GENERAL SITE DESIGN FEATURES:
Open Space:
Because this subdivision will be located within the R -E zoning district, a minimum amount of
open space is not required, and none is proposed.
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
The applicant should demonstrate that the storm water from individual lots is handled by a storm
drainage facility or the applicant should place a note on the final plat stating all storm water from
the individual lots is to be retained on the individual lots per Eagle City Code 9- 4 -1 -10. This
should be completed prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities:
Eagle City Code Section 9 -3 -6 requires utility easements to be not less than 12 -feet wide, except
that lesser easement widths, to coincide with respective setbacks, may be considered as part of a
planned unit development (PUD).
Fire Hydrants and Water Main:
The applicant is not proposing any fire hydrants since municipal water lines are not located in
proximity to the site.
On -site Septic System — Yes
Since sewer is not located in proximity to the site and the proposed lots are greater than two (2)
acres in size all homes within the development are proposed to be served by individual septic
systems.
Pressurized Irrigation:
The applicant is proposing to irrigate the property through individual wells utilizing an existing
ground water right (Permit No. 63- 339855). The applicant has provided documentation, date
stamped by the City on September 2, 2015, which demonstrates that the ground water right is
adequate to serve the proposed development.
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:
Staff is not aware of any existing natural features on the site which would be required to be
preserved.

K,1Manniog DapAEagle AppliestionaiSUIM20UNGsaigan Estates Sub No 2 pxf Jar
Preservation of Existing Historical Assets:
Staff is not aware of any existing historical assets on the site. If any historical artifacts are
discovered during excavation or development of the site, state law requires immediate notification
to the state.
K. STREET DESIGN:
Private Streets:
The subject site is currently developed with two (2) gravel private lanes. The lots within the
proposed subdivision will gain access from West Hawk Wing Lane, a 1,400 -foot long gravel
private lane terminating with a cul -de -sac. West Hawkcrest Lane (510 -feet in length) provides
access to Lots land 4, Block 1, Garrigan Estates Subdivision.
Blocks Less Than 500% None
Cul -de -sac Design:
The existing private lane (West Hawk Wing Lane) extends 1,400 -feet and terminates into a cul -de-
sac with a 40 -foot wide radius.
Sidewalks:
The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, does not show any sidewalks
within the development. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, in zoning districts which prohibit densities
greater than one dwelling unit per two (2) acres and at the Council's discretion, a four foot (4')
wide striped path (with pedestrian designation markings such as diamonds or pedestrian/bicycle
symbols) on both edges of all internal roadways may be permitted in lieu of constructing
sidewalks.
Curbs and Gutters:
None proposed
Lighting:
No street lights are proposed.
Street Names:
The subdivision is proposed to be served by an existing private Iane (North Hawk Wing Lane).

• EagIe City Code Section 9 -4 -1 -5 Underground Utilities:
Underground utilities are required.
• EagIe City Code 9- 4 -1 -9: Water Supply and Sewer Systems:
C. Pressurized Irrigation Facilities:
1. All residential dwelling units shall be provided with a pressurized irrigation system to
be served with irrigation water unless a waiver, as outlined herein, is approved by the
city council.
The city has adopted supplemental standards and regulations (titled "Pressure
Irrigation Standards ", incorporated herein by reference and available at Eagle city hall)
pertaining to the design, construction and maintenance of pressurized irrigation
systems. Plans and documents reflecting the required standards and regulations shall
be submitted with the application for a preliminary plat.
The following design requirements and the requirements provided within the
supplemental "Pressure Irrigation Standards" shall apply to the pressurized irrigation
system. These standards shall supplement all other regulations, and where at variance
with other Iaws, regulations, ordinances or resolutions, the more restrictive
Page 10 of 27
K Tlmning DgH\E&gle ApplisnionsWUSU )SGamgan Eo ales Sub N, S p=£dac
requirements shall apply. The council may determine that revisions to the
supplemental standards are warranted and make such revisions by act of a resolution.
a. The pressurized irrigation system may have a backup connection to a potable
water system with the approval of the city, city engineer, and the potable water
purveyor, and the installation of a state approved reduced pressure backflow
prevention assembly or an air gap separating the irrigation system and the potable
water system. The operation, maintenance, associated costs, and annual inspection
of the backup connection and the backup system's reduced pressure backflow
prevention assembly shall be the responsibility of the entities as determined in
"Pressure Irrigation Standards" of this section. Individual backup connections to
individual lots by individual lot owners shall be prohibited with the exception of
the common area lots owned and maintained by the homeowners' association.
b. The pressurized irrigation system shall be designed by a licensed professional
engineer registered in the state of Idaho, and the construction plans for the system
shall be reviewed and approved by the city engineer.
2. The requirement for installation of a pressurized irrigation system may be waived by
the city council when the applicant has established that any of the following situations
exist (the sale or transfer of an existing water right shall not be grounds for requesting
a waiver pursuant to this provision):
a. Where a sufficient surface irrigation water right does not exist for the property.
The lack of surface irrigation water right shall be documented in writing by the
appropriate irrigation district or canal company and the department of water
resources and shall be submitted with the subdivision preliminary plat. In this case
a waiver shall only be granted for that portion of the subdivision that cannot be
served.
Where an existing surface water right cannot be delivered to the property by an
irrigation district or canal company due to current delivery capacity or scheduling.
In these situations the city council may still require the installation of the pressure
irrigation system, provided water rights can be made available to the property and
delivery system modifications can be made so irrigation water can be supplied
within two (2) years.
c. Where the applicant has provided for another means of delivery such as flood
irrigation, if approved by the city engineer. The applicant shall present the
proposed alternative delivery system to the city engineer at the time the waiver is
requested.
d. That due to the specific circumstances surrounding a new subdivision, the cost of
obtaining water rights, reestablishing water rights or developing the system would
impose an undue economic hardship on the developer. For purposes of this
section, an undue economic hardship shall consist of a showing that the cost per
lot to develop the pressurized irrigation system would be twenty five percent
(25 %) higher than the cost per lot for providing a pressurized irrigation system to
subdivisions of similar size and density constructed in the city within the previous
two (2) years; or the cost per lot of the pressurized irrigation system would exceed
five percent (5 %) of the expected per lot market value of the subdivision.
The developer shall bear the burden of providing documentation, acceptable to the
city engineer and city council, demonstrating and supporting the estimated costs
Page I 1 of 27
K VNwring bepiSFA& AppUwionslSLW2015\Guripn Eames Sub. No 2 p0doc
of construction of the pressurized irrigation system, and the cost per lot for
irrigation systems in those subdivisions built in the last two (2) years as noted
above, and the expected market value of the subdivision lots. For phased
developments, costs will be analyzed over all phases of the development rather
than the first phase only.
3. Should installation of a pressurized irrigation system be waived by the city engineer,
as outlined herein, compliance to Idaho Code 31 -3805 is still required.
4. Requests for waivers shaII be submitted to the city with the preliminary plat
application and shall be accompanied by an irrigation report, prepared by a licensed
Idaho registered professional engineer, stating the location and availability of surface
irrigation water and documenting the basis for the waiver request. If applicable, the
irrigation report shall be accompanied by a letter from the irrigation district or canal
company stating that water rights and /or a delivery system are not available to the
property. (Ord. 566, 5 -15 -2007)
• Eagle City Code Section 9 -4 -1 -1 l Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:

F. Characteristic vistas and scenic panoramas. (Ord. 566, 5 -15 -2007)
9- 5 -3 -2: Development Evaluation:
A. All development proposals shall take into account and shall be judged by the way in which
land use planning, soil mechanics, engineering geology, hydrology, civil engineering,
environmental and civil design, and architectural and landscape design are applied in
hillside areas, including, but not limited to:
1. Planning on development to fit the topography, soils, geology, hydrology and other
conditions existing on the proposed site;
2. Orientation of development on the site so that grading and other site preparation is

D. DISCUSSION:
• The Comprehensive Plan Foothills Future Land Use Map designates the property as
Residential Rural. The applicant has submitted an annexation, rezone, and combined
preliminary plat and final plat applications for Garrigan Estates Subdivision No. 2, which
consists of 15.9 - acres. The applicant is proposing a 4 -lot (3- buildable, 1- non - buildable)
residential subdivision. The maximum overall density of the project will not exceed .19 -units
per acre.
• Staff has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined preliminary
and final plat and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9- 2 -3(B) "1 thru 5" (minimum criteria
to combine a preliminary and final plat), has made the following conclusions:
Page 15 of 27
K Tlan6ng Dcpt4Eug1c ApplicatioWSUHSMI StiG"pn Dimes Sub. No. 2 paf doc
The proposed combined preliminary and final plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a
floodplain, hillside development or the like;
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in an
acceptable form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any provision
of the Zoning Title of the City.
Although the applicant is not proposing any new street dedication or street widening it should
be noted that the applicant is proposing the existing gravel private street (North Hawk Wing
Lane) be utilized to serve the three (3) residential lots (proposed within Garrigan Estates
Subdivision No. 2) and three (3) of the existing residential lots located within Garrigan Estates
Subdivision.
The proposed subdivision contains slopes which exceed ten percent (10 %). Based upon the
slopes within the site, the proposed subdivision is considered a hillside development pursuant
to Eagle City Code.
Since the proposed subdivision does not meet all of the criteria for a combined preliminary
plat/final plat the aforementioned items will need to be addressed. Staff will recommend that
the proposed subdivision be only considered as a preliminary plat at this time.
The applicant indicated within the provided narrative, date stamped by the City on September
2, 2015, that their desire is to retain and maintain the existing gravel private street. The
preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, shows a 30 -foot wide access
easement. The access easement narrows to 15 -feet in width located adjacent to the western
boundary of Lot 1, Block 1, Garrigan Estates Subdivision. The access easement connects to
Homer Road to the south. The preliminary plat does not identify if the existing private street is
contained within the access easement area. The access easement is approximately 1,400 -feet in
length terminating in a cul -de -sac with a 40 -foot wide radius. Since the applicant is proposing
to utilize the existing gravel private street the cul -de -sac does not contain a landscape island as
required pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 9- 3- 2 -1(G). The preliminary plat does not
identify a typical street section for the private street. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, streets
within a hillside development are required to have standard six inch (6") vertical curbing and
gutter installed along both sides of all paved roadways. Pursuant to Eagle City Code, private
streets and streets within a hillside development are to meet the following requirements: 1) the
private street shall be constructed in accordance with Ada County Highway District's
structural standards for streets including base course and asphaltic concrete mat thickness and
drainage requirements, 2) the two (2) travel lanes shall be a minimum of 12 -feet in width, 3)
vertical curbing shall be provided on each side of the proposed roadway, 4) in the event a
separated sidewalk is not constructed a four foot (4') wide striped path (with pedestrian
designation markings such as diamonds or pedestrian/bicycle symbols) on both edges of all
internal roadways may be permitted in lieu of constructing sidewalks, and 5) construct a cul-
de -sac designed in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9-3-24(G) (circular
turnaround having a minimum radius of 50 -feet of right of way including a landscape island
with a minimum radius of 10- feet). The applicant should provide construction drawings
prepared by a licensed professional engineer showing the following criteria: 1) the private
street shall be constructed in accordance with Ada County Highway District's structural
Page 16 of 27
K TIAMing OeplTaloc ApplicatiorMSUBSUOWGerrigan Esutes Sub. No 2 pzf doc
standards for streets including base course and asphaltic concrete mat thickness and drainage
requirements, 2) the two (2) travel lanes shall be a minimum of 12 -feet in width, 3) vertical
curbing shall be provided on each side of the proposed roadway, 4) in the event a separated
sidewalk is not constructed a four foot (4') wide striped path (with pedestrian designation
markings such as diamonds or pedestrian/bicycle symbols) on both edges of all internal
roadways may be permitted in lieu of constructing sidewalks, and 5) construct a cul -de -sac
designed in accordance with the provisions of subsection 9- 3- 2 -1(G) (circular turnaround
having a minimum radius of 50 -feet of right of way including a landscape island with a
minimum radius of 10- feet). The construction drawings should be provided at the time of
submittal of a final plat application.
The city has not received a private street maintenance plan and schedule. Pursuant to Eagle
City Code, the applicant is required to provide a plan and schedule for the future repair and
maintenance of the private street and associated drainage facilities. The applicant should
provide a private street maintenance plan and schedule with the submittal of a final plat
application. Staff and the City Engineer should review and approve the private street
maintenance plan and schedule prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat.
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, delineates an easement
approximately 10 -feet in width located on each side of the 30 -foot wide access easement. The
preliminary plat does not identify the use of the delineated easements. The applicant should
provide a revised preliminary plat identifying the width and use (i.e. public utility and
drainage) of the easements located on each side of the 30 -foot wide access easement prior to
submittal of a final plat application.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, does not delineate an
interior lot line located between Lot 6 and Lot 9, in proximity to the eastern boundary of the
subdivision, therefore, the lots appear as one lot. The applicant should provide a revised
preliminary plat showing an interior lot line located between Lot 6 and Lot 9 prior to submittal
of a final plat application.
Plat note #4 of the preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, states, "A
twelve (12) foot wide public utilities, and property drainage easement is hereby designated
along all subdivision boundary, rights -of -way, and lot lines." The preliminary plat delineates
and identifies a 10 -foot wide utility and equestrian access easement located between Lots 7
and 8. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat delineating and
identifying the utility and equestrian easement located between Lots 7 and 8 to be 12 -feet in
width prior to submittal of a final plat application.
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, does not show locations
for any street lights. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 9- 4 -1 -5, All subdividers within the
city limits are required to install street lights in accordance with city specifications and
standards at locations designated by the Administrator. The applicant should provide a revised
preliminary plat showing street lights located at the following locations: 1) intersection of
West Homer Road and North Hawk Wing Lane, 2) located at the curve of North Hawk Wing
Lane (approximately 700 -feet north of the intersection) and 3) located at the terminus of the
cul -de -sac. The revised preliminary plat should be submitted prior to the submittal of a final
plat application.
• The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on November 2, 2015, contains a section
identifying the setbacks for the development as the following: Front 30 -feet, Side 25 -feet, and
Rear 25 -feet. Plat note #7 states, "Minimum building setback lines shall be in accordance with
plat and the City of Eagle zoning ordinance at the time of issuance of the building permit. All
Page 17 of 27
K %Ph irdno DeplTagle Appliutions SUBS1201 S\Garripn Eames Sub. No 2 pzr.doc
lot, parcel and tract sizes shall meet dimensional standards as established in the City of Eagle
zoning ordinance." The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the R -E (Residential -
Estates) zoning district. The setbacks for the R -E (Residential- Estates) zoning district are as
follows: Front 50 -feet, Rear 30 -feet, Interior Side 20 -feet, and Street Side 35 -feet. The
applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat with the section identifying the setbacks
removed and plat note #7 revised to state, "Minimum building setback lines shall be in
accordance with the City of Eagle zoning ordinance at the time of issuance of the building
permit. All lot, parcel and tract sizes shall meet dimensional standards as established in the
City of Eagle zoning ordinance." The revised preliminary plat should be provided prior to the
submittal of a final plat application.
Central District Health Department (CDHD) provided correspondence date stamped by the
City on October 8, 2015, which indicated that they will need additional information regarding
the proposed development before they can provide comment. The correspondence also
indicated that CDHD has not received any applications for the proposed development. The
applicant should provide a copy of the CDHD subdivision application and engineering report
at the time of submittal of a final plat application.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone upon
annexation (A- 04- 15/RZ- 09 -15) 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 -E -DA (Residential- Estates with a development agreement)
is consistent with the Residential Rural designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map since the development agreement will restrict the density to not exceed one (1) unit per
five (5) acres;
b. The subdivision will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as streets, police and
fire protection, schools, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water served by individual wells, and
sewer by the utilization of septic systems; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the
establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services, as noted
in the documentation provided from said agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of
approval;
c. The proposed R -E -DA (Residential- Estates with a development agreement) zone is compatible
with the PS (Public /Semipublic) zone and land use to the north since that area is public land
(BLM);
d. The proposed R -E -DA (Residential - Estates with a development agreement) zone is compatible
with the RR and RUT (Rural Residential and Rural -Urban Transition — Ada County designation)
zones and land use to the south since that area may be developed with similar density;
e. The proposed R -E -DA (Residential- Estates with a development agreement) zone is compatible
with the RR (Rural Residential — Ada County designation) zone and land use to the east since that
area may be developed with a subdivision with a similar density;
f. The R -E -DA (Residential- Estates with a development agreement) zone is compatible with the RR
(Rural Residential — Ada County designation) zone and land use to the west since that area may be
developed with a subdivision with similar density;
g. The land proposed for rezone is located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described
within the Comprehensive Plan and at the time of development the applicant will be required to
address any concerns associated with development in these areas;
h. The proposed use, as conditioned within the development agreement, will not create a non-
conforming use within the R -E (Residential- Estates) zone since the allowed density pursuant to the
Conditions of Development will not exceed one (1) unit per five (5) acres.
2. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined preliminary
and final plat (PP/FP- 0I -15) and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9- 2 -3(B) "1 thru 5" (minimum
Page 25 of 27
K Thuunng DeplEngle AppikationskSMSM151Gamgan Eatalo Sub No. 2 pd doe
criteria to combine a preliminary and final plat), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed combined preliminary and final plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) Iots;
The proposed subdivision consists of four (4) lots (3- residential, 1- non - buildable).
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing gravel private street to provide access to the
residential lots contained within the proposed subdivision. Since the applicant is proposing a
private street the applicant will be required to address the operation, maintenance and drainage
issues associated with the proposed private street as required in Site Specific Condition of
Approval 47 herein.
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a floodplain,
hillside development or the like.
The proposed subdivision is not located within an Area of Special FIood Hazard (ASFH),
however, the site is located in an area of critical concern as designated pursuant to Eagle City Code
Title 9. The application is not in accordance with the requirements of combining a
preliminary/final plat since the site contains slopes which are greater than ten percent (10 %) and
the applicant will be required to address the hillside development issues and associated
environmental impacts.
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in an acceptable form;
and
The applicant has not provided an Operation and Maintenance Manual for the private street. The
applicant will be required to provide final grading plans with the submittal of a final plat
application.
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any provision of the
Zoning Title of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map shows this area as designated Residential Rural which
allows a maximum density of one (1) unit per five (5) acres. The proposed subdivision will contain
three (3) buildable lots. The property will have an R -E -DA (Residential- Estates with a
development agreement) zoning designation. The development agreement will limit the density of
the development to not exceed one (1) unit per five (5) acres.
3. The Commission reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed preliminary plat
(PP/FP- 01 -15) and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed preliminary plat
application is in accordance with the City of Eagle Title 9 (Subdivisions) because:
a. The subdivision will be harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives or with
any specific objective of the Comprehensive Plan and /or Eagle City Code Title 9, as shown within
the findings provided within this document and the proposed residential use is in accordance with
the residential land use designation of this area shown within the Comprehensive Plan; Will be
harmonious with and in accordance with the general objectives of Title 9 of the Eagle City Code
since the development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation of
Residential Rural and provides the required improvements for a subdivision or as may be
conditioned herein;
b. The subdivision will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as streets, police and
fire protection, schools, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water served by individual wells, and
sewer by the utilization of septic systems; or that the persons or agencies responsible for the
Page 26 of 27

establishment of the proposed use shall be able to provide adequately any such services, as noted
in the documentation provided from said agencies and as required as a part of the conditions of
approval;
c. Will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for facilities and services as the
site will be served with individual wells and the utilization of septic systems. Fire protection will
be available from the Star Fire Protection District;
d. Will have vehicular approaches to the property designed to not create an interference with traffic
on surrounding public thoroughfares since the project is required to be reviewed and approved by
the Ada County Highway District and is subject to the conditions herein;
e. While there is no capital improvement program there is no known capital improvement programs
for which this development would prevent continuity;
f. That based upon agency verification and additional written comments provided, or as conditioned
herein, there is adequate public financial capability to support the proposed development;
