Stripe Grand Pacific Resorts, Inc. Post Office Box 4068 Carlsbad, C A 92018 RE: Paleontological Resources, Carlsbad Seapointe Resort Addition (CT 97-06) Dear Mr. Stripe: It is my understanding that the above referenced project has a paleontological resource condition attached to the development permit. However, after reviewing the project description and geotechnical report (Geocon, Inc.), and after discussing the grading plans with the engineer, it seems that development of the site will not result in any impacts to significant paleontological resources (i.e., fossils). The project site is underlain by late Pleistocene-aged (younger than 85,000 years old) alluvial deposits that elsewhere in Carlsbad have failed to yield any fossil remains. On the project site, these alluvial deposits are at least 30 feet thick. Although the upper 10 feet of this thickness will be impacted by the proposed earthwork, it is this upper 10 feet that has been most disturbed by the combined processes of natural weathering, soil formation, and earlier agricultural activities. Taken together, the young age of the deposits, their surficial location, and their disturbance indicate a very limited, if not non- existent, potential for containing significant paleontological resources. If you have any questions or concerns, please call at 232-3821, extension 232. Sincerely, Thomas A. Demere, Ph.D. Curator, Department of Paleontology cc: Mr. George O'Day Mr. Mike Howes Mr. John Mattox Post Office Box 1390 • San Diego, California 92112 • Telephone: 619-232-3821 • Fax:619-232-0248 Printer! nn rervrled nnner City of Carlsbad Planning Department PLANNING COMMISSION NOTICE OF DECISION December 15, 1997 Grand Pacific Resorts 5050 Avenida Encinas, Suite 200 Carlsbad, CA 92008 Attention: Tim Stripe SUBJECT: CT 97-06/CP 97-04/CUP 97-04(E)/SDP 94-04(6) - SEAPOINTE RESORT EXPANSION At the Planning Commission meeting of December 3, 1997, your application was considered.

White BS, DOS, MS 6910 Sandcastle Drive Carlsbad, California 92009 December 02,1997 City of Carlsbad Planning Department 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, California 92009-1576 Dear Commissioners: I have grave concerns about the height discrepancy between the Timeshare addition and the adjacent housing. I also have grave concerns about present and future parking at Seapointe Resort. Before I get to the main focus of my objections I would like explain why I am interested in the project surrounding this area. I have plans to build a house and live in the La Costa Downs Subdivision. La Costa Downs will be a very unique community in the City of Carlsbad, each one of the 41 homes will be custom built. Within the next year, 8 to 12 homes will appear in the La Costa Downs Subdivision, I currently have an application with the Coastal Commission. Grand Pacific Resorts and the City of Carlsbad have been very sensitive to the height discrepancy between the Timeshare addition (45 feet in the rear) and the potential adjacent homes (25 feet). The height difference is about 20 feet. To help the Timeshare blend into the residential area, the unit closes to Carlsbad Blvd. were reduced to 2 floors (25 feet). This brought the Timeshare's height more in line with the residential area on Surfside Lane. The height on the back units remained 3 floors. The Planning Department and Grand Pacific Resorts looked at options to step this area down, however no satisfactory solution was found. This height differential will have the greatest effect on my property affecting my quality of live and the appearance of both properties. This would be analogous to building my house in a hole. I realize this can not be addresses at this meeting, but could you have staff look into allowing my adjacent La Costa Down properties to build to 30 feet to help reduce the height differential. When the La Costa Downs Specific Plan was written the Building Code was 25 feet, it is currently 30 feet. Seapointe Resort has a parking problem. The officers of Grand Pacific Resorts are well aware of what is producing this problem. Their company has a history of building and marketing several Timeshares. The owners have a keen sense of the number of people that must be contacted and toured through their facility to sale 78 Timeshare units for 50 weeks a year. These officers are keenly aware that to maintain the facility as sold out, that some sales staff must be present or make frequent visits. The owners are keenly aware of the number of operational support staff that is needed to run this facility. These officers are keenly aware that the use of the facility can be sold without purchasing the Timeshare unit. These officers are keenly aware that their Timeshare owners will bring visitors. The Timeshare expansion should not be allow to go forward until this parking problems are resolved. The parking problems have persisted since their opening in August 1996. Seapointe Resort and La Costa Downs are border to the North by an environment set aside, east by the railroad, south by Lanikai Mobil Home Park, and west by Carlsbad Blvd. Since creating additional parking is not an option, this problem needs to be corrected prior to any Timeshare expansion. Seapointe Resort conducted a study to bring light to this issue, however I believe this study is seriously flawed. I would like to point out some of their short falls. 1. The memorandum dated September 03, 1997 to the Planning Department, note in the first paragraph the following statement," The attached Exhibits "A" - "C" are based on observations by Tim Stripe and the Staff at Seapointe Resort." If Seapointe Resort conducted the study, why was it placed on Hofman Planning Associates letterhead? • Page 1 December 2,1997 2. When a good study is conducted specific data is collected over a specific period of time, the data and time do not vary. Complete data collection assists in validating the study and allows cross-checking for correctness. Seapoint'e's Resorts collected data in a very haphazard manner. The following are examples: a. Exhibit "A", this data was collected from 02 July - 25 Aug 1997 (Their chart was labeled with the wrong date). 1. Data was collected on: a. Sales/Operation Staff b. Day Use c. Public Beach 2. Note: Data that was collected on West Dirt Lot started 10 Aug 1997. b. Exhibit "B", this data was collected from 10 Aug - 25 Aug 1997 (Their chart was labeled with the wrong date). 1. Data was collected on: a. Occupancy Count b. Day Use Log Book Count c. Guest d. Employee e. Other f. Open 2. Note: A data point changed midway in the study. From "Employee" to "Operation Employee and Sales Employee" c. Exhibit "C" this data was collected from 27 July to 25 August. d. Enclosures 1 to 11 details additional short fall in Seapointe's Resort Study (All graphs were made using Seapointe's Resort raw data). Seapointe's Resort Study tries to blur the parking issue, the issues are: 1. When Seapointe Resort is completely sold out and at full capacity year round, will Seapointe Resort have provided parking for each one of its units? 2. When Seapointe's Resort Timeshare owners have guest will Seapointe Resort has adequate parking for their guest? 3. When Seapointe's Resort Timeshare owners use the facility for Day Use will Seapointe Resort have adequate parking for the Day Use Timeshare owners? December 2,1997 4. When Seapointe Resort sells "Day Use" packages (these people do not own a Timeshare unit) for unlimited use of the facility for one year will Seapointe Resort provide adequate parking? 5. What will be the size of Seapointe's Resort support staff and how many parking spaces will be needed? 6. When Seapointe Resort guests use the facility (club house, patios, pool) for conferences will Seapointe have adequate parking. As part of my presentation may I leave this folder as part of the official record. Please note the following: 1. The persistence of the parking problem since their opening. 2. Thirty-nine cars parked in the beach parking lot and 3 cars parked on Surfside Lane at 11:00 am the day after Thanksgiving 1997. Why would people going to the beach park on Surfside Lane during the weekday and non-holiday weekends, when 75 spots are available in the lot across Carlsbad Blvd.? Sincerely, . B.

First of all, the location couldn't be better. It's within close proximity to restaurants and the Village of Carlsbad, and the view from the rooms is wonderful and makes for a relaxing and romantic get-away. Secondly, the "feel" of the place is perfect. Everything from the buildings design, down to the decorations in the rooms makes you feel at home and relaxed. On several occasions we have taken our small children to stay at the resort as well. The staff has been very friendly to them; and the facilities, such as the playground (and of course, the pool) ensure that they too will enjoy themselves. Although our home is only a few miles away from the resort, it is always a treat to spend a week, or even just a weekend, at the Carlsbad Seapointe Resort. It's not always easy to travel far away for a vacation, so it's nice to feel like we're "getting away from it all" when we're really so close to home. Keep up the good work and we look forward to our next visit to Carlsbad Seapointe Resort.

On Wednesday September 10,1997 it was observed that although there were a number of vacant parking spaces at the parking lot adjacent to the north end of the Carlsbad State Campground, beach goers were parking on Surfside Lane and walking across the street to use the beach. Previously, it was our opinion that the only reason that beach goers were parking on Surfside Lane adjacent to the Seapointe project was due to the lack of parking adjacent to the beach. Tim Stripe spent some time talking to a number of the people that were parking on Surfside Lane and asked them why they were parking on Surfside when there was parking available at the north end of the campground adjacent to the beach. The people parking there said that there were a number of reasons that they preferred to park on Surfside Lane, rather than the parking adjacent to the beach. 1. They said they like the fact that Surfside Lane is cleaner then the parking lot adjacent to the beach, they could get out of their cars on to a nice clean sidewalk rather than a dirty parking lot with broken asphalt, glass and pot holes; 2. From Surfside Lane they can safely cross Carlsbad Boulevard and enter the State Campgrounds through the gate at the north end of the park. From there it is a short walk to use a stairway to access the beach. Many people felt that this was a safer option than climbing down the primitive dirt trails in front of the parking lot; 3. They like to use the showers and the bathrooms at the State Park. When they walk through the campground to use the stairway they walk right past the 2386 Faraday Avenue • Suite 120 • Carlsbad • CA 92008 • (619)438-1465 • Fax: (619)438-2443 FROM 9.12. 1997 14: 20 P. 3 bathrooms and showers. As you are aware there are no restrooms or showers at the beach north of the campground; 4. They feel that their cars are safer left alone on Surfside Lane rather than in the parking lot directly off of Carlsbad Boulevard; and, 5. They can use Seapointe Resort's outside showers and Jacuzzi before the jump in their cars and drive home. In light of this information, it seems that it does not matter what time of the year it is or how many empty parking spaces there are at the beach parking lot, a certain per centage of beach goers will continue to park along Surfside Lane. There is nothing the Seapointe Resort can do to control the public from parking on public streets. These streets are providing convenient parking for the public when they go to the beach. This is one of the goals of Carlsbad's Coastal Program. The Seapointe Resort should not be punished because of people parking adjacent to their project when they go to the beach. Please call me if you have any questions or need any additional information. ***END*** RECEIVED Hofman Planning SEP031997 Associates CITY OF CARLSBAD PLANNING DEPT. Planning Project Management Fiscal Analysis MEMORANDUM DATE: September 3, 1997 TO: Christer Westman FROM: Mike Howes SUBJECT: Seapointe Resort Parking Study The purpose of this memo is to clarify some misconceptions regarding parking on the public streets adjacent to the Seapointe Resort. The attached Exhibits "A" -"C" are based on observations by Tim Stripe and the staff at Seapointe Resort. These observations were made during the months of July and August when parking demand in this area would be at its highest. Exhibit "A" is a parking count for Surfside Lane which was carried out between July 2, 1997 and August 25, 1997. Parking counts on Surfside Lane were made at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day. These hours represent the hours when most sales activity would be taking place. Exhibit "A" shows parking spaces used by sales/operations staff, day use and public beach users. For the purpose of this study, "day use" can be defined as any timeshare owner who came to use the timeshare facilities for the day, but who was not staying overnight. "Public Beach" use can be defined as people who were not timeshare owners, but who simply came to the area to park on the public street in front of Seapointe Resort and walk to the beach. Sales/operational staff includes the sales personal as well as the hospitality staff at the resort. Exhibit "B" is a parking count for Seapointe Resort's parking garage which was carried out between August 10, 1997 and August 25, 1997. Parking counts in the parking garage were made at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day. Exhibit B shows the occupancy rate for the timeshare units and the day use log book count. Exhibit "B" also shows the number of parking spaces used by guests, employees, other, and the number of spaces which were open. In this case other refers to cars whose ownership could not be determined. As Exhibit "B" shows, at 11:00 a.m. an 3:00 p.m. many of the parking spaces in the parking garage were vacant. Only once during the entire period of observation were there more day users than vacant parking spaces in the parking garage. Most of the time there were usually enough vacant parking spaces in the underground parking garage to provide parking for three times as many day users as those using the facilities. Exhibit "C" is the day use log book between July 27, 1997 and August 25, 1997. All day users are required to sign in when they use the facilities. Day users are then given a placard to put on the dashboard of their vehicle. They are also directed to use the underground parking garage. This log book was used to provide the day use information provided in Exhibit "A". 2386 Faraday Avenue ° Suite 120 • Carlsbad • CA 92008 • (619)438-1465 « Fax: (619)438-2443 As mentioned previously, day users are directed to park in the underground parking garage, as are the employees and sales staff. People attending sales presentations are requested to use the valet parking which will park their cars on the property being leased from the City on the west side of Surfside Lane. The majority of the people cooperate with these instructions, but there is always a certain % that prefer to park on the street. However, this study shows that there is always sufficient parking to accommodate them in either the parking garage or the property being leased from the City. Based on the information provided by these exhibits and the observations of the staff at the Seapointe Resort the following conclusions can be made: 1. The beach north of the Carlsbad State Beach Campground is one of the best beaches in Carlsbad and there is inadequate beach parking provided west of Carlsbad Boulevard adjacent to this beach. 2. The vast majority of the parking on the public streets adjacent to the Seapointe Resort is created by people using the adjacent public beach on a daily basis. This situation is occurring because the development of the Seapointe Resort provided parking on public streets with a safe signalized access to the adjacent beach. 3. There is more than adequate parking in the parking garage and leased parking lot to accommodate the daily users of the resort as well as any sales personal. The managers of the Seapointe Resort can request that these people park in the parking garage, and most of them will, but there is always as certain small per centage that will not comply. 4. The public streets are serving one of the goals of the City - providing safe, convenient parking for people using the adjacent public beach. 5. The perceived parking congestion on these streets has been created by beach users, not the Seapointe Resort. 6. It is estimated that the project should be sold out by January, 1999 and all sales activity will cease at this site. This will free up even more parking. If you have any questions or need additional information please feel free to call me at 438-1465. cc: Michael Holzmiller Gary Wayne Parking Count on Surfside Lane Week of 7/2 - 7/5/97 Sales/Operations Staff Day Use Public Beach Sunday 10:00 12:00 3:00 Monday 10:00 12:00 3:00 Tuesday 10:00 12:00 3:00 Wednesday 10:00 0 0 1 12:00 1 0 5 3:00 0 0 15 Thursday 10:00 0 0 0 12:00 0 0 8 3:00 0 0 10 Friday 10:00 c 3 5 12:00 1 10 12 3:00 O 15 16 Saturday 10:00 S 2 12:00 e 2 32 3:00 d 32 Parking Count on Surfside Lane Week of 7/6 -

Traffic Engineer CITY OF CARLSBAD Engineering Department 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad CA 92009-1576 Re: Illegal Posting of "No Parking" Dear Bob: Thank you for your letter of July 17, 1997. I apologize for the confusion that our staff may have caused by posting unapproved "No Parking" signs along Surfside Lane. Many times, especially on weekends, the parking on Surfside Lane is very intense. In the majority of all instances, the parking is not related to our project. Rather, it is the beach goers. This has been especially the case since the dredging of the Batiquitos Lagoon, which has resulted in a very nice beach for the public to enjoy, and in turn has intensified the use and the need for additional parking. Again, Bob, thank you for your letter. Please know that we will do everything possible to abide by the parking standards imposed by the City. Very truly yours, jRAND PACIF SORTS, INC. Timothy J.

These cones indicate NO PARKING TOW AWAY and are intended to reserve private parking on a public street. The practice of illegally posting a NO PARKING zone in the public right-of-way by your valet service must cease immediately. Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 10.16.010 indicates that "the City Traffic Engineer shall have the exclusive power and duty to place and maintain or cause to be placed and maintained official traffic control devices...". Furthermore, the placement of the cones is a violation of State law as defined in the California Vehicle Code. Please direct your valet service to immediately stop placing the cones in the public right-of-way and not in any way attempt to control or direct traffic in the public right-of-way for private purposes. While we do not expect this issue to continue, any cones or other devices placed in the public right-of-way by your staff or valet service will be removed by City forces without notice. It is my understanding that this issue has previously been brought to your attention, cooperation in the matter is appreciated. Your *f~*>\yW \ ( ROBERT T. JOHNSON, JR., P.E.

The Carlsbad Seapointe Resort is adjacent to this road on the east side. An individual from Sunset Valet told me that "the City" told them to put the cones in the street to reserve parking for valet parking only. The white cones indicate NO PARKING except for valet parking. These cones were in the street again this morning. I would be surprised if Seapointe officials have been authorized by staff to use public street parking for their private valet purposes. If this is an illegal action on their part, it should be immediately addressed as a CUP violation, coastal parking issue, etc. If they are authorized for the valet parking in this manner, I would appreciate knowing this so as not to bring this to your attention again.

PLANS ATTACHED FRM0020 5/94 Date: May 7,1997 To: Planning Department From: Police Department/Crime Prevention Subject: Plan Review-CT 97-06 Plan Review Recommendations The following are optimal security suggestions provided by the Carlsbad Police Department. The purpose is to create an atmosphere that is free from crime opportunities. The recommendations are presented in two sections, site considerations and building recommendations. Site Issues Lighting It is suggested that aisles, passageways and recesses related to and within the building complex should be illuminated with an intensity of at least twenty-five one hundredths (.25) footcandles at the ground level during the hours of darkness. Lighting devices should be protected by weather and vandalism-resistant covers. Open parking lots should be protected by a maintained minimum of one (1) footcandle of light on the parking surface during the hours of darkness. White lights provide better vision and surveillance capabilities than do yellow lights. Yet, yellow lights prevent loitering because they are monochromatic. Lighting devices should be protected by weather and vandalism covers. Light enhances surveillance capabilities. Light also provides comfort for patrons and employees while moving through the property after the hours of darkness. Appropriate lighting in parking enhances the security of vehicles. Landscaping Exterior landscaping should be kept at a minimal height and fullness giving police, security services and the general public surveillance capabilities of the area. Bushes and shrubs should be low profile, not exceeding three feet in height. There should be space between the bottom of trees and the tops of bushes or shrubs. Tree canopies should not be lower than five feet. Landscaping higher than three feet should not be planted in front of windows. Landscaping should be designed to not detract from lighting. All entrances should be kept clear of clutter. Perimeter landscaping and burms should not take away from surveillance into the property. Security plants can be applied where necessary to prevent loitering and tampering. For further information on security landscaping contact the police department's crime prevention unit. Fences and gates should not be solid but allow surveillance. Landscaping should not be design to provide access over fences. Thick foliage along a fence line can conceal a breech in the fence. Further, landscaping should not provide access to second story balconies. Addressing A street number should be displayed prominently on the street side of the building. The number should be placed in a position that is easily visible to emergency vehicles to hasten their approach. The numbers should be no less than four (4) inches in height and should be of a contrasting color to the building to which they are attached. It is also recommended that the numbers be illuminated at night. The unit doors within the complex should have clearly defined identification. Building Recommendations Doors Hollow steel doors shall have a minimum sixteen U.S. gauge and have sufficient reinforcement to maintain the designed thickness of the door when any locking device is installed. Glass doors shall have fully tempered glass or rated burglary resistant glazing. All exterior door should be protected with security hardware. The jamb on all aluminum frame swinging doors shall be so constructed or protected to withstand 1600 pounds of pressure in both a vertical distance of three inches and horizontal distance of one inch each side of the strike, so as to prevent violation of the strike. All wooden doors into the units should be of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths (1-3/4) inches. Further, all unit doors should be equipped with a single cylinder deadbolt lock using a 5-pin tumbler that should be connected to the inne r portion of the lock by connecting screws. The lock should have a one inch throw that has been designed to withstand a cutting tool attack. The deadbolt should embed at least three-fourths of an inch into the strike plate. Finally, the strike plate should be reenforced with a minimum of two, 3 inch screws. All entry and exit doors to units should be arranged so that the occupant has a view of the area immediately outside the door without opening the door. Except doors requiring a fire protection rating that prohibits them, such view may be provided by a door viewer having a field of view of not less than 190 degrees. Mounting height should not exceed fifty- four inches from the floor. Further, here should not be glass panels within forty inches of a locking device. Doors that are partially glass also require a single cylinder deadbolt lock. Also, they should be equipped with a burglar resistant glaze to prevent someone from breaking the glass to enter the home. Sliding Doors Horizontal sliding doors should be equipped with a metal guide track at top and bottom. The bottom track should be so designed that the door cannot be lifted from the track when the door is in the locked position. Also, the door should also be equipped with security hardware such as a pi Windows Movable windows should be equipped with security hardware.

Physical compatibility of the proposed buildings with the subdivision to the south (La Costa Downs) should be described in greater detail. I would suggest the preparation of sections at three or four locations along Island Way which will graphically portray the transition from La Costa Downs into the Seapointe Resort Hofman Planning A i a t Planning Project Management Fiscal Analysis March 24, 1997 Christer Westman Planning Department 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009 Subject: Seapointe Resort Expansion Project - Coastal Permit Dear Christer: The purpose of this letter is to confirm the information I received from you during our telephone conversation on March 20, 1997. I had called to discuss the need for a Site Development Plan for the Seapointe Resort expansion project after you informed Stuart Fisk of our office that you believed an SDP would be required. This conversation lead to a discussion regarding having to go back to the Coastal Commission for approval of this project. I stated that we would like to avoid going back to the Coastal Commission for this project. I was concerned that the more amendments we did to the existing Seapointe Resort, the more likely we were to have to go to the Coastal Commission. You stated that you do not anticipate that this project would be going back to the Coastal Commission since we are not amending the previous Coastal Permit, but that the City would be issuing a new Coastal Permit for this project. This is an important issue since our timeline and financing would be greatly affected by the additional three months of processing that would be required to get through Coastal Commission approval. Based on cur conversation, Grand Pacific Resorts is doing all of their planning and basing their financing on the City Council approving the Coastal Permit for this project. Please call me if there are any errors or misunderstandings in this letter. Sincerely, Mike Howes cc.
