Dear Mr. Ware:
Please find attached your approval in concept for the bulkhead
construction at 1907 through 191.3 Last Bay Avenue. You will
need this and the two signed drawings for the Coastal Commission
Permit.
In addition, you will need to apply for a Section 10 Permit from
the Army Corps of Engineers. Contact them via Bob Atkins at
(213) 688.5606 for their forms.
You will also need to contact the Regional Water Quality Control
Board at 6809 Indiana„ Suite 200, Riverside 92506 and the
State Lands Commission at 1807 13th Street, Sacramento 95814.
Both of these agencies generally require a short descriptive
letter describing the proposed project and two drawings (the
same drawings you submitted to the City should suffice),
After you have received approval from these agencies, then the
City can issue its final permit„
If .you have any questions regarding the above, please call me
at 640-21.560

FROM: Marine Department
SUBJECT: HARBOR PERMIT APPLICATION NUMBERS 109-1907 BY WILLIAM WARE,
109-1909 BY HENRY BUCKINGHAM, 109-1911 BY SYD BUTTON AND
109-1913 BY DON RUSSELL TO CONSTRUCT A WOOD RETAINING WALL
BAYWARD OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RESIDENCES.
Recommendation:
If desired,
1. Approve the application, subject to approval of the Army Corps of
Engineers and the Coastal Commission.
2: Deny the,application as proposed and approve the alternative number
I, that the applicants relocate the retaining wall to the bayward
line of "Vacated East Bay Avenue" -which -is at a location 30 feet
bayward of each residence.
Background:
The City Council Harbor Permit Policies, Section 16 BULKHEADS states:
"A. All bulkheads in residential districts shall be installed on estab-
lished bulkhead lines, or at a location behind the bulkhead line that
would preserve the design profile of the harbor. Any retaining or
ornamental wall installed landward of the bulkhead line shall.be considered
a bulkhead if it also serves to contain the.waters of the harbor and shall
be processed in the same manner as if it were on the bulkhead line.
The Marine Department may issue permits for bulkheads, between U.S.
Bulkhead Station numbers 112 through 109, not to exceed the bayward side
of the "Vacated East Bay Avenue". Concrete bulkheads and wooden retain-
ing wall structures proposed to be constructed bayward of the bayward
most line of "Vacated East Bay Avenue", shall be subject to City Council
approval."
The above quoted paragraphs of Section 16 were amended by the City Council in
1973. The Council, in amending these sections, made the findings that bulk -
heading along the easterly portion of the Balboa Peninsula should be at a
location that would preclude sand fill over an inter -tidal zone that was
subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. In addition, it has been Council's
desire to retain existing sandy sloping beaches.

August 24, 1981 City Council
On October 1, 1979 the applicants above submitted a proposal to the City
Council for the construction of the wood retaining wall as now proposed. The
City Council continued the application till November 26, 1979 for further /..�.
study regarding the effects of bulkheading on the harbor. On November 26, 1979
the Marine Department submitted a revised staff report setting out as alternative
actions,approval of the .applicants original proposal, the alternative number 1
listed above and denial of the application. The City Council denied the appli-
cation.
Discussion:
If the Council desires to approve the application as submitted, there are the
following advantages:
The applicant(s) increases the level useable zone immediately in
front of their homes. Historically, very little public „use has
been made of the inter -tidal zone bayward of these homes because
of intensive pier and slip installations. Additionally, the
property in question is fee owned by the applicants.
Placement of the retaining wall (bulkhead) at a location proposed
by the applicant will create a more even quasi bulkhead line. This.
is viewed by the property owners as more esthetically desirable.
If Council approves alternate number 1, there are the following advantages:
1. This location would place the retaining wall (bulkhead) outside the
jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers and other State and
Federal reviewing agencies which might comment on U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers' Section, 10 permits. This would save the applicants
three to six months of permit acquisition time.
2. The City's Marine Department would be able to issue .the permit
administratively.
3. The existing beach berm line (the line where the beach begins
sloping bayward) averages 10 to 15 feet bayward of the bayward most
line of "Vacated East Bay Avenue". If the retaining wall is
located on this line, the City and applicants alike would have a
small width of level sand beach against the bayward side of the
bulkhead at approximately a +9 M.L.L.W. This sand will slough off
toward the bay. However, it typically would assume a sand profile
approximating a 7-1 slope from the top of the bulkhead to approx-
imately a 2.0 M.L.L.W.
The further landward bulkheads or retaining walls are located in
relationship to.the existing berm line, the less future maintenance
dredging is required in order to retain sand against the face of the
wall.and assure a sandy sloping beach profile.

Recommendation

Discussion
The above listed permit applications for the construction
of a wood retaining wall came before the City Council on October 1,
1979.. At that meeting, it was continued until November 26, 1979.
When it came again before the Council, it was denied.
On December 10, 1979, the Marine Department received a letter
(attached) from one of the four applicants, Mr. William Ware, requesting
a refund of three of the four application fees required by the Marine
Department. Section 17.24.040 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code deals
with this situation as follows:
"C. FEE. Each application shall be accompanied by a fee in
an amount established by the City Council by resolution.
Fees shall:not be returnable to th applicant whether or not
the permit is granted. (Ord. 1602 6, 975:. Ord. 1286 � 8.
1968: Ord. 1090 (part) 1964: 1949 Code 1 10401)."
These permits are somewhat unique for two ,reasons
1. The Marine Department requested that all four permits be sub-
mitted as a group, but that there be one permit and one fee for each
applicant. This was done to facilitate submission to the City Council
and to assist in regulation in the future. This resulted in a total
fee paid for all four applicants of $1,1.20.00 ($280.00 X 4= $1,120..00).
2. Because the permits were for retaining walls (i.e. bulkheads)
the Newport Beach Harbor Permit Policies require an additional fee of
$2.50 for each lineal foot of the bulkhead, which came to an additional
$343.75. (137.5' of bulkhead X $2.50= $343.75)
The four applicants, therefore, paid a total of $1,463.75 ($1,120.00 +
$343.75). The four permits were.processed by the Marine Department
Mayor and City Council -2- January 7, 1980
essentially as one permit for which the Newport Beach Harbor Permit Policies
sets the fee at $280.00, and add to this the charge for the total run of
bulkhead at $343.75, a more accurate figure for the cost to process this
particular application would be $623.75, arrived at as follows:
$280.00 Cost to process permit to City Council
+343.75 .. Cost of lineal footage of bulkhead
T623.75
If the Council felt this was an equitable figure, the applicant
could receive a refund of $840.00 arrived at as follows:
$1,463.75 Amount paid
- 623.75 One fee and bulkhead cost
840.06 Possible refund

Alternative Actions
If desired, approve the applications as submitted to the City Council
on October 9, 1979, subject to the condition that the applicants
maintain a sand beach bayward of the proposed wall.
If desired, approve the applications subject to the applicants
relocating the wall landward to the bayward line of "Vacated East
Bay Avenue", which is at a location 30 feet in front of lots 4,
5, parcel 1, and parcel 2 respective.
3. Deny the applications.
Discussion
The City Council, on October 9, 1979, reviewed these four Harbor Permit
applications. The Council continued the matter until November 26, 1979,
with the request for further information. The Marine Department has
listed alternative number 2, as stated above, to give the Council a
possible additional course of action.
The City Council Harbor Permit Policies, Section 16 BULKHEADS states:
"A. All bulkheads in residential district shall be installed on
established bulkhead lines, or at a location behind the bulkhead
line that would preserve the design profile of the harbor. Any
retaining or ornamental wall installed landward of the bulkhead
line shall be considered a bulkhead if it also serves to contain
the waters of the harbor and shall be processed in the same manner
as if it were on the bulkhead line.
The Marine Department may issue permits for bulkheads, between
U. S. Bulkhead Stations Nos. 112-109 not to exceed the bayward
side of the "Vacated East,,Bay Avenue". Concrete bulkheads and
wooden retaining wall structures proposed to be constructed bay -
ward of the bayward most line of "Vacated East Bay Avenue", shall
be subject to City Council approval."
The above quoted paragraphs of Section 16 were amended by the City Council
in 1973. The Council in amending these sections made the findings that
bulkheading along the easterly portion of the Balboa peninsula should be
at a location that would preclude sand fill over an inter -tidal zone
Mayor and City Council -2- November 26, 1979
that was subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. In addition, it has
been Council's desire to retain existing sandy sloping beaches bayward
of any bulkhead or retaining walls.
If the Council desires to approve alternate action number 1, there are
the following advantages. These are:
2.
The applicant(s) increases the level useable zone immediately
in front of their homes. Historically, very little public
use has been made of the inter -.tidal zone bayward of these
homes because of intensive pier and slip installations.
Additionally, the property in question is fee owned by the
applicants.
Placement of the retaining wall (bulkhead) at a location
proposed by the applicant will create a more even quasi bulk-
head line.This is viewed by the,property..owners as more e.s,the-
tically desirable.
The applicants have agreed to maintain a sandy sloping beach
bayward of the proposed wall at a +3 M.L.L.W. elevation as
recommended by staff in the October report. This elevation
could be practially increased to an elevation of +4.60 M.L.L.W,
which is the Mean High Water or ordinary high tide line in
Newport Harbor.
If the applicants could agree to relocating the retaining wall 20. feet
landward to be consistent with alternative action number 2, the following
advantages exist:
This location would place the retaining wall (bulkhead) outside
the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers and other State
and Federal reviewing agencies which might comment on U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers' Section 10 permits. This would save the
applicants 3 to 6 months of permit acquisition time.
2. The City's Marine Department would be able to issue the permit
administratively.
The existing beach berm line (the line where the beach begins
sloping bayward) averages 10-15 feet bayward of the bayward
most line of "Vacated East Bay Avenue If the retaining wall
is located on this line, the City and applicants alike would
have a small width of level sand beach against the bayward side
of the bulkhead at approximately a +g M.L.L.W. This sand
will slough -off toward the bay, however it typically would
assume.a.sand profile approximating a 7-1 slope from the top
of the bulkhead to approximately a _2.0 M.L.L.W.
The further landward bulkheads or retaining walls are located
in relationship to the existing berm line, the less future
maintenance dredging is required in order to retain sand
against the face of the wall and assure a sandy sloping beach
profile

TO: FILE
FROM: Marine Director
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL HARBOR PERMIT POLICIES; SECTION 16 BULKHEADS,
BALBOA PENINSULA.
The City Council in June of 1973 amended Section 16, and
added the second paragraph under subsection A which reads as follows:
"The Marine Department may issue permits for bulkheads,
between U.S. Bulkhead Station Numbers 112-109 not to
exceed the bayward side of the "Vacated East Bay Avenue."
Concrete bulkheads and wooden retaining wall structures
proposed to be constructed bayward of the bayward most
line of vacated East Bay Avenue shall be subject to
City Council approval."
There are four reasons or findings that the Council made in
amending the Policies as stated above. These are:
1. To preclude the possibility of excessive sand fill over tide-
lands.
2. Maintain a basic bulkhead line, so as to avoid a seasaw shore-
line configuration,
3. Retention of existing sand sloping energy absorbing beaches.
4. Retention of the public easement over a portion of private
property which is submerged. Note: (re: First American
Title Insurance Company) there is an easement which generally
says that at such time that said submerged lands are filled,
in conformance with all applicable permits, to an elevation
above the line or ordinary high tide, the public easement
exception will hereby be eliminated.
Vacated East Bay Avenue is located immediately bayward of the
existing residential homes and extends from "A" Street, to 61o�ks /ta`
east of "K" Street on the peninsula. The strip is 30 feet in width,
and was vacated by City Resolution No. 4751 on February 24, 1958, and
Resolution No. 4678 on August 26, 1957. The existing submerged lots
bayward of Vacated East Bay Avenue are owned in fee by the contiguous
upland.__property owners. These lots vary in length from approximately
15 f e et (A through C Streets) to as much as 100 feet (F -G Streets).
The U.S. Bulkhead line, which was established by the U.S. Army
Corp of Engineers, is located from 55 feet to as much as 140 feet bayward
of the zoning setback line of the homes located in this zone.
File -2- October '5, 1979
The City Council, on September 13, 1976 directed staff to review
Harbor Permit Policies Section 16,,Bulkheads, with the Environmental
Quality Citizens Advisory Committee, and to take their recommendations
to the Tidelands Affairs Committee prior to disposition with Council.
The Environmental Quality Citizens Advisory Committee recommended
that the first paragraph of the Council Policy dealing with bulkheads be
amended and that the following wording be added:
"In residential zones having an existing sandy sloping beach
profile, bulkheads or retaining walls shall be placed at such
a location that retains an inter -tidal zone bayward of the
bulkhead, The maintenance of the inter -tidal or sand sloping
profile bayward of the bulkhead or retaining wall is the
responsibility of the upland harbor permitee."
The Tidelands Affairs Committee reviewed this recommendation,
and made a substitute recommendation to the City Council. Their
recommendation was to leave the first paragraph as is. In the second
paragraph they recommended that all permits for bulkheads between
Bulkhead Station Numbers 112 and 109 be approved by City Council, and
they also recommended that concrete bulkheads and wooden retaining wall
structures shall be placed at a location that does not alter the sloping
sand beach profile of this zone. The maintenance of a typical sand beach
profile bayward of the structure shall be the responsibility of the
harbor permitee.
On January 24, 1977 the City Council reviewed the recommendations
of the Environmental Quality Citizens Advisory Committee as well as the
Tidelands Affairs Committee and recommended that the prior existing policy
be reaffirmed and that no change be made.

109-1909 BY HENRY BUCKINGHAM, 109-1911 BY MARTHA BUTTON, AND
109-1913 BY DON RUSSELL TO CONSTRUCT A WOOD RETAINING WALL.
Recommendation
If desired, approve the application subject to:
1. The approval of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
2. The.applicant maintain a sand beach bayward of the proposed
wall With a.minimum elevation of +3.00 MLLW at-the..wali.
Discussion
This application is being brought to the Council for action in compliance
with Section 16A of the Harbor Permit Policies which states:
"The Marine Safety Department may issue permits for bulkheads,
between the U.S. Bulkhead Station Numbers 112-109 not to exceed
the bayward side of the "Vacated East Bay Avenue". Concrete
bulkheads and wood retaining wall structures proposed to be
constructed bayward of the bayward most line of Vacated East
Bay Avenue shall be subject to City Council approval."
As shown on the permit drawing, a wood retaining wall presently exists at
1905 East Bay Avenue. This is westerly of and adjacent to the subject
properties. This wall extends bayward of Vacated Bay Avenue 20 feet.
The applicants propose to connect to this existing wall, and extend the
retaining wall in an easterly direction till it connects with a concrete
bulkhead at 1915 East Bay Avenue.
The Marine Department staff has inspected the site, and feels that the
proposed wall. will not unalterably affect this zone. The present berm
line of the sand varies Prom 2't bayward of the proposed wall location.
Condition Nro. 2 listed above.should insure the preservation of an inter-
tidal beach bayward of the retaining wall.
In addition to this, staff met on site with representatives of the State
Fish and Game, National Marine Fisheries Institute and the Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife. It was the consensus of these agencies, that the
Mayor and City Council -2- October 1, 1979
retaining wall as proposed would be acceptable to them.

FROM: Tidelands Administrator
SUBJECT: PROPOSED RETAINING WALL
On Tuesday August 28 at 1:30 P.M. at the request of
Ken Sampson, who is representing Mr. Buckingham, the property
owner at 1911.East Balboa Blvd, a meeting was held in my
office and on site to discuss'the proposed bulkhead. Attending
this meeting were representatives of the State Fish and Game
Department, the National Marine Fisheries Institute, and the
B.ureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. The purpose of this
meeting was to obtain. preliminary comments from these agency's
representatives regarding the proposed bulkhead.
During the meeting in my office the proposed project
was outlined: The City's positions and requirements regarding
this proposed project were discussed with the applicant and the
agency representatives. During the on-site meeting, the agency's
general': requirements were outlined to the applicant in addition
to concerns regarding bulkheading and fill of
possible wetlands. As a result of the visual observations on
site, it was the consensus of the State and Federal agencies
involved that the retaining walla at the approximate location of
the existing bermawould not be opposed by M.os ,:,.:-. The
City's position was outlined again to the applicant regarding
the bulkheading of sandy beaches on the Balboa peninsula, and
the applicant was informed that the City's application process
could possibly, be the most difficult of the agencies the
applicant wash obtain permits from. Mr. Sampson indicated that
his client would perform a survey to determine elevations of
the existing beach profile, and these would be submitted along
with an application. The meeting was then concluded.

done within the parameters of the Corps of Engineers permit. The dredging
contractor will place a filter screen around the discharge site to control
turbidity. There is no eel grass in the vicinity of the project.
All dredged material will be placed on adjacent beaches. This will aide in
the restoration of beaches bayward of a private residence.

The environmental management history of water-
front housing developments on man -dredged canals
in the United States echoes a litany of ecological.
problems beginning to be heard in Australia. A
comparison of canal estate developments in the two
countries suggests that geographic features associated
with sites developed in Australia may increase the
risk of environmental and public health problems.
The issue of decreased public access to the coastal
gone associated with these developments is also
discussed. Steps taken in the United States to
alleviate some of these problems are indicated.
'The Venice of America' it was called by the American real
estate developer Albert Kinney when he christened his
project of waterfront homes bordering canals in 1904. The
canals had been freshly cut from the marshes of Ballarat
Creek, oil the hayside edge of Los Angeles, California.
I laving persuaded local merchants and restaurateurs to
build facilities herewith fronts, at least, in the architectural
style of the Venetian Renaissance' (Adler, 1969, p I I),
Kinney proceeded to import 24 gondoliers from old Venice,
replete with silverprowed gondolas and repertoires of
Italian so ll;s, to ply the waters of the canals. The early
days ..f tine canal estate development were promoted by
iugwt is of Anmican culture as well, as'Benjamin Fay
:Hills, :n popular ev:utgelist, came to preach ... and Helen
I lust Jackson, gave a series of lectures un the Mission
htdiaus' (Adler, 1969, p 1 1). Indeed, according to one
repurt (Mayo, 1973.p?O6),even '...Sarah Ilernhardl,
sunotm (led by but sands, salt water and Kansas farmers, the
Divine Sarah, did her Muffin Camille and other inaster-
ptece,.' Although the local reaction to the cultural ul'fer-
1119' wa; mixed, he 'Venice' housing project was an innned-
t.ar khallcitd success, and sold USS386,000 fn real estate by
Novonbcr, 1904 (Adler, 1969). _
Wuhui a few short years, however, Kinney's fantasy bubble
had i-ppcd — a result of gross lack ol'consideration for'

e ual y stagnant economic conditions. A propusal has been
put 1'urwat, to'redevelop' the area with latter-day 'canal
estates' (Los Angeles City Board of Works, 1973).
It is clearly important that the new canal develupment
build on the lessons of past errors. The import tnce is
underscored by the fact that the past decade has seen a
blossoming of canal estate developments, both in the United
States and in Australia, which has enjoyed sufficient
financial success so that continued construction is assured.
In the present account, I propose to draw upon personal
observations ul'cstate developments in. southern California
(Newport Beach, Balboa, Huntington Beach, Naples,
Channel Islands area (Oxnard), Mandalay Bay (Oxnard),
Oxnard Shores, and Ventura Keys), and published accounts
of canal developments in Texas (Galveston Bay development,
1960s) and Florida (Boca Ciega Bay development near
Tampa, 1950s and early 1960s) to summarize major
environmental problems encountered. 1 hope to illustrate,
its 1 proceed, some of the implications these problems pose
for canal estate developments currently underway in
Australia.
Since the 1960s canal estates have proliferated rapidly in
Australia. In the eastern subtropical region alone, there cave
been two major developments at Southport, and large
projects at Mooluolaba, f4aroochydore and Noosa (Qld) and
Yamba (NSW); plans were under way for a major project at
Darwin before the 1974 cyclone. As an example of the scale
and pace ol'such developments, the Kawana Waters develop-
ment at Muoloolaba has created 500 home sites along 10 kin
of canals since 1971, as part of a development planned to
extend over 2400 ha; along I I km of beachfront, by the
year 2000. 'file Queensland Government has commissioned
a Coastal Management Investigation to determine, to part,
the expected demand and impact of canal estate development
in that State. I know of no nationwide data, however, on
the current and projected trends in demand for this land use
in the Australian coastal zone.
Although these developments differ importantly in the
nature of the wi terbudier on which they build, all have in
common the design feature of providin g aro ortit^ r— n of

coastal canal systems of tine type being discussed have
access at least at one end to open ocean or coastal bay. In
America, these developments are must commonly referred
to as'walerfronl developments' or'marina developments',
whereas in Australis they are commonly called 'canal
estates'.

rather than in the mangrove areas, creating a 'hiring insect'

the increase in rood supply provided by the increased

(hl this point, two different but equally irrepressible canal
estate salesmen in Queensland, on different occasions, told
ale that they were not worried about the hiring midge
problem, since the more peopte were persuaded ill move in,
the fewer bites there would be per person. It seemed a
strange sense of humor.
Application of inseeticidcs to control the biting insects may
pose hazards to other members of the ecosystem. A larva-

The issue of public access

aroused by the fact that the canal estates are Shoed to
destroy acres of formerly publicly -held preserves of native
wallum swamp highly valued as wildflower and bird -
watching areas.
II is commonly the case in southern Culirornia that new
canal estate developments have private canals, with the
homes Sufficiently close together to prevent public access
to the canals (Figure 2). This is a relatively recelit trend in
southern California, since in the early developmcns (Venice,
1904; Naples, 1903) canals were flanked by public promen-
ades and were purposely designed as public werclniun
meas. The trend lit public exclusion in C'alitirnia coastal
developments is such that quite commonly at present [lie

The recent trend for construction of wider and deeper
cau:ds is likely to mitigate sante of the problems of poor

ensure that excessive sedimentation of silt and clay in canal

necessary. Some canals may require pumped aeration to
