It is projected that construction would occur, in 1985. The bridge project is being done in conjunction with road widening (six lanes) and curb and gutter work for the West Newport area. As the new bridge may encroach into the far west end of the City - owned property identified as West Newport Park, the project should be reviewed by the Commission.

I am aware that your association is currently reviewing this matter for inclusion in the Commission's study of the matter. If there is a written communication that can be provided to the Commission, receipt of that communication should be received in my office by February 23, 1982, in order to be included in the agenda material.

The Tidelands Affairs Committee rdcoimiended that the Park Beach and Recreation Committee review this concept with input from the .Central Newport Beach Homeowner's Association. Currently there aft two options for securing dinghy racks. The Irvine Company has some salvaged'dinghy racks which would accomodate approximately forty small dinghys. These racks are in fairly good condition and would be offered to the City at no cost. Secondly, the staff has secured a set of plans , for dinghy racks and is currently evaluating the cost to construct same. Should the City choose to construct racks it is hoped that this could be done during the 1982 -83 fiscal year as part of the Capital Improvement section of the budget. It is the current thinking that the regulation of and minimal rent for the dinghy racks would• be administered by the Marine Department staff. If you have any questions please give me a call. _Gbt��.I?lfY✓ DAVID HARSHBARGER Marine Director DH:db 3J • November 25, 1981 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUBJECT BACKGROUND • CITY OF'NE14PORI BEACH MARINE DEPARTMENT TIDELANDS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE Marine Department DINGY BERTHING FOR OFF SHORE MOORINGS (SOUTH LIDU CHANNEL) The Tidelands Affairs Committee, because of citizen in -put, has requested the staff to investigate the possibility of constructing a finger float addition to; either the 15th Street and West Bay public bay pier, or the 19th Street and West Bay public bay pier for the purpose of berthing dingies used by the off shore mooring permittees. This berthing will allow off shore mooring tenants a location to berth their dingies for a period of, approximately four to twenty -four hours when they go ashore. the Newport Beach Municipal, Code - Section 17.28.010 "Maintenance of Public Fliers- Regulations" states: "Public piers and other harbor facilities may be maintained by the City for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, supplies and boating gear and for similar purposes. It is the policy of tine City to maintain such facilities in a manner that will permit the greatest public use and avoid continuous occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof. Where necessary to achieve public use and avoid extended occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof, the City tlanager is authorized and directed to post signs limiting the time during which a vessel may be docked or supplies or gear may be placed at or on any such pier or facility to twenty (20) minutes except that a four -hour limit is imposed on.the'Rhine Wharf Park, subject to the following conditions: (1) the Harbor Master shall have the authority to limit the size of vessels using said facility; (2) vessels using this facility shall be in the actual process of loading, unloading or engaged in temporary repairs,; and (3) the Harbor Master may .authorize an extension of the four -hour period where special circumstances dictate such an extension.' When a sign.is in place giving notice of such time limits, no person shall dock a vessel at any such facility for a period of time in excess of that period, or permit any supplies or gear to remain on such facility for a period in excess of that posted on the sign." • The above quoted Newport Beach Municipal Code Section has been periodically enforced by both the City and the Harbor Department with respect to the twenty minute mooring time limit. Prior to 1971, numerous dingies were -1- Tidelands Affairs Committee �L November 25, 1981 Page two • allowed to tie, both to the 15th Street and lengthy periods of time. In 1971 the street public piers were becoming so congested with that the Council placed a twenty minute time these piers. At the same time, the Council, the hand launching of dingies at the various and for access to the off -shore moorings. DISCUSSION 19th Street public piers for ends in the vicinity of these dingies permanently berthed, limit on tying dingies to by ordinance, provided for street ends as an alternative The staff has looked at the following three alternatives for a Tidelands. Affairs Committee discussion: 1. 15th Street and West Bay Public Pier: The 15th Street street end'is 100 feet in width. To the west of 15th Street is the American Legion City lease. Immediately to the east of 15th Street is single family residential. The 15th Street public pier is a standard pier ramp and rectangular float 24 feet in length by 20 feet in width. It is possible to construct a four foot by 20 foot finger-float attached to the rectangular 15th Street float on the west side of this public pier. This would accommodate berthing for approximately 15 to 18 dingies. The cost to construct this would be approximately 1,600 to 2,000 dollars. Attached to this report is an aerial photograph at-one inch to • eighty feet scale showing the three alternatives, the proposed addition and the surrounding uses. 2. 19th Street and West Bay Public Pier: The public pier at 19th Street the off shore mooring zone and 15th Street public pier. 19th side by residential and commer the 19th Street public pier is 19th Street to 16th Street. and West Bay is at the east end of is not as centrally located as the Street is surrounded on the west :ial facilities. The east side of open public beach extending from Both 19th Street and 15th. Street public pier currently have the 20 minute tie up limit. At the present time, the 19th Street public pier is heavily used in the summer by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for their dingy and Sabot sailing- lessons. Because of the amount of open space and public beach immediately to the east of the 19th Street public pier, there is available space to add a finger float for the purpose of tying dingies. Presently, 'the zone from 19th Street extending east to 18th Street is a protected swimming area, by City ordinance. This area, during summer months, is bouyed by swim lines to protect swimmers from hard objects in the swimming zone. Technically, there is enough room to accommodate a four by twenty foot finger float on the east side of the 19th Street public pier without materially affecting • the proctected swirining zone. , .ha • • • tidelands Affairs Committee November 25, 1931 page three 3. Dingy Racks -Dry Land Storage: A third possiblility would be the construction of dingy racks orr the old 15th Street bowling greens, immediately south and adjacent to the American Legion building. The green open space park area at 15th Street could accormradate low profile wood or steel con- structed dingy racks without incumbering very much of the 15th Street park. The dingy racks are not as convenient as an in -water dingy berthing area, however, they would offer a place that dingier could be stored for a limited period of time in fairly close proximity to the water's edge. POTENTIAL CONCERNS Should the Tidelands Affairs Committee consider a finger float at either 15th Street or 19th Street public .pier, the staff would recommend that the following concerns be addressed: 1. The 15th Street, street end is now heavily used for the launching of Hobie Cats and smaller trailerable vessels. Staff has received numerous complaints that can be summarized as conflict of use situations. In addition, the home owners immediately to the east have complained that 15th Street has become too congested. There also appears to be conflicts between fishermen that use the 15th -Street float, swimmers and bathers who use the beach and off shore mooring permittees who launch their, dingies at 15th Street and leave them tied to the public pier. 2. The 19th Street public pier is currently, as mentioned above, used by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for their sailing program. The limited berthing of.dingies could possible impact this program. 3. Either the 19th Street or the 15th Street zone is very limited with regards to the amount of area versus the potential demand. Staff is concerned that limited in -water dingy storage could become an enforcement problem whereby dingies will be left on a permanent basis, thus precluding dingy space for those people that would leave their dingies there for a three or four hour period of time. 4. Mooring Per•mittees, in other zones of the lower harbor-, for example around Balboa Island and off the east end of the peninsula, might also petition the City Council for similar facilities in those areas. Currently, it doesn't appear practical to provide dingy storage on public piers around Balboa Island or at street ends on the peninsula. The 19th or 15th and Bay project could possibly set a precedent or impact mooring rates in other locations where no dingy berthing is available. Tidelands Affairs Committee November 25, 1981 page four RECOMMENDATION If the Tideland Affairs Committee wishes to pursue any of these concepts, the staff would suggest that one of the three alternatives be presented to the affected home owner's association as well as the Parks, Beaches and -Recreation Department for their in -put. Secondly, after receipt of this in -put, and should the Tidelands Affairs Committee wish to proceed, staff would reconvend that they be directed to prepare a 'Capital Improvement Project Request' to be submitted during the 1982 -83 budget hearings.

Whitley, Director Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92663 Re: Dinghy Racks: 15t4 Street Park Newport Beach, California Dear Ron: Balboa, Ca. 92661 This letter is in reply to your letter of February 8, 1982, and letters from the Marine Department dated January 27, 1982, and November 25, 1981, regarding dinghy racks and storage at the 15th.Street Park. • ,I have discussed this subject with the Directors of our Community Association and with interested neighbors and we have serious concerns about this type of use at the 15th Street Park. Our Community Association worked long and hard for 'several years to establish this park and to improve it for the use of the community at large for games such as volley ball, badminton, basket ball, and other recreational games. 'We acknowledge that it is not a big park but it is one of the few recreational parks on the Peninsula which is a green area for the public-at large to use. Our Association Directors feel that the construction of dinghy racks at the 15th Street Park may create the following problems: 1. A conflict of use of the Park between dinghy owners and the general public who want to use the Park to play games might arise. 2. The storage racks will create an attractive nuisance with rudders, oars and other equipment stored in and around the racks, subject to theft, vandalism and breakage. • • Mr. Ronald A. Whitley February 17, 1982 -2- 3. It is reasonable to assume'that the dinghy racks would not be used as temporary berthing but would be used as permanent berthing by off -shore mooring permittees. Can the City justify building dinghy racks use of off -shore mooring permi'ttees and pro'. the general public? We are concerned that would become so popular that more and more that they be furnished dinghy rack storage would be hard for the City to refuse these for the exclusive iibit the use by dinghy rack storage groups would request facilities also. It requests. 5. It appears to our association that dry land dinghy storage will add to the congestion at 15th Street. The limited area versus the potential demand will create an enforcement problem to the 'Marine Department that will be difficult to handle to the satisfaction of the boaters, the swimmers, the fishermen, the Park users and the homeowners nearby. • If the City desires to accommodate the off -shore mooring permittees'w.i'th dinghy storage would it be possible to build the dinghy racks on the south side of the American Legion Parking lot? This area has asphalt paving; is fenced and could be controlled and supervised by the American Legion to offset its costs for this activity. In conclusion, our Community Association is opposed to the construction of dinghy racks at the 15th Street Park as presented.. RBP:hh is S' erely, uj.d, & P&9 Richard B.

The City Council requested a staff report on said subject with the specific recommendation that the item be reviewed by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission at their March meeting and the report to be presented for City Council action on March 22, 1982. As you know, the Commission at your meeting of May 5, 1981 recommended that the City accept the dedication but urged the City Council to negotiate the park credit to be reduced in amount as requested by the Irvine Company. It is felt that the Council is now asking what • the acre number the Commission would recommend. I have provided the ordinance that provides guidelines for park dedication for your review. The Mouth of Big Canyon is questionable as it is applied to the criteria in the ordinance. Additionally, the use and need of a facility in this location should be discussed. It does provide open space; ",but, what.can be developed should be analyzed on a priority basis. I also am providing listings of December 11, 1981, (Irvine Company); December 16, 1981, (City); and February 23, 1982, (City) that give an analysis of dedication requirements and credit proposals to show you what is being proposed in the Mouth of Big Canyon proposal: If there are any questions on any of this material'feel free to give me a call.

Wynn City Manager City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 SUBJECT: Mouth of Big Canyon Park Credits Dear Bob: We would appreciate your assistance in scheduling a presentation by our company to the City Council' regarding Mouth of Big Canyon park credits to be held at the Study Session of February 8, 1982. • As you are aware we have had a series of meetings with Mayor'Heather and representatives from the Planning Department and Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department on this matter. The purpose of the Study Session presentation would be to inform the Council of the status of our negotiations on park credits and to request subsequent formal Council action. It is our intent to request Council approval of 12.5 acres of park credit in exchange for dedication of approximately 38 acres of land in the Mouth of Big Canyon for park and open space purposes. Our park credit request is based on an analysis prepared by EDAW, Inc. which concluded that 12.5 acres are suit- able for park development. This includes 10 acres of flat usable land on the site of the recontoured dredge spoil pile, and 2.5 acres adjacent to.Jamboree Road. We believe that the potential value of this property for development purposes warrants the full 12.5 acres of park credit we are requesting. Further, the requested amount of park credit is in keeping with understandings we believe were reached between our company and the City Council during dis- cussions on the Backbay Gravity Sewer and the Newport Beach Local Coastal 'Program. A parcel of approximately 11 acres, encompassing the restored marsh area, has already been dedicated to the California Department of Fish and Game. Copies of maps illustrating the EDAW analysis are attached for your informa- tion. To assist you in considering this proposal, I am attaching a chronology of events leading up to this request. • 3 We are hopeful of reaching some agreement soon with the City on the amount of • park credit. The final map for Big Canyon Site 10 will be reviewed by the City in the next two months. As you may be aware, Big Canyon Site 10 is one project for which we had intended to dedicate land in the Mouth of Big Canyon. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Please contact me if I can be of any assistance. Sincerely, i hard G. Sim V'ce President C mmunity Development Division- Attachments: 1. Chronology 2. Excerpt on Mouth of Big Canyon from LCP 3.

The Irvine Company indicated that approximately 14 acres met park usability criteria. Proposed wording describing this arrangement was submitted by The Irvine Company for inclusion in LCP. (The Big Canyon GPA has been initiated.) o February 9, 1981 City Council took a straw vote to approve LCP wording pertaining to dedication /park credit agreement. (See Attachment 2) o February 18, 1981 Coastal Commission approved Backbay Gravity Sewer subject to condition of recontouring of dredge spoil pile, restoration of 7 acres of degraded marshland, and open space easement. o April 13, 1981 The Irvine Company addressed Council at Study Session, as part of status report on Backbay Gravity Sewer, and indicated that results of EDAW study showed 12.5 acres should qualify for park credit, and urged Council action on park credits and acceptance of dedication. At regular meeting, Council formally adopted LCP, including wording on Mouth of Big Canyon. o April 14, 1981 The Irvine Company forwarded written request to Planning Department for review of EDAW findings for purpose of initiating Council action on park credit issue. o May 5, 1981 Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission reviewed dedication /park credit proposal, and approved concept but recommended that amount of park credit be reduced from 12.5 acres. o June 1, 1981 Planning Department contacted The Irvine Company, and indicated staff was prepared to recommend to Council that 5 acres of park credit be granted. The Irvine Company responded that 5 acres was unreasonable. • • • City staff later proposed that park credits be granted to cover future residential in Newport Center (per Planning Commission recommendation on GPA 80- 3).and in Big Canyorn (Sites 10 and 16) which at that time was equivalent to approximately 9.5 acres. The Irvine Company suspended discussions with City at that time due to uncertainty over amount of residential to be designated in the General Plan for Newport Center. o December 14, 1981 Backbay Gravity Sewer line completed and dedicated. o December 17, 1981 The Irvine Company met with Mayor, Planning Department and Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department regarding amount of park credit. Staff produced list of planned residential sites showing 7.6 acres of park credit. o January 13, 1982 The Irvine Company met with Mayor and staff, and responded that 7.6 acres was not a reasonable amount of park credit.
