Exciting New Developer News!!!!
Dear SunCrest Friends,
We have some EXCELLENT news for you!
Today at the OA meeting, we were introduced to Andrew Hatton-Ward with Raddon Brothers Development. Raddon Brothers is currently doing their due diligence, and working with Zions Bank and Draper City in order to be able to close on the purchase of SunCrest on November 14th, 2008. Mr. Hatton-Ward was kind enough to stay after the meeting for some question and answer, and here is what we learned:
1. Mr. Hatton-Ward was the first Draper City Manager and has intimate knowledge of SunCrest.
2. He has lived in UT since 1984, and expressed interest in buying/building his own home in SunCrest in a couple of years.
3. Raddon Brothers has a good working relationship with Draper City.
4. Raddon Brothers owns and developed the Hidden Valley Shopping Center.
5. The Idaho group who developed melaleuca is one of the financiers of the purchase.
6. Mr. Hatton-Ward indicated that he is eager to work with SunCrestResidents.org and to effectively communicate with residents.
7. He would like to come to our next meeting and share information. Stay tuned for that meeting date! Since we had a Meet the Candidate Event this month in lieu of our regular meeting, we may try to move the next SR.org meeting to October 14th.
8. The main focus for the Raddon Brothers will be to get the infrastructure in place, to find an owner for the market, to finish the Clubhouse and get it open ASAP.
9. There won’t be much new development in SunCrest for the first year or so, except for the +/-60 lots for sale that they inherited) as they put all the pieces back together and wait for the market to improve.
10. They expect that SunCrest will be a 5-10 year project before they reach build-out, for an additional 2400 units.
11. There will be changes to the Master Development Agreement.
12. Getting the pocket parks built and maintained will be a top priority.
13. Raddon Brothers is interested in resident feedback regarding the Comcast contract.
I’m sure we all have a lot of questions, some that the developer will be able to answer, some that they won’t. If you have specific questions, please post them as comments* and we will do our best to track down the answers for you and post them in response. The value in posting them publicly is that we all benefit from seeing the responses, and the developer will be able to effectively address the issues on the blog, reaching 450+ people at a time, so post away!
SunCrestResidents.org is a great way to communicate with many residents at one time! Please share the news with your neighbors and encourage them to check the blog frequently for updates.
*if for some reason you can't post to the comments, feel free to e-mail me at delainatonks@comcast.net and I'll post your question for you.

Garbage Cans INSIDE=good, Garbage Cans OUTSIDE=bad
From Mary Chamberlain, SunCrest OA Operations Manager:
I have seen a noticeable increase in trash can violations over the past few weeks. Please post this on your website as a reminder to the Residents of how to store their trash cans properly. I feel that it is a waste of time and money to have to create and mail 30+ garbage can violation letters every week.
-Trash Containers & Collection 4.2.11: No garbage or trash shall be placed or kept on any Lot or Parcel, except in covered containers of a type, size, and style which are approved by the Design Review Board or required by the applicable Municipal Authority. In no event shall such containers be maintained so as to be visible from neighboring property, except to make the same available for collection. All rubbish, trash and garbage shall be removed from the Lots and Parcels and shall not be allowed to accumulate thereon. Fines for this violation are $25 per day
Please remember to store your containers out of site-i.e. in your garage or behind your fence, if you have one. It is still visible if it is: on your front porch, in your bushes, on the side of your house, in your window wells, etc
If anyone has to keep their trash containers outside temporarily due to extenuating circumstances such as-staining your garage floor, etc., please send me an e-mail and let me know so that I am aware of your situation.
Thank you all for helping to keep SunCrest looking its best.

Parking Mess at Mercer Reserve
I drove by Mercer Reserve today and noticed dozens of cars parked on the street. After a little checking, I found out that a company named "Oh, Sweet Sadie" was having some sort of arts/crafts Openhouse there. I'm not sure how those of you who live on Winged Trace could even get into your driveways!
I just wanted to let you know that you do have the option of calling the Draper Police at 840-4000 if that type of mess continues tomorrow. According to Draper City Code business activities are not allowed that are detectable by sight or sound from outside the unit, or if they are a hazard or nuisance.

Come on, People!
To All,
As I was afraid of, the dumpsters are overflowing. We specifically informed everyone that it was first come, first serve-and once it was full-nothing more could be deposited. (Especially not left on the ground next to the dumpster)
Right now they are unloading the excess trash from the top of the dumpster before they can even remove it. We will have to pay to get another dumpster to remove the excess trash, and then load it up. (I don’t know anyone else that has to go in to work, and load up someone else’s trash for them like we will have to (again).)
We can no longer provide this service because it was a privilege that was abused.
I am really disappointed.

1. Welcome/Overview of mission of SR.org: DeLaina Tonks
Many entities have the ability to make decisions that affect our daily lives: developer, city, school district etc. Our job is to work to communicate effectively with each one to ensure that the best interests of those who live here are being taken into consideration.
2. Transportation Safety Committee Update: Sarah Kocsis
a. Traverse Ridge Road Closure student drop-off/pick-up plan (see previous post)
b. Bus Safety Protocol
c. Lone Oak/Eagle Crest speeders…SLOW DOWN!!
3. Ridgeline PTA/School District Update: Ashleigh Spencer
www.ridgelinepta.blogspot.com
a. Jobs/transfer student status
Ridgeline currently has several aide positions available. Contact the school for more information.
ALL SunCrest students now have resident status in Alpine School District, thanks to the passage of HB 349 in Jan. 2008. If anyone has trouble enrolling students at Ridgeline, Timberline or Lone Peak, call me at 495.9559 and I can help work it out.
4. SunCrest Half Update: Jason Koop www.utahmountainracing.com
9/6 8am-volunteers needed to help clear trails for the race on 9/13.
9/13 6:30am-volunteers needed to help run the race, register runners, etc.
Contact Jason at 790-4431 to sign up to help.
5. OA Board Update: Barbara Blackmer
a. UFA Report-Ben Sherer has been in contact w/Barbara, and here are some things to consider should we encounter a fire in SunCrest:
STAY CALM! Don't panic!
Evacuations are hard to miss. There will be a reverse 911 call, PD and others will go door to door etc.
Don't spray your roof/shrubs w/water. The water rolls off the roof and takes pressure away from firefighters.
If there IS an evacuation, LEAVE! There were several stubborn reisdents in the Bear Hollow area who refused to leave their homes, and firefighters and Draper PD had to spend time talking/convincing, and finally taking them out of there.
Info. flyers are available with more info. Contact Barbara if interested.
b. CERT
Sept. 13 there is a CERT Training course, volunteers are needed to be victims. Contact Barbara at barbarablackmer@comcast.net for more info.
c. Other
DUMPSTER DAYS are here again, across from the Info Center, Sept. 4-7. PLEASE do not pile stuff around the dumpster. Claudia, Mary and I had to clean up all the nasty tree branches, mattresses and construction supplies from last time. Dump responsibly!
BOOK EXCHANGE-Coming soon, there will be a Book Exchange available at the Info Center!
TAX VALUATIONS If you would like information on appealing your tax valuation, contact Barbara.
6. Management Company Update: Tod Bean
The Management Company is now located in the Info Center!!! Tod, Mary and Claudia are now more accessible, and able to help residents.
Tod mentioned that people are calling to complain about landscaping violations, wanting to know what is being done. Due to confidentiality, Tod and Mary are not able to disclose names or status. They can let you know that they are working to resolve the problem.
7. Draper City Update: Spence Angerbauer/DeLaina Tonks
a. Assistant City Manager-David Dobbins (duties include SunCrest)
Spence had a terrific meeting w/Mr.Dobbins. Some ideas that came out of the meeting were to have quarterly meetings in SunCrest. The first will hopefully be mid-October. Stay tuned. Some of the reasoning behind holding these types of meetings would be to mitigate rumors, aid in communicating resident/city expectations, increase DIRECT communication etc.
The overall theme for the meeting was how to strengthen Draper City/SunCrest relationships, and we believe some very positive steps were taken to this end.
b. City Manager-Layne Long
The same types of measures were discussed with Mr. Long, with the same results. He shared with us that the salt dome that is being put in on SunCrest Dr. will not look like a traditional salt dome. It will be more aesthetically pleasing and fit in better with the beautiful environment in SunCrest.
Again, one of the biggest reasons we met w/City officials was to dispel misinformation and rumors. As an organization, we have always worked diligently to get information directly from the source. We have met with the finance director regarding TRSSD and have a better understanding of how it works now that there is someone in place to adequately articulate the process. We have regular conversations with the school districts on both sides of the mountain, City officials, the OA Board members, the management company, and occasionally Zions Bank, all in an effort to be in a position to share ACCURATE information. We are not in the buiness of rumor-mongering or encouraging a "mob mentality". We believe that direct communication leads to understanding and solutions.
c. Volunteerism
Another way we can repair damaged relations w/the City is to invest our time and efforts into making Draper a better place. From SunCrest, we have two Draper Youth Council Advisors, two members of the Emergency Prep. Committee, the organizer of the Draper Days tennis tournament, a City Council member, a member of the Tree Committee, the organizers of the SunCrest Half, and several others who have applied for various committees. Getting involved is fun!
i. Haunted Hollow is the last Monday in October, and there is currently a need for some volunteers to help out for this one-time event. Contact DeLaina if interested.
8. Dates to Remember:
a. Sept 6th-trail clearing for the SunCrest Half 8am

9/13 6:30am-volunteers needed to help run the race, register runners, etc.

5. OA Board Update: Barbara Blackmer
a. UFA Report-Ben Sherer has been in contact w/Barbara, and here are some things to consider should we encounter a fire in SunCrest:
STAY CALM! Don't panic!
Evacuations are hard to miss. There will be a reverse 911 call, PD and others will go door to door etc.
Don't spray your roof/shrubs w/water. The water rolls off the roof and takes pressure away from firefighters.
If there IS an evacuation, LEAVE! There were several stubborn reisdents in the Bear Hollow area who refused to leave their homes, and firefighters and Draper PD had to spend time talking/convincing, and finally taking them out of there.
Info. flyers are available with more info. Contact Barbara if interested.
b. CERT
Sept. 13 there is a CERT Training course, volunteers are needed to be victims. Contact Barbara at barbarablackmer@comcast.net for more info.
c. Other
DUMPSTER DAYS are here again, across from the Info Center, Sept. 4-7. PLEASE do not pile stuff around the dumpster. Claudia, Mary and I had to clean up all the nasty tree branches, mattresses and construction supplies from last time. Dump responsibly!
BOOK EXCHANGE-Coming soon, there will be a Book Exchange available at the Info Center!
TAX VALUATIONS If you would like information on appealing your tax valuation, contact Barbara.
6. Management Company Update: Tod Bean
The Management Company is now located in the Info Center!!! Tod, Mary and Claudia are now more accessible, and able to help residents.
Tod mentioned that people are calling to complain about landscaping violations, wanting to know what is being done. Due to confidentiality, Tod and Mary are not able to disclose names or status. They can let you know that they are working to resolve the problem.
7. Draper City Update: Spence Angerbauer/DeLaina Tonks
a. Assistant City Manager-David Dobbins (duties include SunCrest)
Spence had a terrific meeting w/Mr.Dobbins. Some ideas that came out of the meeting were to have quarterly meetings in SunCrest. The first will hopefully be mid-October. Stay tuned. Some of the reasoning behind holding these types of meetings would be to mitigate rumors, aid in communicating resident/city expectations, increase DIRECT communication etc.
The overall theme for the meeting was how to strengthen Draper City/SunCrest relationships, and we believe some very positive steps were taken to this end.
b. City Manager-Layne Long
The same types of measures were discussed with Mr. Long, with the same results. He shared with us that the salt dome that is being put in on SunCrest Dr. will not look like a traditional salt dome. It will be more aesthetically pleasing and fit in better with the beautiful environment in SunCrest.
Again, one of the biggest reasons we met w/City officials was to dispel misinformation and rumors. As an organization, we have always worked diligently to get information directly from the source. We have met with the finance director regarding TRSSD and have a better understanding of how it works now that there is someone in place to adequately articulate the process. We have regular conversations with the school districts on both sides of the mountain, City officials, the OA Board members, the management company, and occasionally Zions Bank, all in an effort to be in a position to share ACCURATE information. We are not in the buiness of rumor-mongering or encouraging a "mob mentality". We believe that direct communication leads to understanding and solutions.
c. Volunteerism
Another way we can repair damaged relations w/the City is to invest our time and efforts into making Draper a better place. From SunCrest, we have two Draper Youth Council Advisors, two members of the Emergency Prep. Committee, the organizer of the Draper Days tennis tournament, a City Council member, a member of the Tree Committee, the organizers of the SunCrest Half, and several others who have applied for various committees. Getting involved is fun!
i. Haunted Hollow is the last Monday in October, and there is currently a need for some volunteers to help out for this one-time event. Contact DeLaina if interested.

Lost Cat
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS LOST CAT, PLEASE CONTACT KATHY ASAP.
My blind cat was lost over the 3 day weekend. I was out of town and he somehow got out of the house and I cannot find him anywhere. He wears a collar with his name and my phone number. Can you post this or send a group email to neighbors? I need to know what happened to him, even if someone found him on the side of the road. He was old and frail, and I doubt he would have survived the weather over the weekend.
I would appreciate anything you can do to spread the word. I called Draper Animal Shelter and they have not received him.
Thank you,

Bus Stop Traffic Pattern Sept. 2-Sept. 20
This post is to notify you of the new traffic pattern at the bus stop/ Information Center, due to the road closure and construction on Traverse Ridge Road.
Effective tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 2nd Traverse Ridge Road will be closed to entering traffic. Parents need to enter the bus stop via Deer Ridge Road to drop children off and pick them up. Due to limited access and because this entrance/exit is very narrow, if you can, please park your car along Deer Ridge Road and walk up to the bus stop using the sidewalk next to the Village Green. If you need to enter, please make note of the new traffic loop marked by the arrows on the map attached below. For the safety of the children and the limited access, please follow the directions provided. We will have volunteers to also help with safety. If you need to park your car near the bus stop, please park up by the community center and not next to the fire station to allow that entrance/exit to be less congested.
By request of Draper City engineering, please emphasize that students/children should NOT be walking on or near Traverse Ridge Road until ALL the work is completed.
This will be the traffic pattern until construction on Traverse Ridge Road is completed, which is projected for Saturday, Sept. 20th.
Thank you,
Sarah Kocsis
Suncrest Transportation Safety Committee Chairman
