Alternative Methods Of Compliance:
Page 6 of 12
K:\Planning DeptlEagle Applications\Dr\2007\DR-49-07 Catalpa Sub land drfdoc
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 bufferyard is larger than
can be provided; and
d. Safety considerations are involved.
C. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS
PROPOSAL:
. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-1 (G)(2)
In zoning districts which prohibit densities greater than one dwelling unit per two (2)
acres, cul-de-sac streets up to a maximum of one thousand five hundred feet (1,500') in
length may be permitted by the city if approved by the fire department and the highway
district having jurisdiction. No more than twenty (20) dwelling units shall be permitted
on said cul-de-sac.
. Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-6(F)( 6)
In zoning districts which prohibit densities greater than one dwelling unit per two (2)
acres and at the council's discretion, a four foot (4') wide striped path (with pedestrian
designation markings such as diamonds or pedestrian/bicyc1e symbols) on both edges
of the all internal roadways may be permitted in lieu of constructing sidewalks. Trees
shall be placed within five feet (5') of the edge of roadway.
D. PRELIMINARY PLAT PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING
THIS PROPOSAL:
. The applicant shall provide a revised preliminary plat showing a minimum twenty five foot (25')
wide landscaped buffer between North Meridian Road and Lot 2, Block 1, and complete an
Alternate Method of Compliance application for the drain field section for review and approval by
the Design Review Board prior to submittal of a final plat application.
. The developer shall provide 3-inch minimum caliper shade-class trees (landscape plan to be
reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board) along both sides of the street. Trees shall be
placed at fifty foot (50') to seventy five foot (75') intervals at the front of each lot generally at each
side property line and the drive aisles, or as approved by the Design Review Board. The trees shall
be located between eight feet (S') and a maximum of twenty feet (20') from the edge of the
roadway as recommended by the City Forester in collaboration with the applicant. Prior to the City
Clerk signing the final plat the applicant shall either install the required trees, sod, and irrigation or
provide the City with a letter of credit for 150% of the cost of the installation of all landscape and
irrigation improvements. Trees shall be installed prior to obtaining any occupancy permits for the
dwelling units. A temporary occupancy may be issued if weather does not permit landscaping.
. The applicant shall submit a design review application showing: 1) proposed subdivision signage,
Page 7 of 12
K:\Planning DeptlEagle Applications\Dr\2007\DR.49-07 Catalpa Sub land drf.doc
2) planting details within the proposed common areas throughout the subdivision 3) building
elevations for the irrigation pump house, 4) landscape screening details of the irrigation pump
house. The design review application shall be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board
prior to the submittal of a final plat application.
E. DISCUSSION:
. The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the common area and roadside
landscaping within Catalpa Subdivision. The 17.90-acre subdivision consists of twelve lots (nine
residential, three common) within an R-E (Residential Estates) zoning designation.
. At the discretion of the City Council, the R-E (Residential Estates) zoning designation allows for
striped pedestrian walkways instead of separated sidewalks. During the preliminary plat process
the City Council approved this substitution with the stipulation that street trees will be placed at
regular intervals along the internal road (see the above preliminary plat provisions which are of
special concern regarding this proposal). Drainage swales will be located along each side of the
internal road which will restrict the distance from the road that the trees will be planted. In a
meeting with the City Forester it was determined that a fifteen foot (15') setback for the street trees
from the edge of the swales would be sufficient enough to prevent root system interference with
the swales.
. North Meridian Road is classified as a local road by the 2025 Functional Street Classification
System. This street classification does not require that subdivisions provide roadside buffering.
However, the applicant has voluntarily provided a twenty five foot (25') buffer area to be located
along Lot 1, Block 1. Within this common area the applicant will provide sod and alternating
deciduous and evergreen trees, as well as a five foot (5') wide detached sidewalk.
. The area within Lot 2, Block 1, adjacent to North Meridian Road contains a septic drain field
which limits the amount and type of landscaping within the area. Though this is not considered
common area for the subdivision the applicant has indicated that minimal landscaping including
sod and shrubbery will be installed. Per conditions within the preliminary plat the applicant shall
provide an alternate method of compliance form to the City for this area.
. Staff defers comment regarding the City Forester's recommendation to the Design Review Board.
. Staff defers comment regarding pump house building design and colors to the Design Review
Board.
