Dear Council Members: My husband and I are three-year residents of Foxglove View in Spinnaker Hill. At the time we purchased our home, we were aware of the future development of the Thompson property by Standard Pacific, and felt the quality of the project would enhance the value of our property. We would never have envisioned that development would be granted access to Rose Drive, dumping an estimated additional 700 ADT on Daisy Avenue. In neighborhood meetings with Standard Pacific, their representatives assured us that they maintained a "Good Neighbor" development policy. This traffic flow proposal would certainly suggest otherwise. Why should the City Council allow a new project to degrade the quality of life enjoyed by an exisiting residential community? Poinsettia Lane would seem the logical ingress/egress access for the Poinsettia project, as it is an existing main thoroughfare designed for high volume. A three-way signal allowing eastbound vehicles to make a U-turn would also give drivers exiting Vista Pacifica an alternative to crossing Poinsettia at high-volume, high-speed times of day. I hope consideraton will be given to alternatives that apparently have been proposed but perhaps not studied by the Council or the Planning Commission. The residents of Spinnaker Hill and Vista Pacifica will surely voice their opinions on these important decisions at the ballot box, even if they are unable to attend Council meetings. Sincerely, Deane Vaughn 1006 Foxglove View Carlsbad 92009
