Doug Russell, representing The Land Group, introduces the issue. An overhead of the property is shown, and a description is given.

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.
