Secretary Frice read a letter dated March 12, 1963 from i ithe Wonda Brothers I Incorporated, 3544 Monroe ,, Csrlsba?, :opposing the tentative map of Carlsbad Investment Corpord-
ition because the proposed ingress and egress would split
itheir property causing great severance damage, take away: : land on which they have carnations planted, and because thb
:proposed extension of Donna Drive would run through their:
I I b I 1 b
. :property rendering another large three acres of their land useless for their agricultural purposes. I I I I I

. !Upon the Shairman's request Mr. Melton explained the ' 3, !location of the proposed tentative map to the Commission4rs.
:Chairman Ewald asked the representative for the
I * I I I I I * I 1 I
Carlsbad Investment Corporation to speak.
I i BOB WATSON, 2965 FlooseveR Ste ,Carlsbad, representing ;
{the Carlsbad Investment Corporation stated Donna Drive fs :is an established street and now dead-ends on the Honda : :property. It would be reasonable to assume that a condi- i I tion of acceptance could be made pertinent to the ingress ; i and egress into the subdivision. It is doubtful that we can i ; use our property in Seacrest to solve this problem as it : : is costly and the surrounding property owners would be i against it. Openiug Donna would also help in getting water! i service to the Seacrest area as wall as the Carlsbad :Gardens Area. If Donna Drive were extended, there would, i be an access to this proposed subdivision.
: Lowell A. Rathbun, City Engineer, stated that the sub- : i division as proposed would require the opening of Donna i Drive from one of two ends, meaning improvements wouid;

require the City to enter into an action by way of "erninen4 i domain", This would be a matter for the City Council. : : The map could be referred directly to the Council, becausi
filing of this map would depend on ingress and egress.He : : stated the plan ahown on the wall would be satisfactory; also a plan to continue Southerly down Seacrest connecting i to Donna Drive. He stated he had found no general I I i objections to the subdivision and explained that the drain-: : age has to go westerly and into existing Donna Drive to
Carlsbad Gardens. It would require water to be supplied i : from both directions as it is supplied only from one 1 I I direction now. Property owners would have to supply : ! easements from the Reservoir and go down on a dedicated: I street or easement to connect with existing water system i : in Donna Drive. Donna Drive is presently designed to be i
a through street from Chestnut to Basswood.
Mr. Melton asked what the City does about land-locked i : property; if the City provides access to these lands or if : i they do this in certain cases only.

I i OLD BUSINESS:
I I
I (a) Height Limitations. I I I I I
I
Mr. Melton explained a map which delineated the proposejd : height limitation areas in purple. He explained in the. - i i purple area, 50' buildings could be built.
I Commissioner Grant stated that this would only be the : beginning and that the Planning Commission could make I
f deletions and additions as required later on.
I I I I I I
I I I I I 9 Commissioner Sonneman stated she had gone over the : areas in question again and that she felt too much area i i had been designated, and that some changes should be ; : made.
; Commissioner Davis stated he had been reading news - i i papers showing new buildings that were going up in
various locations. He had paid particular attention to the: San Diego area and has found most of the buildings to be
! limited to two -stories, including apartment buildings and
offices in the downtown areas. He felt perhaps more i : demand and evidence for height increase was needed I I before such a large zone as the one proposed was adopted; : We stated if an apartment building 50' tall were built on ; Ocean Avenue, it would create a parking problem.
:*Mr. Melton stated according to the Ordinance, a 35' builbs..: i ing cannot be built on the ocean front right now.
i Cornmissioner Grant disagreed that the Commission should -.! ; wait for evidence because he felt if it was properly pLann6d i ahead, there will be no problems in the future. However; : he agreed this should be carefully studied and perhaps the', i committee should review their proposal. I
: Chairman Ewald agreed with Gommissioner Grant. He i i instructed the committee to go and look over the City i : again and to brirrg a revised proposed area in for conside$- : ation at the next meeting.

t (b) Lagoon Zoning.
I After discussion, it was agreed the Lagoon Committee i i and Mr. Melton review the area between Fods Landing : : and the Shelter Cove development, and present their findibgs i to the Commission at the next meeting.
i SIX MONTH'S REPOnT BY PLANNING TECHNICIAN:
: Mr. Melton gave an oral report to the Commission. He
noted that there was need for changes in the Zoning I I I Crdinance concerning industrial zoning; that a precise : plan of the ocean front property was needed, and that a i i better Farks and Recreation system should be developed.: : He also stated he had attended a Regional Planning Meetirig , i and that as a result of the meeting, he felt a smaller I district would be formed as Carlsbad is now within
District 7 which is comprised of Los Angeles, Riverside,: : Orange and San Diego County. He informed the Commis-: i sion we are now a member of Urban Land, which sends I : magazines to each member each month regarding the ; i planning of all .areas in the United States. He then read ! : a memorandum which stated a cuhff date of 4:OO P. M.th4 i day of the meeting was now in effect. No correspondencei ! or business received after that time will be discussed : I until the next meeting.
