SUBJECT: CT 98-2VSDP 98-fr4 - Seaview g-Lot Subdivision Thank you for applying for Land Use Permits in the City of Carlsbad. The Planning Department has reviewed your tentative subdivision map, application no. CT 98-211SDP 98-42, as to its completeness for processing. The application is incomplete, as submitted. Attached are two lists. The first list is information which must be submitted to complete your application. This list of items must be submitted directly to your staff planner by appointment. All list items must be submitted simultaneously and a copy of this list must be included with your submittals. No processing of your application can occur until the application is determined to be complete. The second list is issues of concern to staff. When all required materials are submitted the City has 30 days to make a determination of completeness. If the application is determined to be complete, processing for a decision on the application will be initiated. In addition, please note that you have six months from the date the application was initially filed, December 28, 1998, to either resubmit the application or submit the required information. Failure to resubmit the application or to submit the materials necessary to determine your application complete shall be deemed to constitute withdrawal of the application. If an application is withdrawn or deemed withdrawn, a new application must be submitted. Please contact your staff planner, Barbara Kennedy, at (760) 438-l 161, extension 4325, if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss the application. Sincerely, Planning Director MJH:BK:mh c: Gary Wayne Chris DeCerbo, Team Leader Clyde Wickham, Project Engineer Bobbie Hoder File Copy Data Entry Planning Aide 2075 La Palmas Dr. - Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 l (760) 438-l 161 - FAX (760) 438-0894 LIST OF ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION No. CT 98-21/SDP 98-24 Planning: 1. The project will not require a Hillside Development Permit because the slope of the lot has an average slope of less than 15%. 2. Show the lot width for parcels with front property lines having less than 75 feet. Lot width is measured at the 20 foot front setback line. 3. Cul-de-sac lots require a minimum front property line dimension of 33 feet. Please revise Lot 6 to meet this requirement. 4. Please revise the plans to include: 1) revised grading quantities (as necessary); 2) indicate the project application number on the plans (i.e. CT 98-21/SDP 98-24); and 3) indicate the proposed lot coverage for each lot. 5. Please indicate the location of the borrow site and include a preliminary haul route map. 6. Please revise the architectural plans as follows: 1) indicate the height of the buildings; 2) indicate a minimum interior dimension for the garage of 20’ x 20’ clear; and 3) show the square footage of the inclusionary unit. 7. Street trees shall be incorporated into the conceptual landscape plans. Engineering: General: 1. The proposed subdivision will be responsible to obtain easements required to serve this project. The proposed 10’ wide storm drain easement is insufficient for a public system. If the street is public, and it drains into this system the system must be designed to public standards, including width of easement. 2. The width of lot 6 must be at least 33’ unless a PUD is proposed. 3. The City’s sight distance corner cut-offs should be shown on lot 9. Water: 4. The proposed sewer and water services (clean-outs and meters) should be included on sheet 1 as a typical condition. Meters and clean-outs should kept clear of driveways. Please show the complete water system including Offsite looped or connecting systems. Contact CMWD for design details and specifics. Grading & Drainaae: 5. 6. 7. The proposed grading could be reduced if stepped pads were used for lots 1, 2 and 3. Using steps would reduce the 15’ slope along the rear of this project and fit the existing terrain a lot better. The existing terrain is gentle sloped to the west. It contrast, the proposed slope will change the character and terrain considerably. The proposed typical drainage detail on sheet 1 applies to lots 1, 2 and 3. The majority of the lots drain to the street, contrary to the typical. Also the 5’ minimum distance shown in detail, from house to flow line should be maintained. Attached is a red-lined check print of the proposed project for the applicants use in making the requested revisions. This check print must be returned with the project revisions to facilitate continued staff review. ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. If the project is approved, an application for a Second Dwelling Unit (SDU) will be required for each of the SDU’s prior to issuance of a building permit. Lots I, 2 and 3 will be subject to an additional structure setback from top of slope. A structure setback of .7:1 (vertical height of structure) must be provide for lots which have slopes equal to or greater than 15 feet elevation and 15% slope. The maximum height for retaining walls within the front setback is 42 inches. Please revise the retaining walls which exceed the height limit. Redesign Lot 9 to eliminate the retaining wall facing Seaview Way. Omit the 6 foot high retaining wall which abuts the adjacent residence to the south. One option would be to lower the pad elevations for Lots 1 and 2 to 280 and 283, respectively. The use of the 6 foot high retaining wall creates an objectionable view to the adjacent residence. Furthermore, the maximum combined height for walls along the side property line is 6 feet. This design would preclude the location of a freestanding fence along the south property line. Please omit the “Q” designation from the plans. The ‘IQ” overlay was inadvertently applied to this area as the result of a drafting error. The 1000 and 2000 scale City Zoning Maps have recently been revised to reflect the correct zone designation as -- -- R-A-10,000. Computer records and 500 scale maps are in the process of being revised. 7. Please revise the Landscape Plan to either eliminate the trees on the rear slopes or replace them with low growing species so that views from adjacent residential properties are not impacted. 8. Please indicate if the existing fencing on adjacent properties will remain or be replaced. Engineering: None.
