1128 Kraemer – Schaener Ranch

We moved to Placentia almost two years ago.  1128 Kraemer, Placenta, CA is a property within the city that I have always wondered about.  Especially recently as my weekend runs often take me past it.  I have had a better view of the property.  I have also looked it up on google maps recently.  Image below.

Schaner Garden FarmI assure you this is not how the rest of the beautiful city of Placentia looks.  So then, whats the deal with this place?  So to Google I went and searched on the address.  Which lead me to a place called Schaner Farm. Or spelled a little differently can be Schaener Ranch.  Turns out the city is considering building town homes on this location.

The Future

The 112-unit structure, labeled Schaener Ranch…would span 7.98 acres and would include 50 townhome units, 50 duplex units and commercial space with 12 more units positioned above that.  There is a Facebook page on it for anyone interested and an article from the OC Register.  And finally you can click here to view an FAQ on the project.

The development is being proposed by homebuilder HQT Homes, which has constructed similar projects in Lakewood and Bellflower.  The units would range from $200k to $500k.

“(We) hope to have city approval by March or April. We will start grading beginning in July and would start building by the end of the year,” Huennekens said. Homes would be ready by 2014, he added.

The Past

Here is a picture I took on one of my runs.  Its an Emu I think.  It looks like the property used to be an organic farm.  As early as 2012.  You can read more about Schaner Garden Farm at Farmer Dave‘s website.

 

The word “Array” on my wordpress site

I have a little podcast that is located at historyonair.com.  For the last three years, if I include <?php wp_footer(); ?> in the footer file, I get the word Array appearing either at the bottom of the website or after the widgets on the right hand side of the index page.  I had fixed this by removing:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

from the footer.php file.  This make most of the plugins you have stop working.  Don’t do this.  Instead look for a plugin called Simplescripts Footer.  Deactivate this plugin and see what happens.  For me it fixed the issue.  If you installed your wordpress instance using simplescripts from bluehost you probably have this issue.  I hope this helps some of you out there in the ether!
