PUBLIC HEARING:
I. AB #92 - RP 87-11 - VILLAGE FAIRE
Chris Salomone, Community Redevelopment Director, gave the staff report as contained in the Agenda Bill,
stating this was an innovative Redevelopment project. He described the project, using wall charts showing
drawings of the proposed retail shopping center.
Mr. Salomone explained the parking proposed for the
project, stating that was the most critical part of the
project. In answer to Commission query, Mr. Salomone
stated on the parking spaces to be leased, he thought
the maximum lease was 49 years. The Commissioners
expressed a desire to have the longest leases possible.
Commissioner Lewis opened the Public Hearing at 9:lO
p.m., and issued the invitation to speak.
Gottfried Klement, 377 Elm Avenue, stated this project
would be an asset to the City of Carlsbad. He expressed his concern with the parking issue, stating there was no
proposed crosswalk by Washington Street. This would
cut off the businesses on the south side of Elm from
any parking, particularly if the Elm streetscape
eliminates parkfng on Elm.
George Willis, owner of 539 Elm Avenue, stated his
concern with the ingress and egress at Washington
Street, with a right turn in and out only. This would
discourage pedestrians on the south side of Elm Avenue.
He added he was in favor of this project, but the
businesses are concerned about the parking on Elm.
Bob Nielsen, 525 Elm Avenue, stated this was a good
project and should be endorsed.
Mary Melideo, 159 Hemlock, spoke regarding the parking
for the proposed project, stating there should be more
than a verbal agreement. She felt there should be more parking required, and inquired about the other
businesses on Grand near the proposed leased parking.
Mr. Salomone explained the parking for those businesses
and further stated if the parking is not available, the
project would not proceed.

PUBLIC HEARING: (Continued)
Dennis Meehan, 3981 Gloria Lane, stated he was in favor
of the project.
Keith Kennedy, 2052 Avenue of the Trees, stated
Washington Street is one of the darkest areas in the
downtown section and he believed this would help it
immensely.
Steve Densham, 2965 Monroe Street, the owner and
developer, addressed the Commission, asking for relief
from the condition requiring undergrounding of the
utility poles on Grand Avenue. He added the utilities
on the property are all underground, and the poles on
Grand Avenue serve the businesses across the street.
