Please feel free to reach out if you <br />have any questions or concerns. <br />Thank you for taking the time to read these, and for all the assistance you have provided to the <br />Easton community. Your attention and knowledge are greatly appreciated! <br />Subarea Plan V3.0 Edits and Comments <br />Note: The footnotes indicate that Engagement was collected between March 2025 to June 2026. Is the 2026 date <br />correct, or should it be 2025? <br />Page 4; 1.2 Last paragraph; description of the area. "—forested hills and steep slopes to the south and west as the <br />train rises into the Cascade foothills." Should this description include the rises to the north and east? (Easton Ridge) <br />Page 8. Easton Figure 8 description. Keechelus dam is misspelled as Keechlus. <br />Page 11; 1.4. Second line. Board of county commissioners is misspelled as BOAD. <br />Page 11; 1.5. First paragraph regarding the Easton community collaboration on revisions to the plan between March <br />2025 to June 2026. Is the June 2026 date valid? <br />Page 18; 2.3. Community landmarks. Should Silver Ridge Ranch be included? It's been in existence for I believe <br />over 50 years and has been a prominent feature of the community. It sits right behind the LAMIRD 3 property off of <br />Sparks Rd. <br />Page 18; 2.3.1. Community Design and Aesthetic. Should "Aesthetic" in the 2.3.1 title be plural, as in "Aesthetics"? <br />Page 19; 2.4. EP 1-1 "...reduce barriers to permitting, such as requiring conditional use permits." Remove "...such <br />as requiring conditional use permits." This does not serve the community in a positive way. <br />Page 30; 5.2. Existing Conditions. Second paragraph states those not served by the Easton Water District are served <br />by private wells and septic tanks for their water and waste water. This is true, however, properties that are served by <br />the Easton Water District also utilize septic tanks for wastewater. There is no municipal sewer in Easton. <br />Page 30; 5.3. Summary of Community Input - "Feedback from the community" lacks a footnote like the other <br />summaries include on previous pages. <br />Page 32; 6.2. Existing Conditions, second paragraph, first sentence describes forested slopes, particularly to the <br />south and west. But there are also slopes to the north and east. Should those also be included? <br />
