2 issues in development with high priority
Ridges at Alpine / Angels Gate Agreement
After two years of negotiation, Highland locked in a deal with the Draper developer north of Angels Gate: city ownership of the water tank parcel, a guaranteed Hog Hollow trail connection, emergency access both directions, and $75,000 toward the Dry Creek lift station. It also formally reopens Angels Gate area trail access.
Assisted living facility in Sky Estates
Developers want to replace the 13-year-vacant commercial lot in Sky Estates with a 75-unit, 67,500-square-foot assisted living and memory care facility — 61% bigger than the planned development allows. Neighbors worry about shared parking with the clubhouse, emergency vehicle traffic, construction disruption, and the loss of neighborhood character.
