K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2005\DR-30-05 MOD2 Laguna Fence ccfdoc
• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-6(D):
D. Pathway Design: While the city may exercise considerable discretion in determining the
design of pathways,the following minimum standards shall be followed:
1. The paved portion of the pathway may range from six feet(6')to ten feet(10')in width.
Micropathways within subdivisions which are designed for primary use by the residences
of the subdivision shall be a minimum eight feet(8')wide and shall be located within a
sixteen foot(16')wide pedestrian access easement,however, in an area where low volume
pedestrian traffic is anticipated,the council may consider a reduction in pathway width to
six feet(6'). Regional pathways such as the Boise River greenbelt and pathways located
adjacent to major roadways shall be a minimum ten feet(10')wide and shall be located
within a twenty foot(20')wide pedestrian access easement.
2. Barriers may be placed at the terminal ends of paths to restrict use by motor vehicles
while allowing use by bicycles, wheelchairs and other modes of travel.
3. A five foot(5')wide landscaped area/building and fence setback, as measured from
both edges of the paved path, shall be required, and will be owned by either the abutting
property owner(s)or a homeowners'association unless accepted by a public entity. The
five foot(5')wide landscaped area on either side of the pathway may be decreased to a
minimum of two feet(2')wide(as measured from the edge of asphalt to the easement line)
when used in conjunction with a meandering pathway,however,the total width of the
landscape area shall not be less than ten feet(10')(i.e., 2 feet on one side of the path and 8
feet on the other). For safety purposes, planting material in this area is limited to three feet
(3') in height. The landscape, fence and building regulations for this area shall be indicated
by a note on the plat.
4. The official design standards for pathways set forth in the following manuals are to be
used as guides: the "Bicycle Pedestrian Design Manual" for Ada County,the "Design
Guide For Accessible Outdoor Recreation", and the "Guide For The Development Of
Bicycle Facilities", or other nationally recognized design standards.
5. A root barrier shall be placed on both sides of the pathway to prohibit tree roots from
damaging the pathway surface. The root barrier shall consist of black injection molded
panels with a minimum of 0.085 inch wall thickness in modules a minimum of twenty
four inches(24") long by twenty four inches(24")deep. Each panel shall have no less
than four(4)vertical deflecting ribs of a minimum 0.085 inch thickness protruding one-
half inch(1/2")at ninety degrees(90°)from the interior of the panel, spaced six inches
(6")apart. A minimum of nine(9)antilift tabs,three(3)each between the vertical ribs,
shall be integrated into each panel,measuring a minimum of 0.085 inch thickness and
protruding three-eighths inch(3/8")from the panel wall. An integrated joining system
shall be employed for instant assembly by sliding one panel into the other. An alternative
type barrier system of equal root penetrative resistance may be considered on a case by
case basis, subject to the approval of the zoning administrator.
6. In order to design for crime prevention,the following design standards will be followed:
a. The use of"see through", open fencing, such as wrought iron, is preferred,as it
provides better visibility from adjacent homes or buildings. Solid fencing is
prohibited.
b. Adequate lighting may be provided as determined by Eagle city council and may be
owned and maintained by the city of Eagle once the path is turned over to the city for
maintenance.
Page 7 of 12
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2005\DR-30-05 MOD2 Laguna Fence ccf doc
c. The use of corners and curves in the design of the paths is discouraged.
7. Consideration shall be given to off street parking where paths connect to popular
destination points such as the Boise River greenbelt, and nearby streets may become
congested with vehicles parked by pathway users. Where pathway links connect to major
public open space that require vehicular parking,the council may request the developer to
designate land to be purchased and maintained by the appropriate public authority for
public parking. Buffering of surrounding residential uses shall be considered in the area
for purchase.
C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting approval of a modification to the subdivision's design review approval
to allow for the placement of a barbed wire fence (approximately 3,575—feet previously installed,
approximately 800—feet to be installed) within Common Lot 35 along the south side of the
pathway along the south side of the Boise River.
Pursuant to the applicant's justification letter,the purpose of the fence is to improve the safety and
security of the residents, delineate between the public easement and private common areas and
homes, protect Laguna Pointe property from vandalism, trespassing, and poaching, maintain flood
plain protection, and protect wetlands. The applicant has installed a 4-foot (approximately) high
barbed wire fence in the location specified on the aerial plan, date stamped by the City on
February 2, 2015 (attached hereto). Barbed wire fencing is not an approved fence style within
Eagle City Code, nor is it specifically prohibited. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, if a material
proposed for construction is not listed, it shall be upon the discretion of the zoning administrator,
the design review board, and the city council, whichever the case may be, to determine the
appropriateness of such material.
The location of the barbed wire fence (where currently installed, and proposed, - in such close
proximity to the public pathway along the south side of the south channel of the Boise River)
poses a significant safety concern for the users of the pathway. It is recognized that the Laguna
Pointe Home Owners Association desires to secure their property (as identified herein), however,
such security measures should not be implemented in a manner that creates a public health and a
safety threat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date and due to safety concerns identified within
the staff report, staff recommends denial of the proposed design review modification application.
PUBLIC MEETING OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD:
A. A meeting to consider the application was held before the Design Review Board on February 12, 2015,
at which time the Board made their decision.
BOARD DECISION:
The Board voted 5 to 0 (Martin absent; Baer abstained)to deny DR-30-05 MOD2 for a design
review application to modify the subdivision's design review approval to allow for the placement
of a barbed wire fence(approximately 3,575-feet previously installed,approximately 800-feet to
be installed)within Common Lot 35 along the south side of the pathway along the south side of
the Boise River for Laguna Pointe Homeowners' Association, Inc.
Upon reconsideration,the Board voted 5 to 0 (Martin absent; Baer abstained)to approve a fence
within Lot 35,with the site specific conditions of approval and standard conditions of approval
provided within their findings of fact and conclusions of law document,dated February 26,2015.
