Mayor opens the Public Hearing
Lee Swider, 7176 N. Spring Crest, in the interest of time I want to give my spot to Phil
Broadbent.
Phil Broadbent, 913 River Heights Drive, Meridian, north of this development. My development
is made up primarily of 5 acre lots. The developers have mainly worked with Fox Tail and not
the other subdivision. I am an attorney and have just moved to the area and I am pro-
development. I think this should be annexed into the City of Eagle. Owners have a right to
develop their property but I think the application before you is inappropriate. Discusses how he
feels the area should be developed. General discussion.
Larry Swider, 7176 Spring Crest Place,they have had no discussion with anyone in my
subdivision as far as I know. I'm very concerned about the impacts to our quality of life. What
is the purpose of the comprehensive plan? Why is there no mention of parks in this
development? I have been involved with West Valley Little League here in league and our fields
are the laughing stock of the valley. I urge you to slow down and think about this.
Scott Trosper, 7110 Spring Crest,we have been at this for a few years now. No one wants to talk
to us. We have tried to offer up a proposal but no one wants to talk to us. There is no reason for
them to compromise to our quality of life. Discussion on the comp plan. Discusses the access
onto Chinden. Discussion on transition.
Judith Erdman, 7283 Windward Drive, distributes a letter from Roger and Claudette Ottman to
the Council. I want to agree with what Phil and Lee have said. No one has ever come to me to
talk about this. Judith reads her testimony into the record. There is enough shopping in the area,
there is no need for this development.
Brian Schuman, 6620 N. Fox Run Avenue, I'm here representing Foxtail Homeowner's
Association, displays overheads, discussed the comp plan changes to these properties and
discusses the proposed development. Discusses the changes that they would be willing to accept.
Alan Hall, 1011 River Heights Drive, Meridian, my property is next to the golf course. My
concern is density. I don't consider myself as part of Eagle. I think most people think of this
area as Meridian not Eagle.
Mimi Plum, 854 River Heights Drive, Meridian, I am opposed to both developments because of
the density. I would ask the Mayor and City Council to consider the impact on the area.
Hal Bunderson, 582 River Heights Drive, Meridian, in the area of impact of Eagle but here
subject to one day being part of the community. I speak in favor of the applicants. We have
heard presentations on personal property rights. We saw a video that shows the gradual
shrinkage of Eagle's area of impact that has gone to Meridian. This land should be part of Eagle.
Terri Bath, Eagle Chamber of Commerce, reads a letter from the Board and the Economic
Development Committee into the record.
Dan Rozsa, 593 W. Gray Fox Court, discusses the development of the project. The developer
has worked with us. We support development in the area. Why expand the gateway? They are
Page 6
K.\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-I2-I5-09min.doc
not planning on developing for a few years. I have made a request for mediation and have given
a copy of the request to the City Attorney, Susan Buxton. Provides Council an overview of the
request for mediation.
Curtis Laser, Sugar Plum Avenue,I agree with most of what Phil said. We would be much better
served to have the area annexed by Eagle than Meridian. I like Capital Development and I think
they have done a really good job. My problem is the density. Discusses the berm.
Dennis Kelly, Carriage Lane, Boise, I know the applicants and I have been watching this process.
Discusses the history of the area he lives in by the Mall.
Council discusses whether or not rebuttal should be heard tonight.
Robert Banks,I appreciate the concern of finishing as early as possible. We have a concern
about the Holidays coming up and the other concern is the change that is going to take place in
Council.
City Attorney Buxton: addresses the issue of mediation and the issue of a new Council Member
being seated in January.
Don Knickrehm, Discusses the issue of mediation. I am going to argue that you shouldn't do the
mediation. Almost everything in this letter speaks to a legal issue and not suitable for mediation.
I am a certified mediator, so I understand mediation. Don provides some history on the
mediation request.
Dan Rozsa, our request is mediation with the Council not the applicant.
City Attorney Buxton: there are two requests for mediation. I did talk to Mr. Rozsa when I
received this. Discusses the mediation statute.
Phil Broadbent,the purpose was not to request mediation; it was to have you require continued
meetings. I'm not sure if mediation would be necessary at this point.
General Council discuss on hearing the rebuttal.
Huffaker moves to leave the public hearing open for the sole purpose of having those
discussions limited to any further conversation that occur between the applicant,the
neighbors and Staff and that we hear rebuttal on January 12,2010. Seconded by Semanko.
ALL AYES: MOTION CARRIES
Zoning Administrator Vaughn: discusses dates for special meetings in January.

development on Chinden and Foxtail area
As residents imediatelly adjacent to this proposed development we are OPPOSED.
The reasons:
1. This proposed project would result in decreased property value for
homeowners. This would hurt the local government in the short term with decreased tax
revenue, and will hurt homeowners in the future when properties are sold.
2. There is too great of contrast between large expensive homes and
proposed commercial development.
3. There is an inadequate buffer zone.
4. There is woefully inadequate road access for high traffic development.
Public officials have an obligation to respond to local opinion ---in contrast
to vested interests of the commercial non -local developers. Profits from this development
would not remain in local community.
Our large local tax burden requires that our voices be heard.
Remember lessons from our American history. Our forefathers revolted
because of "taxation without representation"
Our country is founded on the principle that public elected officials are
responsive to their electorate.

RE: CPA-07-08/A-05-08/RZ-11-08 Wilson Properties, LP. and Wilson Holding, LLC.
A-04-09 & RZ-04-09 — Capital Development, Inc.
Good evening, Mayor and Commissioners,
For the past 10 years my neighbors and I have been involved in all the public hearings that
would affect the area where we live, some of us having lived here for 35 years. There is not a
good turn out tonight because my neighbors are worn down and worn out. Time and time
again we were here for hours and hours, not paid for our time like some, and often very
discouraged. We all do care what happens in our back yards and have tried to help formulate
change that is right for the future.
What we all desire is that you have a greater vision for this area than what is being proposed.
At the Eagle City Council meeting last December parts of the Comprehensive Plan were brought
up again for the Council's attention:
--property rights must balance with the rights of neighbors
--maintain rural feel
--transition and feathering to the existing properties
It seems like these were the right words to write into the Plan, but does anyone really believe
those items are important?
If you read the letters in your files, you know all the reasons that we opposed the huge
commercial development on the corner (from the Compehensive Plan of 15 acres now up to
40 acres.) If you pass this Wilson Property request it will destroy the intent of Eagle's
Comprehensive Plan. Lynne Sedlacek was once quoted as saying, "Eagle didn't get to be what it
is today by letting developers establish what we want."
I believe that approving the commercial development on the corner of Chinden and Eagle
Roads was a mistake because not all the facts came out and the some of the ones that did were
downplayed. Now because there are problems with access to this property, the Wilson
property has been brought into the formula. To right this wrong the dynamics would become
worse for the road system and for the neighbors. It would be devastating that this beautiful
piece of Idaho would be forever destroyed to promote even more commercialism which is so
adamantly opposed by the neighbors.
PLEASE consider the beauty of this golf course property. The proponents for developing this
property keep talking about this whole corner being a "Gateway to Eagle." How many people
will say, "Wow, isn't this commercial area great for Eagle"? It will just be another congested,
noisy shopping center. Instead, l am asking you to purchase this property. Keep the golf course
and maybe even expand it...OR better yet, keep it as a park. Now that would truly make a
statement about Eagle! It would be a crime to destroy the mature trees, shrubs and ponds of
that property for commercial gain when it could be a blessing for many, many generations to
come.
Regarding Capital Development's request for annexation and rezone, I want to state that the
Yorgasons are first-class developers and I trust them to continue such high standards. My only
concern is with the rezone for Mixed Use and the fact that there would be only 1 -acre lots
adjacent to our 5+ acres rather than what was stated in the Comprehensive Plan of at least
2 -acre lots for transition.
People say that God and politics don't mix, but I believe they do so I am praying for each of you,
and specifically about these decisions that you will be making this evening.
Thik you for your time,

Dear Susan,
In our request for mediation concerning the re -zoning proposal under items CPA-07-08/A-05-
08/RZ-11-08 — Wilson Properties, LP and Wilson Holdings, LLC and A-04-09 & RZ-04-09
Capital Development, Inc in the Rim View Impact area we identified several items that we
wanted to include. In discussing this further with our board, we would like to provide a
modified list of items to be mediated. I make this request under Idaho Code 67-6510
MEDIATION, which allows affected persons to request mediation during any point of the
decision-making process.
1. Proper representation of the impact area. The process needs to be restarted because of
lack of representation, not only for the Wilson Properties and Capital Development
proposal, but also for the Eisenberg proposed development.
a. Due to the exclusion of Mr. Villegas, the impact area is not longer represented
as outlined in Idaho Code 67-6526, Areas of City Impact_ The Rim View
Impact Area needs to be represented in these matters as provided for by state
law.
b. It has also come to our attention, that Mr. Aizpitarte has a conflict of interest in
this matter and should also be excluded from the process
c. In our research, we have also discovered that the Area of Impact was not
represented in the Eisenberg proposal either. The above individuals should
have been excluded from this process due to conflicts of interest.
2. Improper Representation: It appears that Members of the Chamber of Commerce are
signing people in that are not in attendance. This has affected the City Council votes.
(City Council members have commented that it looks like the public is split on various
matters. Signing people in who are not in attendance deliberately misleads the city
council . )
3. Cooperation with developers: While we have made significant progress, there are still
significant items that need to be resolved.
4. City of Eagle
a. The City of Eagle has not worked in good faith in representing the needs of the
Rim View Impact area. The Rim View neighborhoods supported increased
commercial development in the Rim View Impact Area if the City of Eagle
Planning and Zoning and City Councils would limit that development as
outlined in the Eagle comprehensive plan from 2006. These commitments
have been completely ignored.
b. Idaho Code 67-6510 Mediation states that "During mediation, any time
limitation relevant to the application shall be tolled." It is my understanding
that since Mayor Bandy as agreed to the meditation, the proposal process needs
to be tolled until the mediation is complete or the parties are notified that
mediation is no longer necessary. According to this code, the Wilson
Properties and Capital Development proposals should not be eligible for the
City Council agenda until after this mediation issue is resolved.
c. Both Capital Development and Wilson Properties have mentioned they have
been working with the City Council and that the City will "give them whatever
they want so they can access the corner of Chinden and Linder. Wilson
representatives have also claimed this in previous hearings. According to the
City Attorney, this not only represents a conflict of interest but it is illegal.
As mentioned in my previous e-mail, we are scheduling a neighborhood meeting to discuss
our request for mediation and available dates for us to meet with the parties involved.

Eagle City Council Members
660 Civic Way
Eagle, ID 83616
Dear Mayor Bandy & City Council Members,
She Litt with more
right outside your door.
Bob Banks, representing Capital Development and Wilson Properties made a
presentation to the Eagle Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee
regarding the potential development of the NEC of Linder and Chinden for annexation &
zoning request. At this presentation the Eagle Chamber of Commerce Economic
Development committee was asked to endorse this project. A vote was taken and
unanimously passed in favor of supporting the proposed development.
At this time we are requesting approval of this project for the following reasons:
1. This is a great opportunity for Eagle to improve in strategic growth by allowing
for the expansion of Eagle City limits, creating jobs for the citizens of Eagle,
and as a tax base for a sustainable and financially stable budget.
2. The opportunity to lock down the Southwest entrance into Eagle. This
strengthens the ,"Gateways" into our community. Eagle is being encroached
on by the City of Meridian as they grow north. Meridian has already jumped
north of Chinden and annexed the northwest corner of Chinden and Linder
and extends west all the way to BlackCat. It is of the upmost importance that
Eagle retains the North East quadrant.
3. The sustainability of this project is based upon current and future surrounding
area communities' residential population trade area. The key word here is
future growth because as the valley continues to grow into the future this area
will become an integral part of a much needed commercial marketplace.
4. Chinden Boulevard is being designated by most of the planning organizations
around the Boise Valley as a major arterial carrying a large amount of traffic.
When considering approval or disapproval, of the proposed development, some
thought may be weighed on the benefits of this development gaining approval in the

1. Taxes into the coffers of Eagle
2. Design based on Eagle design standards
3. Voice on Traffic councils i.e. ITD and ACHD for the Chinden corridor
4. Convenience for the citizens for all the surrounding neighbors
5. Less congestion on Eagle Road
6. Less air pollution keeping the Boise Valley out of non -attainment
Keep in mind the Fox Tail Golf course is already designated for expansion in the
City of Meridian, consequently, this consortium can potentially move the project and any
of the remaining three corners of the quadrant for annexation to the City of Meridian.
This development, in the chambers opinion, WILL happen, it is just a matter of whether
it happens in Eagle or happens in Meridian. If the project moves to Meridian, Eagle will
inherit any potential consequences of a project of this magnitude with no means of
control or abilities to pay for any of the issues which may arise from a development of
this significance. For all the reasons mentioned above the Eagle Economic
Development Committee and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors are
requesting the Mayor and Eagle City Council to move this project forward and give
approvals to these landowners.
Keep in mind, as this project moves forward the amount of residential and commercial
development will not materialize overnight and instantly produce all the components of
this development. Customer counts and traffic flow will grow as the development grows
over time.
Thank you for your time and consideration for this project.
Sincerely,
96da
