Presentation from MCO

Please join MCO Properties on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 5:30 pm for a presentation detailing their proposal for the SunCrest development.
The presentation will be held at Draper City Hall Council Chambers. Representatives from MCO will be on hand to present, explain and answer questions of in regards to their vision.

Update on Club house

The Draper City Council approved the plat amendment tonight and we are getting our long awaited clubhouse finally signed over to the OA. There was a tentative opening this weekend but is pushed off another week or so. The furniture won't be in until the 29th. There will be a soft opening in next week or so. Then you can come and check out the clubhouse, exercise room, and get your electronic passes. There will be a grand opening celebration in May. The life guards and heated pool will be open and ready Memorial weekend.

I also got a chance to sit in on a meeting tonight that had the MCO developer present its plans to Draper City for SunCrest. Very exciting stuff coming. They are still working on ideas but they showed lots in the hog hollow area from 1-5 acres. On the lot only a portion of it can be built and disturbed. The other part of lot is to be left natural and untouched. Other areas would have pocket subdivisions that have homes built around parks with rear entries. They want lots of park areas and possibly another clubhouse. I think they actually got the city excited about the new SunCrest. I can't wait for the presentation to be shown to the residents.

Update on new Developer, MCO

Notes from the OA Board Meeting on Tuesday, March 15th, submitted by Paula Roth, Eagle Crest resident:

I attended the Board of Directors meeting last night and thought you might find the comments from Jeremy Hall, President of MCO Properties, interesting.

Here it is in a nutshell:

• MCO Properties has been in existence since the early 70's and has a presence in every southwest state except for Utah.
• They specialize exclusively in hillside properties and have been looking at Suncrest for years (even when Terrabrook was still involved).
• They are in talks with Zions Bank and Draper City and have signed a purchase contract. They now have six months of due diligence and are currently trying to understand the geo-technical/land issues so that those can be addressed first and foremost.
• There is a long punch list of items that would need to be addressed by Zions, Draper City and/or MCO Properties if the sale is successful.
• First things would be water, drainage mitigation and roads.
• The vision of MCO Properties is to include significantly larger, multi-acre lots for custom homes to make the east portion of the development the "Deer Valley" of Draper. We foresee completion to take 15-20 years.
• If MCO takes over, they would start with a clean slate and re-plan the remainder of the undeveloped property, figuring significantly less build out than originally planned.
• MCO Properties is very much about working with the natural land, keeping a lot of open space and maintaining the wildlife corridor that already exists.
• They are talking to Draper City and Zions about completing pocket parks in already developed areas.
• They are meeting with both school districts to determine any issues that may exist.
• MCO will be holding a town hall meeting sometime in April so that residents can voice their concerns and receive further information from MCO Properties...watch your e-mail for notification from the Suncrest OA.

We were told that Draper City has been cooperative thus far and seem to simply want to fix the problems that currently exist.

Voting Delegate Elections will be held soon.

Next meeting dates: June 1, 2011 - Suncrest OA Annual Meeting; June 21, 2011 - Suncrest OA Board of Trustee Meeting.

Wishing you a beautiful spring...

All my best,

SunCrest Cell Tower

I have been communicating with City Manager, Layne Long and also Councilman Bill Rappleye today about the proposed Verizon Cell Tower update. In May 2009 Verizon met with residents about potential sites (see Cell Tower label on right-hand sidebar for full history) and options.

Today, the Owner's Association sent out a request at 2:00 requesting input on the cell tower for a meeting tonight that began at 6:00pm. Here is some of the correspondence:

Bill Rappleye

Thanks DeLaina, yes more notice should have been given! None on the council liked the monster tree design so a water tower design is being explored.
We do seek feedback on this new idea and concept.

Bill Rappleye Russ is in charge of this project but I did not have a sense there is a rush, bring the comments to the next council meeting (public comment at the first of the mtg)or we could work to have it as an agenda item at a future mtg.

Layne sent me the pictures of the proposed styles.

The top one is the Water Tower and the bottom is the called the Stealth Monopine. The location is just south of the market/The Cove.

Comment if you have an opinion or preference.

Status of SunCrest Clubhouse

The Occupancy permit has be signed by Draper City. We are just waiting for the Planning commission and city council to approve the zoning of the land the clubhouse sits on. Hopefully, the city will get this on the agendas and approved later this month.

Keep a look out for an email from SunCrest. There is a survey coming out about what clubs and activities you want to see at the clubhouse. If your not on the SunCrest email list please contact the management company at 801-572-1233.
