Someone is suggesting she is linked to Guerin?<BR/><BR/>I wasn't going to vote for her, anyway. Or Betsy Aceti. She has too much of a "conflict of interest" with her husband, Steve Asceti's income based on his lobbying for enough sand to protect all the property owners along the bluffs, without consideration of the surfing conditions or the natural habitats.

The city staff didn't present a report on the resolution that they stuck in a hugh report. The resolution was the "official" Planning Commission making of the required findings including a statement of overriding considerations, certifying the final environmental impact report, and adopting the mitigation monitoring and reporting program, for the Hall property. <BR/>This is a very lengthy legal document of findings THAT WASN'T DISCUSSED BY THE STAFF. <BR/>The Planning Commission held a public meeting without hearing about the overridding considerations to approve an EIR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885680.post-54838268612737908752008-09-04T08:32:00.000-07:002008-09-04T08:32:00.000-07:00From what I heard, the main problem that the uniformed players (from Carlsbad?) have with the existing fields is "divots".

Funny how ordinary citizens become big shots once they ascend the podium, and room was crawling with plenty of primevil examples. I knew we were headed for a long ride. One of the Planning Commissioners was barely able to complete a sentence or convey a thought. Maybe he had a lot on his mind. Maybe he has no mind. That alone puts him in good company with the pro-sports- complex groupies.<BR/><BR/>First, we get the Hard Sell from the city staff. A lot of 'em looked like rats caught in the corner with cheese in their paws and grease stains on their ill fitting dress shirts. I wish they'd speak English, fer cryin' out loud. I didn't know a park needed:<BR/>-"splash spray components"<BR/>-"garden experience walls"<BR/>-"serpentine walkways"<BR/>-"shade gazebo components"<BR/>-"a little water wall structure to help mitigate sounds"<BR/><BR/>Hey, where I come from, a park is a big grassy lot with some trees. Maybe some birds or some squirrels, y'know, some nature stuff. You have a picnic and run around. Eat some pasta, drink some wine, hang out..the usual. Y'know, keep it simple. But, no.....<BR/><BR/>Then we got to hear from the Great Unwashed, the Salt of the Earth, the PEOPLE, the concerned parents and even three cute girls dressed in their uniforms. They were from Carlsbad, but that doesn't matter-they were SO CUTE. <BR/><BR/>The first speaker called sports fields "Training Grounds". Now there's a good militaristic metaphor, you betcha. We'd better get our kids ready for a life of consumerism, conformity and conflict. This wise guy tells us that all our concerns about a sports complex are "myths". The lighting at night?...no problem! The traffic...no problem! The noise?...no problem! <BR/><BR/>Six more speakers and I realized something...there's a lot of MONEY to be made here. A lot of frogskins...a lot of "opportunity", as they say in the Old Country. There's a phony concern here that has nothing to do with kids and everything to do with a lifestyle the adults crave and that, my friends, is POWER and CONTROL. And hey, what's with the way everyone was dressed? Sloppy faded t-shirts, flip flops, shorts...what are ya... A buncha slobs? Oh yeah, I forget, you're just NORMAL people who love kids, sports and the American Way.<BR/><BR/>I got the message, oh yass, I got the message. I turned off my computer,and decided to walk down my favorite alley, get a moon tan, and think. Sometimes this town is a sleepy li'l beach grotto. Sometimes the natives get restless, and boys will be boys, but all in all, it's a quiet town, a friendly place to hang your fedora. But lemme tell ya brother, if the sports Nazis get their way with the park, it'll be all over..it'll be a...

Shame on them for for forcing their staff to execute legal contortions to create this plan and putting the poor Planning Commissioners in the position of defending this monstrosity of a regional sports facility.<BR/><BR/>If ever there were a reason to throw the bums out in Encinitas then this design and the incredible falsehoods put forth by the staff with pretzel logic should be Exhibit 1 at their trial.<BR/><BR/>Dalager was once removed from the Parks and Recreation Commission for chicanery like this, again over property owned by the flower-growing Hall Family.<BR/><BR/>This is some kind of demented dream that Dalager is forcing on this poor Cardiff neighborhood that should never break ground in that community.<BR/><BR/>Watch the next Planning Commission meeting Tuesday, September 9th to see the five Planning Commissioners attempt the impossible, defending one man's twisted desire to triumph over all that is right about our city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885680.post-84676833795266772282008-09-04T00:27:00.000-07:002008-09-04T00:27:00.000-07:00Beware.
