Pacific Coast Highway Newport Beach, CA 92660 3 Thirty 3 Waterfront 333 Bayside Drive Newport Beach, CA 92660 Dear Neighbors The Balboa Marina public dock effort appears to not be making many friends. I've heard from folks like yourselves who are concerned about the access and its visibility (lack thereof, actually) of the public slips. Yet I also am getting more and more calls from Linda Isle residents about noise and unruly behavior from boaters and pierside revelers using the public docks late at night. As we work towards a resolution, please caution your customers to be quiet as they use the docks, whether they be boaters or just walking along the docks. Noise carries very well across the water, and residents are attempting to sleep less than 75' away from the Balboa Marina. You might recall that "Windows on the Bay" had extensive problems with neighborhood complaints from Lido Isle in its day (more than 12 years ago). The resulting uproar impacted Windows' business significantly and may have led to its demise. I respectfully urge you to help us solve the noise problem, even as we attempt to encourage reasonable and quiet public dock access at the Balboa Marina. Please consider posting appropriate signage and directing your wait staff and security staff to keep customers' noise down. Thank you in advance for helping make the public slip spaces at the Balboa Marina a quiet amenity welcomed by all.
