State Street, handouts of overhead slides are distributed to the Commission. Roylance introduces the project and explains the overhead slides. Brinton asks Roylance to explain the design planned for this development. Roylance has turned in a land plan for the development, but it is not a final design of the area. The approximate number of units would be around 160. However, the project planned is a quality project with many common lots. Vaughan reviews the staff report. Staff recommends denial of the Comprehensive Plan amendment for BramHall Subdivision. Wilson arrives at 6:55 p.m. Diane Desortis, 105 W. Rush Court, objects to the out of control growth, due to lack of land and resources and infrastructure. Delmar Vail, 725 W. Floating Feather, 4th or 5th time he has spoken on this area's development. Opposed to the issue. Arlee Kawakawi, 1101 W. Floating Feather, opposes the change in the comprehensive plan amendment. Sharon Barnard, 212 E. Ranch, gives the Commission a handout. Discusses traffic, air quality, density. Objects to the lack of plan on developer. Marie Alder, 641 W. Rush Court. Objects to the change in the density in the comprehensive plan. This will increase the potential for gang activity. This will have a negative impact on the rural atmosphere and conditions in the resources. Tom Schmalz, Central District Health Department. Sewer is reasonable, but if there is septic applications they will be denied. This development will be required to be on central sewer system. Recommends denial of this project unless served by the sewer. Invited by the engineer. Jere Cochran, 1087 W. Floating Feather. Lives just south ofthe project. This project will totally disrupt his lifestyle. Opposed to the zoning change and the project. Pat Miller, 959 Preakness, concern about the sewer system. Does not want a change in the comprehensive plan. The infrastructure is not prepared for this type ofproject. Opposed. Betty Miller, 959 Preakness, comprehensive plan is like a mission statement. It says where do we, as a group, want to go. Changes should reflect the good ofthe whole community, not the interests of one individual. Gives numbers that would have an effect on the infrastructure. Are there already housing developments that have smaller lots planned for a diversified income group. Dave Brady, 909 Arlington, reviews Idaho State Code. Roger Warren, 350 Stillwell Drive, how will this development effect the air quality in Eagle? Opposed. Eleanore Chase, 70 W. Floating Feather Road, has lived in Eagle for forty years. Would like to subdivide her property at some time in the future. Her property is adjacent to the property at issue. Has been a farmer for many years and it is a lot of work to maintain the land. Due to the subdivisions already created her land has been chopped up and taken away to accommodate the individuals residing in Eagle now. Feels she should be able to develop her land. Don Gentile, 1067 Arlington Drive, why have a comprehensive plan if you are not going to stick by it. The developer has no plan, how could you possibly approve it. Opposed. Mike Sieler, 1125 Steeple View Drive, a show of hands of individuals in the group (CPR of Eagle) he represents is shown. Opposed. Pati Strittmatter, 1520 Rush Road, why do we need 5 and 6 thousand sq. ft. homes? Opposed. Susie Kerr, 252 W. Meadow Ridge, address has just changed. Lives just next to Eleanore Chase. Not opposed to growth, but opposed to high density. Question about mixed density in the new comprehensive plan. Concerned about polluting the irrigation water. Opposed to comprehensive plan changes. Scott Nordstrom, 2590 W. Timber Drive, Redwood Creek spokesman. Wants clarity on the procedure for Commission's voting on this issue. Concerns about infrastructure needed for future growth. Unclear about the new comprehensive plan and the continued growth plan. How many changes will there be in the future? Somewhere you have to draw the line. Crandlemire development will set a precedent. Mardie Taylor, 832 Hialeah, most of the points she would like to make have already been mentioned. Would like to see Eagle follow the current comprehensive plan. To deviate from the comprehensive plan is false advertisement. Ken Gee, 112 S. Blackwood Avenue, feels the community is selfish to decide how much the farmers should get for their land. Thank goodness others don't have the ability to decide how much he makes. Has taught in many of the surrounding schools. Reads a constitutional amendment, and due process oflaw. Many people here want to enjoy the land of others that they have said they could not afford. Plunder verses work. Feels the developer has a right to develop his land. If people want to enjoy land they need to purchase it. Edward Kothegard, 2373 N. Ram Avenue, wants to stick with the current comprehensive plan. Brinton announces a ten minute break. Larren Walker, 301 Meadow Ridge, wanted to live in Eagle the entire time he was growing up. Just completed a new home in Eagle. Comprehensive plan, who deserves what?, plan needs to be followed. Does not feel income factor holds much weight. Suggest that we develop land already zoned high density and after that is developed, look at changing the zone in other areas. Opposed to changes in the comprehensive plan. Russ Buschart, against the project. Many individuals who are against this project are not here tonight because they have been at other meetings and have not been heard. Diane Schlekaway, 1173 E. Rush Road, is against the development and the changes in the comprehensive plan. Does not want current comp plan changed. Phil Carney, 1353 Travino, does not want current comp plan changed. Ron Stone, 1495 Washam, is concerned about infrastructure. Opposed to changing the comp plan. Don MacDonnagh, 145 Fisher Street, opposed to the change in comp plan. Leslie DeDori, 8828 (unintelligible), gives numbers on growth. Concerned about infrastructure and schools. Opposed to higher density. Lloyd Gerber, former P&Z Commissioner, has seen a lot of time and effort put into the current comprehensive plan. It is currently an elite community and wants it to stay that way. Lets put limitations on the growth. Follow the current comp plan. Glida Bothwell, 632 Steeple View Drive, opposed to changes in the comp plan. This is an economic issue. High density is not an economically feasible for the community. Phil Whitener, 198 Rooster Drive, comp plan is to focus on what is best for the community. Issue of affordability is nonsense. Toni Glaser, 2380 W. Beacon Light Road. Opposed to changes in the comp plan. Mike Chase, 70 W. Floating Feather Road, Elenore Chase's son. Is not opposed to development, but recommends any development be well planned. This is not an area we can continue to farm. Many times people have almost run over him on his tractor. This area is not conducive to farming. Dennis Whitmore, 3319 Dewey, one ofthe developers of Lexington Hills and Canterbury. NIMBY is the theme of the evening. Mr. Crandlemire does not have water rights. Have seen a lot of selfishness tonight. Steve Deckers, 2249 Dicky Circle, reads from the current comp plan and the process necessary to make a change in the plan. There is a reasonable alternative to this change in the comp plan. Debbie Barns, 1365 W. Yellowstone, resident of Eagle for 22 years. Opposed to changes in the comp plan. Dave Roylance gives a rebuttal. Crandlemire has purchased surface water rights to the land, the paper work has not been transferred. Supply and demand are price setters. Change in situation - owner building new home - sewer is available - in city limits. Brinton closes the public hearing.

Chris Korte, 499 Main Street, former Ada County P&Z Commissioner, distributes maps of Eagle Island Flood Plain and a spreadsheet. Would like to see current comp plan remain as is, with maybe a few small changes. Density of one unit per two acres is already too low, will have a cornucopia of open space.
