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

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.
