Violation of residential off-street parking.
I have been living in this home for almost a year. I used to
live in the City of Encinitas in a house, which belongs to the home
owner association. I had a problem parking my Boat in the
driveway of my hose because of these community rules.
I decided to move out because of some legal issue with my
Ex-wife (divorce case), which put me under a lot of financial
pressure. I moved to the existing home located in 7103 Columbine
Drive in the City of Carlsbad hoping to have some peace of mind in
such a peaceful neighborhood. I was under the impression that I
would be able to park my Boat in the driveway of the house.
I recently received a notice from the Planning Department
in the City of Carlsbad in regard to a code violation involving my
Boat. I have owned this Boat since 1998. This Boat is in a perfect
condition and is always covered neatly and not an eyesore. I never
had any complain regarding the Boat from my neighbors.
I work as a Civil Engineer in the department of
Transportation (Caltrans), and I understand that there should be
some kind of regulations regarding the public traffic safety and
driving sight view. Parking the Boat on the side of the front
~
driveway does not interfere with the visibility to or from the
street, nor does it interfere with the traffic on the street or
sidewalk or encroaches into the street and utility right of way
(look at the attached layout and pictures).
Moreover, because of the structural configuration,
landscaping and the size of the Boat and trailer, parking the Boat
somewhere else other than the existing location is not applicable
as it shown in the attached layout and pictures.
I believe I have compiled all the pertinent facts regarding
my situation per your staff’s recommendation, Mr. Scott
Rundinger, and Mr. Paul Godwin. I have carefully reviewed section
21.51.040 (specifically items i to iv) of the City of Carlsbad code
regarding this matter. Your careful consideration is appreciated.
Please contact me at my home at (760) 929-8577 or at my work
at (619) 688-6472, if you have any questions or if you want to
schedule some time to meet me.
Sincerely ,
Bashar Naser
City of Carlsbad resident
