the CC&R's).
"No structure, fence, wall, tree, shrub, sign, or other object over 30 inches above the
street level may be placed or permitted to encroach within the area identified as a sight
distance corridor in accordance with City Standard Public Street-Design Criteria, Section
8.B.3. The underlying property owner shall maintain this condition."
Fees/Agreements
50. The developer shall pay all current fees and deposits required.
51. The owner of the subject property shall execute an agreement holding the City harmless
regarding drainage across the adjacent property.
52. The owner shall enter into a lien contract for the future public improvement of Highland Drive
along the subdivision frontage for a half street width of 30 feet. Public improvements shall
include, but not be limited to, paving, base, sidewalks, curbs and gutter, medians, grading,
clearing and grubbing, undergrounding or relocation of utilities, sewer, water, fire hydrants,
street lights and retaining walls.
55. The owner shall execute a hold harmless agreement for geologic failure.
56. Prior to approval of any grading or building permits for this project, the owner shall give written
consent to the annexation of the area shown within the boundaries of the subdivision plan into
the existing City of Carlsbad Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 on a form provided
by the City.
Grading
58. Based upon a review of the proposed grading and the grading quantities shown on the tentative
map grading permit for this project will be required. The developer must submit and receive
approval for grading plans in accordance with city codes and standards prior to issuance of a
building permit for the project.
59. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs first, the developer
shall submit proof that a Notice of Intention has been submitted to the State Water Resources
Control Board.
60. Upon completion of grading, the developer shall ensure that an "as-graded" geologic plan is
submitted to the City Engineer. The plan shall clearly show all the geology as exposed by the
grading operation, all geologic corrective measures as actually constructed and must be based on
a contour map which represents both the pre and post site grading. This plan shall be signed by
both the soils engineer and the engineering geologist. The plan shall be prepared on a 24" x 36"
mylar or similar drafting film and shall become a permanent record.
61. No grading for private improvements shall occur outside the limits of the subdivision unless a
grading or slope easement or agreement is obtained from the owners of the affected properties
and recorded. If the developer is unable to obtain the grading or slope easement, or agreement,
no grading permit will be issued. In that case the developer must either amend the tentative map
or modify the plans so grading will not occur outside the project site in a manner which
substantially conforms to the approved tentative map as determined by the City Engineer and
Planning Director.

installed prior to or concurrent with any grading or building permit as may be required by the
City Engineer.

to right-of-way width of 34 feet and in conformance with City of Carlsbad Standards.
66. Prior to issuance of building permits, the developer shall underground all existing overhead
utilities along the subdivision boundary.
69. The drainage system shall be designed to ensure that runoff resulting from 10-year frequency
storms of 6 hours and 24 hours duration under developed conditions, are equal to or less than the
runoff from a storm of the same frequency and duration under existing developed conditions.
Both 6 hour and 24 hour storm durations shall be analyzed to determine the detention basin
capacities necessary to accomplish the desired results.
70. The developer shall comply with the City's requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The developer shall provide best management practices as
