A preliminary review of your project was conducted on February 4, 1999. Listed
below are the issues raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary
review is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept of
your project. The preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of
your project. Additional issues of concern may be raised after your application is
submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review.
Planning:
1 . The submitted Substantial Conformance exhibit proposes unit changes on
eight (8) lots within the Bella Lago development (SOP 97-01 ). The
proposed revisions would involve changing seven (7) of the two-story
models (Model 3 and 3R) to one-story models (Models 1, 1 R, 2 and 2R). In
addition, the home on Lot 6 would switch from a Model 1 R to a Model 2R,
both one-story products. A table summarizing these changes, with specific
lot references, is attached.
The Bella Lago development is quite visible from Batiquitos Lagoon and the
neighboring public thoroughfares. As a result, the Aviara Master Plan limits
the number of two-story structures allowed in Bella Lago. Since the
proposed revisions create more one-story units that originally approved, and
since all required property line setbacks are still being met, the Planning
Director has determined that the application qualifies for substantial
conformance with the approved permit and therefore, approves the changes to
the project based on Planning Director Administrative Policy No. 35.
Please submit two (2) blueline copies (24" X 36") of all applicable exhibits for
the project file and a reproducible 24" X 36" mylar copy of the amended site

plan. The mylar must be submitted, stamped "Substantial Conformance", and
signed by the Planning Director prior to issuance of any building permits for
those lots shown in this Substantial Conformance request. .
Engineering:
1. The proposed changes to product type and driveways must comply with
City Standards, where a three (3) foot minimum distance from lot line to
top of apron flare is required. Lots 2, 3, 5, 6, and 44 need correction.
Conditions of approval of the Site Development Plan required correction of
some of these lots.
2. Sidewalk underdrains (SDRS D-27) are also a potential issue. It appears
that the plans show more that one underdrain per lot. Only one, if any,
drain per lot is allowed. The typical detail on sheet one of the approved site
plan shows surface flow across driveways to the street. The typical detail
on sheet one is supported by staff as an ideal maintenance-free system.
Please contact Michael Grim at (760) 438-1161, extension 4499 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
