Respectfully submitted CITY PLANNING COMATISSION of the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH By L. W. Briggs Chakrman. BY Harry H. Williamson Secretary TO The U. S. District Engineer, 723 Central Building, Los Angeles, Calif. Sir: 1. Pursuant to the provisbans of Section' 10 of Act of Congress dated Mareh 3, 1899, permission as hereby requested by the Title Insurance and Trust Coispany of the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, California, to reclaim an area of about 9.0 acres of land in Newport Bay, County of Orange, C lifornia, lying;' • northwest of the island bounded By U. S. Bulkhead Lines 170 to 175 to 170 inclusive, and southerly from the turning basin completed in 1922 by the Orange County Harbor Commission. The area to be filled is in the City of Newport Beach and is marked "Area. A* on the accompanying map; material t e I (14) for making the fill will be dredged from the area immediately north of "Area A" (marked "Area B" on the accompanying map), and also from a channel to be exc vated across Area "A" as des - cribed in paragraph 3 below. Permission for this work is requested in order that adequate connection may be obtaindd between the above mentioned island and the mainland west of Area "A ". The mainland has been filled to an elevation of about ten (lo) feet and the island to hbout thirteen and one -half feet (13.5) feet, both elevations above and relating to mean lower low water. 2. It is intended to fill Area "A" to an average elevation of about twelve (12) feet above mean lower low water, or so as to meet thelevels of the above mentioned mainland and island. Material will be' confined within approved levees or bulkheads constructed on boundaries described as follows: Beginning at a point in the bulkhead line • between U. S. Ptations 124 and 125, which bears :crt South South 27 301 East, 77 .83 feet from U. S. Station 125; thence South 6r 01 East, 885.58 feet ; thence Narth 62° 301 East, 261.17 feet to a point in the bulkhead line between U. S. Stations 174 and 175; thence southerly along the last mentioned bulkhead line on a curve concave to the East, having a radius of 150 feet, a distance of 235.62 feet to U. S. Station 174; thence along the bulkhead line between U. S. Stations 173 and 174, South 27b301 East, 652.09 feet; thence North 61 "0' West,_ 871.23 feet to a point in the easterly extension of the northerly line of Washington Avenue of the City of Newport Beach; thence South 89 151 30" West, 133.37 feet along said extension to a point in the bulkhead line between U. S. Stations 124 and 125; thence along the last mentioned bulkhead line, North 27 301 West, 754.01 feet to t the point of beginning. 3. Material for filling Area "A" will be partly taken from Area "B" by excavating to a depth of ten(10) to twelve (12) feet below mean lower low water, said Area "B" being bounded as follows; on r the south by Area "A "; on the West by the e .z, e 0 (15) Pierhead line which is 50 feet from the bulkhead line between U. S. Stations 124 and 125; on the North by the 150 foot channel running northwesterly from U. S. Station 175, on the East and southeast by the pierhead line '5 50 feet from the bulkhead line between U. S. Stations 174 and 175. The balance of the material will be obtained by dredging a channel across Area "A" with a bottom wi width of not less than fifty (50) feet at elevation of ten (10) below mean lower low water, the location of said channel to meet with the approval of the United 'States District Engineer. 4. Area "A"', to be filled, is only navigable for the smallest boats at high tides and is probably never even soused. The channel across Area "A" mentioned in Paragraph 3 is to provide a larger and improved waterway for the navigation of small boats z,_ and to increase the tidal prism within Newport Bay which latter provision will assist in maintaining the entrance channel soon to be dredged by the City of Newport Beach. Dredging of Area "B" will likewise aid in the entrance maintenance. A 'bridge of thirty -foot width and fifty -foot span across this channel, to provide not less than fifteen X15) foot clearance above mean high tide, is i included in the plan of development. 5. All property to be filled, with the ex- ception of a small parcel in the southwest portion, fo which the ownerls release and consent accompanies this application, is owned by the applicant, which also ' owns and has filled the island east of Area "A" and the mainland west and northwest of Area'"A" under permits issued by your office under dades July 25th and August 8th, 1923, and January 31, 1924. No existing channel now used for navigation will be closed before substitute channels are provided. It is expected that work shall commence within six months after permission is granted.
