Benari Estates Subdivision Eagle, Idaho 83616

Benari Estates is a 133 homesite community submitted in October 2021 for preliminary approval by the City of Eagle Planning and Zoning Department. The developer of this community is Eagle 1, LLC.

The proposed Benari Estates Development will have two (2) housing types consisting of large estate homes and single-story homes that are designed with the 55 and over demographic in mind. As proposed, the development will consist of 8.59 acres (24.7%) of open space. The proposed open space will consist of a two-sided water feature, pathways, a fully fenced dog park, an open space area to preserve the existing Pecan Trees, and a historical barn structure.

Benari's large estate homes will be developed on the north and east sides of the development which will create a transition to the existing homes and acreages. Internal to the project is an age-targeted village gated community that will provide for a diversity of housing product types and price ranges near the downtown core of the City of Eagle. This area of the project will consist of single-story single-family homes that are designed with the 55 and over demographic in mind. The neighborhood will include attractive landscaping, seating and gathering areas, a walking loop around the neighborhood, and a dog park. The street network is designed to create an intimate neighborhood atmosphere that invites neighbors to interact and build a sense of community. Benari's proximity to Downtown Eagle will make it easy for residents to walk or bike to community amenities such as restaurants, shopping, Eagle City Library, Post Office, and City Hall. This project will be a wonderful addition to the City of Eagle.

• Bakers Acres Subdivision located north of the proposed Benari Estates Subdivision is designated as Large Lot Residential on the comprehensive plan land use map. Large Lot Residential allows for densities of one unit/acre to one unit/two acres. Bakers Acres Subdivision contains three (3) residential lots which border the proposed development. The three (3) lots located within Bakers Acres Subdivision have an A-R (Agricultural-Residential) zoning designation with a minimum lot size of approximately 4.8 acres. As proposed, Benari Estates Subdivision contains 12 residential lots located along the shared subdivision boundary with Bakers Acres Subdivision. Six (6) residential lots are located within Block 1 west of North Boulder Ridge Avenue and the remaining six (6) lots are located east of North Boulder Ridge Avenue. In the event, Baker Acres Subdivision was re-developed in the future the highest density which could be approved pursuant to the comprehensive plan designation is one unit/acre with a minimum lot size of (3) 7,000 square feet. As proposed, the lots located adjacent to Bakers Acres Subdivision vary in size from 9, 772-square feet to 15,924 square feet with an average lot size of 11,070 square feet, which is less than one-third (1/3) of the size of the minimum lot size in the event Bakers Acres Subdivision were redeveloped. Based on the Bakers Acres Subdivision comprehensive plan land use designation, to provide lot sizing which would be more compatible with future lots within Bakers Acres Subdivision the applicant should be required to provide a revised preliminary plat and planned unit development showing two (2) residential lots removed north of West Yellowstone Court and west of North Boulder Ridge Avenue and three (3) residential lots removed north of West Yellowstone Court and east of North Boulder Ridge Avenue.
