PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Vice-Chairman Brinton announced it is the time and the place for the Public Hearing.
A. Conditional Use (CU-11-96) Idaho Transportation Department, represented by
Doug Chase, is requesting conditional use approval for gravel crushing and hot plant
operation for the construction of the new State Highway 55 alignment. The site is located
north of Hill Rd. In the newly acquired right of way,~þpfôX1imately 1/4 mile west of
Horseshoe Bend Rd.

tlis keslthe entire operation on site and is not proposing to deliver
I tOth . solt~y for the Highway 55 construction project. There is actually
ditiônaIIU i L..lrime Earth and Idaho Sand and Gravel which encompasses
this land. Staff recommends approval, it is a temporary conditional use permit, with site
specific conditions and standard conditions in the report.
EPORT: MARK BUTLER: Overview of the staff report.
FARNWORTH: Are they actually going to be crushing at this site?
BUTLER: I think the Applicant can give you the details better. I believe the answer to your
question is yes.
BRINTON: Is the Applicant present and would he please step forward.
Public Testimony:
Doug Chase
Project Development Engineer
ITD, District III
Chinden Blvd.
Boise, Idaho
As you have been made aware there already is a Conditional Use Permit for a crushing
operation at this location. We are requesting that we have one in our name so it is made
available to our Contractor. The ability to place this operation at this location will save the
taxpayers money as opposed to having to go somewhere else. As well save the
Contractor time and to obtain his own source. You are probably familiar with the project.
It starts at State Street, goes to Beacon Light Road and then pass Shadow Valley Golf
Course. The property in question is between Hill Road and Floating Feather Road.
FARNWORTH: The property you are talking about is North of Hill Road. Is it just the right
of way land the State has acquired to put this road through. Is this the only property you
are talking about.
APPLICANT: Our proposal is to have this operation within the highway right of way. North
of Hill Road.
BRINTON: Just for clarification purposes. You are not intending to obtain gravel from any
of the other adjacent locations. That all of the gravel will be obtained from within the right
of way. Is that correct?

APPLICANT: We are intending to have the operation of
If the Contractor finds it necessary to go somewhere else to obtain gravel that
ei up to his discretion.
BRINTON: What are your hours of operation that you are proposing?
APPLICANT: We are attempting to provide the avenue for the contractor if he wishes to
place this operation at that location. His operations would have to met whatever
requirements that you or Division of Environmental Quality, or whoever may have
jurisdiction would apply. So I can't answer that.
BRINTON: What are the plans for the clean up of the plant once it is complete?
APPLICANT: The operation will be located within the right-of-way and it will have to be
removed at the end of the project because that is where the road will be located.
DISCUSSION
APPLICANT: It will be a four lane highway from State Highway 44, which is State Street,
to Beacon Light Road and then it will go through Beacon Light Road a couple hundred feet,
there will be a left turn bay into Beacon Light and into Brookside Lane, it will then narrow
down to a two lane highway with wide shoulders from there to the north end of the Shadow
Valley Golf Course.
MAYER: On State Street from the existing 55 to the new bypass is there still going to be
an area of two lane road there?
APPLICANT: NO. There will be four lanes all the way. With traffic signals at Hill Road
and Floating Feather with left turns lanes at that location.
BRINTON: On State Street, the existing State Street from the existing 55 to the new 55,
is that going to be four lane or two lane?
APPLICANT: That will be widen to a four lane section.

When you say it is standard procedure, what is standàf shave lived through a few
months of asphalt operation for Idaho Sand and Gravel d ~ta.nda,(d is no acceptable.
They were keeping asphalt hot all night. You couldn't h e your witliÇ)ws open at night.

Y:e~ßonable whether that kind of asphalt should be, that kind of stuff that goes into
ir should be around where kids are all the time anyway. We are starting to research
at~ .
NTOI.: Wou to speak. Hearing none we will close the Public
Hearing at this time. Would you like to state anything else Mr. Chase.
APPLICANT: We do have a State owned gravel source which is adjacent to Hill Road.
There is a gravel source owned by ACHD adjacent to Hill Road and right next to that is a
gravel source owned by the State of Idaho and I believe it wouldn't be necessary for use
to obtain any permits to operate a hot plant operation in that location.
BRINTON: Are you aware of any environmental conflicts with the hot plant. Has there
been any studies that you are aware of as far as the affect on humans?
APPLICANT: I am not aware of none. Hot plant operations are required to follow all the
rules and regulations regarding air quality.
FARNWORTH: I lived through the bypass they put on the other end. They didn't start up
the asphalt plant until they were ready to lay it early in the morning and shut it off at night.
That should be a condition that should go on. I am assuming that this highway would
probably be laid the same way. I think we would want to condition it that they just run the
plant during the day while they are laying the asphalt.
MAYER: How many days would you project that it will take to lay this asphalt. How long
will the plant be running?
APPLICANT: I would defer that to the Contractor who is in the audience, I have no idea.
LEGAL COUNSEL: The commission could go ahead and inquire of the contractor directly
at this time.

It states in the specifications 12 hours maximum for crushing and asphalt. I think that
would primarily be day light hours. I would suggest from 6:00 to 6:00 or 7:00 to 7:00. The
asphalt plant would be running fewer hours than that, around 10 hours. The only fumes
that I would know about would be from keeping the asphalt hot. That stuff has to be kept
at about 250 degrees in an insulated closed tank but the venting involved in that.
It is an air quality permitting situation where they have e)~~rernelysensitive to the
fumes. It is controlled. I didn't answer the questions. Util4' paving days. You will

see 12 of those days in May and probably another 18 of those days in
er. This is just a guess.
:I"h s is, they really wouldn't have come in to get permission to
is. There a y i mit to do this on the property. Even if we would turn this
down they could still go ahead and do what they want and since they are following all of
the environmental quality standards I'm not sure that we could say they can't do this.
FARNWORTH: I move that we approve the Conditional Use Permit CU-11-96 Idaho
Transportation Department for temporary gravel crushing and hot plant operation with no
conditions other than the ones that are staff conditions.
MAYER: Are the hours of operation in the staff conditions?
BUTLER: No.
FARNWORTH: Let me change the Motion. I would revise the Motion with the conditions
that the staff has approved, the standard conditions of the staff and site specific conditions
that staff approved plus specific condition that the hot plant and crushing is not running
more than 12 hours during day light hours and Seconded by MAYER.
ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED
BUTLER: Before you move on to the next item, point of interest, Doug Chase is the
gentleman you would need to speak with regarding the concerns you have with the
intersection of Ballantyne and State and Parkinson and State and I thought since he is
here now you might want to ask him some questions.
BRINTON: That was information that we were discussing at our last Planning and Zoning
meeting. It has come to our attention basically visual on our part of the hazard that
appears at the junction of State Street to the West where it meets the by-pass or the
alternate route. #1. The sharp curve, the lack of lighting that you can visually see and
particularly the lighting on the intersection itself of State Street and the Alternate Route on
the West side. One of the arrow signs has been knocked over and I believe you can see
what appears to be someone tried to climb the barrier on the West side. It was reported
on the East Side where State Street dead ends East of Parkinson you have some barriers
at the end of that where there are some black marks at the top of that. People are not
recognizing that the road changes. What happens on the West End at night, it appears as
you go out that way because you see lights coming to you in a straight fashion that the
road is going straight and it doesn't. It was brought to the attention of P&Z that there is a
real safety hazard there. Someone is going to get killed:<IanifiKithe design is pretty poor,
it is a sharp curve and people are not slowing down for il~

HASE: We are aware that there are some concerns at those locations. The
0 sign included luminaries at quite a few locations along the Alternate Route. It
i ôlíc a h th òadway goes through a City the payment for utilities for
I es i . il of that City and apparently the City of Eagle choose not to
p ipatÎ a $d to eliminate the lumination at those locations. The
contract is still open. This is a great opportunity for us to get back together and come to
an agreement for lumination to be included at those locations. It would be the best time
to do that now since we still have a contractor on board, we still have the opportunity to
participate with Federal Funds for those activities. We just need to come to an agreement
with the City of Eagle to pay for the utility costs for that lumination.
DISCUSSION
BUTLER: There are two illumination agreements that I am familiar with. One came through
for Eagle Road and the Alternate Route and that was approved prior to my hiring on here.
The Second one was at the intersection of State Highway 44 and the new connection with
the North/South route of 55 and that was not approved based upon the fact that it was an
intersection of two State highways. I don't remember a request for illumination agreements
at these locations and the City might view these differently since they have more of an
effect with regards to the City. I would recommend that ITD come forward to us with an
illumination agreement for both of those intersections and we will see how City Council
responds.
DOUG CHASE: We would love to do that.
DISCUSSION
B. Rezone (RZ-5-96) McDonalds Corporation, represented by Loy Taylor, is requesting
a rezone from A (agricultural) to C-2 (general business district). The site is located at 434
S. Eagle Rd., near the northeastern corner of Eagle Rd. And the Eagle Alternate Route.
BRINTON: We have a request that this be continued to February 3rd meeting.
STAFF REPORT: MARK BUTLER: The reason for the request is that he had submitted
site designs and now has chosen to change those based upon his conversations with
Albertson's representatives and so we have incorrect site designs.
MAYER: I move that we continue the Rezone (RZ-5-96) and the Conditional Use (CU-
12-96) for McDonalds to February 3,1996, and Seconded by FARNWORTH.

directly behind City Hall. The site is located at 310 E. State St. approximately 200 feet east

BUTLER: This Applicant didn't get their sign posted in time so Staff is recommending that
the item be continued so that there is proper posting. The recommendation would be to
continue it until the meeting of the 13th.
BRINTON: If we can in a motion, I would like to move 6-D and 6-F which is the Facts of

illuminated monument sign for New horizons Day care facility. The site is located on the
north side of State Street at 1740 E. State St., approximately 900 ft. East of Edgewood Ln.
BUTLER: The Applicant is requesting that this item be continued, they are still working on
their landscaping plans and would like the item continued until the meeting of January 21st.

STAFF REPORT: MARK BUTLER: Overview of Staff
immediate comment from our Legal Counsel before I continue, which is whether
recommendations from the Design Review Committee can really be given to the
rr! u Ilfact that three of the five members had to abstain due to a
c nte liêr was not there, the one member that was there made the
'on bdtnò onld.......s.etond it. I don't believe the items that are written here are
a real motion.
LEGAL COUNSEL: Technically I believe the Zoning Administrator is correct. Without a
second to the Motion their action has not legal force. They did not have a voting majority.
At most they could have moved to have that matter just come straight before Planning &
Zoning. This is the most appropriate way to treat that. Your decision will be binding and
if the Applicant or any third party wanted to appeal your decision they could do so to the
City Council. I think you can go ahead and act on that tonight.
BUTLER: It appears that the Applicant has a couple of things they would like to talk to the
Commission about. There is one item that is quite a point of interest and that item is
outlined in Site Specific condition #7. I have given you a copy of a memo dated to day and
I have give a copy to the Applicant. It is stating what would be violations of our current
Design Review Ordinance with regard to set back and lot coverage if this site was
approved. I could not get myself to recommend denial or recommend that the building be
modified. I have worked with Legal Staff quite a bit to come up with some language to
allow the Applicant to take advantage of this building.
BRINTON: The question I would have of Staff is six months a sufficient and realistic time
frame for the Applicant.
BUTLER: Three months is possible. Maybe more than six months is needed. Maybe the
Commission would consider a longer time frame.
Dave Koga
82 E. State Street
Eagle, Idaho
This is the first time we have seen this letter in regard to #7 in regard to the set backs. We
would like to work with the City on this problem. This would probably take more than six
months but we are willing to work with this Design Review Ordinances. I guess our only
comment on this is that we should look at more than a year to go through this process.
The other item, since it was not a recommendation from Design Review, we would comply
with those recommendations.
BRINTON: Based on the fact that it wasn't a official rev! y~esign Review it might be
well for you to go through what you plan to do. Can you a moment and dothat, either
you or your people? What we are here tonight is to ap veth~ actûal designrevi~w.

installed along Eagle Road and Aikens. We have to provide 50% glass on the garage. All
the other site specific and standard conditions requirements are approved.
DISCUSSION
Franz Witte
9770 W. State
Boise, Idaho
It appears we have an unique situation here and that these properties were not taken into
consideration when the Ordinance was developed. We are very agreeable, we want to do
what we believe Eagle is interested in. Retention of the existing trees. It becomes an
issue of where what is most important for this piece of property, do we want to have
expansion of the building so that we have 40% of this ground cover at the loss of trees,
really what do you people want to have. It is a unique situation and it maybe something
as simple as putting language in the Ordinance that judgments may be made by Planning
& Zoning or the Council to take unique situations into consideration.
FARNWORTH: I have got to agree with what he said. We have other projects that are
going to come forth in this particular area or other areas. We need to really look at this and
see if we can't fit some language into our code that would give us some latitude to look at
a particular nice looking property.
BUTLER: I would like to clarify a couple of points. This italic language could actually be
placed with condition #4. Which is the condition that the garage door should be replaced
with glass. I would rather see that than see a deferral. I think they would rather see Code
Amendments. I think that paragraph I wrote there could apply to Site Specific Condition
#4 and #5. #5 would be the condition for the store front going into that garage.
DISCUSSION
BRINTON: Lets see if we have a clear understanding of what direction we are going. On
Site Specific #4 which has to do with the garage doOr dirêplacing it with frame and
glass, Item #4 on Page 10 of 12, I believe it is the Commi nsdesir:e to continue that and
relook the Code requirements on that and the same wi 1êm'7, the frontbuilding set

d the side building set backs, have that reconsidered as far as the Code goes.
where we are talking about building the enclosed trash container that we could do
a . Pfr~ry . to e at and as long as they were meeting the requirements of
a nsideiisto ot closed in an inside storage, then they need to construct a
J capêd, r d 'closure. I think we could come in and do that. The only
other thing I see is on the recommendation that is on Page 1 of 1, the Motion that was
made that wasn't a Motion because it was never seconded is the Bonding on the sidewalk
and the street side for Aikens Road. You need to make a decision on how you want to
handle that. It sounds to me that what you are looking at there is have them be required
to put the 10' sidewalk in from Eagle Road to the eastern edge of the building and then
bond for the rest.
DISCUSSION
BRINTON: I will state the Motion. On Design Review DR-23-96 The Land Group
Professional Office it is moved that we accept the site specific recommendations as shown
by Staff and also the Standard Conditions as shown by Staff on the Site Specific location,
Item #4 we will postpone that for the actual implementation of that for a one (1) year time
frame to modify Code as we believe that was not the intent of the existing Code to make
a complete building modifications in order to meet the Code and the same thing would
apply with Item #7 of Site Specific Conditions as far as the building set back goes. On Item
#6 of the Site Specific Conditions we would allow the trash to be placed within the garage
or within enclosed within the building, if at anytime it becomes not within the building then
they have to construct the appropriate trash enclosure as outlined by Code and they would
also then provide a 10' width of sidewalk at the time ACHD does their work on Eagle Road,
the 10' sidewalk would be along Aiken Road to the East point of their building and they
will bond for the remainder across the Eastern most portion of their property until such
time as we have a design for the entire Aiken Road.
MAYER: That was my Motion, and Seconded by FARNWORTH.
DISCUSSION
BUTLER: Point of clarification. You didn't get the deferral on Site Specific Condition #5
and I just wanted to clarify if you wanted that same postponement.
BRINTON: I didn't get #5, it needs to be under the same Code scenario as #4 and #7.
With that clarification do I hear an OK from the one making the Motion.
MAYER: Yes and Seconded by FARNWORTH.

C" .. .. g~sign Review (DR-25-96) Pastor Bill Hereford, with the New heights Baptist
C rch, is requesting Design Review Approval for a new 6 foot high monument sign. The
r~po fib t~~ at the southeast corner of Mission Drive and Eagle Road,
xitnåte rthiibf State Street.
STAFF REPORT: MARK BUTLER: Overview of Staff Report
Staff had recommended approval I think I missed what the Design Review caught. Which
was that the sign didn't seem to have a character from the 1870's to 1930's look. The
design didn't have any building materials that were similar to the building. I probably
should have recommended denial. The Design Review Committee did recommended
denial based on the fact that the sign does not provide a turn of the century appearance
and does not have any design features that are similar to the existing Church building.
FARNWORTH: I have a question for Legal Counsel. I have property directly across the
street from this, would I be in conflict with this.
LEGAL COUNSEL: You have a potential conflict of interest if you believe that your
situation being across the street would cause you to make a decision one way or the other.
In other words not have an unbiased decision.
FARNWORTH: As I saw this I wasn't excited, I had a lot of questions about this. I really
don't have a lot of problem with it other than I didn't particularly like the sign that was going
to be sitting there. Maybe I better not. I think I will excuse myself on this item.
BRINTON: We do not have an Applicant here tonight?
BUTLER: No we do not. I mailed him the notice.
BRINTON: I have a question of Staff. It is hard to tell from the information that has been
given to us whether this piece of property that they are proposing to place this on is owned
by them. Do you know whether it is or not?
BUTLER: The applicant told me it was. I asked him that question.
DISCUSSION
BRINTON: I guess I have mixed emotions. It doesn't have the appearance of the existing
church. Does it specify in our Code that the monument sign must match the existing
building or structure. I think that would be crucial as far as that goes.

MAYER: I make a Motion that we continue this to give them a chance to change the size
of the reader board and also to show us how this meets the design of the building. To

D. Design Review (DR-26-96) Dennis Baker, with B.B. One loC., is requesting
approval of a landscape plan for the Channel Center Subdivision. The 18.2 acre site is
located at the southwest corner of the Alternate Route and Eagle Road.
STAFF REPORT: MARK BUTLER: Overview of Staff Report
The Design Review made two recommendations. #1-Proposed unmowed grass between
the pathway and the barrow pit along Eagle Road shall be green throughout the year. #2-
That the variety of trees proposed to be along the river shall be given additional
consideration to be similar to what is currently along the river. The Applicant agreed to
provide some trees to what are similar to what is down by the river.
DISCUSSION
MAYER: I make a motion that we approve Design Review DR-26-96 Channel Center
landscaping and that the Applicant give the variety of trees that he is going to put along the
river, that he bring that back before Design Review and have it approved by Design
Review before signing of the final plat by the Engineer and Seconded by FARNWORTH.

I need to clarify an important fact. The report says the A
. I~family dwelling SO' from the river, It is actually SO' from the floodway line. A 100'
thefloodway line is required. The floodway line is a bit away from the edge of the
.::uh1fôlí pqftstill stands.
ggHcant. I would like to bring this forward to the Commission

at this time.
Terry Peugh
9SS0 Bethel Court
Boise, Idaho
I have been involved with this property for about 3-1/2 years. There are two building pad
sites on this large piece of property. One of them has a house on it already. Mr. Kerstein
purchased the other 11 acres and wants to build a house on the remaining buildable area.
By buildable area I mean outside the floodway district, outside the 100 year flood.
Unfortunately when I staked the house I used an architect disc that had SO' to far towards
the floodway district boundary. I was aware of this only I didn't catch it in time. There is
two options here. One is to move the house back where it should be SO' or apply for a
variance. The owner wanted to apply for a variance. There is a bluff up there. By granting
this variance the house is more situated not to disturb the use from up above. We are not
requesting a variance from the set back from the river. It is from a floodway line that goes
through a vacant field. I can show the Commission some pictures. (Commissioners' look
at pictures supplied by the Applicant and discussion in regards to same). We are providing
access to the Pioneer Irrigation District. We have put some gravel in the turn around area
near the dam.
DISCUSSION
FARNWORTH: I'm pretty liberal. My feeling is, if the water is going to flood in one spot SO'
is not going to make any difference, it is going to flood the same direction. I realize it was
a man made mistake and we don't punish anyone for making a mistake. Even if he moves
his house back SO' we have the same amount of height, dirt, flooding, the same amount
of water moving. What difference does it make, especially if it is not right against the river.
MAYER: What Farrin said I agree with it. By moving the house it is not going to change
the elevation or any of the ground. It's just going to change the position of the house. I
walked the property and there was standing water and there was one spot where there
was a building pad. The building pad is going to be there the only thing is the placement
of the house. In this situation I would say I would find no problem with putting the house
where they have it right now.
