C. DISCUSSION:
The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 5,709- square foot, two story
retail/office building. As noted in the applicant's justification letter, date stamped by the City on
January 21, 2016, with the exception of eliminating the residential uses from the project, this
application is consistent with the original application approved by the Design Review Board in
2012. The proposed design is simple in its massing and detail with clean lines and strong
massing elements. The architectural design relates to the traditional design characteristics of the
Prairie style architecture, utilizing a mixture of brick and stucco. Painted fiber cement board lap
siding is being utilized to present a warm texture facing the residential neighborhood to the north
and east.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code, all buildings are to include a "storefront" on the ground floor
consisting of a minimum of 50% glass and floors above the main floor are required to have a
minimum of 25% glass. This building has frontage on both North 1st Street and East Idaho Street.
The elevations plans, date stamped by the City on July 21, 2016, show the following:
North I" Street (west elevation)
Ground floor = 27% Second floor = 29%
East Idaho Street (south elevation)
Ground floor = 32% Second floor = 18%
Pursuant to Eagle City Code, buildings located within the Transitional Development Area (TDA)
are required to have a front setback of 10 -feet to a maximum of 25 -feet, the side setback is to be
0 -feet to a maximum of 25 -feet. The site plan, date stamped by the City on January 21, 2016,
shows the front setback (west) to be 0 -feet and the side setback (north) to be 67 -feet.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code, existing trees are to be retained unless removal is approved by the
City. Where trees are approved by the City to be removed from the project site (or from abutting
right of way), replacement with an acceptable species is required. Since the applicant is
removing 30- inches of tree caliper from the site, the applicant should be required to provide a
landscape plan showing 30- inches of tree caliper on -site or provide a monetary amount to the
City Tree Fund for the removal of said tree.
On November 15, 2012, the Eagle Design Review Board approved a design review application
for a multi- tenant retail/office /apartment building on this site (DR- 44 -12). The Board recognized
that the building and site as designed did not comply with several areas of the code regarding
setbacks, percentage of glass on the street facing facades, and mitigation for the removal of the
large maple tree. It was the Board's opinion that the architecture of the building, the proposed
mix of uses, and the placement of the building on the site met the intent of the Eagle
Comprehensive Plan; which encourages a mix of uses, active streets, and walkability in the
Downtown. They also determined that the maple tree located on the northeast corner of 1 s` Street
and Idaho Street was of poor structure, near the end of its life, and should be removed without
mitigation. By removing the maple tree, the applicant was able to design and place their building
at the northeast corner of 1st Street and Idaho Street, locate the parking to the north of the
building, complete the streetscape along both streets, complete the bulb out at the intersection, all
while providing greater visibility of this site from State Street. Staff defers comment regarding
the building architecture, percentage of glass on the street facing facades, and the mitigation for
the removal of the large maple tree to the Design Review Board. However, if the Board does not
find the same findings as they did on November 15, 2012, the following conditions should apply:
1. Provide revised elevation plans showing a minimum of 50% glass on the main floor on
the west and south building elevations and 25% glass on the second floor on the south
Page 7 of 13
KAPlanning Dept\Fagle Applicatiom\DA20I6t13R -0416 Vinual IT Bldg d,fdocx
building elevation. The revised elevation plans should be reviewed and approved by staff
and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
2. Provide a revised site plan showing the building setbacks a minimum of 10 -feet from the
west property line and a maximum of 10 -feet from the north property line. The revised
site plan should be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the
issuance of a zoning certificate.
3. Provide a revised landscape plan showing 30- inches of tree caliper on -site OR provide a
monetary amount to the City Tree Fund for the removal of the maple tree. A revised
landscape plan showing 30- inches of tree caliper replaced on -site should be reviewed and
approved by staff and two members of the Design Review Board OR a monetary amount
should be paid to the City Tree Fund in an amount to be determined by the Design
Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
An 18 -foot wide right of way is located adjacent to the north property line of this site. Pursuant
to the Comprehensive Plan and Eagle City Code, development in this area should be located
adjacent to Idaho Street with access and parking located to the rear of the property. With existing
right of way located adjacent to the north property line of all the properties located on the north
side of Idaho Street, between 1st Street and 21 Street, this right of way will only help achieve the
look of the downtown the city desires by providing access to the rear of these properties allowing
the buildings to be designed to front Idaho Street with the parking located behind the buildings.
On November 15, 2012, the Eagle Design Review Board approved a design review application
for a multi- tenant retail/office /apartment building on this site (DR- 44 -12). With the approval of
DR- 44 -12, the applicant was required to pave the alley, as was noted on the site plan. The
applicant appealed the requirement of paving the alley to the City Council (AA- 02 -12). On
November 27, 2012, the Eagle City Council approved the applicant's appeal which did not
require the applicant to pave the right of way of the alley. Although the site plan for this
application, date stamped by the City on January 21, 2016, indicates the alley right of way is to be
improved, the applicant is not planning to improve the alley (see attached email dated February
18, 2016). If the Design Review Board and City Council determine the alley right of way should
not be paved with this application, the applicant should be required to provide a revised site plan
removing the note that the alley right of way is to be improved. The revised site plan should be
reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval with the site
specific conditions of approval and the standard conditions of approval provided within the staff
report.
PUBLIC MEETING OF THE BOARD:
A. A meeting to consider the application was held before the Design Review Board on February 25, 2016,
at which time the Board made their decision.
B. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the Design Review Board by no one.
C. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Design Review Board by no one (not
including the applicant/representative).

The Board recognizes that the building and site as designed do not comply with several areas of the
code regarding setbacks, percentage of glass on the street facing facades, and mitigation for the removal
of the large maple tree. It is the Board's opinion that the architecture of the building, the proposed mix
of uses, and the placement of the building on the site meets the intent of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan;
which encourages a mix of uses, active streets, and walkability in the Downtown. The Board
determined that the maple tree located on the northeast corner of I ` Street and Idaho Street was of poor
structure, near the end of its life, and should be removed without mitigation. The removal of the maple
tree allows the applicant to design and place their building at the northeast corner of the IS` Street and
Idaho Street intersection, locate the parking to the north of the building, complete the streetscape along
both streets, complete the bulb out at the intersection, all while providing greater visibility of this site
from State Street. It is with these improvements that the Board recommends approval of this project as
proposed and with the modifications noted herein.
2. Will, in fact, constitute a permitted use as established in Eagle City Code Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 3,
for the CBD (central business district) zoning district.
