As we have discussed at our privious meetings, this project is only requesting two modifications to City standards: 1. Reduction of street width from 30' to 24'. 2. A 5' setback instead of a 20' setback for units adjacent to private streets B, K & I. The two requested modifications are essential for the success of the project. It would not be financially feasible to develop this project without these modifications. Strict adherence to the requirement for 30' streets and a 20' setback for all units on a private drdiveway serving more than 12 units would significantly reduce the number of units in this project. When evaluating this proposal you should considr the following: 1. The applicant is only requesting two modifications to City Development Standards. 5900 Pasteur Court • Suite 150 • Carlsbad • CA 92008 • (760)438-1465 • Fax: (760)438-2443 Hofman Planning 2^ s Thg recjuctioji ofj strejt wjdth^was £ suggestion by staff.
