Business Item – Easton Village 3rd Addition Final Plat
Wensman started his presentation regarding Easton Village 3rd addition final plat. The
final plat includes 28 single family lots that are located within an 8.53 acre area. The
preliminary plat was revised with the 2nd Addition which increased the number of lots in
3rd addition area from 27 lots to 28 lots with the lot sizes being decreased. Outlot A was
added for landscaping and Outlot B was moved for a trail corridor to provide better
connection from the park in 1st addition. Also the eyebrows were removed. There were
a few engineering comments regarding construction plans and easements. The
parkland dedication will be acquired with this phase of the development. The landscape
plans are generally consistent with the preliminary landscape plans, but there may be
revisions to comply with City Standards. Conditions of Preliminary Plat are generally
met, and anything outstanding will be made a condition of approval of final plat. The
final plat is consistent with the revised preliminary plat.
There was some discussion regarding the disclosure statement about the airport to the
first homeowners and the encouragement to incorporate interior noise reduction
measures. There was also discussion regarding the preliminary plat condition #1 that
requires adequate title evidence. Wensman stated that this condition was met.

Kreimer asked how many more phases there would be or if there was a phasing plan.
Wensman stated that there will probably be one or possibly 2 more.

airport. Larson stated that with the upcoming changes at the airport, there will be
different types of planes that will be able to use the airport. This could include small
jets which will have safety and sound impacts for the surrounding area. Wensman
