Dear Ms. Blackburn:
Re: Response to Comments for CDP 96-14
This letter is in response to City of Carlsbad comments dated January 21,1997, for
Coastal Development Permit CDP 96-14. The project proposal is to install a ground-
mounted Personal Communications Services (PCS) system at 4901 El Camino Real
south of the existing building.
Planning Comments
1. The "City of Carlsbad Planning Commission" approval stamp was removed from
the plans.
2. A revised slope analysis map has been included (Sheet C-2) to accurately reflect
the slope characteristics in the project vicinity.
3. CDP 96-14 has placed on the upper right hand corner of each sheet.
4. Enclosed you will find four separate Geotechnical Investigation reports that
address slope stability, seismicity, landslides, etc. These reports have been
prepared by Hetherington Engineering, Inc.
The drainage system around the equipment enclosure is shown on Sheet C-3 and
described briefly in the Heatherington Engineering letter dated October 21,1996.
Specific grading quantities are included on Sheet A-l. There will be a total of 26
cubic yards of cut and 7 cubic yards of fill for the entire project. General
magnitude and depth of the grading are indicated on Sheets A-4 and C-3 and all of
the Structural sheets.

Engineering Comments
1. Sheet C-l has been revised to show all of the existing easements in the project
vicinity. This combined with information on Sheet A-l depicts to the best of our
ability existing easements in the area and their purpose.
2. The project does not affect circulation. The equipment location does not
eliminate any designated parking spaces, nor does it block any existing drive
aisles. Maintenance vehicles will visit the site approximately once a month, so
no significant traffic will be generated by the project.
3. See response #4 to Planning Comments.
4. Proposed telephone and electrical lines to the equipment boxes will be run
underground. The power and telephone line will be run down the telephone
pole (at front of the property) in conduit and then placed in 36"xl8" trench that
will lead back to the equipment boxes.
5. According to a preliminary analysis by the Cox radio frequency engineer, the
facility will not interfere with the proposed Pacific Bell Mobile Services PCS
facility because of the horizontal distance (170 feet) between the two carriers.
6. See response #4 to Planning comments
7. See response #1 above.
8. CUP 96-05 is on the bottom right hand corner of the plans.
9. See response #4 above.
I will be happy to meet with City staff to further discuss our responses. If you have
any questions please call me at (714) 475-4565. Thanks for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
JM CONSULTING GROUP, INC.
