Board discussion. Ms. Martin speaks again.
McCullough moves to approve DR-83-08 - Convert a Residential Dwelling into an
Art Studio and Gallery with the site specific and standard conditions of approval
with the following modifications:
Strike site specific condition #2 completely and replace with the east elevation as
presented by the applicant is accepted by the Design Review Board for meeting the
minimum glass requirements.
Strike site specific condition #3 completely.
Add to site specific condition #5, in the second line just before tree grates, should
read as well as planting the street trees within tree wells with the standard City of
Eagle tree grates, the rest can be left.
Site specific condition #12: The front parking lot should be eliminated and a new
landscape plan will be provided encouraging more landscaping, paver patios, a
paver entrance, all to create a more inviting pedestrian feel, to be approved by staff
and one member of the Design Review Board.
Site specific condition #13: All patios will be limited to brick pavers or concrete
pavers.
Site specific condition #14: A cut sheet will be provided for the door to be installed,
to be approved by staff and one member of the Design Review Board.
Site specific condition #15: The suggestions provided by the arborist will be
introduced as a site specific condition with the modifications as follows:
Leave suggestions #1. Strike suggestion #2, strike #3, leave #4, 5 and 6 and 7. Strike
#8, leave 9, strike #10. Those should be introduced into the site specific conditions.
Seconded by Grubb. Further discussion.
Butler would like to propose to amend the motion, a couple of things might need a
tad bit of discussion, amending the motion back to site specific condition #1, we had
said we didn't think it was within our jurisdiction to tell these people to connect to
Eagle Water Company or what to do with the well, there is a standard condition
that says comply with Central District Health, so they have that compliance
required anyway, I would recommend item #1 be striken in my amendments. Site
specific condition #5, I would add after sidewalk improvements, in vertical curb if
feasible and if approved by ACHD. Condition #15, in regard to arborist letter, you
pulled in all of the recommendation #4, I would recommend eliminating any sections
that talk about how staff or Design Review Board can levy fines, that fines are
already outlined in Eagle City Code and it's not left to Design Review Board or staff
to figure out what fines will be.
Site specific condition #16: The applicant shall work with city staff to draft an
easement agreement for a future alley. The agreement shall include a 12 ft. wide
public use easement adjacent to and along the entire length of the property's west
2
boundary line. The agreement shall include a provision for land to be dedicated as
public right of way if a future jurisdictional authority requires the land to be public
right of way versus an easement. The purpose for the easement/right of way is for a
planned 24 ft. wide public alleyway extending from Mission Drive to the existing
east/west alley right of way approximately 90 feet south of this site, or to Idaho
street. Condition #13, to touch on what staff recommended and the applicant didn't
get a chance to address this, but underground utility service lines from the alley to
the home are to be buried. I would recommend that as a condition, but I would also
add that if exorbitant costs or difficulties are incurred, that this requirement may be
waived by staff and one Design Review Board member. The use shall be limited to
art studio/gallery as described in the application, specifically the applicants
justification letter for any other lower intensity use if approved by the City. I'm
gonna pass on the ADA space. That pretty much covers it, not as a condition, but
the Board recommends that the applicant work with the Landing when having
special events to coordinate shared parking and as a recommendation from the
Board, but not as a condition if the applicant can incorporate a water feature into
the front landscaping somehow, the Board thinks that's a good idea.
McCullough moves to modify my initial motion, strike site specific condition #1
completely. Modify site specific condition #15, where I included all of #4, which is
the suggestions from the arborist, strike #4 completely, and replace with the
Austrian Pine needs to have a city approved protection plan in place prior to
construction. The balance of modification to my original motion should be amended
with the verbiage provided by Member Butler, regarding condition #5 and 16.
Second concurs. ALL A YE...MOTION CARRIES. Discussion. Butler would like
if possible so that we don't have other people coming in here saying, they didn't put
a parking lot in, etc. that the findings have some specific information, quoting 8-2A-
3, quoting the fact that we are taking land from this applicant as a trade off, the
alley is not a requirement, based upon the impact of the property, it is for overall
good. Anything else you can get in there showing why we did not require it.
Further Board discussion. McCullough modifies motion strike site specific
condition #17 (showing 13) and replace with overhead utilities shall be required to
be installed underground at such time that the rear parking will be required for
future project. Second concurs. ALL AYE...MOTION CARRIES.

B. Staff: Discussion on banners and Council decision to let these go for a while,
trying to help out business. Next meeting discussion.
