Webb, Public Works Director — 949-644-3311, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov Socheata Chhouk, Civil Engineer schhouk@newportbeachca.gov 949-644-3346 TITLE: Request for Waiver of City Council Policy L-6 at 3235 Ocean Blvd. ABSTRACT: The property owner of 3235 Ocean Blvd (Owner) is requesting a waiver of City Council Policy L-6 to install 17 temporary shoring caissons and four (4) permanent caissons and appurtenances within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION: a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Waive Council Policy L-6, Private Encroachments in the Public Rights -of -Way, to allow 17 temporary shoring caisson and four (4) permanent caissons and appurtenances that will encroach in excess of 1 -foot into the Ocean Boulevard public right-of-way, contingent upon all conditions of the Encroachment Permit process being met; and c) Direct staff to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with the Owner, and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Encroachment Agreement within one (1) calendar year upon receipt of approval. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: As part of the redevelopment of the property located at 3235 Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar, the Owner is requesting to install 17 temporary shoring caissons and four (4) permanent caissons within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. 9-1 Request for Waiver of City Council Policy L-6 at 3235 Ocean Blvd. October 10, 2017 Page 2 The permanent caissons will encroach up to approximately 8 -feet into the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. The temporary shoring caissons will encroach up to approximately 22 -feet into the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. This portion of Ocean Boulevard slopes downward towards private property and the ocean. There is an elevation change of approximately 10 -feet between the back of the existing sidewalk on Ocean Boulevard and the property line. On March 24, 2015, City Council approved installation of a decorative driveway with concrete retaining walls, a 24 -inch wide concrete V -ditch swale behind said concrete retaining walls, a concrete stairway with retaining walls and wrought iron guard rails to a maximum height of 42 -inches above stairway grade, a 14 -inch wide by 24 -inch deep by 48 -inch high plastered block mailbox, private landscaping, and irrigation improvements and appurtenances within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. The Owner is requesting the caissons in the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way to limit massive grading between the public sidewalk and property line, which is approximately 45 -foot wide. The 17 temporary shoring caissons will be up to 30 -inch wide diameter and will be removed after the retaining walls are complete. The temporary shoring caissons vary in depth from 17 feet to 25 feet depending on the retaining wall height. The four permanent caissons will be 42 -inch wide diameter and be located under the previously approved staircase and will not be visible from the public sidewalk. The permanent caissons depth below ground will vary depending on the soil conditions, but could be a maximum of 30 feet. City Council Policy L-6, Section A, prohibits structural encroachments including fences, walls, patios, raised planters, etc., which encroach in excess of 1 -foot into the public right-of-way. The caissons are considered structural encroachments and would be encroaching in excess of 1 -foot into the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. Currently, there are existing sidewalks on Ocean Boulevard and there are no City -owned utilities that will be impacted by the proposed private encroachments. These proposed private improvements will not diminish the rights of the public, present and future. The Building Division has reviewed the site plan and request to include the following condition: • A licensed land surveyor shall monitor all shoring daily and deliver the survey reports to the City. Any deflection greater than a'/4 inch shall be reported to the City. Should the City Council elect to approve the installation of the said private improvements and appurtenances, staff recommends that the City Council require the Owner to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with the City. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment), and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. 9-2 Request for Waiver of City Council Policy L-6 at 3235 Ocean Blvd. October 10, 2017 Page 3 NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

To satisfy Conditions #39 and #40 and Public Works Plan Check Corrections #1 and #2, we obtained an encroachment permit (N2015-0446) for vacating the existing 4 -foot wide sewer easement located along the east side of the property and for installing site improvements in the City's public right of way between the northern property line and Ocean Boulevard. As originally planned the grading for the drive way and site walls would require the removal of earth all the way to the public sidewalk. To substantially reduce the grading in the public right of way a series of (4) permanent caissons will be utilized along with (17) temporary caissons for shoring purposes. Justification for the shoring caisson design: 1. As originally requested —the installation of the retaining walls on the North side of the driveway will require temporary shoring during construction. The (17) shoring caissons are temporary and will be removed after the retaining walls are built. 2. The grading process utilizing caissons will be approximately a 3 -month duration of time. 3. The (4) permanent caissons are located under the approved staircase and are 37 feet south of the public sidewalk. 4. The (4) permanent caissons are located 2 feet below the staircase (and planter) and range from 3 feet to 7 feet below the existing grade of 80'. The reconstruction of the driveway, steps on grade, and walkway in the public right away are necessary to provide vehicle and pedestrian access for the new garage and house as it did for the existing house. Additionally, the proposed site improvement will continue to preserve the public's ocean view and will enhance the city property to be more aesthetically pleasing for the owner, neighbors, and those using the 470 Old Newport Blvd • Newport Beach, GA 92663 • T: 949.645.5854 F: 949.645.5983 Members AIA & NCARB • www.customarchitecture.com Energy Conscious Design 9-6 public right of way.

Webb, Public Works Director- (949) 644-3330, dawebb@newportbeachca.gov Rodi Almendralo, Civil Engineer (949) 644-3334 Summary Vacation of Existing Sewer Easement and Request to Install Private Improvements within the Public Right -of -Way at 3235 Ocean Boulevard The property owner of 3235 Ocean Boulevard (Owner) is requesting that the City summarily vacate an existing City sewer easement running across the property, and request approval to install a decorative driveway with concrete retaining walls, a 24 -inch wide concrete V -ditch swale behind said concrete retaining walls, a concrete stairway with retaining walls and wrought iron guard rails to a maximum height of 42 -inches above stairway grade, a 14 -inch wide by 24 -inch deep by 48 -inch high plastered block mailbox, private landscaping and irrigation improvements and appurtenances within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. RECOMMENDATION; a) Adopt Resolution No. 2015-18, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Ordering the Summary Vacation of an Existing 4 -Foot Wide Sewer Easement at 3235 Ocean Boulevard (Lot 16 and Southeasterly Half of Lot 15 of Tract 1026); and Directing the City Clerk to Record Same with the County Recorder's Office, and ordering the summary vacation of a sewer easement at 3235 Ocean Boulevard: b) Direct staff to process the summary vacation of said easement; c) Direct the City Clerk to have the Resolution and summary vacation documents recorded by the Orange County Recorder; d) Waive Council Policy L-6, Private Encroachments in Public Rights -of -Way, to allow a decorative driveway with concrete retaining walls, a 24 -inch wide concrete V -ditch swale behind said concrete retaining walls, a concrete stairway with retaining walls and wrought iron guard rails to a maximum height of 42 -inches above stairway grade, a 14 -inch wide by 24 -inch deep by 48 -inch high plastered block mailbox, private landscaping and irrigation improvements and appurtenances that encroach in excess of 1 - foot into the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way, contingent upon all conditions of the Encroachment Permit process being met: and 7-19-9 e) Direct staff to enter into an Encroachment Agreement with the Owners, and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Encroachment Agreement within one (1) calendar year upon receipt of approval. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. DISCUSSION: As part of the redevelopment of the property located at 3235 Ocean Boulevard in Corona del Mar, the Owner is requesting that the City summarily vacate an existing sewer easement and for approval to install a decorative driveway with concrete retaining walls, a 24 -inch wide concrete V -ditch swale behind said concrete retaining walls, a concrete stairway with retaining walls and wrought iron guard rails to a maximum height of 42 -inches above stairway grade, a 14 -inch wide by 24 -inch deep by 48 -inch high plastered block mailbox, private landscaping and irrigation improvements and appurtenances within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. In 1952, the City obtained a 4 -foot wide easement on the southeasterly portion of the property for the installation of a sewer force main. In 2001, the City constructed a sewer force main on Breakers Drive which abandoned the sewer force main within the 4 -foot wide easement on the property. Although this sewer force main was abandoned, the 4 -foot wide easement was not vacated. Once the easement is vacated, the Owner will be able to use the land without any easement restrictions. Pursuant to the California Streets and Highways Code Section 8333 et seq., the City Council may summarily vacate a City easement if the easement is unnecessary for present or prospective sewer purposes. The proposed summarily vacated easement satisfies the condition of the California Streets and Highways Code since the said easement will not be needed for sewer purposes. The existing easement to be summarily vacated is legally described in Attachment "A" and shown in Attachment "B" of the attached Resolution. The requested private encroachments will encroach up to approximately 20 -feet into the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way. This portion of Ocean Boulevard slopes downward towards private property and the ocean. There is an elevation change of approximately 10 -feet between the back of the existing sidewalk on Ocean Boulevard and the property line. Adjacent neighbors to the East have similar private encroachments within the Ocean Boulevard right-of-way that are permitted through an encroachment permit and agreement. City Council Policy L-6, Section A, prohibits structural encroachments including fences, walls, patios, raised planters, etc., which encroach in excess of 1 -foot into the public right-of-way. Currently, there are existing sidewalks on Ocean Boulevard and there are no City -owned utilities that will be impacted by the proposed private encroachments. These proposed private improvements will not diminish the rights of the public, present and future. Should the City Council elect to approve the installation of the said private improvements and appurtenances, staff recommends that the City council require the property owner to enter into an encroachment agreement with the City. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. 7-29-10 NOTICING_ The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Newport Beach that the portion of public sewer easement legally described in Exhibit "A," and depicted on the map attached as Exhibit "B" based on the evidence submitted, that the public sewer easement has been superseded by the relocation of existing sewer main to Breakers Drive and that there are no other public facilities located within the public sewer easement.

Architecture, to design a new single family residence at 3235 Ocean Boulevard. The project was previously reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission for a variance (VA2013-004/PA2013-110) to allow the construction of the Lower Level to encroach 10 feet into the required 10 foot front yard setback subject to a list of conditions.of approval. To satisfy Conditions #39 and #40 and Public Works Plan Check Corrections #1 and #i2, we would like to request an encroachment permit for vacating the existing 4 -foot wide sewer easement located. along the east side of the property, for granting a new easement for the city's existing sump pump stations to encroach into our client's property at the bottom of the siteadjacent to Breakers Drive, and for installing minor site improvements in the City's public right of way between the northern property line and Ocean Boulevard. The site improvements include the. following: 1. Removal and replacement of the driveway and installation of concrete plastered retaining.walls. The installation of the retaining walls will require temporary shoring during construction. 2. Installation of new concrete steps -on -grade, landings, and concrete plastered retaining walls with 42" high wrought iron guard rails on top.
