E. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval for eleven townhome buildings (63-units)
within Kingfisher Cove Townhomes Subdivision. The applicant's justification letter states the
townhome buildings are designed with the Craftsman style of architecture which is one of the nine
architectural styles in the Eagle Architecture and Site Design book. Design elements include gable
roof structures with wide overhanging eaves, poches with wood beam accents, a mixture of wood
siding elements, stone bases on the columns, and decorative beams under porch coverings. The
justification letter states that the surround area is mostly residential homes and the most popular
home style is Craftsman, therefore the buildings were designed based on what would suit the
surroundings best. Staff defers comments regarding the building design, 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(13)(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 building elevations do not show any building wall lighting proposed and no detailed lighting
cutsheets were received. If the applicant is proposing building wall lighting, the applicant should
be required to provide revised building elevations showing the location of all building wall lighting
