Unfortimately, I feel that placing a fifteen (15) foot wide home, (outside measurement) on a twenty five (25) foot wide lot is just too narrow a structure to live in comfortably. Even a fifteen and one half (15.5) foot home is too narrow but would proceed with a modular home if the City of Carlsbad would allow it. To date, I have invested over $7000.00 and lots of time, hope and energy in trying to move forward with the redevelopment of my property. As you stated in our telephone conversation yesterday, the City of Carlsbad is not going to provide me with a variance to reduce the side setback from five (5) feet. Therefore, at this time I reluctantly, will not be proceeding with processing my application. Perhaps, I may attempt to redevelop this property at a future date. Cliff, pursuant to our telephone conversation yesterday, please refimd my application fee to me. Please make check out to Joel Ureta and mail to 3280 Roosevelt Street. Should you have any ideas in the future on how to develop this narrow lot, I am open to suggestions. Thank you for your time and efforts pertaining to this matter. Cordially, Joel Ureta 760 535 6240 Citv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department June 23, 2005 HAROLD CURRY PLANNING-DESIGN 3197 JAMES DRIVE CARLSBAD, CA 92008 SUBJECT: URETA SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE (RP03-02) The above referenced application has been on file for well over two years (February 26, 2003 to June 23, 2005). Notification was given on March 2, 2005 that the application was complete, along with a list of issues of concern that needed to be addressed in order to complete the review of the proposed project (attached). To date, our office has not received any correspondence addressing the issues. A decision will be needed within the next thirty (30) days to determine if you wish to proceed with the processing of the application. If you wish to proceed, please provide the information requested in the attached letter that was previously sent to you on March 2, 2005. Failure to resubmit the necessary plans addressing the issues by July 23, 2005, 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 If an application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, a new application must be submitted.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 my office at (760) 434-2813 if you have any questions and/or wish to apply for a refund of any unused fees.

After receiving your letter dated January 25, 2005 I decided to call you on the phone instead of sending a written response detailing the same issues of concern as the letter previously sent. In our phone discussion on January 28, 2005, I explained to you that staff could support a variance for the garage to encroach into the side yard setback, since garages are required to be a minimum of 20'x20' and the strict application of the code requiring a 20' wide garage and 5' side yard setbacks would deprive the subject property, which is 25 feet wide, of having a garage. I then further explained to you that the residence, however, would not be able to encroach into the side yard setback simply because the applicant wished to have a larger residence. I explained to you that staff was not convinced that the strict application of the zone regulation (VR, District 5) requiring ali new development to have a 5' side yard setback deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties which developed under the same zone regulation. I explained that all new development would be required to have the minimum 5' side yard setbacks. Towards the end of our phone discussion on January 28, 2005, you informed me that you would speak with the property owner to see if he/she wished to proceed with the application and propose a residence that meets the required setbacks or wished to withdraw the application. Between January 29, 2005 and up until your letter dated February 21, 2005, staff did not have any correspondence with you, the applicant, or the property owner and assumed that you were discussing staff's issues of concern with the property owner. As you have requested, attached to this letter are the issues of concern raised by various City Departments following a review of your letter dated January 25, 2005 for the above-mentioned project application. These issues must be addressed prior to staff making a formal recommendation on the project. Please contact my office at (760) 434-2813, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application.

HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT: 1. As mentioned previously, a variance is required to reduce the side yard setbacks to less than five (5) feet and staff is required to have sufficient evidence to warrant issuance of a variance. In particular staff and the City Attorney must be convinced that because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, the strict application of the zone regulation deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification (please refer to the variance findings attached). Since the municipal code requires for garages to be a minimum size of 20' x 20' staff is able to support a variance for the garage since strict application of the 5' setback in this case would result in a garage that is less than 20' wide and would deprive the property owner of a garage that is safe for use. However staff cannot support the side yard building setback at less than 5' simply because the applicant wishes to have a larger manufactured home on site. It is the burden of the applicant to demonstrate why the house cannot be built at the required 5' setbacks. Staff at this time is not convinced that the strict application of the zone regulation (VR, District 5) requiring all new development to have a 5' side yard setback deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties which developed under the same zone regulation. Please provide a written letter with justification to grant the requested variance. 2. As mentioned previously, staff requests a sample of what the proposed manufactured home looks like. Staff is unable to make a determination that the proposed manufactured home meets the standards set forth under the Village Design Guidelines with the black and white drafted plans provided. Staff requests a color sample of the proposed manufactured home before a recommendation for approval can be made. For questions regarding Housing & Redevelopment Department comments, please contact Cliff Jones at 760-434-2813. ENGINEERING: 1. Items a&b mentioned in previous correspondence have still not been adequately addressed. The plans indicate that there is a 3 foot fall from the rear of the property to the front of the property which is incorrect. A field investigation conducted on Dec. 29, 2004, after the heavy rains, revealed a pond of standing water at the rear of the property by the ally. The investigation also revealed the front of the property by Roosevelt Street is completely flat. As such, this lot, as it currently stands, does not drain properly. The applicant must thoroughly and adequately address this issue before Engineering wili approve this development. It appears that a soils engineer Is need for overall site drainage as well as the proposed building being placed only 3' from property line. 2. On the site plan, please include the following information: (Note: These issues were raised in our last correspondence.) a. Show existing and proposed topography/spot elevations within and adjacent to the site. This item is critical because the lot is very flat and Engineering will need to assure that the lot drains appropriately. b. Show drainage patterns (existing and proposed) on the site. (A soils engineer recommendation/approval is required for the buildings to be located 3 feet from property line instead of the required 5 feet). If you have any questions regarding engineering issues, please contact Joanne Juchniewicz in the Engineering Department at 760-602-2775. m FEB 28 P 12^ OU HAROLD CURRY Carlsbad, CA. 92008 760/729-8933 February 21, 2005 CityofCarlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Department 2965 Roosevelt St. Suite B Carlsbad, CA. 92008-2389 Att: CliffJones Re: Ureta Single Family Residence-3280 Roosevelt (RP-03-02) On January 25, 2005, a detailed response to your Issues of Concem of January 11, 2005 was submitted to you.

Special circumstances are obviously applicable to the subject property begiiming with the fact that with only a 25' width, it is impossible to conform with 5' side yard set backs and attempt to follow design guidelines at the same time. For instance, if 5' side yard is attempted, (only 4-6" available on other side ) the side walls of proposed residence would, by necessity, have to be straight from fi^ont to back. This is in conflict with your guide lines wherein broken lines are preferable for more pleasing appearance and therein is the reason that the proposed design has offset side lines from floor to roof. Which is more acceptable?? Side yards or straight building lines. On the title sheet of the originally submitted Plans, on the lower left side, all of properties adjacent to the subject property and on the entire block of Roosevelt St. are listed and shown to be non - conforming as to set backs. These facts are directly related to the subject property being deprived of privileges ofthe entire block. ( similar non-conformance to zoning regulations is further existing in the area surrounding the block referred to) The requested variance will not create a grant of special privileges inconsistant with the side yards of the entire adjacent block of properties as each and every adjacent property exists with non-conforming side yards ranging from less than 5* to zero lot line location of structures. The existing residence on the subject property has zero side yards, being built on the property side lines. It is again obvious that the proposed new residence would create a substantial improvement with proposed side yards. It appears further that the proposed variance is not in conflict with the intentions of Sec. 21.35.130 (a), (b), (c), & (d) as well as the fact that variances are permitted when special circumstances exist. Relative to the garage width, it was originally designed to conform with a 21* width. This can be reduced to 20' width with a 5' side yard on the north side. The garage size is not related to the building size, nor is the size of the proposed manufactured home arbitrarily preferred by the applicant. The standard size of the chosen manufactured home is the only one available with a 15'-6" width. None are available with a width less than 15-6". Any deviation will increase costs and defeat applicant's intentions of creating a family affordable home. The impossibility of adherring to both side yards of 5' and following your design guidelines is repeated while incorporating affordable and available manufactured housing on the subject property being only 25' wide. Further, it is abundantly clear that any attempt to construct a new stmcture in the deteriating subject neighborhood would be an improvement over the existing established non-conforming stmctures. 2. You were previously given enlarged copies of the Engineered Plans available from the manufacturer, Silvercrest. The only previous request relative to any colored plan set forth a time for submittal following notification of a scheduled hearing date, which has not yet occurred. It is difficult to imderstand the need for colored plans when none have ever been made required over the preceding years in relative plaiming involvements with Cities from Los Angeles to San Diego and even the Califomia Coasta Commision. All previous approvals and actual constmction involvement of more than 2,500 residences further were never subject to more than normal drafting and printing of plans. Therefore, a more precise discription of your colored requirements is asked for at this time. ENGINEERING 1. The statement that the original ground elevations are incorrect is insulting. Following the initial elevations revealing more than a 2% grade difference, further investigation was not pursued since the fact being that 2% has been a standard accepted for years. In this case, not only is the 2% difference existing front to back, but also side to side. In spite of the foregoing, further elevations were recorded with reliable transit instrumentation and the results are shown herewith on site and each adjoining side. As a matter of standard practice, it was originally anticipated that a slight swale would be constmcted as shown wherein 2% is noted on the site Plan. The minimal grading can notbe accomplished until demolition and constmction. It must be noted also that there was not any noted nor reported damages from the recent excessive rains in the neighhood. A fonnal investigation by a soils Engineer cannot expand upon known facts at this time. The appropriate time would follow existing demolition. 2. The spot elevations submitted herewith will be placed upon the Site Plan. The (hrainage pattems are previously addressed. Again, any soils reports and recommendations are not complete until actual footings are excavated with approval for foundation constmction. It appears that a meeting may be necessary at this time following your review of the preceding. Kindly advise of suitable time and place. Harold Curry cc: file 1/ P.S.

ENGINEERING: Staft has conducted a review of the project for engineering issues of concern. The following engineering issues must be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staft making a determination on the proposed project: (Note: These issues were raised in our last correspondence, but were not included in the revised plans.) 1. On the site plan, please include the following information: a. Show existing and proposed topography/spot elevations within and adjacent to the site.

CA 92008 MRS JANE SMITH APTS 123 MAGNOLIA AVE CARLSBAD CA 92008 Fire: Fire Department issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staff making a determination on the proposed project are as follows: Fire Protection Services staff is concerned with our ability to access the proposed second residence in a timely and expeditious manner. The proposed site does not allow pedestrian access on either side only from the frontage (through the primary residence) or from the alley (which is a non-conforming Fire Lane). The Fire Code specifically addresses those buildings (including homes) built in excess of 150 linear feet from the nearest Fire Department access. This proposed addition does not fall into that category. However, the fact that the Fire Department would have to enter one building to reach another is a situation that causes concern on many levels. One method to reduce some of these concerns is that the Fire Department may require an Automatic Fire Sprinkler system to be installed; this should address the 'fire' concern. The next issue would be in the event of a medical emergency; our timely access could be substantially compromised if adequate clear access is not provided. Lastly, the plans should indicate the required 1 -Hour separation between the R-3 (residence) and the U occupancy (garage), this requirement UBC 302.4 Exception. 3, requires Type X. 5/8 inch drywall each side to achieve the 1-Hr rating. To discuss all Fire Department related concerns, please contact Deputy Fire Marshal Gregory Ryan at (760) 602-4663.
