NOTICE OF INCOMPLETE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT APPLICATION FILING
(VIA EMAIL)
February 20, 2020
Eric Aust Architect
Attn: Eric Aust
62 Balboa Coves
Newport Beach, CA 92663
Application No. CDP No. CD2020-006
(PA2020-016)
Address 3905 Marcus Avenue
Please be advised that after reviewing the subject application, your submittal has been
deemed incomplete and further information is required before we are able to proceed
with the application process.
The following documentation is required to complete the application:
1. Property Development Standards.
Please be advised, the project as designed does not comply with all required property
development standards identified in Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC)
Chapter 21.30 (Property Development Standards). Reference the attached plan
check correction sheet for a list of the required changes.
2. Coastal Hazards Report and Bulkhead.
The report requires a few updates. I also have some areas of clarification regarding
the scope of work on the bulkhead.
a. One of the bold conclusions has a typo, stating, “the proposed structure will
remain below high tide…” Please correct.
b. The report includes data for the Medium High Risk Aversion scenario for sea level
rise. Please keep this in the report. However, you also need to include the
assumptions/interpolations for the high end of the low risk aversion column as
well. This is required per the City Council’s direction. You have already highlighted
the column in Table 28. FYI - This is where the 10.6’ NAVD88 top of bulkhead
requirement comes from, not the Design Guidelines.

c. Please mention the required concrete curb around the structure at the 10.6 feet
NAVD88.
d. Describe the panel repair work to the bulkhead in more depth. We need more
details about what this work entails and what is required to make the
bulkhead structurally sound for the next 75 years. The conclusions are mixed.
In one area the Bulkhead Conditions and Coastal Hazards reports state that
the bulkhead will last for 75 years and can be raised higher, in other areas it
says that if distress is observed it should be replaced. Can we gather more
information to make this determination?
e. Verify that if the sea level rise is greater than anticipated (i.e. medium high
risk aversion scenario) the bulkhead can be raised in the future. Would the
bulkhead need to be replaced to accommodate the additional load? This is
not clear.
f. Clarify if the scope of work on the bulkhead can be accomplished from the
landside of the wall or if mechanized equipment on the water is required. If
mechanized equipment on the water is necessary, the City cannot issue a
CDP for this portion of the work and a CDP from Coastal Commission is
required.
3. Digital Copies
Provide a digital copy of all the materials submitted including the updated plans
and reports.
FYI: Please be aware, a Waiver of Future Protection will likely be required as a condition of
approval for this project in accordance with Section 21.30.015(E)(5). This is a recorded
agreement waiving any potential right to future protection devices to address threats from
natural hazards for the economic life of the development.
Upon verification of completion, the application will be processed and scheduled for a
Zoning Administrator Hearing. Should you have any questions regarding submittal
requirements, please contact Liz Westmoreland, Assistant Planner at 949-644-3234 or
lwestmoreland@newportbeachca.gov.

PLAN CHECK NO. PA2020-016 ADDRESS: 3905 Marcus
CORRECTION DATE: 2/20/20
CORRECTIONS:
Please make the following corrections to the plans:
1. The third floor covered roof decks are too enclosed. They need to be 100% open on the
front or you need to make multiple sides substantially open. For example, you could open
the entire front, or make the sides with open guardrails instead of solid construction. This
applies to both covered roof decks. See markups for suggestions. Include notes for all
openings, “to remain open”.
2. The grading plan shows a wall that exceeds that maximum height of 42” from existing
grade. See markup.
3. BBQ counters in the front yard setback cannot exceed 6’ in length. Revise and break up
into multiple counters if you’d like more space.
4. Dimension 15’ additional third floor stepback somewhere on the plans so it’s documented.
5. Keep in mind that a 10.6-foot NAVD88 curb will be required around the house for flood
protection from sea level rise. Please factor this in with your garage dimensions (your
garage is larger than required so it should be fine).
6. Add note to roof deck that all features on the roof deck limited to 24’ from est. grade and
list the associate elevation. This applies to both roof decks (i.e spa and backup generator,
etc).
