• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(0): Alternative Methods of Compliance:
1. Project Conditions: It is not the intent of these landscape requirements to inhibit creative
solutions to land use problems. Under certain site conditions, a strict interpretation of
requirements may be either physically impossible or impractical. Alternative compliance is a
procedure that allows certain modifications to existing regulations within this section.Requests
for use of alternative landscaping schemes are justified only when one or more of the following
conditions apply:
a. The sites involve space limitations or unusually shaped parcels;
b. Topography, soil, vegetation, or other site conditions are such that full compliance is
impossible or impractical;
c. Due to a change of use of an existing site,the required buffer yard is larger than can be
provided; and
d. Safety considerations are involved.
2. Request For Alternative Method Of Compliance: The applicant must provide the city with a
written request if an alternative method of compliance is proposed. The request shall state
which requirement as set forth within this section is to be modified, what project conditions
stated within subsection 01 of this section justify using the proposed alternative, and how the
proposed alternative equals or exceeds said requirement.
D. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a three-story, multi-tenant office
(business and professional, medical and dental), clinic, and personal services building. The
applicant's justification letter states that the building design is a modern view on the "Prairie
School" style as outlined in the City of Eagle's Architecture and Site Design Book. The façade is
rectangular with one floor providing an asymmetrical shift creating a dynamic building feature.
There is an emphasis on horizontal planes which is accentuated by the ribbon windows along most
of the building. The exterior façade is a combination of glass, metal, wood, and stone. The
applicant's justification letter also states that the metal is a gray brown shade that has a neutral
palate allowing for the glass and wood materials to be the main design features. The wood soffit
provides another plane that cuts through the center of the building. Staff defers comment regarding
the building design and colors to the Design Review Board.
