Speed Limit 20 mph
Quick reminder-the speed limit in SunCrest neighborhoods is 20 mph.
Please keep the speed down, and be especially watchful during these summer months when children and pets are more likely to be outdoors, and there are piles of mulch and dirt along the streets, making the navigation of roads more difficult.
Thanks!

Weed Concerns
Hello everyone,
I found out today that Draper City can ticket Home Owners that have weeds, vegetation, etc. growing taller than 6”. Not only is this an eyesore for all Residents and their guests, it also poses a potential fire hazard and these Residents need to take this seriously.
We have sent letters to Residents that this applies to, and have had no response and seen no improvements to the condition of their property. I have found that we get better results for any violations when there are combined forces-OA, Draper Police & Draper City.
Residents can communicate concerns to me with properties this relates to, but they can also contact Draper City (576-6500) to report the violation if they prefer that route. In any case, we would like to be in the loop so we can follow up.

Traffic Info
OK-I'm right there with everyone else being annoyed at the Traverse Ridge closure, and having to take an extra five to get in and out of the neighborhood. However, SR.org has already received several complaints from concerned residents on Longbranch, the detour street in Oak Vista. These residents have children and pets that they would like to keep long-term, and would like to ask everyone zipping through to slow down a little. Plan ahead to leave five minutes earlier than necessary so that speeding is not your only option. Thanks!

Meeting with Zions Bank
On Tuesday, July 1st, a group of SunCrest residents met with Zions Bank officials regarding the purchase and sale of the SunCrest property.
In attendance were Paul & DeLaina Tonks, Scott & Barbara Blackmer, Simon Cantarero, Tod Bean & Mary Chamberlain of CCMC, and Scott Wiggins, OA Board Member. (A big thank you goes out to two additional SR.org members who were instrumental in setting up the meeting-you know who you are!)
1. OA Info
a. OA Board members: We need three to function and make decisions for the community. Zions was glad that we shared this information. They indicated that when the need arises to appoint members, they would like our input and suggestions.
b. July meeting needs to be scheduled: This normally occurs the third Thursday, at 3:00. The OA meeting for July 17 will be held as scheduled.
2. Plans for SunCrest
a. Info Center-Due to road closure and equipment in the way, can CCMC move into offices at Info Center? No. Locks on the Clubhouse and Info Center have been changed for liability reasons. Since they are Zions Bank's property, they can now only be accessed by Zions' employees or those authorized by the bank.
b. complying w/Master Dev’t Plan: They are not developers and aren't planning on doing any of the infrastructure upgrades requested. They are taking the City at its word that they are willing to work with Zions and the new developer. There may be amendments and changes made to the Master Plan. They will let us know what these changes are.
c. Is Zions requesting entitlement changes w/Draper City? They want to sell the property as quickly as possible. No further comment was made.
d. Market-we all gave sound financial, personal, and emotional reasons to keep the market operating. They seemed open to the idea but made no promises.
e. Clubhouse-the amount needed to get it operational is $300K. They will not be doing anything with the Clubhouse.
1. pool service, chlorine-they WILL, however, be cleaning up the algae farm that is our pool. That will happen late this week, or next week.
f. Comcast-several options were floated, including turning the contract over to the OA; OR doing away with the contract completely and allowing residents to get their own services from whomever they choose. Once we know what they plan to do, we'll post it here.
g. Liens on Tallwoods lots-apparently, each homeowner in Tallwoods was assessed a lien of $9K b/c the developer failed to pay WW CLyde for the installation of the roads. All of Terrabrook's debts were dismissed in the bankruptcy, but the liens on the homeowners' lots were not. Unfortunately, there's probably not much the bank will do.
3. Timeframe for sale-most likely weeks or months, not minutes or hours.
a. Prospects? They have already met with three developers. There were 18 who were interested prior to the auction.
b. Why were there only 2 bids at the auction? Apparently there are strict protocols and procedures in place for the bidders. Doing a deal after the fact, with the bank, allows more flexibility on the procedures and structure of the sale. It sounded like a better deal for the lender and the potential new developer.
c. What criteria does the new developer have to meet in order for them to qualify to purchase the development? Zions is looking for two things: financial stability and experience in hillside development. They will not just offload us to the highest bidder and risk having the same thing happen twice.
4. What can residents do to help?
a. DON'T PANIC!
b. The aforementioned members of SR.org have made themselves available for input and suggestions to Zions, the City, and to answer any questions new developers may have. Our concerns and interests have been heard by the lender, and will hopefully be passed on to the new developer.
c. We are as involved in this process as we can possibly be. I have never seen another community able to pull together such a sharp group of people at a moment's notice to go sit down with bank execs and attorneys to discuss the outcome of the sale from the perspective of the residents. Banks deal with numbers, not people, but meeting with them put faces to the numbers and allowed them to experience the "numbers" from a personal perspective.
d. Anything that we CAN do to help is being done. We have established contacts with the City, and with Zions. We will communicate information as it comes in so that we can all be informed during the process. Knowledge is power!
Parting Comment: "Zions is doing its best to see to a qualified hillside developer as quickly as possible."
We shall see...

Thank You!
Here's just one more reason why I am so grateful to live in SunCrest: We pull together to help out in our community every single time it is needed.
Jake let me know that they received roughly 150 e-mails of support for the market, in a 48 hour time period, and quite a few more were sent through the Zions Bank Web site and made their way to the SunCrest project manager. Amazing. Thanks to everyone who took the time to articulate why our market is so important to our community.
Jake & Jerry met with the Zions folks today and were able to share the e-mails and other pertinent information. The meeting went as well as could possibly be expected. Zions needs time to discuss and as soon as a decision is reached, we will post it here. Stay tuned.
