RE: 560 CARLSBAO VILLAGE DRIVE (ROOSEVELT CENTER); CT 08-05
Dear Mr. Woolsev:
Thank you for your letter dated March 18, 2009 regarding the tentative map approval for the Roosevelt
Center development at 560 Carisbad Village Drive In Carisbad. As you Indicated, at the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission meeting on March 17, 2009 there was some concern expressed about a
single master water meter and sub-meters and the impact It might have on future owners. The concern,
as I understand it, was related to the potential for one or more owners to refuse or not be able to pay
his/her water bill and then the obligation for that cost falling on the other owners to ensure continuous
water service. A request was made by the Commission for staff to research and provide information on
other condominium projects in Carisbad that have had a similar water service/meter arrangements and
share the owner collection/payment experiences to date. Staff is currently researching this information
and will present its findings to the Commission when the tentative map for your project is considered
again on April 7, 2009.
Although an inquiry was made by the Commission as to whether or not, as the developer, you were
aware of the requirement for separate water meters for a condominium and now were attempting to
work around the requirement by requesting the subject tentative map approval during construction of
the project, it is my personal belief that the motivation for, or timing of, your request is no longer a
concern or issue among the Commission. As you are aware, Engineering staff confirmed its support for
the master water meter and sub-meters with conditions noted in a letter to you dated November 25,
2008. This information was shared with the Commission during the hearing. However, because the
separate water meters was indicated as a condition of approval for a future tentative map in your
original project approval, the City Attorney indicated that only the Commission, not staff, was
authorized to change the condition and now allow the master meter rather than individual water
meters. The Commission is considering your request. However, it requested additional information on
operational matters related to the water meters before taking action.
To ensure that the Commission has all relevant information on this matter, I will share your letter with
the Commission members which Indicates that your request Is based only on limited physical space
within the alley to provide 10 individual water meters and the poor economic conditions which are
demanding flexibility In your ability to rent or sell the restaurant, retail, office and/or residential units
within your development. 1 will also provide them with a copy of the Engineering Staff letter outlining Its
conditions for support ofthe single master water meter with sub-meters.

Re: 560 Carlsbad Village Drive (Roosevelt Center) Track Map Approval
Ms. Debbie Fountain:
As you observed yesterday evening at the City Council and Housing and redevelopment
Commission Meeting ( AB # 19,749), there was concem over ownership utilizing one
city water meter along with individual tenant meters for reason of working around the
typical system. As expressed in the design review board meeting and again yesterday
evening in the City Counsel meeting, there could be nothing further from the truth. The
reasons are:l)To give the project versatility do to the crash in the economic conditions
and, 2)Physical space within the alley prohibited multiple water meters.
It is the intent of the ownership to maintain a minimum of 51 % of the real estate and
operate and be responsible for the HOA which will be billed and pay the monthly water
usage bills.
Please respond to this letter with any assistance or information necessary to help get the
track map approved at the next scheduled City Council Meeting. Last night's City
Council deferment of this issue could possibly result in our ability to sell the restaurant
element and rent the associated retail store which would create financial disaster to this
project.
Thank You for your assistance and timely response.
Richard A. Wdolse;!
