ITEM EXPLANATION During the public comment period at a recent City Counc meeting, concern was expressed to the Council regarding t construction that is underway for a single family home at 28 Highland Drive. The property is an existing, vacant sing family lot. The owner has graded the slightly-sloping lot placing fill (approximately nine feet at the highest point) up which will be placed a two-story home (approximately 27 ft. hi and 4500 sq.ft. in size). Although the construction compli with all the City's existing development standards, staff d attempt to encourage the owner to propose an alternative desi more in keeping with surrounding properties but the owner wish to go forward with the present design. The concern is that t method of construction is incompatible with the surroundi neighborhood. Staff has received written correspondence from a neighbori property owner objecting to the project being exempt fr environmental review. As a result, staff has notified t developer of the home that no additional permits will be issL to complete the project until it goes through complc environmental review (refer to attached letter to property owr dated January 27, 15191). Staff will keep the City Council informed of the ongoing stat of this project. EXHIBITS Staff will keep the City Council inform 1. Letter to property owner dated January 27, 1991 t of Carlsbad r January 27, 1991 Larry G. Doan 725 North Ave. Vista, CA 92083 RE: 2873 Highland Drive (PE 2.89.61) Dear Mr. Doan: The City of Carlsbad has received a formal objection to the issuance of a categorical exemption from environmental review for your project at the above address. Upon further review of the circumstances and in light of the neighborhood concerns, the Citi will be requiring environmental review (i.e., Carlsbad has determined that the project is not categorically exempt form the California Environmental Quality Act-CEQA ). The Planning Department intends to begin processing the environmental review for your project immediately. Until that environmental review i: complete, the City will not be in the position to issue any permits for your project. The City recognizes that you paid environmental review fees with your application for a grading permit. Therefore, at this time, the City will not be requiring additional processing fees. 45 days due to the requirements of CEQA. At the completion of this process, the City will contact you. You should note that the results of the environmental review process could cause modifications in your project to mitigate any potential impacts. If you have any questions regarding the contents of this letter or the City's environmental review process, please contact me. Sincerely, CITY OF CARLSBAD - The processing of the environmental review will take a minimum oj ! \ Michael J.

The formation of a Palomar Advisory Committee will not solve the problem because there is no control over the Federal Aviation Administration. The recent Lindbergh crash hearings both in San Diego and Washington revealed a governmental agency that was in- sensitive and unres9onsive not only to San Diego but to its own employees as well, 'u'nless there is complete local autonomy, which means son8 coatrof over the FAA, no one can honestly predict the future of Palomar Airport, and enlightened prospective residents will sim2l.g play it safe and avoid the area as a place to live. Regarding the sewage treatment plant the LaCosta Homeowners AssociationA-haB made it perfectly clear that they do not want their new plant in their area--they even do not want reactivation of an existing plant, We want to mke it perfectly clear that we don't wa\nt_their plant either. County Water District, and if LaCosta, which is served by Leucadia, wants the additional sewer capacity it will have to live with any resulting inconvenience. e, A The Palomar site is outside the Leucadia Y3d-3al-G L-----7 - - Li 3" -- _- - _-- .- _. - - -- .-*x& $OR, Q. eQl&L &a eu9& Y-/% 2:, 1977 1 ! 1- wn;cL 92008 %' i w !
