This information is shared by Barbara Blackmer, resident OA Board Member, at the developer's request. As soon as additional information becomes available, it will also be posted here.
Dear SunCrest Residents,
How about some fairly good news this time? I am able to let you know that there is a seriously interested developer working out an agreement with Zions Bank to purchase the SunCrest development.
The developer is being quite thorough in doing all due diligence, studying the financials, reviewing what CCMC does for us, pursuing what the developer's obligations would be should they finalize purchase, and aware of resident concerns. I understand their goal is to "help turn this beautiful place around and reach its full potential," with some anger towards those who in the past have tarnished the name of "SunCrest" -- such an amazing place.
I have not yet met with this developer (I think it's more than one person), but I'm hoping to do so soon. We are trying to get more information from Zions Bank. At this point, Tod Bean (community manager) is unable to provide any more information, either. But this serves as a "heads up" and possibly a ray of hope.
Have a great weekend! and feel free to share this information with your neighbors. It's limited, I know, but I wanted to share with you everything I have so far.
Barbara Blackmer
Homeowner representative and
Trustee on the Owners Association Board

Fire on the Mountain-News Release
NEWS RELEASE
US FOREST SERVICE SALT LAKE UNIFIED FIRE
For Immediate Release Contact: Kim Osborn (801) 710-3664
Kathy Jo Pollock (801) 558-8016
CORNER CANYON FIRE UPDATE
Salt Lake City, August 27, 2008 – The Corner Canyon fire has burned 808 acres of Forest Service and private land above Draper City. It is burning in brush and mixed conifer with minimal fire activity yesterday due to cooler temperatures and higher humidity. The fire is currently 35% contained. The incident fire management team is anticipating 100% by 9 p.m. on Thursday, August 28, 2008. The U.S. Forest Service and Salt Lake Unified Fire Authority are managing the fire incident under a unified command.
There are currently 187 personnel assigned to the fire. A total of four hand crews were transported by helicopter to the fire yesterday. Two of the crews camped out on the mountain last night. An additional two crews are expected to join the effort on the mountain today, building containment line. There are three helicopters on site including one Type I helicopter capable of carrying 2,000 gallons of water.
The threat to structures is minimal at this time; however five engines will remain in the area to patrol the hillside roads along with providing support to the hand crews.
CLOSURES. All roads leading east into the incident area will remain closed. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the Draper area is closed to the public. Fire management requests that public travel along Highland Drive should be minimal due to fire traffic. Officials also ask that there be no stopping along Highland Drive. Draper City Park and the Draper Rodeo Grounds are being used by the fire management personnel.
Kim Osborn (801) 710-3664
Kathy Jo Pollock (801) 558-8016
This fire was human caused and is under investigation. Anybody with information pertaining to the origin of the fire is asked to contact Unified Fire Authority (801) 743-7100.
Fire managers request that individuals stay out of the fire area, for both firefighter and public safety.

Last Minute Bus Schedule Change
Dawn Berbert let us know that the middle school buses will be arriving at 7:40 instead of 7:30, in an attempt to relieve the bus stop congestion with the elementary buses being there at 7:30.
At this point it may not be a permanent change, but they'll see how it goes, and we can let you know once a final decision is made.
Speaking of buses...Sarah Kocsis needs a few more people to help out on the Transportstion Safety Committee to help with traffic flow during all the times our children are being picked up and dropped off. We especially need help with the early schedule. Post a comment if you can help out!

Bus Stop
We have all been wondering about the status of the bus stop because of the construction on Traverse Ridge Road. The start of school is just around the corner, and the section of TR Road with access to the bus stop has yet to be completed.
After conversations with Robert Markle, project engineer, and Dave Decker, Director of Public Works for Draper City, we have the following information to share.
The City has been in touch with Alpine School District Dep't of Transportation to try to resolve the issue. The plan is to allow bus access only into the parking lot on the Traverse Ridge side of the bus stop. Parents will need to use the Deer Ridge entrance or drop off the kids anywhere along the Village Green on Deer Ridge Road. Our Transportation Safety Commitee will look at logistics and come up with the most safe and efficient protocols to follow for the time that the bus stop isn't accessible through normal routes.
Robert Markle is coordinating with the enginnering company doing the work, so that they do any of the work that would require that section of TR Road to be shut off completely, on a Saturday, so that the bus service will not be disrupted.
The previously scheduled completion date of mid-September has been delayed for a couple of weeks, but they hope to complete any asphalt and repaving work before the snow flies...

Update Letter from Trustee, Barbara Blackmer
Dear SunCrest Residents:
As the resident Trustee on the SunCrest Owners Association Board, I would like to update you regarding the latest developments with Zion's Bank, the SunCrest Market, Comcast, and Covenants Enforcement in our community.
Zion's Bank:
Zion's informs me that they are in active discussions with at least six potential developers who are making serious offers to purchase the assets of SunCrest LLC and take over further development at SunCrest.
Zion's says it is looking for two primary qualifications: financial capability to undertake such a project, and experience with hillside development -- both of these qualifications are essential for success.
It appears unlikely, however, that one or more new developers would actually be able to take over much before the end of the year.
Zion's Bank is willing to appoint two Trustees to the OA Board, as required of the declarant, in order for the Board to be able to function in the interim. That should happen soon, and we can anticipate a September OA Board meeting.
SunCrest Market:
I am attaching a letter written to SunCrest residents by the owners of the Market, informing us of their intent to close the Market in roughly two weeks, and giving the reasons why. Please take the opportunity to shop there as they close out their inventory and express your appreciation to them. (Contents of the letter are found in the previous post)
Comcast:
We are awaiting the decision of the Bankruptcy Court on the proposal by SunCrest LLC to assign the Comcast bulk services agreement to the SunCrest OA. If this happens, we can review our options with Comcast.
Covenants Enforcement:
The management company (CCMC) has been working very hard to maintain the quality of our community and enforce the covenants. They have visited many homeowners who are not in compliance and have sent dozens of enforcement letters. Many of these have resulted in collection of amounts due, payment plans, and actions resolving issues such as parking and landscaping. In other cases, the homeowners (or absentee property
owners) have been unresponsive, and some of these issues have been turned over to the OA's attorney for further action, and/or reported to Draper City in cases where municipal ordinances are being violated. The City is taking at least one homeowner to court.
Under the CC&Rs and By-Laws, there are some actions that CCMC can take on behalf of the OA without further legal process. For example, CCMC has had Kimball Landscaping cut weeds on some neglected properties, and CCMC has removed trash cans from the streets and arranged for dumpsters to clean up some of the worst areas. I arranged last week for LDS Facilities Management to clean up the church site off SunCrest Drive and haul away illegally dumped trash and construction materials.
As residents, you can help us in these efforts by reporting to CCMC any illegal dumping, encroachment, improperly parked vehicles, and damage to property (if possible, provide a license plate number and description of the vehicles involved and ideally photographs). As an example of such damage, the undeveloped portion of Deer Ridge has become a site for drinking parties, fires, and possibly poachers. We have worked with the City to block access to this area, but residents can help by calling CCMC (572-1233) or the police if you witness such unlawful conduct.
Obviously, where legal process is required, it takes some time to get results, as property owners (those who are violating the CC&Rs) must be given a set amount of time to respond to each notice.

OA Board Member
As the resident Trustee on the SunCrest Owners Association Board, I would like to update you regarding the latest developments with Zion's Bank, the SunCrest Market, Comcast, and Covenants Enforcement in our community.
Zion's Bank:
Zion's informs me that they are in active discussions with at least six potential developers who are making serious offers to purchase the assets of SunCrest LLC and take over further development at SunCrest.
Zion's says it is looking for two primary qualifications: financial capability to undertake such a project, and experience with hillside development -- both of these qualifications are essential for success.
It appears unlikely, however, that one or more new developers would actually be able to take over much before the end of the year.
Zion's Bank is willing to appoint two Trustees to the OA Board, as required of the declarant, in order for the Board to be able to function in the interim. That should happen soon, and we can anticipate a September OA Board meeting.
SunCrest Market:
I am attaching a letter written to SunCrest residents by the owners of the Market, informing us of their intent to close the Market in roughly two weeks, and giving the reasons why. Please take the opportunity to shop there as they close out their inventory and express your appreciation to them. (Contents of the letter are found in the previous post)
Comcast:
We are awaiting the decision of the Bankruptcy Court on the proposal by SunCrest LLC to assign the Comcast bulk services agreement to the SunCrest OA. If this happens, we can review our options with Comcast.
Covenants Enforcement:
The management company (CCMC) has been working very hard to maintain the quality of our community and enforce the covenants. They have visited many homeowners who are not in compliance and have sent dozens of enforcement letters. Many of these have resulted in collection of amounts due, payment plans, and actions resolving issues such as parking and landscaping. In other cases, the homeowners (or absentee property
owners) have been unresponsive, and some of these issues have been turned over to the OA's attorney for further action, and/or reported to Draper City in cases where municipal ordinances are being violated. The City is taking at least one homeowner to court.
Under the CC&Rs and By-Laws, there are some actions that CCMC can take on behalf of the OA without further legal process. For example, CCMC has had Kimball Landscaping cut weeds on some neglected properties, and CCMC has removed trash cans from the streets and arranged for dumpsters to clean up some of the worst areas. I arranged last week for LDS Facilities Management to clean up the church site off SunCrest Drive and haul away illegally dumped trash and construction materials.
As residents, you can help us in these efforts by reporting to CCMC any illegal dumping, encroachment, improperly parked vehicles, and damage to property (if possible, provide a license plate number and description of the vehicles involved and ideally photographs). As an example of such damage, the undeveloped portion of Deer Ridge has become a site for drinking parties, fires, and possibly poachers. We have worked with the City to block access to this area, but residents can help by calling CCMC (572-1233) or the police if you witness such unlawful conduct.
Obviously, where legal process is required, it takes some time to get results, as property owners (those who are violating the CC&Rs) must be given a set amount of time to respond to each notice. The Covenants Committee of the OA has been hearing appeals and resolving disputes concerning fines and other enforcement actions.

Letter from the Market
Dear Suncrest Residents 2 August, 2008
As many of you are aware, Suncrest Market has served the residents of the community for just over four years. It has operated successfully by the sale of goods and services and support from Suncrest LLC. With the departure of the primary developer, the financial support the store received from them is gone. Knowing that this shortfall would not allow the store to continue to operate, we as store owners, made several efforts to make up this loss in revenue.
First, with the help of many concerned homeowners, we published and passed out a notice asking for each household to support the market by spending $35 a week in the store. This income would have made up the difference we needed to bridge the loss of income from the developer.
Second, we shaved store hours and other operational expenses to curb some costs of doing business. This did help to some degree but still left us far short of being profitable.
Third, at the changing of ownership, we confronted the current operators of the project with our circumstances and asked them to consider a number of options that would allow us to continue to operate. They did provide some assistance but were unable to get us enough support to maintain operations.
We therefore regretfully notify you that we will begin to close the market on Monday, August 4th.
Our new operating hours will be Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm and closed on Sundays. Our last day of operation will be Friday, August the 15th or sooner. For the week of August the 4th through August the 9th, discounts will be as follows: if you spend up to $50 you will receive a 10% discount- up to $100 you will receive a 20% discount- up to $150 or more you will receive a 30% discount. For the week of August the 11th through August the 16th there will be deeper discounts on all items. All sales will be final and there will be no returns or exchanges of any kind.
We would like to take an opportunity to thank you, the residents, for your support of the market these past 4 years. We have really appreciated the opportunity to serve you and be a convenient stop on your way up and down the mountain. We have come to be friends with many of you and we will miss that relationship.
It is our hope that over the next 2 weeks you will continue to use us as a secondary stop and take this chance to load up on groceries for a great price. If any of you have any questions or comments please feel free to email us at suncrestmarket@yahoo.com , or you may come into the store and talk with us directly. Again, we appreciate your business and wish you the very best for the future.
Sincerely,
Jake & Jerry Gaskin
