was not anything about their cart that they didn't like. 60% indicated that residents thought the
trash rates should be adjusted. 77% indicated support of the rate structure. I have been in

injuries or any accidents, I haven't seen this happen before. The 2004 premium amount for work

announcements and a full page announcement in Forbes Magazine. I'm wondering if we could
get the Chamber of Commerce and the local developers involved in the costs. General
discussion.

Mayor opens the Public Hearing.
Mayor swears in Dennis Baker
Dennis Baker, 250 S. Beechwood, Boise, there are certain standards that this city has created and
developers have embraced. This plan has a lot of negative proposals. I meet with the developers
before this was proposed. We had discussion on motorized watercraft and I told them that this
was something that I would oppose with all that I have. Motorized watercraft is not in
compliance with the Comp Plan. 30-35% in drop in property values in the neighboring
subdivisions would occur immediately if motorized watercraft was approved.
Mayor swears in Rick Roe.
Rick Roe, 1331 S. Island Glenn, you really need to control the developments and make sure there
are no motorized watercraft on any ponds in the City of Eagle. With the area as open as it is the
watercraft will echo allover this valley.
Mayor swears in Ted Martinez.
Ted Martinez, 695 E. River Quarry, Eagle, I moved to Eagle 15 years ago because of the type of
city it was and how it has developed. I believe that bringing motorized watercraft on any ponds
in the city is disastrous. There is watercraft at the fairgrounds and you can hear the noise all over
the valley. It is my wish that this not allowed.
Mayor swears in Don Stott.
Don Stott, 1591 S. River Grove, in reference to Pond 6, I have had a residence on Payette Lake
and the noise pollution goes on all summer. The neighbor is based on tranquility. If these types
of watercraft are allowed on the waterways it will be disastrous. We have berms to restrict the
noise of traffic.
Mayor swears in Matt Baker.
Matt Baker, 1567 S. River Grove Way, displays an aerial of the area of the proposed
development and where the ponds are situated. I have been involved with boats and jet skis. I
put a tape recorder to my jet ski and it is so loud I decided not to bring it tonight. There is no
way the noise is going to go away. I'm also concerned about the natural wildlife in the area. The
mixture of motorized noise and the wildlife is not going to mix.
Mayor swears in Diane Richards.
Diane Richards, 1860 S. Riverford Place, we built our retirement home on the South Channel of
the Boise River because of the tranquility. We are right across the river from this project. We
have property in McCall and the Jet Ski noise is miserable. I ask that you deny this proposal.
Mayor swears in Dan Torfin.
Dan Torfin, 659 East River Quarry, This is a gorgeous plan and I'm not opposed to this layout. I
have in meetings with the applicants. I'm opposed to the use of motorized craft on the ponds.
Several months ago the applicant approached the Council with the idea of a concert on this
property. I'm not opposed to having community concerts in the right place. These two issues
should not be allowed.
Mayor: The following people have signed the Public Testimony Sheet but do not wish to testify
tonight:
Rick Timber
Brad McElliott

Steve Packard
George Transtrum
Jim Dalos
Karen Dalos
These people are all opposed.
Mayor swears in Julie Testa-Jewell.
Julie Testa-Jewell, 552 E. River Quarry Ct., I'm the Vice-President of the Homeowner's
Association. Our biggest concern is the noise development. I'm representing the young families
in our development and with young children it is going to be difficult for nap time and etc. The
development is going to beautiful but please do allow motorized vehicles in the development.
Mayor swears in Jon Wroten
Jon Wroten, 799 S. Channel Road, I'm familiar with the Joplin Property, there are numerous
places along the road around the property that people could put jet skis into the river then we
would have a problem all around the Island.
Mayor swears in Jeff Sherburne.
Jeff Sherburne, 855 W. Quarter Drive, I have purchase 90 acres to develop. This is a beautiful
layout and design. You can't allow motorized vehicles it would be a negative impact on the
property values. The home sites that we are going to be bringing on will require the tranquility.
It would be a nightmare to just rely on a noise ordinance for compliance.
Mayor swears in Debbie Martinez.
Debbie Martinez, 695 E. River Quarry, I have had times that wild turkey are in my back yard.
This city is incredible. The developers have done incredible jobs on their subdivisions. We had
complaints when our children were using paddle boats.
Mayor swears in Dan McAllister.
Dan McAllister, 588 E. River Quarry Court, request the Eagle City deny any motorized vehicles
on waterways, we moved here because of the tranquility. Island Woods Homeowners have
adopted that no motorized vehicles are allowed on the water in Island Woods. We have no other
major issues to this development. Reads his written comments into the record.
Mayor swears in Steve Cooper.
Steve Cooper, 1837 S. Lakemoor, I want to reiterate the stance that everyone has taken tonight.
This has an impact on 5 subdivisions. I live off from one of the points and ACHD has leased the
land and are working at night and the noise is terrible so I can imagine what it would be like with
motorized craft on the water.
Mayor: The following people have signed the Public Testimony Sheet but do not wish to testify
tonight:
Jeff Benton
Jodi Zanecki
Dave Zanecki
Larry Moresco
Guy Hendricksen
Tom Gudmestad
Denzil Rogers
These people are all opposed.

Mark Butler, representing the applicant, I can't present the case tonight because I had a prior
commitment. We have added a club house to the project and not everyone has been able to see
the revised plans. I met with Dennis Baker and met with staff in regards to the motorized
watercraft. The developers want to present their case. There will be no commercial
development and no concerts. Jet skis won't be used. We don't believe that property values will
be decreased within a mile of this development. There is 50-60 acres of water surface in the
back of the project.
City Attorney: It appears the public hearing will be left open. I would continue this hearing to
November 18, 2003. It is not a legal requirement to publish in the paper.
Guerber moves to continue to the November 18, 2003 City Council meeting with the Public
Hearing to remain open to allow for further submission of testimony both written and oral
testimony on November 18, 2003. Seconded by Bastian. Discussion. ALL A YES:

Mayor opens the Public Hearing
Mayor swears in Larry Henshaw.
Larry Henshaw, 1053 N. Eagle Road, I don't oppose this plan, just certain aspects. The most
important to me is the ingress and egress easement. Discussion on a 24' wide road. I want to
make sure there are no obstructions on the road. I'm asking that a ditch come through the project
so I can get my irrigation water. Discussion on the parking area. I would like to see this
screened. Discussion lighting. Discussion on the flooding because of the neighboring
developments. General discussion.
Mayor swears in Mike McGrane.
Mike McGrane, 1014 N. Grey Pebble Way, I am an adjacent property owner. I attended the
Planning and Zoning hearing and I feel this project fits into the area. Drainage is an issue in the
whole area. There should be some consideration to deal with drainage.
Mayor swears in Gerald Teal.

MOTION CARRIES..........
NEW BUSINESS: Walmer Farms:
City Attorney Buxton: Discusses Mr. Bradbury's letter that addresses Mr. Baker's concerns
about the City's actions in regards to Wagner Farms at the last meeting. After reviewing Mr.
Bradbury's letter and discussing it with him this evening, it appears there needs to be a
clarification of the Council's action at the last meeting in that we do not Wagner Farms to think
we are interpreting our Code as a Farmer's Market for every action that they are undertaking and
what we are really doing is that part of their activities they are undertaking for the sale of
produce is certainly applicable as a Farmer's Market under our current Code but the other
activities would not be and that at this time we are only allowing them as an accommodation this
year to undertake those activities as defined by the last meeting and the motion that was made.
We will be sending a letter clarifying that any and all activities other then the sale of produce in
the future would require a conditional use permit by the City prior to those activities being
undertaken.
Dennis Baker, 250 S. Beechwood, Boise, Thank you for allowing me to make a few remarks to
the Wagner Farms. I've known the Mace Family for 15 years. I do find that the incompatible use
is not in keeping with the harmony of the neighborhood. If this is a one year accommodation to
get over the adjustments for the Wagner's continue in this location then I would hope that a full
hearing would be held for the next year's operation. Discussion on the definition of a Farmer's
Market. General discussion. I certainly would not like to see this continue on past this year. I
would be behind them in finding a place that would be more suitable. General discussion.
Bastian moves to direct the City Attorney to send a letter to the Wagner's to notify them of
the uses under a Farmer's Market and also clearly identify those issues that are not
included in a Farmer's Market and present the letter to Council for approval before
sending to the Wagners. Seconded by Guerber. Discussion. ALL A YES: MOTION

Mayor & City Council
Eagle, Idaho
Dear Mayor & Council:
This will express my support for modification of the Eagle Architectural and Site Design
Criteria (ZOA-t-03), to allow building heights of up to forty feet (40') in Downtown
Eagle.
I believe that allowing the greater height will promote construction of multi-use projects -
commercial uses on the main floor, with residential uses upstairs, since many such projects
would exceed the present thirty-five foot (35') height limit by a just few feet. Further, I
believe it is very unlikely that a large number of such projects will be proposed in
downtown Eagle; concerns that many buildings of greater height would be built, creating a
"tunnel effect" are largely unfounded. In reality, a change in permitted height of five feet
(5') will hardly be visually noticeable, but would have great impact on the ability to build
multi-use buildings.
The encouragement of commercial and residential multi-use projects will greatly benefit
our downtown; the major element of a viable downtown is the presence of people; and
encouraging downtown residential activity will add to the number of people who will be
downtown on a regular, frequent basis.
I respectfully request your consideration in the matter.
With best wishes and appreciation for your service to our community,
