Dennis, Ken and I have reviewed my comments and have made appropriate modifications to the Conditions of Approval. I have agreed to all the Conditions of Approval with the exception of number 12. Dennis Turner stated in our meeting that this condition is a legal issue and my comments should be addressed to you. In order to continue the approval process and maintain my Planning Commission hearing date of September 17, 1997, I have requested this condition be modified at the Planning Commission hearing. The concern I have is with the third sentence which states "Prior to issuance of a building permit the developer shall provide the Planning Department with a recorded copy of the official CC&R's that have been approved by the Department of Real Estate and the Planning Director." I am requesting this sentence be deleted in its entirety. I believe it is the concern of the City that the CC&R's be recorded with the information stated in the Conditions of Approval. This project is being developed and is conditioned to create a Homeowners Association (HOA). With an HOA, the Department of Real Estate (DRE) requires the project to have the CC&R's approved along with the HOA budget, sales agreement, trust deed, annexation documents and other miscellaneous documents. Currently it takes four to six months to obtain a public "White" report from the DRE. I will not be able to sell or close a home until the DRE issues a public "White" report for this project. It is in my best interest that the CC&R's be recorded as soon as possible. Waiting for this approval to issue building permits will unduly forestall our project. To address your concerns, I am willing to add to condition 12 a statement that I am required to submit to the City of Carlsbad copies of the recorded CC&R's within ten days after issuance of the public report. 26440 La Alameda, Suite 370 Mission Viejo, CA. 92691 - Tel: (714) 582-4111 - Fax: (714) 582-4115 Mr. Rich Rudolf Assistant City Attorney CITY OF CARLSBAD RE: CT 97-08/PUD 97-05 MS 97-05/PUD 97-08 September 8, 1997 Page 2 Please give me a call prior to the Planning Commission hearing on September 17, 1997 to discuss this issue and to revise condition 12 to address all our concerns.

In looking over the plans, we notice that there are no sidewalks on the plans for the driveway cul-de-sac area of Phase 1 , nor are there sidewalks on the plans along the El Fuerte Street side of Mar Vista Phase 2. It is our desire that you request TRC Development Corporation to install sidewalks in both the areas we have noted above. It is a safety hazard for children to walk within the cul-de- sac area and along El Fuerte Street without sidewalks to use for a safe route to and from school.

City of Carlsbad Planning Department Augusts, 1997 Arthur Markovits 3002 Unicornio St. Carlsbad, CA 92009 SUBJECT: MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR MARVISTA, PHASE 2 (MS 97-05) Dear Mr. Markovits, Thank you for your July 28 letter of response to our July 16 "Notice of Filing of Tentative Parcel Map", for the above project. First, I must apologize for our delay in responding to your letter. You have requested additional information about the project, and this response is intended to explain a bit more about the project and to tell you how you can get even more. A major portion (but not all) of the vacant property on the north side of Unicornio Street, westerly of El Fuerte Street, is being proposed for residential development. The developer, Avalon Homes, has obtained purchase options on five of the six vacant lots there, lots 6-9 and 11 on the attached map. He has been unable to obtain an option for lot 10. He wants to build single -family residences on these lots. Because of the intervening lot 10, we are forced under City codes to process the two non-contiguous sites as two separate project applications. Lots 6-9 will be subject to a tentative map for a major subdivision and a Planned Development of 17 units on 22 lots (CT 97-08 and PUD 97-05). Lot 11 will need a Minor Subdivision (tentative parcel map) and a minor Planned Development permit for four units/lots (MS 97-05 and PUD 97-08). If approved, both sites would be operated under a single home-owners' association, with shared recreation facilities. The entire project is to be called "Marvista at La Costa". The larger parcel is being called Marvista, Phase 1 and the smaller parcel is being called Marvista, Phase 2 for processing purposes. Under the City's codes, the two parcels are subject to entirely different approval processes. The permits for the Phase 1 project are approved together by the City's Planning Commission, following formal environmental review and a full, formal public hearing (tentatively scheduled for September 17). The work to prepare the reports and documents for Phase 1 is still in progress and notices about the project and public hearing will be sent out to all property owners within a 600-foot radius of the site at least ten days before the hearing. On the other hand, the two approvals for Phase 2, for which you received a notice on the tentative parcel map, are subject only to administrative processes. This means that there is no formal public hearing, and the 2O75 Las Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92OO9-1576 • (619) 438-1161 • FAX (619) 438-O894 MINOR SUBDIVISION &R MARVISTA, PHASE 2 (MS 97-0^ AUGUSTS, 1997 PAGE 2 approving authority is the City Engineer for the map and the Planning Director for the Planned Development. There is no notice requirement for the minor Planned Development, only the four- lot parcel map. You may, however, provide informal input and express any concerns you may have to either decision-maker. And, of course, you are invited to participate in the hearing for Phase 1. Although Phase 2 was submitted to us after Phase 1, the processing steps have resulted in the public notice for the Phase 2 map preceding the one which will be issued soon for Phase 1. I hope this isn't too confusing. In any case, I would be very pleased to answer any questions you may have about either project or the City's approval processes if you would care to give me a call at the Planning Department (438-1161, ext. 4443) or stop in. In addition, you may view the plans for both developments (including landscaping and architectural elevations) in our offices during regular business hours (7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mon. - Thurs. and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Fridays).

The purpose of this document is to safeguard property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures. The recommendations are presented in two sections, site considerations and building recommendations. Site Considerations Lighting The police department suggests that individual homes be equipped on all sides with lighting fixtures to illuminate the sides of the building. Light gives someone the perception of being seen. The lights do not have to be of considerable wattage, low levels of light are sufficient to provide a blanket of light. Further, the fixtures should be equipped with dawn to dusk sensors or timers. The department recommends that the fixtures be adapted to use something other than an incandescent bulb for energy efficiency. Additionally, it is recommended that these fixtures be enclosed in vandal resistant covers. Light Sources • Incandescent or Halogen lamps are short lived and fairly expensive to operate. They put out a nice bright light and are easy to control. They are compact. • Fluorescent lamps are less expensive to operate than Incandescent or Halogen and have a longer life. They put out a good light but are a little more difficult to direct. They are larger than the previous two. • Mercury Vapor lamps are less expensive to operate than Incandescent or Halogen and have a long life. Their color is not as good as fluorescent but they are easier to direct and control. They are compact. • Metal Halide lamps require fewer fixtures to illuminate an area but have a shorter life than Mercury Vapor. They provide an excellent light and are easy to direct and control. They are compact. • High Pressure Sodium Vapor lamps require few fixtures and have a low operating cost. The fixtures are expensive to purchase. They put out an excellent light and are easy to direct and control. They are compact. • Low Pressure Sodium Lamps have the lowest operating cost of all the lamps. The fixtures are expensive but few are required. They put out a yellow light and the clarity is not good. They are easy to direct and control. They are longer in size. Landscaping The police department recommends that exterior landscaping be kept at a minimal height and fullness giving police, security services and the public surveillance capabilities into the area. Shrubs should be low profile, below three feet. Landscaping should be designed keeping a space between the tops of shrubs and the bottoms of trees. The canopy of a tree should not be lower than five feet. Trees should not provide access to the roof or balconies. Landscaping should be designed to augment, not deter from lighting. Security plants can be applied where necessary to prevent loitering and tampering. Security plants have prickly leaves or thorns. They limit access over fences and through windows. They also reduce concealing and loitering. Plant low level security plants on or around problem areas. Security landscaping used with appropriate fences provide excellent security, deterring intruders. For a list of security plants, please contact the Crime Prevention Office at 931-2105. Hills, burms and landscaping that has been designed to conceal a house also provides a place for an intruder to hide. For optimal security, it is necessary to have surveillance of a house from the street and from neighboring yards. Walls and fences should be of the see through variety for the purpose of surveillance. Tall solid walls around a home provide cover. Walls and fences at entrance ways should allow surveillance. Trees should be pruned away from fences to not provided access over the fence. Thick foliage at the fence line impairs yard visibility and conceals a breach in the fence. Gates should have locking devices and should also be of the see through variety. Addressing All dwellings should display a street number in a prominent location on the street side of the residence, in such a position that the number is easily visible to approaching emergency vehicles. The numerals should be no less than four (4) inches in height and should be of a contrasting color to the background to which they are attached. It is further recommended that house numbers be displayed in illuminated fixtures. Entrances It is recommended that entrance ways be kept clear of clutter. Also it is necessary that vision from the front access street be available to front door entrance areas. Homes that have been designed without this consideration have been more susceptible to front entrance penetration. Surveillance is important. Building Considerations Doors All wooden doors into the residence should be of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths (1-3/4) inches. This includes the garage pedestrian door, and the door from the garage into the residence. Further, all doors should be equipped with a single cylinder deadbolt lock using a 5-pin tumbler that should be connected to the inner portion of the lock by connecting screws. The lock should have a one inch throw that has been designed to withstand a cutting tool attack. The deadbolt should embed at least three-fourths of an inch into the strike plate. Finally, the strike plate should be reenforced with a minimum of two, 3 inch screws. All entry and exit doors to dwelling units should be arranged so that the occupant has a view of the area immediately outside the door without opening the door. Except doors requiring a fire protection rating that prohibits them, such view may be provided by a door viewer having a field of view of not less than 190 degrees. Mounting height should not exceed fifty- four inches from the floor. Further, here should not be glass panels within forty inches of a locking device. Doors that are partially glass also require a single cylinder deadbolt lock. Also, they should be equipped with a burglar resistant glaze to prevent someone from breaking the glass to enter the home. Sliding Doors Horizontal sliding doors should be equipped with a metal guide track at top and bottom. The bottom track should be so designed that the door cannot be lifted from the track when the door is in the locked position. Also, the door should also be equipped with security hardware such as a pin. Double Doors The inactive leaf of a double door requires the same solid core construction as a single door and should be equipped with metal flush bolts, having a minimum embedment of five-eighths (5/8) inch into the head and threshold of the door frame. Hinges Hinges for out-swinging doors should be equipped with non-removable hinge pins or a mechanical interlock to preclude removal of the door from the exterior by removing the hinge pins. Garage Doors Doors that exceed sixteen feet in width should have two lock receiving points; or, if the door does not exceed nineteen feet, a single bolt may be used if placed in the center of the door, with the locking point located either at the floor or door frame header. Or, torsion spring counter balance type hardware may be used. Windows All movable windows should be equipped with security hardware to prevent them from being lifted from the frame. By, Jodeene R.

This policy allows housing tracts in the Southwest Quadrant of the city to apply for and purchase affordable housing credits from the 344 unit affordable housing project known as Villa Loma. It is my understanding that Marvista II, Tentative Parcel map 97-05 consisting of 4 units qualifies to pay in-lieu fees for the 4 units as the tentative parcel map has less than 7 units. The City of Carlsbad's planning department is processing Marvista I & II as two different projects and their inclusionary housing obligations should be considered separately. The Planing Department cannot complete there review of this project until there is a consensus that the above project qualifies for the purchase of affordable housing credits. Please inform me as quickly as possible on the status of credits available for purchase for these projects and the time required to process and approve this application. To assist you I have included 8 l/i X 11 copies of the tentative maps. 26440 La Alameda, Suite 370 Mission Viejo, CA. 92691 - Tel: (714) 582-4111 - Fax: (714) 582-4115 Evan Becker July 16, 1997 Page 2 I you have any questions or need additional information do hesitate to call me.

Off-site or Combined Project Name: 344 unit affordable housing project known as Villa Loma 3. Description of Project with Inclusionary Housing Obligation: Marvista 1 & 11 is a small infill project located at the northwest corner of El Fuerte Street and Unicornio Avenue. The project consists of 5 previously graded lots totaling approximately 3.13 acres. The project will provide 17 units and 4 units respectively of single family housing ranging in size from 1,800 to 2,050 square feet, with a minimum lot size of 3,500 square feet. There are four small cul-de-sacs with 4 to 6 unit in each cul-de-sac. 4. Proposed On-sitc Project Description (if any): None 5. Proposed Off-site Project Description: 344 unit affordable housing project known as Villa Loma. Marvista at La Costa I will be required to purchase 2.55 credits and Marvista at La Costa II qualifies for in-lieu fees as the tentative parcel map has less than 7 units. 6. Description of On-site Project Constraints: The project of 3+ acres offers very little opportunity to provide on-site affordable housing. The project is surrounded by existing housing and fully developed street system. There are 4 private cul-de-sacs with 4 to 6 units in each one. A private park will be provided to the residences of Marvista I & II. A homeowners association will maintain the private park, slopes and front yards.

P.01 City of Carlsbad Planning Department May 29, 1997 Mr. Scott Redsun Avalon Homes Suite 370 26440 La Alameda Mission Viejo, CA 92691 SUBJECT: MARVISTA - PUD 97-05/CT 97-08 Thank you for applying for Land Use Permits in the City of Carlsbad. The Planning Department has reviewed your Planned Unit Development and Carlsbad Tract Map, application, nos. PUD 97-05 and CT 97-08, respectively, as to its completeness for processing. The application is incomplete, as submitted. Attached are two lists. The first list is information which must be submitted to complete your application. This list of items must be submitted directly to your staff planner by appointment. All list items must be submitted simultaneously and a copy of this list must be included with your submittals. No processing of your application can occur until the application is determined to be complete. The second list is issues of concern to staff. When all required materials are submitted the City has 30 days to make a determination of completeness. If the application is determined to be complete, processing for a decision on the application will be initiated. In addition, please note that you have six months from the date the application was initially filed, April 30, 1997, to either resubmit the application or submit the required information. Failure to resubmit the application or to submit the materials necessary to determine your application complete shall be deemed to constitute withdrawal of the application. If an application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, a new application must be submitted. Please contact your staff planner, Principal Planner Dennis Turner, at (760) 438-1161, extension 4443, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application.

Disclosure Statement MARVISTA - PUD 97-05/^97-08 MAY 29, 1997 PAGE 3 LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION Planning: 1. Site Plan - Indicate the gross acreage of the site, not your estimate of the net. 2. Site Plan - Density calculation. A slope analysis is needed to determine what portion of the slope at the rear of the property may be utilized in density calculations. Slopes of 0 -25% gradient may be included; slopes exceeding 25%, up to 40% gradient may be included at 50% of the area; slopes exceeding 40% cannot be included. The revised acreage should be shown on the plan as the net acreage. Use this to re-calculate the project density and include in all tables giving this information. 3. Site Plan/Landscape Plan - Provide a description characterizing the vegetation on the slope on the rear of the property. A formal biological reconnaissance is NOT required, (ex: "mixed native and non-native shrubs and grasses on manufactured slope"). 4. Site Plan - Provide additional dimensioning information per notes on redlined copy of plan (enclosed). Pay especial attention to a) the minimum front setback requirements for garages (20 feet), b) buildings - including covered porches (5 feet), and c) the lot frontages (25 feet on the cul-de sac [see lots 2, 5,11, 9, and 16] and 40 feet for others). Measure set-backs between buildings and lot lines at the narrowest point (a couple of building sides and lot lines are not parallel!). NOTE: A few spots on the plan do not appear to scale out as indicated (See also: "issue of concern" no. 3). Also, more clearly delineate and number the seven required guest parking spaces. 5. Site Plan - Lot lines are not clearly marked. In particular, clarify the lot lines between lots "A" and "6". Into what lots are the RV storage area, the active recreation area, and the landscape area at the end of the drive apron to lot "6" included? 6. Site Plan - You must provide a minimum of 15 x 15 feet individual recreation area with each lot. The easiest way to demonstrate compliance is to show on the site plan a correctly dimensioned box in each lot's rear yard . 7. Site Plan - Private easements - The rear slope will have two easements placed over it: One to designate open space (no development) and a second to assign to the HOA the responsibility to maintain the slope. These easements should be delineated on the plan. Exact wording for these easements will be provided with project conditions. The maintenance responsibility should also be indicated on the landscaping exhibits (see point 13). MARVISTA - PUD 97-057(^97-08 MAY 29, 1997 PAGE4 8. Site Plan - You are required to provide "lighting adequate for pedestrian and vehicular safety and sufficient to minimize security problems..." The plan does not show such lighting. Please provide a site lighting plan (this can be shown on the landscape exhibits). 9. Site Plan - RV storage. Please dimension the RV space and place a note in the legend about the total area. The RV area needs to be screened on all sides, with special attention to lot 6. Please indicate means of screening (however, see "issue of concern" no. 1). 10. Site Plan - Common or individual enclosed storage space in the amount of 480 cubic feet per unit is required. In a SF project it is common to provide this in the individual garages. If this is your solution, please indicate shelving or closets on the building floor plans. Storage space may not intrude into the required parking area, however. Cupboards on the rear wall, above the noses of vehicles, may be acceptable if a full-sized van can be parked without interference. 11. Site Plan - Show all fire hydrants within 300 feet of the site. 12. Landscape Plans - Provide the required estimate of yearly irrigation (supplemental) water required to maintain each zone. 13. Landscape Plans - Provide required information on maintenance responsibility (see also point 6). 14. Building Elevations - See point 9. 15. Council Policy 44 (Small-Lot Architectural Guidelines) - Please submit exhibits to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of these guidelines. As your planner advised over the phone and by fax, the proposed units do not appear to meet all of the required criteria, in particular the rear elevations. You should submit dimensioned plans to show the several off-set wall-planes and roof-lines which are required by the Council Policy. You may use the floor plans to show the wall- plane dimensions and the elevations to show the roof-line dimensions. A summary table, by unit type, would be helpful. 16. Materials palette - Submit the required materials board and color samples described in the application instructions. 17. "Notice of Time Limits" - Your submittal is missing the signed form (NCR paper, half sheet, one paragraph, headed "Please Note:"). A blank form is enclosed for you to complete and return with your re-submittal. MARVISTA - PUD 97-05/^97-08 MAY 29, 1997 PAGES x^ 18. Property Owners List, Mail Labels, and Radius Map - It is too early to provide these materials, so they are being returned. Please review the application instructions for this submittal. State law requires that notices for hearings be based upon the latest equalized assessment rolls from the San Diego County Assessor's Office. Because the rolls change over time we do not accept these materials until a project is tentatively scheduled for hearing. You will be contacted when your project is tentatively scheduled, and this will not occur until after the environmental review is completed. At that time you will need to submit updated labels, map, and the owners' lists, together with a statement certifying that the information is from the latest equalized assessment rolls. V- 19. Public Facilities Fee Agreement - As discussed on the phone, the signatures of Real Estate Collateral Management Company must include the notarized signature of the company's secretary or assistant secretary. Alternatively, provide documentation from the firm's articles of incorporation or by-laws that demonstrate that the two vice president's who have signed are legally empowered to bind the firm in this agreement. . >(? 20. j Disclosure statement - Provide names and addresses of principal officers of Real — Estate Collateral Management Company. This can be a supplement to the current submittal (enclosed). 21. A copy of the city's application form and instructions is provided for your information. Engineering: ^ 1. Lot lines and approximate dimensions of each lot. _ 2. Setback dimensions for the required front, rear, and side yard setbacks for all structures. ^ 3. Total building coverage for all lots with proposed structures. ^ 4. Show distance between driveways, and show location of existing driveways on the opposite side of Unicornio Street. 7 5. For the RV parking area, show parking stall dimensions and plot a 42' turning radius to demonstrate that an RV can safely maneuver into the parking stall. /• 6. Show all fire hydrants within 300 feet of the site. ^ 7. Plot a typical lot drainage detail for all building plans, and not just type 1. MARVISTA - PUD 97-05/0^7-08 MAY 29, 1997 PAGE 6 ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1 • The locations of the proposed active recreation and RV storage areas in such close proximity to the front entrance and living area of the unit on lot 6 create significant visual and potential noise impacts for residents of this unit. In addition, the recreation area is not located centrally to the site-as-a-whole. Further, the walls at the corner of Unicornio Street and the western-most driveway cannot exceed 42 inches in height (due to requirements to provide safe visual clearance for emerging cars. [See Municipal Code Section 21.46.100]). We also have concerns about the ability of a 42-inch wall to prevent basketballs from bouncing into the street. For these reasons staff will not be able to support the recreation and RV storage areas as proposed. A better solution would move the recreation area towards the middle module of homes, as was discussed in preliminary reviews. It is not necessary to place both areas in the same location, although you may do so. Techniques to add both visual and noise buffering should include: increased spatial separation from living units; walls or other screening materials (including landscape plantings); and placing either or both of the areas to the sides or rears of dwelling units. 2. Fence, Wall, and Maintenance Plan - ^, a. Under Carlsbad's definitions (Municipal Code Section 21.04.240), the front yard of corner lots is the narrower of the two street frontages, without regard to building orientation. Therefore, the front yard of lots 1, 6, 12, 13, and 17 is the frontage on Unicornio Street. No wall, fence, or hedge over 42 inches in height is allowed in any required front yard set back (see also Issue 1). All of the proposed 6-foot fences within the front yards of these lots must be reduced to the allowed height. b. On lots 12, and 17, the 6-foot fences shown along the northerly lot lines ^ cannot extend to the entrance drive as shown, due to line-of-sight issues with the adjacent garage aprons. You should pull them back to the fence line enclosing the "back yards". ^. c. Please clarify what is meant by "metal fencing" in notes 1, 5, and 9. Is this chain link or wrought iron or...? ^ d. Re: Fence note 6. Please note that the combined height of retaining walls and fences in a required set-back may not exceed 6.0 feet. 3. The building side elevations turned towards Unicornio Street should exhibit architectural features commensurate with that used on the front elevations. There are two unit plans, 1 and 2, and two corresponding sets of elevation MARVISTA - PUD 97-057(^97-08 MAY 29, 1997 PAGE? drawings. However, "A", "B", "Reversed A", and "Reversed B" variations of each these plans are indicated on the map. The building elevations show a single enhanced side, one that would be consistent with this recommendation. However, the plan variations indicated on the map make it impossible to determine that the sides facing Unicornio will always use the enhanced elevation. Please a) find a method to more clearly demonstrate that the enhanced elevations will be used on each lot facing Unicornio, or b) (better still) consider enhancing both side elevations of all units. 4. This site plan exhibits extraordinarily "tight" set-backs. Most of your setbacks are minimum all across the property. It appears little allowance is being provided for the often real-world spatial differences that exist between what is drawn and what occurs in the field. You are urged to consider erring on the conservative side when drawing (and dimensioning) your plans so as to provide some degree of "give" during construction. All plan callout dimensions must actually scale out. All required setbacks must be evidenced in the final construction. Enclosed are red-lined, annotated copies of your exhibits (tentative map/site plan and the fence/wall plan). Please review these exhibits as part of the above comments. Please return these exhibits to the Planning Department with your re-submittal. Engineering: Potential issues of concern to the Engineering Department are still being considered. A follow-up to this letter, setting out any such issues, will be provided to you at a later date. If you have any questions in the interim please contact the Engineering Department (Ken Quon) at 438-1161, ext. 4380.
