A little bit more history of ownership

"The Parkside Trails property is the site of a former quarry. Quarrying operations were undertaken by the McDonald-Dorsa family who sold the property to Kaiser Permanente Cement, which was founded by Henry J. Kaiser. Quarrying activities ceased in the 1970s. In 1987 the cement plant and surrounding lands were bought by Hanson, a British holding company. The cement plant was renamed Hanson Permanente Cement and non-essential land holdings were sold by the new owner. The closed quarry had several interim owners all of whom were interested in developing luxury homes on the 131 acres. The property was purchased in 1999 to develop a private school, Canyon Heights Academy. This same owner now proposes to develop 18 single-family homes on 9 acres of the site that is accessible from Stevens Canyon Road. The remainder of the site, approximately 122 acres, is located across Stevens Creek."
