Dear Mr. Emsiek:
This is regarding common area construction issues at Las Brisas at Colinas De
Following the recent Carlsbad city council meeting in which the construction
of Las Brisas and La Cresta at Colinas De Oro were discussed, members of the
De Oro Homeowners Association inspected the common area installation and foun
problems not included on the city punch list.
In attendance during the inspection were Jim Diluca (Board member), Bob Kuhns
Dan Wilson. They found defects in the following installation areas:
1. Walkway between 7959 and 7957 Calle Posada - The sidewalk is cracked at
corners, and shifting has caused separations of up to 3/4" between side\
slabs.
Homes By Polygon
2. Walkway between Calle Posada and the pool area - Between the third and j
sidewalk slabs to the east of the top of the stairs, there is a 1" sepal
between slabs.
3. Steps from the pool area to Calle Posada - Cracks extend completely ac~
four of the stairs, and there are roughly ten locations in which there I
chipping in the cement up to 3" wide.
4. Pool access sidewalk, south side - Here there are cracks all the way ac:
cement on both sides of the expansion joint due to a sinking slab.
5. Calle Madrid sidewalk, adjacent to pool - Stagnant water gathers here, :
the sidewalk, due to an inadequate drainage grade.
6. Pool access sidewalk, north side - Here there is a lifted slab, causing
tripping hazard, as well as cracks in the concrete.
7. South side of Calle Barcelona, between Calle San Felipe and Calie Posad
There is a broken water meter cover, and the irrigation control box loc
missing. This makes it impossible to secure exposed wires within.
8. All common area slopes - Irrigation risers/heads should be reinforced w
re-bar, per city specifications.
9. Landscaping at northeast corner of Calle Barcelona and Rancho Santa Fe
This area is not the Property of Colinas De Oro, but has been watered i
past with Colinas De Oro water, after the Board of Directors expressly
Homes By Polygon permission to do so. The Board is concerned that this
occur again, since the area has just been hydro-seeded.
10. Calle Vallarta cul-de-sac - The-wooden steps were never treated with an
of wood preservative.

11. Common area slopes - The slopes were not 90% covered with landscape mate]
upon turnover, and are still not adequately covered in some areas.
In light of the above items, the Colinas De Oro Homeowners Association requesi
