James Harris, architect, addressed the
Council, and displayed a drawing of the
rooftop area and the landscape plan,
which he stated carries out the
requirement: of the Planning Commission.
Discussion ensued, wherein it was noted
that the application, as approved by the
Planning Commission, requires landscape
treatment of the roof, and that the
landscape treatment be reviewed by the
Planning Commission. However, the
hearing before the Planning Commission
and the City Council was not advertised
to include any part of the structure in
excess of the 26', and, therefore, it
was recommended the City Council

that the landscape plan be referred back

'ALLY February 23, 1987
In response to questions raised by
Council Member Sansone regarding
improvements to Avon Street, the Public
Works Director reported that Avon Street
will be improved with the conventional
asphaltic -type concrete (McAdam)
pavement. The structural section would
be designed to engineering standards for
the loads anticipated, which include
large trucks. With regard to the bluff
side of Avon Street, he stated that one
of the conditions of approval requires a
utility easement, including provision
for a 36" diameter storm drain. The
City has started the first phase of the
storm drain emptying into the Bay, and
crossing Pacific Coast Highway, which
can connect to the drain proposed to be
constructed in connection with this
project. This should correct the
long- standing problem of drainage on
Avon Street.
It was also pointed out that pursuant to
Condition of Approval No. 24, the
parking structure can only be used by
Newport Imports.
Gale Demmer, 2812 Cliff Drive, addressed
the Council and stated she was concerned
with all development in Newport Heights.
She stated she was also concerned with
the enforcement of the conditions of
approval imposed with this project, the
noise that could be generated from the
rooftop parking, and maintenance of the
landscaping on the roof. She urged the
Council to consider this development
carefully.
Allan Beek, 1945 Sherington Place,
addressed the Council and stated that,
in his opinion, the proposed structure
is a much larger building than is
appropriate or anticipated by the
General Plan and the Specific Area Plan.
He stated that the building is made to
look much smaller than it really is
because the store room floor area is not
counted in computing floor area ratio,
and the parking provided is made to look
much larger than it is because the room
for storing stock and trade is counted
as part of the parking. He stated he
felt the staff should be directed to
recompute the building with the stock
and trade (the automobiles) being
counted as part of the floor area of the
building.

ROLL CALL �' February 23, 1987 INDEX
Marian Rayl, President of the Newport U/P 3229
Heights Community Association, addressed Resub 840
the Council and stated that they are not
opposed to the proposed development, but
. are against the rooftop parking. They
understand there will be 96 service
vehicles and asked what types of
vehicles these would be and when they
would be moved on and off the rooftop.
If the rooftop parking is approved, they
would like to request the Council place
a limit on the hours the service
vehicles can be moved. They would also
like assurance that some type of nonskid
surface will be required on the rooftop
to prevent the "squealing" of automobile
tires, brakes, etc.
The Planning Director, in-response to
some of the foregoing comments, stated
that with respect to a nonskid surface,
this has already been made a condition
of approval. With regard to the hours,
the Planning Commission limited the
egress and ingress to the parking deck
from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the
following clay to conform with the hours
of operation of the agency. Pertaining
to service vehicles, he stated that
• these are the automobiles sold by the
agency to be serviced. With respect to
the computation of the building, he
stated that this question was raised at
the Planning Commission hearing and was
responded to as enumerated in the
minutes of that meeting.
Mr. Harris addressed the Council again
and stated that their hours of operation
to service the facility will be from
7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the only
people leaving after that time up to
9:00 p.m. would be sales staff.
Mayor Pro Tem Hart said that when she
attended the homeowners association
meeting regarding this issue, she
understood that either Mr. Harris or
another representative of this project,
stated that the City was requesting more
parking than what was actually needed,
and questioned Mr. Harris if this was
true.
Mr. Harris replied that he thought there
• was some conversation "early on"
regarding the use of their rooftop
parking for restaurant parking in the
area, but he does not think it is the
intent of the owner at this time. He

stated that they are aware of the
condition of approval which requires
that the parking structure can only be
used by Newport Imports.
Dick Demmer, 2812 Cliff Drive, addressed
the Council and stated that if the
rooftop parking is approved, he felt it
would set a "bad" precedent for future
developments. He also felt that if the
landscape treatment (trellis) has to
come under a separate use permit and go
before the Planning Commission, the
Council should defer action and consider
the entire package at the same time.
Hearing no others wishing to address the
Council, the public bearing was closed.
Discussion ensued wherein Council Member
Turner directed a question to Mr.
Harris, and therefore, the hearing was
reopened.
In response to question raised regarding
the feasibility of underground parking,
Mr. Harris replied that the subject was
investigated; however, when they
received their soils report it caused
them to look to another direction
because of cost and dewatering problems.
He stated that the cost of a 100
automobile parking structure below
grade, under a portion of the sales area
and the main parking structure, exceeded
the cost of raising the level up to the
high roof and putting rooftop parking
over the entire service area.
Following further consideration, motion
was made to continue this hearing to
March 23, 1.987, and to request the
applicant to investigate the feasibility
of underground parking at one level
below surface; and further, to continue
Resubdivision No. 840 to said time as
consented to by the applicant.

time to attempt to implement the more
costly alternative (A -1), which they
feel is better for the area. He stated
that no actual funds have been
appropriated for the project at this
time.
William Blurock, 2300 Newport Boulevard,
addressed the Council and referred to a
letter from the McFadden Square
Community Association, dated this date,
regarding the three issues under
consideration. He stated that their
current concerns are specifically
related to Cannery Village /McFadden
Square Implementation Contract with
Boyle Engineering Company. He commented
that their group has met almost every
other week with the consultant and City
staff in the development process. They
have been asked to review with the
consultants these variations and have
unanimously agreed to their directional
solution.

Mr. Blurock stated that they are
supportive of a complete realignment of
the Balboa /Newport intersection, and
that the Mix Master has always been felt
•
by their group to be the key to the
improvement and aesthetic visual value
of the area. They have been told the
cost is in excess of $900,000, which is
more than alternative schemes. They
realize the major realignment will cost
more, but by the time utilities are
placed underground, and curbs, sidewalks
and streets are patched, the cost will
be more than anticipated with very
little to show for funds spent. They
feel some individual concern for the
area and feel a few more hours of study
with the consultant could eliminate
their concerns and perhaps cut the cost
and improve parking.
Mr. Blurock stated that there are
various methods of financing the Mix
Master, such as an assessment district,
bonds, parking meter revenues, etc.,
which they feel should be explored and
brought back to the City Council, and
they are interested in helping the City
in this regard.
•
John Wieneke of Boyle Engineering
Corporation, Consulting Engineer,
addressed the Council and suggested they
proceed with the context of the
assessment district process. If the
property owners desire the "more
expensive" alternative, through the
process and hearing they can determine
exactly what each property owner is
willing to pay, including what the City
will pay as a participant. Through this
process, he feels they can identify what
level of improvements and how much money
both the community and the City are
willing to spend on the project. If
this is done within the assessment
district process they can stay on their
current schedule.
Council Member Plummer referenced
proposed funding for the Nepwort
Boulevard /Balboa Boulevard realignment,
and questioned if the property owners in
the Cannery Village /McFadden Square area
will be assessed 9% from the formation
of an assessment district, or just the
•
property owners from the McFadden Square
area?

The City Manager indicated that the
language set forth in the staff report
should not be considered binding in the
consultant's preparation of a financial
plan for the Mix Master. He stated he
felt it was an error on the part of the
staff to be so specific as to funding at
this time, and ties the hands of the
consultant, which he felt should be free
to explore with the property owners, the
best method to fund the Mix Master.
Following discussion, motion was made to
conceptually approve Alternative A -1,
provided it can be funded by both the
property owners and the City, but if it
cannot be funded, then Alternative A -3
is the City Council's selection; and
further, that the consultant report back
on March 23, 1987, if possible, as to a
proposed financial plan, including
detailed analysis, cost estimates, how
much the property owners are willing to
pay, etc.
In response to Council Member Plummer
regarding the formation of an assessment
district, Mr. Wieneke stated it would be
their suggestion that only one
assessment district be established for
the three projects under consideration,
i.e., Cannery Village, McFadden Square,
and the Mix Master in order to make the
process more simplified. He stated that
even though there would only be one
assessment district, the cost would be
broken down for each project.
Dr. Carl Acherman, property owner in the
McFadden Square area, addressed the
Council and stated that their
association is primarily concerned with
the McFadden Square area, and he feels
it might be somewhat difficult to sit
down in unison and determine what will
be done in Cannery Village. He stated
that he would urge the Council to do
whatever they can to "foster" their
group's best interest. He stated that
if they fund the Mix Master, the
beneficiaries are not just the property
owners in the McFadden Square area. He
stated that their desire to participate
in the funding is also a desire to "get
this thing moving."

Charlene Fannon, 1912 W. Ocean Front,
addressed the Council and asked
questions regarding the formation and
effect of an assessment district.
Following comments, the motion on the
floor was voted on and carried.
Discussion ensued with respect to
Alternative B (1,2 and 3) regarding
McFadden Square Restroom Location , as
set forth in the foregoing.
The City Manager described the three
locations proposed for the restroom
facility as shown in drawings on
display. He stated that the McFadden
Square Community Association is in favor
of Alternative B -2, east of the pier,
and incorporated into the proposed
expansion of Marine Safety Headquarters.
However, the Marine Department, as
enumerated in their report, is opposed
to Alternative B -2, and favor the
location west of Newport Pier between
the pier and the Dory Fleet.
William B. Martin, 1824 W. Ocean Front,
Secretary, Central Newport Beach
Association, addressed the Council and
distributed a letter from their
association, opposing construction of
more public restrooms between the two
piers on the ocean front beaches and
encouraging the City to improve the
maintenance of the present facilities.
He stated their association also voted
to request the City to renovate, or
rebuild the restroom at the current site
and not to build a new facility on the
southeast side of Newport Pier.
Al Irwin, 1802 W. Ocean Front, seasonal
lifeguard, addressed the Council in
support of constructing the new restroom
facility at: its present location.
Ken Jacobsen of the Marine Department,
addressed the Council and stated that if
the new restroom was incorporated into
their Marine Headquarters expansion, it
would only hamper their operation. He
stated that they have enough problems
with the current restroom and the "bad"
element that use that facility. He

stated that the Police Department is
also supportive of not placing the
restroom adjacent to the Marine
Department headquarters.
Don Burns, 339 Catalina Drive, seasonal
lifeguard, addressed the Council and
spoke in favor of locating the restroom
west of Newport Pier, between the pier
and the Dory Fleet. He stated he works
with the cadet lifeguards at the Marine
Department Headquarters and if the
restroom were adjacent to their
building, he feels it would be a hazard
to their lifeguard program. He also
feels there would be a risk involved due
to exposure of their valuable equipment
to the general public.
John Blamer, Executive Representative of
the Newport Beach Ocean Lifeguard
Association, addressed the Council and
stated that their association is
"adamantly" opposed to Alternatives B -2
and 3, and feel that Alternative B -1 is
the best location if another site
further west cannot be found.
Renee Boyer, Coordinator for the Junior
Lifeguard Program, addressed the Council
and stated that in this year's program
she anticipates having 600 to 800
youths, and feels that a restroom
located adjacent to the lifeguard
headquarters, or east of the pier, would
jeopardize the safety of the junior
lifeguards due to the number of
desirable and undesirable people using
the restroom.
Dr. Carl Acherman addressed the Council
again, and spoke in favor of
incorporating the restroom into the
expansion of the lifeguard headquarters,
indicating he felt there are merits to
this alternative. He stated it is
understandable why no one wants a
restroom facility near their residence
or business, due to the undesirable
element, dirt, odor, vandalism, etc.;
however, he does not feel the present
location is attractive in its current
setting and that the Dory Fisherman area
should be opened up. He felt by
integrating the two projects, it would
improve the pier image.
Following discussion, motion was made to
approve Alternative B -1, west of Newport
Pier, between the pier and the Dory
Fleet; (the: approximate location of the

architects for the lifeguard
headquarters expansion and the restroom
facility be directed to coordinate the
architectural style in keeping with the
character of the McFadden Square area.
Discussion ensued with regard to the
possibility of placing the restroom
closer to the ocean, wherein the Public
Works Director pointed out that the
structure should not be located too
close to the beach berm because of
potential beach erosion problems and the
need to use pile foundations; and should
not be so low in elevation as to
require the use of pumps for drainage
and for sewage conveyance.
William Blurock addressed the Council
again, and stated that their association
has been meeting with the consultant in
this development process for the last
three months, and have come up with a
recommendation as requested by the City.
He felt the Council should schedule a
study session on this subject, rather
than take ,action at this time. He
stated he did not think they have had a
"fair pitch" at this issue.
The motion on the floor was voted on and
carried.
With respect to the Draft Parking
Management Plan, motion was made to
refer this document to the Off- Street
Parking Cotmnittee for review and
