Developer Update-Action Requested!

As we all know, the Raddon Brothers developers along with Ball Ventures investors, have been doing due diligence for the past few months in preparation for the purchase of SunCrest. The closing was originally set for mid-November, and has been postponed indefinitely, pending further approval and information from Draper City.

There are many rumors swirling around as to why the closing date has been postponed, some based on facts, others, not so much.

One thing we need to do as residents, is attend the Draper City Council meeting this Tuesday, December 16th at 7:00pm at City Hall (1020 E. Pioneer Rd./12400 S. west of the library) so that we can remind our elected officials that we are paying close attention to the procedures. There is a possibility that the developer will not be able to meet the requirements laid out by the city, and will have to walk away.

December is a busy time of year, and we all have many things to do. Please put this high on your priority list, and make the time to attend.

OA Board Meeting Date Change

From Resident OA Board Member, Barbara Blackmer:

Because of scheduling conflicts of other Board members, the next OA Board meeting will take place Monday, December 15 at 3:00 pm at the Information Center. We will have a quorum in order to conduct business, but probably not all the Board members will be in attendance.

Please don't park in the street, especially in the snow.

Here's an FYI from Mary Chamberlain regarding overnight parking on the streets:

We’re trying to gear up for winter here, and we need to use any resources available to us. This will be very useful for Residents that have neighbors that are chronic offenders of overnight parking. Most of the parking problems occur when the Management members are out of the office. Residents need to be willing to contact Draper City Police or Code Enforcement (Kasie Hall) in addition to notifying the management company.

Section 14-5-090 Enhanced Penalty.
Any person receiving six (6) or more notices for violating the parking provisions of this Chapter, or those set forth in Title 41 of the Utah Code Annotated, within the
jurisdiction of Draper City, within a 180-day period, which have not been dismissed, shall be subject to having his or her vehicle impounded.

Parents Please Help Keep Your Kids Safe!!!

From the OA Management:

December 9, 2008

To all Parents,

As you are all aware, there is a water feature that runs throughout the Village Green Park. We are quite concerned with the number of children that constantly play around or in the park while they are waiting for the school buses to arrive. We routinely ask them not to play in or around the pond, but this continues to happen. This morning, several children even stood on the thin ice, apparently unaware of the risks of drowning or hypothermia. We were very concerned for their safety and we asked them to leave the pond and to wait up front. Within 5 minutes, the same children and others joined them in standing on the ice again. Around 3pm in the afternoon, another group of boys were playing on the ice. Again, we asked them not to play on the ice as it is dangerous. We try to be vigilant about the children’s safety, but unfortunately, we do not have the ability to constantly monitor their behavior. Please help us to keep them safe by reminding them not to play in or around the pond. Thank you very much.

Election Results

Our Representatives have remained the same, and their contact info is:

SL County: Rep. Greg Hughes
541-6127 greghughes@utah.gov

UT County: Rep. John Dougall
492-1365 repjohndougall@gmail.com

Over the past couple of years, we have all seen how important it is to have legislators who are responsive and solution-oriented.

If you are new to the area, you may not realize that in 2007, one of the unintended consequences of the Jordan School District split was that everyone in SunCrest, including Southfield, Mercer Reserve, The Cottages etc. would have been part of the new district. As such, we would have had to drive our children up and over the mountain, to the Chevron station, to put our kids on a bus to Sandy. Our two representatives worked hard to pass legislation that allowed those who wanted their children in Alpine School District, to remain there, and for those who wished to be included in the Jordan District to be able to do so.

Let's Keep Our Snow to Ourselves

One of our residents just posted this message:

"I would appreciate Suncrest residents NOT snowblowing their snow onto the streets. It's really dangerous for some cars to hit this huge pile of snow and spin out. It's hard for cars to get thru that snow. PLEASE DO NOT SNOWBLOW OUT INTO THE STREETS. Thank you."

Please be considerate of everyone in the community by NOT snowblowing the snow into the streets. The plows are usually done by the time the snowblowers come out so there's nobody to come along and clean it up. It makes a dangerous layer of ice on the streets.

Corner Canyon Closure

Thanks Nate Kingdon for sending in this post:

To all,

Corner Canyon is closed from Bear Creek on the north to Clarks on the south.
We have put up signs and tape and bikers are still going around. Helicopters will be flying tomorrow morning. Anyone caught will be cited. The helicopter will be flying several tons of wood straw per load. If any of you could pass along this info on blogs or sites or anyplace someone may read it I would appreciate it. The canyon should be open by Monday. If you have any questions let me know. I will be working tomorrow.

Thanks,

I just spoke with Greg Hilbig at Draper City for a further explanation of what was open and what was closed. Greg confirmed that Clarks IS open this weekend. As long as we don¹t ride further North of Clarks. No Ghost Falls!
He is ok if we climb and descend Clarks.
