HomeMy WebLinkAboutRP 86-14; Bizieff; Redevelopment Permits (RP) (2)MEMO March 30, 1987 TO: DEE LANDERS FROM: Marty Bouman I have no problems with the conclusions of the traffic study. I do wish the consultants had given a little attention to pedestrians at Carlsbad Boulevard and Oak Avenue. I understand from Bob Johnson that we are under some pressure to "do something" about pedestrian crossing the boulevard there, mostly going to and from the beach. Although, "... the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and Oak Avenue would be borderline for signalization, if Lincoln Street were to be closed," it is my opinion that a traffic signal there would do more harm than good in promoting pedestrian safety. The Boulevard there is a wide street with curves and poor sight distance. It is a beach area where drivers are fast, arrogant, flamboyant, and particularly subsceptible to distraction. At present, pedestrians know that their safety is in their own hands. With a traffic signal, they tend to put their faith and trust in the red light requiring traffic to stop. When traffic doesn't stop, it's usually fatal, and it happens all the t ime. I recommend a pedestrian overcrossing. Yes, it would be expensive. Yes, it would be ugly. But it's the only positive means of separating pedestrians who really want safety from motor vehicles. A pedestrian undercrossing (tunnel) is not a good solution. One problem is solved, but several even worse are created. In my opinion, a fair trade-off for the street closure would be for the developer to pay for a substantial part of the cost of the pedestrian overcrossing as well as the full median in Carlsbad Boulevard, from Elm to Oak.

I have just learned, and believe you should also be made aware, that the sale of one of the Monterey units fell through because of fears of the prospective purchaser that the City of Garlsbad might approve these plans, and his be- lief that this would devaluate the Monterey property. The facts are: Mr. Arraen Norhadian, owner of units #12 and #13» had sold both units to a Mr. Eugene Poore. Escrow on #12 closed around December 12, 1986, and #13 was due to close shortly thereafter; however, Mr. Poore became aware that Carlsbad was contemplating approval of the plans which would turn Lincoln St. into a parking lot directly in front of the Monterey complex. He therefore withdrew from the pur- chase of unit #13f stating that if allowed to go through, this plan would devaluate the Monterey property and that he v/as no longer interested in purchasing the second unit. For confirmation of above stated facts, please feel free to contact either, or both, of the above owners whose phone numbers are given below: Mr. xArmen Norhadian - Bus: (213) 370-0162 Mr. Eugene D.

Having heard about the proposed plans for the site now occupied by the Katmandu, we are very strongly in disagreement for many reasons some of which are: Decrease in visibility of the front yard of the Monterey complex making it much more at risk for criminal activity. Removal of seven parking spaces on Lincoln from general use on a first come, first served basis giving them over for exclusive use of the proposed building.

We have just received word that there is a company trying to build some condos on Carlsbad Blvd., in front of the Monterey Condos. On September 1, 1986 I went to Carlsbad City to find out if any new buildings were being planned near our condos. I was told that there was none!! How can the city turn our front street into an alley with trash bins? Now looking at the Monterey Condos, the lawns and the trees, I feel it is very attractive to the eye. Plus any new buildings in front more than one story high would hurt our view and the breeze from the ocean, which we do need in the sunraier time. As a homeowner in Carlsbad I disaprove of this building. Thank you, Eugene Poore January 3,1987 Adrienne Landers Asst.

There seems to be great discrepancy as to the intent and purpose of the plans expressed by the owners. Max and Ann Inciyan and the informations we have noted on the plans our Association has received from the City. It would not be to the best interest of The Monterey owners to allow this building to be erected as the plans show.

CA 92026 December 29, 1986 Ms. Adrienne Landers, Assistant Planner 2075 Las Palmas Drive Carlsbad, CA 92009 Re: Site Plan for 3076 Carlsbad Blvd. Dear Ms. Landers: I was just informed of the proposed plans for this triangular piece of property. As a relatively new property owner at 3080 Lincoln Avenue I was dismayed, to say the least, when advised of these plans. I am listing some of the items that come to mind. 1. As I understand it, that portion of Lincoln would be shut off to through traffic. This would create considerable traffic problems in the immediate area with all South to North traffic being diverted, including emergency traffic. 2. The portion of Lincoln behind the proposed building would become nothing more than an alley with trash bins, visable car ports, etc. 3. This, in turn, would ruin our property values. ^ km Our complex of about 25 units would lose most of our guest parking area, which we need, especially in the summer period. 5. The proposed perpendicular parking, backing up to the open carport area, would not leave enough room for cars or trucks to maneuver. 6. The ocean breezes we now enjoy would be lost for the most part with the three story proposed building. 7. The overall aesthetic appearance of our complex and the surrounding area would be greatly affected. Along this line, my idea of what would really enhance the area along Carlsbad Blvd., would be for the City of Carlsbad to purchase this triangular piece of property, and build a beautiful fountain or some other beautification project to enchance the immediate area. I trust that after reviewing the plans subfjjitted that this project will be denied and that the present atmosphere vi\]ype continued or improved y" J ' ' Jack W.

Att: Ms. Adrienne Landers, Asst. Planner Dear Andrienne: It has come to my attention that the City of Carlsbad is about to approve the erection of a 5,000 square ft. three story building in front of the Monterey complex. The city proposes to remove the street in front and to grant parking priviloges to the current owner of the complex known as the Kotmandou. This individual purchased what in my minds was a piece of property with a building on it and to change the value of the property by decreasing the value of my property is very unfair. You would interfere with the entrance to our complex and deplete the current available parking. We also would no longer be able to enjoy what limited ocean breezes are available and the view would be of a parking lot and and the rear of a three story building. I have been a property owner in Carlsbad for quite a few years and my mother-in-law lived in the complex for ten years before that. I would think you would have an open City Council meeting before entertaining such a major move. If the City of Carlsbad approves such a radical change to our property I will certainly entertain a lawsuit against the city to compensate me for the decrease in value of my property. I might add that there are twenty nine other property owners that feel as I do. Very/'truly yours, v •/4i-y ^ y/z/.^y Edwin A. Trent December 17, 1986 December 26, 1986 Ms. Adrienne Landers 2075 Las Palmas Drive Garlsbad, Calif. 92008 Dear Ms. Landers: Pursuant to our recent telephone conversation I hereby wish to strongly reiterate my opposition to the proposed building change by the Katman Du Trading Go. in the 3000 block of Garlsbad Blvd. I am the ov/ner of Unit #1 of the Monterey Condominium complex at 3O8O Lincoln Ave. My feeUng is that erecting a 3 story- building v/ill not only increase the noise factor because of con- tinual slamming of car doors but v;ill also add to the fumes factor emanating from the exhausts of the cars and lingering due to the blockage by the proposed building. Also, noise, smell and flies emanating from a proposed garbage bin V/ill be highly objectionable. I hope the Gity will consider the interest 01 the thirty ovmers- and- or tenants of the Monterey.

Up u.ntil now we have felt the plan- ning board has acted responsibly and in consideration of all property owners. But if this plan is approved it will show favoritism towards a developer and no consideration for exist- ing property ov/ners on Lincoln. The proposal to desiginate reserved parking spaces for their complex on our side of the street is preposterous and possibly illegal. vve, the owners of the condominium, known as"The Monterey", have spent considerable time and money to enhance the beauty and value of our property. To approve a plan that would so favor a developer at the expense of other property owners in the area is totally irresponsible. I strongly urge you to rec- commend disapproval of this plan.

Presently our parking is just adeguate, since only one parking space is allotted per unit c.t the Monterey, and most tenants have two automobiles. Closing Lincoln St. and reserving most of the parking for the Katmandu pro- perty would cause a major problem. In addition, we are concerned about the 3-story height of the building. It would completely block the ocean breeze we need in summer. The placement of trash bins is also most unfortunate. We are not against change, but reguest the City recon- sider this complex, as it would ruin a complex that is very attractive and well cared for. Thank you for your consideration.
