Cook's plan to dock his 55-foot yacht off Balboa Island has irked residents and brought city officials to scrutinize the proposal. ' 1\vo attempts by NEWPORT the Soµth Bay Front IEACH property owner to park the boat parai- 1e1 to the beach have failed already. At first, a third option to berth it perpendicular to the shore seemed to get initial approval from folks down at City Hall. But after ta.king a clo'Ser look last week, Councilman Steve Bromberg, who represents the island, said Cook's latest proposal might involve a city review as well. The boat is so wide that it crosses over the pro~rty line between 1106 and 1108 South Bay Front and that's not allowed. Cook would have to trim back his pier to move the boat over by sev- eral feet. And such remodeling work requires a city permit. Cook's lawyer argues that his client owns both properties and a January covenant recorded them as •a single parcel and building site." That might be true for Cook's property, city officials responded, but the covenant h8$ no effect on what happens out on the water. Council members will spend some time talking about the issue as they ta.ke a look at their pier policy during a study session on Tuesday afternoon. -...... WWcJer COYef'S Newport Bead\.

The residents of Crystal Cove celebrated their final Fourth of July holiday Wednesday.

The residents in March ended a 20-year court bat- tle to stay on the beach front.

The state bought the property from the Irvine Co. for $32.6 mil-lioo in 1979.

The building was designed to be 20 feet tall with a round tower 25 feet high. "There wasn't a lot we could do,• said City Councilman Chris Steel. "We aren't allowed to spot zone and people want us to spot beautify. We can't decide what is beautiful.

Qty Coundhnan Gary Monahan and Mayor Libby Cowan voted for the 18-foot limit, while Councilwomen Linda Dixon and Karen Robinson dissented. Dixon was in favor of deny- ing the project, saying it is incompatible with the sur- rounding area. Monahan said the final deci- sion was a compromise.

It's not high-tech, with its iridescent paint warnings on the walls, glow-in-the-dark skeletons and canned screams and cackles, but it did make me scream once. The carousel was first class all the way, thanks to the view and my silver steed, which was in top con- dition. Next I tried the Little Drummer Boy ride. which is a close relative to the spin- ning teacups. Not knowing my own strength, I cranked the center wheel until I feared the loss of my eggs Benedict. But the two llttle girls in the drutn next to me, Ashley Mcintyre, 8, and her sister Devon, 5, touted the ride as very fun. I passed up the bumper cars, fearing I'd look like a bully because the other dri- vers at the time were all younger than 10.

I t may just be a drop in a huge, muck-filled bucket. Or it could cause enough ripples to ~elp clean the Upper Newport Bay. What effect $600,000 in fed- eral funds will have on the major restoration of the Back Bay is anybody's guess. The money, promised for the job last month as part of the House of Representative's 2002 energy and water buctget, is a . very small portion of the $35 million ne.eded to complete the work, $21 million of which is now set to be paid for by Washington. It was not even half of the $1.75 million Newport Beach officials were hoping to receive. But it is still a step in the right direction. And it is a step that n eeded to be taken. The Back Bay, as bas been well documented, desperately needs routine dredging to keep from clogging up because of all the sediment that flows into the basin from •JI I inland. And the cost isn't cheap. The dredging of the late 1990s cost nearly $7 .5 million, in part because heavy El Nino rains in 1997 and 1998 brought more silt than normal flowing into the bay. The latest, ambitious $35- million project, which is sched- uled for 2003, would involve more than just dredging. The plans call for moving an island in the bay and adding new Wet- lands in an attempt to sl~w the constant filling. It is no small undertaking, but it is one that could improve the h~th of the bay for years. The good news is that ever so slowly, the pot of money needed to rejuvenate the area is filling up -in much the same way that the bay, itself, gets loaded to dangerous overflow. Some $8 million in state money has been tentatively set aside, as well, leaving about S5 mil- lion more for local agencies to amass. lhle, there is a huge amount of money still needed. But the bay's future seems only to be getting brighter.

At that. the State Parks Department will take over to pre- serve the 46 cottages, many of which are about 80 years old. One of the departing residents is Crystal Cove activist Laura Davick, who has spent 40 of her 42 years living in what is now recognized as a historic district. Her late parents actually met at the Cove long before they were able to 1~ one of the cottages, labeled No. 2 because it was only the second one to gain access to electriaty. Dally Pllot Asmtant City Editor James Meter sat down with Davick on Thursday at her cottage -built in the late 1920s -to discuss her history at the cottages and her con- tinuing efforts to ensure their ptesel'vation.

I admire all of them and their dedication. Do you think the state will be able to p"'5el'Ve the cottages well enoughf I have some concerns, and the rea- son I do is because I've been told the state does not have funds for the restoration of the cottages at this time. However one of the things I'm doing through the Alliance to Rescue Crystal Cove is I'm implementing a monitoring program for the cottages upon the residents departing from here. So it'll begin Monday. This will be a monitoring program to determine what condition the cottages are in now, and I will photograph, videotape, docwnent and survey each cottage. And the reason I'm doing this is because, one, someone needs to be a watchdog down here and, two, due to my experience with my work and familiarity with all of the cottages, I'm very familiar with the interiors and exteriors and I'D be able to identify any vandalism. breakage, break-ins, deterioration, etc. So I met with State Parks on Tues-day and proposed to them my moni- tonng program and they embraced it So I will begin docwnenting on Mon- day. So, I'D come down on a routine basis -probably twice a week ._ walk through the historic district cot- tage by cottage and look for signs or break-ins, gtaffiti. any type of deteri- oration that's occwrtng. And I'll be forwarding this information to the State Historic Preservation office as well as State Parks. But the real purpose of this is to determine what the condition is, so that if the cottages are not cared for, we will be able to tell what the oondi- tion was upon the tenants' departure.

I remember at age 6 or 7, we would set the alarm for whatever time the minus tide was, whether it was 3 or 4 in the morning, and we would get our flashlights and walk down the beach to the tide pools and collect shells. And that's when shells were very plentiful down here. Also, I had a horse at the llvine Equestrian Center that was up on the bluffs. When I was 13, I would ride my horse down here bareback down the entire stretch of Crystal Cove State Park. which is 3.2 miles. And 1 would take him into the ocean with a halter around his neck. Growing up here, it has been an absolute perfect environment. I com- pare growing up here to winning the lottery. It's had such a tremendous impact on my life.and it continues to. That's why I've dedicated my life to preserving it. I don't know how my life could have been without Ctystal Cove. All I can say is that I'm so grateful for what I've had here. Fowth of July were also fond memories down here. All the families would go on the beach at night. We'd all have fireworks and we'd take turns lighting them and we'd have to wait for everything to do them. Last night (July 4 f, we actually had fireworks on the beach, and I think it was the first time that we've actually been able to shoot oU fire- works in several years.

In his commentary on June 28 (•u Cook wants to block views, that's his right,•) Minney suggests that Lodwrick Coo~ bu the right to block his own view in front of his own house. Minney seems to think that Cook's actiom don't affect anyone else but Cook. However, in front of Cook's two homes is a public boardwalk and a public beach. He does not have the right to take away the public's use of the beach and access to the harbor from the beach. His boat is sitting on water tha\ is public property. It is not sit- ting on his private property. In addifion, I have a personal problem with his boat being parked in front of his house even though it is now perpendicular to the bay front. His boat is now sit- ting about two to three feet away from my boat that is on the shore mooring for which I have had a pennit for almost 20 years. U I move the mooring closer to the beach, it would have to be extremely close to the sea wall in order to have clearance from bis boat. That would make the moor- ing useless much of the time due to the tides. It would also make my boat more vulnerable to van- dalism. U I move the mooring sideways, my boat will be m dan- ger of hitting the boat on the mooring next to it. What if 1 want to put a catamaran on the moor- ing -which I may legally do as long as it is no longer than 18 feet? My point is that Minney is so concerned about Cook's nghts that he hasn't thought about other people's rights that have been infringed upon by Cook's actions.
