Specifically, you requested the mooring be removed since you did not know who put it in, nor did you know who maintained it. On November 10, 1998, the City Marine Division complied with your request and had the mooring removed. Today, I discovered that the mooring was approved at that location by the City in 1976 and it is listed as a pier permit, hence, I didn't find it on the mooring list when you originally called. Therefore, the permittee, will be allowed to maintain a mooring in that location. The large platform the permittee had there will not be allowed back since it violates the City mooring regulations. If it does reappear, please call me at 644 -3043, and I will arrange to have it removed. I am sorry for this confusion, but it was an unusual situation.

The City is constructing steps down to the beach in the proximity of your illegally constructed pier and the pier must be removed prior to that construction beginning. The construction is proposed to begin on December 15, 1999. We are requesting that your illegal dock be removed prior to that _date. If it is net removed, it will be removed by City forces as provided by Section 17.24.100 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code.

YrTtl� a y wzffS/) /`Ir% December 11, 2001 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 26 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: GRAND CANAL SHORE MOORING RELOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Direct Staff to remove the Grand Canal access ladder. 2. Authorize the Harbor Resources Manager to offer the relocation of existing Grand Canal shore moorings to a more accessible location. DISCUSSION: At the November 13, 2001, City Council meeting, Jim Hildreth (102 Grand Canal) questioned the appropriateness of the ladder on the Grand Canal bulkhead, which could be used to access the adjacent shore mooring. Mayor Adams requested Staff investigate this situation and report back to City Council. The original permit for the use of the shore mooring in question was issued on May 28, 1976, to Jack E. Hildreth. An illegal pier was constructed around February 1999. The City ordered the removal of the illegal pier shortly after its construction. The pier was removed by the City in December of 1999. In an effort to improve the access to this mooring, the City installed the access ladder at the bulkhead shortly after the removal of the illegal pier. City Staff, including the Public Works Director and the Building Director, have reviewed the ladder in question and have determined that it does not meet current public works standards and building codes for public access. A public access at this location would require ADA provisions, which would be costly and physically impractical to build. A private access would not be permitted under the current municipal code. The differential height between the bulkhead and the sand in the vicinity of the shore mooring, currently permitted to Mr. Hildreth, is approximately four feet. Typically, shore moorings of this type on Balboa Island are accessible by stepping over the bulkhead to the wet sand beach, which is usually a two to three foot difference in grade. Since this shore mooring is near the end of the canal, it is difficult to keep sand at this location. These particular shore moorings located at the ends of the Grand Canal have been problematic due to this sand retention and access issue.
