I don't get why the hangars are lumped in with "negative" things. They are an interesting piece of Orange County history. They are designated as historical landmarks. I am amazed when I look at them. They are among the largest freestanding wooden structures in the world. They used 2 million feet of wood to make these. There are only 5 other hangars remaining.
Bowerman landfill is a also an interesting piece of Orange County history. I too am amazed when I look at it. It has to be among the largest dumpsite in Calfornia and can accept 11 tons of trash per day. It must be among the last 5 dumpsites in Orange County remaining.
Too bad people view it as a negative. Just sayin. ;D
While this may all be true they are not aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps if they were maintained better. One is just sitting there with the roof collapsed and it has been red tagged. Not sure what the delay is in tearing that one down. The other one may be incorporated int Tustin legacy plans until the roof caves in on that one and kills some one.

My best understanding is the contaminated area is directly related to aircraft maintenance area to the south and southwest. After maintenance the aircrafts took off to the Baker Ranch direction. No housing will be built over these zones. City of Irvine still own those parcels.
The current housings are being built over area where equestrians, former administrative office buildings, cafeteria and human resource structures once stood.
The current housing area sits on higher elevation where the PLUME does not migrate uphill to. The PLUME follows gravity to lower elevations toward Old Town Irvine, IVC, Arbor Shopping Center and WoodBridge.
The former base was divided into 3 zones: habitat, military training and industrial. Habitat was to the north and northwest. training was to the northeast and east toward Alton Parkway and industrial maintenance and storage near the Spectrum and train track.
There were 3 entrances. Visitors and families came in through the habitat and admin entrance on Trabuco. Training and affiliates checked in at the Irvine Blvd entrance near the jail. Delivery and waste management came through the Sand Canyon entrance by Old Town Irvine.

Curious if anyone has any opinions on what they expect traffic/flow to be like on Bosque, especially after next couple of communities are built.
Does anyone know if there will be a road bisecting Upperbee Canyon?

This was my favorite use of the hangar:http://www.photobubblecompany.com/demowp/bmw-magazine/
I remember that commercial, it was pretty awesome.

Hard to tell from the models and too lazy to check the site plan for each tract but which of these homes are the lowest priced but with a real driveway? And which start on a real street and not a motorcourt?

The Crane is among the most desired Feng Shui animal. It is depicted in countless Chinese paintings, poetry, and literature.
The painting of a Crane against a background of the sun signifies the desire to attain social recognition.
Ancient Chinese interpreted the white plumage of the Crane as a sign of purity; its red cap representing the element of fire or vitality which is also a sign of fame and recognition.
The Chinese see this majestic bird as the bird of immortality. He symbolizes happiness and smooth flight; a smooth path through life.
As well as inside the home an image of the Crane is auspicious when displayed in the garden, inviting longevity and good health luck for the family.
Crane facing east, which represents the location of health and well-being, is representative of peace, good health and long life for the family, especially older members of the household and the sons of the family.
Long legs anchoring the south homesites the Crane will bring opportunities. Wings in the West it signifies good luck for the children of the home and beak pointing in the Northwest the Crane will bring positive benefits to the male of the family.
Both PP and BP together formed the head and body of the crane. Meticulously planned streets and open spaces form a pattern that coincide the shape of the crane and also reflect 5 positive Chinese characters
The long legs extend and connect to future planning areas bringing both existing northern neighborhoods and future southern developments into harmony.
