Greetings, As a past Balboa Island merchant association participant and member of the Amelia's Restaurant family, I couldn't be happier with the business Royal Hen has built. Not only is the food delicious and service top notch, the Royal Hen takes every opportunity to support the local community. In the recent years, the outdoor seating on Marine Avenue has added an additional feature to welcome in diners and add to the warm ambiance. There has been no inconvenience to people walking by on the sidewalk, and the people sitting at their tables are only a positive attribute to the island "feel" of hospitality and warmth. I hope the dining al fresco will be allowed to remain as it only offers upside to the business and benefit to the atmosphere which Balboa Island merchants has been trying to accomplish for years.

February 5, 2022 Dear Council Members, I am writing you to ask you to vote to continue outdoor seating on Balboa Island. I have lived on the Island for the past 16 years. Two years ago when the restaurants had to close, we did everything to try to support them starting with take- out. With take-out and everyone eating at home, we lost the interaction with our island neighbors. Then came the ability to eat outdoors. The restaurants were able to spread out tables and still be financially viable. With the ability to use outdoor space, they can still have the same number of tables as they did pre -pandemic. No one wants to sit as close to each other as we once did! The exciting point is we got our Island "vibe" back. The fact that we live in a climate where we can help the restaurants and create a fun safe environment all year round is terrific. We have been at the Royal Hen one to two nights per week for the last year and a half. We engage with the tourists, the locals, the animal walkers. Everyone is able to get through on the sidewalk, even on the busiest of nights. Thank you for supporting the restaurants and outdoor seating so far and Please Support going forward. We are not past the COVID spread and we do not want to lose any of the great restaurants that we have on the island and in Newport as a whole!!

We have been coming and staying on Balboa for 2 months for the past 14 years. One of the great aspects to this year's stay has been the increase in outdoor dining.

The CA climate is so mild and the island hosts guests who do not cause noise or block walkways, perfect for sidewalk dining. We really enjoy being able to enjoy the beautiful weather while dining.

Dear City Council Members, Thank you for all that you do for our great City, especially navigating us through these unprecedented pandemic times. We are writing in support of outdoor dining to continue here on Balboa Island for our local establishments like the Royal Hen and others along Marine Avenue. It has been an added benefit to us islanders to support our local businesses and dine al fresco, especially as the weather improves. Since we also walk the island and Marine Avenue quite regularly, we've noticed that the sidewalks are even cleaner as the restaurants take extra care to make their dining experience memorable, and that includes sweeping and cleaning in front of other storefronts in addition to their own. We sure hope to continue outdoor dining here on Balboa Island!

Dear City Council, I wanted to send you a comment in reference to item SS3 Outdoor Dining in the Public Right of Way from Balboa Island to the Newport Pier Area: I am the marketing manager for a business directly impacted by this issue. When the pandemic hit many customers were nervous to eat inside. Having the parklet was a genius move by the City of Newport Beach; adding a way for people to eat socially distanced and outdoors actively helped restaurants during this very challenging time. Having a place for people to sit and eat AT the restaurants not only helps with drawing customers back, but the parklets also draw in new visitors who like to enjoy the outdoor ambiance created by the parklets. The parklets also cause customers to stay longer which causes them to buy more food which ultimately generates more tax revenue, so I see this as a win-win. I respectfully ask the Council to support allowing businesses to continue having outdoor dining parklets in the public right of way through the Covid 19 pandemic.

My comments are in regards to item SS3 Outdoor Dining in the Pubic Right of Way from Balboa Island to the Newport Pier Area: I am a resident of Newport Beach and frequent the Newport Peninsula and know the challenges in running a restaurant during this pandemeic. I know the pandemic has been very difficult on businesses in our community. As a resident of Newport Beach, I enjoy the outdoor dining and wish it would continue. If businesses want to continue to utilize their outdoor dining area, I sure hope our city council lets it continue- small businesses could really use a break! Neighboring cities such as Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach have adopted a policy such as the one being presented today. There must be some way to justify certain businesses being able to keep the outdoor or dining. Lets figure out a way to make it work. A blanket No is easy but its not the right way. Too many restaurants have barely survived and taking away their outdoor dining option is not what being a business friendly city is all about.

What a great weekend. The weather is fantastic and the buzz of Super Bowl and our Rams is in the air. We should start seeing a lot of Bengals fans around Balboa Island this week who are in town for the game. I am writing in support of Sidewalk Patio Seating on Marine Avenue. If any of you have come on down for lunch / dinner and sat outside, you know the beautiful / Italian / French ambiance you get by eating under the beautiful Eucalyptus trees. Thanks to all our wonderful eateries and the ability to have outside dining, we have the option to eat outside or inside with limited capacity / space to stay safe as we navigate these trying times under COVID. Orange County has lost over 6,000 lives due to COVID and we want to be as safe as possible, while still being able to participate in life and live our best lives, which includes supporting our local businesses / restaurants. I would ask that we are at least permitted until the end of the 2022 to evaluate and see what ordinances may need to be enacted or adjusted for the best interest of all parties.

Those permits essentially ended December 31, 2021 and we were asked to provide an application for outside seating to continue until December 31, 2022. This outdoor seating became imperative for our financial survival during COVID and we are extremely grateful for this allowance. We have seen how loved this seating has become and we truly believe it adds great charm and vitality to Balboa Island. I have been told the City has certain concerns and I'd like to address them from our experience: 1. Issue of ADA(wheelchair accessibility) due to chairs and tables outside -we have not had one issue with people unable to pass through or complaining about this, to the contrary people in wheelchairs greatly enjoyed being able to sit outside and not have to maneuver into restaurants -even on busiest days of Halloween and Boat Parade Foot traffic, pedestrians had no trouble getting through -the actual tree wells of the Historic Eucalyptus trees reach further into the sidewalk than our tables -our tables outside still leave a 6 foot and in some cases 7 foot of sidewalk space to walk through *please see attached photos 2. Issue of insurance and City Liability -we are required to carry extra insurance policies for those outside areas and free the city from liability -we are happy to carry this insurance at any rate city declares necessary going forward 3. Cleanliness of Sidewalks -our area of sidewalk is actually cleaner than other areas as we clean, sweep and pick up any animal deposits around trees before and after every service, leading to cleaner sidewalks overall 4. Will need more parking as outside seating adds capacity -actually since COVID we are basically taking seating from inside and placing them outside so our basic capacity has stayed the same, thus parking space needs are not increased. Customers are no longer willing to sit as close as they once did inside or sit inside at all as they did prior to COVID therefore the inside seating is greatly reduced and we need outside seating to accommodate and maintain financial viability. 5. Using public property for business -this is true but in general provides more tax revenue for the city and allows restaurants the chance to make up much needed lost revenue and keep employees employed -other cities are assessing a cost for parking spaces or square footage and we are open to that as well 6. Heaters and Trees -1 do realize some restaurants had placed heaters too close to trees which resulted in unfortunate damage, guidelines were provided from the city to keep heaters at least 5ft from trees and since then from my experience no more issues have been reported I would ask that we are at least permitted sidewalk use until the end of the 2022 to evaluate and see what ordinances may need to be enacted or adjusted for the best interest of all parties. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. With warmest regards, Cynthia Shafer (760)238-6901 6 feet distance Ir m LINk I .

Some for the good - some not so good. With the shutdowns revolving around the Covid outbreak two years ago, I was a huge proponent of "Shop Local" and "Order Your Food To -Go" and make sure to "Tip Those Delivery People Heavily." That's how we got through it. Well - mostly. Many shops on the island, in Newport, across the county, and our great country closed due to lack of business during this terrible time. Ok - getting to the point. PLEASE allow for the continued use of sidewalks for outdoor dining on Balboa Island - and for the rest of Newport Beach as well. It has been s000 beneficial - bringing a little light and joy and helping develop new friendships along the sidewalk. *Some points that were raised about blocking passersby - especially in wheelchairs ... not valid. I literally walk that sidewalk several times a day (did I mention that I love to support our Island shops?) and never have I seen someone not be able to get by due to tables on the sidewalk. Literally - it is simply not an issue. *Another issue is how to keep the sidewalks clean. Every restaurant I patronize cleans the sidewalk just as they would if there was a spill or trash inside their restaurant. I mean, look at Royal Hen. Their sidewalk area is spotless. It is constantly cleaned. Again, this is simply not a real issue. Now we can look at ... spilled ice cream and Balboa Bars as tourists stroll the sidewalks. And folks from other Newport neighborhoods who walk their dogs here, let them poop and pee right on the sidewalk in front of a shop or someone's front door (mine, lol), and just keep on strolling. Let's deal with these people and punish them. Not the restaurants. *Also, I have no problem with restaurants using the sidewalk even though they are public property. I mean, at least I know that Royal Hen is willing to pay a stipend for the benefit of using the sidewalk. Additionally, cities all over the WORLD use public sidewalks for cafe seating. It gives the Island a wonderful vibe and the tourists and neighbors love it. How quaint! Would you rather see EMPTY sidewalks? and NO tourists or diners? *In fact, todays Orange County Register has a big article on the best places to enjoy patio dining in Orange County. If the local newspaper has researched it, thinks it is a great idea and is telling millions of readers to go out and enjoy, then I think we should listen. And speaking of listening, thanks so much for hearing me out. I talk a lot.

This outdoor seating became imperative for our financial survival during COVID and we are extremely grateful for this allowance. We have seen how loved this seating has become and we truly believe it adds great charm and vitality to Balboa Island. 1. Issue of ADA(wheelchair accessibility) due to chairs and tables outside People in wheelchairs greatly enjoyed being able to sit outside and not have to maneuver into restaurants 2. Issue of insurance and City Liability Required to carry extra insurance policies for those outside areas and free the city from liability 3. Cleanliness of Sidewalks Sidewalk is actually cleaner than other areas as they clean, sweep and pick up any animal deposits around trees before and after every service, leading to cleaner sidewalks overall 4. Will need more parking as outside seating adds capacity Since COVID we are basically taking seating from inside and placing them outside so our basic capacity has stayed the same, thus parking space needs are not increased. Customers are no longer willing to sit as close as they once did inside or sit inside at all as they did prior to COVID therefore the inside seating is greatly reduced and we need outside seating to accommodate and maintain financial viability. 5. Using public property for business True but in general provides more tax revenue for the city and allows restaurants the chance to make up much needed lost revenue and keep employees employed 6.

The outdoor dining creates a festive atmosphere for both locals and tourists alike; and we enjoy having the option to sit outside with our two young daughters. The outdoor seating has also provided a gathering place for the local residents during the week that would most likely disappear if the outdoor dining options were to be lost.

Dear Newport City Council, My name is Nez Balelo a resident of Balboa Island and a business man who does a lot of business in the OC area. Since Covid unfortunately hit everyone , especially businesses and more particularly restaurants, we all rallied and did what we could to support our local economy - our brethren . Outside seating and allowing restaurants to accommodate quite a few patrons is vital on so many fronts and continues to be because this virus just doesn't feel like it's going away. Lifting outside seating is limiting half of the areas clientele from dining and supporting these loyal restaurants and it's so important we continue to show these business's support . Personally I do a lot of business in the evening with clients and potential clients and having outside availability to respect the virus and allow us to support the restaurants but allow us some normalcy as well, is critical moving forward to show our local economy they have our support. Please don't take away what half of our society views as a valuable asset to dine outside and stay relatively safe .

Hello: My name is Kenny Wagener. I am an 8+ year resident of Balboa Island and saw the island weather the pandemic and — for the most part- make it through. Outdoor dining helped that. I needed outdoor dining. I was working from home and not interacting with anyone. My trip down to Wilma's Patio five times a week gave me a good meal and the needed human interaction I needed to keep some normalcy. But what was discovered during that period is the high demand for dining on the sidewalks. I believe it adds to the charm and atmosphere and lets local dining establishments showcase their cuisine without prospective patrons needing to walk inside. People strolling by glance down at the plates and their interest is piqued. Mine is in favor of continuing outdoor dining. It lets our local businesses "peak the peaks" — they can expand their dining during periods of high demand and shrink them when the island is quiet. With high labor costs and the ongoing economic uncertainty I feel we as a community should do what we can do to keep these valuable community assets viable for the months and years to come.

Hello Newport City Council, I'm Pete Weitzner, longtime resident of Balboa island. First, thank you all for your service. Really. Much appreciated in these contentious times. As an Island resident, I have seen what outdoor dining has done for our community. In a word, it's been a GODSEND. It's helped save businesses and jobs. It's restored the joie de vie, as it's so much more conducive to neighbors engaging each other at dinner, and in town. It doesn't detract from the aesthetic, just the opposite. And I know it's no coincidence, I see more people dining out during the week, with the addition of outdoor dining. The next person I talk to who's in opposition to outdoor/sidewalk dining, will be the first. Please approve and make permanent, this important asset to our community, to the tax base, to our prosperity and happiness.

Hi there, just a quick note that I would endorse allowing continued outdoor seating at restaurants. Beyond being important during the pandemic, it is just a wonderful way to enjoy the day in your idyllic part of the world. I live in Tucson and we have made a lot of additional patio space these last two years, some on sidewalks and other spots in courtyards. It is a huge draw for tourism to have these spots available in fresh open air. I visit Balboa Island yearly and I think you should embrace this small silver lining that arose from the pandemic.

To the NB City Council As a very happy Balboa Island resident, I am writing to you in reference to your consideration of the continued allowance of outdoor dining on our Island. I strongly believe the "al fresco" dining has added a lovely. quaint feeling to our community. I know it started as a health issue in response to the spreading of the awful Covid 19. It also also a way for the restaurants to stay open and thrive. I believe that most people will agree with me and support our local restaurants and merchants to continue with the outdoor dining. They offer a safe and healthy environment for us to gather, enjoy a good meal, and promote a strong economy here on the Island. The evenings on Marine Avenue are especially beautiful with the lights, heat lamps, and table settings adorning the sidewalks! I've also noticed that the sidewalks and streets are cleaner due to the restaurant's contant upkeep! For the past 2 years, I have not heard any negative comments about our new dining arrangements; quite the contrary - people love it! I for one would love to see more enhancements such as planters and more lighting! I am asking that you set policy to allow the continuance of outdoor dining on Balboa Island. Thank you.

Dear Newport Beach Clty Council, My name is Victoria Rihm and I am a resident of Balboa Island for many years now. I am writing this letter in support of the permitting of the outside sidewalk seating on Marine Avenue. I have been fortunate to have witnessed the transition of the Marine Avenue restaurants onto the sidewalks, which I believe has given the Island an even greater attractiveness and desire to eat outside on our beautiful island. Specifically, the Royal Hen restaurant has done an impeccable job in their outdoor set up, with beautiful chairs, plenty of space to move through, a clean sidewalk area, and a local spot to see locals and friends when walking by or driving on the island. now enjoy sitting outside on the patio facing the wonderful church and banana shops, and giving the island a European street vibe I so adore. I therefor highly request the continuation of the sidewalk seating on Marine Avenue for all the restaurants that have applied for permitting.

Mayor Muldoon and City Council Members, It is important that you to provide our local restaurants with the ability to thrive as we continue to experience restrictions necessary due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We are so fortunate to live in a climate where outdoor seating is possible year round which has enabled most of your local restaurants to continue to stay open and keep their employees, employed. While Balboa Island does present a different challenge, I have not observed anyone complaining about lack of access, on the contrary, I've only heard people express just how much they love the outdoor seating. They feel that if gives the island a warm and friendly atmosphere. Locals gathering outside their favorite restaurant is very inviting. As a resident of Balboa Island, I would like to encourage you to continue to support our local restaurants by allowing them to remain on the sidewalks at least through 2022.

I know the pandemic has been very difficult on businesses in our community. As a resident of Newport Beach, I enjoy the outdoor dining and wish it would continue. If businesses want to continue to utilize their outdoor dining area, I sure hope our city council lets it continue- small businesses could really use a break! Neighboring cities such as Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach have adopted a policy such as the one being presented today. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Laura and Jerry Marroquin, have opened up 22nd Street Pizza on the peninsula during the pandemic. I know their outdoor dining area is vital to their business. Please help them and all the small businesses with outdoor dining on the peninsula. Please allow them to keep their outdoor dining areas. Thank you in advance for your help!

Dear council As a 40+ year resident of CDM, I am strongly in favor and asking you please DO NOT remove the wonderful improvement to our community of outdoor sidewalk dining on Balboa Island! This seating has more benefits than obstacles. It has enhanced the desirability of the island 10 fold. It gives you a reason to want to go! It is a 100 percent positive for the island. It allows the city to benefit and gives the small restaurants and businesses a chance to thrive during a pandemic. It keeps people employed. Please find a way to keep the best thing that's happened to Balboa Island ever. This is nothing new. The most quaint and famous historical cities and towns enjoy sidewalk dining. It's common. There must be a way. Who could possibly want to add more disappointment to our little community? Haven't we all been through so much already? Thank you so much for your serious consideration!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing in advance of the council agenda item set for Tuesday, February 8th regarding the evaluation of outdoor/patio seating for restaurants situated on Balboa Island. The pandemic has been incredibly challenging on businesses as we all know. Newport Beach has led the Orange County market by staying focused on supporting our local businesses to help them get back on their feet after the devastating effects of the closures that have taken place throughout the past 2 years. The outdoor dining and patio seating that has been afforded to restaurants during this time has been essential and continues to be essential for our restaurants to thrive. Many people are still asking for outdoor seating options and will not patronize restaurants that do not offer that as an option or have adequate outdoor seating available. We have patronized several restaurants on the balboa peninsula throughout the pandemic and the outside seating areas have only enhanced the experience, both at the restaurant but the overall energy and liveliness of the peninsula. There is a sense of community that has been established, people laughing, eating and enjoying their times together. We have LOVED having the outdoor seating available and would highly recommend that you continue to support our restaurants and allow outdoor patio seating to continue. -Dianne Markis 909-240-9526 Received After Agenda Printed February 8, 2022 Item No. SS3 Mulvey, Jennifer From: Rieff, Kim Sent: February 07, 2022 7:56 AM To: Mulvey, Jennifer Subject: FW: Patio Seating on Balboa Island From: Lisa Jimenez <lisa@lisajcoaching.com> Sent: February 04, 2022 9:35 AM To: Dept - City Council <CityCouncil@newportbeachca.gov>; Lisa Jimenez <lisa@lisajcoaching.com> Subject: Patio Seating on Balboa Island [EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

As a resident of Newport Beach and a frequent diner at restaurants in Orange County, I feel it is imperative to continue to allow outdoor dining at resultants that do not have a existing place to do same. Since the start of the current pandemic, I have not eaten indoors in a restaurant, I have howeve enjoyed very much eating at restaurants, like the Royal Hen on Balboa Island, where they have created a lovely and safe outdoor dining atmosphere. I have health issues that put me at high risk of becoming seriously ill if I were to get Covid, therefore it is a matter of health for me. But I must also mention we live in a community where outdoor dining during the whole year is a gift, and taking it away will not only be a hazard to those of us with health concerns, but also financially hurt those restaurants that do not have a place to dine outdoors.

Dear Council Members: As long-time residents of Newport Beach we would like to encourage you to continue allowing on a permanent basis the sidewalk dining that has become such a welcome part of our City. Originally allowed in an effort to provide some "normalcy" in an otherwise abnormal last year or more, it begs the question "Why haven't we allowed this before?". It seems to have added additional charm and attractiveness to the community providing a source of comfort, community and neighborhood charm that has enhanced an already amazing City. As "locals" we are strongly in favor of allowing the continued use of these spaces to our restaurant businesses that deserve our support. Respectfully submitted, Bob McClellan Stephanie N.
