Beyond the Fence - Site Development Update
You may have noticed the recent clearing at the 1913 property. We want to share a brief update and some context around the work that took place. Many of the trees on the property were damaged during a storm that happened last Spring. Under the guidance of a certified arborist, the damaged or unhealthy trees were identified, tagged and ultimately removed.
On December 16, 2025, the City’s Environmental Inspector visited the site and confirmed that the tree work completed met the requirements and allowances outlined in the City’s Land Development Code. The inspector did request one additional tree permit, and that paperwork has since been submitted to the City.
This week, our site development team continues making progress in the planning process. The site plan will include the expertise of a landscape architect, with a focus on adding native plants and trees to enhance the look and feel of both the GSA campus and the surrounding neighborhood.
At the upcoming Parent Salon on February 11th, GSA families will have the opportunity to see the site plan that will be presented to the City as a part of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. We will then share the site plans with the neighbors on February 23.
The GSA community is welcome and encouraged to attend that meeting as well!
