EAGLE CITY COUNCIL
Minutes
June 26, 2001
PRE-COUNCIL AGENDA 6:30 p.m.- 7:30 p.m.
1. Ada County Sheriff's Office: Deputy Borgquist will present the monthly report for May.
Deputy Borgquist distributes the monthly report and discusses the same. General discussion.
Provides the City Council an update on the street light project he has been working on. General
discussion. The crinre rate in the area has dropped since residents have been leaving their
outdoor lights on. Over all the interest to install streetlights doesn't seem to be there. Council
concurs to delay action on this until nrore residents desire to have the lights installed. Deputy
Borgquist will contact the people on Harlan who would like to lights on their street and report
back to the Council.
2. Jim Birdsall will discuss the Mercy Housing project status. Jim provides the Council an
update on Eagle Village Housing project. We have resubmitted our application to HUD. We are
making progress on our new applications. Discusses funding options. General discussion.
Mercy Housing System owns the property now. A newsletter is distributed to the neighboring
residents to keep them updated on the project. A copy of the newsletter will be sent to City Hall.
Discussion on a water/well issue on Park Lane.
3. Vern Brewer with Holladay Engineering will give the final report on the ground water
monitoring that was done at the Eagle Public Library. Ground water is a contributing factor.
Surface water cannot find a place to go. Groundwater is excluded as the cause of standing
surface water. The engineering solution for the standing water is installing a drainpipe to be
attached to the existing drain line. It is our opinion that there are possibly some responsible
parties that would have to bear the cost of a new drainpipe. This is a design issue. The french
drains that were put in this area are not connected and do not drain anywhere. General
discussion. Council concurs to have the City Attorney look into this matter.
4. Mayor and Council's Report: Moved to the end of the Agenda

6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. AA-3-01 - Appeal of Zoning Administrator and Building Official's decision to require
the lowering of the entire roof of a residential building which exceeds the 35-foot maximum
height limitation - Oasis Construction: Oasis Construction, represented by Mark Butler with Land
Consultants Inc, is requesting City Council approval of an appeal of the Zoning Administrator and
Building Official's decision to require the lowering of the entire roof of a residential building
which exceeds the 35-foot maximum height limitation. The site is located 1233 W. Colchester
Drive within Banbury Meadows Subdivision. This item was continued from the June 5, 2001
meeting. (WEV)
Mayor introduces the issue.
Mike Mongelli, City Building Official, provides Council with a history of this problem. I have
had the opportunity to review the tapes from the last meeting. There is an 18% increase in the
floor area of the building. The Building Permit was revoked, not a stop work order. Overhead of
a comparison of the two buildings is displayed and discussed. General discussion.
Mark Butler, representing the owner of the home, a lot of the facts that Mike presented shows
that the Contractor is terrible. The issues are the height. Is there a legal way to take care of the
height. Provides Council with some history. We are trying to do everything we can to leave the
house. We are prepared to deal with it in any way that we have to deal with it.
Dick Phillips, 3065 S. Whitepost, Eagle, 1 don't want to get into a nasty discussion on height
issues. We've gone through the height issue and I thought everyone in the world understood it.
We feel bad the house is there and it's to high and doesn't work. Harvey Hoff, myself, as
developers, and the Architectural Review Committee do not like the height of the building that
exceeds the City requirements and the plans that were shown to us did not show a three story,
therefore there was not concerns about anyone exceeding the height. Our covenants are written
and go with the land and when a builder builds quite a few homes we feel that they are familiar
with what our covenants say. The regulations simply state that they shall comply with the set
backs and requirements of the City of Eagle. There are many things that aren't the way it was
presented, the height, third story, the windows and on and on and on. Harvey, I and the ARC are
not in favor of exceeding the 35' height. This house is not in compliance with the covenants and
the plans presented to the Architectural Committee are not the house that is being built.
City Attorney: I don't have anything else to add, I am in concurrence with the statements that
Mike Mongelli presented.
General Council discussion.
Sedlacek moves to deny AA-3-01 Appeal of Zoning Administrator and Building Official's
decision to require the lowering of the entire roof of a residential building which exceeds
the 35-foot maximum height limitation and that the home be brought into compliance.
Seconded by Merrill. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIES ......................
B. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for PP-10-00 - Arbor Ridge Subdivision -
Stacia Patterson: Stacia Patterson, represented by Mark Butler with Land Consultants Inc., is
requesting preliminary plat approval for Arbor Ridge Subdivision. The 52.3-acre, 149-1ot (143-
buildable) residential subdivision is located west of State Highway 55 generally north of Hill
Road. (WEV) This item was continued from the June 5, 2001 meeting.
Mayor introduces the issue.
City Attorney: Discusses the correspondence dated June 18, 2001, from Fredric V. Shoemaker in

RE: Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law for Arbor Ridge - PP -10-00 - City of
Eagle
Dear Fred and Eric:
We are in receipt of your letter dated June 18, 2001. The Eagle Zoning Administrator,
the City Engineer and I have reviewed your concerns. As you know, the City Council makes the
on regarding preliminary plat approvals. This letter includes our recommendations to the
Council to resolve the matters raised by you on behalf of your clients. As the City does not have
an ordinance allowing for reconsideration, we are constrained by the ruling in Arthur v.
Shoshone County, 133 Idaho 854 (Ct. App. 2000) and the information presented at the public
hearings and in the public record for this application, in reviewing your requests.
Site Specific Condition 7 - It is our opinion that the clarification requested for this
condition is unnecessary as Eagle City Code (ECC) 9-4-1-9(C) already provides the waiver
remedy sought by your Clients.
Site Specific Condition 11 - We do not recommend that the language be modified as your
proposed language appears to diminish the Design Review Board's discretion. The condition, as
presented by the City, properly charges the Design Review Board with review of the amenities
the developer proposes pursuant to ECC.
Site Specific Condition 19 - We disagree that there is a conflict between Standard
Condition 1 and Site Specific Condition 19 as the latter is more specific. The developer's
representative agreed with this condition at the public hearing and such change would be material
•JUN. -26' O1(TUE) 14:52 MOORE SMITH BUXTON
Arbor Ridge Findings

requiring at least another public hearing and possibly an amended application. The City received
public comment regarding all aspects of track impacts from this application. Accordingly,
acceptance of the language you proposed would require providing the public with an additional
opportunity to comment.
Site Specific Condition 20 - Development of a traffic plan that would place construction
traffic in the adjacent residential area would require at least a new public hearing. The City
Council received significant testimony regarding routing construction traffic away from existing
residences. Further, representatives of the developer verbally agreed to this condition, on the
public record, and stated they had negotiated such traffic rerouting with the Evans Subdivision
Homeowner's Association. The fact that the gravel operation and the Arbor Ridge development
have owners in common causes concern that the information presented to the City Council by the
developer now has changed. The City held three public hearings before the City Council in order
to address these and other issues. To now come back after the approval has been granted is
troublesome.
Site Specific Condition 21 - As you acknowledge, the area where the sidewalk is to be
placed is already set aside for public use. Accordingly, the eminent domain concerns raised by
Johnston v. Boise City, are inapplicable in this instance. Further, the developer's representatives
stated at the public hearing that after negotiating with the Evans Subdivision Homeowner's
Association, an agreement had been reached_ A document reflecting agreement between the
homeowner's association and the developer was presented to the City as part of the public record.
As the City bas no provision for reconsideration, a change this significant would require at least
another public hearing and possibly an amended application.
Site Specific Condition 22 - The striping required was the result of an agreement between
the developer and the homeowner's association as presented to the City Council at the public
hearings. (S. ge response to SSC 21 above). Further, we do not believe the liability, if any, would
be any different than for an attached sidewallc or any other development in the right-of-way of a
public street.
Site Specific Condition 23 - We not recommend modification of this condition.
Site Specific Condition 24 - We do not recommend modification of this condition.
Site SDecltc Condition 25 - As acknowledged in your June 18, 2001, letter, P&O and
Prime Earth have owners in common. The ongoing operation of the Prime Earth gravel
operation simultaneously with development of Arbor Ridge creates health and safety concerns
for the City. There exists an identifiable nexus between the two uses of the property by the two
related entities. Accordingly, we dispute the applicability of Sanchez v. City of Caldwell in this
instance, and recommend the condition not be modified.

comments please do not hesitate to contact me.
