D. DISCUSSION: • Eagle City Code section 11A-13C-6(B): Open Space: states, "The minimum amount of open space that must be set aside for open space within Spring Valley shall comply with chapter 3 of this title. The minimum amount of open space in all single-family residential subdivisions (except for the RR and ER land use districts) shall be six hundred (600) square feet per lot. Additionally, Eagle City Code section 11A-3-7(P) requires a minimum of 50% of the common area open space within single-family residential neighborhoods to be an amenity area for active and/or passive recreation. An "amenity area" is defined as ground with a slope of ten percent (10%) or less. The minimum amount of open space within any PUMP shall be fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross acres of the PUMP. No plat shall be approved within any planning area if, with the approval of such plat, the platted and unplatted open space in the PUMP would fall below fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross acres of the PUMP. Plats may be denied if the city finds the applicant is unable to show that fifty percent (50%) of all dwelling units in the planning area, sixty five percent (65%) of all single-family detached lots less than five thousand (5,000) square feet in the planning Page 17 of 27 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Spring Valley \Applications\O1-Planning Unit No I \03-PP-FP \06-Valnova Lot 29\01-Valnova Estates No. 2 PP\03-Working Files\04-City Council\04-CC Findings\Valnova Estates No. 2 - Lot 29 ccf.docx area, and fifty percent (50%) of all single-family detached lots less than eight thousand (8,000) square feet in the planning area, will abut some form of open space." The application, as proposed, contains 154 total lots (139-buildable, 15-common). This results in a total requirement of 92,400-square feet (2.12-acres), of which 46,200-square feet (1.06-acres) must be designated as an "amenity area" with a slope of 10% or less. The applicant is proposing 2,491,196-square feet (57.19-acres) of open space, which equates to 47% of the total land within the proposed application. Approximately 90,000-square feet of the proposed open space qualifies as an "amenity area" (with a slope of 10-percent [10%] or less), which is 194.8% of the required amenity space. The proposed development (Valnova Estates No. 2 Subdivision) meets the open space requirements of both Eagle City Code Sections 11A-13C-6(B) and 11A-3-7(P) and is trending towards compliance with the minimum open space requirements for PUMP No. 1. • Eagle City Code Section 11A-2-4: "Setbacks and General Lot Development Regulations" provides the following minimum setback requirements for the proposed Land Use Districts: SF2 (Single-family detached): Front garage: 20-feet Side garage: 10-feet Living: 10-feet Interior Side: 5-feet Street Side: 15-feet Rear: 20-feet Maximum Height: 35-feet 11A-2-4(A)(5) states, "Residential setbacks for front, side and rear loaded single- family units shall be measured from the back of sidewalk, or back of curb if no sidewalk exists, or edge of pavement if no curb exists, to the foundation of a building or the face of a garage. All other setbacks shall be measured to the property line or as otherwise noted." • Site specific condition of approval #18 of PUMP No. 1 (PU-01-21) establishes maximum density requirements for sub -zoning designations within the Planning Areas of PUMP No. 1. The maximum allowed density for Single -Family 2 (SF2) units within the Northern Residential Planning Area and Big Gulch Planning Area is 7-units per acre. The applicant is proposing a density of 1.14-dwelling units per acre within the SF2 sub -zoning designation. The proposed density is within the maximum allowed density for the SF2 sub -zone and is trending toward overall compliance with the maximum density requirements for PUMP No. 1 • The Master Sidewalks, Pathways, and Trails Plan, dated May 9, 2024, was submitted and reviewed by the City of Eagle's Parks, Pathways, and Recreation Commission in May of 2024. The Commission recommended general approval of the community pathway network and open space design within the Spring Valley Master Trails and Open Space Plan. The Commission also determined that pathway, trail and open space recommendations for future plat applications would be submitted to Planning and Zoning staff for review. Staff has reviewed the proposed plan and determined it to be in substantial conformance with the approved Master Pathways and Trails Plan. The proposed Pathways and Trails Plan submitted as part of the Valnova Estates Subdivision No. 2 application shows the approved three-foot wide to five-foot wide (3'-5'W) natural surface trail throughout Lots 1, 39, and 40, Block 2, and Lot 1, Block 4. Page 18 of 27 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\ Spring Valley \ Applications\01-Planning Unit No 1\03-PP-FP\06-Valnova Lot 29\0t-Valnova Estates No. 2 PP\03-Working Files\04-City Council\04-CC Findings\Valnova Estates No. 2 - Lot 29 ccf.docx Although Lot 26, Block 1 of the Spring Valley large lot plat (Spring Valley No. 1 Subdivision) is not included as part of this application, the proposed Pathways and Trails Plan shows a 5-foot-wide (5'W) concrete pathway within Lot 26, which connects the east and west sides of the proposed natural surface trail within Valnova Estates No. 2 Subdivision. The applicant should be required to execute pathway easement agreements in accordance with the requirements of Eagle City Code Section 11A-13D-1-6 for access and maintenance of the proposed pathways and trails within Valnova Estates No. 2 Subdivision. The recorded Instrument Number of the executed agreement(s) should be listed on the final plat prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat mylar. • The applicant is proposing two (2) private streets within Valnova Estates No. 2 (Private Street 1 and Private Street 2, as shown on the revised preliminary plat dated March 20, 2025). Justification for the private streets has been provided by the applicant based on the significant constraints imposed by the existing hillside slopes, which limit the available locations for lots to take direct access. Both private streets serve more than three (3) lots, exceeding the maximum allowed for shared private drives or driveways, pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 11A-13C-2-1. The preliminary plat indicates that both private streets are designed with 24-foot wide street sections. Private Street 1 is proposed to include 5-foot attached sidewalks on both sides and will terminate in a cul-de-sac with a 50-foot radius and a landscape island. Private Street 2 is designed with a 5-foot wide sidewalk on one side of the street (west side) and will terminate in a cul-de-sac with a 50-foot radius. Unlike Private Street 1, the cul-de-sac of Private Street 2 will not include a landscape island. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Sections 11A-13C-2-5(B)(6) and 11A-13C-2-1(G), all dead end private streets that terminate at a cul-de-sac are required to be constructed with a minimum turnaround radius of fifty feet (50') of right of way, including a landscape island with a radius of ten feet (10'). However, City Council maintains the ability waive or modify any of the standards or requirements of Eagle City Code Section 11A-13C-2-5: Private Streets, when the private streets have been determined to be an integral element of the overall plan and scheme of the development or will serve to enhance the overall development; provided, however, that any such waiver shall not be injurious to public health or safety. Unless the City Council approves the proposed design of the cul-de-sac at the termination of Private Street 2, the applicant should be required to submit a revised preliminary plat with a cul- de-sac that meets the requirements of Eagle City Code prior to the submittal of a final plat application. • Road A is proposed as a public street, designed to terminate at a cul-de-sac including a landscape island within the right-of-way. The applicant should provide a license agreement from ACHD approving the landscaping located within the public right-of-way abutting and within this site prior to approval of a final plat. • Road E is proposed to terminate in a temporary cul-de-sac until the property to the north is developed. At that time, the temporary cul-de-sac will be removed, and Road E will be extended to connect to the northern property. As proposed, the northern edge of the temporary cul-de-sac is approximately twenty -feet (20') south of the northern property line. If constructed as proposed, the northernmost section of Road E within Valnova Estates Subdivision No. 2 would need to be removed and reconstructed when the northern property is developed. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 11A-13C-2-1(C), and to ensure that the entire roadway (including the street, curb, gutter, and sidewalks) is constructed within the site, the applicant should be required to submit a revised preliminary plat which shows Road E extending to the northern property boundary and the temporary cul-de-sac located outside of the boundaries of Valnova Estates Subdivision No. 2, prior to submittal of a design review application. Page 19 of 27 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\Spring Valley \Applications\01-Planning Unit No 1 \ 03-PP-FP \06-Valnova Lot 29\01-Valnova Estates No. 2 PP\03-Working Files\04-City Council\04-CC Findings\Valnova Estates No. 2 - Lot 29 ccf.docx • The applicant has proposed to construct Private Street 1 and Private Street 2 as twenty -four -foot wide (24'W) street sections. Given the minimum required width of an unobstructed fire lane, any on -street parking would impede emergency vehicle access on both private streets. To ensure compliance with the Star Fire District's requirements and maintain adequate emergency response access, the applicant should be required to install 'No Parking' signs on both sides of Private Street 1 and Private Street 2. The location and design of the signs should be reviewed and approved by the Star Fire District and the City of Eagle prior to signature on the final plat mylar. • Eagle City Code Section 11A-13C-2-5(A)(9): Private Streets, limits the total number of lots within Spring Valley that can be served by private streets to twenty percent (20%). To date, if all development applications within Valnova (Spring Valley) are constructed as approved (not including this application), the total percentage of lots which will be served by private streets/alleys is fourteen percent (14%). If this application is approved, the addition of these two (2) private streets would increase the total percentage of lots that are served by private streets within the Valnova development to eighteen percent (18%) and therefore would remain within the allowable 20% threshold established by the Eagle City Code. In a broader context, Valnova has been approved for a base density of 4,152 lots, including all bonus densities earned to date. Based on this total, approximately 3% of the lots within Valnova have been approved to be served by private streets/alleys, to date. Furthermore, if all possible bonus densities are achieved, Valnova may be approved for up to 7,160 lots in total. Using this metric, only 1.8% of the total lots have been approved to be served by private streets/alleys, to date. • Staff has evaluated the proposed preliminary plat in relation to the approved PUMP No. 1, in terms of sub -zoning designations, density, road configurations, pathways and trails, open space provisions, and required infrastructure improvements. Considering the aforementioned items, it is staff's opinion that the proposed plat is in substantial conformance with the approved PUMP No. 1.
