Chat with Coto de Caza (CZ) Enforcement Coordinator

July 23, 2008

Resident: Does the association have any regulations regarding the use of motorized vehicles by teens in general and specifically the use of motorized skateboards, such as the ones in the photos below? If so, what are these?

Unlicensed drivers operating motorized vehicles within Coto de Caza

I am concerned about safety and nuisance, as these toys can reach excessive speeds and be overly loud.

CZ Master Enforcement Coordinator: Unlicensed drivers are not allowed to operate any motorized vehicle within CZ Master including, but not limited to golf carts, mopeds, motorbikes, motorized skateboards, etc. Golf carts, motorized skateboards and similar vehicles may not be operated on the streets in the CZ Master Association.

Resident: What do you do when Unlicensed drivers do operate motorized vehicle within CZ Maste"r - kids regularly do so in the Hillsboro district in general and up and down Torrey Pines in particular, usually during weekdays and between 2:00 -6:00 pm.

CZ Master Enforcement Coordinator: If witnessed and kids in area for a bit you could call patrol at 949 888-3800 to come and try to contact kids and tell them they are not allowed to operate these types of motor vehicles within the community or you could fill out the attached rules and violation report form and forward it to me if you have the names/addresses of children and I will sent letter(s) to the homeowners.

Resident: Thanks - I would gladly file a report if I had the name of the kids.

I am not sure calling the patrol would help - my daughter called that number few days back to report a disturbance at around 2:00 am - she got the first degree, so she gave up on whoever responded. She would not wake me up at that time and nothing was done. Not the first time

Your response implies that the patrol has not filed any complaints in the last few weeks for this issue - right?

CZ Master Enforcement Coordinator: I have not received an incident report from patrol as of today's date about motorized scooters. You would have to call them at 949 858-2290 to see if they have received any phone complaints about motorized skateboards.
