Sanctuary Development meeting, Tuesday, 11 November

Friends,

The Sanctuary Development meeting last Tuesday evening in the Community Room, Library, was interesting and informational.  The room was full of citizens and Sanctuary personnel.  Mr. Robert Sulaski led the meeting.

It started with him asking if we knew anything about the property.  His geologist and others had researched/examined the property and discovered that there was a cave and water under the land.  Other than this, nothing.  The citizens had no other information.

Robert asked if there were questions?

For the next 90 minutes, it was question and answer time.  There were many, many questions and Robert answered each question patiently and with as much information as he could.  The development is still in the research/planning stages.

There were too many questions to list, much less to remember.  However, here are a few of the answers given:

There will be:

Homes ranging from $225,000 to $850,000.
A Wellness/fitness Center
Senior care facilities
An amphitheater for concerts, plays, etc. (over 1500 seats with very professional productions)
Many walking and biking trails
8 lakes
Shops
A boutique hotel (i.e. Hilton, Sheraton)
WildFire will remain as part of the Development
Medical care facility

The Development will

Help the city with the Sewer
Come into the City limits
Take 15-20 years to complete
Respect the Historical District of Salado to include shops
Directly Connect Main Street with Holland Road
Will NOT have a golf course; Salado's golf course will be used exclusively

The Developer

Has talked with the potential buyers of Stage Coach
"looked at" the Robertson Ranch land which is under contract with another Developer"
Will work with both potential buyers in planning
Will make Salado his home as well as have another home on the East Coast

The next meeting of Sanctuary is next Tuesday, 18 November, in the MUNICIPAL BUILDING, 6 P.M.

If the second meeting is anything like this last meeting, you will leave with much information.  The more you know; the better it will be.
