DISCUSSION: • On November 10, 2016, the Eagle Design Review Board approved a design review application for a multi -tenant retail/restaurant building with drive-through on this site (DR -61-16). The site, landscaping, and building are to be constructed as approved with the exception of the trellis that was proposed on the east side of the building. A stand alone trellis was approved to be constructed on the east building elevation over the outdoor patio area. The applicant is requesting approval to have the option to construct the trellis or not. The applicant's justification letter states the trellis was proposed over the patio area to provide shade but as the building has been constructed, they believe the patio will be in the shade most of the day; thus, the need for a trellis for shade is not needed. While the trellis was not attached to the building, it did provide dimension and architectural relief to the east building elevation. Staff defers comment regarding the deletion of the trellis to the Design Review Board. STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE REPORT: Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff defers comment regarding the trellis being removed to the Design Review Board. If the Design Review Board recommends approval of the application, staff recommends the application be approved 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 January 11, 2018, at which time the Board made their decision. B. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the Design Review Board by no one.

Oral testimony in favor of the application was presented to the Design Review Board by no one (not including the applicant/representative). BOARD DELIBERATION: (Granicus time 27:14) Upon completion of the applicant's and staff's presentations, the Board discussed during deliberation that: • The Board supports the elimination of the trellis if plant material that will reach varying heights at maturity is planted in the landscape areas on the south and east sides of the patio area. • The Board affirms a significant piece of architecture is eliminated from the building with the removal of the trellis on the east building elevation. • The Board is in favor of the trellis being built if the applicant decides there is a need to provide shade for the outdoor patio area in the future.
