The November 18, 1976, meeting .of the Children Library committee reviewed several possible sites and decided to recommend site #4. Since land acquisition is involved it is felt that council discussion and direction is advisable prior to formal recommendation of the Site #4 location. Staff review of the #4 site plans resulted in a suggested rnodifica which involves the entire civic center needs rather than just the Childrenk Library. It is staff's recommendation that, if acquisit of Mrs. Laws' property is considered, the adjoining parcel between Yrs. Laws' and Elm Avenue also be acquired. This would allow the formation of an R-1 zone fronting on Highland, eliminate a private owned strip of land which would be very difficult to develop and provide more flexibilify in locating the Children's Library and at the same time allow us to meet existing but unfulfi.lled parking needs. Exhibits A. Staff Report B. Proposed Site Plans C. Suggested staff modification to site plan #4 Recommendation No formal action required but it is requested that Ci-ky Council consider the proposed site plans and give the Childrens Library committee direction. Council action 1-18-77 The Council accepted in concept Site Plan #4. - w January 4, 1976 MEMORANDUM TO : Public Works Administrator FROM: Civil Engineering Associate SUBJECT: Childrens Library - Consultants Study On November 18, 1976, the library consultant, Melvin Thoryk and Associates, presented working paper No. 2 entitled ''Site Studies' The Childrens Library committee after reviewing the sites agreed that Site No. 4 was the most logical for development of a Childre Library. City staff (Engineering and Planning) reviewed Site No. 4 and concurred with the committee's recommendation except for a supplemental recommendation to purchase additional land. The reasons for staff recommendation are: 1. Protection of residential development along Highland Drive. 2. Elimination of a narrow strip of land on Elm which would be difficult to develop. 3. Allow more area for site development and meeting parking needs of existing adult library as well as the childrens library. 17 ( /:-A Jqe Spano Civil Engineering Associate JS/w Exhibit A uzI3 D ;D ;z ZO” 0”; R-l -0 123 m< r- E D < rn 71 x m 0 z z m z --- v -. .-- - 5 5 z - -..- i- ----7---- -_- I3 am mx x=! zz mo Or 8m 8G z g 3a XI+ c"$ x8 zx g2 om m K r D < rn 7 T 50 m 0 z z m z . - . .___ .--Q-.- - ..- - 5 5 z J r---7---- ___ _____ .- - - Septmber 17, 1976 Melvin, Thoryk & Associates 1660 Coast Boulevard Del Mar, California 92014 We are enclosing tha original agreement between the City of Carlrbad and Melvin-Thoryk for Architectural Services fn connectton with a proposed Children's Lfbraryl also enclotad is a copy of Resolution #4003, authorizfng the Mayor to execute the agreement and a copy of the agree- ment which you may retain for your fllss. to thu City Clerk's Office.
