determined that a Stop Sign on Meadow Way at Sparks Road is in the
best interest of public safety.
THOSE PRESENT & TESTIFYING: JOHN JENSEN submitted a letter into the
record and reviewed reasons why activity going on in the area is in
violation of the CCR’s of Easton Acres properties. He said the
Easton Acres Homeowners are concerned that legal access across the
property does not exist and in order to protect their CCR’s they
must enforce them. He felt the Community Development Services
Department, Public Works Department, Martens Enterprises LLC and
Easton Ridge Land Company should stop trying to inch forward on the
project until the issues are resolved. MYRNA JENSEN asked
Commissioner Wright how much of the issues he was aware of that is
going on. NOLAN WISE said that by establishing the Stop Sign it was
a proactive approach. He said once the issues relating to the heavy

addressed. THERE BEING NO OTHERS REQUESTING TO TESTIFY, THE PUBLIC
PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED.
