GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES: Open Space, Green Belt Areas and Landscape Screening: According to the preliminary plat date stamped by the City March 23, 2007, the applicant is proposing a thirty five foot (35') landscaped buffer area on the west edge of the property adjacent to North Park Lane. There is also a 13,374-square foot landscaped common area proposed to be located at the east portion of the property. At the north east section of the property a 421-square foot landscaped common area is proposed. 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 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. Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities: Eagle City Code section 9-3-6 that unobstructed utility easements shall be provided along front lot lines, rear lot lines, and side lot lines when deemed necessary. Total easement width shall not be less than twelve-feet (12 '). Fire Hydrants and Water Mains: The preliminary plat shows one (1) fire hydrant located approximately 389-feet east of the main entrance off of North Park Lane and on the north side of the proposed Adonai Drive. The hydrants should be installed and approved as required by the Eagle Fire District. On-site Septic System (yes or no) - No Pressurized Irrigation: The property has water rights with the Farmers Union Ditch Company. The water right will be retained and a pressurized irrigation system will be provided to serve the residential and common areas within the proposed development. The City of Eagle currently requires the installation of pressurized irrigation systems for the irrigation of landscaping when new development is within an irrigation district and water rights are available. The narrative provided with the Lockey Subdivision preliminary plat application indicates the property has existing water rights from the Farmer's Union Page 3 of21 K:\Planning Dept\EagJe AppJications\SUBS\2007\Dwayne LingeJ ccf.doc Ditch Company. The applicant is proposing to work with the adjacent developers of Tabasco Trail Estates and Lingel (Adonai) Subdivisions to establish a joint water association for providing the required pressurized irrigation to the developments. Preservation of Existing Natural Features: Per Eagle City Code Section 9-3-8(B) 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 subdivision. No such features are known to exist on the property. Preservation of Existing Historical Assets: Staff is not aware of any existing historical assets on the site. If during excavation or development of the site, any historical artifacts are discovered, state law requires immediate notification to the state. K. STREET DESIGN: Public Streets: According to the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on March 23, 2007, there will be an eighty foot (80') wide entrance to the proposed Adonai Drive off of North Park Lane.

A root barrier shall be placed on both sides of the pathway to prohibit tree roots from damaging the pathway surface. The root barrier shall consist of black injection molded panels with a minimum of 0.085 inch wall thickness in modules a minimum of twenty four inches (24") long by twenty four inches (24") deep. Each panel shall have no less than four (4) vertical deflecting ribs ofa minimum 0.085 inch thickness protruding one-half inch (1/2") at ninety degrees (900) from the interior of the panel, spaced six inches (6") apart. A minimum of nine (9) anti lift tabs, three (3) each between the vertical ribs, shall be integrated into each panel, measuring a minimum of 0.085 inch thickness and protruding three-eighths inch (3/8") from the panel wall. An integrated joining system shall be employed for instant assembly by sliding one panel into the other. An alternative type barrier system of equal root penetrative resistance may be considered on a case by case basis, subject to the approval of the zoning administrator. 6. In order to design for crime prevention the following design standards will be followed: a. The use of "see through" fencing is preferred, as it provides better visibility from adjacent homes or buildings. If solid fencing is used it may not exceed four feet (4') in height. b. Adequate lighting may be provided as determined by Eagle city council and may be owned and maintained by the city of Eagle once the path is turned over to the city for maintenance. c. The use of corners and curves in the design of the paths is discouraged. . Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-6 (F) (2,3 & 6) Sidewalk Design: Page 8 of21 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2007\Dwayne Lingel ccf.doc 2. Sidewalks and crosswalks shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with the standards and specifications of the Ada County Highway District. 3. Sidewalks shall be separated from the edge of the abutting roadway and / or back of curb by a minimum five-foot (5') wide landscape strip. The landscape strip shall be completed with sod, automatic irrigation, and planted with 3-inch minimum caliper shade-class trees along all streets within the subdivision. Installation of landscaping shall be in accordance with Section 8-2A-7 of this Code. E. DISCUSSION: . The Eagle Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates the property as "Residential Two" with a density not to exceed two (2) units per acre. The proposed Adonai Subdivision includes eight (8) residential lots and four (4) common area lots with an overall density of 1.7 units per gross acre. . The applicant is requesting an R-2-DA (Residential, two units per acre maximum with a development agreement) zoning designation with lots sizes ranging from 20,204-square feet to 27, 287-square feet. The proposed lot sizes comply with the 17,000 square-foot minimum requirements for the R-2 zone. The subdivision design complies with the technical requirements (or will pursuant to the conditions outlined herein) of Eagle City Code. . Per Eagle City Code, subdivisions with an R-2 zoning designation are required to have a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the gross area provided as open space. The proposed development includes .57 acres (10.1 %) of the site as common area open space including the 8,798-square foot buffer area that extends adjacent to North Park Lane and the 13,785-square foot section along the east portion of the property. The applicant has indicated that the 13,785- square foot open space section located on the east portion of the property will connect to a proposed 2.02-acre master planned park with shared access between the proposed Adonai, June Lockey and Tabasco Trail Estates subdivisions, establishing more active open space for the Adonai Subdivision residents. Applications for June Lockey and Tabasco Trail subdivisions have been submitted to the City, however no binding document has been submitted to the City to date that would ensure this master park will be established. . The City has received applications for June Lockey and Tobasco Trail Subdivisions proposed to be located to the east of Adonai Subdivision. The applicants of all three subdivisions have indicated that residents of the three subdivisions will share access to all proposed open space within the three (3) subdivisions. Since the above subdivisions are proposed to be located adjacent to each other and are proposing to share access and open space then Adonai Subdivision, June Lockey Subdivision and Tobasco Trail Subdivision should establish a common homeowner's association. A statement should be placed in the CC&Rs and a note should be placed on the final plat indicating that all shared open space will be maintained by a common homeowner's association, to be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat for any of the three subdivisions. . According to the pressurized irrigation analysis date stamped by the City on January 10, 2007, the property has retained the surface water right on file with the Idaho Department of Water Resources through the Farmers Union Ditch Company. The property has an existing pressurized irrigation system and is entitled to 4.71 shares of water, and no downstream obligations are known to exist. The applicant should place a note on the final plat that the irrigation system will be maintained by the homeowner's association. A statement should also be placed in the CC&Rs that one homeowner's association shall maintain, in perpetuity, the Page 9 of21 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2007\Dwayne Lingel ccf.doc irrigation system. The CC&Rs shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat. . According to the pressurized irrigation analysis date stamped by the City on January 10, 2007, the full capacity of the irrigation system to service the property is dependent on the assumption that all residential and common area lots will be irrigated in an odd/even day pattern. The applicant should provide a statement in the CC&Rs that the homeowner's association will be responsible for creating and maintaining a use schedule for the irrigation system. The CC&Rs shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat. . A Pressurized Irrigation Analysis provided with the June Lockey preliminary plat application date stamped by the City on March 15, 2007, states that the pressurized irrigation system will be a combined system between June Lockey Subdivision, Tabasco Trail Estates, and Adonai Subdivision, to create a common pressurized system. The narrative explains that a Joint Water Association will be formed for the three developments and will be owned by the homeowner's association. It further states the Joint Water Association will hire an operator for maintenance and operation of the system. Staff has not received any documentation formalizing a "Joint Water Association" that will serve as the controlling body for the irrigation system. To ensure that the pressurized irrigation system will be owned and operated by the property owners of the three developments, the applicant should provide language in the CC&R's and an operation and maintenance manual that also provides a funding mechanism for the replacement of pumps. The applicant should also provide a formalized agreement for a Joint Water Association system to be submitted at the time of application for final plat approval. . The applicants for Adonai Subdivision, Lockey Estates Subdivision and Tabasco Trail Subdivision have verbally agreed to share in irrigation resources and open space, to be provisioned as notes on the final plats and conditions within a common set of CC&Rs. However, in the event that the above stated agreement does not occur or is not approved by the City then Adonai Subdivision should provide a landscape plan showing how usable open space requirements will be attained either by restructuring existing open space or by adding a pathway system connecting the existing open space to the proposed Tabasco Trail pathway system adjacent to the south portion of Adonai Subdivision. The landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to application for final plat. STAFF RECOMMENDED FINDINGS: . Rezone: With regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and Council", and based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff believes that the proposed rezone is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives because: a. The requested zoning designation of R-2-DA (Residential 1.7-units per acre with a development agreement) is consistent with the Residential Two (2 units per acre maximum) designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map; b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities needed for this site indicate that adequate public facilities exist, or are expected to be provided, to serve all uses allowed on this property under the proposed zone; c. The proposed R-2-DA (ResidentiaI1.7-units per acre with a development agreement) Page 10 of21 K:\PJanning Dept\Eagle AppJications\SUBS\2007\Dwayne Lingel ccf.doc zoning designation is compatible with the RUT (Rural Urban Transition - Ada County designation) zone land use to the north since that area is being developed in a similar manner as this development, and; d. The proposed R-2-DA (Residential 1.7-units per acre with a development agreement) zoning designation is compatible with the R-l (Ada County designation) zone and land use to the south since that area could be developed with lots of similar size in the same manner at a later date; e. The proposed R-2-DA (Residential 1.7-units per acre with a development agreement) zoning designation is compatible with the R-I (Ada County designation) zone land use to the west since that area is being developed in a similar manner as this development, and; f. The proposed R-2-DA (ResidentiaI1.7-units per acre with a development agreement) zoning designation is compatible with the RUT (Residential Urban Transition - Ada County designation) zone and land use to the east since that area will be developed with lots of similar size; g. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described within the Comprehensive Plan; and h. As stated in the Development Agreement, the applicant will remove all existing structures on the site, therefore, no non-conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone. . Preliminary Plat: With regard to Eagle City Code 9-2-3 (D)(3)(a) "Action by the Commission and Council", and based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff believes that the proposed preliminary plat is in accordance with the City of Eagle Code because: 1. The subdivision will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and/or Eagle City Code Title 9, as shown within the findings provided within this document and the proposed residential use is in accordance with the residential land use designation of this area shown within the Comprehensive Plan; 2. The subdivision will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as streets, police and fire protection, schools, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services, as noted in the documentation provided from said agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of approval; 3. That there are no known capital improvement programs for which this development would prevent continuity; 4. That based upon agency verification and additional written comments of the Eagle Fire District, Eagle Sewer District, and United Water Company as conditioned herein, there is adequate public financial capability to support the proposed development; 5. That any health, safety and environmental problems that were brought to the Commission and Council's attention have been adequately addressed by the applicant or will be conditions of approval as set forth within the conditions of approval herein.
