public hearing regarding the 1~ß7 Eagle Co~prehensive Plan, the time
was 7:42 p.m.
There was no opposition to the Comprehensive Plan. Ray Mickelson,
representing A.T. Steel spoke regardincr the N.W. corner of Highway
44 and 55. Mr. Mickelson would like to encourage a commercial designation
at that corner,as the N.E. Corner has been developed. He suggests us to
discourage stip commercial development and to encourage commercial at
major areas where commercial now exists.
Public hearinq closed at 7:49 p.m.
Chairman WILSON stated that as he sees the issue that the Ada
County Commissioners have final say on all lands outside the incorporated
city limits of Eagle. In the statutes legislation intended local
governments to have a wide range of control in the development within
their influence. Within the outside area of the city limits but inside
the Area of Impact there will be negotiations with the Ada County
Commissioners. It appears that from correspondence with Ada County
that our latest plan does not have any unsolvable problems.
