Mr. William Hedenkamp, of Hedenkamp and Associates,
addressed the Committee. Mr. Hedenkamp indicated that his
firm picked up the project after another architect had
previously met with Staff regarding parking and curb cuts.
He added that his firm respected any decisions made
regarding same, and has continued with the design of the
project .
With the aid of a project model and samples of various
building mateials, Mr. Hedenkamp continued to outline the
design of the proposed project, and elevations for same.
In conclusion, Mr. Hedenkamp explained that with the
absence of a bypass line, they are proposing to double up
on the vacuum tube facilities in each traffic lane, which
will allow the cars to get in and out faster, and
alleviate any problems in terms of stacking.
Drew Aitken further indicated that the issue of traffic
will be analyzed when the project goes before the Planning
Commission.
Concern was expressed with regard to left hand turns out
of the alley onto Elm Avenue, and it was suggested that
the alley be signed for right hand turns only.
Aitken added that same was also a concern of the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Hedenkamp indicated that the applicant is aware of
same and has no objection.
Richard Allen responded to Committee questions regarding
the feasibility of a one-way alley.
Mr.
Chairman Hayes suggested that the matter be referred to
the Traffic Safety Commission as far as the redevelopment
area is concerned.
Mr. Hedenkamp indicated that the Coastal Commission will
not process the application until it is reviewed by the
City.

Member Hall expressed concern with regard to the proposed
parking for both employees and customers.
Following discussion, the Committee found the La Jolla
Bank and Trust proposal consistent with the overall
objective of the Village Design Manual, that it is in
conformance with the uses provided for in sub-area 1, and
that the project meets the parking requirements for this
type of use; and recommended approval of same subject to
the following conditions:
'1) Approval of a landscape plan by the City of
Carlsbad prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit.
2) Approval of a sign program by the City of
Carlsbad prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit.
3) Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a drive-
thru facility by the Planning Commission.
Member Ward stated his opinion that although the applicant
is proposing six compact car spaces, they could provide
for additional parking; <.e., one or two additional
spaces.
Commitee discussion related to alternatives to parking for
employees. Member Ward suggested same be brought to the
attention of the applicant.
Michael Holmziller indicated that the Planning Commission
directed Staff to review the parking requirements, as
they relate to office use, approximately six months ago.
He added that Staff has completed the study, and will be
recommending to the Planning Commission that the parking
requirements presently in the Ordinance be revised for
office use.
Discussion reflected on alley access, and the Committee
tabled the matter to the next regular meeting.
DRB #19 - Royal Palms

regarding developments along the beach within the
redevelopment area that exceed the 35 foot height limit.

of wall exhibits explained the design of the project.
