money on General Plan. Amendment No. 80 -3.
The following persons addressed the Council:
•
Wilbur Layman,-Attorney, representing Newport
Center Medical Building, referred to his
letter of July 21, 1981, wherein the position
of Newport Center Medical Building was enumer-
ated. The Newport Center Medical Building
wants to establish and protect rights to con-
struct its 80,000 square foot medical build-
ing. The understanding of Newport Center
Medical Building is, that if approval of the
medical building in General Plan Amendment No.
81 -2 is not obtained, then Policy No. 10 means
that they may seek a transfer of density from
The Irvine Company lands to Block 400, subject
to Planning Commission approval, City Council
approval, and adequate environmental documen-
tation. If this is not the case, Newport
Center Building would like to be advised.
Frank Rhodes, General Partner, Newport Center
Medical Building, 1417 E. Bay, stated that
Newport Center Medical Building has not pre -
viously requested entitlements in Block 400
because, whenever they needed permits, there
never was a problem. Up until now, the
General Plan has allowed what they have built.
They acquired the subject vacant site in 1966
specifically for a second building, and the
•
layouts of the second building are all part of
the original lease. This is the first time
that land, as well as entitlements, have "run -
out."
Beverly Jones, 700 Heliotrope, Corona del Mar,
read a prepared statement concerning increased
traffic on Pacific Coast Highway through
Corona del Mar, and urged that the Council not
allow General Plan Amendment 80 -3 without
requiring the connection of Pelican Hills and
San Joaquin Hills Roads.
Todd Ridgeway, 1507 Santanella Terrace, repre-
senting Irvine Terrace Community Association,
read a prepared statement, indicating they
felt it was the responsibility of The Irvine
Company with guidance from the City Council,
to assure that noise pollution from increased
traffic, and air pollution will be controlled
prior to construction of any additional office
or commercial buildings.
Dee Dee Masters, 140'Fernleaf, Corona del Mar,
spoke in support of the proposed Pelican
Hills /San Joaquin Road connection. She stated
that the project is not proposed to be com-
pleted until 1986, and urged the Council to
.
not consider any further development until the
subject road improvements are made.

Ernest George, 2865 E. Pacific Coast Highway,
GPA 80 -3
spoke in support of requiring the realignment
of San Joaquin Hills Road to be made as a
condition of approval for General Plan Amend-
ment 80-3, thereby the cost being borne by
•
The Irvine Company.
A map was displayed, wherein the Director of
Public Works pointed out the proposed alignment
of Pellican Hills Road tieing into Bonita
Canyon Road, and thereafter, the connection
of San Joaquin Hills Road to Pellican Hills
Road.
Joe Winkelmann, 1318 Santanella Terrace,
President of Irvine Terrace Community Associa-
tion, spoke in opposition to any further
development of Newport Center until a sound
barrier has been constructed along Irvine
Terrace /Coast Highway frontage to protect the
community from increased traffic noise.
Gary Shamburg, 2900 Alta Vista Drive, Member
of East Bluff Homeowners Association, spoke
neither for, or against General Plan Amendment
80-3. However, he did ask that they get
assurance from the City that, should develop-
ment occur in Newport Center, the noise
barrier wall would still be constructed as
promised.
The Director of Public Works responded that
•
the current budget includes funding for the
updating of the Environmental Impact Report,
and preparation of the plans for the noise
barrier wall and widening project of Jamboree
Road.
John Morgan, 404 Vista Grande, Newport Beach,
read a prepared statement in favor of General
Plan Amendment 80 -3.
Wendell Fish, 1901 Chubasco Drive, resident
of Irvine Terrace Community Association,
submitted a petition with 15 signatures,
urging that the requirement of a noise barrier
between Jamboree Road and the easterly end of
Irvine Terrace be included in the specifica-
tions for the redevelopment of East Coast
Highway.
Richard Nichols, 519 Iris, Corona del Mar,
submitted an alternate plan to the proposed
Avocado /MacArthur cuplet for consideration.
Michael C. Gering, President of Newport Harbor
Area Chamber of Commerce, stated that the
broadening of the tax base through additional
revenues can only benefit the City, its resi-
dents and its businesses. The refusal to

allow the development of the proposed office
GPA 80 -3
buildings and hotel can only lead to addition -
al development within surrounding areas, with
those cities reaping the benefits of tax
revenues generated by that development.
Another important overriding consideration in
approving the applicant's proposal is the
extent to which the applicant has agreed to
privately fund in excess of eight million
dollars in badly needed road improvements
within the City. To disregard this considera-
tion, in his opinion, would be irresponsible.
He urged the Council to approve General Plan
Amendment 80-3 as presently proposed.

During course of discussion, Mr. Gering was
All Ayes
granted two additional minutes with which to
conclude his remarks.
Clarence Turner, President, Mariners Community
Association, stated that the Association has
two major concerns: 1) the Center itself, and.
2) the Center's impact on John Wayne Airport.
He read into the record a prepared statement
indicating there should be additional evening
activities encouraged at Newport Center, such
as theatres, restaurants, and recreational
facilities. Commercial "office" development
should be conditioned upon The Irvine Company'
opposition to the Master Plan adopted by the
County Board of Supervisors for the expansion
of John Wayne Airport. Only in this way can
•
the hotel be approved without undermining
the City's opposition.

Terri.e Watt, 1434 Jones Street, San Francisco,
Planning Consultant for SPON, stated that she
had been requested to review a cost revenue
matrix by the Director of Finance, prepared at
•
the request of Council Member Plummer. Copies
of the subject matrix were included in the
Council's agenda packet. She felt the matrix
was incomplete in that it shows the revenues
lost as components of the plan are removed;
however, it does not analyze the revenues that
could result if other revenues were put in its
place. She advised that she had met with the
Director of Finance and asked that two'addi-
tional columns be added to the matrix to which
she addressed.
Ms. Watt stated that until the Council fully
understood what generates revenue and what
does not, she felt it would be premature to
make a decision at this time. She urged, on
SPON's behalf, that the Council give this
matter close scrutiny prior to acting on
General Plan Amendment 80 -3.
Maurice DeWald, 7 Hermitage Lane, read a
prepared statement in support of General Plan
Amendment 80-3.

It was recommended by the City Attorney that the
Big Canyon/
City Council maintain the "hold harmless" clause,
Area 10
cause it to be recorded, together with a notice
of potential geologic risk or hazard, and amend
•
Condition No-56 as follows:
"The Applicant shall prepare and execute
an Agreement approved as to form and content
by the City Attorney, the effect of which is
to obligate Applicant, and its successors
and assigns, to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City of Newport Beach with
respect to any claim, loss, damage-or injury,
excluding inverse condemnation causes of
action, that may arise from, or in any way
be related to the movement of earth and soil
within the project area. Further, the
Applicant shall provide a method of recorded
notification to future owners of units
within the project area, that the site is
subject to geologic risk or hazard in a
manner to be approved by the City Attorney."
It was further recommended that Finding No. 6
be revised as follows:
"6. The City Council desires to pro-
tect the City from future financial obliga-
tion should there be a landslide on the site
and further to provide warning to future
owners of the property that there may be a
risk of landslide, earth movement or the
•
slippage (geologic hazard) associated with
the development of the tract through the
execution of a hold harmless agreement with
the subdivider, as well as a recorded Notice
(which shall run with the land) to notify
future owners of the property that there may
be geologic risk or hazard inherent in the
development of this site."
In response to Council inquiry, the Director of
Public Works advised that there are known soils
problems at Big Canyon, Area 10. There have
been two very substantial slides, perhaps more.
The soils engineer's report that was prepared
initially indicated the need for stability and
special treatment. The supplemental soils
report that the City had prepared indicated that
cut slopes and existing slopes were essentially
unstable, and would require special treatment.
The special treatment that has been recommended

consists of special techniques to drain the slopes,
to install horizontal drains, back drains, etc.
These techniques, in the opinion of the grading
engineer, can result, and will result in reducing
the degree of risk associated with the grading
of the development of the property to a "low- risk"
category. The term "low- risk" is a term used
within the soils engineering profession, and a
term used to denote an acceptable degree of risk
in hillside development..
The Director of Building stated that they will
require ten (10) conditions which should bring
project grading into conformance with "low- risk"
criterion as enumerated in his report to the City
Attorney dated July 8, 1981.
The Director of Planning stated that, once grading
has been accomplished and approved in accordance
with the Grading Plan, building permits will be
issued. In addition, staff will monitor the grad-
ing during the "rough" stage.
Susie Picker, 110 -9th Street, addressed the Coun-
cil in opposition to developing the subject
property because of its knowingly hazardous con -
dition.
•
Peter Dennison, Manager of Community Development,
The Irvine Company, addressed the Council and
stated that they, too are concerned that the
project is properly constructed, and are aware of
the subject problems. During the past year they
have been involved in extensive geological and
soil investigations on the site. The Irvine
Company is in agreement with the proposed 10
conditions relating to the issuance of the Grading
Plan. In addition, they accept the recommendation
of the City Attorney to require some notification
to future home owners of some potential geological
risk. However, they still feel very strongly that
the hold harmless requirement is unnecessary and
inappropriate.
Hearing no others wishing to address the Council,
the public hearing was closed.

Ballard /Jones
WILLIAM CLARKE TO ENCROACH up to 6 feet into

public right -of -way with a 6 -foot high slumpstone
Encroachm
wall at 5520 River Avenue, was presented with a
(65)
•
report from the Public Works Department dated
July 22, 1981.
It was noted in the report from Public Works that
denial of the encroaching portion of the fence at
5520 River Avenue was recommended, as it was felt
there was no justification for an exception to the
provisions of Council Policy L -6. It was also
pointed out that staff had advised the Applicants
that the proper procedure for consideration of the
requested 6 -foot high fences in the front yard
setback area at 5512 and 5516 River Avenue, was to
submit an application to the Modifications Com-
mittee.
A letter from West Newport Beach Association in
support of subject encroachment permit, was pre-
sented.
David Ballard, 5520 River Avenue, addressed the
Council in support of his request. He stated that
he felt the encroachment permit should be granted
for the reasons as set forth in his letter, copy of
which was included in the Council's packets. He
stated that he was not attempting to gain any
additional property, only to replace a wooden
fence, that has been in the location since 1956. He
would like to construct a concrete sidewalk and
•
planter arrangement in front of the wall to give
easier access to pedestrians and people parking,
who use the public tennis courts and beach.
The Director of Public Works pointed out that the
construction of a 6 -foot masonry wall in the
public right -of -way, as proposed, converts that
portion of the public right -of -way to private use,
and therefore, contrary to adopted Council policy.
Motion

Following discussion, an encroachment of the wall

to enclose the Pine tree; and requiring the con-
struction of the sidewalk as a condition of said

tion until further notice.
