Mr. Hull indicates there is no development to the east at this time.
Jeff Lowe, City Staff, presents staff report and recommends approval. Site is zoned C-2,
general business district, and meets requirements of Eagle City Code. He took a
conservative approach on the site specific conditions, but since the ditch is not physically
located on the subject site, he agrees that #3 can be deleted. Conditions #9 and #11 still
need to be satisfied with Drainage District #2.
Deckers asks if maximum development is addressed in the conceptual plan.
Staff answers that it may be too restrictive. As site is developed, natural restrictions will
kick in, i.e. parking, etc.
Public Testimony:
Jim Brooks, President of Pacific Heights Subdivision Homeowners Association. His
subdivision is directly across the street and they are concerned about traffic control as it
relates to the entrance east of Hill Road. Mr. Brooks also mentioned the "eye sore" to the
east of the proposed development, and if the developer has ideas to "shame" the property
owner into improving aesthetics.
Deckers answers that some people are "shameless" and this application cannot be held
accountable for neighboring property. He indicates that we can address the issue with
staff after the public hearing.
Marks asks Mr. Brooks what type of facilities he would like to see in the development.
Mr. Brooks answers that a high-scale restaurant on this side of Hwy. 44 would be nice,
also light professional or commercial. He would not favor any high-density residential.
Mr. Hull on rebuttal responding to access location: Applicant has already moved entrance
to the south, on ACHD recommendation, so that it would not interfere with Pacific
Heights Subdivision entrance.
Deckers asks about maximum building size and if developer would oppose restrictions.
Mr. Hull indicates that he would need to discuss with applicant.
Bandy closes the public hearing.
Bandy asks if C-2 zone had building size restrictions.
Staff indicates that maximum building lot coverage is 92%, 10% minimum open space,
plus required parking.
Deckers likes conceptual layout and smaller buildings. Suggests a maximum building size
and asks that applicant look into prior to Council approval.
Bandy indicates 18,000 sf should be maximum.
Marks has residential concerns of neighbors and how the residents will be served by this
development; Winding Creek to the West, condominiums to the North, could present a lot
of foot traffic.
Lien indicates that homeowners in the area may have purchased their property specifically
because it is close to downtown and commercial amenities.
Deckers indicates that retail and restaurant are appropriate for C-2 and limiting
commercial would be too restrictive.
Marks reiterates his concerns for the record.
Deckers asks Staff about cross-access.

in the event that future uses are compatible.
