easements platted on the shared lots line of Lots 1, 2 and 4 of Golden Eagle Estates Subdivision and the east boundary of Lot

easements platted on the shared lots line of Lots 1, 2 and 4 of Golden Eagle Estates Subdivision and
the east boundary of Lot 4 of the Amended Golden Eagle Estates Subdivision. This property was
originally platted as Golden Eagle Estates Subdivision. With the platting of the property, utility
