UNFINISHED BUSINESS; (Continued)
Mr. Gill stated the biggest problem was the loss
of privacy, not only during the daytime, but to
all hours of the night.
The suggestion was made that perhaps Mr. Gilll
should contact the Boys and Girls Club about the
noise and loitering after hours.
The Commissioners suggested the hours for use of
the park area be posted and then some type of
reminder to those not obeying the time limit.
The Commission voted to take no action at the
present time, but to leave the situation at the tot
lot as it is; However, a sign is to be posted
giving the hours for use and Mr. Gill to proceed
with his negotiations with the Boys and Girls club
or any other interested party.
B. Carlsbad Unified School District Pool Use Request
Chairman Wright gave the background on this item
and Dave Bradstreet continued, stating he felt there
was no action required by the Commission on this
item. The pool agreement with the Carlsbad Unified
School District has a condition in it that reduces
the hourly rate for school activity to $14/hr. It
also provides for free time from 6:00 to 11:15 a.m.
and from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. during the week.
NEW BUSINESS;
Walco Inc. Trash Receptacle Grant
Dave Bradstreet reported Walco Inc. had offered the
trash cans to the City free of charge with the logo
"I love a clean San Diego". He stated Parks &
Recreation would request between 30 to 50 cans.
Parks & Recreation Commission accepted the offer of
Walco Inc. to give trash cans to the City free of
charge.
Commissioner Dahlquist reported a trash can missing
at Beach Terrace.
B. Board-Sail Request
Chairman Wright stated this was a request for a
change in hours for board sailors, and asked
whether anyone was present to give testimony. Dave
Bradstreet stated the interested parties had been
notified, but had not responded.
This item was dropped from the Agenda, to be re-
instated if and when a request is made.

This item was withdrawn from the Agenda.
D. Update on 84-85 CIP Projects
Dave Bradstreet reported this is an action item and
the Commission agreed by consensus to act on each
item separately.
1. Community Center Plans
Dave Bradstreet reported he was directed to lookat
various sites for the proposed community center and
to come up with a recommendation for a site and
design. He listed the sites investigated as
possible community center sites, and their
drawbacks, stating the best site available was
Cannon Lake Park. There is four acres of land
available and two acres of water, and it is in a
central location. Mr. Bradstreet stated there was
a subterranean water problem, which was being
analyzed prior to the August 7 presentation to
Council.
Mr. Bradstreet stated the park would be developed
in three phases, with a large rectangular building
constructed first. He indicated the plans would
include socker fields and a green belt. The cost
was estimated between $850,000 to $900,000, with
District One and Two funds and park-in-lieu funds
available for part of the funding.
Commissioner Conti asked what effect the bullet
train might possibly have on that location.
Mr. Bradstreet replied that would be something that
should be considered. He also stated that part of
that land is State-owned and Parks & Recreation
would make a proposal to the State to develop their
land.
Parks & Recreation Commission approved of the
concept for future development of the Cannon Lake
Park area for a community center.
2. Calavera Hills Community Park
Dave Bradstreet used a wall map to show the
Calavera Hills Community Park. He stated the City
has eight acres now and the development is in the
CIP. In phase one there would be three lighted
youth softball fields, but there would have to be
considerable grading done first. The community
center would be the third phase of that
development. Mr. Bradstreet stated the neighbors
were concerned about the traffic, but a traffic
study had indicated there would not be an adverse
impact on traffic, but would actually reduce
traffic from what it would be if that area were
left commercial.

Mr. Bradstreet stated there would be a charge for
the use of the facilities.
Mr. Jim Courtney, CARA, explained the open lawn
area in the proposed park and that there would be
no noise pollution on that side of the park.
Chairman Wright stated that CARA would have to pay
for the use of those fields.
Mr. Courtney stated CARA helps at each level to
develop the parks and they feel their children
should be able to use the fields in the City
without paying a fee.
Chairman Wright answered that organizations such
as Little League, etc., usually have their own
facilities and purchase those facilities. The
City is trying to provide facilities for all the
citizens, but the national organizations do have
the ability to raise money for their own use and
have the ability to fund their programs. He
concluded that this would have to be considered
and worked out together.
Parks & Recreation Commission approved the concept
of Calavera Hills Park.
3. Fuerte Park Development
Dave Bradstreet reported this park was ready to go
and he showed a wall park with the rendering. The
grading is going on now and this will be part
school and part park use, with the City maintaining
the school land and being paid for that.
Parks & Recreation Commission accepted the Fuerte
Park Development.
Commissioner Cochran left the meeting at 6:30 p.m.
5. Stagecoach Park with temporary Play Field
Dave Bradstreet stated his recommendation would be
to do nothing—since this is the wrong portion for
a play field. He stated he recommended "no" on
Stagecoach Park, as they are looking at other
areas. There is some land between La Costa and
Olivenhain that Daon owns that may be available
for a ballfield.
Mr. Bradstreet recommended a tour of Buena Vista
Elementary School with the thought of having
portable backstops for ball practice.

Mr. Bradstreet stated Valley Jr. High School
ballfields need to be renovated—they could be
legal if improved. He requested City Council fund
renovation of Valley Junior High fields—or
contract for this.
Mr. Bradstreet asked for endorsement to go forward
with "no" on Stagecoach and "yes" on the other
sites.
Parks & Recreation Conmission approved the concept
of touring the Buena Vista fields and continuing
to search for acceptable ballfields in any area
possible.
Stagecoach Park
Further discussion on Stagecoach Park by Mr.
Bradstreet revealed it nay take up to eight years
to get the rest of the park, but want to go forward
with the design next year. Macario Canyon and
Stagecoach Park lack access at the present time and
Mr. Bradstreet recomnended an update to determine
legal accesses the City has to the areas they own.
By consensus, the Conmission agreed an update on
legal access to City land would be valuable.
COUNCIL REPORT;
Council Member Lewis reported that both dates for
the workshop had been cancelled.
CCMMITTEE REPORTS;
Tree Committee
Commissioner Donovan reported the Tree Committee
had met and they do need more members. She asked
Dave Bradstreet to bring copies of the news
articles she presented last meeting. Mrs. Donovan
reported on a plan whereby developers would give
new buyers a tree certificate which they could use
or donate to the City. She stated a tree removal
and replacement policy will become a written
policy.

RE: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT 36(A)
Dear Barry:
Thank you for your letter of July 31, 1984. After my discussion
with Mr. Guttman, regarding Lot 290, I understood that he would
get back to us when he had acquired or made legally binding
arrangements to acquire the residual fee interest in the
property. Assuming that has been done the next step is for Dave
Bradstreet to take the natter to the Parks and Recreation
Commission. After securing their recommendation and assuming the
Commission and Mr. Bradstreet agree that we should dispose of the
property, the next step is to present it to the City Council for
their approval.
In this case I would suggest that the appropriate staff
recommendation would be to ask the Council's concurrence to
dispose of the property by negotiation rather than by following
our normal bid procedure. The law allows that when it appears
the City can make a better deal by negotiation. I think that is
probably so in this situation where your client owns the
underlying fee. Although the City's interest in the property is
the substantial equivalent of fee title the fact that our
interest is of record as an easement would complicate the sale on
an open market basis. For that reason and because it appears
logical that the property be developed in connection with the
project which surrounds it I think staff would be justified in
recommending the negotiated sale to the Council.
If the City Council concurs their action would be to authorize
staff to obtain an appraisal, negotiate with Mr. Guttman, and
return to the City Council with the proposed terms for the sale.
As previously indicated, it is the opinion of our office that
Attachment A

the proceeds of the sale are park funds, and would have to be
used for the development or acquisition of park and recreation
facilities in that area of Carlsbad.
If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call.
Very truly yours,

RE: CONDOMINIUM PERMIT 36(A) (JOB NO. 8422-G, 8422-H)
Dear Vince:
Mr. Jack Guttman of Con Am Properties has advised me that he
has been in contact with you regarding the inclusion of Lot
290, Vale Unit No. 3, Map No. 7779, into CP-36(A). Lot 290
is currently owned by the Daon Corporation and has a City
open space easement over it. Con Am would like to purchase
the fee title to the lot, remove the open space designation
on it, and include it in the presently approved CP 36(A).
Included for your review is a memorandum, dated February 16,
1984, of a meeting I had with Dan Hentschke regarding the
processing and approvals necessary to accomplish Con Am's
goals. Con Am would like to proceed on this matter at
everyone's earliest convenience. Preliminary discussions
have taken place with City Planning, Parks & Recreation, and
the Police Department regarding Lot 290 and there appears to
be agreement that the inclusion of the lot in CP 36(A) would
be in the best interests of both the City and the project.
0 Police would like to see the access via Lot 290 to
San Marcos Creek Canyon removed.
0 Parks & Recreation would like to not have the
responsibility of maintaining the lot.
0 Planning will consider the inclusion of Lot 290 in
a revised plan.
0 Daon is willing to sell the property.

File (w/encl.)
After reviewing the attached information, I attempted to set a
meeting up with the City Attorney's Office to discuss the City
vacating the existing open space easement. Dan Hentschke replied
to me by phone after reviewing same data.
0 The lot, although not owned in fee by the City, is considered,
in the opinion of the Attorney's Office, to be Park property.
0 As park property, it is an asset to the City, and has value
as other park lands.
0 In order to dispose of the "asset," the following would need
to be accomplished, not necessarily in this order:
- Concurrence with the Parks & Recreation Director that the
site is no longer needed.
- Concurrence with the Parks Commission of the same.
- Action by the City Council.
- Appraisal of property to establish value.
- Payment to the City of acceptable value of property.

January 31, 1984
TO: Land Use Planning Manager
FROM: City Attorney
STATUS OF LOT 290
You have asked for our advice regarding the status of lot 290 (CT
72-20). The lot is not a condominium lot. Any development of the
property would require a condominium subdivision map processed per
usual under Title 20 ;and a planned development permit under Chapter
21 .45.
The lot was, in effect, dedicated for park and recreational
purposes in accordance with the old La Costa Master Plan and the
City's then current Park and Recreation Element of the General
Plan. It was to be park land to afford pedestrian and vehicular
access to the San Marcos Canyon Park, an open space area. In our
view the lot is part of the City's inventory of park and
recreational lands. It is an asset of the system and could only be
disposed of accordingly.
In order to make the lot available for development we think it would
be necessary to secure the concurrence of the Park and Recreation
Commission. Assuming it is no longer desired for park purposes it
could be disposed of in a similar fashion to .other surplus park
properties. That is appraisal and sale at fair market value with
the proceeds being placed in the park fund for that portion of the
City.

RE: LOT #290 - SEA POINTE VILLAGE (J#8422)
Dear Jack:
On Monday I met with Catherine Nicholas, the staff planner on Sea
Pointe Village, to discuss the development of Lot #290. I re-
ceived from her a request for legal advice prepared by her along
with the City Attorney's response.
I believe the City Attorney is incorrect in saying the lot was
dedicated for park and recreational uses and therefore can be
sold at fair market value. The preliminary title report shows
the City as having only an easement on the property.
Barry Bender will be contacting the City Attorney to hopefully
rectify this problem so we can proceed with Lot 290's development.
If you have any questions on this matter, please call.
Sincerely,

OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF
3 A 336 UNIT CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOCATED ON PIRAQUA AND VENA»» STREETS,
4 I LA COSTA
APPLICANT: LA COSTA VALE, LTD.
5 CASE NO; CP-36 (A)
6 WHEREAS, a verified application for certain property, t«
7 wit:
8 Lots 274 through 289 and 291 through 295 of Carlsbad Tract
72-20 (La Costa Vale Unit No. 2) according to Map No. 7779
9 filed in the office of the San Diego County Recorder on

11
Planning Commission; and
12
WHEREAS, said verified application constitutes a request as
13
provided by Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code; and
14 • .

15
October, 1981, hold a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed
16
by law, to consider said request; and
17
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering
18
all testimony and arguments, if any, of all persons desiring to
19 I
be heard, said Commission considered all factors relating to the
20
Condominium Permit; and
21
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the Planning Commis-
22
siori as follows:23
(A) That the foregoing recitations are true and correct.
24
(B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing,
25 the Commission recommends APPROVAL of CP-36(A), based on the
following findings cind subject to the following conditions:
26
Findings;
27
1) The proponed project is consistent with the City's currei
General Plan and with the Specific Plan which has been, .,
1 applied to this property, since the proposed density of 8.22
du's/ac does not exceed the density limit of 10-20 du's/ac
2 established for this site and previous grading activities and
the topography of the site precludes a higher density. Also,
3 as conditioned, the project conforms to the requirements of
all other applicable General Plan Elements.
4
2) A Subdivision Map for the site (CT 72-20), designating all
5 lots as "Condominium Lots", has been finaled and approved by
the City Council and a condition has been included which re-
6 quires the applicant to file for an adjustment plat in order
to remove all lot lines which would intersect a proposed
7 dwelling unit.
8 3) The site is physically suitable for the type and density of
the development since the site is adequate in size and shape
9 to accommodate residential development at the proposed den-
sity and still meet all the requirements of the City's Condo-
10 minium Ordinance.
11 4) The project is consistent with all City public facility poli-
cies and ordinances since:
12
a) One hundred fifty sewer connections have been reserved
13 for the first two phases of development by the Leucadia
County Water District.
14
b) A condition has been added that building permits cannot
15 be issued unless sewer service is available and building
cannot occur within the project unless sewer service re-
16 mains available. Therefore, the Planning Commission is
satisfied that the requirements of the Public Facilities
17 Element of the General Plan have been met insofar as they
apply to sewer service for this project.
18
c) An agreement exists between the La Costa Land Company and
19 the Encinitas School District whereby a school site has
been made available to this district covering the subject
20 project.
21 Also, a condition of approval requires that certain
school fees must be paid to the San Dieguito Union School
22 District prior to the issuance on building permits.
23 (j) Adequiite water and gas and electric service will be
available to serve the development.
24
e) All necessary public improvements have been either pro-
25 vided or will be required as conditions of approval.
26 f) TVie applicant has agreed and is required by the inclusion
of an appropriate condition to pay a public facilities
27 fee. Performance of that contract and payment of the fee
will enable this body to find that public facilities will
2" be available concurrent with need as required by the
General Plan.
PC RKJiO LR02 -2-
1 5) Based on an initial study of the project, including a field
investigation of the site, the Planning Director has deter-
2 mined that the project will not result in any adverse envi-
ronmental impacts and has issued a Negative Declaration on
3 December 19, 1979 (log No. 626) and a Notice of Prior Envi-
ronmental Compliance on October 5, 1981 which was approved by
4 the Planning Commission on October 28, 1981.
5 6) The proposed condominium project meets the criteria of Chap-
ter 21.47 (condominiums) since:
6
a) The condominium meets the design criteria of Chapter
21.47.110 since the overall plan is comprehensive, em-
bracing land, buildings, landscaping and their relation-
ships, the driveways are not dominant features and suffi-
cient circulation and on-site amenities are provided.

Dear Dave:
Please find enclosed two copies of the above referenced map
for your and the Parks & Recreation Commission's use. On
behalf of Con Am Properties, I would like to request that
you seek approval from your Commission to have the City
Council negotiate the disposal of the open space designation
on Lot 290.
In review of my meetings to date with City staff, and most
recently a letter from the City Attorney's Office, dated
August 2, 1984, it appears the following needs to take
place:
0 You prepare a staff report recommending the City
vacate the public and City rights to Lot 290.
0 That the disposition be by negotiation.
0 Secure approval to do this by action of the Parks
& Recreation Commission.
0 Have the matter put before the City Council as
soon as possible.
0 The City Attorney's Office can advise you on the
need to request an appraisal of the property.

In analyzing the playing field situation in Carlsbad the following is observed:
- There is an increase in public demand for more league playing fields.
- According to the recommended new standard, there is a game field deficiency
in the City.
- There is a lack of lighted fields.
- There is a large amount of practice sites, but they are not designed for
league games.
- Some practice sites should be lighted.
- All existing sites are overused, which creates unsafe playing conditions.
- Inventory indicates City owns one facility, school and others own eleven.
- Carlsbad Unified School District has concerns regarding the public using
their fields.
• Maintenance Impact
• Will allow only practice games, no league games.
• Feels that their fields meet the school system's needs.
• Feels that the school's role is to provide education; the
City's role is to provide recreation.
• Feels that the City should provide more playing facilities.
-2-
- Under the existing agreement, the City maintains approximately
one half (10 acres) of the school's playing areas at a cost of
approximately $100,000 per year.
- The Carlsbad Unified School District has requested that the City
be responsible to schedule all their playing areas throughout the
year (takes the burden off the schools).
- There is a tremendous user demand for all facilities.
- Womens1 Softball Leagues play on youth fields that are too small.
- Some youth organizations have to limit participation due to lack of
fields and facilities.
- Public thinks community park development is not moving fast enough.
- Other cities in County and State face the same problems as Carlsbad.
- All cities surveyed have use agreements with school districts.
- Some cities allow private youth organizations to utilize excess park
land so that they can build their own playing fields.
- All cities surveyed said they cannot meet the public demand for playing
sites for the individual leagues.
- Some cities charge user fees to youth and adult teams.
- Carlsbad Athletic Recreation Association wants two special use areas
for their use.
- Private land owners have a problem in leasing land to user groups because
it creates future expectation.
- It would seem that it is impossible to meet all user demands.
- Most cities surveyed stated they provide multi-use fields and facilities.
- Fields in Carlsbad are used year-round.
- 24 different groups use the fields between March and December.
- The general public has little or no chance to utilize any of the fields
for recreational activities.
- It is apparent that the private youth and adult groups must adjust their
playing seasons so that they are all not playing at the same time.

4. Stagecoach 3 1 N/A
Total T2 T $760,720
Staff is also working with the Carlsbad Athletic Recreation Association to
find other sites throughout the city that may provide additional playing
fields.
Summary Conclusion
If it is the City's responsibility to provide playing facilities for all the
recreation users, then there is a lack of league playing fields today.
Youth Softball, baseball, soccer, and adult Softball are increasing in popu-
larity every year. The current field inventory limits the number of participants
and teams.
It is staff's recommendation that a field standard per population be adopted and
used as a guide for further City field development.
By providing additional funds, ten more Softball/baseball and four more soccer
playing fields can be added to the existing inventory that will alleviate the
deficiency at our current pupulation.
