Coto de Caza, CA - The California Highway Patrol  (CHP) traffic accident report for the first  quarter of 2014  ending Mar 30, 204 (1Q2014) shows the traffic accident rate in Coto de Caza not only continues at a high rate, but it also registered its third traffic fatality during the watch of the current local governance - the CZ Master Association board of directors - while the California Highway Patrol hours are down 25% from a lawsuit mitigation strategy-  such strategy called for 40 random patrol hours per week.  According to CHP Spokesperson Officer Aaron Rothberg, the actual patrol hours for 4Q2013 were 30 hours per week.

To make matters worse, while the CZ Master Association allowed as significant drop in CHP patrol hours, it continues to encourage additional traffic in the community:

• The CZ board's continues its CZ subsidies  to accommodate population changes not in the dues-paying CZ community, but in subsidized communities such as the Estates, the Villages, the Stables, the Golf Club and now the Coto Polo Arena, such as the expenditure to build a turn-out lane by the un-manned North Gate, servicing mostly non-CZ residents.  At that time, we asked  CZ directors Xochitl Yocham and Bruce Banigan to  let  CBJ readers know the compelling argument used by the CZ board to spend the CZ resident's  money on this new turn out lane- we never got a response.
• CZ board lobbied the county to re-zone the Hunt Club property, otherwise known as the Khlada development, arguing that rezoning increases property values, creates jobs and promote the Coto LifeStyle™
• The board made a similar argument to support the Coto Polo Arena as described in the piece Coto De Caza Subsidies Qualify as Bellisimos.  In that instance, the CZ board  argued that the Polo Arena would NOT increase traffic in the community – California Highway Patrol  (CHP) collected over a ten-year period including three fatalities, clearly show that argument was also  flawed.
• Public safety was also compromised  when the CZ board of directors implemented the new online registration process and in the last few days is having it available to people outside the community as 

NOTE:    According to CHP Officer Rothberg, the death of Mr. Nalezny is still under investigation waiting for the toxicology report.

Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch 1Q2011 Public Safety Review Coto de Caza, CA –By its own words and actions, it is fair to argue that Coto de Caza’s local governance is not only apathetic when it comes to public safety, but its own actions actually result increase the risk to residents. Worse, seems like adults in Coto de Caza have similar views as the local governance. Our research over close to ten years indicate that whether a community is safe or not, is primarily a function of residents and local governance, not law enforcement. Consider that when a city in Orange County is deemed the safest city, what about the other 11 cities or the unincorporated areas? What about Coto de Caza with the highest crime rate in history in early 2010. After all, only common denominator is that the OCSD is the law enforcement agency. What does the OCSD do differently in the safest city, as opposed to the least safe city under its watch? Coto de Caza's Traffic Incident Rate at Critical Danger Levels Coto de Caza, CA - While the Coto de Caza's total population has been shrinking for the last ten years, including placement of 17 property liens for the month of January 2011 out of roughly 3500 homes, the policies pursued by the CZ Master association board of directors, the local governance, have consistently increased traffic with a reduction in CHP patrol hours, with predictable results. Consider that for close to a decade, we have consistently shown conclusive evidence that there is a direct correlation between the extent of the CHP traffic enforcement efforts and the number of traffic accidents in the community.
