K. GENERAL Sri DESIGN FEATURES:
Open Space:
A total of 2.87 -acres of open space is proposed within the development. The open space consists of a
centralized common area and buffer areas located adjacent to West Flint Drive, North Park Lane, and
West Nephi Lane.
Storm Drainage and Flood Control:
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:
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on August 15, 2018, notes that all lot lines common to
a public right -of --way, private road lot, and the subdivision boundary have a 12 -foot wide permanent
public utility, drainage, and irrigation easement. The notes also indicate that no easements are being
provided along interior lot lines unless they are required by a utility provider.
All utilities including power are required to be placed underground.
Fire Hydrants and Water Mains:
The preliminary plat, date stamped by the City on August 15, 2018, shows three (3) fire hydrants located
within the subdivision. Eagle Fire Department provided correspondence, date stamped by the city on
May 2, 2018, which indicated the bollards that are shown in the emergency fire lane that intersects W.
Nephi Lane are not approved. The fire department will accept an approved gate to restrict use of the
fire lane or simply keep the fire lane open with no obstructions. Additional correspondence from Eagle
Fire Department was received on May 29, 2019.
On-site Septic System (yes or no) — Yes
The site contained two residential dwellings which are currently being served by septic systems.
Preservation of Existing Natural Features:
Eagle City Code Section 9-3-8 (B) states that existing natural features which add value to residential
development and enhance the attractiveness of the community (such as trees, watercourses, historic
spots and similar irreplaceable assets) shall be preserved in the design of the subdivision.
Preservation of Existing Historical Assets:
Staff is not aware of any existing historical assets on the site. If any historical artifacts are discovered
during excavation or development of the site, state law requires immediate notification to the state.
L. BUILDING DESIGN FEATURES: N/A
M. LANDSCAPING DESIGN:
Retention of Existing Trees and Preservation Methods: There are mature trees existing in the central
portion of the site and the western portion of the site near the two existing homes that are proposed to
be removed.
Tree Replacement Calculations: One hundred fifty-six (156) total trees have been identified on the site.
Twenty-three (23) trees are proposed to be preserved, nine (9) transplanted on site, 110 removed from
