D. DISCUSSION: • The applicant is requesting design review approval to modify the Eagle Tennis Center building by remodeling the existing 84,324-square foot building and constructing a 62,805-square foot addition to create a health club for the Life Time Club. The modification to the building will take place in two phases. The first phase will consist of remodeling the existing 84,324-square foot building by removing the rollup door located on the east building elevation and replacing it with a storefront window and door system, creating a new check -in desk and pro shop at the east end of the building and thereby creating the temporary entrance to the building on the east building elevation. This new check -in desk and pro shop will allow for the removal of the two temporary trailers, patio area, and volleyball courts currently located on the south side of the building. That area will be replanted with native seed to improve the view as phase 2 of the building is being constructed. A smaller temporary trailer will be placed within the parking area along the east property line of the site (near the new temporary entrance). The temporary trailer is being proposed to meet the restroom fixture requirements of the building until phase two of the building is completed, at which time the building will meet the required restroom facilities for the entire facility. Phase two will consist of the construction of a new 62,805-square foot building addition, parking area, landscaping, pools and pool deck area. The new building addition will provide a new main entry to the facility on the west building elevation. The applicant's justification letter indicates that the architectural style of the building is consistent with the Craftsman style which is permitted within the EASD book. The letter states the craftsman features include blending the low-pitched, cabled rooflines of the existing Tennis Facility with the square and simple design of the proposed building addition. The front entry features a gabled roof element that ties the two structures together. The proposed building addition adds decorative bracing under the bold but modest cornice details. The horizontal design of the single story addition includes sconce lighting accents meant to enhance the Craftsman aesthetic and highlight features at a pedestrian scale. The proposed building 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 122 existing trees located within this site and around the existing parking lot. The applicant is proposing to retain 119 of the trees and remove three of the trees which are all Tulip 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)(c), unless it is determined by the City that replacement is necessary to preserve and/or restore riparian and wildlife habitat, removal of Black Locust, Silver Maple, and Cottonwood trees do not require replacement. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A- 7(C)(2)(a), for each caliper inch of deciduous tree removed, an equivalent amount of caliper inches is required to be replanted and for each vertical foot of coniferous tree removed, an equivalent amount of vertical feet is required to be replanted. Staff defers comment regarding the removal of the three trees to the Design Review Board.
