Dear Mr. Williams:
We have reviewed the draft environemtnal impact report (June 1973) for the
proposed "Beach Colony Condominiums".
There is a question to be resolved regarding the land ownerships related to
this proposed development. The Attorney General's Office is presently inves-
tigating the issue and we will notify you of their interpretation.
In respect to the environmental impact report prepared by Environmetrics
Development Planning our comments are:
1. The proposed 40' public easement is in conflict with the "California
Comprehensive Ocean Area Plan" 1972, which states that:
"A public easement at least 100 feet in width should be provided
wherever possible between the high tide line and private develop-
ments, when such developments are initiated in undeveloped areas,
in order that lateral public access can be maintained along the
shoreline. This requirement may be modified, as necessary, in
areas where public safety, site security or other unusual circum-
stances exist."
2. The Coastal Zone Conservation Act 1972, stipulates that:
"A development will not substantially interfere with, or distract
from, the line of sight toward the sea from the state highway
nearest the coast". As stated in the report, Interstate 5 is
the "state highway nearest the coast", (actually some distance
east) but the county highway (Coast Highway) is adjacent to the
proposed development and certainly the development cannot help
but be a substantial block to the line of sight toward the sea
from this much-used highway.
3. The accumulative effect of developments of this type would have
a. profound negative impact on the state's beach areas.
Mr. Paul A. Williams -2- July 23, 1973
t
4. This land was included in the 1965 acquisition study to connect
La Costa with Ponto State Beaches. The site will have a high
priority for acquisition in the 1974 bond studies.
Thank you for the opportunity of commenting on this proposed development.

SUBJECT: Beach Colony Condominiums—EIR
Your letter of 25 June 1973 requested a review of subject condominium project.
This property bordering on the north side of Batiquitos Lagoon, is in the San
Diego County Flood Control District. Although the property has been annexed
into the City of Carlsbad, it has not been de-annexed from the District.
Therefore, the District has a responsibility to maintain all drainage facilities
dedicated to the District for that purpose. Prior to accepting maintenance
responsibilities, these facilities should meet the District's minimum standards
and be approved by the District.
The report comments on (1) the probability of wave action and beach erosion, and
possibly mitigating these natural forces by construction of a concrete seawall;
and (2) designing runoff to discharge into the ocean. From our viewpoint, the
report appears to provide a broad, over-view of problems that could affect the
engineering of this project. The brief analysis of the ocean's impact and the
geology of the land provides us with useful information. The method of
draining surface waters into the ocean was barely mentioned. The copy of the
early tentative map notes t|iat storm drains may be required. These drains
should be shown on the tentative map. The seawall should be shown on the tentative
map with an appropriate cross-section.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this report.
We are returning the report as requested in your letter.

Dear Mr. Williams:
Subject: Beach Colony Condominiums: Environmental Impact Report
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft E.I.R. submitted
for the Beach Colony Condominium project.
Assuming that this project will be heard before the San Diego Coast
Regional Commission, it will be reviewed and evaluated, at that time,
in respect to the criteria set forth by Proposition 20. Of especial
concern to the Beach Colony project would be the following factors:
1. Would the project eliminate or diminish any existing coastal vistas;
2. Would the project eliminate or degrade any established public access
points to the beach;
3. Will the project encroach onto a public beach (if so, to what extent);
4. Is the project in substantial conformance with the established
character of the surrounding neighborhood?
It is our hope that the preceding comments will assist you in your
evaluation of the environmental impact of the Beach Colony Condominium
project. If you have additional need for information from us, do not
hesitate in calling.
Very truly yours,
Thomas A. Crandall — «, /-<« T-I T f 7- TTI ~ri

Attention: Mr. Paul A. Williams, Planning Department
Dear Mr. Williams:
The Governing Board and District Administration appreciate
the opportunity of reviewing the environmental impact report
for the proposed Beach Colony Condominiums as submitted by
your agency on June 25, 1973.
It is the opinion of the District that this development when
completed may have from eight to ten school age children in
residence. It is noted that the environmental report makes
no mention as to school age children residing in the develop-
ment nor the availability of the classroom space in the District.
It is hoped that the above information will be useful in
accordance with your request for comments and observations
by representatives of this district.
