Developers propose 26‑lot Saddle Ridge subdivision; Commission requests wetlands delineation and site walk
Summary
EG HOME LLC presented a revised 26‑lot Saddle Ridge subdivision plan that includes about 65 acres of open space; Easton Conservation Commissioners asked for color‑coded maps showing wetlands and the 100‑foot regulated area, requested staking of house sites, roadway and detention basins, and scheduled a joint site walk before proceeding.
Attorney Wilson Carroll and plan drafter Darin Overton appeared before the Easton Conservation Commission on June 23 to present a revised application for the 26‑lot Saddle Ridge subdivision, which straddles Sport Hill Road, Silver Hill Road, Cedar Hill Road and Westport Road. Carroll said the current proposal differs from prior submissions in 2009 and 2014 and is "less intense," and Overton confirmed the maps show individual lot sizes and the proposed open space. The applicants stated the project will include about 65 acres of open space.
Commissioners said the materials submitted are not yet sufficient for a wetlands/regulatory review and asked the applicant to provide color‑coded plan sheets that delineate wetlands and the 100‑foot upland review area on each lot, and to show contiguous open‑space boundaries and access points. Chair Dori Wollen also asked that the applicant stake the roadway layout, detention basins and the proposed house sites and notify staff when staking is complete so the commission can perform a joint site walk.
At the meeting the commission reviewed prior continuances and public‑hearing scheduling history for this matter; the hearing has been continued several times and was continued most recently to July 20, 2026. Commissioners emphasized that peer reviewers and staff require at least two weeks to examine revised plans after they are filed. The commission noted its expectation that the open space be clearly identified, specify who will maintain it, and show legal or physical access from the public right‑of‑way or an easement.
The commission’s requests and the condition that house sites and roadway be staked are procedural prerequisites to any further technical review; no final determination or vote on the subdivision was taken at the June 23 meeting. Next steps: applicants will supply revised, color‑coded maps and staking and will arrange the joint site walk; the public hearing remains continued pending those steps.
