Please have the engineer/architect of work sign, date and stamp the plan with their registration number. 3. The Preliminary Title Report (PR) indicates numerous easements (which must be for all of Kelly Ranch). Please plot the applicable easement(s) with the recordation information, and, future disposition(s). 4. Staff recently reviewed this proposed project as a Preliminary Review (PRE 98-33). Many of the issues identified as part of the preliminary review were not addressed. Therefore, all outstanding preliminary review issues are now considered "completeness" items and must be adequately resolved/addressed in accordance with the following: a) As previously requested, please submit the site plan at a scale of 1" = 20' or 40' showing the proposed temporary location of the information center.

CUfFER RELOCATION TO KELLY RANCH COMPLETENESS REVIEW AND INITIAL ISSUES STATEMENT C. WESTMAN MEMO; JULY 22,1998 Engineering staff have the following minor additional comments (Engineering Issues): 1. As mentioned in a correspondence, dated June 3, 1998, from Paul Klukas to Associate Planner, Christer Westman, some type of security and removal "sunset" date would probably be required for the removal of the information center if the permanent installation were not to occur. 2. Please show how access to the site will be provided/maintained when this segment of Cannon Road is constructed. 3. Please indicate any fencing for the project. 4. If the project is approved, a haul route permit will be required to relocate the Information Center from Aviara to Kelly Ranch. 5. Please be advised, engineering staff are not commenting on the "Concept Site Plan" for the permanent location at this time. Comments for the future permanent location will be provided when a final Site Development Plan is submitted. 6. Enclosed for the applicant's review for making the requested revisions is a red-lined check print of the project. This check print must be returned with the revised plans to facilitate continued staff review. If you or the applicant have any questions, please either see or call me at extension 4388. MICHAEL J.

Howard City of Carlsbad Planning Department June 30, 1998 Paul Klukas Aviara Land Associates 2011 Palomar Airport Road #206 Carlsbad CA 92009 SUBJECT: PRE 98-33 Aviara Information Center Relocation APN: 208-020-34/35 A preliminary review of your project was conducted on June 11, 1998. Listed below are the issues raised by staff. Please note that the purpose of a preliminary review is to provide you with direction and comments on the overall concept of your project. The preliminary review does not represent an in-depth analysis of your project. Additional issues of concern may be raised after your application is submitted and processed for a more specific and detailed review. Planning: 1. Staff has a concern that this site may not be appropriate for the temporary storage of the structure. It will be some time yet before the surrounding area develops and its remote location may create an attractive nuisance. 2. Staff encourages Aviara Land Associates to pursue an extension which would allow the structure to remain in place until such time that the Kelly Ranch site can be permanent versus temporary. 3. At such time that the move is requested, a Planning Commission Determination (PCD) is the appropriate mechanism for approval. Engineering: If you should choose to go forward with the request to the Planning Commission, the following comments will apply to the application. 1. As mentioned in a correspondence, dated June 3, 1998, from Paul Klukas to Associate Planner, Christer Westman, some type of security and removal "sunset" date would probably be required for the removal of the information center if the permanent installation were not to occur. 2075 La Palmas Dr. • Carlsbad, CA 92009-1576 • (76O) 438-1161 • FAX (760) 438-O894 PRE 98-33 - AVIARA I JUNE 30, 1998 PAGE 2 NTOIMATION CENTER RELOCATION^ 2.

Shirey PRE 98-33: KELLY RANCH (AVIARA) INFORMATION CENTER PRELIMINARY REVIEW Engineering Department staff have completed a preliminary review of the above-referenced project. The concept of temporarily storing the Aviara Information Center on Area "F" of the Kelly Ranch "core area" Master Tentative Map is potentially acceptable to engineering staff. However, staff does have some comments and issues of concern, as follows: 1. As mentioned in a correspondence, dated June 3, 1998, from Paul Klukas to Associate Planner, Christer Westman, some type of security and removal "sunset" date would probably be required for the removal of the information center if the permanent installation were not to occur. 2. Please submit a better site plan (1" = 20' or 40' scale) showing the temporary and permanent locations of the information center. 3. Please show the interim grading and grading quantities on the site plan. 4. Please address any interim drainage facilities that may be required. 5. Please show any easements that may conflict with both the temporary and permanent locations of the information center. Indicate the future disposition of any easements. 6.

Will the information center, at the temporary location, be occupied or used by the owners or the public? If so, sewer, water and utilities must be available. 8. Are there any environmental issues or permits required for a temporary installation? 9. Please dimension the site plan. 10. This preliminary review does not constitute a complete review of the proposed project, additional items of concern may be identified upon formal project application submittal.

Howard PLANNING SYSTEMS LAND USE /COASTAL PLANNING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE POLICY AND PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION June 3,1998 Christer Westman CITY OF CARLSBAD ^ Planning Department • • 2075 Las Palmas Dr. Carlsbad, CA 92009 ' ,- RE: Aviara Information Center Relocation Dear Christer: Aviara Land Associates and Larry Clemens has decided to offer the following to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation: OFFER: • . • Granting of 2.6 acres of land (entire Kelly Ranch Area F development area) to the Foundation for use as a public Visitor Center. , • Providing the Foundation with ownership of the Aviara , Information Center structure, for placement onto Area F, upon approval of the necessary City permits. i BACKGROUND: The Aviara Information Center was constructed on Aviara Planning Area 23 as a "temporary" facility. If s CUP allows its use in Aviara only for a specific period of time. The approximately $1 million building was constructed in a format that allows its ultimate disconnection into sections to accommodate transport for installation elsewhere. The Information Center's present location, PA 23, has been-sold to The Brehm Companies. The sales agreement stipulates that Aviara Land Associates must remove the structure completely from PA 23 by 12/31/98. The proposed receptor site, Kelly Ranch Area F, is located with the Mello II segment of the Carlsbad LCP. It is a proposed lot within the "Core Area" subdivision of Kelly Ranch, which is presently in the EIR process and will 2111 PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD • SUITE 100 • CARLSBAD, CA 92009 • (760X931-0780 • FAX (760) 931-5744 Christer Westman June 3,.1998 Page 2 likely be scheduled for public hearing in January or February, 1999. The "Core Area" submittal designates the site for neighborhood commercial uses, but Aviara Land Associates will request a modification of. this proposed use to open space, public facility or some such use to accommodate the visitor center. . v Pursuant to the arrangement with the Agua Hedionda Foundation, Aviara will process the permits necessary to transport the structure to Area F, and subsequently the necessary permits for final placement of the structure (SDP, CP, etc.) on the site as a visitor center. At this time the building relocation is the primary need. PROPOSED PROJECT: . Aviara's goal is to process the permits necessary in order to temporarily place the structure on Area F, and if necessary, keep it up on blocks or jacks (no hook-ups). In order to create a level area, it would be necessary to do a small amount of leveling of the site (under 1000 cu. yds.) A foundation .slab would presumably not be poured until SDP approval was granted. As shown on the attached preliminary site plan, the structure would be temporarily stored in the future parking lot location, so that it would not interfere with eventual slab construction.1 In the event that a future SDP is not forthcoming for some reason, Aviara would agree to provide some form of security for removal of the structure from the site. Building relocation permits typically involve a the processing of a Planning Commission Determination (PCD). As a result, it has been my conclusion that this is the proper process for this temporary relocation. We have here, however a somewhat unusual circumstance. Please discuss this matter in a preliminary review and provide me with Staff conclusion as to whether this relocation can be accomplished within the necessary time frame, and what permitting process to use. 11 J.
