A. A-1-00/ZOA-1-00 - New Zoning Designations For Land Planned To Be Annexed
and Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments (Including, but not limited to
amendments to the current zoning Map) - City Of Eagle:
The City of Eagle, represented by Mark L. Butler, is proposing:
1. New zoning designations for land the City intends to annex into the Eagle City limits
generally as shown on the map on file at Eagle City Hall.
Among the proposed zoning designations the City is considering a Development
Agreement for a parcel of land located on the south side of State Highway 44, east of
Park Lane extended. The property is currently zoned RT (Rural Transitional) in Ada
County; the proposed zoning is MU-DA (Mixed use with a Development Agreement) to
develop a mixed use project with uses such as production and packaging, cottage style
shops, showrooms, offices, cafeterias, trucking access/storage/delivery areas, arboretums,
greenhouses, art galleries, tea rooms and conservatories, cottage style living units, bed
and breakfast accommodations, amphitheaters, natural open space areas, pedestrian
nature pathways, garden areas and other similar uses (a concept plan "Exhibit A" is on
file at Eagle City hall).
2. Also, in accordance with the Eagle 2000 Comprehensive Plan, the City of Eagle
proposes: to further define industrial uses within the M-i "Light Industrial District" and
M-2 "Heavy Industrial District"; to change the "Industrial Park District" designation to a
"Business Park" designation; to make zoning designation changes (within the Eagle City
limits) to the official zoning map generally as shown on the map reduction included with
this notice (a full size map is located at Eagle City Hall); to modify the Schedule of
District Use Regulations to change the M-lA zoning designation to BP zoning
designation; and to modify the Schedule of Building Height and Lot Area Regulations to
change the M-1A zoning designation to BP zoning designation.
Mayor introduces the issue.
Butler: Discusses what the public can testify to in the Public Heating. Displays
overheads in regards to changes in the zoning and discusses the same. Provides a brief
history of the proposed annexation and displays overheads of the proposed armexation
areas. General discussion. Displays on overhead of Eagle Annexation Comparison on

into the record.
Mayor swears in Cliff Fivecoat.
CliffFivecoat, 10981 Horseshoe Bend Road. At the present time my property is not
being annexed. I would urge you to concentrate your efforts downtown. I think all of the
people affected by this should be able to vote on annexation.
Mayor swears in Dewain Glubay
Dewain Glubay, 500 Renee. I would like to thank Mr. Butler on the good job of putting
this annexation together. Points out where his property is located on the overhead. Mr.
Butler has since pulled me out of the annexation. My property is landlocked. My only
access is through private property. This property has been farmed since the 30's and I
will continue to farm until the neighboring property is annexed. I think annexation
should be by invitation.
Mayor swears in Paul Barrutia
Paul Barmtia, 10711 Horseshoe Bend Road. Currently I am not being annexed. Points
out his property location on the overhead. Identifies three parcels of property that he
believes are over 5 acres.

Jerry Molenaar, 10845 Horseshoe Bend Road. I am one of the parcels of property that is
scheduled to be armexed. If you calculate my legal description it would be 5 acres.
Points out his property location on the overhead. I pulled the Ada County assessments
and this report shows some discrepancies in the acreage on some of the parcels.
Mayor swears in Murray Feldman
Murray Feldman, 101 S. Capitol Blvd. I am here tonight in behalfofWinCo Foods
Company. The parcel of property that WinCo is interested in is already in the City limits.
If possible WinCo would like to see their parcel of property that was zoned C2 would
remain a C2 designation. WinCo would like to maintain the flexibility so they can pursue
their project as planned. General discussion.
Jerry Molenaar, I do not want to be annexed and the properties along mine should not be
annexed.
Mayor swears in Angela Deckers
Angela Deckers, 2249 Dickie Circle. Distributes a letter to the Council. I would like to
address tonight the Prime Earth parcels of property. I am the President of the
Homeowner's Association. The Homeowner's Association opposes the R3 zoning
designation. Our neighborhood supports the development of the surrounding area as long
as it is the same as the surrounding area. Discusses having a Development Agreement
for this property. General discussion.
Mayor swears in David Vail
David Vail, 7448 Windward, Meridian. I would like to refer you to the petitions that
were previously submitted. We are opposed to being annexed. Council should consider
filling in space in between before considering annexation of our subdivision. We are in
the Southwest comer of your impact area. General discussion.
Mayor swears in Ron Strang
Ron Strang, 143 Clearview Drive, Meridian. I live in the same area as Mr. Vail and I
agree to what he testified. Most of the acreage in our subdivision is 5 acres. I think you
should think about filling in some space in between, we are the in the Southwest comer of
your area of impact.
Mayor swears in Farrell Ferguison.
Farrell Ferguison, 10753 Horseshoe Bend Road. I'm in the same are as Mr. Fivecoat and
Mr. Molenaar. I didn't buy way out in the country to be brought into the City. I would
like to have a vote on whether I'm annexed or not. I've done a lot for the community but I
don't want to be in the City. If Boise tries to take me in I will be done here before you. I
would rather be in Eagle than the City of Boise.
Mayor swears in Chris Korte.
Chris Korte, 449 Main Street, Boise, I'm here representing Camille Beckman. You know
