Conway, Treasurer Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association c/o Berris Management 339 Willowspring Drive Encinitas, CA 92024 Lisa Hildabrand Delivered By Hand Acting City Manager City of Carlsbad 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 March 13,2008 Dear Ms. Hildabrand, In the absence of our President, Jeanne Frommelt, I am writing on behalf of the Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association to request the inclusion on the Agenda of the City Council an item related a new ordinance to establish parking restrictions in the streets of Brentwood Heights. The problems of Noise, Crime, Sexual Activities in Automobiles, Pollution of the Storm Water System and Trash in our streets, all related to vehicles that do not belong to residents of Brentwood Heights but which are parked overnight in our neighborhood's streets on a regular and continuing basis, was placed before the City Council by our President, Jeanne Frommelt, and I at the Council's meeting of 15 January 2008. The Council expressed the wish that this subject be placed on a future Agenda for Council consideration. The Board of Directors of the Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association subsequently met on 6 February to discuss the matter, taking into account statements by the Mayor and the Traffic Engineer that banning overnight parking at the northern end of Celinda Drive and on Afton Way and Kimberly Court might simply displace the problems further south into our neighborhood, and that a comprehensive solution to the problems should be sought. The Board of Directors supported the idea of a comprehensive solution to avoid moving the problems now at the northern end of our neighborhood to other areas in Brentwood Heights. On 10 March, after further consultations with City officials, the HO A sent a letter to all Brentwood Heights residents informing them of the problems at the northern end of our neighborhood, and informing them that the City Council may decide to ban overnight parking on Brentwood Heights streets, and ban all parking on both side of Afton Way. The letter stated that the HOA Board of Directors "believe that the No Overnight Parking solution will help those currently dealing with the problems ... and prevent the problems from moving to other areas in Brentwood Heights." This letter is being sent on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association to request formally the inclusion of the following on the City Council's Agenda: An ordinance to establish the following parking restrictions on the indicated streets: • A ban on all parking, day and night, on both sides of Afton Way, either by painting curbs red as approved unanimously by the Transportation Safety Commission, or by the installation of "No Parking At Any Time" signs; • Installation of "No Parking, Midnight to 5 AM" signs on the following Brentwood Heights streets: a both sides of Celinda Drive from its intersection with Carlsbad Village Drive to the end of Brentwood Heights, the last houses in Brentwood Heights being 3481 Celinda Drive (west side) and 3482 Celinda Drive (east side); a both sides of Kimberly Court; a both sides of Shawn Court; a both sides of Dana Court. The Board of Directors of the Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association is preparing a second letter to all residents in our community, informing them of the date and time that the City Council will consider this item when it is placed on the City Council Agenda. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Daniel E. Conway, Treasurer for: Jeanne Frommelt, President Brentwood Heights HOA cc: Rob Houston, Management Analyst Members of the HOA Board of Directors 3 DECEIVED 3511 Celinda Drive APR () 1 2008 Carlsbad. CA 92008-2769 Ph: 760720-6956 Carlsbadbill 1 @roadrunner.com March 29, 2008 Robert T. Johnson, Jr., P.E. City Engineer City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 Subject: Restricted Parking on Celinda Drive Ref: Public Notice dated March 27, 2008 I applaud the Brentwood Heights Homeowners Association and the City of Carlsbad for their effort in restricting parking on Celinda Drive, Kimberly Court, Shawn Court, and Dana Court. I live south of this area so we will not be in the restricted zone. I just hope it does not cause people to migrate into our area to park. I believe Celinda Drive is one of the best maintained streets in Carlsbad where people take pride in their yards and homes. Thank you for your efforts to keep Carlsbad a beautiful place to live. Yours truly, William D. Patrick
