John, Petrofsky, 4831 Willow Creek Road, Chairman of the North Ada County Foothills
Association, we have been pursuing from day one is traffic. I think the city is in a position to
offer suggestions to ACHD, ITD and Compass as to the movement of traffic. You are in the best
position to take us the rest of the way. We should approach ACHD, ITD, and Compass to
provide us traffic plans for this area.
General discussion transportation and traffic analysis.
Bill Brownlee, M3 Companies, The visual presentation was very well done. This is a very
complex area encompassing a lot of different land forms and one density does not encompass the
whole area. We would like to marriage the Council goals with site specific planning. This
would be a very useful exercise. General discussion. Right now we have a regional traffic study.

Onnortunities & Constraints within the Eagle Foothills
The 35,000 acre area just north of the Eagle area of impact lies between two state
Highways (16 & 55) with only one improve road (Willow Creek/Eagle Road)in the over
7 mile expanse traversing through the Eagle downtown. Development at any level within
the Eagle Foothills will have impacts on the City of Eagle and its residents
The City was determined to look at the elements of the Eagle Foothills that make them
unique and use those elements to determine where development should or should not
occur. The opportunities and constraints data used by the city for this mapping process
came from multiple sources including Ada County, developers, landowners and
neighborhood groups. The final maps consisted of the following:
Composite of Ownership (public vs. private)
Recreation
Land Cover
Slope
Floodway
Hydrology
Big Game
Mountain Quail
Sensitive Plants
Composite of Ownership (Fi eure 1)
Ownership was divided into two broad categories private and public. Private land is the
single largest category representing over 84% of the land within the foothills. Public land
included County equaling less than 1% of the area, State equaling 3% of the area and the
Federal government (BLM) equaling 11% of the area. It is important to note that the
Idaho State land within the Eagle Foothills is endowment land intended to provide
funding for schools and may not be intended for preservation.
Ownership
Percent of
Owner Count (Parcels) Acres Area
Private 1100 30320.96 85%
Ada County 3 228.86 1%
Idaho 6 1124.10 3%
USA 32 4039.97 11%
TOTAL 35,713.89 100%
Ownership in the Foothills is an important factor since the Ada County Planned
Community Ordinance establishes a minimum area of 640 acres for a planned
community. Within this threshold there is enough privately owned land for 47 separate
planned communities.
Recreation (Figure 2)
The Eagle foothills serve as a prime recreation area for hiker, bikers and horsemen
providing over 135 miles of informal trials on primarily private land. Two informal trail
heads are located within the Foothills one located on private land off Willow Creek Road
and one on the BLM parcel that the City is wishing to acquire at the northern terminus of
Hartley Lane north of the Farmers Union Canal. In recent years access to a number of
trails has been reduce due to fencing by both the development and grazing communities.
Land Cover (Figure 3),
Land Cover is an understanding of the existing terrain and the ground cover that is
predominant in the area today. The categories of ground cover include agriculture, grass,
riparian , rock, shrubs and agricultural. This data was derived from aerial photography
and the development community's onsite surveys of their land. From this base data
typical land type was then extrapolated to the overall foothills based upon similar
environments.
Land Cover
Type Acres
Agriculture 925.18
Disturbed 5170.55
Grass 21892.16
Riparian 196.86
Rock 19.82
Shrubs 7485.84
Slope (Figure 4)
The Existing City has very few places that slopes above 10% become a concern of
development and land capability. Slope within the Eagle Foothills was broken down into
three broad categories:
0-15%- Slopes that are generally suitable for development
15-25% - Slopes that need a general review prior to disturbance
25% -Slopes that require additional site specific data prior to disturbance
Overall the area east of Willow Creek Road see more variation in slope with the western
area have more prominent drainages and valley areas. The overall distribution of slope is
as follows:
Slope
Degree Slope Acres
Less than 15% 19,347
15-25% 8,825
Greater than 25% 7,559
Floodwav (Figure 5)
The floodway within the Eagle Foothills is a an non -delineated 100year flood plain
requiring site specific survey and confirmation to FEMA. The Floodplains within the
area are associated with Woods Gulch, Little Gulch, Big Gulch, and Willow Creek. Dry
Creek is located within the planning area and has been surveyed by FEMA. Dry Creek is
within the existing area of City impact and has a detailed floodway, 100 year floodplain
and 500 year floodplain.

Dry Creek 143.42
Total 1130.87
500 year Dry Creek
63.31
Total 63.31
Hydrology (Figure 5)
The Hydrology in the Eagle Foothill seems extensive at the initial review but upon
further research it is evident that the foothills are covered with intermittent streams that
due to annual precipitation and or season runoff may not be visible on the site. Most of
the intermittent streams are associated with the topography and slope of the area and feed
into the larger streams, some intermittent as well, Woods Gulch, Little Gulch, Big Gulch
and Willow Creek.
Theoretical Big Game (Figure 6)
Big Game Habitat was one of the hardest resources to map. Overall the data for this map
came from the development community and onsite surveys of the land and land type that
was then extrapolated to the overall foothills. Unlike the Fish and Game unit 39 located
east of Highway 55 where there is reliable surveys of deer establishing a clear winter
range area West of Highway 55, Unit 32, is not as clear. Over the past 10 years Idaho
Fish& Game surveys of big game within the Eagle Foothills has been limited and the
number of animal and the extent of the winter range has not been clearly identified.
Further Survey and identification of areas of animal migration will be necessary for this
area.

community and onsite surveys of the land and land type that was then extrapolated to the
overall foothills.
Mountain Quail
Type Acres
Brooding Cover 450.01
Escape Cover 14841.74
Sensitive Plants (Figure 8)
The data concerning sensitive species was derived from the Idaho Conservation Data
center and similar to Mountain Quail and big game, some data for this map came from
the development community and onsite surveys of the land and land type that was then
extrapolated to the overall foothills.
The Sensitive species within the Eagle Foothills include Aases's onion and Slick Spot
Peppergrass. Both Species are considered threatened but not endangered. Plant species
are considered the property of the owner of the land upon which they are growing. Local
ordinances may require the landowner to provide some level of protection if that
landowner is undertaking a development project on the land. In some jurisdictions there
may also be tax advantages (e.g. open space credits) to having a rare plant species on
your property, as long as you manage the site appropriately.
Sensitive Plants
Type Acres
Aase's Onion 711.67
Slick Spot Peppergrass 44.19
Final Opportunities and Constraints Map: (Figure 13)
The final Opportunities and Constraints Map was developed by layering the following
resources maps together:
Ownership
Slope
Floodway
Theoretical Big Game Habitat
Theoretical Mountain Quail Habitat
Sensitive Plant
Visual Sensitivity
The developability ranking was established as so that if one or less (0-1) elements were
present the area had a high opportunity for development (green), if two (2) elements were
present the area had a medium high opportunity for development (yellow), if three (3)
elements were present the area was moderately constrained for development (Orange)
and finally if four (4+) elements were present the area was highly constrained for
development (red).
The final opportunities and constraints map was used in part and in whole by the work
group for the scenario building process.

EAST STATE STREET AREA
URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE
CITY OF EAGLE
BY
HARLAN W. MANN
CONSULTANT
October 4, 2006
h:Vudy1WPDATA\Eag1e\East State Street Area Eligibility Report.doc October 10, 2006 (1:30PM)
EAST STATE STREET AREA
URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
BACKGROUND
The City of Eagle ("City") authorized preparation of the subject report on August
22, 2006. The report will provide the technical support for two policy decisions by the Mayor
and Eagle City Council ("City Council"). The first is that one or more deteriorating or
deteriorated areas exist in the City of Eagle. The second decision is that the East State Street
Area as defined on the attached map is a deteriorating and deteriorated area and is appropriate for
an urban renewal project.
The area is generally bounded by South Parkinson Street on the east; State Highway 44
on the south; South Edgewood Road, East State Street, and Academy Avenue on the west; and
on the north by East Bishop Way and East Syringa Street.
Idaho Code Section 50-2008(a) states:
An urban renewal project for an urban renewal area shall not
be planned or initiated unless the local governing body has, by
resolution, determined such area to be a deteriorated area or a
deteriorating area or a combination thereof and designated such area
as appropriate for an urban renewal project.
Hence, Step One in planning a new renewal project is a resolution by the City Council making
certain findings about a specific geographic area in the City. This resolution would also
authorize the City's urban renewal agency ("Agency") to prepare an urban renewal plan for the
area. The attached definitions of deteriorating area and urban renewal project are very pertinent

PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 1
Step Two in the renewal planning process is action by the Agency to prepare an urban
renewal plan and recommend its approval to the City Council.
The City Council initiates Step Three by referring the Urban Renewal Plan to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and setting a public hearing to review the Plan. Step Three is
completed by a Planning and Zoning Commission finding that the urban renewal plan conforms
to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Step Four is the adoption of a City Council ordinance approving the Urban Renewal Plan,
after a public hearing.
DISCUSSION
This report focuses on whether the East State Street Area, as previously described and as
outlined on the attached map, qualifies as a deteriorating area pursuant to Idaho Code
Section 50-2018(9) and as a deteriorated area pursuant to Section 50-2903(8)(b) under virtually
identical definitions. A copy of this joint definition is attached. The first statutory reference is
from the basic urban renewal statute, while the second comes from the revenue allocation law.
In addition, the report will discuss why the area is appropriate for an urban renewal
project.
A. Present Conditions
The attached definition of deteriorating area and deteriorated area [Idaho Code
§ 50-2018(9) and § 50-2903(8)(b)] lists ten different conditions that may be present in such an
area, with the tenth being the catch-all "any combination of such factors." The presence of these
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 2
conditions was documented by field trips on September 28 and 29, 2006, contacts with various
City officials, and assessor file information. Then the area and its public infrastructure were
evaluated, and the numbers that correspond to the applicable characteristics in the definition were
placed at the appropriate locations on the attached map.
B. Deteriorating/Deteriorated Area Characteristics
The following is a listing of conditions found in the area by their corresponding numbers
in the definition and a brief explanation of that condition and how it was evaluated and
identified:
1. (1) A substantial number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures. Given their
age and condition, most of the structures in the area would be evaluated as deteriorating. Newer
buildings and those that were substantially rehabilitated within the last five to ten years are not
considered deteriorating. Deteriorated buildings would be those that are so run down that they
should be demolished, allowing the land to be recycled for other uses. No deteriorated buildings
were identified in the area. Most of the structures in the area are single -family homes. These are
found in the subdivision north of East Dunyan Street between South Conover and East Parkinson
Street. The water company identified the subdivision as Randall Acres 15. This subdivision has
mostly stick-built homes, but there are several small, 6-10 unit mobile home parks and some
individual mobile homes.
The area between East State Street and State Highway 44 contains several mobile home
parks, with 50-60 total units. These units appear to be of the older variety. The number "1"
appears at representative locations in both of these areas to indicate the presence of deteriorating
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 3
structures. The other locations where number "1" appears are buildings designated as
deteriorating. Examples include several of the older buildings on West State Street.
2. (2) Predominance of defective or inadequate street layout. East State Street,
Edgewood Road, and State Highway 44 are the primary streets that serve the area. East
Parkinson Street, East Syringa Street, South Conover Street, and East McGrath Road provide
internal circulation. None of these streets would be considered defective or inadequate to any
major degree.
3. (3) Faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility, or usefulness.
This characteristic applies primarily to the long, narrow parcel north of East State Street and east
of Academy Avenue and the three parcels south of the first parcel on the south side of East State
Street.
4. (4) Insanitary or unsafe conditions. There are a number of conditions existing
within the proposed urban renewal area that apply to this characteristic. Typical insanitary
conditions include excessive amounts of junk, trash, and weeds in violation of the City's
minimum property maintenance code. Often the most significant insanitary condition occurs in
areas that lack sanitary sewers or where the sanitary sewer system has insufficient capacity.
According to the Eagle Sewer District, most of the sewers in the area are fairly new and provide
adequate service.
The designation "4T" appears on the map at several locations to indicate trashy
conditions on the property.
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 4
There are numerous unsafe conditions throughout the area. Most are found with the street
systems and include lack of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters; narrow, inadequate streets; and lack of
or inadequate street lights. Street lights were lacking on Conover Street , Dunyon Street,
McGrath Road, and Elliott Street. The only sidewalks in the area served the two new
developments on West State Street and Edgewood Road. Therefore, the designation "4ST"
appears on the map along most of the streets and indicates unsafe conditions, primarily the lack
of sidewalks.
5. (5) Deterioration of site and other improvements. Site improvements include
parking lots, fences, and landscaping areas, basically things other than structures that make up a
developed property. The term "other improvements" is the place where public improvements
such as streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, bridges, storm drains, water mains, sanitary sewers, and
public facilities such as swimming pools and public buildings are included. When the number
"5" appears on the map on street rights-of-way, it denotes those streets are deteriorated, either
entirely or in part. Visual inspections are used to make these designations. When the number
appears on real property, that denotes deteriorated site improvements, usually parking lots for
already improved properties. Several properties have a number "5" on them because of the
condition of their parking lots. The mobile home parks on McGrath Road and East State Street
also have this designation because the parking areas were not paved.
6. (6) Diversity of ownership. Typically this characteristic is present when an area
that needs to be redeveloped because of rundown buildings is divided into a number of different
ownerships. It could also occur where existing businesses are hindered in expanding because of
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 5
the number of adjacent property ownerships. Multiple ownerships are more difficult for
developers to assemble. The MU -zoned property between East State Street and Dunyon Street
received this designation because of its ownership and development patterns.
7. (7) Tax and special assessment delinquency exceedine the fair value of the land.
This characteristic does not apply to the area.
8. (8) Defective and unusual conditions of title. These conditions have not been
found in the area.
9. (9) The existence of conditions which endaneer life or property by fire and other
causes. The primary focus of this characteristic is inadequate fire protection facilities,
particularly fire hydrants for existing and new development. The hydrant problem is present in
the Randall Acres 15 area except for a short section of Parkinson Street between East State Street
and the canal. Therefore, a number "9F" appearing on the map in that location indicates a lack of
adequate fire protection facilities.
10. (10) Any combination of such factors. This number is placed on all areas where
two or more of the other characteristics are present.
C. Effects of Present Conditions
1. (a) Results in economic underdevelopment of the area. Field review and aerial
photography show several examples of underdeveloped property. Parcels on both sides of North
Edgewood Lane fit this description.
2. (b) Substantially impairs or arrests the sound erowth of a municipality.
Substantial areas on both sides of Edgewood are poised for redevelopment, but North Edgewood
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 6
Lane needs to be upgraded. If North Edgewood Lane were improved to eliminate the unsafe
conditions by adding full curb, gutter, and sidewalk treatment, the result could be faster
development. When the City is unable to meet infrastructure needs for extended periods of time,
there is less incentive for the private sector to invest in new development. Thus the sound
growth of the City is adversely affected.
3. (c) Retards the provision of housing accommodations or (d) constitutes an
economic or social liability. Older commercial and residential areas often suffer from an
inadequate public infrastructure. This area has significant problems with the street systems. The
longer adequate public infrastructure is delayed, the more new private development will be
discouraged. Hence, generation of increased property and other taxes will decline, so the area
will become an economic liability for the City and the other taxing district.
4. (e) And is a menace to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare in its present
condition or use. The previous discussion has established that this area has had slower growth
and, as a result, has become a modest economic liability. In addition, the unsafe condition of the
street system creates safety problems for the residents and businesses. Accordingly, these
conditions represent a menace or threat to the public welfare or prosperity and safety of the
community.
D. Appropriateness of the Area for an Urban Renewal Project
The second part of the City Council's determination is the policy decision of whether or
not the area is appropriate for an urban renewal project.
EAST STATE STREET AREA URBAN RENEWAL ELIGIBILITY REPORT
PREPARED FOR THE CITY OF EAGLE - 7
Note that part of the definition of an urban renewal project includes, "undertakings and
activities of a municipality in an urban renewal area for the elimination of deteriorated and
deteriorating areas." This report has provided evidence that the East State Street Area is a
deteriorating area because of the presence of various conditions, most of which are related to the
public infrastructure. Either public infrastructure is older and needs to be replaced and/or
upgraded or it is inadequate to serve existing and new development. In either case, the result is
the same, existing development is often discouraged from upgrading and expanding, and new
development is often slowed or thwarted because of the lack of necessary public infrastructure.
In this area, there has been some new development on North Edgewood Lane, but the mobile
home parks fronting on East State Street and McGrath Road still provide a negative image for the
City that may discourage other more difficult private redevelopment efforts.
Fortunately the preparation and approval of an urban renewal plan for this new area will
give the City additional resources to solve the public infrastructure problems in this area. Tax
increment revenue from the new developments on North Edgewood Lane and West State Street
could help to improve the situation. In effect, property taxes generated by new developments
within the total area may be used by the City's urban renewal agency to finance a variety of
needed public improvements. Public-private partnership between the Agency and developers
could encourage other new private developments. Finally, some of the new developments may
also generate new jobs in the community that would, in turn, benefit City residents.

CONCLUSION
This report concludes that the East State Street Area described in this report is a
deteriorating and deteriorated area and, as such, is appropriate for an urban renewal project.

NOTES
Plant species are considered the property of the owner
of the land upon which they are growing. Local
ordinances may require the landowner to provide some
level of protection if that landowner is undertaking a
development project on the land. In some jurisdictions
there may also be tax advantages (e.g. open space
credits) to having a rare plant species on your property,
as long as you manage the site appropriately.

Scenario 2 used the community values map as the
starting point and from there, used the resource
maps to better integrate:
--Trading of public lands for a better open space
network
— Placing development in less visually sensitive
areas
— Establishing regional open space/wildlife corridors
— Providing and preserving a regional loop trail
system
— Creating an east -west connection between
Highway 55 and Highway 16 to diminish the
