is requesting design review approval for the common area landscaping within Parkway
development, including a 3,000-square foot office (medical and dental) building for Parkway
Dental and a phasing plan for the entire site.The site plan shows the project to be completed within
three phases. Phase one includes the construction of an office (medical and dental) building,
removal of the shed,demo of the existing office(medical and dental)building, landscaping within
the right-of-way area adjacent to East State Street, the paved parking lot, and the common area
landscaping throughout the entire site. The existing office (medical and dental) building will
removed and the paved drive aisle and parking lot completed prior to the new office(medical and
dental) building opening. Phase two includes the southernmost pad site and walkway around a
future building.Phase three includes the northernmost pad site. Staff defers comment regarding the
phasing plan to the Design Review Board.
• The applicant's justification letter states that the office (medical and dental) building is modeled
after the Craftsman style of architecture which is one of the nine architectural styles within the
Eagle Architecture and Site Design Book. The building entry focuses on a low-pitched hip roof
with stone accents, the body has a low pitched roof with large overhangs and dark colored fascia,
and material accents in wood, stone,and stucco. Staff defers comment regarding the common area
Page 9 of 18
K:Tlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2022\Parkway Dental DR-03-22\DR-03-22 Parkway Dental ccf.docx
landscaping and the building style, materials,and colors to the Design Review Board.
The proposed building should be designed to be harmonious with buildings in the surrounding
vicinity. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-2A-13(B)(2)(d)&(e), the proposed building should be
designed to not interfere with the visual character, quality or appearance of the surrounding area
and City, and where possible, enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural
features, and will have facades, features, and other physical improvements that are designed as a
whole, when viewed alone as well as in relationship to surrounding buildings and settings. Staff
defers comment of the proposed building regarding the harmonious nature and relationship of the
building to the surrounding vicinity to the Design Review Board.
• The site has existing chain link fencing adjacent to the east, west, and south property lines. The
landscape plan shows a 6-foot tall vinyl fence proposed along the south, west and east property
lines,however,the plan does not indicate the chain link fencing will be removed nor identifies the
color of the vinyl fencing. In addition, fencing is only required on the south, west, and southern
half of the east property line (adjacent to residential). Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-
6(B)(3),chain link fencing is prohibited,and vinyl fencing may be permitted if the City determines
that the style of fence proposed is complementary to the building architecture and overall site
design.

The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the chain link fencing
removed from the south, east, and west property lines. Staff defers comment regarding the vinyl
fencing location and material to the Design Review Board. If the Board approves the 6-foot tall
vinyl fencing, the applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the
color of the vinyl fencing. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff
prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The site plan shows the building front setback at 81-feet and side setbacks at 90.5-feet and 147-
feet. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(D)(3), the front setback is required to be a
minimum of 10-feet to a maximum of 25-feet and the side setbacks are required to be a minimum
of 0-feet to a maximum of 10-feet. The site plan shows three pad sites on the east side of the site
and the parking lot located on the west side of the site. The proposed office building is oriented
with the front of the building facing west toward the parking lot. The site plan shows proposed
property lines. If the site was platted with the proposed property lines, this building would have a
Page 10 of 18
K:Tlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2022\Parkway Dental DR-03-22\DR-03-22 Parkway Dental ccfdocx
front setback of 81-feet and side setbacks of 5.5-feet (north) and 50-feet (south). Staff defers
comment regarding the setbacks to the Design Review Board.
• The proposed office(medical and dental)building is approximately 3,000-square feet and has a lot
coverage of 7% (based on the entire site) or 18% (based on proposed property lines). Pursuant to
Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(D)(3), the required lot coverage is a minimum of 20% to a
maximum of 85%. The site plan shows three pad sites. The potential lot coverage for Building 2
(southernmost) with a 3,000-square foot building is 20% and Building 3 (northernmost) with a
3,000-squarefoot building is 23.5%. If all three buildings were built,the total lot coverage for the
entire site would be 20%. Staff defers comment regarding the lot coverage to the Design Review
Board
• The landscape plan shows the area between the pathway and the roadway to be landscaped with
dryland seed which is not consistent with the streetscape within the Transitional Development Area.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the area north of the
pathway adjacent to East State Street landscaped with sod or fescue. The sod or fescue in this area
should be irrigated and maintained by the managing entity of this development. The revised
landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.
• The landscape plan shows the sidewalk on the west side of drive aisle connecting to a landscaped
area,however,the sidewalk is connecting to an existing sidewalk.

the site. The applicant is proposing to increase the size of 16 trees from 2-inch caliper to 3-inch
caliper for a total of 16-additional caliper inches to mitigate for the tree. If the Board approves the
removal of the Honey Locust tree and proposed mitigation, no additional mitigation is required.
• The site plan shows four interior planter islands with parking lot lights and the landscape plan
shows the same interior planter islands planted with a tree. The location of the light poles within
the interior planter islands shown on the site and landscape plan do not match.The applicant should
be required to provide a revised site and landscape plan showing the location of the parking lot
lights not in conflict with the tree canopy. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.

phase three. The office(medical and dental)building will be accessed from the new drive aisle on
the west half of the site and the existing building will need to be removed in order for the drive
aisle to be installed. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan revising
note no. 13 to state that the existing building will be demolished upon completion of the office
(medical and dental)building on future pad site 2. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed
and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
