Draper neighborhood on edge as more homes could slide off cliff
“All our kids hung out at that house almost daily,” said Matt Lambourne, who lives across the street, “It’s where the Kimbells lived. And They were quite literally like a cornerstone of the neighborhood and community.”
Since Saturday, the only parts of the home left are its master bedroom and part of the entryway. The rest, along with the entire neighboring home to its left, are in shambles at the bottom of the cliffside.“We have two down, one that we’re really concerned about, and the fourth one that we’ve condemned,” said Draper City Mayor Troy Walker, “But that’s not as big a concern as this other house.
“All we’re trying to do now is keep people out,” said Walker. “Down below we have people down there taking stuff out of the debris, like hiking down and getting stuff... It’s bizarre with the house sitting up there potentially, you know, [falling].”“There’s nothing down there valuable enough to risk your life for,” said Walker.
The mayor said if anyone in the Suncrest neighborhood is worried, they can call the building department and a building inspector will look at their home.
