SPECIAL MEETING: CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
DATE: November 15, 2011
TIME: 11:00 AM
PLACE: CITY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, ROOM 173B, 1635 FARADAY
Mayor Hal I called the meeting to order on November 15, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. Present: Hall, Kulchin,
Packard, Douglas, Blackburn.
1. Regional Reports: No reports were given.
2. Buena Vista Lagoon Restoration Plan Presentation.
Staff Member Presenting: Steve Jantz, Associate Engineer. (Power Point presentation attached and on
file in the Office of the City Clerk.)
Mr. Jantz presented a brief history of the lagoon and introduced Terri Stewart and Warren Wong, the
representatives from the California Department of Fish and Game who were in attendance in order to
respond to questions. Mr. Jantz reviewed the feasibility analysis, and the described the three
alternatives identified: 1. Fresh Water Alternative; 2. Salt Water Alternative; and 3. Mixed Water
Alternative. He also explained that a fourth alternative exists, which is to do nothing to the lagoon.
Mr. Jantz stated that the Department of Fish and Game owns the majority of the lagoon area, but that
the area at the mouth of the lagoon is privately owned by two groups, one in Oceanside (St. Malo HOA)
and the other in Carlsbad (The Beach HOA).
Mr. Jantz reported that the State had determined the preferred alternative to be the Salt Water
Alternative, noting that Fish and Game had conducted meetings with the property owners, who are
opposed to this option. He explained that, in order for Alternative #2 to be completed, property
owners would need to either dedicate an easement or sell a small portion of the property at the mouth
of the lagoon to the State. Mr. Jantz continued with the report noting that the State presently has no
funding set aside for this project and therefore is putting the project on hold. Mr. Jantz also reported
that the Buena Vista Lagoon Joint Powers Committee has recommended that that the City of Carlsbad
and City of Oceanside send a letter to the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency requesting that
they reconsider terminating the Environmental Impact Report for the project.
Ms. Stewart addressed Council and discussed the reasons for the selection of the Salt Water Alternative.
She also explained that in addition to lack of funding, since there is no agreement with the property
owners for access to the mouth of the lagoon, there is no viable project. Ms. Stewart reported that
Fish and Game had received an opinion from their Office of General Counsel, that the project is not
implementable, and therefore, cannot proceed, so that a decision to terminate the EIR was made.
City Council Workshop November 15, 2011
Council Member Blackburn inquired about the possibility of using condemnation to obtain the
necessary access to the mouth of the lagoon. City Attorney Ron Ball explained that the decision
regarding condemnation would be up to the lead agency, which in this case is the State of California.
In response to inquiry from Mayor Hall, Ms. Stewart explained that a letter from the City of Carlsbad
would elevate this matter for reconsideration at the agency level.
In response to inquiry from Council Member Douglas, Ms. Stewart stated that it is her understanding
that funds for the 1-5 widening project no longer include monies for lagoon restoration, or plans for
upgrading the 1-5/Route 78 connection.
In response to inquiry from Council Member Packard, Ms. Stewart noted that offsite mitigation would
not be an option for the lagoon project.
In response to inquiry from Mayor Hall, Ms. Stewart explained that the Salt Water Alternative would
remove lateral beach access in the area and would provide an opening of approximately 200 feet at the
mouth of the lagoon.
The following persons addressed Council regarding this matter:
Regg Antle, President of the Buena Vista Lagoon Foundation, spoke in favor of the Fresh Water
Alternative and in opposition to the Salt Water Alternative. He provided a brief history of the existing
weir and discussed the current status of the lagoon. He noted that restoration is needed, and
requested that the agency proceed with the EIR in order to properly evaluate the alternatives.
Diane Nygaard, representing Preserve Calavera, spoke of the need to deal with the siltation issues in the
lagoon, and the importance of obtaining funding through the 1-5/Route 78 project. She stated that
completion of the EIR process is key to this project and requested that it be done.
Jack Tenaglia, St. Malo Homeowners Association, spoke in support of lagoon restoration, but in
opposition to the Sea Water Alternative due to concerns about tidal flushing. He noted that the current
weir exists on an easement that was required to be granted in 1971. He also commented on the matter
of condemnation, which he believes would be long and costly. In addition, he requested that the
studies and EIR process be completed.
Austin Gavin, President of The Beach HOA, addressed Council in opposition to the Salt Water
Alternative, and in support of the Fresh Water Alternative.
William Carroll, representing The Beach HOA, addressed Council in opposition to the Salt Water
Alternative due to concerns regarding tidal flushing. He presented a memo and drawing (copies on file
City Council Workshop November 15, 2011
in the City Clerk's Office). In addition, he requested that the State Fish and Game Department proceed
with the Fresh Water Alternative.
Dennis Huckaby, of the Audubon Society, spoke of the need to maintain the habitat area for the many
species of birds. He requested that the State proceed with the EIR process for this project to better
assess the alternatives.
In response to inquiry from Mayor Hall, Ms. Stewart confirmed that the Buena Vista Lagoon is the only
fresh water lagoon in the state. She also explained that there are sufficient fresh water areas nearby to
accommodate the bird species requiring fresh water habitat.
In response to inquiry from Mayor Pro-Tern Kulchin, City Manager Hildabrand indicated that reports
from SANDAG and CALTRANS regarding the highway widening projects and funding could be agendized
for Council review within the next few months.
Mayor Hall noted that SANDAG has separated the l-5/Route 78 project from the 1-5 widening project.
In response to inquiry from City Attorney Ball, Ms. Stewart explained that the opinion given by their
General Counsel was verbal, not written. City Attorney Ball stated that he would contact the General
Counsel for clarification of the decision, and request a written opinion, if necessary.
Council Members discussed their concerns about the state of the lagoon if no restoration took place.
By consensus, Council determined to send a letter to the Agency Director, John Laird, requesting that
the studies and EIR for the lagoon project be completed, and that a report on potential funding sources
for the project be brought to Council at a later date.
At 12:40 p.m. the Mayor called a recess. Mayor Hall and Council Members Douglas, Packard, Kulchin
and Blackburn returned at 12:50 p.m.

Honorable City Council Members
I am William Carroll, and 1 live at 2315 Rue des Chateaux , Carlsbad
I am here this morning representing the Beach Homeowners
Association, a group of 14 homes on the beach at the very north end of
Ocean Street and one of the owners of the property at the mouth of the
Buena Vista Lagoon.
We thank you for giving us this opportunity to appear before you and
present our views on the various alternative plans as prepared by the
State of California Dept. of Fish and Game on the future renovation of
the Buena Vista Lagoon.
Our major concerns involve the Salt Water Alternative, which would
result in tidal flushing of the lagoon and converting it into a salt water
regime. As you all know these studies have been going on for a number
of years and our first major concern came in 2004 when the proposed
Salt Water and Mixed Water Alternatives proposed Jetties at the
entrance of the lagoon. At that time we expressed our belief that jetties
should not be permitted, as the result of the ocean current situation that
exists at this site, mainly a net annual north to south current, the sand
on the beaches to the south of the jetties, namely the North Carlsbad
beach between Oak St and the lagoon would be depleted. This
phenomenon has been studied extensively by coastal engineers and if
you are interested I can bring you documentation of this effect.
As a consequence of our opposition to the jetties, our Association and
the St. Malo Association had two separate meetings with the various
State and Federal agencies that were involved in this Project and they
asked us if we would consider an alternative without Jetties. We
indicated we would be willing to study any other alternative, but they
had to realize that this willingness did not mean that after studying any
other alternative we would be obligated to agree with it.
This resulted in a restudy of the alternative by them and the new
concept was presented to us on July 15, 2011. This new concept is based
on a 200-foot wide channel between St. Malo and our homes. This
channel has an invert elevation of minus 2 foot NGVD and the
maximum elevation of water in the channel would be about plus 5 foot
NGVD.. It is a very spread out channel with side slopes of about 20 to 1.
This channel would require some type of containment such as a sheet
pile wall immediately adjacent to our wall as our wall is not designed to
have ocean tides and waves against it. This channel would also
eliminate our access to the beach thru our existing stairway, and would
also eliminate 200 feet of our beach. We own the beach in front of our
development down to the high water line. We, therefore, do not agree
with this alternative. Also, our discussions with St. Malo, indicate their
opposition to this alternative as the tidal variation of 5-7 feet during a
portion of the year, approaching 50 percent of the time, is unacceptable.
John Tenaglia, whose grandfather Mr. Keith, developed St Malo
starting back in the 1920's, and who is a property owner along the
proposed channel and is on the Board of St. Malo Association, is here
this morning and can discuss their opposition.. It is interesting in that
in a letter dated Feb. 29, to the Office of the Attorney General from Ray
Nesbit, Executive Officer of the State of California Water Conservation
Board, states "Our objective is to keep the lagoon as a fresh water body
at a relatively uniform level".
Another interesting historical aspect of this situation is that back in
1971, when the Cities of Carlsbad and Oceanside were given easements
to the channel so that a weir could be constructed and then maintained
by the cities, the easement, states that "it is eepressly stated, understood
and acknowledged by all parties hereto that the easement granted
hereby shall not be used in any manner to import water from the Pacific
Ocean or from any other source to or into the Buena Vista Lagoon".
From the above you can see that we oppose both of the Sea Water
Alternatives so far proposed, and are in favor of the State Fish and
Game Dept. proceeding with the Fresh Water Alternative.
