Dear Mayor and Members of the Council:
As residents of La Costa, we request that you accept and support the
recommendation of the Rancho Santa Fe Road Committee and the City Engineer
to relocate Rancho Santa Fe Road eastward per the proposed Hunsaker #2
Alignment.
Please consider the following issues in support of their recommendation:
The Hunsaker #2 solution will benefit the quality of life within
the community in the following ways;
Physically combine our community by creating a perimeter
circulation rather than dividing the present and future
residential areas.
Allow for additional preferred homesites with ocean view,
benefiting the developer who is financing the improvement of
the roadway as well as future residents.
Create a scenic route for motorists passing through our community
rather than a "tunnel" of obtrusive "sound" walls which would
depict a result of poor planning and lack of aesthetic concern.
Result in the best environmental impact solution; the end result
being most in keeping with the natural elements rather than a
"Forced, Man-Made'' solution.
The "Noise Mitigation" proposal will not solve the problem for impacted
two story dwellings. our residence is not located adjacent to Rancho
Santa Fe Road, in fact we are over 200 feet away, and existing noise
levels from our upstairs level are severe. Please also consider that we
have a 6 foot high concrete block and stucco wall surrounding our
back yard similar to the proposed sound wall solution. Our existing
wall provides no appreciable sound attenuation benefit.
The major developer, La Costa Ranch Company, has demonstrated extreme
cooperation throughout this process in an effort to work with the city
and citizens toward a common goal of enhancing the quality of life in
our community. Their request for certain allowances by the city in
order to expedite the Hunsaker #2 alignment is more than reasonable.
Considering La Costa Ranch Company's professionalism and support
for community concerns shown to date, it also seems reasonable to
I

assume that they could resolve by land trade or other means a mutually
satisfactory agreement with Mag Properties.
We commend you as a group for your cooperation and willingness to
consider all factors prior to finalizing a decision on this sensitive
issue which has a major impact on growth management and quality
planning standards of our existing and future community.
