RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Both the Planning Staff and Planning Commission recommend that
this application be APPROVED and that the City Attorney be di-
rected to prepare documents APPROVING CT ,81-13/PUD-25, per Plan-
ning Commission Resolution Nos. 1873 and 1874, with the addition
of the following condition:
"The retaining wall required pursuant to condition No.
12 shall be a cribwall acceptable to the Planning Direc-
tor and City Engineer. Landscaping and an irrigation
system shall be installed by the applicant on the crib-
wall subject to the approval of the Parks and Recreation
Department. The landscaping and irrigation system shall
be maintained by the city of Carlsbad. Detailed plans
for the design of the wall and landscaping shall be ap-
proved prior to issuance of building permits for any of
the lots in this project."
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City Council continued this item from its last meeting to
allow the applicant and the planning staff to determine a retain-
ing wall design along Tamarack Avenue. At this meeting, staff
recommended a decorative vertical retaining wall with a 2 foot
planter area to be provided between this wall and any private
perimeter wall. The applicant agreed with this proposed design,
however, during the continuance, staff has considered other al-
ternative designs.
The Planning Director believes that a cribwall would be the most
aesthetic wall design. A cribwall would require the applicant to
give up 3.25 feet of additional property which is 1.25 feet more
than a vertical retaining wall with a 2 foot planter area would
require. The applicant has indicated he is opposed to the crib-
wall design. Exhibits showing the cribwall design will be pre-
sented at the City Council meeting.
