SUBJECT: FREE-STANDING SIGN FOR THE SALTAIRE PROJECT ALONG HIDDEN
VALLEY ROAD SOUTH OF PALOMAR AIRPORT ROAD IN ZONE 20
(LADWIG DESIGN GROUP, INC. - J/N L-1033)
Dear Mike:
I have been asked by Monarch Communities of CA to direct this letter to you asking that we be
allowed to retain the present sign that is on the Monarch Communities of CA property (CT 95-05).
We feel it is allowed by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 21.41.070 Paragraph D found on Page 674
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code.
The following is a list of items we feel demonstrates that we are in conformance with the Carlsbad
Municipal Code for the placement of the Saltaire sign. The reasons are as follows:
1. The existing sign meets the size and design requirements of the code.
2. The sign is within the limits of the subdivision as required.
3. The sign is close to Hidden Valley Road which is a major approach, as defined in the
Municipal Code.
4. There is more than 100 feet from any dwelling as required.
5. The sign has not been placed on the highest most visible portion of the project facing
Palomar Airport Road, but is placed on a lower level to provide some background.
6. No permit is required for the sign.

Hidden Valley Road is clearly our point of major approach to the subdivision. The sign as currently
placed faces towards Hidden Valley Road near the north end of our development and is clearly closer
to Hidden Valley Road than it is to Palomar Airport Road.
Based on the above, we hereby request that you find that our sign is in conformance with the
Carlsbad Municipal Code.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
Ladwig Design Group, Inc.
