comprehensive plan amendment from Medium Density Residential (four dwelling units
per acre maximum) and Industrial to Mixed Use and Commercial. The 9.6-acre and 1-
acre sites are located on the southwest and southeast corners of State Highway 55 and
Hill Road at 2805 and 2809 Hill Road.
Doug Russell, representing The Land Group, introduces the issue. An overhead of the
property is shown, and a description is given.
Butler gives a report on the request for approval of a comprehensive plan amendment for
CP A-3-98.
Public Comment:
Lenee Pitts, 2835 E. Hill Road. Southeast corner. Says no to a convince store. Wants to
keep rural atmosphere.
Sharon Patterson, 2805 E. Hill Road. Owner of the property in question. Has limited
options as to use of the property.
Stacia Patterson, 5001 Old Valley Road, has nothing more to add.
Angela Deckers, 2249 Dicky Circle, president of Evans Sub homeowners, to voice
concern in opposition to the proposal. Feels the MU conflicts with the surrounding area,
and this would set a precedent. Concerns with the traffic flow. Eight individuals raise
their hands in agreement with the statements made. Asks the Commission to deny
recommendation of this item.
Jody Lewis has no comment.
Diana Roman, 2835 E. Hill Road, boards her horses where the gas station is located.
Feels the new use would be hazardous to the horses health.
Louise Myatt, 2201 Dicky Circle, , no comment.
Erv Ballou, 433 Rene Place, no comment.
Sharon Barnard, 212 E. Ranch Drive, Eagle City Clerk has received a letter stating wood
burning stoves a considered unhealthy. Would like the PUD to require no wood burning
stoves or fireplaces. With the addition of more traffic the air quality would definitely be
worsened.
Robert Beckwith, 2260 Dicky Court, in support ofthe R2 comprehensive plan. There is
an ease of access to all facilities currently. Opposed to the change.
Steve Case, 2498 W. Thorgarr, concerned with the higher density, no need for business
development at this time. Feels this would take business away from downtown.
Sandy Beckman, 2871 Hill Road, has small children and is opposed to having a service
station one house away.
Steve Deckers, 2249 Dicey Circle, goes back in history to some of the discussion one
year ago. At that time light industrial was a concern. Now is a good time to define what
should go into this area between the two highways. Feels we need to stick to the existing
Comprehensive Plan. Don't rush into anything. Refers to several statements Mark Butler
made in previous meetings.
Craig Van Engelen, Marketing for Great Sky Estates. Feels MU would buffer Great Sky
from the highway
Phil Carney, 1353 Travino, wants to go on record for the city to continue with the current
comp plan
Glida Bothwell, opposed to the change, and definitely opposed to the gas station.
Gary Gear, 1675 E. Stonybrook Court, opposed to the change. Would like both the
Commission and the City Council to listen to the citizens of Eagle.
Kathy Stripmatter, 1520 Rush Road, does not want the comprehensive plan changed.
Dale Domerece, E Skokie Court. Stay with the current comprehensive plan.
Mylan Taylor, 464 , opposed to the change. Brings the proposed park to the attention
of the Commission. Keep Eagle rural.
Doug Russell has a rebuttal. This is only a proposal of a concept. This vision for
professional offices was one of the options.
Brinton closes the public hearing on item CP A-3-98
Brinton consults with the City Attorney on whether the Commission needs to discuss the
item at this time or can discuss all the items after all the items have been heard.
A. CP A-6-97 - City Initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendments - City of Ea~le:
The City of Eagle is proposing to amend its Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map.
The Plan and Map are official policy documents for the City and its Area of Impact and
are intended to provide the vision, goals, policies and implementation actions that will
guide the community's development.
The Plan addresses the following components: Property Rights, Population and Growth,
Economic Development, Public Services, School Facilities, Land Uses, Natural
Resources and Hazardous Areas, Transportation, Parks, Recreation and Open Space,
Housing, Community Design and Cultural Resources. The Plan also includes a Land Use
Map that, in part, illustrates types of land uses and residential densities for Eagle and its
Area oflmpact.
NOTE: The public hearing for this item should be held after the following
Comprehensive Plan amendment applications. This is to help assure that comments
regarding a specific application are made during the hearing for that specific
application and not solely during the hearing for this item (CP A-6-97). After the
public hearing are closed, deliberation should take place on this item (CP A-6-97)
first.
Brinton introduces Nancy Taylor, of JUB Engineering, and describes the process of the
proceedings.
Nancy Taylor, 250 S. Beachwood, planner and facilitator of the amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. Nancy speaks on the draft of the proposed comprehensive plan
and the focus groups. Four items were to be revised.
1. Transportation and land use.
2. Economic development and downtown.
3. Parks, recreation and open space.
4. Schools, public services and utilities.
Three of the four chair persons ofthe focus groups are here.
Nancy introduces Gary Blaylock. Chairman of the Economic Development Focus Group.
Describes the process his focus group went through and how they arrived at the end
result. A map of the area is shown.
Angela Deckers, Chairperson of the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Focus Group.
Parks have been and are of great concern for the citizens of Eagle. Open space has also
been of great importance to the focus group for the comprehensive plan.
Phil Whitener, Land Use and Transportation. Refers to verbiage on page 6-1 for
reference to land use. Phil explains the data accumulation and the formula used to arrive
at the graphs shown on page 6-3 through 6-10.
Farnworth asks Whitener ifthe focus group discussed anything about how the community
would purchase a dairy farm to support the proposed plan.
Whitener makes it clear that the city could not finance the purchase of the land, but the
focus group was to look at traffic patterns. It was not the focus groups intent to make
certain a land owner makes a profit on the selling of his land.
Farnworth asks ifthe build-out results were discussed.
Whitener responds no.
Trent asks what formula was used to arrive at the build-out lot density balance.
Whitener explains.
Nancy Taylor presents the Public Services, Utilities and Schools focus groups
recommendations.
Jim Grubber, 1405 E. Travino, Eagle Sewer District. Requests that any changes to the
density of the comprehensive plan be reviewed by the sewer district. Eagle Sewer is in
favor of cluster housing.
Greg Goade, 3125 N. 22od, Boise, as a long time resident and current land owner he is
opposed to the new comprehensive plan.
Gary Goade, 1785 Stardust, Reno, NY. R2 has been the zoning density for many years
and plans for development have been focused on that plan.
Bill Selvage, 1992 Spring, Boise, verbiage to FEMA maps, should be revised. Trade-off
for habitat open space needs to be reworded. Limitation of residential growth. . .
Support the downtown business district and any effort by the City of Eagle to promote the
economic development of that area. Selvage refers to the fact that the draft states there
are maps included, but have been omitted.
Delmar Vale, 725 W. Floating Feather, compliment the focus groups. Need to expedite
the comprehensive plan updates. Focus on the millions of dollars to develop and pennies
to maintain.
Gary Blaylock, 931 State, discusses growth. According to AP A the growth in Eagle will
slow down. With the current plan Eagle will not be at build-out for many years. Large
and small lot size is relative.
Tony Loucks, 839 N. Linder Road, why don't we leave it at two houses per acre.
Sharon Barnard, 212 E. Ranch Drive, page 2-6 property rights, consider grandfather
rights for individuals who have invested money in their property. Page 6-7 land use, air
quality based on new federal standards. Page 8-9 roads, Stierman and Ranch, would like
to see them made into local roadways.
Pat Miller, 959 Preakness, wants Eagle to remain rural, define rural, at least an acre.
Dave Brady, 909 Arlington Dr., moved to Eagle on an acre lot. Would like to see Eagle
remain a low density community. Quality oflife is more important than a dollar in his
pocket. Owns Copy Express.
Mike Siler, representative of CPR Eagle, shows an overhead and enters and exhibit.
Trent asks Siler if the demand reflects the graph shown on the exhibit. Siler answers no.
Angela Deckers, 2249 Dicky Circle, Evans Subdivision #2 and #3. Support the
comprehensive plan as it stands now.
Steve Bradbury, 877 Main Street, Boise, Dennis Baker and Associates, will submit a
written response but now will just suggest that the Commission look at the projections
and compare the reality of what gets approved. Projections overstate reality. Need to
look at demand. Gather professional input. The format of the document makes the draft
very hard to follow, need to make it consistent.
Don Nikrun, 1403 Mace Road, the draft document is very hard to follow. Would urge
the Commission not to rush to complete the comprehensive plan amendment. Would like
to focus on how this comp plan will effect the future of Eagle. If the downtown of Eagle
dissipates you can not recoup that. Page 5-4 has good points. Page 6-3 addresses what
should occur in the southeast quadrant.
Gail Mckee, 1887 W. Beacon Light Road, agrees with keeping the rural atmosphere, and
the flood plain.
Greg Johnson, 3210 N. Mitchell, just purchased land in Canterbury, support the lower
density. Projections are understated! The citizens of Eagle have rights as well as the
current land owners who want to develop their land.
A. CPA-I-98 & RZ-2-98 - Eaele River Development (Grossman Properties) - Eaele
River. LLC: Eagle River, LLC, represented by Bill Clark, is requesting approval of a
comprehensive plan amendment from Public/Semi-Public to Commercial and from
Medium Density Residential to Commercial, Mixed Use, Public/Semi-Public; and a
rezone from A (Agriculture) and M-IA (Industrial Park District) to PS-DA (Public/Semi-
Public), R-4-DA (Residential), C-3-DA (Highway Business District), and MU-DA
(Mixed Use) with a development agreement. A portion of the proposed change from the
residential land use designation to the Public/Semi Public land use designation and M-IA
zoning designation to PS-DA zoning designation is City initiated for a City park. The 93-
acre site is located on the southeast corner of State Highway 44 and S. Eagle Road.
NOTE: CPA-I-98 & RZ-2-98 should be heard together since they are significantly
interrelated by means of the development agreement. However, CPA-I-98 must be
acted on prior RZ-2-98.
The public hearing signs for these applications (CP A-I-98 & RZ-2-98) were not posted
10 days prior to the meeting date, therefore, the Public Hearing for the applications can
not be held on October 19, 1998.
B. CP A-2-98 - Comprehensive Plan Amendment for BramHall Subdivision - Ro~er
Co Crandlemire: Roger C. Crandlemire, represented by Roylance & Associates, is
