... and the vote is a big NO.

The Granite Bay Municipal Advisory Committee is authorized to act only as advisers to the Placer County Board of Supervisors, but the five-member council denied the plans of the Enclave at Granite Bay, a proposed 27-unit age-restricted development located on a little over 12 acres in the heart of an established subdivision.

The particular parcel is zoned for only 6 units on those 12 acres and the the proposal was to jump that to 26 units in the same space. Bad news for the development group Rancho Cortina Properties, Inc. But not the final word on the subject. Because even though the MAC denied approval of the project, it is an advisory council only. The Enclave proposal is scheduled to go before the Placer County Planning Commission in June and it will be up to the Placer County Planning Commission to make the final call.

I was reading the news the other day and came across this little tid-bit.  The report is about the top Wealth Centers in the United States and it polled information from the US Census Bureau to create a formula to analyze the relative affluence of over 2,000 cities, incorporated towns and unincorporated urban areas with populations of 15,000 or more. 

Four communities in the tri-county area (Sacramento County, Placer County and El Dorado County) made the top 250 with Granite Bay, CA breaking in to the top 20 at number 18 on the list.  The other cities were El Dorado Hills, Fair Oaks and Folsom (at numbers 57, 240 and 247 respectively).

Factors such as median home price, income, education and vehicle ownership among other things were taken into account. 

Check out the full article and more information at the Sacramento Biz Journal .  It is an interesting read.

Here is another quick iPhone video I shot while I was out running Granite Bay. This time I stopped in front of Wedgewood. Wedgewood is another upscale, gated community in the area of the Granite Bay Golf Club. I also had the chance to take my HD camera out while looking at homes behind the gates of a couple of these neighborhoods and will be posting that a little later. Much higher quality. :)

The Folsom Crossing Project is finally having it's day in the sunlight as the new bridge will be opening for traffic on Saturday, March 28th.  This is great news as it will re-open a commute corridor that has been closed since 2003 (Folsom Dam Road was closed due to safety concerns after 9/11).

This provides a great way to connect not only the older and newer areas of Folsom with each other, but also provides a great commute path between the communities of El Dorado Hills and Granite Bay.  Both areas rated in Money Magazines top 100 places to live in the United States.

Check out the link here to the Event Info posted at GoGraniteBay.com where you can read a bit more about it and follow the links to additional information.

Have a great one!

Here is a quick video I shot from my iPhone while out running Granite Bay today. Greystone Place is an upscale, gated community located on the backside of Granite Bay Golf Club. It is located off of Barton Rd and there is access to a public trail nearby that will take you all the way out to Auburn-Folsom Blvd and Folsom Lake.

Have a great one!

You heard right. Bunco and Poker together. That either makes it a Punco or a Boker evening. :)

Anyhow, this is a local event coming up in April that benefits the Roseville Community School (a small non-profit parent involvement school) and it looks like it will probably be a lot of fun. The date to reserve is April 17th and it is a ticket donation of $25.00 per person. It is an adults only event and runs from 5:30pm - 10:00pm. For your $25 you get: Dinner, 2 Raffle tickets, 1 Drink Ticket, and eligibility for all BUNCO/POKER prizes. Not bad for an evenings entertainment and it helps a good cause. Roseville Community School is a 501c3 non-profit so donations may even be tax deductible (check with you accountant on this).

For additional information on how to get tickets visit:

www.GoGraniteBay.com Events.

If you sign-up for an account on the site (Free) then you can even RSVP to the event.

Thanks for taking a look and maybe I will see you there!
