Re: Mace River Ranch Subdivision - Rezone/PUD/Preliminary Plat and Design
Review Considerations
Dear Ms. Cerda and Mr. Williams:
On behalf of Mace River Ranch LLC, we are providing the following additional
analysis of the elements related to the Planned Unit Development application for Mace
River Ranch Subdivision. We appreciate your assistance and work on this matter. We
will bring complete copies of this document to the Design Review Meeting tonight.
Electronic versions of the exhibits are transmitted herewith and hard copies will be
provided tonight as well.
We wanted to follow up with both of you regarding certain a few items that we
feel need greater clarification subsequent to the Action of the Eagle Planning and
Zoning Commission's action on our applications that on Monday, January 7, 2012 that
impact Mace River Ranch's design review application. Following the Commission's
action, as we take into consideration direction from the Commission as well as the
public, there are certain design elements of the Mace River Ranch plan that we want to
clarify and address in more detail.
1. Because of public confusion over the nature of this park (it was intended
to be retained in its natural condition), as well as concerns expressed by the
Commission regarding the timing for closing the intersection, the desirability of the park,
Mike Williams and Barb Cerda
January 10, 2013
Page 2
and public safety, at this time we believe that it is best to remove this component from
the initial phase of development. This park site was always intended to be retained in
its natural condition and it will in fact be so retained, so we can revisit this issue at a
later date in a subsequent phase application. Mace River Ranch will be submitting a
revised landscaped plan that shows the removal of the park and parking area at the
location of the existing Mace Road/Eagle Road intersection. This will be consistent with
the depiction in Exhibit A. Mace River Ranch will construct the greenbelt pathway at
this point and make the connection to the existing greenbelt at Eagle Road as part of its
initial phase of development.
2. Additionally, Mace Road will be obliterated and access eliminated as part
of Phase 1. That is in fact depicted on the preliminary plat, but to avoid any confusion
and to address the concerns raised by members of the Commission, it will not be
utilized for construction access and will be eliminated as soon as reasonably
appropriate in undertaking site work for Mace River Ranch.
3. There was also some confusion as to the timing of the development of the
proposed pathway, parkway, greenbelt and habitat area on Lot 1, Block 1. The ultimate
design of this area is as depicted on Exhibit B. However, based upon discussion
before the Commission, it is clear that we will need to provide a phasing plan for the
ultimate completion of this area. Prior to the hearing before the City Council, we will
provide a revised phasing plan and this Lot will actually be platted as multiple common
Tots tied to those phases.
4. In its conditions of approval, the Commission recommended that Mace
River Ranch be permitted to utilize 2 inch caliper trees as opposed to the 3 inch caliper
trees required under the Eagle City Code. We are in agreement with this proposed
recommendation and would ask the Design Review Board to agree with this
recommended modification. We propose the following condition:
Applicant shall provide revised landscape
plans showing the use of 2 inch caliper shade
trees.
5. Additionally, Mace River Ranch has proposed a twenty foot wide
landscape buffer adjacent to the north side of Mace Road. Mace River Ranch
recognizes that current Eagle City Code requires a thirty five foot wide landscape buffer.
Mace River Ranch has proposed this due to the fact that (a) the existing landscape
Mike Williams and Barb Cerda
January 10, 2013
Page 3
buffer to the south constructed by Two Rivers is in fact twenty feet wide and (b) due to
the fact that ACHD's right of way requirements for a collector provide for a significant
additional area for detached sidewalks and planting strip behind the edge of the curb or
edge of the pavement. The proposed section is set forth in Exhibit C.
Mace River Ranch proposes that the Design Review Board adopt one of the
following alternative conditions in lieu of the first sentence of Site Specific Condition 2:
Applicant shall provide a revised landscape
plan showing a twenty foot (20') foot wide
landscaped buffer adjacent to the edge of the
ACHD right of way along the length of Mace
Road.
or
Applicant shall provide a revised landscape
plan showing a thirty five (35') foot wide
landscaped buffer adjacent to the edge of
pavement along the length of Mace Road, and
shall grant ACHD such easement as may be
necessary over that buffer lot for sidewalks,
drainage areas, or other facilities located that
would typically be located within ACHD's right
of way.
Please let either myself or Scott Wonders know if you require anything further.
Sincerely,
HAWLEY TROXELL ENNIS & HAWLEY LLP
