The project’s landscape plan is not in conformance with the adopted Master Plan. Many of the plants and trees listed on the proposed plant list are not approved in the master plan for the “development area” portion of the site plan. 2. Consider moving the sidewalk away from the street and incorporating a landscaped strip between the street and sidewalk. This design will also create a more level walking surface and avoid the continuous curves in the sidewalk. 3. The project exceeds the maximum building height of 35 feet for Building “A” and “6” and a portion of the commons building. 4. The RV storage lot needs some form of driveway turn-around for vehicles towing large trailers into the lot. 5. To facilitate the use and convenience of the linear park/green way along the eastern side of the project please provide pedestrian access connections to the open space (See the marked plans for details). 6. Please add the project application numbers to the plans, include the project’s Average Daily Trips on the site plan, and next to the “provided parking spaces” portion of the site plan, add the number of “required parking spaces” per the City’s Parking Ordinance. 7. The Green Valley Master Plan EIR requires the submittal of a Noise Study for the siting of the homes and the determination of the mitigation measures necessary to reduce noise impacts (i.e. setbacks, height and location of noise walls/berms, interior sound attenuation etc.) 8. The Community Development Department has determined that the project must contribute towards the provision of affordable housing primarily based on the independent living units and the attached/detached villa component of the project. Please contact the Housing and Redevelopment Department for further details on meeting lnclusionary Housing Requirements for the project. 9. See the marked plans for additional issues of concern. Please return all marked plans with the re-submittal of the application. Engineering: Traffic and TranSDOrt8tiOn: 1. Please show CalTrans Corner Sight distance sight lines of 440’ for the proposed intersections along Calle Barcelona f@ Street’s “A & L”1. The sight lines are measured from 15’ back from the prolongation of the Calle Barcelona curb line. Show these siaht lines on the Site Development Plan (SDP), Gradinq, Drainaae & Utilitv Plan (GDUP) and Conceotual LandscaDe Plans ICLSP). 2. Please indicate the locations of any proposed monument signs, or sign envelopes, showing that CalTrans sight distance requirements can be met for all of the proposed streets/driveways. Show these siaht lines on the SDP, GDUP and CLSP. 3. At all on-site intersections, please show clear sight distance sight triangles, in accordance with City Standards. Sight distance triangles are identified by measuring 25’ from the begin/end curb returns fBC/EC’s) and connecting a diagonal line between these points. Anything in this area cannot be greater than 30” in height. Show these siaht lines on the SDP, GDUP and CLSP. 4. Please indicate the proposed sidewalk in the legend on Sheet C-l. 5. Please indicate all of the drawing numbers of the improvement/grading plans that are being processed concurrently with this proposed project on the GDUP. 6. Please delete the proposed parking on the inside of the curves on Sheet’s S-5 & S-6. 7. Please label the streets on the SDP. 8. The lot across Calle Barcelona is designated as a commercial lot in accordance with previous approvals for this site. Access to this commercial lot must be analyzed with this proposed project to determine driveway locations and the potential for traffic signal installation; Please have the consultant traffic engineer address this issue. 9. As discussed in a telephone conversation with the Engineer of Work on Friday, April 3, 1998, proposed Planning Area 3 does not meet the City’s Cul-De-Sac Standard north of proposed La Costa Glen Drive (Levante Street). A loop connection must be proposed or Street’s “J & A” must be substantially widened to meet the standard. 10. Please show on Sheet’s C-5 & S-7, that a Recreational Vehicle (RV) will be able to maneuver within the proposed RV lot. Indicate this by showing a 42’ turning radius in accordance with the AASHTO motor home (MH) standard. 11. On Sheet’s S-3 through S-8, please delete “Keynote A” and then re-letter the Keynotes. There are not any public streets being indicated. 12. Please either show handicap ramps at all intersections, where sidewalk is being proposed, or indicate a typical plan view showing that handicap ramps will be provided at all applicable intersections. Please indicate this on the SDP and GDUP and CLSP. 13. A turn-around must be provided, in accordance with City Standards, on Street “A” north of Calle Barcelona since a gate is being proposed. Please indicate this on the SDP. GDUP and CLSP. 14. Please widen proposed Street “K” to a 30’ minimum width. Revise the typical street section on Sheet C-l. Please indicate this on the SDP, GDUP and CLSP. 15. Please revise the “traffic report” letter in accordance with the red-lined comments. Gradina and Drainaae: 1. The Street “L” typical section and the proposed grading contours contradict each other (see sheet C-2). The proposed contour lines should be straight if the proposal is to elevate the Street ‘I” section. Please verify and revise. Additionally, if the Street “L” section is going to be elevated to obtain positive drainage, curb cuts will be required at the “raised median areas” along the westerly side of Street “L” to allow for drainage. 2. What is the drainage facility located at the slope at proposed Street “L” on Sheet C- 2? 3. Why are large inlet structures being proposed at the top of the slope at the RV lot on Sheet C-5? Are these required? Will the proposed brow ditch, or another brow ditch suffice? 4. On Sheet’s C-2, C-3 & C-6 please relocate the proposed storm drain so that it does not encroach into any proposed structures (see proposed units 46, 47 & 23, respectively). 5. Please either delete the proposed storm drain easement lines, or delineate these easement lines as private (e.g., see Sheet C-6). 6. Sump conditions are being proposed at the terminus of proposed Street’s “B & C.” A fail-safe overflow system must be provided. A fail-safe overflow design can include, but is not limited to, the following: designing a redundant storm drain system, creating vegetated swales between the buildings, etc. 7. A different type of sump condition seems to be proposed at the parking area south of Street “A” on Sheet C-4 (this sump is “bucking grade”). This sump condition must also be addressed. (This storm drain system may be acceptable as designed. Please indicate inlet elevations so that this can be determined, or redesign with a fail-safe overflow system.) 8. On Sheet C-3, westerly of Street “K”, what are the dark lines supposed to indicate, which are drawn across the proposed storm drain on the slope? 9. On Sheet C-3, easterly of Street “A”, where does this storm drain discharge? Is there slopelriparian area protection being proposed? Should this storm drain be tied into a storm drain that is discharging into one of the proposed detention basins? 10. Please add the City’s GS-15 plan view drainage standard to Sheet C-l.

Please provide documentation that the proposed water facilities are acceptable to the Olivenhain Municipal Water District. Land Title: 1. Please submit an updated Preliminary Title Report (PR). The fee title ownership indicated in the PR is “Carlsbad Partners.” The ownership indicated on the application and GDUP is “Continuing Life Communities.” The PR, application and GDUP must indicate the same ownership interest.

Contact each applicable public/quasi public agency to determine the format that they require. 4. The number of proposed lots on the “original” Green Valley map (CT 92-08) equals Il. General Note No. 8 on Sheet C-l indicates a total of 5 lots. Please revise or indicate why there is a discrepancy. Miscellaneous: 1. Please explain General Note No.‘s 14 & 15. 2.
