Suller-Miller Property, Santiago Cyn.
Rd.
| Project Description - |
The John Martin family interests have acquired the 68-acre Hanson properties collection on the Sully-Miller site in East Orange, including the 7.6-acres on the south side of Santiago Canyon Road. JMI Properties-Santiago Partners is composed of Orange Park Acres resident John Martin and his family, and other investor associates. JMI Properties is also in escrow with the Sully-Miller Land Company to acquire the remaining portions of the 116 acres. The property is a major wildlife corridor and has the potential to become an incredible neighborhood nature park. With a creek full of frogs, trail opportunities, world-class birding, lots of tranquil space, and an undeveloped floodplain, this is a perfect opportunity to preserve a natural refuge for a crowded city. There is even potential for a family-run organic farm! SCWPRP's GOAL: to preserve biological function of the
Watershed and preserve/restore habitat for threatened wildlife. |

Irvine Company Proposed 4000-unit Residential Development (Santiago Hills
Phase II/Orange Hills/Irvine Lake),
Jamboree/Santiago
Cyn. Rd.
| Project Description - |
Large-scale (4000 homes!), conventional residential/commercial development
and golf course proposed for valuable wilderness area along Jamboree and
Santiago Canyon Road. Development will take away vital habitat for Mule
Deer, Bobcats, Coyotes, Cactus Wren, Western Meadowlark, Northern Harrier,
White-tailed Kite, American Kestrel and many other native species. Views from
local trails will be degraded. Increased pollution, congestion, and degradation for one of Orange County's last rural places. |

Outdoor Education Center (Rifle Range Pasture Youth Camp),
Irvine Park
| Project Description - |
Conventional youth camp, designed primarily for Boy
Scouts, proposed for natural creek terrace, overlooking Irvine Regional
Park. Camp infrastructure includes church, mining operation, and archery
and bb gun range. Natural area will be impacted by sewer, electric, cable
TV, phone lines, excessive grading, heavy equipment traffic, and increased
visitor traffic upon completion. Design plans do not include any Native
American or ecological interpretive experiences. Irvine Regional Park already
exists as a perfect outdoor education center (nature center, hiking trails,
zoo featuring local wildlife, large group gathering places, fishing, restrooms,
etc.). Why take away more habitat to make an expensive new one next to a
popular and valuable old one? |
