COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY Department of Sanitation & Flood Control County Operations Center, 5555 Overland Avenue, San Diego, California 92123 Telephone: 565-5325 3 11977 C. J. HOUSON Director SFC: 2200 Mr. Paul D. Bussey City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 SUBJECT: Sewer Service to Palomar Airport We are responding to your letter of 19 July 1977 to David K. Speer, Chief Administrative Officer of the County, concerning possible lease of sewage treatment capacity rights from the Buena Sanitation District to accommodate new development at the County operated Palomar Airport. The Buena Sanitation District (BSD) has limited capacity rights of 0.62 million gallons per day (MGD) in the Encina WPCF. Wastewater flow for the past twelve months averaged 0.42 MGD. Phases I and II of the proposed Shadow Ridge Development plus normal BSD growth over the next two years is anticipated to use all of the remaining capacity rights. The Department of Transportation, Airports Division, in their letter of June 24, 1977 to your office requested that an exception be granted by your City Council to permit issuance of a sewer connection permit for Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. Our County contract with Carlsbad Aviation did pre-date your April 26, 1977 sewer moratorium. Also, a limited amount of sewer capacity will be required consisting of restroom facilities for the use of customers and approximately six employees. In the original drafts of the County /Carlsbad Palomar Airport sewer service agreement the County was granted a 10,000 GPD capacity and the right to make additional connections. This capacity, however, was deleted from the final draft at the request of Carlsbad and a requirement added for issuance of a sewer permit for new connections. In view of the original intent of this agreement and the requirement for additional general aviation service facilities at Palomar we believe the granting of an exception for Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. is fully justified.

Rood Commissioner County Surveyor County Airports June 24, 1977 COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY Bldg 2, 5555 Overland Ave. San Diego. California 92123 Telephone: (714) 565-5177 Mr. Paul D. Bussey City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Carlsbad Sewer Moratorium - Exception for Palomar Airport Project Dear Mr. Bussey: On May 6, 1975 the County of San Diego and the City of Carlsbad entered into an agreement under which the City agreed to provide sewer service to Palomar Airport. On May 9, 1976 the County Board of Supervisors approved an aviation lease agreement at Palomar Airport with Carlsbad Aviation,Inc. (County Contract #10047-R, copy attached). This lease was negotiated under the County's ongoing program to improve facilities and develop sufficient revenues to operate the airport system "in the black". In accordance with lease terms Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. is required to construct a 7,500 sq. ft. maintenance hangar, a 1,500 sq. ft. office building, plus paving, land- scaping and other aircraft service facilities on a 2.829 acre parcel. Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. has encountered several unanticipated organization and financing problems which have prevented start of the required construction to date. County staff and Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. have been working to resolve these problems and it is anticipated that construction under this lease contract can begin in the near future. Carlsbad Aviation, Inc. has paid $9,600 land rent to County to date in anticipation of beneficial use of the property under this lease. Carlsbad Aviation is a franchised dealer for North American Rockwell Aero Commander aircraft. Their development at Palomar will provide additional employment, tax revenue and badly needed general aviation service facilities. Mr. Paul Bussey -2- June 24, 1977 In view of the circumstances and the fact that this County contract predates the April 26, 1977 adoption by the Carlsbad City Council of the Sewer Moratorium, Ordinance #7048, it is requested that an exception be granted by the City Council to permit issuance of a sewer connection permit under the provisions of paragraph 7, Section 1, Ordinance #7048.
