C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to complete improvements for the terrain park
to be located within the Eagle-Ada sports Complex. The applicant indicates within their
justification letter that they desire to create a year round recreation opportunity for the community.
The first phase consists of creating a winter recreation park which would include tubing, skiing,
and snowboarding. Future phases would consist of water recreation activities that may include
cable wake boarding and/or wave production elements for surfing, kayaking, and boogie boarding
or body surfing.
This phase of the improvements consists of re-grading certain areas of the park to enhance the
terrain for recreational features both winter and summer sports and improve the drainage from
existing locations to the vacated Velodrome excavation site. A vinyl pond liner is proposed to line
the Velodrome site for water storage to provide for snow making operations,to recapture surface
runoff and drainage that will be reused for snowmaking purposes. The applicant is also requesting
approval to install two (2)temporary self-contained portable structures. One structure is to be used
for ticket,rental and sales office with space to store tubes and rental equipment and a second
structure is to be used to enclose the pumps, electrical equipment, and plumbing equipment.
• The letter date stamped by the City on November 20,2013, from Ada County Development
Services addresses several concerns the County has with this proposed project. The majority of
the letter addresses the lease agreement between the City and the County and whether this is a
permitted use on the property. The Board is not tasked with interpreting the lease agreement. The
lease agreement for the land use is to be interpreted by the County Commissioners and City
Council. For the purpose of this application,the Board is responsible for reviewing the
beautification of the site, building design, signs, and grading. Several of the items listed within the
letter from Ada County Development Services which addresses"Project Concerns"are also
concerns addressed by the City Engineer, Holladay Engineering, in their email response dated
December 3, 2013. The applicant should be required to comply with the conditions of the City
Engineer as addressed in their response dated December 3, 2013. The conditions should be
addressed prior to the applicant completing any work within the Sport Complex and prior to the
issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The applicant indicates within their justification letter that the two (2)temporary self-contained
portable structures comply with the Prairie School architectural style as depicted within the EASD
Book. While the applicant is correct in describing the proposed buildings as boxy and
symmetrical with hipped roofs,there is little else in the design of these buildings that comply with
the Prairie School architectural style. With that said,the applicant incorporated colors and
Page 8 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2013\DR-61-13 Terrain Park Improvements drf doc
materials used in the construction of the existing restroom/concessions structure within the
skateboard area of the park and these are temporary structures until future phases permit the
construction of permanent structures. Staff defers comment to the Design Review Board regarding
the architectural design, color, and materials proposed on the two(2)temporary self-contained
portable structures.
• The applicant indicated within the application that a trash enclosure has already been constructed
on this site. Staff is unaware of an enclosure being located on this site. The applicant should be
required to provide a site plan showing the proposed location of the trash enclosure including
materials to be used in the construction of a trash enclosure on this site. The site plan and/or
detailed elevation plans should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.
• On April 10, 2007,the Eagle City Council approved a design review application for the Idaho
Velodrome within the Eagle-Ada Sports Complex(DR-03-07). The approval of the Idaho
Velodrome design review included the landscaping proposed within the parking lot. The applicant
should be required to complete the landscaping within the existing parking lot that will be utilized
by the proposed terrain park patrons. The landscaping should be complete prior to the issuance of
a certificate of occupancy/completion of any structures. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-2A-7(H),
the Zoning Administrator may authorize a delay in the completion of planting during the months
of November, December, January, February, and March due to weather conditions, if a surety is
provided to the City.
• The applicant has provided cut sheets of the light fixtures to be utilized to illuminate the terrain
park; however, a site plan showing the location of any proposed light fixtures and pole heights
specific to this project has not been submitted to the City. In addition,the applicant is proposing
the use of metal halide luminaires. Pursuant to Eagle City Code,the use of metal halide light
fixtures has to be specifically approved by the Board. The Board must find the following when
metal halide lighting is used:
(1)The lighting shall be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives, or
with any specific objective of chapter 2, article A of Eagle City Code;
(2)The lighting shall be installed, operated, and maintained to be harmonious and appropriate
in appearance with the existing and intended character of the general vicinity and will not
change the essential character of the same area; and
(3) The lighting will not be disturbing to existing or future neighboring uses.
The applicant should be required to provide detailed cut sheets, site plan, specific wattage used,
etc. of all lighting to be used to illuminate the terrain park and the parking area. The detailed cut
sheets and site plan should be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Administrator prior to the
City issuing a zoning certificate.
• Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.

specific conditions of approval and the standard conditions of approval provided within the staff
