McQuade 306 Olive Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 February 17, .995 Mayor Lewis: We have been waiting for an answer from you since our meeting on February 2, 1995. The safety of our neighborhood is very important to us and all of our neighbors. We had strongly stated that a street should be put through from Olive to Date so that people from both streets would have an exit in case of a fire or the street being blocked in an emergency situation. Why have you not investigated and gotten back to us as you said you would? ------ Mayor Lewis, we asked for you to meet us at the property where the proposed Pacific Point Project is to be built You would not From this sight, you can visibly see the change in elevation from where the proposed house would be located compared to the elevation of our home at 306 Olive Avenue. They are raising the elevation at least 3 feet. They may claim it's only half; but is a glass of water half empty or half full? We have asked for this not to be elevated so that this would provide privacy to our home at 306 and to the first floor of the home that is proposed at this site. Mayor Lewis, we felt that asking staff to attend our meeting without our consent or our knowledge was totally inappropriate. We feel, as taxpayers and voters of Carlsbad, we have the right to express our opinions to you. as a Council Member and Mayor, without having the Planning Commission there to oppose every point We are concerned about parking. We ask that Pacific Point provide parking according to the Planned Development Ordinance, which we could not get a direct answer to or copy of the Planned Development Ordinance to say exactly what that is. We were told in the meeting that each home provides an 8.5 X 20 foot space, according to Gary. We looked at the plans and fail to see where space is provided at each home. The proposed size of the lots are not compatible with the neighborhood. The lot sizes are approximately 40% smaller than any other single family housing in the area. Ma\ui Lewis, we bough: iiuu Liiis rieigiiboiiiOuu \Viiii uia ndiu cdiueu money, because it offered the quality of life we wish to have. We feel strongiy that this project does not add to. but subtracts from our neighborhood. We asK, for the safety and the quality of life, that the Pacific Pointe Project be corrected before it is too late. Sincerely.
