AB #20,151

Walt Meier introduced GiGi Orlowski to make a presentation on Village H.

GiGi Orlowski gave a Power Point Presentation on Village H (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).

Specifically address the 3.5 acre facility site of Village H. Referred to the Open Space Committee's ranking. Community was requesting the City purchase the 3.5 acre site and not the entire 60 acre property. Residents have questions. What will happen to the trail in the interim. What prevents any property owner from locking out the public until the property is developed. If the property is never developed what happens to the dog trails.

Walt Meier urged the Council to begin proceedings to purchase the land.

Diane Nygaard representing Preserve Calavera came forward to address Council. Ms. Nygaard said that Preserve Calavera will help the City purchase Village H. Ms. Nygaard asked the Council to partner with the community to purchase Village H. Get dates to have community pledge drive. go to preservecalavera.org for more information.

Christina Aeck came forward to address Council and introduce a video regarding an event that took place on February 13, 2010.

Don Christiansen of Carlsbad came forward to address Council. Mr. Christiansen explained that the 3.5 acres is the heart of Village H and it is what the community and travelers see. He requested that Council consider purchasing the property for the citizens of Carlsbad.

Community Development Director Gary Barbario gave the staff report and Power Point Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).

Mayor Lewis asked what section of Village H is the community asking the City to purchase.

Mayor Lewis asked what percentage of the 60 acres is to be dedictated to the city as open space.

Mr. Barbario stated that 94% of the 60 acres is designated as open space.

Council Member Hall asked how the endowment functioned.

Mr. Barbario replied that McMillian was required to fund this and the center for lands management is manageing the property.

Mr. Hall asked how the remaining property would be preserved and who would pay for this.

Mr. Barbario stated that not all of the 17 acres on the south side is required to be designed as habitat area.

Mr. Barbario stated that when the Open Space Committee was looking at this property, the property neecded to have some plants removed and new vegetation initiated to then be placed in the city's habitat management plan.

Mr. hall asked what revegetated means.

Mr. Barbario stated that non native species of plants needed to be removed and native plants needed to be put in their place this would include the eucalyptus trees.

Get Matt's question.

Property is generated by the general plan as open space with trails as part of the master plan of the project.

Council Member Blackburn asked if the city owned all of the land what would the costs be.

Mr. Barbario stated that there are trail maintenance costs, if the city chooses to purchase the proeprty and obtain habitat credit, the costs would be much higher.

Mr. Blackburn asked if the city purchased the property and only kept it for open space, if volunteers could maintain the proeprty.

Parks Planner Liz Ketabian stated that the city maintains the trail. Beyone the trail the center for lands management picks up the maintenance duties. Volunteers could maintain the existing trail if the city were to purchase the property.

Council Member Packard if it were to be required for management habitat, all the non native vegetaion would have to be removed and radically alter its current condition. WOuld dogs be permitted to walk through management habitat.

Mr. Barbario stated again the invassive species needed to be removed and it would be revegetated, but dogs could not run free and will only be permitted on leashes on the trails.

Mayor Lewis said that the comittee stated to acquire the entire 60 acres. Since 94% of the property is required to be open space.

Mr. Barbario stated the whole site, one lot is being offered for sale.

Mayor Lewis only 6% of the property can be developed.

Mr. Barbario stated yes, that the CF site was the developable area.

Mayor Lewis stated that the majority of the property would be designated as open space even if a developer was to purchase the property to develop the 3.5 acres.

Mayor Lewis asked City Attorney Ron Ball if Council had the choice of the six uses.

CA Ball stated that when a developer came before Council for approval it could make the determination of what it preferred of the six choices.

Mr. Barbario stated that the Master Plan contains 11 CF uses.

Mayor Lewis stated that the Council still has the choice.

Mr. Barbario gave the history of the Village H and Open Space purchase to the City Council. Mr. Barbario stated that in early 2008 Council declined to purchase Village H. City has been negotiating with the owner of the property for public trail acquisition.

If the city were to acquire the acreage on the south side and was wishing to get HMP credit, non native species removal and revegetation would need to occur.

Council Member Packard spoke about the destinction of the citywide designation CF and the master plan Cf designation. Did staff inform the citizen's group of the additional designations required.

Council Member Hall asked for general plan background on community facilities and why the city has them in master plans.

Mr. Barbario stated that there is a formula which is a standard that has been applied to all master plans whos purpose is to provide site for social, religious and human needs of the community.

CM Hall if the city were to acquire the proeprty would the City have to replace this land somewhere else

Mr. Barbario stated that yes, it was staff's opinion and would be contrary to past practices to remove the CF designation and not replace it.

Mr. Hall (get this)

Mr. Barbario stated that the requriement for the CF is made up of two sites.

Mr. hall asked if this included the land to be developed and existing land.

Mr. Barbario - not applied to already developed land.

CM Blackburn asked if the city were to own the property and decided no CF was needed could it waive this designation.

CA Ball replied that the City does have the right to redesignate the property.

Mayor Lewis stated that the City has been asked to consider an assessment district. He suggested that if people are interested this could be set up and the payments added to their taxes to acquire the property.

Park Planer Liz Ketabian stated that conditions of approval are met for the development of a project and the city acquires the trail easement and alignments. Recognizing the process does take time to have the condition placed on the MS maps. The former P/R director contacted the current property owner to develop a joint use agreement that would be an interim agreement to allow the trails to be used on this property. This would allow for a 20 ft trail use area , opening the gate at Victoria Avenue and allowing the trail to be used to the viewpoint area. Trail improvements go along with the joint use agreement.
