Re: Carlsbad Beach Estates CT 99-01
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
Carlsbad Beach Group Investors, LLC, request the 5 lot subdivision (CT99-01) has been or
should be released from "Old Carlsbad" moratorium (NS-516) for the following reasons:
I. The tentative map was approved by the Planning Commission on March 15, 2000.
There was no condition placed on permits regarding the "Old Carlsbad Moratorium".
The project was approved because it conforms to, and enhances, the residential
neighborhood. Chinquapin Avenue is a fully developed street, including City
standard concrete curbs and sidewalks, from Garfield Avenue (800 feet +/-) east to
the railroad tracks, where it terminates. There are no future needs or plans to change
the current street improvements.
II. The City's street and sidewalk Report Committee made it's presentation to the City
Council on March 7, 2000. The Carlsbad Beach Estates Project CT 99-01 was
excluded from the Committee's review and discussion. Since this portion of
Chinquapin Avenue is fully developed with concrete curbs and sidewalks and
according to table 1 of the report, is listed as a compatible improvement, and is
consistent with current City standards or compatible in width and configuration with
improvements already installed in the block. Therefore, since the Committee did not
consider Carlsbad Beach Estates and there are no changes, (either recommended or
contemplated for this section of Chinquapin Avenue from the standard city
improvements in place), our project is, or should be exempt from the moratorium.
III. We are H. David Buckmaster and Patricia A. Buckmaster, principals of Carlsbad
Beach Group Investors, LLC with approximately 85% of our net worth comprised of
this project. We currently reside at 265 Chinquapin Avenue and we plan to make this
area our permanent home. Any delays will place an unfair hardship on our financial
well being. Commencement of this project would have no affect on the Committee's
report nor the implementing ordinances that will flow from the Committee's report, as
accepted by the Council. The approval of issuance of permits, as designed, will not
affect any determination, based upon the Committee and staff's actions.
Based on all the above, we hope that our project is exempt. If it is determined that a public
hearing is required, we request to be placed on the earliest possible City Council meeting.
Sinperefy,
Patricia A. Buckmaster
