5) CURRENT / NEW BUSINESS – Staff Report
A. Lower Castaways – A Conceptual Review
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the PB&R Commission review the Lower
Castaways conceptual plan and provide feedback to the Lower Castaway Ad Hoc Committee
for further refinement.
Director Detweiler introduced Harbor Commissioner David Girling who provided a
PowerPoint Presentation. He stated the goal of the presentation was to gain feedback
from the Commission to take back to the Ad Hoc Committee to ultimately forward to
Council. He reported on the discovery process of the plan including background, studies
completed, timeline, location and size, challenges moving forward and history, including
historical photos. He noted expiration dates of additional lease agreements and other on-
site uses. Four (4) components to the plan were addressed with a brief summery to each
including the General Plan, the Coastal Land Use Plan, the Deed Restrictions and Zoning
of the proposed site. The definition of ‘Take” was provided as “Damage to habitat
organisms that are killed” and in regards to those items, Commissioner Girling went on
to say that approval process for development in a Marine Protected Area (MPA) such as
this must go through the Department of Fish and Wildlife and Coastal Commission.
Study session ideas were provided and additional studies needed were mentioned.
In response to Commissioner Howald’s inquiry regarding specific problematic areas that
may be of concern with the current plan, Commissioner Girling stated that the area of
concern which could possibly be problematic is the bulkhead in which Department of
Fish and Wildlife (DFW) may not give permission to build any new structures. This will
limit the vision of making the area available to watercraft, however, if not approved for a
new structure, they can still improve the bulkhead but the ability to launch boats would
not happen.
Commissioner Howald inquired regarding the next step of the plan.
Commissioner Girling responded that DFW and the Coastal Commission have provided
favorable feedback and will know more after an April 16, 2014 meeting. He added that
the plan could potentially take years and it was for this reason that the project will move
forward in stages.
Commissioner Marston asked if the green area could be used for concerts in the future,
whether parking would have metered parking, and asked about beach access.
Director Detweiler stated that the green lawn area will be flat for concerts and classes to
be held there. Staff will be working with Community Development to fine tune parking
requirements.
Commissioner Englebrecht stated that this plan must be for the best public use for the
four (4) acres because it is the last remaining area in the City for development. He also
asked about charging for parking.
In response to the question about parking Director Detweiler stated that the proposed 90
spots could be metered to assure access to the park amenities.

Commissioner Englebrecht suggested that fire rings be incorporated into the plan and
stated he was unaware if the location of existing homes met the distance requirements
but hoped it could be looked into as well.
Commissioner Cole inquired on the design drawing showing a possible dock and stated
he also had hopes for family activities and concerts to be incorporated into the plan. He
questioned parking control and if the proposed lot would be large enough for the
proposed activities and an area for bicycles.
Commissioner Girling stated that the dock had been removed from the previous design
plan and that a number of bike spaces would be included.
Director Detweiler suggested incorporating an architectural design for the parking of
bicycles.
Commissioner Girling commented that he envisioned the area to be used as a friendly
recreation destination.
In response to Commissioner Cole’s inquiry regarding a sense of cost or funding for the
project, Commissioner Girling cautioned against the idea of requesting additional staff
time on estimating costs until the concept is vetted and is presented to the City Council.
He also responded to Commissioner Cole’s inquiry of how the earlier staging and
channel dredging was allowed to occur in an MPA area stating that it was not a
development and therefore was not a conflict.
Commissioner Hayes inquired regarding the peninsula of green on the rendering and
asked if moved, could parking be maximized. He stated he thinks the proposed plan is
great however voiced concern for not having enough room for bicycles and cars.
Commissioner Girling stated the bike trail would go around the green area and the desire
is to preserve plant life as much as possible.
Vice Chair Cole opened the public discussion.
Roy Sinclair stated that he uses Castaways Park daily to walk his dog and that he supports the project
and excited for the much needed public access. He suggested incorporating the Old Landing
monument on Dover Drive into the park for better public view.
Harbor Commissioner Girling responded that a historic component will be incorporated into the
design.
Jim Mosher provided historical background to the proposed McFadden Landing stating that it was
originally called “Newport” and later changed to “McFadden”. He went on to say that project is a
much better one than the current gravel parking lot. He advised the Commission to preserve and
protect current parks and that the he felt that the Upper Castaway Park is being encroached upon in
this plan and is preserved as a natural view park and is one of the last remaining areas of natural land.
Paul Julian agreed with the idea of moving the monument to the park and commended the
Commission on the plan including bringing in more space for bicyclists. He expressed minor concern
for patrols and loitering issues, and the maintenance of surrounding vegetation. He inquired if the
dock could be used for Duffy boats, and stated that the new staircase will most likely be visible from his
living room, but hoped additional vegetation would provide him privacy.

Vice Chair Cole closed the public discussion.
Director Detweiler clarified that no vote was necessary at this time and stated diligent notes had been
taken on the matter. She thanked Harbor Commissioner Girling, Harbor Resources Manager Miller
and Architect David Volz for their hard work on the presentation and leg work involved. She stated
that staff was very excited about this project.
B. West Newport Community Center Ad Hoc Committee Appointment
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the PB&R Commission appoint (2) commissioners
to serve on the West Newport Community Center Ad Hoc Committee to assist in seeking
community input on site locations and amenities for a brand new West Newport Community
Center in the western part of Newport Beach.
Director Detweiler stated that staff had received direction from the City Council to provide
additional community outreach to gain input on preferred site location and amenities for the
new West Newport Community Center. She asked that two (2) Commissioners be appointed to
serve throughout the project process. She also noted that she had spoken previously with Chair
Anderson who expressed interest in serving on the committee.
Vice Chair Cole opened the floor for nominations.
Commissioner Marston nominated Chair Anderson and Commissioner Hayes to serve on the
committee.
Commissioner Howald stated he would like to serve due to his experience or used as a resource.
Commissioner Hayes stated he would be eager to serve as well.
Commissioner Englebrecht stated that Chair Anderson and Commissioner Hayes would best be
suited to sit on the committee due to their west side home locations. Additionally he inquired to
Director Detweiler how the Community College would fit into the process.
Director Detweiler stated that they are working with Coastline Community College to run some
programs there in the interim until plans are fully developed. She stated that Pacifica Christian
School has shown an interest in leasing a portion of the existing West Newport Community
Center.
Commissioner Hamilton nominated Commissioner Howald.
Vice Chair Cole nominated Commissioner Marston. He went on to say that we were asked for
two but we can have three serve on the committee.
Motion by Commissioner Englebrecht; seconded by Commissioner Howald, to nominate
Chair Anderson and Commissioners Hayes and Marston to serve on the West Newport
Community Center Ad Hoc Committee.
Vice Chair Cole opened the public discussion.
Jim Mosher inquired if the Commission was creating a sub-committee of the commission or if
these are appointments to some other group. He advised that the meetings of recently appointed
Harbor Commission Ad Hoc Subcommittees were chosen to be publicly noticed and feels that
although not compelled by the Brown Act, this would be a good idea to apply to this new sub-
committee.

Commissioner Englebrecht reported that he and Chair Anderson had met with staff as the Street
Tree Designation Ad-Hoc Committee and learned that even though the City has many trees, the
availability, the size and width of the tree and parkway are huge determining factors on whether
the tree will survive or flourish.
Vice Chair Cole noted that the Blackball Committee will meet on April 2.
In response to Commissioner Marston’s question about the date of the G-1 meeting, Acting
Director Pisani stated that a meeting was held last month and added that the CR&R

Children’s Water Education Festival
The City of Newport Beach was well-represented at the 18th annual Children’s Water Education Festival. The Festival was
held on March 26th and 27th at the University of California,
Irvine, and more than 7,000 third, fourth, and fifth grade
students and their teachers were expected to attend. This
unique event is offered to Orange County schools at no cost. Students from throughout the county come to learn about water issues and what they can do to protect natural resources.
The Marine Protection and Education Division hosted a booth
entitled “No Dumping: Drains to Ocean” and centered on the theme of Marine Debris. Over the course of the two-day event,
over 300 students visited, discussing the different types of trash
that make their way to our beaches and oceans and how that
trash can be prevented. Students discovered that a cigarette
discarded today will still be around when they go to college,
and fishing line lasts 600 years! The booth’s popular centerpiece was an interactive, hand-crafted tide pool
simulation, where students observed the impacts of trash on a
marine ecosystem and generated ideas about recycling, trash
prevention, and tide pool conservation. Perhaps we’ll see these
young explorers soon, visiting our tide pools respectfully and serving as role models of environmental stewardship.
Water Safety Instructor Training
April officially kicked off new summer aquatics staff training! During the weekend of April 12, nine new
pool swim instructor trainees attended 20+ hours of training on American Red Cross Water Safety Instruction (WSI).
