Carol Venable, 1230 N. Hilton Head Way, Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Venable feels that the Council was
disrespectful to the Mayor regarding the letter he sent regarding legislation. She believes that the
Council should have asked for a private meeting with the Mayor rather than addressing it at an open
meeting. The office of Mayor and the person should not be treated with respect.
Brian Alman, 864 North Player Avenue, Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Alman is a trustee at the Eagle Public
Library. He compliments the library on the services they provide. The library facility was built
over 20 years ago and the needs of the City have grown substantially in that time.He feels the City
should begin to look at the expanding the footprint of the library. Staff areas are crowded, and the
current Library Director has his office literally space that was designed for a garage. He is hoping
to start the discussion on addressing the facility needs.
Ed Thomas,300 South Cobblestone Way,Eagle,Idaho. Mr.Thomas did not think the last meeting
was disrespectful. It was perhaps tense or contentious,but having those conversations at meetings
is appropriate and encourages them to continue to do the job they were elected to do.

Robert DeShazo reviews the application and the history of this lot within Eagle Ranch Subdivision.
Deputy Director of Planning and Zoning, Mike Williams reviews the staff report and items for
special consideration. Discussion.
Mayor Pike opens public testimony.
Ron DeRoest,291 North Yellow Pine Place,Eagle,Idaho. Mr.DeRoest is opposed to the vacation
of the term playground from the plat. It has been used as a BMX track and a community garden.
He has spoken to numerous neighbors,and they all want the lot to be a playground.This subdivision
already has limited open space. Mr. DeRoest questions why the lot was not developed and turned
over to the City. Additionally, he questions the lot owner's ethics in light of the County waiving
taxes for the lot for a number of years.
Lori Reddick, 536 Mango Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Reddick states she was not notified of this
hearing and lives in this subdivision. She agrees with the statements by Mr. DeRoest. The City
should be investing in open space and develop it into a park for the kids.
Eric Schrader,302 Mango Drive,Eagle,Idaho. He purchased his home because this open space is
directly behind it. It contributes to the value of his property as well as his neighbors. Mr. Schrader
is concerned that if allowed the developer to increase the density it would not comply with the
current Comprehensive Plan.
David Larson, 384 Longwood Drive, Eagle,Idaho. Mr. Larson had no idea this was to be used as
a park. Had they known it could have been used for open space they would of made use of it. He
questions why it wasn't developed.

K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-02-27-24min.docx
Michael O'Malley, 486 Stierman Way, Eagle, Idaho. Mr. O'Malley is a native Idahoan. His
grandchildren use the lot and finds it to be a wild adventure area.
Chris Langrill, 326 Mango Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Mr. Langrill's property abuts the lot in question.
Part of the appeal of his property is this open lot.When he purchased the property,he knew the plat
identified it as a park.
Sue Kropf,363 East Ranch Drive,Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Kropf lives adjacent to the well house. The
Eagle Ranch Homeowners Association was disbanded in the 90's. The applicant, developer, has
not abided by the commitments of the plat. This open space is critical for the families in the
neighborhood. More paving paradise and parking lots is not needed, open space preserves the
quality of life.There are plenty of developments,she urges the Council to preserve this open space.
Steve Kropf,363 East Ranch Dive,Eagle,Idaho. Mr.Kropf lives adjacent to the property. He has
lived there 14 years, and the property was always used as a recreational area whether it's to play
ball or ride bikes with their family. The open space is already being used;how can it be preserved.
This park was to be open space as Friendship Park was developed secondary.
Jane Rohling, 582 Palmetto Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Rohling has never seen the lot used as
anything other than Water Company property. She has spoken to several people who have used
the property as a community garden over the years. She didn't become aware that it was labeled as
a park until yesterday but feels as though it should be developed as one. Ms.Rohling lives in Eagle
Hills Subdivision,and they also do not have a homeowner's association.She has approached Veolia
Water Company about using the property to do water conservation demonstrations.
Barry Burnell, 301 North Yellow Pine Place, Eagle, Idaho. The property has been a play area for
his kids, and it has even been used for soccer practice. It adds value to the neighborhood. While
it may not have a fixture of a playground, the local members of the subdivision still use it as a
playground and it should remain as such.
Susan Lawrence,247 North Yew Drive,Eagle,Idaho. Ms.Lawrence was here the first time when
Mr.DeShazo wanted to develop this lot. A HOA was created to fight him and once that was done,
it disbanded. The neighborhood does need a park, and one better situated than Friendship or OK
Park.
Jean Weber, 284 Mango Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Weber lives adjacent to this property. Part of
the appeal of the home was this empty lot. Ms. Weber's husband initiated the community garden
even using water from their own yard. The open lot adds value to their property, and if developed
it can never be retrieved.
Darrell Farnsworth,467 East Westridge Drive,Eagle,Idaho.Mr.Farnsworth,he states that Robert
DeShazo came to this community in 1970,he brought water to this town. Mr.DeShazo has owned
this lot for 40 years,and he and wife want to build a home on the lot and that is all.
Mayor Pike closes the public testimony.
Stephanie Hopkins appreciates the testimony tonight and understands it is an interesting situation.
The property has been under the current property ownership since 1992, when the Eagle Ranch
Property Owners Association lost a lawsuit regarding this property and at which time the Court
divested Eagle Ranch Property Owners Association Inc. of any and all interest in the property Lot
2, Block 3 of Eagle Ranch Subdivision No. 2. Ms. Hopkins notes that since an HOA doesn't
currently exist for potential purchase of the lot for park development and maintenance it becomes
Page 8
K:\COUNCIL\MINUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CC-02-27-24min.docx
a very challenging situation. As stated during the testimony the owner of the property merely wants
to build a home for himself on the lot.
Mayor closes the public hearing.
Discussion between Council, Staff and City Attorney. Council is sympathetic to the situation in
regard to open space as well as property owner rights. With no homeowner's association existing,
and therefore no one to maintain it,becomes a quandary. Villegas states that there has been a court
determination stating that the property is owned by Mr. DeShazo. The action of the Council is a
discretionary matter.

Discussion regarding open space.
Deputy Planning and Zoning Administrator, Mike Williams reviews the staff report and items for
special consideration.
Mayor Pike opens public testimony.
Cheryl Bloom, 2153 North Holly Brook Place, Eagle, Idaho. Ms. Bloom is concerned with the
traffic and drive-thru. She inquires what would trigger a new traffic study. She questions the need
for four drive thrus in a development that is being touted as pedestrian friendly.
Cynthia Horsford, 7431 West Corinthia Street,Eagle,Idaho. Ms.Horsford owns property nearby.
Traffic is currently a challenge,sometimes taking 10-15 minutes to get from Edgewood to Highway
44. This could add thousands of additional cars and the impact on traffic needs to be addressed.
With developments currently in process, the addition of this would lead to a stacking of traffic.
Traffic safety is of great concern.
Lori Reddick, 536 Mango Drive, Eagle, Idaho. Navigating current lanes is already challenging,
this will only add to the problem. The impact on traffic and increase in accidents should be
considered.
Mayor Pike closes public testimony.
Debra Nelson rebuts testimony. The original traffic study did include a growth factor as is required,
in addition Ada County Highway District also weighed in on this current application. They did not
add any additional requirements.The development not only provides flexibility but adds sideboards
to the development.
Discussion amongst Council, Staff and Ms.Nelson regarding traffic impact and ACHD review and
options.
Mayor closes the public hearing.
Russell states she prefers the original site plan and believes it leans more to pedestrian friendly.
She would not support the new concept plan as proposed especially with the intensity of Pad 1 but
would be open to discussing some modifications. Gindlesperger agrees with the statements in
regarding to Pad 1. She does not feel it is appropriate. Kvamme states that the traffic data needs
to be addressed as it may be outdated, and the intensity does need to be addressed.
City Attorney Villegas states that an option would be to remand this back to staff to come back
with another option that might be acceptable to Council.
John Rennison states that he appreciates the opportunity to work and bring this back with
alternatives.

Mayor Pike introduces the item.
Dr. John Maltby, 737 North Beachwood, Eagle, Idaho. Chamber President Maltby states that the
Chamber is requesting the use of the city campus for their annual Eagle Fun Days activities due to
the construction occurring downtown. The sale of alcohol is not allowed on school district property
where the fireworks are scheduled to take place,and as this is a major fund raiser for the Chamber,
they are seeking approval to hold their event at the City Hall/Library campus. The Chamber will
make all efforts to coordinate and cleanup within the allotted time.
Mayor Pike mentions the impact on city employees that would be working until 5:00 p.m.,as well
as staff dedicated to the fireworks event and other City coordinated events associated with Eagle
Fun Days.
Kenny Pittman,Vice Chairman, 5252 West Braveheart,Eagle Idaho, states that they have reached
out to the library about closing early, but didn't push the matter until the Chamber knew if they
were going to be granted use of the facility. Pittman states that the City Hall staff would still be
able to exit the parking lot.

nor fee schedule in place for City campus use for this type of event but one could be generated.He
makes himself available for questions.

the additional burden on staff. Gindlesperger concurs, with staff already stretched thin with the

city events associated with Fun Days.As there is currently no reservation policy or fee schedule in
place for the use of campus, she would hate to set a precedent. Kvamme would be in support of
the request,flexibility is a good thing. May too says that it is a slippery slope and perhaps not one
to go down at this time.

Hi William,
I do see there is no reported contribution to Craig Kvamme from the Building Contractors Association of SW Idaho PAC
as you indicate, however a quick search of contributions reported by Craig Kvamme on the heritage portal doesn't show
he reported receiving any contributions from them either. Is it possible he might be thinking of a different organization's
contribution? I do see he reported contributions of$1000 from the Idaho Association of Realtors and Showalter
Contruction Company Inc. He has not yet created an account and begun reporting on the new portal.
I'm attaching the form L5 for filing a campaign finance complaint, should you need it.
The completed form may be returned either to our office or to the Secretary of State, depending on the subject of the
complaint.The PAC in question falls under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State's office, so any complaint against the
PAC would be directed to their office.To file a complaint against Craig Kvamme as a local candidate, please direct the
form to the Ada County Elections office.

Hello William,
My apologies for the confusion.
What you experienced is due to the current Sunshine platform migration, older filings are still archived on the heritage
Sunshine portal so the guidance I provided was incomplete in that respect.
Older filings can be found using the links located on this page https://sos.idaho.gov/elections-division/campaign-
inance-data!, including archived data from paper filings submitted prior to 2020.
I apologize for the oversight.The data migration process is just beginning, however the filings from the heritage portal
will be available from the original link very likely before the end of the year, though the timeframe is uncertain just yet.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions, I'm happy to help.

Hi Phaedra,
Thank you very much for the information. It was very useful at Eagle's City Council meeting where I give testimony for
agenda item 9C:
ZOA-03-23—Zoning Ordinance Amendment (Ordinance 907)—Building Contractors Association
of Southwest Idaho: An ordinance of the City of Eagle,Ada County, Idaho, amending Eagle City Code
Title 8 "Zoning Administration and Enforcement",Section 8, "Notice Requirements"; providing a
severability clause; and providing an effective date. (WEV)
During my testimony I noted the Building Contractors Association of SW Idaho PAC contributions to several sitting
council members including Mary May, Melissa Gindlesperger,and Helen Russell.
However, after closing public comments, council member Craig Kvamme declared that my list was incomplete since the
Building Contractors Association of SW Idaho PAC had given him $1,000 in 2023.
Craig Kvamme's declaration is troubling since I have searched Sunshine multiple times and find no reference to the
moneys!
How do I start an investigation into the matter?

William
