C. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a 2,901-square foot building
addition the Banbury Golf Course Clubhouse. The building addition is for an indoor golf simulator,
the addition of an outdoor patio area, and to add a new 10th tee box. The original building was
approved and built prior to the Eagle Architecture and Site Design Book; however, in the
applicant's opinion the architectural style most closely represents the Prairie School style. The
architectural style, materials, and colors to be used on the exterior of the building addition will
match those used on the existing building.
The proposed buildings should be designed to be harmonious with buildings in the surrounding
vicinity. Pursuant to Eagle City Code 8-2A-13(B)(2)(d)&(e), the proposed building should be
designed to not interfere with the visual character, quality or appearance of the surrounding area
and City, and where possible, enhance the continuity of thematically common architectural
features, and will have facades, features, and other physical improvements that are designed as a
whole, when viewed alone as well as in relationship to surrounding buildings and settings. Staff
defers comment of the proposed building regarding the harmonious nature and relationship of the
building to the surrounding vicinity to the Design Review Board.
• There are numerous trees located throughout the site (entire golf course). All the trees are to be
retained with the exception of 18 trees that are located within or close proximity to the location of
the new building addition. The trees to be removed are 6-River Birch (multi-stem), 1-Pine, 6-
Spruce, 4-Norway Spruce, and 1-Turkish Filbert. Pursuant to the arborist report, the River Birch
trees are in good condition;however,the evergreen trees are in poor condition due to the trees being
planted too close together,causing the trees to compete for space,some of the evergreen trees have
been topped,have poor structure,and have been planted too close to sidewalks, creating the lower
growth to be cut back for sidewalk clearance. The applicant is removing 150-caliper inches and
187-vertical feet of trees from this site. The applicant is proposing to mitigate for 20-caliper inches
by installing two Amur Maple trees, seven Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud trees and one Viridis
Page 8 of 17
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\1998\DR-42-98 MOD Banbury Golf Course Simulator Bldg Addition\Banbury Meadows Golf Simulator Building Addition Findings CC.docx
Japanese Maple tree all of which are proposed to be 2-inch caliper trees. Pursuant to Eagle City
Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(1)(a), existing trees are required to be retained on site unless removal is
approved in writing by the City. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7(C)(2)(a),where trees
are approved by the City to be removed, replacement with a species identified in section 8-2A-7Q
of this article is required. For each caliper inch of deciduous tree removed, an equivalent amount
of caliper inches shall be replanted.For each vertical foot of coniferous tree removed,an equivalent
amount of vertical feet shall be replanted.
Staff defers comment regarding the removal of the 18 trees to the Design Review Board.
If the City approves the removal of the trees and does not required additional mitigation, no
additional trees are required.
-OR-
If the City approves the removal of the trees and does required mitigation,the applicant should be
required to provide a revised landscape plan showing an additional 130-caliper inches and 187-
vertical feet of tree (65, 2-inch caliper trees and 31, 6-foot evergreen trees) planted on site. The
revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
certificate.
-OR-
If the City approves the removal of the trees and does required mitigation,the applicant may opt to
pay an in lieu fee into the tree fund in the amount of$33,970.00(130-caliper inches x$175.00 per
caliper inch and 187-vertical feet x$60.00 per vertical foot). The payment to the tree fund should
be received by the City prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate.
-OR-
Any other combination of planting additional trees on site and/or a contribution to the tree fund as
may be approved by the City. A revised landscape plan and/or contribution to the tree fund should
be reviewed and approved and/or submitted to the City prior to the submittal of a final plat
application or commencement of any construction/demolition on the site,whichever occurs first.
