Merrill, Mayor ATTEST: Sharon K. Bergmann, City Clerk Page 1 G /0, 30 -07 Ben Johnson Associates, Inc. 6070 Hill Road Phone: (208) 342-1700 Boise, Idaho 83703 Fax: (208) 384-1511 To: Susan Buxton, Nichoel R. Baird Spencer From: Don Reading Date: October 28, 2007 Re: Major Differences With M3 Study General T The M3 Impact Analysis lays out the type, value, and pace of development of residential units over the 20 -year development time period. M3 says its absorption studies support the numbers used in the Impact Study (study not provided). M3 tacitly accepts our concern when it says as the project moves forward changes may be made to meet the needs of the housing market. This uncertainty makes it difficult to estimate both the revenues that might be derived from the project (property taxes, impact fees, state revenue sharing, etc.) and the services that will need to be delivered from various governmental entities to support the new residents. T M3's Impact Analysis make definitive statements about positive net fiscal impacts for governmental entities over the 20 -year period of development. For the three governmental entities we examined (City of Eagle, ACHD Meridian Joint School District #2), using different but reasonable assumptions, we cannot be certain that there will be these positive net fiscal impacts. Commercial Development T M3's updates since the Impact Analysis has reduced the commercial development to 1.6 million square feet, with 55 percent now targeted for the Community Core. T M3 says their traffic studies (not provided) project 36,000 vehicle trips per day through the village center from M3 alone. This daily traffic would be equivalent to the current traffic at State Street and Pierce Park (35,706) or Eagle Road and Overland (36,695). They state this is the only planned arterial connector between Highways 16 and 55. 1 T T T Densities M3 objects to our statements about the majority of the commercial development being at the Community Core rather than along Highways 16 and 55. At the same time, however, they also object to our comparisons of M3 with the slower -than - anticipated commercial developments in Hidden Springs and Harris Ranch because they were not on a major arterial. The City's Comprehensive Plan states that major commercial centers should be located along Highway's 16 and 55. As currently planned, the allocation of commercial space in M3 appears to be at odds with the city's Comprehensive Plan. While it is true that Hidden Springs' commercial space is not on an arterial, Harris Ranch's commercial development is located on Highway 21. Nonetheless, this commercial space has developed far more slowly than anticipated. T M3 objected to our analysis of densities because the economic study was not a land use study and the densities we used are not part of the comprehensive plan. T City of Eagle T T We believe the density question is essential to the economic analysis because the decision of the Council on densities has a direct impact on the expected revenues and necessary expenditures. M3's updated analysis uses actual (rather than budget) general fund expenditures (including capital spending), and adjusts the fiscal years to calendar year 2006. With this approach M3 finds a value of $273.70 expenditures per person per year. The original Impact Analysis used a value of $275 in O&M expenditures per person and thus came to the same conclusions found in their report: a net fiscal impact of the City of Eagle of $30 million over the 20 -year development period. The difference between budgeted and actual expenditures is the amount of carryover from one fiscal year to the next. This has varied between $1.4 and $2.4 million over the past four years for the City of Eagle. If the intention is to continually carry over these funds, they probably should not be included in the calculation of expenditures per person. If, however, the intention of the Council is to expend these funds for special or ongoing needs, then they should legitimately be included. 2 T T ACHD We believe a more acuate measure is to use total expenditures, which include all funds, rather than general fund expenditures, in order to find expenditures per person per year. Total expenditures, less the water fund (an enterprise fund) were adjusted from fiscal years to calendar year 2006. This yielded per person expenditures of $387, not counting the carry over, and $523 per person including the carry over. Given M3's assumptions for the value and pace of development, using total expenditures and excluding the carry over, we find a net fiscal impact of $1.6 million over the 20 -year development period. If the carryover is included, a negative 20 -year net benefit of -$29.9 million is found. T M3's updated analysis finds: Additional revenue from auto registration, revenue sharing and sales tax of $20.3 million, Offsite improvements of $48.1 million found in a Stanley Consulting Study (not provided), Using ACHD capital expenditures, adjusted for impact fees, federal and cooperative agreements, along with O&M cost, finds expenditures of $19,618 per mile or $30.9 million over the 20 years of the development. T T T Not including offsite improvements and including the additional revenues and adjusted capital costs, M3 finds a net fiscal impact of $62.1 million over the 20 - year development period. M3's Impact Analysis does not include the impact of transportation costs that lie outside the geographical boundaries of the development. As an example of what those potential impacts might be, we used the recently released Tier 1 study that indicated as much as $100 million would be allocated to M3. Stanley Consulting says we misinterpreted the Tier 1 study and their study says 'less than $50 million' in costs outside the development (study not provided). We agree with the additional revenues used by M3 and the exclusion of some capital expenditures. We also agree that some offsite improvement costs will be paid by M3 and should legitimately be included on the revenue side. However all transportation costs outside the development have not been defined. If they would be less than the $60 million found by M3 there would be a positive net impact; if they would be more than $60 million there would be a negative net fiscal impact. 3 Meridian Joint School District #2 T T M3 produced a scenario where the taxable value of the development were cut by one-third. This adjustment dropped the estimate of net fiscal impact from $169.3 million to $107.0 million over the 20 -year period. M3 then simulated the bonding process for school construction cost phased through the 20 -year development period. With the one-third decrease in taxable values and the bonding simulation, M3 calculated the 206 year a positive net impact at $69.7 million. T As M3 stated in their Impact Analysis, the Idaho Legislature changed the way schools' M&O are funded. School Districts no longer can levy property taxes for M&O. The M3 analysis uses a tax levy rate for the Meridian School District of 0.003882 mils that accounts for this change (from the old rate of 0.006553). T The District's taxing authority that accounts for the current levy is from: T Student Enrollment Emergency .000493 T Tort - Liability Insurance .000031 T Plant Facilities - 10 year, $20 million, voter approv .000755 T Bond - several, $20 million max, voter approv .001814 T Supplemental, 2 yr (FY08,09), $10 million, voter approv .000687 T T TOTAL .00378 M3's Impact Analysis found the Meridian Schools District's property tax revenue over the 20 -year development period at the current levy rate would be $187.7 million. If assessed values are reduced by one-third this value drops by $62.3 million to $125.4 million. The majority of the levy authority (86%) is voter approved and subject to caps and time limits. If it is assumed this same levy rate will be in effect for the 20 year development period the revenues calculated by M3, given their values and pace of development, are valid. To the extent that voters might reject some of the currently approved levy levels, then revenues from M3's development would be reduced and the net fiscal decreased accordingly. 4 a t R• r^ 0: � Air - ti grAMMEirefik.e... 4:46.411.7 .itimIgt 4—a r � O 9r 1 t • r b 3 � 1' N •1 • JOS, • 4 i4*...l �; ior. , a .1. ix t n J .. ▪ 4 • ,•. r # 9• �9 • Paul D.

Staff recognizes that this is a complex subject and will provide a verbal overview during the public hearing. Staff Responses to Foothills Testimony: Who Should Plan? Idaho Code provides for two types of Applications "Citizen" initiated and "City Initiated". Overall the vast majority of the applications the City process for CPA are "Citizen initiated". Over the past 5 years the City has received 32 total applications- 26 Citizen and 6 City. Of those applications 37% have received approval 37% were denied/withdrawn (didn't like the staff recommendations) and 6 applications are currently in review by the City Council. (See Attachment 1) Criticized when the city looks at change internally to meet the demands of growth -locating centers or clustering of units adjacent to schools sites. City may be able to amend every 6 months but Eagle does not conform to that cycle. Eagle has adopted 5 resolutions when 10 could have been completed. Timing of Applications: M3 was willing to and has held back their applications for inclusion into a city wide process, original approval date would have been December of 2006. The City Plan was not intended to replace the application made by M3 in 2006. The City plan was to provide information, context and a larger view of the development potential in the foothills. M3's application is independent of the City plan and would have been considered by the Council regardless of a City Plan. They are combined because they are eventually going to be in the same plan. It is the duty of the City Council to balance the requests to best serve the City. Page 1 of 6 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CPA\20071Foothdls CPA rebuttal me.doc How to Plan: Idaho Code 67-6508 details what the comprehensive plan needs to contain: See Below: (a) Property Rights -- An analysis of provisions which may be necessary to ensure that land use policies, restrictions, conditions and fees do not violate private property rights, adversely impact property values or create unnecessary technical limitations on the use of property and analysis as prescribed under the declarations of purpose in chapter 80, title 67, Idaho Code.

"High-voltage transmission lines" means lines with a capacity of one hundred fifteen thousand (115,000) volts or more supported by structures of forty (40) feet or more in height. Planning for Areas Outside of Eagle's Current AOI: In 1996 the City of Eagle requested an AOI expansion from Ada County to included the area west of Linder Road to SH16 (western area) and 2 %i miles north of Homer Road (Foothills). This request was to allow for the AOI expansion and then the City would complete a planning process for the area. In August of 1996 the City received a letter from Jeff Patlovich, Director of Ada County Development Services, stating that the City must first complete planning for the area before requesting an AOI expansion or negotiation with the Board of County Commissioners. In September of 1997, the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission stated concerns about including the western area and foothills into the City's comprehensive plan at a density of 1 unit per 5 acres questioning the appropriateness of including areas into the Comprehensive plan before a complete planning process could be done for the area. (See Attachment 2) The City of Eagle on August 27, 2007, requested that Ada County and the City enter into a "joint planning, review and adoption process" for the two foothills plan (Ada County and Eagle's) and an AOI expansion at that time the City was asked by the BOCC to move forward with our hearings on the plan and then come back with an adopted plan for the area to request an AOI. — This is a matter of public record on file with the BOCC Per testimony from ACRD they need the densities and locations of the units to move forward with the North Ada County Transportation Study and establishing extra -ordinary impact fees. Again, the plan must be done first Need to understand land uses to be able to assess the number of schools necessary to serve the area, have in the past located schools. If the Centers and use of transects are not endorsed by the City then it will not be possible to address the location of schools at this level. Note: The school district has not requested this detail of Information. (See New School District Letter Attachment 3) Page 3 of 6 K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CPA120071Foothills CPA rebuttal me.doc City Current Platting Process: The current COMPASS population forecasts of 1.1% annually are not realistic- The plan is a "build out plan" 1) what happened when the entire area develops; 2) based on realistic growth rates when is that anticipated to happen. Currently approved lots- Important to differentiate between approved lots and zoning- zoning allows for the platting of property (a—5month process) platting allows for the construction of homes. Testimony has stated that the City has approved over 4,000 lost in the City. The actual lot count using City Records, Compass Records and the Ada County Recorder/Assessor Records is as follows: 487 units within approved final plats (lots date from 1980 to current) 1,883 approved preliminary plats (range from 2005 to current) (still need to do improvements andfinal could take up to 2 years before they become available)(See Attachment 4) TOTAL: 2,370 units not 4,000 Table 20: Ada County Residential & Non -Residential Final Plats by City Limits January to December 2006 City Lots 5". 61 ,Gavden Cite j 2291 ^.una 663 l 2.741 -32 Acres J Average Lots Per .acre !

Keeping in mind that platting and building come in cycles, we do not plat the same number of lots as we build each year. Further at 2,400 units is still Iess than. Density High densities in Foothills at 1 unit per 2.5 acres this will be the least dense development in the entire county with the existing City of Eagle coming in second. (See Attachment 5) Discrepancy/clarification of information: This is a participatory process information evolves and changes through the process. Must come to meetings or contact staff if there are questions. This is one on the reasons most application information is not on-line and required the public to come to the City so that information is not taken out of context. Most information is used out of context to better support arguments that have since been mitigated or resolved. Economics: I defer to Dr. Reading. The anticipation is that development should not cost the community "no net loss" this is the threshold that both APFO and concurrency management bring forward. Proportionate share of cost created and demanded from development. APFO/Concurrency Management: This again is supported in the Comprehensive Plan before the Council page 91 states: Page 4 of 6 K:1Planning Dept\Eagle ApplicationslCPA120071Foothills CPA rebuttal me.doc "The City recognizes that the allowance of development within the foothills will create the need for significant improvements both internally and externally to the area. These impacts should be adequately assessed and distributed among the land owners within the foothills. The City and land owners should work with ACHD and establish a mechanism for the review and assessment of the transportation costs associated with the development of the Eagle Foothills and the implementation of this plan. Work with ACHD, ITD and/or other transportation authorities to pursue the collections and dedication of impact fees for improvements specific to the Eagle Foothills. All development in the foothills should be limited until the provision of basic municipal services can be established. These include: sewer municipal water, and transportation. All development within the Foothills Sub -area should connect to the City of Eagle Municipal water service unless otherwise indicated by the City of Eagle. Development in the Foothills should be evaluated for the impacts it will have to the existing city." Questions of State Lands: The State of Idaho does own 640 acres of endowment land within the foothills area. It has been clearly stated by Kate Langford (participated in the planning committees as well as been part of the open space discussion with BLM and land Owners ) the State lands are not intended to be open space/recreation areas in the long term. These lands are to be viewed similar to private lands and are to be a revenue source for schools. With this understanding and discussing option with both BLM and IDL the City treated them differently. The BLM lands were identified for public use and open space and the IDL property was treated like private property. Note: The Plan does state that the desire would be to find exchanges/buyers for the IDL property that would provide permanent protection of these lands as open space due to the location and characteristics of the property. Brookside Planning Area/Rodeo Basin: Rodeo Basin was included in the Brookside area based upon the P&Z record and topography. Understand the request. The inclusion of this area into the "Brookside Planning area" does not provide additional densities. The Community Center (pg 79 of P&Z Rec.) does not change its location at the proposed interchange at Brookside & SH55. The sphere of influence of to 1 mile for the clustering of base units into the "Urban": 4 units/acre and "Suburban": 2.5 units/acre would be more clearly defined. The location of Neighborhood Centers may occur in this area under the criteria found on page 81 of the P&Z Recommended Plan. (See Attachment 6) Any resort uses would be in lieu of the base density in this area. Page 5 of 6 K:1Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\CPA120071Foothills CPA rebuttal me.doc Brookside is a specific plan under the Foothills Planning Area. Wildlife Crossings: Paid by the developer -should be calculated into the extraordinary impact fee for the area as part of the Transportation Land Use integration Plan (TLIP) through ACHD & a condition of the development agreement at the time of development approval. Clarification of P&Z direction on Open Space: 40% total with 25% in natural/native, restored condition Example: 500 acre development. 200 acres required open space, 125 natural and 75 developed. Regional Roadway Connections: In previous years Boise, Ada County and ACRD looked at a potential arterial road connecting SH55 to Bogus Basin Road. Due to opposition from residents and eventual political issues the project was removed. The City plan does provide policies for the inclusion of a new e/w connection north of Beacon Light through the foothills but is recognized as both physically and politically constrained. Transit in Comprehensive Plan: References to transit densities in the Land use chapter on Page 80 and in transportation chapter on pages 142 &148. (See Attachment 7) Wine/Viticulture References: Found in 6.8.11(B) on page 83 of the Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation. Intended to be included in ECC 8-2A for design review standards as discussed as an implementation measure for the plan.

' f_ .;j. —i^.141 e 17 October 2007 Mayor Nancy Merrill City of Eagle 660 E. Civic Dr. Eagle, ID 33616 Dear Mayor Nancy, This letter is written, as promised, to underscore that the data and testimony presented to the city by Trustee Anne Ritter regarding Joint School District No. 2's growth projections, building costs, etc. for potential foothills development represents the district's position. As Vice Chairman of the school board, Trustee Ritter presented the facts, figures, and position of the school district Further, to underscore the substance our telephone conversation, the district has been working with the M3 developers regarding the impact of their development on the school district. M3 has reiterated its commitment to provide "any and all land necessary for schools" in the development, a commitment enthusiastically embraced by the district. Jointly, we have looked at current school construction funding limitations in Idaho, and examined creative solutions that are in place in other states. We will continue to work to support changes in Idaho law that would enhance the ability to construct school buildings without total responsibility being born by the tax payers through bonds that must be passed by the school district. Finally, it is important to also reiterate that the district does not support the M3 proposal to build the initial school in the M3 development, and to have the district pay for the school through the purchase of school site land. This proposal poses several challenges for the district, including, but not limited to setting an obligation for a future board of trustees to repay the debt (purchase the land) at a time when funds may not be available for this purchase. As a matter of long -held practice, the board of trustees is careful not to obligate funds from future budgets that would be beyond the responsibility of their current positions. As we discussed, this is only one of several issues that make this proposal Tess than desirable for the district. Attachment 3: Thank you for the phone call, and for your support of public schools.

Mendian saw a reduction in platted lots finaled of approximately 1,050, falling from 3,790 to 2,741. Incorporated cities hold 82.3% of the total platted lots for the year and 65.7% of the total platted acres, indicating that lot sizes are significantly larger outside of city luruts Boise finaled 455 more lots than last year at the same time that building pernutnng slowed. While there is great variance between lot sizes in each development, the average lots per acre platted in each city indicates the trend of development within the city. Garden City averages the highest density lots per acre at 5.88 while Eagle averaged the lowest density at 1.19 lots per acre. The unincorporated county region, which historically holds the lowest average lots per acre, fell to 1.25 lots per acre. With a 26.2 percent increase in multi -family dwellings, the increase in Tots per acre is not surprising, in particular when looking at the large condomuuum complexes which are in construction in Boise. The increase in mulu-family perrrutting tends to increase the average lots per acre Notes: Source: Ada County Assessor's Office Data reflects city limits boundaries at the time of reporting.
