State grant funds from the California Division of Boating and Waterways in the amount
$75,562.00 was accepted by the City Council at its March 28, 2017 meeting. Additionally, on
October 26, 2016, the City Council accepted a $350,000 donation from Newport Harbor
Yacht Club (NHYC) as a condition of its Coastal Development Permit as mitigation to
providing public access elsewhere in the harbor. Therefore, the State DBAW grant and the
NHYC donation will fund 100 percent of this project. After the public dock is constructed,
remaining funding from the NHYC donation will augment the funding needed for Central
Avenue Plaza improvements. The plaza project is in the final planning stage, and staff
anticipates construction after the pier project is complete.
DISCUSSION:
The Central Avenue Public Dock, located adjacent to the Newport Boulevard bridge and near
Lido Marina Village, has been recommended by the Harbor Commission as an ideal location
for providing public access to and from the water in an underserved part of the harbor.
Primary users of this dock are expected to be small dinghies from the anchorage, and other
smaller craft who will visit the local businesses.
The following summary illustrates a few of the design considerations noted during the bid
process:
• The proposed dock design was developed to allow the bidder to construct the new
dock from a variety of standard material including wood, concrete and even fiberglass.
• The 50 -foot gangway length maximizes accessibility to the greatest extent possible. In
addition, its diagonal position to the float relative to the seawall also minimizes the
extension of the float into the adjacent navigational channel that leads to/from the
Newport Boulevard Bridge.
• Cleat pattern: There are fourteen cleats spaced four feet apart on the backside of the
float for small dinghies. A 20 -foot vessel may dock on either end of the float, and at
least three to four smaller 20 -foot vessels may dock on the bayward side of the float.
• The bulkhead height will be raised less than one foot to comply with the City's Harbor
Standards.
• The float is ten feet wide to better accommodate side -tied 20 -foot vessels.
