White Acres Annexation Meeting on Wednesday Dec 3rd   Message List

Re: Medicine Wheel - White Acres Annexation Meeting on Wednesday Dec 3rd

We're on it.  The Corral Bluffs planning process looks like it will take at least a year, maybe more, but I'm in contact with the City about it and will definitely keep the MW community informed and involved.

The White Acres topic is a lot more involved than the public is generally aware.  I believe (and this is strictly my personal opinion) that Mr. Howard and the church are playing public opinion to try to force council to buy it.  It is a matter of public record that at least one major project that Mr. Howard is involved in is under foreclosure.  Add to that the fact that there is literally NO market for developed housing lots and one can see that Mr. Howard and the church will be under tremendous pressure, financially.  It would take a significant amount of money to develop the lots, money which I don't believe is available.  (I say this as a developer myself)  I think patience is the key and that white acres can eventually be bought for much closer to what is a reasonable price.

Hey Rob,
 
They bought Corral Bluffs instead?   :( 
 
From speaking with Lee Milner and others involved with Corral Bluffs, there may be potential for new MTB trails at Corral Bluffs.  IMHO, It's freeride heaven.
 
I would suggest Med Wheel actively take part in the master planning process for the Corral Bluffs property also?  Just a thought.

Subject: Medicine Wheel - White Acres Annexation Meeting on Wednesday Dec 3rd

The city has rejected buying White Acres for open space. There's a meeting
about annexing White Acres tomorrow from 6 to 8 PM at Midland Elementary
School, 2110 West Broadway Street.

It sounds like the developer has agreed to leave half of it undeveloped. It's
not clear if that means the singletrack along the ridge will be left intact.
Even if it is I don't want to be looking at a few dozen houses. I plan to be
at the meeting to find out more.
