JackGorceman c 3766 Saddle Drive ciiy Manager Carlsbad, CA 92008 C'ty Attorney City, Clerk December 30, 2001 (FAXED 12/31/01 at V.UU am to the Planning Department) The Honorable "Bud" Lewis, Mayor City of Carlsbad 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA Re: CALAVARA HILLS PHASE II/BRIDGE AND THOROUGHFARE DISTRICT #4- CASE FILE: EIR 98-02/GPA 99-03/MP 150(H)/LFMP 87-07(A)ZC 01-01/CT 00- 02/HDP 00-02 Dear Mayor Lewis: I am writing as a resident of the City of Carlsbad and Calavera Hills Village T and whose property will be directly affected by proposed Village U, to be located south of our residence. I am deeply concerned about the impacts of Village U, as proposed for the following reasons: The existing/adopted Calavera Hills Master Plan calls for the area identified as Village U to be Residential Low-Medium Density (RLM) which allows 0 to 4 dwelling units per acre. This density is the same as our residential property/neighborhood located within 500 feet of proposed Village U. However, the current proposal for Village U calls for an increase in allowable residential density of almost four fold, from single-family to multi- family. We purchased our residence with the knowledge that the property in question (Village U) was approved for single-family residential. Allowing Residential Medium-High Density (RMH) development on the site identified as Village U will most certainly cause a substantial impact on our private residence relative to aesthetic quality. This fact is recognized in the Final EIR, page 65, "However the existing aesthetic amenities currently provided by the undeveloped southern villages (Villages U, Y, W, and X), in conjunction with the existing off-site agricultural setting to the south and east would be substantially altered by the proposed grading and residential development of the southern villages. The landform alteration/aesthetic impact from both within Calavera Hills and off-site areas from the development of the southern villages would be considered a significant visual quality impact." The Final EIR proposes no mitigation in an effort to reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Letter to The Honorable Bud" Lewis, Mayor December 30, 2001 Page 2 of 2 Another impact of the proposed multi-family development of Village U on our property is noise. The draft final EIR does not evaluate the impact on the noise receptor to the north, our residence and southern portion of the existing neighborhood of Village T. There is a canyon and open space of less than 500 feet separating our residence from Village U. The pad elevations between our residence and Village U differ by only about 50 feet. Also, the proposed multi-family development of Village U would be located on the most prominent ridge in Phase II of Calavera Hills. Sound travels quickly and easily under these conditions, as I have personally observed. There is no assurance in the Final EIR that the proposed development will not raise interior noise levels for our residence above the City's interior standard of 45 CNEL (with the windows open). In an effort to provide for residential development that is more compatible with the existing residential development to the north of Village U, and to reduce noise and headlight glare from automobiles, I respectfully request that the City Council and Planning Commission consider adding the following conditions to the certification of the Final EIR for the development proposal referenced above: 1) Any structures located in Village U shall be limited to a height of two stories or 35 feet. 2) Opaque screening no less than six feet in height shall be constructed along the top of the north facing slope of Village U. Any dwelling units that would need to be reallocated due to the height restriction could, most appropriately, be transferred to Village E1, the proposed multi-family residential site at College Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive. On a related matter, I do not recall receiving notice of availability of the Draft EIR for public review. Please have staff provide me with a complete mailing list used in satisfying this requirement under CEQA. I am requesting that this letter become part of the public record at the Planning Commission public hearing on January 2, 2002 and the City Council public hearing on January 15, 2002. Thank you for your consideration.

I have included notes on page 24 with regard to future residential development from latest draft Zone 17 submittal. The LFMP for Zone 7 should be revised accordingly. Sewer and Water Sections Attached is a copy of suggested text revisions prepared by Bill Plummer. The LFMP should incorporate the comments and be revised accordingly. Circulation • The last sentence of the circulation condition should be revised to identify a limit of 250 units that can receive certificates of occupancy prior to the completion of the College/Cannon connection. A definite number of dwelling units would be easier to monitor. With the inclusion of the above-recommended revisions, there is no need to review another draft LFMP. The Engineering Department can support the LFMP and recommends forwarding the document to the Planning Commission for consideration. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact me at (760) 602-2738. Deputy City Engineer Hauser Senior Engineer Carrie Loya-Smalley Senior Planner Eric Munoz Village S to the District, which will allow the school district to build the facilities necessary to ensure satisfaction of the performance standard. As a result, CUSD has agreed to provide a will-serve letter for 702 units of Zone 7 residential development. Due to the pending rezone to residential of Village E-l, the developer of Village E-l shall annex the property into CFD No. 3, or shall agree to an alternative mitigation to school facilities impacts as approved by CUSD, prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Village E-l.

Any^watef rgtrlamation facilities necessary to accommodate the approved development must be guaranteed prior to the recordation of the applicable final map, issuance of grading permit or building permit, whichever occurs first for any future project in Zone 7. C. The future development in Zone 7 does not require any 'water facilities to be constructed outside the boundaries of Zone 7. It may be the Gity's desire to construct all or portions of the offsite facilities shown in Exhibit Y, and discussed above. If the G&y determirgp that these improvements are d/sirable, they will be financed through a Gtiy-oeveloper reimbursement agreement. L~crr?«/& L CHANGES AFFECTING FACILITY DEMAND Changes that have occurred in the intervening years since the 1989 document that affect facility demand and supply fall into the following categories: 1. New Population Generation Rate Adopted census figures for the City of Carlsbad indicate that the population generation rate has decreased very slightly from 2.471, the figure utilized in the 1989 analysis, to 2.3178 persons per dwelling unit. This revised multiplier will result in a decrease in demand for all public facility analyses which performance standards are based on population, including city administrative, library, and park facilities. 2. Land Use Changes As mentioned, the proposed land use pattern and distribution of residential units within a portion of Zone 7 (Calavera Hills Phase IT) is different from that analyzed in the 1989 LFMP. While these revised land uses do not result in a significant increase or decrease in facility requirements (except traffic generation, which decreases significantly due to the elimination of commercial use), the distribution of development intensity has been modified, which may result in some modified ZONE 7 LFMP 1 4 AMENDMENT NO. I 5/29/01 demand for localized infrastructure. Specific detailed analysis of this relationship between demand and supply relative to each addressed facility is the fundamental focus of this Amendment analysis. The new proposed buildout projection for Zone 7 is demonstrated in the Buildout Assumptions (Chapter II) section of this LFMP Amendment. 3. Revised Zone 7 Development Phasing Schedule Development, particularly residential, within Zone 7 and Citywide has occurred more slowly than assumed in the original LFMP documents, and indeed has been delayed significantly within Zone 7. The development phasing projected in the adopted 1989 LFMP assumed buildout within the zone would occur in the year 1997. The updated Phasing Schedule is demonstrated in Chapter n of this report, which shows buildout for Calavera Hills to be complete in 2004. This development phasing delay is primarily a result of economic conditions, along with the gnatcatcher listing and the significant infrastructure requirements of Zone 7. Since facility requirements in the 1989 LFMP were based on an aggressive and unrealized residential phasing schedule, some facilities identified in that plan are no longer needed to serve Zone 7 on the schedule originally projected. Where relevant, the potential impact of slower development rates is discussed for each of the facilities addressed in this Amendment. J. CHANGES AFFECTING FACILITY SUPPLY Several changes in facility supply and City policy have occurred since 1989 which impact the Zone 7 analysis. 1. Community Facilities District No. 1 Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 1 was formed and adopted in June of 1991. The district will fund the approximately $109 million required for a list of (primarily citywide) facilities. Specifically, the following projects are included in and therefore financially guaranteed by CFD No. 1. • City Administration Facilities - Construction of a new City Hall complex, and the addition of improvements to the Safety Center. • Library Facilities - Construction of a new library in the south part of Carlsbad, along with a major addition to the existing library in the northwest quadrant. • Park Facilities - Park improvements for Veterans' Memorial Park. • Street improvements to Faraday Road, Cannon Road and other region-serving roadways within the City. • Bridge and overpass improvements for 1-5 and Palomar Airport Road, Poinsetria Lane and La Costa Avenue. The adopted 1989 LFMP attributed the funding of these required facilities through Public Facilities Fees (PFF) or Traffic Impact Fees (lib). This amendment ZONE 7 LFMP 1 5 AMENDMENT NO. / 5/29/01 demonstrates funding the facilities through the CFD No. 1 District, which is now the ultimate funding mechanism. 2. Revised Drainage Master Plan and Construction of Facilities In March, 1994, the Carlsbad City Council adopted the Master Drainage and Storm Water Quality Management Plan. This new Master Plan replaced the 1980 Drainage Master Plan which was in effect at the time of Zone 7 LFMP approval. Adoption of this new federally-mandated plan has resulted in a fundamental shift in the focus of drainage control from a purely flood control program to a combination flood control/water quality control approach. The new approach is mandated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The revised Master Drainage Plan contains new facility requirements and fee recommendations_fo|\Zone^7 which differ from the approved LFMP. 3.Construction of Encina Phase IV The adopted Zone 7 LFMP demonstrated that the Fj\cina Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) Phase IV expansion was necessary in order to provide adequate capacity for projected wastewater treatment. The Phase IV expansion has been completed. The WPCF now provides a capacity of 9.24 million gallons per day (MGD)_service to the City of Carlsbadr — 4. Adoption of New Potable Water Master Plan and Facilities During the period between adoption of the Zone 7 LFMP and the present, the Costa Real Municipal Water District Master Plan for Public Water Systems was superseded by The Water Master Plan CMWD Project No. 89-105 dated June 29, 1990 and revised as the Water Master Plan, dated October, 1997. The impact of these changes on Zone 7 is discussed in the Water Distribution System section of the Updated Localized Facilities analysis in Chapter IV of this Zone 7 Local Facilities Management Plan Amendment. In 1993, the Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD) decided that additional funding was needed to provide adequate school facilities through buildout of the District. Therefore, as of December 7, 1993, discretionary development projects are now required to show evidence that school facility impacts have been mitigated. As indicated in Chapter IV of this document, all residential development within Zone 7 will be conditioned to provide the above evidence. In April of 1994, Carlsbad Unified School District formed CFD No. 3 to finance future necessary school facilities. It is anticipated that as properties develop, they will annex into this District. City policy dictates that this action shall be determined to meet the requirement for school mitigation. All of Zone 7, with the exception of Village E-l, has been annexed into CFD No. 3, and a K-8 school site has been purchased by CUSD within Zone 7. ZONE 7 LFMP AMENDMENT NO.

Funding has not been set for dub line , however it is slated for completion in 2003. C. Sewer Service to Zone 7 Sewer service to Zone 7 has included a number of master plan sewer options since the Calavera Hills Master Plan was first approved in 1978. The original plan for sewer service was to have an onsite treatment plant. This plant was constructed in the southwest corner of Zone 7 and was to serve the entire zone. The plant is still in place. The City however, has since elected not to start up tfus plant and to treat all thg, sewage generated by the project at the Encina m^sfafc£ .\uttoffi pTaht t5n aft 'interim basis, the wastewater generated by the existing portion of Zone 7 is being conveyed to Encina through the North Agua Hedionda Interceptor System, discussed ove.V- The current Sewer Master Plan for the City of Carlsbad calls for the undeveloped portions of Zone 7 to be sewered to the future South Agua Hedionda Interceptor System. Portions of this system have been constructed but the SAffi /Mfr station/ftc i becdnlstructed within Zone 8, has not. The li~-tj~ pump station is currently undergoing siting analysis, and environmental review^nd^CoastalCommission compliance analysis. This pume^station and the ^AHI %&& may or may not be completed in its permanent form prior to the need for additional Zone 7 development. The City of Carlsbad has recently monitored the wastewater flows through the NAHI teae to determine its current remaining capacity. The results conclude that the NAHI limiting point is the Foxes Landing Lift Station, which, upon completion of its recent upgrade - in Summer, 2001, will have a peak flow capacity of 4.32 mgd. Using this information, and assuming 220gpd/EDU and a Sewer Master Plan peaking factor of 2.25, the NAHI «gi- will be able to convey flow from a total of 8,727 EDU (4.32 x 106/(220 x 2.25) = 8,272). During wet weather conditions, the peaking factor may be assumed to be a more conservative 2.5, resulting in a 7,854 EDU total as the maximum number to connect to thio line. -/k A//3//T. The total of the present combined NAHI existing and committed development totals 5,851 EDU, based on field flow measurements. Using this information, the remaining number of sewer connections that can be diverted to NAHI is: ZONE 7 LFMP 7 1 /AMENDMENT NO.

To accomplish this, the City is conducting a re-analysis of the Sewer Benefit Fee to determine whether sufficient funds will be deposited to enable the SAHI Kji^e to be completed. To this end, the Zone 7 developer must agree to pay any fee increase (or decrease) adopted for the Local Sewer Benefit Fee by the City Council prior to payment of that fee.

No distribution line changes to the water facility analysis and conclusions of the 1989 Zone 7 LFMP will be necessary as a result of the proposed land use redistribution which is generating this LFMP Amendment. The adopted Zone 7 LFMP indicates that, with the mitigation identified, Water Facilities would meet the adopted performance standard through buildout of Zone 7. On-site water improvements will be somewhat different than originally planned, primarily due to the inclusion of the habitat corridor through the center of the zone. On-site water facility improvements are projected as follows: 3. MITIGATION The construction of regional water facilities will be funded by CMWD. Contribution to these facilities is made through developer payment of Water Fees. Local on-site facilities will be funded by developers in conjunction with development.

Council ii.anager /Utorney Clerk Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, As a citizen of Carlsbad (Calaavera Hills community) I would like to voice my ' - • - *— opinion in opposition to the extension of Cannon Road from College to Oceanside. I was at the planning commission meeting and have recently spoken with Eric Munoz (a very knowledgeable and friendly asset to the asset) and I understand the possible traffic implications of not building the extension. However, those are estimates based on theoretical population density at buildout sometime in the future. The impact on the habitat and quality of life and the city coffers I feel far outweighs the theoretical traffic problems. And, if they should occur, I personally will be feel the tradeoff of inconvenience versus maintaining the natural beauty of the area will be well worth it. Finally, if these traffice problems do become unbearable, at that time you can reassess the extensions, or other options, that may be available. So, in summation, I urge you to eliminate reach 4, the connection of cannon from college to Oceanside, from the city plans. Thank You.

In an attempt to reach a compromise over the extension of Cannon Rd Reach 4 between El Camino Real and the city limits with Oceanside the Commission removed most of the Cannon Rd extension from the EIR for the related project. They left in the first 1 ,200 feet- ostensibly to serve the proposed new high school. There are major issues to consider before moving forward with an $ 80 million high school. Will this divide the city racially and economically - with an old high school serving primarily poor and minority students? Are there better options to keep a single high school - such as using the site at Valley for grades 9 and 10, and the existing high school for 1 1 and 12? Let's not waste any more taxpayer money on this road- until we know there is a reason to build it.

I'm including a couple of items that were not specifically addressed at the planning commission, if those items should come up. If not, I'd like my request to be forwarded as appropriate to commissions for future consideration. I bought my home in Carlsbad Calaveras (Capistrano) two years ago on the basis of the kid-friendly feeling, the beauty of the city and its open spaces, and the attraction of the facilities for my young family, including the top ranked schools. I did a lot of homework on the development, including visiting the Planning Department and reviewing the HMP, and the reputation of the developer, McMillan. I've since been informally following the open space planning process with a special interest in the Calaveras Preserve area. My wife and I are more thankful each day for the decision we made to live here. Carlsbad is going a great job and McMillan is demonstrating what great partnership and commitment is all about from the developer side. As to the open space issues, in my opinion there have been no surprises, and I see only win-win compromises so far among all the many stakeholders in the process. I'd like to only ask that the Council continue to be careful listening to the community, and be as conservative with the safety of the area residents as possible. Specifically, 1 . Please do not delay the EIR or development of the Phase II housing, and do expedite the College extension as quickly as possible. 2. Please do NOT open the College barriers to Oceanside until this extension is completed. This should remain closed to protect our school children until the College and Cannon reaches go all the way through to I-5. 3. Please close the MiraMonte drive connection to Oceanside permanently. This street is not mentioned in the EIR or references to traffic studies that I have viewed, either interim or future, even though only temporary barriers exist there today. The experience with through traffic during the short time this was open during development indicates that this is a very dangerous connection, in that it funnels regional traffic through residential streets that are not designed for the volume or the high speeds of the through-commuters. This connection passes a school and three mini-parks. I've personally seen two kid-car near-misses in the Tamarack-Saddle intersection due to the already too high speed this "wide street on a hill" encourages. When College opens there will be no practical reason to open MiraMonte, and this "short cut" will only endanger children. 4. Please be very responsive to the community on traffic safety, and err on conservative side, if needed. While I understand the need for College to connect communities, I personally believe the proposed traffic speed limits and zone enforcement (on the section of Carlsbad Village Drive to College to Oceanside area) is grossly inadequate as it stands now. With a very active community center on one side and a school and regional Preserve on the other, you already have constant pedestrian (children) traffic, and when Phase 2 is built out, this will double or triple from the multi-sue and high-density housing. fMarilyn Strong - Input for Calaveras El° at Jan 15 council meeting ~Page 2 This road therefore cannot be envisioned or zoned as another "El Camino Real" with speed limits of 50MPH and practical enforcement of violations above 60MPH. I request that the City use lower speed limits, traffic lights, and as much proactive enforcement as possible to maximize the safety to the school children on this soon to be busy street. Lets not have a tragedy occur before the City make this decision. 5. Support strong Police presence and integration of the Calaveras Preserve into regional hiking and biking plans. The Carlsbad Police Department, City Water Department, and The Environmental Trust have done a super job cleaning up and managing the safety of this beautiful natural resource. This is a diamond in the rough that needs to be polished further by actively planning for inclusion in the Carlsbad hiking/biking trail project. Keep giving this area the attention it needs. warm regards, Kevin Skjei 760-729-6322 II AGENDA ITEM # GsisbadGtyCbuncil,,^-T- , n , r. Mavn,.

I am writing you to ask to postpone making a decision on the approval or disapproval of the Calavera Hills n development until your first meeting of February. I know that the public hearing on the IS* cannot postponed, but if you could please just delay your decision, this would allow the residents of the Calavera Hills I development more time to submit a petition to you that outlines our concerns with this project. I apologize that I have to ask you for this delay. As a community, I admit that we should be better prepared, however, I have found that many residents have misinformed about the effect the Calavera Hills H project would have to our community until very recently. Like many others, when I moved here I was aware that College Blvd would eventually be built as pan of Calavera Hills H What many of us were not aware of was the volume and speed of traffic that would travel on this road. The developers of our projects advertised this road to buyers as a means of convenience to reach the 78 freeway. When my family called city staff as part of our research on this two years ago, we were mistakenly given a rough traffic volume estimate in the low to mid 20,000's, which is far less than is now currently estimated. The bottom line is we knew it may be somewhat busy, but trusted that the city had designed the road with the safely of its residents in mind. As I have learned from attending the recent planning commission meetings and from talking with city staff, the volume and speed of traffic predicted is far greater than expected by my neighbors and myself. Due to safety concerns, these recent findings are just not tolerable. Due to this late discovery and the difficult schedules of a middle-class commuter centric community, we are not optimistic that we can educate all of the residents and obrain their signatures before the 15th. We have, so far, obtained signatures from 100% of the residents visited, but it will take us some time to reach them all in this time. We hope that a postponement of a decision by three weeks may give us that time, so you can take into consideration the true feelings of your Carlsbad residents. The following bulleted items summarize the points of concern that the Calavera Hills I community has. I hope to be able to hand you a petition that illustrates the support of these points shortly. If you would like to contact me prior to the council meeting, you can call me at (949) 255 - 3339 or email me at tgullotta@access36Q.com. • Increased Noise - Additional Noise abatement on College Blvd. In Calavera Hills Phase! • High Speed Avenue of Approach - The Cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, The Carlsbad Unified School District, McMillin and representatives of Calavera Hills Phase I 01/1B/2002 10:03 ya^DiJl^a •* yj. ro^ ct • Page. 2 January 10.2002 (excluding HOA delegates and board members) will meet to develop and institute a Traffic Circulation Plan consistent with the safety needs of the community (i.e., safe speed limits, safety of school children, and proper traffic light placement and configuration).

Sincerely, TonyGul To: Carlsbad City Council Members Re: URGENT - Calavera Hills Phase II (Village H) Date: January 12, 2002 I am writing to support the idea that Village H be left as is. I understand that Village H is going to be used to fulfill the Calavera Hills project requirement for a "community facility". I don't know what the city's definition of a community facility is. The name implies a facility that benefits the surrounding community, one that gives a sense of cohesiveness to a growing development. Village H already accomplishes this and has done so for many years. It survives as a place to take a quiet walk alone or with ones companions (be they human or animal). It's a place ventured by children who don't want to worry about on coming traffic. It's a place that entices people of all ages to come walk its eucalyptus lined paths. Village H is a place where cement is non-existent. In other words, a very cherished reprieve from what we are surrounded by. I hope this picture matches what the city defines as a "community facility". It would be a severe injustice to this community if Village H were to be altered in any way. I urge the city council to please take this into consideration when making its decision this coming Wednesday.

It has come to my attention that the "Village H" beautiful canyon area where we jog, walk our kids & dogs is being considered for development by City Council. This letter is to express my disapproval of ANY changes to this wonderful site. Specifically, council's consideration of a Community Center or Daycare would be a horrendous mistake. Firstly, such construction totally ignores the fact that the city's official plan, as I understand it, never considered this type of commercial development. Secondly, this site is a wild life corridor and construction would forever alter the habitat pattern for coyotes, foxes, owls and other animals. Thirdly, Carlsbad Village Drive is a busy thoroughfare and approval of any community facility ignores the problems of extra traffic plus a curve where cars have gone out of control and off the road several times in the last few years.

From my upstairs home office, I have a full view of the proposed child care site adjacent to Victoria Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive. In the past six months alone, there have been two incidences of cars traveling Eastbound on Carlsbad Village Drive and going over and down the embankment, landing in the area of planned development. I would estimate that over the years (I have lived here since 19B4) this has probably happened at least six times.1 Not only have cars ended up on the Village "H" parcel, but numerous accidents have happened at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive. I believe that this is happening because this section of Carlsbad village Drive has not ever been fully improved as designed by McMillin in the mid-80's when we purchased our home. When Westbound cars stop to make a left turn at Victoria Avenue they are rear-ended. Also, cars traveling Eastbound (usually at high speeds)lose control as they make the sweeping left curve just past Victoria Avenue. They end up down the embankment on the Village "H" child care center planning area. It was a danger then, and it is a DANGER NOW!! I just can't tell you how many times I have heard screeching and crashing and have responded to these numerous accidents. It behooves any conscientious planners to fully research all of these accidents and plan accordingly. One would CERTAINLY not plan to build a child care center, let alone any other dwelling, on a parcel with such a history. RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT BUILD OR CONSTRUCT ANYTHING ON THE VILLAGE "H" PARCEL UNLESS AND UNTIL THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN: • Improvement of the street section of Carlsbad Village Drive adjacent to Victoria Avenue to a full width four lane design as originally planned • Construction of a Jc-rail or other constraining device along the frontage of the Village "H" parcel on the Southerly side of Carlsbad Village Drive, Easterly of Victoria Avenue. As a Land Surveyor and Civil Engineer who has enjoyed Carlsbad for many years I am DEEPLY CONCERNED about the potential danger that exists right outside my window. Please take all of this into account when making a decision as to the disposition of the Village "H" parcel. Sincerely, Brian J. Butchko 2763 Victoria Avenue !

Attached was a brief summary of the concerns of myself and many other Calavera Hills I residents. I am writing you today to elaborate on many of those concerns in hopes to give you an understanding of why they exist. Our gerieral view is that the housing development and College road extension southward are all positives. It is the opening of College Blvd northward into Oceanside that has drummed up the most concern. The letter is organized into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the traffic situation that will be the result of the completion of the project. This overview is based on information obtained from Carlsbad city staff. The second section summarizes the concerns of residents. The third section suggests actions to mitigate these concerns by the city and applicant before completing the project at hand. Overview The traffic volume on College Blvd was originally estimated at 39000 cars per day at build- out. With the exclusion of the Cannon Reach 4b segment, this estimate is raised to 45000 cars per day. In the near term (2005), it is estimated that 31000 cars per day will travel College Blvd. It has also been stated that the Calavera Hills area residents will only produce 7500 cars per day at build out. However, it is not expected that many of these residents will travel north to the 78. In fact, city staff has stated that most likely, the volume of traffic traveling north from the Calavera Hills area would not, in itself, warrant the need for the road to be connected to Oceanside. This means that most of the traffic traveling on College will be generated from outside: communities. In addition to typical commuters, because of its perceived time advantage, we can also expect there will be a lot of high-profile vehicle traffic on this road. Although city staffhas stated that reach 4b will still be completed before build-out, it has also been stated that the farther in foe future the project is begun, the more possible it is that federal environmental restrictions can change and prevent the project from ever being done. College Blvd. has been engineered to allow a speed limit of 50MPH. The current plan and expectation of the city's engineering department is that the speed limit will be set at that 50MPH mark. However, as we've foxmd from discussions with the city's traffic enforcement division, it is not the practice of the city's traffic enforcement staff to cite drivers exceeding the speed limit unless they are traveling more than 10MPH over the posted speed limit. The conclusion we can reach from this that the city will tolerate a speed of 60MPH on this road. The only exception to tins speed Limit maybe in the area of the elementary and middle school, which IB adjacent to College. However, instead of lowering the posted speed limit here, only a part-time (approx. 2 hours per day) 25MPH while children are present zone will be : lb • Page 2 January 14,2002 implemented. This would result in the possibility of drivers having to decrease speeds of 60MPH to 25MPH in quick fashion. To put all of this in perspective, it is best to look at a current example of a road with the same traffic characteristics. Unfortunately, there are not too many roads that this comparison can be made to today. Only El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road arc close. To be the most specific, the road segment between El Camino Real and Melrose Dr. on Palomar Airport Rd. will provide the best example. Concerns Traffic Safety - The volume and speed of traffic estimated on this road will be a huge safety risk to the residents and school children in the area. The North County Times reported last week that commuters rushing home or to work caused 66% of all traffic accidents in Carlsbad last year. One of Hie more dangerous intersections today is the Palomar Airport Rd - Melrose intersection, which will be very similar to the intersections developed in our area. Even though the road can be engineered correctly, correct engineering does not preclude accidents because drivers are human and can make mistakes. Since the commuter traveling through the community usually causes the accident, most likely the resident leaving their neighborhood will be the victim. I ask you to envision yourself as a resident here. Would you feel safe with the every day risks outlined above? Children Safety - The elementary and middle school adjacent to College Blvd. will be the destination of several pedestrian school children, many of which will have to cross College Blvd. Although there will be part-time warnings of school children posted, there is stiJJ the human factor of drivers being aware of these part-time warnings and being able to slow from possibly 60MPH to the appropriate 25MPH. Also, since the 25PMH zone will only be part- time, there is great concern for the safety of children who frequent the school during off-peak hours for activities such as sports. Beyond the concerns regarding the school, there is also a near-by community center that these local children now make use of. Today, children and families as a whole can walk to this community center. With this volume and speed of traffic, this will not be an option without considerable risk. Please remember, these are children we're talking about. Once again I ask, if you were a resident, would you feel comfortable with the safety of your children in this environment? Noise - It is obvious that the noise generated by this volume of traffic will be substantial. Although mere have been noise abatement walls placed around portions of the community, there are still portions without protection. The original noise impact report for this area used an average traffic speed of 45MPH. It now appears as though that average speed may be more like 55MPH. From discussions with The author of this noise impact report, this difference in speed may make a "major" difference in the results and a reevaluation may be needed. In summary, the noise abatement in place satisfies code as dictated .from a noise analysis report that was based on inaccurate assumptions. Even with the adherence to code however, it is my opinion that the code itself is very sympathetic to the applicant and not to the resident. Codes like these should be treated as the baseline of work, not the ceiling. 01/14/2002 10:16 949255312S •» 9i76t372fe3=Mbi >-• • Page 3 January 14,2002 Mitigation of Concerns Develop safety mitigation plan - A plan should be developed by the city with the involvement of the community that will outline how the safety of the residents can be maintained with the opening of this road segment. It is understood that there are state mandated regulations that must be adhered to, so it is clear the plan may not be as simple as arbitrarily lowering speed limits. However, I believe there is some flexibility that can be taken advantage of to help keep these speeds in check. There may also be some effectiveness with additional traffic enforcement resources in the area during high traffic volume periods, and possibly more strict enforcement of those posted speeds. Improve noise abatement - The applicant, or city, should address the inadequate noise abatements currently implemented in the community. The current noise abatement implementation is according to code, but is not realistically effective. To address these inadequacies, more landscaping is needed where current walls are in place, and walls need to be constructed where they are missing. These improvements should not seem unreasonable. The current Calavera Hills TI plan includes noise abatement for the residents of Rancho Carlsbad that are -well above and beyond the same city codes that have been so closely followed for our area. We feel that the actions requested to satisfy the residents of Calavera Hills I will be comparatively less difficult and costly than those included for Rancho Carlsbad. Time the opening of College Blvd to Oceanside when needed - Instead of opening the northern segment of College Blvd to Oceanside as soon as the College connection to Cannon is completed to satisfy pressures from neighboring cities, open the segment when Ihe regional traffic circulation plan is more mature. As we've found, the traffic generated by local residents does not require this segment, however we do understand that the regional traffic circulation plan does require it at some point. It is really is just a matter of timing as it appears as though this is the only part of the circulation plan that is moving forward. It is very aggravating to see Oceanside and Vista protest or cancel regional projects like Cannon Reach 4 and the Cannon - 78 segment when they arc the most active in pushing for the College opening to use our community as a highway substitute. There is a definite concern about the uncertainty for the completion of the Melrose segment to Vista and the 15-89 interchange improvements that were supposed to begin by now. With the perceived inertia of all of these projects (and possibility of their elimination), there is that much more risk that by opening up this artery only, the bottlenecks trying to be avoided on the 78 today will just get transferred to our community. To complicate matters, when the 15-78 freeway improvements are being made, since this may possibly degrade the effectiveness of thai interchange, even more traffic will be runneled through College. One last regional improvement that should be made, but is currently not scheduled, is the widening of the El Camino Real - freeway 78 overpass. This current bottleneck just entices commuters to substitute the use of College for El Camino Real, which should be the roadway that is promoted as die chosen thoroughfare instead of College. The action here is to coordinate the opening of this northern segment of College Blvd. with the funding and scheduling of the initiatives to complete Cannon Reach 4 and Melrose Blvd. Also, to postpone the opening of this segment until the 15-78 freeway improvements and widening of the El Camino Real overpass have begun and reached a state that allows them to remain an effective traffic option. 01/14/2002 10:16 949255312S -» 917607205461 January 14.2002 I would like'to thank your for taking your time to read this letter and leave you with this closing statement. Codes and regulations can provide a very good foundation for development of an area, however they often don't take the well being of real people into consideration when applied to real situations. The safety and well being of real people must always take precedlence.

From my upstairs home office, I have a full view of the proposed child care site adjacent to Victoria Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive. In the past six months alone, there have been two incidences of cars traveling Eastbound on Carlsbad Village Drive and going over and down the embankment, landing in the area of planned development. I would estimate that over the years (I have lived here since 1984) this has probably happened at least six times! Not only have cars ended up on the Village "H" parcel, but numerous accidents have happened at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive. I believe that this is happening because this section of Carlsbad Village Drive has not ever been fully improved as designed by McMillin in the mid-80's when we purchased our home. When Westbound cars stop to make a left turn at Victoria Avenue they are rear-ended. Also, cars traveling Eastbound (usually at high speeds)lose control as they make the sweeping left curve just past Victoria Avenue. They end up down the embankment on the Village "H" child care center planning area. It was a danger then, and it is a DANGER NOW!! I just can't tell you how many times I have heard screeching and crashing and have responded to these numerous accidents. It behooves any conscientious planners to fully research all of these accidents and plan accordingly. One would CERTAINLY not plan to build a child care center, let alone any other dwelling, on a parcel with such a history. RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT BUILD OR CONSTRUCT ANYTHING ON THE VILLAGE "H" PARCEL UNLESS AND UNTIL THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN: * Improvement of the street section of Carlsbad Village Drive adjacent to Victoria Avenue to a full width four lane design as originally planned * Construction of a k-rail or other constraining device along the frontage of the Village "H" parcel on the Southerly side of Carlsbad Village Drive, Easterly of Victoria Avenue.

I support the completion of all phases of Cannon Road including the juncture to Oceanside. The completion of this road will significantly reduce the traffic load on I-76, the Carlsbad Business Park and Palomar Airport Road. The local opposition (Ocean Hills Country Club) to the final extension of Cannon Road does not represent the bulk of the !0,000 Ocean Hills residents. There is, in fact, a question as to whether they even represent the bulk of the owners within the Country Club. I was advised that they have never even taken a vote of their owners to determine if they want the Cannon Road extension. In reality, the opposition consists of a handful of sue happy individuals who are opposed to all developments. Any delay in approving the final phase of Cannon Road is more then likely to result in the road never being approved as the environmental rules will probably become even more stringent then those currently in force.

Please do NOT consider placing a day care center, or community center or what have you in that location. I've lived on Haverhill Street since 1984. The area known as Village H is the only place left for us to become sane again. We walk, talk, visit, run, bike, think, dog walk, bird watch, look at butterflies, appreciate nature. Kids swing. We meet our neighbors there... neighbors we didn't even know before. We become a community there. Adding any kind of facility to that comer will change our community for the worse. There already is too much traffic on Victoria. And it moves much too fast. Little kids walking home from Hope Elementary along Carlsbad Village Drive are a few feet from cars that are traveling 50 mph or better. We don't need even more traffic. A day care center would mean coming and going constantly. I know that parents don't always drive so carefully just because they have children. A few years ago, a new family moved in on our street and opened up a day care in the home. Haverhill is one block long...It used to be the quietest street in the tract. Now the cars in the morning and evening are fast and furious. We don't need more of that on a corner that is already dangerous. A Day care or Community Ctr and be placed anywhere...but the animals and birds that live in this area can't be placed anywhere. This is it for them. Where do you expect these creatures to go? Can't you leave them something? Is Carlsbad so in need of more revenue that it has to take this piece of land from these creatures? When you take away the animals and birds, trees and natural growth, you diminish all of our lives. Please leave it as it is. We need it just like it is. Thank you.

To that end we have raised numerous concerns about this project- most recently at the December 19,2001 and January 2, 2002 Planning Commission meetings. (Please review our letter of December 19th and summary of testimony included in your packet.) . We recognize the extensive work by your staff and Planning Commission to address marry of the the concerns that have been raised with this project. They are to be congratulated for then- efforts. The concern with trail access has been addressed and will be worked out through the next phases of community planning. The remaining concerns are all issues that have been raised over the last 10 years as part of the regional planning process documented on the Multiple Habitat Conservation Plan, and in the City of Carlsbad's own Habitat Conservation Plan. These are all serious issues that win impact both this preserve and the quality of life for residents of this area. We urge you to take the time to assure yourselves and the citizen's of Carlsbad that these issues have received thorough review and consideration. These issues are as follows: - extension of Cannon Rd Reach 4 Extending a road through the center of hardline preserve land is a major issue. The recommended solution of dividing the road into two segments in order to do further study of alternative alignments and elevations recognizes the importance of this decision. We would ask that you clarify your intentions by adding conditions that make it clear that the 1,200 foot section of Reach 4a would onry be built if required for access to the new high school she, or for completion of all of Reach 4. Let's all make sure we don't end up with a road that impacts wetlands and core habitat- and doesn't go anywhere. - wildlife corridors College Blvd. creates major barriers to the movement of wildlife in what is supposed to be a major regional wildlife corridor- connecting core habitat at Calavera with core habitat to the north. The current plans do not protect the ability of wildlife to move through this area. Retrofitting College Blvd with an undercrossing will be costly. We believe that there are lower cost alternatives that would address this concern- but they haven't been seriously considered. Marilyn Strong - Village H „- ~.

Existing trails and undeveloped areas are now used daily by adults, children, dogs, and families of our community. The undeveloped state of Village H contributes to the peace and beauty of our community, and providing a place within walking distance where community members gather to enjoy the natural beauty of our city. We consider Village H a vital community resource as it is. It is my understanding that McMillin is willing to consider leaving Village H undeveloped, and would also consider restoring the natural vegetation.on slopes adjacent to the community trails, except for the city's Community Facility Zoning Requirement. Speaking for myself and many other members of the community, I urge the city to remove the Zoning Requirement from Village H. An undeveloped Village H is in the best interest of the community and currently functions well for us. Has the city heard from community members who are demanding a child care facility in Village H? Any restoration of natural vegetation would improve Village H. Any further development would not serve our community better than the current natural wildlife corridor..

The developer got caught in the middle of the city's action to increase this requirement. The 2 acre CF at Village Y is in fact used as a community facility- for dog walking, recreation, and community gathering. The topography in this area allows it to function both for the community, and as a secondary wildlife corridor at the base of the canyoa Reducing or eliminating the requirement for a second CF at Village H would recognize the existing community use of this area, allow the existing wildlife corridor to continue to function, and be fair to the developer by not adding a new requirement in the middle of the project approval process. - wetlands impacts The proposed roadway configuration will impact over 4 acres of existing wetlands. Both the regional and your own plans require that wetlands impacts are to be avoided, and only if avoidance is not practical are the impacts to be minimized and mitigated. We do not believe there has been an adequate evaluation of alternatives that either eliminate or minimize these wetlands impacts. - management of the preserved lands With the Calavera Hills project alone there will now be three management entities each responsible for managing only a portion of the protected open space. This includes TET managing the mitigation area at MT Calavera, the homeowner's association managing other protected open space from Phase I, and probably the Center for Lands Management the balance of the Phase II land. The HMP recognizes the importance of uniform management of preserve lands- with effective monitoring and public accountability. We are all responsible for managing the remaining sensitive habitat in this area- and none of us are doing a very good job. We need to work towards an integrated, effective system of managing hard line preserve land. Thank you for your consideration of these concerns. Your continued efforts at their resolution will result in a better community for the people of this area, and the endangered plants and animals that live here with us.

That condition numbers 31, 38 and 39 imposed by the Planning Commission in Planning Commission Resolution No. 5117 be revised to read as follows: 31. Prior to issuance of the first building permit for the Calavera Hills Phase II project ("Project"), the applicant shall cause Owner to enter into a purchase option agreement with the City of Carlsbad and the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association offering the City the option to purchase, at not more than fair market value, an approximately 5.7 acre parcel of land, to provide a relocation site for facilities that will either be replaced by or have the access severed by the construction of College Boulevard Reach A or Detention Basin BJ(the "Facilities Replacement Area"). The general location of the Facilities Replacement Area is shown on the Rancho Carlsbad Exhibit as the location of the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association facilities, including the community garden, RV parking lot, wash area and waste disposal area. The purchase option agreement shall provide that if the City does not exercise its option to purchase by January 1, 2010, the Rancho Carlsbad Owners' Association may exercise the option and purchase the parcel. The sole consideration for this Option shall be the agreement by Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association to withdraw its opposition to and formally support the Project at the Planning Commission and City Council hearing(s), and any other governmental agency. The "Project" is defined as Calavera Hills Master Plan, Phase II, Bridge and Thoroughfare District No. 4 and Detention Basins Project. The agreement shall also provide that the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association, with agreement of Owner, may process any and all permits and applications with the appropriate governmental agencies required for the implementation of these provisions provided any such permits issued are conditioned upon the transfer of the parcel. Alternately, the owner may elect to process the necessary permits and applications to implement these provisions itself. The agreement shall also provide that if either the Owner or Rancho Carlsbad Owners' Association are denied by any approving governmental agency a requested permit necessary for use of THE LOFTIN FIRM The Honorable Mayor "Bud" Lewis & Esteemed Councilpersons January 15, 2002 Page 3 of4 the 5.7 acre parcel for a community garden, RV parking lot, wash area and waste disposal area, then the purchase option agreement shall automatically terminate.

Any such credit and repayment mechanism shall be implemented prior to or concurrent with the transfer to the City by the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association of the property rights required to install Basin BJ. If the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association and Owner are unable to reach agreement with respect to the terms of the purchase option agreement by May 1, 2002, the Rancho Carlsbad Owners Association and Owner shall enter into binding arbitration to resolve the terms of the agreement, subject to concurrence by the City to the extent the terms impact the City's obligations under the agreement. Such arbitration to be paid for by Owner. The City Manager and City Attorney, or their designees, shall be authorized to negotiate and enter into the purchase option agreement on behalf of the City, provided it complies with the terms of this condition, without further review by the City Council. The actual purchase or acquisition of the property which is the subject of the option agreement will require City Council review and approval. 38. The applicant shall construct a five-foot sound wall atop a three-foot earthen berm to run along the south side of Reach 3 of Cannon Road between El Camino Real and the intersection with College Boulevard (the "Berm").

We recognize and acknowledge that the future construction of College Boulevard Reach A will effectively sever the physical access to the RCMHP amenities currently enjoyed by the residents living within the park. We also recognize and acknowledge that the future construction of Retention Basin BJ will require relocation of all RCMHP amenities located within the area of inundation created by Basin BJ including the RV storage area, sewer disposal site, maintenance facilities and portions of the community garden. City staff will pursue the goal of collaboratively working with the RCMHP owners, the Zone 15 developers and the McMillin Company towards a solution which includes relocation of the RV storage area, sewer disposal site, maintenance facilities and community garden onto the approximately 5.7 acre parcel of land located generally north of the RCMHP property and south of future Cannon Road Reach 3 as shown on the attached Exhibit 1. The relocation of these facilities will include planning and design for such facilities, site preparation, provision of utilities, installation of replacement RCMHP amenities, installation of security fencing, installation of appropriate pedestrian and vehicular access from RCMHP across Calavera Creek and processing of any discretionary actions and agency permits. City staff will also pursue the goal crafting a financial plan for the relocation of said facilities in such a manner as to not require any financial involvement of the RCMHP over and above their current obligation for payment of Local Drainage Area "B" fee and RCMHP's dedication Sue Loftin Letter Page 2 of the needed land or easements required to construct Basin BJ in exchange for the relocation benefits generally outlined in this letter. It is the City's further intention to require establishment an appropriate financing mechanism(s) to spread the costs of the relocation in a fair and equitable manner in accordance with State law and to require construction of the relocated RCMHP amenities, including without limitation, access from the existing Lot/Parcel 2 (the Lot/Parcel on which the mobilehomes are located) of RCHOA prior to construction of Reach A of College Boulevard and Retention Basin BJ. If you have further questions or comments on this matter, please feel free to give me a call to discuss.

As I understand it, the plannning commission has recommended that you remove, for further planning study, only the portion of Cannon Road Reach 4 adjoining Oceanside, and approve the EIR including 1200 feet of its westernmost portion. According to the EIR itself and testimony at the Planning Commission hearing, none of Reach 4 is required for the major plan which gives rise to the EIR, is not requested by the developer of that project, and has no funding other than what the City may provide. Also, there has been no adequate study of the impact of eliminating either all (the "no build" option) or a portion of the road. Cannon Road Reach 4 would cause permanent degradation of an established community, it would be harmful to the environment, is not needed, would not significantly help the traffic situation and would be very costly to the City of Carlsbad. I urge you to entirely delete it from the EIR which you are considering for approval at this time and, eventually, from the circulation element of the City's Master Plan. Thank you for your consideration.

Therefore, if the property owners refuse permission to construct these barriers, the impact will remain unmitigated. (3) Cumulative Traffic (a) Impact: The SR-78/EI Camino Real westbound off-ramp would operate at LOS E in the PM peak hour during the year 2020, which is considered a significant cumulative impact. (b) Finding: The SR-78/EI Camino Real westbound off-ramp would operate at LOS E in the PM peak hour during the year 2020, with or without the project. All feasible traffic mitigation measures have been adopted for the project's direct impacts. There is no feasible mitigation that can lessen this cumulative impact to below a level of significance. On page 37, in item number 7 entitled "Citywide Road Network Improvements", replace "...(Reaches 3 and 4)..." with "...(Reaches 3 and 4A)...".
