Concern: Floods and the floodplain. . .
Monty Marcus, 605 Rooster, has comments about:
Dry Creek Ditch, floods, appreciates the low number of units, appreciates location of
units, concern with density, objects to building in the floodplain, concern that there are no
flood measurements.
Elenore Chase, 70 W. Floating Feather. Speaks on flooding, the planned ponds, wells,
drainage, good concept, well thought out.
Tom Cornell, 470 E. Floating Feather. Would like his property to remain the same, so he
can have large animals in his yard and an eight foot fence. Although this development
eliminates his current home, he sti1l1ives there and has not received any offer to purchase
this land.
Russ Buchard, 235 Floating Feather Road. Comments on the conservation easement,
floodplain, would like to see large shade trees, instead of all small fruit trees. A
comprehensive flood study needs to be done. Liability of the City when flood waters
come.
Julie Campbell, 199 Rooster. Loves the wildlife, proposed neighborhood ball fields will
directly effect her and her neighbors (lighting), flooding, what happens to the large
number of people and the impact on roads, and schools, does not understand the situation
with household water, is there a minimum sq. ft. on the homes? Resident for two years,
knew this area would be developed, but still doesn't like it.
Bud Scarf, 133 Rooster. Has lived in this area since 1971. Discusses flooding, feels the
culvert is not adequate to handle the flood water.
Adrian Current, also on Rooster. Moved into home in 1993, and knew this land would be
developed. Discusses flooding, density, changes in the plan, but the proposal has not
really addressed the issues of concern.
John Burke, 287 Rooster, concerns are the floodway, the effect on his property, and the
infrastructure.
Dale Domerese, 2306 E. Skokie Court, concerns about large growth in the community
and the effect on the residents, sewer, schools, traffic.
Paul Sadlek, 171 W. Lance Lane, concerns about infrastructure, schools, traffic. Does
the approval of this development set a president for other developments? Meridian is
ruined lets not ruin Eagle with over-development.
Kathy Pennisi, 3675 N. Downing Place, concerns with density, schools, traffic,
comprehensive plan has overall goal of keeping Eagle rural. Flood plain issues.
City attorney restates that the comprehensive plan and the zoning ordinance in effect at
the time of the application is the set of guidelines that the developer must follow. The
city will not be liable for any individual living in floodplain and being subjected to flood
waters.
Brinton addresses the issue of the growth and the effect on the schools. Reads a letter
from Jim Carberry, Meridian School District.
Adrian Current, speaks again, about the comprehensive plan, and the ability of the
community to work together.
Tom Cornell, 470 E. Floating Feather, could the ball field be designated as the flood
way?
Dennis Whitmore, 319 Dewey, SecretarylPresident of Lexington Hills, Inc. speaks.

ofthis land.

development. Trent has concerns with lots backing up to Rooster, and the variety of size

backs up? Where would the water go? Farnworth voices concerns with the number of
homes and the lot sizes, pathways and 'you can't walk on my pathways!' attitude of some
other developments within Eagle, want new homeowners to be aware of the frequency of
flooding, fences should be addressed by staff. Brinton discusses sidewalks, the
