Address 62 Linda Isle
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 redline plan set,
available for pick up at the Permit Center at City Hall during business hours.
2. Coastal Hazards Report and Bulkhead Conditions Report.
a. Sheet A-4 of the residence plans identify a “seawall” under the deck (landside),
which is separate from the proposed stem wall bulkhead. Please explain if this
seawall is required and any related construction—all plans/reports should be
updated with the explanation regarding the seawall. Identify any minimum
required elevations for the seawall, if applicable
b. Conclusion on Bulkhead Conditions Report and Coastal Hazards Report
currently states that the bulkhead be “repaired/reinforced/raised” as reflected on
the enclosed Drawings . . . “; however, please revise to include a definitive
recommendation. Considering that the cantilever deck will be entirely
reconstructed and the stem wall is new, will the bulkhead also require
reconstruction? Update to reflect intended proposal for construction.

61. 1 Height certification inspection required? Yes No If so, add note to elevations stating Height Certification
Required.
62. Provide topographic survey (stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor) to establish slope and average grade or, use subdivision grading plan, if applicable.
63. Provide a sheet showing the outline of the proposed structure over a topographic survey to verify determination of slope and grade to be used for measuring height.
64.
Provide slope of the lot. The slope of a lot shall be determined using a four-sided polygon that most closely approximates the actual footprint of the proposed structure. The area of the four-sided polygon shall not be smaller than the footprint of the proposed structure and shall be located entirely within the buildable area of the lot. Identify the elevation points from survey and distance used to calculate slope.
65. 1
Establishment of Grade (Five Percent or Less Slope)- The grade of the surface from which structure height is measured shall be a plane established using the average of the elevations at each corner of the four-sided polygon. Example: A + B + C + D = X; X/4 = Established grade elevation from which to measure structure height. Identify the four points used to determine grade plane on site plan and illustrate average grade calculation. Please see markup on the topographic survey for points to interpolate to establish grade. The proposed established grade does not appear to represent the proposed
building footprint; some referenced points could also not be located on the topographic survey. Please re-establish the grade and update plans and all elevaiton sheets accordingly. NOTE: Please redesign the proposal if the new established grade
results in an overheight strucuture.
66.
Establishment of Grade (More than Five Percent Slope)- The established grade from which structure height is measured shall be a plane established by determining the elevation of the lot at five evenly spaced points along each of the two side property lines and connecting each of the points along a side property line with the corresponding point on the opposite side property line. The five evenly spaced points along each side property line shall be located so that one point is located at the intersection of the front setback line with the side property line and another point is located at the intersection of the rear setback line with the side property line. The other three points along the side property line shall be located so that all five points are equidistant from each other. Provide a grade plane exhibit per the methodology above and clearly identify the survey points used to establish the grade plane.
67. 1 Label the established grade on all elevation sheets. Label new established grade per Correction No. 65.
68. For lots with a more than 5 percent slope, plot roof plan over established grade plan exhibit to assist with
determination of grade points located directly below ridge peaks, roof areas and/or parapets.
69. Label interpolated grade points (based on established grade plane) below any critical ridge, parapet, etc.
70. 1
Dimension heights from established grade to: top of flat roof ridge peak all roof top equipment

Comments: SW-1. Confirm scope of work is replacement construction of bulkhead. Plans call out "addition to exisitng bulkhead." A-4.1 Side Section 1, references an exisitng
seawall under the deck that is in addition to the proposed bulkhead. Clarify if this is a second required seawall to protect the property and identify the proposal on the bulkhead plans and residence plans. The bulkhead conditions report
should also clarify the proposal for the subject seawall under the deck and detail any required construction.
SW-1. Remove all dimensions to +/-. Dimensions on plans are to be precise. SW-1. Verify site plan and wall elevation match. On the right side, the deck
appears to extend all the way to the side property line, whereas the site plan shows a 5-foot separation. If this is due to a graphic representation, please clarify on plan set.
SW-2. For each of the Sections, add proposed elevations as shown in markup. Plot the exisitng grade of the deck as well to demonstrate height of the guardrail will
not exceed 42 inches from existing grade prior to construction. FYI--Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the property owner shall submit a
notarized signed letter acknowledging all hazards present at the site, assuming the risk of injury or damage from such hazards, unconditionally waiving any claims of damage against the City from such hazards, and to indemnify and hold harmless
City, its City Council, its boards and commissions, officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments, fines, penalties,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorney’s fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly or indirectly) to City’s approval of
development. This letter shall be scanned into the plan set prior to building permit issuance.
Please be advised due to the incompleteness and inconsistencies of the plan set, further corrections are expected during the second round of review.
