DEPARTMENT; PLanning Department City Mgr.
SUBJECT:
Sewer Permit - Industrial Building, 6305 El Camino Real
Applicant: Bernie Gilmore
OP THE BATTER
The second revision of the first phase sewer allocation system places industrial
land uses in the contingency category "81 edu's" provided for industry. Industrial
was placed in the contingency to reserve sewer capacity rather than allocating
fixed amounts immediately as the other land use categories. It was anticipated
that there will be a continuous need for sewer capacity for industrial land uses.
This request is the first application for industrial sewer contingency under the
second revision. This particular building known as building two and 6305 El
Camino Real is presently being planned checked by the building department.
Building permits have been issued for a 3,000 gallon septic system which' would
provide servjce for approximately 12 edu's. The unsuccessull first phase
allocation request would have required 15 edu's.
The site is" on the west side of El Camino Real, north of Camino Vida Roble
within the Palomar Airport Business Park. The applicant represents Palomar
Airport Business Park. However, the property is being offered to the Eaton
Leonard Corporation, which is a manufacturer of mechanical machine tools.
Although the septic system would adequately serve the use intended the pros-
pective buyer does not wish to commit money or move their business from Santa
Ana to this site without full assurances that the sewer system will work.
Therefore, the Eaton Leonard Corporation has requested that the building be
served by City system. Both representatives of Eaton Leonard Corporation and
Palomar Airport Business Park wished to make a presentation to the City Council
on this request. (See attached memo to City Manager regarding policy industrial
sewer hookup).

Re: Application for Approval of City Sewer for Building #2
6305 El Camino Real
Dear Council Members:
The Palomar Airport Business Park has a pending sewer application for the
above building. We have opened escrow with the Eaton Leonard Corporation
to purchase Building 2 upon its completion, provided it can be connected to
the city sewer system.
We would like to present additional documentation if required. We are anxious
that the council schedule a hearing on this subject as soon as possible and
would like to be placed on the March 7, 1978, agenda. At that time, repre-
sentatives of Eaton Leonard Corporation and the writer will be present to
answer any questions that arise.
Very truly yours,
PALOMAR AIRPORT BUSINESS PARK

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 28, 1978
TO: Paul Bussey, City Manager
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Policy Sewer v. Septic Industrial Properties.
During the adoption of the second revision of the first phase sewer
allocation, the matter of septics v. sewer was discussed as pertain-
ing to industrial lands. The concern was, should the City issue sewer
permits on property that could be serviced by a septic system. For
example, many of the properties at the Palomar Airport Business Park
can be serviced by septic system. However, the City Council has not
indicated how the industrial classification of sewer capacity will be
a I Iocated.
To maximize the industrial development it may be the policy to allocate
sewer hookups for industrial properties only if it can be proved that
the property or use cannot be serviced by a septic system. If this
was the desire of the City, then the means to make such determination
would be to require at the time of request for sewer hookup, a letter
from the County Health Department indicating that septic system would
not work for the property or use. At this time there is no method to
determine how much property or types of uses that would fail to meet
septic system standards. There are some properties on the east side
of El Camino Real, (County Shredding and Beckman Instruments) where
septic tests have failed.
The Council may wish to deal with such proposals on a case by case
basis or in conjunction with the existing allocation rating system
requiring a minimum point total for submittal.
Recommendation
The Council as a whole or in conjunction with the Council Sewer Committee
should set some policy guidelines for processing industrial sewer
capac ity.
