GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES: Open Space, Green Belt Areas and Landscape Screening: The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 2S, 2006, shows a total of 2.29- acres (22.9% of the site) of common area inclusive of the wetlands within the subdivision. The concept plan date stamped by the City on October 17, 2006, shows the greenbelt pathway, central plaza, and two river view overlooks to be located within the common area located on the southern boundary of the development. The greenbelt pathway on the southern boundary runs adjacent to the river from the eastern boundary of the development to the cul-de-sac located at the terminus ofN. Cranefly Way at which point the pathway will cross the wetland area adjacent to the western boundary and terminate at the gravel driveway located adjacent to the site. The common area located on the western boundary of the development (Lot 21, Block 3) contains an artesian well and wetlands. The preliminary plat also shows an interior pathway connection from N. Anglers Cove Place to the greenbelt pathway. With the exception of the two pathways, the open space within this development consists mainly of wetlands and streams. Storm Drainage and Flood Control: Specific drainage system plans are to be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat. The plans are to show how swales, or drain piping, will be developed in the drainage easements. Also, the CC&R's are to contain clauses to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and City Page 3 of 38 K:\Planning Dcpt\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzf.doc Attorney, requiring that lots be so graded that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to the drainage easement, and that no runoff shall cross any lot line onto another lot except within a drainage easement.

They also indicated that headlights at night will shine directly into their living room. The Moore's requested a frontage road be constructed and the entrance to the subdivision be relocated (attached within the staffreport). ST AFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT: A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: · The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Western Area Plan adopted 09-14-04) designates this si te as: Mixed Use Suitable primarily for a variety of uses such as limited office, limited commercial. and residential developments. Uses should complement uses within the Central Business District (CBD). Development within this land use designation should be required to proceed through the PUD and/or Development Agreement process, see specific planning area text for a complete description. Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 The purpose of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of the City of Eagle and its Impact Area as follows: b. To ensure that adequate public facilities and services are provided to the people at reasonable cost. d. To ensure that the important environmental features of the City and its Impact Area are protected and enhanced. g. To ensure that the development of land is commensurate with the physical characteristics of the land. h. To protect life and property in areas subject to natural hazards and disasters. 1. To protect fish, wildlife, and recreation resources. Page 7 of 38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzfdoc 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 comes 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 plays 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 effect the commumty. Service providers currently include: . The Eagle Sewer District provides sewer service within a designated sewer service area. Larger lot homes have wells and septic systems and must comply with Central District Health Department requirements. . The Meridian and Boise School Districts provide K-12 education. . United Water, Eagle Water Company, and the City provide water to Eagle residents. Some private water systems and wells are also used. . The Eagle Fire District provides fire and emergency services. . Private canal companies and drainage districts provide irrigation water and drainage water management. 4.2.7 Other Services and Utilities Pressure Irrigation The City of Eagle currently requires the installation of pressurized irrigation systems for the irrigation of landscaping when new development is withm an irrigation district and water rights are available. Chapter 6 - Land Use 6.2 Land Use Issues Residents of Eagle and its Impact Area have a strong desire to maintain the rural "feel" of the community. In order to ensure the quality of life that is desired by Eagle residents, it is necessary to maintain a tax base that is adequate for providing expected public services. 6.5 Goal To preserve the rural transitional identity. Page 8 of 38 K:\Planning Dcpt\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzfdoc 6.6 Objectives a. To encourage the preservation of open spaces. 6.7 Implementation Strategies a. Preserve the natural features and resources of Eagle. k. Protect gravity flow irrigation systems including canals, laterals and ditches to assure continued delivery of irrigation water to all land serviced by such systems, to protect irrigation systems as a long range economical method for water delivery and to coordinate surface water drainage to be compatible with irrigation systems. p. Support City of Eagle flood and storm drainage regulations to achieve protection of property rights, environmental protection and flood damage reduction for community residents. Natural Resources And Hazard Areas Chapter 7 7.5 Water Resources Surface Water: The Boise River carries water for irrigation and provides fishing, water-fowl hunting (not permitted in city limits), and recreation. The Eagle planning area is crossed by eight irrigation systems: the Farmers Union Canal, New Dry Creek Canal, New Union Ditch, Breshears Lateral. Ballantyne Canal, the Mason Catline Canal, Capital View Canal and the Boise Valley Canal. 7.7 Wildlife An important part of the City and Impact Area is within the Boise River and Dry Creek floodplains. This area contains important natural resources including wildlife, fish, water and deer. 7.9 Goal Special concern and attention should be given to the preservation of fish, wildlife, water resources, air quality, agriculture, open space and recreation-nature areas when implementing planning and zoning decisions. Chapter 8 Transportation 8.3.0 City of Eagle Functional Pathway Classifications 8.3.1 Paths Function: To provide for recreation and alternative transportation; important to provide safe continuous thoroughfares with minimal cross flow of vehicular traffic. Location: Paths could be located on corridors separate 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. Page 9 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzrdoc 8.3.2 Bike Lanes Function: Primarily used as a lane for bicycles and other non-motorized uses. Location: Bike Lanes usually exist on the same pavement surface as motorized lanes. Arterials and collectors should be provided with bike lanes on each side of the roadway. 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 forms such as walking and biking. 8.6 Implementation Strategies 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. I. If the Highway District or ITD do not require traffic impact studies for new development, the City of Eagle may require a traffic impact study to include, but not limited to, potential impacts to existing traffic patterns, suggested roadway widths, access to existing and proposed roadways, signalization, location and need for intersections, turn lanes, and bus stops. In addition, the traffic impact study should address parking and pedestrian traffic. I. 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. 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. q. Design and/or align roads to preserve existing trees wherever posstble; safety shall not be compromised. Page 10 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzfdoc r. Encourage planning of local roadway systems which will provide for intra- neighborhood connectivity. The connecting roadways should be designed to not become collectors and to diseourage 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. Chapter 9 Parks, Recreation And Open Spaces 9.5 Pathways And Greenbelts Pathways are nonmotorized multi-use paths that are separate features from bicycle and pedestrian lanes constructed as a part of a roadway. Greenbelts are typically land areas that border scenic features or hazard areas (i.e. the Boise River and Dry Creek) and are designed to prevent undesirable encroachment. Greenbelts may include pathways and/or bike lanes. 9.5.1 Goal To create a pathway system that provides interconnectivity of schools, neighborhoods, public buildings, businesses, and parks and special sites. 9.5.2 Objectives g. To create a pathway system that reflects desire to have a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community. e. All development should provide developed pathways for connection to Eagle's public pathway system and/or adjoining development's pubhc pathway system. h. Acquire pathway easements on the north side of the North Channel. 9.5.3 Implementation Strategies f. Prioritize greenbelt and pathway development: I) greenbelt/pathway system along the Boise River; 2) greenbelt/pathway system along the Dry Creek; 3) corridor preservation along future planned pathways and irrigation features; and 4) road crossings. 9.6.2 Objectives a. To establish open space to protect the finite resource base of Eagle's natural environment - air, ground water, surface water, soil, forested areas, plant and wildlife habitats, agricultural lands, and aquifer recharge, watersheds, and wetlands. b. To provide an open space setting for active and passive recreation for all age groups throughout the community. c. To protect against hazards that are inherent to flood plains, flood ways, steep slopes, and areas of geological instability. Page 11 of 38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Ilamlet pzfdoc Chapter II 11.1 d. To protect the natural lay of the land (e.g., minimize land disturbance). e. To protect such unique environmental areas as historical, geological, and archaeological sites and monuments, natural areas, and wildlife habitat. f. To protect important views, vistas, and panoramas of the community's natural setting and environment. Special Areas and Sites Background and Vision "Special Areas and Sites" are defined as areas, sites or structures of historical, archaeological, architectural, ecological, or scenic significance. Special areas or sites should be analyzed according to their defined function. Whenever pOSSible, these sites should be preserved and conserved as open spaces or for educational and cultural centers. Development of Special Areas or Sites should take place in manner that reflects harmony with their natural environment and recognized qualities which render them distinctly unique. The Boise River Floodplain, the Head of Eagle Island, the Dry Creek Floodplain, and the North Foothills possess a recognized function as a wildlife habitat, flood way and scenic natural resource reflective of Eagle's rural character. These special areas will require comprehensive and specific planning to ensure that such topographical, hydrological, ecological. architectural and scenic concerns have been thoroughly addressed and incorporated into any engineering and development plans. The special review process should include, but not be limited to the following: Area wide drainage including hillsides, foothills and gulches . Water quality . Sanitation . Area-wide traffic plans . Pathways, trail access . Wetlands issues . Fish and wildlife habitat . Existing trees and natural features . River and creek greenbelt areas . Potential for permanent open space and natural preserves including steep hillside terrain, rock outcroppings and foothill gulches. 11.2 Recognized Special Areas and Sites Boise River Floodplain The Boise River Floodplain is designated as a special area due to its ecological and scenic significance. The area comprises the two channels of the Boise River and intervening and immediately adjacent areas as generally depicted on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Page 12 of 38 K\Planning Dept\Eaglc Applications\SUBS\2006\Anglcr's Hamlet pzrdoc Drainages and Canals Special natural and manmade features of Eagle are the drainages and canals. The main purpose of the canals and drainage ditches is that of distributing and moving water. 11.3 Goal To promote the conservation and efficient management of all Special Area and Sites. 11.4 Implementation and Strategies a. Protect and improve natural and man-made waterways. Chapter 12 12.1 Community Design Background and Vision Community design is the organized fashion in which a community is developed in order that a general mood or theme is established and maintained. Elements of the Eagle community design include: (a) a rural transitional community with a shopping district functioning as the hub of the community; (b) the Boise River and its floodplain with wildlife, trees, and recreation opportunities; (c) the rolling hills north of the river; and, (d) a network of canals which crisscross the community. 12.4 Implementation Strategies c. The floodway shall be reserved as a natural state such as a greenbelt, wildlife habitat, and open space recreational area and for agncultural uses. g. New residential, commercial, and industrial development shall be required to meet minimum design standards as specified by City Ordinances. 1. Buffer and transition zones should be developed between conflicting types of land use. 1. Encourage the development of pathways and open-space corridors throughout the City. q. Maintain the rural residential character and open space environment in and around the City. 12.5 Eagle Tree Plan 12.5.1 Goal To establish and enhance areas of tree growth that will create beauty, add to a healthy environment and increase economic stability. 12.5.2 Objectives a. To create an urban forest that will help reduce air and noise pollution, conserve water and reduce soil erosion, assist in modifying the local climate, increase property values, and improve Eagle's economy by providing a pleasant and more comfortable place to shop and live. Page 13 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzf.doc B. SOARING 2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: Chapter 4 Chapter 6 Public Facilities and Services 4.7 Irrigation Water The City of Eagle sets in an irrigated river valley partitioned by several major irrigation systems operated by irrigation districts or companies. These entities and the water resource they manage are an integral element in the development of greenscape that typifies the Boise River Valley. This resource and distribution network also provides significant recharge to the shallow ground water zone upon which many wells and water amenities depend. 4.7.1 Goals Protect the existing irrigation system and increase use or reuse of the surface water resource for park, residential and commercial landscape irrigation and water amenities. Maintain irrigation standards that promote the conservation and reuse of surface water. 4.7.2 Objective Ensure that new development incorporates existing irrigation water for landscape irrigation and water amenities when water rights are available on-site or by means of appropriation or transfer. Maintain surface water rights within general areas of use to ensure adequate supply for the enjoyment of amenities such as city parks and greenbelts. 4.8 Storm Drainage/Flood Control Storm Drainage With the continued construction of impermeable surfaces such as rooftops, asphalt streets, and concrete drives, storm water run-off has become a matter requiring increased control and management. Receiving streams abundant With fish and other aquatic life must be protected from the pollutants that may become concentrated in storm water. The City of Eagle has made significant progress in setting standards for storm water discharge by developing standards for surface and subsurface discharge that are protective ofreceiving waters and assure long term reliance of subsurface treatment facilities. Land Use 6.4C Park Lane Planning Area The Park Lane Planning Area is designated as mixed use combining community commercial, professional office, and a variety ofresidential densities. The vision for the area is to recognize the activity center created by Eagle High School and existing development approved by Ada County and to provide compatible land uses at densities that accommodate pedestrian scale design and future mass transit. Page 1401'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Appllcations\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzfdoc 6.4C.l Uses The land use and development policies specific to the Park Lane Plannlng Area include the following: The area located along Old Valley Road should be a mixture of residential and Professional Office with Limited Service Commercial. All uses along Old Valley should be designed to be oriented to take access from Old Valley Road and to encourage pedestrian movement through the area. 6.4C.2 Design Old Valley Road Area: The design of this area should capitalize on the existing Old Valley Road and bring activities and uses closer to the road, creating a pedestrian friendly area that encourages walking as well as servicing auto traffic. The Old Valley Road area should include street trees, benches and sidewalks. Common parking areas should be encouraged at the sides of buildings and joint parking agreements so walking distances between buildings IS minimized and provide a pedestrian scale to the area. On street parking should be encouraged where sufficient right-of-way is available. Signage for non-residential uses should be incorporated as a master sign plan rather than individual signs located along State Highway 44. C.

DISCUSSION: · The 2000 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Camille Beckman facility is located east of the proposed development and is currently zoned MU-DA. The area to the south contains the North Channel of the Boise River and land which is owned by the State of Idaho. There are four Jots within Benmor Subdivision north of the site currently zoned Rl (Residential-Ada County designation). Since the area bordering the proposed development on the north and west are designated Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map, the area to the east is currently zoned MU-DA, and the area south will be buffered by the river from the proposed development staff Page 21 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Anglcr's Hamlet pzf.doc believes that a MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) zoning classification for this site is appropriate. . As shown on the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, the applicant is proposing a single-family residential development with a density of 3.7 dwelling units/acre. The applicant will be required to provide an offsetting increase of open space in addition to the required ten percent (10%) of open space for all lots not meeting the minimum lot size of7,OOO square feet required in the Mixed Use (MU) zone. The required amount of open space for this development is shown on the preliminary plat, however it should be noted that Lot 21, Block 3, adjacent to the western boundary of the development is a wetland area. Wetland areas are not to be counted towards the open space requirement per Eagle City Code. Although Eagle City Code also states that existing natural features which add value to residential development and enhance the attractiveness of the community (such as trees, watercourses, historic spots and similar irreplaceable assets) shall be preserved in the design of the development the applicant should be required to provide additional open space to allow the residents of the development to have an area for recreational and social opportunities. . The Camille Beckman facility is located to the east of the proposed development. Since the applicant is proposing to construct a residential development adjacent to a commercial use a buffer area should be provided to meet the requirements of Eagle City Code 8-2A-7 (J)(2)(a) for buffering between areas that are not fully compatible. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing a buffer area located within a common lot as required per Eagle City Code 8-2A-7(J)(2)(a) prior to submitting a Design Review application for review and approval by the Design Review Board. . Correspondence received from Marion and Marion Moore, date stamped by the City on September 12,2006, states on item numbers 3 and 4 their concern with the location of the access directly across from their residence and the glare from the vehicle headlights as well as the traffic noise. Mr. Roylance submitted an agreement date stamped by the City on October 19, 2006, between the Moore's and himself agreeing to provide landscaping on the Moore's property to buffer traffic noise and shield the glair of automobile headlights exiting the subdivision. The agreement states the landscaping will be completed to the satisfaction of the Moore's prior to applying for a building permit application. . The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, shows a portion of the lots to be adjacent to Old Valley Road to the north, Frost Lane (pvt.) to the east and a gravel road west of the development. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat with a note prohibiting lots within the subdivision from gaining direct access from West Old Valley Road, Frost Lane, and the existing gravel road on the western boundary of the site prior to submitting an application for final plat approval. . The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, shows a typical road section for West Old Valley Road delineating the right-of-way line and the property line approximately eighteen feet (18') apart in width. The preliminary plat identifies this area to be a landscape easement. Normally the right-of-way line and the property line are matching. In discussion with the project engineer Rick Collingwood with Toothman-Orton Engineering Co., he indicated the right-of-way is at the property line. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing the typical street section for West Old Valley Road with the right-of-way line at the property line prior to submitting an application for final plat approval. Page 22 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Appl1catlons\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzfdoc . The applicant should provide a copy of the license agreement with Ada County Highway District (ACHD) for landscaping and sidewalks to be located in the right-of-way and a eopy of the easement given to the ACHD for the sidewalks to be located outside of the right-of-way prior to final plat approval. . As described in the General Site Design Features sections above within the Open Space, Green Belt Areas and Landscape Screening area a !,'Teenbelt pathway is proposed to be located adjacent to the southern boundary of the site where it connects to the cul-de-sac located at the terminus ofN. Cranefly Way and then crosses the wetland area adjacent to the western boundary and terminates at the gravel driveway located adjacent to the site. The point where the pathway will terminate at the western boundary is proposed to be located approximately 220' from the North Channel of the Boise instead of paralleling the river similar to the greenbelt pathway located in other areas of the City. The applicant should submit a revised preliminary plat showing the pathway to be located in closer proximity to the North Channel of the Boise River at the southwestern corner of the development, the pathway should be reviewed and approved by the Parks and Pathway Development Committee for recommendation prior to submitting a Desi!,'11 Review application for final plat approval. . The applicant has indicated in meetings with staff that due to the people they are marketing to this subdivision is not going to function like a standard single-family dwelling subdivision. The applicant has indicated a majority of the yards and landscaping is going to be maintained by the homeowers' association. The applicant should provide a site plan showing all areas that are to be maintained by the homeowners' association and no certificate of occupancy for a dwelling should be issued prior to the installation of the landscaping on the lot where the dwellings are located. . The two existing residences shown on Lot 20, Block 3 of the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, are currently served by individual well and septic systems. Per Eagle City Code 8-2-1, centralized water and sewer must be provided to the subdivision. The applicant should provide documentation indicating central services are to be provided to the dwellings on Lot 20, Block 3. The applicant should also provide documentation showing that proper approvals have been provided for abandonment of the existing wells and septic systems serving the dwellings shown on Lot 20, Block 3, prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat. . The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, shows a structure located on the parcel south of Lot 20, Block 3, encroaching into the property. In correspondence received from Dave Roylance addressed to Ms. Patricia Kenyon, date stamped by the City on October 6,2006, addresses the Ms. Kenyon's carport encroaching on Mr. Roylance's parcel. Mr. Roylance indicates within the correspondence that he is willing to deed a portion of property at the appropriate time to resolve the encroachment of the structure. The applicant should provide a resolution to the property line issue regarding the location of the structure prior to the approval of a final plat. . The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25,2006, shows the pressurized irrigation line to be located within the public utility easement along the public right-of- way. The application should provide documentation from service providers locating services within the same easement as the pressurized irrigation that the pressurized irrigation will not pose a hazard to the adjacent services prior to submitting a final plat application. Page 23 01'38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's lIamlet pzrdoc . The applicant should provide documentation from all service providers locating services within the easement adjacent to the pressurized irrigation line that the pressurized irrigation line will be compatible with those services prior to submitting a final plat application. . The Pressurized Irrigation Analysis date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, indicates that the developer is seeking additional allocation of water shares to irrigate the 0.83 acres not covered under the lands current water rights. The applicant should provide documentation that additional water rights for pressurized irrigation have been provided prior to submitting a final plat application. . The applicant submitted an Environmental Site Assessment: Transaction Screen Report for the property conducted by Sage Environmental Service, LLC. The report dated May 2, 2005, was conducted to review the property for environmental concerns prIor to Mr. Robert Nahas purchasing the property. During the investigation by Sage Environmental Service, LLC, no "recognized environmental conditions" were identified. It should be noted that this environmental site assessment was conducted to make the purchaser aware of any environmental concerns before subsequent purchase of the property. Per Eagle City Code an environmental assessment plan is to be conducted to address the impacts ofa development on the immediate area. The applicant should submit an environmental assessment plan addressing Eagle City Code, Section 9-5-8(B) for review prior to the City Council approving the preliminary plat. . The applicant is proposing "Tuscany" style architecture to be utilized within this development. The applicant should provide exhibits of the "Tuscany" style architecture to be incorporated into the development agreement. The applicant should create an architectural control committee (ACC) as a component of the subdivision CC&Rs to review the architecture style of the homes to be constructed in this development to ensure the homes are to be constructed in substantial conformance with the "Tuscany" style architecture prior to submitting an application for a building permit. Provisions regarding the creation and operating procedures of the ACC should be included in the CC&R' s. The CC&R's shall be reviewed and approved by the City attorney prior to the approval of the final plat. . A rear lot line easement is not delineated or noted on the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006. Per Eagle City Code, Section 9-3-1(A), unobstructed utility easements a minimum of twelve feet (12') in width are required adj acent to rear lot lines. Since the applicant is requesting reduced setbacks through a development ab'Teement the applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat delineating and noting a ten foot (10') wide rear lot line easement prior to submitting an application for final plat. . The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on August 25, 2006, shows the building envelopes utilizing reduced setbacks from the standard setbacks allowed within a Mixed Use (MU) zone. The applicant is requesting the following reduced setbacks with no additional side setback for multi-story structures: Proposed Standard Front Rear Side Street Side 20 feet o feet 5 feet 5 feet (West Old Valley Road) 20 feet 20 feet 7.5 feet (5 feet/story for multi-story) 20 feet Page 24 of 38 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2006\Anglcr's Hamlet pzLdoc Maximum coverage 60% 50% The above noted setbacks are less than the setbacks required by ECC for 7,000 square foot lots in an R-5 zone. It is staffs opinion that a fifteen foot setback should be provided along the rear property line to provide for an easement for utilities and drainage. The street side setback should be maintained at the required twenty feet (20') in width. The two existing dwellings located on Lot 20, Block 3, do not meet the setback requirements for a Mixed Use (MU) zone. The primary dwelling is located approximately 3.5 feet from the eastern property boundary. The secondary dwelling is located approximately 15 feet from the southern property boundary. Reduced setbacks for the existing dwelI1ngs should be allowed so as to not create a non-conforming use upon rezone of the property. Should the dwellings be removed or need to be replaced the setbacks for the newly constructed dwelling should meet those which are recommended for the newly created lots. Staff recommends the following setbacks: Front Rear Side Additional Setback for Multi-Story structures Side (street) Side adjacent to pathway Existing dwellings Front Rear Side Side (Street) Side adjacent to pathway 20 feet 15 feet 5 feet 2.5 feet 20 feet 15 feet from edge of pathway 20 feet 15 feet 3.5 feet* 20 feet 15 feet from edge of pathway *Should the existing dwellings be removed and replaced the side setback shall be 5 feet with an additional 2.5 feet for multi-story structures. Maximum lot coverage 60% · ECC Section 9-5-4-3 (C) requires that storage areas be provided for the anticipated needs of boats, campers, and trailers. The applicant has not specified how the storage of boats, campers, and trailers will be accommodated, whether in a centrally located, screened enclosure, or upon each individual lot. Past City Council action as allowed for storage to be addressed through the CC&R's requiring storage of boats, campers and trailers to be off-site. If the Council determines that individual lot storage is more appropriate than a common storage facility, the applicant should provide a copy of the CC&Rs for review which define the proper storage of the boats, campers and trailers whether it is on individual lots, centrally located, or off-site. If a common storage area IS required, then the applicant should be required to obtain design review approval and should construct the storage area prior to City Clerk signing the final plat. · ECC Section 9-5-4-3 (E) requires that a maintenance building be provided of such size and in such location as is suitable for the service needs that are necessary for the repair and maintenance of all common areas. However, the applicant has not provided Page 25 of 38 K:\Planning Dept\Eaglc Applications\SUBS\2006\Angler's Hamlet pzrdoc information as to whether a maintenance building will be constructed on site or whether an outside contractor will be hired by the homeowner's association to maintain and service the common areas. Past City Council has determined that an outside maintenance contractor may be more appropriate than an on-site maintenance building, provided the applicant includes in the CC&Rs provisions which define the guidelines for the contracting of an outside maintenance firm. If a maintenance building is required, then the applicant should be required to obtain design review approval and should construct the maintenance building or provide a copy of the CC&R's for review which define the guidelines for the contracting of an outside maintenance firm, prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
