Sonoma Ridge, We Hardly Knew Ye

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the Weatherby Lake BOA
3-3 meeting

Luckily I followed my intuition and showed up last night rather than the previous night as directed by Mary. With my loading dose of No Doz in my blood stream I attended last night's 2.5 hour BOA monthly meeting. Interesting in what was said...and not said. Here we go:

West Ridge of Weatherby Lake
Say adios to Sonoma, and hello to West Ridge. The new developers (unnamed by Jerry) are closing this Friday to take possession of the property. Promises abound. A new company will be brought in to finish the redo of the containment pond walls (should be good news for all who have had anxiety over the lack of response). The developer plans to build 6 to 8 homes by Fall to be ready for the metro Tour of Homes. Jerry mentioned he had heard rumors of $150,000 homes, he said the developer intends to build/sell homes in the $350,000 to $500,000 range (remember the previous developer was talking well over $100,000 for a lot).

No discussion of multi-family dwellings, this will surely add fuel to one citizens angst over the lack of minorities and lower income families in WL.

Jerry mentioned the developer would like to have a gathering in the spring to allow the community to get to know them. Not a bad idea, in this economy they will need all the help they can get.
