Proposed Plan Facts
(If you can call information relating to this project "facts.")
Wyvernwood Garden Apartments, located in the heart of the Boyle Heights communily, plans to reconstruct the property with new rental, for-sale and senior housing opportunities in addition to community-serving retail, office and civic space. We encourage you to contact us at (323) 261-4001.
[ZUMA DOGG SAYS: Make sure and ask us why all the protected oak trees have magically been cut down and ask us to provide the documentation showing which loopholes allowed us to cut these protected oak trees down already behind the communities back. Alivn Parra brought the issue of these protected oak trees and historic building status to the community's attention at a public debate concerning Wyvernwood, during last year's elections, and he even warned the public to "watch the oak trees." Parra told the crowd (and Zuma Dogg) that he was at a meeting with Huizar and Mr. Fink of 15 Group/Wyvernwood. Fink said his two obstacles were the oak trees and the historic buildings and that he was going to hire an environmental consultant to see if there was a way to cut down the trees.
Then Jose Huizar Chief of Staff confirmed, in person, to Zuma Dogg that if they could find a loophole to cut down the trees, they would. SO MY QUESTION IS, THEY ALREADY CUT DOWN THE TREES...DID ANYONE EVER SEE OR HEAR OF ANY PUBLIC MEETINGS REGARDING THIS ISSUE? Was Huizar allowed to have these trees chopped down? (He's the George Washington of CD 14! Choppin' down them trees.) After all, the State of California protects those oak trees, so if you were to cut them down you would have to have permission from the State? Where's the permission. I mean... I KNOW you don't think you could just cut down trees in violation of State law, and not think that anyone would notice. (So I am sure it must be all above board and A-O.K)
