Events in the news this week.
An agreement to gradually transfer ownership of a 5,360-acre preserve of oak groves and canyon lands to the county will be discussed Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors. The area, known as Limestone Canyon, is currently owned by the Irvine Co. and is east of Irvine and north of the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
The deal hinges on the completion of the eastern toll road and two Irvine Co. developments--Northwood Village in Irvine and East Orange in Orange. As certain phases of those projects are reached, the Irvine Co. will dedicate sections of the park to the county.
