On December 17, 1962, the City Council approved the request of
Triangle Subdivisions to construct their building in a manner that
it would encroach over the City's easement for sidewalk and utility
purposes over Lot 1 of Tract No. 1080. The approval was given
subject to the following: A minimum height being maintained; an
open space northerly and northeasterly of the easement being main-
tained; reconstruction of the sidewalk and the reconstruction of
the street light conduit; the building being constructed in a
manner that there would be no opening directly above the easement
and no encroachment over the easement by the appurtenances of the
building; and that the project be started within a stated period
of time.
Two documents have been prepared in order to carry out the approval
and the conditions. First, we have an Indenture.which would be
executed by the vestee and the City. It would consent to the en-
croachment over the easement at a minimum elevation of 18.52 feet
above the City datum plane. It would also require the vestee to
maintain the open space except for eight columns, none of which
exceed 24 inches in the maximum horizontal dimension. It is con-
templated that the Indenture will be recorded.
The second document is an Agreement between the vestee of the prop-
erty and Sidney Kibrick, doing business as Triangle Subdivisions,
jointly referred to as "Property Owners", and the City. The
Agreement refers to the Indenture and has it attached as an ex-
hibit. It also refers to the plans submitted by Triangle Subdi-
visions and has them attached as an exhibit. The operative
provisions of the Agreement require the sidewalk to be rebuilt
and the street light conduit to be reconstructed, with the outlets
in accordance with plans approved by the Public Works Director.
It also requires the building to be constructed so there is no
opening over the easement and no appurtenance of the building en-
croaching upon the easement. The Agreement provides also that
the project should be commenced within a period of 18 months and
completed within a period of 24 months thereafter. It provides that
To; The Honorable Mayor and City Council -2- January 11, 1963
if this is not done the Agreement is ineffective and the parties
shall rescind the Indenture. The Agreement also provides that
the Indenture will not be recorded without the approval of Mr.
Kibrick, but that it shall be recorded prior to the time a build-
ing permit is issued by the City. The purpose of this provision
is to make it possible for Triangle Subdivisions to get final
approval on the plans for financing purposes prior to the time
the Indenture is recorded, but to require the recording prior to
the issuance of the building permit.
Currently, the vestee on the property is Sterling Savings and Loan
Association and it is intended that the Indenture and Agreement
will be executed by Sterling. It is also intended that the In-
denture will be recorded prior to the time title is transferred
to any other vesteeo It is possible that the property will be
transferred to Great Western Savings & Loan Association and, in
contemplation of that transfer, we have requested a letter from
Great Western acknowledging the existence of the Indenture and the
Agreements
Two resolutions have been prepared to authorize the execution of
the Indenture and the Agreement by the City. The resolution
authorizing the Indenture also authorizes its recording. If this
arrangement meets with the approval of the City Council, it is
suggested that the resolutions be adopted.

In the ?ec'emt r;l3 edition of t. SMA1siit was disclosed that ..Triangle Sub-
di.v� s one- '�ar�` equested permission ld an apartment Wilding on the old
Gh'°irti a?'' il `'tit property, which bualAng would overhang the public, walkway to
the water's .edge. The reported "cautious Am" of the of .the request: 'aken
by the Council at the -time was refreshing, but only for too short an Aterval
of time. Two weeks later it wac disclosed -further that the Council. was favor-
ably considering the granting of the final approval of this request on" JanL-
ar7 vonder hou many onions were obtained from users of the public walk ay
in front of the --property between those too neetings of the Council..
Gen^ralizing' for a r-orgnnt, NeVrnort can. grmi in one of tyro distinct directions
in the Store: It can be carefully deve? oped as a pleasant" yacht harbor, open
to the sky and surrounded by homes and the p c turesgne small industry of, the
_ Area. Or it can , by following a llite of least resistance, evolve into a small
waterway enclosed on Al sidis by a looming wall of concrete :and glass. AS
mited.ly this comparison is biased, but it is submitted as the viewpoint of one
of the us ors., of th;Lt wallc:wa.y.
Not on1YT does the building rroposer? in the `dangle .Subdivisions request offend
as a harbinger of the concrete --and glass wall: concept, but it further offends
by Jetting a 7recident to cut off the sty as 7a 1 as the norizions. Only by
: adopting a very restrictive content, of the language can Triangle SubdiAsi_ons
say they will not be re str ct .ng the v nu of the Public from that walkway.
People vho come to the beach, either for the day or to live permanently there,
come not only to enjoy the bay but also to enjoy the sun, sky, and breeze which
until nos: have: Burro znded it.
I hone, as. I :gym .sure others do also, that the Council will consider carefu'lllr
the wishes .of the residents of Neu-ort Beach before acting on this matter.

It is suggested that both the Indenture and the Agreement be

on the Indenture should all be acknowledged and you recall that
Mr. and Mrs. Kibrick acknowledged to you at the City Council melt-_...
ing that they did execute the Indenture. You have in your file a

sheets. This should be marked Exhibit "A" and attached to the
Agreement in order that it will be complete. The copies of the
Indenture attached thereto as Exhibit B" should be made to

Attention: Mr. Leonard Kihricia�:
Dear Mr. Ki.brick:
This is a follow -upon our conversation in your
Caribe Balboa renting office on August 27. You will recall
that I visited you in response to several complaints ve
have received from residents of the area concerning the following:
1. Rental of boat slips to non -tenants. You informed
we that you would "consider" renting boat slips to
non -tenants on a month -to -month basis, pending
completion and rental of the apartments.
Since your property is toned R-4, slip rentals to
non -tenants are prohibited unless you first obtain
a variance. Farther, since you presumably mould
wish to rent three or more slips., a business license
approved by the City Council would also be necessary.
Until these conditions are satisfied, any slip rental
to a person who is not a tenant of Caribe Balboa will
be in violation of the. Municipal Code.
We fully appreciate your desire to realize maximum
revenue from your slips and will be glad to advise
you of the procedure to follow in applying for a
variance and business license. The granting of a
variance and business license, of course, mould
be a policy matter to be determined by the Planning
Commission and City Council.
2. Construction debris on public beach at Fernando
Street end. Your informed ere that if the dinghies
at the street and are temporarily relocated you will
promptly remove the cement, stones, and other debris
deposited by your workmen and replace the clean sand
that was there previously.
The Orange County Harbor Department will temporarily
remove the dinghies if you will contact them a day in
:advance. You should phone Howard Dengbausen, Assistant
Harbor Master, at 673-"40.

3. "No Parking" signs. The residents in the area
expressed an understaadiog of your need for an
un-blocked temporary truck entrance to your build-
ing site. They object, however, to the statement on
the sign that the "no parking" includes Saturdays
and Sundays, since construction does not occur on
those days.
This seems to be a reasonable complaint and is
obviously a source of irritation among your
neighbors, particularly in view of the acute
parking shortage that exists in the area. We
suggest, therefore, that you have your workman
remove the referents to Saturdays and Sundays.
4. Construction debris on Fernando Street end. During
our discussion in your office you agreed to keep
the street and free of dirt and other debris that
falls from trucks as they enter and leave the construc-
tion site. A simple solution would be to have one
of your workmen at the end of each Work day sweep
the dirt to the side of the street and then remove
it.
A certain amouat of debris on public streets during
the course of a major construction project is unavoid-
able. Nevertheless, under the Municipal Code the
developer is responsible for keeping public streets
free of debris deposited by him and we request that
you do so.
The purpose of this letter is to alert you to conditions
that should be corrected. if you have any questions, please
lot us know.
Sincerely,
Te-1,
