 The
Canyon Crest project proponent is the
Shopoff Group and the landowner is MRF. William Shopoff is involved
in both. MRF just reorganized in February 2008 after filing a
Chapter 11 under U.S. bankruptcy laws. The Canyon Crest project includes 165 executive style houses on 367 acres of natural lands northeast of Olinda Village. One single access (in and out) road will serve 161 houses along Carbon Canyon Road, while a smaller cluster of four houses will be served by another road near Sleepy Hollow. Olinda Drive will be used in case of emergency. Download our flyer on the Canyon Crest Project. To accomplish this new subdivision for multi-millionaires the developer will need to: • Build an access road too steep to comply with public road standards so it will be a gated community • Rearrange (hopefully properly compact) 10 million cubic yards of dirt • leaving 44% manufactured slopes • remediate 4 KNOWN landslides • Remove 216 acres of grasslands and woodlands (out of a 367 acre project site) • using mostly one gallon trees in place of this complex ecosystem • using 5 times the water an average Brea household uses to keep this new vegetation alive • Trigger the need for a new water reservoir at a TAXPAYER cost of well over $3 million • Add 6% more traffic to Carbon Canyon Road emptying onto Brea streets • Provide one super charged fire engine and staff it by rearranging existing personnel from other Brea fire stations CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
