C. DISCUSSION:
.
The church was originally constructed in 1896 on Edgewood Lane. In the fall of 1906 the
church facility was moved to its present location on Eagle Road on land donated by Tom Aiken.
This building is considered a historic landmark within the City of Eagle. It is the applicant's
intent to preserve the historical character of the original church. The applicant is proposing to
remove two older building additions that do not fit with the architecture of the original building;
the kitchen on the west elevation and the entry vestibule on the east elevation. Two new
additions are planned; one on the north elevation and one on the west elevation. These two
building additions will match the existing design, materials, and colors of the original building.
The applicant should be required to obtain approval from the Eagle Historical Commission.
The entire east building elevation (existing and proposed) has approximately twenty percent
(20%) glass. The south building elevation has approximately thirteen percent (13%) glass.
Eagle City Code requires all buildings within the DDA (Downtown Development Area) to
include a "store-front" on the ground floor consisting of a minimum of fifty percent (50%) glass.
The existing building is located thirty three feet (33') from the east (front) property line and forty
four and one half feet (44 Yz') from the south side property line. Eagle City Code requires
buildings in the downtown development area (DDA) to have front building elevations setback
from the property line a minimum of zero feet (0') to a maximum of ten feet (10') and side
building setbacks from the property line to be zero feet (0') so as to tie into adjoining structures.
The footprint of the existing building and proposed building additions covers approximately
twenty percent (20%) of the lot. Eagle City Code requires buildings in the downtown
development area (DDA) to have a minimum lot coverage of forty percent (40%) and a
maximum of ninety five percent (95%) by the footprint of the structure.
Per Eagle City Code, in order to foster rehabilitation of older districts and comply with
unforeseen future needs of the overlay district, the City Council may, at their discretion, suspend
or relax some or all requirements found in this code, if the City Council determines a particular
site, setting, or use to be of historical significance. The location of this building is nestled in an
area that maybe considered unique due to its location in the downtown and its close proximity to
Orville Jackson's, located less than two hundred feet (200') to the northeast. Previous City
Council action has determined, on similar applications, that the Design Review Ordinance
regarding setbacks, lot coverage, and glazing was to apply to new structures and additions, and
that it was not the intent of the City to require existing historic structures to be rebuilt to meet the
setback and lot coverage requirements. Pursuant to past action of the City Council, setbacks, lot
coverage, and glazing for existing structures have been waived in order to maintain the
distinctive look of the downtown of Eagle. The Design Review Board should determine whether
the setbacks, lot coverage, and glazing as required by Eagle City Code should be complied with
the renovation of this structure or if they should be waived to accommodate the existing historic
structure.
.
.
The existing spire on the east side of the building is forty six feet (46') in height. Eagle City
Code requires all spires to be limited to a maximum of thirty five feet (35') in height. Additional
height may be permitted if a conditional use permit is approved by the City Council. Per Eagle
City Code, in order to foster rehabilitation of old districts and comply with unforeseen future
needs of the overlay districts, the City Council may, at their discretion, suspend or relax some or
all requirements found in this code, if the City Council determines a particular site, setting, or
use to be of historical significance. As previously mentioned in the discussion regarding
Page 8 of 16
K:\Planning DeptlEagle ApplicationslDr\2002IDR-48-02 drfdoc
.
setbacks, lot coverage, and glazing it may be considered that because this building is of historic
significance and since the spire is an existing feature on the building, a height exception may be
considered without requiring the applicant to obtain a conditional use permit for the height
exception.
Currently, on the east elevation of the church facility there is an entry vestibule with a covered
entry. The applicant is proposing to remove the vestibule and covered entry from the east
elevation since it is the applicant's opinion that this entry vestibule and covered entry do not fit
with the character and architecture of the original building. By removing this vestibule and
covered entry the building will not meet Eagle City Code, which requires building entries facing
a street to be recessed a minimum offour feet (4'). The applicant should be required to provide
a revised building elevation showing a four foot (4') recessed entry into the building on the east
building elevation. The revised building elevation should be reviewed and approved by staff and
one member of the Design Review Board prior to submitting for a building permit.
Eighteen (18) parking spaces have been proposed with this application. This calculation is based
on eighty seven (87) seats in the assembly area. The parking calculations used were based on an
assembly use as described in Eagle City Code, which requires one parking space per five (S)
seats. The office and coffee barlkitchen facilities are auxiliary to the main use of assembly. If
the use of this site were to intensify into a retail use, additional parking requirements would be
required on this site. Retail sales of goods and services (e.g. coffee) and any restaurant use is
prohibited.
There are nine (9) existing trees on this site (one (1) catalpa, one (1) norway maple, two (2)
walnut, three (3) siberian elm, one (1) red maple, one (1) black locust). The site and landscape
plans indicate that there are only five (S) existing trees on this site. The applicant is proposing to
retain the five (S) trees shown on the site and landscape plans. Per the arborist report by Linda
Jarsky date stamped by the City on July 23, 2002, eight (8) of the trees should be retained and
pruned and one (the black locust tree) should be removed because it is diseased. The applicant
should be required to retain and protect the eight (8) existing trees during construction of the
building additions and street improvements.
.
.
.
The applicant is proposing to vacate the public right-of-way of the alley located abutting this
site's north property line. The vacation of this public alley right-of-way will not affect the traffic
circulation on this site. It is the applicant's intention to purchase the full fourteen foot (14') wide
right-of-way and incorporate that land into the design of this site. The site plan date stamped by
the City on September 27, 2002, shows a portion of the alley right-of-way improved with the
proposed deck and gazebo. As noted in the arborist report by Linda Jarsky date stamped by the
City on July 23, 2002, there are several existing trees on this north property line that should be
retained and pruned. If the applicant is successful in vacating the alley and purchasing the entire
alley width, the applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan that
incorporates the trees on the north property line with this development. The revised landscape
plan should be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to submitting for a
building permit.
The trash enclosure is proposed to be located within the parking lot on the east side of the
driveway providing access to Aikens Road. A landscape buffer is proposed on the northeast and
southwest sides of the trash enclosure, however no landscape buffer has been proposed on the
southeast side (back) of the trash enclosure. Per Eagle City Code, the applicant is required to
provide a five foot (S') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer to screen the trash enclosure.
The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the trash enclosure
screened by a five foot (S') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer. The revised landscape
.
Page 9 of 16
K:IPlanning DeptlEagle ApplicationsIDrl2002IDR-48-02 drfdoc
.
plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to submitting for a building permit.
The applicant has submitted an alternative method of compliance application requesting that the
required landscape buffer between the parking lot and Aikens Road be reduced due to space
limitations on this site. The Ada County Highway District is requiring an additional six feet (6')
of right-of-way be dedicated from this site for Aikens Road. Per Eagle City Code, the applicant
is required to provide a ten foot (10') wide minimum sidewalk abutting Aikens Road. The above
mentioned street improvements greatly impact this site which reduces the amount of space the
applicant has on site to provide parking improvements. The applicant has proposed planters
between the back of sidewalk and the south parking spaces within the parking lot to provide a
small landscape buffer. These proposed landscape planters do not meet Eagle City Code, yet do
provide a small landscape buffer between the right-of-way and the parking lot. Due to the
historic significance of this building, it is staffs opinion that the reduced landscape buffer
between the parking lot and Aikens Road should be approved.
The applicant has submitted several different types of light fixtures that are proposed to be
installed to accent the building. The proposed light fixtures use different types of luminaries
(i.e.: incandescent, metal halide, halogen). No parking lot light fixtures have been submitted
with this application. A site plan showing location, height, wattage, and light distribution has not
been submitted. Per Eagle City Code, all parking areas are required to be illuminated in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The applicant should be required to provide a site
plan showing the location, height, wattage, and light distribution of all lighting proposed on this
site including parking lot lighting. The site plan should be reviewed and approved by staff and
one member of the Design Review Board prior to the City accepting a building permit for this
site.
.
.
The applicant indicates that a future building addition is proposed on the west side of the church
facility. No building elevations showing that future building addition have been submitted with
this application. The applicant should be required to provide a separate design review
application for any future building additions to the church facility.
Staff defers comment regarding building design and colors to the Design Review Board.
