Subject:REQUEST FROM W. BORTELS FOR AN ALLOCATION, OF 3.0 EDUs
SEWER CAPACITY FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY ACADEMY
Statement of the Matter
Mr. Bortels, who is president of the Army and Navy Father's Association, is
requesting approval for a new laundry room at the Army and Navy Academy con
taining four (4) washing machines. The request includes a waiver for sewer
capacity charges. Based, on our sewer ordinance, four washing machines are
3.0 EDUs.
Since the Academy is a private facility, Engineering staff has determined
it should be regarded as a commercial land use rather than a school.
There is no remaining sewer allocation for commercial land use from the
second revision of the first phase sewer allocation.
If the Council so determines, the Academy may be regarded as a community
facility. The 3.0 EDUs may then be a I located -from the 24.9 EDUs remaining
in this account. If granted, the balance would be 21.9 EDUs.
Exhibits
1. Letter from Mr. Bortels dated June 28, 1978
2. Staff memorandum dated July 25, 1978
Recommendation
If Council determines the Army and Navy Acadejny to be a commercial land use
they should act to deny the request. If Council determines the Army and Navy
Academy is a community facility, they should direct the City Attorney to pre-
pare the necessary resolution to allocate 3.0 EDUs to the Academy from the
community facility reserve subject to the payment of $875 per EDU.

The City Council
City of Carlsbad
and
Mr. Paul Bussey, General Manager
Dear Council Members and Mr. Bussey:
I am writing this letter in behalf of the Army and Navy Academy
Fathers' Association (ANAFA), in request for a variance to the
moratorium on additional sewer facilities within the city.
ANAFA would like to build a laundry room on campus at the academy.
Our reasons for such a project are:
1. It will facilitate closer supervision of the youth, as they
will not be leaving the campus to do their laundry.
2. It will reduce water usage at the academy. At the present
time some of the cadets handwash some of their personal laundry
in the bathroom sinks. This entails using far in excess of the
15 to 18 gallons that would be required of a washing machine
for a full load of laundry just to half clean a few pieces of
clothing.
3. It will provide for better sanitary conditions, mainly in re-
spect to cleaner clothes.
Plans for the laundry which consists of four washers and three dryers,
were submitted approximately three weeks ago and were reviewd by
Mr. Flannagan in Engineering. It is his finding that there are no
exceptions that would allow for a variance. It is for this reason that
I am requesting a variance, based mainly on the reduced usage of water,
from the Council.
I would also respectfully request a waiver on the required fees which
would make the project prohibitive for us.
Carlsbad City Council and
Mr. Paul Bussey, Gen. Mgr.
Army and Navy Academy has an enrollment of approximately 330 students
of which roughly 21 are day students. This number will remain fairly
constant due to limited facilities. This request is not based on past
or future growth in the number of enrollments, but solely on the
merit of water conservation, student control and proper sanitation
habits.
Weighing the just cause and the end product of the academy, I am con-
fident that you will give this thoughtful consideration and action.
Respectfully yours,
William C. Bortels
President A.N.A.F.A.
