LETTERS FROM THE PUBLIC (attached to the staff report and incorporated herein by reference): Mimi Plumb stated in correspondence, date stamped by the City on July 6, 2009, that the Page 5 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A \2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Y orgason.doc density shown on the submitted plan is far too great. As proposed, the development will not be in harmony with the existing area. Ms. Plumb goes on to state that it appears the proposed annexation and rezone is to provide an annexation pathway to the proposed Fred Meyer property located at the northeast comer of Chinden Boulevard (Highway 20/26) and Linder Road. Larry Slider stated in an email, date stamped by the City on July 13, 2009, that the homeowners in the area are concerned with the proposed density in the area and that Eagle should not allow one (1) acre home sites to be located across the street from an area which allows up to eight (8) units per acre. They are also in opposition to changing the Comprehensive Plan every time a developer has a new idea. Dana Erdman stated in correspondence, date stamped by the City on July 27, 2009, that development in this area will affect their life at home, value of their home, and their neighbor's lives and home values. They went on to state that development is inevitable, but developers should take into consideration the area already established. Judith Erdman stated in correspondence, date stamped by the City on September 8, 2009, that the proposed density is too high and the area should be zoned Agricultural-Residential since they were assured years ago that the transition area would ensure two (2) acre size parcels next to the existing five (5) acre parcels. Larry and Lee Swider stated in correspondence, date stamped by the City on October 13, 2009, that they are concerned with traffic congestion, sound and light pollution resulting from the planned unit development. They are also concerned with the minimal transition areas from high density commercial space to estate type homes. Larry Sandusky stated in correspondence, date stamped by the City on October 15, 2009, that the proposed density will cause unacceptable impacts to existing neighborhoods. He further states that the City of Eagle should not be annexing additional commercial and residential capacity that requires more planning investment amid uncertain prospects of revenue recapture. The following correspondences were received after October 15, 2009, and are incorporated herein by reference. E-mail from Larry Swider, 7176 N.

Page 6 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc STAFF ANALYSIS PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT: A. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: . The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Transitional Residential. Residential Transition 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 proposed uses. Commonly requires changes in lot dimensions and scaling, see specific planning area text for a complete description. 6.6 Implementation Strategies 1. Require design treatments to provide compatibility of new development with existing development by considering such issues as building orientation, increased setbacks, height limitations, size restrictions, design requirements, fencing, landscaping or other methods as determined through the development review process. 6.8.8 Rim View Planning Area (approved December 18, 2007) The Rim View Planning Area contains a large amount of existing residential uses that have been developed as one-acre and five-acre lots through the Ada County development process. The future land uses in the area are predicated on Linder Road being the only Eagle City river crossing between Eagle Road and Star Road, and the need to buffer and preserve the existing residential developments, and the need to provide commercial opportunities along the regional transportation corridors south of the Boise River. Because of the alignment of the State Highway 16 crossing moving further to the west (to McDermott), no clear funding option or time line for the SH 16 crossing, and recent changes in nearby city limit boundaries (Meridian), the previously planned regional commercial area at Black Cat no longer is a viable location for the City of Eagle. a. Uses The land use and development policies specific to the Rim View Planning Area include the following: 1. A forty acre commercial area located at the northeast comer of the intersection of Chin den Boulevard and Linder Road is to be designed and developed as a unit. This commercial area is intended to serve the Eagle community as a gateway into town before crossing the river. 2. Areas designated as Transitional Residential should have a residential density of up to I-unit per acre. Units may be clustered to provide for transitional lot sizes to ensure compatibility of new residential uses to existing residential uses and the commercial and office uses located at Linder Road and Chinden. Page 7 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A \2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Yorgason.doc 3. Patio home styles and alternative lot sizes may be allowed in conjunction with exiting open space and recreation areas located in the Rim View Area. The patio homes and townhouses may be located near the commercial area. b. Access Access to the area should focus on new internal linkages. Primary access should be on Linder Road with limited access onto Chinden Boulevard only in accordance with ITD's access management policies. All accesses should be designed to allow traffic to flow through the area connecting Meridian Road to Linder Road may provide the opportunity of future east/west residential collector linkage within the planning area. Cross-access and local stub streets should be used to allow the planning area to be interconnected without the need to access the arterial and state highway network. Internal and interconnected circulation should be used to move traffic within the non-residential area, helping to mitigateJhe number of local vehicle trips entering State Highway 20/26 to access commercial/services use along Linder Road. Chinden Boulevard should be recognized as a gateway corridor to the City of Eagle and development should adhere to_proper berming, landscaping, and appropriate setbacks to prevent the encroachment of abutting uses into future corridor improvements. This would protect the viability of the regional transportation corridor as well as buffer the abutting uses from the impacts of the corridor. c. Design This area is recognized as a gateway to the City of Eagle, to be integrated with appropriate landscaping, entry features, and place-making features in the design of the area. Design of this area should be compatible to the existing residential and recreational uses currently present in the area. Design of commercial and office uses should be compatible with the existing residential uses and contain significant landscaped buffers to reduce impacts and appealing building design elements to promote a cohesive character. Commercial development should provide for pedestrian linkages to the residential areas adjacent to the site. Both Chinden Boulevard and Linder Road should be developed with a detached sidewalk and planting strip adjacent to the back of curb, further solidifying the purpose and character ofthe gateway corridor of Chinden Boulevard. Signage for all non-residential uses should be designed to be consistent and complimentary, with place-making being the primary objective and identification of uses being secondary. Non-residential areas should be designed with features and materials intended to compliment and buffer residential uses and to avoid creating a tunnel or wall effect along the backside of the large buildings. Page 8 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Y orgason.doc ResidentialAreas II Llmlted accen hlllhw8 --- d. Issues One of the main concerns in the development of this area is the ability to properly balanceJhe commercial uses with residential uses. New uses should be designed in a manner that provides a cohesive transition between the commercial and residential uses, incorporating elements that will provide a common and complimentary identity between the two. Considering the large amount of undeveloped or underdeveloped land within the planning area, each proposed project should be evaluated for the potential to provide linkages and connectivity to adjacent parcels. This is necessary to establish a functioning local and collector roadway system to supports the regionalIy significant roadways at the south and west of this area._ As this area develops, consideration should be made of the transitory non-farm uses that have been approved by Ada County which may be nearing the expiration on the open space restrictions. 8.2 Street Classifications A roadway system must include a number of streets, each of which are designated to handle a particular type and amount of traffic. The Community Planning Association (COMP ASS) Functional Street Classification Map illustrates the various classifications of roadways that are included in the Ada County roadway system. The Eagle section of the COMP ASS Functional Street Classification Map and Regional Transportation Plan should consider the City of Eagle Transportation/Pathway Network Maps # 1 and #2. In general, there are several types of streets in the street hierarchy. . Principal arterials provide major circulation and movement through urban areas and to connect with major activity centers and freeways outside the City of Eagle. Principal arterials are regional roadways and provide travel routes for longer trips. On- street parking is prohibited. Page 9 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc . Collector streets intercept traffic from local streets and carry the traffic to the nearest arterial street. Collector streets may extend for one or more miles and serve to connect the developed areas within a section to the arterial roadway network. Collectors may provide access to larger parcels or developments with high trip generation. On-street parking is typically prohibited. . Residential collector streets intercept traffic from local streets and minor numbers of abutting parcels and carry the traffic to a standard collector or arterial street. Residential collectors typically extend less than one-half mile in length. Residential collectors may provide access to local streets, multi-family developments or planned unit developments. On-street parking may be permitted under special circumstances. . Local streets serve to provide direct access to the abutting properties, individual homes or small traffic generators. On-street parking is typically permitted. 8.2.1 Principal Arterial Mobility Function: The primary function of a principal arterial is to provide major circulation and movement through urban areas and to connect with major activity centers and freeways. A principal arterial may serve motorized and non-motorized transportation needs and may include up to seven vehicular traffic lanes. On-street parking is prohibited. Access Function: Access from other roadways is controlled and subordinate to traffic on the principal arterial street. Direct lot access is prohibited or severely restricted. Combined access points are encouraged. The City's Access Management Plan should be the final determination of any site access plan. Right -of-Way: As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with recommendations by the City and seriously considered by the Highway District. 8.2.5 Residential Collectors Mobility Function: The primary function of a residential collector street is to intercept traffic from local streets and minor numbers of abutting parcels and carry the traffic to a collector or arterial street. A secondary function is to service abutting property. The ACHD allowed length and number of vehicle trips per day on residential collectors is less than collectors. The residential collector street may serve motorized and non-motorized transportation needs, and be designed with the minimum street section to accommodate the projected vehicle volume. On-street parking may be prohibited. Access Function: To provide limited and controlled access to residential neighborhoods. Direct lot access is typically restricted. Page 10 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc Right-of- Way As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with recommendations by the City and seriously considered by the Highway District. 8.2.6 Local Roadways Mobility Function: The primary function of a local street is to serve abutting property. Local streets are to be designed to allow on-street parking and discourage continuous or unobstructed flow of traffic through residential neighborhoods. Access Function: To normally provide abutting properties with unrestricted access to the local street unless the street is a local commercial street, in which case access restrictions may apply. Right-of- Way: As shall be determined by the Highway District having jurisdiction with recommendations by the City and seriously considered by the Highway District. All roadways not classified as arterials or collectors are considered local roadways. 8.4 Goals Public Transit Goals Encourage the development of a local and regional public transit system. The public transit system is to provide basic mobility for some, alternative transportation for others, and a non-drive alone mode for everyone. Optimize the effectiveness of public transit through supporting land use decisions. Promote land use changes and redevelopment plans in key areas that provide densities and activities that promote the use and efficiency of a public transit system. Work regionally with COMPASS and Valleyride to plan for the potential of a regional rail or bus rapid transit system. The SH-44, SH-16, SH-55 and US 20-26 corridors have the greatest potential. Evaluate concepts to fund the operation and expansion of the regional public transit system and facilities. Coordinate with the Land Use Elements of the Comprehensive Plan to establish potential transit nodes in the future transit corridors. Pathway System Goals Encourage the development of a local and regional pathway system. The design of the pathway system should be coordinated with other elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The pathway system is to provide basic mobility for some and a non-drive alone mode for everyone. Page 11 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc Work regionally to integrate the pathway system with the ongoing planning and design efforts for the SH-44, SH-16, SH-55 and US 20-26 corridors. Support the concept and goals of demand management strategies, such as telecommuting, ride-sharing, park-and-ride facilities, etc. to reduce overall travel demand. . APPENDIX 1 - GLOSSARY Transitional Density The shifting of density within a development to allow compatibility with existing uses adjacent to or within a site. B. ZONING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: . Eagle City Code, Section 8-1-2 Rules and Definitions: Open Space A common area platted as a separate lot (except for the portion of the 8 foot wide landscape strip located adjacent to and within the public right of way of a local street), substantially open to the sky, exclusive of streets, commercial and residential buildings, and shall be designated and intended as a usable and convenient amenity for the residences of any proposed development. Planned Unit Development: A development designed to incorporate a variety of lot sizes and created to accommodate a wide range of income levels and planned to be developed as a unit under single ownership or control which may include residential, commercial, or office uses or any combination thereof. . Eagle City Code, Section 8-2-1 Districts Established Purposes And Restrictions: The following zoning districts are hereby established. For the interpretation of this title the zoning districts have been formulated to realize the general purposes as set forth in this title. In addition, the specific purpose of each zoning district shall be as follows: MU MIXED USE DISTRICT: To provide for a variety and mixture of uses such as limited office, limited commercial, and residential. This district is intended to ensure compatibility of new development with existing and future development. It is also intended to ensure assemblage of properties in a unified plan with coordinated and harmonious development which shall promote outstanding design without unsightly and unsafe strip commercial development. Uses should complement the uses allowed within the CBD zoning district. All development requiring a conditional use permit in the MU zoning district, as shown in section 8-2-3 of this chapter, shaU occur under the PUD and/or development agreement process in accordance with chapter 6 or 10 of this title unless the proposed development does not meet the area requirements as set forth in section 8-6-5-1 of this title. In that case a cooperative development, in conjunction with adjacent parcels (to meet the minimum area requirements), shall be encouraged. Otherwise a conditional use permit shall be required unless the proposed use is shown as a permitted use in the MU zoning district within section 8-2-3 of this chapter. Residential densities shall not exceed ten (10) dwelling units per gross acre. When a property is being proposed for rezone to the MU zoning district a development agreement may be utilized in lieu of the PUD and/or conditional use process if approved by the city council provided the Page 12 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc development agreement includes conditions of development that are required during the PUD and conditional use process. · Eagle City Code, Section 8-2-3 Schedule of District Use Regulations: Residential dwellings are allowed by Conditional Use within the MU (Mixed Use) zoning designation. · Eagle City Code, Section 8-2-4 : Schedule of Building Height and Lot Area Regulations: IMinimum Yard Setbacks II I Minimum Maximum Lot Area Minimum Zoning Lot (Acres Or Lot District Maximum Front Rear Interior Street Covered F Square Width 1* Height Side Side And J* Feet) H* I R-l 35' 1~[2QJ1 15' 1[lU1 35% I 37,000 100' I I R-2 35' 1~[2QJ1 10' I~I 40% 17,000 75' I I R-3 35' I~~I 7.5' I~I 40% 10,000 75' I I MU I 35' I~~I 7.5' I~I 50% 5,000 50' I B.

SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE PROVISIONS, WHICH ARE OF SPECIAL CONCERN REGARDING THIS PROPOSAL: No subdivision is proposed at this time, applicant shall comply with the Subdivision standards in effect at the time of platting. D. DISCUSSION: · The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designates this site as Transitional Residential. The Comprehensive Plan Planning Areas map shows this area to be located within the Rim View Planning Area. The applicant is requesting a MU-DA (Mixed Use with development agreement) zoning designation to develop the property in a manner that will allow for higher density adjacent to State Highway 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard) while providing a transition of larger residential lot sizes adjacent to Foxtail and Winward River Heights Subdivisions. The Rim View Planning Area allows for transitioning of lot sizes to ensure compatibility of new residential uses to existing residential use and the commercial and office uses currently located or recently approved for development in the area. The Development Agreement is a discretionary tool that may be used as a condition of rezoning to assure the proper development of this parcel. Eagle City Code Section 8-2-1 provides that when a property is being proposed for rezone to the MU zoning district, a development agreement may be utilized in lieu of the PUD and/or conditional use process if approved by the City Council, provided the development agreement includes conditions of development that are required during the PUD and conditional use process. · The applicant has provided a concept plan (bubble plan) date stamped by the City on May 29, 2009, showing proposed residential densities, neighborhood business area, open space network and road network. While the concept plan provides a generalized concept of the area it does not provide enough detail to address the conditions of development that may be required as part of the PUD and conditional use process. The applicant should be required to provide a more detailed concept plan to address the conditions of development that are required during the PUD and conditional use process prior to approval of preliminary plat. · The recently amended Comprehensive Plan text within Chapter 6 - Land Use, Rim View Planning Area, 6.8.8(a)(2-3), states, (2) "Areas designated as Transitional Residential should have a residential density of up to I-unit per acre. Units may be clustered to provide for transitional lot sizes to ensure compatibility of new residential uses to existing residential uses and the commercial and office uses located at Linder Road and Chinden." Policy (3) states, "Patio home styles and alternative lot sizes may be allowed in conjunction with existing open space and recreation areas located in the Rim View Area. The patio homes and townhouses may be located near the commercial area." Previously, the Comprehensive Plan designated residential densities in this area from 1-2 units per acre. The basis for the density at 1-2 units per acre in this area was to ensure a transition of lot sizes to provide for larger lots adjacent to the larger lot subdivisions to the north and Foxtail Subdivision to the south. During the comprehensive plan amendment hearing process for Eagle Island Market Place (EIMP), the text for the Rim View Planning Area was amended reducing the residential density in the area from 1-2 units per acre to up to one (1) unit per acre. The Concept Plan date stamped by the City on May 27, 2009, shows a transitioning or shifting of density within the development which will allow for compatibility with the existing uses adjacent to or within the site. The applicant has submitted a Proposed Community Master Plan (concept plan), date stamped by the City on May 27, 2009, showing the +/- 110.56-acre site with approximately three (3) acres of Neighborhood Business adjacent to Highway 20/26 (Chinden Boulevard). The remaining acres of the site shows a mix of residential densities Page 14 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc varying from up to eight (8) units per acre reducing in density to up to one (1) unit per acre adjacent to Foxtail and Winward River Heights Subdivisions. The concept plan shows the residential area containing up to eight (8) units per acre centrally located in the southern portion of the site adjacent to Castle bury Business Park, the proposed neighborhood business area, and the LDS Church located on Meridian Road. · Northwest Engineering provided a memo on behalf of the Eagle Sewer District which indicated that a total of 410 equivalent residential units (ERU's) for sewer hookups are available for the Yorgason (subject property), Wilson (Foxtail Golf Course) and BundersonlBodily (adjacent to Linder Road) properties. These properties contain a majority of the undeveloped parcels in the Rim View Planning Area. Utilizing the available 410 ERU's available for the 205 acres of undeveloped area, the overall density for new development in the area outside of the existing subdivisions is calculated at two (2) units per acre. The previous language in the Comprehensive Plan, for the Rim View Planning Area stated "the residential density of new residential uses in the area is up to 1-2 units per acre which provides for transitional lot sizes to ensure compatibility of new residential uses to existing residential use and the commercial and office uses located at Linder Road and Chinden." Although the applicant is proposing a density of 2.4 dwelling units per acre, the overall density in the area for new development (based on the available ERU's) would still meet the policies of the previously approved comprehensive plan. Based on 410 residential ERU's for this area along with the 68 existing residential units (located within three (3) subdivisions and unplatted parcels) the total residential units in the area would be 478. The Rim View Planning Area east of Linder Road, minus the proposed commercial areas and the existing church contains approximately 429 acres. Therefore the overall density in the Rim View Planning Area east of Linder Road would be 1.11 dwelling units per acre. The proposed number of dwelling units will also help support the recently approved commercial area located at the northeast comer of Chinden Boulevard (principal arterial) and Linder Road (minor arterial) while reducing trip generation to other areas in the vicinity. The higher density adjacent to Chinden Boulevard will also be supportive of plausible future transit routes through the valley. . Since the applicant is applying for a MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) zoning designation in lieu of a planned unit development, the residential portion of the property should be developed to comply with the minimum open space requirements for a planned unit development pursuant to Eagle City Code, which is a minimum of 20% or 21.40 acres. . The concept plan date stamped by the City on May 29,2009, shows two (2) roads connecting to Meridian Road, two (2) roads stubbing to the Wilson (Foxtail Golf Course) property adjacent to the east, and a road connecting to North Winward Avenue at Foxtail Subdivision. North Winward Avenue connects to West Sly Fox Street and then North Fox Run Avenue which provides access to the traffic light at its intersection with Highway 20/26 (Chin den Boulevard). The street running through Foxtail Subdivision is narrow and the additional traffic from the proposed development may impact residents in the Foxtail Subdivision neighborhood since there are no pedestrian facilities within the subdivision. At the time of preliminary platting the applicant should design reasonable traffic calming measures within the proposed development to address traffic entering Foxtail Subdivision at North Winward Avenue. The applicant should also work with ACHD to address interconnectivity between Meridian Road, Foxtail Subdivision and the adjacent parcel to the west. At a minimum, there should be no less than two (2) roads providing connectivity to the adjacent Wilson (Foxtail Golf Course) property . Page 15 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A \2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Y orgason.doc . The property is located within the Meridian Rural Fire District. The applicant should be required to work with the Meridian Rural Fire District regarding all fire service/protection issues for the proposed development. STAFF RECOMMENDATION PROVIDED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT: Based upon the information provided to staff to date, staff recommends approval of the requested annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County Designation) to MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) with conditions to be placed within a development agreement as provided within the staff report. PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COMMISSION: A. A public hearing on the applications was held before the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 15, 2009. The Commission continued the item to July 13, 2009, at which time the applications were remanded to staff. The applications were re-noticed and came before the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission for their consideration on October 26, 2009. The Commission continued the item to November 16, 2009, at which time public testimony was taken, the public hearing was closed. The Commission made their recommendation at that time. B. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by three (3) individuals (other than the applicant/representative) who felt that this development is a great opportunity for the strategic growth of the City relative to the tax base and job growth; the need to protect this "gateway" into the City from the encroachment of the City of Meridian; others expressed their empathy to the Commission's difficult decision; the importance of traffic safety; the need to have a funding system to provide necessary infrastructure; the importance of sustainability, mix of uses, and higher densities; and the advantage of master planning multiple parcels. C. Oral testimony in opposition to this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by eleven (11) individuals with concerns regarding increases in traffic and safety issues on heavily traveled Chinden and Linder Road, as well as impacts on the intersection; increase in noise pollution; the size of the commercial project is too big for the area and does not meet the intent of the comprehensive plan agreed upon two years ago; the density is not appropriate for this area; the need to maintain the Comprehensive Plan as it is currently written; the need to protect the existing neighborhoods; projected population growth does not support the ROIC report findings; projected project build-out time frames are not realistic; claims that the developer has not satisfactorily maintained contractual berming; the lack of consistent answers from the developers; request to leave property as-is or purchase property for a city park; the need to buffer commercial from residential; the need to have more conservative analysis of a project relative to financial concerns; and developers should pay for their impacts to infrastructure. D. Oral testimony neither in favor of nor opposed to this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by one (1) individual who stated that the Idaho Transportation Department is not opposed to moving the signal located at Fox Run and Chinden west to the 1;2-mile, ITD does not have the power to require off-site improvements, and a right-in/right-out access can work properly if internal circulation is designed to not hinder traffic circulation. E. Written testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission by two (2) individuals who felt that this development is a great opportunity for the strategic growth of the City relative to the tax base and job growth; and the need to protect this "gateway" into the Page 16 of24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Yorgason.doc City from the encroachment of the City of Meridian; and the dependency on this property being annexed to aid in completing the Eagle Island Market Place west of this site. COMMISSION DECISION: The Commission voted 3 to 1 (Smith against, Villegas recused) to recommend approval of A-04-09 and RZ-04-09 for an annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County designation) to MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) for Capital Development, LLC, within conditions to be placed within a development agreement as shown within their Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law document, dated November 23, 2009. PUBLIC HEARING OF THE COUNCIL: A. A public hearing on the applications was held before the City Council on December 15, 2009, at which time public testimony was taken and the public hearing was continued to January 12, 2010, to allow the applicant time to meet with the adjacent neighbors. The public hearing was continued to February 9, 2010, and again to February 23, 2010, where additional limited testimony addressing neighbors concerns was allowed and the hearing was closed. At this time the City Council scheduled a mediation session for this item on March 2, 2010, and continued the applications to March 9, 2010, at which time the Council made their decision. On February 23,2010, the City Council ordered mediation and, pursuant to Idaho Code S 67-6510, directed staff and Council representatives to mediate with the applicant and the affected neighbors and bring potential changes to the Conditions of Development (to be placed in the development agreement) back for Council consideration at the March 9, 2010, meeting. On March 2, 2010, a mediation session was held between the applicant and the affected neighbors regarding the development. (See Mediation Summary attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit A). B. Oral testimony in favor of this proposal was presented to the City Council by three (3) individuals (other than the applicant/representative) who indicated that the City of Eagle Area of Impact is being taken over in this area by Meridian and this area should be part of Eagle. It was also indicated that this area is a gateway to the City of Eagle and the design of the area should be controlled by the City of Eagle. C. Oral testimony in opposition to the application was presented to the City Council by eight (8) individuals who indicated the following: . The residential density should be maintained at R-l (Residential - up to one (1) unit per acre).. . Increased traffic will be a burden to the existing roadways. . The proposed development is inconsistent with the densities currently in the area and IS inappropriate for the area. . Applicants have not worked with the neighbors to address the neighbor concerns. . The proposed development will not fit in with the rural feel of the area. . Proposed development will affect the quality of life in the area. . The proposed plan does not show any parks. *N ote - upon completion of mediation only one (1) individual had concerns regarding the proposed residential density of the development. COUNCIL DECISION: The Council voted 4 to 0 to approve A-04-09 and RZ-04-09 for an annexation and rezone from RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County designation) to MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) for Capital Development, LLC, with the following Planning and Zoning Page 17 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccf Yorgason.doc Commission recommended conditions to be placed within a development agreement with strike through text to be deleted by the Council and underline text to be added by the Council: 3.1 Eagle hereby acknowledges that the bubble plan shown on the Concept Plan (Exhibit A) represents Applicant's concept for the Property.

The Council reviewed the particular facts and circumstances of this proposed rezone (RZ-04-09) with regard to Eagle City Code Section 8-7-5 "Action by the Commission and Council", and based upon the information provided concludes that the proposed rezone is in accordance with the City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan and established goals and objectives because: a. The requested zoning designation of MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) is consistent with the Transitional Residential designation as shown on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map since the proposed zone will allow for a minimum lot size that will allow for a transitioning of lot sizes to occur adjacent to the properties. Also, the proposed density is acceptable because it allows for buffering between commercial uses with the higher densities occurring in proximity to the existing commercial uses and the transportation corridor (State Highway 20/26); and b. The information provided from the agencies having jurisdiction over the public facilities needed for this site indicate that adequate public facilities exist, or are expected to be provided, to serve all uses allowed on this property under the proposed zone; c. The proposed MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) is compatible with the RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County designation) zone and land use (Winward Heights Subdivision) to the north since the applicant will be required to develop lots that are a minimum of one (1) acre in size adjacent to that area, and; d. The proposed MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) is compatible with the RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County designation), Rl (Residential - Ada County designation), and MU-DA (Mixed Use with development agreement) zones and land uses to the south since the applicant will be required to develop lots that are a minimum of one (1) acre in size adjacent to Foxtail Subdivision, and to provide a buffer between the proposed residential development and Castlebury West Business Park, and; e. The proposed MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) zone is compatible with the RUT (Rural-Urban Transition - Ada County designation) and Rl (Residential - Ada County designation) zones and land use to the west since that area is proposed to be developed in a similar manner to this development and the applicant will be required to develop lots that are a minimum of one (1) acre in size adjacent to Foxtail Subdivision, and; f. The proposed MU-DA (Mixed Use with a development agreement) zone is compatible with the R-E (Residential-Estates up to one unit per two acres) and R-l (Up to one unit per acre one acre) zone and land use to the east since that area is already developed as residential subdivisions and the applicant will be required to provide a landscaped buffering berm adjacent to Meridian Road and the existing residential developments to the east will be buffered from the proposed development by the landscaped buffering berm; and g. The land proposed for rezone is not located within a "Hazard Area" and "Special Area" as described within the Comprehensive Plan; and h. No non-conforming uses are expected to be created with this rezone. Page 23 of 24 K:\Planning Dept\Eagle Applications\RZ&A\2009\A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 ccfYorgason.doc DATED this 23rd day of March 2010.

These people did not speak except to confirm they were observers and not participants in the mediation. The City of Eagle concludes, therefore, the observers are not asserting any affected party status in this process. I. CITY OF EAGLE: Al Shoushtarian: Council Member Shoushtarian welcomed everyone to the mediation and explained his goal for the mediation was that it be informal, but limited each participant to ten minutes for their opening remarks so that everyone had a chance to speak to the group and to reserve enough time that evening to conduct the mediation both with the group as a whole and separately as needed.4 2 Mr. Hilbog did not speak during the mediation. 3 Dan Thompson also addressed the mediation as part of the Wilson team. Roger Cantlon did not speak at the mediation session. 4 Neither Mr. Shoushtarian nor Mr. Semanko attended separate break-out meetings held by participants or observers. WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8, 2010 Page 3 He asked Wilson and the neighbors if they would address a possible compromise on the commercial density issue. Mr. Shoushtarian noted that the neighbors did not appear to be concerned with the residential density, especially after Dave Y orgason clarified their residential 4 units/acre intent. He did point out that the issue between Wilson and the neighbors was they desired less commercial density and the Foxtail HOA did not want any commercial traffic traveling through their subdivision from Chinden. At approximately 10:30 p.m., Mr. Shoushtarian attempted to keep the mediation moving forward by suggesting as a possible commercial square footage change, that Wilson reduce their main commercial square footage to 144,375 and their neighborhood commercial square footage to 36,250. When making that suggestion, Mr. Shoushtarian was very clear that his suggestion was not based on numbers that he would require for his decision as that was not his role in the mediation. After that suggestion, a break was taken to give the participants a chance to see if they could agree on commercial square footage reductions on the Wilson property.s Norm Semanko: Council Member Semanko stated he wanted the attendees to openly discuss their views and opinions. He identified the concern that Fred Meyer wants the same written conditions in both the EIMP and Wilson Development Agreements regarding sewer, ACHD and ITD access requirements and that annexation occurs first, not after those items are worked out with the other entities. In an attempt to break down the issues to be worked on, Mr. Semanko suggested the participants address the following: (1) road access and public safety for residential and commercial; (2) density of residential and commercial; (3) terms within Development Agreement for Wilson on the annexation that concern EIMP; (4) sewer capacity; and (5) the developers' willingness to compromise with the neighbors in this forum. Mr. Semanko noted that the discussions from the participants in the mediation mirrored their positions previously stated in public hearings before the City Council. He also asked Wilson to consider what sort of compromise they could suggest regarding the commercial square footage.6 Mr. Semanko asked about whether the commercial square footage was comparable to other shopping centers in the area. He reminded the participants that this is a mediation so neither he nor Mr. Shoushtarian could or would force an agreement in this forum. Bill Vau2han: Mr. Vaughan described the applications' voluntary annexation requests. Each application also has two separate development agreements. When asked by a participant why the two applications were handled concurrently, Mr. Vaughan explained that he believed it would be easier to see the entire plan for During breaks in the meeting of the whole (all participants and observes in the same room), Mr. Shoushtarian and Mr. Semanko talked to City Staff or had short conversations with others unrelated to the AppJi;ations or the mediation. S See Mr. Knickrehm's comment summary to see the compromise offered by Wilson. 6 Same as footnote #2. WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8,2010 Page 4 the two properties that were going to be developed in concert with each other. That is a common method for Eagle even though each application will require separate decision by the City Council. He described the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commissions' 4-0 recommendation that the Comprehensive Plan amendment requested by the applications be approved. Mr. Vaughan also discussed the Planning and Zoning Commission's deliberation on the signal/ITD access and that the Commission reached no majority recommendation to forward to the City Council on the zones due to commercial density/square footage concerns. Mike Williams: Mr. Williams provided information regarding the Staff recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission of 78,500 main commercial and 17,750 neighborhood commercial. He elaborated on how the Comprehensive Plan amendment, if approved, would change what commercial square footage that would be expected if so zoned on the Wilson property. Mr. Williams also discussed the process and recommendations before the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission. Susan Buxton: Ms. Buxton answered questions about the mediation process asked of her by Mr. Shoushtarian, Mr. Semanko or others present. Ms. Buxton recounted the substance of the Foxtail HOA emails received that afternoon from Ryan Moore as noted below. Ms. Buxton discussed the condition precedent terms in the Development Agreement presented in late February by Wilson and how they were different than similar requirements for ITD/ ACHD access approval and sewer capacity approval for EIMP. Ms. Buxton did state she would not recommend that the City enter into an amendment of the proposed Development Agreement with Wilson that reduced one of its time-frames to get those approvals to 90 days, citing that is too short. II. IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: Pam Golden: Ms. Golden provided an explanation of ITD's agreement with EIMP for full access for two (2) years after the store opens. Following those two years, a left in a right in/right out shall equal a three-quarters (%) access. If the road is improved to six (6) lanes and crash history develops or the ITD Board so orders, then a right in/right out would be the only access to Chinden. ITD is neutral as to whether properties are annexed to obtain access or not. ITD does not want the Development Agreement to become a political tool and wants to proceed with normal planning. She also noted that with other unfunded projects, Linder would have 40,000 cars a day which is equal to Eagle Road's flow now - this occurs even without these projects (EIMP, Wilson and Capital Development) . WlLSON/CAPIT AL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8, 2010 Page 5 No one from Fox Run subdivision has contacted lTD to Ms. Golden's knowledge. The signal at Fox Run is underutilized to the North. There are questions regarding relocating the existing Fox Run light. lTD has talked to developer across Chinden regarding its interest in relocating the light. This could help Meridian as well. Ms. Golden described the access permit process for ITD and the timing regarding land use applications which are going through the city process. Ms. Golden noted that the Wilson application is difficult because lTD has not seen more than a conceptual traffic study yet because Wilson is not asking for a change of use on Fox Tail Golf Course property at this time. She is not sure about the status of lTD requiring the extension to five (5) lanes. Ms. Golden believes that the Fox Run light/road issues will need ACHD's input as well. Ms. Golden left the mediation session at 10:30 pm). III. CAPIT AL CITY DEVELOPMENT, INC. David R. Y ore:ason: Mr. Yorgason clarified their intent that the residential shown as eight units per acre will be approximately four units per acre. They have met with many neighbors and have a spreadsheet which tracks most of their neighborhood discussions which has been previously submitted into the public record on these applications. He stated that they would like their Development Agreement modified so that there is no open space requirement for the "R -I". The Staff had recommended that change as well at the public hearing. The R-l lots are a 43,560 square feet minimum. This will make fewer patio home lots and less open space that would make the transition to the properties which are located to the North smoother. The streets come out of the lots which are less than one acre. Mr. Y orgason further discussed their transitioning from neighboring large lots to their residential project. Does not have any compromises on density. He felt that as far as a compromise he is able to make is to anticipate 128 + 257 = 385 (more or less) units which rejected Mr. Broadbent's suggestion of 340 residential lots. However, Mr. Y orgason said he will review the lot layouts and not look at the number of units. He stated that he will put fewer lots across the lot lines adjacent to the existing lots to reduce the amount of light, cars and noise. He stated that they are seeing an increased demand for smaller but not cheap homes. He believes that these homes will be nicer that those in the Settler's Bridge Subdivision. Ramon Y ore:ason: Mr. Y orgason stated his belief that the residential issues have already been compromised and would like a vote for their annexation application next Tuesday whether Wilson goes forward or not. He also noted that in his experience, when planning for commercial development 10,000 square feet of commercial per acre is standard. He felt that with the 21 acres, Wilson's proposed main commercial of210,000 square feet was a precise number. IV. WILSON PROPERTIES, LP & WILSON HOLDINGS, LLC WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8,2010 Page 6 Charles H. Wilson: Mr. Wilson noted that the deceleration lanes to the Fox Tail Golf Course are already in place including a center turn land. He believes that if they were able to get assistance with the Fox Run light from the City, ITD and the neighbors, they would be comfortable with a right in/right out. He stated that it is his first choice to annex in to Eagle. Mr. Wilson is concerned that the neighbors in opposition do not understand the economics that need to be met to develop his property and that no matter how much more he compromises; only no development would make them happy. He was still willing to remove the neighborhood commercial of 55,000 square feet as described by Mr. Knickrehm. He was not willing to reduce the other 210,000 square feet of commercial. He believes that this compromise keeps the project as reasonably viable. Daniel A. Thompson: Mr. Thompson is Wilson's traffic engineer. He stated that underpass option mentioned by Mr. Broadbent would create traffic on the south side and restrict additional movements. He believes that traffic will come to this quadrant with or without the Wilson project or EIMP so he believes this is a better way to solve the existing traffic dilemma for ITD and ACHD. He stated that their mandate does not require them (Wilson) to mitigate anything other than their own impact. He believes that they could complete a traffic study in two weeks. Bob Mitchell: Mr. Mitchell works with the Wilson group. He believes that retail centers begin to draw traffic around 10-11 a.m. so it does not impact the morning commute. They also draw traffic in the evenings so it helps reduce the evening commuter traffic at those high count times. He noted that this is regional gateway area so 210,000 square feet of commercial is not excessive. Bob Banks: Mr. Banks was the spokesman for the Wilson group. He laid out the concept plan that was worked out with the neighbors and is part of the public hearing record. He also discussed the four residential units per acre issue. With regard to relocating the Fox Run light, Mr. Banks stated that he has talked to Mr. McKinney (landowner to South) but has not asked him for a commitment. In summarizing the compromises Wilson has made in the application process, Mr. Banks showed the October 2008 original plan. He illustrated the movement of the signal and proposed that work off the existing signal or moving signal are the options. He stated that their study says that their project would not properly function off the existing signal and that they need the other access as well. ITD conditions are controlled with EIMP. He believes they could try to work with EIMP but they do not have them completed today. Mr. Banks discussed the actions at the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission. There, the Fox Run Subdivision residents said they did not want commercial on the five (5) acre parcel, to which one Commission member agreed. He discussed WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8, 2010 Page 7 how their cul-de-sac option cuts traffic commercial traffic to zero. He believes the parties could agree to cul-de-sac Fox Tail subdivision and route to Meridian Road. He believes Fox Tail HOA and ACHD could agree to that. With regard to the two conditions precedent to annexation in their most recent development agreement draft to the City, Mr. Banks believes the City is more inclined to help the project before annexed than after. He wants to know exactly what they can do with their project prior to committing to the City. He states that they are okay with the movement of the light if they can get compromise. He believes that the underpass is acceptable if the government pays for its construction but does not believe that these projects can economically support it nor would the traffic study require such mitigation. In earlier compromises, they reduced the neighborhood commercial from 70.000 to 55,000 square feet. He believes that the issues with the commercial issue are sound, visual, and traffic. By having residential, transitional uses and buffering plus the traffic compromise, the traffic would improve and with cross access to EIMP, the residents would not have to leave the internal roads to shop. He believes that that would pull traffic off the road during high traffic times and lessen cars at those critical time periods. He believes that their proposal deals with those concerns. He showed examples of visual impacts. He said he is unable to hear Albertsons from City Hall. He stated that they build to suit, not build to spec. He stated that they cannot do the project with the Staffs numbers. The proposed twenty-one acres of main commercial is substantiated by their studies and experts. He noted their previous removal of 5 acres of commercial at Fox Tail HOA's request and that they agreed to the large berm. There are three other quadrants of the intersection, not just theirs. The commercial square footage proposed in the other three quadrants equals 1.6M square feet in Meridian. He believes that if it does not get built here, they will go to the other quadrants and build. He stated that working to get connection with signal out REA with EIMP. He said he will address sewer issues with EIMP. He believes that natural phasing could work out. He does not agree to EIMP language versus the condition precedent language. Gene Schaeffer: Mr. Schaeffer works with the Wilson group. He described the concept plan is the same plan with highlighted road systems. The Master Concept Plan was presented for City Council approval last Tuesday. He stated that they asked for clarity on the approval so that all parties knew the: (1) access for both residential and commercial; (2) densities; (3) sewer capacity in this quadrant is limited so that is why they would want all parties to work together to make it work for everyone; and (4) since there is no specific tenant this will allow WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8, 2010 Page 8 flexibility for their plan. He showed some photographs of the golf course and how it could look with the homes. He stated that the view was looking due south from the existing subdivisions. He stated that everyone in the north property would see trees and they could put in more evergreens to densify the existing trees. He showed the views from the Bunderson property looking south to the Powell property and the possible new residences and commercial property would be buffered with landscaping in front. He believes they would need at least a right in/right out. Don Knickrehm: Mr. Knickrehm is legal counsel for the Wilson group. He discussed the effect of the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation to approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. He stated that Mr.Tanner moved with full support for 210,000 square feet commercial. Mr. Roehling had said "no" because the commercial included a 5-acre lot contained within Foxtail Subdivision. Mr. Smith said "no" because of too much density.? The CCRs were amended to exclude the 5-acre parcel from CCRs. He addressed the commercial square footage. The 2007 Comprehensive Plan talks about a regional commercial area (Chinden/Black Cat). This area has since been annexed by Meridian. That regional plan said not to exceed 40 acres. The office and retail form a buffer. This corner makes sense as a regional commercial center since it is on the northeast corner. That is why Fred Meyer selected it. 600,000 - 1M square feet = regional. Even if we built one-half of this, people have to go by here to shop whether they stop at this corner or not. Look at how Eagle has built out so there is a need for a regional center and it does not make sense to cut it in half. If it is cut in half, from 265,000 to 130,000, it would not make sense. As another compromise to working out the road/light relocation, around 10:30 pm, Mr. Knickrehm told the mediation group that Wilson is willing to forego the 55,0000f neighborhood commercial if they keep main commercial at 210,000. As part of that, if the developer believes the market and the area changes such that it is consistent, they can ask the City Council to amend the development agreement (with public hearing) to replace that square footage in the future. It was noted that Eagle City Code and Idaho Code allow amendment to development agreements on notice and hearing to the City Council. As to the two conditions precedent on ITD approval and sewer capacity, Mr. Knickrehm offered to limit their ability to do so to 90 days instead of 36 months. If they cannot get the contingencies removed in 90 days, they will either waive them or the development agreement and approvals are void. v. NEIGHBORS TO DEVELOPMENT 7 Mr. Knickrehm was describing his understanding of the P&Z meeting, Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Williams had described the meetings too. This summary is not meant to interpret the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendations or votes. WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8, 2010 Page 9 Clearview Estates Subdivision: Larrv Sandusky: Mr. Sandusky stated that his only access out of his property is Meridian Road to Chinden. He has a number of crash concerns because he hauls horses. He believes that the light on Fox Run has not helped with the two lights so close. He has seen people use the turn lane to turn into Fox Run so it is an added hazard. He believes that the signs funded by EIMP were improvements but does not like the added density with these applications. His main issue is safety. He believes that another direct access would be chaos and that road needs to be restructured. He stated that the Fred Meyer traffic studies did not add in Wilson. He stated that he believes that the Fox Run people do not believe that Wilson is negotiating in good faith. He believes it would have been easier if the applications were separate. He would agree to a signal relocation. Winward River Heights Subdivision Phil Broadbent: Mr. Broadbent stated he personally preferred to see the development done through Eagle instead of Ada County. He wanted to know if the developers would further compromise on commercial and residential density. Mr. Broadbent presented his understanding that the parcels to north were 5-6 acres; parcels to the east were 2 acres. He felt traffic will be significant and suggested at one point whether an underpass was considered. He wants less density so there would be less impact on traffic and less density everywhere. He does not like patio homes and wants less density as noise/traffic light. He stated that Dave Turnbull at Paramount will not agree to move the light currently located at Fox Run. He believes that they would have to put in 5 lanes. He believes that it would be inconceivable that City is not requiring 2 more lanes with this project. He wants to reduce number of residential lots to 340. He does not think that Mr. Knickrehm's offer to reduce the commercial by 55,000 was very significant and that it was a hollow offer if they could come back to Council to ask for it back in the future. Regardless, he did believe the Wilson offer was made in good faith. Foxtail HOA: As presented to Susan Buxton by Ryan Moore in emails on the afternoon of March 2, 2010, the Fox Tail HOA wanted the mediation group to be aware of their following issues: (i) They agree with the arrangement made with Dave Y orgason regarding the residential portion of the concept plan and they want the 4 unit/acre incorporated as presented by Mr. Y orgason to them. (ii) They like the City Staff report on commercial to the Planning and Zoning Commission as they feel the commercial density is too high. (iii) They support moving the Fox Run light so long as they can close their entrance to Chinden and access Meridian road through WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIATION March 8, 2010 Page 10 Capital Development's residential development. They do not want any commercial traffic to go through their subdivision. (iv) They do not want any part of these two applications annexed to Meridian. VI. BODIL Y AND BUNDERSON SPRINGS SUBDIVISION (aka SANDY SPRINGS) Scott Trosper: Mr. Trosper stated his concerns come down to the density of the commercial property and traffic impacts on the comer. He believes the level of commercial property is too large and would contribute to problems by impacting the quality of life of the neighbors. He does not like the unprotected turn onto the highway. He believes that the only way Fred Meyer can go forward is with an annexation. He believes that Fred Meyer is being held hostage by Wilson. He believes that traffic is already a problem and it is difficult to get out of the subdivision. He stated that they are already unable to get out on Linder. He would accept the relocation of the Fox Run light. He believes this is a concept plan and that they have to come back to the City with a Preliminary Plat which shows 4.2 or 3.8 units per acre to be located where the Concept Plan shows eight units per acre. He believes that Eagle has a very high open space requirement. The Concept Plan is currently at 4.1 units per acre. He believes that they are creating a traffic reservoir that would make getting in and out of the subdivision more difficult. He stated that he would rather have it compact up against Chinden. He stated that any reduction in commercial would help them at the end of the day. Larrv Swider: Mr. Swider appeared as a participant but did not make many comments except his agreement with Mr. Trosper's positions and concerns. Mr. Swider left at approximately 9:40 pm. VII. EIMP Craie Eisenbere: Mr. Eisenberg is the developer of ElMP. He described meeting with the Wilson group. He has concerns about the two new development agreement terms added by Wilson that make annexation contingent on approvals to their satisfaction in 90 days by Eagle Sewer District and lTD. As to the density, he believes the market will drive that. He stated that their development is difficult even with Fred Meyer. He does not believe the interior roads on the EIMP site plan already approved through Eagle Design Review should be required to be redone. He stated that they believed that they would be able to accomplish it within Eagle and not as a condition of annexation as he is willing to work with Wilson on the cross-access and traffic study results. WILSON/CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT MEDIA nON March 8,2010 Page 11 JoAnn Butler: She stated that the EIMP Development Agreement approving their annexation is approved. She believes that they have to get separate approvals in regard to ACHD/ITD and Sewer District and a separate path to annexation. She stated that they are committed to the City first and wants the same terms in the Wilson DA as is in the EIMP DA that they annex first and work agrees to abide by the approvals of the other entities like Eagle Sewer and ITD. VIII. FRED MEYER Don Forrest: Mr. Forrest noted their support for the Capital City Development annexation. Their problem with Wilson Properties is the addition of the pre- annexation agreement terms making achieving ITD access (irrevocable) and sewer capacity reserved by sewer district a condition precedent. He believes that those are non-starters, different from what he and EIMP had to do in their development agreement and those clauses are not a good way to influence the other agencies. He believes that Wilson is looking for adjustments on the EIMP site plan that has already been approved by Eagle's Design Review Boards. Mr. Forrest noted that their traffic approvals make it safe for the community as they are their customers. He stated that they had traffic models and mitigation that provides more traffic capacity than they create so that helps the area. He stated that they have a good safety buffer and that he already believes is good safety movement. He stated that they do have a signed agreement with lTD. If the Development Agreement passed as is now, he does not believe the Wilson property will annex. He is anticipating that the development of three (3) corners and the 8% growth rate that they build in has not been seen yet. He stated that they have safety factors built in. Their agreement with the City is contingent on contiguity and that is with the current properties. They had an application with the county and they stayed it so to give Eagle a chance to get this annexation path approved so they wanted to avoid going through another process to save that money. They will go to the county if this does not get annexed. He stated that three items in the Wilson Development Agreement that need to be addressed are: (1) cross access; (2) need to be in Eagle; and (3) traffic study. He does think the ITD and sewer capacity questions can be solved in the ninety (90) days suggested by Mr. Knickrehm. He stated that are able to do an easements traffic study.
