RECEIVED - CITIZENS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OLDE CARLSBAD (C.P.O.C.) 2641 VALEWOOD AVEMJE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008 (729-4042) Honorable Bud Lewis, Mayor August 29,1999 Honorable Matt Hall, Councilperson Honorable Ramona Fannila, Councilperson Honorable Julie Nygard, Councilperson Honorable Arm Kulchin, Councilperson 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Honorable Mayor and Councilpersons, - Attached you will find petitions which cover every property in the area of “Olde Carlsbad” bounded by Wilson Street, Forest Avenue, Crest Drive and Buena Vista Way. -- Because we are concerned about city policies which threaten the high quality of life we currently enjoy in our community and neighborhoods, we have formed a group called “Citizens for the Preservation of Olde Carlsbad” ( C.P.O.C.) and are requesting a hearing before the Council on Tuesday, September 28 to discuss your current road improvement policies in residential neighborhoods, specifically the area known as “Olde Carlsbad” which lies west of El Camino Real. More specifically, at that hearing, we are requesting that the Council take the following action: 1. Direct the city staff to draft an emergency ordinance to exempt the area bounded by Wilson Street, Forest Avenue, Crest Drive and Buena Vista Way - from any street widening, street dedications, tree removal, or “future improvement agreements”. 2. Direct staff to study the feasibility of expanding the emergency ordinance to the rest of “Olde Carlsbad”, this area being defined as the area bounded by Buena Vista Lagoon, El Camino Real, Aqua Hedionda Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean (with exceptions as defined in our petition). - 3. Direct staff to prepare a cost/benefits analysis and identify funding sources to properly maintain existing trees within the right-of-way in “Olde Carlsbad”. - I-’ 4. Direct staff to prepare an analysis of the costs and benefits of discontinuing its policy of removing trees within the existing right-of-ways in “Olde Carlsbad”, and instead use alternative methods for risk management such as tree wells, concrete pavers, flexible walking surfaces and grass lined walking surfaces. -. 5. Immediately discontinue all street tree removal until hearings are completed before the Council. ~--.I -; ,qqgqqq.p.$? z-., ,;‘;.s; >~,.~*:-:.F:&z*~:.

C.P.O.C. understands that the City Council has the responsibility to maintain a sound fiscal policy. We also believe that no public official intends to implement policies which harm our community character. We believe that many of the intended/implemented “improvements” made in the last 10 years have resulted in irreparable damage. If such “improvements: continue, the result will be irreparable damage to our community character and quality of life. C.P.O.C. is also submitting for your review significant research to show that urbanization of established residential neighborhoods can result in increased incidents of accidents, increased maintenance costs, increased urban runoff, and reduced property values. In fact, studies show that, ironically, there are 50% fewer severe accidents on narrow, three shrouded “shared streets” than on standard residential streets with curbs and sidewalks. On these “shared streets: the driver perceives that he is entering a zone where the pedestrian has preeminent privileges. C.P.O.C.‘s research has determined that Carlsbad’s policy of urban improvements is one of the most aggressive in the greater San Diego area. We can find no other agency which does not allow any trees in the right of way of new developments, we can find no other agency which requires the installation of 30 foot “half width” improvements for a $50,000 home remodel, and we can find no other agency which has such an aggressive policy of tree removal in established residential neighborhoods. Does Carlsbad want to be a leader in the field of urbanizing established residential neighborhoods or does Carlsbad want to be a leader in preservation? There is precedent in the ordinance proposed. Encinitas has a specific plan area where certain streets will not be widened. The Fallbrook Community Plan allows for developers to waive curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on small lot subdivisions, “Olde De1 Mar” mandates no street widening. Preservation minded cities like Charleston, S.C. and Annapolis, MD are among the leading tourist areas in the country, whereas the Amish area of Pennsylvania is suffering due to sprawling developments with wide streets surrounding old villages. We are confident that your Council will support our recommendations once all of the impacts of your current policies are brought to your attention. We are confident that this Council does not want its legacy to be the Council that destroyed all of Carlsbad’s communitv character and heritage. 0 ‘ta i *A n p-h uaLlcl 92o‘lc.f A I/ 4 f/ -7; 7; 8/J- f 43q-76 e?- I( I\ 724 - 4-3 PQ ’ t / &J- jJS=L. 7$7- J w 7&z+f77/ +a+P71-R3 Lf3yA33 4 PETITION TO CARLSBAD CITY COUNCIL CITIZENS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OLDE CARLSBAD (C.P.O.C.) STREET IMPROVEMENT POLICY -. -. Whereas the City of Carlsbad is implementing an aggressive policy of requiring Urban Type “Improvements”(such as street tree removal; construction of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, paved streets over 24 feet wide; excessive dedications and Future Improvement Agreements) in our “Olde Carlsbad” residential neighborhoodr and... Whereas we, the residents of Carlsbad are concerned with the impact that this policy is having on the character and safety of our “Olde Carlsbad” community... -. -. -. Now therefore, we the undersigned hereby request the Council to adopt an emergency ordinance immediately suspending these requirements and to direct sta$to prepare a City Policy which would discontinue the current requirements for Urban Improvements in the residential areas of “Olde Carlsbad”. This area is defined as the area bounded by Buena Vista Lagoon, El Camino Real, Agua Hedionda Lagoon and the Pactfic Ocean, (excluding the Beach and Redevelopment Areas). The only exceptions to this policy would be as follows: I. Major Roads and Commercial Streets (such as Tamarack and Carlsbad Village Drive). 2. Streets in proximity of schools, churches, parks or other places ofpublic assembly (such as Monroe and Pi0 Pica). 3. Specific areas where these requirements are found to be necessary for public health, safety and welfare. Such findings shall be made only by the City Council at a Public Hearing.

A22 i -. -. ) MODERN cmdnvrd hull A-19 The city of Carlsbad has taken these road standard re- quirements up a notch. For the past few years, Carlsbad has been implementing San Diego County’s most aggressive poli- cy of widening roads in resi- dential areas. Their regulation states that applicants seeking a remodeline uermit where the amount of ti;e’ construction ex- ceeds $50,000 must dedicate land and pay for half of a 36. foot road with curbs, gutters and sidewalks. What does this mean? In the not-toodistant future, all of Carlsbad’s residential roads will be roughly twice as wide as Highland Drive, Skyline Road and Sunnyhill Drive. which coincidentally are three of Carlsbad’s most exclusive sweets to iive on. This ordinance is a mistake on many levels. but the biggest tragedy is the imparable dam- age it will do to Carlsbad’s community character. Al- though certain small areas like “the downtown village” are ex- empt from this ordinance and there is an unwritten waiver on Highland, the area known as “Old Carlsbad” will have to be renamed “The Community Formerly Known as Old Carls- bad” when the roads are com- pleted. Neal Peirce of the National Journal writes that there is an ‘asuhalt rebellion” bubblinn has a new statute that all but repeals these standards. Phoenix is relaxing minimum road width fmm 34 feet to 28 feet and even the American Association of State Hitthway Transportation Officials is dis- cussing modifications. Mark Steele of the San Diego City Planning Commission points our that Portland, Ore.. the darling of smart-growth propo- nents. has gone to 28.foot Sfreelh. According to Michael Southworth and Eran Ben. Joseph, in their book “Streets and the Shaping of Towns and Cities,” a rethinking of subur- ban street standards is needed to create more cohesive, liv. able and energy-efficient corn. munities. This is already taking place in many parts of the San Diego area. The city of San Diego has been meeting to consider revi. sions to its design manual that will reduce street and parkway widths. Solana Beach and De1 Mar have flexible standards in established residential neigh. borhoods. The county is allow. ing 24foot-wide private streets with flexible parking location design in their urban areas and planned developments. Let’s hope Carlsbad and other cities join the asphalt re. bellion before they destmv the character of our communities. Gary Pko of San Marcos is tonne: Chairman of the San &ego Count!

(. . _. ..f.?, . - . . . . -Surveys in I&ael also showed that shared strets foster encounters and _ nmunication between neighbors. Most residents preferred a dead-end street (cul-de-sac) to a through one-way street, indicating that a dead-end -yet improved the environment and safety of their neighborhood. The jority of the children (8 1 percent) played in the street every day, usins -iheir main play zone. Between 88 and 100 percent of the residents said they, Are willing to maintain the public planting beds within the streets, and nost SO percent sard they were actually doing so.“‘” A nationwide study in The Netherlands indicates that residents’ attitudes -L.ard shared streets are strongly influenced by the level of satisfaction with : design and social performance of the public spaces, rather than by the Lxtioning of the traffic system.“.“’ Moreover, residents are willing to accept -z!traints on traffic and driving in order to improve their social and residen- I environment. The surveys found that mothers, as well as children, C. x.ider the shared street safer than an ordinary street. It is also clear that the amount of knowledge one has about shared streets directly corresponds with -itudes toward them. Thus, opposition to implementation is mainly corre- h ed with general lack of .knowledge about the shared street concept. Even though it mipht seem that vehicular traffic and oedestrians would be in chflict, the physical design of shared streets actually subordinates the traf- . , a situation that is much safer for the pedestrian than the usual street layout.

Another promising finding shoi+d a reduction of vehicle trips of up to 14 stop when compared with asphalt&v&g.” 5 These results are contrary to the%@ of most road engineering. What is the explanation? The shared street layout establishes a pedestrian orientation by giving pedestrians primary rights: the driver is the intruder and is forced . . to realize he/she is enterigp a zone B ileges, The motorist then recognizes the probability of sudden conflicts and exercises particular caution. This combination of an alerted driver and low vehicle speed substantially reduce the likelihood of a serious accident; the maximum speed in a shared street was recorded at 13.5 mph (21.8 kph)?’ . Prospects for Shared Streets in Suburbia The shared street concept and its design implementation deviate from the typical standardization of street design. Shared streets require a more recep- tive and flexible design approval .procedure that does not adhere to prescriptive solutions. Its success lies in creating a workable compromise between conflicting interests, both within the physical domain of the street and within the planning and engineering professions. It provides an example of a street design that follows what Thomas Adams in 1934 called “guidance rather than law.“s3 Unfortunately, the woonerfconcept has remained little more than a nov- elty in North America. Although the idea was discussed in Donald Appleyard’s 1981 book Livable Streets, and in ITE’s 1989 publication Residential Street Design and Traffic Control,J’ it has not gained the accep- tance of legislative and planning agencies. Public agencies have seen no need to initiate such a concept and developers have preferred the “sure approved plan” over any new concept that might entangle their project in a bureau- cratic web. There are other possible reasons for resistance, as well.; . :, +-. 118 FACTS ABOUT URBAN STREETS Many jurisdictions in the San Diego area use a “one size fits all” for the design of urban streets. Most of these standards have their roots in the 1960’s when agencies adopted “Caltrans highway design standards” for residential street design criteria. In many instances, this is a major mistake since Caltrans standards consider only the efficient movement of traffic in greater volumes or at increased speeds. When agencies use these standards, they forget the fact that streets in residential neighborhoods have a different function than highways. Residential streets provide direct auto access to the home, provide an entryway to the house, provide a visual setting, pedestrian circulation, play areas for the children and a meeting place for residents. In 1986, the American Society of Civil Engineers, The National Association of Homebuilders and the Urban Land Institute cooperated on a publication entitled “Residential Streets” as a “practical” set of standards for residential areas. This publication has the following observations regarding urban streets: Streets that serve 25 lots or less can be a&arrow as 24 feet wide. Streets that are flatter, wider and straighter than necessary increase trafftc volumes and induce automobiles to speed. . High traffic volumes in residential areas increase noise, congestion, and hazards to pedestrians. Rigid street design standards do not allow designs to follow natural contours and preservation of natural features. Excessive pavement requirements deplete rainwater infiltration to groundwater basins and increases urban runoff (which contributes to our coastal bluff erosion). Excessive pavement width increase City annual road maintenance costs. Streets with excessive “on street” parking induce homeowners to park in driveways or at the curb rather than in garages. Streets with excessive on street parking contiguous to curbs and sidewalk are dangerous to children who dart from behind parked cars. Communities with narrower streets (like “Olde De1 Mar, Solana Beach, Ranch0 Santa Fe) are generally more desirable places to live in that those with excessively wide streets (like National City, Chula Vista, and Escondido).

III the past, residential streets have been mistakenly viewed as fulfilling only two functions: providing access and conveying traf- fic. As a consequence of this philosophy, requirements and design guidelines placed undue stress on the efficient movement of traf- fic-in other words, moving traffic either in greater volumes or at increased speed-and ignored residential streets’ many other functions. As stated in Performance Streets (Bucks County, 1980): It was often forgotten that residential streets become part of the neighborhood and are eventually used for a variety of pur- poses for which they were not designed. Residential streets provide direct auto access for the occupant to his home; they carry traffic past his home; they provide a visual setting, an entryway for each house; a pedestrian circulation system; a meeting place for the residents; a play area (whether one likes it or not) for the children, etc. To design and engineer residen- tial streets solely for the convenience of easy automobile movement overlooks the many overlapping uses of a residen- tial street. Residential Streets, Second Edition is based on the premise that the design of a residential street should be appropriate to its func- tions. A residential street’s functions include not only its place in the transportation system but its role as part of a residential com- munity’s living environment. The idea of a residential street system as much more than a transportation facility is reflected in the following principles that form the basis for the guidelines presented in this book: l Street planning should relate to overall community planning. l Traffic in residential areas should be kept to a minimum to reduce noise, congestion, and hazards to pedestrians. l The street is an important component of overall residential community design. Properly scaled and designed streets can create more attractive communities and can contribute to a clearly defined sense of place. l Street design standards should permit flexibility in commu- nity design. They should allow street alignments to follow natural contours and preserve natural features or to respond to other design objectives such as the creation of more inti- mate urban- or village-scaled streetscapes. l Wherever possible, street layouts should be planned to avoid excessive stormwater runoff and the need for storm sewers. l The amount of paved area should be kept to a minimum to reduce construction and maintenance costs, stormwater run- . off, and heat buildup. l Streets can serve social functions such as meeting places and centers of community activity. For example, children often use low-traffic streets as play areas. C. 20 Residential Streets -. C. l In the interest of keeping housing affordable, street costs should be minimized. l Overdesign of streets should be avoided. Excessive widths or an undue concern with geometry more appropriate for high- ways encourages greater vehicle speeds. l Different streets have different functions and need to be de- signed accordingly. Blanket standards are inappropriate. These principles suggest that a street system should be designed as a hierarchy of street uses. Routes carrying through traffic should be separated from routes that provide access to residential fnrroducrion 21 c. -. c. -- -- -- -- c- -- E 3 .o sip 2 iid 1 iL m .- 0 Q c-” , - r- C.

L. -. Nom Cmm TIMES -The trees -finally l -win one - As a champion of indige- nous species, I have to admit to a great deal of satisfaction C. C. I. -. C. with the news that a circle of tipuana trees has been grant- ed a stay of execution by the Carlsbad City Council. Realizing that these Bolivian na- tives add more to the neighborhood than the asphalt - threatened by the trees, the residents of Carleen Circle have successfully presented - their case for preserving their community’s character. Estimated at 30 to 40 years -_ old, this gathering of tipuanas is older than some North Coun- ty cities, so it makes sense that they be given the respect they -. are due. Regardless of what professional tree trimmers and city staff say, the role trees -. play in creating a community is vital and differs in response to the community in which the - trees grow. Large trees, being deeply rooted in the American conscience, should be protect- -. ed regardless of their place of Origin. I have no idea if native bird species have any use for a tipuana tree, and Pm sure that is the farthest thing from the residents’ minds. Considering that man is now able to alter life in innumerable ways, would it hurt if human beings altered their way of life just enough for trees to freely root? In a world where the needs of other species are rarely consid- ered, perhaps aesthetics will have to suffice as a reason for being. : With the preponderance of sport utility vehicles and four- wheel-drive everything else, a few roots pushing up through the asphalt should not be a big deal. In fact, these roots should be seen as natural speed ‘bumps. 1r you believe that as- phalt 1s the answer. I mvrte you to consider that the civiliza-’ . tions responsible for our mod- ern system thrived without it. Trees, on the other hand, are intricately linked to all hu- man cultures, save perhaps those in the Arctic. Aspen, Co- lo.; our own Joshua Tree; and Laurel, Fla., are but a view cities that found their identity in a particular species. Oak- dale, Cedar Ridge, Pine Valley, Encinitas, Palo Alto, Palm Springs, Palm Beach and countless others also set them- selves among the trees. The trees’ importance is recog- nized. in 640, St. Eligius ordered: “NO one shall go to trees, or wells, or stones, or enclosures, or anywhere else except to God’s church.” The “enclo- SW& were circles of trees or stones in which a natural shrine was kept. The Druidic faith of pre-Christian Europe centered its rituals within these groves, many of which were replaced by the temples of the invading Romans. Since this moment in world history, Western culture has sought to replace natural spaces with un- natural things. Trees are. the planet’s lungs, and at the rate we as a culture are adding automobiles and their resulting pollution, every tree should be seen as a life in- surance policy. Granted, it would be better if the develop- er who planted the tipuana trees on Carleen Circle had un- derstood the nature of the non- natives he was planting. But that is no longer ,relevant. What is relevant is that a group of residents has asked that 12 healthy trees be allowed to continue to contribute to their neighborhood. Has anyone ever heard of a town named after asphalt or concrete? Has anybody lived in a town that took Its name from tie latest compact car? If you ’ have, please write me, so that I might contact their Chamber of Commerce. North County Times columnist Robert Nanntnga is a college student. -. A-18 SUNDN, AUGUST 15,1%@ NORTH COUNTY TIMES - - - ‘What is the city f Carlsbad ming now? Over the years I have devel- ?d a sense of apathy when it ctrrnes to Carlsbad city politics. The concerns of the local, long- ablished, everyday citizens - have fallen on deaf ears, thus creating my apathy But this is the last straw; I can’t sit back and ignore things any longer. After reading the Aug. 5 story about the Charlene Circle resi- dents’ plight to save their trees (“Carlsbad residents push to save trees”), I discovered that myneighborhood, as well as the rest of Old Carlsbad, is on sched- ule for the same treatment - cut down the street trees, widen the streets, install sidewalks, curbs and gutters - all at the expense of the property owner We hand-picked our neigh- borhood and bought financially over our heads to live on Wilson Street because it didn’t have these improvements. My folks moved to Carlsbad in the early ’50s to get out of La Angeles. Lwasawareasakidgrowing up in Carlsbad that we had a very special lifestyle in a very special town. My kids feel the same way I did growing up - we live in a great place. To the political powers that be, please stop your aggressive, outdated, environmentally uu- friendly, citified urban-type improvements policy of paving paradise, and look at some of the solutions other cities across the nation have done to solve their traffic flow prob- lems. Consider becoming modem thinkers, good listeners and perhaps even trendsetters for the future. CH-RISS BROWN&G? - - Loss of trees destroys beauty of neighborhood The morning of Aug. 5, a Carlsbad city truck pulled up in front of our home. Before I realized what was going on, the men from the truck had cut down a beautiful, healthy 25.year-old liquidambar tree that stood on the parking strip between our and our neighbor’s property. Before they were finished they had cut:call the trees on the block but one and had taken the shade and beauty that graced the front of our homes. The Parks and Recreation people tell me it was because the sidewalk needed repair. Must established healthy trees be destroyed to repair the sidewalks? They also tell me that they plan to replace those healthy, full-grown trees with saplings that will eventu- ally look as nice as the trees they cut down. Eventually. It took 20 years for those trees tc grow. I know the town owns the parking strip and is free legal13 to do as it sees fit in this area. : am also aware that the econom\ of Carlsbad is based or tourism., and that most of ou: town leaders seem interested ix keeping our neighborhoods at n-active.

Small wonder so many look so similar - and boring. And in fact, the standard- ization has its enforcers.

A growing chorus of criticism is saying, though, that tunnel-visioned profession- als, while “going by the book” have pushed us toward sterile city and suburban envi- -. ror.ments. X one-size-fits-all approach, goes this indictment, has been destroying our birth- right - a variegated, attractive American citvscape and townscape. Now, say the v critics, it’s time to blow the whistle. Take the critique of Robert Engstrom, a Minneapolis residential developer and C. chairman of the Urban Land Institute’s Cities Task Forum. Disinvestment in cit- ies follows almost automatically, he notes, when engineers stifle proposals for nar- -. rower, more personal streets, fail to insist on sidewalks because they don’t speed traffic, or brush off street trees as unneed- ed lwruries. I. Fire officials are as unthinking, says Engstrom; they want streets broad enough to turn a firetruck around in, fail- ing to ask manufacturers for trucks with -I. narrower turning radiuses instead. Zoning often gets the entire blame for sterile cityscapes when the bigger prob- lem is in fact with the engineers, says Se- -. attle planner-critic Mark Hinshaw. “They lay all this stuff out - dictating wide Neal R.

In Redding, Conn., for example. the state offered $350,000 to fix a 17-foot- wide stone arch bridgein a bucolic setting on a rural road. But to get the money, said the state engineers, Redding would have to tear down the colorful old bridge and substitute a 2%foot-wide steel and con- crete structure. The town told the state it wasn’t willing to destroy the old bridge to save it. “It’s a sad commentary on our system,” First Se- lectman Henry Bielawa wrote in an open letter, “when historic preservation, neigh- borhood aesthetics and common sense are displaced by cookie-cutter design require- ments.” The highway engineers, Governing notes, remain heavily dependent on the so-called “Green Book” of road standards published and revised for the last 34 years by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). The Green Book works on three straightforward ideas: m Safety always comes first. History, aesthetics, community values have to take a back seat. * m To be safe, a road or bridge has to be designed for drivers traveling at high speeds, even speeds well above the legal limit. s High speed mandates width, so that average street widths went from 1~3 to 24 feet wide early in the century to 32 to 34 feet by the suburban building boom of the 1960s.

Gen- erations of highway engineers. raised one way, are not likely to change their habits easily. And then there’s the reality that any move to slow down the paving of America runs straight up against the high- way lobby-asphalt and concrete suppliers, trucking firms, construction labor, the American Automobile Association. Maybe the weight of the engineers and the well-heeled highway lobby will cow lo- cal officials. But the times are changing. We no long- er have seemingly unlimited public funds for roads and bridges: economy and smart planning will be necessary. And now local officials are increasingly willing to speak up because they respect their communities’ historic fabric, and be- lieve that they have their citizens’ sup- port. -. C-.

These major divisions include the arterial .street; theiccJ!ector street, and the local street. While a great deal of attention has been given to the design and functions of arterials and collectors, the local (or . residential) street has also begun to receive greater ‘:. attention. 1:::: The evolution of public perception as to what constitute the most desirable characteristics of a residential street has undergone many fascinating changes. Residential streets in the ‘karly part of the century were characterized bv relativelv ‘narrow widths. sidewalks. and shallow front yards..often with ..?porches dominating ‘the front elevation ‘of the house. They typically occurred in a grid pattern. With the advent of the modern subdivision, the character of residential streets began . to change substantiallv. Streets became wider to better accommodate traffic, houses were set back further, sidewalks often disappeared completely, and the front door became less of an activity area.

Residential Street Standards It is important to understand how existing street standards came about and how prevalent their use is today. The design of today’s residential street has evolved from the construction of roads that once carried horses and buggies and the early automobile. Streets in the early 1900’s had a right of way (ROW) of 30-50 feet and a pavement width of 18-24 feet. Houses were typically set back only 12-20 feet from the ROW. ” In the’ 196:O!si,the national Institute OfTransportation Engineers produced a publication titled Recommended ,Practice foryhbdivision Streets. This publication contained a “’ “set ‘of recommended standards for residential street design. These included: a 60 foot ROW; 32-34 feet of pavement; a 6- 7 foot planting strip; and a 5 foot sidewalk on both sides of the street. Typical front yard setbacks were set at 40-60 feet. These standards have been widely used as the basis for many of today’s subdivision regulations. [See Sidebar, Residential Street Vocabulary for cross-section comparison of early 1900’s versus 1960’s ROW]. It is important to remember, however, that a transportation engineer’s mission is to ensure efficient and safe vehicular movement. The standards’ emphasis on vehicular movement is what has drawn increased criticism in recent years. Many communities are now taking another look at th& existmg residentral street standards, In most suburban areas, the last twenty to thirty years of development have produce& ’ multitudes of identical looking, curvmg streets that have pavement widths and design speeds not unlike major arterials .;: or even highways. ‘And when residents drive at speeds of 40-, :50 mph because that is what feels comfortable, community officials are,forced to.consider retrofitting “traffic calming” devices to fix the problem [Editor’s Note: For more on trafX_c calming, see Richard Untermann’s “Taminn the Automobile”]. Some communities have begun to take a more proactive approach by changing the standards for residential street design~Z%oulder,‘Colorado, for example, has developed projects that deal with the design issues of community planning.

The new standards also provide for alleys, which, among other benefits, can help remove traflic from the street. While alleys are common in older neighborhoods, many communities’ design standards and zoning ordinances prevent their use in new residential development.

This type of coverage by the popular media is reflective of an emerging movement in the planning profession known as . “neotraditional” planning, or the”new urbanism.” The proponents of these ideas believe that successfiil, enduring cities and towns need to have certain elements within them. ’ These elements include such items as a pedestrian network, -. public buildings and squares, blocks of streets that interconnect in a more grid-like pattern, and street cross- sections designed to give a tighter, pedestrian-oriented character to the street (this is done by, among other things, ” I Neo traditional design versus conventional residential street pattern i - . -. <TITLE>PCJ Article: “The Refintial Street -- Part I,” by C.

Nevertheless, many people still app&r to like the conventional suburban pattern of deep front yards, and long, wide, gently curving streets, with cul-de-sacs - whose houses typically carry a price premium -- branching off However, this very layout contributes to higher speeds and greater traffic volumes on many local streets, and also results in more roundabout travel routes for both pedestrians and motorists. See Sidebar, “Arterial Connestion.” Summing Up: The standard used for the typical residential street has evolved from a narrow pavement width and right-of way to the much wider cross-section seen in today’s suburbs. Vehicle speeds are becoming an ever- increasing complaint in suburban areas. Many traffic , engineers and police officers agree that drivers “,,respond to their surroundings and not to posted speed &.limit’signs~ In other wordsiif the street has the width :iand gentle curves of a highway, people will drive on it e. as if it were’.a highway,. . ..’ c- c. Consequently, many communities are reconsidering their existing residential street design standards. There are an increasing number of planners and designers who, for many reasons, advocate going back to the : . street pattern found in older, traditional neighborhoods. However, many developers argue that the public is well-satisfied with the “modern” suburban -. street pattern that still predominates today. , -. -. C-. ‘. . -_ Is h . -. .

This would have resulted in a four lane asphalt road with curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and a grass plot between the sidewalk and curb. We had also proposed vertical and horizontal changes to the existing alignment which would improve its’ safety as well as capacity. Such changes would, of course, have significantly affected the ambiance of the rural road which I’ll call Country Lane. tent of my May 1999 article. If so, I apologize for your discomfiture. Most of you understood my intent and took it in the vein that I intend- ed, that of a discussion item. One of the problems of land development is the fact that it changes the character of the area being developed and the lifestyle of the affected residents. The residents of an area being con- sidered for ‘improvement” often see the devel- oper as the destroyer of their bucolic setting and an evil person who is seeking only to make a profit out of their future misery. Since I live in a somewhat isolated rural setting, I can The existing residents, who had resigned themselves to the new development, came out strongly in opposition to these changes. In their view, the issues of increased density, residential development and road improvements could somehow be separated. We didn’t see these There are certain times when the local residents see us, the public engineers, as more -. of an enemy than the developer. - -. -. commiserate completely with people whose lifestyle can be turned upside down by the introduction of more intense land uses. Yet there are certain times when the local residents see us, the public engineers, as more of an enemy than the developer. For example, a case recently appeared before our local planning body that sought to introduce an upscale enclave community into a rural area near our town’s city limits. The project’s lots, while large by urban density standards, were markedly smaller than those of the surround- ing ownerships. The parcels in the vicinity of the proposed development were predominately multi-acre, estate-sized tracts with the majority of those tracts being occupied by expensive homes. The thoroughfare serving the site is a two lane coun- try road approximately 20 feet wide with severe horizontal and vertical sight distance problems. Last year, a young driver failed to successfully negotiate one of these dangerous curves and died when her vehicle collided with one of the many large trees which line both sides of the narrow road. In response to the schematic plan submitted for preliminary review, our engineers proposed issues as being separable and were not popular with the residents for our stance. Finally, after some serious wrangling at the planning board meeting, we waived the need to install curbs and gutters and required only that the road have adequate engineering design to improve its safety. ‘The neighbors will still probably hate us when most of the trees lining this small lane are removed and the road is straightened but then we feel strongly that the road is unsafe, espe- cially for the proposed increase in trafftc load- ing. Since I drive this panicular road, I’m very familiar with its twists and turns. I’ve even had the opportunity to test my skills when I’ve found myself occasionally running late. So far I’ve been able to successfully thread my way through this road’s kinks but I’ve never had to do so when it was dark, raining heavily, or oth- erwise challenging. I trust that I never shall. I can empathize with the residents in their desire IO maintain the status quo for Country Lane. It is lined with large hardwoods and the colors are beautiful in the fall. It would be an ideal lane to dally in, were it not for the fact that this road is a connector between a major east- west arterial I’ll call Oak Road and a collector street I’ll call Clay Drive. I believe it carries a 40 mile per hour speed limit and it affords the first opportunity many drivers have in the Eastern portion of our county to get around some of our traffic bottlenecks funher west. One of our town’s elected officials really hates to see roads like Country Lane converted from their rural status into what he calls “superslabs’ and he is quite vocal about it. I can see his point but I’m saddled with the added professional responsibility under the laws of my state to watch out for the public’s safety. He has suggested in times past that the original lanes of such roads be left intact with any necessary lane increases or widening being placed on the other side of the trees that typi- cally line such roadways. The problems that arise from such a solution are large in that hor- izontal and vertical problems probably could only be addressed for the new road and the old road would remain as a hazard. Of course it might be possible to post a markedly lower speed limit for the old road as well as requiring the installation of ‘traffic calming’ devices such as speed humps to dis- courage speeding. The resulting roadway could then become a haven to bicyclists, pedestrians, and slow moving automobiles with the main traffic flow being carried by the new thorough- fare. The horizontal control problems might be the death knell for such a solution without some type of legislative mandate because I doubt that many developers would agree to give up additional land for a duplicate road parallel to an existing ‘usable” thoroughfare. I e&n suggested to this elected official that . . . . - he push throunh a Scenic Thorouehf& nance which would provide protection for the idyllic county before they disappear forever, He agreed that something should be done but so far nothing has come to pass. The developers in our area would have to be sold on this and without the force of law, I’m afraid their eco- nomic considerations will outweigh any aes- thetic concerns. I’m curious how those of you in other pans of the rountry react to similar situations. I’m sure that I’m not alone in this quandary and would appreciate your suggestions and experi- ences.

Carlsbad is requiring that all new streets be twice as wide as Highland. Carlsbad is not allowing new developments to install any street trees. Carlsbad is aggressively removing existing mature, healthy trees within their right OfwY- v Excessively wide streets in residential areas increase PC&%, induce motorists to speed and decrease residents safety. * ficessively wide streets are “environmentally unf%endi’y “. They increase grading, noise, heat buildup, and urban drainage runofl V Wider streets cost taxpayers more money to maintain due to increased re- sur$acing and repair costs. V There is a national boom throughout the United States in ‘Revitalizing ” old neighborhoods and preserving their narrow tree lined streets. V There is a national movement in the United States to embrace “Tree City U.S.A. ” programs which are increasing street tree planting to increase property values and reduce water and energy costs.

Recent events on James Dr. and Charlene Circle are clear indications that our public works department is operating without guidelines or against resident’s approval in preserving the quaint and charming neighborhoods that are the most desirable and visually appealing of our city. The city’s fear of liability to justify tree removal is a short sided approach to meeting the needs of our population. Mr. Mayor and Councilmembers please listen to those that have elected you. Your interest at the Aug 17 town council meeting(Charlene Circle/Arborist discussion) was a clear indication that you are concerned about our trees and visual scene. But, the lack of written nolicv and staff directive will prevent us from achieving QU common goal. Please consider the following points and recommendations; -Older established neighborhoods of Carlsbad have the same desirable charm as Old De1 Mar, Ranch0 Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Menlo Park. These neighborhoods are characterized by a rural setting with narrow, tree lined streets and an absence of curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. -Narrower, tree lined streets are traffic calming and reduce auto speed creating safer neighborhoods. -Liabilities are inherent to every part of our city. Our State and City beaches are perhaps our cities greatest liability, however we would never consider removing the sand or fencing the beaches to decrease the liability. Recommendations: 1 .Review staff guidelines and procedures immediately for older streets and neighborhoods. Suspend all tree removal and gutter/curb/sidewalk install. 2.Develop a commission composed of residents from older established Carlsbad neighborhoods. Commission develops policy and guidelines for neighborhood improvements. 3Council adopts and implements written policy developed by commission. 4.Abolish hold harmless agreements, liens against property, and other non-serving public agreements that are used as scare tactics by the City Manager to coerce homeowners into agreeing to the city’s unwanted improvements. There is a large and growing number of homeowners/taxpayers who are frustrated and angered by the approach the city has taken in so called “improving our neighborhoods”. These are ourneighborhoods, please respect our desire and plans for improving them. Thank you for your time, a reply to the above would be appreciated. Sincerely, aL~LdLQ La Richard C.

Our area is unique and very picturesque and adds to Carlsbad’s charm with all the old trees along Highland.

However, I would like to voice my at least tentative support for the Save Olde Carlsbad group. I say tentative as I have not spoken to any leader of that group and may not understand their entire agenda. As I interpret it, they refer to the perfection of Orange County which the city staff has accomplished in three of our quadrants. The city machine has now apparently turned it’s attention to the 4* quadrant, or old quadrant of Carlsbad. Yes, I must stand up and say that I like the feel of the old quadrant as it is. I like: 1. no curb and gutters 2. no sidewalks 3. large old street trees which drop their leaves 4. narrow roads 5. a homogeneous population 6. rural aspects 7. different architectural styles representing the tastes and times of the builder 8. expensive homes nest to more humble ones 9. historic buildings 10. the children of renters in school with the children those who own 11. minorities in school with majorities Yes, discussion and compromises must be worked out with those who advocate various things such as sidewalks, etc., but I am confidant that it can be done.

It is further our understanding that the matter Is referenced is agenda iterri number eight, AB15, 414 pursuant to the subject of dedications and public irnprobements. We are pleased that the City of Carlsbad has extended the opportunity to review this tiubject and afford citizen input for possible future revision to existing City policy. When reviewing. your pollcles for dedlcatlons and the related construtiion of public improvements, we encourage the Clty to consider the width and nature of its wmm@ty’s street and related landscaping requirements. Many communities, as you are aware, foster considerable flexibility and often promote the value of’narrower street sections es a desirable planning concept We also harbor concerns at the threshold identified for the requirement for construction of the public fmprovements. A Freshold of $50,000 appears at best to be arbiipry ,and warrapts review. Further, we recugnize a growing trend to utilise withholding of the certificate of occupancy as a oontrol mechanish: We appreci@e ‘the City’s willingness to periodically review its policiis and solicit input of its constituencies.
