Eagle planning commission recommends approval of Hartley Cove annexation, rezone and PUD

The City of Eagle Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Hartley Cove annexation, rezone with development agreement, conditional use permit and preliminary plat after deliberation on setbacks, landscape requirements and private‑street provisions.

Mike Williams, the applicant’s representative, told the commission the preliminary plan "consists of 5 lots" on about 5.74 acres and that the lots average roughly 43,900 square feet, producing a proposed density of 0.88 dwelling units per acre. Williams and staff highlighted requested modifications to condition 3.4 (streetlight maintenance language) and site‑specific conditions 8 and 13 (setback/road and landscape/tree requirements).

Staff planner Andrew Glassbell said the PUD is necessary because the project proposes a private street and that, under the comprehensive plan, the area is intended for large‑lot development. Glassbell described that the applicant’s plan shows five buildable lots plus one common lot for a private road and noted the adjacent Terra View mixed‑use area to the west.

Commissioners focused on technical clarifications — how front setbacks should be measured relative to back of sidewalk versus property line, what the landscape plan must include, and whether architectural elevations should be required as an exhibit. Commissioner Smith moved to recommend approval "including all specific and site recommended conditions as indicated," and the commission approved the motion by voice vote.

Next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action on annexation, rezone and development agreement terms.
