So those are Dawn Redwoods? Wow, was just reading about them and they are cool–living fossils from dinosaur era, originally from western China, not known in U.S. until 1940s when discovered in Japan, look like evergreens but have deciduous leaves, and can grow into huge perfectly conical (“Christmas tree”) shape trees. There’s some nice specimens at the Botanical Gardens too.

I dont post…I just read now.

anyhoo…Probably fronting west ponce….and since the old plan nixed the development of that area whoever owns it is selling it to someone else to develop.

as its already zoned for the density/use and I’m sure this new development corp is just trying to line up business to buy in so they can purchase the property (as a contengency of purchace). and if they do…they can develop “as of right” and there is not much residences can do about. Its zoned for the use and meets the land use plan.

looks like single use though…wish it was mixed use 3 or so stories…

newbie…out
