C. DISCUSSION:
.
The building addition is proposed to be constructed nineteen feet (19') from the rear (north)
property line. Per Eagle City Code, the minimum rear yard setback the R-4 zoning district is
twenty five (25 '). The applicant should be required to provide revised site, landscape, elevation,
and floor plans showing the building addition a minimum of twenty five (25') feet south of the
north property line. The revised site, landscape, elevation, and floor plans should be reviewed
and approved by the Design Review Board prior to the City accepting a building permit for this
site.
.
Currently there is one existing ground mounted mechanical unit located on the north side of the
building. The applicant is proposing to construct the building addition where this ground
mounted mechanical unit is located. The site, elevation, and floor plans do not show where this
ground mounted mechanical unit is going to be relocated or how it will be screened from view.
Per Eagle City Code, all pad mounted mechanical units are required to be screened from view.
Page 6 of 13
K:\Planning DeptlEagle ApplicationsIDrI2002\DR- 72-02 drf.doe
.
The applicant should be required to provide revised site, landscape, elevation, and floor plans
showing the location and how any ground mounted mechanical units are proposed to be
screened. The revised site, landscape, elevation, and floor plans 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. Roof-top mechanical units are not proposed and none are approved
with this application.
There is one 2 I-square foot trash enclosure currently located on the east side of the storage shed,
just north of the parking spaces located on the west side of the parking lot, approximately 100-
feet north of the driveway on Floating Feather Road. The enclosure is constructed of chainlink
fence with vinyl slats. Per Eagle City Code, all trash receptacles are required to be screened
from view by a five foot (5') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer. Eagle City Code
prohibits chainlink fencing with slats for screening. The applicant should be required to provide
a revised elevation plan showing the construction materials to be used in the construction of the
trash enclosure and gates. The materials to be used in the construction of the trash enclosure
should complement the materials used in the construction of the building. The revised elevation
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 should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing the trash enclosure
screened from view by a five foot (5') wide by six foot (6') high landscape buffer. The revised
landscape 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.
There is a twenty five foot (25') wide drive aisle located between the four (4) parking spaces
located on the west side of the parking lot with fifteen feet (15') of landscaping (consisting of
grass only) between the drive aisle and the sidewalk on Floating Feather Road. There is a
gradual sloping berm of approximately three feet (3') in height between the six (6) parking
spaces on the east side of the parking lot with approximately forty three (43) linear feet between
the parking lot and the sidewalk on Floating Feather Road. Per Eagle City Code, a landscape
strip is required to be provided when a parking lot is located adjacent to a public right of way.
The landscaped strip shall serve to shield views of parked cars to passing motorists and
pedestrians, and to establish coordination among architecturally diverse buildings, which creates
a pleasing, harmonious appearance along the roadway. Eagle City Code provides four options
for screening the parking lot from Floating Feather Road. The applicant should be required to
provide a revised landscape plan showing the parking lot is screened from view by landscaping
so as to be in compliance with Eagle City Code (Section 8-2A- 7(K)(2)(a-d». The revised
landscape 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 existing parking lot has ten (10) parking spaces with approximately four percent (4%)
interior landscaping. Per Eagle City Code, a parking lot with ten (10) parking spaces is required
to have a minimum of five percent (5%) interior landscaping within the parking lot. Eagle City
Code also requires a terminal island for a single row of parking spaces to be planted with at least
one tree and shrubs, ground cover, or grass. By constructing a terminal island at the southern
most parking spaces of the four (4) parking spaces located on the west side of the parking lot the
applicant would be complying with Eagle City Code with regard to the required terminal island
in that location but the applicant would achieve five percent (5%) interior landscaping within the
parking lot. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape plan showing a
minimum of five percent (5%) interior landscaping within the parking lot and a terminal island at
the southern most parking spaces of the four (4) parking spaces located on the west side of the
parking lot. The revised landscape plan should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the
