Re: AB #5731 -Sup#l -Tiburon/Carlsbad Homeowners' Association
Gentlemen and Madam:
I am unable to attend the City Council meeting scheduled for March 20, 1979 but
would like to address the referenced item on your agenda.
On Saturday, March 17, 1979 my husband and I were taking a walk around the Tiburon
development when we noticed someone on a motorcycle riding in the fields to the
east of our .home. Our attention was attracted whfi we realized the rider was
shouting obsrenities at us. He also threatened to have 11 500 bikers here tomorrow
... the trouble is just beginning ... who do you think you are ... living in cheap
condominiums ... 11
• My husband and I strolled back towards Avenida de Anita where
we had noticed a police jeep parked. We walked across the fields to talk to the
police officer and noticed the biker also heading in our direction. We all
reached the officer at approximately the same time. We related what had happened
and the young man again began to repeat his threats, this time minus the obscen-
ities. The biker was very hostile and disrespectful of the officer who finally
chased him away. He apparently recognized him and said he has given the police
trouble in the past. As my husband and I walked across the fields back towards
our home we noticed the biker heading our way. I became quite frightened because
the police officer pad left the area. Fortunately, nothing happened but it was
a frightening experience.
If this biker is indicative of the kind of people \~ho pursue this 11 sport 11
, then
the situation is worse than I had anticipated. I know you will agree that resi-
dents and taxpayers have the right to the quiet enjoyment of their homes and also
the right to protection from such individuals in their neighborhood.
I urge you to take whatever action is necessary to eliminate such situations from
occurring in the future. If it means prohibiting the 11 sport 11 within the boun-
daries of the City, so be it.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yours very ;rulYt,1,1 • // 'v y~K-~
