Written testimony: Mike Wortman: opposed.
Mary Berent presented the staff report and indicated that the
property was not properly posted and would need to be re-noticed.
She suggested a Development Agreement be included in the notice.
The P&Z Commission will hear the presentation from Albertson's
representatives tonight and receive public input for those present
that choose to give public testimony; however the public hearing
will be continued until October 2 and comply with notice
procedures. The hearing tonight will be conducted without response
from the Commission.
~ ~ic~=: Albertson's ~torney began with the presentation of
the Albertson's proposal. Kevin Mortensen, Albertson's Real estate
Manager, continued by outlining that the Eagle Albertson's plan has
been a 3 year project. When the project started it was thought
that Eagle would start an urban renewal process, but the City
decided not to do that. The representatives for Albertson's
reviewed feedback from Eagle residents through the 3 year period.
They hope to have addressed the concerns of the people. First, the
original plan was not specific. They are now presenting a specific
plan.
An overhead was presented to the audience showing the proposed
Albertson's building, site plan, landscaping, trees and street
configuration. They expect the traffic generated will come from a
2 mile radius, thus not generating additional traffic but local
people shopping in the area. They feel they meet the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan for community planning and are not creating an
additional city center but establishing a major retail business in
the downtown area.
Testimony: Opposed
Chuck Bower

In favor:
Pauline Hineman
Reed Merrill
Those in favor: a convenient place for the people. This will
generate taxes. Human resource reasons for the benefits of the
community. Young people work at Albertson's. These people will be
employed where they don't have the ability to be employed in Eagle
at this time. This is an Idaho Corporation and very civic minded.
Concerns of the public: traffic congestion, generating additional
congestion, impact on local residents and businesses, concern for
2
neighbors in the area with noise generated by constant activity of
freight trucks and customers. Ballantyne Ditch Company
representative wants a guarantee in writing as to what the
agreement will be concerning the ditch.
Mary Berent was asked to contact ACHD and ITD representatives to be
here on October 2.
Moved by BRINTON and second by MAILE to continue the hearing
until October 2 in order to re-notice the public hearing and to
provide time for the developer to provide additional information.
ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
PUBLIC HEARING/AERIE CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION/CUP-PRELIMINARY PLAT:
Developer: John Browning
Location: W side of Edgewood Ln., a part of Grossman Subdivision,
behind The Trolley and U-Do-It-Car Wash.
Proposal: a re-subdividing of an existing lot for 24 condominiums
on 1.08 acres with a gross density of 22.2 dwelling units per acre
in a C2 zoning district.
Mary Berent presented the staff report on this project and informed
the Commissioners that by Eagle's definition this project is not a
condominium subdivision but a subdivision of 4-plexes.
Written testimony: opposed - Dennis and Nancy Bragdon, Richard and
Terri Walker, Gary and Mary McCoy, Leonard and Sherrie Wilson, and
a petition signed by 84 Eagle residents.
The applicant presented the proj ect to the Commissioners and
pictures were distributed to the Commission. Mr. Browning stated
that each unit will have a garage and parking spaces. The density
will be 22.2 units to the acre. This development would generate
144 trips per day according to ACHD, less than a commercial use.
This project lends itself to older retired people or young couples.
