Deletions
The majority of the deletions are represented by removing the word "safety"
from the department official name. The Marine Safety Department was officially
renamed to Marine Department, by Council, in July of 1974.
Section 11. Dredging (pg. 6) paragraph A. 2 is recommended to be deleted from
the Council Harbor Permit Policies because all normal maintenance dredging pro-
jects now require, a permit from the City of Newport Beach.
Additions
Section 29. Patio Decks (pg. 15) paragraph D. 2, The number 42" replaces 36"
for railing heights so as to be consistent with"OSSA" requirements.
r
The last section of the policies, page 16, Section 32. Grand Canal was relettered
and numbered to clarify this section. Paragraph 5 C is an addi tion and represents
the existing practice of not issuing new permits for the end lots of the Canal
Which front both the Canal and North or South Bay Front respectively, unless
approved by Council.
