With Laguna threatened by mega-development schemes, many residents are looking for development done right. Look no further than 496 N. Coast Hwy.– a newly renovated building featuring offices and a wine tasting room. Designed by architect Morris Skenderian and built by Oligino Construction (both Laguna businesses), this building represents a beautiful design realized with expert craftsmanship. Already a hit with local residents, others will no doubt enjoy its wine tasting room and street appeal. Let’s see more development like this!

Great remodel of a worn out property on PCH!
The architect was TODD SKENDERIAN, Morris’s nephew.
This project went through the “City process” zoning, building, DRB, fire dept.& various other groups! Taking 18-24 months to get approval!
Now my understanding is there is a petition to put an initiative on the ballot to add more restrictions on future projects!
Let’s continue to invigorate not stagnant properties in Laguna Beach.

As Chairman of the Design Review Board, which I was also a long time ago, I question about appointed board member using this forum to sway public opinion.
On my previous reply, I should have mentioned APPOINTED board members using this forum to sway public opinion while knowing they may some day vote on the very topics should be avoided.
