RE: ROAD CONSTRUCTION SPOIL SITE
Dear Lloyd: " ~
SDG&E's preference is to make application for the
required land development permits that would allow for the
permanent placement of the concrete riprap and soil on our
property. It is our belief that obtaining a grading permit
from the City and a coastal development permit from the State
Coastal Commission will be necessary to do this.
While it is our preference to do this, our opinion is
that it will be impossible to avoid public interest because
of the coastal development permit public hearing process.
This being of certain potential creates the problem that the
City and SDG&E desire to avoid. Therefore, it is our
recommendation that the safest course of action is to have
the fill material removed from the site. It is our intention
to request the City's contractor to perform the removal work
given that they dumped the material without obtaining the
necessary permits per our direction and City regulations.
The willingness of the contractor to do this is unknown
at this time. In the event the contractor is not willing to
comply with our request, we would appreciate the City's
intervention in getting the removal of the material
accomplished.

Dear Lloyd:
At our meeting on May 4, we discussed various conditions
proposed by the City associated with SDG&E's application for a
specific plan amendment to modify our wastewater treatment system
at the power plant. The City and SDG&E agreed at the meeting
that standard engineering conditions No's 17 and 22 should be
deleted. We also explained that SDG&E believes that all of the
custom conditions are inappropriate conditions of approval
because they have no relationship to the project or impacts
created by the project and therefore can not be conditions
attached to the approval of the amendment.
However, we recognize your concern about providing for
necessary future public improvements adjoining our property. In
the spirit of cooperation, we are willing to work with you toward
pursuit of your objectives by doing the following:
1. SDG&E agrees to consider granting the City additional
street dedications along Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon
Road in the event the City approves specific public
works projects for the affected area; SDG&E determines
the requested dedications are not detrimental to its
operations; and SDG&E receives benefits from the City
equal in value to the property dedicated.
2. SDG&E agrees to cooperate with City initiated and
approved underground projects pursuant to electric rule
20a conversions.
We want you to know that as concerned citizens in Carlsbad,
we are anxious to cooperate with you and other City represen-
tatives regarding your future proposals. We are hopeful that you
Mr. Lloyd Hubbs -2-May 11, 1989
will consider the above commitments as representative of our
desire to work with you towards meeting your public improvement
goals.
Sincerely,

RE: AMENDMENT TO SPECIFIC PLAN 144/ENCINA POWER PLANT
Dear Mr. Siino:
At the Planning Commission meeting of July 19, 1989, the
Commission approved your request for a minor amendment to Specific
Plan No. 144 to install six wastewater tanks. As was discussed at
the meeting, this is to inform you that any future request for
improvement to the Encina Fewer Plant will require a complete major
anendment to the Specific Plan processed in accordance with Chapter
21.36 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. At that 'Lime, the cumulative
impact of all previous minor amendments will be considered and an
analysis will be made as to whether any conditions are necessary
to address the cumulative impacts. ,
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
concerning this matter.

SP-144 - S.D.G & E - AGENDA ITEM J2
The attorney for S.D.G.&E has raised questions about the City's
ability to place conditions on this project with respect to street
dedications and undergrounding of utilities (Engineering Condition
No. 10) . Staff is requesting additional time to research this
matter. Since it may be necessary to open the entire Specific Plan
for review, staff is recommending that this item be tabled at this
time with renoticing when staff has completed its research.

RE: ENCINA POWER PLAN SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT
Dear Mr. Parrott:
I regret that SDG&E has decided, by virtue of your hand delivered
letter of May 26, 1989, to make a legal issue out of staff's
recommended conditions of approval for the above referenced
project. I think it is unfortunate that SDG&E has rejected my
suggestion that the policy makers of our respective agencies meet
and, as good neighbors, find a common ground. I don't think any
useful purpose will be served by answering your letter in detail,
however, "for the record" your characterization of the situation
and our conversation is not correct. The City is not satisfying
any "wish list." I didn't attempt to "justify" anything nor did
I ask you to "capitulate." I think your letter demonstrates a
"bunker mentality" and a complete failure to understand the
situation. Staff's conditions simply ask the company to
acknowledge that they will comply with the same obligations of
every other property owner in the City of Carlsbad and that is to
be responsible for property dedication and improvements to City
standards including curb, gutter, sidewalk, paving and underground
utilities on their property frontages. Legalities aside, I can't
imagine why the company would want to make an issue out of that.
Nevertheless, at your request, I will undertake to review the
legalities of the two conditions.
At a meeting in my office on June 1, 1989 I asked the City Engineer
and the Planning Director to transfer their files on the matter to
my office for review. I have also asked for copies of the agenda
bill, staff report and the underlying specific plan as amended so
I can evaluate your concerns.

Dear Robbie:
As a follow-up to our telephone conversation, the City of
Carlsbad has long expressed interest in acquiring, in fee,
easement, or other operating agreement, the SDG&E "fishing
parking lot" along the east side of Carlsbad Boulevard, south of
the Agua Hedionda bridge. It is our understanding that there
have been discussions between City and SDG&E personnel for years
regarding the concept of improving this area to provide
structured beach parking and safer access across Carlsbad
Boulevard. With the City's current improvements of Carlsbad
Boulevard well underway, it seems that the time is right to reach
some conclusion to our discussions in an effort to improve this
area and provide increased beach parking.
The City of Carlsbad is interested in acquiring the right from
SDG&E to improve this facility. Some years ago, engineering
plans were completed by the City which would install
approximately 116 parking spaces in the lot, parking lot lights,
a surrounding concrete sidewalk/walkway, and other related
landscaping and safety improvements. The City of Carlsbad's
existing permits from the California Coastal Commission and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Carlsbad Boulevard project
could be quickly amended to include these improvements.
We believe that substantial public benefit and increased public
safety would be derived from a joint City/SDG&E agreement for the
improvement of this area. We would appreciate your championing
this concept within SDG&E so that we could reach a mutually
beneficial agreement regarding these improvements.
