UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (continued)
Dave Bradstreet stated Cannon Lake Park is in the CIP
program, but It is a low number, and the estimated cost
was for seven acres only as a passive development. There
were no amenities planned for that park such as a
community center, ballfield, soccer fields or tennis
courts.
Chairperson Donovan asked Ms. Hasselo ho* many people were
in these two groups, and she answered they have received
responses from 550 people interested In tennis programs
and activities who would like to see something happen in
that area.
Commissioner Regan stated she would like to make a comment
on the Minutes of the May, 1986, meeting. Since there was
no vote, and no action taken, she felt that could not be
interpreted to mean the Commission did want this to remain
a passive area. She felt this should remain an open Issue
and staff should follow through with regular planning for
parks.
Chairperson Donovan stated she would like this to appear
on a future agenda, with more information, and to proceed
with planning for this area.
Commissioner Regan reiterated her belief that the
Commission should not rule out any activity totally.
Commissioner Wright stated If they were looking for a site
for indoor soccer, or a tennis facility, they should not
rule out this area. This would not be a good area for a
youth ballfield, because of its location, but it might be
all right for tennis. Commissioner Regan stated her
desire to use this to the besf interest of the citizens.
3im Courtney, <*9H Avila, stated he would like the
Commission to keep all options open. He felt this might
be a good area for a tennis facility.
Dave Bradstreet stated he felt the consensus of the
Commission was the Cannon Lake Park area should follow the
normal process for park planning, and he would come back
with a plan.
D. Carrillo Ranch Historic Grant
Dave Bradstreet asked whether the Commissioners had read
the article regarding the grant received for the Carrillo
Ranch that appeared In the Journal on April 15th. He
stated the Historic Preservation Commission was extremely
proud they had received the grant. They had requested a
quarter of a million dollars and received $90,000,
Commissioner Lawson stated if preservation were required
of the building similar to the adobe at Stagecoach, he
would hate to see this money Just spent specifically for
that. Mr. Bradstreet answered it was not clear what the
money was to be used for, but Keith Berverly could explain
exactly what the money was to be used for.

B. Financial Status of the 1986 Triathlon
Chairperson Donovan stated this was an information item
and referred to the packet. Dave Bradstreet stated the
revenues were $26,000, with $20,000 spent; net receipts
$5,000. Chairperson Donovan asked where this money goes,
and Mr. Bradstreet stated the money collected goes into
the General Fund. He announced the Triathlon would be
held on July 13 this year.
C. Parkland Assessment
Chairperson Donovan stated she would like to know whether
the already standing Site and Planning Committee would
like to deal with this item, or should a new committee be
chosen to specifically analyze and review the four listed
items.
A. Current Parkland Inventory
8. Hosp Grove Classification
C. Larwin
D. Robertson Property
Commissioner MoCrison stated the Committees are to do this
work and she felt the Site Committee should do this.
Commissioner Morrison asked whether park inventory needed
to be consistent with the public facilities element.
Also, was public input needed rather than Just input from
the Commission. Dave Bradstreet stated staff could make
recommendations to the Commission, as it has in the past,
and the Commission could endorse those and staff would
then update the element. The Planning Commission said the
element has not be revised, and there is a need to do
this. Mr. BrJdstreet's recommendation was to have a
committee appointed, discuss the items listed, make a
report and bring it back to the Commission. The
Commission action will be to direct staff to incorporate
the changes and go through the process to have it added
into the element. This would have to go through the
Planning Commission and City Council for public input. He
stated there is a need to be careful about the balance of
park land in the different quadrants and the public would
want to speak to that.
Chairperson Donovan stated the Site Committee consisted of
Commissioners Regan, Dahiquist, Lawson and Popovich.
Three are needed, and Commissioners Lawson, Regan and
Dahiquist will serve on the Site Committee. This
Committee will work with Dave Bradstreet and will be
notified of meeting times. Mr. Bradstreet stated he
needed a motion to present this to the Committee for a
report to bring back at the next meeting or within 60
days. He said he would try for 30 days.
The Parks and Recreation Commission assigned the Parkland
Assessment to a Committee for review and coordination with
staff to prepare a report and return to the Commission
within 30 days.

NEW BUSINESS: (continued)
Mrs. Chase stated there is a proposal to increase fees as
a way of generating additional revenue and Improving the
safe operating of the vessels on the water because
conditions have changed on the Lagoon. Mrs. Chase said
she would give staff recommendations and the Commission
could consider these changes or suggest staff go back and
talk with people and have a written report next month.
Mrs. Chase referred to a letter from Scott Roberts, a
sailboard participant. This was distributed to all
Members of the Commission. This letter suggested the area
east of the buoys marking the jet ski area gives the jet
skiers a too large of an area relative to the number of
users and the board sailors too small of an area relative
to the number of users with respect to the beach area at
the east end of the lagoon. He requested moving the buoys
100 yards east to allow the colorful, quiet, non-polluting
board sailors to fully enjoy the sandy beach area at the
east end of the Lagoon. Also, due to the prevailing west
winds, it provides a safer situation.
Mrs. Chase stated the purpose of the Ordinance changes was
to ask Council to authorize the fee changes and attempt to
amend and to make some changes in the Ordinance. Some
changes would be made officially by the Commission and
Council. Mrs. Chase referred to the memorandum dated
April 10, 1987, from Carl Pope, Aquatic Supervisor, and
sent through Lynn Chase, Recreation Superintendent. This
gave the recommended changes to the Ordinance as well as
the permit fee Increases.
Commissioner Wright stated he had a question relating to
the letter regarding the boardsurflng and moving the
buoys. He asked if they were set to the maximum of the
special use. Lynn Chase stated they could be moved at any
time Parks and Recreation chose to move them. They had
enlarged the jetskl area by about 50 feet. There were two
reasons for this: at the eastern end of the Lagoon, the
siltratlon is moving in rapidly and the water Is extremely
shallow. There has also been an increase In the number of
Jet skiers. There have been requests to move them 50 feet
more to give the board sailors a larger corridor. Mrs.
Chase stated they were asking the board sailors to buy
permits, as most of them are using the Lagoon without
buying a permit. They are not allowed to use the Lagoon
on the weekends or the holidays at any time from mid-May
to mid-September. This was done In the Interest of safety
and due to the mixed use on the Lagoon.
There was discussion regarding the board sailors and the
fact that they cannot use the Lagoon after 3:00 p.m. on
the weekends when the sailboats can use the Lagoon. At
this time of the year it is difficult to judge, because
there are not as many jet skiers as there will be from May
to September. They can use the Lagoon now. The difficult
time to judge safety is 3une through September. The
Department Is willing to consider and look at the use on
the Lagoon. In response to questioning from the
Commmlssloners, Lynn Chase stated the biggest problem was
the problem of compatibility and the mixed use.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
April 20, 1987 Page 9 COMMISSIONERS
NEW BUSINESS; (continued)
Dave Bradstreet asked staff to explain to the Commission
why the buoys were relocated to the west. This was done
on the recommendation of the Lagoon Specialist, Chris
Harmon, because of the large number of Jet skiers in that
area. Also, the siltratlon encroachment makes the water
depth about two feet in that area. The east end of the
Lagoon cannot be used at low tide because the water depth
Is so low. The request to relocate the buoys 50 feet to
the east creates a problem.
Oscar Alvarez stated in the summer the problem would be
with the jet ski use. They do increase in the summertime.
The Jet skiers and the sail boarders cannot mix. One
problem is the inexperience users.
Chairperson Donovan stated it was a question of numbers
and size--and she wondered about limiting the number of
the Jet skiers. Mrs. Chase stated they could limit them,
but they would have to have a patrol man to count the
number of skiers. Chairperson Donovan continued, asking
could there be a plan to limit the number of jet skiers
and allow a certain number of sail boards.
Lynn Chase stated staff had recommended the safest thing
would be to eliminate powerboats on the Lagoon and have
nothing but passive activities. However, there was no
support from this Commission or from the City Council. If
the Commission wishes to have a more passive lagoon, they
will have to make those recommendations. The City
Attorney had recommended to eliminate the mixed uses on
the Lagoon because of the liability of the City.
Parks and Recreation Commission accepted staff
recommendation for raising the charges for permits on Agua
Hedlonda Lagoon. Along with this, the Commission asked
staff to look into changing the hours so sail boarders
might have more hours of time on the Lagoon.
The question was asked whether the patrol would allow
sailing when there are no jet skiers on the Lagoon. Staff
Indicated board sailors may not go on the Lagoon weekends
and holidays at any time from mid-May thru mid-October.
That Is what Is in effect at the present time.
Mr. Aganza addressed the Commission stating the problem Is
when the use gets heavier. He felt if the bouys were
moved, the channel for heavy use time could be made for
sail boarders. This would give them a visual area. As
far as the registration fees, he wondered what happens if
you own more than one sail board. He felt that was
something that should be addressed. Also, the suggestion
was made for Parks and Recreation to look into providing
signage. He felt signage would help a great deal.

H. Inside Washington News Article
Dave Bradstreet reported on this information item, stating
people are more active and want to promote community park
development. He read, from an article regarding the
findings of the Presidents Commission on outdoor
recreation. The parks system is moving toward
privatization, Chairperson Donovan distributed copies of
an article In Sunset Magazine, stating this was also
similar in nature to the article Mr. Bradstreet
distributed.
I. $20,000,000 General Obligation Bond
Chairperson Donovan commented the $55.00 was per 5100,000
of assessed valuation of property.
Attachment L was referred to, and staff indicated some
things would have to come off of that list. The GO Bond
group, of which Chairperson Donovan is a Member, is trying
to get things people want in a time period that is not out
of sight. Items on this list to be done within five years
are Hosp Grove purchase, sidewalks on the bluff areas,
which would be a continuation of what they are doing now,
pedistrian overpasses for Stagecoach across Rancho Santa
Fe Road in order to allow safe passage for children. This
group will probably delete Item No. 5. Chairperson
Donovan reported on the $20 million General Obligation
Bond. Commissioner Larson stated his concern with this
becoming a vehicle for special interest groups to gain
their wishes. Chairperson Donovan stated this group was
chosen by the Mayor and they are covering all areas.
There are 21 people on this Committee, they compiled a
list and deleted a good many items. This Is not the
kitchen cabinet, this is another group working on the
General Obligation Bond. The meetings are not public
meetings, but the press Is there. The $20 million figure
was only a suggested figure they had come up with to cover
the programs they felt were necessary. If you delete
three out of the six, the $20 million would decrease.
Item No. 3 was discussed, which is Macarlo Canyon
development-passive actlvittes--teen activity facility.
Chairperson Donovan stated they wanted to build a gym for
teen dances, but felt that could be deleted and the teen
dances could be held at the community center in Stagecoach
Park. The possibility of passive activities—a theater--
would be one way to get Macario Canyon Park off of the
ground.
Council had asked for a thirty-day time frame on this
list. This item was for the Commission's information
only, and Chairperson Donovan will bring back the
information to this Commission.

COMMITTEE REPORTS: (continued)
The Committee's recommendation was to prioritize the
facilities that could be placed at Larwin, with the
current understanding of the needs. It was felt that a
soccer field probably was the highest priority as far as
need in that particular area. The recommendation was made
to get the estimates back as soon js possible.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Dave Bradstreet stated Stagecoach Park Is behind schedule
because of the rain. They are hydroseeding the area
tommorow. May 30th will be the dedication, and they will
try to keep the people off of the grass for another 30
days or so. The park did come in under budget in the
amount of $150,000.

AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON - PROPOSED ORDINANCE CHANGES
BACKGROUND
A proposal for changes in Municipal Code, Chapter 11.24, known
as "Aquatic Areas and Devices" was presented to the Parks and
Recreation Commission on April 20, 1987.
The Commission approved only the fee changes and deferred the
remainder of the proposals. The Commission directed staff to
study the board sail issue. Based on the need for further study,
staff has deleted those recommended changes that pertain to the
board sail issue.
This memorandum is a request to have the Commission review the
proposed changes necessary for the orderly conduct of the Lagoon
Enforcement Program, which are attached; no new changes have been
added to those deferred on April 20th.
FISCAL IMPACT
These changes have zero fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The changes proposed are written to: clarify meanings, correct
wording, to reduce the total number of power vessels on the water
at any one time, to allow power vessel use in the Middle Lagoon
for rescue and approved research and to put into written form,
certain procedures for safer water skiing activity. It is noted
that the procedures are unchanged from the actual procedures in
effect by all boaters for the past two years.
Staff anticipates additional changes will be needed in the near
future. It is considered advisable to move ahead with the proposed
changes being requested at this time; these changes are considered
necessary and non-controversial.
The attachment shows the Municipal Code wording as "Current" and the
new proposed wording typed in bold as "Proposed". SEE ATTACHMENT "A"
SUMMARY
The proposed ordinance changes are needed to clean-up the current
wording, to improve the safety of boating activity, and to clarify
the Lagoon permit requirements.

that those who wish to may request, and pay for, copies.
We assume most people do not want nor will read the documents.
In fact, it may be more than you want to know about Board sailing!
Staff will use diagrams and overhead projections during the
presentation to illustrate the alternatives suggested in this
report.
If you have questions, please feel free to call me at my new

AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON - BOARD SAIL STUDY REPORT
Background
The Parks and Recreation Department has received verbal and written
requests from boardsailors to allow them on Agua Hedionda Lagoon
weekends and holidays May 24 to October 1. Boardsailors would like
to have a corridor in the eastern portion of the lagoon for this
use. ATTACHMENT "A"
A chronology of board sailing requests and the actions of the Commission
and City Council are attached as reference material; the Commission
minutes beginning 10/5/82 provide insight into the safety concerns
for mixed traffic on the lagoon. ATTACHMENT "B"
On July 5, 1983 the City Council directed staff to prepare documents
to implement "allowing board sailing weekdays only from May 24 to
October 1 and any time from October 2 to May 23". ATTACHMENT "C"
ORDINANCE NO. 3161 amended Chapter 11.24 Section 11.24.032 (3) to
read: "No person shall operate a non-power boat, including but not
limited to sailboats, rowboats, board sails or canoes, on the Inner
Lagoon during any period of exclusive power boat use". ATTACHMENT "D"
The interpretation of Ordinance No. 3161, adopted 8/2/83 has been
questioned as to the wording to see if board sailing may be on the
Lagoon after 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays during
the "exclusive power boat use period". The matter has been referred
to the City Attorney's office for advice. Ordinance No. 3153 contains
the "exclusive use" clause; a copy of this Ordinance is included in
the chronology attachments .See Attachment B, page (3)
Since September, 1983 the Lagoon Patrol has enforced the Council's
action. This report and the alternatives suggested are based on
the understanding that board sailing is allowed on "weekdays only"
May 24 to October 1.
At the April 20, 1987 meeting, the Commission directed staff to study
usage, how others deal with mixed boating, and to see if a compromise
could be reached to accommodate the request. Staff was asked to
report on alternatives at the May 18 Commission meeting.
Staff met with a few lagoon users, met with Greg Rusing (Snug Harbor
Marina Operator), and met with Steve Lees (an active board sailor)
as part of the study.
In addition, staff conducted a survey of harbors, lakes, and marinas
from San Diego to Morro Bay to learn how others accommodate the mixed use,

Alternatives
Staff prepared alternatives for consideration and action by the
Commission.
Alternatives 1-4 are suggested as possible solutions for modifying
the "Exclusive Use" on a trial basis, May 24 to October 1, 1987 with
the condition that the Patrol Specialist be given the authority to
terminate use by any user or group of users, to ensuring safe boating.
The details of each alternative and discussion of pros and cons are
included under "Discussion and Analysis".
Alternative #1;
Allow board sails on the lagoon starting at 3:00 p.m. on
weekends/holidays;
A new corridor, approximately 80 yards wide to be designated for use
of boardsailors during the weekends/holiday period, extending from
the Bristol Cove public access across the lagoon to the south
shoreline; this corridor may be used by Jet Skiers on weekends/holidays
prior to 2:00 p.m. ATTACHMENT "E"
Alternative #2;
Designate the eastern one third of the Lagoon as "All Passive", for
exclusive use by board sails, sail boats, row boats, canoes, kayaks,
and allow fishing around the shoreline;
Jet Skis have exclusive use of Snug Harbor Marina, fron the sandbar,
north to the 5 miles per hours buoys and excluding a corridor for
vessel launch and transit through the eastern and western channels.
The maximum number of jet skis allowed in the Marina area at any one
time shall be initially set at 10 during the trial period; jet skis
shall follow the counter clockwise traffic pattern; the Jet Ski speed
in the Marina area shall be a maximum of approximately 30 miles per
hour.
All water skiing take-off/drop-off will occur south of the sandbar
and west of the Passive Use area.
Alternative #3;
As a modification to Alternative #2, the marina area remains as
presently used and jet skis are relocated to the large area inside
the water ski traffic patterns. Buoys will designate the separation
of water ski and jet ski areas, south of the sandbar and east to the
All Passive zone.
May 7, 1987
David Bradstreet
Page Three
Alternative #4;
Selectively exclude certain types of vessels by implementing one
of the following options:
a. Power vessels only
b. Passive vessels only
c. No power vessel engines greater than "xx" horsepower
Alternative #5;
No change in existing mixed use; the "Exclusive Use" rule remains.
Fiscal Impact;
Alternative #1; Net Gain +$265-500
By adding the boardsail corridor and allowing use on weekends/
holidays it will attract more boardsails. A 50% increase in board
sail annual permits would net an increase of $265; no decrease
in revenue is anticipated by other types of permits.
Alternative #2; Net Loss -$2,290
By designating the eastern one third of the lagoon as "Passive
Use only", a significant increase (75% increase = +$390) in
board sail permits may occur; however, the relocation of jet skis
to a smaller area and limiting the maximum number of users could
cause a 50% decrease in jet ski permit revenue (50% decrease =
$750) and a 25% decrease in power vessel permit revenues (25%
decrease = -$1,546).
Alternative #3; Net Loss -$840
The modification of having a jet ski area inside the water skiing
area has less of a negative impact on the permit revenue; the 75%
increase in board sail permit fees remains +$390; the jet ski revenue
is projected as a minor drop (25% decrease = -$325); it must be
anticipated that a minor drop in permit sales to power boats could
occur (10% decrease = -$600).
Alternative #4; Net Effect Varies
a. If only power vessel permits were issued, the revenue could
increase slightly by $800 (10% increase = +$800).
b. If only passive vessel permits were issued the revenue would
drop significantly (decrease = -$7,500); however, the Lagoon
Enforcement Program could be eliminated at a cost savings of
-$19,000. It could be expected to see an increase in permits

Alternative #4 (Cont.);
sold to passive vessels. At the proposed rate of $15/$20 for the
annual resident/non-resident permit fee, a 100% increase in permit
sales would be a total revenue of $1,480.
c. No estimates available.
Alternative #5; Net Gain/Loss = 0
No changes in revenue anticipated.
Discussion and Analysis;
1. Pros and Cons of Alternatives #1 - #5
Alternative #1
Board sailors presently have the opportunity to be on the Lagoon
326 days and they are excluded 39 days. If a corridor is created
for their exclusive use on weekends and holidays after 3:00 p.m.
this alternative is a workable compromise. The change in revenue
is insignificant, as discussed.
The board sailors ability to remain in the corridor depends on wind
conditions and the persons skill level.
The Special Use Area is approximately 1,600 feet long (east/west)
and 1,200 feet wide (north/south). The depth of this 46 acres is
three feet minimum.
The jet skiers and water skiers would each lose approximately 25
yards of existing area on either side of the buoys. If this alternative
were chosen, it may be feasible to set up the corridor entirely within
the existing special use area; the corridor could be used by jet
skiers prior to the 3:00 p.m. time of use on weekends and holidays
during the May 24 to October 1 period.
Alternative #2
The current ordinance states that jet skis will be limited to the
Snug Harbor area on weekends/holidays. In 1984, the P&R Department,
in the interest of safe boating, informally changed the requirement
and all jet skis are in the "Special Use Area".
To relocate all jet skis to the Marina area, north of the sandbar
will require additional time and effort of the Patrol to ensure the
maximum number of jet skis '(10 only, on a trial basis) and the transit
of power vessels thorugh the east and west channels is a safe use of
the area.
May 7, 1987
David Bradstreet
Page Five
As the greatest number of jet skiers observed on weekends and
holidays are those taking lessons or renting jet skis from the
Marina. The Marina Operator can exercise increased supervision
of the jet skiers making this an attractive alternative.
Some complaints can be anticipated by having all water skiers
take-off from the areas south and west of the sandbar.
All "in-coming" and "continuing thru" traffic presently has
right-of-way over taking-off skiers.
Alternative #3:
This alternative has less negative impact and is considered a
safer alternative than the previous one.
The narrowness of the west channel tends to limit the potential
conflict of power boats and jet skiers where they would be entering
their own space; buoys would be used to designate the area for
water skiing from the jet skiing.
Alternative #4;
The impact of selectively excluding any of the user groups is
going to cause complaints, dependent upon the choice of which
users/type of vessels are allowed and excluded.
As the siltration around the lagoon increases and the sandbar
continues to increase in'size, the Department recognizes the need
to consider such a change in use and/or dredge.
There are no plans to dredge the lagoon at this time. The City's
portion of the cost to dredge and improve the lagoon in 1984 was
approximately one million dollars.
Alternative #5;
The lagoon is presently considered a safe mix of boating. The safety
record is satisfactory and the Lagoon Enforcement Program is a cost
effective program.
The decision to make no change will impact the board sailors only.
They will be denied access to the lagoon for a total of 39 days a year,
The choice of this alternative is not one of financial considerations;
it is based solely on the concern for safety in a mixed use.
2. Lagoon User Input
Staff met with lagoon users to get some reactions and input in an
effort to reach a compromise to allow additional use by boardsailors.
Notes of that meeting were distributed to those involved, including
Greg Rusing, Snug Harbor Marine Operator and Steve Lees, boardsailor.

3. Survey of other Agencies (Mixed Boating)
The survey included 11 agencies. Two were eliminated from the
survey results as non-applicable. Nine were compared to Carlsbad's
Lagoon use.
The survey showed 8 out of 9 agencies had mixed use with all three
types of vessels (power, jet ski, board sail); all agencies surveyed
had significantly greater water surface area for the mixed use of
vessels.
Dana Point restricts the use of both jet skis and boardsails on
weekends and holidays, all year.
Cabrillo Marine designates power and jet ski vessels may transit
only through the Marina area on their way to the open ocean.
Mission Bay and Dana Point provide separate areas for use by
board sails, jet skis, or water skiers; however, users are not
restricted to those designated special use areas.
ATTACHMENT "G"
4. Board Sail Access
The City has only 2 public access sites for walk-in traffic, and
neither one is open for use at the present time. Hoover Street
access is temporarily closed due to the development of adjacent
parces; Cove Drive access is temporarily closed unitl improvements
can be made for passage to the water.
The Snug Harbor Marina Operator has offered boardsailors free access
through the Marina; the launching of board sails from the Marina
area is considered undesirable by everyone due to wind conditions,
parking problems, and the distance to/from the Special Use Area
that the boardsailors prefer.
At some future date, boardsailors will have legal access east of
Bristol Cove development; the City Planning Department projects
no development will occur in the next 2 years; therefore, no public
access east of Bristol Cove development will be available for the
next two or more years. The City's Local Coastal Plan (LCP) specifies
a pedestrian access plan, land use plan, and bike route plan.

5. Lagoon Permit Program - Calendar Year 1986
Board Sail Permits: 42 total Revenue = $520
20 @ $10 Residents
22 @ $15 Non-residents
Power Boat Permits: 239 total Revenue = $6,185
92 @ $20 Residents
147 @ $30 Non-residents
Jet Ski Permits: 61 total Revenue = $1,300
41 @ $20 Residents
20 @ $30 Non-residents
Sail Boat Permits were considered an insignficant component in the
comparisons and were not included. For information only, the total
number of sail boat permits sold was 9 residents @ $30 for a total
revenue of $170.
6. Vessel Observations by Lagoon Patrol - Calendar Year 1986
These statistics are included for information only; the numbers of
vessels observed is not considered a valid statistic for comparison
or measure of the public interest in using the lagoon. No count of
users has been made hourly. The Patrol Specialist is on duty 8-10
hours on weekends and holidays, and 4 or more hours only 3 weekdays
during the seasonal heavy use period of the week prior to Easter
through mid-September.

7. Summary and Conclusions
Agua Hedionda Lagoon is a unique facility; no other agency contacted
in this study has such a small area with mixed use; others have the
luxury of setting aside specific use area for various activities or
have no problems of mixed use; one location (Dana Point) restricts
boardsailing on weekends and holidays, all year long compared to
Carlsbad's 39 day exclusion.
The greatest use by recreational users continues to be the power
vessels. Board sailing and other passive activities are observed
as increasing over past years demand.
The City is obligated to conduct an "Enforcement Program" as a means
of improving safe mixed use and to see that users are financially
responsible through by monitoring a liability insurance requirement.
If the Commission and Council wishes to change the existing mixed
use, then four alternatives have been suggested. The safety aspects
of any of the changes can only be speculative; a trial period during
the period of May 24 to October 1 would provide better evaluation.

Dear Commission Members,
As I am unable to attend the meeting this evening, 1 thank you -For this
opportunity to voice a suggestion in writing. I would appreciate it if
you could give this due consideration at the appropriate time this
evening .
Yesterday I, along with several dozen other families, were sailing at the
Car-lsbad lagoon when two things became apparent:
1. I need to get a permit to sail there, which I intend to do
i mmedi at el y .
2. The area east of the bouys marking the jet ski area gives the jet
skiers too large an area relative to the number of users and the
boardsailors too small an area relative to the number of users with
respect to the beach area at the east end of the lagoon.
F'lease consider moving the bouys 1OO yards east to allow the colorful,
quiet, non-polluting families that boardsail to fully enjoy the sandy
beach area at the east end of the lagoon. Also, due to the prevailing
viest wind, it provides a safer situation.

TO: City of Carlsbad
Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: North County Boardsailing Association
SUBJECT: Proposal for Amendment to City Ordinance 11.24
"Aquatic Areas and Devices"
The North County Boardsailing Association (NCBA) is a group of area
residents organized to promote the sport of boardsailing by acting
as liaison between boardsailors and public officials. We believe
that a minor amendment to the Municipal Code would provide a safe,
quiet, recreational opportunity for sailboard enthusiasts which will
be compatible with other uses on the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon during the
summer season. This group is primarily concerned with City Ordinance
weekends and holidays, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., from May 24th
to October 1st.
The NCBA is aware of the water safety concerns associated with joint
use of the inner lagoon during periods of peak activity, however, we
feel that the above Ordinance is unnecessarily discriminatory. Board-
sailing itself is a safe, family oriented sport which is not harmful to
the environment and is aesthetically pleasing to the surrounding area
(please see attachments). We have enjoyed unrestricted use of the
inner lagoon during the winter season and are not aware of any hazards
or accidents involving sailboards since the existing Ordinance was
implemented in 1983. Shared use of the special use area at the east
end of the lagoon could be an acceptable compromise that would not
conflict with the powerboat traffic pattern.
The undersigned respectfully requests your consideration of the follow-
ing proposals to amend Municipal Code Section 11.24.032(1):
1. Add a second buoy line east of Marina Drive to create
a slightly larger, divided, special use area which
would allow boardsailing adjacent to the jet ski area
during the high use days. Sailors and/or jet skiers
could be permitted to use the entire special use area
in the absence of the other. (Please see Attachment
#2).

ITEM EXPLANATION
For the past several years board sail enthusiasts have requested to use the
inner portion of Agua Hedionda Lagoon for their fast-growing passive aquatic
sport.
The Parks & Recreation Commission appointed a committee to review and explore
the feasibility of incorporating this activity into the already existing uses
of the lagoon.
The Committee met with individuals that represent board sailers and found the
following:
1. Doard sailing is one of the fastest growing sports in the
2. It is a relatively inexpensive and quiet activity.
3. They dc not cause pollutants.
4. They are more maneuverable than sail boats.
5. They have better visibility than sail boats.
6. Power boat usage is on a downward trend, as indicated below:

BOARD SAIL ISSUE
As a means to get input from participants, we scheduled an
informal meeting for Wednesday, April 25, 5:00 p.m. at the
Harding Center meeting room.
Those present were asked their opinion on the impact of and
recommendation for boardsails on the lagoon on weekends and
holidays during the period of May 24 thru Oct 1, approximately.
Notes taken at that meeting will be distributed to all interested
parties, including Steve Lees and Greg Rusing.
No decisions were made at that meeting; some action planning was
accomplished.
As discussed, we will separate the boardsail issue from the
other proposed ordinance changes for further study. We will
request Commission considerations of the non-boardsail related
ordinance changes at the May 18 Commission meeting.
We anticipate it may take another month to pull together and
finalize a solution to the Boardsail issue. It is important
to notify and include all those who may be impacted by the issue.

for 2 or more years, depending upon development.
10. Proposal to look into use of middle lagoon for beginning
boardsailers. It was noted by staff that public access is
available, but not built or improved through the Papagayo
development.
11. Proposal that jet skiers use only the lagoon area north of the
sandbar, per existing ordinance; staff noted that in the interest
of safety, jet skiers were informally re-located to the eastern
end of the lagoon as increased use required a larger and separate
area.
12. Staff recommends that any ordinance proposal be worded to give
final discretionary control of the mixed use (and/or termination)
to the Patrol Specialist.
The Patrol Specialist provided several copies of a letter to the
City and Commission from North County Boardsailing Association,
(dated 4/23; received 4/28). The letter was a draft with three
alternatives; it was noted by Oscar Alvarez, Patrol Specialist,
that the group of boardsailers he talked to preferred the first
alternative. That alternative is to provide a separate corridor
for boardsailers, adjacent to and west of the special use area.
ATTACHMENT "F" (2)
Oscar outlined a modification to the straight line corridor that
would accommodate the public walk-in boardsail access at Cove
Drive (see attachment).
Staff noted that the jet skiers and the waterskiers would both have
to "give a little" and that legal public access and safe use remains
a consideration and a concern.
Staff proposed an action plan to:
1. Check into the Papagayo public access
2. Check into obtaining an advance approval for 50 ft wide public
access (instead of 2+ years)
3. Consider relocating jet skiers to area north of the sandbar
4. Consider proposal for the modified corridors for weekend seasonal
use by both jet skiers and boardsailers
5. See what improvements can be made to Cove Drive public access.
Lynn Chase summarized the discussion and action plan. A copy of the
notes of this meeting will be sent to those present and discussed
with other interested persons including Steve Lees, Greg Rusing,
the Parks and Recreation Director and Commissioners.
Those present were invited to attend future meetings and, in particular,
to attend the next Commision Meeting on Monday, May 18, 5:00 p.m. at
the City Council Chamber.
Meeting broke up at approximately 6:20 p.m.

April 23, 1987
TO: City of Carlsbad
Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: North County Boardsailing Association
SUBJECT: Proposal for Amendment to City Ordinance 11.24
"Aquatic Areas and Devices"
The North County Boardsailing Association (NCBA) is a group of area
residents organized to promote the sport of boardsailing by acting
as liaison between boardsailors and public officials. We believe that
a minor amendment to the Municipal Code would provide a safe, quiet,
recreational opportunity for sailboard enthusiasts which will be
compatible with other uses on the Agua Hedionda Lagoon during the
summer season. This group is primarily concerned with City Ordinance
11.24.032(2) exclusive powerboat/jet ski use of the inner lagoon on
weekends and holidays, between 5:00 AM and 3:00 PM, from May 24th to
October 1st.
The NCBA is aware of the water safety concerns associated with joint use
of the inner lagoon during periods of peak activity, however, we feel
that the above Ordinance is unnecessarily discriminatory. Boardsailing
itself is a safe, family oriented sport which is not harmful to the
environment and is aesthetically pleasing to the surrounding area
(please see attachments). We have enjoyed unrestricted use of the
inner lagoon during the winter season and are not aware of any hazards
or accidents involving sailboards since the existing Ordinance was
implemented in 1983. Shared use of the special use area at the east
end of the lagoon could be an acceptable compromise that would not
conflict with the powerboat traffic pattern.
The undersigned respectfully requests your consideration of the follow-
ing proposals to amend Municipal Code Section 11;24.032(1):
1. Add a second buoy line -east of Marina Drive to create
a slightly larger, divided, special use area which
would allow boardsailing adjacent to the jet ski area
during the high use days. Sailors and/or jet skiers
could be permitted to use the entire special use area
in the absence of the other. (Please see Attachment
#2).
2. Provide for exclusive use of the special use area by jet
skiers prior to 2:00 PM on weekends and holidays, between
May 24th and October 1st, and permit passive use after
2:00 PM.
ATTACHMENT "F" (4)
3. Alternate use of the special use area hourly, between jet skis
and passive vessels.
The above proposals are listed in order of the preference of the North
County Board Sailors Association, however, any of' the above changes would
be preferable to existing regulation.
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.

Reque3t to conduct Wind-Surfing Classes on Agua Tledionda
Director Bradstreet gave a staff report on the matter.
Mr. Steve Bulger, IWSS Certified Instructor, representing
Internntinal Windsurfer Sailing Schools, addressed the
Commission. Mr. Bulger gave a presentation on- the
matter, and indicated that they are request ing- approval
from the City to use the Agua Hedionda inner Lagoon as a
teaching and rental site for the International
Windsurfing Sailing School classes.
March 15, 1982 Page 3 COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Bulger continued his presentation, indicating that
the City would be insured, at no cost to the City. He
added that he is proposing the sport be re-established on
the lagoon, with the possibility of seasonal permits.
Mr. Mike Oddi, Supervisor Instructor for the International
Windsurfer Sailing Schools at Mission Bay in San Diego,
addressed the Commission. Mr. Oddi discussed safety
training, and indicated th-at out of approximately 2000
students, there have been no accidents. He added that
the sport would also provide revenue for the City, and
requested Commission consideration of same.
Commissioner McKee expressed concern with regard to
limited launch access, and restricted water space. He
suggested that if the desire of the Commission was to
approve the request, it should be conditioned to restrict
the use to specific times.
Mr: Bulger indicated he has been in contact with Mr. Dave
Sammons, Manager of .the lagoon, who has agreed to rope
off a secton of the lagoon to accomodate the windsurfing
classes.
Commission discussion related to safety hazards with
regard to joint usage of the lagoon, and the feasibility .
of using the middle lagoon which is leased to the City
and the YMCA by SnG&E.
Commissioner McKee expressed concern with regard to joint
usage, but agreed that everyone should be accomodated.
In discussion with the audience, it was suggested that the
use be approved for a time specific during tht day,
similar' to the operation at Mission Bay, and that rules
and regulations be set for sailing and sailboating.
Concern was expressed that the lagoon is monopolized by
the power-boaters, and an equitable solution to the matter
was requested.
In response to Commission query regarding fees, Mr. Oddi
indicated that the IWSS charges $60.00 for the classes,
which consist of two 3-hour sessions, with four students
at a time. He added that the students spend a total of 1
and 1/2 hours on the water.
Council Member Lewis suggested that Staff contact Mr.
Dave Rammons to discuss an equitable arrangement for
parking.
Following discussion, the Commission directed Staff to
further study the matter, and make recommendations to
provide time for the sport on the inner or middle
lagoons.

With the aid of wall exhibits outlining the staff
recommended alternatives, David Bradstreet gave a staff
report on the matter, indicating that Staff is opposed to
relinquishing the lease to SDG&E for the middle lagoon-.
He added that Staff is recommending alternative "A".
A citizen expressed concern that alternative "A" would
require a windsurfer to sail through the skiing.area.
Mr. D. Thomas addressed the Commission, and suggested that
consideration be given' to changing the eastern boundaries
in Alternative "C", so the jet skis will not go through
the boat pattern.
Mr. Craig Libuse addressed the Commission and suggested
the $10.00 launching fee include a parking sticker or an
assigned parking space.
Mr. Steve Lees addressed the Commission, and indicated
that the issuu of mixed use if mitigated in Alternatives
"A" and "B". He added that I he owner of the Jave Murni
Restaurant is willing to provide launching at a lesser
fc«.
Mr. Jack,Ross addressed the Commission. Mr. Ross
indicated that he has had some difficulty with fishermen
in the small lagoon. He expressed his opinion that the
back lagoon area is- best for sailing, and indicated he
does not feel the SDG&E alternative is a viable one. He
added that the front portion is not capable of supporting
sailboard activity as it is very small, and when the wind
is strong it is a difficult place to sail.
Mr. Dave Sammons, General Manager of Snug Harbor Marina,
addressed the Commission. Mr. Sammons stressed that jet
skiis and windsurfers cannot be mixed. He requested
approval of alternative "B"; however, indicated that the
ski area as outlined on the proposed map is too small
fpr power boating, and suggested it be modified to bring
the jet skiis into the sand bar area.
Commission discussion related to the staff provided
alternatives.
The Commission approved alternative "C" with the jet ski
area to be in the Snug Harbor area only, recommended that
the hours remain the same for sailing, that the middle
lagoon continue to be leased by the -City for sub-lease to
the YMCA, that the City lease the western lagoon from
SCG&F for non-tno tori zed uses, and that a $10.00 permit fee
be eh--r"->o' to i'ind ^urferr- or ."i-nilnr devices.

June 28, 1982
5:00 P.M.
City Council Conference Room COMMISSIONERS
OLD BUSINESS:
1. BOARD SAILING REQUEST.
Dave Bradstreet, the Parks and Recreation Director gave a
brief staff report on the matter. He indicated that he
had received a request from board sailing enthusiasts that
the Commission consider recommending that they be allowed
to use a portion of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
Mr. Bradstreet distributed to the Commission Members
copies of the Notice to Boaters, the current, regulations
for the use the for Agua Hedionda Lagoon. He then
explained that jet skis are now being allowed during the
week end via administrative approval by himself if they
are taken by boat to the far end of the lagoon.
Mr. Bradstreet continued by stating that the lagoon now
has less use by power boats than before, and that there
have not been any more accidents. He indicated that the
jet ski activity and passive types of aquatic activities
have expressed desire to use the lagoon.
He indicated that the revenue from the lagoon has been
decreasing, and the greatest part of the money budgeted
for the lagoon was for police salaries (80%). He
continued that the police are forthcoming with a
recommendation to stop the patrol on the lagoon by a
policeman and instead hire a recreation specialist with
all the necessary skills. This person would carry a radio
to be able to contact the police department if need be,
but he indicated that the savings would make the program
self sustaining.
June 28, 1982 Page 2 COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Boone commenced on the fact that the lagoon
is now getting less use, and expressed concern that this
was not the intent of establishing the regulations for its
use.
Council Liaison Lewis commented that the liability
question has much to do with the decline in the use of the
lagoon.
Commissioner Dahlquist inquired as to why those using
Mission Bay are not required to have insurance.
Mr. Bradstreet responded that insurance is not required on
Mission Bay, due to the fact that it has public access and
is open to the ocean, and is State waters. But he
indicated that Dr. Sarkaria, now as a private property
owner can and is requiring those launching at Snug Harbor
to have insurance.
Mr. Bradstreet referenced 3 proposals from the last
meeting, those being:
A. The windsurfer proposal
B. The Bristol Cove Homeowners proposal
C. The SDG&E proposal
He indicated that Proposal C would aid the City by
providing a place for board sailers and sailing
enthusiasts instead of letting them use the large lagoon.
Mr. Bradstreet indicated that staff did not want a mixed
use on the lagoon at the same time because the City's
insurance carrier has recommended that the mixed use be
eliminated.
Mr. Bradstreet expounded on the Proposal C, which included
that YMCA/City lease be terminated, and that SDG&E lease
the water rights of the middle lagoon to YMCA, and the jet
ski area be put into Snug Harbor, making Snug Harbor 5 mph
for power boats and skis, and that boats would only pick
up and drop off skiers at Snug Harbor, and that skiers be
allowed to use the middle section of the large lagoon. He
indicated that this was suggested because of the dangerous
condition of the sand bar and the fact that many boats
were having problems with it.
Mr. Bradstreet indicated that SDG&E would only let the
outer lagoon be used if the City would agree to take over
the entire liability for the outer lagoon and manage and
.patrol it and take over the fishing beach. He also
indicated that SDG&E indicated that they might provide
more parking areas also.
June 28, 1982 Page 3 COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Bradstreet indicated that staff felt it did not want
to enter into this type of agreement at this time, but
that they would like to keep the door open, due to the
fact that the State is in the process to revamp parking
and access in the beach areas within the next two years
and that the bridge along Carlsbad Boulevard over the
Lagoon is in need of repair or replacement and that the
City has a grant to do so. He indicated that the grant
specifies that the bridge must be four lanes, which would
eliminate most of the parking, and Lhe State and SDG&E do
not want the bridge to be four lanes.
Mr. Bradstreet commented that the board sailers could go
the SDG&E to work out an agreement to use the outer
lagoon, but that the board sailers and sailers are not
interested in doing this.
Mr. Bradstreet introduced a new proposal; that the
outer lagoon continue being off limits, that the City
continue to lease the middle lagoon from SDG&E, and that
the City tell the YMCA does not have any right to use the
water and if they continue to charge the City, we will
charge them each year to use the water; and that board
sailers and sailers be allowed a special area in the
eastern end of the lagoon; take jet skis and put them into
Snug Harbor; put buoys along the eastern area from Bristol
Cove.
Mr. Bradstreet indicated that the biggest problem with
allowing board sailers on the eastern end of the lagoon is
the problem of access. He indicated that possible access
could be through the Kamar property along the lagoon, east
of Bristol Cove.
Council Member Lewis indicated that he felt that the sand
bar may not be a problem for persons who use the lagoon
all the time, but that the out of towners who do not know
the lagoon have problems with it.
Commissioner Donovan inquired if access could be gotten
for sailers from Java Murni.
Steve Lees addressed the Commission, and indicated that he
had talked to the owner of Java Murni, who had expressed
agreement to allow the sail boards and boats to launch
from his property.
He indicated the money currently being made by the City
from the launch and permits for power boats is decreasing
and suggested that the City could increase its revenue
from rental fleets of sail boats and instruction of
sailing and sail boarding of hundreds of dollars a day.
Dave Samraons, the operator/manager of the Snug Harbor
Marina indicated that the low tides in the Snug Harbor
area have caused problems with boats in the shallow
water. He added that is the reason for suggesting that the
jet skis be allowed in that area since they can manuver in
shallow water without the nrohl PHIR thnr h'vfe h->v«

It was moved that the Commission accept the proposal of
the Parks and Recreation Director, with the exception of
board sailing on the eastern lagoon. The motion died for
lack of a second.
It was moved that the Commission accept the proposal of
staff to allow board sailers on the eastern lagoon on a
trial basis for 30 days from the time that Council
approves the matter. The motion failed due to lack of a
majority.
It was moved that sail boarding not be allowed on the
eastern lagoon, and that something be worked out with the
YMCA so that sail boards would have access in the middle
lagoon, and that jet skiing remain at the very eastern end
of the lagoon, so that jet skiing and water skiing would
not be mixed and that the speed limit remain 5 mph in the
Snug Harbor area. The motion failed due to lack of a
majority.
It was moved that sail boards not be allowed on the
eastern lagoon, that an agreement be worked out with the
YMCA for sail boarding on the middle lagoon, require a 5
mph speed limit for power boats in the Snug Harbor area,
allow jet skis in the Snug Harbor Area. The motion died
for lack of a second.
It was moved that no sail boards be allowed on the inner
lagoon, that the speed limit on Snug Harbor be 5 mhp for
power boats, that the operator be required to put up bouys
for a boat lane, that there be no start ups in the 5 mph
area, and that jet skis be allowed in the Snug Harbor
area, and that staff work with the YMCA for sail boarding
in the middle lagoon.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Ordinance
the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
No.amendino Chanter 11.24 of
The actions to be taken include:
1. Permit board-sailing instruction in the middle lanoon at Agua Hedionda.
2. Reduce the speed limit in Snug Harbor to 5 mph for any power boat or
boats pulling water skis. In addition, the marina operator will be
required to purchase buoys, which will be installed by the City, at
the eastern section of Snug Harbor to create a boat lane.
3. Relocate the jet skis from the east end of the lagoon to Snug Harbor.
4. Transfer the lagoon-enforcement program from the Police Department to
Parks and Recreation.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Board-sail enthusiasts have requested to use the eastern section of Agua
Hedionda Lagoon. They contend that oower boat usage is down, and with
proper controls, board-sailing could be compatible with the existing use.
The Parks and Recreation Commission indicated that even though usage of the
lagoon has been declining, increasing mixture would be hazardous and could
increase the City's liability. The Commission did recommend that board-
sailing instruction would be permitted in the middle lagoon.
Because of shallow water at low tides (sandbar), congestion, narrow entry
way, and unfamiliarity of the area, it is recommended that the speed limit
for power boats be limited to 5 mph in Snug Harbor.
Also, for better supervision and control, it is suggested that the jet ski
activity be relocated from the eastern section of the east lagoon to the
Snug Harbor area. The manager of Snug Harbor feels that jet skis are more
maneuverable than power boats, and they would not encounter any problems
with the sandbar conditions.
The Police Department has reported that they are short of personnel and
believe that because of the decrease in the lagoon use, the enforcement
program can now be handled by the Parks and Recreation Department. It is
recommended that a trained specialist in boat operation, public relations,
life saving certificates and first aid abilities be employed for the next
season. This position will have no citation or arresting powers but will
be equipped with a portable radio to contact the Police Department in the
event of emergencies and/or major problems. This new program would save
approximately $7,600 per year in salaries.

MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REVISION.
Dave Bradstreet, Parks & Recreation Director, gave a staff
report on the matter as contained in the Agenda Bill.
With the aid of wall exhibits, he explained the reasons
for the suggested revisions, and the opposition from
boaters and skiers to the revisions.
Council recognized Mr. Mark W. Reed, 4705 Marina Drive,
Carlsbad. Mr. Reed stated he has been skiing on the
lagoon for the past eight years. He expressed the
opinion that the proposed revision would be dangerous in
that skiers would be taking off at a 90 degree angle into
the ski lane. Further, in the evening, those taking off
would be looking into the sun and could not see oncoming
skiers which would cause accidents. He further stated
the proposal would be denying skiers access to Snug
Harbor and the facilities even though they had paid all
the required fees.
Council recognized Mr. Jerry Rombotis, 1730 Calavo Court,
Carlsbad. Mr. Rombotis expressed support for the comment
of Mr. Reed. He agreed that there is a safety problem on
weekends, but noted that during the week there are few
boats and no safety problems. He expressed support of
staff's -alternative #5 which would limit power boats
in Snug Harbor on weekends only. He also stated the
matter should be publicized more prior to Council taking
any action.
Council recognized Mr. William A. Gaarde, 8812 Westmore
Road, San Diego. Mr. Gaarde stated he represented a
group of concerned boaters and skiers and presented
Council with a petition containing 244 signatures in
opposition to the proposed revision regarding power boats
and skiers use of the Snug Harbor area of the lagoon.
He distributed a copy of an outline of his comments on
the matter and read same.
Council Member Lewis indicated he had skied on the lagoon
since 1968, and the majority of the accidents that have
occurred have been in the Snug Harbor area. He stated
when there are a lot of boats on the lagoon, it is
dangerous. He also expressed the opinion that it would
be more appropriate to have jet ski is in the Snug Harbor
area since there would be better supervision for them.
Council discussion reflected concurrence with the
comments of Council Member Lewis and the desire to make
the lagoon safe for all users.
Council directed the City Attorney to prepare documents
in accordance with their discussion, which would reduce
the speed limit in Snug Hargor to 5 mph for any power
boat or boats pulling water skiers, and relocate the jet
skis to Snug Harbor on weekends and holidays. During the
week, jet skis would remain at the east end of the lagoon
and power boats or boats pulling water skiers would be
allowed to use Snug Harbor for take-offs and landing.
Council further directed that the City Attorney include
in those documents provisions to permit board-sailing
instruction in the middle lagoon at Agua Hedionda, and to
transfer the enforcement program to Parks and Recreation

C. Board Sail Update
Mr. Steve Lees addressed the Commission on board
sail activity in the Carlsbad area. He stated he is
a local resident and teacher and has been wind
surfing on the lagoon for a year and a half. This
sport is illegal on the Agua Hedionda Lagoon and
speaking for himself and the supporters with him,
Mr. Lees said they would like to work with Parks &
Recreation to open up the area for wind surfing.
This sport has grown since last year and they
out-number the boats and jet skiers. For the last
six months there have been ten to fourteen wind
surfers on the lagoon every Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Lees stated the Mayor directed Parks &
Recreation Commission to form a committee to study
this problem, and they worked with Mr. Bradstreet
and brought a proposal to the Commission, which was
voted down. The matter didn't go to Council.
However, this year, they feel, there is enough
interest to merit an investigation. Most of those
participating in this sport are local residents; it
is colorful; they don't pollute or make any noise.
Mr. Lees expressed the hope that the Commission
would have a positive attitude toward this sport and
the participants were appealing to the Coirmission as
to what action should be taken in the future.
For background purposes, it was explained that a
wind surfer had been run down by a boater on the
lagoon, and although the suit should have been all
inclusive, it was not. A suit is still pending
against the City for a million and a half dollars.
In order to alleviate that type of situation, wind
surfing was made illegal.
It was explained that the City Attorney and the City
Council eliminated mixed uses on the lagoon in order
to prevent such an accident occurring again. At
that time, it was decided sailboats were more
maneuverable.
Council Member Lewis commented he wanted to make
certain everyone understood it was the Council's
action, and not the City Attorney, to deny the mixed
use of the lagoon.
JUTES

April 18, 1983 COMMISSIONERS
The Commission discussed the Council's decision to
outlaw board sailing and how that decision was
arrived at, with Mr. Bradstreet stating a survey was
made in San Diego and in the Carlsbad area. At that
time, it was decided that sailboats were more
maneuverable than board sails.
Mr. Chuck Campbell, board sailor, addressed the
Commision and stated he didn't think any sailboat
was more maneuverable than a board sailor—they can
run circles around any sailboat.
Mr. Lees stated that board sailing had been outlawed
before any of these people started participating in
the sport.
Mr. Bradstreet commented that the board sailor that
was hit did not have a window. However, there are
many more people involved in this activity today and
the boards are very maneuverable. The Council did
make the decision to eliminate mixed uses on the
lagoon to keep the liability as minimal as possible.
Mr. Lees said their purpose in coming before this
Commission was not to debate the issue. He felt
that a power boat running at a normal speed and one
with the throttle wide open was a dangerous type of
mixed use. He did feel there was a solution
possible, as it is a large lagoon and there are many
people in this sport. They feel they have a right
to be on the lagoon during certain times. It was
not their intent to deny any other boating group any
rights, but would just like to gain uses for their
own group.

Mr. Phil Maynard, property owner and Hobie Oceanside
Sporting Store operator, addressed the Commission,
stating there are a lot of people interested in this
sport and there is no legal place in the North
County to sail. The taxpayers in this area must
travel to San Diego to wind surf and he felt this
was not fair. The Oceanside Harbor is too dangerous
to sail in, and to go out into the ocean, you must
be very good and have very calm water.
Mr. Lees suggested the eastern section be buoyed off
and Mr. Bradstreet clarified the statement by saying
he had worked with the Mr. Lees on this and this
recommendation had come before the Commission.
The Commission felt the City would still be liable
if someone strayed out of that area and into the
path of a power boat.
Commissioner Conti asked what happened if a boy in a
six-foot sailboat was hit by a power boat—who was
liable, and Mr. Bradstreet said the person who hit
him. Commissioner Conti asked what the difference
was—as he really preferred the silent use. Mr.
Bradstreet answered that the sailboat could see the
power boat and take evasive action whereas the board
sailor might not be able to see the power boat.
Commissioner Conti suggested meeting with Mr. Lees
to try to come up with some solution.
Chairperson Dahlquist appointed Commissioner Conti
as the Chairman of the Committee to meet with Mr.
Lees and Commissioner Wright and Chairperson
Dahlquist. They are to come up with a
recommendation to the Commission. The Commission
will then make a recommendation to the City Council.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mr. Bradstreet asked for 60 days to come back with
some information for the Tree Committee. This was
agreeable with the members of the committee.
Commissoner McFadden added it was needed to have the
City Attorney tell the committee what is
enforceable. She also suggested the City of Santa
Barbara be contacted, perhaps by phone, to mail the
City literature on how they have so successfully
handled their street trees.

ITEM EXPLANATION
For the past several years board sail enthusiasts have requested to use the
inner portion of Agua Hedionda Lagoon for their fast-growing passive aquatic
sport.
The Parks & Recreation Commission appointed a committee to review and explore
the feasibility of incorporating this activity into the already existing uses
of the lagoon.
The Committee met with individuals that represent board sailers and found the
following:
1. Board sailing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.
2. It is a relatively inexpensive and quiet activity.
3. They dc not cause pollutants.
4. They are more maneuverable than sail boats.
5. They have better visibility than sail boats.
6. Power boat usage is on a downward trend, as indicated below:

The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the findings of the Committee and
recommended:
1. Board sailing be allowed at the same time as sail boats. This
is from May 24 to October 1 before 9:00 AM and after 3:00 PM on
weekends and holidays and anytime during the week. From October
20 to May 23 sail boats are allowed at any time.
2. Establish a yearly fee of $10.00 for Carlsbad residents and S15.00
for non-residents.
3. That participants have proof of insurance of $100,000.
4. They must have a window in their sail.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approximately $250 annually may be generated through the permit process.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
April 20, 1987 Page 6 COMMISSIONERS
NEW BUSINESS: (continued)
Dave Bradstreet stated the Larwin parcel and the Robertson
parcel do tie together. If Larwin is developed, they
would not need the Robertson property. If Larwin is not
developed, they will go forward with the Robertson
property.
Commissioner Lawson commented the first public review of
Zone Management Facilities Plan No. 3 encountered some
problems. There were problems with parks and other major
changes and this was approved last week. He felt the
Commission should be Informed about what improvements and
what information came out of that. He would like to have
a Member of the Planning Department staff at one of the
Committee meetings.
D. Installation of Lights at Holiday Park
Dave Bradstreet reported they have been talking for nine
years about putting lights in Holiday Park. The park is
one of the most actively used parks in the system. The
City has been hesitant to go forward with this. There are
certain activities held there, such as the Octoberfest and
the Duly 4th picnic where they have to bring their own
lights. There are some problems to Installing lights
there, however. It would be very expensive, It Is not in
the CIP and not in the current Holiday Park restoration.
If the Commission desires staff to proceed with lights,
the Commission should make such a recommendation and it
would be submitted in the next CIP Program. If the
Commission stated they wanted them now, staff would see
what was available in park-In-lieu funds In that quadrant
and how much it would cost to Install the lights at the
present time. It has only been individuals that have
approached staff on installing lights there. Mr.
Bradstreet stated the Commissioner who requested this Item
be placed on the Agenda is absent tonight. The
recommendation was made to table this request until that
Commissioner was in attendance.
Parks and Recreation Commission tabled the installation of
lights at Holiday Park item until the Commissioner
requesting this item is in attendance.
E. Recommended Ordinance Changes Regarding Recreational
Use of the Agua Hedionda Laooon
Lynn Chase gave the update on the recommended changes,
stating they had cleaned up the Ordinance and they were
making the Lagoon a safer place. She stated the new
Lagoon Specialist was Oscar Alvarez, and she Introduced
him to the Commission. Lynn Chase stated Oscar had been
Chris Harmon's Assistant last year and is a very capable
employee. A copy of the current rules and regulations was
given to the Commissioners. This Information is given to
all people who obtain a permit or use the Lagoon.

Sacramento Newspaper Guild vSacramento County Board of Supervisors (1968)263 Cal App 2d41.stitutes a meeting within the application of the Brown Act, making itimproper to exclude members of the press or public from attendanceby some other individual or organization. In such case, a meetingconducted primarily for the informational purposes involved con-attend an informational activity either presented by their own staffermeeting.

A differentsituation is presented where all of the governing board membersdoes prohibit the conduct of public business, the making of publicdecisions and the adoption of formal Action at such an unnoticedthe agency from attending such lunch or dinner. However, the ActNothing in the Act prohibits more than a quorum of the members ofThe Act requires all local agency meetings to be public meetings,subject only to closed session exclusions or provisions specificallyfound in the Act itself. (Section 54953) A regular meeting of a localagency is not subject to any specific agenda requirements under theBrown Act and therefore matters coming before the governing boardmay be discussed at any time, or in any order, whether or not thepublic portion of the meeting is interrupted by a closed session, andthereafter reconvened to a public session. Torres v Board of Com-missioners (1979)89 Cal App 3d 545. Other statutes may provide formore specific agenda requirements, such as Education Code Section35145 (school board agendas) or Government Code Section 25151(agendas for board of supervisors meetings).Occasionally, the governing board will encounter a situationwhere in the course of deliberation it adjourns for lunch or dinner.REGULAR MEETINGcrn

4015 Isle Drive
Carlsbad, CA 92008
May 6, 198?
Keith Beverly, Management Analyst
Parks & Recreation Department
1166 Elm Avenue
Carlsbad, CA 92008
Dear Mr. Beverly:
I am surprised and dismayed that the members of the Site
Planning Committee have chosen to bar the public from
their meetings. It may be less convenient to discuss all
planning options in the light of day, but this is public
business, and as such it should be conducted openly in
keeping with the spirit and letter of the Brown Act.
As stated in my letter .of April 22, the Friends of Hosp
Grove do not seek, to provide input or to influence the
committee in any way. We merely want to have access to
their information and observe their deliberations so that
we can provide intelligent input at the Commission and
Council levels of review.
I will come to City Hall when the committee meets this
afternoon. I would appreciate your forwarding this

Dear Mr. Hammer:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding your organizations desire
to observe the upcoming Site Planning Committee Meeting.
At the initial committee meeting of 4/29/87, the committee members
acknowledged and appreciated your request.
The committee members felt that at this preliminary stage of the
parkland assessment review, community observation or input would
be premature. The members did; however, encourage any community
input at the Commission level of review.
The committee report will be available for review at the Library
and can be made available to you, upon your request, prior to
Commission endorsement.
Should you have further questions regarding this issue, please feel
free to contact me.
Respectfully,
KEITH BEVERLY

Dear Mr. Bradstreet:
Friends of Hosp Grove would like to observe the upcoming
Site and Planning Committee meetings concerning the
parKlands inventory and Hosp Grove classification.
I spoke yesterday with Ray Patchett, who told me that
the committee members should decide whether to open
their meetings to the public, and that I should ask you
to poll them. I would appreciate your doing so.
If the committee agrees, we would send an observer to the
meetings but would not participate unless asked to do so.
Please contact Julie Fish (2440 Lorna Lane, 729-2218)
regarding the committee's decision and meeting times.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,
Dan Hammer

TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks and Recreation Subcommittee
SUBJECT: INVENTORY SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
BACKGROUND
On April 20, the Parks and Recreation Commission appointed
Commissioners Regan, Dahlguist, and Lawson to serve on a
commission subcommittee. This committee was charged with the
following four tasks:
1. Review the current Park Inventory.
2. Clasification of new Hosp Grove acquistion.
3. Discuss classification of Larwin Park.
4. Discuss the need to acquire Robertson property.
The subcommittee met on April 29 and selected Commissioner
Lawson to serve as Chairman and discussed its' goals and
objectives. Second and third meetings were held on May 6 and
May 12 to consider these items and make recommendations to the
Parks and Recreation Commission. The following summarizes the
subcommittees work and recommendations.
PARK INVENTORY REVIEW
The first step in determining the correct classification of the
parks inventory was to specifically define all park categories.
The committee reviewed the current park definitions as well as
recommended changes from staff. The committee considered this
information and attached are the recommended definitions to be
utilized to classify all park inventory. These are attached as
Exhibit #1.
The second step was to review and classify all park acreage into
the appropriate park inventory categories. The committee
reviewed the current inventory in relation to the revised
category definitions and modified the parks inventory
accordingly. This inventory is attached as Exhibit #2. Those
items which have been modified, recommended for deletion or
added as new items are highlighted by three asterisks in the
left-hand margin of each page.
CLASSIFICATION OF HOSP GROVE
Based on the discussion of the park classifications, existing
park facilities, proposed definitions, and current park
development trends, the committee is unanimously recommending
that the voter approved purchase of Hosp Grove be classified in
the Miscellaneous Landscape/Open Space category.
LARWIN PARK AND ROBERTSON PROPERTIES
A decision on the classification of Larwin Park and the purchase
of the Robertson property should be delayed until the
feasibility study of developing Larwin Park is completed.
ACTION ITEMS
The committtee is recommending that the Commission accept and
adopt the findings as presented in Exhibits #1 and #2.
The committee would further ask the Commission to consider the
potential of completely reviewing and revising the Parks and
Recreation Element of the General Plan to reflect these changes
as well as changes which have occurred since 1982.
The committee and staff will be making a presentation regarding
this item at the Commission meeting to review each of these
items and recommendations.
EXHIBIT 1
PARK INVENTORY DESCRIPTION
Presently the City of Carlsbad's Parkland Inventory Is composed
of three primary park classifications:
0 Community Parks
Special Use Areas
Special Resource Areas
These classifications are the basis for the City's standards to
assure optimum park and recreational facilities. The standards
for each park classification are as follows:
Community Parks 2.5 acres/1,000 population
Special Use Areas .5 acres/1,000 population
Special Resource Areas 2.5 acres/1,000 population
The pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element emphasized more passive
use concepts with the acquisition and development of smaller
neighborhood, mini, and vest pocket parks. Additionally, natural
open space areas, meant to serve as connective corridors and
greenbelts throughout the City, were accepted as park-in-lieu
dedicated under the Quimby Ordinance. Due to the characteristics
of these natural open space areas, many of the sites once
accepted for park purposes are considered undevelopable by
today's standards.
The revised 1982 Parks and Recreation Element indicated a shift
in recreational trends toward those uses which are more active
in nature. In order to accommodate these current trends,
parkland dedication requirements became geared toward the
acquisition of developable parkland which could provide both
active and passive use.
Today, current and future parkland dedicated under the Quimby
Ordinance is subject to more stringent conditions than were once
required. Noting the shift In acquisition policy, developable
parkland is considered to be buildable acreage similar to
acreage associated with the subdivision for which dedication is
required. Typically, it has slopes of less than 10% and is
located in other than an area on which building is excluded due
to environmental and geographical constraints, flooding,
easements, liens, or other encumbrances and/or restrictions.
5/13/87
Miscellaneous landscape/open space areas is a secondary
classification within the park inventory. This category has been
established to provide accountability for additional acreage
currently under maintenance responsibility of the Park operations
division, however, is not usable to meet the City's park
standards. In addition, accountability is provided for the
natural open space areas once considered as parkland; however, by
today's standards, they are not considered to be conducive to
park use and/or development.
The following are definitions of the aforementioned
classifications and descriptions of active and passive use.
CONNUNITY PARK
Coaaunlty Parks are leisure facilities, approximately 20 to 50
acres in size; however, due to a 1982 revision of the Park and
Recreation Element to the General Plan, pre-1982 neighborhood
parks of less than 20 acres have been reclassified to the
community park classification.
Typically, community, parks are designed to serve the
recreational needs of several neighborhoods. The nature of this
type of facility encourages and attracts family unit populations
from a nearby vicinity on a daily frequency. Community parks
generally provide active and passive use amenities; however,
they are not limited to the exclusive of either.
Minimum facilities should include:
Family-oriented picnic areas
Group picnic areas0 Turfed open space areas for free play0 Multi-purpose lighted playfield(s)
Tot areas
Structures for lectures, meetings, skills instruction,
etc.
0 Buffer areas
0 Special use facilities as per specific community demand
0 Tennis courts
Special use facilities, such as swimming pools, tennis courts,
horsehoes, handball and racquetball courts, etc. may be located
within these parks if appropriate to the interest and need of
the community in which the park is located.
The service radius for community park sites is approximately two
miles. The primary access orientation is vehicular. It is
therefore established that community parks should be located
adjacent to a secondary arterial or circulation route of greater
heirarchy as defined within the Circulation Element.
SPECIAL USE AREAS
Special Use Areas are typically local facilities that meet the
needs of only one or two activity type uses, either passive or
active in nature. They are between one to five acres in size
and generally do not provide the basic universally accepted
facilities found in a community park site. Facilities of this
type are, but not limited to, swim, tennis or racquetball
complexes, meeting halls, athletic complexes, play lots, picnic
and interpretive walk areas.
Pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element included mini and vest
pocket parks. The revised 1982 Parks and Recreation Element has
incorporated these parks into the special use category which
typically defines the nature of these areas.
Location of special use area sites should be based upon adequate
access to its supporting community population.
SPECIAL RESOURCE AREAS
Special Resource Areas are local amenities that have either city-
wide or potential regional significance. The significance is in
the quality of the site that makes it unique as either a passive
and/or active recreation area; this quality may be of a natural
(water, geological, ecological, etc.), historical (architectural,
etc.), or a combination thereof. Consequently, the special
resource area as defined has a visitor attraction or drawing
power to users locally and beyond.
Typically, special resource areas provide a unique character
and/or use not found in community parks or special use areas.
In general, they are larger than community parks. They are a
recreational site characterized by the existence of a special or
unusual feature, natural or man-made, i.e., a water body, earth
formation, historical amenity, ecological reserve, etc.
MISCELLANEOUS LANDSCAPED/OPEN SPACE AREAS
Landscaped Areas are acreage presently maintained by the Park
operation division. The degree of landscape maintenance performed
varies from high to minimum depending upon public exposure, desired
aesthetics, safety and/or liability concerns. Maintenance areas
typically include land adjacent to public buildings such as City
Hall, Libraries, Fire Stations, Administration Buildings, Safety
Center, street medians, and public right-of-ways.
Open Space Areas typically are unimproved and require mlnumum
or no maintenance. These areas are generally considered to be
undevelopable by today's park standards due to environmental and/or
geographic constraints or the prohibitive cost to rectify those
constraints. Some open space areas in this classification were
accepted for park purposes under the Quimby Ordinance prior to
1982.
ACTIVE USE
Active Park Areas typically provide a form of organized,
supervised, often extra-curricular recreation. Park amenities
denoting active use may include gymnasiums, swim complexes,
multi-use ballfields, tot lots, hard court play surfaces,
volleyball, horseshoe areas or a combination thereof.
PASSIVE USE
Passive Park Areas often 'provide minimal or no amenities
associated with active use. The vary nature of passive use
implies undemonstrative, nonparticipating, complacent, subdued
activity. Park amenities generally associated with passive use
include nature trails, walkways, picnic tables, benches, and
small turf and/or landscaped areas.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR APRIL
ADMINISTRATION:
STAFF has been working with a COMMISSION SUBCOMMITTEE to formalize
a current PARK INVENTORY. Primary emphasis is to define and
classify acreage currently under the jurisdiction of Park and
Recreation operations. The outcome of the Committee's work will
create a foundation for a revised park and recreation element to
the general plan.
The Director's message for the MAYOR'S STATE OF THE CITY'S VIDEO
presentation was taped recently. Current progress and future goals
for providing Parks and Recreation facilities for Carlsbad were
addressed. The video will be aired on community access television
in June.
STAGECOACH PARK DEDICATION CEREMONIES will be May 30. The landscape
and turf have been planted and is becoming established. The City
will accept the community center gymnasium on May 12 pending outcome
of final inspection. Once the landscape has become established
and the maintenance period ends, the City will accept the entire
28 acre park site.
PARKS DIVISION;
Parks maintenance personnel have completed work with San Diego
County to improve the drainage through MACARIO CANYON PARK PROPERTY.
This project is in conjunction with the County Health (Mosquito
Abatement) Division. The intent of the project is to keep water
flowing through the canyon and provide access for Vector Control
personnel.
The older RESTROOM FACILITY AT HOLIDAY PARK underwent rehabilitation
and is now equipped with all new fixtures. These facilities will
help relieve impact during peak use periods.
The MAINTENANCE/STORAGE FACILITY near the horse-shoe pits is nearing
completion. All that remains is to paint the building.
The LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE responsibilities at the PUBLIC SERVICE AND
SAFETY CENTER have been officially accepted. The Parks Division
began landscape maintenance at this facility on April 27.
