The New Sisters Village (Pine Meadow Ranch) development is entering Phase III of the project.

The newest of Sisters' roads in the PMR development will be paved sometime in April.

The new sewer lines in Phase III are completed. The water lines are going in right now.

Doug Sokol, a partner in the Pine Meadow Ranch Development Company, explained the process:

"They can put in the sewer and water and utilities, but when it comes to grading and putting in the curbs and sidewalks it can't be muddy like this."

Phase III is another 36 lots zoned for residential units. Phase II has 14 available lots. In the combined single family homes the Pine Meadow Development has a total of 111. They've sold half of the lots.

In February 2003 the development's designated hotel site sold to an attorney in Eugene for $ 1.7 million.

The hotel site consists of lots 3, 4, and 5 in the commercial area of the Pine Meadow Development. Lots 3 and 4 are restricted to hotel use only.

"It can't be resold and something else go in there. It has to be a hotel," Sokol said.

Scott McCleery, owner of the hotel site, has contacted the Sokols about his plans for a hotel.

"My wife talked to him last week (February 9-13). He's been trying to put a group together to do this. He has told my wife that he's found someone who's interested. Scott wants to bring someone in on one capacity or another," Sokol said.

McCleery was unavailable for comment.
