Direct Access: A minimum of thirty percent (30%) of all lots shall be designed to be adjacent
to, or at a minimum, have direct access to common area open space. The term "direct access"
means all building lots are to be located a maximum of two hundred fifty feet (250') away
from a pathway connecting to a common area open space lot. Building lots separated from
a common area open space lot by a local roadway shall be deemed to have achieved direct
access. The required planter strip located between the sidewalk and the street will not be
permitted to fulfill this requirement.
4. Ownership And Management Of Open Space:
a. Ownership Of Open Space: The applicant must identify the owner of the open space who
is responsible for maintaining the open space and facilities located thereon. If a
homeowners' association is the owner, membership in the association shall be mandatory
and automatic for all homeowners of the subdivision and their successors. If a

of, and insurance for, the open space and outlines the means by which such funding
will be obtained or provided;
(3) Provides that any changes to the plan be approved by the city council; and
(4) Provides for enforcement of the plan.
Temporary Maintenance By City; Corrective Action: In the event the party responsible
for maintenance of the open space fails to maintain all or any portion in reasonable order
and condition, the city of Eagle may assume temporary responsibility for its maintenance
and may enter the premises and take corrective action, including the provision of
extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance shall be charged to the owner,
homeowners' association, or to the individual property owners that make up the
homeowners' association, and may include administrative costs and penalties. Such costs
shall become a lien on all subdivision properties. The exercise by the city of Eagle of its
right to assume temporary maintenance responsibility to take corrective action shall not
relieve the property owner of their maintenance responsibility nor should it be construed
as the city assuming permanent responsibility for such maintenance. (Ord. 566, 5-15-
2007)
• Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-9(C): Pressurized Irrigation Facilities:
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
Page 9 of 20
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2016\Senora Creek Sub No 3 ccf docx
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 laws,
regulations, ordinances or resolutions, the more restrictive 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.
b. 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
Page 10 of 20
KAPlanning Dept\Eagle ApplicationASUBS\2016%enora Creek Sub No. 3 eddom
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 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 shall 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)
D. DISCUSSION:
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on September 9, 2016, shows 0.69 -acres of open
space (14.6% of the overall site). Eagle City Code Section 9-3-8(D) requires a minimum of
18% open space in the R-3 zone. The applicant is proposing to utilize the open space of the
existing Eagle Creek neighborhood (Senora Creek No. 1, Senora Creek No. 2, and Kathleen
Estates). As this is a re -subdivision of a buildable portion of Senora Creek Subdivision No. 2,
the proposed subdivision would increase the overall open space of the Eagle Creek
neighborhood. If the proposed lots were to become a part of the Eagle Creek Homeowner's
Association, the total open space for the area would be 11.94 -acres (19.1%). The applicant
should be required to provide approval from the Eagle Creek Homeowner's Association for the
proposed lots to be a part of the Eagle Creek Homeowner's Association or provide a revised
preliminary plat showing at least 18% of the site as open space prior to the submittal of a design
review application.
The applicant is proposing to extend the pressurized irrigation system owned by the Eagle
Creek Homeowner's Association into the proposed subdivision. The applicant should be
required to provide approval from the Eagle Creek Homeowner's Association for the proposed
lots to be a part of the Eagle Creek Homeowner's Association, provide an executed Pressurized
Irrigation Operation and Maintenance Agreement between Eagle Creek Homeowner's
Association and Senora Creek Subdivision No. 3, or provide a revised preliminary plat showing
an independently operated pressurized irrigation system for Senora Creek Subdivision No. 3
prior to submittal of a design review application.
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the city on September 9, 2016, shows North Prickly Pear
Drive to connect from the stub of West Prickly Pear Drive located within Senora Creek
Subdivision No. 2 to North Park Lane. In the context of the proposed subdivision, this would
be a minor street that is not designed to discourage cut -through traffic. Currently the only access
point to North Park Lane from the Eagle Creek area is West Cardon Street. It is staff's opinion
that in the context of the Eagle Creek area, a second access point to North Park Lane would
disperse through traffic.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval of the requested rezone
and preliminary plat with site specific conditions of approval and standard conditions of approval provided
within the staff report.
PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION:
A. A public hearing on the applications was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on October
17, 2016, at which time testimony was taken and the public hearing was closed. The Commission made
their recommendation at that time.
B. Oral testimony in favor of the applications was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by
seven (7) individuals (not including the applicant/ representative) who indicated:
• The individuals felt that the proposed design would improve traffic conditions on West Cardon
Street.
• The proposed development would improve the aesthetics of the site.
• The number of curves and location of restaurants in proximity to the proposed development would
deter cut -through traffic from Eagle High School.
C. Oral testimony in opposition to the applications was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission
by seven (7) individuals who indicated:
• The proposed design will cause traffic problems similar to those experienced on West Cardon
Street.
• The proposed design will lead to problems for vehicles attempting to cross North Park Lane.
• The proposed subdivision will lead to increased congestion at the intersection of North Park Lane
and State Highway 44.
• The proposed subdivision will lead to increased congestion in the shared common areas.
D. Oral testimony neither in favor of nor in opposition to the applications was presented to the Planning
& Zoning Commission by two (2) individuals. The individuals felt that the proposed design would lead
to cut -through traffic in the northern portion of the subdivision, that the intersection of North Park Lane
and State Highway 44 needs to be widened, and that the proposed subdivision should be allowed to
join the existing Eagle Creek Homeowners Association.
COMMISSION DELIBERATION: (Granicus time 1:43:02)
Upon closing the public hearing, the Commission discussed during deliberation that:
The commission was understanding of both sides of the traffic issues.
The commission felt that it was most appropriate to follow the advice of planning staff from the City
of Eagle and ACRD.
Traffic calming measures would not be detrimental to the proposed development.
