• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-8: Underground Utilities:
Underground utilities are required.
• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-9: Water Supply and Sewer Systems:
C. Pressurized Irrigation Facilities:
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.
D. DISCUSSION(based on the preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on January 31, 2022):
• The applicant is proposing a private street (East Syringa Lane [Private]) to provide access to
all of the single-family residential lots. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 indicates that private
streets may be permitted at the discretion of the City Council based on specific criteria.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5(A)(9) states, private streets and private alleys
are only permitted within a planned unit development and are limited to providing access to
no more than ten percent (10%) of the lots, except that private streets and private alleys may
serve all single-family attached dwelling lots. The typical street section shows a detached
sidewalk located on only one (1) side of the street. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 9-3-
2-5(B)(3), sidewalks shall be required in accordance with subsection 9-4-1-6(F) of this title.
However, alternative sidewalk and landscape strip designs may be approved by the City
Council based upon a finding made by the Council that characteristics and qualities of the
development justify the alternate design. Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-6(F)(1) requires that
sidewalks be located on both sides of the street. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5(E) allows
the City Council to waive or modify any of the standards or requirements when the private
street is determined to be an integral element of the overall plan and scheme of the
development. Staff will defer to the Council regarding the allowance of a private street to
serve all the residential lots and the allowance of a detached sidewalk on only one (1) side of
the street.
• The common lots located within the development contain approximately 13,885-square feet
(not inclusive of the private street area) which is 23% of the site. The applicant is proposing
the development as a planned unit development which requires a minimum of 20% open
space which is 12,022-square feet of common area based on the area of the property. Lots 5
and 9, Block 1, contain a fire department required emergency access turnaround easement
which will be paved similar to the proposed private street. Eagle City Code Section 9-1-6
defines open space as a common area platted as a separate lot(except for the portion of the 8-
Page 11 of 25
\\Eag1efs2\Common\P1anning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2021\Cadenza Court Sub\Working Files\Cadenza Court Sub ccf doc
foot-wide landscape strip located adjacent to and within the public right of way of a local
street) substantially open to the sky, exclusive of streets, commercial and residential
buildings, and shall be designated and intended as a usable and convenient amenity for the
residences of any proposed development. Although the emergency access turnaround area is
not a street, the area will function as a street to allow vehicles to turnaround. The applicant
should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat showing a minimum 20% open space
(not inclusive of the private street or emergency access turnaround area. The revised
preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a design review application.
• The preliminary plat delineates the building setback lines within the residential lots. Pursuant
to Eagle City Code Section 8-2-4, the setbacks associated with the R-6 (Residential) zone are
as follows:
Front 20-feet
Rear 20-feet
Side 7.5-feet(additional 5-feet/story for multi-story structures)
The building setback lines delineated on Lots 6 and 8, Block 1, show three (3) sides of the lot
with a 7.5-foot setback and what appears to be the rear of the lot with a with a 20-foot
setback. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat showing the
building setback lines associated with Lots 6 and 8, Block 1, in conformance with Eagle City
Code Section 8-2-4. The revised preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a
final plat application.
• The applicant is requesting a R-6-DA (Residential with a development agreement [in lieu of a
PUD]) zoning designation. The required front setback within the R-6 (Residential) zoning
designation is 20-feet. The typical street section shown within the preliminary plat shows the
proposed 5-foot-wide detached sidewalk abutting the front property line of residential lots.
Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2-4(G) all front load garages are required to be set
back a minimum of 25 feet from the back of the sidewalk. The preliminary plat delineates
building envelopes which show the front setback line to be 20-feet behind the back of
sidewalk. It is staffs opinion to address the spacing between the front of the garage and the
back of sidewalk the front setback should be modified as follows:
Front: 20-feet
25-feet(front-load garage)
Rear: 20-feet
Side: 7.5-feet(first story) 5-feet(each additional story) (Lots 6 and 8, Block 1,
the garage opening shall be 25-feet from the property line)
Street Side: 20-feet
Maximum Lot Coverage: 50%
* A single-family dwelling unit that utilizes a side entry garage shall be permitted to have a
5-foot reduction in the minimum required front yard setback provided that the distance is no
less than 20 feet from the property line.
• The applicant's engineer has provided a Revised Waiver of Pressure Irrigation Requirement
correspondence, date stamped by the City on December 27, 2021, which indicates there are
no water rights available for the subdivision and therefore cannot serve the subdivision with
pressurized irrigation. The narrative further states, that based on there being no water shares
available for the property they are requesting a waiver from the City's requirement to provide
a pressure irrigation system to serve the subdivision. Therefore, all of the lots within the
Page 12 of 25
\\Eag1efs2\Common\P1anning Dept\Eagle App1ications\SUBS\2021\Cadenza Court Sub\Working Files\Cadenza Court Sub ccf doc
subdivision will be irrigated from the domestic water system. Kari Rosti, with New Dry
Creek Ditch Company,provided correspondence, date stamped by the City on April 28, 2021,
which indicated that the properties do not have water rights within the New Dry Creek Ditch
Company. Based upon the limitations expressed by the New Union Ditch Company, staff
recommends affirming that sufficient information exists to meet the conditions of a waiver
request based on Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-9 (C)(2)(b). A pressurized irrigation waiver
request may be granted since the irrigation purveyor cannot deliver surface water to the site.
• The preliminary plat shows Lots 4 and 6, Block 1,taking access through common area Lot 5,
Block 1, and Lots 8 and 10, Block 1, taking access through common area Lot 9, Block 1. The
notes contained within the preliminary plat do not address ingress/egress access easements
within the common lots to provide access to the residential lots. Also, the applicant has
calculated the common lots into the required open space. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section
9-1-6, "Open Space" is defined as a common area platted as a separate lot (except for the
portion of the 8 foot wide landscape strip located adjacent to and within the public right of
way of a local street) substantially open to the sky, exclusive of streets, commercial and
residential buildings, and shall be designated and intended as a usable and convenient
amenity for the residences of any proposed development. As proposed, the common lots
(Lots 5 and 9, Block 1) are being utilized as an emergency access turnaround and driveway
access to the adjacent residential lots, which is not in conformance with the definition of open
space regarding being designated and intended as a usable and convenient amenity for the
residents. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat with a new
plat note which states, "Lots 5 and 9, Block 1 are common lots which shall have a perpetual
easement for the right of ingress/egress for Lots 6 and 8, Block 1 respectively. The easement
runs with the land. A restrictive covenant for maintenance of the common lot cannot be
modified without the express written consent of the City. The revised preliminary plat should
be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application. The revised preliminary plat should
show Lots 4 and 10, Block 1, with direct access to East Syringa Lane (Private). The revised
preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• Note #2 of the preliminary plat states, "Potable water is to be provided by Eagle Water."The
property is currently located within the Suez Water of Idaho company's certificated service
area. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat with plat note#2
revised to state, "Potable water is to be provided by Suez Water of Idaho." The revised
preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a final plat application.
• Note #11 of the preliminary plat states, "Lots 1, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 14, Block Tare common lots
to be owned and maintained by the HOA for Cadenza Court Subdivision. Said lots are subject
to a blanket and permanent public utility and property drainage easement." Note 413 of the
preliminary plat states, "Public utilities are to be provided from the public utility providers
from joint trench adjacent to the public roads." Specific design criteria will be met during the
construction approval phase of this development."Note #13 is an informational note and not
a note which is typically required upon a plat. Also, the preliminary plat does not address the
required public utility and drainage easements located within the lots.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat with plat note #13
revised to state, "All lots are hereby designated as having a permanent easement for public
utilities and lot drainage as delineated on final plat. The easement shall not preclude the
construction of hard-surface driveways, walkways, landscape, parking, fencing or other non-
permanent structures. The revised preliminary plat should be provided prior to submittal of a
final plat application.

2. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed development agreement
in lieu of a PUD, and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed development
is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives
because:
a. That the proposed PUD is in the public interest, advances the general welfare of the community
and neighborhood, and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Cadenza Court Subdivision has been proposed for development in conformance with the Eagle
Comprehensive Plan and consistent with the requirements of Eagle City Code; and
b. That the development be designed, constructed, operated and maintained to be harmonious and
appropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and how
such use will not change the essential character of the same area.
The development is proposed to consist of single-family residential homes and will be designed
to complement the general vicinity and provide aesthetically pleasing architecture to enhance the
character of the area. The development is designed with similar density as the adjacent
subdivisions; therefore, the proposed subdivision will be harmonious with the adjacent
developments; and
c. That the development will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood uses.
Cadenza Court Subdivision is proposed to be developed in a manner harmonious with existing
and future residential uses in the immediate vicinity; and
d. That the development does not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and/or
conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by
reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors.
The development is planned for residential, similar to the character of the surrounding area. There
are no uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment, and/or conditions that will be detrimental
to the surrounding properties upon completion of the site work; and
e. That the development will be served adequately by essential public facilities such as highways,
streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer, and
schools.
Cadenza Court Subdivision will be served from South Parkinson Street. All central services are

facilities and services.
All public facilities and services are supplied by the developer and must be approved at the time
of installation and before acceptance by the Eagle Sewer District, Veolia Water (formerly known
