Box 1095 • Carlsbad, California 92008 • (714) 729-1194 January 26, 1983 ' HAND DELIVERED lanning Commission City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Subject: Carlsbad Tract 82-17/PUD 46 -- Mandana Corporation Costa Real Municipal Water District Mr. Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission: The subject tentative subdivision, "Carlsbad Ridge," is located within the retail water service area of the Costa Real Municipal Water District as set forth in Resolution No. 256. Public water service has been pro- vided to the subject lands since the construction of our retail distri- bution system in 1960. Under the terms and conditions of the "interim agreement" between the City of Carlsbad and the Water District, retail public water service will be provided to the entire area by the Costa Real Municipal Water District. We take this opportunity to present to your Commission the following comments and recommendations with respect to the public water service aspects of the proposed development: 1. The District operates and maintains our main pipeline connection between our tranmission main in El Camino Real and our Squires Dam facility by way of a 27-inch pipeline that traverses this new development in a southwesterly to northeasterly direction. The tentative map identifies a design of the street system so that there will be a minimum impact upon our existing facilities and it must be understood by all parties that in the event there is any encroachment upon the right-of-way areas of the District, it will be necessary for the development to obtain specific approval for the utilization of the District's right-of-way. 2. The District has a currently adopted master plan for public water service for the entire development area so that the new subdivision will be required to adhere to all of the specific requirements for public water system facilities that will be applicable to the entire 195-acre area. In Orange County, Santa Ana Planning Commission City of Carlsbad January 26, 1983 Page 2 ENGINEERS 3. The development will be required to adhere to all of the rules and regulations of the District with respect to public water service to the individual lots as well as the entire complex from the standpoint of common areas as well as the 9-hole golf course. 4. The District currently has under evaluation a proposed master plan for non-potable water service so that in the event the proposed 9-hole golf course can utilize non-potable water for supplementary purposes, the District will have the capability to provide service at such time there is an overall master plan adopted. 5. The development will be responsible for all of the financial obligations with respect to the construction of all public water system facilities as well as the District's expenses for the project and all of the charges for meters, services and other such expenses. In the event the Planning Commission has any questions regarding the public water service aspects of this proposed development, we would be pleased to respond. ruly yours, Y.

HOLZMILLER Land Use Planning Manager By Lanc3~Use Panning "Office MJH:kb Enclosure DECEMBER 28, 1982 TO: PRINCIPAL PLANNER FROM: Principal Civil Engineer, Current Development OFFSITE ROAD REQUIREMENT FOR CT 82-7 (MANDANA CORP.) Effective January 1, 1983, the Subdivision Map Act contains a bombshell. If the City approves a tentative map with offsite road improvements, the final map cannot be held up due to the failure of the developer to acquire the land. Instead, the City must acquire the land! - Furthermore, if the City does not acquire the land within 90 days, the requirement for the developer to construct the offsite streets is deemed to be waived. This appears to place an unreasonable burden on the City. Until the implications of the above are understood, I recommend that CT 82-7 (Mandana) be placed on hold. RICHARD ALLEN RHA:hmj Attachment: Letter to City Engineer, dated 12-28-82 DECEMBER 28, 1982 TO: . CITY ENGINEER . . FROM: Principal Civil Engineer, Current Development OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS FOR SUBDIVISIONS Effective January 1, 1983, are a number of new provisions in the Subdivision flap Act that will affect the approval of projects. Potentially, the most far-reaching one is a pro- vision covering offsite improvement requirements. It prohibits the City from refusing to approve a final map because of a condition of approval that public, improvements be made on land that neither the subdivision nor the City owns. In such cases, the City could require the developer to enter an agreement to complete the improvements at such time as the City adquires the land and it requires the City to acquire the land within 90 days of the final map approval TBy negotiation or eminent domain). In the eveiTtfThe land is not acquired within 90 days, the provision to require the developer to construct the improvements is deemed to be waived. The City could require the developer to pay;.;for the costs of acquiring the land. , ' . This is very significant to Carlsbad because we have had - and continue to have - subdivision approval that require offsite access across other people's property in order to serve the project. With the one exception of Tamarack Avenue in Calavera Hills, where the City used eminent domain proceedings, the City has always left it to the developer to secure his offsite roads. A major example of this is the Carlsbad Highlands project. The developer, Mr. Barnes, is required to secure dedication of portions of Cannon Road and College Boulevard in order to gain access to El Camino Real. We are currently reviewing a tentative map - CT 82-7 (Mandana) - that is not adjacent to any public street. In order to develop -this project, the developer must acquire land and construct at at least two access roads across other people's property. These other people will eventually develop their land but have no proposals at this time. DECEMBER 28, 1982 OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS Paeie 2 As I read the new Subdivision Map Act requirement, the City could become obligated to acquire the offsite road right-of- way if this project is approved. Since the the adjacent owners have no plans yet for development, locating the road would be difficult or impossible and certainly subject to very lengthy negotiations. Therefore, I am recommending to Land Use Planning that the CT 82-7 (Mandana) project be held up until the effects of this new regulation are understood. It. will be important for us to get a clear understanding of the meaning of this provision. The City Attorney's input would be useful. This should be accomplished prior to the Engineering Department recommending approval of any sub- division with offsite road requirements. tRICHARD ALLEN RHArhmj Attachment: Excerpt .from 1982 Changes to Map Act C: City Attorney Assistant City Manager/Developmental Services Use Planning Manager r; DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES D Assistant City Manager (714) 438-5596 D Building Department (714)438-5525 D Enginsering Department (714) 438-5541 D Housing & Redevelopment Department 3C9S Harding Sf.
