(I've enclosed page 1107 of Thomas Bros. Map where I have identified a meeting place. Once we have all arrived, we can then drive up to the site which is only another 5 or 10 minutes.) As we discussed on the phone, the Spyglass II Project will be impacting native grasslands which require mitigation. The project will impact 5.15 acres of perennial grassland. The Carlsbad Draft HMP is suggesting a 2-to-l mitigation ratio for these impacts. The potential mitigation site would be 10.3 acres on the westerly portion of the CalTrans parcel in northeast Carlsbad. I am including copies of exhibits that show the proposed mitigation site. These exhibits include a vicinity map, copy of the legal description map for the CalTrans parcel, a copy of the biological resources map for the Carlsbad Highland's property which is now partially owned by CalTrans and a copy of a 1995 photograph where I have superimposed the proposed re-vegetation site. In addition, I am including the list of mitigating measures for the Spyglass property that under number five spell out the need to acquire 10.3 acres of native grasslands within the City of Carlsbad for preservation. Please look everything over, and we look forward to meeting you in the field at 10 A.M. on October 27, 1999. As indicated, I have included a copy of page 1107 of the Thomas Bros. Map indicating to meet at the entrance to the Parkway Nursery just off of El Camino Real and just north of where Aqua Hedionda Creek crosses under El Camino Real at the northerly edge of the Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park. 703 Palomar Rirport Road 4 Suite 300 4 Carlsbad, California 92009 (760)436-3182 FflX (760) 438-0173 Ms. Terry Stewart October 14, 1999 Page 2 If you have any questions prior to our meeting, please give me a call.

Prior to the recordation of the first final tract map or the issuance of building permits, whichever occurs first, the Developer shall prepare and record a Notice that this property may be subject to noise impacts from the proposed or existing Transportation Corridor, in a form meeting the approval of the Planning Director and City Attorney (see Noise Form #1 on file in the Planning Department). 2. Prior to the occupancy of individual units on Lots 1, 2, 6, and 9 through 12, the developer shall construct sound attenuation walls, berms, or a combination of both along the top of the slope and street side yard of these lots, in accordance with the recommendations 'of the project's noise study prepared by Gifoux and Associates, dated May 10,1999. 3. Prior to building permit issuance, an acoustical analysis and subsequent mitigation shall be required for Lots 1-6, Lots 9-12, and Lots 17-19 to ensure that the interior CNEL does not exceed 45 dB. The project's building plans shall include a note on the plan stating the required interior noise mitigation requirements for Lots 1-6, Lots 9-12, and Lots 17-19 per the recommendation of the subsequent noise study. 4. The Developer shall pay his fair share for the "short-term improvements" to the El Camino Real/ Palomar Airport Road intersection prior to the issuance of a grading permit. The amount shall be determined by the methodology ultimately selected by Council, including but not limited to, an increase in the city-wide traffic impact fee; an increased or new Zone 2 LFMP fee; the creation of a fee or assessment district; or incorporation into a Mello-Roos taxing district. 5. Prior to final map or grading permit, the developer shall acquire 10.3 acres of land containing native grasslands within the City of Carlsbad for preservation or the developer may acquire 10.3 acres of land within the City of Carlsbad for the restoration and enhancement of a disturbed area to native grassland. If the restoration option is selected, the developer shall devise a revegetation Concept Plan which will include: 1) the location of the project, 2) developer responsibilities, 3) revegetation contractor responsibilities, 4) ownership status and, 5) present and proposed uses of the mitigation.area. The developer shall also devise an Implementation Plan which will include: 1) timing of revegetation effort, 2) revegetation materials, 3) site preparation, 4) planting plan and, 5) irrigation plan. A Maintenance Plan shall also be devised by the developer and shall be subject to a five year monitoring period and performance criteria as dictated in the revegetation plan. In either case, the mitigation site shall be hi or contiguous to the Habitat Management Plan preserve areas and shall be reviewed and approved by local resource agencies including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. 6. Prior to final map or grading permit, developer shall secure a deminimus permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the impact to the Coastal Sage Scrub. 7. Paleontology: a. Prior to any grading of the project site, a paleontologist shall be retained to perform a walkover survey of the site and to review the grading plans to determine if the proposed grading will impact fossil resources. A copy of the 16 " Rev. 03/28/96 paleontologist's report shall be provided to the Planning Director prior to issuance of a grading permit; b. A qualified paleontologist shall be retained to perform periodic inspections of the site and to salvage exposed fossils. Due to the small nature of some of the fossils present in the geologic strata, it may be necessary to collect matrix samples for laboratory processing through fine screens. The paleontologist shall make periodic reports to the Planning Director during the grading process; c. The paleontologist shall be allowed to divert or direct grading in the area of an exposed fossil in order to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage artifacts; d. All fossils collected shall be donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the San Diego Natural History Museum; e. Any conflicts regarding the role of the paleontologist and the grading activities of the project shall be resolved by the Planning Director and City Engineer.
