PIACE: COUNCIL (3mmlms Page 2
A new Page 3 of the staff report was distributed. The carm7issioners *re requested to change the nunbring on pages 4 and 5 to correspond with the* new page 3. Mr. Zander ex-
plained that the new Condition 10 puts a time limitpf-& to April 19, 1977, as the period required for obtaining the I
slope rights frm the adjacent property owner to the south.
This request for slope rights would allow a second access
stub to this project, which muld be beneficial to the appli- cant and to present and future adjacent residents.
Mr. Zander stated that Condition #11 had been deleted from th
March 9 staff report. Also New Condition #16 (replacing Old Condition #17) will relieve traffic congestion on Chestnut
' .Avenue by 970 vehicular trips per day. On Condition 20 (c) , 1148 I II shuld be changed to ''44' .
Also, on New Condition #23 (Old Condition #24), change
"supercede" to "amend" and add ''to include the new conditions
and the new map."
In answer to questions, Bud Plender said that Old Condition,
#23 was included to inform the applicant of the wishes of
the Carlsbad Municipal Water District.
City Ehgineer Tim Flanagan explained that sewer connections
could be tied in with the Vista/Carlsbad trunk line which
the Serena mrena p~nnp station ties in with. There is also
a sewer line available in the myal Hones subdivision. There
is. howver, a missing link which will be eliminated when the
Carlsbad Meadows Develomnt is constructed. This project
could then tie in with that line.
In answer to Camissioner L'Heureux's question, Mr. Zander, '
referring to New Condition #lo, stated that very little
.&tenance will be required of the City- since the new
Open space Policy of the City alluws for the natural look,
with the original vegetation left on slopes.
Bud Plender. explained that Condition #4 does not give the
public the right to use these lots. The Condition so states
when this is the case, by using "public easemnt" or "for
public access. I' In this case, "open space" simply means that
the owner canr)ot build on that portion without the City's concurrence.
Tim Flanagan stated that erosion control has been an autmti
condition in obtaining City permits over the past 2 years.
Cliff-Burford, Director of Planning,*.IDM , 5850
Avenida @cinas, Carlsbad, stated that they are savinq the mature t&s, and will house them in a d-bn strip along
Elm Avenue. -
J.-Federhart, Traffic Engineer, 5252 Balboa, Suite 709, San Diego, 92117, said that since the Elm Avenue Ektension muld pretty much & parallel to this project,. other access
than mestnut AV~~W will $e' possible. It is estimated
tional 1,360 vehicles per day. . that this project will increase vehicular trips by an addi-
George Flanders, 2168 Chestnut, Carlsbad, stated that he does not feel that residential streets should be turned into major highways. He further stated that the street system is not adequately provided for in this plan. In reference to the
EIR for CT 74-14, he believes that 100 g.p.d. sewage from
this project is erroneous as the Public- Wrks Director has
since stated that is is 120 'g.p.d. He questioned whether
sewage service was available or adequate., based on the Public Works Director's statarmts to the City Council on
March 8.

Pipeline wuld ever be a reality as only one of the 3 Cities
has approved the. funding of it. Because of these three
areas: traffic circulation, sewage capacity and availability of fresh water, he asked the Ccamissioners to deny the projec
Bud Plender pointed out that this subdivision is included in the available sewage capacity at the Eslcina Plant, according
to the Public Works Administrator.
A motion was made to approve CT 74-14(A) (Resolution No. 1333) based on the aed findings and conditions in the Wch 9 staff report.
'.-(3) Case No. SNC-I, City of Carlsbad - Request to consider
reOarrmenaing to the City Council that certain conflictin
street names in the City of Carlsbad be changed.
Bud Plender gave the staff report, explaining that SNC-I (1) ,
(3) '(41 and (5) had been approved at the February 23rd meet- . ing but SNC-I (2) had been continued to notify property own-
wb might reside on Lagoon Lane, and to research possible
alternatives to the originally suggested "Bracken."
The staff is mw recamending a change to Batiquitos Lane,
because the road goes to the Lagoon, even though it is not
in the group of horticultural names the City Council Policy
set up for this area.
A motion was made to approve the recarmended change to Batiquitos Lane.
(4)Case NO. CT 76-15-6, Ibuglass-Southwest Corporation - Request for approval of a revised tentative tract map and planned unit developrznt to allow 135 single-family detached dwellings on 43.99 acres.
?%Ihiissi&er Rmbotis stated that he wished to abstain from participation on this itan because of due to 'property mnership in the area.
Bud Plender gave the staff reprt, stating that the applicant
had substantially changed the tract map noticed previously,
so it was renoticed to reflecttkchanges. These changes
involve allowing no access onto Tamarack whereas the first may
provided such aces. There is also a new park system, with
3 private parks, with much usable open space. There is, in
the-new plan, a'recreational vehicle storage area.
Mr. Plender read a finding change into the record. A finding
should be added as follows: "At this time, all necessary
public facilities, including sewer service, are available to
serve the subject project as proposed. However, sewer facili- ties may not be available when applications are made for build ing permits. If sewer facilities are not available at the tin
of building permit application, building permits will not .be
issued until arra-ts satisfactory to the City Council car
be made to guarantee that all necessary sewer facilities will
be available prior to occupancy. I'
Tkis project falls under Level Four of the Public Wrks
Administrator future capacity expectations at the Eslcina
Water Pollution Facility.
Tim Flanagan explained that the General Plan shms the de-
qhasizing of Chesmut, with mre qhasis on more intensive
use of Cannon; Tamarack and Elm.. Chestnut is a residential
street and does not have a freeway offrmnp, as the other 3 streets do.
