Subject:
REQUEST FOR SEWER ALLOCATION FROM HAWTHORNE MACHINERY CO.
Statement of the Matter
Application is being made by Hawthorne Machinery Co., for an allocation of
2.8 EDUs (750 gallons per day) for a proposed equipment rental facility to
be located at 6127 Paseo del florte (next to ORCO). This' location is within
the coastal zone and obtaining a permit may take considerable time. Approxi-
mately two-thirds of the site is in a flood plain. The development of the
site will require filling in most of the flood plain and an EIR may be
required. The City Council may wish to approve the allocation with a real-
istic time limitation for use of the allocation. If the Council decides to
allocate sewer capacity, a time limit of December 6, 1978 is recommended for
building permit issuance. The existing facility at 2530 State Street uses
approximately 537 gallons per day, or 2.0 EDUs, based on water meter records
during the last 12 months.
The staff has reviewed the proposed development plans and has determined that
the plans will require sewer capacity equaling 2.8 EDUs.
The allocation on May 9, 1978 of 30.1 EDUs to the Koll Company leaves 35.9 EDUs
available in the industrial category. The three requests for sewer allocation
before the City Council on June 7, 1978 do not exceed the capacity available.
There is one other concern in distributing sewer allocation from the "industrial
category." Some uses, such as offices (Koll, Hawthorne Rent It) or leasing
businesses can also be found in commercial zones. Staff has interpreted this
industrial category to include uses that are permissible in the "M" or "PM" •
zones (industrial or planned industrial).
Therefore, the staff recommendation is that the applications presented to the
Council for consideration under the industrial category are proper.

Letter from Hawthorne Machinery Co., dated April 7, 1978.
Recommendation:
If City Council concurs, direct the City Attorney to prepare the' necessary
documents allocating sewer capacity of 2.8 Equivalent Dwelling Units under
the second revision of the First Phase Sewer Allocation System to Hawthorne
Machinery Co., subject to Coastal Commission approval and building permit
issuance by December 6, 1978. • s? ~ ^,>

Re: Parcel 6 PM# 6022 on Paseo del Norte - Development of
Dear Councilmembers:
In connection with the acquisition of subject property and its development,
we respectfully request allocation of three (3) hook-ups to the City's sewer
system.
It is our intent to construct a modern facility to house the equipment rental
operation now at 2530 State Street, Carlsbad. The new facility would be very
similar to one we recently completed in the City of Escondido. Enclosed
photographs of this facility reflect our policy to construct and operate a
facility that will compliment an area.
The attached site plan sets forth our development plans. Three sewer hook-
ups will be required to accomodate six (6) employees with two toilets (est.
water f low = 250 gal. per day) plus one wash rack (est. = 500 gal. per day)
or a total of 750 gal. per day/3,750 gal. per week.
Your consideration and approval will be appreciated.
Yours very truly,
*--
