We feel this plan will be detrimental to our neighbors & community. The larger docks will negatively impact our neighbor's residences and are too large in scale for the existing Marina. Thank you.

The privacy and security for homeowners everywhere is of the upmost importance and placing these docks so close to Bayshores homeowners poses a significant tear in privacy and security for all Bayshores residents. On another note, the channel being narrow would become even further reduced to boating, kayaking, and other water travel. In the spring and summer months this area is full of water enthusiasts and crowded. Even in the fall and winter months, the area gets more than its fair share of use. Furthermore, docks are generally unsightly and do not add to the look and feel of an area but as a necessary component of any bay, they need to be strategically placed to not impact the overall security, ambiance, and flow of the area.. Additionally, adding very, very large to medium yachts and boats to the mix potentially makes the area more congested and impacts the security of the Bayshores area. I urge you to thoughtfully rethink this as first and foremost a security issue for Bayshores residents and secondly as a potential congestion/eyesore issue. Thank you for attention to this matter.

Please do not allow this plan to go through. We understand the Marina and Apartment parking is 25% deficient in the number of spots required for a newly constructed marina. Having 9 new large vessels will bring large crews and maintenance workers to these boats which will clog up the already overburdened traffic entrance on Bayshore Drive in front of the neighborhood gate. The current marina does not place the biggest burdens on homeowners which is consistent with other marinas in Newport Harbor including new marinas. The current marina has a 24' setback from the bulkhead. Please DENY the Approval in Concept to build this marina. Send this matter back to the City staff with the envelope that a new marina design can be submitted and approved so long as a 24' setback from the homeowners property lines exists.

We appreciate the security of our community, and the ability of many families with children to feel secure within. Newport Beach is a wonderful community for both residents and visitors -one we are proud of. The current design of the new Marina in front of the Bayshore Apartments and the Bayshore Community should NOT be approved by the city council, as designed. The design allows for the construction of very large boat slips which will accommodate large yachts up to 80 feet. Yachts this site would allow direct access to residents homes and to our community by those using the public Marina. We urge you to defeat the plans to create a Marina that allows for boat slips this large, that will directly affect the safety, views and security of Bayshore residents.

There has to be some kind of protection from such developments by our City Council now and in the future. I live across the channel from this proposal and have personally experienced the outrageous noise and disruption from parties on the boats, including later in the night. I understand that the residential owners that are impacted by this proposal have tried to work with the staff to come up with a mutual plan.

After seeing the renderings of what the view will be for the 3-4 homes directly in front of the new 80' boats, it is unfathomable that this plan was approved. Not only will it affect their view and quality of life, many other homes with roof views will be severely limited, as well as views from Kings road! The view from the PCH bridge will also change negatively. When we moved into Bayshores 3 1/2 years ago, an added benefit was our families desire to purchase a boat and have it parked at this marina. It is quiet as few boats are `party' or charter boats and the access is fantastic. We have spent many wonderful dinners at our neighbors who have water views and I simply can't believe the marina owners would choose to amend their original plan and throw their approved plan in the face of these neighbors who tried desperately to be accommodating in the expansion. After meeting the owners a couple of times, I am convinced that they are pleased that the neighbors will lose their views. None of us likely have any ill will to them for wanting to improve their business and increase their financial gain, but it can come with a different plan. I am curious to understand the economic benefit to the city in allowing this plan. Could diminished property values of an entire neighborhood be a consequence? Would taxes the marina pay make up for any loss in ad valorem? Did the property owner have the `rights' to this type of change in his deed? How many marinas are allowed to operate in the Bay? It would seem if they are part of a monopoly of those licenses, they are truly looking for economic gain with a drastic competitive advantage at the expense of any other citizen/local business that might want to compete. How will the residents directly in front of these new slips have recourse when trash, boat parties, etc inevitably become nuisances? Ever spent a night at Balboa Bay Club when these massive boats are having late night parties? We support the APPEAL of the Bayshores Marina design. Please do not let this injustice occur.

It simply isn't fair to allow the Marina to build new docks five feet away from the sea walls of private residential homes plus boat slips of up to 80 feet. There has to be some kind of protection from such developments by our City Council now and in the future. I live across the channel from this proposal and have personally experienced the outrageous noise and disruption from parties on the boats, including later in the night. I understand that the residential owners that are impacted by this proposal have tried to work with the staff to come up with a mutual plan. Surely, we residents, still have rights to live in reasonable privacy. We plan to be at the Tuesday meeting and hope to hear of a fair resolution to this situation.

I would hate for that view to be obstructed by many more boats, and I would strongly dislike other people's boats being a few feet away from my house. For people with a backyard, it is a major violation of privacy and safety because they have direct access to anyones' houses. Boat maintenance is very common, and I would hate to have people constantly working in front of my house obstructing my view. The parking would be a major issue. As someone who goes to Bay shores a lot, I can agree that their neighborhood has difficulty parking. With a lack of space there and the apartments next to it, there would be much less room available for parking for the people working there. Overall, the increase in boat docks would increase the number of people there and which will add a significant amount of boat and street traffic as well as lower the quality of safety and living in the houses that will be infested with boats around them.

The plan to place large slips accommodating boats up to 80' in length immediately in front of residential homes, with a 5' setback and in certain places less than 6" from residential property lines is improper and should be reconsidered immediately. Adopting this new design is contrary to the City of Newport Beach's General Plan, which is supposed to support residents' privacy and property rights. This plan will directly impact numerous homes, and other alternative plans should be considered to mitigate the impact on the families occupying those homes. Frankly, it is disappointing the design has advanced this far, and smacks of nothing more than a money grab for the City and the marina operator. Please vote against this ill- conceived plan.

As I have read, the Marina and Apartment parking is 25% below current code requirements for number of spots required for a newly constructed marina. The addition of nine large vessels will bring crews and maintenance workers to these boats which will clog up the already overburdened traffic entrance on Bayshore Drive in front of the neighborhood gate, as well as disrupting the homes they will be docked in front of. During peak times such as holidays and the boat parade, stacking for our entrance to Bayshores backs up into PCH creating a hazardous and grid locked condition, making it time consuming, dangerous, and difficult for residents to access their community and homes. The addition of more boats, noise, and cars will not improve this situation. This project is proposed so an apartment and marina owner can simply generate more rent money from their facility to line their pockets with no solution or contribution to solve the current problem for the existing community. At a minimum it should require significant intersection and parking improvements on their property and relocation of the large boats in front of their rental units.

The new approved design will greatly impact the security of the current residents on Bayshore Dr, eliminate their privacy, obstruct their beautiful views, and negatively impact the investments of good people in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Newport Beach. The general plan uses and emphasizes phrases such as "quality of life", "livability", "enhancement of the quality of life", and "protection of the interests of adjoining residents". The current plan does not adhere to the definitions and intentions of these powerful words. I am confidant that our intelligent and rational council members must understand and identify the terrible impact this design will have on the homeowners. Eighteen years ago I achieved my goal of becoming a Newport Beach homeowner. It took hard work and dedication to achieve the financial success needed to live in one of the greatest coastal cities in the world. I have witnessed talented, smart, driven individuals from all over the world achieve their dream of Newport Beach residency. I am confidant that if this plan was instituted in your own backyard you would clearly recognize the great detriment it would have to your life, your family, your home, and your dream. Please listen to your residents and work on a plan together that satisfies everyones wants, needs, and concerns. I support the appeal of the Bayshore Marina approved design.

"Implement a conservative growth strategy that enhances the quality of life of residents and balances the needs of all constituencies..." "Preserve the uses of the Harbor and the waterfront that contribute to the charm and character of Newport Beach and provide needed support for recreational and commercial boaters, visitors, and residents, with appropriate regulations necessary to protect the interests of all users as well as adjoining residents." "... meet the needs of Newport Beach's residents and are designed to sustain livability and a high quality of life." "These uses shall be designed to assure compatibility with adjoining residential addressing such issues as noise, lighting, and parking." Quality of life is mentioned 8 times in the Newport Beach General Plan Needs of residents is mentioned 4 times. Privacy is discussed at least 5 times.

Having large yachts and a dock 5 feet of a private residential bulkhead is a major loss of privacy, quality of life, increased noise, close proximity to diesel fumes from boats, loss of sunlight increased safety risk and very poor judgement. There are other smart designs to select that do not cause a hardship to the marina operator yet accomplish their revenue goals, some of which have been offered up by the appellants. In the Newport Beach General Plan, the stated goal of development is to "Complement and enhance Newport Beach character and livability". This bad marina design does not make this city more livable for the neighbors or our neighborhood. Also in the General Plan is discussion of a "growth strategy that enhances the quality of life of residents and balances the needs of all constituencies" — this design does not enhance quality of life nor does it balance the needs ofresidents; it is only considerate of the needs of the marina operator whose needs CAN be met with other designs. Please do not allow this plan to go through. OTHER POINTS: As a boat owner, it would be negligent for the City to approve a plan that has an inherently dangerous access point for the small boats. At normal high tides, the marina walkway will cause electric boat owners to hit their anchor lights and numerous other types of boats will no longer be able to access the small slips due to this unique and flawed design. We understand the Marina and Apartment parking is 25% deficient in the number of spots required for a newly constructed marina. Having 9 new large vessels will bring large crews and maintenance workers to these boats which will clog up the already overburdened traffic entrance on Bayshore Drive in front of the neighborhood gate. The current marina does not place the biggest burdens on homeowners which is consistent with other marinas in Newport Harbor including new marinas. The current marina has a 24' setback from the bulkhead. Please DENY the Approval in Concept to build this marina. Send this matter back to the City staff with the envelope that a new marina design can be submitted and approved so long as a 24' setback from the homeowners property lines exists.

Please do not let this injustice occur. This marina design is flawed in many respects — it substantially reduces residents and neighbors quality of life due to an invasion of privacy, loss of quiet enjoyment of homes and yards and a substantial loss of market value due to these substantial infringements. There are numerous other marina design plans, including those submitted by the homeowners/appellants, which do not cause a hardship on the Marina owners. We implore the City Council to use good judgement and deny the proposed marina and have them resubmit plans that do not place undue burden on the residents. The plan submitted by the marina operators would be the ONLY marina in Newport where the commercial marina has its large boats in front of single family homes.

Marina slips that allow large boats in front of residences should not be allowed. Being in the marine industry my company rents several large slips similar to the type being considered. All of these slips are in commercial locations and they do not adversely effect any residential properties. If the City Council allows this marina, the residential properties values would dramatically decrease and the homeowners livability and quality of life would be negatively effected. Large slips should only be allowed in front of commercial properties that do not obstruct the residence views, create noise pollution, create light pollution, and create air pollution from diesel fumes. In addition, large boats generally require more crew and service professionals and these higher profile boats will allow the people aboard the vessels a direct view into the residential homes, thus destroying the piece, tranquility, and privacy of the homeowners.

In reading up on the proposed marina plans we are frustrated that plans would be approved for such changes that affect not on the direct residents in the area but all residents of the city as well. The proposed plans not only affect everyone's quality of life but the overall value of their homes as well. The city needs to do its full due diligence to ensure that the plans that are approved provide the best possible outcome for all parties involved. I hope that you will take the extra time with the City Council meeting being pushed to March 12th to consider all sides in this situation and come up with a more suitable plan or proposal.
