Re: Excessive Trash in and around concrete planter
Dear Business Owner:
It was recently brought to my attention that an excessive amount of trash is collecting in and
around the concrete planter that is directly adjacent to Caldo Pomodoro on the side of the
building fronting Grand Avenue. Most of this debris is in the forni of cigarette butts and packs.
The planter was not installed by the City, therefore, staff believes it may have been placed by
the owner, previous owner, or owners of the businesses located in the building. The subject
planter needs to be utilized as intended and maintained with adequate planting, or removed.
Regarding the trash around the planter, it not only creates visual blight, but the debris could
enter the storm drain which flows directly into the ocean, then posing environmental hazards as
well. I am requesting your immediate assistance in rectifying this situation.
I appreciate your cooperation in resolving these matters. If you have any questions concerning
the information contained in this letter, please contact my office at (760) 434-2810 ext 5017.

Re: Patio Enclosure
Dear Business Owner-
It has recently been brought to our attention that lattice has been placed above the
railing along the outdoor patio area of your restaurant. The lattice enclosure is not part
of the outdoor dining permit approved for your location, and therefore is not permitted.
The outdoor dining permit for your location was approved through an Administrative
Redevelopment permit (SRP 97-01), which allowed a low (42") railing to be installed on
the public sidewalk in order to Insure the tables and chairs within the outdoor dining area
would not impede pedestrian traffic. However, all outdoor dining within the Village is
intended to be seasonal. Your outdoor dining area is located on public property and
was not intended to become a permanent addition to your restaurant. The addition of
the lattice walls begins to permanently enclose the outdoor restaurant area and is
considered an extension of the restaurant space. Enclosure of outdoor dining patio
space triggers additional parking requirements and these additional parking
requirements may prove difficult to be provided on-site. Therefore, staff recommends
that you remove the lattice work immediately as it is a violation of your current permit
and to apply for a permit that allows lattice work may prove difficult due to the additional
parking requirements.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. If you have any questions
regarding the information contained in this letter, please contact my office at (760) 434-
2812.
Sincerely,
CITY OF CARLSBAD

Re: Outdoor Sales
Dear Business Owner:
It has recently been brought to our attention that retail items were being sold fronn an
outdoor display on the public sidewalk in front of your restaurant on May 7, 2006.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that Outdoor Displays on both private
property and the public right-of-way must be permitted by the City of Carlsbad. The
Redevelopment Department currently has a permit (RP 97-01) on file for outdoor
tables and chairs; however, this permit does not allow for an outdoor display or retail
sales on the public-right-of-way. If you wish to have an outdoor display, you must
apply for an Outdoor Display Permit. You may pick up an application for an Outdoor
Display Permit at our office located at 2965 Roosevelt Street, Suite B.
As a courtesy to you, I am sending you this letter before this becomes a code
enforcement Issue In the future. If you have any questions regarding the information
contained In this letter, please contact my office at (760) 434-2812.

RE: PLANTERS OUTSIDE OF 2907 STATE STREET
City staff is in the process of enhancing our efforts to improve and maintain the
appearance of the Village Area for the enjoyment of visitors, residents, and merchants. It
has been brought to our attention that there are a number of planters placed around the
building at 2907 State Street that are empty or lacking an adequate amount of plant
material. Staff believes that since the planters were not installed by the City, they were
probably placed around the building by the owner, previous owner, or owners of
businesses located in the building. These planters need to be utilized as intended and
maintained with adequate amounts of suitable plants in them, or removed.
Although the City will not be responsible for maintaining these privately owned planters,
you may contact Greg Dauss of the City's landscape maintenance staff at 434-2954 to
assist you in determining what types of plants would be easy to maintain and well suited
for those locations. Please contact me at 434-2818 if you intend to remove the planters.
Thank you for your assistance in enhancing the appearance of the Village Area.

RE: APPLICATION FOR SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS, CALDO POMODORO
Dear Fran:
Enclosed please find the following three Items: Encroachment Agreement, "Property
Owner Information/Certification" form, and a copy ofthe Certificate of Insurance with
notes. These items are forwarded to you for action as related to your application for a
permit for sidewalk tables and chairs, with an enclosure, for your restaurant
establishment known as Caldo Pomodoro located at 2907 State Street.
The following actions are required to complete the processing, and approval, ofyour
Sidewalk Cafe permit:
1. The Encroachment Agreement must be signed by both you and Tom Betz, as the
property owner. Please note that both signatures must be notarized. Once the
agreement has been signed and notarized, please return It to my office for final
execution.
2. The "property owner Information/certification" statement needs to be completed and
signed by Tom Betz, as the property owner. This statement will be added to the
original administrative redevelopment permit application you submitted to my office
for processing. Please return the statement to my office after It has been completed
and signed by Mr. Betz.
As requested, your Insurance company did forward to us a new, original Certificate of
Insurance which Is required forthe Sidewalk Cafe. However, the Certificate needs to be
amended to specifically list the City of Carisbad and Carisbad Redevelopment Agency
as "additional Insureds". Please contact your insurance representative and ask him to
forward a new Certificate of Insurance to my attention at 2965 Roosevelt, Suite B,
Carlsbad, Ca. 92008.

RE: APPLICATION FOR SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS
Dear Gina & Fran:
This correspondence Is fonA/arded to you to update you on the status of your
application for a permit for a Sidewalk Cafe, the fees related to the application and
additional Information regarding processing of the permit.
First, we have completed all of the required Internal reviews for the Sidewalk Cafe
Permit Application you originally submitted on April 15, 1996. The Engineering
Department has determined that, with the exception of the possible bumper
encroachment Into the five foot clear sidewalk area, the revised plans (dated May 17,
1996) you submitted are acceptable for final processing. We have determined Internally
that It will not be necessary to also process an Encroachment Permit In order to obtain
the Sidewalk Cafe Permit. However, It will be necessary for you and the property owner
to sign a Encroachment Agreement, record the agreement against the property, and
provide the necessary insurance. The Encroachment Agreement will be required
because you will be constructing a permanent structure within the City of Carisbad's
Right-of-Way. If at some future date, a restaurant Is no longer located at the subject
site, the City will require removal of the enclosure. The Encroachment Agreement will
be forwarded to you separately for execution and further processing.
Second, we still have the outstanding Issue to resolve regarding the fees to be applied
to Sidewalk Cafes. Due to a previous action by the City Council taken In June, 1996,
one of the fees previously quoted to you was eliminated. As you may remember, you
were quoted a total fee amount of $34,393 for traffic Impact fees, sewer fees and water
fees. The City Council recently took action to restructure the water fees. Therefore, the
previously quoted water fee of $14,057 has been eliminated completely; this fee will no
longer be applied unless a new water line Is being added to an existing or new building.
The fees remaining are the sewer fee and the traffic Impact fee which previously
amounted to $20,336, when your proposal Included a total of 44 outdoor seats. With the
revised plans you submitted (dated May, 17, 1996), your outdoor seating capacity was

reduced to 22 seats; this will reduce your sewer and traffic Impact fees to approximately
$11,000 under the current fee structure.
For Information purposes, an Agenda Bill Is currently being processed for review by the
City Council which would propose a further restructuring ofthe fees to be applied to
outdoor tables and chairs. Although I do not have ail of the details related to this fee
restructuring at this time, I am aware that consideration Is being given to allowing a
certain number of tables and chairs outdoors with no related fee. Any number of tables
and chairs over this given number would then be required to pay the fees In effect at
the time of application. I will keep you updated on the status ofthis fee restructuring. It
Is anticipated that this Issue will be considered by the City Council sometime within the
next few weeks. As soon as the Agenda Bill is available for distribution to the public, a
copy will be fonA/arded to you for your review.
We are continuing to process your application while we are waiting for a decision on the
fees. As soon as the decision on the fees has been made by the City Council, action
will be taken to finalize your permit and prepare It for Issuance to you.
If you have any comments or questions regarding your application or this
correspondence, please contact my office at (619) 434-2935.

RE: APPLICATION FOR SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS/ARP 96-03
Dear Gina & Fran:
Thank you for submitting your application for a permit to allow sidewalk tables and chairs with
an enclosure at the site of your eating establishment (Caldo Pomodoro) located at 2911 State
Street within the City of Carlsbad.
As you are already aware the Engineering Department has completed their review of your
application to ensure that there are no safety issues represented by the plan you have submitted
to our office. The following is a summary of the comments and revisions requested to the site
plan, as referenced on the attached redline copy of your plans:
1. The number of tables and chairs outside may not exceed the number of tables and chairs
located inside your establishment. The site plan shows eleven outdoor tables and states
that there will be four chairs per table. This would result in a total of forty four chairs
rather than the forty one seats specified in the sunmiary table;
2. Vehicles parked in the diagonal parking spaces on State Street will more than likely
overhang into the curb or sidewalk area. This will intrude into the minimum five feet
of clear sidewalk area required for pedestrian use;
3. The fencing at the comer of State Street and Grand forces pedestrians to walk on to the
handicap accessibility ramp, which increases the possibility of pedestrians tripping or
even falling down;
4. As previously discussed with you, the new Village Master Plan and Design Manual
requires fees for the establishment or continuation of Sidewalk Cafes. These fees are
fairly substantial and are the same as those paid by restaurants who expand their seating
areas on private property. You will be required to pay the following (one time) fees in
order to receive your permit for a Sidewalk Cafe:
a. Traffic Impact Fee ~ $9,758 ($34 per ADT @ 7 ADTs per 1 seat)
b. Sewer Capacity Fee ~ $10,836 ($1,806 per EDU @ 1 EDU per 7 seats)

Caldo Pomodoro~ARP 96-03
Page 2
c. Water Fee ~ $14,057 ($2,400 per EDU @ 1 EDU per 7 seats)
The . above fees are based on the amount of seats and seating space represented by the
Sidewalk Cafe. Per your site plan, Caldo Pomodoro is proposing a maximum of 41
outdoor seats; and,
5. The site plan specifies that the fence will be anchored to the ground within the right of
way. Per City Ordinance NS-5 Section 11.16., 150, an above ground encroachment
permit will be required. Approval of this permit must be granted by the City Council.
In order for Caldo Pomodoro to receive the Sidewalk Cafe permit, the City must find that Caldo
Pomodoro has complied with all criteria established relative to Sidewalk Cafes and that the use
is not likely to result in health or safety problems nor is it likely to adversely impact adjacent
uses. Based upon the design of the outdoor dining area as currently proposed by Caldo
Pomodoro, the City is unable to support the approval of this Sidewalk Cafe permit. Staff is
also unable to support the approval of an encroachment permit for the sidewalk cafe at this time.
Additionally, the City has received repeated complaints regarding Caldo Pomodoro's existing
outdoor dining area. The placement and number of chairs, tables, and umbrellas have
continually interfered with pedestrian traffic and present a safety problem. In accordance with
the City's Village Master Plan and Design Manual, sidewalk cafes or dining areas must maintain
a clear area of at least five feet in width for pedestrian use. The City is reluctant to support
Caldo Pomodoro's application for a Sidewalk Cafe permit until Caldo Pomodoro has
demonstrated compliance with this requirement.
It is requested that you revise the site plan for the sidewalk cafe as noted on the attached redline
copy of your plans and resubmit such revisions to our office to process this permit as quickly
as possible.
If you have any additional comments or questions regarding your application or this
correspondence, please contact Debbie Fountain or my office at 434-2935.

RE: APPLICATION FOR SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS
Dear Gina & Fran:
Your application and revised site plan for a Sidewalk Cafe permit with an enclosure is
currently being processed. The Engineering Department Is reviewing the application
at this time to ensure that there are no safety Issues represented by the plan you
have submitted to our office. Although I do not anticipate any problems, It is important
that the Engineering Department complete Its review and provide comments before
the permit can be Issued for your proposed Sidewalk Cafe.
While the Engineering Department Is completing Its review of your application, I
wanted to take the opportunity to share some Information with you regarding fees
related to the Sidewalk Cafes. For many years, Sidewalk Cafes have been allowed to
operate with no fees or required permits from the City. As part of the new Village
Master Plan and Design Manual, the City has agreed to allow the continuation of
Sidewalk Cafes with new standards and permit requirements. With these new
requirements, fees will also now be required from the eating or drinking
establishment. These fees are fairiy substantial and are the same as those paid by
restaurants who expand their seating areas on private property.
You will be required to pay the following (one time) fees In order to receive your
permit for a Sidewalk Cafe:
1. Permit Processing Fee: $150
2. Traffic Impact Fee: $3400 (estimate)
3. Sewer Capacity Fee: $10,836 (estimate)
The above sewer and traffic fees are estimates based on the Information I have to
date. A final fee estimate will be provided by the Engineering Department. The fees
are based on the amount of seats and seating space represented by the Sidewalk
Cafe.

May 3, 1996
Page 2
You should review the above fees to ensure that the Sidewalk Cafe remains a
financially feasible option for expanding your restaurant operations. At this time, all
eating or drinking establishments with Sidewalk Cafes In the Village will be expected
to pay these fees in order to retain the right to have tables and chairs on the public
sidewalk. Outdoor cafes on private property will be assessed the same fees.
I will be on vacation from May 6 through 16, 1996. Therefore, I will not be able to
complete processing of your permit until May 17, 1996. At that time, I should have
final comments from Engineering and will be able to take final action on your permit.
In the meantime, you should ensure that you are prepared to pay the fees outlined
within this correspondence. A final fee amount will be presented to you upon my
return.
Thank you for your attention to the matters outlined within this correspondence and
your patience as we process your permit. Your request represents the first Sidewalk
Cafe to be processed for a permit since approval of the new Village Master Plan and
Design Manual.

RE: APPLICATION FOR SIDEWALK TABLES & CHAIRS
Dear Gina & Fran:
Thank you for submitting your application for a permit to allow sidewalk tables and
chairs with an enclosure at the site of your eating establishment (Caldo Pomodoro)
located at 2911 State Street within the City of Carisbad.
The application with the exhibits submitted to the Housing and Redevelopment
Department on April 15, 1996 are being returned to you at this time for revisions.
Also, the application was not signed as required by the standards for sidewalk cafes
and the fee for processing the application was not Included with the submittal. It Is
requested that you revise the plans for the sidewalk cafe as noted on the redline copy
of your plans (attached) and then resubmit the application with appropriate signatures
and the $150 fee. A check for the fee should be made out to the "City of Carisbad".
Also, you need to provide a Certificate of Insurance in the amount of $1 million to my
office before the permit for the Sidewalk Cafe will be issued.
The following represents a summary of the revisions requested to the site plan
submitted with your application:
1. As we discussed previously, the number of tables and chairs outside may not
exceed the number of tables and chairs located Inside your establishment. Per
your plans, you have 12 tables & 42 seats located Inside the establishment.
Therefore, you may have no more that 11 tables and 41 seats within the
Sidewalk Cafe area. You will need to revise your plans to reflect this standard.
2. The Redevelopment Agency will not approve the extension of the enclosed
Sidewalk Cafe Area beyond five (5) feet from the westeriy edge of the gate on
the North elevation (Grand Avenue side of enclosure). Based on your site plan,
the elimination of this enclosure area will result in the elimination of three (3)
tables and approximately 10 to 12 chairs.

3. The Redevelopment Agency will not permit the "pop out" of the Sidewalk Cafe
area on the east elevation (State Street front of building) which allows for five
(5) tables rather than three (3) tables. This area must be enclosed so that It Is
equal to the alternate side (south side of doors/entrance) In size and shape.
4. Please indicate directly on the site plans how you Intend to secure the wrought
iron fencing. For example, will you be bolting the fencing to the sidewalk or to
the building only?
We did review the photographs of the tables and chairs as well as the proposed
fencing type/style that you submitted with your application. The furniture and fencing
styles and materials are acceptable to the Carisbad Redevelopment Agency. Please
resubmit these photographs with your completed application and revised plans.
On a final note, 1 wanted to remind you that upon final approval of your Sidewalk Cafe
permit you will be required to strictly adhere to the approved site plan and related
permit. You will not be allowed to extend the enclosure area or add tables and chairs
without the prior written approval of the Carisbad Redevelopment Agency. You also
will not be allowed to place additional tables outside the enclosed area.
In addition, 1 wanted to let you know that you will be responsible for relocating the
planter noted on your site plan. The Agency would also like for you to agree to
maintain the subject planter as part of your project. Business owners are responsible
for watering and maintaining the planters In front of their businesses. Unfortunately,
few business owners are aware of this requirement. As part of your project approval,
you will be free to plant any flowers of your choice within the planter and then be
responsible for watering them, weeding/trimming and/or replanting when necessary.
As soon as you complete the application and revisions to the site plan, please
resubmit the entire package so that we might be able to continue processing the
permit as quickly as possible.

RE: ENCLOSURE AREA FOR SIDEWALK CAFE
Dear Gina & Fran:
Thank you for submitting a preliminary site plan indicating
the location for your proposed enclosed outdoor seating area. A
review of your preliminary plan by the City has resulted in a
determination that it appears you will be able to meet the
standards set forth within the new Village Master Plan & Design
Manual for sidewalk cafes.
The City of Carlsbad is currently preparing an application
form for processing permits related to sidewalk cafes. This form
should be ready for your use within the next couple of weeks. In
the meantime, you need to prepare detailed plans which will provide
precise dimensions for the sidewalk area to be used by your
restaurant. These plans must show the locations of all planters,
trees, or street furniture in the area and immediately adjacent to
it. You will also need to provide detailed elevations showing the
type of tables and chairs, the locations of these tables and
chairs, and the design of the enclosure in relationship to the
existing building. These plans should be prepared by a
professional architect or similar person.
As soon as the Sidewalk Cafe Application is ready, it will be
mailed to you. It is important to note that you will ultimately be
responsible to provide a Certificate of Insurance in the amount of
$1 million to the City of Carlsbad before a permit will be issued
to you. This Certificate of Insurance must name the City of
Carlsbaci as additionally insured.

Re:
Enclosed sidewalk cafe
Please accept this letter as our formal request to install a 42 inch high, light weight iron rail
enclosure that will enable us to add 15 to 20 (out door) dinning tables to our restraint. We have
reviewed the sidewalk cafe guide lines that were supplied to us by your department, and feel that
we should fit within the guide lines, with out any problems. As you may be aware we have been in
business at this same address at 2911 State st. going on 5 years. We feel that our proposed
enclosed out door side walk cafe area is a natural for our location. It is our opinion, and we hope
you agree, that it will not only enhance our particular location but become an asset for the entire
neighborhood, enticing tourism into the village. Customers will be able to relax with their lunch or
diner outdoors while enjoying the village square at State & Grand.
Please review the site plan that we have included. We would love have you come down to the
Caldo this week so that we may discuss our little project with you over a cup of coffee.
Please feel fi-ee to call us so that we may address any of your questions or concems regarding the
above. We look forward to hearing from you.
