approval for Two Rivers Subdivision No. 10, a 32 -lot (24 -buildable, 7 -common, 1 -private road)

City Council Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law dated April 27, 1999, are incorporated herein
by reference.
D. FINDINGS OF FACT REQUIRED BY EAGLE CITY CODE SECTION 8-6-6-3 B:
The Commission shall find that the facts submitted with the application and presented to them
establish that:
1. The proposed development can be initiated within one year of the date of approval;
2. Each individual unit of the development, as well as the total development, can exist as an
independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability or
that adequate assurance will be provided that such objective will be attained and the uses
proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a
beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard district regulations;
3. The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic,
and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street
network outside the PUD;
4. Any proposed commercial development can be justified at the locations proposed;
5. Any exception from standard district requirements is warranted by the design and other
amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accordance with the PUD and the

substantial compatibility with the proposed development;

8. The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the population densities and
nonresidential uses proposed.
E. FINDINGS OF FACT REQUIRED BY EAGLE CITY CODE SECTION 8-6-6-3 (C):
Upon granting or denying the application, the Council shall specify:
1. The ordinance and standards used in evaluating the application;
2. The reasons for approval or denial; and
3. The actions, if any, that the applicant could take to obtain a permit.
STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
Planning staff and the City Engineer have reviewed the final development plan and final plat. This
phase differs from the original preliminary development plan in street configuration and lot
quantity. The previously designed "loop" road (known as South Islander Lane) is no longer a
continuous circle; it now terminates in a cul-de-sac, resulting in less roadway (private) to construct
and maintain. In addition, there is a reduction of two (2) building lots from that previously
approved with the preliminary development plan. Considering these changes, it is staff's opinion
that this tenth phase of the final development plan can meet the Findings of Fact required in Eagle
City Code Section 8-6-6-3 B and C (as noted herein) with the conditions recommended herein and
that the phase ten fmal plat will be in substantial compliance with the preliminary plat with the
conditions herein.
REVIEW BY THE COMMISSION:
A review by the Planning and Zoning Commission was completed on March 1, 2004. The
Commission made their recommendation at that time. The Commission determined that this phase
ten final development plan and final plat is in substantial compliance with the Quarter Circle
Ranch PUD. The minutes are incorporated herein by reference.
COMMISSION DECISION:
The Commission voted 4 to 0 (Deckers absent) to recommend approval of FPUD-1-04 & FP -1-04
for a final development plan and final plat approval for Two Rivers Subdivision No. 10 with the
staff recommended site specific conditions of approval shown within their Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law document, March 15, 2004.
REVIEW BY THE COUNCIL:
A review by the City Council was completed on March 23, 2004. The Council made their
decision at that time. The minutes are incorporated herein by reference.

proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a
beneficial effect which would not be achieved under standard district regulations because of
the conditions placed on this development;
