To the Hillcrest Community
We wanted to clarify that the Hillcrest Community is not in our proposed annexation area. We understand the concerns and our goal is to make a quality active adult lifestyle-oriented development and amenities that would enhance the surrounding community.
We have about seven hundred acres in total and have put together a development team to create a new home community. Four hundred acres of that total is in a Permanent Habitat Protection Easement which will maintain fantastic views and be a place everyone in the community can enjoy. This easement mitigates the loss of agricultural land and creates a safe space for local wildlife.
Safety is a priority and part of our process will include studies that determine whether a new fire station is required and what other infrastructure measures are needed to make the community safe.
Currently we are submitting a Pre-Annexation Application with the City of Merced. For now, this simply means it would be in consideration and potentially supported for annexation into city limits at a later time if the City Council agrees to the concept.
We have a quality and experienced team of architects, land planners and engineers working on this residential project. We are planning for it to be a terrific community with great views, and it will have access to amenities not currently offered for everyone in the surrounding area. Of course this will all take time and will be done factoring in feedback we receive. We feel certain this would create new membership potential for the Merced Golf & Country Club as well. This would of course raise your property values.
Thank you,
The Yosemite Lake Village Team
