FROM: Assistant Director -Building & Engineering Geologist
SUBJECT: Cliff Drive Church Site
Pursuant to your request, we have visited the church site and
inspected the building and surrounding property. The building
exhibits little evidence of structural damage beyond normal settle-
ment and water damage resulting from leaking windows and rusted out
rain gutters. It is our opinion that the building was founded on
competent earth materials at the time of construction, and should
continue to be a usuable structure provided some remedial work is
conducted on the property adjacent to the site.
Settlement has occurred along the northerly side of the building
between the front of the structure and Cliff Drive. Settlement
has also occurred between the church and "The Wave" building to
the west. This settlement appears to be the result of placing
uncompacted or poorly compacted fill in these areas, resulting
in settlement of the area around thebuilding which subsequently
has damaged the sidewalks, exterior metal stairs and the lock -joint'
retaining wall.
Future settlement can be minimized by conducting minor grading on
the site to insure positive drainage away from the building.
In addition, ponding of surface waters should be eliminated. This
can be accomplished by the installation of three (3) to four (4)
catch basins and P.V.C. drain lines to conduct the water to the •
parking lot.
Attached for your convenience is our previous report on this
property which was prepared prior to City acquisition.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us.

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE•TO CLIFF DRIVE CHURCH SITE
Dick, as you know, the City has acquired the old Baptist Church site
on Cliff Drive, and will be converting that site into a park in the
future months and years. Presently, we have plans to develop the
easterly segment of the site for a Bicentennial Dedication ceremony
sometime in July.
In considering the overall Master Plan for the entire site, the
question arises as to whether or not the church building itself should
remain. The existing lease with the Baptist Church expires May 31,
1976 and we must make a determination as to whether to preserve the
building or whether to remove it.
One of the reasons for removal consideration is that after the church
was constructed, some $30,000 was spent on trying to stabilize the
soil around the building. In other words, it was built on unstable soil
and serious settling occurred.
This leads me up to my question.
able to investigate the building
has stabilized or whether damage
I wonder if Dutch Holton might be
and determine whether the settling
is still occurring to the building.
This is not something that must be done in the next day or two, but in
order to give us some determination on masterplanning the total area,
we would like to have his input to guide us in our thoughts.
As soon as he is able to make this exploration, I would appreciate
hearing from you.

Dear Mr. Fuller:
SUBJECT: Site Preparation and Grading at "Cliff Drive
Church Site".
•
This letter has been written pursuant to your request for an
estimate of, costs for grading -related activities for' an
assumed residential development as shown on the attached
sketch.
Certain physical evidence on the site indicates that some
uncontrolled fill has been placed on the property. However,
it is••assumed, from• discussions'with City personnel who .
have lived and worked in this area for numerous years, that
this• fill 'was probably placed in old drainage courses as• .
a form 'of temporary erosion control.. These fills are
probably very limited in areal extent but may vary in depth
from 5 to 15 feet.
Based on, these assumptions, the City of Newport Beach woul-d
require that•any grading conducted on.the site be in accordance
with the prdvisions of Chapter 70 of the Uniform Building
Code and the estimated cost4 of this work is as follows: ...
•
1. Geotechnical Work, including -
•(Preliminary Report, grading
inspections, Compaction
Control and final approvals.)
2. Earth Work
a) Removal of uncontrolled fill
and disposal
b) Rough grading
c) Fine grading
$2,000
500 CYt $1 ,000
1200 CY± $3,000

3. Drainage Devices
(Terrace and interceptor) 500 LF $3,500 -
4. Grading Permit $100
$10,100 -
Although, some remedial work would be required to develop
this property as assumed, -the site can also be•made a buildable
s.tte for other alternate plans that may be desired.. The cost .
for alternate development plans would, of course;'vary '
according to the type -of development proposed. • "
In my opinion the earth materials forming the geologic formation .
beneath the site are suitable for residential or recreational._
use provided earthwork construction on the site is -performed
in accordance•with•the provisions of Chapter 70 of. .the. Uniform .
Building Code. ' -
