Papagayo Condominium located between Agua Hedionda Lagoon on the south, Chinquapin Avenue on the north, Interstate Highway 5 on the east and the Santa Fe Rail- road on the west. Status: Plans complete and in Building Department. Cost: $9,000,000 ' Construction Methods; Concrete block and wood frame, Phases: Will be built in eight phases with timing depending on sales, (2) Environmental Setting Without the Project. * The site as it exists is cut off from "adjacent areas on the north, east and wait by roads :ind a railroad. Agua Hedionda Lagoon, the southerly boundary of the site, will be reshaped to be a more desirable setting for both man and sea life, ' (3) Identify Environmental Impacts. We believe that any environmental impact on the site will be positive. The site as it exists is about half irrigated landscaping and half_j>ejii|.-gr,laV After development, the site will be irrigated and landscaped throughtout; the length of the shoreline will be increased to the benefit of all; all the run off water will be controlled and all utilities will be underground.
