North County has received about twice what San Diego has out of the last several storms. With no further rain during the next two weeks, UDC Homes will be able to complete the work based on the current permit requirements. According to our permits, we are to be completed with the heavy equipment operation by February 15, 1997, 16 working days from now including working on Saturdays. As of today, Lots 2 through 13 of Mar Vista are completed. In 10 days, all the rough grading/major movement of earthwork will be completed, leaving six days to do the fine grading. The Contractor will concentrate first on completing the rough grading and fine grading on the lots around the perimeter of the project adjacent to the natural open-space areas and will complete the interior of the project last. The storm drain work down the previously disturbed north slope of Mar Vista will be started as soon as the grading on Lots 18, 19, and 20 is completed. This drainage system should be completed by February 15, 1997. If we have more rain in the next week or two and we would not be completed with the heavy equipment operation as projected, we would like to offer the following: Starting Monday, February 17, 1997, we would have our environmental consultant (Mooney & Associates) monitor the slopes along the north and east side of Emerald Ridge West for potential disturbance to nesting gnatcatchers, if any. We would continue with the monitoring until we are finished with the heavy equipment work or until no later then February 28, 1997. 703 Palomar Rirport Road + Suite 300 *• Carlsbad, California 92009 (619)438-3182 FflX (619) 438-0173 Ms. Laurinda Owens January 29, 1997 Page 2 Note: The City, in their conditions, prohibit heavy construction equipment adjacent to the north and east side of Emerald Ridge West from March 1, 1997 through July 31, 1997. On Mar Vista, the environmental consultant (Recon) stated that noise from the construction of the project would not significantly impact gnatcatchers in the areas, and the City has not conditioned the project with any grading time limitation. In summary, we feel we have enough time to complete the heavy construction activity as originally planned and conditioned. If we do get more rain that would delay us, we ask for additional time to complete the work to February 28, 1997. Thank you for your help. Please call me after you have had a chance to consider our request. I have attached a marked up map of the projects showing our current progress. Sincerely, Ladwig Design Group, Inc. Robert C.
