solutions to land use problems. Under certain site conditions, a strict interpretation of
requirements may be either physically impossible or impractical. Alternative compliance is a
procedure that allows certain modifications to existing regulations within this section.
Requests for use of alternative landscaping schemes are justified only when one or more of
the following conditions apply:
Page 6 of 14
K:1Planning Dcpt\Eagle Applications\Di 201S\DR-31-15 MOD Warrior Park Sub LS ccfdocx
a. The sites involve space limitations or unusually shaped parcels;
b. Topography, soil, vegetation, or other site conditions are such that full compliance is
impossible or impractical;
c. Due to a change of use of an existing site, the required buffer yard is larger than can be
provided; and
d. Safety considerations are involved.

written request if an alternative method of compliance is proposed. The request shall state
which requirement as set forth within this section is to be modified, what project conditions
stated within subsection 01 of this section justify using the proposed alternative, and how the
proposed alternative equals or exceeds said requirement.
3. Tree Fund: Persons applying for an alternative method of compliance for relief from
regulations that require all existing trees to remain on site may elect to make a financial
contribution to the Eagle city tree fund in lieu of retaining all trees on site. The condition(s)
which warrants the need for the tree fund alternate method of compliance shall be specified in
the application submitted under subsection 02 of this section. If the application is approved,
the amount to be contributed by the applicant will be based upon the total caliper inches of
deciduous tree(s) removed from the site and the total vertical feet of coniferous trees removed
from the site. Cost per caliper inch for deciduous trees and cost per vertical foot for
coniferous trees shall be determined by resolution of the city council. The applicant shall
have the right to review and consider the value determination, and following said review, to
reapply for other alternative methods of compliance, without prejudice, in accordance with
subsection 02 of this section.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-3-10: Fences:
Any fencing located adjacent to common area open spaces and on the street side of all corner lots
shall be an open fencing style such as wrought iron or other similar decorative style, durable
fencing material, unless the fence is located on the property line between the required roadway
buffer area and the residential lot, in which case the fence may be a solid wood picture frame or
premium vinyl picture frame fence as identified in the EASD book. If the buffer area is designed
so that the fence is visible from the adjacent roadway, then the fence shall include decorative
columns spaced a maximum of sixty feet (60') apart. Specific buffer area fences and decorative
walls may be allowed as otherwise required in subsection 8-2A-7J of this code. Chain link, cedar,
and similar high maintenance and/or unsightly fencing shall not be permitted within the above
designated areas. A section within the subdivision CC&Rs shall be created for the regulation of
fences to this effect.
D. 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.
