City Council Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law dated February 26, 2013, are incorporated
herein by reference.
E. FINDINGS OF FACT REQUIRED BY EAGLE CITY CODE SECTION 8-6-6-3 (B):
The Council shall find that the facts submitted with the application and presented to them establish
that:
The ordinance and standards used in evaluating the application;
1. The facts submitted with the application and presented to them establish that:
2. The proposed development can be initiated within one year of the date of approval;
a. Each individual phase of the development, as well as the total development, can exist as an
independent phase capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability or
that adequate assurance will be provided that such objective will be attained and the uses
proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a
beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard district regulations;
b. The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic,
and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street
network outside the PUD;
c. Any proposed commercial development can be justified at the locations proposed;
d. Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other
amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the
adopted policy of the council;
e. The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and
substantial compatibility with the proposed development;
f. The PUD is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan;
g. The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the population densities and
nonresidential uses proposed;
h. The actions, if any, that the applicant could take to obtain a permit.
STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
• Pursuant to the preliminary plat site specific condition of approval #18, the applicant is required to
provide a revised preliminary plat with a plat note indicating that the front and rear public utility,
drainage, and pressurized irrigation easements are no less than 12 -feet in width. Pages 2 and 3 of the
final plat, date stamped by the City on July 3, 2018, shows the easement located adjacent to the rear lot

K:1Planning Dept\Eagle ApplicatiomASUBS120181Mace River Ranch Sub No. 6 fp & fpud ccf.doc
lines at 10 -feet in width. The applicant should be required to provide a revised final plat delineating
and identifying the rear lot line easement at 12 -feet in width. The revised final plat should be provided
prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
• Plat notes #1 and #2, of the final plat date stamped by the City on July 3, 2018, are duplicative since
they both address maintenance of the common lots located within the subdivision. Since plat note #1
refences the specific lots and blocks of the common lots, the applicant should be required to remove
plat note #2. The applicant should be required to provide a revised final plat with plat note #2
(referencing the maintenance of the common lots) removed prior to the City Clerk signing the final
plat.
• Plat note #14 of the final plat, date stamped by the City on July 3, 2018, states, "Direct lot access to W.
Mace Road is not allowed." The applicant should provide a revised final plat with plat note #14
revised to state, "Direct lot access to W. Mace Road is prohibited." The revised final plat should be
provided prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
• The City Engineer and Planning staff have reviewed the final plat. It is staff's opinion that the final
plat is in substantial compliance with the preliminary plat, pursuant to compliance with the conditions
herein.

plat with the conditions of approval provided within the staff report.

the testimony and documentation presented by the developer;
2. Each individual unit of the development, as well as the total development, will exist as an
independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability or that
adequate assurance can be provided that such objective will be attained and the uses will not be
detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which
would not be achieved under standard district regulations because of the conditions placed on this
development;
3. The streets and thoroughfares to be constructed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated
traffic, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street
network outside the PUD;
4. No commercial development is proposed;

5. Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other amenities
incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the adopted policy of
the Council because the varied lot sizes, setbacks and uses as specifically approved by the City will
allow for a mix of housing types and uses in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan;
6. The area surrounding said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial
compatibility with the proposed development since no intensive uses, that might impact the
planned residential areas surrounding the development, are proposed;
