COMPLETENESS REVIEW AND INITIAL ISSUES STATEMENT
PACIFIC POINTE, CT 94-02
The Engineering Department has completed its review of the subject project for application
completeness. The application and plans submitted for this project are incomplete and unsuitable
for further review due to the following missing or incomplete items:
1. Please identify the lot area for each proposed lot.
2. Please indicate the top and bottom elevations for all fences, walls, and retaining walls.
Show these elevations at each end and in the middle of the structure. Also, show the
worst condition elevation.
3. Please show the existing topographic contours within approximately a 100 foot perimeter
of the boundaries of the project site and sufficient to demonstrate that filling of this site
will not block drainage upstream.
4. Please identify the surface drainage slope on all side yards. The flow line to surface
drain a lot must maintain a minimum 1 % slope for drainage.
5. Please show site details for all recreation lots or areas.
In addition, the Engineering Department made a preliminary review of the project for
Engineering issues. Engineering issues which need to be resolved or adequately addressed prior
to conditioning of the project are as follows:
1. The proposed sewer easement shall be 14.5' wide, in accordance with a letter from the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District to BHA, Inc., dated December 13, 1993.
2. Drainage to the street should be conducted as surface flow. The use of a yard drain
system for lot drainage is strongly discouraged except in those cases where no other
alternatives are possible.
3. It appears that the proposed drainage swales within the side yards are located less than
5' from the buildings. The City requires that finish grading provide a minimum positive
drainage of 2% to swale 5' away from a building. This issue may be resolved by having
the Soils Engineer prepare a letter that indicates their approval of the proposed drainage
design.
4. In order to maintain sufficient drainage on Olive Avenue, this project will be required
to complete the cul-de-sac bulb by obtaining sufficient right-of-way and installing a
concrete curb and drainage inlet. These improvements will also require the installation
of a driveway apron for access to the adjacent parcel, which must be located a minimum
3' clear distance from the property line.
5. With regard to drainage on Date Avenue, we recommend the street improvements include
the installation of an asphalt swale along the right-of-way line, as an interim measure to
maintain drainage.
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.
