RP 87-7 MACARONI AND COMPANY Refurbish existing restaurant at 2747 Carlsbad Boulevard to include rebuilding front deck, enclosing and extending rear deck, and providing handicapped restrooms. Brian Hunter gave the staff presentation as contained in the staff report, stating all development standards had been met. The addition is in the rear of the structure, essentially enclosing the rear deck, and is a typical addition that would be made to a structure of this type. Mr. Hunter stated the Engineering Department has conditioned the project to provide for the improvement of Carlsbad Boulevard, including curb, gutter and sidewalk. Eitan Aharoni, Architect, A. E. Design, stated the applicant would like to improve the existing use by enclosing the patio. The applicant has no problem with the conditions, but as far as the improvements to the street, he does not own the building. The church owns the building and would have to approve that. Mr. Aharoni explained the color scheme would be reversed as far as the light and dark blue colors. Mr. Aharoni reiterated their main concern was the cost of the street improvements. Dave Hauser stated under the streetscape plan, they would be responsible for one-half the cost of the median. The applicant will have to work this out with the owner of the property. Mr. Hauser added a change in a structure with a cost over $10,000 triggers the public improvement requirement. He stated he would get the cost to Mr. Aharoni next week.
