The applicant as required by the Subdivision Ordinance will have to submit street
drainage plans. Specific drainage system plans are to be submitted to the City Engineer
for review and approval prior to the City Engineer signing the final plat. The plans are to
show how swales, or drain piping, will be developed in the drainage easements. Also, the
CC&R's are to contain clauses to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and City
Attorney, requiring that lots be so graded that all runoff runs either over the curb, or to the
drainage easement, and that no runoff shall cross any lot line onto another lot except
within a drainage easement.
Utility and Drainage Easements, and Underground Utilities:
Eagle City Code section 9-3-6 requires utility easements to be not less than 12 feet wide.

C.
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
.
ECC Section 9-2-3 (B)(1-5)
B. Combining Preliminary and Final Plat in Minor Subdivisions: The applicant may
request that the subdivision application be processed as both a preliminary and final plat if
Page 6 of 16
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2002\TroIley Square Sub #1 combined ppfp ccf.doc
--- ---~~-~ ---------- ----- ~--
all the following exist:
1. The proposed subdivision does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development
in a floodplain, hillside development or the like;
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in
an acceptable form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any
provision of the Zoning Title of the City.
.
ECC Section 9-3-5 (B) - Lots shall conform to the following standards:
Future Arrangements: Where parcels of land are subdivided into unusually large lots (such
as when large lots are approved for septic tanks), the parcels shall be divided, where
feasible, so as to allow for future re-subdividing into smaller parcels. Lot arrangements
shall allow for the ultimate extension of adjacent streets through the middle of wide
blocks. Whenever such future subdividing or lot splitting is contemplated, the plan thereof
shall be approved by the City Council prior to taking of such action.
.
ECC Section 9-3-6 EASEMENTS:
A. Unobstructed utility easements shall be provided along front lot lines, rear lot lines
and side lot lines when deemed necessary. Total easement width shall not be less than
twelve feet (12').
B. Unobstructed drainage way easements shall be provided as required by the City
Council.
C. All natural drainage courses shall be left undisturbed or be improved in a manner
which will improve the hydraulics and ease of maintenance of the channel.
E.
DISCUSSION:
.
On January 9,2001, a preliminary plat was approved by the City Council for Trolley Square, a
27 -acre commercial subdivision within which this current application is situated. Conditions
of approval for the previous preliminary plat required the dedication of public rights-of-way
for the Hill Road extension (north of State Street) and Academy Street (west of the terminus of
Academy Way to the Hill Road extension). Although the approval of the preliminary plat
expired on January 9, 2002, (since a final plat was not submitted for the development) the
dedication of the street right-of-ways was completed, resulting in the creation of three separate
parcels.
It is now the desire of the applicant to separately divide each of the three parcels into
subdivisions, rather than as one large subdivision over the entire 27 -acre site. This platting
process would allow for a variety of small lots with small-scale buildings (rather than a few
large multi-tenant buildings) to provide a product which fills a current market trend for the
business owner that prefers to own a building rather than pay lease fees in a multi-tenant
building. Conceivably, the total number of lots for the entire site may exceed the 23-lots
approved for the previous preliminary plat, yet because of the conditional use permit that was
approved in conjunction with the previous preliminary plat, the overall scope of the project
will only change slightly. While the number of buildings may increase, minimum parking and
landscaping requirements for each building will limit the combined building square footage.
Page 7 of 16
K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\SUBS\2002\TroIley Square Sub #1 combined ppfp ccf.doc
~ - -- --~~~-
The end product is intended to result in a mixture of smaller pad siteslbuildings which may
provide a more "community village" atmosphere rather than a "mega commercial complex".
It may be considered that the division of land is merely lines on paper; the approved
conditional use permit and design review plans will guide the project to its final appearance
and function.
.
In the fall of 2001, following construction plan approval by the Ada County Highway District
and Drainage District No.2, the applicant commenced with the construction of the Hill Road
extension and tiling of the drainage ditch. A subsequent inspection by the Army Corps of
Engineers determined that the drain ditch was a "waters of the United States" and therefore
subject to certain requirements under the Clean Water Act. Further, the ditch was not allowed
to be tiled but could be altered from its original course in order to accommodate the alignment
of Hill Road. As a result of this change, modifications to the master landscape were required
since the open drainage-way altered the overall appearance of the site.
.
Staff has reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed combined preliminary
and final plat and, in terms of Eagle City Code Section 9-2-3(B) "1 thru 5" (minimum criteria
to combine a preliminary and final plat), has made the following conclusions:
The proposed combined preliminary and final plat:
1. Does not exceed ten (10) lots;
2. No new street dedication or street widening is involved;
3. No major special development considerations are involved such as development in a
floodplain, hillside development or the like.
4. All required information for both preliminary and final plat is complete and in an
acceptable form; and
5. The proposed subdivision is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or any
provision of the Zoning Title of the City.
.
The proposed combined preliminary/final plat includes ten commercial lots Future re-
subdivision(s) of any portion of this site will be required to comply with ECC Title 9 "Land
Subdivisions".
