As I see it the major issues are 1) location of the sewer connection; 2) subsequent pad elevations; and, 3) grading in the railroad right-of-way. Unfortunately, I have not yet received comments from the other City departments but will forward those as soon as I receive them. 1. Balcony and patio trellis exhibit must abide by standards of the master plan which refer to the zoning ordinance and the planned development ordinance. Your trellis guidelines stipulate that the most restrictive standard shall apply. Since the patios, etc. appear to be attached to the homes, a standard rear yard setback must be provided. In this case the rear yard is twice the side yard or 10’. Please revise the exhibit accordingly. The revised presentation is far superior than the previous submittal. 2. The disclosure statement is incomplete because it does not “include the names, title, addresses of all individuals owning more than 10% of the shares”. As noted, if none of the partners owns more than 10% then NA should be indicated on the form. Please correct-a quick phone call could be adequate. 3. Verify 50% maximum “lot” coverage 4. Pad elevations along Carlsbad Boulevard have increased to 4.5’ which is not consistent with either our earlier discussions or Council direction to lower pad elevations as much as possible. Tat Wai said pads could be lowered to about 1.5’ above Carlsbad Boulevard. Why is that not possible now? Reviewing the cross-sections, with the addition of the walls and berms, reveals that the higher pad elevations create a poor visual interface along Carlsbad Boulevard. The mounding that was requested to screen the walls does not screen the wall at all. Instead it only softens and screens the new pad elevations. Grade elevations have continued to remain as an issue. This Droiect cannot be supported bv staff with the present pad elevations. Staff has not received an acceptable 2075 La Palmas Dr. l Carlsbad, CA 92009-l 576 - (760) 438-l 161 * FAX (760) 438-0894 @
