The proposed changes aim to enhance community needs, improve livability, cluster density within the neighborhood core, preserve open space, and maintain the character of Brush Creek Road. They also focus on improving placemaking, construction feasibility, and offering diverse housing and childcare options.

The amendment application materials, including a revised project narrative, PUD document, and response to comments letter, have been updated to address issues and concerns from the Town of Eagle Referral Response Summary Report dated 8/13/2024.

No, the total residential density will remain 837 units on approximately 660 acres. However, 59 units will be relocated within the neighborhoods.

41 units currently allowed on the school and recreation parcel are being relocated to Neighborhood C, a more central location within the heart of the neighborhood, adjacent to the central neighborhood park space and amenities in Trailhead Park. This is a more compact, efficient and sustainable use of land and provides enhanced placemaking opportunities centered around the meadow as the central community gathering place. 

18 units are being moved from Neighborhood B into Neighborhood C, because of the Sylvan Lake Road realignment, which will reduce the size of Neighborhood B by approximately 3.5 acres. This change is intended to create smaller sized neighborhoods that are walkable and bike able. In the refreshed plan, both Neighborhoods B and C are each approximately 57.4 acres. 

The amendment proposes to allow the conversion of up to 25% of single family units to multifamily units.  It is already allowed to convert 25% of multifamily to single family; this modification allows the development to adapt to market conditions and increase housing diversity and attainability.

1. The original, preferred school and recreation parcel is being restored to its original location in the 2014 PUD, immediately adjacent to the existing Mountain Recreation facility, future expanded bike park, and other amenities as indicated in the Haymaker Master Plan.  This will increase continuity of open space lands and natural corridors, consolidating public lands adjacent to the existing community center, which is a return to the originally approved PUD Development Plan.  This change is more conducive to the site topography and creates a larger open space buffer between the Haymeadow residential community and the existing Soleil neighborhood and Mountain Rec facility. 

2. The residential development currently allowed on the school and recreation parcel is being relocated to Neighborhood C, a more central location within the heart of the neighborhood, adjacent to the central neighborhood park space and amenities in Trailhead Park.  This is a more compact, efficient and sustainable use of land and provides enhanced placemaking opportunities centered around the meadow as the central community gathering place. 

3. A 1.6-acre childcare site is being added to the PUD Development Plan in Neighborhood A1, along Sylvan Lake Road, adjacent to the central Trailhead Park. 

4. The alignment of Sylvan Lake Road is being revised to create smaller neighborhood nodes, providing a more small-town feel throughout the community and creating a transition to lower density, more rural residential areas moving eastward up the valley. 

5. The land use plan is being refreshed to provide stronger connections to nature and community amenities. The Plan has been refreshed to encourage areas and spaces for people to be immersed in the natural surroundings. The proposed community amenities and density are designed to strengthen the relationship between people and the environment, bringing nature into central gathering areas and allowing for respectful connections for people into different ecosystems, including riparian areas, aspen groves, pinyon pine juniper forest, and high alpine meadows.  The Plan focuses on providing habitat for pollinators and animal habitats that support wildlife. Water will be an important part of the natural ecosystems and enhanced willow corridors and drainage systems will flow through the site. 

Yes, an additional 1.6-acre childcare site will be added in Neighborhood A1, along with maintaining all existing community benefits, including deed-restricted attainable housing units.

The refreshed plan focuses on integrating natural ecosystems into central gathering areas and enhancing habitats for pollinators and wildlife, while also providing various trails and community amenities.

The Haymeadow neighborhood will feature an expanded trail network with paved and soft surface trails, connecting to the larger Town trail system and providing multiple access points and a natural trail hierarchy.

No changes are proposed to the wildlife corridor and berm along the eastern edge of Haymeadow, which will continue to buffer the site from adjacent Eagle County Open Space lands.

The amendment will not create new adverse environmental impacts, as it maintains open space designations for wetlands, riparian areas, and wildlife habitats. The level of disturbance will remain similar to the original approval.

The overall traffic volumes will remain unchanged, with updated analyses showing manageable additional trips generated by the childcare center. The site will accommodate parking and drop-off/pick-up needs.

There will be no significant changes in demand or capacity. The addition of a childcare center will increase water demand and wastewater effluent volumes by an estimated 3,600 gallons per day, but existing infrastructure can accommodate this.

Yes, the proposed changes align with the plan's core themes and maintain compliance with the Future Land Use map, ensuring a mix of housing types, preserving unique character, enhancing recreational amenities, and protecting open space.

The amendment must demonstrate efficient development, no adverse effects on adjoining lands, no special benefits to individuals, compatibility with approved uses, no substantial changes to open space plans, and coordination with existing street and utility plans.
