RE: License Agreement proposed for lot on Viewpoint Circle
Apparently the new owners of the lot on the North East corner of Viewpoint Circle are seeking a licensing agreement
with the City of San Juan Capistrano to support their desire to build a "trail" for access to their proposed barn at the top
of their property. Since access exists already to their proposed barn site by other means utilized by other owners of
barns, it seems unreasonable for the City of San Juan Capistrano to completely bypass the Stone Ridge Home Owners
Association regulations in favor of a one-time accommodation for a specific party.
HOA's exist so neighbors can resolve any issues in theír respective neighborhoods before cities get involved. This seems
like an attempt to bypass Stoneridge HOA regulations in favor of a licensing agreement between the City and the
property owner without HOA opinion.
This appears to be a dangerous precedent that allows undue influence upon city officials by lobbyists instead of
following rules that have been established for years for the protection of all the residents of San Juan Capistrano and
their communities.
Therefore, I implore city officials to follow rules which have served us well for years and let the process be HOA
discussion and review first with recommendations to the City of San Juan Capistrano before any binding decisions are
made.
Thank you,
PaulJ. Blasdel

Subject: Driveway access for equestrian properties in Stoneridge estates
Regarding the license agreement proposed for Viewpoint Circle:
There are 6 lots on the downward side of Hillside Terrace facing Marbella golf course that have "shallow driveways"
To access their horses. No more that 15-20' feet long and they do not cause any disturbance to neighbors as it is just
part of their normal driveway. They still use the trail for access to get to theír horses. There are at least 25-26
Properties who if given the opportunity would apply for "License agreements" to put vehicle paths from their Lower
homesites to more easily have access to the Ridgeline where the¡r horses are. This License Agreement is providing
special permission to one family while many others are abiding by the original grading and tract plan to access their
horse property.

This affects many as the noise pollution alone would hurt property values.
