The La Costa Oaks neighborhood watch is underway.  We have spoken to a number of La Costa Oaks neighbors who are eager to get the watch up and running.  Here are a couple of things to know about the La Costa Oaks neighborhood watch:

1.  It is not a guard duty, it is an organized method of communication to protect ourselves and our neighbors.

2.  It will only be successful with volunteers.  The backbone of the watch will be the block captains.  Each block captain will be responsible for around 12-20 houses.  They will need to go door to door to get their group of homes involved in the watch.  They will also have to coordinate an in home meeting with the City of Carlsbad police and their group to discuss the neighborhood watch and how they can protect each other.

3.  We CAN NOT stress enough that communication is imperative.  We have had two burglaries in Stoneridge that were identical – the burglars were scoping out the neighborhood under the guise that they were selling the North County Times.  Had all the neighbors known the details, then maybe the second robbery could have been prevented.

4.  All of the La Costa Oaks home robberies have been through some form of open windows and doors.  We know it is hot.  We all try to avoid running our AC if possible, but please ensure that all doors and windows are closed and locked, and that your alarm (if you have one) is on when you leave!

If you would like to be a La Costa Oaks block captain, please email us at mmewborn@gmail.com.  The sooner we have a number of volunteers, the better.

Also, we have set up this communication tool a La Costa Oaks Ning group.  In Stoneridge, we had two wonderful neighbors who spent a ton of time going door to door, getting us all on the site to share information.  We hope that you will use this group to stay in contact with each other.  As we have more information – we will post it on the La Costa Oaks Ning group and on our blog.

In order to be approved on the La Costa Oaks Ning group, you will need to apply for membership.  Then please email me at amymewborn@gmail.com with your full name, address, and your builder.  Once I have verified that you are a La Costa Oaks homeowner, we will approve your membership and you can use this site to build neighbor relations and share information.

Thank you!

The opinions are wide and varying!  Some La Costa Oaks residents are excited about having the potential La Costa Town Square within walking distance.  They are hoping for nice restaurants and boutique shopping.

Some La Costa Oaks (and other Carlsbad residents) are concerned about what may be coming to our neighborhood.  Many residents oppose a big box tenant, and came to the most recent Carlsbad City Planning meeting with photos of other big box locations that are already unoccupied (Circuit City, Linens and Things, Albertsons on El Camino Real Encinitas, Vons at the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue).  Everyone wants to see La Costa Town Square represent our neighborhood – a development of beautiful homes, with a small town neighborhood feel!

At the Carlsbad City Planning meeting on August 11th, the city decided that they wanted another week to think about their recommendations before giving any approval or disapproval of La Costa Town Square.  One thing that they mentioned is that if they approve the project, they may require the land across Rancho Santa Fe to be single family residences, rather than multi-family.  They are no longer hearing testimony, but they are requesting from Aspen that the La Costa Town Square development be at least as nice as the Forum Shops.

Although we don’t yet know how this will play out, we are all eager to find out!  This will change the landscape of our community – either for the better or the worse!

Aspen Properties will be meeting with the Carlsbad City Council TONIGHT, August 11th at 6 pm in the City Council offices at 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive – one block east of Pio Pico Park.

This will be one of their final hurdles in the actual approval of the process. All La Costa residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and voice your opinions.

There has been a rumor that Wal Mart has taken the space formerly leased to Kohls. Aspen Properties states this is not true. There is one proposed tenant at this time – St. Tropez Bakery and Bistro. There is also a plan for two gas stations – something that many neighbors are against. Many La Costa Oaks neighbors have also expressed a desire to avoid any additional nail salons and dry cleaners – focusing instead on small restaurants, bistros, etc – maybe even with live entertainment. Aspen Properties has promised that this development is supposed to have the feel of the Carlsbad Forum Shops. They also have asked for our input.  If you have an opinion – either about the development itself or what goes into the development, PLEASE use this opportunity to make your voice heard.

Please consider attending the meeting! Please consider contacting Aspen Properties with your suggestions for the center! Please use your voice to make this the best scenario for all involved. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this further, please contact us. We are always happy to be a resource about La Costa and Carlsbad Real Estate Happenings!

Pat O’Day – the general contractor of the project ran the presentation. The project was started in 1972. This is the third revision. As part of the project, the developer is $9.5M toward traffic fees.

Some of the restaurants interested in coming to our neighborhood are:
St. Tropez Bakery and Bistro, The Chop House, The Daily Grill. Tommy Bahama has expressed interest in being one of the retail stores. They expect to have a drug store and two gas stations – one with a car wash.

As of right now, Vons has the lead position to be the grocery anchor. We have heard from a number of neighbors that they would really love to have a Bristol Farms for the daily fresh dinners.

Some of the neighborhood participants requested – The Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Ruth’s Chris, Souplantation,

Our estimate was that about 70% of the attendees were for the project and about 30% were against it.

Although it does look like the project will go through, we DO have a say in the tenants. The developer DOES want to hear what we think. They do want to be able to go to prospective tenants and show our feedback.

If you have an opinion, PLEASE contact the developer and let them know what you would or would not like to see in your neighborhood.

Please contact Gretchen at Aspen Properties to express your opinions and desires.  Her email is:  gearly@aspen-prop.com.

Also, please visit our blog and leave comments under the La Costa Oaks Neighbors page. We will forward any information to Gretchen.
