HomeMy WebLinkAboutCDP 97-49; Flower Fields Retail Sales Building; Coastal Development Permit (CDP) (10)- City of Carlsbad January 22,1999 Mr. Chris Calkins CARLTASKB RANCH ENTERPRISES 5600 Avenida Encinas, Suite 100 Carlsbad, CA 92008 CDP 97-49: FLOWER FIELDS RIGHT OF WAY ENCROACHMENT Dear Chris, I have been asked by Principal Civil Engineer, Bob Wojcik, to respond to your telephone message yesterday to Associate Engineer, Clyde Wickham, regarding the "Stop Work Order" (Red Tag) for landscaping which is being installed along Palomar Airport Road (PAR), directly east of Paseo Del Norte (PDN). Both Bob and Clyde are out of the office today, so Bob has asked me to respond so as not to impact any schedule that you may have for your landscaping project. Therefore, to help keep your project moving forward, the following must be done: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The red tag is still in effect for any work being done within the existing right of way. Do not do any more work within the existing right of way. The red tag is still in effect for any work being done within the future right of way. However, if you submit a letter to the Public Works Director stating that you will remove any landscaping and irrigation within the existing and future right of way, at the direction of the City and at your expense, then this portion of the red tag will be lifted. You will be permitted to continue on-site work now that does not impact existing or future right of way. Any landscaping and sign placement that does not encroach into the ultimate right of way or block sight distance sight lines can be completed. In accordance with CDP 97-49, Planning Director Approval, dated February 10, 1998, Engineering Condition of Approval No.'s 65 and 66, immediately begin processing the right of way dedication along PAR and the PDN and Armada Drive curb returns. Currently, the existing project is not in compliance with the Conditions of Approval for the previous project's (2000sf retail building) Coastal Development Permit. (Application attached.) Apply for and concurrently process an Encroachment Permit for the work being done in the existing and future right of way. (Application attached.) 2075 Las Palmas Dr. Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 0 (760) 438-1161 FAX (760) 431-5769 @ ~- CDP 9749: FLOWER FIELDS RIGHT OF WAY ENCROACHMENT C. CALKINS LETTER; JANUARY 22,1999 2 As was discussed with Mr. Mike Cardosa from your ofice, staff will work with you on these issues. However, there must be cooperation between both parties. It is not the City’s intent to have you incur greater costs with your landscaping project, and as such, that is one reason why the project was red tagged. The City does not wish to see a property owner install improvements that will eventually have to be removed to facilitate future public improvements. The City fully intends to eventually widen PAR east of PDN to lessen traffic impacts at the PAWPDN intersection. Installing your landscaping out of this future widening area now will save you time and costs in the future. Again, I was asked to forward this correspondence to you today, so that you can immediately make decisions concerning your project so as not to cause you further delays. If you have questions, please contact Bob Wojcik at 438-1 161, extension 4333, or Clyde Wickham at extension 4353 on Monday, January 25, 1999. Best regards, Mdd MICHAEL J.
