BOX 2390 SACRAMENTO 95811 July 23, 1973 RECEIVED JUL271973 Mr. Paul A. Williams r\TV r\c PARI CRAHCity of Carlsbad o, ^AKLbBAU 1200 Elm Avenue Planning Department Carlsbad, California 92008 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.

J. HOUSON Director 12 July 1973 Planning Department City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 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. C. J.

Williams City of Carlsbad Planning Department 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 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.

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. Sincerely yours, HOWARD C.
