Major Concerns
1. Processing Materials on-site (mini-gravel pit) creating noise (8 am to 5 pm) and dust.
2. There are too many lots for this “mountainous terrain”. (City staff implies 86 lots would be desireable.)
3. There is not a “non-disturbance buffer” along much of the boundary with Tallwoods.
4. Nearly 80% of the gross area (83 acres) will be stripped of all vegetation, surface rock and topsoil and then re-vegetated.
5. The stable hillside (5 or 6 acres) below lots 109-114 will be stripped. This hillside watershed converges virtually to a point (2 Eagle Crest lots) substantially increasing the risk for flooding and erosion.
6. The secondary access would be Talon Reach Court (cul-de-sac with lots of children) that would increase traffic volumes about 4-fold, and negate earlier Council action approving the cul-de-sac.
7. Eagle Crest Drive will be used to transport home construction materials to lots 127-147.
8. The Lot A, for the Memorial Park, will remain zoned Regional Commercial, but 6 homes may end up there.
9. There is a lack of internal connectivity – 21 lots are separated from the other 126 lots.
10. There is no neighborhood park or clubhouse to unite the residents.
Major Recommendations
1. Eliminate the on-site processing of materials – an industrial activity surrounded by nice homes makes no sense.
2. Less than 100 lots would be much more compatible with the natural terrain.
3. Provide a Non-Disturbance buffer along the complete boundary with Tallwoods like other existing residential lots.
4. Construct a 30 to 35-foot street generally between lots 11/12 and 130, which 1) will increase the non-disturbance area about 5 or 6%, 2) eliminate the need to strip a very stable slope, 3) avoid building materials being transported on Eagle Crest Drive,4) avoid dumping traffic onto a cul-de-sac 5) provide connectivity between the separate areas and 6) honoring commitments of previous Council action.
5. Lot A should be rezoned residential (R4), in the event the Monument Park does not happen. If it does, the city should issue an appropriate special use permit. Also, all of the open space acreage should be zoned as such “OS”.
6. There should be a neighborhood park and/or a clubhouse.

The developers behind Mountain Park Estates keep ignoring our warnings but this surge of momentum proves they can no longer hide from the community. They think they can bulldoze our neighborhood for profit while we watch our hillside crumble to dust. We are forcing them to pay attention to these legitimate dangers before they ruin our homes forever.

Delete industrial material processing, monument park, and leave Talons Reach a culdesac as it was originally intended.
We do not want anyone stripping or digging up the hill behind eagle crest drive. This will result in additional water drainage issues for the homes backing up to this area. Most of us have already experienced flooding due to the runoff. Stripping the area of its existing vegetation and root system would only cause more erosion and drainage at a faster rate.
The southern most south facing steep slope on the lot (facing Utah Lake) must not in ANY WAY be disturbed, the result would be disastrous for the homes below. No materials processing, and parcel should be entirely zoned R4.
I agree with the concerns. I am not opposed to development - just do it right and protect what little open space is still available in Draper and protect the citizens who currently live in Suncrest and pay city taxes. Full disclosure on all aspects of development , current and future should be expected. This development will be at the heart of Suncrest it should be a gem that improves the community and not take away from this unique location that the city of Draper has created.
Many concerns about this project. Especially Talons Reach Court access not being safe and processing materials on site. 15057 Talons Reach Ct., Draper, UT 84020
Vote "No" to the current "Shoe Box" proposal.
I’m a Suncrest resident and the current proposals are highly concerning.

Giving my support to the concerns and recommendations. Also, please remove lot 147 and trim 142 so there is a buffer between our home and the new development.
