A. Discussion reeardine fees for municipal pIavine field reservations/maintenance
fees. This item was continuedfrom the January 24, 2005 meetings.
Mayor introduces the issue.
JeffSchwers, Fields Coordinator West Valley Little League, as a member of the Parks &
Pathway Committee it was brought to our attention that there was discussion about fees at
the Hill Road Park. We are in a crunch for fields. Out league has grown about 25%. We
have 840 registered. Last year we had 700 registered, boys and girls. Fields have been an
issue. It is not in our Leagues budget for field use, we are a volunteer organization. We
have assessed a field assessment fee in our registration. Weare using these fees to put in
fields at the Nazarene Church. Most of the other leagues in our little league area are in
Boise City. Discussion on the field complexes within the City of Boise. I know the
leagues help maintain the fields and I don't believe that they pay a fee. We want to be
fair and help out any way that we can. Discussion on baseball and soccer leagues. Being
the only organized league in Eagle we would hope that we could have priority at certain
times. Our games are played every night and some Saturday leagues that could to all day.

K:\COUNCIL\MINUTESITemporary Minutes Work AreaICC-O2-0S.05min.doc
approximately 800-feet west of State Highway 55 (phase 2 is located east of phase 1 at
the eastern terminus of Sadie Drive).
Mayor introduces the issue.
Council Member Sedlacek Abstains from the discussion on this item.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: Displays overheads and discusses conditions of approval
and the overall project. General discussion.
Mayor swears in Fred Schumacher
Fred Schumacher, representing the applicant, I was not here nor was Mr. Patterson at the
last couple of hearings of the Design Review Board because I sense that the Design
Review Board may have gotten distracted by the failure of the developer to maintain the
berm. Discussion on the berm history and the overall project. The developer is shrinking
the number of lots in Phase II from 17 to 8. This is not back peddling or shrinking from
the obligations of Condition #23 to construct all of the improvements or bond for them.
They do want to adjust and move around some of the common area improvements. On
the East side of Sadie where it intersects with Echo Hawk extended, Mr. Vaughn showed
you the pocket park, that happens to be a slight redesign. Kind of an unspecific set of
improvements that was originally required, landscaping, irrigation, berm and fence
combination, the developer is still adhering to all of those obligations. The best estimate
of Doug Patterson for those uncompleted improvements is about $125,000 which would
require a bond on the order of $200,000. I think the amount ofthe bond is something Mr.
Vaughan and the developer can resolve. The Developer is prepared to go beyond what
the conditions currently require as the City now has a new ordinance that puts a time
cIock on how long the bond can be out there. The Developer has authorized me to
commit tonight that the improvements will be completed, all of the common area
improvements by November 1 st, the pocket park improvements that you saw by July 1 st
(2005). The pocket park improvements, a portion of the common area, those
improvements will be in, installed, completed by July 1 st, all of the common area
improvements, the berm running parallel to the east of the subdivision & west of
Highway 55 right-of-way, will be done by November 1 st. We are prepared to make that
additional commitment tonight. There has been some movement of common area
improvements as Mr. Vaughan indicated. There isn't any room for playground
equipment because the retention pond was expanded so it consumes almost the entire
area. Then the developer installed on a voluntary basis a water amenity to beautify the
entrance to the subdivision. So we are talking about installing two picnic benches/tables.
The Developer is proposing that they be installed in this area. The Developer is then
proposing that the Tot Lot improvements be moved and installed by July 1 st in the pocket
park area. Mr. Doug Patterson is here and he has been acting as the Construction
Manager.
General discussion.
Doug Patterson, applicant, discusses connecting to Eagle Water for their water source.
Eagle Water has a line by Phase II and we will probably have to tap into that on another
meter. General discussion.

Further Council discussion.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: The water feature did not go through Design Review.
The drainage swell to the north was the subject of much discussion with ACHD and the
City Engineer. An open space plan for Phase II, the entire park area and the park, needs
to be completed and reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board and the
Council. General discussion.
Bastian moves to approve DR-144-04 - Common Area Landscaping within Ringo
Ridge Sub. No 2 (previously Arbor Ridge) -AND- Discussion regarding site specific
condition No. 10 for DR-34-01 - Common Area Landscaping within Arbor Ridge
Subdivision No.1 with the following Site Specific Conditions added: #7 Phase II
shall include an open space plan that shall be submitted to the Design Review Board
for approval including all of the area East of Echo Hawk Way over to the berm that
will be on the Easterly side along Highway 55, design the berm and open space per
Site Specific Condition #23, that this will be accomplished prior to sign the final
plan; Site Specific Condition #8. That the small pocket park on the Southwest
corner of Phase I will include benches and tables as shown on the cut sheet this
evening and will include a water feature as current installed and with the pathway
leading down to Hill Road Park. Seconded by Nordstrom. Discussion.
Fred Schumacher: Thinking about the home buyer, maybe we could require the seller,
the developer and all the realtors to disclose in any earnest money agreement the pertinent
facts regarding the fact that all of the common area improvements have to be completed
by November 1 before the City will issue any building permits.
City Attorney: That should be a written condition. That type of a notice will be included
in all sales documents.
Jason Mayer, builder of homes in this subdivision: I'm wondering when the building
permits would be able to be issued for Phase II?
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: When the final plat was recorded.
Further discussion.
Bastian amends the Motion to add Site Specific Condition #9. The small pocket park
to the southwest will be completed by July 1st and all other open space and common
area park and open space berm to the east of the development will be completed by
November 1, 2005. Seconded by Nordstrom. ALL AYES: MOTION

Seconded by Sedlacek. ALL AYES: MOTION CARRIES............................
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: I'm requesting that you reconsider this item and remand
back to staff and it will then be brought back to Council. It gives staff with Ron Bath the
opportunity to go back to the applicant and request some architectural revisions to be in
compliance with the craftsman style in the EASD book and in accordance with Ron's
requirements. This is a building in Winding Creek Development. From this point
forward, every application in Winding Creek has to have a memo or letter from Ron
approving the architecture and Ron wants to see compliance with EASD book in this
development and the CC&R's require that also. This was a building that Ron had
provided preliminary approval on but needed to see the final plans and he did not get a
chance to sign off from the final plans before it came to the City.

In conjunction with the Blueprint for Good Growth,
a project of Ada County governments.
COMMUNITIES IN MOTION Land Use Scenarios
15ac•k0-rOun(1
The six -county region will have almost $1.25 billion
available over the next 25 nears to improve and expand the
transportation system. Today we spend approximately 9000 of
our available transportation improvement funds on roadways
and the remaining 1000 is spent to provide transit within the
region.
Participants at the November workshops provided sev-
eral ideas for improving the transportation system over the next
25 to 50 years, including development of public rail transit along
the existing rail corridor between Nampa and Boise, and con-
struction of a new limited access road that would go around part
of the more urban areas of the region. Each idea requires be-
tween 20"o and 5000 of the available funds to build and operate
fir 25 years. 'Therefore, it is unlikely both could be accom-
plished.
The February workshops will focus on transportation
and include the ideas developed by participants at the November
workshops. To start, the group %%ill discuss and choose which
land -use scenario best represents their desired future: Workshop
Average, Satellite Cities, Concentrated Mixed -else Corridors,
or -Trend. Participants will then select a "package" of transporta-
tion improvements from a choice of three. One package will

Workshop Average
A "middle of the road" scenario with a
development pattern that is dense in some
locations and dispersed in others. The
scenario reflects the average distribution
from the November workshops.
Satellite Cities
Growth is evenly dispersed throughout the
region. Smaller towns grow into complete
self-sustaining cities with a mix of housing
and employment. A new town forms
adjacent to 1-84 south of Boise.
Concentrated Mixed -Use Corridors
Growth concentrates along high-capacity,
multi -modal transportation corridors,
becoming the most concentrated growth
scenario with the highest mix of alternative
transportation options.
Trend
Growth continues as it is now, with many of
the farms and rural areas converted to
residential development. The majority of
jobs will be in Ada County, mainly in Boise.
Communities will grow together as farm
land is filled with development.

REGIONAL LONG - RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2030
Communities in Motion
Fact Sheet
What is Communities in Motion?
Communities in Motion is an evaluation of regional growth and transportation issues and needs in Ada,
Canyon, Elmore, Boise, Gem, and Payette Counties. COMPASS, the metropolitan planning organization
(MPO), is responsible for the regional long-range transportation plan required for the urbanized areas within
Ada and Canyon Counties under federal law. These laws require the MPO to prepare and adopt a plan and
update it every three years, in order to use federal funds for transportation within the planning area. The Idaho
Transportation Department is responsible for the state system planning of the rural counties (Elmore, Boise,
Gem and Payette.)
Why was the region for Communities in Motion expanded?
The project started as a plan for Ada and Canyon
Counties. In autumn 2003, the Idaho Transportation
Department requested that the planning area be
expanded to better address issues regionally. The
expanded area was based partly on the regional
commuting patterns. The regional focus allows the plan
to:
•
•
Focus on corridor level issues
Serve as a basis for seeking major federal
assistance
• Integrate with Idaho Transportation Department
plans
• Address "beyond the border" transportation
issues

Do the new areas now included have to be members of COMPASS?
No, the study results will be used in preparing the official metropolitan planning organization plan. Portions of
the study area outside Ada and Canyon will be used by the Idaho Transportation Department in their planning.
Local governments in Elmore, Boise, Gem and Payette will participate in the study but will not review or
approve the Ada/Canyon plan.

COMMUNITIES IN MOTION—'
How will Cornfnunities in Motion be different than prior transportation plans?
Communities in Motion will differ from past plans because it will:
• Start with broad evaluation of growth and transportation issues -not a laundry list of projects.
• Stress policy - not projects as a way to reach to goals of our future communities.
• Include peak hour and mode choice model to evaluate public transportation and other travel demand
policies such as pricing on the transportation system.
• Address Transportation Management Area requirements for congestion management.
• Use multiple growth scenarios -not a single view of future growth.
• Emphasize project priority criteria to guide future funding decisions during development of the annual
Transportation Improvement Program.
What is the cost for the plan?
In addition to the staff time of 3-4 work years per year on the plan, Si million will support technical
consulting services. Half of these funds have been provided by the Idaho Transportation Department.
COMPASS will contribute federal planning funds toward consultant work, and Valley Regional Transit has
provided $200,000 in transit planning funds to improve the travel demand forecast model.
This compares to $1.7 million spent on consultant work during Bench Valley or the $1 million plus for the
Three Cities River Crossing Study.
How much is the region expected to grow?
More than 300,000 new residents are expected to move to Ada and Canyon County between 2002 and 2030.
The estimates for each city and rural county are listed in the table below. The distribution could change by the
end of the process, depending on the outcome of the growth scenario process.
We can also anticipate 460,000 new jobs in the two -county area with most (388,000) in Ada County. This can
change, however, by creating more jobs in Canyon County, also alleviating some of the congestion on our
roadways.

*Based on the areas of impact.
Why should I be involved?
Transportation project can take many years to complete. Since we anticipate that our population will continue
to grow, we need to plan for the future now. Communities in Motion, along with Blueprint for Good Growth
in Ada County, can make a difference in how we develop our resources now and in the future, which will
make a difference in how the transportation system develops as well.
Communities in Motion is a completely new plan and will be updated periodically for the next decade or more.
Your involvement and understanding today is important for acceptance and implementation in the future.
Please participate!
Where can I get more information?

Facts about projected growth in Ada and Canyon counties
If growth and development continue in the current pattern, it will be possible to drive through
Southwest Idaho and not be able to tell when you've left one town and entered another because
residential growth will have blurred the boundaries.
Ada County:
• By 2030, Ada County's total population is expected to Increase to 548,2I0 — a jump of
some 220,000 people (a population larger than present-day Canyon County) or 68
percent.
• In 2002, 3.2 percent of houses were in the rural areas. By 2030, 25 percent of houses will
be there.
• Over the next 25 years, the Boise and Eagle are expected CO have fast -paced growth rates
(46 and 76 percent, respectively), while unincorporated Ada County will likely experience
historic rates of growth.
• The projected population increases will be larger by both percentages and in real numbers
than the population jumps between the I990 Census and Census 2000, previously
considered the county's "boom" period.
• Following current housing densities by area, the population increase will require the
development of an additional 45 square miles within Ada County — an amount of acreage
that is unavailable in and immediately adjacent to the Boise River Valley.
Canyon County:
• In 2002, 24 percent of houses were in Canyon County's rural areas. By 2030, 34 percent
of houses will be there.
• By 2030, 87 percent of the land in the rural areas of Canyon County will be taken by
housing.
Other issues:
• The design of' the current growth does not support alternative transportation. If the design
and pattern of development doesn't change, traffic congestion will increase significantly
because people will rely on cars to take them where they need to go.
• "Sprawl" puts a strain on emergency services such as police, sheriff and fire. It increases
costs to local school districts because of busing.
