SUBJECT: ORDER OF CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ALONG
GRANT STREET AND HIGHLAND STREET FRONTAGES
- 7000 AND 7012 WEST COAST HIGHWAY
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Direct staff to utilize the procedures set forth in The Improvement Act of 1911,
Chapter 27, Construction of Sidewalks and Curbs, of the California Streets and
Highways Code, Construction of Sidewalks and Curbs, to cause the construction
of public frontage improvements to be made by Owners.
2. Order the installation of frontage improvements on Grant and Highland Streets,

3. Set October 12, 2004 as the date of the Public Hearing.
4. Direct the Superintendent of Streets to Notice the Owners of the Public Hearing
and the order of construction.
BACKGROUND:
The Owners of Newport Sands Mobile Home Park have replaced some of the units with
new manufactured homes within the northwesterly half of the parcels. The Owners are
currently finalizing plans to replace the remaining units within the rest of the parcels in
the near future.
Since February of 2004, the Public Works Department has been in communications with
the Owners through their property management company, on their obligation to improve
the existing adjacent street frontages on Grant and Highland Streets with concrete
curbs, gutters, and walks. At the beginning of the discussions, the Owners appeared
cooperative and willing to construct the public improvements. The Owners requested,

and staff provided, assistance in defining the required scope of work, the engineering
design parameters, and other pertinent information in hopes that the work will proceed
and be completed expeditiously.
Since then, the Owners have responded to staff with various reasons such as costs,
uncertainties with Underground Assessment District No. 68, lack of approved
construction plans for contractors to place bids, the need to hire professional engineers
to prepare the construction plans, and the unfinished final site layout as justifications for
their non - responsiveness and stalled progress. It appears to staff the Owners have little
or no intention to make the required public improvements.

The City Council of the City of Newport Beach is empowered by The Improvement Act
of 1911 to hold a public hearing and to order the Owners to construct the required public
improvements under Chapter 27 of the California Streets and Highways Code. At the
close of the public hearing, the City Council, at its discretion, may direct the property
owners to commence construction of frontage improvements within sixty (60) days. If no
construction has begun at the conclusion of the sixty day time frame, City Council may
authorize its Superintendent of Streets (Public Works Director) to complete the
improvements under public contract. Upon completion, a Final Report will be filed by the
Public Works Department and the Owners will have five (5) days to make full payment to
the City. Staff has estimated the project to cost $3,000.00 for engineering design and
$17,000.00 for construction work with prevailing wage rates, for a total of $20,000.00.
In case of nonpayment by Owners, the City could place a lien on the Property.
