ANSWER............. Carl, The answer is really quite simple. It will take $700,000 to purchase the property. It appraises for substantially less than the selling price. Not to mention that the County has several other obligations to fulfill before we get something. Now if we were to all write to the commissioners and let them know what a lovely job they are doing at ignoring the Zirconia residents, maybe, just maybe something might happen. The short answer Carl, is that the property does not appraise high enough. ********************************************************************************************* Posted June 22, 2008 From: Cathy Beall/Night Song Refuge 377 High Wood Lane.

I think that a GRCA member should have a Zirconia address. NOT Flat Rock. Since they did away with Tuxedo (for some of us). 2. Whoever did the Green River Township Facts needs to do their homework and get the correct information on Churches, streams and cemeteries in our area. 3. What percent of the officers and members have computers and do email? It would be interesting to know this. ******************************************************************************** Reply to Carl Taylor’s question of May 8, 2008 (see below): Posted May 11, 2008 The presentation delivered at the County Commissioner’s meeting on May 5 was reviewed and approved by the GRCA Board. Prior to that, an email was sent to all GRCA members for whom we have email addresses. This email solicited opinions on the Cobblestone question. There were few responses but the majority of them opposed extending water to Cobblestone. The GRCA position presented to the Commissioners focused primarily on the failure of the planning process used by the County that led to the Cobblestone problem and the fact that developers and new residents get benefits while the current residents get no benefits. Your point that a reliable water supply would be an asset to some residents is a valid one. We would like to hear from residents with similar views to see if there is a way to satisfy this without getting widespread development with it. The presentation to the Commissioners was made by Larry Rostetter, a member of the GRCA, who also lives in Kenmure. The part of Kenmure south of Pinnacle Mountain Road is in the Green River Community and has approximately 100 residents at this time. The presentation was to be delivered by a member of the GRCA Board but he became ill shortly after starting and Larry stepped in to deliver the rest of the presentation. Larry is a volunteer who has been supporting GRCA by maintaining our web site. Residents of Kenmure, Pinnacle Falls and Cobblestone are a part of the Green River Community. GRCA can do a better job in representing community needs if we engage all of the residents of the community to work toward common goals.

I think that to have a reliable source of water available to this area would be an asset to the residents of our community. I don't believe that a Kenmure resident can relate to the needs of the people who live in Green River/Tuxedo etc. area |
