Welcome To The Rancho Valencia Website
This is a website for all of us to use as a means of communication. Blogs, especially those on blogger.com, are fairly easy to navigate. I would suggest adding the site to your bookmarks to find it quickly. Hopefully we can post board minutes and other valuable information here so that it is easily accessible for everyone.
Below is the initial email Bill Stark sent out earlier this week...
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the RV Blog! Thank you for joining. I very much enjoyed speaking with many of you this last weekend. I think this will really help us as a community. It is kind of a neighborhood watch. We can take opinion polls on subjects before board meetings and share information.
If I have misspelled your name or you want to change your information, please send corrections to me so that I can finalize the list. A couple of homes are between e-mail addresses right now but do want to be a part of the list. I have included the list as an attachment so that you can sort it at will. If you don't see your neighbor on the list it is probably because they weren't home. Go tell them about the list, ask if they would like to be on it, and if they do then send me an e-mail with all the information. Please put RV Blog in the subject line so that even though we may not recognize the e-mail address it was sent from we will know it is from a neighbor. If I get an e-mail from someone I don't know I delete it without opening it.
This distribution is not for selling Girl Scout cookies or advertising your business. It is for communicating things like gate code changes, board meeting changes, information on maintenance or upcoming events. Anyone who breaks the rules may find themselves removed from the distribution list.
So what's on your mind? Hot topics that I discussed with many of you include:
1) The first house on the right as you enter from JFK. The landscaping is turning brown and the trees are dying. It is the signature home for our track and it must be kept looking nice. It is owned by Capital One and Darlene Kearney is the contact. (951)781-9965
2) The orange groves are looking great! Dave Pulver told me that the original plan was to skirt all the trees but to hedge and top every third row. He mentioned Saturday that the board has decided to bite the bullet and do all the rows. NOTE: one neighbor experienced a lot of flying debris (oranges & sticks) from the flywheel cutting machine. . . So look out!
3) Many neighbors expressed interest in having a community block party.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Bill Stark
Nighttime Flights
The Riverside Chamber just endorsed Polar Air which is the subsidiary of DHL who will be taking over the international night flights to Asia and Europe so we are running out of time to stop them. The public needs to demand new environmental impact studies be conducted as past decisions have been based on information from the 90s. To add insult to injury, DHL has a very profitable business with Iran! If we don't act now we will be stuck with night flights and even more air traffic which will drive the value of our homes down even more than the recession.

Who can we contact? The 3 - 4 am flights get me every morning! And I strongly believe that there must be some environmental impact from all of those planes, especially if they operate under the emission regulations of another country.

Remember to re-elect BOB BUSTER on June 3 for County Supervisor as he was the only official to vote AGAINST allowing DHL night flights until new comprehensive environmental impact studies were performed. (Unfortunately, the information used was outdated.) FRANK SCHIAVONE SUPPORTED DHL NIGHT OPERATIONS!! MORE NIGHT FLIGHTS WILL BE ADDED UNLESS YOU OBJECT NOW. CONTACT THE MAYOR AND YOUR COUNCILMAN - PLEASE DON'T DELAY.
URGENT--HELP PRESERVE THE VALUE OF OUR HOMES! PLEASE ATTEND THIS MEETING TO PROTEST NEW PLANS TO TURN MARCH BASE INTO ANOTHER LAX!!
According to the Press-Enterprise article published on Thurs., May 8, 2008, the March Jt. Powers Authority is pushing hard to obtain FAA approval to allow civilian aircraft to land at March Air Base -- that translates into corporate jet takeoffs and landings 24/7 which is the first step towards a commercial airport. The FAA approval item was added at the last minute to this past Weds.’ JPA meeting agenda in an attempt to push through the approval without the public being given a chance to weigh in. Fortunately, the meeting was rescheduled as a "General Aviation Public Hearing" to next Weds., MAY 14, 2008, at 3:00p. at 23555 Meyer Drive in Riverside. Contact No. 951-656-7000. This is your last chance to make a difference.
Join us at this critical meeting - Your neighbors, Ray Sears, Jeff Coming & Bruce Benter
