EchoHawk Estates
Presentation by John Fulton. Discussion: right of way plans
include grass and shrubs to dress up the appearance, will install
sprinkler system; Lot 1, Block 4 and Lot 1, Block 5 are parks and
will be developed as indicated on Master Plan (no separate
landscaping plan was submitted for the parks). A 10 foot trail
easement is planned on the canal bank outside the di tchriders I
easement - the trail surface was undetermined. Barbara suggested
the developer meet with the Pathways Committee to discuss options
for the trail. The following conditions of approval were added:
1.
Require seeding and irrigation of right of way 20 feet
out from property line to street.
2.
Weeds are to be contained throughout the subdivision
until development is complete.
The plan was accepted with the above conditions.
2.
Design Review/Landscaping Amendments Workshop
The consensus of the previous workshop was to use the Boise
and Coeur dlAlene codes as a basis for ours. Barbara said she was
willing to try to do the work, but that if it proved too big a job
she would see if the city will "hire it out... Several options were
discussed, i.e. Barbara doing a "mock-up" using Boise and Coeur
dlAlene codes, and returning that document to this committee for
review¡ creating a sub-committee to work on the revised ordinance¡
contracting with The Land Group to do the work.
This committee will submit a recommendation to the City
Council that we obtain preliminary cost information, and arrange
for an outside party to complete compilation and revision of the
ordinances.

Arboretum Report
Phil reported that Dave Koga had met with Don Brinton
regarding getting a bid package going. The question was raised
whether grant funds can be used to pay for documents and specs, and
if not, then what are our options? The committee discussed at
length what plans were yet to be completed, and whether they were
really necessary. It was decided to sent the proposal for fees for
the plans to council, and recommend they approve the expenditure.

General Discussion Items
1.
Barbara will check out Echo Creek activity - are they
working on Phase 1 or are they working in the
restricted/conditioned area?
2.
Franz questioned whether The Trolley had complied with
the conditions as required by this committee. Barbara
will ask Carol to report at the next meeting.l
Re: Idaho Power - Carol contacted the ditch company -
they said it was out of their jurisdiction and to check
with ITD. ITD indicated no objection to plans, so the
proposal was sent to Council.
3.
Council decided the City should provide water and
maintenance, but bill Idaho Power for those services. Tal
agreed to project a cost estimate for Idaho Power. Mayor
Guerber said this was an approved landscape plan per the
CDBG for Downtown Revitalization. Barbara and Carol will
verify that information from the Grant files.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
