September 12, 1989 Chris Salomone Director of Housing and Redevelopment City of Carlsbad 2965 Roosevelt Street, Suite B Carlsbad, CA 92008 RE: Resurrection of Dancing Activities at Neiman Dear Chris: As you know, for many, many years, the Twin Inns facility has been the center for dining and social activity in downtown Carlsbad. Hundreds of people have been married in the gazebo or the main rotunda room. Over the years various organizations have had banquets, meetings, award ceremonies and more specifically, dancing. For mariy years weekly dances were held at the Twin Inns, dancing to such great bands as the Carl Hoffman band, the Phil Jackm.an band and others, which brought downtown Carlsbad alive in the evenings. Several conversations with you and members of the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory Committee have brought forth the desire on most everyone's part that a missing piece of activity in downtown Carlsbad, in specifically the redevelopment area, is the lack of quality nighttime entertainment other than dining. Plans which you are initiating for such things as the renovation of the theatre, additional parking, the art works in conjunction with the streetscaping, the new Plaza which is located in the Village Faire, all are aimed at increasing the activity level and idsntifyiTig downtown Carlsbad as a place to go with your femiJy and friends to enjoy the Village atmosphere. To that end, I would lika to get your opinion, those of your staff and perhaps an independent poll of the members of the Design Review Board, to the possibility of taking the downstairs area of the Twin Inns building and turning it into a dance facility which could also be used for other collateral activities. It is envisioned, at least inirially, that this cabaret area would not be open and in operation when the main dining room of Neimans was open. The thought would be on nights when we felt dancing was a viable activity, the dining room at Neimans would be closed at say 9:00 and then dancing would begin downstairs in the cabaret at 9:30 or perhaps 10:00. This would not adversely impact any parking, in that one facility would be closed down and that we would just be substituting for a section which we have closed down. 2978 Carlsbad Boulevard • Carlsbad, California 92008-2999 • (619) 729-4131 Chris Salomone Director of Housing and Redevelopment City of Carlsbad Page 2 - September 12, 1989 The feeling would be that there would be a mix of live entertainment and perhaps disc jockey entertainment. We would anticipate alcohol service, perhaps some snacks, but as I previously mentioned, the main dining room would be closed when the cabaret was open. As relates to ABC requirements, our liquor license would cover such an activity without any modification of our current liquor license as the downstairs of the entire property is licensed for alcoholic beverage service. In closing I would like to say that the Twin Inns, with its heritage of being a gathering place for dining and dancing, has been an institution in San Diego County and more specifically in downtown Carlsbad for many, many years. There is a need in downtown Carlsbad for activities in the evening and I feel that the resurrection of dancing at the Twin Inns could be a very large step towards getting other activities to follow. The benefit for not only the downtown merchants, but also the entire city of Carlsbad, to have a place to come and gather, dance and enjoy themselves, would be a great addition to the redevelopment area. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing the details we would need to carry this idea forward. Best regards. S. w. Densham President SWD:jb 2978 CARLSBAD BLVD. CARLSBAD.

The progress haa been nothing less than impressive. The street scape work in the core area has given a most inviting look to our city. This must be allowed to continue with a "top priority" designation. Currently, suggestions for the application of Federal Block Grant funds are being taken by the City 's Redevelopment Agency. 1 would propose these funds be used for the design of additional street scape concepts for Carlsbad Boulevard and it's keystone corners of Grand Avenue and Elm Avenue. These pians would reflect such eiementa as pavers, planters, median islands, decorative light posta, etc. The funda to complete the work could come from the iaauance of Redevelopment Bonds. These bonds could alao be used to fund the final phase of the Twin Inn's Project, which is vital to the downtown village redevelopment area. The use of these funds is consistent with sound fiscal and redevelopment policy. I thank you for your enthusiastic and unanimous support that you have given to redeveiopment of our "Village" area. The continuation of thia aupport will inaure a quality of life for Carlsbad that ia both idyllic and unique in Southern California, Sincerely, S.W. Densham DHW Ltd. Kanaqinc!

This project is a 161 unit hotel, restaurant and retail complex in the heart of our Redevelopment Area, one block from the beach. It represents a major improvement to an older area of Carlsbad that is being revitalized, I feel that the conditions suggested in the Coastal staff report are unnecessarily restrictive and could result in the demise of this valued project. This application was intensively reviewed by the City Council and unanimously approved 18 months ago. We feel we v/ere able to mitigate the very issues your staff raises, namely building height and parking. Local support for this project is widespread. The project would provide needed facilities for coastal visitors and tourists. We believe it effectively achieves one of the major goals of the Coastal Commission. In addition the project will preserve and enhance the historic Twin Inns which has been a landmark on the coast highway for 50 years. Thank you for your consideration.

Railroad and Carlsbad Blvd and Elm Avenue and Grand Avenue. These limits encompass the Twin Inns Resort project. Attending the meeting were Mr. Walter Brown, Carlsbad engineering department, Mr. Chris Salomone, Carlsbad RDA Director, Mr. Bill Booth of John P. Landry Architects, Mr. Gordon Colombo representative of the owner of the Twin Inns resort, and Mr. John Starner of C G Engineering. Because the City has deleted a proposed storm drain along the south side of Elm Avenue from the city's Central Business District Storm Drain (C.B.S.D.) project we re-analyzed alternates for storm runoff for the described area. The alternate solution that was presented in our meeting is the extension of a storm drain lateral from the C.B.S.D. in Grand Avenue to Washington Street. At the request of our client a feasibility study was made with the results shown on the attached exhibit. The recommended solution is to construct a 21" RCP and inlet structures in Grand Avenue at the location shown. The final design may require potholing a few utility crossings to insure proper clearances. Also we have attached copies of our work sheets developed during this study. A few specific points considered in the study are as follows: * A telephone contact was made with Mr. Al Correa of the A.T.&.S.F. Railroad (Phone Number (213) 267-5219) who indicated that processing time to obtain a license to cross the railroad is between 6 and 8 weeks. C G has the application forms and information required by the railroad. 2627 S. WATERMAN AVE., SUITE E • SAN BERNARDINO. CALIFORNIA 92408 • (714) 824-2420 * This alternative has the specific advantages to the City of the following: 1) Reduces the volume of runoff to the existing 12" culvert crossing Aim Avenue and would allow that the existing 12" culvert to remain in operation at design capacity Q-IO = 4 cfs. 2) Reduces the volume of flow into the parallel ditch along the railroad southerly of Elm Avenue to Oak Avenue. 3) The installation of the proposed lateral will intercept runof at Grand and Washington, thereby reduce the volume of runoff tt be conveyed in Washington Street between Grand Avenue and Eli Avenue. * A benefit will also be provided for the Twin Inns resort project tc provide the onsite runoff with an improved facility to drain to. An estiraated cost based upon the preliminary design drawing is as follows: 1. 21" RCP (Assume 1250D) - 175 L.F. $10,500 2. 21 Jacked Pipe - 65 L.F. 18,345 3. 18" RCP (Assume 1250D) - 70 L.F. 3,850 4. Catch Basins - 2Ea. (Assume 8') 5,500 5. Drop Inlet - 2 Ea. (Assume 4') 4,500 6. Connect to 48" RCP 800 Sub-Total $43,500 Cont. 10% 4f350 TOTAL $47,850 On behalf of our client, the developers of the Twin Inns Resort project, we request the city proceed with design and construction of the proposed storm drain improvements as shown on the exhibit.

A consideration was being given to install an 18" culvert parallel to the existing 12" culvert which would have provided for the required runoff capacity of Q-10 from this area. This could physically be accomplished and would have been an appropriate solution providing the Central Business Storm Drain (C.B.S.D. )^proceeded with the installation of the lateral along the south side of Elm Avenue from the east side of the railroad parallel to Elm Avenue to a point opposite where the existing 12" culvert outlets as originally planned. To propose retaining the existing drainage pattern is not^ viable . ^ alternative due to the physical constraints of flat grades s^^erl^^n^'''^^' parallel with the railroad south of Elm Avenue to a 36" culvert beneath the railroad opposite Oak Avenue. Therefore we analyzed an alternative of extension of a storm drain lateral from the C.B.S.D. in Grand Avenue to Washington Street. This would have the effect of reducing the volume of runoff to arrive at the 12" culvert beneath Elm Avenue.

The interior revisions proposed will "open up" what is now a maze of choppy and constricted spaces. By moving the restrooms to a more remote location, the lobby will become larger and thus, present a grander welcoming space for both the restaurant and hotel guests. The exterior additions that are proposed will add an elegant new sparkle to the outside of the building. The purpose of the new dining patio will not only provide additional dining space so that more people can experience the building, but will improve the connection between the interior space and the exterior of the building which is now rather cold and imposing. This "bridge" will quite literally add life to that area of the building. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Will^m M.

Premises t To be leased for the purpose of 7 Lessee making improvements thereon to provide for public parking.

The minimum monthly rent shall be the subject to an annual cost of living adjustment. At the execution of the Lease there shall be no security deposit or last months rent required. Cost of living: At the beginning of the second year and each year thereafter the minimum monthly rent shall be adjusted to include the increase if any, determined by a cost of living adjustment determined by comparing the Price Index (Revised Consiimmer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners & Clerical Workers, San Diego Met.

Lease shall contain specific provisions regard-ing Destruction of Premises, hold over. Default Signs, Eminent domain. General Covenants & Noxices. If the City of Carlsbad decided to execute a lease, I would expect that the $900.00 month- ly, lease rent from Dodds, would be paid by the City at such time as they release their interest to this major leaae. HOWEVER, as you said it was probably not until Jan 1, 1985 that the City would want to be certain of the balance of the property, I would not expect any rent on that remaining portion, until such agreed time arrived. As I wrote previously, the term of the lease would be for ten years. There is a possibility, that at some time, a museum may be built on Christiansen Way, by the Historical Society^ and some consideration for partial parking use of the demised land, would be desirable. Since this is probably many years away, I should nevertheless, like to know some provision has been considered. I enclose a plat of the block and the declared property. The easement from Washington is of record & I will be glad to endeavor to get an extension "ftiat would provide full circulation of both lots. Thank you again for the interest. Sincerely, End.

Bob Burke 640 Grand Avenue Carlsbad, CA. 92008 Dear Mr. Burke: Per our recent conversation regarding the Twin Inns Resort project, you wished me to address condition number 17 which reads as follows: The developer shall provide 41 additional parking spaces off site but in reasonable proximity to the project. The City will use its best efforts to obtain a lease for such parking. Developer shall sublease the parking spaces from City and assume all of City's obligations under the lease. Prior to issuance of a builidng permit the applicant shall provide a site plan acceptable to the City showing how the proposed parking located off site can be provided on site. The developer shall agree to provide the additional parking spaces if the lease cannot be obtained or if the lease at that site expires or is terminated for any reason. The additional parking spaces shall be leased or other- wise provided prior to issuance of building permits. We have already begun negotiations to lease property across from the Twin Inns Resort site. It is our intention to proceed to obtain an appropriate sized parcel for the additional parking required. We will then sub-let the parcel to you for the necessary spaces. At this time, we are confident that such an arrangement is eminent. We will keep you informed of our progress as we continue.

At the meeting four of the five Design Review Board members were present. Two members disqualified themselves from the review process on this project. This resulted in a lack of a quorum for this item. The public hearing for the Twin Inns was reset for February 27, 1984. Meanwhile, intensive negotiations were being held with the applicant and City staff to resolve the problems with the project. By the second meeting a revised site plan was presented and deemed acceptable to staff with the conditions contained in Resolution No. 036 (exhibit 3). Significant changes from the original plan included the creation of an off-site leased parking lot, no utilization of Rotary Park and a new circulation plan. Total number parking spaces proposed were 28 8 out of the 309 that code requires. The Design Review Board voted to forward the project to the Housing and Redevelopment Commission recommending approval. The vote was two in favor, one opposed. The member voting in opposition cited architectural concerns as the reason for the negative vote.

Mr. I*!av"ty Orenyak Mr.- Chris Salomone WMB/sk February 22, 1984 BOARD Mr. Charles Grimm, Principal Planner City of Carlsbad Planning Department 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Dear Mr. Grimm: North County Transit District (NCTD) staff has reviewed the site plans and Staff Report on the Twin Inns project (RP 84-1). We have number of concerns with the project, and recommend denial of the Redevelopment Permit for the project as currently proposed. Among our concerns are the following: 1. 2. Presently, NCTD uses approximately 200 feet on the south side of Grand Avenue, west of W Street, as a passenger transfer point. The transfer point is to provide timed-transfers ferent routes serving Carlsbad, so that pass is minimized. Currently, there are approxim passenger boardings and alightings at this 1 Because up to five buses must use the space to provide timed-transfers, the 200 feet of necessary. of curb space ashington purpose of the between dif- enger waiti ng ately 800 ocation daily, simultaneously curb is The Twin Inns project, as proposed, would remove some sidewalk area, and create parallel parking for autos where our buses currently park. This would necessitate relo- cating the transfer point. The cost of relocation could be high, and would be at public expense. The transfer point must be located near the Highway 101 and A.T.S.F. railroad corridors due to current and future route alignments. A location farther away would require more time to access, and could require the addition of equipment and driver resources. It costs NCTD approximately $170,000 a year to add the service of one bus. 3. When our buses leave the transfer point, they continue east on Grand, then turn right onto Washington Street. They turn right again at Elm, and continue their routes. •82o: - 2 - The project would close Washington Street completely, to through traffic (both bus and auto), and would create a private driveway and parking area for the Hotel. Buses would have to be re-routed to State Street to make a turn- around. In addition to the added time this would take, there would be an increased potential for accidents due to diagonal parking on State Street. 4. The project, as proposed, could severely hinder or elimi- nate future light-rail transit service at this location. San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has iden- tified the A.T.S.F. railroad corridor as part of the future regional light-rail transit system. In planning studies conducted by SANDAG, Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB), and NCTD staffs, a downtown location in the vici- nity of Grand and Washington has been identified as a light rail station site. This site was chosen because of its current proximity to the rail line, existing nearby bus transfer point to provide feeder service, and close proxi- mity to downtown Carlsbad. The Twin Inns project would use much of the existing nearby undeveloped land (Rotary Park, Washington Street) for a private driveway and parking area. The potential for a bus and rail loading platform on Washington Street would be eliminated, forcing use of less desireable, more costly station options. For these reasons, NCTD opposes the Twin Inns project as currently proposed. However, our staff is willing to work with the City and the developer to modify the project in a manner beneficial to all. Through a similar process, the re-developed Cardiff Towne Center was modified to provide a transfer terminal for NCTD, as well as benefits for the developer. We feel a similar modification is possible here that will serve Carlsbad's short-term and long-term transportation needs. Please let us know if any of this information requires clarification. We look forward to working with you on the project. Sincerely, Paul W. Price Manager of Planning & Marketing cc: Richard L.

Wetmore 7682 El Camino Real, Suite 206 Carisbad, Califomia 92008 619/942-0380 January 16, 1984 Mr. Chris Salomone City of Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 Re: Twin Inn Site Carlsbad, California Dear Mr. Salomone: Pursuant to our meetings of December 13th and January llth, we are pleased to submit to you this proposal for economic/real estate consulting services in connection with the proposed development of subject site. Briefly, for our files, it is our understanding that this key site consists of approximately 4 acres and has been owned for a long time by the Kettner family. Further, we understand that now a local development group with little or no previous development experience could acquire the property for $3.0 million, under the conditions imposed by the Kettner family that the site have some sort of continued hotel use. The developers plan a two-phased project, namely Phase I: 180 hotel rooms, 5,500 square feet of retail, plus appropriate parking, and Phase II: 80 hotel rooms plus appropriate parking. Finally, we understand that the Local Coastal Plan is approved and limits the development of this site to hotel and retail commercial use and that, undoubtedly, the Coastal Commission would support the present development concept. Based on our conversations, we understand that the Redevelopment Agency/City have several concerns with respect to the proposed project. The key concerns are the following: Real Estate &DevelopmentConsulting Mr. Chris Salomone City of Carlsbad Page 2 January 16, 1984 1. Is the proposed project feasible from a market and financial viewpoint? Specifically, can the proposed development support a land price of $3.0 million plus parking costs, in view of the likely seasonal occupancy and the fact that the site is too small to accoirunodate a destination resort and, specifically, would not have such major amenities as golf and tennis typically found in destination resorts. 2. Is the proposed project in fact the highest and best use of the site or would a combination of office and retail commercial be a better use? 3. How does the existing 35 feet height limit affect the feasibility of a successful development along the lines as is presently proposed or, alternatively, of an office/retail commercial project. In order to answer these questions, we are proposing to undertake the following. 1. A market and financial feasibility analysis of the project as it is now proposed. These analyses would include but would not necessarily be limited to the following: A. A review of past and projected future demand for hotel rooms at this location, the type of demand (i.e. commercial travelers, vacationers, etc.), and the seasonality of the demand (i.e. peak season, shoulder seasons, and off season). B. Related to A. above, an evaluation of the size of the hotel, i.e. it may be too small to accommodate the typical features of a first class facility (such as major dinner restaurant and coffee shop), yet may be too large, adDsent such features, relative to market demand. C. A review of competing transient accommodations in the North County area which would aim to identify seasonal occupancy levels, prevail- ing room rates, and room rate trends. Based on the above, we would arrive at conclusions with respect to the likelihood that the proposed project would be financable and, therefore, likely to be built as well as the likelihood of it being a successful long-term operation. 2. A market and financial feasibility analysis of an office/retail-commercial development at subject site. These analyses would include but would not necessarily be limited to the following: KeyserMarstonAssociatesInc. Mr. Chris Salomone City of Carlsbad Page 3 January 16, 1984 A. The demand for office space in the Coastal North County area and at this specific location generated by population growth and thereto related increase in demand for professional and other services which require office space, as well as demand for office space unrelated to population growth, but related to other factors i.e. spill over from Orange County. B. The demand at this location for retail space and specifically the type and amount of retail use which could be supported from a financial viewpoint given the small size of the site and the heavy, free, parking typically required by retail use. C. A review of Coastal North County competition for office and retail uses as well as an identification of prevailing rent levels paid by these uses and thereto associated operating expenses. D. A financial pro forma of an office/retail project against a reason- able mix between these two uses. Based on the above, conclusions as to the suitability of the site for these alternative uses and whether in fact it might be advisable for the City to aim for this alternative as opposed to the proposed use. In addition to identifying the market and financial feasibility of the two types of projects our analysis would also provide you with preliminary conclusions with respect to the advantages and disadvantages of each of these projects to the City/ Redevelopment Agency in terms of tax increment generated, occupancy and other taxes, as well as the amount and type of employment which would likely result from each of these two project types. Timing and Fee We understand that you would require from us a confidential memorandum and we are prepared to commence work inmiediately upon receipt of your authorization to proceed. We propose to submit to you our findings and conclusions in a meeting after about 60 days after the date of authorization to proceed and to have a written memorandum 75 days from such date of authorization to proceed.

One of the problems is that access to the structure is primarily from the interior courtyard area, where we are unable to locate our fire apparatus. We can accept the site plan as drawn if the buildings are protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system. Since the main consideration in this case is access, the sprinkler system design for residential buildings can be of a residential-type design.
