• The applicant is requesting design review approval for the common area landscaping within
Kingswood Subdivision, a 87-lot (74-buildable, 13-comm) residential planned unit development.
The common area consists of street trees, buffer along North Linder Road,pickleball court,picnic
shelter, benches, and pathways. Staff defers comment regarding the common area landscaping to
the Design Review Board.
• The picnic shelter is proposed to have a metal roof. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-
(B)(2)(e), metal roofing is required to have concealed fasteners. The applicant should be required
to provide a revised picnic shelter elevation showing the metal roofing to have concealed fasteners.
The revised elevation should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.
• The fencing plan shows a vinyl fence located at the southeast corner of the site along the shared
property line located at 2001 North Linder Road.Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-6(B)(3)states that
vinyl fencing may be permitted if the City determines that the style of the fence proposed is
complementary to the overall site design.Preliminary plat site specific condition no. 24 states that
the applicant is required to install a decorative style privacy fence along the share property line
located at 2001 North Linder.Staff defers comment regarding the vinyl fence to the Design Review

• The landscape plan shows the buffer area adjacent to North Linder Road to be planted with 62
evergreen trees;however, 81 evergreen trees are required. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-
2A-7(J)(4)(b),four evergreen trees are required to be planted every 100-linear foot of frontage.The
applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing an additional 19
evergreen trees located within the 50-foot wide buffer area along North Linder Road. The revised
landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to submittal of a final plat
application.
• The landscape plan shows an 8-foot wide parkway strip along North Linder Road planted with sod
and no street trees. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(M), street trees are required to be
installed every 35-feet (minimum) to 80-feet (maximum). The applicant should be required to
provide a revised landscape plan showing street trees along North Linder Road spaced every 35 to
80-feet apart. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to
submittal of the final plat application.
• The detailed streetlight cutsheets show the LED illumination proposed to be 4000K.Additionally,
the cutsheets did not address the height of the pole. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-2,
LED illumination is permitted to be a maximum of 3000K. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised lighting cutsheet showing the streetlight illumination to be a maximum of 3000K
and provide the height of the pole. The revised cutsheet should be reviewed and approved by staff
prior to submittal of the final plat application.
• The landscape plan shows trees located south of the 10-foot wide natural surface pathway(south
side of the canal). The transmittal response from Drainage District No. 2 states that no trees are
approved within the District's easement. It is unclear if the proposed trees are located within the
100-foot wide easement area.The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan
showing the location of the drainage easement and remove any trees proposed within the area.The
revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to submittal of a final plat
application.
