SAM Wants You

Posted By CotoBlogzz October 13, 2008 07:45 PM

Actually SAM does not want you, and it is not really SAM, but SAMLARC, the largest HOA in Rancho Santa Margarita, and what SAMLARC wants is a bite of your wallet.

The monthly assessments will be going up as of January 2009 some 20%, according to the associations October/November newsletter, in part, to subsidize the “Rancho Lifestyle” – any similarities to the subsidized Coto Lifestyle?

The Newsletter states that the “SAMLARC Board will work diligently to maintain a sensible balance between costs and budgets so that SAMLARC's facilities and programs continue to add value to both the assets and lifestyles of our community members”

Apparently SAMLARC may be using the same landscape consultants as the ones in Coto – if you walk along the east side of Santa Margarita Parkway, you will notice a number of young trees, planted directly under mature trees – déjà vu all over again! – And you thought only Coto had “troubled” trees.

Perhaps in the SAMLARC long range planning as they maintain a sensible balance between costs and budgets, they may want to invest in a few troubled mature Coto trees?
