Re: Proposed Boundary Line Agreement
2808 Lafayette Avenue, Newport Beach
Lots 5 & 6, Block 425, Lancaster's Addition
Dear Ms.
On June 2013, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach ( "City ") took formal action to
support 2808 Lafayette Avenue, LLC's ( "LLC ") April 25, 2013 request to the State Lands
Commission to enter into a boundary line agreement related to Lots 5 & 6 in Block 425 in
Lancaster's Addition (consolidated by Parcel Map recorded at Book 95, page 44 of Parcel
Maps) ( "Property ").
The LLC provided the City with a survey of the boundaries of the Property. The eastern
boundary of the Property is coincident with the Bulkhead Line established by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers established initially in 1936 and reaffirmed in 1951. The City has treated the
Bulkhead Line along the Rhine Channel as the boundary between the navigable waters which
the City administers and the private property which is not subject to the public trust. This was
affirmed in the prior Boundary Line Agreement 54 entered into between the City, the State
Lands Commission, and Coast Capital, Inc. with regard to Block 324 of Lancaster's Addition,
which is the Block immediately south of Block 425 and within 160 feet of the Property.
Accordingly, the City has determined that it supports, and if necessary is willing to enter into, a
boundary line agreement between the LLC and the State Lands Commission relating to the
easterly boundary between the Property and the adjacent public tidelands. Based upon
available information, the City is willing to establish the boundary at the Property lines as
designated in the Tract Map for Lancaster's Addition which are also designated on the Parcel
Map recorded at Book 95, Page 44 of Parcel Maps, Official Records, Orange County. The
proposed boundary is depicted on the enclosed Property map.
Therefore, the City supports the LLC's request to establish a boundary line agreement related to
the Property in accordance with the request of the LLC dated April 3, 2013.
