Public hearing closed at 9:00 p.m.
City Attorney, Mona Mack asked for Council consideration to give
time to study which comprehensive plan should be applicable, since
the 1993 plan is pending approval. She also questioned the
validity in the application citing ECC 8-7-8.H, Resubmission of
Application, since this came before Council in August, 1992.
Moved by BLAIR and seconded by YZAGUIRRE to continue the matter
until the City has a legal opinion as to which Comprehensive Plan
to consider and other matters. To reschedule this issue until May

and conclusions as presented. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
ASHLAND ACRES (Continued from April 27, 1993)
Stan McHutchinson, City Engineer, outlined his letter of May 5,
1993 to the Council in which he inspected the site. The majority
of the site has ground slopes of less than 1% to over 10% closer to
the Farmers Union Canal. There is room to construct homes on these
lots, but recommends that no construction, including landscaping,
occur on the north and west of the top slope without prior
approval. No runoff should be allowed to drain towards the Canal.
He concluded that it may be better control to require additional
setbacks to the ridged area.
Discussion included considering less lots in the subdivision, or
more restrictive setbacks and only single story houses. The
Engineer for the developer advised the Council that they would
accept more restrictive setback requirements, and single story
homes.
Moved by EASON and seconded by BASTIAN to require minimum setbacks
for those lots by the rim to be a minimum of 30 ft and to require
lots 8, 9, 10, and 11 to be single story homes only and City of
Eagle Standard Conditions for subdivision approval. There will be
no pathway on the rim. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
ECC 9-5-3, Hillside Subdivisions is applicable and the City can
impose greater requirements.
1993 Eagle Comprehensive Plan (Continued from April 27, 1993)
A presentation about the proposed Comprehensive Plan was given by
MAYOR STEVE GUERBER, and a proposal for amendments to the Plan and
the Land Use Designation Map was presented to Council. (attached)
Moved by BASTIAN and seconded by YZAGUIRRE to approve the proposed
changes, presented tonight, for the Plan and the Map. ALL AYE:
MOTION CARRIED.
MUNICIPAL BOND ELECTION: Discussion took place regarding the
appraisal for Eagle Water Co. in order to set an election date. At
this time there is no basis for an appraisal as a report from Bob
DeShazo which was to be received by PUC in April has not been
received by PUC. We need to wait until we can adjust figures based
on that report. The appraisal needs to include an income stream
report and replacement cost to build new all existing systems, less
depreciation. Some improvements have not been contributed by
DeShazo. $700,000 to $900,000 is preliminarily a conservative
figure without the latest report.
Mona will speak to the appraiser and see what comfort level he has
without the report. It is understood that the Council's desire is
to set a date for the bond election. Not filing the report is a
violation of the law and the City cannot continue to wait to set a
value on the Company. If there is any way to get assurances from
the appraiser she will try, but he may not release the information.
Moved by EASON and seconded by BLAIR to continue this item until
May 25, 1993.
TRASH LICENSE RENEWAL:
Moved by BLAIR and seconded by YZAGUIRRE to approve the BFI Trash
License and Boise-Ada Trash License as presented. ALL AYE: MOTION
CARRIED.
ORDINANCES-RESOLUTIONS:
Moved by BASTIAN and seconded by YZAGUIRRE to adopt Ordinance 218,
a rezone ordinance for the First Service Group-Browning with an
amendment conditioned on the development agreement being executed.
ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
ANIMAL CONTROL CONTRACT: After discussion on the proposal from the
Idaho Humane Society, Inc., the Council that negotiations for
animal control in Eagle should begin. A motion was made by EASON
and seconded by BLAIR to order the City Clerk to outline a proposal
to be forwarded to the Idaho Humane Society as guidelines and bring
it back for Council review. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
Attorney report: Mona reported on the remanding of Redwood Creek
back to Council. She will get the court documents to the City.
She discussed the "pending" Comprehensive Plan in relationship to
the events of tonight and discussion took place regarding a
proposed code dealing with roads being built prior to the building
process beginning. Mona will review this issue and bring it back
for Council consideration.
Stan McHutchinson discussed the moving of the Eagle Statue to the
new Flag Plaza for the June 12 events. He also reviewed a proposal
to amend the conditions of subdivision approval for the location of
fire hydrants. He will talk to Dan Friend about it.
