Holzmiller Planning Director ENGINEERING City of Carlsbad Planning Department DEPARTMENT 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 SUBJECT: PP24(J) - PLAZA CAMINO REAL TRANSIT FACILITY Dear Mr. Holzmiller, Following are our responses to the City's comments, stated in your letter dated November 10, 2000 and on the City's red-lined set of plans : Comments in City's letter dated 11/10/2000 Planning: 1. The parking table was revised to show floor areas for all facilities. Gross leasable area was eliminated. 2. Comments on landscape plan were received and addressed. Please see red- lined copy with P&D responses to comments. Engineering: 1. A new Sheet C5 was prepared by Paller-Roberts Engineering to address this comment regarding Ring Road improvements. Please see attached letter by Paller-Roberts Engineering. 2. In response to your comment regarding meeting NPDES criteria, an Oil Water Separator has been added at the downstream end of the second inlet as a storm water pollution prevention measure for the post construction stage, as shown on sheet C-2. For the construction stage of the project, we have prepared a conceptual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (CSWPPP) with the needed erosion control plan in the appendix and are submitting it herein. 3. The proposed curb inlets are added to sheet C-2 "Preliminary Utility Plan". Connection to existing storm drain system is shown too. Preliminary inlet flowline and invert elevations are provided. 4. Attached is a letter from City of Vista stating that they do not require acquisition of right-of-way permit for their sewer easement in the vicinity of the proposed pedestrian sidewalk. MOUTH COUNTY TSflNSOT 810 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92054 760-967-2828 5. We have been in contact with City Engineering and CMWD staff regarding encroachment into CMWD easement. It was concluded that minimum landscaping (ground cover) with the needed irrigation & electricity will be permitted within the easement. Trees will not be allowed. For the storm drain lines crossing with the water line, an approximately 50 LF removal and replacment of the water line will be needed to provide a minimum 12" clearance between the storm drain and water lines. An encroachment agreement will be processed at final design. 6. Site distance was shown on sheet C-1 "Proposed Improvements Plan" and sheet LS-1 "Landscape Concept Plan". 7. Sheet C-3 "Property Boundary Information Plan" was revised to include the Title Report Number and date. Other items mentioned in the comment were added to the sheet in note 2. Comments on City's red-lined set of plans other than the comments above: Sheet C-1: Warrant calculations were done for the Stop sign on Ring Road. Please see attached memo and calculations prepared by Ron Siecke - P&D Consultants. Based on that memo, we eliminated the stop sign from sheet C-1. On sheet C-5, we added pedestrian crossing signs and markings north and south of the crosswalk along Ring Road. Please contact us if you have any comments or need further clarification of the above.

Prior to a determination being made on the project, the following engineering issues of concern must be adequately resolved/addressed. Engineering Issues of Concern These issue were previously identified as "preliminary issues" for the Bus Transfer Station relocation project in a correspondence to North County Transit District, dated March 23, 1999, and in a "Pavement Analysis Courtesy Review," correspondence to Westfield Shopping Town, dated July 7, 2000. 1. The issue regarding the improved structural section of the existing "ring road" still has not be resolved. Staffs prior correspondence to Westfield indicated that the proposed 'Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix' overlay, in accordance with the Labelle-Marvin Report, was unacceptable to staff and that a new structural section should be designed for the ring road. This new section must extend from the relocated transit facility to the Marron Road/Monroe Street intersection, including portions of the intersection as applicable. Additionally, impacts to the existing surrounding improvements must be looked at regarding any reconstruction of the ring road. For example, the report indicates that "extensive overlay of the loop road may result in having to reconstruct the loop road's easterly curb line." Any reconstruction of this curb line may be a major issue that Westfield has not fully considered. Any reconstruction of curb lines on the loop road may seriously impact the curb returns and curbing on Marron Road, resulting in reconstruction of the existing improvements on Marron Road. As previously requested, a comprehensive design approach must be taken (and submitted) regarding this issue. Please be advised, this is still a major staff issue of concern. Regarding this issue, please do the following: • Show existing and proposed improvements in plan and section view for the ring road and Marron Road. On the ring road typical section indicate the type of street section being proposed, i.e., 6-8" A/C over a 12-15" base, or, PCC structural section (for increased bus traffic); • Indicate in plan view the limits (in width and length) of the reconstructed ring road and Marron Road, and, the Marron Road/Monroe Street intersection; • If reconstruction of the ring road impacts the existing improvements on Marron Road, and, the Marron Road/Monroe Street intersection, then Indicate in plan and section view any modifications to the existing improvements that may be required, i.e., reconstructed curb lines and curb returns, grades, signing and striping, etc. ATO^PP 00-24J: PLAZA CAMINOTWAL BUS TRANSFER STATION RELOCATON COMPLETENESS REVIEW & INITIAL ISSUES STATEMENT 2000 M. GRIM MEMO; NOVEMBER 14, 2000 2. Please be advised, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) criteria must be met. Staff suggests constructing oil separator/filter systems at any bus parking area sumps, and, installing filters at all on-site inlets with a maintenance program included in the CC&R's and/or lease agreements for the project. Please show this suggestion, or something proposed by the applicant, on the "Proposed Improvement Plan," sheet C-1. Please be advised, due to recent legislative action by the San Diego Water Quality Control Board, this is a major staff issue of concern. 3. The "Preliminary Grading Plan," sheet C-4, shows three (3) proposed curb inlets. Please add these inlets to the "Preliminary Utility Plan," sheet C-2 and show how the proposed inlets tie into existing storm drain with inlet elevations (ie's). 4. Please provide documentation from the Vista Sanitation District that they are aware of and approve the proposed construction of the concrete walkway over an existing sewer easement. 5. Please be advised, at a minimum, an encroachment agreement may have to be processed, and may be a Condition of Approval for the project, for the construction of the transfer facility over the existing Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) water line. Staff will contact CMWD staff to determine if this approach is acceptable, or, if relocation of the water line may be required. 6. Thank you for showing the Caltrans sight distance at the intersection of the transfer facility with the ring road on the 1" = 100' scale site plan, sheet GN-1. Also show this sight distance on the 1" = 20', "Proposed Improvements Plan," sheet C-1, and on the 1" = 30', "Landscape Concept Plan," sheet LS-1. 7. Thank you for indicating the various easements as identified in Schedule "B" of the Preliminary Title Report (PR). However, there were a number of easements (Schedule "B" Items: 8, 9, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 32, 34, 38, 44 & 45) that were not addressed. These easements may not be applicable to this area of the property and that might be why they were not indicated. These easements do need to be addressed, though. Therefore, if they are not applicable, please designate them that way on the "Property Boundary Information Plan," sheet C-3. Additionally, please indicate the applicable PR (i.e., PR number, and date) that references these Schedule "B" easement items on sheet C-3. If you have any questions, please either see or call me at extension 4388. MICHAEL J.

Thank you for indicating the various easements as identified in Schedule "B" of the Preliminary Title Report (PR). However, there were a number of easements (Schedule "B" Items: 8, 9, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 32, 34, 38, 44 & 45) that were not addressed. These easements may not be applicable to this area of the property and that might be why they were not indicated. These easements do need to be addressed, though. Therefore, if they are not applicable, please designate them that way on the "Property Boundary Information Plan," sheet C-3. Additionally, please indicate the applicable PR (i.e., PR number, and date) that references these Schedule "B" easement items on sheet C-3.
