BY THE CITY COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACATEM NO. F-16
TO: CITY COUNCIL APR 111988
APPROVED
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: REQUEST OF HARRY WESTOVER OF 2301 PACIFIC DRIVE TO CONSTRUCT PLANTERS,
PATIOS, RETAINING WALLS AND STAIRS WITHIN THE PACIFIC DRIVE PARKWAY
ADJACENT TO 2301 PACIFIC DRIVE. (PARCEL 1 OF PARCEL MAP 83-713)
RECOMMENDATION:
If desired:
1. Approve issuance of an encroachment permit for construction of
non-standard improvements.
2. Approve the encroachment agreement; authorize the Mayor and the
City Clerk to execute the agreement; and direct the City Clerk to
have the agreement recorded with the Orange County Recorder.
DISCUSSION:
Harry Westover, the owner of 2301 Pacific Drive, is proposing to
construct planters, low retaining walls, patios and stairs within the Pacific
Drive Parkway.
Pacific Drive is a narrow street with a parkway width of approximately
27'. Curb and sidewalk presently exist adjacent to the subject property with
approximately 19' between the back of sidewalk to the property line.
The property owner would like to construct a patio and planters in
this area, however, small retaining wall planters and stairs are required as the
property is located on a slope which slopes away from Pacific Drive.
Prior approval of City Council is required for private structural
improvements such as retaining walls, raised planters, etc., in public easements
or rights-of-way. The encroachment agreement will allow construction of the
retaining walls and stairs within the public right-of-way as approved by the
Public Works Department.
The property owner will be responsible for maintenance of the improve-
ments and hold the City harmless of all liability for the non-standard
improvements.
An exhibit is attached for reference.
