Apparently there has been some confusion on the status of the building. The building is complete, and we have moved our sales office into one of the units (#6340) temporarily while we removed our sales trailer to build the final building on the site. Although we have moved furniture into this one unit, we have not modified it in any way, and therefore no conversion is necessary. This building is on one permit, so until this issue is resolved, we cannot close any of the other units in the building. Please authorize Mr. Mike Black to finalize this building so we may proceed with closing the units on schedule. Thank you for your assistance. Please call me at (858) 654-4181 if you have any questions. John B.

Due to the challenges I explained to you this afternoon we will not have completed the pool and the pool facilities by May 2nd, the first closing in Building 14. We have scheduled all the necessary inspections to be completed by May 12th. Shea Homes appreciates and agrees with the City of Carlsbad that ensuring the homeowner's interests are always a priority. Per our conversation Shea Homes will pay for the next month's dues for each and every homeowner in the Valencia Community. A letter will be delivered to each of the 114 homeowners from Shea Homes expressing our apologies for being a month late on the delivery of their pool and pool facilities. In return the City will release the finals for Building 14 prior to the completion of the pool and the pool facilities. This request does not, however, release Shea Homes of its previous assurance to hold closings on units 95 through 98 until Building 13 has all of its scaffolding down and roofing complete. Again, I want to apologize for this situation, and thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, SHEA HOMES Ryan E.

Please let this letter serve as our commitment to achieve certain thresholds prior to finals being given by the planning and/or landscaping department. The following are the items that we had agreed to at our meeting on April 12, 2001: 1. Building 3 can be released prior to the pool area and related facilities for this community being complete. The pool area is scheduled to be complete two weeks after the first close of escrow in Building 3, which is expected on April 18, 2001. 2. Building 14 can be released once the pool area and all the facilities are complete with exception of certain walkways that have been identified for homeowner safety reasons. These walkways have been identified in the attached exhibits. Once the buildings nearest these walkways have all their scaffolding down and the roofing complete, the walkways will be opened. 3. Once Building 14 has been finaled Shea Homes will not close the four units that are of concern to the City of Carlsbad and Shea Homes regarding safe access, which are units 95, 96 97, and 98. When the building under construction, Building 13, has all the scaffolding down, roofing complete, and its westerly sidewalk complete, only then will Shea Homes allow these units to close. I want to thank you again for being patient and aiding me with this situation. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, SHEA HOMES Ryan E.

CARRILLO RANCH - VILLAGE "A" PRELIMINARY REVIEW PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed project encompasses the development of 172 multi-family units on approximately 11.5 acres within the Carrillo Ranch Master Plan known as Village "A". The net developable area is approximately 11.0 acres and the net density proposed is 15.6 dwelling units to the acre. The master developer of Carrillo Ranch has been processing a Master Plan Amendment that will modify the General Plan Land Use category from RM (4-8 du/ac) to RH (15-23 du/ac). Setbacks and development standards would be consistent with the criteria established in the amended Master Plan. The project as proposed includes five different plan types and 15 buildings, the majority of which are 12-plex structures. Some buildings will be modified to have fewer than 12 units, but all types have a motor-court with one entry drive off a main loop street. The buildings are proposed to be mission style architecture. The units, roof lines and building mass are articulated and tile roofs and architectural details are incorporated throughout. Garages are not the dominant visual feature as the motor courts are internal and hidden from public view. Additionally, the architectural elevations of the units along Melrose Drive will be enhanced and slope planting would be proposed to provide landscape screening of the structures from Melrose Drive. Entries to the units are accessed through landscaped green ways between buildings and pedestrian walkways will loop throughout the project providing easy access to parking and common active recreation facilities. Finally, patios and/or balconies are provided for each unit affording a private outdoor retreat area. The internal loop street will provide parking and sidewalks on both sides where it is 36' wide and parking and sidewalks on one side where it is 32' wide. The total number of parking provided is 344 resident spaces (2-car garages/unit) and 80 on-street parking for guests where only 48 spaces are required.

The purpose of this document is to safeguard property and public welfare by reviewing and regulating the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures. The Crime Prevention Unit presents recommendations in two sections, site considerations and building recommendations. Site Considerations D Lighting The police department suggests that individual buildings be equipped on all sides with lighting fixtures to illuminate the sides of the building. Light gives someone the perception of being seen. The lights do not have to be of considerable wattage, low levels of light are sufficient to provide a blanket of light. Equip parking areas with light that provides a maintained minimum of one (1) foot-candle of light at the ground level during the hours of darkness. Illuminate walkways and passages within the complex with a maintained minimum of one quarter (.25) foot-candle at the ground level during the hours of darkness. Provide additional light in common areas such as mail boxes and recreation centers. Further, equip fixtures with dawn to dusk sensors or timers, including balcony lighting. The department recommends that the fixtures be adapted to use something other than an incandescent bulb for energy efficiency. Ensure the light is directed to illuminate the sides of the building not just the area surrounding the building. Protect the fixtures with vandal resistant covers. D Light Sources • Incandescent or Halogen lamps are short lived and fairly expensive to operate. They put out a nice bright light and are easy to control. They are compact. • Fluorescent lamps are less expensive to operate than Incandescent or Halogen and have a longer life. They put out a good light but are a little more difficult to direct. They are larger than the previous two. • Mercury Vapor lamps are less expensive to operate than Incandescent or Halogen and have a long life. Their color is not as good as fluorescent but they are easier to direct and control. They are compact. • Metal Halide lamps require fewer fixtures to illuminate an area but have a shorter life than Mercury Vapor. They provide an excellent light and are easy to direct and control. They are compact. • High Pressure Sodium Vapor lamps require few fixtures and have a low operating cost. The fixtures are expensive to purchase. They put out an excellent light and are easy to direct and control. They are compact. • Low Pressure Sodium Lamps have the lowest operating cost of all the lamps. The fixtures are expensive but few are required. They put out a yellow light and the clarity is not good. They are easy to direct and control. They are longer in size. D Landscaping Keep exterior landscaping at a minimal height and fullness giving police, security services and the public surveillance capabilities into the area. Plant low profile shrubs, below three feet. Design landscaping to keep a space between the tops of shrubs and the bottoms of trees. Ensure the canopy of a tree is not lower than five feet. Do not allow trees to provide access to the roof or balconies. Let landscaping augment, not deter from lighting. Apply security plants where necessary to prevent loitering and tampering. Security plants have prickly leaves or thorns. They limit access over fences and through windows. They also reduce concealing and loitering. Plant low level security plants on or around problem areas. Security landscaping, used with appropriate fences provides excellent security, deterring intruders. For a list of security plants, please contact the Crime Prevention Office at 931-2105. If you design hills, burms and landscaping to conceal a house, you also provide a place for an intruder to hide. For optimal security, allow surveillance of a house from the street and from neighboring yards. Install walls and fences that are see through for surveillance. Tall solid walls around and within a complex provide cover. Walls and fences at entrance ways should allow surveillance. Prune trees away from fences to not provided access over the fence. Thick foliage at the fence line impairs yard visibility and conceals a breach in the fence. Lock gates and install gates that allow surveillance. D Addressing On the street side of the residence, display a street number in a prominent location. Make the numbers visible to approaching emergency vehicles. The numerals should be no less than four (4) inches in height and should be of a contrasting color to the background to which they are attached. Display house numbers be displayed in illuminated fixtures. D Entrances Keep entrance ways clear of clutter. Make sure you allow vision from the front access street to front door entrance. Homes that have been designed without this consideration have been more susceptible to front entrance penetration. Surveillance is important. Building Considerations D Doors Install wooden doors into the residence of solid core construction with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths (1-3/4) inches. This includes the garage pedestrian door, and the door from the garage into the residence. Further, equip all doors with a single cylinder dead-bolt lock using a 5-pin tumbler. Connect the dead-bolt to the inner portion of the lock by connecting screws. Ensure the lock has a one inch throw that can withstand a cutting tool attack. Choose a dead-bolt that embeds at least three-fourths of an inch into the strike plate. Finally, re- enforce the strike plate with a minimum of two, 3 inch screws. Arrange all entry and exit doors to dwelling units 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, install no glass panels within forty inches of a locking device. Doors that are partially glass also require a single cylinder dead-bolt lock. Also, equip these doors with a burglar resistant glaze to prevent someone from breaking the glass to enter the home. D Sliding Doors Install metal guide track at the top and bottom of horizontal sliding. 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, equip the door with security hardware such as a pin. D Double Doors The inactive leaf of a double door requires the same solid core construction as a single door and should be equipped with metal flush bolts, having a minimum embedment of five-eighths (5/8) inch into the head and threshold of the door frame. D Hinges Use hinges for out-swinging doors with non-removable hinge pins or mechanical interlock to preclude removal of the door from the exterior by removing the hinge pins. D Garage Doors Install two receiving points on doors that exceed sixteen feet in width; or, if the door does not exceed nineteen feet, use a single bolt if placed in the center of the door, with the locking point located either at the floor or door frame header. Or, use a torsion spring counter balance type hardware. D Windows Equip all movable windows with security hardware to prevent them from being lifted from the frame. By, Jodeene R.
