Dear Mr. Holzmiller:
At our meeting on April 28, 1987 we agreed to consider additional setbacks beyond
those required by code and the CC&R of the Park. After reviewing the request
and looking at several alternatives, we find that we are unable to accommodate
your request. To do so would require a redesign of the project and a significant
loss in square footage.
Since, this approval process has become very time consuming and frustrating, I will
take the liberty to review what has happened.
- December 10, 1986 - Plan submitted for review.
- January 7, 1987 - We received comments back.
- February 22, 1987 - Resubmitted plans for review.
- March 12, 1987 - Meeting regarding Hillside Ordinance as it
relates to our proposal. We were told that whether or not we were
subjected to the Hillside Ordinance was unknown at that time. We
were also informed that the only other issues to be resolved were the
relocation of a dumpster and a reduction in the amount of retaining
wall. I might add that this was essentially the same plan that was
submitted on December 10, 1986.
- April 2, 1987 - At City's request we submitted a rendering of
the project as visualized from Palomar Airport Road.
- April 8, 1987 - A section of same was submitted at City's
request.
- April 28, 1987 - A meeting was held regarding the project. At
this time we were informed that we were not subject to the Hillside
Ordinance, however, an additional fifteen (15) foot setback would be
required from the top of the slope.

As stated earlier we have examined this request and do not find it feasible.
When one considers the fact that there is no ordinance, to our knowledge,
regarding the additional setback and the fact that Phase I is already set back from
eleven (11) to fifteen (15) feet and Phase I1 from twelve (12) to twenty-seven (27)
feet further than the required fifty (50) foot setback, I don't understand the
continuing delays and additional requests for this project.
We have tried several times to reach you by telephone but the calls have not been
acknowledged.
I would appreciate your attention to this matter as soon as possible so we may
procccd with this project.
Very truly yours,
