Bluegreen is building a bandstand behind Mulligans on the ski hill. There will be a series of concerts on the hill. The first is tonight, with a local rock band. On Friday, July 3, the Platters will be performing. Tickets will be $15. There will be 5 or 6 more concerts this season with the Coasters, a country band, and some other well known performers. the plans to bring the Beach boys fell through.
Natural gas: It is coming to the mountain. Not sure if this year or next.
However, there are some details which bother me. We had the Christmas Mountain Golf Estates homeowners meeting yesterday. (a community which bluegreen developed and is sold out). The gas line will be coming through the golf estates from Lyndon Road, supposedly costing $18,000 to Christmas Mountain Resort for this part. I heard numbers like costing Bluegreen $400 thousand plus to bring the lines in, and then the cost to connect to the units. (be prepared for an assessment if this is true).
Two members of the golf estates board finally met with Alliant energy after requesting the meeting for months. The meeting was June 27. They were told golf estates needs to give Alliant $134,000 by August first to be hooked up, but the hook up might not be til next year, in fact it probably won't be til next year. that is the cost in addition to the $18,000 for piping it through the golf estates. There are 133 lots, and 68 or so homes. 28 homes are on the line so the other 40 homes will receive a credit when they hook up for central heating. no credit to the 28 homes on the line going to the resort, because the line is running past their property, but they can not hook up to it unless the whole community upfronts the $134 thousand. All or nothing.
Now we have a lot in golf estates, and will be assessed for that, but we own a home and another lot in Christmas Mountain Village, and our board has been told nothing by alliant as to it costing up all these fees, except the cost to bring to the house . My community is even smaller than Golf Estates, about 45 homes and another 20 or so vacant lots. So we are holding our breaths about a potential assessment here too.
I would like to hear opinions about Alliants demands. they are hooking people up along Lyndon Road and Hwy P without assessing them, so this doesn't sound right to me. Also, is it customary to assess vacant lots?
