I advised them that the facility was being operated in violation of the Redevelopment Permit. I delivered to them a copy of the letter outlining the conditions (this was also mailed to them on June 20, 1989). I recommended that the premises should be brought into operational compliance immediately. Both indicated that steps would be taken to correct any violations.

He voiced concern about the continued table service. I asked Chris if George hadn't called him to discuss this and Chris replied that George had not as yet. Chris went onto mention that both the mayor and councilwoman - Anne Kulchin had voiced concern to him over this issue but that he had been to busy to address it. Chris requests you call him as this with him. soon as possible to discuss table service, the city as soon two possibilities have discussed or As we have discussed several times I feel it absolutely necessary to work closely and openly with the city. The only issue you, and as a result the Carlsbad Inn, are exposed on is It is incumbent on you to resolve the issue with as possible. As I see the situation there are 1) a Tip Top Meats style operation which we 2) the city approving your current method of serving. The latter solution would obviously be the best for you but quite frankly I don't see this as a real potential for this year. As you know the operation of your site is up for review in October with the planning commission. I urge you to take whatever action necessary to make this a "non-issue" with the city. My role is to insure compliance with the citys wishes in order to maintain a good relationship. I am concerned that this "issue" of non-compliance could taint the relationship between the city of Carlsbad and the Carlsbad Inn. I'm sure you understand I could not allow this to happen. As such your immediate attention in this matter is requested. I'd like to set up a follow-up meeting with you on Thursday, June 22, to discuss any progress.

Three factors are primary in determining a lessee: a. Compliance to operating conditions b. Quality operator that fits in to our image c. Ability of operator to profit and prosper in this location Mr. Georges - Henri Fortier, owner of Four Seasons Catering, is interested in leasing this location. His operation is, in my opinion, a very good fit to the above criteria. His principle source of business will be the operation of the location as support for his off-site catering business. Ad- ditionally his concept fits in well with the other operations and decor of the Inn. We look forward to his Deli providing much needed support for our internal needs. In reviewing the conditions, Mr. Fortier has no issue with any, except for possible reconsideration of the restriction to "on" sale beer and wine. As a catering kitchen and deli/market (geared to take out and off-site as was the Eatery), Mr. Fortier would like to be able to allow on-site consumption of beer and wine. He is not, as we were not, proposing a bar. We leave that to Fidels. He is also not requesting longer hours: 11-7 pm non-summer, 11 am - 9 pm summer. We view the beer and wine as simply an amenity for casual consumers - typically walk by traffic, con- sumed on the open patio. Both Mr. Fortier and I would appreciate your help in obtaining release from this condition. I believe Mr. Fortier will pro- vide a quality operation that both I and the City of Carlsbad can be proud of. 3075 Carlsbad Boulevard • Carlsbad, California 92008 (619) 434-7020 Thank you for any assistance Yours truly.

This is a highly congested crossing area due to the public beach access way. Presently due to high pedestrian use and limited visibility by motorists because of curb parking, a safety problem is prevalent. Thank you for your immediate attention to this problem. It is our recommendation that a cross-walk be put in on Ocean Ave, half-way between Elm and Oak as soon as possible. Sincerely, Lisa Seamans Dir. Sales/Marketing P. 0.

At the Design Review Board meeting of December 6, 1986, staff was directed to prepare a report on the retail gazebo at the Carlsbad Inn. RP 84-3, THE CARLSBAD INN, was approved by Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. 03 3 on April 17, 1984. That approval requires development to occur substantially as shown on the exhibits. Review of the exhibits, dated February 27, 1984 and March 13, 1984, fails to show any such retail gazebo. The City first became aware of the gazebo from a landscape plan dated July 2, 1984. The plan indicates the gazebo would have six (6) three foot long benches installed in the interior. The architecture of the gazebo was described by Mr. James Watkins, President, Winner's Circle International, at a meeting of the Design Review Board on November 14, 1984. At that time no mention was made of any use beyond small social functions. On December 17, 1986, a business license application for "Suzanne's", a flower and gift shop operated by Susan and Tom Schumaker, was denied by the City of Carlsbad due to incorrect information. The application stated operation would be from the lobby of the hotel, while in fact it was from the gazebo. In either case, an amendment to the existing redevelopment permit would be required. The Carlsbad Inn is a multi-use project divided into four physically distinct parts; hotel, condominiums, restaurant, and retail. The landscape architecture is not only an aesthetic amenity that beautifies the project, but it also helps to define it. The gazebo is part of the landscape architecture and to abandon it to a retail use would, in staff's opinion, diminish the project. The original plan was well conceived by the applicant and well received by the City. Attempts to modify the overall concept since then have not met with similar success due to the initial design's maximum intensification of uses. The City's position has been that there is not room on site for expansion or intensification beyond what has already been approved. A retail use in either the hotel or gazebo would require additional parking. This use belongs in the retail building. It is not in keeping with the scale or intensity of development of the original approval if allowed in any other area.

We are saddened that we have been unable to find a solution to the parking requirement because we believe the Grunion's Run was a viable asset to the resort and the community. However, we are extremely pleased to have such a fine local baker and businessman as Peder Norby to establish an authentic retail Danish Bakery which will fit so well into the Carlsbad Inn theme of "European Elegance on the California Coast". The misunderstanding on the original Grunion's Run proposal and the tremendous loss of time and funds as a result of that miscommunication has been unfortunate. Our intent has always been to have the Carlsbad Inn represent the epitome of the goals and concepts set forth in the community's Village Design Manual, as our desire has always been to contribute and be a part of the Carlsbad Community. In order to accomplish the conversion as quickly as possible to satisfy the Commission's requirements, we therefore request your approval at the earliest possible date. Thank you for your consideration. Si ncerely, James M.

We believe it is in the best interests of all concerned to resolve the parking issue as directed by the City Council in Resolution 060 as soon as possible. The staff's preliminary thoughts on a possible Garfield Street parking district are excellent and would seem to offer the most logical and viable solution. Additionally, the surplus parking to be created over and above that required by Resolution 060 would be of significant benefit to the community. To accomplish the above in an expedient manner, please accept this letter as our commitment to pay for the estimated $50,000 to $60,000 in improvement cost for the entire area. Additionally, we would agree to enter into an agreement with the city to participate in a parking district for our proportionate share of the area so created. 1442 Camino Del Mar • Post Office Box 99 • Del Mar, California 92014 • 619/755-3991 Mr. Marty Orenyak -2- February 21, 1986 Would appreciate a meeting with you, Chris Salomone, the city engineer, city attorney, city planner and/or whomever you feel appropriate to proceed on the above matter at your earliest convenience.

Therefore, I thought it best to write you of our concerns on the recent decision by the Council to reverse your denial of the Carlsbad Inn/Grunion»s Rim project. As we own the property at 3065 Ocean Street we have been concerned with the parking limitations in the area for a long time. To that end I appeared be- fore the Planning Commission and your office when the permit for Mr. Watkin's development was first granted. At the time it was obvious to us that the parking and traffic problems so generated by large-scale develop- ments in that part of the beach area were going to be severe• Since then our plans to remodel our own building have had to be put on hold because of the Zone Overlay Ordinance passed last summer. We are caught in the maze of speculation about what the City intends to do and ^hen they intend to do it. We have talked to Mike Holz- millar and members of the City Council who say that they are going to hire a consultant to recommend a solution - a study which will take at least 6 months to complete. As of now I see no indication that such a person has been hired or a study begun. In our talks with Don Agatep he has suggested that we contact you about our dilemma as our idea of creating a parking district/lot in the general vicinity of Garfield between Elm and Grand falls within your jiurisdiction. Kindly advise how we can proceed and when we can get together on the phone to discuss the problem further. Si/icerely, cc Don Agatep f JiT ^// Mary \^/y Skinner (Mrs. iJm. P.

However, there are a few items of importance to the Carlsbad Inn that seem to have come to a halt. I really would appreciate your advice and guidance on what to do. (1) First is the median on Carlsbad Boulevard and proposed improvements of the Elm Street interchange. (See enclosed letter proposed to City Council.) (2) Second is the proposed beach club. We feel the beach club and above improvements will be as beneficial to the entire community as to the Inn. (See separate enclosed letter.) (3) The final item is a request. I am sure you are aware we had hoped to open the entire resort in May but due to delays it now appears it will be late September to coincide with the Scripps Hospital benefit we are hosting. The hotel, however, will be completed with the exception of the elevator and possibly some offsite improvements. We, of course, have posted a bond to assure completion of all offsite improvements. I am sure you can appreciate how important the July 4th weekend is to us. There simply will not be enough rooms in the area to accommodate the demand. We would therefore like to request a meeting onsite July 2nd to hopefully secure an occupancy permit for the first and second floors commencing July 3rd.

We feel it is also very important to the city to provide a well-maintained and orderly means for our several hundred guests to enjoy the beach with minimum impact on the community beaches. Last year when we met with the head of each city department, everyone concurred with the desirability of the facility and we had hoped it could be completed with the Inn. We submitted the requested Land Use Planning Application on March 5, 1985 together with requested documentation. Several months ago we were requested to send letters to the adjacent property owners to see if they had any objections. Since none of us have heard any objections I feel it is only fair that we should be allowed to proceed. Since considerable time has been lost, I would like to respectfully request that it be placed before the city council at the earliest possible date in order that we may complete the project in a timely manner for the benefit of our guests and the community. I would appreciate any advice on how to best proceed. Thank you. Sincerely, James M.

June 25, 1985 The Honorable Mayor Mary Casler and Councilpersons City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad', CA 92008 Dear Mayor Casler and City Council: As the Carlsbad Inn nears completion, we hope you will agree that the resort is of the quality represented. We thank you for your enthusiastic and unanimous support which made it possible. To date we have paid over $700,000 in fees and once in operation would expect to even further enhance the city's coffers. However, even more important, we look forward to becoming a part of the Village and hope the entire community will enjoy the Carlsbad Inn's promenades, patios, outdoor cafe's, courtyard, plazas, gardens and many services. We hope the Inn will be a part of the Village in which the citizens can meet friends and enjoy the ambiance of their coast and unique village. One element that divides the Village and detracts from the full enjoyment of the Village character is Highway 101. As such, we respectfully request the city give a high priority to improvements of Highway 101 that would bring it in line with the quality and the character of the community. We believe the entire village would be enhanced by such improvements. For example, daily, thousands of cars pass through Carlsbad on Highway 101 and never realize that the "Village of Carlsbad" exists. I have talked to dozens of people that have been delighted when they find out about the many fine shops and restaurants in the village. The reason many vacationers don't know about the village is because Carlsbad Boulevard is just a highway, a wide strip of block pavement with no appeal or indication that there is a charming village just a few blocks away. 550 Via de la VaUe • Post Office Box 1210 • Del Mar, CaHfomia 92014 • 619-755-6666 -2- Because of the Carlsbad Inn's quality and dominant location on Highway 101 we will have no problem attracting clientle, but we would prefer to become more a part of the whole Village than be divided from it by the highway. We would hope the community would enjoy the use of our facilities just as we would hope our guests would enjoy the many fine shops and facilities in the Village. Currently, however, the highway is a detriment to the village atmosphere and the interplay between amenities of the Inn and the Village. We believe that the City of Carlsbad could make a strong statement about the village character and quality of the community by improving the unattractive intersection of Highway 101 and Elm Avenue. We believe the area can be significantly improved by the addition of pavers at the crosswalks and improved landscaping at the four corners. We believe that a landscaped median strip in the center of the highway is imperative to that statement of quality and the statement that this is the "Village of Carlsbad". We believe the village character would be even further enhanced by the addition of attractive ornate lighting fixtures in the median or at the street corners which could create a unique and attractive entrance to the Village of Carlsbad so that the thousands of people who now just pass through would know—this is the Village of Carlsbad and it is special I We had hoped that these improvements would have been completed concurrently with the completion of the Twin Inns and the Carlsbad Inn but somehow the plan has fal len by the wayside. We, therefore, respectfully request the city council reconsider making these improvements a high priority and establish a date for their completion. Sincerely, James M. Watkins President JMW:bk RESORTS International, Inc. June 6, 1985 T. Brad Therrien Principal Civil Engineer City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Dear Brad: Thank you for helping to clarify the understanding regarding responsibility for costs of the median in front of our Carlsbad Inn project on Carlsbad Boulevard. We also would like to offer a clarification of our own understanding on this subject. We have agreed to be responsible for 50% of the costs of design and installation of the median. As you know we had intended to actually complete the median along with our own offsite improvements, which will not be possible because the required redesign has not yet been finalized. By the time your side of the street can be improved, our offsite work will be conpleted and therefore it would appear to us more feasible to have you install the median along with your work on the easterly half of the roadway. We, of course, would still be responsible for 50% of the costs of the median. I would appreciate your thoughts on the above, any questions. Please call if you have Sincerely, CVffiLSRAD INN., LTD.

I would like to make one clarification to avoid the possibility of any future misunderstanding. Namely, that as you indicated under Item 1 of your letter, you will not be required to install the median in Carlsbad Boulevard until design has been completed for the easterly half of the roadway. At that time, you will complete the installation of the median as is required of your project. Sincerely, T. BRAD THERRIEN Principal Civil Engineer TBIrcle RESORTS International, Inc. March 5, 1985 City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California 92008 Gentlemen: Re: Carlsbad Inn Beach Club With this letter we are enclosing completed application, required documents and applicable fees for the Carlsbad Inn Beach Club, a privately owned and operated recreation and storage facility for the exclusive use of owners and guests of the Clarlsbad Inn Beach and Tennis Resort. From a design standpoint, the improvements have been planned to emulate the beauty and charm of the resort.,.that of an early European, old world cottage and grounds featuring an entry gate with carriage lights, balustrade railings, vine covered trellises, french window panes, woods, plaster, etc. Physical and visual separations between properties have been addressed with our neighbors to assure privacy and overall compatibility. The concept that you see here incorporates not only the elements we feel are necessary to best serve our clientele's needs while using the beach during their stay at the resort; but also will go a long way to reduce the impact a 198-room resort would otherwise create on our neightborhood beach. The current design and detail also represents key features which were determined important during recent discussions with City and Coastal Commission staffs as well as neighboring property owners. Here we would like to address the findings necessary for the City to approve our proposed conditional use plan, 1) The proposed use is both necessary and desirable for the development of our beachfront neighborhood because it will better provide for the increased use and enjoyment of the beach by the owners and guests of the 198-room Carlsbad Inn Beach and Tennis Resort. The spaces planned in the proposed facility will offer an attractive and inviting atmosphere for our guests, creating a very pleasant alternative for their use during their stay. The management guidelines we are proposing (see environmental impact assessment) would assure harmonious relationship between the existing and proposed uses and, in fact, would actually improve the security and maintenance of the general area. Continued 550 Via de la Valle • Post Office Box 1210 • Del Mar, Califomia 92014 • 619-755-6666 City of Carlsbad 5 March 1985 Page 2 2) The proposed decking, landscape and enclosure improvements have been . designed to accommodate the size and shape of the site and are consistent with those on neighboring properties. 3) Yards, setbacks, walls, fences, landscaping and other features have been planned and designed to accommodate permitted uses. 4) Since use of the proposed facility will be by owners and guests of the resort, virtually 100% of the traffic will be pedestrian thereby negating any additional impact on the street system. In conclusion, we wish to acknowledge the contributions made in planning this facility by all concerned...neighboring property owners. City and Coastal (Penmission staffs as well as our engineering, architectural and design consultants. We are confident that the proposed Carlsbad Inn Beach Club very nicely meets the needs of our owners, guests and community.

Box 1210 Del Mar, CA. 92014 Attn: Judy Carroll Dear Ms, Carroll: The Carlsbad Inn, a mixed use resort complex located in Carlsbad's Redevelopment Area requires the following discretionary approvals from the City and Agency: 1) Redevelopment Permit 2) Conditional Use Permit 3) Tentative Tract Map 4) Condominium Permit These final approvals were granted by the Redevelopment Commission and City Council at their meeting of April 17, 1984. The conditions set forth in Resolution 7577 of the City Council and Resolution 037 of the Redevelopment Commission represent the City's requirements for issuance of building permits. Compliance with these conditions will result in perfunctory issuance of building permits. No further discretionary actions are required for this project.

Essentially, the two methods we have considered to facilitate the earliest start on both the hotel and parking garage would be 1) to cut and shore the slope adjacent to the hotel pad, or 2) to over- excavate, build and backfill the eastern retaining wall of the parking garage along the hotel pad with the necessary supporting structure. After looking at the time and cost implications of both alternatives, we have decided to follow the second scenario and, therefore, ask your assistance in positioning our plans in the check process to allow us to meet our start date of July 18 on the parking garage. As you may be aware, these drawings have been in a progressive plan check process since May 7 and the final set for corrections was submitted July 2. If that date would be difficult to meet for the entire parking garage perrait, we ask that we be allowed to pull the permit for the wall first. Ray Flores, our structural engineering consultant, is available to discuss this methodology and to produce any separate caicuiations that may be required. Marty, we are certainly grateful for the cooperation from your department during this fast track scheduling process, especially in view of the heavy work load the City is handling. We feel that our own cooperation with the City's staff and officials has enabled us to co-create the best vacation resort along the north coast. And, we are pleased to be a part of Carlsbad's Village Redeveiopment Area knowing that the development of The Carlsbad Inn will produce significant revenues for its continued prosperity.

As a result of these reviews and inspections, we would like to report the following Findings and Recommendations to the Design Review Board and Planning Commission: Finding 1: The proposed design is generally sensitive to the appropriate scale and character desired in the Village Redevelopment Area. The proposed Project, with some modifications, will be an asset to the Village and the City of Carlsbad. Winners Circle Resorts ("Developer") appears to be genuinely interested in working with our community to create a unique, high-quality Project, and we applaud them for that concern. Recommendation 1: The City should continue to work with the Developer to ensure realization of a Project which incorporates our recommendations below, is likely to be successful for the Developer, and is of long-lasting benefit to the community. Finding 2: The drawings presented for our review were not only preliminary, but apparently inaccurate with respect to the currently proposed massing of the buildings, and with respect to the probable utilization of the Cohn House. Design Review Board March 27, 1984 Page Two Recommendation 2: The Developer should be directed to prepare schematic drawings for public review and comment which are essentially accurate in their portrayal of tbe proposed project, particularly with respect to the character, location and massing of all new buildings, and with respect to the intended restoration or disposition of the Cohn House. Action on the Project by the Design Review Board and Planning Commission should be deferred until such time as accurate drawings have been prepared and public input received. Finding 3: Designed in 1931 by prominent La Jolla architect George S. Walker, the Cohn House represents an Important landmark in the development of Carlsbad, and an integral and important part of Carlsbad's historic district along Carlsbad Boulevard. Its significance to the Village is amplified by its location at the conspicuous corner of Carlsbad Boulevard and Elm Avenue. Recommendation 3: The Developer and the City should make every effort to attempt to devise an economic scheme which would preserve and enhance the original character of the Cohn House, together with its significant landscaping. With the City's cooperation, there are many economic incentives available to the Developer, at no or low cost to the .City, which could improve the economics of the entire project, while preserving the historic Cohn House. If necessary for the success of tbe project, utilization of these incentives should be explored. Finding 4; The Cohn House appears to be structurally sound (although this should be confirmed by a complete building survey), functionally useful, and reasonably placed on the site to allow economic development of the entire site. This site potential was preliminarily demonstrated in the Developer's early drawings of the Project. Recommendation 4: The City should encourage the Developer to include the historic Cohn House in an architecturally compatible (although not necessarily architecturally similar) setting. The Project, as planned, includes three distinct elements: Time-share units, a hotel, and restaurant/commercial space. The Cohn House is a reasonable focus for the restaurant/commercial portion of the Project. Its original style, if sensitively related to the other elements of the project in scale, use, and circulation, would be complementary to, even if not stylistically like, the rest of the Project. If, after reasonable efforts, the reuse of the Cohn House proves to be Infeasible, the City and Developer should investigate the possibility of relocating the building offsite, perhaps even for return to use as a private residence. It is a sturdy, wood-frammed building, and can be moved. Design Review Board March 27, 1984 Page Three Although the above recommendations will result in the project not being approved at this week's meeting, we feel this delay is largely due to the unavailability of good schematic drawings for timely input. We recognize the cost of delay in real estate development projects, as well as we recognize the subtler costs of unthoughtful development. These recommendations are made in order to help the Developer and the City ensure that the Carlsbad Inn project is completed on-time, on-budget, and sensitively designed at this important and historically significant corner in our Village.

Re: Clarlsbad Inn We are submitting this letter in response to Staff Recorrmendations and Conditions formulated for our Carlsbad Inn project proposed for the property located at Elm and Clarlsbad Boulevards. Attached are eighteen copies of our Marketing and Management Plans you have requested. With regard to contingency planning, in the event our timeshare marketing is unsuccessful we would envision pursuing the follcwing plans in order: A) Operate the whole business as a 198-unit resort hotel. Parking requirements would remain one space per unit — no change in count of spaces. B) Convert the 132 resort units to 57 whole condominiums by the following method: two adjoining one bedroom units would be combined to produce one two- bedroom unit converting 78 into 39 condos; three adjoin- ing one-bedroom units would be combined to produce one two-bedroom unit converting 36 into 12 condos; and two adjoining two-bedroom units plus an adjoining one- bedroom unit would be combined to produce one three- bedrocm unit converting 18 into 6 condos. Parking requirements for this configuration would be as follows: Ctondos = 2 spaces for each of the 57 units 114 Guests = 5 spaces for first 10 units 5 1 space for each 4 units thereafter 12 Total Spaces Required 131 TTie drawings which illustrate the floor plan conversions will follow before Friday afternoon. 550 Via dc la VaHc • Post Office Box 1210 • Del Mar, Cahfornia 92014 • 619-481-5311 or 619-276-2638 Paul Klukas City of Carlsbad 21 March, 1984 Concerning the restaurant planning, we are continuing discussions with the current operator and are not at a point to finalize the direction for this building. The principals involved are interested in achieving a plan that will best serve the interests of the resort as well as the restaurant operation. To allow ourselves maxirnum flexibility in planning, we have designed the lot to permit us to either retain and remodel the existing structure or to build a new facility. A remodel would predominantly affect the exterior: adding a highly pitched cedar shingle roof and architectural detailing of color and materials to match the other newer structures in the compound and we would probably enclose it with decorative walls of fieldstone and plaster again matching those used elsewhere. To accomodate the re-design of the restaurant lot, the parking garage plan was revised to avoid an overlap of the property line. Only the storage space layout was affected and we will have the copies of the revised plan to you before your Friday deadline. Many of our discussions with Staff have centered around our need for the City to officially make their commitment to construct the necessary pimp station which will assure sewer availability to our project. We understand that the facility has been budgeted, but that design has not begun pending clear direction from the City Council. In order for us to proceed with our project, we will require this cornni tment frcm the City Council at our April 17 hearing — or before. Please understand that we are not opposing the condition as stated in your reeonmendation, but that we have proceeded on Staff's assurance that the City does indeed intend to build the station and that we must now require an official ccnmitment to that end. We will be addressing the matter of park-in-lieu fees and public facilities assessment fees at the April 17 hearing with the City Council. We believe we can demonstrate several points which illustrate the relative burden for fees to be excessive in the case of these proposed uses. We must ask that the engineering department's request for a 50' dedication along Ocean Street be waived by the Design Review Board and Planning Ccmnission. The existing property line which falls on a 45' R-O-W and the proposed innprovements we have submitted conform to existing conditions Paul Klukas City of Carlsbad 21 March, 1984 developed to the north and south of our project which will not change. Additionally, locating the wall and ten feet of landscape area behind the sidewalk allows us to soften the inpact of the parking garage and residential structures. Additionally, we ask that the City share the cost of a full median along Carlsbad Boulevard in front of our project. Such an inprovement will certainly be a benefit to the businesses across the street which are fully developed as well as the City. We hope the median, vliich has not yet been designed, will be attractively landscaped and maintained. With regard to the signal modification requirement, the the inprovement plans have not yet been designed so neither we nor the City know what this will involve. However, we do agree to absorb the cost of physically re-locating the signal if necessary and understand that any modifications will not be extensive in nature.

Judi C^arroll, Director of Development March 19, 1984 84-045 S 500 TO: CITY MANAGER FROM: Director, Utilities & Maintenance SEWER CAPACITY; ROYAL PALMS You asked me to provide some information to you relative to the Royal Palms project. I do not believe the project will cause a problem in line capacity or at the Home Plant lift station. However, it is difficult to assess what, if any, problems exist or possible solutions as no utility planning for the project has been done. I expect Engineering has indicated that there "may be a problem" in order to prompt them into getting some of the utility planning done. Additionally, the site is such that it probably could be sewered from at least two and, possibly, three directions — again, the site development scheme would be critical. To be more specific: The site most likely would sewer to the north in the Ocean Street line. This line was paralleled from Oak across Beech and thence to the Home Plant lift station in 1978. That project took care of ultimate popula- tion for the drainage area. The Home Plant lift station is over 20 years old and is flowing at about 400,000 gallons/day — its capacity is 1.2 MGD. The critical problem here is the age of the plant. We're having reliability problems, and, the wet well capacity — it will over- flow in 20 minutes in the event of an outage. We have a two hour retain- ing basin built two years ago to mitigate spills into the lagoon, I have the replacement station in the CIP for design in 1984 and construction in 1985. This schedule can be accelerated and funds are available. Larry Willey is in the process of developing a ^FP for the station design. So, sewering to the north is not critical and the flows could be accommodated now. The site could sewer to the east, directly into the Vista trunk where it crosses Elm at the railroad. This would require a relatively deep trench but might be reasonable. 1 City Manager March 19, 1984 Page 2 The site could sewer south along Carlsbad Boulevard but would require more off site construction. This is the least likely way because of cost. In summary, I see no problem in providing service, however, we should have more complete plans than they have provided us to date.

We thank you for the cooperation and courtesy extended to us by your staff. Our examination of your records disclosed a misunderstanding by your staff concerning the classification of your tenants as non-transient when in fact their stay at your facility was less than 30 days. Paragraph 7 of Section 3.12.020 of the City of Carlsbad ordinance states: "Transient" means any person who exercises occupancy or is entitled to occupancy by reason of concession, permit, rights of access, license or other agreement for a period of thirty consecutive calendar days or less, counting portions of calendar days as full days. Any such person so occupying space in a hotel shall be deemed a transient until the period of thirty days has expired unless there is an agreement in writing between the operator and the occupant providing for a longer period of occupancy. Please advise your staff of this re- quirement in order that compliance with the City Ordinance be implemented.
