present.
3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
4. PUBLIC COMMENT: John Petrovsky, Chairman of the North Ada County Foothills
Association, I would like to discussion the process that is going on with the comprehensive plan.
The basis of the concern is that we were told that no action would be taken on major
development proposals ahead of the comprehensive plan for the foothills being done. We find
that preliminary approvals are occurring on a major development proposal up there at the
Planning and Zoning Commission level out of context with the plan.
City Attorney Buxton: There are existing applications before the City and the Planning and
Zoning Commission so with regard to anything that Mr. Petrovsky has questions with regarding
procedure on those things I don't believe it is incumbent for the City Council to hear those at this
time those could be potential appeals for the Council. This is not a property procedure. General
discussion.
Basically what you have, you have one large land owner, M3, who had filed about a year ago an
application for a comprehensive plan amendment to have our comp plan amended to include their
property which was outside of the planning area at that time and thereafter the City thought it
would make sense because we had interest from other large land holders in the foothills with
interest in looking at the City. The City decided to initiate its own Comp Plan for the BLM
parcel that we have an application for a regional park and also a comprehensive foothills plan
and we have other applications in the area from SunCor for their own comprehensive plan
amendment. Historically the City has always batched all comprehensive plan amendments
together so that there will be one recommendation. Idaho requires this to happen once every six
months. They may be heard on different dates. Discussion on the Planning and Zoning
Commission meetings in regards to the comp plan. The text can be amended any time and they
can make a recommendation on the text. General discussion.
CJ Thompson: discussion on comprehensive plan amendments. General discussion. Discussion
on the Dry Creek letter.
5. CONSENT AGENDA:

Eagle Arts Commission
April 2007 Grant Approvals
The Eagle Arts Commission (EAC) collectively approved the three grants listed below for the
2007 fiscal year (please note we have two grant deadlines: 12/15/06 and 3/15/07).
Determination was based on a point system (300 points maximum) using the attached form. The
following panelists met and discussed each proposal. Then Bill Stephan discussed with each
commissioner and finalized their decision.
Attendees: Bill Stephan, Linda Butler, Barbara Burton
Guest: Kim Eckland
Eagle Performing Arts Center $5,000 Points Received: 270
This grant would be to help EPAC's "Summer Solstice," which is a collaborative arts event to take
place in the evening at The Winery at Eagle Knoll. Participants would include guest professional
dancers (4) from New York City Ballet and Oregon Ballet Theatre. Also part of the event would
be an art exhibit of works from Jim O'Halloran and Dean Estes and a classical string quartet. The
objective of this event is to provide access for students and Eagle residents to artistic excellence.
EPAC has been part of the Eagle community for three years and has tremendous support and
success. EPAC would evaluate the success of "Summer Solstice" as they do their other
programs.
Seven Oaks Elementary $1,627.80 Points Received: 270
(Submitted by Vicki Graham, Seven Oaks Elementary music teacher)
This project is called World Rhythms Drumming Ensemble and would consist of 4th and 5th grade
students from Seven Oaks Elementary to help them benefit from this cross-cultural experience
and performance of world rhythms on different styles of drums and other percussion instruments.
The grant would be used to purchase a variety of drums such as tubanos, Djembe drum from
Ghana, Festival Djembes, and song books/CDs. As Vicki Graham so eloquently said "music is a
wonderful medium that connects everyone in the world. Children innately enjoy rhythm, singing,
movement and performing so this connection of music and learning should be explored and used
in the elementary schools and beyond. NO matter the culture, rhythm is one source that unifies
our world." The students would be available to perform for the EAC at Saturday Market and Last
Thursday.
North Star Charter Ita 1130 Points Received: 245
(Presented by Dawn Lopez, Volunteer NSPCS Fine Arts Program Coordinator)
The fine arts program is a volunteer run program at North Star Charter for kindergarten through
eighth grade. This program is run by volunteer moms and is not provided any funding from
school. This grant would be used to provide quality supplies for excellent art instruction for
students. The parent volunteers for this program hope to provide studio skills, vocabulary, art
appreciation, and to foster creativity through visual arts. Additionally, they have another aspect of
their program that includes a community service project. Students decorate and donate
pillowcases to St. Luke's Children's Oncology Unit.

community residents.
Chapter 7 Natural Resource and Hazard areas
7.2 Soils
The soils of the region consist of at least nine (9) major series with numerous
subsidiaries of each soil type as defined by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.
While numerous minerals are lacking, there are deposits of sand and gravel.
7.4 Geology
The primary geology of the Eagle area consists of material from the Idaho
Batholith. The City of Eagle is situated within the defined Broadway Terrace, thus
making Eagle one of the prime locations for sand and gravel extraction.
7.5 Water Resources
Groundwater:
In the area north of the Boise River, the flow is generally in a southwest direction
towards the Boise River.
The City of Eagle is heavily dependent on groundwater and its recharge for
drinking water and for industrial purposes.
7.8 Goal
Special concern and attention should be given to the preservation of fish, wildlife,
water resources, air quality, agriculture, open space and recreation -nature areas
when implementing planning and zoning decisions.
Chapter 8 Transportation
8.3.0 City of Eagle Functional Pathway Classifications
8.3.1 Paths:
Function:
To provide for recreation and alternative transportation; important to provide safe
continuous thoroughfares with minimal cross flow of vehicular traffic.
Page 7 of 18
KlPlamsag Dcpt1Ada Camp AppficasioosZUBS12007aidgaway Estates cc of.doa
Location:
Paths could be located on corridors separate from roadways such as utility
easements, irrigation canals, or adjacent to rivers and creeks. Paths could also be
located along roadway right of ways and would usually be separated from vehicle
travel lanes and the paved section of the roadway by a median or sidewalk.
8.3.2 Bike Lanes:
Function:
Primarily used as a lane for bicycles and other non -motorized uses.
Location:
Bike lanes usually exist on the same pavement surface as motorized lanes.
Arterials and collectors should be provided with bilce lanes on each side of the
roadway.
8.4 Goal
Plan a transportation system to serve the planned land use of the City of Eagle and
I its Area of Impact.
8.5 Objective
Encouraging alternative transportation forms such as walking and biking.
8.6 Implementation Strategies
Integrate all modes of travel to support air quality improvement measures.
Chapter 9 Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces
9.5 Pathways and Greenbelts
Pathways are non -motorized multi -use paths that are separate features from
bicycle and pedestrian lanes constructed as part of a roadway.
Greenbelts are typically land areas that border scenic features or hazard areas (i.e.
the Boise River and Dry Creek) and are designed to prevent undesirable
encroachment. Greenbelts may include pathways and/or bike lanes.
9.5.1 Goal
To create a pathway system that provides interconnectivity of schools,
neighborhoods, public buildings, businesses, and parks and special sites.
9.5.2 Objectives
a. To create a pathway system that reflects desire to have a pedestrian and
bicycle friendly community.
Page 8 of 18
Rig DeptlAda Conary App AppkationASLAM20071Ridgeway Estates ae stf.doa
b. To provide a network of central and neighborhood paths where
residents are able to safely access and utilize pathways for alternative
forms of transportation.
Chapter 11 Special Areas and Sites
11.1 Background and Vision
"Special Areas and Sites" are defined as areas, sites or structures of
historical, archaeological, architectural, or scenic significance. Special
areas or sites should be analyzed according to their defined function.
Whenever possible, those sites should be preserved and conserved as open
spaces or for educational and cultural centers. Development of Special
Areas or Sites should take place in a manner that reflects harmony with
their natural environment and recognized qualities which render them
distinctly unique.
These special areas will require comprehensive and specific planning to
ensure that such topographical, hydrological, architectural and scenic
concerns have been thoroughly addressed and incorporated into any
engineering and development plans. The special review process should
include, but not be limited to the following:
• Area wide drainage including hillsides, foothills and gulches
• Water quality
• Sanitation
• Area -wide traffic plans
• Pathways, trail access
• Wetlands issues
• Fish and wildlife habitat
• Existing trees and natural features
• River and creek greenbelt areas
• Potential for permanent open spaces and natural preserves including
steep hillside terrain, rock outcroppings and foothill gulches.
11.3 Goal
To promote the conservation and efficient management of all Special
Areas and Sites.
11.4 Implementation and Strategies
a. Protect and improve natural and man-made waterways
g. Preserve existing trees and establish appropriate landscaping as
Page 9of18
KSS DeptlAda County AppricationsISUBS120071,Ridgeviny Estates cc stL.doc
a part of new developments.
h. Encourage the preservation of habitat areas which provide for fish
and wildlife
i. The City may require developers to prepare and submit an
environmental assessment and any such additional reports as the
City may from time to time require, for any development on land
within an area designated as a Special Area or Site or for any
development impacting a designated Special Area or Site.
Chapter 12 Community Design
12.1 Background and Vision
Community design is the organi zed fashion in which a community is
developed in order that a general mood or theme is established and
maintained.
Elements of the Eagle community design include: (a) a rural transitional
community with a shopping district functioning as the hub of the
community; (b) the Boise River and its floodplain with wildlife, trees, and
recreation opportunities; (c) the rolling hills north of the river; and (d) a
network of canals which crisscross the community.
Development will occur in the downtown as well as along arterials. City
growth and increased traffic levels on Highway 44 and Highway 55 will
stimulate demand for new development along these entrances. These same
corridors have great potential for more intensive mixed-use development.
12.4 Implementation Strategies
a. Establish and maintain a development pattern and design criteria in
keeping with the rural transitional identity of Eagle. This includes
growth within the Impact Area that discourages or precludes the
establishment of other city centers.
g.
New residential, commercial and industrial development shall
be required to meet minimum design standards as specified by
City ordinances.
k. Encourage the preservation of natural resources such as creeks,
drainages, steep slopes, and ridgelines as visual amenities.
1 Encourage the development of pathways and open -space
corridors throughout the City.
m. Encourage the development of a strong community identity
Page 10 of 18
K1Ptanaing DcpAAda County Ag plDatioassISUBS12oo71Ridgcway attics cc stt.doa
through urban design standards, downtown revitalization,
cultural activities, and visual gateways to the City.
B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL:
• Eagle City Code Section 8-1-2 defines Dwelling, Single -Family as:
A dwelling consisting of a single dwelling unit only, separated from any other
dwelling units by open space. This classification includes manufactured homes
and any home in which eight (8) or fewer supervised unrelated mentally and/or
physically handicapped or elderly persons reside.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2-1 Districts Established, Purposes and Restrictions:
The following zoning districts are hereby established. For the interpretation of this
title, the zoning districts have been formulated to realize the general purposes as
set forth in this title. In addition, the specific purpose for each zoning district shall
be as follows:
A -R AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT: To provide for the transition
of agricultural land no longer used for extensive agricultural purposes into
residential areas, while preserving agricultural uses compatible with residential
development. Gross density shall not exceed one single-family dwelling unit per
five acres.
• Eagle City Code Section 8-2A-7; Landscape and Buffer Area Requirements:
C. Existing Vegetation:
1. Retention of Existing trees:
Existing trees shall be retained unless removal is approved in
writing by the city. Where trees are approved by the city to be
removed from the project site (or from abutting right of way)
replacement with an acceptable species is required as follows:
Existing Trees
1 inch to 6 inches caliper
6 'A inches to 12 inches
12 1/4 inches or more
Replacement
2x caliper of tree removed
1.5x caliper of tree removed
lx caliper of tree removed
In all cases, planting within public rights of way shall be with
approval from the public and/or private entities owning the
property.

public or private retained tree or shrub may severely damage the
tree or shrub. Any severely damaged tree or shrub shall be replaced
in accordance with subsection C1 of this section.
3. Grade Changes during Construction:
Grade changes and impervious surfaces shall be allowed at a
distance from the trunk of a retained tree to equal the diameter of
the tree plus six feet (6'), or to the drip line, whichever is furthest
from the trunk.
4. Minimum Landscaping:
Existing vegetation which is to be retained may be used to satisfy
the minimum required landscaping.
C. SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS WHICH OF SPECIAL CONCERN
REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: (None)
D. DISCUSSION:
• The applicant is requesting the approval of an eight (8) -lot residential
development which is adjacent to, and takes access from, a recorded easement
within Beacon Lights Subdivision.
• The project area is currently under the Ada County Land Use zoning designation
of RUT (Rural Urban Transition). Per Ada County Code, minimum lot size in an
RUT zone is five (5) acres. Maximum densities on RUT lands are one (1)
dwelling unit per five (5) acres.
• The Ada County designation of RUT and associated minimum lot size is
compatible with the City of Eagle zoning designation of A -R (Agricultural
Residential). Minimum lot size in an A -R zone is 4.7 acres. Maximum densities
on A -R lands is one (1) dwelling unit per 4.7 acres.
• An easement will be used to access the project area. According to Ada County
Ordinance 8-4D-1 through 8-4D-5, the easement is a legal point of ingress and
egress to the proposed project area. Although the easement is valid, and per the
Law of Easements and the Ada County Zoning Ordinance the owner of the
easement is not prohibited from using the easement to access the project area; the
potential of an additional 80 —160 average daily trips could require improvements
to the easement to County road standards.

• North Ridgeway Lane is designated as a private road; the City of Eagle prohibits
private roads.
• Then project area is located on sloping topography. The narrative states that the
road, North Ridgeway Lane, will not be constructed on slopes greater than eight
(8) percent. The topographic map attached to the application suggests that
