Bob Wojcik
Land Development Department
City of Carlsbad Community Development Building
2075 Las Palmas Drive
Carlsbad CA 92009-1576
Dear Mr. Wojcik:
I recently had a telephone conversion with Tim Fennessy, in the Engineering Department
concerning the homeowners of the Sanderting development located in Aviara, requesting
from the Board of Directors of Sanderling, what would be required of the Association from
the City of Carlsbad, to relocate and open the SDG&E Easement Gates which are now
closed to resident traffic. These gates were installed by our developer, Barratt American,
according to an agreement with the City of Carlsbad and SDG&E. Tim stated that I would
have to define the issue with the City of Carlsbad. I will give you a history and description
of what the Association requests of your department.
These SDG&E gates were open for over 2 years while Barratt was actively building and
selling homes. Now with Barratt completing all construction and sales in Sanderling, the
gates have been padlocked permanently. Our Sanderling residents are concerned about
being restricted to only one ingress and egress, for many good reasons. An emergency
vehicle could mistakenly enter the lower level gate (Baccharis) off Aviara Parkway, instead
of entering the upper level gate (Cormorant) off Ambrosia Lane.
Also, many homeowners have indicated to the Board of Directors that they were not told
by the developer, Barratt, upon purchase of a home in Sanderling that the SDG&E gates
would be eventually closed, and would not allow for any resident street traffic from Unit 1
(lower level) and Unit 2 (upper level) and vice-versa. With the gates closed, a resident now
has to physically exit the project onto either Aviara Parkway or Ambrosia Lane to drive
from one level of Sanderting to another. To many residents, it seems tike two different
developments, instead of one.
Another drawback to the Sanderting homeowners having only one entry to each level is
the amount of traffic on Ambrosia Lane certain times of the day when parents are
dropping children off or picking children up from the Aviara Oaks School, located on
Ambrosia Lane. The traffic situation is only going to get worse when the Aviara Middle
School opens next year. The 53 residents who live in the upper level have no choice but to
enter and exit through the Cormorant gate, then proceed on Ambrosia to Aviara Parkway.
Due to the fact that all streets in Sanderling are considered by the City to be private, the
Board of Directors is requesting from your department what is required by the Association
from the City of Carlsbad, to open the SDG&E gates to resident and invited guest traffic. I
have had conversions with the SDG&E official, John Hernandez. He is receptive to
entering into a consent agreement with the Association to re-locate the gates to another
location in the immediate area that would still protect his company's interests in this area.
There is no problem with SDG&E with this change.
At our last Board of Directors Meeting the topic of Association liability and safety of the
SDG&E Easement Road was brought up for discussion. Some Board members believe that
this road needs to meet all required City Codes for streets. Here are examples of the
questions your department can help us answer.
• If this access road were to be opened up to through traffic, would installation of a
north curb be necessary?
• Would a street light need to be installed?
• Due to the curve in the road, is a sidewalk required for pedestrian traffic?
• Is this access road built to the same specifications as the other private streets in
Sanderling?
• Is there proper drainage presently?
• Are speed bumps required?
• What about any signage indicting a curve ahead?
• Are any permits, licenses, or inspections required by the City of Carlsbad?
These are all questions the Association needs answers to before this SDG&E access road
can be used as a through-fare and the Association isn't put in "harms-way" in allowing
this change in the original design plans from the City of Carlsbad.
The Board of Directors would appreciate it if you would help us in this matter. After you
review the complete building plans for Sanderling and wish to visit the site, please contact
me and I would be interested in meeting you at your earliest convenience. I can be reached
at 431-1645. Any written correspondence should be sent to our property management
company, addressed to the "Board of Directors." Whatever you decide on this issue, the
Association will need conformation of any decisions made, in writing for our records.
Thank you for your prompt attention given to this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Bob Lang, President

RE: Substantial Conformance Exhibit for Emerald Ridge East
C.T. 95-05
Dear Mr. Shirey:
In accordance with the City's requirements for a letter of explanation
accompanying a submittal for substantial conformance, the following will
explain the changes made to C.T. 95-05, Emerald Ridge East:
1. Lot Lines
In order to comply with the City's requirements regarding
side yard dimensions and maximum retaining wall heights, it is
necessary to adjust the side lot lines between Lots 33 & 34, 34 &
35, 35 & 36, 36 & 37, 55 & 56, 56 & 57, 57 & 58, 58 & 59, and 59
& 60. This is due to the fact that the grade differential between the
lots would require a higher retaining wall, closer to the lot line, be
constructed to achieve the desired 5' side yard. In conjunction
with these lot line changes, the pad elevations of Lots 33-35 must
be raised 0.4', 0.3' and 0.5' respectively, to achieve adequate pad
drainage.
The proposed lot line changes are very minor (approx. 3' average), all
lots conform to City regulations and conditions of approval, and no
additional lots are being created.
I believe this addresses all changes requiring substantial conformance
review. Any questions may be addressed to the undersigned.
Very truly yours,

hi accordance with your request, we have performed a geotechnical evaluation of the proposed side-yard
drainage swales for the lots of Poinsettia Shores Planning Areas ] and 2, Carlsbad Tract Nos. 94-04 and
94-05, Carlsbad California, We understand thai some of the residential structures of Poinaettia Shores
Planning Areas A-1 and A-2 are approximately 5 feet from the side-yard property line. As a result, the
recommended surface drainage design (e.g. positive drainage XWXY from the residential structure at a
gradient of At lost 2 percent far a distance of at least S feet) cannot be met on fioroe of the lots.
Therefore, we have prepared this letter addressing the condition and have provided an alternative
geotechnkal recommendation. As pan of our evaluation, we have reviewed the referenced report and
plans and have discussed the issue with Mr. Tim Carroll of O'Day Consultants.
A& an alternative to the previous surface drainage recommendations (Leighton, 1995X we recommend
that surface drainage adjacent to the residential structures of Planning Areas A-l and A-2 be
accomplished with a gradient of at least 3-1/2 percent away from the structure for a nrnrimmn horizontal
distance of 3 feet and be further maintained by A swale or drainage path at a gradient of at least 1 perctm

to A suitable collection device (i.e. area drain, street gutter, etc.). Where necessary, drainage paths may be
shortened by the use of area drains or collector pipes. It is very important that these gradients be
maintained throughout the life of the structure. Have gutters with properly connected downspouts that
drain precipitation away from the residential structure and reduce water infiltration into the subgrade soils
arc also recommended.

Subject: Response to Plan Check Comments, Emerald Hills-East, Carlsbad, California
Dear Sir:
At the request of Mr. Mike Rollett, with Hunsaker & Associates, GeoSoils, Inc. has reviewed
the plan check comment from the City of Carlsbad Engineering Department regarding the
location of side yard swales for the proposed subject development. The minimum distance
from a given structure to the flow line of side yard drainage may be reduced from 5 feet,
per City Standard GS-15, to a minimum of 3 feet. Due to the decreased setback from the
structure to the drainage swale, adjacent footing embedment should maintain a minimum
depth equivalent to 6 inches below the flow line elevation of the adjacent swale. The
installation of area drains in side yards should also be considered. Trenching for area
drains should remain above a 1:1 projection downward from the outside bottom edge of
any adjacent footing.
The opportunity to be of service is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions
regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

RE: Substantial Conformance Exhibit for Emerald Ridge East
C.T. 95-05
Dear Mr. Shirey:
In accordance with the City's requirements for a letter of explanation accompanying a
submittal for substantial conformance, the following will explain the changes made to
C.T. 95-05, Emerald Ridge East:
1. Pad Elevations
Upon review of the tentative map pad elevations, it was determined that
some were too high for the street elevations shown, such that driveway grades
would become a problem. Also, a check of the earthwork indicated that grading
to the tentative map elevations would result in a substantial amount of export
(20,000 yds+). Finally, some of the grades and elevations on "D" Street did not
fit with the street centerline and the surrounding pad elevations.
In order to correct these problems, the street grades were raised on all
streets except "D" Street, where they were lowered. Accordingly, where
necessary, pad elevations were raised or lowered. The greatest pad elevation
change occurs on Lot 37, which is 2.8 ft. lower due to the change in street grade
on "D" Street.
2. Lot Lines
In conjunction with grading elevation changes and design restrictions,
minor lot line changes were made throughout. Changes were made to Lots 1
and 60 at the project entrance to maintain pad area and eliminate additional
retaining walls. However, there was no overall reduction in open space area and
no change in the number of lots.

3. Retaining Walls
Retaining walls were added to Lots 52,53,54,58 and 60 to maintain
adequate pad area. The greatest visible wall height is 3.4' in the corner of Lot
58.
I believe this addresses all changes requiring substantial conformance review. Any
questions may be addressed to the undersigned.

Dear Mr. Pantich:
Pursuant to your request, and the request of Mr. Robert Ladwig (Ladwig Design Group, Inc.),
GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI) is providing the following response to the City of Carlsbad Planning
Departments' review letter dated November 3, 1995. The City's review letter has requested
additional geotechnical information regarding manufactured slope height(s) and on the utility
easement through the open space directly north of Lot 7. In addition, it is GSI's understanding
that no additional comments on manufactured slope benches are needed at this time. GSI's
comments are provided below.
Manufactured Slope Heights
Based upon review of the referenced plans by Land Space Engineering (dated September 26,
1995), a portion of the cut slope along the eastern edge of "C" Street (i.e., Open Space Lot 63)
has a proposed height equal to or greater than that allowed in the City Hillside Development
Ordinance standards (i.e., 30 feet). It appears that a section of the proposed cut slope along
C "Street" (Station 4+40 to 6+50) will range from between 30 to 38 feet in height. Based upon
the preliminary subsurface data collected during GSI's initial assessment, the slope as proposed
is anticipated to be grossly stable, provided recommendations submitted in the referenced
geotechnical report are incorporated into design and construction. Due to the precursory nature
of GSI's initial assessment however, additional subsurface studies have been recommended
(GSI, 1994) to further analyze the stability of the slope.

Utility Easement in Open Space
The referenced plans indicate that a utility easement is planned within the descending natural
slopes of the open space north of Lot 7. Sewer and stormdrain mains are proposed within the
30-foot wide easement. The City of Carlsbad has expressed concerns over this plan,
considering their experience with slope instability due to stormdrain failures. It is the opinion
of GSI, that provided adverse geotechnical conditions (i.e., daylighted bedding, thick surficial
soils, groundwater seepage, etc.) are not encountered during grading and construction, and that
the "wet" utilities are sealed and constructed in accordance with current industry standards, the
utility easement should perform adequately. If adverse conditions are detected, remedial grading
may be warranted. Remedial grading recommendations would be based upon actual field
conditions, and may include (but not limited to) removal and recompaction of the unsuitable
conditions.
If you should have any questions or if we can be of further service, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.

Dear Mr. Palkowitsh:
Pursuant to the request of Mr. Robert Ladwig (Ladwig Design Group, Inc.), GeoSoils, Inc. (GSI)
is providing the following update letter on the proposed subject Emerald Ridge - East
development in Carlsbad.
For review purposes, this project was previously referred to as the Kelly Property (i.e., Hidden
Valley Estates). Other than seasonal brush management, current site conditions on the site
appear to be consistent with conditions noted in the referenced soils report.
Based upon review of the referenced plan (by Land Space Engineering), cut and fill grading is
proposed to create the configurations for building pads, interior roadways and open space lots.
Except for changes in lot number designations and limited changes in lot layout, slope location
and geometry, the plans do not appear to differ substantially from previous plans utilized in our
geotechnical assessment of the property. The property appears to be suitable for the planned
development provided recommendations submitted in the above referenced geotechnical report
(dated September 6, 1994) are incorporated into design and construction.

Re: Coastal Development Permit Application #6-96-119-A
Dear Mr. Ladwig:
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner but I caught up with work associated with
last week's mailing for the Commission's May meeting. Pursuant to our correspondence
via fax and messages left with your secretary, the above-referenced permit amendment is
still valid. Specifically, this office processed a non-material amendment dated 2/20/97 to
allow an extension of the permitted grading period (August 1 to February 15th) an
additional 60 days (approx.) past the February 15th deadline with the addition of noise
mitigation measures to avoid impacts to sensitive bird species in the surrounding area. It
was my understanding at the time that when we processed the amendment that the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) did not have any concerns with an ending date for the
grading as long as all of the mitigation measures were implemented. On April 7th you
contacted me to let me know that due to delays at the City, you had not yet been able to
commence with grading. This letter is to confirm that this office concurs that grading
occurring at this time is considered within the parameters of the above-referenced
amendment because we indicated that grading could occur "approx." 60 days past February
15th. In addition, given that the USFWS has confirmed that grading docs not need to be
completed by any specific deadline, provided that the mitigation measures identified in the
permit amendment are implemented, we have no problem with grading at this time and the
above-referenced permit amendment is still valid.
Please give me a call if you have any further questions. Thank you!

Re: Emerald Ridge East Tentative Map, Carlsbad, California
Dear Mr. Ladwig:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) issued a 4(d) concurrence letter to you dated March
6,1996 regarding the Emerald Ridge East and West Tentative Maps exclusive of Hidden Valley
Road. The letter specified that grading and construction of the proposed Emerald Ridge East and
West housing development projects occur during the nonbreeding season of the coastal
California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica) between February 15 and August 1.
Subsequently, on January 14, 1997 we received a letter from Lisa Embree of Brian F. Mooney
Associates requesting permission to grade Emerald Ridge East during the breeding season
including ways to minimize impacts to the gnatcatcher.
Emerald Ridge East consists of 25.73 acres of disturbed (formerly agricultural) lands, 1.47 acres
of coastal sage scrub, and 0.17 acre of wetland vegetation. A gnatcatcher was observed in the
southeastern corner of the proposed project site in July 1995.
Proposed impacts on Emerald Ridge East include the loss of .5 acre of low quality coastal sage
scrub in isolated patches not occupied by the gnatcatcher and the loss of .14 of .97 acre of mid to
high quality coastal sage scrub occupied by the gnatcatcher.
It is the Service's understanding that the .19 acres of coastal sage scrub proposed to be impacted
on Emerald Ridge East will be grubbed prior to February 15,1997. The concern related to
grading the site after February 15 is related primarily to the affect of noise on gnatcatchers that
occur in proposed conservation areas in and adjacent to the southeastern corner of the property.
The area of coastal sage scrub to be impacted by noise is small and the Service concurs to
amending our 4(d) concurrence letter dated March 6,1996 to allow for grading of Emerald Ridge
East after February 15 If: 1) the .19 acres of coastal sage scrub proposed to be impacted are
grubbed before February 15; and 2) grading of the site proceeds with implementation of
measures 2 through 4 as outlined in Lisa Embree's letter dated January 14,1997.
Implementation of measure #1 may prolong the number of days it takes to complete the grading
and may extend the amount of time that gnatcatchers are exposed to construction noise.

Subject: Emerald Ridge East Tentative Map
Dear Mr. Corey:
This letter has been prepared on behalf of Mr. Gary Engle of Monarch Communities of
California and is in regards to the Emerald Ridge East Tentative Map project. It references a
letter from your office dated March 6, 1996 addressed to Mr. Bob Ladwig of Ladwig Design
Group, that discusses both the Emerald Ridge East and West Tentative Map projects. Page 2
of the Service's letter states that the Service recommends grading and construction of each of
the projects occur during the nonbreeding season of the California gnatcatcher (between August
1 and February 15). In addition, the letter recommends that grading and construction noise
should be minimized to reduce disturbance to the gnatcatcher.
In all likelihood, grading permits for Emerald Ridge East will not be issued by the City of
Carlsbad until after February 15. To ensure the on-site sage scrub is cleared prior to February
15, Mr. Engle has agreed to have the sage scrub habitat hand cleared. During a phone
conversation you had with me last week, you said this would be agreeable with the Service.
However, noise due to grading as well as construction of the project will occur beyond the
February 15th deadline. Although existing noise levels for the project site are high (varying
between 55 CNEL at the southern boundary to above 65 CNEL near the northern boundary) due
to both traffic on Palomar Airport Road and the McClellan-Palomar Airport, the project
. proponent has considered several measures to minimize potential noise impacts to the gnatcatcher
during grading and construction:
1) limit work that generates noise above 65 dBA in adjacent sage scrub until after 11
AM;
2) have a biological monitor on-site to periodically monitor gnatcatcher behavior within
the adjacent sage scrub;
3) place an earthen berm, approximately four to five feet in height above the pad grade
along the southern boundaries of lots 46 through 51. An earthen berm will also be
constructed along the property boundaries near lot 26 where off-site sage scrub occurs.

These berms will form noise barriers between sage scrub either in open space lots or off-
site and the construction area. If construction near either of these berms is completed
prior to August 1 , the berm will be removed but only after 1 1 AM; and
4) locate staging area(s) near the center of the site, close to the entrance of the
development from Hidden Valley Road. Vehicles and all equipment not in use will be
parked in the staging area(s) during the duration of the grading and construction of the
project. Mufflers on all equipment will be periodically checked to ensure they are
working properly.
Since the February 15th deadline is quickly nearing, we would appreciate you commenting on
these proposed noise-reducing measures as expediently as possible. You can call me at (619)
578-8964 with comments and/or questions. Thank you for your time.

Re: Emerald Ridge East and West Tentative Maps exclusive of Hidden Valley Road
Dear Mr. Ladwig:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the proposed adjacent Emerald Ridge
East and West residential housing projects located in the City of Carlsbad approximately 500 feet
south of Palomar Airport Road and 1.5 miles east of Interstate 5. The proposed Emerald Ridge
East project is a Tentative Map to divide approximately 27.4 acres into 60 residential lots and
three open space lots. The proposed Emerald Ridge West project is a Tentative Map to divide
approximately 28.9 acres into 61 residential lots and one open space lot.
Emerald Ridge West consists of 20.55 acres of disturbed (formerly agricultural) habitat, 6.44
acres of coastal sage scrub, 1.2 acres of southern mixed chaparral, 0.43 acres of riparian
vegetation, and 0.23 acre of an unvegetated drainage channel. The threatened coastal California
gnatcatcher (Polioptila califomica californicd) was observed in the northeastern corner of the
site in July 1995.
Proposed impacts on Emerald Ridge West as a result of the proposed tentative map includes the
loss of .05 acres of disturbed coastal sage scrub and 0.07 acre of mid to high quality coastal sage
scrub. It is the Service's understanding that the 0.05 acre of impacted coastal sage scrub
identified in the Emerald Ridge West TM adjacent to the proposed intersection of Calie Serena
and Hidden Valley Road is the same 0.05 acre of impacted coastal sage scrub identified in the Mar
Vista project (CT 94-11) report. Mar Vista is west and adjacent to Emerald Ridge West and
access to Mar Vista is proposed to go through Emerald Ridge West. It is the Service's
understanding that the 0.05 acre of coastal sage scrub identified in both projects will be mitigated
through the Emerald Ridge West Tentative Map. Additionally, under the Emerald Ridge West
Tentative Map, impacts and mitigation associated with the construction of Hidden Valley Road
which traverses the eastern portion "of the proposed project site, will be the responsibility of the
Sambi Seaside Heights project to the south and will not be reviewed in this letter.
Proposed mitigation for the impacts to coastal sage scrub on Emerald Ridge West include onsite
preservation of 4.82 acres of coastal sage scrub and purchasing 0.19 acre of land within a San
Diego County coastal mitigation bank. Impacts to 0.05 acre of disturbed coastal sage scrub
would be mitigated at a 1:1 ratio (0.05 acre).
Mr. Ladwig " 2
Impacts to 0.07 acre of mid to high quality coastal sage scrub would be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio
(0.14 acre).
Emerald Ridge East consists of 25.73 acres of disturbed (formerly agricultural) lands, 1.47 acres
of coastal sage scrub, and 0.17 acre of wetland vegetation. A gnatcatcher was observed in the
southeastern corner of the proposed project site in July 1995.
Proposed impacts on Emerald Ridge East include the loss of .5 acres of low quality coastal sage
scrub in isolated patches not occupied by the gnatcatcher and the loss of .14 of .97 acres of mid to
high quality coastal sage scrub occupied by the gnatcatcher.
Proposed mitigation includes preservation of 0.83 acre of coastal sage scrub within 7.64 acres of
natural open space and the purchase of 0.78 acre of land within a San Diego County coastal
mitigation bank. Impacts to 0.5 acre of unoccupied and isolated coastal sage scrub is proposed to
be mitigated at a 1:1 ratio (0.50 acre). Impacts to 0.14 acre of coastal sage scrub contiguous with
other habitat to the south and occupied by the gnatcatcher would be mitigated at .a 2:1 ratio (0.28
acre).
For both Tentative Maps, the total amount of directly impacted coastal sage scrub would be 0.31
acre mitigated through the purchase of 0.97 acre of land within a coastal San Diego County
mitigation bank or other appropriate site and the preservation of 5.65 acres of coastal sage scrub
within 14.01 acres of open space onsite.
In the Biological Survey and Report for Emerald Ridge East, the option to revegetate .92 acres of
disturbed land in the southeastern corner of the proposed project site to coastal sage scrub is
offered in lieu of purchasing mitigation lands offsite. However, the Service generally does not
give full mitigation credit to revegetation efforts because of the lag time and limited success rate.
Also, the disturbed area is adjacent to coastal sage scrub currently proposed for preservation
which may act as a natural seed bank for the disturbed area. Thus, the disturbed area may
revegetate over time without any additional effort. The Service recommends purchasing
appropriate offsite lands as mitigation rather than actively revegetating the disturbed area
identified onsite. If you would like to pursue revegetating the 0.92 acre disturbed area with
coastal sage scrub, we offer our assistance in developing a revegetation strategy.
The Service concurs with the proposed mitigation strategy for Emerald Ridge West and East
Tentative Maps involving the purchase of appropriate offsite lands and believes that these projects
are appropriate for the 4(d) Rule because the amount of impacted habitat is small and the
proposed projects do not preclude conservation planning options in the City of Carlsbad. The
Service also recommends that grading and construction of the proposed projects occur during the
non-breeding season for the gnatcatcher between August 1 and February 15. Minimizing the
impacts of noise within the remaining areas of coastal sage scrub during grading and construction
may help to'reduce disturbance to the gnatcatcher, and the Service is willing to work with you
regarding this issue.
