Planning and
Zoning Commission and staff is drastically different than what Council is expressing
tonight. Discussion.

We would like to go on record in opposition to the proposed high- density development
on the land at Riverside Drive owned by Representative Otter. This type of housing is
available to those who wish to live in it at Hidden Springs and Harris Ranch as well as
several developments in the Meridian area. We do not need to spoil the rural, spacious
beauty of our town with this type of housing. There are a lot of us who do not want to
hear our neighbor's toilet flush in the night and Eagle should remain the choice for us.
We are former California residents and this is just the type of development we were
trying to get away from when we came to Eagle. We do not oppose growth, we know it
is coming. Keep Eagle's growth to half -acre or larger lots for those who wish to
maintain a high quality of life. Please uphold the high standards you have held to in the
past and protect the tranquility and openness of our community. Don't let Eagle become
just like every other town in the Treasure Valley.
JUST SAY NO TO HIGH- DENSITY DEVELOPMENT!!
Respectfully,

RE: Development of Lonesome Dove Ranch
Ladies & Gentlemen,
My name is Jack Stuart, and I live at 246 S. Neskowin Way, Eagle, ID. I moved
here from California a few years ago to get away from the growth and density you are
now considering for the Lonesome Dove Ranch. As a 4th generation native of California,
my friends asked me how I could leave. As a Navy veteran of WW II, I told them I was
deserting a sinking ship!
May I respectfully suggest that your first duty and responsibility is to the citizens
of Eagle who voted you into office. How will development of Lonesome Dove affect
them? Can you imagine what it will do to our already overloaded streets? 14 residences
per acre!! Doesn't this violate the General Plan you have all promised to uphold? It is
not our responsibility to house all the invaders of Treasure Valley.
Development is favored by developers, sellers of raw land, real estate agents,
Chambers of Commerce who want more customers for their members, bureaucrats who
see their departments and salaries increasing (empire building), and politicians who see
increased tax revenue for them to spend. Those opposing development are the citizen
taxpayers who must tolerate increased taxes to pay for infrastructure to accommodate
growth, and congestion and pollution that detracts from their quality of life.
We must admit that growth is inevitable. Your challenge is to control it and make
it pay its way. You have the power to fulfill this responsibility. In the early 70's the City
of Petaluma, CA, 30 miles North of San Francisco, was experiencing explosive growth
that was overwhelming their city. The Petaluma City Council enacted an ordinance that
limited construction of new homes to 500 per year, with criteria to aid in the selection of
applications. Of course, the National Association of Home Builders filed suit, and the
case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, who decided that a sovereign city had
the constitutional right to control the use of land within its boundaries.
In the early 60's when growth became a big controversy, the American Institute of
Architects commissioned a study to determine the effects of growth. They found that
almost all adverse factors in the human condition increased per capita with increased
Eagle City Council Page 2
density, such as taxes, crime, welfare, sickness, divorce, congestion, pollution, juvenile
delinquency, even corruption, etc., etc. Is this what we want for our beautiful Eagle?
Those politicians who anticipate increased tax revenue fail to realize that
the increased revenue will not be enough to pay for the increased infrastructure needed to
accommodate the growth, such as schools, police, fire, roads, water and sewer, etc., etc.
Therefore, taxes will be increased. Can you find a larger city with a lower tax rate?
Growth always increases taxes. If the growth is rapid, the City will never catch up with
the need for infrastructure. To ask the existing taxpayers, who have already paid for their
infrastructure, to pay for additional infrastructure to accommodate growth, and the
destruction of their peaceful lifestyle is an insult. Therefore, I strongly recommend a
substantial impact fee be placed on all building permits to pay for the increased
infrastructure needed to accommodate the new building. This would not only pay for
infrastructure, but it would increase the cost of new construction, and slow it down to a
more manageable rate.
Growth is a huge problem. You have the power to control it. May God bless you
with WISDOM to know what is right to do, and the COURAGE to do it.
Respectfully,

Re: Project# A-12-05/RZ-19-05 Hawkins Companies
Dear Mayor Merrill and Members of the City Council
This letter is to formally request that you continue the above matter because:
1) We did not receive notice of the application and as such have not been able to
review it in detail.
2) The Plan seems to ignore the traffic issues facing the area including:
a) The Frontage Road requirement of all properties south of the SH44/55
and East of Eagle Road up to the proposed Three Cities Crossing.
b) The Traffic impact on Riverside Drive and the Intersection of Riverside
and SH 55/44
c) The width of Riverside Drive is only 2 lanes in the area north of the
proposed Project and the Intersection with SIi55/44 does not even allow
free right turns if someone is waiting to go north. This is fine for now but
not after intense additional developmental impacts.
d) The overall Traffic Impact on the Road System with particular regard not
only to this Development but also how this Development fits in to the
almost certain additional developments both East and West of it.
3) We hope that the limits unposed by the City of Eagle on Eagle River, such as the
Retail Building size limit and overall Retail Development size limit, will be
proportionally enforced on this project.
4) Given the "Big City" density of the subject Property, a comprehensive Traffic
Study could be very helpful in addressing many of the above issues.
I will be happy to meet with you and /or the Hawkins group representatives on this matter
at any time.
Sincerely
Eagle River, LLC

LANDSCAPE, SITE DESIGN, AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Overview and Purpose
The purpose of the Design Guidelines is to provide an aesthetic roadmap for the development of the
Lonesome Dove project within the highly visible and scenic city of Eagle/ Boise River context.
The guidelines also acknowledges that the development will occur over time, thereby requiring a
means to ensure landscape, site design, and architectural harmony prevail as desired by the City set
forth in Eagle City Code 8-2A Design Review Overlay District.
The retail/commercial, townhouses and condominium elements of this project fall within the design
review regulations set forth in Eagle City Code 8-2A Design Review Overlay District.
Administration of Design Guidelines
The property developer and/or successor will have design review responsibilities for all site
development, landscape and architectural components. This review and approval process will
occur by the developer prior to being forwarded to the City of Eagle for its review as part of any
required land use, building, or design review application.
General Applicability
All development within the Lonesome Dove property, including but not limited to commercial,
office, retail, flex space, multifamily, and residential projects is subject to these Guidelines. They
shall be consistent with those set forth in Eagle City Code 8-2A-1 thru 8-2A-19, Design Review
Overlay District, the Comprehensive Plan, and other applicable requirements set forth by the City
of Eagle. In case of conflict, the `higher standard' interpretation shall prevail.
• Flexibility: These guidelines are intended to depict the general nature of the architectural
character while allowing sufficient flexibility for development to accommodate the evolving
market, remain economically viable, support the purpose and goals of the City of Eagle, and
respond to site and other conditions as necessary while keeping within the desired character
of the project to the extent possible.
Design Intent
The intent of the Design Guidelines is to provide a harmonious and integrated development of
commercial and residential buildings sharing common streets, trails, wetlands, and open spaces.
The general theme of the City of Eagle is to emphasize Northwest, arts and crafts and "Craftsman"
architectural styles and appropriate materials. To achieve this goal it is not necessary to slavishly
copy older existing buildings and use of materials. Architectural character for new buildings can be
achieved by proper use of traditional elements such as sloping roofs, dormers, parapets, cornices,
window and door styles, and attention to correctly executed details which have and will continue to
stand the test of time. Scale, proportion, style and color of all buildings as they relate to each other
and the open area around them is important and necessary to establish and maintain a strong sense
of community, specifically the character the City of Eagle seeks to achieve.
Submittals
All site development within the Lonesome Dove project area shall conform to the current zoning
and development guidelines established by the City of Eagle and which will be supplemented by
the project area covenants, conditions, and restrictions. All design documents submitted to the City
of Eagle Design Review Board for landscape design, site design, and architectural design shall be
in accordance with those described in the Eagle City Code 8-2A-1 thru 8-2A-19, Design Review
Overlay District, and the Comprehensive Plan.
Maintenance
All parcel(s) within the Lonesome Dove project area shall be maintained in accordance with those
provisions set forth in its covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R's).
1.0 SITE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES
1.10 General
The term Site Development as used in this section, refers to the siting of structures and the
placement of related improvements on individual parcels within the Lonesome Dove
project. This includes but is not limited to parking lots, service areas, walkways, sign or
identification structures, lighting, etc. The objective of the site development guidelines is
twofold: 1) to support and amplify the City of Eagle City Code 8-2A-1 thru 8-2A-19,
Design Review Overlay District and 2) to recognize the unique nature and location of the
property within the City of Eagle fronting the Boise River.
1.20 Site Development Theme
The site development theme acknowledges that the Lonesome Dove project is situated
within the 100 year flood plain, contains a small amount of wetlands and fronts the Boise
River riparian floodway which is contained with a dike. The basic site development
concept is to gently elevate building pads and provide sufficient ponds on the site such
that the overall site will result in no net loss of floodplain holding capacity. In addition
building pad sites will be two feet above the 100 -year flood plain.
1.2.1 Design Objectives
The site development design guidelines for individual parcels reflect several important
goals: to strengthen the area's identity and create a unique and aesthetically pleasing
environment within the context of the City of Eagle. The objectives underlying the
thinking behind the design guidelines are stated as follows:
• To establish a development area that is visually distinctive and memorable to its
users and residents.
• To encourage development in the area which is visually understandable and
meaningful to its users.
• To encourage the design of buildings and exterior spaces in the area to be of an
overall high Quality and appropriate character yet diverse enough to reflect a variety
of expression and creativity.
• To create pedestrian scale in the design of streets, parking areas, buildings and
spaces between buildings.
• To soften and enhance the appearance of buildings and structures.
• To creatively protect and enhance the Boise River natural environment, which
abuts the property.
• To creatively strive for no net loss of floodway holding capacity.
• To create visual unity in the design of site development and buildings within each
project parcel.
1.2.2 Design Standards for Main Entrance off of Riverside Drive (North South Road)
The following standards apply to all the main entrance to the development off of
Riverside Drive. This is the road that goes from the intersection off Riverside directly
south to the main plaza area. This road is a private road, owned and maintained by the
Lonesome Dove Association.
• All crosswalks are 10 feet wide.
• All crosswalks are handicapped accessible. A drop curb is required at corners to
facilitate wheelchairs and strollers.
• The pedestrian pathway is separated from the street by a minimum five (5) foot
wide planting strip.
1.2.3 Design Standards for the road that intersects Riverside Drive to the west of the main
entrance and then travels eastward towards the property that borders this
development on the eastern boundary.
See Exhibit "D"
1.2.4 Section At Entry of Riverside Drive
See Exhibit "D"
1.2.5 Signage at Entrances of Residential Areas
Within the framework set forth in the architectural guidelines related to materials, colors,
etc., encourage individual expression at entryways by allowing freestanding structures
which incorporate signing, lighting, and landscaping and which enhance the visual
identity from the street. The purpose of this guideline is to create a sense of arrival and
should be oriented to both pedestrian and automobile.
• The design of entryways should always relate to the design of other buildings in
the development parcel in terms of materials, scale, and color.
• Signs identifying the names of tenants or buildings may be incorporated into the
entry.
• Entryway designs should integrate signage in a way that respects the architectural
design integrity of the entryway.
• Entryway signs may be placed on the property line without a setback requirement,
provided that views of traffic are not obstructed as per current City of Eagle
Standards.
• Street trees should not be located in front of entryway signs.
1.2.6 Trees In Parking Lots
Trees in parking lots are required to create smaller and friendlier spaces for people, to
maximize the positive environmental effects that trees provide, and to reduce the impact
of solar gain on cars and buildings.
• Landscape planting area requirements for parking lots will be as described in the
City of Eagle Code 8-2A-7.
• Provide medium sized trees within the parking lot at the density described in the
City of Eagle Code 8-2A-7.
• Use trees to make smaller human -scaled spaces within parking lots and to soften
the overall appearance of larger parking lot areas.
• Locate the trees to allow for frame visibility of entries, signage, and to provide
overall appropriate visibility for retail businesses.
Section at Retail Area Parking Lot
• Use a species of tree which will permit initial limbing of seven (7) feet. Prune
trees regularly to achieve an ultimate minimum limb height of 12 feet.
• Protect trees from overhanging bumpers with concrete curbs and allow for a
minimum of three (3) feet between the curb and the center of the tree trunk.
• Use one tree species in parking lot areas unless developments are extraordinarily
large or where visual distinction would be appropriate. For variety, vary tree species
from development parcel to development parcel.
1.2.7 Parking Lot Screening
To reduce the visual impact of row upon row of parked cars and the glare of headlights at
night, screen parking lots from view along borders with public streets. The creation of
high walls however, should be avoided because of potential security and safety problems.
Maximum screen height is to be three feet or as described in the City of Eagle Code 8-2A-
7. This enables people to see out and be seen from the street and cars.
• Parking lot screens may be made of all plant material or a combination of low
walls or earth berms and supplementary plant material.
• The plant material in all -plant walls should be of such a type and number to reach
a height of three and a half (3 1/2) feet within three years and to be approximately
75% opaque year round.
• Designs for wall screens shall include some low foundation plant material to
visually soften the wall. Walls may be constructed of wood, masonry, or concrete.
Walls shall be generally sight -obscuring.
• A minimum height of 42 inches is recommended (to hide shiny car bumpers,
metal grilles and headlights) with a maximum height of four (4) feet to permit visual
surveillance to and from the street.
1.2.8 Bank, Laundry and Pharmacy with Drive -up Service Orientation and Screening
Visually screen drive thru lanes from view along public streets.
• Wherever feasible, orient the drive thru lane to be perpendicular to public streets.
This will reduce any possible confusion created from headlight glare into oncoming
traffic.
• Screening may be accomplished using plant material or a combination of low
walls or earth berms and supplementary plant material.
• The plant material in all -plant walls should be of such a type and number to reach
a height of three and a half (3 1/2) feet within three years and to be approximately
75% opaque year round.
• Designs for wall screens shall include some low foundation plant material to
visually soften the wall. Walls may be constructed of wood, masonry, or concrete.
Walls shall be generally sight -obscuring.
• A minimum height of 48 inches is recommended (to hide shiny car bumpers,
metal grilles and headlights) with a maximum height of four (4) feet to permit visual
surveillance to and from the street.
1.2.9 Service Area Screening
Visually soften and screen all service functions within the retail, office, and flex space
portions of the development from public views. (See architectural guidelines.)
• Screen dumpsters and recycling bins from public view with plant material or with
a combination of screen walls and plant material. All walls should be constructed of
durable materials able to withstand normal use. The screen walls are to incorporate
the same material as used in adjacent building structures.
• The height of plant materials and walls should be equal to the height of the
dumpster and / or recycling bin unit at the time of installation.
• Visually separate loading dock areas from public view with landscaping or walls
and landscaping.
1.2.10 Walkways and Pathways
Create an interconnected walkway and path system that will connect all parcels within the
Lonesome Dove project area.
• Provide one or more walkways which directly link the pedestrian entrances of
businesses within the retail and office development to the public pathways.
• Interconnect development parcels with pathways located along direct desire lines.
• Differentiate walkways within the retail and office development from parking area
paving by using a contrasting paving material.
• Walk and path surface pattern and scoring depth must be compatible with the
comfort and safety needs of pedestrians, especially the elderly and the handicapped.
1.2.11 Design Standards for Street Lights
• All lighting shall be a "Dark Sky" style of lighting.
• All street lights are to be pole mounted non -glare luminaires.
• All luminaries are to have an internal shield and/or reflector, which directs the light
beam downward to the traveled surface.
• All streets, courts, cul-de-sacs, and parking lots are to be illuminated. The
minimum light level is to be .25 foot candles.
• All native trails, internal foot or bicycle paths, and recreation areas not otherwise
located along a street are to be illuminated. The minimum light level is to be .25
foot candles.
• Metal Halide lighting is prohibited.
1.2.12 Walkway and Pathway Lighting
Provide lighting along all walkways and pathways.
• Minimum footcandles along walkways should be not less than .25 footcandle and
not more than 6-8 footcandle directly under the luminaire.
• Avoid dark spots and abrupt changes in light levels.
• Select fixtures which are harmonious with the design of the development and
which have a pedestrian scale.
• Metal Halide lighting is prohibited.
1.2.13 Site and Landscape Lighting
Create site and landscape lighting to promote safety, security and visual attractiveness.
• Use fixtures with indirect light sources (i.e., concealed from the users' line of
sight) such as ground mounted lights or foliage lights.
• Avoid creating dark spots which invite crime.
• Help mitigate the effects of night blindness by avoiding any sudden changes in
light levels.
• Use site and landscape lighting as a means to harmonize the building and the site
and landscape areas.
• Metal Halide lighting is prohibited.
1.2.14 Parking Lot Lighting
Create parking lot lighting which promotes a sense of safety, security and which is
visually attractive.
• Use shielded type fixtures to minimize problems of glare.
• Minimum footcandles in parking lots should not be less than 1/2 footcandle and
not more than 8-10 footcandle directly under the luminaire.
• Avoid dark spots and abrupt changes in light levels.
• Select fixtures which are harmonious with the design of the development.
• Metal Halide lighting is prohibited.
2.0 LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
2.1.1 General
The term landscape as used in this section refers to those elements which give form and
character to the physical and natural environment of the Lonesome Dove project area.
Those elements include but are not limited to the placement and variety of planting
margins, sidewalks, paths and trails, wetlands and drainage swales, lighting, screening of
service roads, entry features, special features, etc. Providing for a desirable "nature like"
or "park like" setting in the context of the Boise River riparian environment is the goal of
this section of the design guidelines. Standardizing this landscape within the broader
framework of the Eagle City Code 8-2A Design Review and Overlay Districts.
2.1.2 Landscape Theme
Because of its location within the Boise River flood plain the landscape theme for the
Lonesome Dove project is to be a generalized reflection of the natural plant materials and
growing conditions commonly found within the localized geographical area. The use of
cultivars is encouraged insofar as they enhance the riparian landscape associated trees and
shrubs.
2.1.3 Design Objectives
The design guidelines for public rights of way reflect several important goals; to
strengthen the area's identity, to create a pleasant pedestrian environment, and to achieve
efficient and safe traffic flow. From these goals a number of objectives explain the
purpose of the recommended design guidelines.
• To establish consistency in the design of streets within the Lonesome Dove project
area.
• To create a strong visual framework through street design which unifies the project
and which provides the background for individual expression in the design of
specific project areas and parcels.
• To create streetscapes which are visually distinctive and memorable to users and
residents of the project and thus strengthen the identity of the site within the context
of the City of Eagle.
• To create streetscapes which aid in the visual understandability of the area by
visitors, residents, and other users.
• To increase pedestrian accessibility, safety, and comfort throughout the project.
• To improve traffic flow and safety in the entire Lonesome Dove project area.
2.1.4 Design Standards for Main Entrance off of Riverside Drive (North South Road)
See Exhibit D
• Large canopy trees are placed at approximately 35 foot intervals within the
curbside planting strip. At street and driveway intersections trees are located with
respect given to A.C.H.D. clear vision standards.
• All street trees have a minimum four (4) inch caliper and are limbed to a
minimum height of 8 feet at the time of installation.
• The property owner fronting the street provides a minimum of five (5) feet of
planting between the edge of the pedestrian path and edge of any site development
(parking lot screens, landscaped areas, etc.) except at entryways where design
flexibility is required.
• Pedestrian crosswalks which cross three -lane collectors, collectors or local roads,
or major driveways to developments are paved in concrete. Where concrete
crosswalks abut asphalt streets or driveways, a proper transition is required between
the concrete and asphalt to avoid excessive wear and damage.
• Pedestrian crosswalks, which cross four -lane streets or any other exceptional
heavily traveled street, have 10 foot wide crosswalks defined by a pair of 12 inch
painted lines.
2.1.5 Landscape Standards for interior roadways
The purpose of the street tree standard is to provide a clear basis for selecting the
appropriate type of tree for each street in the Lonesome Dove project. The visual
importance of street trees is critical to the identity of the area. In summary, trees provide
the visual glue which tie together the streetscape. Street trees bring visual order by
providing a unifying element which allows individual expression to distinctly occur.
Their form, foliage, color, and smell create special character for a particular street.
It is important that all streets have some individual personality. This variation helps users
to know where they are in the area. It also contributes to the uniqueness of the area. The
suggested guidelines below therefore build on the present City of Eagle policy but offers
some variation so that individual streets will take on special color and personality.
• Flowering trees such as flowering pear and crab are recommended in each
residential cluster, loop, or cul-de-sac. These trees should vary in variety from
cluster to cluster and to each residential unit.
• Medium-size canopy trees are placed at approximately 35 foot intervals between
the curb and sidewalk.
• All trees and associated groundcovers or lawn areas are to be irrigated with
underground, automatic systems.
• All street trees have a minimum three (3) inch caliper and are limbed to a
minimum height of 7 feet at the time of installation.
• The property owner fronting the street provides a minimum of five feet (5') of
lawn or groundcover between the edge of the sidewalk and edge of any site
development (parking lot screens, shrub landscaped areas, etc.).
• Pedestrian crosswalks which cross collectors or local streets, or major driveways to
developments are paved in concrete. Where concrete crosswalks abut asphalt streets
or driveways, a proper transition is required between the concrete and asphalt to
avoid excessive wear and damage.
• The abutting property owner is responsible for maintaining the improvements
within the public right of way from the property line to the edge of the curb. This
includes street trees, groundcover areas, irrigation and sidewalks.
• The entrances to the residential areas are to be defined with a raised feature planted
island and identification sign.
2.1.6 Plant Material
The use of semi -mature plant materials is important to establish the character of the
development. The use of more mature plant material allows for more immediate
enjoyment and provides a more finished look to the development. At a minimum the size
at time of planting should be that which is set forth in the City of Eagle Code 8-2A-7.
2.1.7 Native Vegetation
Make extensive use of native plant material (trees, shrubs, and groundcovers) in the
design of landscape areas. Non-native ornamental plant material can be used to expand
the creative palette of the landscape designer provided the plants are hearty and
compatible in character with native material.
• Retain as many existing trees as possible with calipers of four inches or greater.
Retain understory vegetation which supports wildlife habitat.
• Add trees to groups of existing trees to visually expand and enhance the presence
of the native plant environment.
• Include sufficient evergreen plant material within a development to create some
year-round foliage effect. Possible locations include: service areas, along borders
with residential areas, along blank walls, and on parking islands.
3.0 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
3.1 General
The term architectural design as used in this section refers to the design of all buildings on
individual parcels within the Lonesome Dove project including but not limited to
commercial, retail, office, flex space, multifamily and residential projects. The objective
of the architectural design guidelines is two fold;
1) To support and amplify Eagle City Code 8-2A-1 thru 8-2A-19, Eagle Architecture and
Site Design Book and Overlay Districts; and
2) To recognize the physical scale and scope of the project with its unique proximity to
both downtown Eagle and the location of the proportion fronting the Boise River.
3.2 Architectural Theme
The architectural theme acknowledges that the Lonesome Dove project will represent a
significant commercial and residential expansion next to the center of downtown Eagle. It
is important therefore that the architectural character of the Lonesome Dove project be
harmonious with that described in the Eagle City Code 8-2A-1 thru 8-2A-19. The
architectural theme will emphasize the Northwest Craftsman style incorporating
appropriate building materials used in a supportive fashion. The design intent of the
architectural character purposively amplifies the quiet rural tradition of historical Eagle.
3.3 Design Objectives
The following architectural design objectives generally apply to all building types within
the Lonesome Dove project including but not limited to commercial, office, flex space,
multifamily, and residential projects. Together these architectural objectives constitute
the core design guidelines for the buildings.
• Mass and Proportion: Buildings shall be of a scale and proportion that relates well
to adjacent buildings without dominating, overwhelming or appearing insubstantial
in relationship. Long walls shall be relieved with offsets, bays, projections or other
architectural features.
• Character: Buildings shall be visually consistent with adjacent buildings and
reflect their designated use without intentionally copying materials, details and
colors except where it is an advantage to do so, such as canopies, trellises and
elements that help define several structures as part of an intended group.
• Roofs and Roofing: Sloping roofs such as gables and hips are required on smaller
buildings and encouraged when appropriate on larger buildings, or portions of larger
buildings. Decorative mansards on large buildings are not allowed, however,
parapets, cornices and other detailing is acceptable. Materials for sloping roofs
should be appropriate to the scale of the building and can be asphalt or composition,
wood shingles or shakes, flat concrete tiles, or metal with standing or batten/rib
seams.
• Windows: Windows shall be in proportion with the building facade and individual
glazing panes shall not be over -sized. Horizontal as well as vertical mullions are
encouraged to give the appearance of a 4 -over -1 or 6 -over -1 sash windows. Styles
shall be historically consistent with the architectural character of the building.
Multiple -arched, round, sloping head and other 'trendy' window styles are
inappropriate. Shading shall be achieved with awnings, canopies, overhangs and
other architectural elements. Awnings shall be simple and of traditional materials -
lighted vinyl awnings are inappropriate. Substantially tinted or colored glazing and
interior shading films are not allowed.
• Materials: Larger and high bay buildings shall be constructed of high quality,
substantial, well -wearing materials: Brick, stucco, or concrete masonry, concrete,
stucco or EIFS (exterior insulated finish systems) with proper detailing, reveals, and
appropriate rustication. Careful attention to detail must be made to avoid a
monotonous, bland, or flat appearance. Proper lighting may be key to enhance
materials and relief on large-scale facades. Smaller and low bay buildings are
encouraged to use similar materials as well as wood sidings - horizontal or vertical
boards, boards or plywood with battens, and shingles. Local stone is encouraged and
shall be used as walls, wainscots, bulkheads, columns or plinths, but not as
decorative panels. Materials that are imitations of other materials are not permitted;
such as concrete formed to appear as stone. Appropriate combinations of materials
to modify scale and add visual interest should be considered.
• Architectural Elements: On high bay or multiple story buildings, smaller scale
features such as arcades, trellises, or canopies, as well as one story elements, shall be
used to provide pedestrian scale. Attention to detail is encouraged and shall be
proportional to the facade with the caution that elements used for only decorative
purposes are discouraged, especially when appearing out -of -place on larger walls.
• Equipment, Loading and Service Concealment: Mechanical and electrical
equipment shall be located as much as possible away from pedestrian areas and
substantially concealed with the same or compatible materials of construction as the
building. Service and delivery access, refuse and recycling containers, and the like
shall be located as much as possible away from pedestrian areas and substantially
concealed with the same or compatible materials of construction as the building.
• Color: Large walls shall be of light to medium values - white, bright hues, and
decorative painting are discouraged. Moderate changes in value and color used to
decrease apparent scale and mass are acceptable. Brighter colors shall be used in
limited areas.
3.4 Building Design Guidelines/ Commercial — see Exhibits Cl thru C4 for architectural
styles
In addition to the general architectural design guidelines, the following items apply to
commercial projects in order to ensure consistency of relationship of buildings to roads
and parking areas.
• Windows: Retail storefronts shall have solid bulkheads between the sill and
adjacent ground or paving surface except at entry sidelights.
• Relationship to parking: Main entries shall be easily visible and distinguishable
from adjacent parking areas through the use of architectural elements and shall not
rely on disproportional scaled signage. Pedestrian friendly crosswalks, trellises,
canopies, landscaped buffers and the like shall be incorporated.
3.5 Building Design Guidelines/ Offices - see Exhibits Cl thru C4 for architectural styles
In addition to the general architectural design guidelines, the following items apply to
office buildings.
• Windows: All openings shall appear as individual 'punched' windows, or groups
of openings, in lieu of ribbon windows or storefronts, except at main building
entries. All windows shall have solid bulkheads between the sill and adjacent
ground or paving surface except at entry sidelights.
• Relationship to parking: Main entries shall be easily visible and distinguishable
from adjacent parking areas through the use of architectural elements and shall not
rely on disproportional scaled signage. Pedestrian friendly crosswalks, trellises,
canopies, landscaped buffers and the like shall be incorporated.
3.6 Building Design Guidelines/ Flex Space - see Exhibits Cl thru C4 for architectural
styles
In addition to the general architectural design guidelines, the following items apply to flex
space projects.
• Roofs: On high bay buildings, the use of sloping roofs around the perimeter,
within or exceeding the depth of the structural and mechanical systems, are
encouraged as a means of visually reducing the scale when appropriate.
• Windows: All openings shall appear as individual 'punched' windows, or groups
of openings, in lieu of ribbon windows or storefronts, except at main building
entries. All windows shall have solid bulkheads between the sill and adjacent
ground or paving surface except at entry sidelights.
• Equipment, Service and Loading Concealment: Truck parking, large doors, and
loading/unloading areas shall be located within walled courts, wings of the building,
or a combination of both to substantially conceal the activity.
• Relationship to parking: Entries to office or reception areas for individual uses
shall be on the front or approach side of the building and shall be easily visible and
distinguishable from adjacent parking areas through the use of architectural elements
and shall not rely on disproportionally scaled signage.
3.7 Building Design Guidelines/ Residential - see Exhibits Cl thru C4 for architectural
styles
In addition to the general architectural design guidelines, the following items apply to
duplex and single family residential projects.
• Mass and Proportion: Houses shall be of a scale and proportion that relates well to
adjacent houses without dominating, overwhelming or appearing insubstantial in
relationship.
• Character and Style: Houses shall be visually consistent with adjacent houses and
reflect residential use without intentionally copying materials, details and colors
except where it may be an advantage to do so, such as fences, exterior lighting,
paving materials and elements that help define an integrated community. Facades
shall not be over -styled with inappropriate decorative elements lacking respect for
traditional precedent.
• Garages: Enclosed garages attached to or separated from the house shall be of the
same architectural character and materials, and painted with compatible colors.
Consideration should be given to setting garages back from the front of the house to
diminish the visual appearance of the doors. Garage doors shall be kept to minimum
sizes and shall not be over -styled with arches, windows and decorative panels.
Carports are discouraged.
• Roofs and Roofing: Sloping roofs such as gables and hips are required. Dormers
for windows, louvers and vents are encouraged on larger roofs, and parapets,
cornices and other detailing is desirable. Materials for sloping roofs should be
appropriate to the scale of the building and can be asphalt or composition shingles
that do not simulate other materials, wood shingles or shakes, and flat concrete tiles.
• Windows: Individual and groups of windows shall be in proportion with the house
facade and individual -glazing panes shall not be over -sized. Horizontal as well as
vertical mullions are encouraged to reinforce residential scale, true divided lights are
desired. Shading shall be achieved with approved awnings, canopies, overhangs and
other architectural elements; substantially tinted or colored glazing and interior
shading films are not allowed. Trim, dormers, shutters and appropriate detailing are
desirable. Fully arched windows are discouraged except when historically
compatible with the architectural style. Multiple -arched, over -sized round, sloping
head and other 'trendy' window styles are inappropriate.
• Materials: Buildings are encouraged to be constructed of high quality, substantial,
well -wearing materials: Brick, stucco, wood or composition sidings - horizontal or
vertical boards, boards or plywood with battens, shingles, or EIFS (exterior
insulation and finish systems) with proper detailing. Local stone is encouraged and
shall be used as walls, wainscots, chimneys, columns or plinths but not as decorative
panels. Materials that are imitations of other materials are discouraged; such as
concrete formed to appear as stone. Appropriate combinations of materials to
modify scale and add visual interest should be considered.
• Architectural Elements: Attention to detail is encouraged and shall be proportional
to the facade with the caution that non-traditional elements used for only decorative
purposes are discouraged. Fireplace chimneys and enclosures are desirable.
Porches, decks with railings, columns, cornices, detailed chimney tops, and
appropriately designed entries are encouraged. Fences shall be designed to enhance
visibility and shall not be tall, solid barriers that negate the feeling of neighborhood.
Fences shall not dominate corner lots or long side yards.
• Parking, Open Space and Trail Access: Parking for residents and guests shall be
conveniently located. Open spaces for landscaping, decks, terraces and visual relief
shall be considered. There shall be pedestrian and bicycle access to the path and
street system.
• Entry Wallcs and Drives: Driveway widths shall be kept to a minimum at the curb
line and widen as necessary within the property. Walks shall be appropriately
scaled. Pavers or patterned concrete is encouraged for walks and drives.
• Equipment Concealment: Mechanical and electrical equipment shall be located as
much as possible away from front yards and screened from view. Refuse and
recycling containers shall be stored out of public view inside garages or behind
fences - enclosures designed strictly for concealment purposes are discouraged.
• Color: Walls shall be of light to medium values - decorative painting is
discouraged. Moderate changes in value and color are acceptable. Brighter colors
shall be used in limited areas.
