“We haven’t had a bloom like this in a long time, partly because we haven’t had rain like this in a long time,” says San Diego Botanic Garden CEO Julian Duval as he points out a sapphire tower, a Chilean plant now in bloom at the garden. See full story on page A10. Photo by Aaron Burgin

Del Mar Council OKs Barn at the Beach By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — Council members at the April 17 meeting approved the necessary permits for a scaleddown version of the “Barn at the Beach,” a temporary tent that will be set up at Powerhouse Park to hold events before and during the Breeders’ Cup this fall. “We want each and every community that hosts the Breeders’ Cup to put its own stamp on things,” Breeders’ Cup President Craig Fravel said. “So when the original concept of the ‘Barn at the Beach’ was brought to us … we were very enthusiastic.” Fravel said hosting a Council members approve the necessary permits for a scaled-down version of the “Barn at the Beach,” a

Proposed lagoon RANCHO SFNEWS timeshare sunk for.third time By Adam Sullivan

CARLSBAD — Residents along the Agua Hedionda lagoon value the tranquility and serenity of life on the still water. They’ve made that much well-known, through online petitions and email campaigns. So when it came time to vote on the proposal, the City Council was familiar with the dissenting opinion. The project, a proposal for a 20-unit timeshare, was voted 3-2 against. This is the third time this project has been up for a decision. One lagoon resident who wished to remain anonymous cited several reasons for their opposition: “Too intense, too many people, too much more traffic, too massive, too many transient people on the lagoon who don’t care like the residents do.” “It doesn’t contribute anything beneficial to the

neighborhood,” continued the resident. “It is a big business in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I am in utter disbelief that they proposed essentially the same project that was denied in 2008 and thought they could get away with it. “ Previously, the 20unit timeshare had been voted down twice, starting in 2008. Bill Hofman, of Hofman Planning, represents the property owners. He was disappointed at the outcome. “The writing is on the wall with this particular 20-unit timeshare development. Although it meets all city requirements and received a positive recommendation from the staff, it is very obvious that the Planning Commission and city council are not of a mind to support the project. That is unfortunate TURN TO LAGOON ON A16
