PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL:
DELIBERATIVE PROCESS FOR EAGLE FOOTHILLS DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Considerable controversy has developed quickly around Planning & Zoning's draft comprehensive
plan for development in the foothills north of Eagle. Given this controversy, the mayor and city
council face a significant challenge as they consider the proposed plan. As these kind of
controversies develop, the discussion tends to become increasingly dominated by the most extreme
views on the topic and accurate understanding of the underlying substantive issues tend to erode.
This document outlines a preliminary proposal for a proactive process that the mayor and city council
could convene to address this challenge. The proposed process—collaborative polling—aims to
move the deliberations away from extreme views uninformed by accurate substantive information
and toward representative views of the majority of citizens that are informed by substantive
information.
SHORTCOMINGS OF TRADITIONAL PUBLIC INPUT
Polarization: Traditional deliberation processes that involve public input fail to provide an
accurate representation of public preferences because participants are self-selected. It takes time and
effort to engage public input processes effectively. Consequently, those with stronger feelings and
more extreme views about an issue tend to be over -represented while the views of typical citizens
tend to be under -represented. Ironically, then, traditional public input process tend to give more
voice to the more polarized elements on a question, making it more difficult to come to a reasonable
solution that advances the broad public interest of common citizens.
Not only do participants tend to have more extreme views than the public at large, but
traditional involvement processes also encourage participants to express more extreme views than
those they actually hold. Recognizing that the government will likely seek a middle-of-the-road
compromise, participants often stake out extreme positions in the hope that the ultimate compromise
will more closely approximate their true preferences. The more controversy that surrounds a given
policy question, the stronger these polarizing effects tend to be.
Erosion in Quality of Information Underlying Public Opinion: As controversy and
polarization dynamics take hold, the quality of the information on which the public is basing their
views tends to erode. Those with more extreme views who tend to dominate the process often
emphasize their views and conclusions with little regard to the best substantive information available
on the question at hand. News reports then tend to reflect and even emphasize these extreme views
rather than the substantive information. Consequently, the views of the broad public, who are not
actively participating in the process, come to be influenced more by polarized views and less by
accurate, substantive information.
COLLABORATIVE POLLING: A DELIBERATIVE PROCESS DRIVEN BY INFORMED AND
REPRESENTATIVE PUBLIC OPINION
Collaborative polling was designed by Keith Allred to address the weaknesses of traditional
deliberation processes. In this instance, Keith would work collaboratively with the City and
interested groups to develop a brief on the issues surrounding a comprehensive plan for development
of the Eagle Foothills. That brief along with a questionnaire would then be administered to a random
sample of the public.
Collaborative Development of the Brief: Keith would work collaboratively with City staff
to capture the best substantive information relevant to this question, including information on topics
such as traffic impacts and water demand. He would also work collaboratively with interested
parties, including the relevant developers and the North Ada County Foothills Association, in order to
accurately represent their perspectives in the brief. The aim would be to develop a brief for which
there was a broad consensus that it accurately captured the issue. The core brief should be 10-15
pages and take between a half hour and one hour to review. The core brief can also be accompanied
by supplementary information so that the participants can delve deeper into particular aspects of the
question if they wish to.
The brief can also capture various policy options. Presumably, the central policy option
featured in the brief would be Planning & Zoning's proposed Comprehensive Plan. The brief could
also include possible modifications to the plan. For example, the North Ada County Foothills
Association and the developers could each be invited to develop several modifications they would
suggest.
Polling the Public: Once reasonable consensus is developed that the brief accurately
captures the issue, it would be provided to a random sample of the public along with a questionnaire.
The random sampling ensures that views heard are representative and avoids the problem of being
hijacked by extreme views that often comes with self-selected participation in typical public input
processes. The questionnaire asks participants the degree to which they support or oppose a given
policy option represented in the brief.
Using the Results in Making a Policy Decision: The results from the collaborative polling
process would primarily be statistical reports on the percentage of participants who support or oppose
a given policy option. This information would be input that the mayor and city council could draw
on in making their final decision. The mayor and city council can accomplish several things by
signaling early that the collaborative polling results will have a major influence on their ultimate
decision and that they will avoid being unduly influenced by perspectives that are supported by only
a minority of citizens and/or that are based on inaccurate information:
1. Put the discussion on a more informed, substantive footing: If everyone knows that
the collaborative polling effort will be central to the mayor and city council's decision
making, interested parties and the news media will become focused on the brief. They
will have an interest in making sure that it is accurate and in the process attention will be
focused on the best available, substantive information.
2. Provide interested parties with a sense that their input is important and welcomed:
Because interested parties are welcomed to be involved in the development of the brief
and a priority is put on representing those interested parties' perspectives accurately, they
will have a sense that their input is considered to be important and valuable by the mayor
and city council.
2
3. Provide interested parties with an incentive to help find common sense solutions that
respect others' interests: Instead of feeling a need to stake out more extreme positions
because the ultimate decision will be a compromise, interested parties will tend to listen
and respond more genuinely and collaboratively to other parties' interests because they
recognize that other parties' most compelling arguments are likely to be persuasive with
the random sample of the public.
4. Give average citizens confidence that the decision is being made with their best
interests at heart: By convening such a process, the mayor and city council make it
transparent to the citizens' of Eagle and the surrounding area that their broad interests are
the mayor and city council's primary concern.
ESTIMATED COSTS
Many of the costs typically associated with collaborative polling can be avoided in this case by
drawing on City staff. In particular, the substantive information that has been generated in the
development of the proposed Comprehensive Plan on issues such as traffic and water can be
leveraged for the brief. Additionally, there are sensible ways of drawing on City staff in the random
sampling process that could reduce costs significantly compared to traditional sampling methods.
The most significant cost component is Keith's time and it is also the most difficult to estimate
accurately. The work with the interested parties is particularly time intensive and difficult to
anticipate exactly how much time it will take. Nevertheless, I estimate that the whole collaborative
polling process could be conducted for $19,100 assuming the assistance of City Staff.
Phases of Collaborative
Polling Process
Development of substantive
information portion of brief
Development of interested parties'
perspectives portion of brief
Posting brief and questionnaire
online
Drawing random sample and
sending mail notification to

Total Estimated Costs
Cost Items
• Keith's time working with City staff: 2 '/2 days
($2,000 per day)
• Keith's time working with interested parties to
accurately capture their perspectives in the
brief: 5 days ($2,000 per day)
• Costs of designing web pages for brief and for
questionnaire that can capture participants
responses (would be subcontracted and would
adapt web design work already done for
similar projects Keith has done in the past)
• If drawing on City staff to do the clerical work,
direct costs for postage, paper, envelopes and
printing would be approximately $1.00 per
participant. Recommend sample of 600. Keith
would work with the City Staff in drawing an
appropriate scientific, random sample.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF EAGLE, ADA COUNTY IDAHO PROVIDING
CRITERIA TO EAGLE CITY CODE TITLE 8 "ZONING", CHAPTER 4 "OFF STREET
PARKING AND LOADING", SECTION 4 "ADDITIONAL PARKING REGULATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS", SUBSECTION 5 "PARKING IN LIEU PAYMENTS" - WHICH
REQUIRES A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO MODIFY THE
PARKING IN -LIEU FEES; AND PROVIDING CRITERIA TO EAGLE CITY CODE TITLE 8
"ZONING", CHAPTER 2 "ZONING DISTRICTS AND MAPS, ARTICLE A "DESIGN
REVIEW OVERLAY DISTRICT", SECTION 7 "LANDSCAPE AND BUFFER AREA
REQUIREMENTS", SUBSECTION 0 "ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE",
PARAGRAPH 3 - WHICH REQUIRES A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL TO DETERMINE TREE REPLACEMENT COST; AND PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Whereas the City of Eagle through its Comprehensive Plan has identified the Central
Business District as a unique and important center for commerce in the City; and
Whereas the City wants to foster and stimulate continued growth and development within
the Central Business District to further establish and solidify it as the economic, cultural, and
civic center of the community; and
Whereas the City of Eagle has prioritized the protection of existing trees and the
establishment of minimum parking standards within the Central Business District in order to
create a unique, pedestrian friendly and inviting downtown; and
Whereas the City of Eagle through cooperative planning with the Eagle Chamber of
Commerce and the Chamber's public participation process has determined that certain existing
features of the Central Business District regulations, parking, and tree standards may have
significant impact on the development and implementation of the vision plans for certain
properties within the area; and
Whereas, the City of Eagle and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce jointly commissioned a
Downtown Feasibility Committee to study the feasibility of stimulating Eagle's desired
development within Eagle's downtown core and to subsequently provide recommendations to
the Eagle Mayor and City Council based upon their findings;
Whereas, the Committee sought public input by holding several public meetings with
downtown core business owners and property owners as well as citizens throughout Eagle's Area
of City of Impact;
Whereas, this Resolution includes several components of the first phase of
recommendations provided by the Committee, specifically as they relate to parking and tree
replacement solely within the area identified on Exhibit A, attached hereto;
Whereas, Eagle City Code Title 8 "Zoning", Chapter 2 "Zoning Districts and Maps",
Article A "Design Review Overlay District", Section 2: "Purpose and Goals", Subsection A
"Purpose" states:
Page 1 of 4
K:1COUNCQ.1Rcsolutionsldrait rsolutionslRcsolution No. 07-19 Downtown Parking and Tuve Rcsokutioa.doc
Paragraph 1: The purpose of this article is to recognize the interdependence of land values and
aesthetics and to provide a method by which the city may implement this interdependence to the
benefit of the community;
Paragraph 2: The purpose of this article is to Encourage the development of private property in
harmony with the desired character of the city and in conformance with the guidelines herein
provided with due regard to the public and private interests involved; and
Paragraph 3: Provide planning and design guidelines to give specific direction for downtown
development, while allowing for flexibility that promotes creative, market driven development
proposals; and
Whereas, the properties identified within Exhibit A, attached hereto, are located within
the Downtown Development Area (DDA); and
Whereas, Eagle City Code Title 8 "Zoning", Chapter 2 "Zoning Districts and Maps",
Article A "Design Review Overlay District", Section 5 "Design Review Overlay Districts; Eagle
Architecture And Site Design Book (EASD)", Subsection C "Areas Of Development",
Paragraph 1 Downtown Development Area -DDA states, "The purpose of the DDA is to establish
a distinct area regulated to fulfill the vision of the city comprehensive plan and to provide for
activities conducive to a compact and concentrated downtown commercial center";
Whereas, Eagle City Code Chapter 2A "Design Review Overlay District" encourages a
compact development with a minimum of forty percent (40%) lot coverage and a maximum of
ninety five percent (95%) lot coverage, encourages shared parking and off-site parking, and
encourages parking in lieu payments for future public parking facilities within the DDA
Downtown Development Area;
Whereas, Eagle City Code Title 8 "Zoning", Chapter 2 "Zoning Districts and Maps",
Article A "Design Review Overlay District", Section 7 "Landscape And Buffer Area
Requirements", Subsection 0, "Alternative Methods Of Compliance", Paragraph 1, "Project
Conditions" state, "It is not the intent of these landscape requirements to inhibit creative
solutions to land use problems. Under certain site conditions, a strict interpretation of
requirements may be either physically impossible or impractical. Alternative compliance is a
procedure that allows certain modifications to existing regulations within this section. Requests
for use of alternative landscaping schemes are justified only when one or more of the following
conditions apply" and the first item for justification (item a) states, "The sites involve space
limitations or unusually shaped parcels"; and
Whereas, it is acknowledged by this resolution, that the lots identified within Exhibit A,
attached hereto, involve space limitations due to the minimal square footage of the lots, most of
which are only approximately 7,000 -square feet in size, and numerous existing trees in the
downtown area, result in a strict interpretation the requirements for tree replacement being either
physically impossible or impractical thereby negatively impacting the growth and enhancement
within the DDA.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EAGLE, IDAHO, as follows:
Section 1: The provisions herein apply to any Design Review application within the area
identified on Exhibit A, attached hereto, received by the City within one year from approval of
this Resolution or for any Design Review application which was submitted prior to approval of
this Resolution but which has not yet been acted on by the City Council.
Section 2: The provisions within this Resolution shall be revoked for any Design Review
application in which a building permit for each and every building, if more than one, has not
been obtained from the City within two years of City Council approval of any such Design
Review application.
Section 3: Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-3-A-7 allows the Zoning Administrator to
permit a maximum reduction in the number of parking spaces to be provided not exceeding
twenty percent (20%) of the sum of the number of spaces required for each use. Therefore, to
stimulate development of the downtown area as show on Exhibit A, attached hereto, any two or
three story mixed use developments shall be permitted a 20% parking reduction by this
Resolution. For purposes of this section, a mixed use development shall be those with
commercial uses on the first floor; residential uses on the second floor if a two story building;
commercial and or residential uses on the second floor if a three story building; and residential
uses on the third floor. The second or third floor may also include a restaurant.
Except for the required covered parking spaces for residential uses, the remaining number
of required parking spaces, after the 20% reduction as referenced above, may be substituted for
parking in lieu payments as referenced in Eagle City Code Section 8-4-4-5. The first 50% of the
remaining required parking spaces shall have the fee waived and the remaining 50% of spaces
shall pay a fee of $5,700 each.
Section 4: After receiving a valuation provided by the City Forester, along with
considering any additional evidence regarding tree value and development impacts, the City
Council will determine tree replacement cost on a case by case basis. However, to stimulate
development in the downtown area as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto, the need to retain
existing trees and the tree replacement cost may be waived by the City Council under the
following criteria:
a. Trees along the Eagle Drain shall either be retained or shall be subject to
the tree replacement cost as shall be determined by the City Council;
b. This provision allowing tree removal in the downtown area shall not apply
to any tree recommended by the City Forester and determined by the City
Council to be of extraordinary value and historic significance; and
c. New trees to be planted within the downtown area as shown on Exhibit A,
attached hereto, shall be inspected by the City Forester prior to installation
to assure that the trees meet the City's standards for quality urban street
trees. A tree inspection fee, as adopted by resolution of the City Council,
will apply.
d. New street trees to be planted within the downtown area as shown on
Exhibit A, attached hereto, shall be planted using soil cell technology as
approved by the City Forester to accelerate and enhance the growth of the
urban tree canopy.

Benefits of Trees to Communities
Trees can provide compensation to communities in ways that bring much benefit to
people directly and indirectly. Trees benefit us on many levels. They provide the
following benefits:
1. Buffers radiant solar heat from paved areas and buildings
2. Stores carbon
3. Produces oxygen
4. Intercepts rainwater and reduces stormwater runoff
5. Reduces erosion
6. Absorbs air and water pollution
7. Reduces noise pollution
8. Reduces runoff into rivers which reduces water pollution
9. Reduces crime rates
10. Beautifies communities
11. Boosts economy
12. Reduces stress in workplace and promotes healing in hospitals
13. Provides habitat for wildlife
14. Screens unsightly views
15. Increases property values
16. Commemorative trees honor the deceased
17. Rich as cultural and historical heritage
18. Provide value to golf courses
19. Defines areas and sense of place
A collective tree canopy is a dynamic entity and as seasons change and plants die and are
removed, the canopy changes. The greatest presence of stability lies in larger class
mature trees that have the greatest potential to endure over longer periods of time which
ultimately provides a degree of stability. The benefits of larger canopies are significantly
greater as one tree can be significantly more productive than a smaller class tree.
Integrating the goals of urban forestry with the goals of urban renewal
Urban settings require minimum engineering standards for its infrastructure. Those
standards conflict with tree needs and often the trees suffer short term growth, decline,
and premature death. They do not reach their potential size and thus, with repeated
necessity for replacement, are more of an ongoing cost without giving the return they
could be giving. The chief problem with urban planting is the limitations of soils. Urban
soils typically are compacted, lacking oxygen, low in soil and high in rocky materials,
and inadequate in soil volume to allow adequate root growth to support a tree's potential
top growth. Advances in technology and design have allowed for greater tree growth in
urban settings, but still there are limitations to be overcome. Trees are an important part
of the community's infrastructure and designing and building with their best potential
outcome in mind is important. Some of the goals of urban forestry center around planting
larger class trees where possible, increasing the total urban canopy, measuring the
benefits of the total urban canopy in relation to the costs, and managing the existing
urban forest with planning for the future in mind. One certainty is that turning around the
Page 1 of 2
K:1Planning DeptTity Forestcr1DOWNTOWN FEAS STUDY TREE INVENPORY\Rccommended mitigation options for Urban Renewal Study.doc
soil situation will result in improving growing conditions for trees and allow the urban
forest to potentially achieve a more productive state. Combinations of new technologies
and improvements in designs pose promising prospects in encouraging trees to grow
closer to their potential. Research has shown that for every tree planted in a city, four
die. We would like to solve this problem by improving the green infrastructure through
innovative technologies. Some of the construction solutions that can be employed are:
1. Install soil cell technology (i.e. Silva cells) under sidewalk
2. Sidewalk can be pavers
3. Trees planted in larger groupings inside larger planters
4. In conjunction with Silva cells, plant larger class trees as appropriate in a space
5. Restrict use of the following tree species: Ash trees, Norway maple, Red maple,
Silver maple, Autumn Blaze Maple, flowering fruit trees

Subject: Downtown Parking Study
Date: June 26, 2007
Attachment(s): Current Parking Space Analysis — Downtown Eagle
Downtown Area Map
Copy To: N/A
The following attachments look at existing commercial buildings, square footage of each
building and existing parking spaces associated with each building as well as available on and
off-street parking in the downtown area.
The square footage of each building was then compared to Eagle City Code 8-4-5 which dictates
required parking spaces for each use.
The requirements in ECC 8-4-5 were then compared to existing parking. The results of this
comparison show that an excess of 84 spaces (approximately 19%) exist ion the downtown
today.
Staff will provide a verbal overview of the parking analysis during the meeting.
