Include a preliminary hydrology map and calculations unless a system is already in place, designed and approved to serve this site. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. A recent staff visit of the project site (March 28, 1997) discovered that coastal sage scrub habitat exists on the previously graded area of the site as well as within the open space easement located within the western 1/3 of the property. The project and project fire protection landscape zones appear to encroach into the coastal sage scrub habitat. The impact of this encroachment will require mitigation. Accordingly, please submit a biological resources survey and analysis of the subject property, with particular emphasis on the open space easement located on the western 1/3 of the project site. The biological resources survey and analysis shall include: a. the quantification and mapping of all botanical/zoological species and habitats (i.e.; endangered, sensitive and listed federal and state plants, wildlife and habitats); b. a discussion of project impacts to identified biological resources; and c. detailed mitigation measures. 2. Please revise the Site Plan and Tentative Map to provide minimum 10 foot wide usable side yards for units 1,3, 30, 31 and 34. T^ltf 4 {cc\Lft^ h,- 4o4^ in""p ' 3.

Please redesign units 9 and 10 to comply with the minimum 5 foot setback from open guest parking (space #8). 6. Please revise the on street parallel parking spaces (#9 and #10) to increase their minimum length to 24 feet. A-^y jot $ (c, mf is ojb 7. Please revise the Site Plan and Tentative Map to delete guest parking spaces from Edgeware Way and Harwich Drive. & ^ 8. The City does not support the use of rolled curbs. Please revise the Site Plan and Tentative Map to delete rolled curbs from the private streets and cross sections. 9. Please revise the Site Plan to add enhanced pavement treatment to "A" Street. 10. Please amend the landscape plan to show a detailed site plan (suggested scale %" =1') of the recreation area. The detailed plan should include play equipment, hardscape, landscaping and furniture. It is strongly suggested that this recreation area be amended to include other more active recreation amenities listed in subsection 21.45.090(g)(3) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Engineering: 1 . Show proposed grading and changes to approved plan. 2. The proposed drainage pattern is less than the standard dimension between property line / swale / and building. Specific approval from the City Engineer will be required per Std. Dwg. GS-15. Submit request and soils report that supports the proposed design. Include Soils engineer's requirements or special conditions on typical drawing on site plan. 3. Show required sight distance and corner cut - off to maintain visibility at all internal streets (8 places) and at the north west corner of Edgeware Way and Harwich Drive. The standard is identified on page 9 of City Design Standards. 4. The proposed "rolled curb" is not supported by staff and would require a variance from City Standard and from the Master Plan for this village. 5. The "modified knuckle" is a tight way of using a substandard curve. 6. Slope and building setbacks must conform to the Master Plan and to City Standards for grading. See GS - 14 and GS-15 7. As previously mentioned in our preliminary review, staff could support the design of sidewalk only on one side. The typical section shows sidewalk on both sides and street "B" has no sidewalk on either side. Where the sidewalk meets the access ramp, use ADA access standards (similar to the street ramp shown at Edgeware Way.
