C. Landscaping at Alga Road/La Costa Blvd.
Dave Bradstreet stated there is a written report
in the packet. In addition, he added Parks &
Recreation,Department was not aware the City had

Road. As soon as they learned this, they
eliminated the weeds. He mentioned the
embankments and stated those are owned by
homeowners associations or individuals, and the
Fire Chief said that particular section of Alga
Road is not under their weed abatement program.
However, where there is a problem fronting
wooden fences, the property owners will be
notified to eliminate the weeds. If the owners
do not cut the weeds, the City will cut them and
assess the owner the charges on their tax bill.
Certain areas along Alga Road are not included
in the Fire Department weed abatement, due to
assessment districts being formed.
Commissioner Conti commented that he did not
understand why certain properties were not
included in the weed abatement program. He felt
unnecessary chances were being taken by not
declaring all those banks as fire hazards.
Commissioner Donovan expressed her appreciation
for the expeditious handling of the weed problem
in the medians, and added that she felt a
tougher stand should be taken on the weeds left
on the embankments. She felt a stand should be
taken by the Commission and/or an educational
program to get something moving in that area.
Doug Duncanson stated the Fire Department was
going to inspect the embankments along Alga Road
and notify any property owner where they deem a
fire hazard exists.

fire hazard and she felt some action should be
taken.
Dave Bradstreet explained that those embankments
were created before the Landscape Manual was

INTRODUCTION OF NEW ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
Dave Bradstreet introduced Mr. Ray Patchett, the

Association, 528 Shore Drive, stated there was a
major problem with the mosquitoes by Cannon Lake.
Sharon Pierce, Treasurer of the Terramar
Association, 5310 El Arbol, gave photographs to
the Commissioners for their perusal, and explained
there is trash, mosquitoes and algae on the Lake.
She requested the north end of Cannon Lake be
cleaned up and the area kept in a natural state.
She had gotten approval to remove the reeds, but
cut them too soon and must now wait until they
grow high enough to spray.
Dave Bradstreet reported the property is City-
owned and consists of approximately six and a half
acres, with one-third under water. The City does
maintain this area and staff will clean out the
debris. Rodeo has been sprayed there in the past
and the County will inspect the area and re-spray.
Doug Duncanson has a license to spray, and the
area will be sprayed and cleaned out. Also, there
will be treatment for the algae. Mr. Bradstreet
stated he hoped the County would put this area
under their spray area.
Commissioner Dahlquist suggested a "no dumping"
sign be installed in the area.
Commissioner Conti suggested that any City land
should be kept in a state that the City could be
proud of and that upkeep should be continuous. He
said if an area is a natural area and is a dump,
then the City should make it "unnatural".

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS;
A. Fuerte/La Costa Meadows School/Park
Dave Bradstreet referred to the letter in the packet
he addressed to Dr. William Streshley regarding the
agreement with the San Marcos Unified School
District. He stated Seena Trigas, representing the
San Marcos Unified School District, was in the
audience to answer any questions. The School
District has agreed to this proposal.

services charges in the amount of $55,000.00, for
work done on the park site by the San Marcos School
District in conjunction with the elementary school
development; and in addition, the City agrees to
administer and contract separately the remaining

access.
B. Beach Access on Beech Avenue

overlay shoeing the beach accesses and stated
the access on Beech Avenue is owned by the

the width standards, and the City has not
accepted the deeding of this access. Mr.
Bradstreet said this access is a problem and
something needs to be done. It was chained off
a couple of years ago, but the chains were torn
down.
The consensus of the Commission was to have
Parks & Recreation Department pursue having some
action taken on this beach access.
There was discussion about the Coastal
Conservancy repairing the access, with Parks &
Recreation Department maintaining it. The
Commissioners commented they opposed closing the
access.
Parks & Recreation Commission directed staff to
proceed with the Coastal Conservancy, asking
them to clean up this access, and asking the
City to maintain the access at Beach Avenue.
Commissioner Dahlquist suggested a sign be
installed indicating this as a public access.

COST TO REHABILITATE GRANARY
I have discussed the necessary improvements required
to bring the granary building up to uniform building
code standards. The estimate of the building department
staff is approximately $6,000. This figure would be
substantially lower if volunteers were to provide the
labor.

City of Carlsbad
Parks and Recreation Commission

Carlsbad, Ca. 92008
Gentlemen:
In talking with Shirley Dahlquist the other day on the tele-
phone, I expressed my agreement with her plan of asking the
state of California to take over the Agua Hedionda Lagoon
to develope it for recreational purposes?
Before developers take over the entire available shoreline,
certainly the city and state could work together to insure
some free public access- to the lagoon.' As you know, the end
of Hoover Street at one time had a small area that was used
for picnics, etc.
I realize the cost would be large to dredge the 3 connected
lagoons, but with SDG&E help, and the state and city putting
forth real effort, this natural recreation area could be-
come a place of enjoyment and beauty to Carlsbad."1
Since our beaches are almost all racks at present, a small
owimming and picnic area at the end of Hoover Street on the
lagoon is very much needed by the public? Compared to the
people that are now in our area, and the continuing influx
of more people, we have very little beach area that is useable
for swimming.
May all of you on the commission give serious consideration
to expediting a greater use of the lagoon.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Robert Beach

RELOCATION OF HISTORICAL OIL DRILLING APPARATUS
TO LEO CARRILLO RANCHO
A recent E.I.R. has identified an old (60-70 years) piece
of oil field machinery. This equipment is located on property
east of El Camino Real, approximately 100 yards off
the street at the intersection of Dove and El Camino Real.
The Carlsbad Historical Society has expressed interest
in salvaging this item. In addition the Historical
Society has requested this item be placed at the Carrillo
Ranch Park Facility. The property owner has given the
okay to remove this item as long as written release of
liability is granted.
The cost to relocate this apparatus would be approximately
$1000 in crane and material fees. In addition staff time
to properly move this item is estimated at 40 hours.

GRANT APPLICATION
The State of California is accepting grant applications
for grant funding through the 1984 Parks and Recreation
Bond Act. This is a competitive program and the State
expects to receive over 1100 proposals. We would compete
with other jurisdictions in San Diego County.
The deadline date to submit an application is October 1,
1985. Last year we received $145,000 for Calavera Hills
Community Park - Phase II.
Staff is recommending that we select the construction
of the Community Center at Stagecoach Park as our
project. The City has a tremendous need for this
facility, and all the documents needed for this
grant application are available. In previous years,
the State would allow agencies to submit their CEQA documents
(Environmental Reports) at a later date. This year
all information must be submitted by the deadline date.
The City will be requesting approximately $150,000.

TO: LOCAL AGENCIES INTERESTED IN STATE DEPARTMENT
OF PARKS AND RECREATION GRANT PROGRAMS
The State Budget for 1985/86 containing several hundred 1984 Bond Act
grants resulting from the first year competition has been passed and
signed by the Governor. Grant recipients will soon receive contracts
to sign and return.
Now is the time to start preparing your grant project proposals for the
1986/87 fiscal year for the Regional Competitive and Lakes, Reservoirs
and Waterways Programs, and the 1985/86 Roberti-Z'berg Needs Basis Program.
It is expected that the second round will have about the same level of
competition as the previous year — some 1,100 proposals.
All three programs have an October 1, 1985 grant project proposal dead-
line. In previous years there was a brief "grace" period for submission
of CEOA documents, allowing extra time for applicants to complete their
applications. This year we are requiring complete applications by
October 1, 1985. We urge you to not postpone the preparation of your
project proposals and to obtain your CEQA clearances or permits before
that date.
Please review your 1984 Park Bond Procedural Guide for application forms
and procedures and the detailed description of what constitutes a complete
application. If you need additional copies of the Guide, please let us
know.

1 ncloor 3occer t aci 1 i1.y.
The two north courts are in bad shape and need considerable
improvements. Due to the poor condition of the surface very
few people use them. One has already been converted to
P'addle Tennis, and we would like to use the other one tor
1ndoor Soccer.
Our Soccer Club ', l.b.u.C.} would build the court at our
expense, it would have plywood walls and artificial turf
for the playing surface. We would not remove arvv fencing or
alter the existing court in any way except removal of tne
existing tennis net. The court could be removed at the
c i t y' s r e q u e s t o n v e r v =, hart notice.
We would request use of the court for at least one year, or
until we could find a permanent location -for the citizens
of Carlsbad to play Indoor Soccer.
I have attached a rough sketch and diagram of how the court
would be constructed.
Time is of the essence so the youth of the city can play
this next season. Therefore we would request anv decision
at the earliest possible date.
Thank you very much for your help and attention to this
matter.

We're now getting one-fourth as much park land for each new resident as we did in 1974
Developers' park fees too low
Ov"ver the past decade, San Diego County has
fallen behind in providing parkland for its resi-
dents.
Everyone knows that California land prices
skyrocketed in the middle and late 1970's. But
our county Department of Parks and Recreation
has been unable to keep pace because the park
fees paid by developers have remained un-
changed since 1974.
Obviously, a change in the fee structure is long
overdue. Housing prices have roughly quadru-
pled since 1974, which means that the cost of
buying parkland has gone up by a similar
amount Since the fees have stayed the same,
we're now/getting one-fourth as much park land
for each new resident as we did in 1974.
That's unfair to everyone.
We live in one of the most desireable areas in
' the nation, and growth is inevitable. But we can
/i and should make new growth pay its own way by
• assessing equitable fees for capital improve-
ments that will be used by new residents — like
parks, schools, roads, sewers and fire stations.
That's fair, and that will help keep San Diego
County desireable — and solvent
Thanks in part to a controversy over a park
adjacent to a proposed condominium develop-
ment on D Street in Encinitas, the county has
finally decided to review its park fees.
(That unfortunate incident probably could
have been avoided if park fees were more realis-
tic. As it was, the Parks Department found itself
asking for only $18,000 in park fees instead of
,93-acres of land — and the neighbors were jus-
tifiably outraged.)
The county's current park fees range from $100
to $150 per dwelling unit, depending on the type
of housing. This contrasts with a range of $382 to
$818 in Carlsbad, and from $517 to $970 in Ocean-
side. The City of San Diego's fees will soon be
revised, because they are in the $150 to $200
range — and that city has already collected fees
as high as $1,400 per unit in North City West
The county Board of Supervisors will soon be
considering a proposal to increase its park fees,
and we encourage them to approve a healthy
hike to get us in the same ballpark as our neigh-
boring cities. An increase of $500 or so per dwell-
, ing unit won't price consumer* out or the home?,.^
'1 buying market, and it will make new reaUentM)i
pay their fair share for services they'll need.''Hip
And to assure that we don't fall a decade be-
hind again, how about reviewing these park fees
and other fees on an annual basis?
Most school boards evaluate their developers'
fees every year to be sure they are in line with,
increases in inflation. The county Board of Su-
pervisors .ought to consider the same procedure.

v>A golf/course at Macario Canyon?CF, ...-,£ , .-/...
By HANI?•By HANK LITTEN
The Carlsgdbd column: I1 I have met a lot of good people on
'golf coure/around the world and I've
always wondered why Carlsgood
doesn't rave a'golf course for our
citizens md tourists. Yes, La Costa's
two courf es are great, Rancho Carls-
bad is excellent for the casual golfer
and the flew Olympic Resort complex
is interesting and excellent for prac-
tic-~ I '
L <.tfe past, city planners have
been advised that a golf course is im-
practical for Macario Park and their
futur| plans do not include one.
However, with the interest of Rick
Engineering's Bob Ladwig and Alta
Mira resident Jim Smith, your Carls-
good columnist is seeking to revive
interest in a Carlsgood golf course.
Bob's detailed plan calls for a reg-
ulation 18-hole course that would
play to a par 73 and feature some ter-
rific views of the Agua Hedionda La-
goon and the ocean over its 6,111 yds.
Having been involved in the plan-
ning and development of five golf
courses, I know that private enter-
prise is now successfully developing
golf courses with the cooperation of
cities and both sides profit from the
innovative programs at no cost to the
taxpayers. The city of Indian Wells is
:he most recent successful example
•vith its hotel and 36-hole tourist/
citizen related golf complex on city-
owned property.
We have discussed the possibility
of a golf course on city-owned land
with Mayor Casler, council members,
top city management and the parks
and recreation staff. Jim plans to
make a presentation soon before the
Parks and Recreation Commission
and would like to determine the
amount of interest Carlsgood resi-
dents have in a public golf course.
Our early indication is that the sup-
port will be tremendous. Ideally, we
would like to have the names of
several hundred citizens who will
support the program.
If you are in favor of exploring this
exciting possibility please drop me a
line at 7108 Santa Barbara.
D
Two good guys' names were omit-
ted in the composition room setting
my last column. Car Country Carls-
bad president Walt Murphy and
Tournament Chairman Don Stewart,
of Bob Baker's dealership, were the
hard workers who helped make the
Car Country-Carlsbad Chamber of
Commerce golf tournament a huge
success. The Boys and Girls Club of
Carlsbad was the happy recipient of
the excess funds.
DGood deeds are usually a labor of
love in a small community such as
Carlsgood, but it's a real shame that
often the people behind the scenes of
community events never get the
attention or credit they deservg.
Often their hours of hard work do not
result in their efforts being appreci-
ated and accepted by a lethargic
citizenry. One contemporary exam-
ple is the acceptance of the current
Carlsbad Patrons of the Art produjf
tion of "Harvey," which has strug^
gled through mediocre attendance
despite tremendous raves for tite
play in its opening week. *
For the past several months, hard
working Muriel Roston, president »f
the Patrons of the Arts, producer and
co-director of "Harvey," has beeij
working almost night and day with
the myriad of activities that are so
necessary to the success of a complex
community production like this one;.
Patron vice president Bobbie Hod^
er has given up many an evening antf
weekend as house manager, while*
Richard Irving, the La Costa resident
whose "Wallenberg Story" wafc
nominated for several Emmys, is the
talented director who has worked

Dear Mr. Brlner:
I am writing to you on behalf of the citizens of the City of Carlsbad to solicit
your support in solving a very serious problem. The problem is that the State
does not provide lifeguard services to a one mile stretch of beach between the
area north of Oak Avenue and the mouth of the Buena Vista Lagoon in Carlsbad.
In years past this was not much of a problem because of the rocky nature of the
beach, but due to a large volume of shifting sands this has become the most
attractive beach area along our coastline.
This is not the first time this issue has been raised with the State Department
of Parks and Recreation. I have enclosed copies of previous correspondence to
facilitate your prompt and personal attention to this matter.
In your department's correspondence you cite the State Public Resources Code,
Sections 5003 and 5007 and conclude "My Department has no legal authority to
expend funds for the care, maintenance or control of any lands which are not
part of the State Park System." You go on to state, "We may enter into
contracts with cities, ... for the care, maintenance and control of lands not
under our jurisdiction."
What you are suggesting is that if the City would pay, your department would
provide the lifeguards. I appreciate your position, but this City and many
other coastline cities are not in a position to pay but we do provide police,
paramedic and other local services to these beaches, and State beaches.
This is not just a Carlsbad problem so I would challenge you and your staff to
work with the City of Carlsbad to explore alternatives aimed at solving the
problem. A few ideas which I have thought of are listed below. I would
appreciate your review and suggestions on how these could work.
A. Homeowners In the affected area could grant the State an easement to
Include the beachfront area in the State beach system during the
swimming season. How would your department react?
B. If the City authorized lifeguard stands on our beach accesses in this
area, would the State take advantage of the opportunity? As I
mentioned previously, this is the nicest beach in Carlsbad and is the
center of beach activity.
C. Is there any authority that rests with the State to form a lifeguard
assessment district?
D. If the Community were to raise funds to pay for lifeguards, how much
would the State charge to cover the specified area?
I am sure that if you look at this with the intention of solving the problem,
there is a means to do so. I have listed my ideas, but I know there must be
others I have not recognized. This is no doubt a liability problem statewide
that we would all like to solve. It makes no sense to me for our residents to
be placed in an unguarded, potentially unsafe recreation environment simply
becuase of rules or laws which may need amending. I solicit your help and offer
mine if I can be of any assistance in identifying a solution to this problem.

Dear Ms. Dahlquist:
Your letter of September 27, 1983, requested state
lifeguard services for a mile stretch of beach between an area
north of Oak Street and the mouth of Buena Vista Lagoon in
Carlsbad.
The State Lands Commission holds title to sovereign
public trust lands which were acquired by California at
statehood. These sovereign lands include the three-mile-wide
strip of tide and submerged land adjacent to the coast and
lying waterward of the ordinary high water mark (Civil Code §
830). As to the area referred to in your letter, the exact
location of this line has not been determined or fixed by
agreement or adjudication.
All of the public trust lands at this location
(lands waterward of the ordinary high water mark) are subject
to recreational use by the public? however, as is true with
the vast majority of public trust lands in the State, in the
absence of any agreement with a local or state agency, no
lifeguard services are provided. The State Lands Commission
is not funded or staffed to provide lifeguard services for any
of the appointed 1,100 miles of state coastline.
The State Lands Commission would be willing to help
coordinate some type of contract or agreement between the
Department of Parks and Recreation and/or the City of Carlsbad
to insure the protection of the public's health and safety.
Shirley Dahlquist -2- November 29, 1983
Recently enacted urgency legislation gives State Parks the
ability to enforce their rules and regulations on adjoining
tidelands. Given this. Parks may be able to respond more
readily to your request.

1983. Should you desire further information, please contact

Dear Ms. Dahlquist:
Director Brlner has asked me to respond to your letter of
September 27, 1983 requesting us to assume the responsibility
of providing guard towers and lifeguard services to a one mile
stretch of beach from Oak Street north to the mouth of the
Buena Vista Lagoon in Carlsbad, California.
You have correctly stated that'the beach below the mean high
tide line 1n this area is owned and under the jurisdiction of
the State Lands Commission. The beach above the mean high tide
line, with the exception of three City owned 50 foot wide
stairway accesses, is privately owned.

As the land in question is not part of the State Park System one
way we can provide the services you are suggesting is to enter
into a contract with your city. The only other way I'm aware of
is by special legislation including an appropriation to cover our
costs.
The fact that no services are being provided on this beach is not
a unique situation. Many miles of state, county, and city owned
beach along California's_coast are used by the public for beach
recreation purposes without benefit of lifeguard or other
services.

Gentlemen:
In talking with Shirley Dahlquist the other day on the tele-
phone, I expressed my agreement with her plan of asking the
state of California to take over the Agua Hedionda Lagoon
to develope it for recreational purposes »'
Before developers take over the entire available shoreline,
certainly the city and state could work together to insure
some free public access to the lagoon.1 As you know, the end
of Hoover Street at one time had a small area that was used
for picnics, etc.
I realize the cost would be large to dredge the 3 connected
lagoons, but with 3DG&E help, and the state and city putting
forth real effort, this natural recreation area could be-
come a place of enjoyment and beauty to Carlsbad.1
Since our beaches are almost all racks at present, a small
owimming and picnic area 9t the end of Hoover Street on the
lagoon is very much needed by the public? Compared to the
people that are now in our area, and the continuing influx
of more people, we have very little beach area that is useable
for swimming.
May all of you on the commission give serious consideration
to expediting a greater use of the lagoon.

Dear Mr. Aleshire:
We appreciate your letter of June 11, 1985, concern-
ing SDG&E's position on certain Carlsbad issues. As agreed
at the meeting of June 12, you have stated the City's position
on each issue. We assume that the issues were not necessarily
prioritized. If that assumption is incorrect, or if there is
a priority, SDG&E would like to know the relative importance
of each item.
Below, we've outlined our informal position subject
to a further review by SDG&E staff. This is an effort to be
responsive and give the City an indication of our preliminary
feelings and/or concerns on the issues. A more formal response
will be forthcoming once staff has made a full review of each
issue.
1. Dredging --
a. The 12 acres outlined in the Corps of
Engineers study to be dredged in the
inner lagoon of Agua Hedionda are con-
sistent with our intent of maintaining
an emergency body of cooling water for
the power plant.
b. Before SDG&E could contribute to the
dredging, one would have to find a direct
benefit to our customers. The plant oper-
ators do not find the direct benefit in
this case. However, we may have our dredge
at Encina available in the future for service
at a specified contractual rate. This in
itself may be economically attractive to
the City and Army Corps of Engineers.

c. SDG&E would extend the lease for five
to ten years with options for future
years. It is our intent to leave the
lagoon in its present form for the most
part. This portion of your request has
been directed to other departments for
further analysis.
2. Lease vs. Purchase --
a. SDG&E presently leases the water surface
to the City on an annual basis. Our pro-
posed specific plan process for the land
east of 1-5, will discuss south shore use
and permanent access.
b. Longer lease or sale is being investigated
by other departments. A fuller description
and response to come later.
3. Artificial Seaweed --
a. SDG&E would most assuredly approve the project
if there's no impact to the placement of sand
on this beach. A further analysis will be done.
b. Again, we see no direct benefit to our customers,
therefore, we would not contribute.
SDG&E also appreciates the fine cooperation and open
communication with the City of Carlsbad.

AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON
Several matters relating to Agua Hedionda Lagoon are being
considered by the Carlsbad City Council. The purpose of
this letter is to provide you with a brief description of
those issues and to request that you advise us of the
company's position on each.
1. -Dredging
The city has a tentative commitment from the Corps
of Engineers to provide $350,000 to dredge the
easterly lagoon. The purpose of the project would
be to remove sediments around the sand bar in the
center of the lagoon and along the north and south
shores. This would allow continued boating and
water skiing. A copy of the Corps of Engineers
proposal is attached.
a. Would the company approve the project?
b. Will the company contribute $175,000? (The
required local match.)
c. Will the company extend the lease with the
city for 15-20 years?
2. Lease - Purchase
In order to preserve the lagoon for public use and
enjoyment it has been proposed that public ownership
would be more appropriate than San Diego Gas & Electric
ownership. It is believed that state funds might be

made available to improve and enhance the lagoon
and surrounding lands if public ownership were a
reality.
a. Would San Diego Gas & Electric sell or lease
the water surface and south shore lands to
the city or the state?
b. If so, what would the cost or conditions be?
3. Artificial Seaweed
The city is considering an experimental installation of
artificial seaweed. The purpose would be to build up
and retain sand on the beach. One location we are
considering is between the inlet and outlet in front of
the San Diego Gas & Electric power plant.
a. Would San Diego Gas & Electric approve such a project?
b. Would the company contribute funds for the project?
The City of Carlsbad appreciates the cooperation of San Diego
Gas & Electric in being a good neighbor and taxpayer in our
city. We look forward to working with you to resolve these
and other issues.

Mr. Aleshire had several issues he wished to discuss. They included:
1. Would SDG&E authorize the City to dredge the lagoon?
Of course, this would have to be discussed by the company.
If the dredging would be beneficial to the company, they
would probably approve. The increase of tidal flushing
could benefit the flow of water.
2. How much money would SDG&E be willing to contribute to the
dredging?
SDG&E would have to review any benefit to the customer.
The need exists to have back-up water in the lagoon. If
the jetty is blocked for any reason, the lagoon water
would be utilized until the jetty was reopened.
3. Could the year to year lease be extended?
SDG&E would have to review the liability concerns with
their risk management department.
4. Would SDG&E like to give the lagoon away?
If SDG&E were to give away the lagoon, how would this affect
the rate payers? They would consider if proposed. They
have to analyze the situation before an asset is sold. They
are still concerned about having the power plant work at
100% generation. They need the lagoon water as a back-up.
Once you give up control of property to the State, major
problems can occur. Carlsbad has done a great job of preserv-
ing their local land. SDG&E uses the lagoon for the water
resource. They are not interested in the commercial or
recreational uses.
5. Can the City use the fishing beach for public parking?
The answer will probably be yes. There may not, however,
be as many spaces as the City requested.
ATTACHMENT
Meeting with SDG&E
Page 2
6. When will SDG&E dredge the outer lagoon?
The lagoon is usually dredged in the spring between February 1
and April 15. They are proposing to dredge in the fall
because of the excess build-up of sand.
7. Would SDG&E be interested in contributing to the purchase of
seaweed?
The City is considering the purchase of $450,000 worth of
seaweed. The City will put up $450,000 as well as the
manufacturer. Mr. Aleshire wondered if SDG&E would be
willing to also contribute $150,000. SDG&E may consider,
but the build-up of sand could create a negative impact for
them. When they distribute sand onto state lands, they must
pay a $1,000 a year royalty to the State Lands Commission.
If sand builds up higher than the road, they will have to find
somewhere else to dump it. This would not be cost effective.
The City Manager would like to explore why it costs money to
place sand on state property. He believed the state was
trying to encourage the replenishment of the beaches.
8. Can the City and SDG&E exchange land at HUB park?
SDG&E is very interested in developing the land between
Cannon road and the power lines for commercial purposes.
Once Cannon Road is constructed, the agriculture will
disappear. This will mean that the Coastal Zone must be
amended. In addition, the City will need access to a
proposed boat marina.
SDG&E is going to develop a Specific Plan for this property.
This will include two plans. The first will be for the
Utility area, west of 1-5, and a non-utility region to the
east. They will hire a consultant planner to prepare the
plan in conjunction with City staff.
In addition, SDG&E will be constructing a 20" gas line under
the power lines this summer. There apparently is no problem
with building ball fields under the power lines.
SDG&E may also be interested in participating in the Assessment
District for the development of Cannon road if the area can be
used for commercial purposes.
In conclusion, if the City wishes to dredge the lagoon, they should
send a letter explaining what their intent is. In addition, if the
City asks SDG&E to give away or sell the lagoon, the reasons for
this should be stated.

RELOCATION OF HISTORICAL OIL DRILLING APPARATUS
TO LEO CARRILLO RANCHO
A recent E.I.R. has identified an old (60-70 years) piece
of oil field machinery. This equipment is located on property
west of El Camino Real, approximately 100 yards off
the street at the intersection of Dove and El Camino Real.
The Carlsbad Historical Society has expressed interest
in salvaging this item. In addition the Historical
Society has requested this item be placed at the Carrillo
Ranch Park Facility. The property owner has given the
okay to remove this item as long as written release of
liability is granted.
The cost to relocate this apparatus would be approximately
$1000 in crane and material fees. In addition staff time
to properly move this item is estimated at 40 hours.

re: Request to be placed on adjenda of Parks and Recreation meeting
Dear Mr. Bradstreet,
I am writing as a member of "Friends of Lake Calavera - Open Land Reserve"
to request that one of our members be scheduled to appear at your meeting
and be placed on your adjenda.
We are interested in preserving Lake Calavera as an entity and are explor-
ing alternatives for the lake. One such alternative would be to create
a tri-city regional park. We would like to explore this alternative and
are therefore requesting to be placed on your adjenda.
Sincerely,

Lake-draining plan dumped
By TERRY DODGERS
Staff Writer
CARLSBAD — Yielding to public
pressure and negath e reactions from
city officials, Cos a Real Water
District directors Vednesday aban-
doned plans to pull he plug on Lake
Calavera.
Director Allan Kelly, the originator
of the idea to draiii the lake for use
as a flood control icility, joined in a
unanimous vote) rescinding the
board's previous action.
Kelly indicated his proposal was
merely a trial baljoon he launched to
see if anyone caril about the lake.
"It was just a suggestion," he said.
"It doesn't make any difference to
me."
The district's proposal to drain the
lake — actually a man-made reser-
voir no longer used as part of any
drinking water system — aroused the
concern of Oceanside residents
whose homes overlook the site in
northeast Carlsbad.
Residents held meetings, signed
petitions and drafted letters opposing
the move.
"I see that it got everybody's hair
standing on end," Kelly said. "That
was the best part of it."

School official arraigned
on 1U felony charges
By WALT FRAZER
Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO
Fallbrook high
was arraigned
released on hi
— A 35-year-old
chool administrator
oday on charges of
misappropriating more than $1,000 of
school funds.
Arturo Santera was due to be
own recognizance
following the [arraignment on 10
felony counts that he appropriated
funds earmarked for the school's
migrant education program, of which
he is the directir.
According td deputy district at-
torney John Heisner, Santoya could
be sentenced to six years in state
penalties of from two to four years,
but, given the fact that he has no
prior convictions, his maximum
sentence would be in the
neighborhood of six years.
High school administrators were
unavailable for comment, but a
statement issued this morning stated
that the dsitrict was "reviewing the
charges" against Santoya, and that
the district has "cooperated with the
district attorney's office over the
past several months while at the
same time assuring that Mr. Santoya
did not have access to any monies or
financial records." ,
Sources close to the investigation
said that the original accusations
«-<i<-fa»<w4 lact Sontpmhpr and
draining plan, said the ."interest of
the people" changed his mind.
"In my own mind, I suspected it
(Kelly's proposal) was used as a
means of getting people interested in
it (the lake)," he observed.
The city, the actual owners of the
35-acre lake and about 215 acres pf
surrounding shoreline, was opposed
to the district plans because "the
presence of water maintains the in-
tegrity of the dam itself," Roger
Greer, city utilities director, said. :
If drained, the earthen dam, built
44 years ago by a private water
company that was bought out by the
city, would be vulnerable to erosion
as well as burrowing by rodents, he
explained.
"Once drained, in my opinion, 'it
would never be usable again," he
said, adding that the cost to
rehabilitate the dam would be pro-
hibitive.
Kelly's suggestion to drain the lake
arose from his concern over the
district's potential liability for arty
accidents that could occur on the
property. Under a water service con-
tract with the city, the district is
responsible for maintaining the dam
and security of the surrounding
property.
The city was unable to purchase
dam failure insurance for the site,
but the water district now has it
covered under its policy with a water
district association.
Greer said the city doesn't share
the district's concern over liability
because no claims connected with
accidents or deaths on the property
have ever been filed.

-,,•A golf course at Macario Canyon?
By HANK LITTEN
The Carlsgdbd column: fc
• I have m£t a lot of good people on
golf coure/around the world and I've
always wondered why Carlsgood
doesn't hmve a'golf course for our
citizens md tourists. Yes, La Costa's
two counes are great, Rancho Carls-
bad is excellent for the casual golfer
and the flew Olympic Resort complex
is i: fsting and excellent for prac-
tic
L. ttfe past, city planners have
been advised that a golf course is im-
practical for Macario Park and their
futur^ plans do not include one.
However, with the interest of Rick
Engineering's Bob Ladwig and Alta
Mira resident Jim Smith, your Carls-
good columnist is seeking to revive
interest in a Carlsgood golf course.
Bob's detailed plan calls for a reg-
ulation 18-hole course that would
play to a par 73 and feature some ter-
rific views of the Agua Hedionda La-
goon and the ocean over its 6,111 yds.
Having been involved in the plan-
ning and development of five golf
courses, I know that private enter-
prise is now successfully developing
golf courses with the cooperation of
cities and both sides profit from the
innovative programs at no cost to the
taxpayers. The city of Indian Wells is
.he most recent successful example
*ith its hotel and 36-hole tourist/
citizen related golf complex on city-
owned property.
We have discussed the possibility
of a golf course on city-owned land
with Mayor Casler, council members,
top city management and the parks
and recreation staff. Jim plans to
make a presentation soon before the
Parks and Recreation Commission
and would like to determine the
amount of interest Carlsgood resi-
dents have in a public golf course.
Our early indication is that the sup-
port will be tremendous. Ideally, we
would like to have the names of
several hundred citizens who will
support the program.
If you are in favor of exploring this
exciting possibility please drop me a
line at 7108 Santa Barbara.
D
Two good guys' names were omit-
ted in the composition room setting
my last column. Car Country Carls-
bad president Walt Murphy and
Tournament Chairman Don Stewart,
of Bob Baker's dealership, were the
hard workers who helped make the
Car Country-Carlsbad Chamber of
Commerce golf tournament a huge
success. The Boys and Girls Club of
Carlsbad was the happy recipient of
the excess funds.n
Good deeds are usually a labor of
love in a small community such as
Carlsgood, but it's a real shame that
often the people behind the scenes of
community events never get the
attention or credit they deserve.
Often their hours of hard work do not
result in their efforts being appreci-
ated and accepted by a lethargic
citizenry. One contemporary exanj-
ple is the acceptance of the current
Carlsbad Patrons of the Art produJt'
tion of "Harvey," which has strui-1
gled through mediocre attendance
despite tremendous raves for th«
play in its opening week. \
For the past several months, hard
working Muriel Roston, president of
the Patrons of the Arts, producer and
co-director of "Harvey," has bee*!
working almost night and day with
the myriad of activities that are so
necessary to the success of a compleji
community production like this one!.
Patron vice president Bobbie Hod;-
er has given up many an evening antf
weekend as house manager, whild
Richard Irving, the La Costa resident
whose "Wallenberg Story" wafc
nominated for several Emmys, is the
talented director who has worked
around the clock with his terrifi?
cast •
Why not call the box office at 434-

DEVIATION FROM MEDIAN DESIGN STANDARDS AS SET FORTH IN
LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES MANUAL
As part of conditions of approval for the Rising Glen
project, the developer is required to construct a
section of median in El Camino Real. The project landscape
architect has written a letter (attached) in which he
states a desire to deviate from the standard median
treatment.
In 1983 the Parks and Recreation Commission and City
Council adopted the Landscape Guidelines Manual. It
outlines a uniform standard for design of medians on
all arterial roadways. The design is a combination
of stamped concrete and planters (see attached). The
standard was developed:
1. To provide a uniform theme throughout
each arterial road.
2. For long term of maintenance for City crews.
3. To provide a safe environment for maintenance
of median plantings.
4. To lessen the possibility of irrigation water
spraying onto the street by reducing the
amount of planting in the medians.
Staff recommends denial of this request to deviate from the
Landscape Standards Guideline.
(a) There are no special circumstances related
to this project to justify a variation from
the standard. City engineering staff also
supports denial of this request.

Dear Mark,
Please make arrangements so that the Rising
Glenn Tract Development's Median Strip (at El Camino
Real) will be on the adjenda at the September 16th
Park and Recreation Committee meeting.
Again, we are asking to vary from the median
strip standards described in the May 1983 Landscape
Guidelines Manual.
We wish to vary from the standards because of the
rural nature of the area reflecting a more casual design
with more planting and a less rigid planting layout.
We feel that a random planting in conjunction with a
native material, such as river rock on a weed retarding
membrane, would be more appropriate.
We also wish to contest the planning commission^N.
'resolution No. 2284 stating that we must take the burdeY
of improving the whole median strip instead of half... J
Plea'se give me a call on these two items
Thank you for your attention to

Dear Mr. Bradst
As per our recent discussions concerning a facility for
Indoor Soccer, I would like to make the following proposal.
Indoor Soccer Of Carlsbad would like to convert one of the
tennis courts on Monroe St. (Next to Municipal Fool;1 to an
Indoor Soccer f aci111y.
The two north courts are in bad shape and need considerable
imp r ovemen t s. Due to t h e paar con d111on of t he surface ver y
tew people use them, One has already been converted to
i-'addie Tennis, and we wou. 1 d l i ke to use the otner one
1 n c! o D r b o c c e r .
Our Soccer Club would build t-•:-• court at our
..expenses,. It would have plvwood walls and artificial turf
for the playing surface. We would not remove anv fencing or
alter the existing court in any way except removal of tne
existing tennis net. The court could be removed at the
c 11 y ' s r e q u e s t o n v e r v s h o r t n o 1.1 c e .
_We woul d request use of the court -jfor at. 1 east one year, or
until we could Tina a permanent 1 acation for the cit 12en s
of Carlsbad to play Indoor Soccer.
I have attached a rough sketch and diagram of how the court
would be constructed.
Time is of the essence so the youth of the city can play
this next season. Therefore we would request anv decision
at the earliest possible date.
Thank you very much for your help and attention to this
matter.

We're now getting one-fourth as much park land for each new resident as we did in 1974
Developers' park fees too low
Ov"ver the past decade, San Diego County has
fallen behind in providing parkland for its resi-
dents.
Everyone knows that California land prices
skyrocketed in the middle and late 1970's. But
our county Department of Parks and Recreation
has been unable to keep pace because the park
fees paid by developers have remained un-
changed since 1974.
Obviously, a change in the fee structure is long
overdue. Housing prices have roughly quadru-
pled since 1974, which means that the cost of
buying parkland has gone up by a similar
amount. Since the fees have stayed the same,
we're now]getting one-fourth as much park land
for each new resident as we did in 1974.
That's unfair to everyone.
We live in one of the most desireable areas in
the nation, and growth is inevitable. But we can
; and should make new growth pay its own way by
assessing equitable fees for capital improve-
ments that will be used by new residents — like
parks, schools, roads, sewers and fire stations.
That's fair, and that will help keep San Diego
County desireable — and solvent.
Thanks in part to a controversy over a park
adjacent to a proposed condominium develop-
ment on D Street in Encinitas, the county has
finally decided to review its park fees.
(That unfortunate incident probably could
have been avoided if park fees were more realis-
tic. As it was, the Parks Department found itself
asking for only $18,000 in park fees instead of
,93-acres of land — and the neighbors were jus-
tifiably outraged.)
The county's current park fees range from $100
to $150 per dwelling unit, depending on the type
of housing. This contrasts with a range of $382 to
$818 in Carlsbad, and from $517 to $970 in Ocean-
side. The City of San Diego's fees will soon be
revised, because they are in the $150 to $200
range — and that city has already collected fees
as high as $1,400 per unit in North City West
The county Board of Supervisors will soon be
considering a proposal to increase its park fees,
and we encourage them to approve a healthy
hike to get us in the same ballpark as our neigh-
boring cities. An increase of $300 or so per dwell-
, ing unit won't price consumers out or the home
buying market, and it will make new rest
pay their fair share for services they'll need. >1^
And to assure that we don't fall a decade be-
hind again, how about reviewing these park fees
and other fees on an annual basis?
Most school boards evaluate their developers'
fees every year to be sure they are in line with,
increases in inflation. The county Board of Su-
pervisors .ought to consider the same procedure.

Mr. David Bradstreet, Director

Dear Mr. Bradstreet.
The Carlsbad Oceanside Art League (to be referred to as COAL) is seeking to enter
into an agreement with the City of Carlsbad, Parks & Recreation Department for the
use of the building known as the "Granary" now located on property known as
Magee Park.
COAL seeks to use the "Granary" as an art gallery and will conduct exhibits of
works of art by members of COAL for the enjoyment and cultural enrichment of the
public. We also wish to include in our agreement the use of certain other facilities
located at Magee Park consistent with our needs on an availability basis for the
purpose of conducting art classes or other programs for the benefit of the public.
We are prepared to provide financial assistance in the necessary renovation of
-the "Granary" with the understanding at the outset that COAL will work in conjunc-
ion with whomever is designated to be in charge of said renovation in order that
we may have our input concerning lighting, ventilation, security, etc., inasmuch
as it affects the proper exhibition of works of art. We have been informed by
Doug Duncanson that the estimated cost of renovation will be $6,000. We will be
able to provide a maximum of $3,000, or one half share whichever is less. We
will also need to know the estimated maintenance costs and the responsibility
which will be ours in that regard.
In return for our financial assistance and operation of the art gallery we wish
to be awarded a 25 year lease at $1 per year. We understand that the City of
Carlsbad does not grant exclusive use agreements and therefore are willing to
allow small groups, which have been approved by the Parks & Recreation Dept.,
to use the premises at times which will not conflict with our regular gallery
hours.. At the present time we anticipate that we will conduct gallery hours
seven days a week, from 10 AM to 5 PM«
This is COAL'S initial proposal subject to your agreement and the consent and
agreement of the members of COAL. Please let us know at your first opportunity
if the Parks & Recreation Commission require further clarification before a
lease agreement can be implemented.
