Engineering Comments, dated October 17, 2005, prepared by tlie City of Carlsbad. 2. Redlines of Preliminary Grading Plan, dated 7-8-05, prepared by Engineering Design Group. We have prepared this letter to address preliminary comments from the City of Carlsbad Engineering Department regarding the above referenced site plan. 1. As requested additional spot elevations, quantities and slope grades have been added to the plan. Construction BMP and erosion control devices have been removed from the plan. 2. A recent title report will be submitted. 3. As noted on the original preliminary grading plan, the 22 ft. width dimensioned the existing paved road, and the 40 ft. dimensioned to centeriine of right-of-way. The revised pian shows the 80 feet of right-of- way on both Roosevelt and Pine, in addition to the 20 feet of right-of-way at the alley. 4. The comment notes State Street on the north side ofthe project. This project is bounded to the north by the adjacent residential development, APN 204-084-10, and there is no State Street within the direct vicinity of the project. a. With regard to the alley behind the project (approximate east side of the project) the alley is depicted on the original plan and dimensioned on this revised plan. b. New improvements include removal of existing driveway along Pine Avenue, new concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, as depicted herein and on the original plan. In addition a new concrete entrance to the proposed parking area off the alley is proposed in lieu ofthe original paver block entrance. 5. Additional information has been provided with regard to the adjacent apartment complex, including flow patterns, extent of concrete parking and concrete walkways. 6. See the revised grass swale configuration. Note additional grass swales have been provided along the north, south property line and portions of the east property line adjacent to the alley. We have outlined pre and post development impervious surfaces, grass swale surface area on the project plan. Gutter downspouts have also been depicted to demonstrate rooftop runoff will flow into tlie proposed grass swales for filtration. Runoff will flow from rooftops, parking areas to grass swales for filtration and to existing improvements at Pine Avenue and Roosevelt Street. a. The following site design BMP's have been utilized to reduce impervious surfaces include: i. Increased density with two story, mixed use design. ii. The proposed covered parking minimizes the exposure of parking lot associated pollutants to precipitation, and greatly reduces these pollutants washing into City storm drains. iii. Proposed landscaping to include trees for canopy interception, as well as groundcover / grass for biofiltration. b. It should be noted there is no change to pre and post development impervious surfaces. 7. See the new note regarding the 3 lot consolidation on the right side of the page. 8. See the addition of the ADT - (SanDag 2004 Figures), EDU (Dudek & Assoc. City of Carlsbad Master Sewer Plan Update 2003), GPD (WSFU count v. demand. Appendix A Chart A-3, UPC 1-2003 ), Fire Sprinkler (to be confirmed by fire sprinkler consultant at design phase), Cut and Fill Quantities, as requested. 9. See the revised plan for parking dimensions. 10. See the nearest existing fire hydrant on the southeast corner of Roosevelt Street and Pine Avenue. A separate water line and DDC valve have also been depicted along Roosevelt Street for the anticipated additional water services. Sincerely, ENGINEEf^NG DESIGN GROUP Erin E.

In addition to the items listed in my previous letter. Engineering Department's comments on your proposed project are as follows: Engineering: The Engineering Department has completed a review of the above subject. We have reviewed the application for completeness and have determined that the application and plans submitted for the project are incomplete and unsuitable for continued review due to the following incomplete items: 1. Please submit a preliminary grading/drainage plan (This information may be included as part of your site plan). Provide grading quantities, spot elevations and slope grades. I have red lined the site plan with comments to help clarify what we need to review this application. The siti fence can be removed at this stage. 2. Submit a Preliminary Title Report current within the last six months. 3. Show cross section of public streets and alleys. This applies to 3 sides of the project. Include full width in the cross section and dimensions. I attached a copy of assessors page that shows Roosevelt Street to be 80 feet wide. A 22' half street seems wrong. Pine Ave. is also 80' wide (you show 19' half street). 4. Show names, widths and improvements for State Street, Street identified along the north side of the project, and the (Public?) alley behind the project. Include existing and proposed improvement (new driveways, planters, curb & gutter) information. 5. On the preliminary grading plan, provide additional spot elevations or topography at least 25-feet outside the property line. This information should cleariy demonstrate existing drainage patterns. The existing Apartment Complex north of this site should show the buildings, retaining walls, walkways, parking bays and any features that could have an impact on the proposed development. 6. This project qualifies as a "priority" project pursuant to new regulations issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Please clarify how this project minimizes impervious area and maximizes infiltration to the maximum extend practical for storm run-off. One suggestion may be for the water discharged from the parking lot to flow 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste. B • Carlsbad, CA 92008-2389 • (760) 434-2810/2811 • FAX (760) 720-2037 ^ over a grass or landscaped swale along the side of the structure to allow for some infiltration before being discharged to City right-of-way. Please increase the length and locations of the vegetated swale as shown on the site plan. There is a confusing symbol (concrete) in the location of the proposed vegetated swale, please clarify. 7. The legal description for this project should include a bold note that the existing 3 lots will be consolidated by Lot Line Adjustment. 8. Revise the site plan to list the correct ADT (traffic), EDU (sewer), and GPD/MGD (water) GPM (Fire) and grading quantities - cut, fill, import or export, required or generated by this project. 9. Proposed parking dimensions should be provided on all spaces. 10. Identify the location of the nearest fire hydrant. Also, if fire sprinklers are required, add a separate water line and double detector check valve for the sprinkler system. Locate the DDC Valve on private property but in a location accessible to the Fire Department. A redlined check print is enclosed for the applicants use in making the requested revisions. This check print must be returned with the plan revisions to facilitate continued staff review. To discuss all Engineering Department related concerns, please contact Clyde Wickham at (760) 602-2742.
