SHHA Monthly BOD Meeting Minutes September 12, 2007 at 7 p.m.
1. CALL TO ORDER: by Sy Caudill at 7p.m. at Sandia Heights Homeowners Association Office, 2-B San Rafael NE Albuquerque, NM.
2. ROLL CALL: (P- Present; A-Absent)
Visitors: George Connor, Bob Francis
On August 24 a situation arose regarding the proposed 2B San Rafael building request for rezoning for a behavioral institute. Rumors circulated among residents that the building would house mentally ill people. Channel 4 news interviewed Kerney Bolton and several Sandia Heights Residents. The EC met the next day and decided to hold a town hall meeting. It was held at the Church of the Good Shepherd on September 4th. In attendance at the town hall meeting was the owner of the property, his staff, David Campbell, SHHA attorney, and 30 Sandia Heights residents. As a result, the owner was persuaded to request a special use permit instead of a zoning change from A-1 to O-1. On September 5th a County hearing was held and the owner requested a deferral in order to prepare an A-1 Special Use Permit. The county granted him a 90-day deferral. Ed Tull and Sy Caudill attended the County rezoning meeting.
George Connor spoke regarding the 900 Tramway Lane. This property has been on a County Commissioners priority purchase list since 2002. George Connor would like to put political pressure on the County to purchase the property as open space. There are no open spaces in the NE Heights at this time. If this space were to be bought it would save free flowing arroyos, there would be no fear of future development, the view of the mountains and additional trails would benefit future generations. However, if the area is developed there will be a lot of traffic congestion, increased risk of flood, loss of views and use of the trails will be lost. George would like the board to support him in his efforts. Board discussion followed:
