opinion that the applicant should coordinate the colors of the perimeter fence and the trash
enclosure to provide continuity throughout the project. The applicant should be required to
provide a detail of both the fence and trash enclosure showing the style and colors are the
Page 5 of 12

architectural plans showing the materials, colors, height, lighting, etc. to be used in the
construction of the covered parking canopies. The covered parking details should be
reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to issuance of a building permit.
.
The applicant has indicated ten (10) in-wall air conditioning condenser units on the proposed
elevations shown on Sheet A2.l (date stamped by the City on January 10, 2002). The

identical color as the corresponding elevation they are located within.
A bike rack has been indicated on Sheet L-l (date stamped by the City on January 10,2002)
to be located near the east side of the main entrance to the apartment building. On Sheet L-2
(date stamped by the City on January 10,2002) the area to the east of the main entrance to
the apartment building is proposed to be landscaped. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised site or landscape plan showing where the bike rack is to be located outside
of the landscaping. The revised site or landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by
staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
.
.
Other than a bike rack no other pedestrian amenities have been proposed on this site. The
applicant should be required to provide additional pedestrian amenities such as benches,
picnic tables, pathways or other amenities used by older persons. The pedestrian amenities

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
1. The application for this item was received by the City of Eagle on January 10,2002.
2. Notice of Public Hearing on the application for the Eagle Design Review Board was published in
accordance with Eagle City Code on January 31, 2002. Notice of this public hearing was mailed to
property owners within three-hundred feet (300-feet) of the subject property in accordance with the
requirements of Eagle City Code on January 25, 2001. Requests for agencies' reviews were
transmitted on January 15,2001 in accordance with the requirements of the Eagle City Code.
3. The Board reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed design review
application (DR-3-02) with regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-13 Design Review Board
Action, and based upon the information provided with the conditions required herein, concludes that
the proposed design review application is in accordance with the Eagle City Code.
4. The applicant indicated to the Design Review Board that this application is an integral part of the
overall site development, which includes the remaining residential buildings and former church.
This application was submitted to facilitate funding requirements with HUD and supplemental
applications for the rest of the development will be submitted for Design Review approval.
5. The Board required that the applicant provide coniferous trees on the east side of the proposed
building that are a minimum of 10-feet in height at the time of planting. This condition was required
because of the oral and written testimony received at the meeting with concerns about the overall
height of the proposed building in relation to the residential property to the east. The determination
was that the taller trees would soften the impact of the building on the adjacent properties.
6. Base upon public testimony the Board concluded that per Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-3(A)(7), a
20% reduction in parking should be utilized in this site's design to minimize the negative impact to
the properties to the north (parking reduction to be determined by the Zoning Administrator). The
Board further concluded that this facility (housing for older persons) does not promote the need for
parking the same as required in Eagle City Code Section 8-4-5 for apartments and multi-family
dwellings. Per Eagle City Code, 1.75-parking spaces per unit are required for apartments or multi-
family dwellings. The Board concluded that l.4-parking spaces per unit should be allowed for the
housing older persons apartment facility.
