Re: Monument Sign
Eagle Marketplace Shopping Center
Eagle, Idaho
Dear Ms. Cerda,
1 am the property owner of The Eagle Marketplace Shopping Center, located on the northeast corner of Chinden Blvd. and
Eagle Rd., which I purchased in 2006,
It is my understanding that Golden West Signs did not get prior City consent or a Permit to change the colors of our two (2)
Tenant Directory Signs (one on Eagle Rd. and one on Chinden) and that the City is now questioning whether it will consent
to the new red background.
While I understand the need for the City to have certain zoning criteria and design standards I must appeal to you to give us a
variance so we can, hopefully, keep this shopping center viable. As you may be aware, we currently have 10 of our 25 shop
spaces vacant. What you may not know is that over '/ of the remaining tenants are struggling to remain open much Tess
consider renewing their leases.
The biggest problems we have in retaining existing tenants and in attracting new businesses are visibility and ingress/egress.
I understand the City is opposed to the proposed new median project on Eagle Road which I appreciate as we are very much
against this plan. Regardless of the outcome of this project, however, the City can, and should, help us improve our
visibility. It is one thing to have unlighted signs and lush landscaping for commercial properties on interior streets with
lower speed limits and quite another when it comes to a property like ours on a State Highway with 55 mph speed limits.
Since I have owned Eagle Marketplace we have on several occasions asked sign companies to request variances for lighted
tenant storefront signs and/or an electronic readerboard addition to our highway signs. 1 trust that if you drive by our Center
you will confirm that it is virtually "buried" behind Walgreens, Key Bank and a number of trees. While the place looks great
once one gets into the parking lot the challenge is to get more people (customers!) to do so.
I am enclosing herewith a copy of a recent letter from my property manager which mirrors my sentiments on the new red
background for our Tenant Directory Signs. Again, 1 implore you to give us some consideration in this matter so we can,
hopefully, hang on to our present tenant base and try to rebuild it in the Light of so much new competition and the general
economic times.
Thanks, in advance for your understanding and positive response to our very real concerns.
Sincerely,
Dorothy Fieias

Re: Monument Sign
Eagle Marketplace Shopping Center
Eagle, Idaho
Dear Barb,
I wanted to bring to your attention the dismal visibility and exposure the tenants at Eagle Marketplace
Shopping Center have. The landscaping and Walgreens both block the view corridors for the tenants.
With the speed limits along Eagle Road, and Chinden Boulevard , the white background and dark Letters
were just not eye catching enough for passersby.
We need a reasonable form of exposure, as the City will not allow lighted signs on the building, or an
electronic reader board on the highway. The bright red sign provides some much needed visibility. We
need tenants and traffic to keep the property viable and losing the bright red sign would be a major
setback to our efforts to maintain our current tenants and hopefully, attract some much needed new
business.
We are struggling at this property and with the proposed road works blocking the access to turn left onto
Chinden Boulevard and Left onto Eagle Road, the center will have an even greater need for exposure and
visibility.
We ask that the Board approve the sign color as it now stands, in light of the above stated challenges the
property is facing. Thanks in advance for your consideration in this most important matter.
