TO 2*H2 Sevilla Way Rancho La Costa Planning Commission JAN 1 \ 1974 City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Ave. /MTV nc P/VRI ^RADCarlst»d, California 92008 OTYOF CARLSBAD Dear Sirs: In reference to the proposed "Zoning Change" of Lot #185 La Costa South, Unit #1. I would like to voice my objections. Many people, including myself, have purchased property and have built homes to live in La Costa because it was a new and planned Community. Now we find, while still in its' undeveloped stage with every chance to mature in the right direction, the first atempt of "Rape" is being made on its' Zoning. How the Commission acts on this attempt will set a pattern to encourage or halt all other developers in this area. We have located in La Costa after living and experiencing the same style of "Zoning attempts" in Florida as witness the complete destruction of the natural beauty of the East Coast of Florida, where mile after mile of High-risers now exist.. We have experienced , over crowded roads , crowded schools , Hospitals, Parks plus Inadequate Police protection, Ambulance and Fire Equipment to handle any of these High Rise Units . A colorful presentation was always made but never did the finished product, resemble the Artists Rendition. I sincerely feel an obligation to contact all of my representing Officials, the local Newspapers, Neighbors, Organizations and my Attorney to endeavor to halt this change in the Zoning. With all of the available land In La Costa yet un-used, there appears to be absolutely no need for the change in the existing Zoning rules that were in effect when I and my neighbors purchased our property. The owners of Lot #185 La Costa South, were well aware of the Zoning Restrictions when they purchased their property and this definately is not a hardship case. The re-zoning of this property would devalue all the property in the area and force a hardship on the present owners. Thank you for your attention and consideration. Sincerely, .P.S. we have lived in La Costa for over Ijand £ jprs« and have been receiving our mail at our present address from the City, County and State for all this time. Why was this notice sent to our "Old Address".. RECEIVED Planning Department JAN 1 8 *9'* 16 January 1974 Carlsbad, California 92008 CITY OF CARLSBAD Dear Sir: Planning Department It has been brought to my attention that the LaCosta Land Company is requesting approval of a Specific Plan (SP-151) which permits an increase in the building height limit from 35 feet to 88 feet. I wish to firmly object to this plan for two reasons: 1. The construction of a building of this magnitude could cause a view blockage of many surrounding lots. Many of these lots were purchased as "view" lots and any change in this status could mean a financial depreciation of considerable magnitude. These losses would not be for the general welfare of the area but strictly to allow the owners of the property in SP-151 to realize a greater profit on their investment. I fail to see the justice of this. 2. The notice I read announcing this request indicates that the LaCosta Land Company is playing a significant role in this endeavor. I wonder if this is the same LaCosta Land Company which sold all of the lots they are now threatening? If things are as they appear on the surface, then the ethics of the motives of the LaCosta Land Company are questionable. They certainly have considerable acreage left to sell in the LaCosta Community and one would certainly have to pause before recommending any investment here when it could be jeopardized by the very group that is selling it. My property overlooks the site in question and as such I am vitally interested. Business, out of state, prevents me from attending the public hearing but I would like to be on record as being strongly opposed to approval. Respectfully yours, Andrew J.

While I and my neighbors were not in accord with your decision we bow to your decision and trust that as Public Servants you have weighed all the presented facts and with all good conscience voted with the Interest best served to all concerned. While I personnally, will have to live with your decision, It is not the decision I find fault with but the treatment accorded me and others while attending the hearing.. It was my personal feeling that I approached the situation as a gentlemen but I am not used to being approached in the manner that Mr. Dominquez. , found necessary. I presume that Mr. Dominquez, considers himself in a very high esteem, I consider his postilon to be of dignity and appreciate the same accorded to any man who approaches the Planning Commission. As a Citizen of this Country and of the State of California and a resident of Carlsbad, I was exerting my right and so were my fellow men, to express our opinion, if Mr. Dominquez, did not agree with me or anyone else, so be it but retain our dignity as a right along with our right to be heard. There Is a way to approach one and a way to degrade an opinion and Mr. Dominquez, chose the later. It is my sincere feeling that if I am ever called upon to present an opinion again before the Carlsbad Planning Commission, that I may leave with a feeling of satisfaction that my expression was at least given an equal consideration.
