PUBLIC HEARING/Ordinance #273 - Private Streets: Chairman BRADLEY announced it is the time and the place for a public hearing regarding the application for an ordinance amendment to consider private streets in the City of Eagle Applicant: Dennis Baker Steve Bradbury, attorney, addressed the ordinance for the commission. This ordinance enables private streets under circumstances the city deems appropriate. This ordinance leaves it to the city's discretion on its needs. The ordinance needs a definition of a private street, reference to Idaho Code for design of highways, roads, streets and highways, a mechanism for building to specific standards. It needs an explanation as to who is designing and building it and a maintenance schedule. The ordinance should call for an independent inspection by an independent firm paid for by the developer for certification of street design as it is built. The City Attorney noted that Eagle Code, Sections 9-3-2 and 9-4-1 and subsections are not intended to be applicable to private streets. Wayne Stollfus: in favor Wayne Giltcow: in favor - aesthetics Moved by BRI NTON and seconded by to FARNWORTH to leave the public hearing open until the next regularly scheduled meeting when Mr. Bradbury can submit the final 3 draft with the proposed changes at this meeting. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED. PUBLIC HEARING/ORDINANCE 269 - Amending Title 8 - Planned Unit Developments (continued) : Chairman BRADLEY announced it is the time and the place for a public hearing regarding the application by the City for an amendment to Title 8 regarding Planned Unit Developments. As a referral from the City Council, can a PUD be developed in phases in order to make it and the subdivision code consistent? The PUD code, as it is now, leaves out the ability to phase. The code mandates that the project commence and be completed in a year. If there is going to be a phase, each unit or combination of the approved portion needs to meet the requirements of the zone. The City Attorney addressed the sequence of time, first for plan approval, the second sequence from preliminary to final approval. If it is to be a phased project each unit of the project, or prior approved portion, meet the density requirements of the underlying zone. The City Attorney, Mona Mack suggested the following: B5 would be a good subsection to expand to address the concern for design, to read "be accepting from design requirements as warranted by the design of other amentities incorporated in a final development plan". That had the language," which is the subject of the application and such other final development plans of the PUD which have been earlier approved" . This is an amendment to 8-6-3. Testimony: Stacia Buffenbarger: will submit questions in writing The public hearing closed at 10:45. Moved by BRINTON and seconded by FARNWORTH to continue this item to the next meeting for final draft changes. MOTION WITHDRAWN.
