Council Member Bastian: Reports on the Legislature and the Garvey Bonds. There are no funds available for next years budget. The Federal Government's funding for highway projects is flat.

Funding of roadways is a big issue and the taxpayers may have to step up and say that they will pay additional taxes. Further discussion. John Johnston, 1200 Beverly Drive, last week I proposed a rezone on my land and you chose not to do that. I would like to ask you to reconsider this tonight. I would like the opportunity to bring more of the neighbors. City Attorney Buxton: As you know the City does not have an ordinance that allows for reconsideration. The City would have to follow Roberts Rules of Order, the maker of the motion would have to agree to reconsider, and the second would have to agree. This is truly a discretionary matter for the board. General Council discussion. Council Member Bandy: I was the maker of the motion and do not wish to reconsider. Further Council discussion.

PRO/CON ' low& Artist Amber Gonger's Guardian bench (on right) (steel and stainless steel bench) was inspired by the concept of a fortress or watch -tower from an- other time and place... guarding against danger and offering sanctuary to any in need. The shining stainless steel bench will contrast with the rough, heavy texture of the steel towers protected by the strength." Amber Gonger's Water's Journey (on left) (steel with bronze welds, stainless steel, and copper) - The artist's inspiration is "clear spring water glistening in the sun forever mak- ing its way through the rugged mountain peaks of Idaho. Stainless steel to represent the water: shining and everlasting. The sun represented by a glowing sphere of copper: to remain bright for many years and gradually fade into a moon as the copper develops a natural patina over many years. The beautiful mountains of Idaho are depicted as jagged steel peaks with accents of shimmering bronze: the steel will develop a rich rust patina as it gradually embraces autumn and shows its hidden colors. Girlfriends - Artist Paula Taylor's description is -girlfriends sitting together on a (welded steel structure) bench enjoying the sights and sounds of Eagle and each others' company." Each girlfriend will be cut out of 3/16 recy- cled steel and will be cut in in three separate parts -head and torso, lap, legs. Artist Amanda Reisinger's bench is "a symbolic interpretation of the growth and prosperity experienced by this city in the past few years. The back of my bench is a visual representa- tion of growth that mirrors the evolution of Eagle. The human form on the left represents a small child growing into an adult. Next the egg becomes a bird, the sampling becomes a tree, and the house becomes a city. Finally the small heart represents what was once loved by a small number of people is now loved by a massive population." The artist, Irene Deely, de- scribes the bench on the left called "River Rock" as reflect- ing "two significant natural asset of the city of Eagle inte- grated into a form the public can interact with while reflect- ing nature against a city- scape..." Three stone forms will be fabricated from stainless steel with a translu- cent resin seat. G'. Irene Deely's "Heir's Chairs'' are a "tribute to Eagle's recent historical past by immortalizing a system of hits hardwork- ing farmers who fur- rowed the rich soil of Eagle's river valley. Artist Peter DeVore's bench is made out of a black walnut slab from a downed tree at the First Baptist Church of Eagle. Artist will maintain the bench for the rest of its life. A photo of the slab is available at Eagle City Hall. Artist Darrin Fuchs bench is constructed of steel with a beautiful eagle base coated in an antique bronze color. The columns con- sist of two with wave designs and one with a wave and fish design. Artist Rick Straun uses slate for this style of bench (see photo above) for the bench. The bench will require no maintenance. "Time only enhances their natural beauty. All designs are original. hand cut , and shaped. No com- puter design or cutting is used.

Franden, President Rebecca W. Amold, Vice President Sherry R. Huber, Commissioner Dave Bivens, Commissioner C< of A. j�lcKee,iLompissioner RECEIVED & FILED CITY OF EAGLE FEB 2 0 2007 File. RGittuia e-mail Annexation & Zoning for Multi -family residential condominium project EA-15-06/ERZ-20-06 s/w/c Old Valley Road & Linder Road Ada County Highway District (ACHD) Planning Review staff received the Eagle City staff report and conceptual site plan for the above referenced project on February 15, 2007. For an unknown reason, ACHD did not receive the original application transmittal for this project, and therefore did not generate a letter in response to this application. The purpose of this letter is to briefly respond to the submitted application in order that the Eagle City Council might be able to take a final action on the submitted request at this evening's City Council meeting. Typically, ACHD provides general comments for annexation and zoning requests so that the City would be able to make an informed decision. ACHD will provide site specific conditions of approval upon receipt of the design review application. The project is estimated to include 74 condominium units on approximately 23 -acres. The development would generate an estimated 433 additional vehicle trips per day based on the residential condominium/townhouse land use designation. The site is located on the southwest corner of Old Valley Road and Linder Road. The site has approximately 640 -feet of frontage on Old Valley Road, a local street. The site has approximately 1,730 -feet of frontage on Linder Road, a minor arterial roadway. Old Valley Road intersects Linder Road, approximately 200 -feet south of the signalized intersection of Linder Road and State Highway 44. The District will be preserving right-of-way on Linder Road for a future five -lane roadway (48 -feet of right-of-way from section line). The District will also require the construction of a 5 -foot detached concrete sidewalk on Linder Road abutting the site. The proposed conceptual plan identifies one access point to Old Valley Road and one access point to Linder Road. The access points and all of the internal street system are proposed to be private. Typically the District does not allow a private roadway to connect two public roadways creating a de -facto public roadway system (i.e. connecting Old Valley Road and Linder Road via a private street). In review of the site and the surrounding un -developed property to the west, there may be a need to re -locate Old Valley Road south of its existing intersection with Linder Road, and continue the roadway through the site as a stub street to the west. The District could possibly consider exchanging the right-of-way for the existing Old Valley Road for a new public roadway through the site. If Old Valley Road remains in its current location, it could possibly be restricted to a right - Ada County Highway District • 3775 Adams Street • Garden City, ID • 83714 • PH 208-387-6100 • FX 345-7650 • www.achd.ada.id.us in/right-out only intersection with Linder Road. This type of facility would not be conducive to serving the neighborhood connectivity needs for the un -developed property to the west of this site.
