EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the results of the park facilities and pathway facilities analysis and
the resulting development impact fees that will be necessary to fund the required facilities. The
facilities analyses provide the background information used in the preparation of the required
Capital Improvement Plan and includes the following: an inventory of existing facilities, projected
build-out projections, adopted level of service standards, an assessment of the need for new
facilities to serve the build-out population, an estimate of the costs to provide those facilities, and
the identification of alternative ways to fund these facilities. The development impact fee is one
of the alternative funding mechanisms and, when implemented, it will provide a means by which
future development will pay for the costs for future park facilities and pathway facilities
improvements needed and created by said future development.
Two definitions will be helpful in understanding this executive summary:
Build Out Projections-the residential forecast of growth within the Area of Impact from
the present time until all available land has been developed to the extent realistically
permitted by the terrain and the Comprehensive Plan. Build out projections are not time
dependent.
Level of Service Standard - A performance standard applied to a facility ensures that
adequate public facilities are provided at a desirable level. This standard can be population
based or square footage based depending on the facility. For park facilities and pathway
facilities, the level of service standard is population based.
The findings of this study can be summarized as follows:
BUILD OUT PROJECTIONS:
Existing Dwelling Units - 4,183

INTRODUCTION
The City of Eagle has experienced rapid growth during the last few years and this growth is
expected to continue at a moderate pace. As this growth proceeds, increasing demands will be
placed on the city's public facilities and services. Construction of new facilities will be required
to meet this new demand. The City has made the decision that new development must pay for the
new parks and new pathways necessary to support this new development. The City has chosen
a development impact fee program as the primary funding mechanism to pay for park facilities and
pathway facilities required to serve new development.
The purpose of this study is to provide the necessary support data to establish a development
impact fee and a Capital Improvements Plan for the identified facilities in conformance with Idaho
Code, Title 67. State Government and State Affairs, Chapter 82. Development Impact Fees (the
"Idaho Development Impact Fee Act"). The Idaho Development Impact Fee Act is the state
enabling legislation that allows for impact fees to be collected by a local jurisdiction and sets the
parameters to ensure that the impact fees are fair and equitable. The required contents of the
Development Impact Fee Study/ Capital Improvements Plan is outlined in Section 67-8206(2) of
the Idaho Development Impact Fee Act. This Act specifies that a Capital Improvements Plan
(CIP) must be provided to allow for the collection of impact fees. The CIP must include the
following information:
•A general description of existing facilities
•A commitment by the City to cure existing deficiencies
•An analysis of capacity and current level of use
•A description of land use assumptions
•An inventory of existing facilities
•A table establishing specific levels of use or consumption by service unit
•A description of all improvements and costs
•The total number of service units attributed by new development
•The projected demand for improvements
•Identification of funding sources
•A time schedule for the commencement and completion of improvements
Throughout this report, the Development Impact Fee Study / Capital Improvements Plan will be
referred to as the 'study'. This study, in conjunction with the Development Impact Fee Ordinance
for the City of Eagle, is in compliance with the Development Impact Fee Act. In addition to
providing the methodology to determine a development impact fee, this study also serves as the
capital improvement plan for park and pathway facilities. The format of this study is such that it
is as easy to follow as possible without sacrificing the detail necessary to withstand close scrutiny,
either legal or otherwise.
The Development Impact Fee Study identifies build out projections for the City of Eagle and those
areas outside the city limits that are within the City's Area of Impact. The build out projections
are based on the land use designations of the City's Comprehensive Plan. These build out
projections are used to determine the projected impacts to park facilities and pathway facilities
created by future development. The demand for facilities requires an analysis of the type and the
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 4
extent of the needed facilities. Once this is completed, a cost to meet the demand can then be
determined. These costs are identified and utilized in this study as a part of the methodology to
provide the necessary rational nexus between the public facility improvement needs and the impact
fee to be paid by future development.
Table 1 on page 3 is a summary of the calculated development impact fees based on the growth
assumptions of this study. The results of the study are based on considerable research and analysis.
The derivation of the fees can be followed by the documentation and methodology contained in
this study.
The Facilities Analysis
The first step of this study was to inventory land uses and existing park facilities and pathway
facilities. The land use and facility inventories of the City of Eagle were developed from land use
maps, existing reports, on-site visual observations and consultation with the City of Eagle staff.
The two facilities included in the inventory and this study are:
• Parks;
• Pathways
The next step in the facilities analysis was to obtain build-out projections. These projections,
which provided an essential basis for the rest of the process, are explained in detail in the Build
Out Projections chapter.
Step three in the facilities analysis process was to establish Level of Service standards (LOS) for
both the park and the pathway facilities. A level of service standard is a statement of policy that
specifies the quantity and/or quality of service that a city intends to provide to its citizens. Once
the level of service standards were adopted by the City,existing facility deficiencies(i.e., facilities
that are not adequate to serve the present population)were identified along with the projected need
for additional facilities at build-out.
The fourth step in preparing the facilities analysis was to make cost estimates for the new or
expanded facilities that will be needed at build out.
The Development Impact Fee
The City Council has determined that development impact fees should be a primary funding
mechanism to finance future park facilities and pathway facilities improvements needed to serve
new development. The facilities analysis provides the necessary information to establish a
development impact fee program for the City of Eagle. There are provisions in the Idaho
Development Impact Fee Act which allows for the modification and updating of the development
impact fees. Additionally, the Act (Section 67-8208(2)) requires that all Capital Improvements
Plans are updated every five (5) years.
The final result of the research, discussions, analysis and re-analysis is a development impact fee
study and ordinance that reflect both professional expertise and local experience.

BUILD OUT PROJECTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The build out projections discussed in this report forecasts residential growth within the
City of Eagle's area of impact from the present time until all available land has been
developed to the extent realistically permitted by the terrain and local land use regulations.
The purpose of such a projection is to help City Council members as well as other local
decision makers know today the extent of the public facilities and services that will be
needed to serve new development.
The residential build out projection is determined by the type of residential land use
designation and the assumed number of dwelling units per acre. Population projections are
determined based on the ultimate number of dwelling units projected and the population
generation rate.
Build out projections are not time dependent. The time it will take a community to reach
build out will vary depending on many factors, not least of which are the inevitable
economic swings of a region. For this reason, this analysis does not attempt to predict
when build out will occur nor does it predict yearly growth rates.
For purposes of planning and budgeting for needed park facilities and pathway facilities,
it is advisable to make short term projections (from three to five years). However, a
community should not lock into such predictions, but instead should monitor its growth
and the subsequent demands on its public facilities constantly and make adjustments in its
facility planning.
Public facility planning is a dynamic process which begins with an accurate assessment of
potential build out scenarios. The steps to develop accurate build out projections are:
1) Define the study area;
2) Determine the number of existing residential units and calculate the existing
population;
3) Determine the remaining vacant acres;
4) Estimate the residential build out projections.
II. STUDY AREA
The study area is defined as the "Area of Impact" as identified on the City of Eagle
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This area is shown on Exhibit 1 on page 7. As specified
previously, the study area includes those lands which are outside the existing city limits,
but within the city's area of impact. For purposes of public facility planning, it is assumed
that these areas will eventually be serviced by the City of Eagle.

III. RESIDENTIAL PROJECTIONS
The Residential Projections chapter provides the amount of existing residential
development and predicts future residential growth based on the most current land use
designations. These land use designations are provided by the City of Eagle
Comprehensive Land Use Plan as depicted on Exhibit 2 on page 9. The land use
assumptions and the methodology used to determine the build out of the City of Eagle are
explained in this chapter.
This section is divided into Existing Residential Development Inventory and Build Out
Residential Projections.
A. Existing Residential Development Inventory
The Ada Planning Association (APA) prepared a demographic report which
analyzed the number of existing households and the employment rate for the City
of Eagle's area of impact. According to the APA report, the number of existing
units within the City of Eagle area of impact in 1996 was 3,573. This figure was
increased to 4,183 to account for new home building permits issued since that time
through January 19, 1999. The existing population was then determined by
multiplying the existing dwelling units by a population generation rate of 2.541
persons per dwelling unit. The calculations indicate that the existing population is
10,625 persons as shown in the table below.

B. Build Out Projections
Future residential development projections forecast the new residential development
that will take place in the study area beyond existing residential development from
the present time to build out
A build out analysis was completed by the APA to determine build out scenarios
for the Treasure Valley region. Contained in the analysis was a build out scenario
for the City of Eagle. The APA worked with the following assumptions in order
to derive the build out numbers for the City of Eagle:
• Developable Land
This was considered to be all parcels not subdivided within the Area of
Impact.
• Flood Plain Constrained Land
Parcels within the flood plain are not considered to be developable.
Therefore, the amount of land within the Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ)
which was in the flood plain was subtracted from the amount of
developable land.
• Land Use Densities
The Eagle Comprehensive Plan adopted densities for each land use
designation. To determine the population at build out the APA applied
the adopted residential densities to 70% of the developable land within
the TAZ (70% was used because that percentage was consistent with the
development trends in the City of Eagle).
The density factors are as follows:
LAND USE DESIGNATION VACANT BUILD OUT
DENSITY FACTOR
Rural Transitional 1 du/5 ac
Very Low Density 1 du/2 ac
Low Density Residential 2 du/ac
Medium Density Residential 4 du/ac
Mixed Use 20 du/ac*

According to the APA Treasure Valley Partnership Build Out Scenario,at build out
there will be 14,985 dwelling units within the City of Eagle's area of impact.
Applying a population generation rate of 2.54, it was determined that the
population at build out will be 38,062 people. As demonstrated in the table below.

PARK FACILITIES
I. INTRODUCTION
The park facilities analysis includes a review of the existing, proposed and future park
facilities within the Area of Impact for the City of Eagle. The park facilities analysis is
based on the need for land which provides active and passive recreational opportunities for
local residents. These areas offer baseball/softball diamonds, soccer fields, playground
equipment, group picnic shelters, and other active and passive recreational facilities.
II. LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD
The level of service standard used to ensure that adequate park facilities are provided in
the City of Eagle is 3.3 acres per 1,000 population. This level of service is based on a
desire by the City of Eagle to provide a variety of park types.
III. PARK FACILITIES ANALYSIS
A. Existing Facilities Analysis
The existing park facilities analysis is comprised of two sections; the existing park
inventory and the existing level of adequacy.
1. Existing Inventory
The existing park facilities inventory provides the acreage of each existing
usable park and any land acquired to be used for park facilities.
The inventory of existing usable parks is provided in the table below.

Capital Improvements Plan 12
As shown in the table above there is a total of 4.08 acres of park land
available to the residents of the City of Eagle.
Land already acquired and designated to be used for park facilities must
also be considered as a part of the existing inventory. The acquisition costs
for this area will not be included in the future costs to be paid by the impact
fee. The following table provides the inventory of land acquired for future
parks:

2. Existing Level of Adequacy
With a current population of 10,625 people, the required park acreage
needed to satisfy the existing park demand totals 35.06 acres. The
demand is calculated as follows:
Existing Population x Level of Service = Existing Park Demand
10,625 Population x 3.3 Acres/1,000 Pop. = 35.06 Acres
Based on the existing demand for 35.06 acres of park facilities and the
existing inventory of 4.08 total acres, there is an overall deficiency of
30.98 acres of park land. Therefore, there is a current need for the
development of additional park land. The deficiency of park acreage is
calculated as follows:
Existing Park Acreage - Current Demand = Park Acreage Deficiency
4.08 Acres - 35.06 Acres = -30.98 Acres
B. Build Out Requirements
Based on a level of service standard identified for park facilities and a build out
population of 38,062 people, a total of 125.60 acres of park facilities will be
needed to serve the build out population. Build out demand is calculated
similarly to existing demand.
Build Out Population x Level of Service = Build Out Park Demand
38,062 Population x 3.3 Acres/1,000 Pop. = 125.60 Acres
Since there are currently 4.08 total acres of park land, there is a future demand
for an additional 121.52 acres of park land.
Build Out Demand - Existing Park Acreage = Future Demand
125.61 Acres - 4.08 Acres = 121.52 Acres
Since there is a deficiency of 30.98 acres, this deficiency must be corrected
using funding sources other than impact fees. The 30.98 acres must be
subtracted from the future demand 121.52 acres which results in a remaining
90.54 acres to be provided by future development via the impact fee.
All future park locations will be determined at the time when demand creates a
need for additional park facilities.
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 15
IV. PARK FACILITIES FINANCING
Park facilities will be provided to the residents of the City of Eagle as the need arises
and when funding is available. The city currently has a deficiency of 30.98 acres of
park facilities. The city is committed to correcting this deficiency.
Funding for park facilities must be obtained now in order to provide adequate park
facilities in the future. The primary source of the funding for future park facilities will
be through the collection of impact fees for park facilities. The following is the
methodology used to determine the park impact fee.
The cost per acre to develop future parks depends on the type of park constructed.
Mini-parks are small with few amenities and are typically passive in nature.
Neighborhood parks generally provide more amenities and active facilities and
therefore have greater development costs per acre. Community parks provide such
amenities as lighted ball fields, restroom facilities and other active facilities beyond
those provided by the neighborhood parks. As such, the cost per acre for the
development of community parks is greater than that of neighborhood parks.
For the purpose of this study, an average cost per acre for the construction of park
facilities is $40,000 per acre. In addition to the construction costs, the costs for park
land acquisition must also be considered. The cost for acquiring park land can also be
quite varied depending on the location. For the purpose of this study, an average cost
of$25,000 per acre for park land is used to calculate park acquisition costs. The total
development cost (construction costs + acquisition costs) for park facilities is assumed
as follows:
Construction Cost/Acre + Acquisition Cost/Acre = Total Cost/Acre
$40,000/Acre + $25,000/Acre = $65,000/Acre
A. Facility Costs To Meet Existing Demand
As expressed previously, there is a deficiency in park acreage. Therefore, there
are additional costs necessary to meet the existing demand for park facilities.
Based on the assumptions provided for acquisition and construction of park
facilities, the cost to correct the existing deficiency is $1,538,823.89. This cost
assumes both the construction of 30.98 acres at a cost of$40,000 per acre and
the acquisition of 11.98 acres at a cost of$25,000 per acre.
Construction Cost/Acre x Construction Deficiency Acreage = Construction Deficiency Cost
$40,000/Acre x 30.98 Acres = $1,239,276.24
Acquisition Cost/Acre x Acquisition Deficiency Acreage = Acquisition Deficiency Cost
$25,000/Acre x 11.98 Acres = $299,547.65
Construction Deficiency Cost + Acquisition Deficiency Cost = Total Deficiency Cost
$1,239,276.24 + $299,547.65 = $1,538,823.89
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 16
There is currently $315,000 appropriated for the construction of park facilities
at the future Ada County Sports Complex to be built on approximately 85 acres
just north of Floating Feather Road in the eastern outskirts of the area of impact.
With the allocation of these funds, the city is making the required commitment
to correct the existing deficiency.
B. Facility Costs To Meet Build Out Demand
In order to meet the build out demand for park facilities, an additional 121.52
acres of park facilities will need to be constructed. As specified previously,
there is a deficiency that must be corrected. The correction of this deficiency
will be subtracted from the future park facilities needed to meet build out
demand. Since the deficiency is 30.98 acres, the remaining acres to be financed
by the impact fee will be 90.54 acres.
Future Demand - Deficiency = Future Demand Financed by Impact Fees
121.52 Acres - 30.98 Acres = 90.54 Acres
The cost for construction of future park facilities varies depending on the type of
park needed. Based on the construction costs provided previously, the cost to
construct 90.54 acres of park land is assumed to be $3,621,694.56.
There will also be a future need to acquire an additional 90.54 acres. At the
rate of$25,000 per acre, the cost for acquisition will be $2,263,559.10.
With the assumptions provided above, the following calculations are used to
determine the total cost for the development of future park facilities needed to
meet build out demand:
Future Park Construction Demand x Construction Cost/Acre = Future Construction Cost
90.54 acres x $40,000/acre = $3,621,694.56
Future Park Acquisition Demand x Acquisition Cost/Acre = Future Acquisition Cost
90.54 acres x $25,000/acre = $2,263,559.10
Future Construction Cost + Future Acquisition Cost = Future Park Cost
$3,621,694.56 + $2,263,559.10 = $5,885,253.66
Based on the above assumptions and calculations, $5,885,253.66 is the amount
needed to pay for future park facilities in order to meet build out demand.
Additionally, the Development Impact Fee Act (Section 67-8208.(1)) contains a
provision which allows for the impact fee to pay for the preparation of the
supporting documents implementing the collection of impact fees. The total cost
for the preparation of the development impact fee supporting documents is
$18,500. One-half of this cost is included in the park impact fee and the
remaining one-half is included in the pathway impact fee. Therefore, the impact
fee will be based on a total amount of$5,894,503.66.
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 17
C. Fee Calculation
The impact fee calculation is a simple process. The fee will be paid only by
future residential development. Therefore, by dividing the cost for future park
facilities of$5,894,503.66 by 10,802 future dwelling units, the park facilities
impact fee is $545.69 per dwelling unit. The fee calculation methodology for
park facilities is shown on Table 2 on page 19.
D. Optional Financing Mechanisms
The following is a list of optional financing mechanisms that can be used to
finance park facilities. Each of these mechanisms is described in more detail in
the Financing Options chapter, beginning on page 36.
► General Taxes
► State-Shared Revenues
► Local Bonds
► Impact Fees
► Special District
► Federal Payment In-Lieu of Taxes Funds
► Community Development Block Grants

Future Development's Total Cost $5,894,503.66
Future Development's / Projected = Fee/DU
Total Cost Dwelling Units
$5,894,503.66 / 10,802 = $545.69
Cost per Dwelling Unit = $545.69
NOTES:
(1) Future Facility Costs are based on the need to acquire and construct
a total of 90.54 acres of park acreage to meet future resident demand.
Acquisition and construction cost is assumed to be$65,000 per acre.

PATHWAY FACILITIES
INTRODUCTION
The pathway facilities analysis also includes a review of the existing, proposed and
future pathway facilities within the Area of Impact for the City of Eagle. The pathway
facilities analysis is based on the need to provide adequate pathways for local residents.
In addition to the recreational opportunities created, the pathways will also provide
alternative routes for traveling from one place to another.
II. LEVEL OF SERVICE STANDARD
The level of service standard used to ensure that adequate pathways are provided in the
City of Eagle is 4,670 linear feet per 1,000 population. This level of service is based
on the lengths of the pathways shown in the existing City of Eagle Comprehensive
Plan. This level of service along with the assumptions provided in this chapter will
ultimately achieve construction of all trails identified in the existing Comprehensive
Plan.
III. PATHWAY FACILITIES ANALYSIS
A. Existing Facilities Analysis
The existing path analysis contains two sections; the existing pathways inventory
and the existing level of adequacy.
1. Existing Inventory
The existing usable pathway is provided as the total length of all existing
public pathways within the area of impact. Presently, there is a total of
25,9502 linear feet of pathways. These pathways are a combination of
both gravel trails and asphalt paths.
2. Existing Level of Adequacy
With a current population of 10,625 people, there is a current demand
for pathways of 49,615.96 linear feet. The demand is calculated as
follows:
Existing Population x Level of Service = Existing Pathway Demand
10,625 Population x 4,670 LF/ 1,000 Pop. = 49,615.96 Linear Feet
Based on the existing demand for 49,615.96 linear feet of pathway
facilities and the existing inventory of 25,950 linear feet, there is a
deficiency of 23,665.96 linear feet of pathways. Therefore, there is a

current need for the development of additional pathways in order to meet
the current den}and. The deficiency of pathways is calculated as follows:
Existing Pathways - Current Demand = Pathway Length Deficiency
25,950 Linear Feet - 49,615.96 Linear Feet = <23,665.96 Linear Feet>

B. Build Out Requirements
Based on the current City of Eagle Comprehensive Plan, the total length for all
existing and proposed future pathways is 268,397.50. This is the total length of
all pathways at build out.
Since there are currently 25,950 linear feet of pathways and the city is currently
planning for 268,397.50 linear feet of pathways at build out, there is a future
demand for an additional 242,447.5 linear feet of pathways to meet the build out
condition.
Build Out Length - Existing Length = Future Demand
268,397.50 LF - 25,950.00 LF = 242,447.50 LF
Of this future demand, certain portions of the future pathways will be
constructed by the developers of property located adjacent to identified pathway
segments. The pathway segments to be constructed by the developer will be a
requirement attached to the approval of a development project. The total
developer contribution is assumed to be 90,655.4 linear feet and the pathway
segments and lengths of contribution are identified on Table 3 on page 23.
After subtracting the deficiency of 23,665.96 linear feet for pathways that will
be funded by other sources and the developer contribution, the remaining
pathways to be financed by the impact fee totals 128,126.14 linear feet.
IV. PATHWAY FACILITIES FINANCING
Similar to park facilities, pathway facilities will be provided to the residents of the City
of Eagle as the need arises and when funding is available. The city currently has a
deficiency of 23,665.96 linear feet of pathway facilities. The city is committed to
correcting this deficiency as soon as additional funding becomes available.
Funding for future pathways must be obtained now in order to provide adequate
pathway facilities for the future residents. One source of funding for future pathway
facilities will be through the collection of impact fees. The following is the
methodology used to determine the pathway impact fee.
The cost to develop future pathways depends on the type of pathway constructed.
There are three types of future pathways proposed for the City of Eagle; 1) 8 feet of
paved asphalt with 10 feet of right-of-way, 2) 8 feet of gravel trail with 10 feet of right-
of-way and, 3) 12 feet of paved asphalt with 25 feet of right-of-way.
For the purpose of this study, a cost per square foot for the construction of pathway
facilities is assumed to be $1.38 for asphalt paved pathway and $0.69 for a gravel trail.
In addition to the construction costs, the costs for land acquisition must also be
considered. The cost for acquiring land for pathways is assumed to be similar to that
for park facilities at an average cost of$25,000 per acre or $0.57 per square foot. The
Development Impact Fee Study / May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 24
total development cost (construction costs + acquisition costs) for the 8-foot pathway
facilities is assumed as follows:
► 8-foot asphalt path within 10-foot right-of-way = $16.74 per Linear Foot
► 8-foot gravel trail within 10-foot right-of-way = $11.22 per Linear Foot
The pathways along the Boise River are proposed to be larger regional type pathways.
Due to the location of the pathways adjacent to the river, there are no acquisition costs.
This land is already publicly owned. Since the pathway is proposed to be asphalt paved
at 12 feet in width, the total cost for pathway development is assumed to be $1.38 per
square foot or $16.56 per linear foot.
A. Facility Costs To Meet Existing Demand
As demonstrated previously, there is a current deficiency in pathway facilities.
To correct this deficiency, the city will construct 23,665.96 linear feet of gravel
trails. The cost to correct this deficiency is assumed to be $265,532.10. This
amount will not be financed by the impact fee. Other funding sources must be
used to correct this deficiency.
B. Facility Costs To Meet Build Out Demand
In order to meet the build out demand for pathway facilities, an additional
242,447.50 linear feet of pathways must be constructed. As indicated
previously, 23,665.96 linear feet of gravel trails will be provided by the city to
correct the existing deficiency and 90,655.40 linear feet of pathways will be
provided by the developers for pathways shown on the Pathway Plan that cross
property that will be developed in the future. Based on the following
calculations, the cost to construct the remaining pathways is assumed to be
$2,463,414.74.
Future Pathway Distance - Developer Pathway Contribution = Revised Future Distance
242,447.5 LF - 90,655.40 LF = 151,792.10 LF
Revised Future Distance = Future Pathway Development Cost
151,792.10 LF = $2,728,946.84
Pathway Deficiency Distance = Pathway Deficiency Cost
23,665.96 LF = $265,532.10
Future Pathway Development Cost - Pathway Deficiency Cost = Pathways Cost After Deficiency
$2,728,946.84 - $265,532.10 = $2,463,414.74
The cost for pathways after the developer contribution and after the deficiency
correction is considered must be further adjusted. This additional adjustment
accounts for the cost to prepare the development impact fee study and capital
improvements plan and to include the consideration of other funding sources.
The total cost for the preparation of the development impact fee study and
supporting documents is $18,500. One-half of this cost ($9,250) is included in
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 25
the pathway impact fee and the remaining one-half is included in the park impact
fee. This amount is added to the $2,463,414.74. Any other funding sources
anticipated must be subtracted from this amount. At this time it is assumed that
80% of the cost to construct the four pathways adjacent to the Boise River will
be financed by other funding sources. This amount is assumed to be
$880,683.87.
Based on the above explanation, the following calculations are used to determine
the total cost for the future pathway facilities to be financed by the impact fee:
Pathways Cost After Deficiency + Portion of Cost for Fee Study = Future Facility Cost
$2,463,414.74 + $9,250 = $2,472,664.74
Future Facility Cost - Other Funding Sources = Cost Financed By Impact Fee
$2,472,664.74 - $880,683.87 = $1,592,001.62
Based on the above assumptions and calculations, $1,592,001.62 is the amount
to be financed by development impact fees.
C. Fee Calculation
The impact fee calculation is a simple process. The fee will be paid only by
future residential development. Therefore, by dividing the cost of
$1,592,001.62 by 10,802 future dwelling units, the pathway facilities impact fee
is $147.38 per dwelling unit. The fee calculation methodology for pathway
facilities is shown on Table 4 on page 27.
Development Impact Fee Study / May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 26
Table 4
Pathway Fee Calculation
Future Facility Cost = $2,472,664/4
Future Facility Cost $2,472,664.74
- Other Funding Sources (1) - $880,663.12
Future Development's Total Cost $1,592,001.62
Future Development's / Projected = Fee/ DU
Total Cost Dwelling Units
$1,592,001.62 / 10,802 = $147.38
Cost per Dwelling Unit = $147.38
NOTES:
(1) It is assumed that other funding sources will be used to pay for 80% of the cost
of the four paths along the Boise River.

D. Optional Financing Mechanisms
The following is a list of optional financing mechanisms that can be used to
finance pathway facilities. Each of these mechanisms is described in more detail
in the Financing Options chapter, beginning on page 36.
► General Taxes
► State-Shared Revenues
► Local Bonds
► Impact Fees
► Special District
► Federal Payment In-Lieu of Taxes Funds
► Community Development Block Grants

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PHASING
INTRODUCTION
Projecting phasing of necessary capital improvements can be a difficult task in the State
of Idaho. On the one hand, it is in the city's best interest to pay for facilities as they
are needed to maintain an adequate level of service standard. On the other hand, the
Idaho Development Impact Fee Act requires that monies collected through impact fees
must be spent within specified time frames or else they must be refunded. The
"refund" requirement sets significant constraints on a city in determining the timing of
new capital facilities.
The time constraints placed on the facilities being addressed by the City of Eagle is five
years with the ability to extend to a total of eight years given special circumstances.
What this means is that any dollar collected by impact fees must be spent within a
maximum eight year period from the date it was collected. This makes the phasing of
capital improvements more dependent on when the money needs to be spent than on
when the improvement is actually needed. Until the State legislature changes this
"refund" requirement to more reasonable time limits, cities will have to contend with
phasing schedules that may not relate to need as much as financial expediency.
This chapter proposes a phasing schedule that takes the spending time limits of the Act
into account as much as possible. It is in no one's interest to collect money for needed
improvements and then ending up refunding it back eight years later. Keep in mind,
that this phasing schedule should be reviewed and modified on an annual basis to
accommodate changes in growth rate and demand. It is not intended to be a cast-in-
concrete schedule for all time. It will need to be reviewed constantly to be a useful tool
and to ensure that all monies collected will be spent on needed capital facilities.
Facility phasing is divided into three time periods:
1 year - Facilities scheduled to be funded within the first year of adoption
of this study;
5 year - Facilities that are scheduled to be funded within five years of the
adoption of this study; and
6+ years - Facilities that will be scheduled to be funded sometime beyond
six years.
The residential phasing is shown on Tables 8 and 9. It is important to note that these
phasing projections are for planning purposes only and are not intended to be used for
anything other than educated guesses on future growth. The intent of these projections
is to give the City Council an idea as to when facilities may be needed and when
collected monies may need to be spent. It is simply a planning tool to give the city
notice to do detailed capital improvement planning.
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 29
H. RESIDENTIAL PHASING PROJECTIONS
Growth projections are difficult to predict. There are many variables associated with
future growth that an exact yearly amount of growth can only be estimated. This
estimate can be helpful for the purposes of providing future public facilities.
The growth that has occurred in the City of Eagle since 1993 to present averages at
about 257 new home building permits issued per year. The future growth projections
provided by APA indicate a total increase of 543 new dwelling units between the year
2000 and 2005. This equates to about 108 new home building permits issued per year.
The residential phasing projections in this study assume that there will be approximately
182 new home building permits issued per year. This amount was determined by
adding the past trend average of 257 units per year to the APA projected 108 units per
year and dividing by two. We believe this to be a practical estimate to give the City
Council an idea as to when facilities may need to come on line. If the growth rate
changes, as it inevitably will, the projections' table will also change.

TEL PARK FACILITIES PHASING
The Park Facilities Phasing table provided on page 33 identifies when park facilities
will need to be provided. The table shows that there is an existing deficiency of 30.98
acres. This deficiency will be reduced 7.88 acres by the appropriation of$315,000 for
park facilities. A deficiency will continue to appear until the city can obtain other
funds to correct the deficiency. After the appropriation of the $315,000 and assuming
$65,000 per acre for the acquisition and construction of park facilities, a remaining
$1,223,323.89 will be needed to correct the existing facilities deficiency. It has been
determined that to correct the existing park facilities deficiency, the city will
appropriate 61,166.19 per year for 20 years to be spent on acquiring and constructing
new parks. The Park Facilities Phasing table indicates that every five years new park
facilities will be developed at a cost of$305,830.97. Funding for these park facilities
will come from sources other than impact fees such as grants, donations, property taxes
and/or the general fund. The park acreage for the years 2003 and 2008 are different
due to park land that has already been acquired. The years 2013 and 2018 assume that
all acquired land has been used.
Park facilities funded by the collection of impact fees will be provided every five years.
It is assumed that $455,000 from previously collected impact fees will be appropriated
for the development of 7.0 acres in the year 2003. It is assumed that by the year 2008
$520,000 will be appropriated for the development of 8.0 acres of park facilities.
Additional park facilities will be provided as shown on Table 6. The location for these
future park facilities is currently unknown.

IV. PATHWAY FACILITIES PHASING
The Pathway Facilities Phasing table provided on page 35 identifies when pathway
facilities will need to be provided. The table shows that there is a current deficiency of
pathway facilities available. In order to correct this deficiency, the City of Eagle must
construct 23,665.96 linear feet of pathways. The construction time for these pathways
is not known at this time, however, it is assumed that the funding will be appropriated
by the year 2003. The location of any pathway improvements will be based on the
future logical pathway connections needed at that time. Funding for additional
pathways will occur in the years 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018.

FINANCING OPTIONS
INTRODUCTION
As provided at the end of each facility section of this analysis, there are many ways the
City of Eagle can finance its present and future capital facility needs. This section
briefly describes some of the most widely used financing mechanisms.
A. General Taxes
The City of Eagle can levy property taxes, sales tax and a tax-like business
license fee which would form the main sources of revenue for the City. Any of
these taxes can be used to construct or improve capital facilities, but as a
practical matter virtually all revenues the City generates are needed for the day-
to-day operations of the City government, making it necessary to fmd other
ways to finance capital facilities.
B. Dedicated Taxes
Dedicated taxes are funds that are received from specified sources and disbursed
to pay for a specific function of government. The transient room tax (TRT) is a
good example of a dedicated tax. A TRT is imposed on lodgings within the
City and is a source of revenue. However, the funds received are limited to
costs for tourism promotion and the provision of facilities that help
accommodate visitors to the area.
C. State-shared Revenues
The State of Idaho distributes a share of the proceeds from its tax on the sale of
gasoline to counties and cities. This money is the principal source of funding
for local road maintenance and improvements, which is the only purpose for
which it can be used.
The State also distributes a portion of its sales tax and liquor proceeds to cities
and counties. This revenue is not dedicated to a specific purpose, but is used to
supplement general tax revenues.
D. Local Bond Issues
Local governments can borrow money to finance capital facilities projects by
issuing bonds. There are two basic types of bonds. General obligation (GO)
bonds are repaid using a dedicated property tax levy. Revenue bonds, which are
often used to install or improve water and sewage utilities, are repaid with user
fees. Bonds can generally be issued only if approved by a vote of the
jurisdiction's taxpayers.
Development Impact Fee Study / May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 36
E. Impact Fees
Impact fees can be a significant funding source to finance large scale public
facilities and services. Impact fees are intended to ensure that new development
pay its proportional share of public facilities based on the impacts created by
this new development.
The following is a list of the public facilities as identified in the Idaho
Development Impact Fee Act that have a life expectancy of ten or more years
and allow for the collection of impact fees for the purposes of improvements to
the facilities to mitigate against the impacts from future development:
i. Water supply production, treatment, storage and distribution facilities;
ii. Wastewater collection, treatment and disposal facilities;
iii. Roads, streets and bridges, including rights-of-way, traffic signals,
landscaping and any local components of state or federal highways
iv. Storm water collection, retention, detention, treatment and disposal
facilities, flood control facilities, and bank and shore protection and
enhancement improvements;
v. Parks, open space and recreation areas, and related capital
improvements; and
vi. Public safety facilities, including law enforcement, fire, emergency
medical and rescue and street lighting facilities.
F. User Fees
User fees are usually authorized by statute for specific uses and are typically
required for connection to sewer and water systems. The fees are used as a
revenue source to maintain the systems in proper operating condition and for the
construction of facilities needed to meet demand.
G. Special Districts
Special districts can be created to help fmance the provision and, in many cases,
maintenance of new facilities that benefit specific areas. People within a special
district must pay an additional property tax levy or user fees to help repay the
bonds issued by the district and finance its ongoing operations.
Idaho law allows the City of Eagle to form improvement districts and special
service districts. The residents of an area may also petition to have a special
district created. The procedures are slightly different for each type of district,
but all involve an opportunity for property owners to protest the formation of
the district.
Development Impact Fee Study / May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 37
Assuming that a majority of property owners in an area are willing, special
districts might be used to finance water and sewer facilities, major roadways and
other public facilities that serve specific areas.
H. State Grants and Assistance Programs
The State of Idaho has a variety programs intended to assist local jurisdiction in
financing public facilities and services. These programs generally must be used
for specific projects and by which an application requesting the assistance must
be provided to the state. The financial assistance from the state can be in the
form of a proprietary option to purchase state property, funds clear of the need
from repayment, matching funds and/or low interest loans. Some of the funds
are also matched by the federal government, but are still managed by the state.
Federal Assistance
The federal government also provides a variety of programs available to local
jurisdictions for financial assistance. One of the more common funding sources
is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Other typical
sources of funds are federal matching funds for state run assistance programs. It
must be noted that by the end of the 1980s, the funds available from the federal
government have substantially decreased. Other available funding sources are
as follows:
1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - GRANTS FOR PUBLIC WORKS
AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT - The objective of this
grant is to promote economic development and assist in the construction
of facilities needed to encourage the creation and retention of permanent
jobs in areas experiencing severe economic distress. The facilities can
include water and sewer systems, industrial access roads to industrial
parks, rail road siding and spurs, tourism facilities, vocational schools,
business incubator facilities and infrastructure improvements for
industrial parks. The basic grant may fund up to 50% of the cost of the
facilities. For communities that are severely depressed the grant may
fund up to 80% of the cost of the facilities.
2. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS - Although not as
plentiful as they once were, Community Development Block Grants
(CDBG) are still available for wide variety of infrastructure
improvements needed by local governments.
II. SUMMARY
The recommended financing mechanism used to fund the park and pathway facilities
identified in this study were previously identified within the facility analysis for each
facility. The recommended mechanism will be based on the appropriateness of the
mechanism to the amount of funds and the facility needs.

IMPLEMENTATION
INTRODUCTION
This section deals with the actual mechanics of collecting the impact fee. The
implementation measures to be discussed include the timing of collection and the fee
collection method.
II. TIMING OF FEE COLLECTION
For collection of the impact fee, it is proposed that all fees be collected at the time of
building permit issuance. There are several reasons for collecting the impact fees at
building permit issuance rather than at an earlier development approval stage or at a
later occupancy stage. First, the collection of the fee at building permit issuance is
timed more closely to when the actual impacts of the development to public facilities
will occur. In most instances, when a building permit is acquired, construction usually
occurs in a relatively short period of time. Collecting a fee earlier in the process (e.g.,
at the development approval stage) contains a greater risk that the development will not
actually be constructed. In that event, the City is obligated to refund monies collected
after a certain period of time. This can create both financial and administrative
problems for the county, especially if the money has already been spent on a new
facility.
Second, collection of the fee at building permit issuance will be administratively easier
since most other fees are collected at this time. The necessary accounting of fees to
ensure that the monies are spent on facilities actually being impacted by the particular
development will be much easier if the money is collected at this stage.
Third, collecting the fee at a later stage of development (i.e., at time of occupancy)
creates another burden on the City to collect the fee after construction is complete.
Many people may not be willing to pay the fee at that point making it necessary for the
City to institute enforcement procedures. This typically adds another strain on City
resources and does not lend itself to good public relations.
III. FEE COLLECTION METHOD
The method used by the City to collect fees is critical to ensure that fees are collected in
a proper manner and accounted for in order to withstand any legal challenges. It is
recommended that the fees for each facility be charged separately. Although this may
sound cumbersome, it is the best way to guarantee an accurate accounting of all fees
collected. The basic premise of collecting impact fees is that the fees will be used for
specific facilities that are being impacted by the new development. The City is required
to account for every penny collected and to set up separate accounts for holding and
subsequently spending these fees. Money collected for parks cannot be spent on
circulation. Monies collected to pay for a circulation facility cannot be spent
somewhere else in the City.
Development Impact Fee Study/ May 11, 1999
Capital Improvements Plan 39
Another reason to collect fees separately is that if one fee is successfully challenged in
the courts, the remaining fees will remain intact. In other words, successful challenge
of one fee will not invalidate the entire fee program.
From the developer's point of view, it makes no difference if the fees are accounted for
separately. The developer would receive a cost accounting of individual fees, but only
one check for the total fee would be required.

CONCLUSION
The Development Impact Fee Study provides the City of Eagle with the information needed to
ensure that land use and public investment decisions are based on an accurate assessment of the
current availability of, and future demand for, public facilities and services.
The impacts assumed by future development are based on the existing land use designations
and the current census data available. Changes to the land use designations could occur in the
future to reflect the desires of future residents or political decision makers. These changes
may lead to different impacts to public facilities. In addition, changing demographics may also
result in different impacts to public facilities. Development trends and demographic changes
will continue to evolve and shape the development and growth of the study area. To
compensate for these changes, the park facilities and pathway facilities analyses should be
updated on a regular basis to maintain the validity of the study and to effectively plan for these
facilities in the future.
As previously demonstrated, the impact fee amounts provided should pay for the all future
impacts to park facilities and pathway facilities. The Development Impact Fee Study and the
impact fees should be updated from time to time in order to ensure that the fees continue to pay
for impacts created by future development as well as maintain proportionate fairness. The
update to this study and the impact fees should be conducted as determined necessary by the
Eagle City Council.
In conclusion, the City of Eagle - Development Impact Fee Study is a document that can be
utilized in a wide variety of ways to prepare for and assist in the management of growth in the
future. The information presented in this study will help the City of Eagle decision makers
understand the projected extent of their community's growth and anticipate the costs of
providing the park facilities and pathway facilities needed to accommodate that growth. It
should be consulted often to ensure that proposed development within the study area can be
accommodated by the existing and future facilities identified. This study is a working
document that can be used as the basis to develop other capital improvement studies and
programs to ensure all other public facilities will meet the impacts created by future
development.
This study is also known as Addendum A of the City of Eagle Development Impact Fee
Ordinance. The approval of this study and the ordinance will allow the City of Eagle the
ability to collect impact fees for the facilities identified.

Fifth Year Impact Fee/ Capital Improvements Supplement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Idaho's Impact Fee Statute, in IC 67-8208.2, requires that capital improvement plans
upon which impact fee systems are based be "updated" every five years. This report,
dated 2004, represents the update of the City of Eagle's Development Impact Fee
Study/ Capital Improvements Plan dated May 11, 1999. The 1999 study
recommended a schedule of impact fees for parks, and a schedule of impact fees for
pathways. The City adopted only the impact fees for parks. Hence this update
considers, reviews and recommends amendments only for the impact fees for parks.
In the 1999 report, a parks impact fee of$545.69 per dwelling (equivalent to $214.84 per
expected new resident/occupant)was calculated and recommended, based on expected
cost data supplied by the firm performing the study (Hofmann Associates, Laclede,
Idaho), and a "deficiency" as discussed in IC 67-8208.1(a) was noted and a requirement
for the City to cure the deficiency was set forth. This requirement entailed a system of
General Fund contributions and offsetting impact fee discounts to fund "cure" of the
deficiency. The recommended impact fee of$545.69 per dwelling and the associated
system of discounts and General Fund obligations for"curing the deficiency" were
adopted by the City Council and have since been enforced as integral parts of the City's
parks improvements program.
In the current review (year 2004), it is found that considering both land and state of
development, the City's parks program still has a deficiency, but it is greatly reduced
from that in 1999. The cure of the deficiency has been partially done through park land
acquisition. Unlike the situation in 1999, the City now has some actual cost data for
parks construction in Eagle. Using this data, together with some data from nearby
communities in the review period, a recommended impact fee basis per new
resident/occupant is derived. On this basis, it is recommended that the City adopt the
following base impact fee schedule for new residential construction:
• Detached Single-family Dwelling: $ 1,752.14
• Multi > 800 sq. ft., per unit $ 1,105.01
• Multi < 800 sq. ft., per unit $ 757.02
• Hotel Room or Suite $ 433.46
It is recommended that a seven year program for correcting the deficiency by General
Fund participation be re-defined. A per capita annual General Fund outlay of$14.76 is
recommended. To harmonize these impact fees with General Fund inputs, a modified
schedule of discounts is also recommended, diminishing each year and ending after
seven years. This schedule is presented in the text.

Fifth Year Impact Fee/ Capital Improvements Supplement
INTRODUCTION
This report is a Supplement to update the City of Eagle's Development Impact Fee
Study/ Capital Improvements Plan (first revision dated August 18, 1999), which was
produced for the City by Hofmann Planning Associates of Laclede, Idaho. Only those
parts of the original study that have been affected by change in the five years that have
elapsed from 1999 to 2004 are treated in this Supplement. The remainder of the original
report stands unchanged.
The particular statistics that have changed since 1999 are:
1. Population of the City,
2. Market cost of land,
3. Construction cost, and
4. Facilities inventory.
5. Predicted "Build-out" population.
The Impact Fees statute, Idaho Statutes Title 67, Chapter 82, remains the same as in
1999 in the particulars pertaining to Eagle's Parks Development Impact Fee program
Considerations pertinent to the impact fee system under the referenced statute that have
not altered as of this writing (August, 2004) include:
1. Levels of use and target level of service,
2. Land use assumptions,
3. Demand (per capita)for improvements, and
4. Funding sources.
CURRENT SITUATION
The City's probable population is 16,300 as of December 1, 2004, based on probable
5% annual growth from the U.S. Census estimate value of 15,253 for July 1, 2003.
Parks level of service standard adopted in 1999 is 3.3 acres per 1,000 population. At
this standard, required parks area is 53.79 acres currently. The 2004 Comprehensive
Plan added 22,000 probable residents to the "build-out" population of the City, bringing
the value to 60,000. Build-out parks requirement at the probable "build-out" population
of 60,000 is 198.0 acres.
Actual developed parks area is 17.08 acres. Land held by ownership or by long-term
lease for parks development, including both developed and undeveloped land, is 119.22
acres (which leaves 102.14 acres undeveloped). Deficiency of developed park is 36.71
acres, but surplus of land on hand is 65.43 acres.

Hill Road Site 14.74,
Total Undeveloped: 102.14
Total Land = 119.22 Acres
Total Developed = 17.08 Acres
PROBABLE COST BASIS
Probable costs stated in the 1999 report were based on assumptions of$25,000 per
acre for land acquisition and $40,000 per acre for construction to develop parks. It
appears that both of these values are unrealistically low.
The construction involved in development of Merrill Park, a community park, cost
approximately $130,000 per acre. The proposed development of Hill Road Park is
expected to cost $2,040,000 by the architect. Hill Road Park's area is 14.74 acres. This
gives a per acre development cost of$138,400. Since Merrill Park and Hill Road Park
are the principal examples of recent park development in Eagle, their costs are taken as
representative of Eagle's standards, hence the probable cost of park development in
Eagle is taken as $135,000 per acre.
The probable market value of developable land in Eagle is taken as $50,000 per acre.
Since actual amounts paid by developers for large tracts of land are often not divulged,
the data on current land value is unsatisfactory. The value of$50,000 per acre
represents the approximate lower end of a range of values of"$50,000 to $60,000" given
orally by land developers currently active in Eagle.

Fifth Year Impact Fee/Capital Improvements Supplement
DEFICIENCY CONDITION
The pertinent Idaho statute requires that pre-existing deficiencies in impact-fee-funded
construction programs be cured by resources from sources other than impact fees. In
the current program, as recommended in the 1999 report, deficiencies are being
corrected by a system of appropriations from the General Fund.
In determining the required funding to correct deficiencies, land required at the current
open market value is added to construction required at the current average probable
construction cost in order to derive a total value of deficiency as a basis for required
General Fund (or other) contributions. Extending the same method to current
conditions, the following values are derived:
Construction deficiency 36.71 acres @ $135,000 = $4,955,850.00
Land surplus 65.43 acres @ $50,000 = $3,271,500.00
Deducting land value from construction deficiency, the net deficiency is $1,684,350.00. A
program to correct this deficiency in seven years would require current residents to
contribute $240,621.43 per year through General Fund appropriations. This would
require an appropriation basis of$14.76 per person per year, based on a current
population of 16,300.
BASE IMPACT FEES
Required impact fee per capita:
3.3 X ($135,000 + $50,000)
1,000 = $610.50 per capita
It is recommended that Eagle amend its impact fees ordinance to define required impact
fees by class of dwelling unit. Best available occupancy data indicates the average
detached house occupancy of 2.87 found by the U.S. Census of 2000 for Eagle.
Occupancies of multiple units and hotel rooms were locally determined by Boise and
their data is assumed to be representative for those classes of dwellings in the area
generally: 1.81 per unit for multiple units larger than 800 square feet, 1.24 per unit per
multiple less than 800 square feet, and 0.71 per hotel room.
With these average occupancies, the base impact fees per unit become:
Detached: 2.87 x $610.50 = $1,752.14
Multi >800: 1.81 x$610.50 = 1,105.01
Multi <800: 1.24 x $610.50 = 757.02
Hotel Room: 0.71 x $610.50 = 433.46
No data was found that would support subdividing the detached house category into
classes.

CITY OF EAGLE—IMPACT FEE
T 2011 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Executive Summary and Recommendations
Idaho's Impact Fee Statute in Idaho Code, Title 67, Chapter 82, requires capital improvement
plans upon which impact fee systems are based be "updated" every five years. This report
represents the second amendment of the City of Eagle's Development Impact Fee Study /
Capital Improvements Plan dated May 11, 1999 (Hofman Study). The Hofman Study
recommended a schedule of impact fees for parks, and a schedule of impact fees for pathways.
The City adopted only the impact fees for parks: $545.69 per dwelling unit. Hence this update
considers, reviews, and recommends amendments only for the impact fees for parks.
In 2004, the first amendment was completed. As a result of obtaining actual cost data from park
construction in Eagle, the fee was periodically adjusted upward to the current amount of
$1,752.14 per single family dwelling unit. In both the initial study and in the first amendment, a
park "deficiency" under Idaho Law' was noted and a requirement for the City to cure the
deficiency was set forth. This requirement entailed a system of General Fund contributions and
offsetting impact fee discounts to eliminate or "cure" the deficiency. With land acquisition and
park construction since 2004, the deficiency has been eliminated.
In the current (year 2011) Capital Improvement Plan update and amendment, the recommended
basic Impact Fee is $1,314.29 per single family dwelling unit. The justification for the $437.85
reduction per dwelling unit results from three factors: (a) an updated assessment of average
park cost based on park features and components, (b) credit for a surplus of developed park
acreage, and (c) credit for a surplus of undeveloped park land held by the City.
There are two elements contained in this current review that, when applied, modify the updated
assessment (item a, above) and resulting charge per dwelling unit.
1. Average Park Cost: Types or functions of parks may be distinguished by size,
features, and amenities. The Hofman Study and the 2004 Amendment used a single
park cost per acre value. Subsequent park construction demonstrates that
development cost per acre will vary for various features and function of parks. By
separating dominant park components (for example playground equipment area
versus soccer fields) for cost purposes, a more accurate "average" cost is applied to
the impact fee calculation.
2. The average number of persons per dwelling unit for the Impact Fee calculation
determines the assessment of cost per dwelling unit. Best available data including
the 2010 Census for the Boise/Eagle area alters values used in 1999 and 2004. For
example, the value, 2.54 persons per single family dwelling unit from the 2000
Census, is now 2.82 persons per dwelling unit.

2011 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Utilizing the refined cost assessment based on park components and the current data on
persons per dwelling unit, the recommended fee schedule per capita and per residential unit is
as follows:
• Base Impact Fee, per capita $ 466.06
• Detached Single-family Dwelling $1,314.29
• Multi-family Dwelling under 800 s.f. $1,006.69
• Multi-family Dwelling over 800 s.f. $ 675.79
• Hotel/Motel/Bed & Breakfast, per room $ 316.92
For the application of the refined assessment of cost by park components to be applied to the
Impact Fee analysis, the City may need to amend its Impact Fee Ordinance.2
Introduction
The 1992 Idaho Legislature passed House Bill
No. 804, Title 67, Chapter 82, Idaho Code that {
sets forth the requirements for the calculation
and accounting of impact fees. To require ,
impact fees, a local governmental entity must r
adopt a Comprehensive Plan, an Impact Fee
Ordinance, and a Capital Improvement Plan to ;
comply with Idaho Law.3 These plans must be „r
reviewed annually with respect to capital
improvements with an update every five years.4
The Impact Fees statute, Idaho Statutes Title
67, Chapter 82, remains the same as in 1999 in
the particulars pertaining to Eagle's Parks Development Impact Fee program. Impact fees for
parks are calculated based on new residential development since increased demand for parks
is created by a growing population.
The City of Eagle Impact Fee Ordinance for parks was adopted on May 11, 1999. The Impact
Fee Ordinance is part of the Eagle City Code, Title 7, Chapter 6.
This report is a second amendment to update the City of Eagle's Development Impact Fee
Study/ Capital Improvements Plan (approved May 11, 1999 revised August 18, 1999), which
was produced for the City by Hofman Planning Associates of Laclede, Idaho. In 2004, the first
amendment was prepared to update inventory, cost, and to recalculate the deficiency condition.
For an update, only those parts of the original study which have been affected by change in the
years that have elapsed from 1999 to 2011 are treated. The remainder of the original report
including funding and financial aspects stands unchanged.

*22011 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
The updated calculation of impact fees is based on four components:
1. Projected population growth through 2031 (20-year planning period).
2. Primary function of new parks and requisite amenities or components.
3. Cost to acquire and construct each park less applicable credits.
4. Average occupants per residence (2010 Census).
Considerations pertinent to the impact fee system under the referenced statute that have not
altered as of this 2011 Amendment include:
1. Levels of use and target Level of Service,
2. Demand (per capita) for improvements, and
3. Funding sources and financial analysis.
The Hofman Study, following the recommendation of the Development Impact Fee Advisory
Committee, set a Level of Service standard of 3.3 acres of developed park land per 1,000
population. This standard as adopted by the City Council remains the basis for analyzing park
land surplus or deficiency as the city develops its park system. The Hofman Study made no
distinction of park development types, sizes or amenities to meet various needs of the
community.
Current Situation
The 2010 US Census concluded the City's population was 19,486 in April, 2010, and that
households consist, on average, of 2.82 persons. From building permits for new residential
units issued in 2010, this number is adjusted through December to a population of 20,179. This
adjusted population value is used in this 2011 Amendment as the basis for projecting growth
through the 20-year planning period.
Since the Hofman Study was implemented and Impact Fees collected, the City has been
diligent in park land acquisition and development. In 1999, the City had only 4.08 acres of
developed park land consisting of small
neighborhood or specialty parks of less than 1.5
acres each With the implementation of the park
impact fee, coupled with the donation or --r
purchase of land for parks, the City has h t "y

of park land and has secured additional land for f
development. A key component of park land
acquisition was obtaining a 99-year lease from
Ada County of 85 acres of land for regional park
development. Two community parks, Reid
Merrill Sr. Park and Guerber Park were also
developed in this period. Developed parks and

2011 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Both Lakemoor Park and Gateway South Park are identified park acreages within larger
development tracts that have received preliminary plat approval. At the present time this land
remains in private ownership. The Eagle Sport Park area is the undeveloped portion of the
leased Ada County property that has been conceptually planned for regional sports field
development for soccer and baseball. Since all the identified park land, developed and
undeveloped, lies in the eastern side of the City, a "western park" of a location yet to be
determined has been identified as a future need as the city expands westerly in accordance with
the Comprehensive Plan.
Planning for Park Development
In June, 2010, the City of Eagle Parks and Pathway Development Commission, acting at
direction of the City Council, undertook an additional role as the Development Impact Fee
Advisory Committee as required by Idaho Law.5 This Committee was charged to review land
use assumptions and prepare a Capital Improvement Plan for park development for the purpose
of updating the Impact Fee.6 The Committee prepared a formal Parks and Pathway Survey to
gather public input on use, needs and priorities for Eagle parks and pathways. Survey results
were gathered for two months and survey results were presented to City Council. A copy of the
survey results, including an assessment of current use' that was presented to the Council and
public, is included in the Exhibits.
As a result of their work and public input, the Committee recommended a number of capital
improvements for larger community or regional parks prioritized in accordance with the following
table. As noted above, Lakemoor and Gateway West represent park acreage identified in
current platting processes. As they represent significant community park areas that, when
developed, will meet the overall park needs of the public for the planning period, there were no
specific recommendations on smaller neighborhood parks or special use parks identified for this
Capital Improvement Plan update. Historically, as smaller tracts of land are developed, the City
has the opportunity to negotiate for neighborhood parks in strategic areas following the flow of
development.

acquisition opportunities with park development to achieve the goals of the Capital Improvement
Plan.

It. 2011 UPDATE AND AMENDMENTS
Probable Cost Basis
The Hofman Study identified mini-parks, neighborhood and community parks as having different
amenities and uses. For its purpose, the Hofman Study used an "average cost per acre" to
represent all types. In the 2004 Amendment, the actual cost of Reid Merrill Sr. Park and the
budget for Hill Road Park (Guerber Park) construction were used as representing average of
cost for the update impact fee calculation.
The Hofman Study stated that "The cost per . ..
acre to develop future parks depends on the ., ' '!
type of park constructed." For the purpose
of establishing an average park cost per r
acre, recently constructed parks composed ,
of various components were analyzed and
assigned a value-per-acre. When applied to x . . sr t
park construction, the result is an average 1., �s ..i `' „° l■
overall cost that recognizes features and '� r
.` - r.
cost of multiple components associated with - ! ---.--
park development. Existing parks may be IT �e. w_ 5 � ,
grouped by amenity packages as a) a low
capital investment recreation area b) a f.� � ,, ,,
moderate capital investment sports-field
dominant park with restrooms, some play ground equipment and picnic areas, c) a higher
capital-intensive park with sophisticated play equipment and picnic facilities, and d) a special
use or dedicated function park constructed around a particular use. Heritage Park and gazebo
or the partially completed Velodrome are examples of this category. As special use amenities
are often unique, they represent highly variable and often more expensive parks. For the
purpose of refinement of average cost for impact fees, these four cost categories have been
utilized in the current update.

Average Park Cost
Using cost information from the recently completed Reid Merrill Sr. Park (2004) and Guerber
Park (2008), various park components were broken out for estimating future park costs
attributable to primary park features. These were adjusted to current prices where comparable
information was available. The component cost data was divided by the footprint acreage to
derive a cost per acre for park components which may be applied to future construction. Each
known park or park site identified in Table 4, Recommended Capital Improvement Projects, was
viewed for applicability of cost though there was not a determination of actual site conditions for
such items as water table, irrigation water or utility availability, or other features that may impact
design and construction cost. More refined construction cost will be determined for budget
purposes when each future site has a completed concept plan that meets the approval of the
City. The cost associated with each park cost category is presented below.

Capital Improvement Plan Values
A cost per acre for park development was derived from a review of drawings, amenities and
budgets from Reid Merrill Sr. Park and from Guerber Park (aka: Hill Road Park). Developed
park area was divided into four general categories around the type and area requirements of
amenities. A restroom facility, for example, also includes the approach to the structure, utilities,
full perimeter access, and landscaping on a one-quarter acre site.

(1) Cost per acre includes all work elements to improve undeveloped land. These costs include
but are not limited to survey, design, utilities, earthmoving, irrigation, storm drainage, park
amenities, landscaping, parking and access, signage, and administration of construction.
They do not include land acquisition cost.
Capital improvement budgets for Eagle Sports Park and Lakemoor Park were based on
distributed amenities scaled from concept level drawings from previous developer or City
planning efforts. For Gateway South Park, the distribution of amenities was based on input from
the Parks and Pathway Committee and Public Works. The overall park acreage was assigned a
value for the types of amenities and cost of development per acre from the Eagle's history of
park cost. These cost parameters were applied to the Capital Improvement Projects
recommended by the Advisory Committee.

What will Eagle do with the survey results?
Our hearty thanks to all survey participants! The results will guide our development, on behalf of the citizens of
Eagle, of a multi-year plan for Eagle's parks and pathways. The plan will be drafted with input from Eagle City Staff.
We will present the plan to the Mayor and City Council at a public meeting for their earnest consideration. The
plan's implementation will be dependent on Council approval and available revenue.
Special thanks to the participants who signed up to be volunteers. You'll be hearing from us!
