a grocery store.

Location: Near the northeast corner of Eagle Road and the future
Eagle Alternate Route (bypass).
Rezone from R5 to C2, with a Development Agreement
Don Knickhram, attorney representing the project, stated he will
comment and another representative will outline the project for the
Commission. This application requests a rezone from R5 to C2.
This application was filed in August and heard in September, but
not properly noticed. They are willing to go forward with a
development agreement. Mr. Knickhram called the attention of the
Commission to the "Sensitive Areas" outlined in the Comprehensive
Plan and said this area is sensitive as it is the key or heart of
the city. They meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. They
plan on opening prior to Thanksgiving 1996.
The proposed development agreement was introduced.

and direction of Albertson's.

Concerns of the public: does not meet the Comprehensive Plan, needs
a traffic impact study, concerns about elimination of trees and
replanting with inferior trees. Traffic is a maj or concern.
There was additional concern regarding Second Street not meeting
the standards required for heavy trucks and equipment. There were
objections to fencing on Second Street. Questions were brought
up about materials, sidewalks, berms and landscaping. The location
is predominately residential. This plan does not have a village
feel or scale in this location especially with the sign proposed.
The sign should be a smaller scale. Berms should protect the
existing property owners.
The public hearing closed at 11:00 p.m.
Moved by Merrill and seconded by to MAILE to continue the matter in
order to have ITD and ACHD representatives present at the next
meeting. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
