Ca Energy Commission expects final staff assessment out at the end of April. Workshops will be held once assessment has come out.
Not a good long term project for the City. Do not need a second powerplant in Carlsbad. Having a new PowerPlant not in the best interest of citizens of Carlsbad.

Julie Baker has been stellar as well as Joe Garuba. Something is missing - our businesses. If I were drving down I-5, heard about emissions from PowerPlants. Health impacts to children. KWill impact hotels and Legoland. Real Estate. How do we get businesses involved? Looking to Council - need businesses to work with the Power of Vision.

Packard conflicted and stepping down at 6:58 p.m.
Austin Silva to present staff report and review a Power Point Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Gave location of Property.
Project Summary.
eND OF PRESENTATION AT 7:01P.M.
Hall - read from DRB Resolution. If they wanted to do this the d eveloper, needed to do tentative improvements.
Austin Silva, explained that once project was started it would have been too costly to install the separate meters. Engineering Department granted the waiver.
Ball - Resolution can only be amended by DRB. Staff cannot change the conditions in Resolution.
Ball - you can take final action on it now or you don't have to. If Council has changes, you can have CA make changes, you can deny the project too.
Hall - we can move forward with conditions, approve it without changes, or deny the project.
Blackburn - why is the water metering such a big deal? A lot of people concerned about parking in lieu for 62 spaces. Mr. Silva explained that developer can purchase credits in the parking in lieu fee. Will go to maintenance and upkeep of existing parking areas in downtown.
Lewis - if I buy this condo - my water meter is going to be shared by six others, and I do not have a specified parking area. Austin - residential units will have parking on site, reatail does not have parking spaces - parking in lieu.
If two of the clients regarding water meter - if two refuse to pay who picks up the tab on the water bills. Mr. ???? who is this? Spoke about "submeters" the billing entity will be the association of property owners. If bill is not paid by the association - the Association will be billing based on the submeters.
The association will have to go after the members. Lewis - do we have any situation like this throughout the City. Man said there are a couple of others like this project that have been approved. Speaking about a Senior Community.
Hall - the authority by the Deputy City Engineer is null. Commission is only one who can authorize the meters.
Why can't these people have 6 water meters? The building would have to be re-plummed said man to the right of the Silva.
Hall - will there be an electric meter for each unit. Also gas meters.
Kulchin - tell me about a submeter.
A submeter is a device to be read by the Association - will be located in the units.
Applicant called forward.
Brent Riceinger, Richard and Richard, came forward to address Commission.
Mr. Riceinger, when went to talk to CMWD to put in the 10 water meters. Would take up several feet. Meter would have had to take up entire side of the building.
Mr. Riceinger - when building was permitted was permitted as it is now. Was permitted to not allow condos. Now asking for condo units. The illustration - would not put that many meters together. Would always have been submeters.
Have smaller area. Have impracticality to begin with have 120 feet of ally - option was to do one or two meters with submeters.
Lewis - if I'm a buyer I have to go to HOA to figure out my bill. It may be an uncommon thing in CArlsbad; however, not an uncommon occurance in having submeters (privately metered). All meters hooked to a modem and downloaded to property management. If we end up with 12 water counters, will total what City of Carlsbad is reading on one meter in the ally.
Hall - everything else is separately metered as far as electrical goes.
Open PH at 7:17 p.m.
Close PH at 7:17 p.m.
Lewis - have we looked at other situations and how successful. Have heard testimony that this is fairly widespread. Would like staff research and address water issue. Want more evidence.
Blackburn - I would agree to put it off. However, willing to support at this time. Understand the concept of sub-metering. I don't see that City needs to concern themselves.
Hall - little more information. Now continued for more information.
Kulchin - beautiful project . . . don't want to hold up.
Hildabrand - will bring it back as soon as possible. Proabably April 7. 4/1 Continued to April 7th.

Packard conflicted and stepping down at 6:58 p.m.
Austin Silva to present staff report and review a Power Point Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
Gave location of Property.
Project Summary.
eND OF PRESENTATION AT 7:01P.M.
Hall - read from DRB Resolution. If they wanted to do this the d eveloper, needed to do tentative improvements.
Austin Silva, explained that once project was started it would have been too costly to install the separate meters. Engineering Department granted the waiver.
Ball - Resolution can only be amended by DRB. Staff cannot change the conditions in Resolution.
Ball - you can take final action on it now or you don't have to. If Council has changes, you can have CA make changes, you can deny the project too.
Hall - we can move forward with conditions, approve it without changes, or deny the project.
Blackburn - why is the water metering such a big deal? A lot of people concerned about parking in lieu for 62 spaces. Mr. Silva explained that developer can purchase credits in the parking in lieu fee. Will go to maintenance and upkeep of existing parking areas in downtown.
Lewis - if I buy this condo - my water meter is going to be shared by six others, and I do not have a specified parking area. Austin - residential units will have parking on site, reatail does not have parking spaces - parking in lieu.
If two of the clients regarding water meter - if two refuse to pay who picks up the tab on the water bills. Mr. ???? who is this? Spoke about "submeters" the billing entity will be the association of property owners. If bill is not paid by the association - the Association will be billing based on the submeters.
The association will have to go after the members. Lewis - do we have any situation like this throughout the City. Man said there are a couple of others like this project that have been approved. Speaking about a Senior Community.
Hall - the authority by the Deputy City Engineer is null. Commission is only one who can authorize the meters.
Why can't these people have 6 water meters? The building would have to be re-plummed said man to the right of the Silva.
Hall - will there be an electric meter for each unit. Also gas meters.
Kulchin - tell me about a submeter.
A submeter is a device to be read by the Association - will be located in the units.
Applicant called forward.
Brent Riceinger, Richard and Richard, came forward to address Commission.
Mr. Riceinger, when went to talk to CMWD to put in the 10 water meters. Would take up several feet. Meter would have had to take up entire side of the building.
Mr. Riceinger - when building was permitted was permitted as it is now. Was permitted to not allow condos. Now asking for condo units. The illustration - would not put that many meters together. Would always have been submeters.
Have smaller area. Have impracticality to begin with have 120 feet of ally - option was to do one or two meters with submeters.
Lewis - if I'm a buyer I have to go to HOA to figure out my bill. It may be an uncommon thing in CArlsbad; however, not an uncommon occurance in having submeters (privately metered). All meters hooked to a modem and downloaded to property management. If we end up with 12 water counters, will total what City of Carlsbad is reading on one meter in the ally.
Hall - everything else is separately metered as far as electrical goes.
Open PH at 7:17 p.m.
Close PH at 7:17 p.m.
Lewis - have we looked at other situations and how successful. Have heard testimony that this is fairly widespread. Would like staff research and address water issue. Want more evidence.
Blackburn - I would agree to put it off. However, willing to support at this time. Understand the concept of sub-metering. I don't see that City needs to concern themselves.
Hall - little more information. Now continued for more information.
Kulchin - beautiful project . . . don't want to hold up.
Hildabrand - will bring it back as soon as possible. Proabably April 7. 4/1 Continued to April 7th.
