Mayor: Mayor and Council Reports, Stan, do you have a report?
SB: Nothing specific to report, no, I don't.
Mayor: Naomi?
NP: I do. First of all, I attended the Library Summer Reading Program celebration recently
and I was pleasantly surprised. Is Steve here? No. It was a huge event. It took up the
complete park and some of the inside, and kids got to pick a free book. And then outside
there was everything from a dunk tank, to beading, to Legos, all kinds of fun things. And
I think I heard Steve say that they had about 500 folks there and it was kind of like Eagle
Fun Days for the little kid crowd. It was really cool. You know, we're always talking
about how Eagle population skews older and this was nice to see a snapshot of the
younger crowd -- parents with kids. It was really, really cool. So, I highly recommend
next year anybody that's around to go because you'll really see a lot of folks. I was
pleasantly surprised. It was beyond my expectations.
Mayor: Good.
NP: Do you want me to talk about that pond thing or not?
Mayor: You can.
NP: Okay. Recently I was approached by two Fish and Game folks, one, Art Butts, who's the
Southwest Regional Fishery Biologist for Idaho Fish and Game and Evan O'Neal who's
the Regional Conservation Educator, and, Mike, you were on vacation so I'll just let you
know what we talked about. They brought me up to speed on the pond that's adjacent to
Merrill Park, which has been stocked with trout since '03. In their words, it's quite a gem
of a pond because it's deep and it has cold water therefore it can be stocked with trout.
As I think lots of folks are aware that the agreement with the developer across the way --
they actually own the pond -- the agreement stated that the City could have a couple of
platforms where fishing would be encouraged, spoke to Nancy Merrill a little about this
and she said the idea of the platform was to enable handicapped kids and adults to be
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 2 of 52
able to fish there. The problem is with these platforms, at least the major one, is it is too
far away from the water to make fishing possible. So their feeling was they know that the
developer hasn't been interested in letting the City develop this a little more for fishing,
but they were wondering if it was worth another try. They had let me know that -- are you
wanting me to move faster?
Mayor: No.
NP: Okay.
Mayor: Just keeping the beat.
NP: You're just keeping the time, okay. Just don't turn on the red light, okay?
Mayor: Okay.
NP: Anyway, they had indicated that at one point when they had met with the developer he
had indicated perhaps a willingness to indeed go a little further in terms of letting the City
do a little bit more so, I don't know if you were involved in that, Mike, or if that was
something just in the past. And they had spoken to some of the folks beneath this guy at
the company and they were kind of excited about it and then it all just kind of --
SB: Fizzled?
NP: Disappeared -- fizzled, yes, exactly. So, I know this is in Mike's court, but they did come
to me and said this is a real gem of a pond and I guess it's up to City Council and the
Mayor to decide do we want a fishing pond in Eagle? Are we willing to do anything to try
to get a little more use out of that? I did go down there and there are some little
pathways down by the water so people are fishing. I think the developer has chosen to
turn a blind eye with it not being developed so, I just bring it as an issue and the powers
that be will need to see what we think about it but according to these Fish and Game
guys this really is a gem so it would be a shame if we couldn't utilize it in some fashion.
And they've been stocking it since '03 they said, stocking it with fish is pretty expensive
and if we don't think there's going to be much use then they'd just as soon stop stocking
it, but it is evident that people are fishing there at some level. And that's it for me.
SB: A question? Maybe Bill remembers. The developer is Charles something, isn't he from
Phoenix?
BV: Chuck Carlise (phonetic), yes. (Inaudible).
SB: Carlise, yeah.
BV: (Inaudible).
SB: Yeah.
BV: And John Schwartz (phonetic) is the local property manager.
UnkM: All right.
SB: So, if we get a hold of Chuck Carlise or the project manager that would be where we
should go with it.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting

NP: They've had discussions with them and they just felt like they didn't have enough clout to
maybe help something happen so, they were just wondering if the City were so inclined
we could involve ourselves in some kind of discussion.
JK: Were there any terms or conditions of approval that stipulated that the City had the right
to put those platforms in? Is it separate --
NP: It's in the agreement. I've read the agreement and Mr. Vaughan has read the agreement.
It talks about the two platforms. It kind of says discourage or encourage people to fish
from those platforms, I believe. It doesn't say no fishing off the platform, but it
encourages fishing on the platform. Is that how you read it, Bill? I could pull it up if --
BV: I read it a little more definitive as it related to they only wanted fishing from the platforms.
And I recall the --
NP: They either used the discouraged or encouraged word, so. I was surprised when I read it
that it wasn't more definitive, but.
JK: But the point is, is we have a legally binding agreement or term that would allow us to
insist on those platforms is that what I'm hearing?
NP: We do. We do.
Mayor: Part of the issue with the platforms is the platforms are on City property.
JK: Yeah.
Mayor: And the lake is on their property and Mike can weigh in, but I think it's virtually impossible
to fish from those platforms and they were designated as platforms for people with
disabilities, I think, or kids, so it's like you can't get there.
JK: Well, the concern I would have, though, is if that if they're now saying if you don't do
something with the platforms or people aren't interested in fishing we would discourage
the use or they want to destock or quit stocking the pond altogether, correct? Didn't I
hear you say that?
NP: Right. If you want me to read the verbiage I've got it right here. Do you want me to read
this?
Mayor: Let me --
NP: Or not?
Mayor: See if I can --
NP: Okay.
Mayor: So, in the Development Agreement, the City was not allowed to fish from the bank of the
pond.
NP: Can I read what it says?
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 4 of 52
Mayor: But they did --
NP: Okay.
Mayor: Allow us to have a platform that can be used for fishing so, a few months ago or a year
ago sometime Mike Aho and the Fly -Fishing Association and I don't know if a Fish and
Game person was involved went to the LLC and said can we improve the trails, can we
allow fishing, can we build a dock? The fly-fishing group would agree to do it and the
LLC said no. We have turned a blind eye to people fishing there, but we're not giving
permission for people to fish there. So, the fly-fishing group, as I understand it, went
down to Boise or Garden City and built a fishing platform so in order for us to get back
involved I think we need to -- this is the right conversation. We need to see if the Fish
and Game people think that they don't have the horsepower then maybe we need to
have a meeting with the LLC and see if there's anything we can do, but Naomi has
something she wants to read.
NP: Oh, I was just read Grant of Easement; subject to the terms and conditions of this
agreement, the declaration, and the drainage easement Eagle River hereby grants the
City a non-exclusive right to do the following on, under, over, across, and through the
easement area as shown in Exhibit A. Expand the pond currently existing on the Eagle
River parcel through a portion of the City parcel. Construct improvements defined in
Section 3 adjacent to the pond for access to the pond for viewing and fishing purposes;
but which discourage access to the pond other than over the viewing platforms.
SB: So, the word discourage, but doesn't eliminate.
NP: Exactly. I was surprised to read that word instead of --
JK: But more to the point, it says discourage access to the ponds. It doesn't say anything
about fishing per se does it?
NP: Right. It says, but which discourage access to the pond other than over the viewing
platforms.
JK: Right.
NP: One --
SB: But not prohibit.
NP: One of the things -- I talked to Nancy Merrill about this because I realized she was Mayor
when this whole thing happened and she suggested it would be up to the Mayor and
Council obviously, that if we did have some negotiations with them perhaps we could
offer to take over maintenance of the pond. Obviously, that's an expense and I wouldn't
even bring it to the table if it was just a run of the mill pond, but according to the Fish and
Game guys this is a real gem and they would sure like to see it be a great kids' fishing
hole in Eagle, so. I mean, it may be that we can't do that but they're kind of making this
last ditch effort to make a plea and say hey, this is a real gem, is there anything we can
do, so. It sounds like a lot's already been done, but perhaps with the right leverage
maybe we can make it happen. I mean, it's right there at the park so it doesn't get any
better than that to have access, and parking, and anyway.
SB: I know Chuck Carlise and I think a personal contact with him might be able to initiate
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 5 of 52
some follow-up. I could give him a call.
JK: Did Aho want to say something?
MA: No. I'm just turning this off.
NP: Oh.
Mayor: And with all of that, we as a City and the City Council we need to decide do we want to
take over the expense of maintaining a private pond and furnish a fishing hole for our kids
and it comes back to budget issue, and a management issue for staff, and getting up to
speed on managing those things and monitoring those so, it is a larger discussion. It's
kind of like that developer who wanted us to take over that catchment pond and maintain
it for their development. It's one of those issues. I wish we could buy the lake if we were
going to have a lake, but I don't know.
NP: And maybe we could.
SB: Well, maybe the group would allow fishing and they still maintain the pond and if you
have too aggressive fishing and you got a lot of people down there, and there's dozens of
people all the time that would be too much.
Mayor: Yeah.
NP: It's obvious why they don't want fishing because their office buildings are right there and
there's liability issues and then people running around the pond, and I agree, we don't
want to overfish it, and I don't think that's Fish and Game's idea at all. I think they just
want it to have a little better access and wouldn't it be cool if a handicapped person could
fish from there, so.
Mayor: If we wanted to pursue this we could have a couple of Council Members and maybe Bill
and Mike meet with the owners and see what the real issue is.
JK: Or maybe we ought to start with a one-on-one contact like Councilman Bastian --
NP: Uh-huh.
JK: Recommended.
SB: I can call Chuck and --
Mayor: Okay.
SB: I think. It's been a while. There were times when Chuck was very supportive of my
candidacy with the State Legislature and for City Council and I've kind of lost that contact
as of late so, I don't know what my standing is with him, but.
Mayor: Okay.
NP: Set the bait out there.
SB: There you go.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 6 of 52
Mayor: Yeah. Okay.
NP: That's it for me.
Mayor: Thanks. Jeff?
JK: ACHD did meet weekly. It was a very short meeting. Naomi and I also attended a
Chamber function last week on Tuesday?
NP: Correct.
JK: And there were 15 businesses. I'm sorry, I forgot the title of it.
NP: It was a Business Expo.
JK: Excuse me. It was a Business Expo.
NP: Business Expo and you're right I think there were about 15 businesses.
JK: Yeah.
NP: It was pretty well attended.
JK: Yes, it was and it was very interesting. And so, I just wanted to mention and say thank
you to the Chamber for hosting that. It was well attended in the several hours that I was
there and so it was very worthwhile, very informative as well. That's all I have.
SB: I was going to attend, it but I got (inaudible).
CS: I don't have anything. I (inaudible) don't have anything.
Mayor: Okay. Well, I was contacted by a member of the Chamber who does the ribbon cutting
ceremony and asking us to attend more of those, and I had suggested we were getting
the notices like the day of or --
NP: Uh-huh.
Mayor: Whatever and asked that if we could get those further in advance because a lot of us are
busy on certain times, but the next ribbon cutting ceremony I won't be here. It's
September the 15th and it is -- let me think what that is. It's a new -- well, I can't think of
the business now, but there is one on the 15th if someone or everyone wanted to attend
that would --
NP: What time is that --
Mayor: That would be --
NP: Do you recall?
Mayor: They usually have them around 5:30 something like that.
NP: Okay.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 7 of 52
Mayor: Right after work.
JK: I will plan to attend that one.
Mayor: Okay. Maybe in a few minutes the name of the business will come to mind, but it seems
maybe the Chamber membership's growing a little bit so that's a positive thing. I think
Naomi joined again --
NP: I rejoined.
Mayor: So that's good. I don't have any word yet from Ada County. I think they might make a
decision on our request this week. We'll kind of see where that goes. They did tell me
that they are not interested in entering into a lease agreement with the City of Eagle
because of past experience, but they are interested in maybe selling us 10 or 12 acres of
property that would be a good deal for us and they are interested in the bathrooms and
participating in that and they are pretty sure that granting us access for our new storage
facility off their road, but they needed to vet those with their attorneys and they'll let us
know something pretty soon. So, it was a pretty positive meeting from that standpoint
although there was some discussion that wasn't very pleasant, but overall, I think it's
okay. And --
JK: 1 have one more item.
Mayor: Oh, Jeff.
JK: I'm sorry, but I failed to mention something very important. Last week was Editor Frank
Thomasons' last week as the editor of the Valley Times. It is now officially shifted to
Melissa Upton and her team. The edition this week is the first edition under the new
management and on the very front page there is a thank you and a photo of Frank
Thomason, and along with a brief article. There are some copies out here on the Eagle's
Council foyer if you're interested, but I just wanted to say congratulations to Mr.
Thomason and his recent -- and Polly Peterson on their recent retirement and to Melissa
Upton and her new team at the Valley Times.
Mayor: Sharon, our budget was published in there. Will we have to republish that because some
of the numbers were cut off, or do you think that will work?
C: I don't know Mayor. I'll have to look at that.
Mayor: Okay.
C: It was the Appropriation Ordinance that was published. I have no idea why they
published it the way they did, but I'll take a look at it.
Mayor: Okay. Thank you. Any Staff Reports? Oh, I do have one other thing. Steve Nash, you
guys all know that Steve's been working on this Purple Heart designation parking place
and Steve has everything under control. He would like to designate the parking place
right by the handicap parking out front and right across from our Fallen Soldier Memorial
and we can pass this around, but he has the sign, he's done the legwork, and would like
to paint that parking place and designate it, and then have a ceremony to have the
Wounded Warriors here to look at it. So, if you guys don't have an objection we'll have
Steve work with Mike and get the parking place designated and painted and there's
another article here about it in some other cities that had done that so I really thank Steve
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 8 of 52
for getting that all together.
JK: Thank you, Steve.
Mayor: And I don't have anything else so how about Staff Reports.
MA: Mayor, Council, just a couple of short things, quick things here. The Activity Guide just
came today to us from the printer. I have copies here for you and it will be mailed
sometime this week to all the households in Eagle and I wanted just to compliment Catlin
Straubinger for doing this, she's a marvelous addition to the staff and she did a great job
putting this together, fun to see all the activities that we have. It also includes some of
our special events coming up and I wanted to talk briefly on those. The Night Market
which will be starting September 8th. We'll have a Night Market this Thursday coming up
with the Gazebo Concert Series which we've always had and that Night Market and the
Gazebo Concert Series starts at six o'clock at Heritage Park. The Night Market in
September, which will be every Thursday night in September starts at five o'clock and
ends at nine o'clock so, we'll have a Night Market through September as well, and that's
just kind of a test to see how that Night Market might work, how the vendors respond,
how the public responds, and I think it's just going to be a wonderful addition to the
community and so we're looking forward to doing that, so those three things, the guide,
the Gazebo Concert Series this Thursday at six o'clock, and the Night Market starting in
September.
JK: Mr. Mayor? Director Aho, is there any word on how the Eagle High School Homecoming
Block Party is progressing?
MA: We have an application in from them -- a event application. We are now waiting on their
insurance so we need to have that insurance policy from them for that event so that's
where we're at at this moment in time.
JK: Does it look like it's going to be doable at Heritage Park versus having to relocate it to the
high school?
MA: It is from our point of view as long as we have that insurance in hand.
JK: Okay. Thank you.
MA: And as a side note on that, when we were discussing that event earlier I failed to
remember that we were having a Thursday Night Market on that Thursday night as well
so we're going to have an additional component to the homecoming event that Eagle
High School's doing. We'll have the market going on at the same time and we're trying to
coordinate all that. It's a lot more work than I thought it was going to be because of our
market, but we'll make it happen.
NP: It should be quite an event.
MA: It should be.
NP: I mean --
MA: Yeah. It --
NP: It could be bigger and better.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 9 of 52
MA: Yeah. It should be a good event. There's just some coordination on our part that we
make sure it happens. Yep.
Mayor: I guess the only issue is that Thursday Market shouldn't have any alcohol because it's a -
MA: Yeah, we --
Mayor: High school event and --
MA: We're working through that.
Mayor: And although, we had talked about no road closures we might have to do some road
closure on 2nd Avenue to be able to accommodate the market and that at the same time.
So, but we won't be closing Eagle Road and we won't be closing State Street so both of
those together creates congestion because it's limited space there so we're probably
going to have to use 2nd Avenue for the market, so.
MA: Yeah. And at this point it looks like North 2nd Avenue only. We talked to ACHD. South
of 2nd Avenue causes a conflict with traffic flow. We would actually have to do some
serious signage out on Eagle Road for detouring and that cost gets prohibitive so we'll be
doing probably the north of 2nd and trying to figure out how else to fit everything in. I think
we'll be able to do it. It's just a different challenge.
Mayor: And a as side note, ABC Seamless Siding has volunteered their parking lot for any of our
markets and if we need it people can walk down the alley and use their area too so, that
might help if we need it.
MA: Right.
NP: I have a question --
Mayor: Yeah.
NP: For director. So, I had a couple vendors just mention to me -- from the Saturday Market -
- we haven't met for a while. I'm the liaison with that, but they also mentioned and I know
Jenessa's been super, super busy, but we never did get a poster out for the Saturday
Market so, I was just wondering -- I mean, it's August and the market started several
months ago, so. I understand that we're testing an evening market, but I just want to
make sure that the Saturday Market gets what they need as well, so.
MA: Sure. Yes and we did put up the street banners and those have been up all year on the
light poles all over town that say Saturday Market and then we do every week we put up
a banner on the fence line there at Heritage Park, a large yellow, black lettering banner
every week we put that up there.
NP: Absolutely, yeah. Those are --
MA: (Inaudible).
NP: Very visible. It just that --
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 10 of 52
MA: (Inaudible).
NP: You know --
MA: So, no, we did not do a poster this year.
NP: A poster was promised and, I mean, it goes up in businesses and lots of events get
publicized with posters so, I just want to make sure we're giving the Saturday Market
everything that we said we would, so.
Mayor: Any other questions? Thanks Mike.
UnkM: Thank you.
Mayor: Bill.
BV: I have, I think, just three things. Just first, an update on the annexation process for the
area along the Boise River between Island Woods and Merrill Park where we were
having the hunting issue. We have to conduct a neighborhood meeting as the Code
doesn't differentiate between a city -initiated application and a developer or applicant
initiated -application so, we will be conducting the neighborhood meeting on August 30tH
here. And then and once that's complete we will proceed with the Planning and Zoning
Commission Meeting on that annexation and rezone. The zone -- well, something that
we hadn't discussed before was what would be an appropriate zone to classify that
property as, and it's my suggestion, and that's what we put in the Neighborhood Public
Meeting Notice, that Public -- PS, Public/Semi-Public would be a appropriate zone for
that area. And then it'll go to the Planning and Zoning Commission in September and
then likely to the City Council at the first meeting in November and I had emailed that
timeline to Chief Calley. He was okay with that timeline as that is in advance of the
hunting season for ducks and geese primarily and then was working with Mike Aho on
being ahead of the curve in the creation of signs to post along that area indicating what
the ordinance is, and the ordinance is already on the books with regard to the
disallowance of discharge of a firearm within the City Limits. We just have to make that
be in the City Limits. So, everything is scheduled to make it to where this hunting season
isn't a problem for the residents in that area. Secondly, a question Council Member
Bastian had asked about the -- and maybe you all were talking about that earlier, the
draining swales along State Street that just a little bit further to the east on out to State
Highway 55. When ACHD completed the -- it was called The Academy to Edgewood
Sidewalk Project. They put some curbs and then the drainage swales and adjacent to
the roadway and put river rock in as the aesthetic or well, it is an aesthetic issue, maybe
a poor one, for the bottom of the drainage basins. As development occurs along that
corridor you will see the staff making recommendations on those Design Review
applications to change those rocks to sod, and the last one that we saw, the Westside
Body Works application, there was in fact a condition of approval and a revised
landscape plan submitted showing that area changing to the streetscape that's required
along that portion of State Street, which is street trees every 35 feet and sod. So, we will
hopefully see those change out over time as property develops. And then, thirdly,
Council Member Preston, would you like to talk about the signage? The downtown
wayfinding signage project at all as it relates to any information on it?
NP: Yeah, I don't think so.
BV: Okay. That's fine. Just wanted to --
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 11 of 52
NP: We'll just --
BV: Make myself available for that and --
NP: Thank you.
BV: I think those were the main things. I have a few other items to discuss with you, but
those are relevant to items on the agenda this evening so I will address those later. And
with that do you have any questions for me?
SB: Mr. Mayor, a comment I'd like to make. I don't know if it's river rock or what, big rocks,
along there -- cobblestones I suppose. Really was at variance with the kind of aesthetics
we would like along State Street and the Council at that time was not encouraging the
property owners or ACHD to put in landscaping with trees and the ability to put water in
that area. So, as development comes along I would like to see us require the developers
to put in the sod, and the grass, and the trees, and the Design Review Board, I guess, did
require that and I'm glad because that was a question I was going to bring tonight as that
sat before us what they had planned to do there, but thanks for the update.
BV: Thank you.
SB: I'd like to see that continue.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
JK: Administrator Vaughan, is there any status update with respect to the Laguna Pointe trail
and fence?
SB: I can give you a status update because I ride it almost daily, if you'd like to know that.
JK: The fence is in?
SB: The fence is in.
JK: Okay.
SB: The metal posts, they have put a wooden post in front of the metal posts. They didn't
take the metal posts out. And where they have the corner posts those are wooden posts.
And the fence is a plain wire fence. I consider it a great improvement over what was
there and I don't think there's much danger of people injuring themselves if they have a
spill and go up against the fence.
JK: So, the fence has been moved back in those places where it needed to be moved back?
SB: That I cannot tell you because I don't know where there were places that needed to be
moved back or not. It looks like the fence is currently in the position that the barbwire
fence was in.
BV: I can address all of that if you'd like.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 12 of 52
JK: Please.
BV: So, and, forgive me, I thought that maybe you and I didn't end up touching base on this a
while back, but this issue I worked -- what's the right word? I'm trying to think of the right
adjective. Diligently or significantly with Steve Peel (phonetic) this spring, late spring,
early summer in going through the Conditions of Approval on the finalized Design Review
application to make sure that the City achieved that pathway location in the location that
was approved with the Conditions of Approval because the conditions had subsets that
because we didn't have enough information, we never were provided a survey of the
location of the pathway that was built in relation to where the easement was located. So,
it took a lot of back and forth and he and I walking the pathway numerous times to do our
best to identify where the easement location was up to and including me calling
Toothman Orton Engineering to get additional documentation from them. Some survey
work that they completed to better identify the location of the easements. So, for
instance, right here on -- I think this is Lot 40, you can't see it. And if I go into too much
detail and bore you I'm sorry. If you would like to come into the office someday and we
can open up the file, I can walk all the steps through if you --
JK: If it's already been completed -- forgive me if I forgot or missed an update or something,
but I don't remember hearing where the fence had been completed or not. Maybe it was
just my lapse.
SB: It has been completed.
JK: Okay.
BV: So, in this area right in here. When the City did the stop work order on the fence that was
constructed it was generally constructed from about this point eastward. They set the
wooden posts through the wetland area in here, but did not construct the wire. Those
wooden posts stopped right here and then this was all open so, I knew it was extremely
critical to make sure that before they set the posts that they were well off the easement
area so we gained all the necessary information to where the easement was located. It
got extremely tight in this area. You see that bit of water right there? And interestingly
enough when we were down there this spring two very active beaver crossings across
here into the stew area. It was quite neat to watch and see. I never did see the beaver
though. Anyway, so we were able to move the fence onto the easement line in most
locations and I was even able to encourage them and was successful in moving the
fence back off the easement a little bit in this location because it was so tight in here. It is
doesn't maybe full tight by looking at this picture, but when you're on the pathway it does.
It is constricted in this area, but they legitimately had the path right on the edge of the
easement. And then the fence continued and this part was fairly open through here.
This is our bridge crossing. The fence was set back appropriately all the way through
here. I verified the location of this there was a post on this very point right here that felt
constricting when you were there, but it too was on the edge of the easement. They were
not into the easement area at all. And then the rest of the pathway very much the fence
was set back off the pathway edge on the easement line. One of the things, though, that
once I got out of the wetland area I was able to go out and witness what the fence
contractor when they started -- because the Design Review approval stated you had to
use wood posts, but it allowed for the use of metal posts on the levy area where they
could not drive wood posts in and they had a tractor out there with a hydraulic rim hooked
to the PTO using that to drive the posts in and we went rounds and rounds and rounds on
this before they started the fence construction and we finally agreed you just need to call
me and I'll go out and do a site inspection when you get to a point where you can't get it

in. And I believe it was somewhere in this area where they were unable to -- they were
just splitting the posts and mushrooming the ends because underneath all of this area
was fill and significant like riprap and whatnot. Well, that ended up being the case almost
back to where the wetlands area started so what we were able to do is they were able to
face all of the metal T -posts with a wooden post. They were not required to do that on
the levy area but through the process they elected to do so because Steve felt that that
provided a consistent look through the whole area and it was win-win on that front and
that even though they were allowed to use more T -posts than we originally contemplated
they, I guess, maybe as a quid pro quo faced all of the posts along the main levy area
which made for a more consistent look. Additionally, it wasn't required that they fix this
90 -degree corner yet they were willing to refabricate that H -brace in that or that corner
brace there to a --
JK:
Angle?
BV:
Yeah, to an angle.
JK:
Good. Okay. Good.
BV:
Though it's not a huge angle but it's a --
JK:
But it no --
BV:
At least it's not 90 --
JK:
Longer comes to a point?
BV:
Right.
SB:
It allows the bicyclists to make the turn comfortably.
BV: Then the fence comes -- or, pardon me, yeah, the fence and the pathway comes all the
way down to the end of -- to the development down in here. So, this was wrapped up
several months ago. I issued a Zoning Certificate for a Certificate of Completion on the
fence and haven't heard from Steve since other than to talk with Steve Noyes (phonetic)
about where to place trimmings as we go along and do maintenance along the pathway
where to place the trimmings.
JK: Thank you.
SB: I could put on a camera on my bike and you could see.
BV: Just for fun, from a Google Earth image you can see back on the pond issue here's one
of the platforms here and then I believe there's another one up here and maybe from this
image it doesn't seem very far, but the drop in elevation from the top of the pond to the
elevation of this platform is, what, 20 or 30 feet maybe. And so when you're standing in
this platform area it doesn't look like you would cast a line out and fish from this location.
So, engaging them might be a good idea and I think that was it. Any other questions?
Thank you.
JK: Thank you.
SB: By the way, if any of you are cyclists I would encourage you to take that trip up to Laguna

Pointe and go on up into Boise. It's a lot of fun.
Mayor: Cherese, do you have anything?
SB: Oh, and by the way, I have seen no one wandering on the other side of the fence.
Mayor: Hmm. No one fishing?
SB: Ever fishing or anybody. So, I don't think they have a whole lot to worry about.
Mayor: Okay. Uh, Cherese, do -- did you have anything?
CM: I do not.
Mayor: Sharon, do you have anything?
C: No.
Mayor: Nichoel?
NB: The only thing I have is just a reminder that you have (inaudible) Council on next
Tuesday the 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 here at City Hall on Transportation (Inaudible).
Mayor: Okay.
NB: (Inaudible).
Mayor: And I believe we have a Town Hall Meeting on Monday evening, right? So, Steve, do
you have anything?
SN: (Inaudible).
Mayor: Okay.
CS: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Steve is also working on the Merrill Rooster Project and will probably have a report for us
on that pretty soon.
SN: I've got an update on that.
Mayor: Okay. You want to give us that and then Craig?
SN: Mr. Mayor, Council, yes, the Rooster Project. We had the initial drawing and basically it
was a finished drawing of what it would look like when it was done. Basically, we have to
decide on a design before they go forward and put the structurals together and we had
our initial drawing done a couple weeks ago and I showed it to the Mayor and other than
a few adjustments -- I don't have a picture with me. I wasn't ready for it, but other than I
think the major change was both sides, the front and the back, are going to be able to
display the rooster so anyone that wants to look at it can come from the front or the back.
One side's going to have an access door to actually take it out so when we need it
through Eagle Fun Days or whenever Mr. Aho needs it for any other activity it'll be able to
easily be removed out of the cage. Today I went over the second drawing. I made those
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting

Page 15 of 52
changes where he's going to design it to have it open up from the front and back. And
then there's going to be a weather vane, Sharon. That was the first thing I asked him to
do. The question of the feeder, it looks like there's a little silo next to it that's supposed to
feed the rooster in design. That's going to have to be custom made so who we're using
design this is a local designer. It's called DRAFTECH and they actually handle about
60% of our residential plans here in Eagle. And Brendan and Michele, they're a couple
that have been here since -- oh, gosh, I think 2005, and he was all about putting this
together for us. And he's actually going to get this done at a very low, low, low, if any
expense at all as long as we put a little placard on this little building telling the community
that they are the ones that designed this so, we went for it and it continues. And after the
next design that we approve then we'll get the structurals in and we'll get it going. And I'll
put the contractors together and we'll just have a City -run project, so any questions on
that? Sir, I wasn't sure, did you want me to go over the 208 Cares that we had last
Friday?
Mayor: Sure. Sure. That'd be good.
SN: Okay. Last Friday I had a meeting with the Mayor and a gentleman by the name of Greg
Hall. He's a President of this Treasure Valley non-profit organization called 208 Cares
and what they do is they try to build a house for a veteran in need. And he came to us
last Friday because they have a veteran, his name is Bradley Wells (phonetic), who had
a very hard time. He had a few tours of Iraq, Afghanistan, and he lost his left leg and
when he got out of the military because of his injuries he was put on very high painkillers
and he got addicted. And from what we hear now, he's in a good recovery and he's
doing well, but he wants to reside here in Eagle so, this company, 208 Cares, wants to
build him a house right over there behind the Arts West project. I forgot the name of the
subdivision, but what they're asking us to do is if we can waive some of the fees to help
out this organization so, with the discussion of the Mayor we want to put this towards how
we run the St. Jude's Home. St. Jude's, we've done four homes in the last six years here
in Eagle. They really like to come to this town and what we do for them is we waive
certain permit fees for them to help out the cost. So, the fees I have in mind right now
are basically just City. The permit fee itself, the review fee that's established with it, and
I'll let you guys make the decision on this, but the parks fee. All the rest of the permit
fees have to stay in place because they're contract -based. They're a pass-through so
once they get through we pass it on to the inspectors that are contracted, but those other
ones, it makes a significant contribution to this organization so, I'd like you to think about
possibly letting me waive those fees when these plans come in.
Mayor: And I think when we get the final idea together it will come back before the Council for
approval just the way we did the St. Jude's House.
SN: Yes, sir. And this would be a great thing for the City of Eagle because I always kind of
copy what Councilman Bastian says, the City of Eagle is the jewel of the Gem State and I
even put that on the letter to the Mayor about this and I think this would be a great thing
for us because I haven't heard any other jurisdiction doing this yet so let's make the first
step.
UnkM: Cool.
SN: If that's it, any other questions? All right. Thank you.
Mayor: Okay. Craig, did you have something?

CS: Oh, I just wondered if we had time to knock out our Executive Session before the time,
but probably getting too close to it.
SB: I think not.
Mayor: Yeah, probably. Probably too close. So you guys --
NP: Nice try.
JK: (Inaudible).
NP: Appreciated.
JK: These appointments to the Library Board are on an amended Agenda already or does
the --
Mayor: We have to amend it. We have --
JK: We have to amend it, all right.
Mayor: And did you see the Eagle Senor Center one too?
JK: No. When did this come out?
Mayor: It should be in the packet.
NP: What is that?
JK: I had two, they were both Library Board.
Mayor: No, it's just one of those. There's only one.
JK: For Danny Mortensen (phonetic) and Nicki Hire (phonetic).
Mayor: Danny, we can't do because (inaudible).

[Resumes]
Mayor: Before we call the meeting to order we have Pastor Tim from the Eagle Nazarene Church
to lead us in invocation.
[Invocation]
Mayor: So, I'd like to call the Eagle City Council to order. Our meeting of August the 23, 2016,
and ask our City Clerk to call the roll.
C: Kunz?
JK: Here.
C: Bastian?
SB: Here.
C: Preston?
NP: Here.
C: Soelberg?
CS: Here.
C: All present. A quorum is present.
Mayor: Thank you. Would you join us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
[Pledge]
Mayor: This is the place on our Agenda for Public Comment of anyone who would like to
comment on any Non -Agenda item please come forward and I knew you were going to
raise your hand. You have three minutes and I will call time on you Mr. Butler.
MB: Thank you for your time Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. I've been out of town for
quite a bit, but I've watched some of the Budget Hearings and I just want to say I
appreciate all the work. I know how hard it is to get through the budget, but it sounded
like you really grappled with I think it was $67,000 or $70,000 roughly. As Jeff knows I'm
not real --
JK: $77,000.
MB: Pinpointed on the numbers for the property tax increase and what I wanted to say is that
in anything we do what's really important is a foundation. If you build a house, rebuild a
house -- I've rebuilt a lot of the little places in downtown Eagle. The first thing I do is
crawl underneath and see what kind of foundation there was. It's important to have a
good foundation and when we look at our income sources many of them are from
building permits and different types of things, but that one that is a solid foundation is that
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 18 of 52
income source from property tax. So, I think to just look at the $77,000 and say why do
we really have to collect that from people, we have 10 million dollars for our budget, I
think it's kind of missing the point that you want to really protect the City in the future and
build that property tax foundation. For me as a property owner it's very little so I just
wanted to put in my support for future years when you get to that 3%. Think about it as
the foundation and the foundational income for the City so that if we do take dive at least
over 5, 10 years, whatever it is between now and if there's another dive you've built that
foundation for property tax base. The other thing, too, is I've been talking to Rachelle
(phonetic) with Republic Storage. Boise City for their trash collection has something that
we don't have it here and it's called premium pick-up. So, when you have a driveway
that's up to 150 feet long you can pay an extra service and an extra fee, a monthly fee,
and they'll come out and they'll go the extra distance to pick up your can and pull it up the
driveway. Great for seniors or lazy people like myself who used to live on Washam Road
and had a 200 -foot long road. Also great for these new types of developments that
you're starting to see where the houses front open space. They don't front a street and
they have a little alley in the back, and sometimes they're kind of dead-end alleys. This is
something that Boise is doing a lot for their in -fills. I think you saw some of this in
something that got modified recently off of Hill Road but this is a good thing that maybe
you can consider in the future for your contracts for trash pick-up. Thank you so much.
Mayor: Okay. Thank you. Any questions? Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to
offer public comment? Seeing none we'll move onto Additions, Deletions or Modifications
to the Agenda. Do we have any staff requests?
BV: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. Item --
JK: 8 A.
BV: 8 A may be eligible for placing on the Consent Agenda if there is no public testimony here
this evening for it. I've already had the opportunity to speak with the applicant and they
are okay with placing this on the Consent Agenda with the addition of a Site -Specific
Condition of Approval if you would give me a moment when the time comes to read that
to you and if you agree perhaps you can include that in the application. It's in relation to
an irrigation facility on the property that came up as it relates to New Dry Creek's need to
work with the property owner to make sure that irrigation is provided through the property
so we have a Condition of Approval that would solve the issue.
SB: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
SB: I would recommend that we put this on the Consent Agenda, but also reserve it as a
separate item at the end of the Consent Agenda for final approval. Can we do that?
BV: Yes.
SB: Okay.
Mayor: Okay, so in doing that we would approve the Consent Agenda or discuss this before we
approve it?
SB: Mr. Mayor, usually when you have a Consent Agenda if a Council Member desires to pull
one item off then that is discussed the next item right after the vote on the Consent
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting

Page 19 of 52
Agenda.
Mayor: Okay.
SB: And what I'm saying here is we include this on the Consent Agenda, and then what I'm
saying is I'd like to pull it off and be right at the end of the Consent Agenda.
Mayor: Sounds good.
BV: Thank you for that clarification. That was perfect.
Mayor: Okay.
JK: Because no one signed up (inaudible).
Mayor: Okay, there's no one signed up. Is there anyone in the audience that would be here to
testify for or against that would be in opposition to moving it to the Consent Agenda?
Then seeing none, let's work through any other and then we'll vote on these one at a time
okay. So, Council?
JK: Do you want the other additions to the Consent Agenda?
Mayor: Sure.
JK: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we also add to the Consent Agenda the appointment of
Nicki Hire to the Library Board as well as a not to exceed expenditure of $4,159.96 to pay
for 128 folding chairs for the Eagle Senior Center, said funds to be paid by the City of
Eagle. And then we've already discussed the Wallace Subdivision addition.
Mayor: So, the appointment to the Library Board would be Item H?
JK: H.
Mayor: And the Eagle Center Senior would be --
JK: I.
Mayor: I.
JK: And J would be Wallace Subdivision.
Mayor: And J would be Wallace. Okay. Any other suggestions?
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
JK: I want to pull things from the Consent Agenda briefly.
Mayor: Okay.
JK: Mr. Mayor, I would request that we briefly pull Consent Agenda Item 6 E and F, the
minutes from the August 9th and 16th meetings, for a very brief comment.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 20 of 52
Mayor: Okay. Would you like to move those before J and discuss those or how do you want to
deal with that?
JK: Well, I have a couple of comments I would like to make with respect to both sets of
minutes so I don't know if you want to discuss them and leave them on the Consent
Agenda and discuss them or do you want to pull them off. I would like to pull them off, I
think.
Mayor: Okay. So, where would you like to move those? Under --
JK: Under J maybe.
Mayor: Okay. Okay so we'll remove Item E and F. Let's just eliminate Items E and F and put
those under J, which would be K and L. So, E would be K and F would be L. Okay. Any
other changes? Seeing none, we would entertain a motion on the Consent Agenda with
the changes.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
JK: I would move that we approve Consent Agenda Item 6 A through D, H, I, and J -- or,
excuse me, G, H, I, and J.
SB: With the --
JK: Or --
SB: With J being pulled off.
JK: Being pulled off.
Mayor: Okay.
JK: So, I guess it would be only up through I, correct?
Mayor: Okay. So, the motion is to approve Items A through I.
SB: Second.
Mayor: And we have a second. Is --
JK: Minus E and F though.
Mayor: Right, minus E and F was pulled. So, we have a motion and a second. Is there any
discussion? Then seeing none, I would ask the clerk to call the roll. Do we have a
procedural problem we need to address?
CM: Well, I was just trying to keep straight from what I heard which is why I was conversing
with Sharon was that you had added some stuff to the agenda and I didn't hear a motion
to approve the addition. I just heard the motion to approve the Consent Agenda itself so
it just seemed we were jumping one procedural step and I was just trying to converse
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 21 of 52
with Sharon to see the minutes to see if I just didn't hear it.
Mayor: I think you're right and if we could get the second and the maker of the motion to agree
we could withdraw that. Add --
SB: I agree.
Mayor: Add the --
JK: I'll withdraw the motion.
Mayor: H and I so we need a motion to add H and I to the Consent Agenda?
JK: So moved.
Mayor: We have a motion and --
JK Are you not adding J?
Mayor: It was already --
JK: You're not adding J?
Mayor: Wasn't it already on there?
JK: The Wallace Subdivision --
Mayor: Oh.
JK: I thought we were going to add it but then --
Mayor: H, I, and J to the Consent Agenda -- we need a motion for that.
JK: So moved.
Mayor: And we have a motion, and a second?
SB: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second, any discussion? Do we need a roll call for the addition?
UnkF: No.
Mayor: Okay. Is there any opposition to the additions to the Consent Agenda? Then seeing
none, those are approved and now we are back to a motion to approve the Consent
Agenda.
SB: The motion has to be remade.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 22 of 52
JK: I would make a motion that we approve Consent Agenda Items A, B, C, D, G, H, and I.
CS: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? And seeing none, we'd ask
the clerk to call the roll.
C: Bastian?
SB: Aye.
C: Preston?
NP: Aye.
C: Kunz?
JK: Yes.
C: Soelberg?
CS: Aye.
Mayor: The motion is approved. Now, that moves us to Item K.
JK: Mr. Mayor, in the draft minutes of the August 9, 2016, regular Council Meeting on page 1
we entered into an Executive Session. The Idaho Code section cited is 74-206F I believe
it should be 74-2061 F. I believe there is a 1 missing there. The other reason I wanted to
briefly discuss this is on page 5 under Item 7 L the minutes of the July 26, 2016 meeting
the second paragraph is quoting me saying -- or, it says Kunz: I have made some
corrections to the minutes. I would ask that the word made be changed to proposed so,
the sentence reads I have also proposed some corrections to the minutes. The proposed
corrections to the minutes affected some names in the minutes. They were quite minor,
but I worked through a Deputy City Clerk to propose those corrections, all right. I did not
make them directly.
Mayor: Okay. And Item F -- former Item F, now L.
JK: Just a minute. Uh-oh, where is my second set of ... in the draft minutes of the Special City
Council Meeting from August 16, 2016, which was a public Budget Hearing on page one
under Section 6 A the second paragraph reads Bob Van Arnem, his address, and then it
says discusses previous comments he heard at the Budget Meeting. Mr. Van Arnem did
indeed discuss previous comments he heard at the Budget Meeting, but he also went on
to respectfully challenge certain claims and assertions that he had also heard during the
Budget Meeting, but perhaps equally importantly he also discussed some budget
concerns, specifically, how taxation and budgeting should be approached. He
specifically gave an example of needs versus wants -based budgeting, and furthermore,
he encouraged "spirited debate" with respect to some of his specific budget concerns and
he listed at least three specific concerns that he had. I'm only going to mention two. The
first one being significant increases in the park related budget since 2015. The second
one being increases in personnel costs. The third one I believe related to the IT
Department, but the audio was not clear so, with respect to that I would ask that Mr. Van
Arnem's comments be summarized to include the idea that in addition to discussing
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 23 of 52
previous comments he heard at the Budget Meeting that he also respectfully questioned
and challenged certain comments that he had heard and assertions that he had heard
during the meeting, and that he also expressed some specific budget concerns.
Mayor: Would you like his comments be added to the minutes verbatim?
JK: No. I'm just asking that what I shared with you be summarized at a high level beyond
what's currently there.
Mayor: Okay. So --
SB: Mr. Mayor, with that being said, I think we need to have the summary before us before
we can approve it.
JK: All right, so, let me take a stab at it. Bob Van Arnem, address is given, discusses, and
challenges previous comments and assertions he heard at the Budget Meetings. That he
also discusses how taxation and budgeting should be approached with a specific
example of needs versus wants -based budgeting. And he also encourages, "spirited
debate" on two specific budget items or concerns in particular. The first one being
significant increases in the park related budgets since 2015, and second increases in
personnel costs. I did go back and watch the video of his testimony and I believe those
summary comments are consistent with his testimony.
Mayor: Okay, is that in form of a motion?
JK: That is a motion.
Mayor: It's a motion to amend the minutes as read by Mr. Kunz do we have a second?
SB: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second, discussion? Because this is the Consent Agenda do
we need a roll call? Okay, then if there's no objection then the changes to the minutes
former E, #K and F letter L are approved. Now, does that move us to J?
JK: I believe it does, yeah.
Mayor: Okay, so now we're at Item J, which is formally A and I think Mr. Vaughan has some
recommendations for us.
BV: Thank you Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. This item has been placed on the
Consent Agenda and then removed from the Consent Agenda, and if you would consider
adding the following conditional of approval with your motion to approve that would be
great. It's Site -Specific Condition #11 and it reads the applicant shall comply with all
requirements of the New Union Ditch Company in regard to any future relocation of the
irrigation lateral located within the property. The applicant shall provide a license
agreement and or user's agreement from the New Union Ditch Company for all irrigation
improvements associated with the lateral prior to the City Clerk signing the final plat.
Mayor: Okay.
SB: I so move, which means that we approve PP/FP-04-16 Wallace Subdivision, with the
condition as read by Bill Vaughan.

JK: Second.
NP: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second, any discussion? Seeing none, I think this requires a roll
call vote, correct?
SB: I'll request a roll call vote.
Mayor: Okay. So, we request a roll call vote please?
C: Bastian?
SB: Aye.
C: Preston?
NP: Aye.
C: Kunz?
JK: Yes.
C: Soelberg?
CS: Aye.
Mayor: Okay, thank you guys. It took a while, but we got through that. So, that moves us to
Public Hearings and Mr. Vaughan, Item B ZOA-02-16 Zoning Ordinance Amendment,
Ordinance #756.
BV: Thank you Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council. This is a Zoning Ordinance Amendment.
This evening is eligible for both your action on the ZOA and also your action and reading
of the ordinance, Ordinance #756, following your action of ZOA, if you approve it.
There's 51 pages in the proposed ZOA and I would like to go through each page and go
through each change with you, which should only take an hour or two, or I can see A, if
you have any questions from what you've read or if you would like me to walk through
and maybe touch on some highlights. When I went through this with the Planning and
Zoning Commission they didn't have any questions. They made a recommendation of
approval and so, I thought many times throughout the day how to best go about this and I
would defer to you, Mayor, in terms of how you would like me to proceed with this
presentation.
Mayor: Actually, I think we should have the Council decide. Preferences?
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
JK: I have looked through the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments otherwise known as
Ordinance 756, the questions that I had I was able to contact Administrator Vaughan
prior to this meeting and he was able to answer them for me, so I don't have any further
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 25 of 52
questions.
CS: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
CS: I've had a chance to look over these as well and I'm in favor of moving to a motion to
approve after the waiver.
Mayor: So, what's your preferences? Do you have any? Okay.
SB: I have to confess I'm a little lost of what item we're looking at right now.
JK: 8 B.
Mayor: It's 8 B.
NP: 8 B.
SB: 8 B, okay. I have it right then. I did have a question if I may. On page 44 of 51 there's
an 8-2A-20 Maintenance and I'm just wanting to emphasize the fact that it's there. It shall
be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain in a competent and attractive
manner in perpetuity all improvements made pursuant to the Design Review application
approval including but not limited to all structures, site furnishing, fences, site and parking
for lighting and street lighting, parking lots, parking lot striping, pathway lighting,
landscaping, and drainage, and irrigation facilities. I think that particular sentence is key
to the whole process and the other things that follow are on page 45 we can see that
some things have been stricken and others added. And I have read through all of those,
I agree with them and you can see on page 45 additional changes and those are
basically 47, 48, and 49, basically make up the most of -- and 50, all the changes that are
being made. The previous pages are just recitation of the existing ordinance.
Mayor: Thank you. So, it looks like everyone's issues have been addressed and Mr. Bastian has
pointed out some specific issues that I think are near and dear to his heart and very
important. We have no one signed up for the Public Hearing. Is there anyone who would
like to comment? Mr. Butler, please come forward.
MB: Mark Butler, 1675 East Bishop Way, Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council,
I'm really excited specifically about one particular change. When my ex-wife and I moved
here and family in '94, it was so cool to be an area where you can drive up to a little stand
and people sold cucumbers, and watermelons, and there was a place we went to on
Eagle Road where they sold lilies, and that kind of limited horticulture your ordinance
helps that out and I just love that to death. I'm just really appreciative. There's some
other language in here that helps people who have nonconforming homes. In case the
home burns down there's some language in there that provides the City protection, but
gives those people the ability to get a letter from the City or look at the Code and
understand that they can get a loan, because that's been a real difficult thing for the City
for many years. The only one question I had -- well, two things I wanted to bring up. You
know your Home Occupation Section is changing so that what we as a previous Council
approved for the outdoor dog training -- I don't have an opinion one way or another, but
the outdoor types of uses on home occupations wouldn't be allowed. I just wanted you to
be aware of that, like I said I don't have an opinion one way or another. But the only
question I had was under the City Allowed Uses. I'm not sure if I have the actual
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 26 of 52
document you have. I've got page 30 of 50, but Live Entertainment Events for the City
are permitted for City Sponsored events or permitted in PS, but you should be able to do
it all over the place. If you want to do a parade you should be able to go through CBD,
MU, R, so, my only thought is -- and it's not that big of deal, but page 30 of 50 on mine, it
seems like live entertainment events City Sponsored should be permitted in all zones.
Thank you so much for your time.
Mayor: Thank you. Any questions? Seeing none, Mr. Vaughan, would you like to address that?
BV: Certainly. The rationale behind creating the use Live Entertainment Event City
Sponsored and by making a P in the PS Zone was prior to this when you read the
definition of Park it didn't include the concept of having a concert, for instance. And we
know that we promote concerts within the park so it was important to at least make it
eligible for -- make parks eligible for City Sponsored type of events. From a belt and
suspenders approach if we were to make that use P in all of the zones Mr. Butler's
correct that it would be allowed -- I can understand more so in our commercial zones. In
our residential zones I'm not sure that the City would go out and look to promote a
commercial entertainment event in a AR Zone for instance, but certainly for instance
on ... excuse me. Thanks for calling me (inaudible) giving me a chance to think about it.
MB: I've been in Columbia for four months.
BV: There's merit to his idea. What I wanted to look to see, for instance a Live Entertainment
Event is a permitted use in the CBD already, and so whether it's an applicant initiated,
property owner, or City it's permitted either way. Same with the C2 Zone, it's a
Conditional Use in the Mixed -Use Zone, so if the City wanted to do a Live Entertainment
Event in the Mixed -Use Zone it would have to obtain its own Conditional Use Permit.
SB: Mr. Mayor, may I ask a question?
Mayor: Yes.
SB: We have two Live Entertainment Events lines. The top line indicates that permission in a
variety of districts or zones and the City Sponsored one only deals with the parks or
public zones. I think that suffices in my opinion because I don't think the City is going to
be sponsoring stuff in these other zones.
BV: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, I think I agree and for clarity though we know that
Live Entertainment Event is already a permitted use in the CBD Zone. Somebody could
argue -- this is silly, but this is how Code works -- Live Entertainment City Sponsored if
we don't identify them as a permitted use at least in the Mixed -Use Zone and the CBD
Zone, I would suggest, somebody could argue and say oh, you can't do a City Sponsored
event in that zone because it's not identified as an allowed use. So, my recommendation
after thinking this through would be to add under the Live Entertainment Events City
Sponsored, make those permitted uses in the C1, C2, C3, CBD, BP, and MU Zones. It's
already identified in the PS. Those would be the most likely zones that I could conceive
of us doing some kind of a city promoted event. For instance on the East End Market
Place I believe that's MU -DA and if they end up creating an area where they want to
partner with the City and do some kind of an event that's a different zone, I.E. MU it
would be nice to have that option. And so, and obviously, we have other zones, the CBD
we have some C2 Zone property that have commercial uses that could potentially at
some point in time in the future partner with the City on an event, so again, I would
recommend adding a P under C1, C2, C3, CBD, BP, and MU with a P already being

under PS. Now, if that's okay I'll go to the next item under the Home Occupation Section,
which is on page --
Mayor: So, before you move off of this so, Mr. Butler had mentioned like a parade wouldn't that
be a permit through ACHD or the police department not necessarily through the City or is
that controlled separately?
BV: Certainly we would work with ACHD since they own the street to have a parade through
there. The zone does extend across the street. I would need to go back and read
through the list of defined uses to see if a parade is identified as something different then
a commercial live entertainment event. It's never been raised as an issue or argued as
an issue that we don't have a zoning right to do a parade in the community, but I don't
perceive that as a problem as of now.
Mayor: Okay. Thanks.
BV: And if it is something that I need, I will be bringing another ordinance amendment back
around to encapsulate changes that I didn't include in here as I think it would have been
too voluminous and so, I will research that issue and include it in a future one if
necessary. The goal with the changes on page 45 to the Home Occupation Section was
to better quantify for staff's use the parameters of the home occupation allowances. On
that page under Item 2 for instance, it states the use of the dwelling unit -- we added the
word and garage, for the home occupation shall be clearly incidental and subordinate for
the use of residential purposes by its occupants, et cetera. It was an interpretation in the
past whether or not to allow the garage to include the 25% calculation area and I would
like to add it in so as to make it clear that they are eligible to use that in the square
footage calculation for the 25%. And one point of clarification, additionally we stated
before that no significant traffic shall be generated by the home occupation. Trying to
quantify that more I'm recommending the language which states traffic relating to the
operation of the home occupation such as mail and parcel delivery shall be limited to a
maximum of four vehicle trips per day (as defined in the most recent version of the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual), and then having the issue
become very measurable and less discretionary. Down below under #5, what Mr. Butler
is referring to it states, no equipment process shall be used in such home occupation
which creates noise, (inaudible), vibration, glares, fumes, odors, or electrical interference
detectable to the normal senses off the lot, if the occupation is conducted in a single-
family residence or outside of the dwelling unit -- I don't believe it was intended for this
portion of the Code to allow a home occupation to exist on the property outside of the
dwelling unit because you have to make the Finding that a maximum of 25% of the
dwelling unit's area is for the use of the home occupation. The dog training facility that
Mr. Butler was referencing was denied by staff and then appealed to the City Council and
the Council approved the appeal for the use of the dog training facility, which is fine, but it
wasn't measurable in the enumerated Findings that staff would make for a home
occupation that it's within the 25% area of the home occupation. I think the intent was for
offices and things like that could occur out of one's home. If you want to allow it to occur
on the property and identify performance standards by which we can measure it, that's
completely fine. That's your discretion. It's just not something that is typically needed or
requested, and it would be potentially challenging to manage depending on how crazy
something got, but it's something that we could look at or also not allow. And then if
somebody it appeals it to you and you want to grant a waiver because you think it's an
appropriate use then you're eligible to do that both through -- or primarily through a
conditional use permit now, which Idaho Code states through your granting of a
conditional use permit you can issue waivers to zoning standards. At this point, I think it's
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 28 of 52
very discretionary on your part in terms of whether or not you want to limit a home
occupation to the structure on the lot or open it up to the outside.
SB: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
SB: I would like to see it tightly controlled as it is now with a calculation of percentage of
square footage of the home and if there is a desire by someone to have something
outside the home like dog training, let that be an exception, a waiver, that we could
approve based on a case-by-case situation.
CS: I agree.
JK: I agree.
NP: (Inaudible).
Mayor: It sounds like everyone agrees. Yes. So, it's back to the Council for discussion, but I
guess I should close the Public Hearing at this point.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
JK: Can we get a procedural matter out of the way as far as the three reading waiver? Would
it be appropriate to do so now?
Mayor: Yes, that would be great, but I would also encourage us to have some discussions
maybe --
JK Right, but can we go ahead and do this portion and then --
Mayor: Okay. Yes.
JK: Mr. Mayor, I move pursuant to Idaho Code 50-902 that the rule requiring ordinances to be
read on three different days with one reading to be in full be dispensed with, and that
Ordinance #756 be considered after being read once by title only. That title being
Ordinance #756 an ordinance of the City of the Eagle, Ada County, Idaho amending Title
8, Zoning Chapter 1, Zoning interpretation and Definitions, Chapter 2, Zoning Districts
and Map, Chapter 2, Article A Design Review Overlay District, Chapter 3, Performance
Standards, Chapter 4, Off Street Parking and Loading, Chapter 5, Nonconforming Uses;
providing a severability clause; and providing an effective Date.
CS: Second.
Mayor: I have a motion and a second, any opposition to waiving the three readings? Seeing
none then those are waived. Discussion?
SB: Mr. Mayor, I've read through the ordinance and I'm in agreement with it and what has
been presented this evening.
Mayor: Okay.

JK: You ready for a motion on it?
Mayor: Sure.
JK: Mr. Mayor --
Mayor: Yes.
JK: I would move that Ordinance #756 be adopted with the following revisions that on page
30 the chart line item entitled Live Entertainment Events, City Sponsored that a P for
permitted appear in the column C1, C2, C3, CBD, BP, and MU, in addition to the PS
already shown and I believe that's it, correct? Stan, did you have any further?
SB: I do not. Second.
Mayor: Okay. We have a motion and a second, further discussion?
JK: Did that cover all of the?
Mayor: Did that cover everything? Okay. Seeing no discussion those in favor please signify by
saying aye.
All: Aye.
Mayor: Those opposed.
C: You need to do a roll call.
Mayor: We need a roll call on an ordinance. Gee, I'm trying to get out of here earlier tonight --
okay, Madam Clerk, would you call the roll.
C: Yeah. Kunz?
JK: Yes.
C: Bastian?
SB: Aye.
C: Preston?
NP: Aye.
C: Soelberg?
CS: Yes.
Mayor: Thank you. So, the next item on the Agenda is #9, New Business and Mr. Vaughan, I
think you're on board.
BV: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, this was a Zoning Ordinance Amendment item that
was approved with the Lakemoor Development at your last meeting. And so, this
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 30 of 52
ordinance we're just placing it on your Agenda so that you may, if you so choose waive
the three reading rule and adopt it.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
JK: I move pursuit to Idaho Code 50-902 that the rule requiring ordinances to be read on
three different days with one reading to be in full be dispensed with and Ordinance #753
be considered after being read once by title only. That tile being Ordinance #753, an
ordinance of the City of Eagle, Ada County, Idaho amending Eagle City Code Section 9-
3-2-5 to limit the restrictions on private streets, to permit multiple connections of private
streets to public streets where access is controlled as approved by the City Council, and
to permit the City Council to waive or modify the standards and requirements of Section
9-3-2-5 in certain circumstances; providing a severability clause; and providing an
effective date.
CS: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second. Those in favor of waiving the three readings rule
please signify by saying aye.
All: Aye.
Mayor: Those opposed? So, we've waived the three readings, we're back for discussion on the
ordinance.
SB: I move that we approve Ordinance #753, an ordinance of the City of Eagle, Ada County,
Idaho, amending Eagle City Code Section 9-3-2-5 to limit the restrictions on private
streets, to permit multiple connections of private streets to public streets where access is
controlled as approved by the City Council, and to permit the City Council to waive or
modify the standards and requirements of Section 9-3-2-5 in certain circumstances;

CS: Aye.
Mayor: Thank you. And that brings us to Item B, Ordinance 754 Annexation and Rezone 4149
West State Street. Mr. Vaughan.
BV: Mr. Mayor, Members of the Council, this was a land use item that was approved years
ago. We identified that this ordinance was not adopted following the land use action on it
so we're bringing it before you at this time to adopt the ordinance to effectively annex the
property into the City.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
JK: I move pursuit to Idaho Code 50-902 that the rule requiring ordinances to be read on
three different days with one reading to be in full be dispensed with and Ordinance #754
be considered after being read once by title only. That tile being Ordinance #754 --
SB: Mr. Mayor, point of order.
Mayor: Yes, sir.
SB: With this motion you don't need to read the ordinance title. We're just voting on the three
reading.
JK: No, we have to read the title as well.
SB: We do?
JK: Yes.
SB: Legal opinion?
CM: Well, if we're doing rights and wrongs, Councilman Bastian is actually correct. You just
take the motion to waive the reading rule itself and then when you approve it you read it
by title only.
SB: Thank you.
JK: Okay.
Mayor: So, we have a motion to waive the three reading rule.
CS: Second.
Mayor: Do we have a second?
CS: Second.
Mayor: We have a motion and a second, those in favor of waiving the rule please signify by
saying aye.
All: Aye.

Mayor: The motion passes, which moves us to Item D, Nichoel.
NB: Mayor and Council, good evening. You are going through this so fast so I am going to try
not to make this long, but I do need a few decisions out of you tonight as to how we
address this roadway. So, we're going to talk about the Palmetto Avenue extension
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 34 of 52
between Plaza Drive and State Highway 44. This is the location of that roadway. If you
remember correctly, Plaza Drive is designed to extend this way through the site and right
about here to right about here there is to be the Palmetto Street extension connecting to
State Highway 44 and the right in, right out. Just to give you an understanding we did
meet on August 18th with ACHD and the landowner and in order for the curb cut,
basically, the roadway cut to be made in the Plaza Drive extension to accommodate the
Palmetto Street extension in the future we're on a very tight timeline to get a response
back to ACHD about what that cross section looks like so how wide is that roadway going
to be at that location. We have had a conversation with the applicant that there may be
some delay in design. We're still working. We're hoping just to have it all happen
together, but regardless we want to make sure that Plaza has the appropriate cut in the
road. ACHD does have a prohibition on cutting into new pavement for five years so it's
very important we get this curb cut in as part of this project. So, just to give you an
understanding, this is the access point that was approved preliminary through a TIS with
ITD. It is in alignment with the Palmetto Street extension in Eagle River and this is a
piece of ACHD right of way that abuts Plaza Drive. The goal is to connect these two
points with this roadway. This is the general alignment that we've been speaking of;
there are some radius issues that will have to be worked through with ACHD. But just to
kind of give you a feeling there will be this pork chop as we would call it to restrict the
access to right in, right out, and then it would curve up to that point. So, this is the match
line here. This is that same piece here. We would be looking at an access point in this
location here, so this is Idaho Athletic Club. The current plan is to stripe new bike lanes
on the north and south side off Plaza Drive as they come through. The questions we
have for you tonight is how we deal with this within the collector cross section. Palmetto
is identified by ACHD Master Street Map as a collector road and as such would be
approximately 70 feet of right of way, 46 from back of curb to back of curb, that's a three -
lane section with a bike lane on either side. Staffs concern and request are should
Palmetto include a bike lane, provision of pedestrian facilities, should the road include a
sidewalk on the east side of Palmetto adjacent to Idaho Athletic Club, is a 10 -foot multi-
use pathway on the west side sufficient to provide connectivity for pedestrians from the
Plaza Drive pathway to the regional pathway on State Highway 44. Should Palmetto
have a landscape medium similar to Eagle River and how should we route the pedestrian
crossing of Palmetto from the regional pathway. So, this picture kind of gives us a good
understanding of what we're talking about. Currently, we have a multi -use pathway on
the north side of the Plaza Street extension. In conjunction with this intersection we
would stripe a crossing at this location and the question is would a 10 -foot wide pathway
similar to what's on the north side of Plaza Drive be sufficient for local connectivity down
to this regional pathway at this location. This pathway actually dead -ends here and then
farther to the west at the Forum (phonetic) Building, so we would want to continue that
pathway along 44, but would a single sided multi -use pathway that could accommodate
both pedestrian and bikes be sufficient. Staffs concern is this Palmetto Street extension
though it is a collector road really is an access road to the highway. We aren't going to
see a lot of bikers using the bike lanes on the facility. It is a right in, right out. It's an
uncontrolled right in, right out, so at this point in time we would really have concern about
having vehicle and bicycle conflicts. So, staffs recommendation at this point in time is
one that we remove the bike lanes from the cross section and that two we allow for a 10 -
foot multi -use path to be developed at the time of this parcel to provide the connectivity
between the multi -use pathway, that a sidewalk be allowed -- probably a 10 -foot sidewalk
be allowed on the east side only to the place in which we can align a pedestrian crossing.
As we talked about before there will be a pork chop and a median -- at least a concrete
median, to control that left turn. And what our desire would be is to have a safer
pedestrian crossing a little bit further up the roadway where it's actually at a better sight
line for the road and for the pedestrians. And so this pathway wouldn't cross directly here
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 35 of 52
but it would come up and then cross wherever it could cross at an intersection if there's
an intersection approved. Additionally, the question then becomes to design is the desire
of the Mayor and Council as you've seen the Eagle River access point that has opened is
a median separated roadway, is the desire for the Council for this roadway to be
designed similarly. If we go back to the cross section would basically be this turn lane
would be allowed to be a landscaped median and staff is neutral on that, so, is there any
questions for us?
SB: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
SB: I do have a question and that is, let's go back to the previous slide. When that is
developed as a residential or commercial mixed-use development will we have a
walkway along State Highway 44 from this road all the way to Eagle?
NB: When a project is developed the regional pathway will need to be extended.
SB: Okay.
NB: Because there's a gap today if you drive it, it stops right there and starts back up at Eagle
Plaza.
SB: So, basically we're coming down to the intersection to State Highway 44, but just prior to
that intersection if you go to the right there would be a pathway that will be eventually
developed and connected to the other one.
NB: Correct.
SB: And so we would have the possibility of bicycle traffic going down and possibly using that
pathway. Is that pathway currently there, is it typically used by cyclists like the greenbelt?
NB: I've seen both pedestrians and bicyclists on it. It's not a well -used pathway today
because it has that disconnect in the middle of it. It's kind of a pathway to and from
nowhere. Currently you can't get to it. I went out to take photos of this access point
location for our ITD access permit and it was a little bit climbing over some nasty
barbwire, and some weeds, and goat heads, and so it's just not accessible today.
SB: Is it a 10 -foot wide pathway?
NB: It is.
SB: Then I would recommend that we have a bicycle lane on both sides at least on one side.
NB: Opposed to a multi --
SB: What's Plaza Drive going to have? Is it going to have a bike lane on both sides of the
road or one side?
NB: Plaza Drive has a bike lane on both sides and then the 10 -foot path on the north side.
Staff is proposing no bike lanes on Palmetto, but a 10 -foot multi -use path to connect the
44 pathway to Plaza to the multi -use at pathway on Plaza.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 36 of 52
SB: Personally, I would prefer a bike lane on both sides plus a sidewalk or a path for
pedestrians. I think bike lanes and pedestrians don't mix real well.
NP: May I ask a question, Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes.
NP: I guess what Nichoel pointed out was that this little Palmetto extension is going into 44.
Would we have a lot of bike traffic going into 44?
SB: Mr. Mayor and Nichoel, I think as bicyclists come down Hill Road and extension to Plaza
they may make a turn right there and want to go down to Highway 44, and turn right or
left depending upon their destination -- where they're going, but I think there would be
bicycle use of that.
NB: At 44 just as a clarification -- at this juncture here they would be forced onto the multi -use
pathway. There would be no option. Bicycles on the state highway are -- well, they do
happen, but it's probably not the safest environment we want to promote.
NP: Right. Okay.
SB: Correct.
NB: So, regardless of where bike lanes are on Palmetto at this location they would go onto
the multi -use pathway. There's no crossing of the highway at this location so really at
that point in time you want them to stay on that pathway system.
Mayor: Any other questions?
SB: Mr. Mayor and Council, I do think that an option would be to have a pathway on just one
side for pedestrians and have bike lanes on both sides of the street because people
going west on Highway 44 on a bike could make that turn up along the street and not
have to cross the street and go up to Plaza Drive, and people from Plaza Drive could
come down either side of the street depending upon which direction you're going, north
or south.
CS: Mr. Mayor, I'm sorry, I'm --
Mayor: Yes.
CS: A little bit lost. Now, you can't ride bikes on Highway 44 right now, right?
NP: Right.
SB: That is correct you can't, but you can ride the bike on the pathway.
CS: So, you're suggesting a bike lane --
SB: If I said Highway 44 1 was incorrect in my statement. I really meant the pathway along
Highway 44.
CS: Oh, okay. I understand what you're saying. So, I think I'm in agreement with what staff is
saying just for this one section a 10 -foot pathway here, but in the road itself no bike lanes
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 37 of 52
because there's no bikes really going to be exiting off 44, and there's no bikes that will be
connecting onto 44 -- if I'm seeing that right.
Mayor: I think what --
BV: If I may Council and Mayor, you are legally allowed to ride on 44 on the shoulder.
CS: Seriously?
BV: It's just the interstate you cannot ride on it. State highway you're allowed to ride on
shoulder.
NB: You can ride on it. It's not an ideal condition.
SB: Most people do not.
NB: Most people --
UnkM: It sounds like suicide.
UnkM: Yeah, it would be suicide.
Mayor: I think what Nichoel had said earlier is that pathway coming down beside Highway 44 that
they wanted a pathway extension on the east side of Palmetto down to a certain point
where they would determine that they could cross to one is to -- it's going to be hard with
that wishbone in the middle, and a person could go there and cross because there's not a
sideway proposed on further, but you could get across and either go to Eagle or towards
State Street either way.
NB: Correct, Mayor. It may require some signage just in general, but I think that our desire is
to make a safe crossing without having those vehicles coming from 44 going, which is 55
at that location, and into a left-hand turn situation onto this collector road.
Mayor: And it's not for this discussion, but that exit coming out of Palmetto we've just had a issue
with ITD down at Edgewood and people have a tendency -- will there be a stop sign here
or?
NB: There will be a stop sign on the one portion to 44 shall we say. They'll still be an
acceleration ramp, but they'll actually have to stop, watch for the gap, and then proceed
into an acceleration situation. But only --
Mayor: Oh.
NB: Yeah, only on the ongoing to 44 -- the southbound.
Mayor: Oh, I was under the impression that we couldn't have an acceleration lane there, I guess
that's not right, huh?
NB: There's been a lot of conversation. The preliminary design shows an acceleration ramp,
but this situation has an acceleration ramp and a stop sign. Edgewood does not have an
acceleration ramp.
Mayor: Okay.

NB: And we can go through that in a minute if you want me to pull it up.
SB: I'd still like to state my position that I'd like to see a bike lane on both sides of the street --
both east and west.
JK: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
JK: I just want to weigh in. First of all I think the pedestrian crossing on Plaza Drive on the
west side of the Palmetto Drive extension is really important. Personally, I would favor
either a 10 -foot multi -use pathway strictly on the west side, but the more I think about it
the more I think a pedestrian pathway and a bicycle path strictly on the west side of the
Palmetto Drive extension, in my opinion, would suffice, so that would be my thought on it.
Either or.
NB: So, you're just saying -- just to clarify, a bike lane on this side of the road and a multi -use
pathway on that same side.
JK: Options A and B. I would be indifferent between a 10 -foot wide multi -use pathway for
both pedestrian and bicyclist traffic or alternatively a pedestrian sidewalk and a separated
bicycle pathway strictly on the west side of Palmetto.
SB: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
SB: To argue a different point of view I think as a person's coming down the pathway along
Highway 44 or even on Highway 44, if they were to make a right turn they have to make a
right turn -- contrary to the flow of traffic they actually would be turning into the flow of
traffic even though it's a bike lane and that's kind of confusing for bicyclists to go across
the street and turn against the flow of traffic, and be riding north when the traffic is
coming south, and I would recommend that that not happen. That you have a bike lane
on both sides and the people who are turning north are on the east side, and the people
who are turning south are on the west side.
JK: What if we provided a bicycle path on the east side only so far as it was needed up
Palmetto in order to connect safely with the one on the west side?
Mayor: Well, part of the issue with that is the bikes flow with traffic and you would be forcing
bikes to flow against traffic and possibly head-on with another bike, so it's --
SB: Yeah, it would be bikes coming and going, and traffic going south.
NB: Yeah, the intent would be that if you were headed west on 44 on this pathway, there will
be a pathway to the crossing, and then a crossing, and then the multi -use pathway
moving north. So, you would be off system after that crossing-- you basically would be
off system after that crossing. You would not be on the roadway if you were a bicyclist.
SB: Mr. Mayor and Council --
Mayor: Let me see if --
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 39 of 52
SB: I just think that it's confusing for a bicyclist if you're in a car you probably wouldn't go
down the wrong way. If you're on a bike it's really kind of hazardous to go across the
lane of traffic and then turn into oncoming traffic even though you're not going into the
traffic you're off to the side in a bike lane. You also have bikes coming down the other
side of that lane and so you have bikes flowing against each other. I just think that's too
confusing and it creates a situation that could cause some accident and it's kind of
dangerous.
Mayor: So, to summarize, we have two different options I think, one is a 10 -foot pathway
sidewalk basically on the east side that's being promoted, and then we have another
option of the 10 -foot sidewalk plus bike lanes on the road going both north and south.
NB: The only correction to that, sir, is the 10 -foot wide pathway on the west side of the
roadway.
UnkM: Right.
Mayor: Oh, did I say east side? I'm sorry it's the west side and on the east side it would be just a
short path to cross over. And what would the disadvantages from the width of the
roadway be with bike lanes there?
NB: The issue really is the right of way and being able to make this serpentine curve here.
We already know that this most likely will need to move. This will have a straighter throat
coming off of 44 and then have to swing over. When we add width to the road that
makes our radiuses wider, and it creates much more of a challenge to meet this ACHD
piece of right of way here, and the access point is approved by ITD. So, by narrowing the
road we're able to narrow the curves and we're able to hopefully get the geometry of the
road to meet ACHD's standards. There may still be some waivers to ACHD standards,
but to really not make it a big S-curve as you're coming off the highway.
Mayor: So, they're looking for a recommendation and we've had some really good discussion so,
can we come to an agreement on what we will ask the staff to take back to ACHD and
remember this is basically at this point for a curb cut, right?
NB: Correct.
Mayor: And the curb cut width is dependent on these options.
NB: The curb cut width is dependent upon whether we can attach these sidewalks potentially,
take out the planter strip, those are kind of all the things that play into it is how wide is the
right of way to accommodate a sidewalk, a planter strip, a multi -use path, bike lane, and
all of that. By eliminating bike lanes you take 12 feet off the roadway. By doing a multi-
use pathway on one side you're reducing another 5 to 8 feet on the east side, so you're
narrowing that right of way required for construction.
NP: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, ma'am.
NP: Can I ask a question about bike lanes. Is that the standard is 6 feet now because it
seems like on other roadways in Eagle they're a lot smaller than that.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 40 of 52
NB: This is the current adopted ACHD cross section for a collector with a median turn lane. It
could be narrower based upon the age of the road and the available right of way that was
given at the time in which it was constructed.
NP: Okay. But at this point it's required 6 -foot. Okay. Wow.
MA: Mayor, may I weigh in on --
Mayor: Sure.
MA: As a experienced cyclist for years of commuting and riding what I would like to see in
here is a potential right on the east side, a bike lane all the way down, and then on the
west side a 10 -foot pathway all the way up.
NB: On the east side --
MA: The east side a bike lane --
NB: A bike lane connecting from 44 to Plaza --
MA: All the way to Plaza, correct.
NB: And on the west side be --
MA: A 10 -foot pathway.
NB: 10 -foot south.
MA: Right.
Mayor: Would that give us a wider roadbed?
NB: Well, what you would do is if we went to our cross section you would remove this section
here, the 8 and the 5, but you would have some of this because at the throat you have to
still have that pedestrian crossing. And then you would take 6 feet off of this side, and
this would be done as part of development, is this 10 -foot on the other side.
SB: Would we lose the tree -lined street or?
NB: You will, yes. At least on the ... sorry, I'm just flipping through maps. From wherever that
crossing is north you wouldn't have tree -lined street. You may because there is a piece
of property here and here that through development we would eventually get it, but we
wouldn't have it at the time of construction. I mean if you know the site very well Idaho
Athletic Club this parking lot goes all the way to 44 -- it stops just short of 44, so ACHD
and the landowners, we're going to have to be working with them to get land to build the
road, and that increases the cost of construction and all of that.
SB: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
SB: I like Mike's proposal. That would work. Bicyclists can ride on the right and there's
nothing to stop bicyclists from riding on the left on the pedestrian pathway either, so you
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 41 of 52
would basically have if they're coming south you would have the pedestrian pathway to
ride on if you're a bicyclist and if you're coming north you'd have the bicycle lane to ride
on, so that works.
CS: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, sir.
CS: I guess my opinion is I'm still really confused why we would have a bike lane going north
because I can't see anybody coming off Highway 44 on a bicycle and needing a bike
lane. And all I see is people coming off of Highway 44 going 55 miles an hour and
slowing down to 30, and colliding with bikes, so I mean the bikes are going to be coming
in on a 10 -foot pathway that's north of 44. If we can keep connecting them to a 10 -foot
pathway I'd rather see them do that then jump off and get in a bike lane on Palmetto. So
I just see it as like a safety hazard like 55 miles an hour coming off and I bicycle all the
time as well, but there's a short period of time where you're on a 10 -foot pathway multi-
use -- even on that multi -use pathway we could extend it to 12 feet and mark 4 feet of it
as bike lane. I mean you can't go fast on it, but it would be an option. I just couldn't see
anybody coming off of 44 going north on a bike. I just don't see it.
Mayor: Well there is a --
SB: I don't think people would be coming off of Highway 44. 1 think they'd be coming off the
pathway that runs parallel to Highway 44.
CS: So, why wouldn't we just keep them on a 10 -foot multi -use pathway, which is what they're
on right now, cross them across, and have them go north on that same pathway. I just
can't see having them intersect with traffic there in any way or encouraging a bike lane on
that path regardless of the cuts and all that kind of stuff. I just can't see it.
SB: What's likely to happen is bikers are going to go up that right-hand side anyway. There's
nothing in the law that prevents you from being on the roadway on a bike.
CS: Yeah. Well, that's my opinion.
JK: Mr. Mayor, can I ask a question?
Mayor: Yes.
JK: Staff was indifferent with respect to the 11 -foot turn lane in the middle versus a
landscaped median did I hear.
NB: Correct. In this location we need a left-hand turn lane to go onto Plaza as you're headed
north, so at this location we already know that we're going to have a wider section. The
question is the narrowing down of this section or the placement of medians, if possible, in
that center island. As you know this development here in Eagle River that Palmetto it's a
very straight road -- first off I'm going to tell you that, it's a very straight road. There is no
access off of that road and it is a landscaped condition in which it has a median that's
landscaped to separate the traffic.
JK: Question --
NB: The question is do you want us to accommodate medians as necessary or as available
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 42 of 52
within this section of roadway?
JK: My question would be is we know that fire trucks are going to be coming down that
Palmetto Drive extension to get out onto State Highway 44 is there any advantage to
having a turn median as opposed to a landscaped median in the middle?
NB: I don't believe that's going to be an issue in the middle of the road. Certainly at the two
intersections you're not going to have a landscaped median. You have a raised concrete
pork chop at this location and you have an open turn lane at this location, so that radius
where they're coming and coming onto this road it will be wide open for them.
JK: Okay.
NP: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, ma'am.
NP: Director Aho, do you want to respond to Councilman Soelberg's point of view?
MA: The only thing there is that Councilman Bastian is correct a cyclist will exit and you will go
down that road. You will not crossover and go to a 10 -foot pathway. That is a real high-
risk factor those two 90 -degree turns. So, as a flow factor as a cyclist you will go down
that northbound and stay on that shoulder. Anybody coming off of that shoulder is going
to ride that road, anybody.
SB: Yeah, and it doesn't really matter whether there's a bicycle path or not.
MA: Exactly, yeah. It almost doesn't need a bike lane.
SB: Well --
MA: But it is safer.
SB: For safety --
MA: Yes, it is safer.
SB: It would be nice to have a bike lane.
MA: Yes.
NB: I think there's a difference and Mike can contradict me if he would like to, but between a
commuting rider, someone who's out there trying to use it as a mode of transportation
versus a recreational rider, and I think a recreational rider will probably stay on the
pathway. That's what they're for, they're trying to just, you know, we're hanging out,
we're going to go down and get an ice-cream cone or something. They're going to stay
on the pathway. It's the commuter rider that is going to want the bike lane.
SB: And one of the things we could do and you haven't proposed this and I don't know if it's
an ACHD standard, but on Floating Feather Road you have bike lanes off to the side that
are about 4 -foot wide. I don't think those are 6 feet and --
NB: We can ask ACHD. I just can't guarantee that they would grant a waiver to their
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 43 of 52
standard. I mean that could be something we consider as a narrow bike lane.
SB: Yeah, a 4 -foot bike lane would be sufficient.
NP: Plenty, yeah.
CS: I changed my mind. I'll go with Mike's recommendation.
JK: Could you --
SB: Bike lanes both directions?
CS: Just on the right-hand side and then on the --
NP: On the right-hand side.
SB: Oh, just on the right-hand side.
NB: Do you want to propose a 4 -foot or a 6 -foot?
CS: 6 -foot is fine.
JK: Could you do a multi -use pathway on both the west and the east side of Palmetto?
NB: You can. It increases your amount of right of way purchase and it increases your right of
way purchase because we are going to have to deal with right of way from Idaho Athletic
Club and it does in the remnant piece here --
JK: But I'm talking in lieu of a sidewalk and pathway -- bike pathway on both sides.
NB: You still would be acquiring more right of way because you're taking a 10 -foot pathway
and you're giving it a separation of your 8 -foot planter, and then 10 feet for a 6 -foot bike
lane and maybe 8 -foot and a 5 -foot sidewalk. I mean it's just a tradeoff. And it's up to
you. The issue is just at this point in time you have sidewalk here, and this is basically
the end of your 10 -foot section of pathway for Plaza Drive and so it's a very good
terminus for you to get people onto if you want to have a section to the south. It's very
clearly a place to make that transition. But it's at the discretion of the Council I mean you
can ask, you create more challenges the wider the right of way gets.
JK: Okay.
Mayor: So, should we do an Option 1 and Option 2?
SB: Actually, I would like to see a proposal that the roadway is no wider than the Floating
Feather roadway. You got 4 feet on either side and you got a middle turn lane, you got a
lane on each side. That works well for bicyclists and its quiet safe.
NB: This roadway is actually narrower than Floating Feather.
SB: Is it?
NB: Yes.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 44 of 52
SB: Okay. Well, then I take that back, so.
NB: You can ask for that, but they're already giving it to you.
SB: I'm a friend of bicyclists and it shows in my argument here, but I think that the safest way
is to have a bike lane on both sides of the road. Bicyclists are going to use the road
anyway and to be safe you need to have a lane for them on each side of the road.
CS: I change my mind I'll go with that.
UnkM: Yeah.
NP: Mr. Mayor?
Mayor: Yes, ma'am.
NP: But we could petition for a less wide bike lane?
NB: Yeah, we can make a request to ACHD.
NP: A request.
NB: I mean bear in mind this is all a recommendation to ACHD. They certainly were the ones
that came to us and you can request it there's no bike lanes on this roadway -- you can
actually say that to us, because of the condition that it's an access road to the highway.
We're just trying to accommodate the discussion so it can be planned for as part of that
process.
NP: Yeah. The only reason I mention that is you've already let us know that it's difficult with
the curvature of that road so if that would help by reducing 2 feet on each side --
SB: That'd give you 4 feet.
NP: Yeah, and then we could have it on both sides and save a few feet.
SB: And that works.
Mayor: So, how about this as a recommendation that we recommend a bike lane on both sides 4
or 6 whatever we can -- if they'll do 4, do 4, if they want then we'd take 6, and a 10 -foot
multiple use sidewalk on the west side, and that would also include on the east side a
short sidewalk with a crossing lane outside of the wishbone divider.
NP: That sounds good.
SB: I like that idea.
CS: Yeah, sounds good.
JK: Nichoel, Mr. Mayor --
NP: Medians?
Mayor: Yes.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 45 of 52
JK: Nichoel, what is the maximum cross section with available in the ACHD owned right of
way onto Plaza Drive where the curb cut is going in, what is the maximum width of that
channel?
NP: Not this wide. I don't know the exact width. It's not this right of way. I believe they've
tried as much as they can to get it within that, but you would not get the entire right of
way. The development would have to deal with the pedestrian and it's just (inaudible) --
JK: So, if we adopt Mayor Ridgeway's proposal you're saying that will not fit completely within
the ACHD owned right of way.
NB: No.
Mayor: Because the 10 -foot west side pathway would actually be up to the developer.
NB: Yeah, most likely we would ask for ACHD to -- we would construct the pathway as part of
any development project in that area.
SB: That would require the developer to do that.
NB: Correct.
SB: Yeah.
JK: And then would the rest of it fit within the ACHD owned right of way with that condition?
NB: Sir, I couldn't tell you any more than I don't believe -- I still believe that there is still going
to be -- I don't think there's going to be too much gap, but I don't know the exact distance
of that piece of right of way right now.
CS: And I'm in favor of landscaped medians to match the ones to the south.
Mayor: Okay. Xeriscape.
CS: Sure.
Mayor: Okay.
NB: So just as a clarification, bike lanes on both sides. We would be happy with a 4 -foot bike
lane if ACHD is acceptable to that --
SB: I would say first position 4 -foot, but we would accept a 6 -foot as well.
NB: 6 -foot would be standard so 4 -foot would be --
SB: 6 -foot would be our second choice.
NB: A 10 -foot multi -use pathway on the west side to be developed at the same time as the
property is developed. The east crossing there would be a continuation of the pathway
on the east side to an appropriate crossing as identified by ACHD to provide a safe
crossing for pedestrians. And medians are preferred if they can be fit into the right of way
and work with the geometry of road.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting

JK: Non -landscaped medians in the middle.
NB: Non -landscaped medians?
JK: In the middle.
NB: That's a question. Are you saying you want just stamped concrete or are you saying you
want --
SB: I would like landscaped medians myself.
NB: Similar to Hill Road?
SB: Yes.
CS: Yeah, me too.
JK: I would prefer the turn lane.
NB: You'll have a turn lane, sir, here.
SB: The turn lanes will be at either end.
NB: Currently it's just an alternative of what you do when you don't have a turn lane.
Mayor: And the radius on the connection to Plaza Drive will be determined by ACHD and the fire
department, right?
NB: Yeah.
Mayor: Okay.
NB: That roadway cut we're just going to give them these parameters and ACHD will design
the curb cut appropriately for that roadway connection. And they'll pave, I'll believe, it's
up to 10 feet out of that so, just it's clear that that's -- and we'll have one of those
beautiful jersey barrier signs. We are still working to hopefully get this constructed at the
same time. We're just not convinced that we're exactly going to have it happen. We did
hear from ACHD that they will be constructing this still in the spring, but most likely will
not go to bid until January. And that has just to do with getting a better price on the bid
going out in January versus November. But they still plan on --
Mayor: Okay.
NB: An April construction date.
JK: And final designs are due by November.
NB: We were told all of this information needs to be in there no later than the first week in
September because they've got to design to accommodate it.
SB: Okay.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting
Dated: August 23, 2016
Page 47 of 52
JK: Question. If ACHD concludes that they cannot design a curb cut to the width as currently
proposed what is the City's position then?
NB: That's not the issue.
JK: So, they --
NB: The curb cut to the width is not the issue.
JK: No, I mean if they cannot accommodate the width as proposed with the two bike lanes
and everything else such that it becomes a non-viable design, what then?
UnkM: Come back to us.
NB: I don't know what to tell you. The geometry of the road is going to drive what can
happen. Our understanding was the first thing that would be removed is a potential
midpoint access point.
JK: Mayor Ridgeway was proposing an Option 1 and 2, and so if this is our Option 1 I'm
wondering if we want to try and derive an Option 2 that is somewhat --
NB: If necessary we could call a special meeting and have you discuss that or we can poll
you as a Council to get that decision. Certainly our goal is to expedite this and provide
ACHD as much input as they need as quickly as we have it. That was the reason for
putting it on tonight's Agenda is that you won't meet again until the second Tuesday in
September.
SB: Mayor, if I may, as I understand it we're going to tell them what we would like to see in
terms of the dimensions of the road, and the bike lanes, and the et cetera, and they're
going to design it.
NB: They and the landowner who's providing the right of way for it.
SB: Yeah.
UnkM: Can you live with that?
Mayor: Okay.
UnkM: Or do you want Option 2?
JK: Unless it becomes non-viable, right, that's why I'm asking the question. There might be
some advantage in deliberating on a narrower width Option 2, right?
NB: And ACHD just met on this today and we have not heard back from them about the
geometry of the road and the ability to do certain things. We can certainly talk to them
and if you are comfortable leaving it at Mayor Ridgeway's discretion to adapt as
necessary with the understanding of what the conversation tonight has been. The
question really is do you want the road or do you want the road your way, I mean I guess
that's the question because there maybe some --
UnkM: No, we want it our way.
TRANSCRIPT: Eagle City Council Meeting

NB: I mean there maybe some compromises to be made to facilitate the road's construction
that may not be ideal, but the connectivity seems to be paramount of importance to the
City.
SB: We want it our way --
Mayor: Let's ---
NP: The road.
SB: Let the Mayor exercise discretion.
Mayor: And what I would say is that if it comes to that I would have a conversation with everyone
of the options and then we could go from there if we need to --
CS: Sound good.
Mayor: Maybe we could have a special meeting before the URA Meeting if we had to take a vote.
CS: Yeah, sounds good.
JK: The URA is responsible for the engineering and design so, I feel they have some input
here too, right?
Mayor: I don't know.
CS: On the road design within the (inaudible) --
Mayor: I don't think so.
NB: The URA is not -- you're the project manager of the engineering and design work. And
not to diminish that role, but as a four-party agreement as to the roads --
JK: Right.
NB: Actual engineering and design as the --
JK: (Inaudible).
NB: Land use authority we're usually the ones providing directive on roadway cross sections.
Mayor: Yeah, and since we're all the same maybe we can --
NB: You want --
JK: (Inaudible) won't be.

NB: So, any other questions for me? I think I have my direction and I will be in
communication with ACHD tomorrow with the hope of having this information flowing very
quickly and that we're not delaying it at all.

Re: Letter of Interest for Vacancy on Library Board
Dear Eagle Public Library Board of Trustees:
My name is Danny Mortensen, I am an attorney at a local firm, and I am a proud, although recent,
resident of Eagle. I write to express my interest in the vacant seat on the Eagle Public Library Board of Trustees.
As background, I am a married father of 2 girls (ages 4 and 2) and we are transplants from California.
We relocated to Boise in June 2014 when I accepted a job with a Justice on the Idaho Supreme Court (1 year
position). Our relocation, however, was no accident—my wife and I wanted to get out of California once we
had kids and we were specifically targeting the Boise area. In July 2015, I accepted a position with my current
firm and we bought a house in Eagle (our first house!). Eagle is exactly what we were looking for and we
could not be more thrilled to call it home. Now that we have settled in, 1 want to get more involved with the
community. In no time, my girls will be in Eagle schools, and we are already using the library, parks, and other
wonderful amenities and open spaces the city has to offer. I see no better first step than channeling my efforts
and energies into the library.
In my hometown, the public library played an important role in my life. For my kids, the Eagle library
is serving the same purpose. These public institutions promote early literacy and boost family engagement—
crucial attributes of strong families and communities. Education was the mantra in my household growing up,
and we are instilling these same values in my kids. Education is freedom. Public libraries educate, stimulate
imagination, expand ambition, and provide access and support to their patrons—young and old. I'd like to be
a part of that.
Although I may be younger and have less life experience to offer than other candidates interested in
this vacancy, I believe there is tremendous value in the perspective and voice of a young parent currently in
the trenches of raising and educating children in Eagle. For that reason, along with my educational background
and legal training, I think I can add a diverse and valuable perspective. I am a hard worker, quick learner, and
team player. If given an opportunity, I will not disappoint. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly.

Attention Selection Committee:
Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to apply for the Eagle Library. This opening is one I
could not pass up.
I am interested in applying for this position for several reasons. The first is because I moved to
Eagle in February and this would be a great way for me to get involved in my new committee.
The second is because I like to use my time and skills to give back. And third, the most
important to me, is that I love the library. I am an avid reader that uses the library system to its
full advantage by borrowing books and movies on a regular basis. The library was an ingenious
concept when it started and it continues to be today by providing free resources to the public to
enjoy at any age. Because of this, I would love to be a part of the Board that helps ensure that
these resources continue for the residents of Eagle to enjoy.
I graduated from Gonzaga University in 1995 with my Bachelors in Business Administration and
graduated from the University of Utah with my Masters of Business Administration in 1998. In
2009, I became a Big Sister in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program and spent 4 years
volunteering as a Big doing service projects and fun activities with my Little. I joined the Junior
League of Boise in 2011 where I have done a variety of volunteering with the Discovery Center,
the Idaho Food Bank, building school gardens, and more. As a member of the League, I have
served as Nominations Committee Chair and Northwest Exchange Chair, and I am currently
Secretary of the Board.
This opportunity sounds exciting. I hope that you will consider me for your position.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. If I can provide you with any additional information or
references, please let me know. You can reach me at (208) 284-1486 or at
nikki_hyer@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Nikki Hyer
Enclosures
1. Have you worked as a volunteer before? If so, tell us of your experience.
I have been a volunteer with the following organizations performing the following duties:
Big Brothers Big Sisters, 2009 - 2012 - I was a Big Sister. I met with any Little on a
monthly basis for activities.
r
Idaho PieceMakerS, 2010- 2015 - I was the group's webmaster. I maintained the website
with current information and forms that changed on a regular basis in conjunction with the
annual quilt show.
Idaho I--lumane Society, 2014 - 2016 - I wrote cat and dog write-ups for the website on a
regular, rotating basis until earlier this year.
Junior League of Boise, 2011 -. present - The Junior League of Boise is a women's volunteer
organization whose mission focuses on volunteerism. leadership, and training. I am currently
the Board Secretary. In addition, I was chair of Northwest Exchange, a Western regional
conference of Junior Leagues, that took place in March.
2. \A'hy do you want to serve on a Board/Committee/Commission & what makes you the
hest candidate?
I moved to Eagle at the end of February and have been looking for a way to meet people and
get involved in the community. I saw the notice in the Eagle Informer and thought it would
be a great opportunity as I love the library and the fact it provides services to all and allows
free access to tons of information. I also value the library as I love to read and enjoy being
able to have a book for a short time, give it back, and then move on to the next one. It is
important to me to get involved in the community and give back. I enjoy serving on my
current board and would like to expand my involvement in the community by being
considered for the Library Board.
I am the best candidate because once committed, it becomes my priority. That means I focus
on providing input, being involved, and doing whatever I need to do to make the organization
successful. This means going beyond my current duties if needed. In my current role as
Board Secretary, I have assigned monthly tasks. Last year, our League came up in the
rotation to put on the annual Western regional conference. As a past attendee of one of these
conferences, I knew I needed to help. And, when a chair of the committee needed to be
filled, I offered to do it because I knew I could give more than my current role required and
because I wanted the event to be a success. The conference was a lot of work, but a great
success! Most of the attendees felt the event was one of the best conference they attended.
That meant a ton as the committee and I worked hard to make sure we had everything lined
up for a good conference.
I know that if appointed, I would give this same level of focus and commitment to the
Library Board.
3. Additional comments.
I think the Eagle Library is great. It has a great selection and was way ahead of the other
libraries in terms of it checkout and email receipts prior to this new system all the libraries
went to. The Sunday hours are a great convenience too. I would enjoy learning the inner
workings of the library and the board, meeting new people, and lending my skills and
abilities to the community. If I can provide any further information, please let me know.
