STAFF ANALYSIS:
A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Residential Two, suitable
primarily for single-family residential development within areas that are rural in character.
Residential density of up to two dwelling unit per acre may be considered by the City for this
area.
Chapter 4 Schools, Public Services and Utilities
4.1 Background
Public utilities, facilities, and services are necessary for the overall welfare of the
public and are generally available to Eagle residents. The City and special
districts provide the basic services of water, sewer, school, police, fire and library
to residents. With Eagle's growing population come the need for increased public
services and the necessity to improve existing service delivery systems.
Policies concerning the manner in which public utilities and services are expanded
play an important role in the location and intensity of future housing, commercial
and industrial development. Since the City of Eagle depends on outside
providers, it must be involved in any plans that will affect the community.
4.3 Goal
c. Maintain a sense of personal safety and security for all residents.
d. Strive to prevent and extinguish fires and aid in other emergencies dealing
with the protection of life or property.
4.4 Objectives
d. To encourage a high standard of fire protection and emergency services
Chapter 8 Transportation
8.3.0 City of Eagle Functional Pathway Classifications
An effective pathway system should include a combination of Paths and Lanes.
The City of Eagle Transportation/Pathway Network Maps #1 and #2 illustrates the
various classifications and locations which are included in the pathway system
and described as follows:
Page 6 of 19
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle Applications\SUBSl2006IPark Lane Estltes Sub pzf.doc
8.3.1 Paths
Location:
Paths could be located on corridors separated from roadways such as utility
easements, irrigation canals, or adjacent to rivers or creeks. Paths could also be
located along roadway right-of-ways and would usually be separated from vehicle
travel lanes and the paved section of the roadway by a median or sidewalk.
8.6 Implementation Strategies
r. Encourage planning of local roadway systems which will provide for intra-
neighborhood connectivity. The connection roadways should be designed to
not become collectors and to discourage traffic from cutting through
neighborhoods to go from a collector or arterial to another collector or arterial.
Such intra-neighborhood connectivity is for emergency and delivery vehicles
and for local intra-neighborhood access.
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). Such designs should include the following:
1. Vertical Curbs should not be permitted, except where may be required by
ACHD. Where curbs are needed, flat or rolled curbs should be
encouraged.
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 are to be located
outside of the right-of-way.
3. Unless otherwise determined by ACHD to be necessary for public safety,
roadways should be a maximum of two lanes with a center turn lane only
at driveways and/or street intersections that are expected to generate a
minimum of 1000 vehicle trips per day, or where determined to be
necessary for safety by ACHD. Any portion of a center turn lane which is
not used for such a driveway or intersection should be landscaped. Such
landscaped medians would need to be maintained by the City and would
require a license agreement with the highway district having jurisdiction.
4. The roadways should be constructed to provide a bike lane on both sides
of the roadway.
5. A minimum building setback ordinance resulting in a setback of
approximately 125-feet from the roadway centerline should be considered
to be adopted by the City.

D. DISCUSSION:
. The Eagle Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Residential Two"
with a density not to exceed 2 units per acre. The Soaring 2025 (Western Area Plan)
Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being located within the Park Lane Planning Area,
which is a sub area of the Western Planning area. The overall density of the proposed Park
Lane Estates Subdivision development is 1.29 units per acre.
. The applicant proposes one access point from Park Lane for Lot 2, Block 1. Park Lane is
designated as an Urban Collector on the Ada County Functional Street Classification Map.
The applicant has proposed a 23-foot wide common lot and a 12-foot wide easement adjacent
to Park Lane for the construction of a buffer area. Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7 (J)(4)(a)
requires the installation of a buffer that is a minimum of 35-foot wide abutting the road right-
of-way.
. Park Lane is shown as a Urban Collector on the Ada County Long Range Highway and Street
Map - 2025 Functional Street Classification System.
. The 2000 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 4 discusses school and public service issues. The
Eagle Sewer District has indicated that this property has not been annexed into the District.
The portion of this site that is not currently annexed into the Eagle Sewer District's boundaries
will be required to be annexed into their boundaries prior to the City accepting a final plat
application for the site. A letter of approval shall be provided to the City from the Eagle Sewer
District approving the final construction plans prior to issuance of building permits for the
subdivision.
. The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on April 5, 2006, shows a 5-foot wide attached
sidewalk to be constructed along the interior roadways of this development. Per Eagle City
Code, 5-foot wide (minimum) sidewalks are required to be constructed on both sides of the
street. The applicant should be required to provide a revised plan showing 5-foot wide
(minimum) sidewalks are to be constructed within the interior roadways of this development.
The revised preliminary plat should be provided prior to the submittal of a design review
application.
. Lot lines have been aligned to minimize the number of abutting neighbors to the existing R-E
(1.8 acre lots) to the south of this project in Loch Lomond Subdivision.
. Plat note #5 does not address the required 6-foot (6') side utility easement a revised
preliminary plat should be provided prior to the submittal of a design review application.
. Lot 2, Block 1 has a structure located along the north property line within the required 10 foot
interior side setback of the R-2 zone. The structure should be removed prior to the clerk
Page 9 of 19
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationslSUBSI2006IPark Lane Estates Sub pzrdoc
signing the final plat. A demolition permit from the City of Eagle Building Department
should be received prior to removal of the structure.
. The applicant is requesting, through a development agreement, that the existing house be able
to retain the existing septic and well and not connect to a centralized water and sewer system.
Under Eagle City Code 8-2-1 centralized water and sewer must be provided to this lot and the
existing well and septic systems abandoned for domestic use prior to the city clerk signing of
the final plat. There is no allowance for a waiver of this code provision.
