PUBLIC HEARING/Ashland Acres
Chairman SMITH announced that this was the time and place set for
a public hearing on a rezone application from Rl to R4 and a
subdivision preliminary plat.
Applicant: Kathryn McCallum
Location: approx 2700 ft N and GOO ft E of the intersection of
Floating Feather and Edgewood Rd.(NW of Lexington Hills Sub)
proposal: rezone from R1 to R4 and a preliminary plat for a 24
lot subdivision on 21.1 acres, a portion of which is in the
floodplain.
Dave Roylance, Project Engineer, outlined the project having
central water to be connected to the Lexington Hills Water, and
will have central sewer with ACHD roads. The average lot is 1.8
acres, the smallest lot is approximately 1/2 acre. The water
system is Lexington Hills, a private system, built by Lexington and
deeded to the City. The intent is to negotiate with Lexington
Hills to be allowed to connect to the system. The developer will
probably drill another well, maybe not on this property, but
assuming they can negotiate with Lexington, will drill a 3rd well
NW of Lexington assuming they acquire the land. There is no
expansion of the water permit required to serve this project other
than amending the application to include this land at the point of
beneficial use. If we can't get central water we have no project.
There are 2 wells at this time, both serve Lexington and Trail
Creek. It is likely a third development can be served also.
Public Testimony:
Norm Waugh, Olani Beal and Richard Meiers
Public hearing closed at 8:50 p.m.
Concerns of the public: density, safety of children living in an
area with a rim and a canal, the canal goes underground. Other
concerns were the erosion and water supply. The rim lots are a
concern and ask for additional setbacks on those lots and define
those setbacks in the covenants of the subdivision.
Moved by BRINTON and seconded by HINMAN to continue this hearing
until the next scheduled meeting in order to give the developer
some opportunity to explore open space and pathways in the plat and
to consider this project as a PUD. AYE: BRINTON, HINMAN, BERENT.
ABSTAIN: BRADLEY. MOTION CARRIED.
ADA COUNTY TRANSMITTAL 93-04-PDR/OSPREY RIDGE: After extensive
discussion regarding the subdivision consisting of 79 acres, 15
lots, a motion was made by BRINTON and seconded by HINMAN to
recommend approval as long as sewer lines are on the street side of
the lots wherever it is possible. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
ADA COUNTY TRANSMITTAL 93-02-PDR/93-02-ZA/NORTH EAGLE 51
(GOLDRIDGE): Presentation made by Bob Parson for the project. The
project consists of 43 acres, 18 lots. The smallest lot is 2 acres
and the largest is 2.36 acres. He believes the project is
compatible with the adjacent property and Eagle Comprehensive Plan.
Moved by BRADLEY and seconded by HINMAN to approve the project as
described with the recommendation received by staff, subject to the
Fisher St., on the East side of Eagle road lining up Goldridge Dr.
to the West side of Eagle Road. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
STATE OF IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: Dick Critser. Mr.
Critser approached the Commission regarding the State gravel site
off Dickey Rd and Hill Rd. After the use for gravel is complete
they would like to turn the ground over to the City of Eagle. They
will return the land to a developable state with fine soil. They
would like to see a recreational purpose used there. Moved by
HINMAN and seconded by BRADLEY to approve the concept of the plan
presented unanimously. That plan should include a park and
swimming pool. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
