Michael Holzmiller 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, Ca. 92008 RE: Change to City Council Policy 20 Street Names for'the Bressi Ranch Master Plan Dear Michael: The owners of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan would like to request a change to Exhibit "A" of City Council Policy 20. Currently this policy would require that the streets within the Bressi Ranch Master Plan be named after minerals, gems or show business personalities. This street naming theme is in contrast to their vision of the Master Plan. The residential portion of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan is being developed as a Garden District community. Lennar would like to name the streets in the residential portion of the Master Plan based on a garden theme. They would prefer to name the streets in the industrial portion ofthe Master Plan based on an industrial theme it. "Getty". This revision to Exhibit "A" of the Street Naming Policy would be more in keeping with the type of community that we are trying to create with the Bressi Ranch Master Plan than the existing street name theme for this area. Earlier versions of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan had included text addressing this change, but based on direction of staff this text was eliminated. We were told to not include this text, but to apply for a modification to the City's Street Naming Policy outside of the Master Plan. We believe that there is some precedence for this request since the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan was allowed to modify the Exhibit "A' to allow for Spanish street names to be used which was more in keeping with the theme and character of the Rancho Carrillo Master Plan. We would like to make a similar revision to this policy for the Bressi Ranch Master Plan. Hopefully this request could be scheduled for the July gth City Council meeting to allow it to be heard the same night as the Bressi Ranch Master Plan. If this is not feasible we would like to request that it be scheduled for the first available City Council meeting. If you have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Mike Howes Cc Christer Westman Mark Rohrlick Biff Smith Kristine Zortman attachment
