Very truly yours, COURTON & ASSOCIATES Lawrence H. Buxton President CC: Bob Fisher Bill Evans EXHIBIT A Environmental Research - Engineering • Planning . Governmental Relations • • DRAFT OF PROPOSED LETTER TO COASTAL COMMISSION To: Chairman of the California Coastal Commission Re: Application for Coastal Development Permit Submitted by Newport Dunes, Inc. The City of Newport Beach recommends approval of a Coastal Development Permit authorizing the "redevelopment" of Newport Dunes. This project, which is supported by the City of Newport Beach, is described in detail in a Settlement Agreement negotiated by the City of Newport Beach, the County of Orange and Newport Dunes, Inc. This document, and the development contemplated by it, is relatively complex, so we have taken the liberty of enclosing a copy of the agreement. The development authorized, and the conditions imposed thereon to mitigate the impacts of that development on the City of Newport Beach, represent a delicate balance. Any significant changes to the project could upset that balance and frustrate the unique cooperative efforts which culminated in the approval of the agreement. The provisions of the Coastal Act of 1976 were fully considered by all parties during the negotiations which led to the settlement agreement and we hope you share our feeling that the project outlined in the agreement is consistent with the spirit and interest of the Coastal Act. A representative of the City of Newport Beach will be present to advise members of the Commission of the reasons why approval of the project, as outlined in the agreement, is important to the City of Newport Beach. Sincerely, Evelyn Hart Mayor 3 g%811 8
