In the existing condition, all of the contributing area storm runoff leaves the site in the natural watercourse at the downstream end of the property. However, in the developed condition, approximately 85% of the storm runoff will be picked up by catch basins and placed in the existing 48" storm drainpipe. The balance of the storm runoff will leave the site in the natural watercourse at the downstream end of the property. Based on the above information, the amount of storm runoff leaving the site in the natural watercourse at the downstream end of the project will be substantially less after development is completed and no detention is necessary.

The Planning Department has reviewed your tentative map, hillside development and coastal development permit, applications no. CT 98-20, HDP 98-22, CDP 98-90 and SDP 99-09 as to their completeness for processing. The items requested from you earlier to make the subject applications complete have been received and reviewed by the Planning Department. It has been determined that the application is now complete for processing. Although the initial processing of your application may have already begun, the technical acceptance date is acknowledged by the date of this communication. Please note that although the application is now considered complete, there may be issues that could be discovered during project review and/or environmental review. Any issues should be resolved prior to scheduling the project for public hearing. In addition, the City may request, in the course of processing the application, that you clarify, amplify, correct, or otherwise, supplement the basic information required for the application. Please contact your staff planner, Anne Hysong, at (760) 438-1161, extension 4477, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerj MICHAEL j. HOUMILLER 1 Planning Director MJH:AH:eh Gary Wayne Adrienne Landers Ken Quon, Project Engineer Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2O75 La Palmas Dr. • Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 • (76O) 438-1161 • FAX (76O) 438-O894 ISSUES OF CONCERN No. CT 98-20/HDP 98-22/CDP 98-90/SDP 99-09 Planning: 1. During an earlier site inspection, it appeared that the structures shown on the map have been removed. Please remove all notes that are no longer relevant. This map must reflect what is being proposed today and should be "cleaned up" so that all information is clear and legible prior to presenting it to the Planning Commission. (See engineering comments below). 2. Please revise the project density to 3.76 du/acre. Density is calculated based on developable area, i.e, excluding 40%+ slopes and one-half of 25% - 40% slopes. The General Plan allows Zone 1 infill subdivisions to exceed the growth control point (3.2 du/acre) if findings can be made. Staff is supportive of the proposed density and findings can be made. 3. Thank you for overlaying the project on the constraints map. However, the original constraints map included a slope analysis which identified the areas of 25 - 40% and 40% + slopes. These must be identified on one map for hillside review. 4. The biological survey must include a map that identifies the locations of small patches of southern mixed chaparral. The survey indicates that they do not exist on 25%+ slopes where preservation would be required. Please have your biologist use the constraints map (with slope analysis) discussed in item 1 to show these locations. 5. The attached disclosure statement should be corrected. According to the disclosure statement, Alex J. Santos is the sole owner of the limited partnership, however, the application is signed by Russell Pogue. These documents have to agree and should be signed by the owner(s). 6. A Habitat Management Plan fee may be imposed against any vacant properties supporting specific habitats including chaparral. The project site contains chaparral habitat; therefore, the map will be conditioned to pay an HMP fee estimated to $3,000 to $5,000 per acre of impacted habitat when the City's adopts the HMP. 7. The proposed second dwelling unit exceeds the maximum area permitted for second dwelling units in the City. The maximum size is 640 square feet while the proposed unit is 760 square feet. Unless the it is reduced in area, the Planning Department would be unable to support the second dwelling unit. 8. Lots 4 and 5 are shown with a terraced pad, however, the floor plan for Plan 3 shown on Lot 5 does npt accommodate the terrace. Please correct. 9. Please respond to the comments on the attached landscape plan and return the red- lined check print with next submittal. Engineering: 1. Please note that the drainage area along the sideyards is to be designed to provide a positive drainage of 2% to swale a minimum 5' away from the face of building. If this is not possible, the applicant's soils engineer must provide a letter indicating their approval of the proposed drainage design. 2. Several section lines are referenced on the plan view of the tentative map but their details are not found on the plans. Please add these details to the plans, especially section C-C. 3. Curb outlets are limited to one per lot, as opposed to Lot 4, which is shown as containing two outlets. 4. Please provide an explanation for providing and for sizing the detention basin, as it does not appear in the hydrology report. If the detention basin is definitely required, the applicant must address how this basin is to be maintained, as the City will not take on this responsibility. 5. Please provide on the tentative map detail drawings of the energy dissipator and of the weir at the detention basin. Fire: 1. .All Structures must be protected by approved automatic fire sprinkler systems due to the inability to conform with the City access and cul-de-sac standards.
