LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED
TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION
No. CDP 98-72
Planning:
1. Please provide a preliminary grading plan and include quantities of cut/fill, indicate the slope of the
driveway, and include spot elevations (existing and proposed) around the perimeter of the proposed
residence.
2. Please indicate if the first floor bathroom projects into the 10 foot setback along Acacia. The floor
plans do not indicate that it projects into the setback, however, the building elevations show a
projecting element. Please clarify.
3. A total of 3 parking spaces are required for this proposal. Two spaces may be within the 20 x 20
garage. One additional guest parking space (minimum 8 x 15) must also be provided. Please
dimension the additional guest space within the garage.
4. Please indicate the depth of the roof overhang.
5. Please indicate the square footage of the existing residence to be demolished. The request to
demolish the existing residence will be included in your Coastal Development Permit application.
6. Please correctly identify the Assessor's Parcel Number on the Plans as 204-233-10.
Engineering:
1. City standards require a triangular area for vehicular sight distance purposes at the corner of
Carlsbad Boulevard and Acacia Street. This area is to be measured 25' back from the beginning of
the curb return and is to be free of any obstructions 42" in height as measured from the pavement
elevation on Acacia Street. It appears the proposed planter wall encroaches into this area.
2. The location of the existing sidewalk on Acacia Street is incorrectly shown on the plans, as there is a
parkway area between the curb and the sidewalk. There is also an existing pedestrian ramp at the
corner. Finally, please note if the existing palm trees in the parkway will require removal in order to
accommodate the driveway apron.
3. Please show on the plans how drainage is to be handled from the garage area.
4. Attached is a redlined check print set of the project. Please forward this plan set to the applicant for
corrections and changes as noted. The applicant must return this plan set with the corrected plans to
assist us in our continued review. If you have questions regarding any of the comments above,
please contact Ken Quon at extension 4380.
ISSUES OF CONCERN
Planning/Engineering:
1. It appears that the driveway slope will exceed the 15% maximum slope allowed by the Engineering
Department. The slope down to the driveway may not extend into the public right-of-way. Please
indicate the percentage of driveway slope and any modifications to the proposed finished floor
elevations. Indicate the height of retaining walls (if any) used to retain slopes adjacent to the
driveway. The Beach Area Overlay Zone permits only two stories and a 30 foot height limit.
Therefore, the garage must be designed to meet the definition of a basement so that it does not
qualify as a third story. Please contact the Engineering Department to obtain the driveway slope
standards.
