Stone Creek in West Jordan, Real Dumb !!
The Ranches @ Stone Creek in West Jordan is a real Senior Housing Community, but you couldn't tell it by looking. The Home Owners at the Ranches want you to be able to tell by looking. They think the best way to do that is to replace the monkey bars and plastic slide with amenities that better reflect their time of life. Nothing special, just what they thought was promised, park benches, a pavilion with picnic tables and a barbecue pit. Not a basketball court and playground.
"There seems to be no consideration given to the demographics of the community" said a letter to the city from the Home Owners Association. Other home owners have said that Peterson Development had not finished parks and open spaces as promoted and promised.
The city says that the open space issues stem from 3 problems. First, the developer has been slow to implement park projects. ( thats political talk for, the developer hasn't done what he said he would do). Second, the city has failed to make it's scheduled inspections. ( that means the city didn't do what it was supposed to do and the developer took advantage of it). Third, maps provided by Peterson Development to prospective residents may have led them to believe that the open space would be entirely manicured. (means the sales material did what it was supposed to do, but was not truthful).
Sounds like no one did what they were supposed to, and the older set is getting the run around. Cmon, were a better city than that. Peterson Development is a better company than that. Lets show it.
The developer owns a lot more land in that area, ( can the city government say leveradge) I'm sure the city can commit that come springtime, The Ranches @ Stone Creek will be minus a basketball court and have some nice barbeque areas for the geriatric set.
