SunCrest OA board meeting

Here are some unofficial meeting minutes:

-We are getting the clubhouse. Zions is working on getting the occupancy permit with the city. We should have the club house within the next couple of months.
-We are getting the club house unfurnished. There is a kitchen with refrigerators, counters, and sinks. But that is it. It isn't approved for a grill. There is a workout room that has almost all the equipment except for items likes treadmill, StairMaster, bike, etc. Also a few tables and chairs.
-The OA has money set aside that can be used to furnish the club house so we can at least use it and move the management company in there.
-There will be an HOA increase in dues to cover the club house. It may be around $35 extra a month. This will still need to be discussed.

-We also get the Pool! It was cleaned and filled so it could pass inspection, which it did. By the time we get the club house we won't be able to use it until next summer.

-The roads in Eagle Crest should be finished in about a week. They will finish it with a final coat of slurry seal. Zions is working to finish all roads but SunCrest drive to try and get them turned over to the city.

-Developer? Nope lots of interest but no offers in the works. Zions said because of the economy it may be awhile. Now the city says a developer is interested that they are working with but Zions said no has made any offers to them?

-There is no one interested in the SunCrest market at this time.

-Does anyone have information about a helicopter that landed on property on Falcon Ridge last night and took off at 7am this morning. Let the SunCrest office know.

TRSSD tax rate approval

Draper City is holding a meeting on September 21st at 8:30pm at city hall chambers to adopt a revised property tax rate for Traverse Ridge Special Services District.

The City will be holding a TRSSD meeting to adopt a revised property tax rate. This is the rate the Utah State Tax Commission has certified as the equalized tax rate for the District which means it is a weighted average of the two counties certified tax rates. The word ‘certified’ means there was no tax dollar increase, but due to some change in legislation the formula cities have used for years to calculate the tax rate was changed and became much more complicated.

The original tax rate adopted by the City and originally certified by the State was .003263.

The revised tax rate is .003171 and is the rate property owners have received on their tax notices already.

SunCrest Clubhouse?

Have you noticed some road construction in Eagle Crest? Well Zion's Bank hired Utah Homes to do the needed repairs so the city will take over the roads in Eagle Crest. Now its been noticed that they are working on the clubhouse now. The pool is all cleaned out, landscaping going in, and working in the inside. In order for the clubhouse to get its occupancy permit it needed to finish those same things. I haven't heard nor has SunCrest management if Zion's plans to open the Clubhouse. It sure would be nice, but nicer if they did it when we could actually USE the pool. Oh, and Utah homes plans on taking that ugly trailer above the market when they are finished.

Tunnel under Traverse Ridge?

New information: The tunnel and land acquisition was voted and approved by not only Salt Lake County Council, who funded the money, but Draper Councilmen, Walker, Summerhayes, and Stenquist. Ms. Davis and Mr. Colbert voted against the deal. This was all approved in July 2009. The April 2010 meeting about the tunnel was to vote to ask for grants to cover the cities tunnel expense up to $190,000. No grants have been received as of yet. As for the winter ice build up over the tunnel. I was told that their should be enough utilities and material between the tunnel and road that it wouldn't freeze over like a highway overpass would.

You may have been wondering about all that construction going down the mountain on Traverse Ridge. They are actually building a tunnel for a trail system. Remember last year Salt Lake County helped Draper purchase 141 acres for $2.75 million from South Mountain Developer, Terry Diehl. A condition in the settlement was that Mr. Diehl provide access to link the newly acquired acres called Little Valley for a trail system. Below is the Draper City council minutes from April 20, 2010. There is also a resolution 10-21 talking about the little valley tunnel. It states Draper city will pay up to $190,000 for the tunnel. (If you click on the pictures they become larger) Well sorry I didn't catch this during discussions in April so you could be notified and make your comments to the city council. I guess its the LITTLE VALLEY TUNNEL part that didn't catch my attention. I sure hope they plan on putting some kind of heat tape on the road going over the tunnel, because the wind sure does whip snow through there in the winter. I would think black ice would develop causing major problems for US who have drive down the mountain. I sure hope the deer get some use out of the tunnel instead of crossing the street :-)
