located approximately 7 Y2-feet east of the back of sidewalk. The applicant should be
required to provide a revised landscape plan showing street trees with a maximum separation
of 35-feet and planted a maximum of 5-feet from the back of the sidewalk. The revised
landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to
issuance of a building permit.
.
.
.
Per the approval of the modification to the common area landscaping of Casa Escuela
Subdivision (DR-1-97 MOD), the applicant is required to provide an additional three 3-inch
caliper trees on site in addition to the required plantings of this development. The landscape
plan submitted with this application does not appear to provide the additional three 3-inch
caliper trees on site in addition to the required plantings of this development. The applicant
should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the addition of three 3-inch
caliper trees on site. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by the
Design Review Board prior to issuance of a building permit.

Page 13 of 14

the proposed design review application is in accordance with the Eagle City Code. The Design
Review Board recognizes that requiring 63-inches of tree replacement caliper on a site this small
would be impractical because the plantings would be over crowded due to space limitations. The
applicant shall be required to replace 25% (16-inches) of the 63-inches of tree replacement caliper on
site.
The Design Review Board also recognizes the sequence of this application with the current "Draft
Tree Ordinance" of the City and does not wish to require this applicant to comply with a pending
ordinance.
DATED this 13th day of December 2001.
