RE: COMPLETENESS REVIEW AND I NT IA L ISSUES STATEMENT
CT 99-20 PUD 99-09 PIP 99-03 CARLSBAD AIRPORT CENTER LOT 10
The Engineering Department has completed our review of the above-referenced project for
application completeness and has determined that the application and plans submitted for this
project are incomplete and unsuitable for a complete review.
Additionally, staff has completed a review of the project for Engineering issues. Engineering
issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to scheduling of this project for
a hearing are added to the later part of this correspondence.
INCOMPLETE ITEMS:
1. Building setbacks are not shown on the Site Plan. Although the information is contained
on the Tentative Map, it should also be shown on the Site Plan.
2. Tentative Map, which is being utilized to show preliminary grading and utilities, does not
show topography within 100 feet of the project boundary. Additional topography is needed
on the east and north sides.
3. Bottom of wall elevations are not shown where top of wall elevations are given. Per the
submittal checklist, top and bottom elevations should be shown as a minimum at the ends
and middle of all retaining walls, as well as at the worst case condition.
4. The Tentative Map should include the reference to the certificate of compliance adjusting
the lot line, or delete the old lot line.
5. A hydrology study should be submitted for this project. The study should address pre-
development and post-development runoff and water quality issues (NPDES compliance).
6. It is not clear that the Tentative Map shows all fire hydrants within 300 feet of the project.
7. The Tentative Map does not show the drainage concept in the areas around the proposed
buildings.
8. The Tentative Map does not show the required extension of sewer and water facilities to
serve the proposed project. Check with CMWD for requirements. Tentative Map should
show proposed sewer and water mains, fire hydrants and proposed easements.

Completeness Review and Initial Issues Statement
Page 2 of 2
Note the incomplete items identified above are taken directly from the application
checklist. The corrections should include a review of the checklist to insure a complete
submittal.
ISSUES TO RESOLVE
1. Keystone walls to retain cut slopes require considerable additional grading to construct
due to the installation of geotextiles behind the wall. Depending on the allowable slope of
the backcut, there could be considerable encroachment into the existing 2:1 slope. The
limit of required grading should be reflected on the tentative map, and the preliminary
landscape plan should reflect new landscaping in this area.
2. Much of site drains to what appears to be an existing open concrete ditch. No drainage
easement is reflected on the Tentative Map or the title report indicating that the project has
rights to discharge drainage into this facility.
3. NPDES storm water pollution control plan will be required for this project. We suggest a
maintenance plan and program of prevention be developed instead of just adding a series
of "Fossil Filters" to catch basins. We recommend consideration of vegetation as an
onsite filter and possibly a detention basin to control downstream runoff.
Attached are redlined check prints of the project for the applicant's use. The applicant must
return these check prints with the revised plans to assist staff in our continued review.
If you have any questions, please call me at 941-9500. I am available for meetings at your
convenience.
