Re: Newport Landing Marina
New Live Bait Receiver
Dear David,
Dear David,
I wanted to take a minute out today to express a very warm and sincere thank you to you for your
time last Thursday afternoon, for your attitude and for your responsiveness in regard to the bait
receiver for the Newport Landing Marina. I also greatly appreciate' you volunteering to
contribute $1,000 toward a $2,500 California Coastal Commission application should we elect
to process one at a later date.
The Thirteen month process of attempting to do it right and process our application through the
City and the Harbor Resources Division was most frustrating however I am so excited with the
end result and knowing that we will be able to sell live bait from our fuel dock shortly. Without
this addition, our fuel dock tenant would probably not survive thereby eliminating one of the
three remaining fuel docks in Newport Harbor.
I am so excited and optimistic about the future of our City in your good and caring hands.
Warm regards,
�vSS.�..._.�

SUBJECT: Sediment Concerns at Newport Landing Marina - 503 E. Edgewater Place
Dear Mr. Salisbury:
Thank you bringing forth your concern that the recent utility undergrounding construction
activity has increased sand levels by the Newport Landing Marina. Upon receiving your Fetter,
City Engineering staff researched the issue in detail including review of the construction
practices employed, inspection logs; and photos documenting the activity that took place
within the vicinity of 503 E. Edgewater Place. Engineering staff also conducted a site review
and interviewed the project inspector with regard to this issue.
The referenced construction activity at Adams Street, Edgewater Place and surrounding vicinity
took place in February and March 2009. Due to strict requirements set forth by the Santa Ana
Regional Water Quality Board, any water entering Newport Bay must be clean water, and free
of debris, sediments or pollutants. All construction -related de -watering discharges were
required, and did, pass through a "settling basin" where any deleterious material, such as sand,
mud or other debris was removed. The type of "settling basin" used on the project is known as
a Baker tank. Enclosed with this letter is a photograph of the Baker tank used.
Additionally, as part of Best Management Practices and Monitoring Program for the project,
several other water pollution control practices were in place to insure the storm drain system
was free of construction debris. The Inspector's Daily Report records that all roadways were
swept on a daily basis by the contractor, standing water was vacuumed up, and all storm drain
inlets were covered with a filter fabric to prevent any material from entering the bay.
Furthermore, the storm drain inlets and access points were regularly checked for signs of
infiltrated material to ensure our sediment and debris control were properly working. Our
3300 Newport Boulevard • Post Office Box 1768 • Newport Beach, California 92658-8915
Telephone: (949) 644-3311 • Fax: (949) 644-3318 • www.city.newport-beach.ca.us
recent follow-up field review also verified that there were no signs of sediment deposits or
build-up at the outlet of the Adams Street storm drain pipe into the bay. Had there been sand
washing out of the pipe, it would have filled in all the joins of the erosion control rocks at the
end of the pipe. (photo attached)
Given the above referenced facts, records, and field reviews, it is evident any sand level
increase, in or adjacent to Newport Landing Marina would not be a result of the recent
underground utility construction. I would point out that this appears to be an issue raised by
Marinas and dock owners from time to time throughout the bay. With the changes in tides,
currents and other factors, sand levels tend to shift and change with time and occasional
localized dredging may be required to maintain necessary water depths to support business
activities in your area.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our Project Engineer, Iris Lee,
at (949) 644-3323 for further discussion.
Sincerely,
PEAS Works Director

Dear Chris,
Landing Associates is the owner of the leasehold interest of the Newport Landing development
in Newport Beach located at 503 E. Edgewater Avenue on the Balboa Peninsula. Our
commercial pier permit account number is 6003685-00 and all fees are paid current through

uses.
We wish to expand our live bait sales through our current fuel dock tenant and have enclosed
herewith bait receiver drawings showing their size, design and location.
We would greatly appreciate your approval of the drawings so that we might be in a position to
promptly manufacture and install the receivers prior to the prime summer season. Thank you!

Title 17 HARBOR CODE*
Chapter 17.30 HARBOR USE REGULATIONS
17.30.030 Live Bait.
A. Live Bait Receivers Defined. A live bait receiver is an object for confining live bait which is
afloat in the waters of Newport Harbor or the Pacific Ocean, either moored to a pier, bulkhead or
sea wall, or moored by means of an anchor or other weight to the bottom of the harbor or ocean;
provided, however, that a live bait receiver shall not be deemed to be a "structure" within the
meaning of Chapter 17.50.
B. Requirements for Live Bait Receivers. All live bait receivers used within the waters of Newport
Harbor shall be provided with screen trays in the bottom thereof sous to retain all dead bait
within the receiver which can be raised to dispose of the dead bait. All live bait receivers within
the City shall also have a screen or solid cover which fits closely unless the receiver is completely
covered by a roof.
C. Nonconforming Bait Receivers. Storage of live bait other than in a receiver conforming to the
requirements hereof is prohibited. After three days' written notice to the owner of a
nonconforming receiver, it may be removed by the Harbor Resources Manager and stored at the
expense of the owner.
D. Commercial Bait Boats and Receivers. All boats used to catch or furnish live bait or receivers
shall, at all times, have aboard a covered receptacle in which shall be placed all dead bait. No
person shall commercially operate a bait boat or a bait receiver without first obtaining a r
qQJillilip to Chapter 17.10. Bait tanks on such boats when containing bait shall
be covered at all times when in Newport Harbor by a cover which fits closely over the top except
while bait is actually being transferred to or from the tank.
E. Disposal of Bait. No person shall place or allow to be placed any live or dead bait in the
unconfined waters of Newport Harbor except when it is attached to a hook or hooks in the act of
fishing.
F. Transfer of Live Bait. No person shall transfer live bait from one vessel to another vessel or
sell the same at retail from a vessel within the limits of Newport Harbor, except when all vessels
involved are moored to a pier and are within the pierhead line, except that during a period of
adverse conditions of sea or beaches causing the transfer from offshore receivers to be
hazardous, a location inside the harbor may be used with the approval of the Harbor Resources
Manager. (Ord. 2008-2 § 1 (part), 2008)

I don't believe for a minute that a single city councilperson would put up with sitting on
these docks if it were their property -- nor would you. Quite simply, it is a health hazard
and it cannot be allowed to continue. My next letters and calls will be to the Orange
County Health Department and the city councilpersons responsible for this area if we can't
resolve this matter quickly. Thank you for your help with this problem.

Ifk is not replaced inmvAiately, Chris will levy the lirst line of $100.00. If the cover
is on order, he will accept a copy old your purchase order or a confirmation from the supplier.
John, I have sent you a series of written requests to attcud to this item, all of which
seem to be simply ignored, I have also warned you to expect tines from the City if you do

Personal Watercraft Rental Business
Dear Tony:
This letter will serve to advise you that the operation of our personal watercraft business (dba: Walk On
Water) located within the Newport Landing Marina will now be run by Offshore Watersports. Offshore also
operates a successful personal watercraft rental business located in Long Beach.
This rental operation will continue to operate under the trade name "Walk On Water" and shall rent and sell
personal watercraft only (i.e., wave runners, jet ski, kayaks, small jet boats, fishing boats and/or other similar
approved personal watercraft) as it has for several years at this location. The number of motorized personal
watercraft will not exceed 18, and there will be no adverse effect or impact on the parking, as the use is
identical to that which was previously approved for our marina --- the only difference being a new tenant
will be operating the business.
Offshore Watersports intends to apply for its separate Business License with the City today and hopefully
begin operations this weekend.
In the event you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me
(or have Wes call me) right away. My office number is (949) 251-4880.

Tenant Changes
Dear Tony:
SALISBURY
ENTERPRISES,
INC.
Our two six (6) passenger fishing charter boat subleases have now
expired, and we have changed the use of this marina space back
again to a personal watercraft rental business (jet skis, kayaks,
Sea•Doos and Wave Runners).
Our new tenant is Walk On Water, Inc., currently located adjacent
to the Balboa Island Ferry Landing. They will be closing their
Balboa Island rental facility shortly and be moving it over to
Newport Landing. Their new Sublease is effective April 1, 1996 and
runs for a period of 37 months. They have a three (3) year option
to extend the term and remain in our marina. They are very
professional operators, and we are looking forward to their long
term tenancy.
The change of uses back to a personal watercraft rental/sales
operation will have no effect or impact on our parking as the use
is identical to that which was previously approved and experienced
in our marina.
As always, we like to keep you and the Marine Department aware and
informed of any changes that occur within the marina portion of our
development. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to call me right away.

Re: Forced Sand Erosion
Adams Street, Balboa
Dear Tony:
SALISBURY
ENTERPRISES,
INC.
We received a copy of your recent letter in respect to the
considerable forced sand erosion which occurred at the City street
end of Adams Street during May 12 through and including May 14th.
The erosion occurred as a result of the fee owners' contractor,
Clean America Recycling, ejecting the discharged filtered water
from their water filtration system directly over the side of the
bulkhead onto the sand rather than through a discharge line
extended out into the bay on the top of the existing groin wall.
As soon as we became aware of this problem, we promptly notified
the fee owners' representative, Mike Franklin (verbally and in
writing) about the problem, as well as their contractor directly,
with a request that they properly install the discharge line out
into the bay for use during high tide cycles when the street storm
drain could not be used for the water discharge.
The water filtration system and discharge was authorized and
permitted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board
(NPDES Permit) applied for and issued to the fee owners of the
property. The equipment was installed in the street end under a
Temporary Street Closure Permit issued to the fee owners. Neither
Newport Landing Restaurant, Newport Landing Marine Fuels nor
Landing Associates had any control over the fee owners, nor did any
of these entities have any responsibility for the actions of the
contractor. Clean America Recycling was totally under the control
and direction of the fee owners (Franklin, Ray and Hadden) pursuant
to the terms and conditions of their contract with their
contractor.

We did not want you, Nann Von Oppenheim or anyone else to
misunderstand who Clean America Recycling worked for, how the
various permits were issued or who we consider to be the
responsible party for the sand erosion which occurred during the
May 12th through 14th period in question. As a result of the
forced erosion, a good portion of the sand that was misplaced ended
up within the Newport Landing Marina. We notified the fee owners
of the situation on May 15th, and have requested that they make
arrangements directly with your department to obtain the required
dredging permit and dredge the sand (including the sand deposited
into our marina area as a result of the forced sand erosion at the
street end) back onto the appropriate areas in front of 427 and 423
East Edgewater and the street end as requested by Nann Von
Oppenheim and as required by our department.
Should you have any questions or concerns remaining in regard to
the forced sand erosion situation, please do not hesitate to call
me at 251-4880.

Dear Doug:
Thank you for your memo of July 21st. I took the liberty of contacting Mr. Tony Melum,
Deputy Director of the Marine Department at the city of Newport Beach, who informed me
that, in his opinion, no structural damage has resulted from recent dewatering operations.
He noted that he has been in touch with Ken Nelson and, apparently, Landing Associates is
taking action to perform dredging to restore sand in front of 427 and 423 East Edgewater.
I am aware that Clean America's dewatering discharge pipe probably was initially located too
close to the sea wall and that some change to the contour of the sea bottom may have
occurred as a result. According to Mr. Melum, who has been with the City for 17 years,
Landing Associates has periodically had to dredge the marina. The process of dredging, of
course, ;creates a "hole" into which adjacent sand slowly falls. Thus, dredging is a normal
part of on -going maintenance at Newport Landing. According to Mr. Melum, dredging
permits were obtained by Landing Associates in September of 1989 and February of 1992, or
at approximately 21/2 year intervals. Obviously, more than 21/2 have elapsed since February

of 1992 and I assume you have made arrangements to perform normal dredging work. In the
event dredging operations now are greater than normal as a result of recent dewatering, I
would appreciate your calling me with the details.
At this time I do not believe there is any reason for the fee owners to correspond with Mr.
Nann Von Oppenheim (please accept my apologies if it is "Ms."). I am, however, sending
him a copy of this letter and ask that he call me directly if he has any questions.

Re: Maintenance Permit - Newport Landing Marine Fuels, 503 East Edgewater
Re -Pipe Fuel Dock
Dear Ken:
As we discussed during the week of June 12, 1995, the de -watering for the installation of
the fuel tanks adjacent to your marina has caused considerable erosion at the City street
end, and could possibly jeopardize the City bulkhead, sidewalk and storm drain in that
vicinity. As stated in Section 4-F of the Harbor Permit Policies, titled General Provisions
for Harbor Permits, "the permitte is responsible for all liability for property damage
which may arise out of the work herein permitted." The City is therefore looking to you
as the permittee for the maintenance permit for the above construction, to repair the City
street end and return it to the condition it was prior to the de -watering at the site.
In that regard, we would be happy to meet with you on site and establish the level of sand
that must be replaced in that particular location. We are concerned regarding damage to
the storm drain and to the City bulkhead and sidewalk, so it is important that the
resolution of this matter be expedited.
If you have any further regarding the above, please contact me at (714) 644-3044.

RE: Beach Erosion at Edgewater/Adams Sea Wall
Gentlemen:
As you are well aware, the contractor in charge of removing the water from your
construction site behind Newport Landing Restaurant caused a major hole to be dug in front
of yours and the city's sea wall at Adams Street. This erosion of the beach sand has
seriously undermined the sand which holds up the sea wall and city sewer pipe and the
pilings for my pier at 427 East Edgewater.
It is my understanding that it is your intention to have dredging done as soon as possible
by the contractor at fault. Meanwhile, the dry beach in front of my property is sliding away
and showing even greater amounts of my pier pilings.
I don't agree with your suggestion that I could loan you funds to pay for the repair dredging
if I'm concerned about the speed at which you might proceed. I am well aware of the
minimal cost to repair this damage before it actually causes much greater damage to your
neighbors. Since it was your contractor, I feel it is your obligation to press them for
immediate satisfaction. This is what I would do if the situation were reversed. Please give
me the contractor's I.D., etc. so that I might discuss with them the added costs to them if
they do not proceed swiftly.
Finally, I've voiced these concerns to Tony Mellum of the Newport Beach City, Marine
Department. He has viewed the damage personally with me and stated that he would
provide you with a permit to dredge at the earliest possible tides.

RE: Bayside Sand Erosion at Newport Landing & Adams Street
Dear Tony:
am writing this letter to you to be sure that we are on record about our distress over the
rapid and unnatural erosion of the beach sand along the front of our property at 427 and
423 East Edgewater.
As you are well aware, an accelerated erosion problem has existed since Newport Landing
has been dredging next door to us for their commercial facility. During the past six -to -eight
years, we have seen the sand loss cause our pier pilings to sink 1/2" per year to the point
that our landing and pier is now submerged at high tides by over two inches.
In June of 1995, we re-covered our pilings with new wood as maintenance, but also added
height to the timbers to alleviate the high tide swamping.
Unfortunately, in May/June 1995, the contractors at Newport Landing washed out a huge
hole at the end of Adams Street at the seawall by not providing the correct distance for their
pumped water to be deposited beyond the beach at low tide (reverse dredging). Therefore,
we are once again being undercut to the distinct detriment of the supporting foundation for
our newly finished pier. Furthermore, we can see that the public seawall and street
plumbing is being adversely affected by the loss of sand foundation — this is of direct
concern to your office.
Tony Melum
June 28, 1995
Page 2
Please advise the proper parties that they will be held responsible for any damages caused
to both public and private properties and issue immediate emergency (if necessary) permits
for pumping the sand back to its proper location as soon as it is physically (moon tides)
possible.
will send a copy of this letter to Newport Landing as well as a separate letter to them
requesting their attention to this repair work before any greater amounts of monies are lost
due to further damage while waiting for the offending party to pay for the dredging.

RE: Bayside Sand Erosion at Newport Landing &Adams Street
Dear Tony:
I am writing this letter to you to be sure that we are on record about our distress over the
rapid and unnatural erosion of the beach sand along the front of our property at 427 and
423 East Edgewater.
As you are well aware, an accelerated erosion problem has existed since Newport Landing
has been dredging next door to us for their commercial facility. During the past six -to -eight
years, we have seen the sand loss cause our pier pilings to sink 1/2" per year to the point
that our landing and pier is now submerged at high tides by over two inches.
In June of 1995, we re-covered our pilings with new wood as maintenance, but also added
height to the timbers to alleviate the high tide swamping.
Unfortunately, in May/June 1995, the contractors at Newport Landing washed out a huge
hole at the end of Adams Street at the seawall by not providing the correct distance for their
pumped water to be deposited beyond the beach at low tide (reverse dredging). Therefore,
we are once again being undercut to the distinct detriment of the supporting foundation for
our newly finished pier. Furthermore, we can see that the public seawall and street
plumbing is being adversely affected by the loss of sand foundation -- this is of direct
concern to your office.

Please advise the proper parties that they will be held responsible for any damages caused
to both public and private properties and issue immediate emergency (if necessary) permits
for pumping the sand back to its proper location as soon as it is physically (moon tides)
possible.
I will send a copy of this letter to Newport Landing as well as a separate letter to them
requesting their attention to this repair work before any greater amounts of monies are lost
due to further damage while waiting for the offending party to pay for the dredging.

Dear Tony:
hope that our meeting at Newport Landing clarified for you the problem we and the
surrounding neighbors have with the attractive nuisance caused by the commercial bait
tanks in front of the Newport Landing Restaurant. As you can clearly see, the area directly
surrounding the bait tanks is both a health hazard from bird excrement as well as a visual
and personal nuisance to our neighborhood.
Speaking for myself, owning a property adjacent to these bait tanks costs me losses in
revenues annually when my boat slip and apartment tenants give "bird filth" as their reason
for moving away from my establishment.
As my photos and your personal observation shows, the present form of bait tank covering
has NO deterrent effect on the sea gulls, pelicans, commorets, and night herons at all.
Every day we have to wash off a thousand new dropping or the result becomes thick
enough to coat the surrounding boats and docks in solid bird waste.
If necessary, I will circulate a petition in the neighborhood to prove that we are all fed up
with this commercial concern making money at the expense of all the surrounding
neighbors. We would all prefer that the fishing community get their bait at the off -shore
barge where the health problem would not exist from the constant bombardment of bird
filth.

Dear Tony : _...

Pursuant to our meetings of October 20, 1994 and earlier today, I
herewith enclose our application for a Maintenance Permit to be
issued by the Marine Department to allow Landing Associates to
replace existing single wall pipe and re-route a portion thereof
with Federally mandated double wall pipe to serve the fuel
dispensers on the fuel dock.
Our check number 0977 in the amount of Sixty Dollars ($60.00) is
enclosed.
A rough draft drawing of the proposed routing of the new pipe is
enclosed. I realize the City Council must approve this application
and I am hopeful this can be expedited so that an early approval
may be attained. Time is of the essence since we hope to actually
start construction during the first week of January 1995.
Please let me know right away if you need additional information.

Recommendation:
If desired, approve the application subject to the following
conditions:
1. Approval of the City Building Department.
2. Approval of the City Fire Department.
3. Approval of the City's Public Works Department.
Discussion:
This application is before the City Council as required by Section
S.C.3 of the Harbor Permit Policies which states:
5.C.3 "Prior approval of the City Council will be
required before issuing a permit for shore -connected
structures when the upland property is zoned commercial."
The applicant is being required by State and Federal law to upgrade
the existing fuel storage tanks at the fuel facility at 503
Edgewater. The current tanks are of single wall construction and
located behind the Newport Landing Restaurant. New law requires
that single walled tanks be replaced with double wall tanks. The
new tanks will occupy the same location as the older tanks.
In addition to the double walling of the tanks, there will be
double wall piping installed. The piping will exit the tanks under
the building adjacent to Adams Street. They will then be placed
under the sidewalk out to the bulkhead. They will exit the
bulkhead, and be installed within the dock system itself. The
applicant will also install electronic monitoring which will detect
any leakage in the tanks or in the double wall piping.

As you have requested in your letter dated January 20, 1994, we are
adding off sale beer and wine to your Commercial Harbor Activities
Permit. I know you are aware that the Planning Department is no
longer issuing use permits for activities out over the water and
the zoning code is inappropriate or not relevant to activities
conducted bayward of the U. S. Bulkhead Line. Therefore, the
Marine Department would be the appropriate City agency to approve
this type of activity at that commercial location.

It is my understanding that the City of Newport Beach Marine
Department has purview over all activities conducted bayward of the

Beer and wine sales have long been an integral part of the
operation of not only the Newport Landing fuel dock but all other
fuel docks operating within the harbor.
It is the intention of Landing Associates to apply to the State of

Re: Proposed Groin Wall
Newport Landing Marina
Dear Tony:
Thank you for taking a few minutes this morning to discuss the
continuing maintenance dredging problem at Newport Landing.
I was hopeful that the City of Newport Beach would participate in
the cost ($6,000.00 total, split 3 ways) to install ,a groin wall
per the proposal from Swift Slip Company.
Randy Brown indicated that his mother, the owner of the property to
the West and contiguous to Adams Street, would participate to the
extent of $2,000 and Landing Associates is prepared to make a
similar commitment.
Evidently the City's position is that, based on the opinion the
storm drain system is not threatened, nor is the Adams Street beach
considered a bathing beach, and because of budgetary constraints,
the City is not at this time in a position to contribute to the
cost of the groin wall construction. It is obvious that the storm
drain is unsightly and when not covered by sand, presents a certain
exposure to risk of injury to the public. Further, each and every
time we expend between $1,500 and $2,000 to maintenance dredge our
marina basin, the spoils do not remain on the street end beach past
the first High/Low tidal cycle but return immediately to fill our
basin.

Discussion:
This application is before the City Council as required by Section

5.C.3. " Prior approval of the City Council will be required
before issuing a permit for shore -connected structures when...the

A new operator is taking over the gas dock bayward of Newport
Landing and proposes to install a sign on the docks advertising the
new business. The size of the proposed rsg i be s 8 feet by 4 violation et,
a total of 32 square feet. This appears
of
Section 25.B of the Harbor Permit Policies which states:
25. B. "No sign permitted beyond the bulkhead lines shall
exceed 4 square feet in total area".
The applicant is requesting an exception to the above as provided
by Section 24 of the Harbor Permit Policies, which states:
24. "The City Council may approve exceptions to any of the
requirements and regulations set forth if there are special
circumstances or conditions affecting the harbor installations that

Per our discussion, we would appreciate the City's issuance of a
temporary Commercial Harbor Permit to our tenant, Balboa Boat
Rental, in accordance with their original April 16, 1992
application for which all application fees have been tendered as
required. We would concurrently agree to a limitation of twelve
(12) rental boats at this time and until such time as you and the
Marine Department are comfortable with issuance of the permanent
Commercial Harbor Permit.
We are continuing to work with BA Mortgage, owner's of the
Edgewater Place parking structure, toward finalization and
documentation of our settlement agreement. The settlement will
include the following, among other things:
(1) The segregation of 75 "exclusive" parking stalls within
the structure for the "exclusive" use by Landing
Associates, its tenants and invitees.
(2) Construction of a ramp to the basement level of the
structure for additional ingress/egress and for Landing
Associates' exclusive use.
(3) A new garage operator, by the end of this month, with
better levels of support staffing and full time
supervision.
(4) Capital expenditures required to make the facility
operate more efficiently.
r l o t' - /1 f the required h +-}r�;
( 5 ) Accommodation c1 awl f�x.� ( z ) o e a�.^�..,..�cap
parking stalls for Edgewater and Newport Landing
properties within the parking structure within the entry
level of the structure.
BA Mortgage will produce the detailed plans and specifications for
review and approval of the design of thew -'ramp by the Planning,
Building Departments, and by Landing Associates. They will then
bid the cost and escrow all funds necessary for its construction
and completion in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications.

Bob, attached is a copy of a letter from Dennis O'Neil regarding
our denial of a Commercial Harbor Activities Permit to the Electric
Boat Company operating out of Newport Landing.
I am providing you also with a copy of their application and our
response.
As of this date we have requested that they cease operations since
they cannot provide parking for the Electric Boat Company.
In Dennis' letter he states on page three that if we plan to take
formal action he would appreciate an opportunity to sit down with
you, the Planning Director and the Marine Director and go over
their position.
At your convenience could we discuss this and make a plan on how to
proceed? Since they are continuing to operate, my next step would
be a revocation of the Harbor Permit for Newport Landing under
Section 17.24.090 or 17.41.090.

Re: Your Application for a Commercial Harbor Activities Permit
for the Electric Boat Company
Dear Mr. Rodheim:
On June 19, 1992 we corresponded with you indicating there was a
deficiency in your application fora Commercial Harbor Activities
Permit, and therefore your permit to operate had been denied.
It is our understanding that the Electric Boat Company is
continuing to operate bayward of the Edgewater address in violation
of Municipal Code Section 17.41. Accordingto the code, you must
cease operations from that location until you can acquire a permit
for your business. If you continue to operate without a permit it
will be necessary for us to turn this matter over to the City
Attorney's office for followup.
If you have questions in this regard please contact me at 644-3044.
Sincerely,
Tony Melum.

Re: Commercial Harbor Permit for Electric Boat Company
at Newport Landing Marina
Dear Doug:
This is in response to your letter of May 7, 1992 regarding the
Harbor Permit Application by Electric Boat Company.
it is the position of the Marine Department that all available
"grandfather" passenger capacity at the site at 503 Edgewater has
been devoted to the sportfishing operation. That was the
understanding when a Commercial Harbor Activities Permit was issued
to Newport Landing SportFishing Inc. in October 1990.
That being the case, any expansion of the commercial activates
bayward of 503 Edgewater must comply with the existing municipal
code sections regarding commercial activities within Newport
Harbor, and specifically the parking requirement.
Fun Zone Boat Company, on their application, indicate that their
parking will be provided in the Edgewater Place parking structure.
In discussion with the Planning Department, they have indicated
that all the parking available in Edgewater Place parking structure
has been committed. Therefore, there is no parking available at
that location. As a result, the Electric Boat Company has failed
to provide parking and it will be necessary for the Marine
Department to deny their application to operate from that location,
unless they can provide the requisite parking based on the number,
of vessels and the passenger load they propose.
Sincerely,
Tony MMm

Re: Your application for Commercial Harbor Activities Permit
for the Electric Boat Company
Dear Mr. Rodheim:
We have reviewed your application and have found the following
deficiency:
You indicate at number (4) that the location for required
parking for passengers, employees and crew will be Edgewater Place
parking structure. In discussions with the Planning Department we
find the parking structure is completely committed beforehand and
there is no excess parking available in that place. Therefore you
have failed--to,--prrovide a site for required parking, which, based
upon the number of vessels you propose would need to have a minimum
of twenty four (24) parking.spaces.
Since the requisite parking has not been provided it will be
necessary for us, based on Section 17.41.050.E of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code, to deny your application.
If you have questions in this regard, please call me at 644-3044.
Sincerely,
Tony Melum.

Dear Doug:
I'm in receipt of your letter of May 7th, however, I have taken no
further action on the application, pending receipt of the
application fee of $400.00 from the applicant. _ As of this date,, we
have still not received the fee and cannot process the application
until it is complete, including the fee.
I am assuming that the Electric Boat Company is in operation
currently, and our position is that it's operating without a
permit. We must get the $400.00 and proceed with the application
process as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be necessary for us
to request the operation cease, pending total review of the
application.

RE: COMMERCIAL HARBOR PERMIT
ELECTRIC BOAT COMPANY
Newport Landing Marina
Dear Tony:
SALISBURY
ENTERPRISES,
INC.
Thank you for your time yesterday morning and for the
opportunity to discuss the above -referenced permit application
submitted by our tenant at the Newport Landing development.
Hopefully, the informal discussion was helpful to everyone.
The new long term lease to Ralph Rodheim and Jack Hochadel
took effect in April and served as our replacement tenant for the
Balboa Sailing Club that operated from our inside marina area from
1985 to 1990. The Electric Boat Rental business will operate with
a maximum of up to twelve (12) electric boats of 18 to 20 feet in
length and with maximum passenger occupancy of 8 and 12
respectively, although most of the boats generally depart with only
2 to 6 passengers. Our tenant shares office facilities with the
existing boat rental operator currently located in front of
Edgewater Place at the Balboa Ferry landing. As required by the
Use Permits covering both Newport Landing and Edgewater Place,
employee parking is provided on the top level of the Edgewater
Place parking structure at no cost or expense to the employee.
Our prior tenant, the Balboa Sailing Club, occupied the entire
inside marina area, while our new tenant will be operating out of
only one-third of that area. The balance of the marina is
currently occupied by two private sportsfishing boats. In
addition, we recently reduced the inside marina area by
approximately 536 square feet as a result of expanding the floating
dock facilities utilized by Bisbee's Landing, our fuel dock tenant.
The Balboa Sailing Club maintained 15 boats of various sizes
inside the marina and also maintained off -premises a great many
additional boats, of larger sizes, also available for rent or
charter by the general public or for use by their Club members.
I have enclosed herewith a xerox copy of one of their brochures..
Many of the vessels berthed inside and outside of the marina were
capable of handling (and did handle) very large parties. Many of
the charters to these groups were for periods of one or more days.
The Electric Boat Rental rents its electric boats by the hour only.
These vessels are restricted to the harbor channels only and are
17042 Gillette Avenue • Irvine, California 92714 • (714) 250-0331 (714) 250-5729
also restricted to the maximum passenger capacities previously
stated. Most of its customers are already in the area for other
purposes and some come for a short harbor cruise prior to or in
conjunction with their dinner reservations at the Newport Landing
Restaurant.
Although our existing Use Permit (#1086) specifically provides
for "charter boats", "skiff rentals", "boat dealership" and
"outboard sales and service", we have encouraged our tenant to
apply for a commercial harbor permit with your department and to
tender promptly the full $400 application fee requested. We
believe that this replacement tenant is an appropriate user. The
new tenant is a much smaller operator utilizing a much more limited
portion of our marina area. This new tenant will require a great
deal less in the way of supporting parking as compared to the
Balboa Sailing Club or another sailing club or potential marina
tenant for our property.
The current Land Use Plan and Local Coastal Program adopted
by the City of Newport Beach and the provisions of the California
Coastal Act clearly support and protect water -oriented recreational
activities. They require that a "priority" be placed on private
land for such purposes, encourage recreational boating uses and
require that recreational boating activities be "protected" and,
where feasible, "upgraded". The Act further provides that
"existing recreational boating harbor space shall not be reduced
unless the demand for those facilities no longer exists or adequate
substitute space has been provided". The Electric Boat Rental
facility will not create marine traffic congestion, interfere with
the rights of others to use the waters of Newport Harbor, nor
contribute to the problem of pollution (i.e., electric motors) and
litter on or in the waters of Newport Beach.
Based on the above circumstances, we respectfully request that
you approve the commercial harbor permit application submitted by
our replacement tenant. Should you wish us to provide any
additional information or support in connection with this permit
application, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Ken
Nelson at (714) 251-4880.
Thank you in advance for your favorable consideration of our
tenant's commercial harbor permit application.
Very truly,

RE: Commercial Harbor Permit Application April 16, 1992
Dear Mr. Rodheim:
The application submitted by you on April 16, 1992 is incomplete.
We need additional information.
It is my understanding, based on your application, that you propose
to operate_ six_ boats out of the location, with a passenger capacity
of 8 to 12 per vessel. At a maximum of 2 persons per boat, that
would be a total of 72 possible passengers. The current Harbor
Permit Policies require that a charter boat and/or a rental boat
business provide one parking space for every three passengers.
Therefore, your operation would need .24__ parking__ spaces. In
addition, you have 3 employees, which would necessitate one more
parking space, making a total of 25 parking spaces needed. I have
discussed with the Planning Department the applicability of the
Edgewater Place parking structure as a'location for your parking.
They have said that there is no additional parking space available
in the Edgewater Place structure, and: therefore before we can
consider your application we need to know where you will provide
the 25 parking spaces required for your business.
I was in error when I told you that your previous application at
503 Edgewater could be transferred to this location, and that an
additional fee would not be required.' In reviewing that file it
appears that the earlier permit was revoked because you were not
able to get the parking and/or site for berthing of your rental
vessels, and therefore there is no existing permit to be
transferred. We will need to receive an additional $400 to process
your application.
If you have questions please contact me at 644-3044.
sincerely

Re: Commercial Activities Harbor Permit (Newport
Landing Marina)
Several months ago, Doug Salisbury, representing the
general partner of Landing Associates, retained our law firm to
represent his interests in various business ventures including
the restaurant and marina located at 503 E. Edgewater Place in
Balboa ("Newport Landing"). Since foreclosing on the original
leasehold interests of Mark and Cheryl Howard to Newport Landing
and Lot 9 (a portion of the land beneath the Edgewater Place
parking structure) on December 13, 1988, Doug Salisbury has been
involved in ongoing discussions with the City in efforts to
clarify and perfect the uses and parking rights pertaining to
this property. There have been numerous meetings between
Salisbury and you, the City.Attorriey,; '' the Pla�g,. D,irector,- and
other City staff persons toevew all of�r issues
involved ii a the` Newport Landing and Edgewa Pl%Ace,``proj'ects.
I recently spent most of a morning in Bob Burnham's
office reviewing the stacks of files containing all of the
reports, studies, permits, agreements and correspondence which
has been generated by the parties involved in this matter. The
shear volume of all of this information is incredible. I am
impressed with the time and effort expended by the City staff and

Doug to address and attempt to resolve these many complicated
issues. I know Doug appreciates the cooperation he has received
from you, Tony Melum, Bob Burnham and Jim Hewicker.
Nevertheless, certain major problems mainly relating to permitted
uses, the operation of the Edgewater Place parking structure and
Landing Associates' parking rights remain unresolved.
1' ;1.LVlLni.a 7 that
he b_uaDour C bivuL1t and Lil.0acquired certain vested uses under the original Use Permit
No. 1086 issued in 1964 relating to the water areas and certain
parking rights under Use Permit No. 3076 issued in 1984 together
with the lease and offsite parking agreement entered into between
the City, the Howards and Balboa Landing in 1985 relating to the
redevelopment of the property. Unfortunately, Doug was unaware
and could never have expected that the Edgewater Place parking
structure would have such serious defects in design and
operation. Nor did he anticipate that the City would later
attempt to impose the regulations of Chapter 17.41 of the
Municipal Code requiring a commercial activities permit to
continue the sportfishing operations and other permitted uses in
the marina which had been allowed to exist as part of Use Permit
Nos. 1086 and 3076.
I understand from a recent discussion with Jim Hewicker
that the Planning Department will be submitting a report to the
City Council within the next four to six weeks reviewing the
deficiencies associated with the operation of the Edgewater Place
parking structure by the successor in interest to Balboa Landing,
BA Mortgage. Hopefully, the City will be able to take some
affirmative action under the reservation of rights provisions

correct the design and operation inadequacies associated with the
Edgewater parking structure. Doug Salisbury has submitted
suggestions to both BA Mortgage and the City on possible
modifications to the structure which would improve its
operational capability. Doug remains available to work with the
staff on the implementation of any plan to remedy the parking
structure problems.
By letter dated October 24, 1990, you issued a
commercial activities permit to James E. Watts, tenant of Landing
Associates and operator of Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc. The
permit cites in the findings a reference to Use Permit No. 1086
and authorizes the existing sportfishing business including all
day and half -day sportfishing boats, charter boats, fishing skiff

rentals, live bait sales, tackle store & ticket office, Glasspar
boat dealership, Johnson Outboard sales and service, marine fuel
dock facilities and a small restaurant.
The commercial activities permit issued specifically
authorized sportfishing at Newport Landing but limited in
operation to four vessels with passenger loadsnot exceeding a
total of 232 passengers. c'iitilCiugil the permit "gra2ld athered' in
the sportfishing business, no mention was made of the other
businesses authorized by Use Permit No. 1086 which would qualify
as existing activities under Section 17.41.120. In transmitting
the harbor activities permit to the City, Doug Salisbury
expressly reserved all of the rights and entitlements under Use
Permit No. 1086. Doug remained convinced, as he does today, that
the intent of Chapter 17.41 was meant to regulate so-called
"party boats" which were increasing in number creating additional
demands on available parking and not.directed towards
long-standing boating activities in the harbor.
Section 17.41.025(a) expressly excepts commercial fishing
activities from the regulations of Chapter 17.41 and accordingly,
Doug has consistently taken the position that regardless of his
rights under Use Permit No. 1086, the Newport Landing fishing
boats should not require a permit because they are a commercial
fishing activity and therefore were exempt.
Landing Associates is now proposing to lease out a
portion of the Newport Landing "inside" marina formerly occupied
by the Balboa Sailing Club to tenants who would operate such uses
as a six-pac charter fleet, boat rental and/or charters, harbor
tour boats, or perhaps a new sailing club. This would be

agreeable time.

Dear Mr. Nelson:

It has been a year since the Marine Department Staff
reviewed Newport Landing's Maintenance Permit Application to
construct a vessel waste pump on the dock and approved the
proposed work. There has been several communications between
your office and this department, all leading this staff to
believe that work would commence at once. To date this hasn't
happened.
The Marine Department is concerned that another Christmas
Boat Parade will occur, with passenger boats departing from
Newport Landing,- and the facility still not complying with
the requirement to have a functioning vessel pumpout station.
The station should be operating before December 15, 1990.
Failure to meet this deadline may curtail charter operations
from Newport Landing after that date.
Please call 644-3044 if there is a need to discuss this
further.

Dear David:
I just returned from out-of-state and received a copy of your
Notice of Decision in response to Newport Landing Sportfishing,
Inc. Is October 19th application for a Commercial Harbor Activities
Permit for their new boat.
First, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and thanks
to you, Tony Melum, Bob Burnham and the Planning Department for
your favorable consideration of this application and for allowing
Jim Watts and myself the opportunity to present our case in support
of the new boat. I certainly realize that most issues are not
clearly black or white and that sometimes shades of gray are
appropriate.
Per your request, I have executed and enclosed a copy of your
October 24, 1990 Notice of Decision. I have revised the
acknowledgment to reflect my signature as President of Salisbury
Enterprises, Inc., the General Partner of Landing Associates. This
acknowledgment is being returned with the understanding that
Landing Associates is not waiving any of its rights or entitlements
under Use Permit #1086 which authorized the conduct of the existing
sportfishing business at Newport Landing Marina. As you recall,

EXHIBIT "A"
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF APPROVAL
OF
COMMERCIAL HARBOR PERMIT #
I have reviewed and considered the written materials submitted
in conjunction with the application for commercial harbor permit
authorizing sportfishing operations at Newport Landing, and
testimony offered by the applicant and.the pier permittee at a
meeting held on October 18, 1990.
After considering the application and the evidence offered in
support of the application, both oral and documentary, the Marine
Director finds as follows:
1. A sportfishing operation has been conducted bayward of
the property at 503 East Edgewater Avenue in Balboa for
more than 25 years. The sportfishing operation has been
interrupted only during the construction of buildings on
upland property or the construction/alteration of piers
and floats.
2. On November 19, 1964, the Newport Beach Planning
Commission approved Use Permit #1086. Use Permit #1086
authorized the conduct of the existing sportfishing
business consisting of all day and half day sportfishing
boats, charter fishing boats, fishing skiff rentals, live
bait sales, tackle store and ticket office, Glaspar boat
dealership, Johnson outboard sales and service, marine
dock facilities and a small restaurant oriented to
serving fishermen and boaters.
3. Use Permit #1086 was granted prior to the establishment
of parking standards for a sportfishing business, but was
conditioned such that Lot 9 of the Balboa bayside tract
be used only for the parking of automobiles. No other
parking requirements were imposed on the sportfishing
business authorized by Use Permit #1086.
4. On January 14, 1985, the Newport Beach City Council
approved Ordinance number 84-29, which established new
regulations on commercial activities conducted on the
waters of Newport Harbor. The new regulations were
adopted because of traffic congestion, parking problems
and noise associated with the increase in charter boat
activity --especially "in harbor" cruises. The revised
commercial harbor activities ordinance "grandfathered"
the operations of those holding permits issued prior to
the effective date of the ordinance, but prohibited the
permittee from increasing or expanding operations in the
absence of an amendment to the permit.
kmc/sptfsh.ltr
EXHIBIT "A"
(continued)
5. Use Permit #1086 is not the functional equivalent of a
commercial harbor activities permit, but sportfishing
operators may have refrained from applying for a
commercial harbor activities permit because of the rights
conferred by Use Permit #1086.
On the effective date of the commercial harbor activities
ordinance, the sportfishing operation bayward of 503
Edgewater consisted of four vessels --the Helena, Explorer
II, Southern Cal, and Longf in. A "six-pack" charter also
operated from the location. The maximum occupant load of
all sportfishing vessels operating from the location was
232.
6. In 1985, after approval of the commercial harbor
activities permit ordinance, the Newport Beach City
Planning commission and/or City Council approved Use
Permits #3076 and #3122, which authorized development of
the Edgewater Place/Newport Landing Project. These use
permits authorized the construction of a three-story
building on property covered by Use Permit #1086,
including the lot reserved for parking. These use
permits superceded Use. Permit #1086, but did not purport
to prohibit sportfishing activities bayward of the new
project. To the contrary, the Planning Department staff
reports, and conditions of approval, suggest that the
City and the property owner contemplated continuous
sportfishing operations at or below the then current
levels of service. Again, the sportfishing operator may
have concluded no commercial harbor activities permit was
necessary because these use permits appear to assume that
sportfishing operations will continue at then current
levels.
7. The parking structure built in conjunction with the
Edgewater Place development does not function as
intended, nor is it properly operated by the property
owner. The elevators installed in the structure do not
transport cars to different levels of the structure as
fast as represented by reports submitted to the Planning
Commission and City Council. The parking structure is
not staffed with requisite number of qualified personnel
necessary to ensure proper operation. In many cases,
Newport Landing Personnel have assisted the parking lot
operator in accommodating their customers.
8. In spite of the problems associated with the Edgewater
Place parking structure, the Marine Director is unable to
make the finding that the "proposed commercial activity
does not provide facilities to ensure adequate parking,
safe vehicular ingress and egress, and the safe loading
kmc/sptfsh.ltr
and unloading of passengers and supplies" in that:
(a) conditions of approval establish passenger
service levels only slightly above the capacity of
vessels currently operating from Newport Landing.
(b) the Marine Department has reserved the right to
impose additional conditions or restrictions on the
sportfishing operation if parking problems result
from the new vessel and the additional passengers
which it will attract to Newport Landing.
(c) Conditions of approval establish passenger
service levels identical to those which existed
when the commercial harbor activities ordinance
became law and no significant parking problems were
noted at that level of service.
(d) City staff has announced the intention to take
the issue of the parking structure to the Planning
Commission for their review and consideration --
action which may prompt the property owner to
comply with the terms and conditions to Use Permits
#3076 and #3122.
(e) sportfishing passengers arrive at Newport
Landing well before restaurant and retail
operations open for business. Some of the
sportfishing vehicles will exit from the parking
structure before Newport Landing and Parker Seafood
open for lunch, and substantially all of the
sportfishing vehicles will leave the parking
structure before the arrival of dinner patrons.
9. The Marine Director has retained the authority to impose
additional conditions or restrictions on permittee in the
event the new vessel or related passengers create noise
which adversely affects the rights of those who work or
own property in the area.
10. The vessels to be used by the applicants satisfy all
applicable standards of the United States Coast Guard.
11. The proposed commercial activity is not likely to create
marine traffic congestion, interfere with the rights of
others to use the waters of Newport Harbor, nor
contribute to the problem of pollution and litter on or
in the waters of Newport Beach.

Re: Newport Landing Marina
Sportfishing Activities
Dear Dave:
SALISBURY
ENTERPRISES,
INC.
In response to your correspondence and our conversations -of
yesterday, this letter will serve as our formal request to be
allowed to proceed with the required commitment for the new
sportfishing vessel for Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc.,
subject to the following conditions:
1) The new vessel will not be put into service any
sooner than June of 1991.
2) The new vessel will be restricted to a maximum
passenger load of 100.
3) At the time the new vessel is put into service,
the existing three vessels in the sportfishing
fleet will concurrently reduce their current
maximum passenger loads by 72 passengers as follows:
From To Reduction
Nautilus.......... 116 72 (-44)
Amigo ............. 48 35 (-13)
Reveille.......... 45 30 (-15)
Total ............. 209 137 (-72)
4) Based upon the above reduced maximum passenger
loads of 137 on the existing vessels plus the
100 maximum passenger load (100) of the new
vessel, the total potential maximum passenger
loads for the fleet could thus only increase by
a maximum of 28 passengers.
It is our understanding, pursuant to the City's Use Permits for
Newport Landing, that a total of 58 stalls are required. Of the
58 stalls, 54 are required for the land uses and 4 are required
for the water uses. At present, Newport Landing has the sole and
exclusive rights to 73 parking stalls within the Edgewater Place
parking structure and four (4) additional stalls are provided on-

site behind the restaurant facilities, for a total of 77 parking
stalls, or 19 in excess of the requirements. An increase of 28
in the maximum passenger loads for the sportfishing activities
would require 14 of the additional stalls already available,
still leaving an excess of 5 stalls above the most stringent
interpretation of code required parking for the project.
As you are aware, our original request to bring in the new
sportfishing vessel dates back to early December of last year.
At that time, Newport Landing Sportfishing had a commitment from
the boat builder to deliver the boat for the summer season at a
total cost of $470,000. The same vessel, if a deposit is
provided prior to October 22nd, will cost $665,000 and can be
delivered prior to the next summer season. If, however, the
vessel cannot be ordered and a deposit delivered by Monday, the
vessel will increase in price by another $200,000 (to $865,000)
and delivery would not be able to occur until after next summer's
season. A denial of our above request would impose a significant
financial burden on both Newport Landing Sportfishing and the
owners of the development. The new boat is a requirement of
Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc.'s business.
The above proposal would provide for the new vessel order to be
placed as required and allow us and the City the additional time
to discuss and explore the history of the property, the Use
Permits, the marina parking requirements, and find and agree upon
the permanent restrictions which will thereafter be applicable to
the marina uses and parking for the future. To assist us in this
process, we have hired Dennis O'Neil of Pettis, Tester, Kruse &
Krinsky to assist us in working with you toward arriving at the
appropriate long term solution for all parties concerned.
We believe that our revised request for this interim period of
time is a reasonable one which can be supported and documented
under any interpretation of restrictions which may be applicable
to the marina at Newport Landing. Due to the circumstances, we
need your support of this reduced proposal at this time.

Re: Newport Landing Marina
503 East Edgewater
Commercial Pier Permit #0112-0503-1
Dear David and Tony: y
After our variousx..meetings and.d.iscussions concerning th°e water
related uses within the Newport Landing Marina development, the
City Attorney has made it clear that the Marine Department is the
appropriate agency solely responsible for the approvals and
administration of the water area uses and activities within our
marina development. The Planning Department of the City is, on the
other hand, responsible for the approvals. and administration of the
land and building areas only.
We believe that the best solution for the marina area would be to
arrive at an agreement that would provide the property owner of
Newport Landing development with flexibility to change various
water uses in the marina in the years ahead and to provide the
Marine Department with reasonable assurances that future changes
in tenants and their commercial uses would not adversely impact the
parking presently required (58 off-street parking spaces) pursuant
to the existing permits issued and obtained by the property owner.
As we discussed with Tony at our last meeting, the most practical
way to provide both the future flexibility and the appropriate
control would be for the property owner to provide the Marine
Department with a letter of agreement under which the property
owner would commit to restricting the present and future commerical
uses in the Newport Landing Marina area to a maximum passenger
count. This maximum passenger count could not be exceeded without
the property owner first providing any additional parking required
to support said additional passenger counts desired to be added to
the Newport Landing Marina area.
Although we believe that we could reasonably justify and support
total passenger counts in excess of 400, in the spirit of
compromise and finding an appropriate and reasonable agreement for
limitation quickly, we would voluntarily agree to a- maximum
passenger

count of 350 supported by the presently required parking. We are
making this reduced proposal in our effort to bring the prior
requests and discussions into focus and hopefully, be abletoreach-
agreement on future limitations with the Marine Department at this
time. We are asking you to favorably consider our request.
In considering this proposal we submit the following background,
information and attachments in support of our request for your
review and consideration:
(1) The commercial marina was established and constructed
many years ago prior to the City's current parking code Q
requirements '°and._continues to be subject to Section
20_30.030 (B) (1) of the City's Municipal Code..
(-2) The property development and its uses were approved by
the Newport Beach City Council in November of 1964
pursuant to the issuance of Use Permit No. 1086. The
permit remains valid and is a legal/non-conforming use
authorization. (See Attachment "A".)
(3) The original Use Permit applicant, Art Gronsky, has
verified by way of his letter of January 24, 1989, that
during his operation of the Newport Landing Marina area
(formerly Art's Landing) that he operated six (6)
sportfishing passenger boats with combined passenger
capacities of 250 passengers. Some of these boats
operated more than one trip per day requiring that
passengers for a departing trip would be on the property
at the same time passengers would be returning. In
addition, private charters were also loaded and thirty
(30) fishing skiffs were available for rental. A total
of 350 passengers were accommodated on a normal busy day.
(See Attachment "B".)
(4) The current sportfishing boats operating from the
property include the Nautilus, the Amigo and the
Reveille. The Freelance was originally committed to be
part of this f leet but could not make the move at the
last minute. As a result, the sportfishing tenant
(Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc.) decided to wait
until they could build and purchase their own fourth boat_
for the fleet rather than bring in an inferior vessel.
Mr. David Harshbarger
Mr. Tony Melum
September 27, 1990
Page Three
The U.S. Coast Guard certified passenger counts of these
vessels are as follows:
Nautilus -------------- 116
Amigo ---------------- 48
Reveille -------------- 45
Freelance ------------ 149
Total ----------- 358
This tenant entered into negotiations to build a brand
new 100 passenger half -day sportfishing vessel back in
November of 1989 and has already, made a substantial
investment in -this boat and its design. Newport Landing
Sportfishing is presently the smallest sportfishing
operator in the State of' California and the new modern
boat and passenger cdp-.acity appears,to be required if
they are to succeed as a viable business operation for
the future.
(5) The addition of the new boat has the support of Captain
Harry Gage, Harbor Master for Newport Harbor. (See
Attachment "C".)
(6) The California Coastal Act of 1976 (as amended) and its
Planning and Management Policies clearly support and
protect water -oriented recreational activities for
visitor oriented recreational activities. It also
requires that a "priority" be placed on private land for
such purposes over other types of development on or near
the shoreline. The Act also encourages increased
recreational boating uses and requires that facilities
providing commercial fishing and recreational boating
activities be "protected" and where feasible "upgraded".
It further provides that "existing commercial fishing and
recreational boating harbor space shall not be reduced
unless the demand for those facilities no longer exist
or adequate substitute space has been provided". (See
Attachment I'D".)
(7) The Land Use Plan and Local Coastal Program of the City
of Newport Beach and the development policies contained
therein closely mirror those of the Coastal Act. The
Land Use Plan lists sportfishing establishments as a
"highest priority use" and provides for the City to
develop "parking incentives" to developments with such
use. (See Attachment "Ell.)
Mr. David Harshbarger
Mr. Tony Melum
September 27, 1990
Page Four
(8) The land uses of Newport Landing, adjoining the marina
are comprised solely of a restaurant, one small retail
shop (300 sq. ft.) and a portion of the four level
parking structure. The peak periods for the marina uses
occur in the morning and early afternoon while the peak
periods for the restaurant occur in the evening, thereby
providing the best possible combination of mixed uses
from a parking requirement and support standpoint.
(9) The current parking requirements for all water and land
uses within the Newport Landing Development is 58 off -
street parking stalls. Newport Landing, because of..
its ownership of Lot-'9 located beneath' the Edgewater
'Place parking structure, holds a Lease Agreement,
-approved by the City of Newport Beach on October 16, 1985
and recorded shortly thereafter, providing Newport
Landing with the "sole and exclusive rights" to 117311
,parking stalls within the parking structure "for the life
of the project". (See Attachment 'IF".) Additionally,
Newport Landing has provided four (4) additional parking
spaces directly behind the Newport Landing Restaurant
bringing the total number of exclusive parking stalls
available to Newport Landing up to 77 or 19 in excess of
what is currently required.
(10) The Edgewater Place parking structure contains 215
standard parking stalls and 41 compact stalls for a total
of 256 parking stalls within the structure. Since the
structure was originally completed in December of 1987,
it has never once been f illed to capacity, and it has
only exceeded a 50% occupancy level on a few occasions
(ie., Christmas Boat Parade, Mother's Day, etc.) since
it was opened.
(11) In addition to the on -site parking now provided in
connection with the Newport Landing development, within
a short distance of the marina there are three (3)
municipal parking lots which accommodate in excess of 800
vehicles and on -street metered parking for 150 vehicles
for a total of over 950 additional available public
parking stalls.
(12) The Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach
unanimously approved Use Permit No. 3076 at its meeting
of June 7, 1984. Their findings are attached hereto as
Attachment. 11G11. In connection with this Use Permit

application and approval, please also refer to the
attached background and analysis information provided to

As soon as you have had the opportunity to review this letter and
the various enclosures, I would appreciate the opportunity to sit
down and discuss the situation with you personally and address any
remaining concerns or questions which you may have. I could make

Re: Leasing of Commerical Marina Rights issued under a
Harbor Permit
Dear Ken:
In reviewing the Newport Beach Municipal Code I find no
prohibition against a Harbor Permittee leasing dock rights
given to him under a Harbor Permit. The only thing I
think I need to point out is that the lessee would be
under the same duties and restrictions as the permittee.
Other than that the Municipal Code does not prohibit
leasing dock rights. It is my understanding that in
a number of commercial locations the permittee has leased
the dock rights to other individuals or entities.
I hope this answers your questions. If you need
additional information call me at 644-3044.

Re: bock Repairs
Dear Ken:
I have attached copies of my November 5th letter to The Carlson
Company concerning the dock repairs requested as well as a
descri.ptioxi of work whlcli they ycvvidad LO 1A*.
Since I am flying up to San Francisco on Friday to meet with the
bank, I would appreciate it if you would review the attached (in
respect to sportfishing's area and access to it) and provida me
with a list of work not completed and/or additional maintenance and,
repair items required at this time. Also, are the firehoses and
housing in good shape? Is the electrical and water working in all
areas?
Additionally, BA Mortgage has stated that the "exc].usiy water
areas leased to us in conjunction with the sportfishing premises
cannot be exclusive to our use because "such a prohibition would
violate Newport Beach pier regulation". Since this is one
important bargaining chip we have for Fridays meeting, I would
appreciate it if you could talk to Tony or Dave at the Marine
Department and determine who's position is correct and obtain the
backup for same tomorrow for me to take to the meeting on Friday
horning.
Lastly, please check the log book set up by Newport Landing's
management to record any problems concerning the parking structure
and provide me with any new comments or complaints (along with your
observations as well.) for the past three weeks.

Dear Tony:

We received your letter of January 21st yesterday and very much
appreciated the update.
Since this issue is of the utmost importance and concern to us and
to our tenant, we would be very appreciative if there is anything
you, Dave, or we can do to help expedite the interpretations from
the City Attorney's office and/or the City's Planning Department.
As we pointed out in our letter to Dave of two weeks ago, time is
of the essence due to the required and contemplated delivery
schedule for Newport Landing Sportfishing, Ines., new sportfishing
vessel. As I am certain you and the City Staff can appreciate, the
investment in this new vessel is both substantial and necessary to
the operations at Newport Landing Marina.
We have appreciated the communications with you and your department
and hope that the City will shortly be in a position to reconfirm
the rights and uses permitted pursuant to our Use Permit #1086.
Very truly,

Re: Newport Landing Sportfishing Business Use Permit 1086
Dear Mr. Salisbury:
I am in receipt of your letter of January 12, 1990 regarding the
above subject . I have sent a copy of your letter, including
historical data, to the City Attorney's office and to the Planning
Department for their comment.
As we discussed at our meeting at the Marine Department, it appears
to us that there would be a need for additional parking for
increased passsenger service at the site. However, we must defer
to the City Attorneys office and the Planning Department and their
interpretations of the existing Use Permit.
We will provide this information to you as soon as it becomes
available to us.

Re: Newport Landing Marina
Sportfishing Business
Use Permit #1086
Dear Dave:
SALISBURY
ENTERPRISES,
INC.
Ken and I really appreciated having had the opportunity to meet
with both you and Tony Melum on Wednesday. We have always
attempted to be very up front and communicative with your
department as has our tenant, Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc.
During the meeting, we had the opportunity to share our thoughts
and concerns regarding any possible new limitations to our
sportfishing tenants' business and share with you the situation of
our expansion of the water and land related areas which were
acquired under a long term lease from the adjacent commercial
development known as Edgewater Place. The additional water area
which we control under a long term lease is cross -hatched in red
on the enclosure while the original water area of Newport Landing
Marina is outlined in yellow thereon. The additional water area
contains commercial piers pursuant to Commercial Pier Permit #0112-
0511-1 while the Commercial Pier Permit issued for the Newport
Landing Marina is #0112-0503-1.
The Use Permit for Newport Landing Marina was approved by both the
City Council and the Planning Department in November of 1964. In
respect to the sportfishing activities, the Use Permit allows for
the conducting of the sportfishing business previously operated by
Arthur Gronsky, which included six (6) sportfishing passenger boats
with a capacity of 250 people.
Following Mr. Growsky's sale of Art's Landing, the sportfishing
activities have been carried on by Newport Landing Sportfishing,
utilizing several different sportfishing vessels including the
"Southern California", "Helena", "Long Fin", "Explorer",
"Reveille", "Amigo", and the "Nautilus" to mention a few. The
latter three vessels are presently operating out of Newport Landing
along with several private sportfishing boats which berth
elsewhere. Additionally, as you are aware, Newport Landing
Sportfishing has completed design and plans to purchase a new 100
passenger capacity sportfishing vessel scheduled to arrive for the
upcoming peak sportfishing period.

Following our discussions with you and further discussions with our
sportfishing tenant we felt it appropriate to have the matter
reviewed by legal counsel for purpose of obtaining a legal opinion
on the matter since a denial by the Marine Department or the City
would impose a tremendous burden and unbearable financial hardship
on both us and our sportfishing tenant. We have now been advised
by legal counsel that Use Permit #1086 remains valid and operative
in respect to Newport Landing Marina along with all of the rights
granted thereunder. I believe that the Planning Department will
verify this to your reasonable satisfaction. Even though the uses
granted may be nonconforming in some respect, they are both
permitted and legal under the Use Permit issued. If necessary, I
also believe that the City Attorney's office would confirm this
position from a legal standpoint. The existing and contemplated
sportfishing use at Newport Landing Marina does not appear to
require any further approvals from City Staff or the City's
Council.
Dave, due to the required and contemplated delivery of the new
sportfishing vessel, time is of the absolute essence. We would all
be most appreciative if you would discuss our position with the
Planning Department and City Attorney, should you feel that is
necessary, and provide us with your response early next week. We
are hopeful that both you and the City will confirm our position
in this matter without the necessity of any further or unnecessary
approvals which require time that does not appear to be available
at this late date.
Again, we have appreciated the opportunity to discuss the situation
with you and Tony and hope that you appreciate our continued
efforts to be both communicative and responsive along with those
of our tenant, Newport Landing Sportfishing.

Re: Newport Landing Sportfishing, Inc.
Dear Messrs. Thompson and Watts:
This letter is in response to yours of December 11, 1989 wherein
you proposed to increase the size of the passsenger service at the
above location by 100 passengers. As I am sure you are aware, the
uses bayward of the bulkhead at the above site have existed
historically under a Use Permit dated November 2, 1964. My
research at the Planning Department and in the Marine Department
files does not indicate the pasenger numbers allowed at the site.
The permit indicates only that it was going to be sport fishing
boats, charter boats and fishing skiffs.
When Mark Howard purchased the property from Art Gronsky in 1983
it was my understanding with Mark that they were going to operate
approximately three sport fishing boats from the location with
approximately 150 passengers. It was my further understanding that
when the current operators took over the property they were, again,
going to operate with an approximate 150 passenger capacity and
that the three vessels that were going to operate from the site
had changed from the three vessels that were there with Mark
Howard.
While Art's letter dated January 1989 seems to suggest that he
operated with a 250 passenger capacity, it appears, that at least
\j in the last 6 to 7 years, 150 passengers have been typical of the
site. Again referring to the Use Permit, it appears that Art was
also parking vehicles for charter users on site. It is my
understanding now through the Planning Department that there is no
parking available and certainly no additional parking available at
the site and that the additional 100 passengers would either be
parking on City streets or in the public lot, since all spaces on
site or in the parking garage have been committed to other use.
Therefore, it is our opinion, based on the most recent (6 to 7
years) period, that the capacity of the fishing operations at the
site is 150 passengers. We are not concerned about the number of
boats that make up the passenger capacity, but 150 would be the
maximum passengers allowed on site. We do not feel we can increas
allowable passenger capacity by 100 without some additional parking
arrangements being made by the applicant or by the upland property
owners.
If you have questions in this regard pleae call me at 644-3044.
Sincerely

Re: Newport landing Marina
Additional Bait Receiver/Live Bait Sales
Dear Dave,
Well,1 have returned home today from my three week trip out of the country -
Since April I" is tomorrow, I'm hoping that you can give us a green light to complete the
manufacturing of our new live bait receiver in either the originally approved 18 foot width or in
the reduced width (16 foot) later requested.
For your convenience, I have attached another copy of my letter to you of March 8"'. If there is
any additional information or background that I can provide to you at this point, it would be my
pleasure.
T hope to hear back from you shortly.

Re: Newport Landing Marina
Additional Bait Receiver/Live Bait Sales
Dear Dave,
After six -plus months of attempting to have the Harbor Resources Division approve of our
request to add an additional bait receiver in the Newport Landing Marina to allow for live bait
sales, you stepped in and became our "hero" by avoiding Coastal and issuing a "temporary
permit" to operate on the same basis and schedules as the receiver in the harbor entrance. The
receiver was to be tied to the dock like a boat (cleat tie/not permanent fix). That all happened on
October 21
'd3 and I finally felt supported by my City representatives (you and Mike Henn).
It was n-iy understanding that the City was only goring to notify Coastal of what they were doing
but not ask for their permission and consent so we could quickly proceed and manufacture the
new bait receiver and begin selling live bait to the public.
After waiting several more months, Chris Miller finally sent a letter to Coastal on January 15`h
outlining the conditions and asking for Coastal's "concurrence" within 30 days. I requested that
the sentence requesting concurrence be deleted from Chris's letter before it was put into final
form, however this request was ignored.
On February 23rd, Shannon Levin notified us via email, "Yes, go ahead with the manufacturing.
I haven't had a. negative response from Karl." So finally, we have our approval, and notified the
manufactures` to proceed and prepared our payment check to hint.
A few days later the manufacturer suggested we cut the width of the receiver back, by two feet
(18 feet down to 16 feet) in order to allow it to be trucked from Washington more efficiently. I
promptly faxed a letter to Chris requesting the reduction to the width on March 1 ', thinking he'd
be happy with the size reduction. Having not heard hack, I faxed my letter to him again
requesting approval to the down -size since I was leaving the country for a month. We need to
have this receiver manufactured and in our marina by April I".

On Thursday afternoon, I received an email from Shannon attaching a very negative email
response from Coastal that was sent on March 2"" indicating that they "cannot concur and that
the prgiect requires a coastal permit" (full blown application)- Shanno►:a's email to me said "the
City recommends that 1 follow the course of action prescribed by the CCC", although they did
not rescind their prior approval to us.
While I think we are certainly in a position to go ahead and complete the manufacturing of our
bait receiver in the 18-foot width previously approved by Harbor Resources, 1 felt it appropriate
and a common courtesy to you and Mike Henn to share what has happened.
Dave, we .have now spent a. year trying to work through Harbor Resources on this matter, even
though we already have a Use Permit from the City that allows us to sell live bait in our marina,
and we .have added and reconstructed bait receivers in the past with the written approval of the
Tidelands Administrator and the Marine Director. Our original plans (18-foot width) have been
submitted to Harbor Resources and have been approved. Due to the continuing state of the
economy, sales at our fuel dock are running at only a fraction of where they were two years ago,
and our tenant has only been hanging on by a thread, wailing to drop the live bait receiver in and
start selling live bait on April I". The live bait sales will not only generate needed additional
sales for the tenant but also serve to attract additional boaters to the fuel dock for enhanced
revenues through the sale of fuels and other services available.
I departed ycst(.-.rda_y for a three-week mission trip to Vietnam and Thailand. and left this letter to
be faxed to you today with a copy going to Mike Henn as well. 1 will be in touch with my office
while I am out of the country, however there is a 14-hour time difference. My facsimile is (949)
251-0524 and my email address is dougra)12elicanl.net. I would very rauch appreciate hearing
back from you on this matter at an early date so we can hopefully finish the manufacturing in
either the IS' width originally requested or in the smaller width that would be more efficient.
I know how busy you are, and I'm really sorry to have to come to you (again) with this matter,
however we have clearly hit another major roadblock with Chris and Shannon in Harbor
Resources. Thank you again for your time, concern and responsiveness.

Subject: RE: Letter dated 1/15/10 re Bait Barge
Hi Shannon,
I've been on the look out for the letter you mentioned in your email below, but it didn't make it to my office until this week.
After reading the letter, I'm sorry that I cannot concur with the City's conclusion in the letter. I've previously discussed this
matter at length with my supervisors, all of whom have concluded that the proposal requires a coastal permit. Our
determination really had little to do with the duration of time that the bait barge was to be in place. Even structures that
are temporarily placed need a coastal permit. There is no exemption for placement of structures like this in coastal
waters. Since the applicant has to date not applied for a permit, I cannot give any sense of whether we see any
significant issues with the bait barge. The main concern I can identify at this point is the conversion of an existing boat
slip/tie up to the bait barge use. As you know, the Commission is concerned when there is a loss of boat slips. However,
the circumstances at this site may not warrant such concern. I won't know until we have a complete permit application to
review. At this point, I think its very counterproductive for this applicant to continue to fight against the permit
requirement. Had the applicant applied when I told him to, this whole process could have been complete by now. Tell
them to apply for coastal permit and let us move forward.

Re: Newport Landing Marina
New Bait Receiver
Dear Chris,
We were very happy to hear from Shannon last week that we could go ahead with the manufacturing
last week.
In working with the Manufacturer that we selected (Ferguson Industrial Plastics) we have determined
that it would be best to reduce the width of the receiver from 18' down to 16'. This will do two
things. First, it will bring it more in line with the balance of the existing floating dock to the South,
and secondly it will allow it to be trucked more easily from the manufacturer in Washington. I've
attached the revised drawing reflecting the two foot reduction in the width from the drawing
previously submitted.
While I assume that the down sizing would be viewed favorably by you, I would appreciate your
consent to the two foot reduction in width prior to us sending the purchase order out - - which we'd
like to do this week. Thank you!

Dear Chris,
It has now been over three (3) months since Dave Kiff told me that the City was approving our
application to install our new floating bait receivers in the Newport Landing Marina, via a
maintenance permit, on a schedule to match the bait receiver at the Harbor's entrance (April I'
through November 30'' of each year).
We now need to order the new custom made bait receiver (per the specifications previously
provided) in order to have it in place by the end of March. May we proceed with the fabrication at
this time?

Re: Newport Landing Marina
Floating Live Bait Receiver
Dear Mr. Miller,
As I am certain that you could tell, I remained frustrated and felt totally unresponded to as a result of our
telephone conversation of last Tuesday, August 25t'.
Since you did not appear to have all of the background concerning our request and application to expand
the live bait receiver at Newport Landing, I'd like to reconstruct it for you below:
• We have a Use Permit (No. 1086) that dates back to November 2, 1964, approved by the
City's Planning Commission on November 19, 1964, that allows "live bait sales" from our
marina.
• In May of 1984, the live bait receivers were updated and expanded. The use and the design
(per Section 17.36.020 of the Harbor Regulations) were both approved by the Tidelands
Administrator.
• In March of 1988, the Marine Director for the City reconfirmed our live bait receiver use.
• On April 28 and 29, 2009, we submitted detailed drawings and specifications for a new
live bait receiver to you, all in accordance with the provisions and requirements of Section
17.30.030 of the Harbor Use Regulations.
• After numerous telephone calls to you, we were advised that we would have to submit the
live bait receiver plans to the Building Department for review and approval.
• We then promptly met with Faisal Jurdi and two of the City's Engineers on June 30t'. We
reviewed the drawings with them, provided float calculations and pointed out that pursuant
to Section 17.30.030 of the Harbor Use Regulations "that a live bait receiver shall not be
deemed to be a `structure' within the meaning of Chapter 17.50" (Harbor Development
Permits). Faisal agreed that no building permit was required for a floating live bait
receiver.
• On that same day, we completed a permit application and paid the $180.00 permit
application fee requested and the drawings and permit application were forwarded back to
Harbor Resources Division for processing.
• After several more calls to you, you advised me on a telephone message left on July 91' that
the processing of our live bait receiver had been turned over to Shannon Levin in your
division. I immediately put in a call to Ms. Levin.
Mr. Chris Miller
September 1, 2009
Page Two
• After a couple of more calls to Ms. Levin, she returned my call on July 13th and advised me
that she believed that we may need to process permits with the Coastal Commission, the
U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers and the South Coast Water Quality Board, but that she
would check further and advise. After a 2 %2 month application process, I expressed my
disappointment, went through the history (Use Permit in place, previous approvals, the
further costs and delays that would put us beyond the high season for live bait sales, etc.,
etc.). Shannon agreed to at least check with the Coastal Commission and advise us of her
findings.
• On July 15ffi, Shannon called me and told me that we would need to process a full blown
CDP (v. Administrative RGP) permit application with the California Coastal Commission
($2,500 application fee), as well as apply for permits with both the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers and the South Coast Water Quality Control Board.
• I then asked Shannon to provide me with a copy of the Coastal Commission's
correspondence, but she only provided "excerpts" from the response. It referred to "a
change in use" and "intensity of use". It also said that "If this proposal would require
expansion of the dock and piles, we need the applicant to demonstrate why they can't
install the tank somewhere on the existing dock or on land. Since a live bait receiver must
float in sea water and it is simply tied up to the dock like a boat, it was obvious to me that
the person at the Coastal Commission who responded did not have any understanding at all
as to what a live bait receiver is. This is why I then requested copies of all of the
communications back and forth with Coastal.
• On July 16t', I requested that Shannon provide me with the name, title, telephone number
and email address of the individual who she spoke with at Coastal and requested a
complete copy of her communications to and the individual's response, rather than just
having a couple of selected "excerpts" from the response.
As a result of the above, I sent Shannon a very lengthy email on July 20t'. I have enclosed a copy herewith
so you can read it yourself. After waiting another 11 days, I sent Shannon the enclosed email on July 30I`
and got only the enclosed brief reply and no response whatsoever to my requests and/or comments, so I
tried again (see my email of August P) only to get the following response from Shannon, "I have given
you the tools to proceed. Unfortunately you do not agree with the procedure outlined by the Coastal
Commission". I tried again with my emails to Shannon on August 10�' and 17'h (copies enclosed). To this
date no response has been received to my July 20t` email and the several follow-up requests sent to her.
Chris, perhaps with the above background and the enclosed email copies, you can see why I have been (and
remain) very frustrated and feel unresponded to by your department. I think if you put yourself in my
shoes, you would feel exactly the same.
Since Shannon would not provide us with copies of her correspondence to and from the Coastal
Commission. Since Mr. Schwing at Coastal obviously did not even understand what a floating live bait
receiver was and did not receive an accurate description of our request, I contacted Mr. Schwing directly.
He is now reviewing our request again. It is interesting to note that the drawing that Mr. Schwing received
from Shannon "makes it look like a hole is being cut into a dock and a basket hung from its rim within the
hole" to quote Mr. Schwing. Shannon also referred to our live bait receiver as a "bait tank" in her
communications with coastal and referred to it as "increasing square footage and coverage". Having now
reviewed the communications from Shannon to Mr. Schwing it is understandable why Mr. Schwing's
excerpt said "If this proposal would require expansion of the dock and additional piles, we'll need the
applicant to demonstrate why they can't install the tank somewhere on the existing dock or on land".
Mr. Chris Miller
September 1, 2009
Page Three
Shannon also refused to respond to our many requests to come in and review the file for the other live bait
receiver, located inside the channel entrance in Newport Harbor. We wanted to review this file in order to
try and determine why they have been, and continue to be, "exempt" from a Coastal permit and the other
permits required for us, while we are told we are not exempt. It then became necessary for me to file a
request with the City Attorney, under the California Records Act, to wait several more weeks and to pay
$55.25 in fees in order to obtain copies of the file. In reviewing this file it appears clear that this other live
bait receiver operates with only a Commercial Harbor Activities Permit issued by the City's Harbor
Resources Division. The last extension of this permit was granted by your department on August 11, 2004
running for a period ending January 19, 2010. No communication or correspondence to and from the
Coastal Commission appeared in the file and no request for a CDP Coastal Permit, or permits or approvals
from the US Army Corp. of Engineers or the South Coast Water Quality Control Board were made by your
department. So, my question remains, why are they treated as exempt while you are requiring a CDP permit
and the other permits from us? Our live bait receivers have existed since 1964 where as the one located in
the channel entrance has only existed since 1987. We hold a Use Permit (No. 1086) that allows "live bait
sales" from our docks. The other receiver holds no such Use Permit.
When we spoke Iast week, you indicated that our request to tie the new floating live bait receiver to the
inside of our marina was viewed as a similar situation to Orange Coast College's request to add floats to be
tied within their marina area for their sailboats and for which you required a Coastal Permit. I went down to
their marina on Coast Highway to look at what you were referring to. I was very surprised to see a couple
of thousand square feet of solid floating material (strong enough to support dozens and dozens of sail boats)
permanently affixed to the existing dock. This use and application has no similarities whatsoever to our
request which is to tie (like a boat) a live bait receiver to our dock on the inside of our marina. The total
area of our proposed floating live bait receiver is only 18' x 32' (576 sq.ft.), it is not permanently affixed to
the dock, and it is not a solid material like the floats installed at O.C.C.'s facility. I have enclosed a series
of photos I took at the OCC facility over the weekend. A picture is worth a thousand words. As a point of
interest, the current bait receiver located in the channel entrance measures 30' x 75' and covers a water area
of approximately 2,250 square feet.
I have taken the time to write you this letter and to provide you with the various enclosures so that I know
that you now have all of background information concerning our April 29, 2009 request to you to expand
our live bait receivers within the Newport Landing Marina, in full accordance with Section 17.36.020 of the
Harbor Code. We continue to want to be in a position to sell live bait to the boating and fishing population
of Newport Harbor and again ask you for your full support and cooperation with our request to add the
small floating live bait receiver within the Newport Landing Marina.

Good Morning Shannon,
I realize that you have been out of your office since Thursday when I sent you my last email.
Since we last spoke, I have been extremely bothered and upset by the process we are now being told we
must go through in connection with our April 28, 2009 request for approval to install a new bait receiver
within the Newport Landing Marina, which already holds a Use Permit (No. 1086 dated November 3,
1964) for the bait receiver use and which use and expansion was reconfirmed by the Tidelands
Administrator in 1984 and by the Marina Director in 1988.
In re -reading the "excerpts" which you provided to me from the Coastal Commission response on
Thursday, it has become obvious that whoever you talked to did not have all the information- and "did not
even understand what a bait receiver is. The closing excerpt which you provided reads "If this proposal
would require expansion of the dock and additional piles (which we both know is not the case), we'll need
the applicant to demonstrate why they can't install the tank somewhere on the existing dock on land."
As a result of the above response and the request fora futtblown CDP'application to Coastal ($2,500 in
application fees plus surveys, etc.), I am now respectfully requesting a copy of your communication to the
Coastal Commission and a complete copy of the response that you received and only provided excerpts
from. This will give me a better understanding, which is now required. Thank you in advance for your
prompt response to this request.
I am also bothered by the fact that you are requiring us to go through this lengthy and expensive process
with three (3) additional governmental agencies when you previously confirmed to me that the only other
bait, receiver located in all of Newport Harbor, which comes and goes with the season, has not been
required to go through any of these three agencies for any approvals. In addition, it is my understanding
that this other bait receiver has been remodeled and expanded over the years without the necessity of
any further permits or with the change in ownership. I would like to make arrangements to come down to
your office and review their complete file at this time so I can determine why they remain "exempt" while
we are not being treated in the same manner. Please let me know when it is convenient for me to come
down to your offices for this review.
Lastly, since the live bait sales high season only lasts for perhaps another 60 days, we would like to bring
in a bait boat and tie it up to the inside of our marina (same location as the bait receiver was requested to
be tied up). In reviewing Section 17.10.025(F) of the current Harbor Code, private marinas, such as
Newport Landing Marina, are "exempt" from having to obtain a Marine Activities Permit if they operate
with a commercial pier permit issued by the City, which we operate under. Our intent is to use the bait
boat to conduct live bait sales under the terms of our Use Permit. Please advise promptly. Thank you!
In closing, it seems most unfair to me to request what you have requested of us, particularly considering
our history and prior approvals, when the other bait receiver continues to be treated entirely differently. By
this action, the City is allowing a live bait sales monopoly to exist, which is not in the best interests of the
boating community of Newport Beach. Presently, the existing bait receiver will only sell their bait by the
full scoop, which is very expensive and certainly not reasonable for the smaller boats and individual
fishermen.
Shannon, l will look forward to your prompt responses to all of the above. I do hope that you both
understand my frustrations and my concerns. I have always tried to do things by the book during by 61
year history as a resident of Newport Beach, but I am uncomfortable if I believe I am being treated
unfairly.

Shannon,
After waiting another 11 days, I just received your response to my lengthy email to you of July 201. I have
attached another copy of that communication hereto for your handy reference.
I immediately called your office (3:35pm) only to get your voicemail. I left a message and asked you to
please promptly return my call so we could discuss it.
In my email to you of July 20th, I expressed a lot of feelings and concerns, but I also made three specific
requests of you as follows:
1. Provide a copy of your communication to the Coastal Commission and a complete (not limited
_ excerpts) copy,_of_the response that .you. received..
2. 1 asked to make arrangements to come down to your office and review the complete file on the
other bait receiver (seasonal) (previously owned and operated by Greyshock) so that I might have
the opportunity to determine why they remain "exempt" while we are not being treated in the same
manner.
3. Your consent to bring in a bait boat and tie it up to the inside of our marina (same location as the
bait receiver was requested to be tied up)
Shannon, your short response said nothing in response to any of my comments, observations or to my
three requests of July 20th. I think all three questions are appropriate, reasonable (especially under the
circumstances) and deserving of a prompt and complete response, particularly before I am required to
spend close to $10,000 and pursue a full blown Coastal Permit application (CDP) as you have instructed
me to do.
The courtesy of your complete response to the above will be both expected and appreciated without
further delays or avoidance.

Mr. Salisbury
I am sorry for your frustration at the process to install the bait receiver at Newport Landing. The process
has been explained to you and Bill Falkenstein a number of times beginning in April up until now. I have
reached out to the Coastal Commission on your behalf and received the answer I expected. This was
also relayed to you.
I am sorry that I cannot expedite the process so you must apply as an individual to obtain proper
permitting. I encourage you to contact one of the local companies to aid your application submittal.
You should contact Shellmaker Inc. (949) 548-5359 or Swift Slip (949) 631-3121.

I was so disappointed that you did not return my telephone call on Thursday or Friday, nor give me the
courtesy of a response to my three specific requests of you from July 20tn
I do not like being stuck, but until I get the information and responses requested from you, I am simply
stuck and waiting. I can not make a decision on how best to proceed with the bait receivers until I receive
the information and responses requested from you.
Shannon, please provide the information and responses requested at this time without further delays.

Shannon,
received your two sentence response of August 31d to my lengthy letters and requests of July 20th, which
I restated to you on July 30tn
Your response said "I have given you the tools to proceed", however I strongly disagree with this. The
tools I need are set forth in items 1 and 2 of my July 30tn email to you (copy attached for your handy
reference). Why is this information being denied? Am I not entitled to this information, particularly under
the circumstances?
Secondly, you have not responded to my request of July 20tn to bring in a bait boat and tie it up in the
inside of our marina (same location as live bait receiver was indicated) where a boat is currently tied up.
reviewed and spoke to Section 17.10.025 (F) of the current Harbor Code in that letter in connection with
this request.

Re: Newport Landing Bait Receivers
Dear Chris,
I just realized that when the letter and enclosures went out to you yesterday that the material
specifications were not included. They are as follows:
1. PVC coated wire mesh panels
2. Schedule 80 PVC pipe framework in water
3. 4" x 4" treated lumber frame on top
4. 2" x 6" treated lumber lift off hatches
5. 1/4" marine plywood removable bottom above PVC coated wire mesh bottom.
Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me. We are most
anxious to manufacture and install the new receivers at the earliest possible date, ahead of the high
season.
Very truly,

Yes, of course! Coincidence because I was just sitting down to compose a letter to Mr. Salisbury, and I thought today was
the perfect day to do so. I guess I'll hold off on the letter now that we'll be talking soon (though he'll bring up the lack of
response in our call next week..he wouldn't have liked my response anyway.)
Here's the nutshell:
He is asking us to permit installing bait receivers at his dock. The receivers will be floating and side tied to his existing
float. Building says they are not structures per our Code, so there is no problem there. But, as you can see by the
attachment, one cannot deny the increase in use nor the fact that they'll be permanent in nature to the dock. To be fair
and consistent, I have to advise him (and others) to seek agency approval of which I'd be happy to facilitate. Shannon,
with permission from Doug, asked Karl Schwing who responded that it is a "change in use and intensity of use of the area
the bait receiver is occupying" so a CDP would be requrired (as we advised him several months ago.) However, Karl says
that he "doubts it would take us that long to process a permit so long as the applicant provideds all the info we need and is
willing to work cooperatively with us."
I concur, and also compare it to temporary floats at OCC and how they got caught by Coastal recently. It's the closest
thing I can compare to. Doug disagrees wiht my assesssment and comparison.
Doug is appealling to Karl to reconsider. If Karl approves without a permit, then I am okay too. Unfortunatley though,
Doug does not want to pay the Coastal application fee which is relatively high.
Shannon and I have wracked our brains to find some sort of an escape clause, but this is how we'd respond to anyone
else.
We'll both be available Tuesday through Friday next week.

Would you folks mind a sit-down just with me (maybe Chris by conference phone, Shannon in person) to go over the
facts on this one? Mr. Salisbury is talking actively with Mike Henn about this still. I'll have Shirley set it up for next
week.

Mr. Schwing,
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Harbor Resources Division
The City of Newport Beach has decided to allow the short term installment of a
temporary bait receiver at the Newport Landing Marina, 503 Edgewater Place, Newport
Beach 92661.
Harbor Resources has determined that: 1) this additional receiver will not be
permanently attached to the existing floats, but rather side tied via cleats, much like a
vessel would side tie, 2) a City Building permit is not required because this receiver will
not be considered a "structure", and 3) this receiver will only be present during a
predetermined number of months a year. Therefore, the City does not believe any
permits are necessary for this bait receiver and we are asking the Coastal Commission
to concur. This additional bait receiver will also enhance the visitor -serving commercial
recreational facility and will enhance local coastal recreation.
You have previously indicated that a long term or permanent placement of a new
receiver would require a permit because it would change the intensity of use. The
applicant is now proposing a shorter term use of tanks (April through November) similar
to the temporary operation of our off -shore harbor bait barge.
The subject location has two functioning bait tanks authorized to sell live bait per Use
Permit No. 1086 approved in 1964 by the City's Planning Commission. In 1984 the
Tidelands Administrator approved the use and design of the expansion of the existing
receiver system. The entire receiver system at the subject location would continue to
function in the same role, however, the bait capacity and sport -fishing bait service
frequency would increase during the select period (see attachments).
Requirements of the City approving this additional temporary receiver shall be
contingent upon acceptance of the following terms.
1. Bait receivers may be in place for a time not to exceed April 1 - November 30 of
any given year.
2. Bait receivers must be installed in a temporary fashion. It is mandatory that
installation and/or removal be possible in a period of not more than 3 hours.

PH: (949) 644-3034 FX: (949) 723-0589 • www.newportbeachca.gov
3. No person shall commercially operate a bait receiver without first obtaining a
Marine Activities Permit (MAP) or alter the conditions of an existing MAP. NBMC
17.10
4. Bait receiver will have a screen tray bottom to retain all dead bait within the
receiver which can be raised to dispose of dead bait. Bait receiver shall also
have a screen or solid cover which fits closely. NBMC 17.30.030B
5. Receiver shall be covered at all times unless bait is actually being transferred to
or from the tank. NBMC 17.30.030D
6. No person shall place or allow to be placed any live or dead bait in the confined
waters of Newport Harbor except when it is attached to a hook or hooks in the
act of fishing. NBMC 17.30.030E
7. It is unlawful for any person to feed or provide food to any non -domesticated
animal. NBMC 7.30.010
8. It is unlawful for any person to deposit, put, place, drop, dump or throw or cause
to be deposited, put, placed, dropped, dumped or thrown any food, refuse, fish,
or fish parts into the waters of Newport Bay including, but not limited to, washing
down a vessel or dock containing fish parts, bait or food into the waters of
Newport Bay; or pumping live or dead bait out of holding tanks of a vessel or a
dock into the waters of Newport Bay. NBMC 7.30.030 A.
9. Any other alteration to operation or dock system must be authorized by the City
of Newport Beach and may be subject to further agency approval.
10. No person shall transfer live bait from one vessel to another vessel or sell the
same at retail from a vessel within the limits of Newport Harbor, except when all
vessels involved are moored to a pier and are within the Pierhead Line, except
that during a period of adverse conditions of sea or beaches causing the transfer
from offshore receivers to be hazardous, a location inside the harbor may be
used with the approval of the Harbor Resources Manager. NBMC 17.30.030F
According the Newport Beach Municipal Code (NBMC) the proposed additional receiver
does not constitute a structure and may bypass the City's plans examiner. However,
upon local approval, Harbor Resources will issue conditions as stated above to restrict
the intensity and use of this particular additional bait receiver system. Within 30 days
Harbor Resources is asking for your concurrence based on these facts herein.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or questions concerning this project.
Thank you

Dear Doug:
Thank you for your recent March 8t' letter and follow up faxes that describe the process you
and the Harbor Resources Division have taken to help resolve your request to install the bait
receivers I can certainly appreciate your frustration at the length of time it has taken to get to
this point. 1 too would like the bait receivers in place as soon as possible.
As you properly note, Chris and Shannon contacted the Coastal Commission as part of our
agreedupon solution to help you through this process. Collectively we decided to inform the
Coastal Commission of our decision for you to proceed, but we also offered them an
opportunity to provide comments within 30 days of our letter. Unfortunately, they responded
a few days after our 30 day timefrarne, and they said that yes, indeed, permits would be
necessarv. It's tough to fight the Commission. I think the best thing to do is comply.
I've instructed' Harbor Resources to help speed this process along.to the best of their ability. in
addition, per our agreement last fall, I am willing to contribute $1,000.00 towards securing
permits with the regulatory agencies to assist you. I recognize that you may disagree with the
agency's opinions, but the City must work with the agencies instead' of around them.
Sincerely,
