Mr. FRANCIS FOX, 4250 Harrison Street stated he is the prapriefsr of FOX'S Snug Harbor which serves the area and would be glad to answer any questions, and that he favored the request as it complimnted the existing uses. There were no protests. The Public Hearing was closed at 7:45 P.M. Commissioner Jarvie asked Mr. Fox if the operator of Kay*s Boats at the south end of Encinitas would have charge of this shop. Mr. Fox replied that Mr. Johnson would be the operator aed they would be able to back the boats into the building through a large door so the motore would not have to be removed from the boats. He also stated that it would be next to his coffee shop and he is interested in getting more business places down there. Comissioner Jarvie stated the City should back it as it: is something they need by the lagoon and should encourage more businesses there and wondered why the area had not been rezoned and properly developed. The Secretary explained it was being held back because of the lack of sewers which was holding back a lot of large development. Commissioner Davis stated it was a good deal and they should have something like this so that boat enthusiasts could buy or have their boats or motors serviced without taking them to other towns. Vice-chairman Hughes and Comissioner Ward agreed with Comissioner Davis, A motion was made by Commissioner Neiswender and seconded by Commissioner Jarvie to adopt Resolution No. 229 recommending that the City Council pass a conditional use ordinance in accordance with their Resolution of Intention for the following reasons: 1.

Resolution No. 229 adopted, HEARING - RECLASSIFICATION - Request of Eugene L. Geil from R-1, 7,x)O to Cd3, - (General Commercial) Zoning on property located I at Pi0 Pico, between Tamarack Street and Chinqua- pin Avenue, more particularly described as ... being a portion of Tract 237, Thum Lands, Map Nom 1681 and being located at the southeast intersection of Tamarack Avenue and Pi0 Pico. City of Carlsbad. Notice of hearing was read. The Secretary certified as to publication of 3.. notice of heqring and the mailing of notices to property owners in the area. The Secretary then read the application, setting forth the reasons for re- questing the zone change. The Secretary reported there were no comnunications received on this request. MR. KAY KALICKA, P.O. Box 71, Carlsbad stated that he was sorry Mr. Geil could not be here tonight. Mr. Kalicka stated he had purchased this property from Mr. Geil with the understanding Mr. Geil and Chet Heftibridle will,.keep Lot 17 in the proposed subdivision to be know as Pic0 Manor Subdivision, He had planned this subdivision with this in mind. He had worked this out with the Engineering Department so that zoning could be made by design,(Letter explains why), so Tamarack could be widened to a 74’ road. This will be a busy intersection, Tamarack and Pi0 Pico, as all of the traffic that comes off the freeway will have to come up the ramp by this corner, This ramp will be one of the busiest as the bulk of traffic will be heading north and south and the next intersection will be 3 miles south from the City Limits. The purpose of this zone change is to be able to construct a service station at some later date, not now, but in a couple of years, There is nothing on this site at present. He hopes that Tamarack Avenue will be open soon to El Camino Real and this will be a strategic corner. He has discussed this rezoning wlth the Catholic Church on Pia Pico..and they have no objections. He reported that Mr. Rahe had no objections. The development of this land is stymied by the sewer situation, ... - . ” Mr. Kalicka stated the Council had to turn down some land because of lack of sewers and this would be a start of sewers. If granted this zone change, he would like to put in a concrete block wall along the side, separating it from the homes to be built in the proposed Pic0 Manor with the homes planned so this corner would not be a detriment to them. MR. RICHARD PHARR, 956 Tamarack Avenue, stated that he just found out that the purpose of the zone change was for the construction of P service station. - The first question he had was: about the sewers as they would have to go up to Pi0 Pic0 where the setrnr left off by the churcho T5e second question was about the widening of Tnmarack Avenue and the third was about the size of the lots and the type of homes thet would be built there. He stated he wanted an answer to these points; the questions were just a matter of clarification and not an objection, KAY KALICKA replied that there was no question about the sewers as the Eng- ineering Department has approved it and it would go up Adam and Pi0 Pico, All lots would be 7500 sq, ft., with houses built similar to those in Tamarack Manor, Kamar Construction Company side, The sewers on Tamarack and main when they extend the line. Vice-Chairman Hughes asked if any Public Hearing was closed at 8:13 would give land to widen the street on their Chinquapin will be hooked up to the sewer others would like to speak, P rM. .- Commissioner Jarvie stated that he was opposed at this time as they had turned down something.similar to this not too long ago at the southwest corner of Tamarack and U.S. 101. He.,hoped something else would go in, and would rather have a. nice motel in there, He stated that he hates to see a C-2 zone on the corner, Commissioner Neiswender stated that he was opposed to spot zoning a parcel in a residential area to commercial and it is against the Master Plan. lie said it would be the only service station on that side of the road from Rosecrans except a Union station. Commissioner Davis would like to look into the aspects of the application as they talked about having a service station there in a year or two. Vice-Chairman Hughes stated he was inclined to feel that if the absent Commissioners were present, they would be opposed to this also, and this was not the time to grant a request of this nature. A motion was made by Commissioner Jarvie and seconded by Commissioner Neis- wender that Resolution No, 231 be adopted denying this variance for the following reasons: 1. This would constitute "Spot Zoningfi1 as all surrounding property is residential. 2, There is noLpublic necessity for such a change of zone. 3. To change the zone would be detrimental to surrounding property. The Vice-chairman asked for a roll call vote, AYES: Vice-chairman Hughes, Commissioners Davis, Neiswender, Jarvie NOES: None and Ward, ABSENT: Chairman Grant and Commissioner Kistler. Resolution No, 231 adopted. MR. KAY KALICKA requested that the tentstive subdivision Map of Pic0 Manor which appears as the next item on the agenda be withdrawn due to the preceding Zone reclassification being denied. Mr. KALICKA stated that he had felt that this was the only logical way to zone before building these homes. The idea was to have it planned so the people buying the property would know in advance what the zoning would be. He thought this was better than to have the people buy the property and then have a zone change. A short recess was called at 8:25 P.M. The meeting was reconvened at 8:35 P.M. Tentative Subdivision Map - VALLEY MOR The Secretary certified as to mailing of notices to adjacent property owners. He then read the recommendations from the various departments and agencies, and stated that the Engineers report was made too late to make up the Reso- lution before the meeting. The Secretary read correspondence from the subdivider relative to the sub- etandard lots in the proposed subdivision. Vice-chairman Hughes asked Mr. Kalicka if he had anything more to say. MR. ROY KLEMA, Engineer for Kamar Construction Company, questioned the necessity of a 34' turn around at the south end of Valley Street. About three houses would be served by this street, It would have to be placed on the west on existing school property. LOWELL A. RATHBUN, City Engineer, stated it was the reconmendation of the Engineering Department that they would want the turn around if the required right-of-way was dedicated by the schooi. If not, it would be deleted. ROY KLEMA stated he would have-shown a 20' rear yard on lot 26 but it leqves the house without anything behind it except a rather high fence and would recommend a rear yard exception as the rear yard does not comply with the present zoning. The City Engineer recommends that conditional exception he granted on lots 26; lots 11 and 12 (which are sub-standard in area), and lot 9 allowing 15' front yard as designated on Engineers check map, It would be ridiculous to reduce back yard of lot 9. The Secretary explained that by accepting this subdivision the City would in fact be abandoning the proposed extension route of Tamarack Easterly to El Camino Real as shown on the Master Plan. Commissioner Jarvie asked Mr. Rathbun about the capacity of the sewer plant and what effect this subdivision would have on it. Mr. Rathbun stated that we have not met our limit. They have recently in- stalled a chlorination system which should work until the new sewer site is in operation. .- The Vice-chairman asked for a roll call VO~. NOES: None ABSENT: Chairman Grant and Comissioner Kistler Resolution No. 230 adopted. Old Business : (a) Report of the Parks and Recreation Committee. Commissioner Neiswender reported that Commissioner Davis, Ward and he met with the Parks and Recreation Commission the night before and discussed their program in general as well as the objectives of their Commission. Their committee feels that the Parks and Recreation Commission have proper object- ives and a working program for their accomplishment. In this light they feel that their committee should be dissolved as there is duplication of effort. Commissioner,,,Davis stated that he felt: there was no need for their Cornittee at this time. Vice-Chairman,,,Hughes asked that by common consent the cornittee be dissolved as of tonight. (b) Major Street width report. Vice-chairman Hughes reported that he and his comittee went out with Toby Thornton, Assistant City Engineer, and viewed the proposed route of Tamarack to El Camino Real and are working up more information on this. New Business : Tamarack Avenue Exter.sion - The City Engineer stated he would like to make a statement concerning Tamarack extension at this time as he has checked wit,h the Division of High&& about the widening of the overpass at Tamarack Ave. Unless the curb to curb width is 64' the Division of Highways will not re- construct the Tamarack overpass. The Engineers have been busy with sub- divisions, but have the complete route and feel that it is feasible. The Commissioners should consider this as a presise route and should consider whether they...are ready for a public heqring before putting out more mney on this project. Vice-chairman Commissioners Hughes asked ... that this matter be set aside until all of the were present. The City Engineer stated that he thought we should not delay because of the homes that might go in. The Secretary asked if it would not be better to postpone the Public Hearing on the rebrouting of Tamarack until the Engineering Department decides the exact width of the Right-of-Way and the design, as the State Division of Highways has refused to consider the reconstruction of the Tamarack overpass as the proposed design is sub-standard. Commissioner Jarvie stated it was better to Come south as we are planning to do, as we have Chestnut Avenue ... entering El Camino Real now, and the situation will not get better if we wait. A motion was made by Conmissioner Jarvie and seconded by Conmissioner Davis that Resolution of Intention No. 25 be adopted for continuing Tamarack Avenue to Ei Catnino Real as a major street as recommended by the Engineering Depart- ment ametldin& the Master Street Plan. fhe Vice-chairman asked for a roll call vote, ... AYES: Vice-chairman Hughes, Commissioners Davis, Neiswender, Jarvie and Ward. NOES :.. None ABSENT: Chairman Grant and Commissioner Kistler. ..* Resolution of Intention No, 25 adopted. Elm Avenue extension to El Camino Real. Elm Avenue would curve up to Oak Avenue in a southeasterly route and would enter Oak Avenue west of Highland Drive. Oak Avenue would go to Canon Road through Hosp Eucalyptus Grove to El Camino Real. Mr. Rathbun, City Engineer, stated that Blaine Smiley's property was in the way of this planned route and Mr. Smiley had gone to the City Hall on November 7, 1961, to take out a permit to build a $16,000 home. Mr. Rathbun took the problem to the City Council that night to see if a plan could be made to pur- chase the property fn order to save the City the cost of the home. He stated an appraisal was being made and the decision will be brought to the Counc i 1. A motion was made by Commissioner Neiswender and seconded by Commissioner Davis to adopt Resolution of Intention No. 26 to hold Public Hearings on amending the Master Street Plan for the realignment of Elm Avenue Extension easterly to El Camino Real as sho wn... in the City Engineer's realignment plan.
