Park-in-Lieu Jim Elliott gave a verbal update regarding the status of proposed changes in park-in-lieu fees. He stated one of the areas that we need to clear up is how the park-in-lieu fees are set. Once this is established we can determine the estimated benchmark fair market value specifically for a park David Bradstreet stated that the method we are suggesting would be to take a park site in each quadrant, designate one to be appraised and that would be the appraised value in that particular quadrant from now on; to be reviewed on an annual basis. Commissioner Donovan stated that we would be starting at the other end and making the selection first and then having it appraised rather than having everything built and having to find a park site. Keith Beverly stated that what we are trying to accomplish is to get an average estimated fair market value per one acre of land in that particular quadrant based upon the quality of land we have equitable within the quadrant so we can base Wright Donovan Dahlquist Morrison Popovich Lawson MINUTES February 23, 1987 PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION COMMISSIONERS -F UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (continued) our park-in-lieu fee on that land.

Connie stated there would be an open competion to artist in counties throughout Southern California that would participate by presenting their sketches to a Selection Committee made up a member from the Arts Commission, Director of Parks and Recreation or his disignated representative, a community member, and an artist juror. The Committee would look at those proposals that would come in and select three artist who would then be paid by the City to cast a three dimensional model.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA—THE RESOURCES AGENCY GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN, Governor DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION San Diego Coast District 2680 Carlsbad-Boulevard Carlsbad, California 92008 (619) 729-8947 RECEIVED JIT.' 7 11986 June 9, 1986 David Bradstreet, Parks and Recreation Director City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Dave: You recently requested information regarding the status of approximately 4 acres of State Park land in the vicinity of Cannon Lake. The General Plan for this park unit (South Carlsbad State Beach) recommends that this property be declared surplus and be transferred to the City of Carlsbad. You specifically asked the following questions which I will answer as completely as I can at this time. 1. Is the land available? By virtue of the recommendation in the General Plan the land could be made available to the City of Carlsbad for management as a wetland/open space park area. If the City of Carlsbad formally expresses an interest in this property I would recommend to my Regional Office that the State include the property in the 1987/88 surplus property bill for legislative review and approval. 2. What is the cost of the land? 3. Is it available at no charge? It is probable that the State would be willing to transfer ownership of the property to the City at no charge. I am sure there would be conditions placed on the transfer requiring that the property be retained in public ownership for management as public park land. Until such time as a request is made by the City to the State the cost of the property to the City, if any, cannot be determined. 4. Are there any other fees associated with a land transfer? Possible costs that might be incurred by the City regarding this land transfer could be: Property survey, if required by the State, Title Search and Recording Fee. I do not believe any of these would be very substantial and ATTACHMENT B Page 2 David Bradstreet, June 9, 1986 some of this work may be able to completed by the existing city staff.

On June 16, 1986, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved in concept a site development plan that included both the City property and the subject State owned property. Prior to going ahead with the next step in the park planning process, I need to know the following: 1. Is the land available? 2. What is the cost of the land? 3. Is it available at no charge? 4. Are there any other fees associated with a land transfer? If the land is available, prior to making any.recommendation to the City I will need to do an environmental assessment to see if there are any land constraints associated with the proposed development plan. If you have any questions regarding the above, please call me at 438-5571. Sincerely, David L.
