PUBLIC COMMENT: Patricia McCavich, Deerfield Court, I live in the area of impact, and as homeowners we support the City events, our children go to school in Eagle, many of us are property owners who own a business in Eagle, we shop in Eagle. All in all the people who live in the Area oflmpact feel very much a part of the Eagle community. I'm asking why the City Council voted this month to deny the area of impact residents the opportunity to serve on the task force that would look for ways to improve communication between City Hall and the community residents. Reads a copy of the News Release into the record, Participants must live within the corporate City Limits. I want to know if that was the exact wording in the motion and why was it worded like that. I request the City to extend the Task Force application deadline beyond April 4th and reword the news release to include the area of impact residents. Council Member Huffaker: Pat, I made the original motion regarding forming the Task Force and in my motion the language I used was that we wanted to improve communications between the City and its residents and the residents and the City and that was interpreted literally as meaning only citizens ofthe City, My own intent was that I would like to see people in the area of impact included. I think we are going to address soon, maybe even tonight and we may amend that motion. General discussion.

General discussion. Mayor Opens the Public Hearing Phil Broadbrent, 913 River Heights Drive, I am a neighbor of Mr. Bunderson, I am an attorney and a real estate developer, I have practiced 30 years in land use planning in Arizona. My letter did not make the 5 day deadline. I am very much opposed to this application. 75% of the residents in the subdivision are opposed to this. It is very unusual to annex a single lot in a subdivision. This would only benefit the single lot owner. 72% of the neighbors signed a petition that was presented to Planning and Zoning. General discussion, Page 3 K\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-03-25-08min.doc Allen Hall, 1011 W. River Heights Drive, I have lived in the subdivision 1 Y2 years and this is a beautiful subdivision and it is very consistent. We had this same situation in our neighborhood in Seattle and it changed the consistency. I'm concerned that this could happen here. Donna Knittel, 7280 Winward Drive, Meridian, we have lived at our current address for 34 years. We have done an extensive remodel. We are opposed to the annexation as we feel that would be the beginning of further division of lots in the subdivision. I request that you deny this request. Mike Ford, P.O. Box 5405, I am here on behalf of Linda Yankee who resides at 7540 N. Meridian Road, the Clearview Subdivision. This would also affect the residents in Clearview Subdivision also and would affect property values. Judith Erdman, 7283 Windward Drive, Meridian, my letter was in your packet. I have been asking God to change Hal and Mary Kay's hearts. I have lived in this neighborhood longer than anyone else. Because the Bunderson's are older they want to destroy the neighborhood. They are causing division in a neighborhood for selfish reasons. They own other land and Hal is a developer at heart. I am asking you to please deny their request that would destroy our neighborhood. Mimi Plum, 34 River Heights Drive, this event to circumvent the covenants of our subdivision. Our properties are 5 acres or more. We want to preserve our 5 acre lots in the subdivision, It makes no sense for Eagle to annex one lot in our subdivision. I request that the Council deny this application. Christi Johnson, 284 River Heights Drive, my husband Jeff and I would like to go on record as opposing this annexation, It is also my understanding that if their annexation was approved the neighboring property could also ask for annexation, We are also concerned about forced annexation in Eagle. Pat McGarman, 795 River Heights, we bought our property in 1998. I share the concerns of my neighbors about spot annexation and I wrote you a letter. The soil in the area is river rock and clay. Discussion on drain fields and soils, I do agree that this is not personal. There are a limited number of hookups for sewer in Sugarberry. Preservation of the neighborhood is the main issue. General discussion, Brad Bower, 600 River Heights Drive, discussion on the fish hatchery at Eagle Island State Park. We had a lawyer to look at this for us. If you allow this one you could have 22 houses in the neighborhood. This is not a personal issue but a business decision. Discusses spot annexation and the neighborhood meeting. Discussion on the actual size of the applicants' property. Discussion on Idaho Code vacating lots in a subdivision. Linda Oliver, 7225 N, Meridian Road, we have lived here for 16 years, We are neighbors of Hal Bunderson. We wanted the 5 acre parcel. We are opposed to the annexation and rezone. Open spaces is what we were looking for. This is a very low traffic area, We have a lot of wildlife. We would like you to not make a cookie cutter out of our subdivision. Russell Relyea, 155 River Heights Drive, I live on the comer of Meridian Road and River Heights Drive, and I have been there for 35 years. I endorse the request for the annexation and rezone, I think some of the testimony tonight has been over the top. The Bundersons' are very caring about the neighborhood and they would not do anything to hurt the neighborhood. They have done a lot for our neighborhood. I believe any impact of this rezone would be minimal and would not hurt the neighbor. Mayor Closes the Public Hearing Page 4 K\COUNCIL\MlNUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-03-25-08min doc City Attorney: Mr, Bundersons testimony needs to be in the Public Hearing Mayor Reopens the Public Hearing Hal Bunderson, Discussion on the subdivisions developed in the area of his property that are in the City of Eagle. Our neighborhood all around us is changing. Should the Comp Plan prevail or should it be modified. There is clearly a majority in opposition. This is not personal from our perspective; we did make application in good faith and rely on the good judgment of Eagle City Staff. One day this entire area will be incorporated into the City of Eagle. City Attorney Buxton: Discusses Idaho Code 50-1319.

ADDRESS/ TESTIFY TELEPHONE/E-MAIL YES/NO? PRO/CON NAME Cc_ 5 -,s --or Judith Erdman 7283 Winward Drive Meridian, Idaho 83646 My letter was in your packets and I hope that you had the time to read it. What I want to emphasize this evening to you, however, is that I have been asking God to change Hal and Mary Kay's hearts...that they would stop this request to be annexed and rezone their property so that I would not have to stand up here tonight. I do not want to be here fighting for a way of life that I have paid for dearly for the past 33 years when my husband left me owing everything on a brand new home and with two small children. I have been in this neighborhood longer than anyone else. I consider the Bundersons friends ever since they moved here. What breaks my heart is that now that they are older they want to, in my estimation, destroy a very old, unique and beautiful subdivision in spite of the fact that almost 75% of the neighbors said that they desire to keep it as it is— large acreages. (I believe the signatures are in your packets.) I understand that everyone has a right to do what they wish with what they own, but I want to emphasize two things: first, the Bundersons enjoyed this subdivision as it is for almost 30 years, and second, it is wrong when they are thinking of themselves but are hurting almost all of their neighbors. The few that support the Bundersons want to move away, but think that they will get more for their property if it is split in two rather than selling it as a whole. Just within the last two years two families have sold their home and acreage to families that have purposely bought into our neighborhood because of the large acreages. I am not trying to hurt Hal and Mary Kay, but they are causing division in a very congenial neighborhood for selfish reasons. They have bought and developed several pieces of property, such as Sandy Springs which borders our subdivision, and they even own a large parcel of land behind the property at Chinden and Linder which is being proposed—again—for a big box development. Hal is a developer at heart and that is fine for him... but not in our subdivision. Hal also stated at the P & Z that their home and land were now too large to maintain, but sooner than later many of us will be downsizing and move away. I will sell my property as a whole in order to maintain the integrity of the covenants which we all bought into...and for future generations. It has been my prayer that Hal and Mary Kay would withdraw their request, but since they have not, I am asking you to please deny their request which would destroy our neighborhood. This will not hurt them financially, and there are people that would buy their home with the land that it sits on in, especially to live in a neighborhood where neighbors are truly neighbors. As I said at the beginning, I do not like speaking here this evening, but I am forced to be bold with my words tonight for two reasons: 1.) they heard from the majority of neighbors, just last fall, that we did not want the composition of our neighborhood to change; and, even more important, 2.) my home in this subdivision is the only inheritance I have to leave to my children. It's worth will definitely decrease if our subdivision becomes like all the other subdivisions around us. Thank you for listening! cc 3 -o25 -or Harold R "Hal" and Mary Kay Bunderson 582 River Heights Drive Meridian Idaho, 83646 208-888-7156 Fax: 208-888-7188 hbunderson@cableone.net ac'o 344.6 March 25, 2008 To: The Eagle City Council and Mayor Re: Our single lot Annexation and Rezone Application Background • My wife and I purchased our property) in June 1977. (Then 5.6 acres with 300 feet frontage on River Heights Drive / 475 -feet frontage on S. C. Boise River. • In 1978, we built our home — situated on the west side of our property. • I am now 71 and my wife is 65. Our age and health is limiting our ability to maintain our large acreage. • Last fall when the city annexed Eagle Island State Park, we became contiguous to the city and made application to become part of the City of Eagle and subject to the Eagle's Comprehensive Plan for our area. • Our application only applies to our lot. It has no effect on any other lots in our subdivision. • However, if you approve our application and we file a plat to divide a lot off our property, it will have a small effect on traffic and negligible effect on groundwater. Opposition arguments brought by neighbors include: 1. Q. Approval of our application will increase their property taxes. A. It won't. 2. Q. It will destroy the 5 -acre size pattern of the subdivision. A. Our neighborhood has already changed. Hundreds of homes either now are or will soon surround and us. The Bunderson application is insignificant to what is happening in our immediate area. 3. Q. Winward River Heights Subdivision is a unique treasure and needs to be protected. A. Actually, the subdivision in made up of a heterogeneous group of residential lots. • Assessed valuations range from $123, 000 to over a $ 1 million. • Acreages range from 4.1 to over 5 acres. Bunderson justification for annexation and rezone • Yard work at our age is becoming more of a burden. • We do not want to move. • At some future date, we would like the option of subdividing our property in an aesthetically pleasing manner as provided in Eagle's comprehensive plan. • Six neighbors have recently sent to you letters (email) supporting our application. Cc 3-2 s'.. ®e EAGLE CITY COUNCIL --- To Whom it May Concern March 25, 2008 Hal Bunderson — request to rezone thru Eagle City Council. We are neighbors of Hal Bunderson .. We have lived at 7225 N. Meridian Road for 16 years and bought into this area for its 5 acre parcels and we were very lucky to have found it. We are opposed to this rezoning due to several reasons. We purposely bought into this area — because of the DEAD END Road that is the only access into this subdivision — which would be less traffic.. We felt that this is what IDAHO was all about — open spaces and the ability to ENJOY THE LAND! We are a small neighborhood. We work together to clean the irrigation ditches in the Spring — and enjoys the friendliness of the neighborhood the rest of the year (as we walk or ride our bicycles thru the low traffic area). With the prestige open spaces of our 5 acre parcels: we constantly have wildlife : groups of 6 to 8 deer (with their young fawns). Sunday we had a male wild turkey and his 5 females walking thru our backyard, and our pond has constant use by the ducks and Canadian Geese (laying eggs and nesting). We even have a regular visitor — a male pheasant who visits our patio and looks into the family room window in the earlyAM.. Who would not want to live here — and stay here in their retirement years. We certainly hope to! I would like to know : Where is another neighborhood like this? It is a very UNIQUE, PRISTINE LOCATION, which has attracted quality homeowners (of varied backgrounds and businesses) who enjoy the serenity of their surroundings. As we talk about PRESERVING OUR FUTURE . We would be foolish to allow this change that Hal Bunderson is proposing to cut his property into 2 parcels and build a much smaller dwelling alongside his current home. This would create a postage stamp — or cookie cutter — right into the middle of the neighborhood, which would not flow with the rest of the homes on the street. If Hal feels that he needs a smaller dwelling — or tax relief in his retirement years: there are other places for smaller homes in Ada County. I feel he is being selfish/ and not caring about the rest of the people in his neighborhood , and why he would want to destroy the unity of the subdivision; ( which now has the look and feel of freedom). A sprawling neighborhood is hard to find these days --- and a preservation of land and animals (of which Idaho stands for) is what we should be MAINTAINING. Please keep this area as nice as it is now for our current and future residents and deny Hal Bunderson's proposal. Sincerely, Linda / James Oliver — 7225 N.

Civic Lane, Eagle, ID 83616 RcCEIVED & FILED .._. CITY OF EAGLE MAR 2 5 2008 File: Route to: RE: EAGLEFIELD Dear Mike, As you know we have been struggling to deal with Site Specific Condition #8 for the above referenced project. We accepted this condition with the Eaglefield plat, as we had been working with the adjacent neighbor, Mr. Scott Reeser, to incorporate his property in with ours. This incorporation helped Eaglefield, as well as Mr Reeser's property as he was able to gain additional density by taking advantage of our open space. We processed Eaglefield II with his blessing and signed a Development Agreement with the City, us and Mr Reeser. The easement as required by our condition #8 is clearly shown and incorporated into this new Development Agreement. We have moved forward developing the Eaglefield project and the required off site improvements. We assumed that condition #8 was no longer needed as the easement required was covered within the new agreement. Eaglefield has paid to install improvements on the easement to the benefit of both properties. Eaglefield is now ready to have the City sign the plat and the City has informed us we haven't satisfied condition #8. Mr. Reeser is asking for additional compensation for his cooperation and we need additional time to sort this problem out. So pursuant to our conversation today Eaglefield LLC wishes guaranty to the City that they will not sell or build upon Lots 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, of Block 3 of the Eaglefield Subdivision No 1. until the ingress/egress easement is recorded, as required by Site Specific Condition #8 of the Eaglefield Subdivision.
