II. APPLICANT INFORMATION

B. Owner:
C4 Land LLC—PO Box 1610,Eagle ID 83616
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
The annexation,preliminary plat and development agreement for this development was approved by
City Council on November 2017 as the East Ridge Estates Subdivision(H-2017-0129). The approved
project allows the construction of a residential subdivision consisting of one hundred thirty-nine (139)
residential lots and seven(7) common lots. The Final Plat for Phase One was approved by the
Council on July 17, 2019. The Final Plat for Phase Two was approved by the Council on March 2,
2021.
In November of 2020,the City Council approved an amendment to the development agreement(H-
2020-0096). This was due to a request of the applicant to make changes to the configuration of the
Page 1

Item#8.
plat and landscape plan,replace a required clubhouse amenity with a dog park, outdoor ramada
(shade structure), and water feature, and eliminate a number of requirements that were originally
established to address concerns of an adjacent property owner to the west who has since sold their
property. The ramada and water feature are being constructed with the second phase.
Gated private streets are proposed with Phase Three. UDC 11-3F-4 lists the design standards which
are required for private streets. The preliminary plat proposed common driveways off private streets,
whereas this is prohibited by UDC 11-3F-4-6. Alternative compliance is allowed from the design and
construction standards, and at the time of the preliminary plat the applicant was granted alternative
compliance to allow the common driveways. It should be noted the road configuration with the
preliminary plat proposed numerous common driveways off private streets,whereas the current
proposal only includes three common drives. The applicant submitted private street sections that
comply with all remaining requirements of UDC 11-3F4. A complete maintenance agreement that
met the requirements of UDC 11-3F-3B.4 was submitted with reviewed and approved with the second
phase.
Staff has reviewed the proposed final plat for substantial compliance with the approved preliminary
plat and modified development agreement in accord with the requirements listed in UDC 11-6B-3C.2.
Because the final plat matches what was approved with the modified development agreement,does
not increase the number of building lots and contains the same amount of qualified open space, Staff
finds the proposed final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat as
required.
IV. DECISION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed final plat within the conditions noted in Section VI of
this report.
