DISCUSSION: • The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the common area landscaping associated with Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, within Warrior Park Subdivision. The lots were previously approved for commercial use. On July 28, 2020, the City Council approved a modification to the rezone development agreement to convert the two commercial lots to two residential lots. The lots are currently landscaped with an existing eight -foot wide landscape strip and five-foot wide detached sidewalk adjacent to North Park Lane (West), West Flint Drive (North), and North Sauer River Avenue (Fast) and an existing landscaped area with five trees and an attached sidewalk adjacent to West Johnny Street (South). Due to the lots previously being intended for commercial uses, a landscape buffer for a residential use adjacent to a collector road was not installed. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A- Page7of14 K \Planning Dept\Fagle Applications \Dr\2015\DR-31-15 MOD Warrior Park Sub LS ccf.docx 7(J)(4)(a), a 35-foot wide buffer with a five-foot minimum to eight -foot maximum high berm planted with four shade trees, five evergreen trees, and twenty-four shrubs every 100-linear feet is required adjacent to North Park Lane. The landscape buffer and berm are required to provide an acoustic cover between residential homes and a collector road. The applicant has submitted an Alternative Method of Compliance request to allow for a two -foot, six-inch wide landscape strip planted with Degroot's Spire Arborvitae and Highland Cream Thyme and a six foot high concrete fence directly east of the existing eight -foot wide landscape strip and five-foot wide sidewalk in lieu of the 35-foot wide buffer. Staff defers comment regarding the Alternative Method of Compliance request to the Design Review Board. If the Design Review Board recommends approval of the Alternative Method of Compliance request, staff recommends the applicant provide a revised landscape plan showing Columnar Spruce, Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, or other plant species as recommended by the Board in place of the Degroot's Spire Arborvitae, located between the sidewalk and concrete fence. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to submittal of a building permit. • The landscape plan shows a wrought iron fence adjacent to West Flint Drive, but the height and color of the fence and columns are not identified. The landscape plan shows a concrete fence adjacent to North Park Lane and West Johnny Street, but the color of the fence is not shown. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan identifying the height and color of the wrought iron fence and columns adjacent to West Flint Drive and the color of the concrete fence adjacent to North Park Lane and West Johnny Street. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to submittal of a building permit. • The landscape plan shows a six-foot tall concrete fence along the south property line and encroaching into the front yard by three -feet. Development agreement condition of development No. 3.9 permits a solid fence along the south property line and it is not permitted to encroach into the front yard. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the solid concrete fence along the south property line not encroaching into the front yard. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to submittal of a building permit. • Staff defers comment regarding the modifications to the common area landscaping to the Design Review Board.
