Page 4 of 11 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\DA2016\DR-20-16 MOD Crestpoint Place Sub LS drf.docx Mixed Use Suitable primarily for a variety of uses such as limited office, limited commercial, and residential developments. Uses should complement uses within Downtown Eagle. Development within this land use designation should be required to proceed through the PUD and/or Development Agreement process, see specific planning area text for a complete description. An allowable density of up to 20 units per 1 acre. B. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: 3.6 The conditions, covenants and restrictions for the Property shall contain at least the following: (b) A requirement for all fencing located adjacent to open space to be open -style such as wrought iron, extruded aluminum (looks identical to wrought iron), or other similar decorative style fencing. All other fencing (i.e. cedar fencing, vinyl, chain link) shall be prohibited. The residential lot located adjacent to the commercial lots is permitted to have solid fencing located adjacent to the west property line and not to encroach into the front yard. 3.8 Owner shall submit a design review application showing the required thirty-five foot (35') wide buffer area located within a common lot adjacent to East Hill Road. The required thirty-five foot (35') wide buffer area located within a common lot adjacent to Edgewood Lane shall be reduced to twenty feet (20') in width and plantings that are typically required within a thirty-five foot (35') wide buffer area shall be reduced so that the twenty foot (20') wide buffer area is not over planted. Details shall be provided to the Design Review Board showing that the height of the berm located adjacent to Edgewood Lane will not create a water drainage impact to the building envelopes. The design review application shall be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to submittal of a final plat application. C. PRELIMINARY PLAT PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: • The developer shall provide shade -class trees (landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board) along both sides of all streets within this development. Trees shall be placed at the front of each lot generally at each side property line, or as approved by the Design Review Board.

A detailed landscape plan showing how the trees will be integrated into the open space areas or private lots (unless approved for removal the Design Review Board) shall be provided for Design Review Board approval prior to the submittal of a final plat. Construction fencing shall be installed (pursuant to the Design Review Board's direction) to protect all trees that are to be preserved, prior to the commencement of any construction on the site. D. ZONING CODE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: • Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -6(A)(5) Utilities: Page 5 of 11 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\20I6\DR-20-16 MOD Crestpoint Place Sub LS drf.docx Utility service systems shall not detract from building or site design. Cable, electrical, and telephone service systems shall be installed underground. E. DISCUSSION: • On April 28, 2016, the Eagle Design Review Board approved a design review application for the common area landscaping within Crestpoint Place Subdivision (DR -20-16). The Board approved the application with the requirement that all overhead powerlines, cable, and telephone service systems were to be installed underground for the entire frontage of this development along North Edgewood Lane. Based on correspondence with Idaho Power, the applicant is requesting design review approval to leave the overhead power lines above ground as this is a three phase line which is a main trunk line for this area. Dave Boots with Idaho Power indicated it has never been Idaho Power's policy to build an overhead line, bury a section of line and then go back up a pole and continue on with overhead power. He also states it is very cost prohibitive for individual customers who have overhead service from the overhead lines that would have to convert their existing equipment to accommodate underground power. Staff defers comment regarding the overhead power to the Design Review Board. The revised landscape plan, date stamped by the city on March 17, 2017, shows the overhead power to remain and Class I trees to be planted within the berm and within the planter strip along North Edgewood Lane. The species of trees proposed within the buffer area along North Edgewood Lane include the following: Red Rhapsody Amur Maple, Spring Snow Crabapple, Jack Pear, Black Hills Spruce, and Bacheri Spruce. The quantity of plant material proposed within the berm is the same as that which was approved in the previous approval and the landscape plan shows the required street trees within the planter strip along North Edgewood Lane. Staff defers comment regarding the proposed plant material to the Design Review Board. • The landscape plan, date stamped by the city on March 16, 2016, submitted with the previous design review application (DR -20-16) showed a 6 -foot high vinyl fence to be located adjacent to the landscape buffers along North Edgewood Lane, East Hill Road, and the common lot with the pathway leading from North Edgewood Lane to the internal street. The landscape plan, date stamped by the city on March 17, 2017, still shows a 6 -foot high vinyl fence to be located adjacent to the landscape buffers along North Edgewood Lane, East Hill Road, and the common lot with the pathway leading from North Edgewood Lane to the internal street. Pursuant to the development agreement, all fencing located adjacent to open space is required to be open -style such as wrought iron, extruded aluminum (looks identical to wrought iron), or other similar decorative style fencing. All other fencing (i.e.: cedar fencing, vinyl, and chainlink) shall be prohibited. The residential lot located adjacent to the commercial lot is permitted to have solid fencing located adjacent to the west property line and not to encroach into the front yard. The applicant should be required to provide revised landscape plans showing all fencing located adjacent to any open space to be an open style fence. Provide detailed elevations showing the style, height, color, material, etc. The revised landscape plan and detailed elevations should be reviewed and approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board prior to the issuance of any building permit. 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 April 27, 2017, 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.
