were high and joy

abounded in La Jolla

on Dec. 9, following

the unveiling of the

making, the Plaza project

involved removing some

landscaping, replacing and

expanding the sidewalk to

improve pedestrian flow,

bike racks to the area

overlooking Children’s Pool

at 850 Coast Blvd.

The project has been run

under the auspices of La

Jolla Parks & Beaches

(LJP&B), and funded as a

private-public partnership.

The most recent estimate

put the project pricetag at

just under $700,000.

At the afternoon

celebration at the site, LJP&B

chair Ann Dynes told those

gathered: “This has been a

precious space in La Jolla

27TH ANNUAL RED NOSE RUN

After five hours of public speakers and councildeliberation, a decision on a contested re-developmentproject and whether to certify its environmental impactreport has been tabled to a future meeting.

More than 40 speakers at the Dec. 5 Solana Beach CityCouncil meeting shared their opinions on the proposedSolana Highlands project, which would demolish an existing196-unit apartment complex to construct a new residentialcommunity with 260 residential units — including 32 senioraffordable units — a clubhouse, 525 onsite parking spaces,233 garages, landscaping, recreational amenities and anopen space area on 13.41 acres of land.

The project has been contested since 2015, when 15neighbors submitted view claims against it. The city's ViewAssessment Commission denied the project in 2015 due tothe potential impairment of private views.

Representatives for H.G. Fenton, the project's developer,said in the last three years they have worked to modifybuildings to negotiate with the appellants, includinglowering building heights, removing buildings to open view

In October, the board assigned newstudents from the community of Sendero toSolana Ranch; the communities of Terrazza,Vista Del Mar and Carmel to Carmel Creekand Solana Pacific; and students from VistaSanta Fe to Solana Santa Fe in Rancho SantaFe.

Surfers saw the collapse about 8:45a.m. and notified authorities, said JonEdelbrock, Del Mar’s director ofcommunity services. No one washurt.

He said the site is in a somewhat“precarious” area.

“There are definitely some fissures(in the cliffs) up there, and all thisrecent rainfall has really saturatedthose bluffs,” Edelbrock said,referring to a storm that began Dec. 6and soaked much of San DiegoCounty.

Water gets into the fissures, he said,and creates instability.

ENCINITAS HOLIDAY PARADE

When Candice Kumai spokerecently at The Grauer School inEncinitas, the event marked ahomecoming for the author, TVpersonality, entrepreneur and chef.

Kumai spoke about her sixth andlatest book, "Kintsugi Wellness,"which was published by HarperWave in April. Among the audiencewas Kumai's mother and mentor,Miho Gwiazdowski, who hastaught Japanese language andculture at The Grauer School forthe past 19 years.

"She is my life's greatestinspiration, in a landslide," saidKumai, introducing her mother.

Kumai grew up in Carlsbad withher Japanese-American mother,Polish-American father and hersister, Jenni, who owns and runs abicycle shop in London. AlthoughKumai now lives in Brooklyn, NewYork, she visits her hometownwhen she can, and along withspending time with her family,indulges her lifelong passion forsurfing.

Kumai said her new book draws

upon her Japanese heritage - itssubtitle is "The Japanese Art ofNourishing Mind, Body and Spirit"- and is named for a specific artform, kintsugi, which entailstaking broken pottery or fabric andmending it using gold powder todecorate the cracks or tears. Theend result, she said, is an objectthat is considered more beautifulthan the original.

The Japanese art form is intendedto be a metaphor for our own lives,she said, and our ability to piece

together broken parts, whetherthey are physical or emotional.

"Golden repair celebrates ourimperfections. It teaches us that weare more beautiful for our flaws,our battle scars, our lessonslearned," Kumai wrote in theintroduction to her book, whichhas four sections: Strengthen,Nourish, Lifestyle and Heart.

Throughout the book, Kumai hassprinkled Japanese concepts, suchas wabi sabi, which means finding

Forty-eight blue dots, 26 yellows.That tally characterized opposition

among a vigorously vocal majority ofabout 100 Cardiff-by-the-Searesidents attending a meeting held byEncinitas officials Tuesday, Dec. 4.

The session focused on proposedalternative traffic revisions to two ofthe community’s primary streets.

Though each is only about ahalf-mile in length, Chesterfield andLiverpool drives are fairly busy,congested routes connecting thesouthern Encinitas community’scommercial district east of Highway101 with densely populatedneighborhoods west of Interstate 5.

Those attending the meetingorganized by the city’s TrafficEngineering Division at EncinitasCity Hall had the choice of sticking ablue paper dot on their preferredalternative among eight possibilities— including one leaving the streetsuntouched.

A yellow dot signified theparticipants’ second favorite option.

The “no” alternativeoverwhelmingly received the moststickers.

“I don’t see that any of these thingsare going to help,” said resident DaveFletcher of the proposed changes.“There’s a lot of things in Cardiff thatare not up to code, so I really don’thave an answer. So, what do you do?Sometimes the best thing to do isnothing.”

The next most popular optionconsisted of restructuring the tworoad segments to create two10-foot-wide drive lanes in eachdirection, while inserting a parkinglane and pedestrian strip on thenorthern side of the street, plus5-foot-wide landscaped areas on eachside.

That design would limit parking tojust one side of the street, but providefor separated pedestrian access. Only13 blues and 5 yellows supported thatoption.

The most radical of the alternativeswould convert Liverpool to aone-way street eastbound andChesterfield to one-way westbound,emptying onto the coastal highway.That would retain parking on bothsides of the streets. Seven blue dotsindicated support for that idea.

The Rancho Santa Fe Association voted 7-0 to deny theCovenant modification for the Villas at Rancho Santa Fe,a proposal to build a 35-home development off Del DiosHighway near El Camino Del Norte, an increase in densityover the seven legally buildable lots on the 39-acreproperty.

At the Dec. 6 meeting, the directors had no discussionon the project, simply stating the Covenant DesignReview Committee’s September recommendation to denythe Villas would stand. The RSF Association voted against a proposal that would increase density in Rancho

The Rancho Santa FeAssociation is taking stepstoward strengthening itsbylaws regardinghigh-density developmentsin the Covenant, following arequest made by a petitioneffort.

In October local residentssubmitted a petition with275 signatures asking thatany changes to zoning,General Plan amendments,annexation/de-annexationor cluster housing effortswithin the Covenantboundaries must receive theapproval of at leasttwo-thirds majority of allCovenant members.

The board accepted the

petition and while therewere some inconsistencieswith the signatures, “Theymade a strong case,” RSFAssociation President KenMarkstein said at the RSFAssociation board’s Dec. 6meeting.

The current process for aCovenant modification toincrease housing densityrequires two-thirds approvalfrom the adjacent propertyowners within 500 feet ofthe project—as well asCovenant Design ReviewCommittee and Associationboard approval.
