It is true that the existing remaining trees are getting very old. Old trees do not do well in saturated soils and with high winds such as experienced in rain storms. In fact, there is a chance that all of the remaining trees along HW101 will fall over some day. Because I have a certificate from passing an arborists exam, I now know that these tree pose a danger for the public and must be removed ASAP. The longer the trees are standing the greater liability for the City. If fact, in the future the City should only plant tree that grow to 6 feet tall, thereby lowering the likelihood of a deadly fall and lessening the Liability for the City. Thank you for consulting with me and appreciate your business. I will come back in ten years to see how your seedlings are doing and determine if some or all should be cut down to better protect the City. Happy New Year!
An Edict from the City Attorney: Good lord-we can't have the City responsible. Cut them all down down, I mean right now! No tress in this city, now or in the future. Only cactus. That is an order.
Kudos Mr. Killoaks for your safety-first message and invaluable expertise.
I would like to add a few of my own ideas to help make Encinitas a death free zone.
* Lower the speed limit to 5 mph. * Lower train speed to 5 mph. * Have trains and cars blow horns continuously. * Create a Pedestrian Helmet law. * Lower the bluffs to 5 feet. * Raise the the drinking age to 49. * Make 3ft of nerf foam on every motor vehicle mandatory. * Make people over 50 move out of town.
You'll be happy to know, I've donated 4,000 Bonzai trees for your new 101 Street Scape Canopetite!
Is it true that a new business is starting in Leucadia? I heard, so it must be true, that starting Saturday you can take gondola rides down hwy 101 like in Venice Italy. What a tourist attraction this will be. If the city hurries they can tax anyone that takes a short ride guaranteeing that those short term riders won't cause a problem.
The $30 million for the library would have been better spent on a real drainage system for Leucadia. But they keep telling us that they don't have the money. Bonds sold by the city would have paid for a drainage system that would allow businesses along the 101 to grow and prosper, creating a greater tax base for the city to repay the bonds!!
But Leucadia does not have advocate on the council!! Never has and never will, just a bunch of "keep it ugly and rundown" like Stocks and Bond. Good riddance to those 2 cretins in Nov.
No need for a redevelopment agency if Leucadia flows away in the flood. South Lake Tahoe is suffering from the redevelopment snake. What was started when Kerry Miller was city manager is winding its way to the other end of the town. The account of stop the blight label is at www.fighttheblight.com.
That fighttheblight.com is an excellent resource. I noticed a few familiar names, like Ernie Glover, who came talk to Encinitas for a Redevelopment "workshop" in 2004. You could almost hear the salivating in the audience by certain people who were looking to profit from this plan. Only one council member asked if there was some sort of oversight by the State of California when a city applied for RDA status.
Answer: none.
Only one council member addressed the topic of eminent domaine. When it was suggested that ED could be taken out of the RDA documents, the question was asked whether it could be re-instated again.
Answer: yes.
I personally saw the map in the city manager assistant's office. Over 200 parcels in Leucadia were selected to be seized by the city and sold off to the highest bidder. And once a RDA is established, the area can be EXPANDED into other neighborhoods that fall outside the designated "blighted" area. The city of Vista is doing that right now, as we speak.
Remember: only one definition of blight is all that is needed to impliment this rotten idea:
"Lots that are of different size and shape that are adjacent to each other".
Our whole town fits that definiton!
We have to stay on top of this. Some council members still support it. They don't give a damn about our community.
I fully agree with your suggestions. Pure text book and solid. You’re a great Arborist. I will see you at Fridays Arborist BBQ.... We are using a specialty blend of extra dry Oak and Mesquite to get the real flavors from the meat.
Ahhhh I love all the things you can do with downed wood.
See you there and let’s compare the chainsaws we got from Santa.
That ED ordinance was just a PR moment for Stocks. The City can still determine that widening a road is for public benefit and seize the land through the courts.
Scene: Mildewed restroom at the Leucadian. Stocked: Glennboy, this here rain been gitten on my nerves. Nowheres to go but ain't it wet. Sabined: Jerryboy, you done said it, ain't nothin but wet. Stocked: Seems I recall when we was in a drought there weren't no problem sloggin through to the bar. Sabined: Yessum, Jerryboy, them times done passed long ago. Stocked: It's all this jibber jabber bout global warmin -- done heated up the rain gods somethin fierce. We gots to do an edict or somethin to stop all this annoying babble. Ain't gud to have to slog through a swamp to gets to the bar. Sabined: Jerryboy, you always thinkin. I'll jess notice a special meetin and we can womp waller a special closed section barring all talk about that thar global warning. Stocked: Ain't warning knucklenose, its warmin!!! Camera rolls back, fade to street scene, houses float down the 101 river. Fadeout...
We better cut down the remaining 20 trees. They might fall down some day.
