Eaglewood Village will present a new face for the city, he said.

"We want it done so that it's appealing," he said. "We are anxious to see it improved. We need it done right, too."

So far, Wood believes the Lowes have been responsible in their development plans: They hired a reputable geotechnical consultant, bought the land and plan to improve traffic flows on U.S. 89, he said.

As long as the Lowes are willing to comply with the recommendations of AGEC, the next steps in the development should go smoothly with the city, Wood said. The city's geotechnical consultant, Phil Gerhart, will review recommendations.

Additional city approvals will be needed for the final site plan, design and engineering, as well as building plans, which must conform to city and international building codes.
