Two-lot subdivision approved for Eagle home site without West Rush Road sidewalk
The City Council approved a plan to split a 4.84-acre property into two single-family home lots, each using a private well and septic system, and waived the sidewalk or striped path requirement on West Rush Road. Approval carries conditions, including fire sprinklers in new homes and preservation of living trees.
About this application
Greencastle Building, LLC wants to split a 4.84-acre lot at 1439 West Rush Road in Eagle into two residential lots of at least 1.8 acres each, with one single-family home on each. The lots would use private wells and septic systems and would not build a sidewalk along West Rush Road. City staff recommended denial because the Eagle Fire District does not support the plan, since West Rush Road already serves 43 homes with only one way in and out.
Greencastle Building LLC, represented by Jim Mihan with South Beck & Baird, is requesting combined preliminary/final plat approval for Academy Valley Subdivision, a 2-lot (2-buildable) residential subdivision and conditional use permit approval for a waiver of Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-7(A & F) to not require the installation of a 5-foot-wide sidewalk or a 5-foot-wide striped path on the north side of West Rush Road. The 4.84-acre site is located on the south side of West Rush Road, approximately 1,620-feet east of North Ballantyne Lane at 1439 West Rush Road. (ASG) 2026 City Council meeting.
