They are not approving pathways on canals with one-sided access. • The City has an easement for public access when they do allow construction. • The City also has an easement behind Estrada. Patrick Towne owns the two undeveloped lots between them. Page 3 Rene Commons Pathway Update mdmo Page 4 7. OUT OF PROJECT IMPROVEMENT -- CONNECTION TO WYCLIFFE ESTATES: FIGURE 5 below shows the connection area for Rene Commons Pathway "E" (FIGURE 1) looking northward from Wycliffe Estates. There are a steep set of stairs, approximately 7-feet in width that begin well into this common area. These stairs. if aligned directly to a straight pathway, would create a potential safety concern far bicycles. r1GURE 5 a. The Rene Commons developer shall realise the pathway "E" design to the far west of their common area, in order to provide a control point leading into the stairs. The red lines in FIGURE 6 show an approximate tread outline intended to act as a control point for wheeled traffic. This control point shall be provided by Rene Commons Removal of the brick pavers and landscape restoration will be required. Modifications to existing fencing are subject to City and Wycliffe HOA approval. FIGURE 6 b. To prevent traffic from shortcutting the pathway, the developer shall provide fence extensions in Page 9 of 12 R.'91a�re5Dept' Y P.O. ApplicA.51115v'a2i'RmeCoom..O4-Apwor.dRm. Commrm.

This sign is to face to the north in alignment with the pathway. Eagle Road Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge Construction on the Eagle Road Ped/Bike Bridge began on October 1, 2022. Pile driving is completed. Next step is concrete piers and walls The project continues to be on schedule, but as with all things, weather impacts construction projects. Just a reminder: All construction is anticipated to occur during the day — no weekend or night work is anticipated. The project is on track to be out of the ordinary high-water mark by March with completion in April of 2023. Page 6 Avimor Public Hearing —1/17/23 The PPRC Annexation Recommendation was cited as the key area of disagreement by the Avimor Team Applicant's Response to Staff Recommended Conditions 5. ZOA-01-22 shall be amended to incorporate by reference Eagle City Code Section 9-4-1-6: Trail and Pathway Regulations as the applicable pathway standards within the Avimor Planned Development Zone as recommended by the Parks, Pathways, and Recreation Commission, prior to Ordinance 895 being signed. Applicant objects to condition #5 and requests approval of Title 11B as drafted. Title 11B includes foothills -specific pathway and trail standards that recognize the topography, vegetation, and extensive open spaces in the foothills. 6. Each preliminary plat submitted to the City for approval shall be subject to the review and recommendation process of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Applicant objects to condition #6 and requests approval of Title 11B as drafted. Title 11B includes detailed standards and requirements for the type and placement of pathways and trails that can be applied by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council as portions of the project are platted and developed. 7. The Avimor Trail Board (ATB) shall include one representative from Eagle City staff. Applicant agrees to condition #7. Page 7 8. All existing trail and pathway easements within Avimor Phases 1-12 and within the Property must provide the City rights to control of public access, recreation programing, and all other trail and pathways events. All easements that require modification or creation to satisfy this condition shall be approved by the City and recorded in the real property records of the respective county. a. If the applicant provides evidence showing any exclusive easement or legal right of any party that would preclude the granting of a public access easement in the same location, then the City requires a separate easement adjacent to the one originally conditioned. b. Easement provision language shall include the following: The City of Eagle may construct, connect, or continue within this (or these) easement(s), public pathways as part off future system expansion, and may authorize staff, contractors, or neighboring developers to facilitate such improvements within this (or these) easements from a boundary to another public pathway easement or easement, or to parcels included in any public access agreement. Applicant objects to conditions #8(a)-(b). Applicant has developed a vast network of pathways and trails that are privately funded and open to the public. Applicant has established the Avimor Stewardship Organization — a non-profit entity organized to manage and maintain the pathway and trail network. Applicant is committed to ensuring public access to private trails through public easements, but management and maintenance responsibilities will remain at the direction of the Avimor Stewardship Organization, on which the City will have a Board seat pursuant to condition #7. 9. The developer or HOA will not, in the course of maintenance or modification change the characteristics of any public trail to a degree that would increase or decrease the fitness or skill level required to use the trail without City approval. Applicant objects to condition #9. As stated above, management (including design) and maintenance of Avimor trails will remain with the Avimor Stewardship Organization. Page 8 Meeting Breakdown: • Chambers reached fire code maximum. • Three meeting rooms with video screens were added as overflow. • Commissioner McCauley recused himself due to a potential to profit from annexation. • The Applicant, represented by Deborah Nelson (Given Pursley Law Offices) presented for 2-hours, 2-minutes. • City Planner Morgan Bessaw presented for 57-minutes. • I presented on trail and pathway concerns for 23-minutes. • 24-minutes of public comment heard.

This would result in increased administrative costs • Different trail construction methods and standards, shorter maintenance intervals (due to shorter life spans) would complicate Public Works operations and capital maintenance planning • Recreation event planning would be more complicated if trail types were confusing • Set a dangerous precedent for future planned communities and subdivisions if they are permitted to establish even more variations Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: An Avimor Trail Code could freeze all construction standards. Forever. • All City codes evolve over time for reasons that make sense. • Any changes to an Avimor Trail Code would require a development agreement amendment. Avimor would have to agree with any changes that the City feels would reduce our cost of maintenance or improve safety • If we apply for mitigation grants to restore a damaged regional pathway, whatever the current standard is for that area is the only construction standard we can use. Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: Each plat submitted to the City shall be reviewed by the PPRC and a recommendation shall be made. • Recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission begin there. It is the City's best opportunity to influence the mix of recreation and alternate transportation in the area at the time. Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: The City shall be represented throughout the planning process when trails are proposed to be added anywhere in an existing part of the annexed project. • This is a response to Avimor's desire to continue their existing Open Space Committee planning process. • Avimor has contributed greatly to the foothills recreational trail network in the Valley. They have created recreational opportunities that are unique to their project. • The City would benefit a great deal from taking part in their planning process, and that relationship would improve all future development with similar topography and soil composition like the Bike Park, BLIV land, Spring Valley and future public foothills trails. • Representation on the committee would provide the City the opportunity to understand the impact of evolving foothills trail changes on the entire system. Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: The City shall be granted to the right to connect trails or pathways to any easement that borders Avimor. • This is a standard requirement for conditions of approval. Easement language requirements are currently as follows: "The City of Eagle may construct, connect, or continue within this (or these) easement(s), public pathways as part of future system expansion, and may authorize staff, contractors, or neighboring developers to facilitate such improvements within this (or these) easement(s) from any boundary to another public pathway easement or easements, or to parcels included in any public access agreement." Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: Existing trail and pathway easements must be amended or replaced to provide the City rights to primary control of public access, maintenance, and event programming, within the annexed areas and within Avimor Phases 1, 2 and 3 (Avimor Subdivision Phases 1-12). • Justification: copies of existing easements have been supplied to the City but must be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. • Easements granted to the City are required for various grant funding sources to qualify the City for the benefits of Idaho Code 36-1604. Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: But there aren't many trees on this land. Why should Avimor install root barriers? • If Avimor complies with Eagle landscaping requirements there will be trees. • Eagle is full of subdivisions that were built on farmland that were treeless for over 100-years, many have root damaged pathways. • Our code does not require root barriers where trees do not exist or will not be planted in development: All City maintained trails and pathways more than 6-feet in width that are surrounded by, or adjacent to landscaping shall be required to utilize the following elements in landscaped areas: a. Install a 24-inch (depth) BioBarrier along both sides of the tread in any area within 15- feet of a tree drip line or 30 feet from any tree trunk, whichever distance is greater. No BioBarrier is to be placed with a running -length of less than 30 feet, and no gaps of less than 30-feet will exist between BioBarrier sections. Installed BioBarrier top edge must be within 1-inch of the grade prior to installation of gravel margin. Parks, Pathways and Recreation Commission Recommendation Motion Summary: Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Northern Section — Built 2017 to Late 2018 • Tread edge failure due to a lack of support from a narrow and poorly compacted base, or steep finished grade Avimor Existing Pathways Review: How we address Tread Edge Failure Edge failure may be caused by poor compaction and width of base materials This is usually fractured by vehicles used in maintenance over 50 times per year g. %-inch minus and 6-inch minus layers are to extend 6-inches beyond both outer edges of the tread material (intended to improve tread edge load resilience). r, Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Northern Section — Built Late 2018 Transverse cracking due to expansion and contraction (and a lack of sealcoating) • 7 fractures in 1-mile A depressions forming because the fines in the base are washing away Asphalt expands much more that concrete — about a foot per mile for a 10-degree increase Avimor Existing Pathways Review: How we Address Transverse Cracking • Asphalt expands much more that concrete • Solvents evaporate and flexibility is lost • After expansion (compression) dry asphalt cracks in contraction • Asphalt paving does not employ expansion joints 1. Concrete: provide a 3.5-inch-deep Portland cement 4000psi with fiber mesh reinforcement (1.5 lbs/cy) additive tread surface, cross -sloped at 1.75% +1- 0.25%, and centered on the gravel base. This surface is to be medium broom finished, with a 0.75-inch tooled radius on edge. Control joints shall be 10-feet o.c., saw cut. Expansion joints shall be at 40-feet o.c., shall provide and install (5) 24-inch length #3 rebar. Expansion joint material shall comply with AASHTO M213 and shall be installed vertically extending to the full depth and width of the concrete work. Avimor Existing Pathways Review: City approach to puddles • Puddling caused by a lack of compaction in the base and a lack of cross slope for runoff Concrete: provide a 3.5-inch-deep Portland cement 4000psi with fiber mesh reinforcement (1.5 lbs/cy) additive tread surface, cross -sloped at 1.75% +1- 0.25%, and centered on the gravel base. This surface is to be medium broom finished, with a 0.75-inch tooled radius on edge. Control joints shall be 10-feet o.c., saw cut. Expansion joints shall be at 40-feet o.c., shall provide and install (5) 24-inch length #3 rebar. Expansion joint material shall comply with AASHTO M213 and shall be installed vertically extending to the full depth and width of the concrete work. a. To be constructed on undisturbed native soil or compacted fill. b. Install 8-inches of 6-inch minus pit run. It must be compacted to 95% on top of undisturbed soil. c. Apply monobar-chlorate and Trifluralin to base per manufacturers specifications. Below an installed weed fabric (4 oz. Non -woven geotextile filter fabric) under the entire 4-inch layer of 3/4-inch minus. d. Insta11 4-inches of 3/4-inch minus crushed gravel base compacted to 95%. e. Construct the approved tread surface as specified in Section C to the City approved width. Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Park Section Built Late 2007 or 2008 • Concrete tread failure due to poor compaction and width of base materials • This is usually fractured by vehicles used in maintenance over 50 times per year AM Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Park Section More concrete examples Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Park Section Concrete tread failure due to saturation and width of base materials Avimor Existing Pathways Review: Irrigation Impacts Addressed in Our Code d. Install a 3-inch-depth of gravel adjacent to the tread. Gravel bed must extend a minimum of 3-feet and a maximum of 4-feet from the finished tread. Gravel level shall be 1-inch below the tread edge to reduce spread onto the tread. Crushed gravel with a minimum hardness of basalt and screened particles between 3/8-inch and 3/4-inch shall be used. Note: To irrigation elements may be placed in this area. 10. To increase user safety and extend the life of the tread surface, adjacent irrigation systems must not distribute water onto the tread in calm weather conditions. Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The Southern Section Built 2007 - 2008 Concrete patches going in where asphalt failed • Substandard repair methods • Trimmed barrier, loosely compacted native soil on edges Avimor Existing Pathways Review: Previously patched areas that failed once, some failing again • Now being prepped for concrete but... Avimor Existing Pathways Review: The newest 10-foot section on Avimor Drive Eagle Existing Pathways Review: The first build of the newest standards • The pathway behind Riverwalk was constructed to the current Eagle standard and completed in September of 2018. • This serves as a heavy equipment access road for Little Pioneer Ditch Company • This is an asphalt pathway because we had not then switched to concrete as the standard Steve Noyes Id; September 25, 2018 • Q • •• So proud to play a small part in extending the Greenbelt towards Star. This section behind River Walk is being built to the highest standards in Eagle's history. Thinking of Mike Aho today, who hiked me through this site on my first day on his staff, and shared so much vision with us all. Miss you, Boss! ✓ No transverse cracking ✓ No edge failure ✓ No irrigation impacts ✓ Cross slope is functioning ✓ No root intrusions ✓ Minimal puddling Eagle Existing Pathways Review: Our original code has brought COUNTLESS examples of poorly designed and constructed pathways in our own 46-mile public system Staff Recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission: Avimor Trails and Pathways ZOA-01-22 should be revised per the PPRC recommendation • Avimor should be subject to the City Codes and Standards as they evolve. • Ensure the lowest possible long-term maintenance cost to the taxpayers of Eagle. • Help create the safest and most sustainable alternate transportation and recreation trail system in the Idaho. • A system that is consistent with the high standards found in all Eagle code. Continue your consistent and fair support of City Code 9-4-1-6 and the City Design and Construction Standards • Reduce City administrative costs. • Maintain a level playing field for all developers for decades to come.
