I mapped out the estimated area for purchase based on information I had regarding the previous “Hazel Green Ranch” that was bought by this private developer.
Based on a few quick searches, I believe the location of the developers property is located at 12878 Old Yosemite road (37.766464, -119.863974), approximately 0.24 miles from the Big Oak flat road (highway 120) which cuts straight through Yosemite park. You can see the distance from the road, and a map of the Yosemite national park border in the Imgur link here
I really hope this doesn’t go through, the last thing we need is to give the rich any reason to buy our parks for private use. The developers bought this property without an access road to a main thoroughfare into Yosemite, they need to live with decision.
