TO AMEND AND) REVISE CERTIFICATE OF CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY NO. 143. CASE NO. UWI-O7- CITY OF EAGLE'S MOTION TO VACATE HEARING Expedited Consideration Requested COMES NOW the City of Eagle, and pursuant to IDAPA 31.01.01.056 (IPUC Rule 56) and 31.01.01.256 (IPUC Rule 256), moves the Commission to vacate the hearing in the above matter which is currently set for September 24, 2007. Since testimony is to be filed by September 17, 2007, the City requests that date be vacated as well. Since this motion requests procedural and substantive relief on less than fourteen (14) days notice, the City has provided actual notice of the motion by contacting counsel for all parties by telephone and by personal delivery of the motion pursuant to Rule 256.02b. Pursuant to Rule 256.02 and Rule 56, the City of Eagle submits the following facts in support of its motion and in support of its request that the Commission act on less than fourteen (14) days notice. CITY OF EAGLE'S MOTION TO V ACA TE HEARING - Page 1 of 5 This matter was originally set for hearing on May 24, 2007. On that day the City of Eagle and Capital Development requested the matter be stayed until the first available hearing date after August 24 2007. The requested stay was based on the fact that on May 23 2007, the City of Eagle and Capital Development reached agreement (Agreement) on settling this matter. See Exhibit 1 (copy attached). This Agreement was a memorialization of proceedings at a City of Eagle City Council meeting on May 22, 2007 and continuing to May 23 , 2007, during which Capital Development agreed to annex into the City and utilize City water services. See Exhibit 2 Meeting Minutes (copy attached). Under the Agreement, the City of Eagle was to withdraw its objections to the applications filed by Capital Development at Ada County and to provide periodic updates to Capital Development about the status of water service plans for the development. Capital Development in turn, was to "promptly file" an annexation application with the City upon approval of its applications with the County and to submit "all improvement plans" and "plans for water service" to the City for expeditious review. Upon approval of the settlement, the City immediately filed a letter with Ada County on May 24, 2007, withdrawing its objections to the applications filed with the County. On July 11 2007, the County approved Capital Development's preliminary plat and related applications. In the intervening period, the City has provided status reports on development of water services to Capital Development on approximately a two-week schedule as set forth in the Agreement. To date, however, Capital Development has not filed any application for annexation with the City nor submitted any development plans for the City to review, and specifically has submitted no plan for water services. Despite the lack of information from Capital Development the City has proceeded to ensure that it has water rights sufficient to serve the development and has notified Capital Development of the same. CITY OF EAGLE'S MOTION TO V ACA TE HEARING - Page 2 of 5 The puzzling lack of any communication by Capital Development has now become evident.Unknown to the City, Capital Development and United Water entered into a Confidentiality Agreement at some point subsequent to Capital Development's entering the Agreement with the City.On September 7, 2007, the City learned of the Confidentiality Agreement between United Water and Capital Development and that United Water and Capital Development had been undertaking to provide service to the development by United Water in direct contradiction to the agreement between Capital Development and the City. The City was completely unaware of the Confidentiality Agreement and the fact that United Water and Capital Development had been secretly planning for provision of service by United Water. The City has requested a copy of the Confidentiality Agreement but to date has not been provided one by either United Water or Capital Development. The City considers Capital Development to be in breach of the Agreement entered into in settlement of the present case before the Commission. The City withdrew its objection to the Capital Development applications filed with the County and provided status reports as required by the Agreement. The City has prepared for and to date remains ready to expeditiously review any improvement plans, including water service plans, submitted by Capital Development to the City. The City has requested Capital Development submit those plans and the annexation application. See Exhibit 3 (copy attached). The City has also requested a meeting with Capital Development which is scheduled for September 18 , 2007. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the plans for development, the provision of water by the City, and the issues surrounding the Agreement between the City and Capital Development, including Capital Development's breach of the Agreement. The meeting with Capital Development on September 18, 2007 was the earliest available time for a meeting. The Commission s scheduling order in this matter requires the submission of CITY OF EAGLE'S MOTION TO VACATE HEARING - Page 3 of 5 testimony on September 17, 2007, with a hearing date of September 24, 2007. If the testimonial filing date is maintained and the hearing proceeds, the parties will be required to incur needless expense in preparing for a hearing which the City does not believe is justified because of the Agreement between the City and Capital Development.Further, given the turn of events described above and the City s need to prepare for a hearing if it does go forward, the current schedule seriously prejudices the City in preparing for the hearing. The City is at a significant disadvantage in the current situation because it has sought to secure water for service to the development, while at the same time it has not received any information, plans, or other information from Capital Development.The City remains committed to meeting its obligations under the Agreement as well as protecting its rights and interests. Given this unexpected and unanticipated situation and the Agreement between the City and Capital Development, the City requests that the Commission give expedited consideration to the City s motion to vacate the testimonial filing date and vacate the hearing. (The City has also requested that Capital Development notify the Commission to vacate the hearing but, to date Capital Development has refused. If the Commission chooses to not vacate the testimonial filing date and hearing date, the City requests that the hearing date be continued for forty-five (45) days so that the City may undertake discovery in the form of depositions of Capital Development and, if necessary, United Water so that City may file appropriate testimony in this matter and prepare for hearing.

City Attorney Buxton: We had an Executive Session with the applicant and came to a concept of a settlement with regard to our issues that we are set for hearing On May 24th before the PUC. We have come up with a suggestion that the City will recommend approval of the PUD that was presented here tonight with the Developers agreement to stay the PUC application for United Water extending their certificated area over the Lanewood Estates and the Developer would consent to annex the PUD into the City upon the approval of the PUD by Ada County which is substantially similar to what is presented tonight. The developer would agree to have the PUD served by the City Water System in compliance with Eagle City Ordinances and if at the time the Lanewood PUD needs to hook up to a public water system and the City system is not available to do so then the PUC matter would be reinstated with regard to whether that area should be served as part of the United Water certificated area. My recommendation that if the City agrees with these terms that you direct me to work with the developer to try and draft this document and that you continue this meet to later today because it is the 23rd and we can potentially have an agreement that you can approve. I would also ask that one of the Yorgason come forward on the record and state that they agree with this concept. Ramon Yorgason, Capital Development, We appreciate the Council and the City Attorney working with us on this settlement approach. We certainly agree to negotiate a settlement and work forward as soon as possible and I would like to ask the City Attorney to contact our attorney, Bob Burns, and we will be available to answer any questions. It is our understanding that the City will support our application to the County and that we will make application as soon as possible without jeopardizing our County application and would make application to the City for annexation and the City water service and if the City water service is not available we will find another solution possibly United Water.

Burns Moffatt Thomas Barrett Rock & Fields, Chtd. 101 S. Capitol Blvd., 10th Floor Boise, ID 83701 RE:Annexation and Cooperation Agreement Between the City of Eagle and Capital Development Inc. Dear Bob: As you are aware, the City of Eagle and Capital Development Inc. (CD I) have an Annexation and Cooperation Agreement (copy attached) which addresses the annexation of certain property by Lanewood Investments LLC and provision of water service to the development by the City of Eagle. Paragraph 3 of the Agreement provides for the City to withdraw its objections to CDI's applications with Ada County, and Paragraph 1 requires status reports approximately every two weeks from the City, which the City has provided. Under paragraph 4 of the Agreement, CDI was to apply to annex the property immediately following Ada County s approval of CDI's applications and submit improvement plans, including water service plans, for the City to review. In compliance with the Agreement signed May 23 , 2007, the City immediately withdrew its objections with Ada County (letter dated May 24, 2007, copy attached), and CDI's applications were approved by Ada County on July 11 2007. To date, the City has not received an annexation application or any of the required information from CDI about development plans or improvement plans for the water system for the development. It has now come to the City attention that CDI and United Water have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement and collectively undertaken a process to plan for provision of water service to the development by United Water. This action was taken with no notice or other communication to the City Eagle. According to the City Engineer and City planning staff, there has been no information or communication from CDI about the status of plans for the development or the submission of any E,ff Mr. Robert B. Burns September 13 2007 Page 2 improvement plans for the City to review. The City of Eagle has, in fulfillment of the Agreement to provide water service to the development, provided status reports as required by the Agreement and undeliaken in good faith to ensure it had sufficient water rights to serve the development. This is notice that the City has those water rights and will meet its commitment to provide service consistent with the Agreement. CDI and UWI have asked the IPUC to schedule a hearing on September 24, 2007. The hearing is unnecessary and will cause the parties to needlessly incur additional expense. The City is requesting that CDI immediately notify the IPUC that the hearing is unnecessary, and that CDI notify United Water that water service will be provided by the City of Eagle and that the Application of United Water Idaho Inc. to Amend and Revise Certificate of Convenience and Necessity No. 143 should be withdrawn. In order to begin to cure CDI's default under the Agreement, the City is also requesting that CDI promptly submit its application to annex into the City of Eagle and provide the improvement plans and water service plans referred to in the Agreement for the City s review. The City is disappointed that CDI appears to be trying to avoid the clear intent of the Agreement by working in secret with United Water to plan for service by UWI. The City is also disappointed in CDI's failure to communicate with the City on the planning and development of the property, to provide the documents required by the Agreement, and to breach an Agreement that provided substantial benefits to CDI. The City is requesting the above actions by CD I in order to avoid needless litigation and proceedings before the IPUC. The requests are made based upon the City s understanding of actions taken by CDI, actions of which the City had no prior knowledge. This letter is also notice that the City reserves the right to pursue all legal remedies available to it against CDI should CDI not meet its obligations under the Agreement. The City is committed to working with CDI on this matter, but the circumstances described above dictate that CDI communicate and cooperate with the City in a good faith effort to meet CDI's obligations under the Agreement.

Chapter One - Introduction., Section 1.4 Relationship to Ada County Plannmg, indicates it is the desire of the City of Eagle to have the majority of the urban development occur under the jurisdictional authority of the City and connect to municipal services. The plan goes on to identify in Chapter 2 - Conununity Design, Section 2.5 Implementation Strategies, s.) All urban development shall occur under the jurisdictional authority of the City and be connected to municipal services. The proposed Lanewood Estates Subdivision is contiguous to the City of Eagle therefore, to comply with the Eagle Soaring 2025 Plan, this development should occur under the jurisdictional authority of the City. The applicant should submit an application to the City of Eagle for an annexation., rezone. conditional use pennit, planned unit development, and preliminary plat for Lanewood Estates Subdivision. Lanewood Estates Subdivision is subject to the requirements outlined within the Eagle Area of Impact Agreement between Ada County and the City of Eagle. Subdivisions in the Impact Area Page 13 of 16c:~ """ Sdliop'BMS.MSII'IlAWILocoI Sot!inplTcmporuy IatEnlCt FdrslDLKSC"200700017 S.ZC.PUP-DA Lancwood stfclo. 1 1 shall be evaluated for conformance with the City of Eagle s Subdivision Code, Title 9, Chapter 3 and Title 9 Sections 9-4-1 through 9-4-12. The proposed development as shown on the preliminary plat date stamped by the City on April 3, 2007, shows lots ranging from 7 700-square feet to 28,O46-square feet in size. The applicant is requesting an R2 zoning designation through Ada County, which has a 16 OOO-square foot minimum lot size. Per Eagle City Code Section 9- $, lots within any subdivision shall comply in all respects with the official height and area regulations as set forth in section 8-2-4 of the code. Per Eagle City Code Section 8-2-4-, Schedule of Building Height and Lot Area Regulations, the minimwn lot size within an R-2 (ResidentiaL-up to two units per acre) zone is 17 000 square feet. The applicant is proposing 381. -buildable lots within the subdivision, 237 of those lots, approximately 62%, are below the minimum lot size of an R-2 (Residential-up to two units per acre) zone. The Building Height and Lot Area Regulations also provides for a decrease of minimum lot size in a subdivision be allowed if there is an offsetting increase of the same square footage in open space and a planned unit development is applied for and approved. A3 provided within this report within the Staff Finding of Facts, Section H, Site Data, the required amount of open space for this development per Eagle City Code 9- would be 2,215 965-square feet (50. 87-acres), which is 26.7% of the site based on a 17,OOO--square foot minimum lot size. This figure is based on an offsetting increase in open space of 1 386,147- square feet (3L82-acres) plus the required ten percent (10%) open space of 829 818-square feet (19.05 acres). The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing an additional 386,147-square foot (31.82-acres) of open space for a total of 2,215 965-square feet (50.87- acres). The Eagle Comprehensive Plan designates the property as "Residential Two" with a density not to exceed two units/acre. The "Residential Two" designation was envisioned to primarily allow for singLe family residential development within areas that are rural in character. The Eagle Soaring 2025 Plan designates the property to be located within the "Village Planning Area" with the overall densities south of Beacon Light Road to average one to two units/acre. The proposed Lanewood Estates Subdivision has a density of two units per acre. This development proposes features that may be considered comparable to the City of Eagle requirements for residential subdivisions with the exception of the amount of required open space proposed. Design elements include street sections with five foot (5') wide concrete sidewalks separated by an eight foot (8') wide landscape strip abutting both sides ofllie roadways, and buffer areas abutting all roadways bordering the four (4) sides of the development The 35 .36-acres of open space includes interconnecting pathways throughout the devdopment, natural surface paths adjacent to the large drainage ditches, five (5) open space areas larger than one (l) acre in size, a swimming pool with a changing room, and four (4) tot lots- The applicant should be required to place a note on the fmal plat which states that, "'All lots and construction shall comply in all respects with the official height and area regulations as set forth in Section 8-4 of the Eagle City Code" per Eagle City Code 9-5 (A) or as otherwise approved by the Conditions of Approval within the DeveLopment Agreement associated with Lanewood Estates Subdivision. The preliminary plat date stamped by the City on April 3. 2007, shows the cul.de-sac street N. Premier Place to be approximately eight hundred feet (800') in Length. North Premier Place provides access to twenty two (22) residential lots. Eagle City Code prohibits cul-de-sac streets to be more than five hundred feet (500') in length. The applicant should provide a revised preliminary plat showing N. Premier Place to not exceed five hundred feet (500') in length or provide a buLb-out at midpoint which provides an adequate area to turn emergency equipment around.
