Dear Richard:
The preliminary review application you submitted to relocate the Technic Tea Cups, Aviator and
Caterpillar attractions has been reviewed. The following issues of concern which have been
identified must be satisfactorily resolved in order for the Planning Director to approve any
revision as being in substantial conformance with Site Development Plan Amendment 96-14(A):
1. The Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan allows "the relocation of attractions within the
interior of the park that will not substantially alter the appearance of the park from
any adjacent public road" subject to the approval of the Planning Director. The
proposed new location for the A via tor attraction is approximately 10 higher in
elevation than the existing approved location. The Planning Director has asked that
you place story poles or tether a balloon at the maximum height of the aviator
attraction at the proposed new location so that city staff can make a determination
relative to the above listed criteria for consideration in relocating attractions. As you
may recall this has been done in the past for the Batflyer attraction.
2. Should issue number one be satisfactorily resolved the plans will need to be revised to
show the expansion area 1 and 3 boundaries depicted on the existing plans for SDP
96-14(A).
3. The revised plans must also show the approved attraction m expansion area 1
consistent with the approved plans for SDP 96-14(A).
4. The following sheets may need to be revised should the proposed revisions be able to
be approved:
A. Sheet EE-102 -Conceptual Landscape J;>lan
B. Sheet EE-103 -Conceptual Grading, Drainage and Utilities
C. Sheet EE-302-Aviator Attraction
5. Attached are comments from the Engineepng Department that will need to be
addressed should issue number one be resolved. Please contact David Rick regarding
any questions you may have concerning the engineering comments.
