Mayor introduces the issue and discusses the procedure for the Public Hearing.
Mayor opens the Public Hearing
Mayor swears in Deborah Helton
Deborah Helton, 1203 Cerramar Court, my lifestyle that I wanted when I moved to Eagle is being
threatened. I do not want the development in the foothills or the traffic.
Mayor swears in K.C. Armstrong
K.C. Armstrong, 1831 W. Parkstone Street, Meridian, I have reviewed the plan submitted by M3
and feel they have taken public use of the lands into consideration and have adjusted their plans
accordingly. I ride in the foothills and appreciate them taking this into consideration.
Mayor swears in Patrick Cumpman
Patrick Cumpman, 1570N. Prestwiek Way, discusses the Idaho Statesman's article in regards to
water. Discussion on developing the foothills. Discussion on irrigating the foothills when
development occurs. Thousand Springs State Park is an example of what happens with over use
of water.
Mayor swears in Joseph Kennedy
Joseph Kennedy, 2322 N. Stonecrest Place, my concern on development in the foothills is
density and water. We need to limit density so the quality of life in Eagle is not affected and we
need to look at water for homes and irrigation.
Mayor swears in Patricia Minkieurcz
Patricia Minkieurcz, 3047 Deerfield Court, we are against the higher density zoning, too many
people bring to many negative issues to the area. I would like to know from the Planning staff
how many letters have been received to date.
Mayor swears in Derek Smith
Derek T. Smith, 1102 N. Purple Sage Way, I have sat and listen to the opinions and concerns
over the last several weeks. I do not envy you in the decision before you. Discussion on the
expansion of Highway 55 and 16 what the developers are going to contribute to the expansion.
hope that the Council has contacted those previous communities to find out what they think of
the work M3 and A vimor did.
Mayor swears in Bob Harmon
Bob Harmon, 1600 E. Aerie Lane, I have been attending these meetings for two years going back
to the meetings at Ada County. You have an opportunity to take control of what happens in the
foothills. Everyone is interested in seeing Eagle control what happens in the foothills. I hope
you take forward your comp plan for the foothills. The comp plan has what is necessary in it for
Eagle to take control of what happens in the foothills. Discussion on the density, transportation
and water. This land is 85% privately owned.
Mayor swears in Julie Masner
Julie Masner, 4325 West Gray Teal, I eco some of the previous comments made. Discussion on
density in the foothills. I think approval ofM3 would be a mockery of the public comments.
Discussion on the improvement of the highways. There is to much optimistic speculation from
the developers. Does this vision add to the City of Eagle? General discussion.

Mayor swears in Kevin Blankmeyer
Kevin Blankmeyer, 758 Beachwood, I am the employee and representative of Kitty Hawk
Investment and we support the comp plan proposals and the foothills development.
Mayor swears in Jack VanWyk
Jack VanWyk, 2184 Valli Hi, I agree that there is a strong need for a comp plan in the foothills
development. Why would you want to approve amendments to a plan that has not been adopted.
Discussion on traffic. Discussion on the costs of new schools, a new fire station, roads, a new
police station, library and etc. No one has added all of these costs together but I have and it
would be 2.5 billion dollars in unfunded costs for the needed facilities. Discussion on available
property on the market in Eagle. The profits on this development are not likely to stay in the
State of Idaho.
Mayor swears in Paul Hilbreg
Paul Hilbreg, 157 I I Highway 55, Boise, I am representing Kastera Development, we have
reviewed the comp plan and have submitted written comments and hope you will consider those
comments.
Mayor swears in Joan Langdon
Joan Langdon, 4690 Hartley Road, I feel that the best place for new housing is in the foothills. I
believe M3 will proceed with caution so they do not tax the availability of water. Discussion on
how the public has abused her property. I look forward to development that will surprise their
critics.
Mayor swears in Leigh Brecht
Leigh Brecht, 4830 N. Hawkins, I am a realtor in the Treasurer Valley area and we are not
against development. My concern is to speak against extending the roads through the BLM
property. Discussion on protecting the equestrian trails. Discussion on density, traffic and roads.

There is an opportunity to bring billions of dollars into this area.

Kami Barcent, 4337 E. Amity Road, I would like to express my support ofM3.
Mayor swears in Oliva Lopez
Olicia Lopez, 125 I S. Arbor Island, I do support SunCor, A vimor and M3. I see that growth is
inevitable. It seems like some the people want to close the doors now that they are here. We
need to go about growth the smart way. Discussion on mass transportation. I am in support I
feel like it is smart growth.
Mayor swears in Glida Bothwell
Glida Bothwell, 4845 N. Curlew Place, distributes handouts and displays overheads in reference
to real estate sales in the area, and Idaho construction. Eight years ago we moved out of the city
and into the foothills. I am against development in the foothills. I hope that the City keeps large
lots, 5 acres, for development in the foothills. I am opposed to this. Look at Hidden Springs as
far as development in the foothills. Let's make our own foothills road map.
Mayor swears in Gary Allen
Page 4
K:\CQlINCILIJ\.lINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-IO-23-07mindoc
Gary Allen, 60 I W. Bannock, Boise, distributes handouts to the Council. I represent the

Connolly's support your plan.

Janet Buschart, 235 W. Floating Feather, you already have my written testimony but I have new
things that has come to light. The overall numbers are just to high. Discussion on A vimor.
Discussion M3.
Mayor swears in Sheri Randall
Sheri Randall, 278 E Beacon Light, I want to object to have testimony on all items instead of
testimony on each individual item. Why do we have to proceed so fast, let's slow down. Lets
focus on the new comp plan before be amend it. The issue is density. The plan that is before
you now is not the vision of the people of Eagle. Discussion on support and opposition to the
foothills development. What you have here is representative of the community. Most of the
residents of this area are opposed to foothills development.
Mayor calls a recess at 7:40 p.m.
Mayor reconvenes at 7:55 p.m.
Mayor swears in Kim Willoughby,
Kim Willoughby, 12286 W. Bridge Bay, Star, Those of us who been in the Treasurer Valley for
any length of time knows that development will happen. We have the opportunity to ensure that
this development is what the residents want. I do support M3 and their development.
Mayor swears in Craig Frame
Craig Frame, 2300 E. Deer Creek Point, I moved my family from California to Eagle because of
its comp plan. It reminded me of the place I grew up. I am opposed to the way and speed this is
going. In reference to Napa, for 40 years Napa has never changed, it has kept its quaintness. I
am not against development, I am a developer.
Mayor swears in John Gamon
John Gamon, I 104 Johnson Street, Boise, as a Boise resident, I am not concerned about the
contents of these proposals. I am concerned about the consequences, impact on infrastructure
and roads. If we are spending money on the roads for these developments there won't be money
for road improvements in other areas. There needs to be improvements to Chinden Boulevard
and Orchard Street in Boise. General discussion.
Mayor swears in Logan Schriner
Logan Schriner, 3708 Highway 16, and I have lived here since 1975 and we have seen a lot of
changes. We live right next to BLM land that you are hoping to make a park out of. I think we
have been extremely lucky that these property owners have let us use their land. There are going
to be changes and it looks like M3 is going to let us continue using the land. I have friends in
Prescott and M3 has done some projects there and my friends are pleased with their
developments. They have got to do the development right to make it work.
Mayor swears in Doris Schriner
Doris Schriner, 3708 Highway 16, I have been to the M3 meetings from the get go. I have look
at their plan and their map and I want to go on record supporting them.

Mayor swears in Rachel Hurn
Rachel Hurn, 233 Springhill Drive, my husband and I own a business here in Eagle. As a small
business owner we are in support of SunCor, A vimor and M3. I support the previous testimony.
Mayor swears in Dick Logerstrom
Dick Logerstrom, 1262 W. Beacon Light Road, I have lived in this house for 20 years. Thank
you for the hard work you have done. We are currently in a real estate swoon and this lets you
provide for a plan and work with Ada County, Canyon County, Boise, Meridian and Star. We
need a plan for the Treasurer Valley. I would urge you to put teeth in the agreements with the
developers so that they would have to follow through with their proposed development.
Mayor swears in Mat Fahy
Mat Fahy, 390 W. Colchester Drive, I came from California and I like Eagle a lot. I travel across
the United States and I did a little research on M3 and I have seen some of the work that they
have done and I am here to state my support.
Mayor swears in Charlie Baun
Charlie Baun, 2875 E. Falcon, Meridian, I am a native of the Treasurer Valley and I have seen
how the Valley has grown. We know that we are now seeing uncontrolled growth. Meridian is
uncontrolled growth. Eagle is now 20,000 units and we now need planned development to
preserve quality of life.
Mayor swears in Richard Morrell
Richard Morrell, 6030 N. Duxbury Pier, Garden City, we are all here for quality of life. I am
from a very small town and have lived in large cities in California. I am all for the development
of the foothills. This is a wonderful community and I respect what you are doing. I have seen
the growth from the neighborhood I am in which is very new and if someone had not allowed
development I would not have my home. I am all for the M3 development and the development
of the foothills.
Mayor swears in Robert West
Robert West, 5035 Willow Creek Road, I have lived here for 23 years. I have attended many
meetings and workshops over the years. The comp plan is the most critical that you have before
you. We want lower density and to retain the foothills. M3's development agreement does not
meet the goals set forth in the comp plan. This development agreement only benefits M3. I urge
you to deny the M3 agreement.
Mayor swears in Barb Jekel
Barb Jekel, 2862 N. Haven Drive, discusses the foothills development, schools, housing, water
rights and water levels, air pollution and the M3 development.
Mayor swears on Lynda Wojeik
Linda Wojeik, 1333 E. Kite Street, I want to give my support for M3 and SunCor. I have gone to
each company and they explained their plans to me. I want the foothills to be a part of Eagle.
Mayor swears in Vivian Benson
Vivian Benson, 3505 N. Eagle Road, I am definitely on the road of impact. We have a large
pond in the front of our house and widening the road with eliminate the pond. I am annoyed that
M3 has disrupted the process. I do not want to live in the City. We once had a small town and
we could enjoy the country living. You have changed our town and you are probably glad I can

on the development in the foothills. General discussion.
Mayor swears in Kathy Pennisi
Kathy Pennisi, 3675 N. Saddleman Place, we have owned our property since 1991. I want to
thank the City for all of the efforts for putting together the public plan. Citizens are not the only
ones that have concerns about the foothills plan, your Planning and Zoning Commission
expressed concerns on the comp plan. Discussion on density.

Mary May, 1839 N. Long Ridge Place, I am an Idaho native and a resident of Eagle. I also work
for M3 but I am here tonight to speak as a resident of Eagle. Idaho is the 3rd fastest growing
State in the Nation. It is not a matter of growth, growth is here. Do you want this area to be
managed by Ada County, Meridian or Star? M3 is the partner to develop this area. Discussion
on the density. They have put together a 30 year growth plan. Growth will happen. I strongly
urge the City Council to support M3.

the major things that you are counting on for roads, transportation and etc. have comments about
M3 and they are highly concerned about the planning area for M3.
Kathy Pennisi, 3675 N. Southern Place, I was almost done and there are a couple of things I want
to finish. We should put vineyards in our comp plan if we are going to embrace this. Discussion

Subject: M3/School District Meeting[Scanned]
Thanks for meeting with us yesterday to discuss initial options for providing schools in
M3 Eagle. School financing is certainly challenging in the existing legislative
environment and we appreciate the opportunity to hear your thoughts and concerns and
explore financing mechanisms to help you meet district needs.
I wanted to make a clarification to the first option we presented. M3 would build the
first elementary school in our community. The district would then purchase another school
site or sites in a later phase of the project to equal the cost of the first facility not
to exceed $X. The remainder of the sites would be donated to the district.
We look forward to meeting with you again in 2 weeks to continue our discussion.

Jeff and Bill:
I thought our meeting on Wednesday was valuable.
Regarding meeting again. however. I am finding that we seen to be well past the point where me
meeting with you "on the side", can take us anywhere. So, I must decline getting together next week.
I got nothing, but negative reaction and suspicion from the several of our Steering Committee members
with whom I shared our conversation, which I portrayed in a generally positive/cautiously hopeful light.
The general sense, and I must agree, is that we have been very clear in describing our concerns and our
vision, in many forums and in many different ways. It really seems like we need to hear/see something
from you that indicates you are really listening, to see what you are able to offer, related both to your
specific project and to pulling the whole picture together in a credible way. Everything we care about is
on record and is pretty specific.
In any case, the course from here is not me working with you directly, individually and "out of earshot".
In addition to NACFA (for whom I may be default spokesperson, but do not control), there are now
other groups and other constituencies paying attention, raising issues, and bringing data to the table. We
will work with you if you really are willing to change course in some major ways and truly join the
party, but it must must be "we", not just me, and I don't see any quick fixes.
Best Regards,
JP

SUMMER. 2006
PAGE 31
1 Establish a network of trails for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians that
is accessible to the public.
1 Avoid development in steep areas in the front range of the foothills and
other visually sensitive areas
1 Ensure that future development has access to an adequate supply of water,
without adversely impacting water supplies for existing residents or other
users
Ensure that new growth funds the cost of public facility improvements
needed to serve it (e.g , water, wastewater treatment, transportation,
schools, fire protection, law enforcement, schools and other needed
services).
In general, a constraints -based approach to future development and planning
for this area is recommended. The relative intensity of development in any given
portion of the planning area is related to the degree of environmental and other
constraints there. The planning area has been divided into four specific areas
which generally correspond to different levels of constraints (see Figure _).
Recommended development intensities in these areas are as follows:
1 Ar F. - ft n ;r i ,: , , «+ , : ; •, . This area has the lowest proportion
of environmentally sensitive resources overall It also is relatively close to
one of the major roadways providing access to the North Foothills (Highway
16) Approximately 15-35% of land (2,500 - 5,900 acres) in this area is
constrained by steep slopes, visually sensitive areas, floodplains, riparian
areas or other sensitive resources, depending on whether slopes between
15% and 25% are included in the supply of constrained lands. This leaves
approximately 11,450 - 14,800 potentially developable acres. An average
overall density of approximately one unit per two to five acres {gross density)
is recommended for development within this area, with the following more
specific recommendations.
▪ Without the provision of urban or community services, development
should be at lower densities (one dwelling per five or ten acres).
▪ In larger developments (i.e., more than 100 units proposed), urban
services would be required and the majority of development should be
clustered or concentrated in higher density development - 75% of all
housing units, developed at approximately three to five units per Acre
(net density) in exchange for density bonuses resulting in densities of up
to one unit per two acres gross density, with remaining (and preserved
in open space rn perpetuity. Remaining development (25%) within large
proposed communities may be in the form of larger lots (two to five
acres). (see example illustration on page _)
.. Overall, at (east 20-30% of land within the area should be conserved as
open space, consistent with the amount of land with sensitive resources
in this area and focused on such land
▪ In smaller developments without urban services, clustering of
development also will be encouraged and/or required to conserve a
minimum of 25 to 30 percent open space However, net densities for
clustered development would be lower
▪ Publicly owned lands shall not be counted towards open space
requirements.
.. , 1 , • This area has the highest
proportion of environmentally sensitive resources overall. It also has limited
access to major roadways providing access to the North Foothills Access
would be via roads through neighborhoods to the south with limited
capacity. Approximately 65-80% of land in this area is constrained by
steep slopes, visually sensitive areas, floodplains, riparian areas or other
sensitive resources, depending on whether slopes between 15% and
25% are included in the supply of constrained lands. This leaves
approximately L900 - 4,000 potentially developable acres An average
gross density of approximately one per 20 - 30 acres rs recommended for
calculating potential future buildout development within this area, assuming
some clustering occurs as described below. More specific, additional
recommendations for future development in this area include the following.
.. Provide Base densities would be one unit per 40 acres, with density
bonuses of up one unit per 10 acres in exchange for clustering
development on one quarter of the site and preserving the remaining
land in permanent open space through dedications, deed restrictions
or other means.
▪ Require conservation of at least 50-70% of land within the area as
permanent open space, consistent with the amount of land with
sensitive resources in this area and focused on such land.
▪ Allow for only relatively small concentrations of development within
a given area (no more than 150 dwellings) and require clustering for
developments of 50 or more dwellings.

PAGE 33
This area has a moderate
proportion of environmentally sensitive resources overall and is accessible
from one of the major roadways providing access to the North Foothills
(Highway 55). Approximately 35-65% of land in this area is constrained
by steep slopes, visually sensitive areas, floodplains, riparian areas or other
sensitive resources An overall average gross density of approximately
one unit per eight to 12 acres is recommended for calculating potential
future buildout development within this area, assuming some clustering
of development occurs as described below More specific, additional
recommendations for future development in this area include the following.
▪ Base densities for development would be one unit per 20 acres.
Additional development would be allowed through a combination
of density bonuses of up to one unit per four acres, contingent
upon clustering development on 50% percent of the site or less, and
preserving the remaining land in permanent open space.
.. Require conservation of at least 35-60% of land within the area as
permanent open space, consistent with the amount of land with
sensitive resources in this area and focused on such land
▪ Developments without urban services would be limited to no more than
50 units, would not be allowed to be denser than one unit per four
acres overall, and would require clustering of dwellings. Densities in
areas where dwellings are concentrated could be higher.
▪ In larger developments (Le., more than 250 units proposed), urban
services would be required and the majority of development should be
clustered or concentrated in higher density development - 75% of all
housing units, developed at approximately three to five units per acre in
exchange for density bonuses resulting in densities of up to one unit per
two acres gross density, with remaining land preserved in open space
in perpetuity. Remaining development (25%) within Targe proposed
communities may be in the form of larger lots (two to five acres). (see
example illustration on page _). Such developments would be limited
to no more than 500 dwellings.
1 Ai ea D - transitional development zone This area has a relatively
significant proportion of environmental resources, particularly east of
Highway 16 and encompasses the visually significant front range of the
Foothills. It also is adjacent to existing low density, rural residential
neighborhoods (5 - 40 acre lot sizes). Approximately 45-65% of land in
this area is constrained by steep slopes, visually sensitive areas, floodplains,
riparian areas or other sensitive resources At least 40-60% of land within
the area overall should be conserved as open space , consistent with the
amount of land with sensitive resources An overall average gross density of
approximately one unit per eight to 12 acres 1s recommended for calculating
potential future buildout development within this area (exclusive of publicly
owned land), assuming some clustering of development occurs as described
below In this area, retaining existing zoning is recommended, along with
the following additional provisions to conserve open space and protect
sensitive environmental resources'
▪ Strengthened hillside and ridgeline protection ordinances to protect
visually sensitive areas from development.
▪ Ordinances that protect other environmentally sensitive areas (riparian
areas, threatened and endangered plants or wildlife and floodplains)
▪ Requirements and/or incentives to cluster development to conserve
open space. However, resulting densities would be limited to one
dwelling per five acres.
▪ Publicly owned lands shall not be counted towards open space
requirements.

density bonuses are used The above table summarizes the potential number
of units that could be built in each intensity area, based on these general
density guidelines, the amount of constrained land in each area and variable
assumptions about the degree of potential clustered development and use of
density bonuses.

October 24, 2007
Re: CPA -07 -010 -Sherrie Ewing
Dear Mr. Friedman,
The Eagle City Council reviewed the above referenced:application on October 23, 2007, and requests that
the Meridian City Council deny the application to amend the comprehensive plan for CPA -07-010. The
property is located within the Eagle Area of City Impact and Eagle Comprehensive Plan. The City of
Eagle objects to this application for the following reasons:
Prior Planning:
The properties in question were added to the Eagle Comprehensive Plan and area of city impact
in 2004 at which time, though duly noticed, neither the applicant nor the City of Meridian
expressed concerns about the inclusion of the property into the Eagle Plan or AOI. Further, The
City of Eagle has -continued to work with the City Meridian to establish clearly identifiable
boundaries for .o it communities. The City of Eagle has previously agreed to remove over 570
acres from our approved AOI, along the north side -of Chinden up to the Phyllis Canal. At that
time the Aldape property was spoken about and it was clearly stated by the Eagle City Council
that the.area-north of the Phyllis Canal should -remain in the Eagle AOI and be developed with the
same guidelines and standards that the City of Eagle has used for all river and floodplain
developments. Further, the cities discussed the need to support each jurisdiction's unique land
use and planning efforts. This application is in direct conflict to the cities' ability to support each
others unique designs and community identities and is reminiscent of the concerns Meridian is
expressing about Kuna in their southern area of impact.
Intent of the Ada County Commissioners:
In 2004, the City of Eagle and the Board of Ada County Commissioners spent 6 months in
discussions over the Eagle Area of Impact that was eventually approved, including this site and
the property south of the Phyllis Canal that was annexed by Meridian in 2005. During the AOI
approval process, significant time was spent on the requirements under Idaho Code 67-65 and
how they apply to the City of Eagle:
Reasonability to Annex: The applicant states that this application is necessary due the
City of Eagle being more than five (5) miles from the site. At this point the City of Eagle
is less than 4,000 feet from the site requiring the annexation of less than 5 parcels to
become contiguous. (See Attachment A)
Page 1 of 5
K:1Planning Dept\Misc Letters120071Meridian Comp Plan N. of Phyllis canal.doc
Geographic Boundaries:
It is clear that during previous discussions between the Eagle and Meridian City Councils
that the cities agree that the Phyllis Canal and bench to the south of this site are clear
geographic boundaries providing easily identifiable boundaries between our
communities. The ownerships of the proposed application are fractured and irregular in
shape. The project site is less than half of the area identified in the Eagle Comprehensive
Plan as the "River Plain Planning Area" and will result in isolating parcels not included
in this application, which want to be part of Eagle, from ever becoming part of the City of
Eagle. This request in no way provides either community clearly identifiable boundaries
nor does it identify geographic boundaries as Idaho Code prescribes.
Land Uses:
The land uses identified within the 2007 Eagle Comprehensive Plan are Floodway, Residential
Two, and, Transitional Residential. All these designations are located within the River Plain
Planning Area (Attachment B). Chapter 6.3 of the -Eagle Comprehensive Plan defines these land
uses as:
Floodway (aprox. 149 acres)
Floodway areas are defined as specifically shown on the newest edition of the
Federal Emergency Management Administration maps along the Boise River and
Dry Creek (Generally shown on the Land Use Map which is a part of this Plan).
These areas are to remain open space because of the nature of the floodway which
can pose significant hazards during a flood event. Also, the floodway areas shall not
be considered as a part of the minimum area of open space required (as required
within .the =zoning ordinance) unless developed as noted within this paragraph.
Floodway areas shall be excluded from being used for calculating permitted
residential densities. Any portion of the floodway developed as a substantially
improved wildlife habitat area open to the public, or useable public open space, such
as a pathways, ball fields, parks, or similar amenities as may be approved by the City
-- - Council, may be credited toward the minimum open space required for a
development.
When discrepancies exist between the floodway boundary shown on the Land Use
Map and the floodway boundary shown on the Federal Emergency Management
Administration maps such that the floodway area is smaller than that shown on the
Land Use Map the adjacent land use designation shown shall be considered to abut
the actual floodway boundary.
When new floodway boundaries are approved by FEMA and/or the City, the
floodway area on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map should be revised to
reflect any new floodway line.
Residential Two (approx. 396 acres)
Suitable primarily for single family residential development within areas that are
rural in character. Maximum density of up to 2 units per 1 acre.
Residential Transition (Aprox. 100 acres)
Residential development that provides for a transition of density within the planning
area while keeping in context the density, scaling and lot sizes of existing or
Page 2 of 5
K:IPlanning Dept\Misc Letters120071Meridian Comp Plan N. of Phyllis canal.doc
proposed uses. Commonly requires changes in lot dimensions and scaling, see
specific planning area text for a complete description. (River Plain Planning Area
identifies 2-3 units per acres)
The overall density for this area under the Eagle Comprehensive Plan is calculated at 1.6 units per
acre (nearly half the density of the 3 units per acre proposed by the Meridian comprehensive plan
amendment application). Further, under Chapter 6.3 of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan the
densities are calculated as follows:
"Development density shall be calculated by project. Unused density for
undeveloped or underdeveloped land adjacent to or within the same land use
designation will not be transferred or used to "balance" or "maximize" densities with
in an area. Clustering will only be allowed as specified in the "Parks, Recreation,
and Open Spaces" chapter of the Comprehensive Plan."
Unless all of this area is submitted as a single development project/plat, densities would not be
eligible for transfer between parcels under the Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
Communities in Motion:
The proposed comprehensive plan amendment is an expansion of the "residential subdivision"
land uses into an area that was not proposed to be development to this intensity under the
Communities in Motion Plan. The intensification of land uses in this area will have direct impacts
on the regional transportation system and most specifically Hwy 20/26. Considering Meridian's
recent concerns about Eagle's comprehensive planning in areas that would further expand
residential uses in area not previously planned for it is important to note that Meridian's approval
of this application would -be -contrary to the CIM Plan as well.
(htto://www.commiznitiesinmotion.ori. /Documents/datarenorts/choiland B.odf)
Schools:
Through the development of the Eagle Comprehensive Plan in 2004, this area was identified as a
location for a future elementary school. Though the applicant references a discussion with
Wendell Bigham about "welcoming this area into Meridian", the area was already in the Meridian
School district as is all of Star and the -majority of Eagle. Using Meridian School District's
student generation calculations, this site developed at 3 units per acre would yield approximately
1,920 households generating .43 elementary students per household, approximately 825 students,
or an entire elementary school without consideration of the properties located in the "River Plain
Planning Area that are riot part of this application.
Transportation/Access:
The applicant states that one of the main reasons for the request to be included in the City of
Meridian Comprehensive Plan is access to Basco Lane from the south to this site. Though the
City of Eagle agrees that Basco Lane may provide access to the site the historical and primary
access for the majority of the site is along Duck Alley from Linder Road to the east of the site.
The City of Eagle through it's comprehensive plan and discussions with ITD continues to work
with ITD to consider access spacing on the new State Highway 16 river crossing to provide
another access point to the west of this site. Due to the volatile nature of the floodway it is
important to consider multiple points of access to this area.
Page 3 of 5
K:IPlanning Dept\Misc Letters120071Meridian Comp Plan N. of Phyllis canal.doc
Design/Open Space:
The City of Eagle has a minimum open space requirement of 20% for residential developments.
Less than 50% of the required open space can be made up of floodways. There is no mention of
how open space will be addressed on an individual development application. The City of Eagle
would not allow for portions of the Spurwing Golf Course to serve as open space for future
developments in this area due to the "members only" access to this facility.
Implementing Ordinances:
The proposed comprehensive plan amendment and subsequent development north of the Phyllis
Canal should move forward under the highest standards for floodplain management as the
impacts from the removal of vegetation, grading, construction and filling (standard development
practices) significantly impact the physical and biological processes of the Boise River and has
been demonstrated by the adverse impacts to the communities adjacent to the river, within the last
few years.
The City of Meridian, to date, has made no progress in addressing Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) policy which encourages participating communities to establish
sound floodplain management programs that recognize and encourage community floodplain
management activities that exceed the minimum National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
requirements. Contemporary floodplain management activities require an overall community
program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing future flood damage. These measures
take a variety of forms and generally include zoning, subdivision, or building requirements, and
special-purpose floodplain ordinances. The City of Meridian has adopted the basic FEMA model
ordinance, to participate in the NFIP, with minimal revisions.
The City of Eagle has; over the last decade, developed a floodplain management process that
promotes the wise use of floodplain in order to minimize flood risks, reduce losses from floods,
protect public health and safety, and improve the quality of life for the community. The City of
Eagle has taken an active roll in floodplain management activities. The City of Eagle, by adopting
higher regulatory standards, has demonstrated that approved developments along the Boise River
have not adversely impacted the natural environment or created increased downstream impacts.
The City of Eagle participates in the Community Rating System (CRS), a FEMA endorsed
program, which provides a 20 percent discount on flood insurance premiums in the Special Flood
Hazard Area (SFHA) and a ten percent discount for insurance outside the SFHA. The City of
Eagle has a Class 6 designation (only 80 communities in the United States hold this standing) and
has held this classification since April 1, 2000. The City of Meridian has no standing in this
program.
The City of Eagle has one of only six (6) Certified Floodplain Managers in the State of Idaho.
Floodplain managers usually specialize in one or more aspects of floodplain management. The
Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) program promotes a level of expertise in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). Certified Floodplain Managers have a working knowledge of flood
studies and maps, NFIP rules and regulations, regulatory standards, ordinance administration,
flood insurance, hazard mitigation, and knowledge of natural and beneficial floodplain functions.
In conclusion, the City of Eagle recognizes the desires of these land owners to develop their property and
has recognized that desire in the Eagle Comprehensive Plan. Development of this area should be done in
a manner commensurate with the natural and irreplaceable values of the land and be reviewed, monitored,
and approved under guidelines that protect the health safety and welfare of the land owner, future
Page 4 of 5
K:1Planning Dept\Misc Letters120071Meridian Comp Plan N. of Phyllis canal.doc
residents, and the overall community. The site is questions has been seen for years as an unique area that
lends itself both in geographic location and physical condition as part of the City of Eagle. The densities
described in the Eagle Comprehensive Plan will have less impact than those described in this proposed
application and are reflective of the land's limitations and the overall community values expressed during
a 10 -month community wide visioning and planning process.
The City of Eagle has great concerns over development within the Boise River floodway and floodplain
within the City of Meridian without the codes, trained staff or experience in reviewing and monitoring
developments within these complex areas.
The City of Eagle wishes to support Meridian in the development and advancement of the City of
Meridian but please do not do it at the expense of the City of Eagle, our planning; or the overall health,
safety and, welfare of the overall community and the Boise River.

sidewalks and landscaped medians. Sufficient rights-of-way and setbacks should be
preserved to facilitate the construction of this roadway.
c. Design
This area should be recognized as the signature residential area for the Western Planning
Area. The integration of varying lot sizes and uses should be seamless with continuity of
street design, open space, trails and housing throughout that area.
Floating Feather Road and State Highway 16 should be designated as a minor gateway to
the City of Eagle with appropriate landscaping, entry features and place -making features
integrated into the design of the area.
Lot configuration and housing sizes should be mixed throughout the area to provide a
variety of housing options within a single neighborhood or development.
d. Issues
The main concerns in the development of the area are the integration of varying lot sizes
and housing styles. The vision for the area is contingent on the integration of uses and
providing a flow of housing units throughout the area to avoid creating defined separation
from estate areas and patio home areas, for example. Further, the provision of open space
and trails through the area should be a key element in the approval process for
developments that are proposed in the area.
6 8.5 River Plain Residential Area
The River Plain Residential Area is designated as residential and open space. This area should
provide trails, open space, and parks in conjunction with transitional residential densities. The
overall density of the area is 1-2 units per acre. The area of higher densities of 2-3 units per
acre will be located north of the rim and will transition into clustered large lot residential use (1
acre lots) in the areas adjacent to the river.
a. Uses
The land use and development policies specific to the River Plain Residential Area include
the following:
1. Overall residential density of 1-2 units per acre south of the Boise River.
2. Higher densities (2-3 units per acre) beneath the rim transitioning into clustered large
lot residential use (1 unit per 1-2 acres) adjacent to the river.
3. Open space and trail located adjacent to the river in
conjunction with the continuation of the regional
trail system;
Page 50 of 102
2007 CITY OF EAGLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
4. Setbacks from streams, irrigation and drains for trails and open space;
5. Use of transitional lot sizes and clustering when new development abuts existing
subdivisions, business and office use to the north;
6. Feathering of lots sizes as densities transition north from the rim to the river;
7. North of the Boise River the lot patterns shall be a continuation of the large lot clusters
found in Moon Valley Ranch; 1 unit/2 acres.
8. Cluster subdivisions should provide permanent dedicated open space.
Illustration 6.4
Floodplain Cluster Example
b. Access
Access to the area from Highway 16 shall be limited to 1 mile intervals with separated
access points south of Moon Valley Road along the Highway 16 extension.
All uses shall rely on internal circulation and a proper street hierarchy to safely and
efficiently move traffic through the area without forcing local trips onto the regional
roadway network.
A pathway and trails network should be encouraged to provide pedestrians/bicycle access
along the Boise River corridor and from that corridor north into the Moon Valley Area and
south into the higher density residential area.
The Highway 16 corridor should be designated as a scenic corridor requiring berming and
landscaping within the City of Eagle.
Moon Valley Road to the north of this area will be a
mixed use pedestrian scale street that will be designed to
Page 51 of 102
2007 CITY OF EAGLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
include pedestrian and bicycle access from the River Plain Residential Area.
c. Design
The River Plain Residential Area should be recognized as uniquely "Eagle" residential area
providing large lot residential uses (1 unit per 1-2 acres) with views of the Boise River
combined with moderate density residential areas (2-3 units per acre) north of the rim.
The integration of lot sizes and densities should be seamless with continuity of street
design, open space, trails and housing throughout the area.
All access points along Highway 16 should be designated as minor gateways to the City of
Eagle with appropriate landscaping, entry features and place -making features integrated
into the design of the area.
Design of lots and homes sites should take into consideration the scenic, wildlife, and river
corridor and provide sufficient setback and buffering to sensitive habitat and floodway
areas.
d. Issues
The main concerns in the development of the area are the integration of lot sizes and
housing styles. The vision for the area is contingent on the integration of uses and
providing a flow of housing units throughout the area to avoid creating defined separation
between estate areas and moderate density areas, for example. Further, the flow and
provision of open space and trails through the area should be a key element in the approval
process for developments that are proposed in the area. This residential area should greatly
limit commercial, retail and office uses. Commercial, retail and office uses desiring to
locate along the Highway 16 corridor should be located in the Chinden Road Planning Area
or the Moon Valley & State Planning Area. Special concern shall be made for the
floodway and floodplain to limit uses that are not consistent with the delicate nature of
these areas.
6.8.6 Eagle Island Planning Area
The Eagle Island Planning Area is designated as open space, recreation and limited residential.
This area should provide trails, open space, and parks in conjunction with limited residential
densities of 1 unit per 1-2 acres. The visioning for this area is to complete a pathway and
recreation connection across Eagle Island.
a. Uses
The land use and development policies specific to the Eagle Island Planning Area include
the following:
1. Clustered large lot residential use: 1 unit per 2 acres;

Dying lawns and dirty cars should become `badges of honor'
as main water source for millions could dry up in just 90 days
BY GREG BLUESTEIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFORD, Ga. — If there's a ground zero for the epic
drought that's tightening its grip on the South, it's once -
mighty Lake Lanier, the Atlanta water source that's now
a relative puddle surrounded by acres of dusty red clay.
Tall measuring sticks once covered by a dozen feet of
water stand bone dry. "No Diving" signs rise from rocks
25 feet from the water. Crowds of boaters have been re-
placed by men with metal detectors searching the arid
lake bed for lost treasure.
"This lake is a survivor," Jeff "Buddha" Powell told a
worried customer at his bait shop along the barren
banks.
"If you panic, you don't help Mother Nature," he
added. "It's going to ram when it rains."
But little rain is in the forecast, and without it, clima-
tologists say the main water source for more than 3 mil-
lion people could run dry in just 90 days.
That dire prediction has some towns considering
more drastic measures than mere lawn -watering bans,
including mandatory rationing that would penalize
homeowners and businesses if they don't reduce water

RE: Approval of the Comprehensive plan and M3 Eagle approval
I live at the gateway to BLM property and close to phase 1 of M3 Eagle. We all share
fear and distrust. At the risk of alienating my friends and neighbors, my husband (who is
elk hunting) and I feel that the best place for new housing is in the foothills.
I believe in the integrity and faithfulness of M3 Eagle to their vision to provide a serene
development with open vistas to nature. I believe they will proceed with caution through
their phases of development so as not to overtax the available water or overgrow the
improving infrastructure. I welcome a thoughtfully designed area, as I am not fond of the
invasive cheat grass, deep badger holes and blowing weeds that stack up against my
fences and clog the canal. I am not fond of certain Eagle residents who drive past my
house to dump their trash or use it for target practice, and drive their noisy off-road
vehicles tearing up the landscape as they go.
The intelligent way to plan the area North of Beacon Light up to the foothills a4
Highway 16 is to continue the rural housing with acreages to preserve the last of the
agricultural areas for future grape growers, hay growers and livestock owners. It would
show great planning forethought, if developers were required to link their acreages to the
foothills with pathways. Please let 20 of the urban density plan in this area. These new
high-density developments going before Ada County will impact water, transportation
and other infrastructure more than foothills development that contains some trip
capturing amenities. I would be very happy if the only multi -use planned near Hwy. 16 is
a reasonably priced grocery store, gas station and fishing tackle shop for my husband
when he isn't elk hunting.
I look forward to development that will pleasantly surprise even the critics. I trust
M3Eagle management far more than the new developers between Linder and Hwy. 16,
North of Beacon Light who send Stanley Consultants to present their high density
housing plans to residents so they don't quote, "waste their time."

5035 Willow Creek Road
Eagle
Over the past 4-5 years I have been attending numerous hearings, meetings, and
workshops, as well as participating in the transportation workshop for Eagle
comprehensive plan. I also have participated in the ones for Ada County.
Mayor and Councilmen, you have before you several proposals. The most important is
the comprehensive sub area Plan for the Foothills. It is incomplete — there are no density
goals in the plan — this is critical to the plan. This is one area the residents of the Eagle
area have spoken loud and clear on we want lower densities and want the rural
character of the foothills maintained.
Throughout the Eagle Foothills Sub Area Planning Process the major landowners and
developers, with their consultants, participated in all of the workshops and committees
and were a part of hearing the resident input. M3 participated in this process and yet
continues with their own idea of how the foothills should be developed with very few
changes to their development plan.. Their development agreement does not meet the
goals set forth in the foothills plan. M3 wants the city of Eagle to sign a contract ahead
of the adoption of a comprehensive plan that specifies density. This contract will have a
life of 20-30 years until build out. This development agreement only benefits M3 and
sets precedence for future development. M3 has used information from their consultants
to justify their plan. For the most part there has been no peer review. Some of their
consultant's work that has been reviewed by city paid consultants has been found lacking
on many issues.
What do we see when we clear away all of the chaff? Road intersections in the
"F" category, over burdened roadways with no money to pay for them, the schools will
be overcrowded and if built our taxes will skyrocket to pay for them. Water issues are
"being studied". We are told that our fears are unfounded — not to worry — everything
will be fine. Development will pay for itself.
In M3's own words; "we do not build anything higher than a curb", where will we
be in 10-20 years when M-3 is long gone?
You have a choice with this agenda, I urge you to deny the M-3 Development
Agreement.
Will you listen to the citizens of Eagle who elected you?
Or
Will you listen to the out of state interests who build nothing higher than a curb and have
given you a bag of promises that could be empty?

Mayor Merrill & Members of the Council,
For most of my life I have been uninvolved in politics on any level. Not to my
liking, you have seen far too much of me in the past year and a half but the
lifestyle I had chosen by moving to Eagle is constantly being threatened.
Do I want 5,000, 8,000, 12,000 or more new residences built in the foothills north
of Eagle? Not really. Do I want the additional traffic problems this density will
bring? Definitely Not! Had I wanted to live in a densely populated area I wouldn't
have chosen Eagle for my home. But does my not wanting these developments
make them go away? Of course not. It's my opinion that much of this
development will take place within our county whether or not the Eagle
Comprehensive Plan is amended to include the land in question.
This is a complicated issue and even though tonight's agenda doesn't allow for
the annexation or approval of the M3Eagle or Suncor projects, it can allow for
their impact nonetheless.
You have the power to reject the inclusion of these projects in the Foothills
Comprehensive Plan as I understand it. But should you adopt the Foothills Plan
as it stands, you, and your predecessors will undoubtedly see me back at this
podium with concern and opinions as the developers bring there projects to the
table.

Deliberations on Comp plan
October 16, 2007
Comments by: Steve Purvis
3939 Brookside Lane
Boise
Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns relative to the
adoption of the Comp Plan under consideration including the M3
development
I would like to commend you for your decision to have Dr Allred of
Allred Solutions and Don Reading of Ben Johnson Associates
provide input into this process. They have provided valuable
information in evaluating the process alternatives and financial
implications of the current plan including M3
I will limit my comments to the financial implications of the work that
was performed.
First Don Reading pointed out that relatively small changes in pricing
levels and build -out rates for both residential and commercial
construction can provide a very different forecast of the funds
available to governmental entities to provide services and
infrastructure. Acknowledging this potential range of outcomes is an
important consideration in evaluating the viability of a plan or
development. He also pointed out that the Idaho Economics
evaluation did not include capital costs. In my view not considering
capital needs is a fatal flaw.
Two points about both of these reviews.
First, they assume that the existing level of service is adequate and
that there is not a back log of capital needs for almost all
infrastructure categories (roads, schools, libraries, parks, water,
waste water, etc.). I believe the ongoing discussions in the media
would say we are behind in both level of service and infrastructure.
Forecasting that a development will be able to potentially generate
sufficient funds to provide the existing level of service and
infrastructure only compounds the problems.
Second, In my opinion, Eagle is very vulnerable due to the
composition of their current revenue structure. You are very
dependent on one time revenues (building permit fees) to support on
going services. Currently building permit fees make up approximately
20% on your base operating revenues. The projections of revenues in
the Idaho Economics forecast reflects the same high level of
dependence on this non recurring source to offset base operating
expenses. Not a good prescription for being able to provide existing
services in a slow down or after build -out.
Currently there are a series of studies being performed in an attempt
to get a handle on the infrastructure needs and operating and
maintenance needs/demands and possible revenue streams to bring
them into balance. Considering the magnitude of the items under
discussion it would be wise to proceed slowly until this information is
available.
Recommendation:
1. Do not approve a comp plan until you have a clear
understanding of the impact of the plan on service demands
and infrastructure needs and the means of financing them.
2. Do not approve a development plan until all of the comp plan
work has been completed
Thank you for providing me with this opportunity
