8. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Ordinance No. 599: Prohibition of the landing of helicopters within corporate city limits,
providing exemptions and penalties. This item was continued fi'om the Apri/15. 2008 meeting.
(ME)
Mayor introduces the issue.
Code Enforcement Officer Echeita: I have checked with Idaho Power and the Hollywood Group
to find out if this ordinance would interfere with their operation. Idaho Power said it would not
interfere with their operations. The Hollywood Group apologized because they thought the area
was in the City of Boise. This ordinance does not bother any commercial and does not prevent
flyovers. If someone wants to land in the City they would have to come into City Hall and fill
out a permit at no cost. This allows the City, Police Department and Fire Department to know
what is happening. This is just a good way to find out who is going to land in our City and where
and if there is a complaint we have a contact. General discussion.
Mayor opens the Public Hearing
Greg Swanson, 1906 S. Vista Avenue, Boise, I'm here as a supporter of aviation. What we are
seeing is that the City wants more control and be able to receive more information. Discussion
on the misdemeanor penalty and enforcement of the penalty. I think a warning provision should
be written into the ordinance. Idaho State Code 21-112, Reckless Operation of Aircraft, covers
the reckless operation. Idaho Code covers (see tape) Idaho Statutes govern. Discussion on a
Helistop and the definition. There is a serious vagueness in reference to Helistop. There could
be a 49-50 day delay before a permit could be approved. General discussion.
John DeThomas, I am the Administration of the Idaho Division of Aeronautics, the Division
considers this an unnecessary ordinance and only hinders economic activity. Both the Federal
FAA and the Division of Aeronautics have statues that would cover any hazards or safety
violations. This does nothing to preclude nuisances. I would also ask what skills the people
who would enforce this ordinance have to access the safety of helicopters. Distributes a Chart to
the Council, this is the official chart for aviators to navigate. A pilot would have no way of
knowing if they were in the City of Eagle according to the official charts that they use. General
discussion.
Nancy Merrill, 1246 S. Watennark Place, I have been here long enough to know of helicopter
landings within the City of Eagle. Discusses the different landings she is aware of in the City.
Discussion on no fly zones. We could have an exception in the ordinance for emergency
landings. We also have a noise ordinance. I would recommend that we do have an ordinance
addressing these issues. Going to the aviation departments to get a permit and bring to the City
may be an option. We need to have some parameters and not to ignore these issues, as we will
Page 5
K:\COUNClL\~'lINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC -05-1 J-08mindoc
continue to have these situations as the City grows.
Code Enforcement Officer Echeita: I have 20 plus years in fire enforcement and peace officer
training and I have specific training in helicopters. Discussion on guidelines. Every code in the
City is a misdemeanor violation and I don't go out and arrest on all misdemeanor violations.
Eagle has a reputation of dealing with people. General discussion.
City Attorney discusses the City's authority to enact this ordinance. I want to do further research
in the hovering issue.
Mayor closes the Public Hearing
General Council discussion.
Guerber moves to continue Ordinance No. 599: Prohibition of the landing of helicopters
within corporate city limits, providing exemptions and penalties and send it back to staff
for further revisions to be reviewed by our legal counsel and bring back to the Council next
week. Seconded by Semanko. THREE AYES: SHOUSHTARIAN: NAY: MOTION
CARRIES.........
Shoushtarian: I voted Nay because I thought IBC should be either approved in its entirety
or if there is any reason why some of them did not get picked I would like to know the
reason for it.
B. RZ-02-08 - Rezone from R-4 to CBD-DA - Jason and Victoria Ritchie: Jason and
Victoria Ritchie are requesting approval of a rezone from R-4 (Residential up to four dwelling
units per acre) to CBD-DA (Central Business District with a development agreement) to allow
for a future retail commercial use. The 0.28-acre site is located on the west side of Eagle Road
approximately 800-feet south of State Street at 221 South Eagle Road. (WEV)
Mayor introduces the issue.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: Displays overheads and provides Council an overview of the
request for rezone. General discussion.
Jason and Victoria Ritchie, applicants, we are just requesting a rezone. We have met with
ACHD and the Fire Department and everything seems alright. Eventually the temporary access
will be vacated and we will turn that area into a plaza. We are going to have a high end cooking
store. I have also contacted Handmade and Rembrandts to do classes. We have agreed to meet
with all of the landowner's in the area. We are very willing to meet with the other landowners
and facilitate an agreement. We are kind of proceeding as a leader of the pack. General
discussion.

the Eagle community; Eagle school principals, staff, and teachers; Eagle arts
organizations, Eagle businesses, City of Eagle staff, and the Eagle Mayor and City
Council. We are compiling this information to create our goals and visions for the next five
years and beyond. We are working with Julie Numbers Smith, formerly of the Boise Arts
Commission and now with Ballet Idaho, to create a plan that will help us grow into what the
commissioners and staff, community, and the Council envision for our future. We will have
our plan complete by the end of June.

DRAFT PRESENTED TO THE EAGLE CITY COUNCIL ON:

K:1Planning Dcpt\Comp Plan Subarea 11aas\2008\Dowatowa\ovc vicw.doc
WHY IS THE CITY OF EAGLE PLANNING FOR THE DOWNTOWN?
Since the City's incorporation in 1971 Eagle has grown from a small country agricultural
village of just over 300 to one of the largest cities within the Boise Metropolitan Area
with a population of over 21,000. The City has seen phenomenal growth over the past
37 -years with the most intensive growth being in the last decade. Over the next 30 years
it is estimated that the City will continue to grow to an estimated population of nearly
50,000.
As Eagle complete its first forty years and many of the recent growth pains has slowed
it is an appropriate and important time to focus inward and begin looking at the uses that
will be needed to support the City of Eagle as we approach our first half century and
reflect on the planning that has been done by the City.
The last major review of Downtown Eagle and the potential and desired land uses was in
conjunction with the 2000 Comprehensive Plan (developed between 1997 and 1998).
From 1997 to 2007, the population of the City of Eagle grew by 217%, increasing the
City's population by more than 10,000 residents. The majority of the City's residents
have never been asked what they would like to see in the Downtown or how they feel the
City is doing in developing and fostering uses in the Downtown.
The 2000 Comprehensive Plan placed great significance on the Downtown and directed
the City to prioritize development in the City Center. In 2006 The Eagle Chamber of
Commerce and several community and business leader approach the City about
developing a public involvement program to engage the citizens on their desires to
further foster development in the Downtown. Concerns expressed at that time included:
impacts of exterior commercial development (Lakemoor, Eagle River and WinCo) on the
downtown, the lack of vision for the downtown (conversion of existing residences or new
urban construction), The role of the downtown in the community (employment center,
shopping and entertainment, Civic and Community uses), and the cost of land and design
obstacle s that may be prematurely limited development (Height restrictions, trees
preservation ordinances, and parking standards).
Understanding the need for the City to look forward and plan for the next 20 -years, City
leaders asked the Chamber and City staff to begin engaging the entire community in a
discussion of what the vision for downtown Eagle should be.
WHAT IS VISIONING?
Visioning gives the city a chance to evaluate existing development patterns, land uses and
community design features. It also provides the community a chance to voice their
opinions about the future of the city. This process involves four questions that bring
about a series of specific activities:
Where are we now? This question addresses recent successes of the city and
K:1Planning Dept\Conrp Plan\Svbarca Plans120081Downtown overvicw.doc
what has been accomplished over the past 30years.
Where are we going? Staff will answer this question by detailing what trends we
are seeing as well as detailing what to expect if nothing changes over the next 20
years.
Where do we want to be? This is an open question allowing participants to look
outside of the existing patterns to determine if there is a desired change and what
they may look like.
How do we get there? This question allows participants to prioritize the results
of question 3 and begin looking at what needs to be done to move toward
achieving these goals.
The City of Eagle held 3 public visioning sessions:
Tuesday, April 23, 2008:OId Kandor/Lavender Site
Wednesday, April 24, 2008: Eagle Fire Station Training Room
Tuesday, May 6, 2008:Eagle Elementary School Gym
PREPARATION:
In preparation for these events city staff prepared a summary of recent development in
the downtown area, examples of various types of land uses, density and architecture, a
residential use analysis and brief overview of retail drives and walkability. The
information was combined into the staff presentation available at City Hall.
NOTIFICATION:
The City of Eagle direct mailed to over 10,000 mailing addresses in the 83616 zip code.
Additionally, notice was placed in the sewer District utility bills, posted on the City and
chamber websites and published in the Valley Times. Further, the City used flyers in
local businesses and signs and the entry of the downtown area.
WHO PARTICIPATED?
These 2 %i hour long visioning sessions were facilitated by the City of Eagle planning
staff and chamber volunteers. Attendees included business owners, residents of Eagle
and the area of impact. Citizen/land owner participants totaled 63.
