STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT (based on the final plat, date
stamped by the City on June 19, 2018) :
• The City Engineer and Planning staff have reviewed the final development plan and final plat. The final
development plan and final plat show that the configuration of lots deviates from the preliminary
development plan and preliminary plat; however, the number of lots and minimum lot sizes are in
conformance with the preliminary plat approval.

• Plat note #1 of the final plat states, "A fifteen and on half (15.50) foot wide permanent public utilities
easement is hereby designated along all lot lines common to a public right-of-way as shown. A twelve
(12) foot wide public utilities easement is hereby designated along all rear lot lines and the exterior
subdivision boundary line unless dimensioned otherwise. A five (6) foot wide public utilities easement
is hereby designated along each side of interior lot lines. The above easements are as shown on this
plat.
The plat note does not reference the required drainage way easements nor does it reference irrigation
easements for the pressurized irrigation system, required pursuant to Eagle City Code and the approved
preliminary plat. Also, the plat note references a side public utilities easement of five (6) feet. The
number following the word five should be changed to 5. The applicant should provide a revised final
plat with plat note #1 revised to state, "A fifteen and on half (15.50) foot wide permanent public utilities
easement is hereby designated along all lot lines common to a public right-of-way as shown. A twelve
(12) foot wide public utilities, drainageway and pressurized irrigation easement is hereby designated
along all rear lot lines and the exterior subdivision boundary line unless dimensioned otherwise. A five
(5) foot wide public utilities, drainageway, and pressurized irrigation easement is hereby designated
along each side of interior lot lines. The above easements are as shown on this plat." The revised final
plat should be provided prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
• Plat note #9 of the final plat states, "Direct lot or parcel access to W. Floating Feather Road and N.
Lanewood Road is prohibited."
The proposed phase is not located adjacent to N. Lanewood Road. Site Specific Condition of Approval
#13 of the preliminary plat required the applicant to provide a revised preliminary plat with the plat
note revised to state, "Vehicular access to lots along N. Linder Road and W. Floating Feather Road is
prohibited unless specifically allowed by the Ada County Highway District and the City of Eagle." The
applicant should be required to provide a revised final plat with plat note #9 revised to state, "Vehicular
access to lots along N. Linder Road and W. Floating Feather Road is prohibited unless specifically
allowed by the Ada County Highway District and the City of Eagle." The revised final plat should be
provided prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
• The final plat does not contain a plat note in regard to the development agreement associated with the
rezone for the development. The applicant should provide a revised final plat with a new plat note
which states, "This development is subject to the terms of the development agreement recorded as
instrument #2016-008962, and any subsequent modifications." The revised final plat should be
provided prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
• It is staff's opinion that the final development plan can meet the Findings of Fact required in Eagle City
Code Section 8-6-6-3(B) with the conditions recommended herein and that the final plat will be in
substantial compliance with the preliminary plat pursuant to the conditions herein.
