3. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
4. ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Robert DeShazo shall be given the opportunity to present
a specific course of action and time line to bring code violations at 846 N. Eagle Road and 10255
Horseshoe Bend Road into compliance with Eagle City Code. This item was continued from the
August 27, 2002 meeting.
Mayor introduces the issue.
Darrel Farnsworth, representing Robert DeShazo and Eagle Water Company. What we have
accomplished is a game plan presented to the Council. Again, I would ask Council Member
Guerber to abstain as he has in the previous hearings.
Council Member Guerber: I will sit hear and listen and if I feel appropriately moved, I will
probably have something to say.
Farnsworth: Distributes copies of a Proposal to the City Council. Basically what you have in
front of you is a game plan that I have gotten from Mr. DeShazo. What we are trying to do is
take the site as a whole. The occupancy at the residence has changed and has become an
insurance policy case. We should have a settlement on November 1". We want to get that area
of the lot cleared, put a berm along North Horseshoe Bend road, landscape that,get the debris out
of there, clear and grub the site. On the North Eagle Road site there are materials there on the
south portion of that area that we need to use on the Horseshoe Bend Road site. If we can get the
house and the trailer and some accessory buildings,there is one shed that we need to keep for a
short period of time, there are other things that we need to clear out. Get the lot cleared and
grubbed, move the equipment on to that portion of the site,pave the area in front of the storage
building. We need a temporary occupancy permit for the storage building. Get some stuff
moved, take some stuff off that site and put it on another piece of property. Pave it,grade it,
weed it, landscape it,get the stuff out of there and get it cleaned up. Get the stuff off from North
Eagle Road. That is our intent. The bottom line, November 30`h. I think that is what the Council
is looking for.
I created the list of questions on the Proposal for City Council.
Merrill: Are these issues that you felt that the Council brought out at the previous meeting that
needs to be clarified.
Farnsworth: I did. I relied a lot on staff to help me. We understand what needs to be done. I
don't know the steps we need to take or the City needs to take but these are the things that we
need to accomplish in a timely manner to satisfy that Show Cause.
In addition to this, what we are asking, instead of just considering the back end of the lot as we
did at the first hearing, we thought the front was going to residences and it is not, we are going to
use the whole lot. So to do that we have to screen it from North Horseshoe Bend Road and use it
and create it reasonably acceptable.
Bastian: Assuming that what you are saying is in conformance with staff, is that assumption
correct that the proposal here is a cure for the conditions that were noticed in the original letter.
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: I believe this proposal increases the size of the site located
adjacent to Horseshoe Bend Road. I will need to prepare some documentation that would
supercede the previous approval because we would be dealing with an expanded site. For
Page 2
K\COUNCd\MINUTES\Temporary Mantes Work Area\CC-09-10-02mindoc
instance,a berm along Horseshoe Bend Road with landscaping, which Darrel has indicated they
can provide, would shield the site. I don't know when the site on Eagle Road will be cleaned or
positioned in what the City feels is in accordance with it's codes,I don't believe enough
documentation is provided here to satisfy your concem's regarding 846 N. Eagle Road. I think
this is a good general direction setter for cleaning the site at Horseshoe Bend Road. One of your
action letters and one of our staff reports goes through every single code section and outlines our
review of the site plan. I can imagine that at the end of November 301h when this is completed, if
we went in and looked at the site we would probably to find several things that did not comply
with Eagle City Code just by the nature of the way the site looks now. For instance, screening
from Highway 55. Does the City choose at this point to say that we will work on some kind of a
fence along there that is not necessarily a solid fence. I do believe there will need to be come
compromises.
Bastian: I'm thinking that what needs to be done is that this is a start and maybe staff could take
that and compare it to the original letter or revisit the site and indicate in greater detail specific
things that need to remedied and to have essential a punch list that needs to be done. Is this
something that staff needs to do or Eagle Water needs to prepare.
Mayor: I'm thinking that Staff needs to be working very closely with Darrel by taking this
document and creating a punch list that resolves our issues.
Sedlacek: We had originally split the site on Horseshoe Bend Road to be done in phase and now
you want to do it all as one. Does that make it a substantial change where we need to maybe take
the whole thing back and start fresh? Let's make sure that we are all on the same page as now
we are looking at the entire site all the way out to Horseshoe Bend Road. I don't think we have
heard on the house part of it.
Merrill: I think when they brought the plan in they had the whole site and then they cut it off
into the first phase.
Farnsworth: We did a lot split. The reason we did that was because at that time there were
people living in that residence so we wanted to save that and use that as a rental. The house was
destroyed so now there is no reason for the house to be there. We have encountered problems
with the insurance company. What our intentions are, there is a dead tree, an old trailer, some
fencing, there are some things that we need to clear out.
Sedlacek: It sounds like we are starting fresh again and I want to make sure we are all on the
page and what we expect you to have done by November 30th and now we are looking at that
additional area.
Bastian: I would propose that we have staff work with Eagle Water Company and come up with
a list of things that need to be dealt with in order to bring both properties in compliance with
Eagle City Code and report back at the next Council meeting. But in the meantime, accept this
proposal in good faith and ask that Eagle Water Company work towards this objective. This may
present problems if in fact we can't put a berm all along Horseshoe Bend Road because the
property has been divided. Is that going to be a problem?
Zoning Administrator Vaughan: When we have the opportunity to get together and go over
another review of the entire site and come up with a set of parameters or conditions out of the
Code for the development to work through by, that certainly we can formulate another list of
conditions of approval and a site plan for the development of the site. Then it's Mr. DeShazo's
willingness to follow those conditions of approval as they have already been set forth in the past.
We can sit down and go through the process again. We can expand the size of the site and
establish the area for the berm, landscaping and a place for the building and paving. But when it
Page 3
K:\COUNClL MINUTES\Temporary Mmures Work AreaCC-09-1042nuadoc
comes down to constructing these things and putting them into place I don't know what the time
frame would be. We are not talking about a larger site to be completed. Maybe the larger site
will provide them the room to complete these two sites.
Bastian: Do we have a process that needs to be different than coming back to the Council? Do
they need to go through Design Review.
Zoning Administrator Vaughn: Darrel and I have spoken about that and based upon all of the
information provided and approved by the City, I am going to read the Code on staff level
approval and see if through our meeting process I could do a staff level approval to increase the
size of the site. There is an application that needs to be reviewed.
Bastian moves to request Eagle Water to meet with staff and develop a more specific list
for compliance with Eagle City Code and come back before the Council at their meeting on
October 8,2002,and direct Eagle Water Company to do what they can in those parameters
to proceed with the clean up the Horseshoe Bend Road and Eagle Road Property.
Farnsworth: If we are going to that goal,I think that we have it in our game plan with our
workload. We just had a superintendent have a heart attack. What we need to do is work
toward that end result in hiring Eagle Landscaping to do what he is going to do,moving
some material.When we have a free day when we are not doing the regular Eagle Water
Company business that is what we intend to do. Use that time and equipment to this end.
In the past Mr.DeShazo threw up his hands and said I'm not going to do a thing because I
don't where I'm going. Now we know where we are going.
Sedlacek: We don't want you to do it when you just have time. We want you to make it a
priority. That is how we got to this point. I feel that Mr.DeShazo has been putting us off.
I'm not inclined to wait until he has a break in his schedule when he can do work. This
needs to be a priority because this is his business site and business yard. I would like to see
him make a little effort. The City has worked with him by giving him extensions. The note
says: Dates are based on the expected work load of Eagle Water Co.and their sub-
contractors and conversations with the utilities companies involved. I don't know if I'm
comfortable with that note.
We haven't had a second on the Motion; I will Second the motion for discussion. I would
make sure that we move forward on creating the landscaping plan. You need to work with
staff on the expansion of that land. The one thing that I will not accept is that I will do it
when I have time or if I can get someone to work on it. You may have to hire someone to
do the work. I'm looking for a drop dead date at the October 8th meeting to determine
what exactly will happen,when and how we can do it through the staff and at that point I
think the completion date that we anticipate that's going to happen and if that doesn't
happen then we pursue our suit. I think we need to move forward in a timely manner.

Mayor introduces the issue.
Merrill: Discusses the Cottonwood Creek pathway. At the last meeting we made a
determination that the pathway would be built with a 6' wide asphaltor concrete:and we
had a surety to do that. The applicant has agreed to put the pathway in and I would like to
make a clarification on this for Council's consideration.
Site Specific#9 reads: Include on the final plat a pedestrian easement to be located within
the sewer easement located on the common side lot line between lot 15 and 16,Block 1,an
easement shall be extended approximately 10' to join the northern property boundary line
of the subdivision to provide connectivity for a pathway upon future development of the
property to the north.
I would like to see eliminated is the next sentence: The applicant shall either construct a
minimum 6' wide asphalt or concrete path from Cottonwood Drive to the northern
boundary or provide a surety to be renewed annually and to the end.
I would like to replace that with: The applicant shall build a crushed cinder 6' wide
pathway to the emergency easement of the adjoining Streamside Subdivision and upon
approval of the Streamside shall complete the path on the Streamside property to connect
to the Streamside path.
This connects that pathway. The reason for the cinders is that it is going through the
wetland area. What we are looking for now is a connection from the Cottonwood Creek
Subdivision right on into Streamside. There is an emergency easement on Lot 43 which is
adjacent to Cottonwood. I have e-mailed and tried to speak to Mr. Selvage at Streamside
and I think he will be agreeable to allow this to happen. It is a better use of their property
and it will allow this pathway to connect.
I will make that a Motion. Seconded by Bastian. Discussion. ALL AYE: MOTION

is located between the Post Office and the City Library north of the east/west private lane
