C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 5,922-square foot,two story
retail/office/apartment building. The retail and office uses will occupy the first floor and two
apartment units will be on the second floor. According to the applicant's justification letter,date
stamped by the City on August 23, 2012, the proposed design relates to the traditional design
characteristics of the Italianate style but also introduces contrasting,yet complementing elements
that offset the traditional foundation of the design. It is the applicant's opinion that the placement
Page 7 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2012\DR-44-12 Virtual IT Mixed Use bldg drf.doc
of a building on the site,the manner in which it relates to the street,and its basic mass,form,and
materials is as important if not more important than adhering to a specific architectural design.The
applicant believes the building design is compatible with the historic context of the City,while it
also distinguishes itself as being"innovative". The building's design is simple in its massing and
detail with clean lines and strong massing elements.
Staff met with the applicant and provided feed back with regard to how the building would be
perceived as modern as it went through the review process. The applicant is aware of this and is
prepared to provide greater explanation regarding the design of the building to the Board. Staff
defers further comment and recommendation to the Design Review Board regarding the design of
the building.
• The application and elevation plans, date stamped by the City on August 23, 2012, indicate that
EIFS is to be used on approximately 49%of the exterior of the building. Pursuant to Eagle City
Code,EIFS is permitted for accent only with a maximum of 10%per façade allowed. The
applicant has indicated that they are willing to change the material to stucco but would like to
discuss this further with the Board. It is the applicant's opinion that changing from EIFS to stucco
will change some of the clean lines detailed on the building since EIFS requires less control or
expansion joints than stucco does. The applicant should be required to provide revised elevation
plans showing the material to be used on the exterior of the building to be stucco. The revised
elevation plans should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review
Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• Pursuant to Eagle City Code, all buildings are to include a"storefront"on the ground floor
consisting of a minimum of 50%glass and floors above the main floor are required to have a
minimum of 25%glass. The front of any building is the facade that fronts upon any street. This
site is adjacent to North 15`Street and East Idaho Street;therefore,50%glass is required on the
ground floor and 25%glass is required on the second floor on the west and south building
elevations. The elevation plans, date stamped by the City on August 23, 2012, show the
following:
North 15`Street(west elevation)
Ground floor=32% Second floor=31%
East Idaho Street(south elevation)
Ground floor=37% Second floor=26%
The applicant should be required to provide revised elevation plans showing a minimum of 50%
glass on the west and south building elevations. The revised elevation plans should be reviewed
and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• This site is located within the Transitional Development Area(TDA). The front setback for
buildings located within the TDA is to be a minimum of 10-feet to a maximum of 25-feet and the
side setback is to be 0-feet to a maximum of 25-feet. The site plan, date stamped by the City on
August 23, 2012, shows the front setback to be 0-feet and the side setback to the north to be 67-
feet. Staff defers comment regarding the front and side setbacks of the building to the Design
Review Board.
• There is a 30-inch caliper maple tree located at the southwest corner of the site. The applicant
indicates that the tree is in poor health and that they are proposing to remove the tree in order to
construct the streetscape along North 1st Street and East Idaho Street in accordance with Eagle City
Code. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, existing trees are to be retained unless removal is approved by
the City. Where trees are approved by the City to be removed from the project site(or from
abutting right of way),replacement with an acceptable species is required. Since the applicant is
Page 8of14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2012\DR-44-12 Virtual IT Mixed Use bldg drfdoc
removing 30-inches of tree caliper from the site,the applicant should be required to provide a
landscape plan showing 30-inches of tree caliper on-site or provide a monetary amount to the City
Tree Fund for the removal of said tree. A revised landscape plan showing 30-inches of tree caliper
replaced on-site should be reviewed and approved by staff and two members of the Design Review
Board OR a monetary amount should be paid to the City Tree Fund in an amount to be determined
by the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate for this site.
• Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.

Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval with the site
specific conditions of approval and the standard conditions of approval provided within the staff
report.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on August 23, 2012.
2. Requests for agencies' reviews were transmitted on August 30, 2012, in accordance with the
requirements of the Eagle City Code.
3. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review application
(DR-44-12) with regard to the Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Article A, DR Design Review
Overlay District, and based upon the information provided with the conditions required herein,
concludes that the proposed design review application is in accordance with the Eagle City Code and
the Eagle Comprehensive Plan as described herein.
The Board recognizes that the building and site as designed do not comply with several areas of the
code regarding setbacks, percentage of glass on the street facing facades, and mitigation for the
removal of the large maple tree. It is the Board's opinion that the architecture of the building, the
proposed mix of uses, and the placement of the building on the site meets the intent of the Eagle
Comprehensive Plan; which encourages a mix of uses, active streets, and walkability in the
Downtown. The Board determined that the maple tree located on the northeast corner of 15Y Street and
Idaho Street was of poor structure, near the end of its life, and should be removed without mitigation
The removal of the maple tree allows the applicant to design and place their building at the northeast
corner of the 1 S` Street and Idaho Street intersection, locate the parking to the north of the building,
complete the streetscape along both streets, complete the bulb out at the intersection, all while
providing greater visibility of this site from State Street. It is with these improvements that the Board
recommends approval of this project as proposed and with the modifications noted herein.
4. Will, in fact,constitute a permitted use as established in Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 3,
for the CBD(central business district)zoning district.
