Branciforte Brand's Cafe Dolce 2913 State St. Carlsbad, CA 92008 RE: Sidewalk Tables and Chairs (RP 98-10) Dear Ms. Branciforte: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the processing of the pennit for the placement of tables and chairs on the public sidewalk adjacent to your restaurant was never completed. While this has in no way affected your ability to use the outdoor tables and chairs in conjunction with your restaurant, there is the potential for it to affect the on- going use of the outdoor dining area. Therefore, the Housing & Redevelopment Department is committed to providing as much assistance as possible to aid in the completion of the permit process for the benefit of all parties involved. To assist you in the final completion of the permit process, Linda Holmes, a recent addition to our staff, has been assigned the task of working with you to complete the application process. Within the next few weeks she will be contacting you to schedule a site visit and discuss any additional information needed to complete the approval process for your application. Please accept our apology for the lengthy delay in getting your permit application for sidewalk table and chairs processed. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in completing this process. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please call Linda at (760) 434-2812. Sincerely, Lori Rosenstein Management Analyst LR:LH 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.

At this time, the application and payment for related fees is being retumed to you for further action. Once you have provided the additional information requested, you must resubmit your application at the Community Development Department located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive. Please note that you are not to submit your application to the Housing and Redevelopment Department. Your application and fees must be submitted to the Community Development counter located at 2075 Las Palmas Drive. A facility finder is enclosed for your use. Supplemental information which includes a site plan must accompany the completed application. The site plan must be drawn to scale and must provide the information requested within the application checklist (see attached). The site plan submitted with your completed application does not provide the information requested within the application. Please prepare a new site plan which provides the following information: • Name and address of applicant and business. • Location and dimension of tables and chairs. • Sidewalk Dimensions. • Location of existing trees, planters, and/or other enclosures. Include location of enclosure for Caldo Pomodoro Restaurant, with distance noted between enclosure and first chair for Branci's. Please note that when the chair is pulled out from the tables, there must be a five foot clear sidewalk area between the enclosure and the chair back. • Location and dimensions of business building, including locations of, and dimensions of, entrances and exits to and from the building. • A summary chart which includes the number of tables and chairs to be located inside the business establishment, in the courtyard area, and on the public sidewalk area. • North arrow and scale for plans (i.e., 1" = 10'). 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.

Please note that all of this information can be provided on a one page site plan. However, it must be detailed with dimensions noted for all features. To assist you in preparing the required site plan, I have enclosed a copy ofthe site plan that was submitted for the Caldo Pomodoro. This copy of the site plan will hopefully help you to understand the type of information required to be included on your site plan for Branci's. If you wish to use photographs to represent the building elevations and location and type of tables and chairs, these photographs need to be much larger and much more clear than those provided within your original application. Please provide a photograph of the entire front of the building and provide dimensions of the building frontage. These pictures should be included on your site plan if they are to be used to satisfy the requirement for providing building elevations. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

If the application is not resubmitted within 30 days, your tables and chairs located within the public right-of-way will be subject to removal.

Sincerely, DEBBIE FOUNTAIN Housing and Redevelopment Director • Citv of Carlsbad Housing & Redevelopment Department March 31, 1998 FRAN BRANCIFORTE 7101 PRIMROSE WAY CARLSBAD, CA. 92009 RE: SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS, BRANCI ICE CREAM SHOP, 2913 STATE STREET Dear Fran: As you are aware from your effort to obtain a permit for the sidewalk tables and chairs for the Caldo Pomodoro, there are specific standards for the number of, and placement of, the outdoor tables and chairs. Recently, the Redevelopment Agency received several complaints indicating that the table(s) you are placing on the sidewalk for the ice cream shop are presenting a public sidewalk access problem as a result of the recent installation of the permanent enclosure for Caldo Pomodoro. Therefore, it is requested that you immediately take action to remove the obstacle created by the placement of your table(s) on the sidewalk for the ice cream shop. Also, please review the attached regulations for sidewalk tables and chairs and submit an application for the appropriate permit to allow for the continued placement of tables and chairs on the sidewalk for the Branci Ice Cream Shop. Please remember that the Caldo Pomodoro restaurant may have no tables placed outside the approved enclosure area. If the Caldo provides service to any tables outside the enclosed area, the restaurant will be in violation of its approved permit. In addition, the number of tables and chairs located outside (on private or public property) for the Branci Ice Cream Shop may not exceed the number of tables and chairs located inside the ice cream shop. Please take prompt action to complete the attached application for a permit for the outside tables and chairs for the Branci Ice Cream Shop and return it to my office with the required attachments, which include a site plan for the location ofthe tables and chairs on the sidewalk. If you have any comments or questions regarding this correspondence, please contact my office at (619) 434-2935. rSThjCerely, DEBBIE FOUNTAIN Housing and Redevelopment Director 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (619) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (619) 720-2037 ^ August 20, 2001 Mr. Azzoz Bencheikh 11255 Carmel Creek Rd SanDiego, CA 92130 Dear Mr. Bencheikh: Enclosed please find two forms that must be completed with current information related to the Sidewalk Tables and Chairs at your business, Branci's Cafe Dolce. The original permit for the Sidewalk Table and Chairs was never completed gaining approval of the permit. Please complete the two forms where indicated bv red check marks, and retum them to me as soon as possible. The week of August 6-10, staff visited the site. It appears that only one table is located in the public right-of-way, next to the tree. As long as the table remains two feet away from the curb and allows five feet clear between the table and the building for pedestrian passage, the placement of the table will not create a problem. Please note that you may not have more seating outside the Cafe than inside. On the original application, Ms. Branciforte had noted that there were 14 stools inside. Staff noted that there were a total of 6 tables and 12 chairs outside the Cafe: 5 tables w/2 chairs inside the courtyard and one table w/2 chairs in the public right-of-way. I have also attached information on Sidewalk Cafe Location and Development Criteria and Other Requirements. Since the table and chairs already exist in the public right-of-way, it is imperative that we receive a copv of vour insurance immediatelv, showing that the Citv of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agencv are named as additional insured (See Other Requirements #4). Please fill in the information as requested and retum as soon as possible. Upon receipt of the requested information/items, we will be in a position to final the permit. If, however, you have decided to remove the table and chairs as well as the sign from the public right-of-way, please notify us in writing of that decision so that we may close the file. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, Linda Holmes Management Assistant :LH 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.
