GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES:
Greenbelt Areas and Landscape Screening:
The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on July 25, 2013, shows a 35-foot wide
common lot located adjacent to West Floating Feather Road. West Floating Feather Road
is designated as a minor arterial. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7 (J) (4) (b) a
50-foot wide landscape strip is required adjacent to minor arterials to screen adjacent
incompatible features such as highways, railroads, commercial or industrial uses from
proposed residential properties.
Open Space:
A total of 16.59-acres (22.75%) of common area is proposed within the planned unit
development. The common area is a combination of linear pathways, road buffer areas,
and street landscape islands. A minimum of 20% open space is required within a planned
unit development. Planned unit developments that contain lots that are smaller than the
minimum lot size may be allowed if there is an "offsetting increase" of same square
footage in open space and a favorable findings is made by the Council that the smaller lots
are appropriately integrated into the design and that the building product type is
compatible with the PUD and surrounding area. The initial starting point for minimum
open space, prior to any "offsetting increase" being added, shall be the area equal to ten
percent (10%) of the site, however, the total open space shall be equal to or greater than
twenty percent(20%), inclusive of the"offsetting increase"square footage.
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 requires utility and drainage easements to be not less than
12 feet in width. The applicant provided a preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on
September 12, 2012, which contains separate plat notes that reference the front and rear
property lines have a 12-foot wide utility easement. The preliminary also contains a
separate plat note referencing that side lot line easements have a 6-foot wide public
utilities,property drainage, and property irrigation easement.
Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:
Hydrants are to be located and installed as required by the Eagle Fire District.
On-site Septic System (yes or no)—Yes
The site previously had a home located at 5247 West Floating Feather Road served by an
on-site septic system. The applicant will be required to obtain the proper permits from
Central District Health Department and abandon the septic system prior to submittal of a
final plat application.
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:
Eagle City Code Section 9-3-8 (B) 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
Page 4 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2013\1anewood Sub No.2 ccf doc
design of the subdivision. A majority of the existing trees located around the existing
home on the property, the drainage ditch, and along Floating Feather Road will be
preserved.

6.6 Land Use Implementation Strategies
S. Encourage a variety of housing through such mechanisms as PUD's in subdivisions
including large lot subdivisions.
W. Use smaller planning areas to help guide development in the western planning area.
6.8.2 Village Planning Area
The Village Planning Area is designed to provide flexibility of design while also ensuring
compatibility to existing large lot residential uses and transitional density as development
approaches Homer Road and the Foothills. This area is not intended to be master planned but
does require great care in planning to ensure that uses are compatible and that the Village
Center serves as an anchor of the area and is not taken over by residential uses.
A. Uses/Design
The land use and development policies specific to the Village Planning Area include
residential, commercial, retail, civic, research and development park, corporate and/or
educational campus, hospitality and office uses. Non-residential uses will be focused in
the Village Center.
2. Residential Areas:
b. Decreasing densities should be allowed as the area radiates out of the village
center. The overall densities in the Village Planning Area outside of the village
center shall average 1-2 units per acre to the south of Beacon Light Road.
Residential densities north of Beacon Light should be 1-2 units per acre
transitioning (feathering and clustering) to the north and east ensuring
compatibility with existing residential and foothills development.

8. Proposed schedule for the development of the site;
C. Approval In Principle Of Preliminary Development Plan:
1. The Commission shall review the preliminary development plan to determine if it
is consistent with the intent and purpose of this title; whether the proposed
development advances the general welfare of the community and neighborhood
and whether the benefits, combination of various land uses and the
interrelationship with the land uses in the surrounding area justify the deviation
from standard district regulations and its recommendation to the council. The
Commission's recommendation in principle of the preliminary development plan
shall be necessary before an applicant may submit a final development plan.
Approval in principle shall not be construed to endorse a precise location of uses,
configuration of parcels or engineering feasibility.
2. The Council shall consider all provisions of this chapter including the general
standards applicable to conditional use permits and criteria for conditional uses
before approving in principle a preliminary development plan. The Council may,

report.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the application was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on
October 7, 2013, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The
Commission made their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented by no one.
Page 18 of 32
K'.\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications'Preliminary Development Plans\2013\Lanewood Sub No.2 ccf doc
C. Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
by two (2) individuals. They were in favor of the proposed development, but had the following
concerns:
• The individual who lives south of the proposed development across Floating Feather Road
wants to make sure that the existing berm from Phase One is continued abutting this
development for privacy and noise abatement.
• The individual who lives adjacent to the development is concerned with the stub street
appearing to align with his shop, and wanted to verify that he will continue to get his irrigation
water as he has historically.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
• Commissioner Smith was comfortable with the request to reduce pathways from 8-feet to 6-
feet in width. He was concerned with the 50-foot buffer reduction and wanted to see how the
existing berm from Phase One would tie into Phase Two. After seeing where the existing
berm and future berm were located, he indicated that he was comfortable with the reduction in
berm size.
• Commissioner Roehling felt that if a variance to the pathway width requirement of 8-feet is
reduced to 6-feet on a regular basis, then he felt that Council should rethink/rewrite the Code.
He felt that the landscaping berm should be left at 50-feet, and feels that the closed fencing
"closes off'neighborhoods.
• Chairman Aizpitarte was comfortable with reducing the size of the landscape berm along
Floating Feather to 35-feet to be consistent with Phase One.

annexation with a development agreement (A-03-13/RZ-04-13) with regard to Eagle City Code
Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and Council", and based upon the information provided
concludes that the proposed rezone upon annexation is in accordance with the City of Eagle
Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives because:
a. The requested zoning designation of R-3-DA-P (Residential maximum three units/acre with a
development agreement and a planned unit development) is consistent with the Residential
Two designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map since the proposed
development will provide under 2-dwelling units per acre;
b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities
needed for this site indicates 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-3-DA-P (Residential maximum three units/acre with a development
agreement and a planned unit development) is compatible with the RUT (Ada County
Designation) zone and land use to the north since that area is designated as Residential Two in
the Comprehensive Plan;
d. The proposed R-3-DA-P (Residential maximum three units/acre with a development
agreement and a planned unit development) is compatible with the R-2-DA-P (Residential-two
units per acre with a development agreement) zone and land use to the south since that area
has been developed with lots of similar size;
e. The proposed R-3-DA-P (Residential maximum three units/acre with a development
agreement and a planned unit development) is compatible with the R2 and RUT(Ada County
Designations)zones and land use to the east since that area is designated as Residential Two in
Page 28 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\2013\Lanewood Sub No.2 ccf doc
the Comprehensive Plan and a portion has been approved with lots of similar size with
Lanewood Planned Unit Development;
f. The proposed R-3-DA-P (Residential maximum three units/acre with a development
agreement and a planned unit development) is compatible with the RUT (Ada County
Designation) zone and land use to the west since that area is designated as Residential Two in
the Comprehensive Plan;
g. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" or "Special Area" as
described within the Comprehensive Plan; and
h. The proposed use as conditioned within the development agreement so not to create a non-
conforming use with the R-3 zone.
4. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed conditional use
permit, preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat (CU-05-13/PPUD-05-13/PP-09-13)
and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed development is in
accordance with the City of Eagle Title 9 (Subdivisions)because:
a. That the proposed PUD is in the public interest, advances the general welfare of the
community and neighborhood, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the
community.
The intent of Lanewood Subdivision No. 2 is to provide a development with a transition of
lot sizes, and a variety of single housing types; and
b. That the development be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be
harmonious and appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity and how such use will not change the essential character of the same area.
Lanewood Subdivision No. 2 is designed to not exceed the total allowed density of
Residential Three(up to three (3) units per acre) in the overall development. The proposed
development provides a variety of lot sizes and housing types to blend in with the adjacent
development and future development; and
c. That the development will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future
neighborhood uses.
Lanewood Subdivision No. 2 is proposed to be developed in a manner harmonious with
existing and future uses in the immediate vicinity; and
d. That the development does not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment,
and/or conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or
odors.
No major impacts are expected as this development should only develop normal traffic
patterns that would be related to a residential subdivision development. The proposed
dwelling units on the site will be compatible with existing residential units in the area; and
e. That the development will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as
highways, streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water
and sewer, and schools.
All central services are available to be extended to the site, as noted within the letters
provided by the agencies having jurisdiction over the site. Development of sewer, water,
drainage, streets and other urban services will be provided at the developer's expense; and
Page 29 of 32
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Preliminary Development Plans\20I3\Lanewood Sub Not ccf.doc
f. That the development will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public facilities and services.
All public facilities and services are supplied by the developer and must be approved at
the time of installation and before acceptance by the sewer, City of Eagle Water
Department, or highway district; and
g. That the development is provided with parks, ponds, open areas, areas of special interest,
floodplain preservation, and/or other special features which would not typically be
provided in a non-PUD proposal.
The development plan was designed with consideration given to usable open space and
pedestrian pathways; and
h. That the vehicular approaches to the property are designed to not create an interference
with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares.
The development will include extending two stub streets from the adjacent parcel, and one
new stub street to the adjacent parcels which will provide intra-neighborhood connectivity
upon development of the adjacent properties. The design and construction of the
roadways and entrances is guided by the Ada County Highway District; and
That the development will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic
or historic feature of major importance.
No natural, scenic, or historic features of major importance are known to exist on the site;
and
j. That the proposed development will be harmonious with and in accordance with the
general objectives or with any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed development is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan since the Plan
calls for Residential Two(up to two(2)units per acre); and
The Eagle Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Residential Two with a density
not to exceed two (2) units per acres. The applicant is requesting a R-3-DA-P (Residential
— up to three (3) units per acre with a development agreement — PUD) to allow for
flexibility in design while still maintaining the maximum density of the proposed
development at two(2)units per acre.
k. That the proposed development will be harmonious with and in accordance with the
general objectives or with any specific objective of Eagle City Code Title 8.
This application requests approval for a conditional use permit, preliminary development
plan as outlined in Eagle City Code and satisfies those requirements as well as will be
required to meet the conditions herein and the executed development agreement associated
with the site. In addition, the developer will be required to submit an application for
design review and comply with all Eagle City Codes and conditions of approval of the
design review; and
1. That the benefits, combination of various land uses, and interrelationship with the
surrounding area for this proposed development justifies any proposed deviation from any
standard district regulations.
Residential is the only use approved for this development.
