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. As mentioned above in the first bullet point, the applicant is completing the development in phases. It is the applicant's goal to have parking areas and drive aisles paved by the completion of the office building, however, if the office building is completed during the winter months, they are uncertain whether the pavement will be completed before the office building needs to be occupied. If the office is completed during the winter months the applicant plans on constructing a compacted gravel drive aisle from the existing parking area (north of the proposed Crafted Kitchen and Page 13 of 20 KAPlanning Dept\Eagle Applications\Dr\2026\Woodstone at the Flats Building - DR-2026-69\03-Working Files\02-DRB\01-DRB Packet\Woodstone Building Findings DR.docx Woodstone 99 buildings) to the proposed office and constructing a temporary compacted gravel fire truck turn around to the south of the proposed office. Pursuant to Eagle City Code Section 8- 4-2: Paving: The required number of parking and loading spaces as set forth in this chapter, together with driveways, aisles and other circulation areas, shall be improved with material such as asphalt or concrete, to provide a durable and dust free surface. Gravel or dirt surfaces shall not be permitted unless used as part of a home occupation. If the applicant is unable to pave the parking area, drive aisles, and fire truck access prior to the completion of the office building, the applicant should be required to provide a letter from the fire department stating they will accept a compacted gravel drive aisle and temporary turn around. A surety for the completion of the required parking area (including but not limited to pavement, drainage, striping, etc.) should be accepted in the amount of the required improvements multiplied by 150%. The letter from the fire department and surety should be provided to the city prior to the issuance of a temporary occupancy for the office building. Through the approval of the conditional use permit, Woodstone Sheds were proposed to be used for retail sales at events. The Woodstone Sheds are proposed to be 192-square feet and located on the existing concrete pad that is located near the southwest corner of the outdoor live events area. To date, no elevations have been provided for The Woodstone Sheds. The applicant should be required to submit a design review application for The Woodstone Shed structures for review and approval by the City. The design review application should be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of a zoning certificate or these structures being placed/constructed within the development. STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT: Based upon the information provided to staff to date, if the requested design review application is approved, staff recommends the site specific conditions of approval and standard conditions of approval provided within the staff report. PUBLIC MEETING OF THE BOARD: A. A meeting to consider the application was held before the Design Review Board on September 10, 2026, at which time the Board made their decision. BOARD DELIBERATION: Upon completion of the applicant's and staff s presentations, the Board discussed during deliberation that: • The Board is in favor of the design, materials, and colors as presented. • The Board is in favor of no tree mitigation for the removal of the trees from this site based on site constraints created by the dedication of right of way to Idaho Transportation Department for State Highway 16. With the dedication of right of way and the location of the existing buildings, the existing drive aisle must be removed and reconstructed closer to the existing buildings, therefore, requiring the removal of several trees from the northeastern area of the site. Additionally, the fire department is requiring a fire access road around the perimeter of the site. Based on the proposed location of the fire access road and proposed parking, the Board concluded that the applicant has designed the site to remove the least amount of trees from the site while protecting and retaining all remaining trees. BOARD DECISION: The Board voted 3 to 0 (Grubb, Lindgren, and Norton absent) to recommend approval of DR-2026-69 for a design review application for two restaurant buildings, an office building, and live entertainment events at Woodstone at the Flats, with the following staff recommended site specific conditions of approval and standard conditions of approval with text shown with underline to be added by the Board and text shown with strikethrough to be deleted by the Board.
