SunCal representative Peter Johnson gave a presentation at Tuesday’s city council meeting concerning the status of the Marblehead residential SunCal project. He maintained the company has been fairly busy with maintenance operations as of late with bridge repair from last September now complete, along with outside fencing and repairs completed to a block wall that was damaged after a car had crashed through it. Moreover, homeless camps on the property have been removed by personnel and there are currently no homeless people living on the site, Johnson said. The partnership for Marblehead Coastal, which is known as SunCal Marblehead, LLC and has Lehman Brothers as the financial partner and SunCal as the development partner, filed for bankruptcy in November 2008 as a result of the collapse of Lehman. SunCal itself, however, is not in bankruptcy and continues to do business. SunCal is also continuing maintenance on the preserve surrounding the site. Johnson also maintained SunCal has received approval from a bankruptcy trustee to strengthen fencing between the northwest side of the development and Shorecliffs Middle School. Students at the school have been reportedly trying to escape through the fencing. “We’re looking for proposals on the fencing and that should be done by this week,” Johnson said. “There’s really a number of little items to report, but we are succeeding on them at the time.”

SunCal is just moving rocks around out there and calling it "progress". The whole project is floundering and getting nowhere. It wouldn't be surprising to me if it took until 2015 or later before the tweens will be able to text in that theater (while everyone else stays home watching on their 60 inchers), the homeless will be able to live in proper squalor in the outlet mall dumpsters, or George Clooney will be able to move in to his triple-lot wide cliffside mansion. Let the Shorecliff school "escapees" have the whole lot to play around in for all it matters. Meanwhile Avenida Pico is half the street it used to be in that area and we have to stare at meaningless Marblehead signs and be reminded about how giant companies made stupid decisions that affect all us little people.

I'm looking forward to the completion of Plaza San Clemente. The added revenue and jobs are surely needed. The parks, restaurants, shops and movie theater will be a great addition to San Clemente. Check out the website: http://www.plazasanclemente.com/info/projectInfo.cfm

It blows me away that everyone I have ever spoken to about the Outlet Mall commented on how stupid of a idea it was. Our Counsel is just Lame!

My daughter goes to Shorecliffs. I hope they keep her locked down and that she never "escapes".....
