Bolsa Report

May 11Land donation will buffer housing from retail in Bolsa.A deal between the City o f Bolsa and a developer will separate a retail development from existing housing on Main Street and Star Circle with green spaces

Linda Hamilton, through Walton Development LLC, plans to develop six lots on 12 acres into a retail center off Lampson immediately south o f Harbor Lane "The city and developer have worked out an agreement where the city will get a portion o f the remaining property on two parcels o f land which is large enough for about two houses,” said Stephanie Klee “To build two houses on the site would probably require the creation o f a private drive,” she said

“The land donation is significant because part o f the property was zoned for high density residential, which could have ended up being apartments,” said Mayor Kris Simpson “The city’s very excited about this,” Simpson said “Mr White has been very cooperative with the council.”

The land being donated will be beyond a retention pond to be built for the retail center The retail center is adjacent to another White development o f five-story office condominiums “ It should provide a very nice buffer between the retail developments and the residential areas.” White said

171 What is the purpose of this article?(A) To introduce a new mayor(B) To announce the community leader of

the year award(C) To describe the importance of the land

donation(D) To talk about cases of new construction

Subject: Moving

Hello! I was wondering if you might make a suggestion on where to look for housing.My wife and I are relocating to the area in the next month for my job I will be working at a data center located in the eastern end of White Waterfall but shouldn't have to travel there more than a couple times a week The other days, I will be working from home

I have an 8-year-old daughter and am concerned about her safety, schooling, and the availability of friends for her in the area It would be nice if she had a school that was fairly close by and had an adequate number of students for her to meet and socialize with

My boss lives in Cypress and looked at a couple of places there and in Whitaker I’m wondering how isolated Cypress would be for my daughter and where she would go to school, as there was no public school listed there Are there many children close by, and where would she attend school? Would White Waterfall be a better choice given what we are looking for, and if so, what areas would be good for a family with a child that age with a good school and safe neighborhood?Any help or suggestions would be great as I am totally unfamiliar with White Waterfall.Thank you,

Ryan Floyd

Tcfc ' ' f Ryan Floyd <rfloyd@mail2you.com>

Dear Mr Floyd,I have lived in Briston since 1990 I don’t have children, but I know that the schools here are excellent My nieces and nephews all go to District 4 schools

I graduated from Ellen Woods School District 21 twenty years ago I personally didn’t like the place as it wasn't diversified Coming from District 5 ,1 had a bit of culture shock

District 4 offers some of the best education It’s also close to anything you may need There are good restaurants on the eastern end along with all the shopping you need There are also lots of parks, and it is quick to drive to Chicago for more cultural activities

White Waterfall is a very nice place to live I don't know what offerings they have in White Waterfall for high-speed Internet, though I don’t even know who is their main phone or cable carrier Still, it is a gorgeous area, although I know little to nothing about the schools

Good luck on your move!Cathy Lowman
