Zastrow moves to recommend for approval the annexation and rezone from RUT to MU- DA - A-16-07 & RZ-23-07 with the following recommendations that the applicant would perhaps look at doing better transitioning for densities from surrounding properties as well as through the development, that there be some planning for the impact the development will create for the requirement for schools, perhaps locating some property that would be applicable for construction of schools. That we look at better lot size transitioning. Maybe there is a reconfiguration of the mixed use property where it is not just maximizing exposure to Beacon Light that may be more compatible with some of the surrounding properties in the idea to try to maintain this Village Center concept.

Eagle ID 83616 RE: Reynen and Bardis application November 19, 2007 You have developed a lovely symmetrical plan for an URBAN landscape. When we built here in 1991 we HAD to have 10 acres minimum for a house. The plans for the formerly Flack/Carlock property only transition to slightly larger lot sizes not acreages. This plan demolishes the RURAL feel. Eagle never wanted to be another Meridian. This is one of the last large irrigated agricultural areas left in Eagle. The housing DENSITY is TOO high. Enclosed is a map with what I feel would be more appropriate densities. Hartley is supposed to be a park entrance where people can walk up the road with their children and dogs, ride their bikes, and unload their horses in safety)Hartley is not a road for a major thoroughfare. Infrastructure questions must be answered; especially water, transportation, schools, fire and police. I thank Moriah Christianson your project manager for answering my letter on your behalf but my concerns were not specifically answered. Can you promise this retired couple that their taxes will not be raised to provide infrastructure for your subdivision? Do you care about the future of the people who will live in your creation or are you planning to move on and make money on another region as soon as possible? Sincerely, (A6 Ken and Joan Langdon Ken and Joan Langdon 4690 Hartley Rd. Eagle ID 83616 June 13,2007 Reynen & Bardis / Corinthian Homes 391 West State St., Suite E Eagle ID 83616 To Land Planners and Managers, I just returned from the "Neighborhood" required meeting at the Eagle City Library. We thought the Corinthian Homes in the Parade of Homes were very nicely constructed and were anxious to see the special Eagle conceptual plan. Moriah Christianson was very nice but as informative as a pretty brochure. You have developed a lovely symmetrical plan for an URBAN landscape. When we built here in 1991 we HAD to have 10 acres minimum for a house. The zoning is Rural Transitional, The Flack/Carlock subdivision is not rural and transitions to slightly larger lot sizes not acreages. This plan demolishes the rural feel. Eagle never wanted to be another Meridian. What about the Vineyard Region that Eagle is trying to develop? Why would there be 5 acre parcels North of Beacon Light near Eagle and multiple lots subdivisions in this area? I am certain the Mayor and Council love your symmetrical design and sweeping curvaceous parks and roads. However, the housing DENSITY is TOO large and doesn't transition. Additionally, please do not enter the M3 project by Hartley. This is supposed to be a park entrance where people can walk up the road with their children and dogs, ride their bikes, and unload their horses in safety this is not a road for a major thoroughfare. Please make a lovely curvaceous sweep over the hill using PALMER instead. Please show some respect and care to the people who were here before you. Moriah, of course, couldn't answer the tough questions about infrastructure. Especially water, transportation, schools, fire and police. I will be very surprised to receive a thoughtful letter from you specifically answering these concerns. Can you promise this retired couple that their taxes wont raise to provide these things for your subdivision? Do you care about the future of the people who will live in your creation or are you planning to move on and make money on another region as soon as possible? Sincerely, Ken and Joan Langdon CC Eagle Planning and zoning CC M3 Eagle June 20, 2007 Ken & Joan Langdon 4690 Hartley Road Eagle, ID 83616 RE: Letter dated June 13, 2007 Dear Ken & Joan: Your attendance and participation at the neighborhood meeting is appreciated; I have received and reviewed your letter outlining your concerns as they pertain to our development of the Flack/Carlock property. With any development issues arise that must be dealt with and planned for, as a homebuilding and development company we strive to work with the reviewing agencies, applicable municipalities and neighbors to actively seek the answers, solutions and find the middle ground. We understand the impact of development and are rp epared to ~mitigate our proportionate share of that impact. Infrastructure, Traffic, Schools, Fire and Police are all complicated issues associated with development of any kind. Market, absorption, supply & demand, and economic feasibility are also important factors in development. As I am sure you understand it is a process, a process that can take years to fine tune and implement. ITD, ACHD, the City of Eagle's comprehensive plan and ordinances, topography of the site, drainage, water and sewer are all factors we do not control; rather, we must work through and find the best solutions possible. In addition, this particular piece of property has tenuatin circumstances and unusual c mplicatinsas it is located in two overlapping comprehensive plans. One plan clearly defines the property as limited office, commercial and medium dens y re nt,�ial We ? feel this use is appropriate as Hwy 16 will become a major thorough fare and the synergy l'v�¢c %cam, created at the intersection of Beacon Light and Hwy 16 is an ideal and appropriate place for service oriented commercial uses. The second comprehensive plan uses a floating village center as a means to be flexible and base commercial and higher density around t e�i 'growt ih pattern and projected traffic flow. Many in our office are long time residents of this valley and we develop our communities with integrity and great care for both the future and current residents. You are welcome to visit our office at any time and we would be happy to sit down and discuss your concerns as they relate to our project.

E EAGLE. f[) s6it r: 206 q,)-uo;o 3o8 ' QRC)-qo-' CD N • m z cza r 0 Mr. Chairman Members of the P & Z My name is Bill Lamm of 106 Taylor %, Eagle. I am reading this testimony into the record for Ron and Nancy Marshall, 740 Palmetto Drive, Eagle, because they are out of town and unable to be here tonight. Here are their thoughts on the proposed 58 foot height limit in the central business district. This testimony will use most of the six minutes allowed two residents. If there is one thing that we can be sure of , it will be the end of downtown Eagle as we know it if the height limit is increased from the present 40 feet to 58 feet. If you can imagine or can find a minute to go and view the site west of Eagle Road and south of State Street and imagine how 58 feet would dwarf everything around it. The large Idaho Power metal pole on Eagle Road and the alley is reported to be 70 feet tall. If you view the wires going west of this main pole to the wooden power pole that has two transformers on it on the north side of Rembrants', you are looking at about 60 feet at the top of the pole. Another way to visualize this 58 foot height is to proceed west on State Street and when you are even with the old Eagle Hotel or Orville Jackson's, look at the height of the power lines going north and south above Eagle Road. That is about the same height that this proposed building would be. I understand that the present plan does not include the old Chevron property at the intersection in town. If this remains we still have an eyesore. Two developers have stated to me that it is necessary to build three level structures which will take them to, or near, the 58 foot limit in order for the development to be financially possible. This is because the owners of these lands are demanding such a high price for their property, the developers have to go to the three levels. It is true that downtown Eagle needs a lot of improvements. Our main intersection is bordered by old buildings and vacant lots, however, this situation exists only because the present property owners are demanding such outrageous prices knowing that someone or someway, they will get their price when Eagle City caves in and allows the proposed height limit. I have checked with an appraiser and found that property in downtown Boise is valued in the $40 per square foot range. One source I talked to said that one asking price in downtown Eagle exceeded $80 per square foot. I urge you not to let these unreasonable demands dictate the future face of Eagle. In order for a developer to have adequate parking for this proposed building, it also means a multilevel parking garage. We do need public parking in downtown Eagle if we are going to have a viable business district, shops and restaurants envisioned by our city in planning for a downtown that people can walk around and enjoy. I'm not so sure parking has to be multi -level, certainly not more than two levels. In spite of the fact that we presently have what may be considered an old, ugly downtown, it doesn't seem to deter more people from moving to Eagle and telling us how much they love it. Perhaps the downtown as we know and love it just needs some tune- up here and there. I challenge the City of Eagle and developers wanting to do something in downtown to pursue the parcels identified by the black areas on the attached plat or other parcels to create parking without creating a monster. As you can see, there are all kinds of possibilities. Some rezones and cooperation could result in a much more pleasing result than a piecemeal approach. Consider the following scenario if the 58 foot limit is allowed.... Another party already owns about half of the block that is west of the old Eagle Hotel. That owner could probably, through purchasing or trading the owners in some manner, acquire the balance of the block. The result? Another 58 foot building! Can you imagine walking from the bank or liquor store to Orville Jackson's building, and looking across at 58 foot buildings. Then someone decides to ask for an even higher limit for the next building. Are we going to allow three or four property owners to profit greatly from the sale of their land knowing that it will be the beginning of the end for three or four blocks of remaining, old downtown Eagle that we have left. We strongly urge you to deny this application or any others that propose to exceed the existing 40 foot height limit. • :c , //// //// /* / • 4' .1•% ' ,••• • 1.1111.1 IL COBQLTQ EA It ---_---� EAC Terra View Eagle Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing November 19, 2007 City of Eagle Land Use Designation Map 1 Transitional Residential • Transition of Density • In Character with Existing and Proposed Development • Density Transitions from South to North — Higher density adjacent to Mixed -Use Village Center "• Floating Designation allows for Flexibility • Allows for Mixed Use • Beacon Light has Arterial Designation • SH-16/Beacon Light Road Intersection • Allows for Elongated Village Center along Beacon Light Road Terra View Conceptual Plan i Tem View Conceptual De elopnu m Plan 2 Features of Terra View • Mixed Use along Beacon Light Road • Four Residential Densities — Residential I: 42-foot x 85-foot lots — Residential II: 55-foot x 110-foot lots — Residential III: 65-foot x 1 10-foot lots — Residential IV: 75-foot x 110-foot lots • Maximum Density of 2.89 Units per Acre • Developed and Natural Open Space Transportation Features • Interchange at SH 16 and Beacon Light Road — Have worked with ITD and ACHD to determine area to be set aside • Realignment of Palmer Lane • Three access points onto Beacon Light Road • Conducted a Preliminary Traffic Study • Continue to work with ITD and ACHD 3 Open Space • 46 Total Acres of Open Space — 31 Acres of Developed Open Space — 15 Acres of Passive/Natural Open Space • Interconnected Pathways throughout the Subdivision • Drainage Corridor to be left Natural 4 I
