E. DISCUSSION (based on the preliminary plat and development plan, date stamped by the city on
August 21, 2017):
• The proposed Snoqualmie River Subdivision is located within the Legacy development. The
Legacy development was approved with a development agreement (RZ-13-05) and a planned
unit development. The executed development agreement established the maximum density,
required setbacks, and design standards for the development. The executed development
agreement modification (Instrument No. 113024773) contains a Legacy Master Plan (Exhibit
"B") with a bubble plan identifying approximate sizing and number of lots within specific
areas of the development and park areas. The Legacy Master Plan designates the areas within
this proposed subdivision as approximately 61 residential lots consisting of the following lot
types: 14 patio lots (5,000 — 8,000 square feet), 16 custom lots (8,000 — 12,000 square feet),
and 31 estate lots (12,000+ square feet) respectively. The Snoqualmie River Subdivision
preliminary plat consists of 70 residential lots inclusive of 38 patio lots and 32 custom lots.
Page 12 of 23
K:UPlannmg Dept 4.1: Appb[alin\Preliminary Devolopmmi Plani?,tl^'•.Snoqualmie Rncr Sub cel dm.
There are no estate Tots proposed within this phase of the development.
While the preliminary plat does not include any estate lots, the applicant's narrative includes a
spreadsheet of entitled lots to date which indicates that the overall site has 21 estate lots
remaining to meet the minimum number required throughout the Legacy development. The
overall development has 330 patio lots remaining to reach the minimum. A maximum of 625
lots are yet to be entitled within the Legacy development. Condition of development 3.1 of the
development agreement associated with the site indicates that the bubble plan is a guide and
that significant flexibility is granted in the overall layout of the development so long as the
quantities of the various lot sizes are consistent with the Concept Plan.
• The preliminary plat shows 7 -common lots (Lots 1 and 38, Block 1, Lots 1 and 14, Block 2,
and Lots 1, 5, and 17, Block 3) located between the street and buildable lots. The applicant
should provide a revised preliminary plat and development plan with a new plat note that
states, "Driveways are prohibited across Lots 1 and 38, Block 1, Lots 1 and 14, Block 2, and
Lots 1, 5, and 17, Block 3." The revised preliminary plat and development plan should be
provided prior to submittal of the final development plan and final plat applications.
• The preliminary plat and development plan shows a ten -foot (10') wide pedestrian pathway
not aligned with the pathway shown within Snoqualmie Falls Subdivision No. 9. Additionally,
the pathway is not accessible from the interior of the subdivision. The applicant should
provide a revised preliminary plat and development plan showing the pathway aligning with
the pathway shown within Snoqualmie Falls Subdivision No. 9 and showing pathway
connections from Lots 21 and 32, Block 1. Plat note #8 should be modified to indicate that
Lots 21 and 32, Block 1 will provide pathway access. The required landscape buffer adjacent
to North Palmer Lane may be modified as needed to accommodate the pathway alignment.
The revised preliminary plat and development plan should be provided prior to the submittal
of a design review application.
• The preliminary plat and development plan does not show any easements associated with the
Middleton Mill Canal. The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat
and development plan showing an easement for the Middleton Mill Ditch and new separate
plat notes identifying the lot(s) and block(s) associated with the easement and/or license
agreements associated with Middleton Mill Ditch Company. The revised preliminary plat and
development plan should be provided prior to submittal of the final development plan/final
plat applications.
• The proposed development is a portion of the Legacy development. The Legacy
development is controlled by a community charter which contains the development's CC&Rs.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat and development plan
with a new plat note which states, "This subdivision is subject to the terms and conditions of
the Community Charter for Legacy, Instrument No. 108048693 and any subsequent
modifications." The revised preliminary plat and development plan should be provided prior to
submittal of the final development plan/final plat applications.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed conditional use permit,
preliminary development plan, and preliminary plat (CU-08-17/PPUD-04-17/PP-04-17) 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.
Snoqualmie River Subdivision has been proposed for development in conformance with the
Eagle Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the requirements of Eagle City Code, and in
conformance with the executed development agreement associated with the site; 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 Snoqualmie River Subdivision is designed to be harmonious with the Legacy
development of which it is a part and designed to be in conformance with the executed
development agreement associated with the site; and
Page 20 of 23
K:U'Ianning DcptU;aglc AppIcationsll'relimmary l)enelopment Plans\201TSnoqualmie Ri,er Sub ccldoc
c. That the development will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future neighborhood
uses.
Snoqualmie River Subdivision is proposed to be developed in a manner harmonious with
existing and future 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. It
is not anticipated that any uses or activities will be detrimental to the surrounding properties
upon completion of the site work. Snoqualmie River Subdivision will be served by North
Palmer Lane (designated as a collector) and an internal street network located within the
Legacy development; 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.
All central services are available to be extended to the site, as noted within the letters provided
by the agencies having jurisdiction over the site. Development of sewer, water, drainage,
streets and other urban services will be provided at the developer's expense; and
f. That the development will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for
public 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 sewer, City of Eagle Water Department, or
highway district; and
That the development is provided with parks, ponds, open areas, areas of special interest,
floodplain preservation, and/or other special features which would not typically be provided in
a non -PUD proposal.
This development plan is part of a larger development plan that is designed with consideration
given to open space, ponds, recreational amenities (i.e. golf course, soccer fields, tennis courts,
and pedestrian pathways); and
