STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT:
A.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WillCH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING TillS PROPOSAL:
.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as "Residential Estates"; suitable
primarily for single family residential development on acreages may be in transition from
agricultural to residential use or may combine small scale agricultural uses with residential
uses. Residential density of up to one dwelling unit per two gross acres may be considered by
the City for this area.

ECC Section 9-3-2-1 LOT TYPES, states in part:
Page 5 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle AppIications\SUBS\2001 \Henry's Sub. pzf.doc
D.
DISCUSSION:
Though Lot: A lot with frontage on more than one street other than a corner lot.
.
ECC Section 9-3-2-1 (C) STUB STREETS:
Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in new
subdivisions shall be such that said streets extend to the boundary line of the tract
to make provisions for the future extension of said streets into adjacent areas, and
shall have a cul-de-sac or temporary cul-de-sac. A reserve street may be required
and held in public ownership.
.
ECC Section 9-3-2-1 (G) (2) CUL-DE-SAC STREETS:
In zoning districts which prohibit densities greater than one dwelling unit per two
(2) acres, cul-de-sac streets up to a maximum of one thousand five hundred feet
(1,500') in length may be permitted by the City if approved by the Fire
Department and the highway district having jurisdiction. No more than twenty
(20) dwelling units shall be permitted on said cul-de-sac.
.
ECC Section 9-3-6 (A) EASEMENTS, states in part:
Total easement width shall not be less than twelve feet (12').
.
ECC Section 9-4-1-3 (A) (2) CURBS AND GUTTERS:
Rolled curbs and gutters shall be required on minor streets.
.
ECC Section 9-4-1-6 (A) SIDEWALKS AND PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS,
Sidewalks shall be required on both sides of the street; except, that where the
average width of lots, as measured at the street frontage line or at the building
setback line, is over one hundred feet (100'), sidewalks on only one side of the
street may be allowed.
.
ECC Section 9-4-1-9 C (1) PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION FACILITIES:
For any new subdivision and/or PUD, to be provided with a public water
system and containing more than four (4) lots, all residential dwelling units within
such subdivision shall be provided with a pressurized irrigation system to be
served with irrigation water unless a waiver, as outlined herein, is approved by the
City Council.
.
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Residential Estates (up to one
unit per two-acres maximum). The applicant is proposing .49-units per acre.
The August 23, 2001, Ada County Highway District Commission report includes a discussion
on the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk on Meridian Road abutting this site. The report
states that curb and gutter will not be required due to the majority of the land in the area
having already been developed. It would be difficult at this point in time to construct curb and
gutter without great expense, especially when other roadways are in more need of attention
and with limited funds to spread around. In addition, an existing drainage problem would be
exacerbated with the addition of curb and gutter, thereby interfering with existing historical
drainage ways and directing storm water runoff to areas that are overburdened or unable to
accommodate the additional flows.
.
Page 6 of 14
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle AppIications\SUBS\2001\Henry's Sub. pzf.doc
Eagle City staff would recommend that the City agree with ACHD and not require the
construction of curb and gutter on Meridian Road abutting this site. The disadvantages would
outweigh the benefits, namely the lack of proper drainage may cause safety hazards as well as
contribute to pest problems. Also, the construction of only one segment of curb and gutter in
an area which may not see redevelopment for a number of years would not only cause safety
issues (the curb acting as a sudden obstacle for drivers used to borrow ditches); aesthetic
concerns would also arise. A rural road with borrow ditches on either side does maintain a
certain appearance of a country setting; a concrete curb and gutter on only a small portion of
the roadway would clash with the surrounding landscape.
.
Lot 3, Block 2, is configured on the preliminary plat in such a way that there is frontage on
more than one street, which Eagle City Code defines as a through lot. While through lots are
not prohibited by Eagle City Code, common practice is to dissuade the design of lots in this
manner. The applicant should place a note on the final plat stating that access from Lot 3,
Block 2, to Corsey Way shall be limited to the western lot boundary only (abutting Corsey
Way).
.
The City Engineer's letter dated, August 23,2001, states in part, that approval should be based
on the applicant installing an intermediate cul-de-sac on Corsey Way since the roadway
exceeds the maximum cul-de-sac length of 1,500-feet (maximum length in the R-E zoning
district). In the past, the City has interpreted that when roadways are designed as stub streets
to connect to adjacent properties the maximum cul-de-sac length does not apply. Staff
recommends that an intermediate cul-de-sac should be installed if deemed necessary by the
Eagle Fire Department. If, however, the Eagle Fire Department does not require this type of
turnaround, then staff recommends the City remain consistent with past actions and allow the
stub street to be constructed as proposed.
.
The Ada County Highway District in its Commission report dated, August 23,2001, prohibits
any direct parcel or lot access (other than the approved public road) to Meridian Road. Lots 6
and 7, Block 2, are proposed to access Meridian Road directly rather than through the
subdivision. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing access to Lots 6
and 7, Block 2, through the internal roadway system of the subdivision rather than directly to
Meridian Road.
.
The applicant has not provided a pressurized irrigation plan as required by Eagle City Code.
A fully operable pressurized irrigation is required to be provided to each lot within the
subdivision unless a wavier as outlined in ECC Section 9-4-1-9(C)(3) is approved by the City
Council upon approval of the preliminary plat. The applicant should provide a plan
delineating the pressurized irrigation prior to City approval of the final plat.
.
Regarding sidewalks for this site, the City Council has previously determined that for
subdivisions with I-acre or larger lot sizes, 4-foot wide bike/ pedestrian pathways striped
along both edges of the internal roadway(s) provides adequate room for pedestrian access
throughout these types of subdivisions. In addition, ACHD requires that the developer stripe a
4-foot wide section on both sides of the roadway edge for bike/pedestrian use in subdivisions
with lot sizes 1.5-acres in size or greater.
The applicant should be required to submit with the final plat a striping plan showing a 4-foot
wide path striped on both edges of all roadways within this site. The plan should include
pedestrian designation markings such as diamonds or pedestrianlbicycle symbols to be

required public improvements are required as conditioned herein, or are expected to
be installed with the development of individual lots as conditions of approval; and
