Open Space:
A total of 2.35 -acres of open space (inclusive of planter strips) is provided within the residential
subdivision. The common areas are proposed to contain the required buffer areas adjacent to North

Morgan Creek Street and adjacent to West Charles Court. There is also an open space lot (Lot 17, Block
1) located between the lot containing the existing dwelling unit (Lot 11, Block 1) and the southern
boundary. The preliminary engineering plan, date stamped by the City on May 22, 2018, shows a 5 -
foot wide sidewalk located within this lot.
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
Specific drainage system plans are to be submitted to the City Engineer for review and approval prior

Base densities may be reduced or units may be clustered to increase open space within a portion of a
site when property is in this overlay. Neighborhood design will be paramount in this overlay to ensure
appropriate transition between uses. See specific planning areas for further description.
6.6.1 Village Planning Area Uses/Design
b. Densities should decrease as distance increases from the Village Center. The overall densities in
the Village Planning Area and in the Neighborhood Residential designation, south of Beacon Light

should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to approval of the final plat application.
• The landscape plan shows solid fencing adjacent to Lot 10 and 12, Block 1, which are common
areas. Eagle City Code Section 9-3-10 and preliminary development plan and preliminary plat
site specific condition No. 5 requires open style fencing adjacent to common area open space.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing opening style
fencing adjacent to Lots 10 and 12, Block 1. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and
approved by staff prior to approval of' the final plat application.
• The landscape plan shows a planter in the center of the cul-de-sac with a streetlight; however. no

sidewalk, and street trees. The approved preliminary plat required a stub street to Lot 11, Block 1,
which is not reflected on the landscape plan. The applicant should be required to provide a
revisal landscape plan showing a stub street to Lot 11, Block 1, as indicated on the preliminary
development plan and preliminary plat and remove the sidewalk, street trees, and solid fencing
shown in that location. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and
