D. DISCUSSION:
• The development agreement associated with the site identifies "Office, medical and dental" as a
permitted use.
• The landscape plan identifies three (3) — 5 -foot to 6 -foot tall Skyrocket Junipers located north of
the proposed shed. Eagle City Code Section 8 -2A -7(E) requires evergreen trees to be a minimum
of 6 -foot to 7 -foot tall. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan
showing the Skyrocket Juniper trees to be a minimum of 6 -foot to 7 -foot tall. The revised
landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.

Page 8 of 14
K:\Planntng Dept\Iiaglc Applications\Dr\2018\DR-02-l8 Medical Office Bldg in Ashbury BP No. I drl.docx

showing all shrubs relocated outside of the stairwell. The revised landscape plan should be

• The landscape plan identifies drainage swales located to the east and south of the building;
however, the plan does not identify the specific landscape material (i.e. grass, rocks, etc.), to be

revised landscape plan that identifies the specific material (i.e. grass, rocks, etc.) to be used in the
construction of the drainage swales for review and approval by staff and one member of the
Design Review Board prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
• The landscape plan does not identify a proposed ground cover where the batting cages are located
north of the building. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan
showing the type of proposed ground cover. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board.
• The applicant's justification letter states that architectural style of the building is "English
Cottage" which is one of the nine architectural styles within the Eagle Architecture and Site
Design Book. In addition, the justification letter states that the building was designed to match the
architectural style of the office building located on Lot 2, Block 1, within Ashbury Business Park
Subdivision No. 1. Staff defers comment regarding building design, colors, and commercial
landscaping to the Design Review Board.
