6. Current Business
A. California Coastal Commission Draft Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance — Staff
Update
Assistant City Attorney Leonie Mulvihill reviewed the concepts behind the Coastal
Commission's document, and how it may affect Newport in the future. She
discussed the letter that the City sent which describes how the proposed policy will
affect areas in Newport that are already built out, such as in Newport Harbor. She
also reviewed the letter sent from the California League of Cities which suggested
the policy should be regarded as a guidance document instead of a regulatory
document. Leonie also commented that property rights may possibly be affected,
and noted that the City is closely monitoring the proposal as it works its way through
the Coastal Commission.
B. Mariner's Mile Walkway—Review of Conceptual Plans from 2004
Chris Miller reviewed the PowerPoint that was presented to the City Council in
2004. This plan presented an overview of the concept of constructing a public
pedestrian boardwalk along most of the frontage of Mariner's Mile from the Newport
Blvd. bridge to the Balboa Bay Resort. The study examined the constraints in front
of each commercial building, and addressed these with a conceptual, out-of-the box
approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility from a broad
perspective, and it was determined that it was feasible. The Council did not provide
further direction in 2004.
2
Discussion followed. Jim Dastur inquired about fixed elevation of structures.
Council Member Selich added that a walkway should be incorporated in the
planning documents related to Mariner's Mile.
C. General Discussion of Derelict Vessels, Moorings and Related Topics
Harbor Analyst Shannon Levin gave a brief report on moorings and related topics.
Specifically, she discussed mooring management via the Harbor Patrol, general
mooring rules and fees, servicing moorings, wait list, impounds, auctions, live-
aboards and revocations. She also discussed the upcoming state grants that the
City was applying for (and subsequently received) to assist with disposing vessels
that were abandoned or derelict.
D. Public Pier Improvements
Chris Miller described the upcoming public pier improvement project which includes
re-decking, new hand rails and new benches at 10 of the City's piers. This project

lave been a harbor user for over forty five years. Over the last six years I have been writing a Harbor Column for the Daily
Pilot and other local papers. During this time I have attended most of our Harbor Commission meetings and have a strong
understanding of our harbor topics and issues.
As a yacht broker, I travel up and dawn our coast regularly, to the east coast of the United States,and have been Europe on
business.I am a competitive sailor and have visited most of the harbors in the United States. My work and passion for boating
keeps me on the harbor on a daily basis.
I am continuously promoting harbor events from sailing, fishing, SUP,and rowing in my column. While working, I have noticed
other harbors Marine Recycling Centers, floating docks systems, launch ramps,commercial facilities and marinas.
My observations can help save the city time and money.The feeling of making the harbor a better place with continuied public
accessibility is why I submits my application.
For more of my observations and promoting boating please go to my blog site at http://lenboseyachts.blogspot.com

From: Jamshed Dastur
Sent: Friday,June 06, 2014 11:27 AM
Dear Tidelands Management Committee:
Ever since the news broke, almost 3 years ago, about a plan to possibly spend upwards of
$70,000,000 for new sea walls for Balboa Island, I have been trying to understand the need for and
the details behind this evolving proposal. To the extent that I have knowledge of and experience in
marine construction and engineering cost estimates, I have tried to put in my two cents worth. I am
truly thankful to City Council members for having given me the opportunity to participate through my
appointment to the Citizen's Advisory Panel to the Tidelands Management Committee.(TMC)
A lot of new, useful information has been provided by City staff during the last 3 meetings of TMC. I
find it difficult to respond to facts and figures presented at the meeting without taking the time to
understand and digest them over a period of time. My current understanding of the situation, along
with my personal/professional opinion, for what it is worth, is as follows:
1. Balboa Island is protected from sea erosion and tidal flooding by a concrete wall, owned and
maintained by the City. The total length of the wall is approximately 13,200 feet(+/-). The elevation of
the top of the wall varies from a high of 9.1' to a low of 7.7'.
2. Of the 13,200 feet of wall, about 3,800 feet (along the Grand Canal and the West end of the big
island) has
deteriorated to the extent that it would be prudent to replace it within the next 5 to 7 years. There is no
impending emergency to replace this section of the wall immediately, although planning, engineering
and permitting needs to be addressed and is being addressed currently. The remaining 9,400 feet of
wall has at least 20 to 25 years of useful life left, with normal routine maintenance. (This conclusion
was supported by the City's consultant at one of the TMC meetings) With competing claims for scarce
tax dollars, it would be a non-starter to consider any replacement of this section of the wall, any time
soon.
3. There is general consensus that the sea level has risen in the past 20 years and is continuing to
rise. The top elevation of 7.7' for a significant portion of the existing sea wall poses a present and
imminent danger of swamping the island during a king tide combined with an ocean surge and a
heavy rain storm. The probability of this happening may be small, but the consequences would be
catastrophic. This issue needs to be addressed on an expedited basis.
4. The political football as to who should pay for any or all of the costs associated with these issues is
finally being kicked around. The suggestion that Balboa Island property owners be required to pick
up a substantial portion of the costs associated with sea walls, further muddies the already murky
waters.
i
5. Current thinking and planning is for the City to put all issues - the entire 13,200 feet of the sea
walls, ferry terminal & fuel dock, bridge retrofits, etc. - into one package for permitting and financing;
this leads to the daunting $72,000,000 number. It also forces a design decision for 75% of the wall
that does not need to be made for the next 25 years.
Based on the above premises, I would like to put forth these ideas for your consideration.
A. As a first order of business, engineer and construct a cap addition to the 9,400 feet of wall that
has a remaining life expectancy of 25 years, so that the top elevation is 9'. This can be accomplished
along the lines of the cap addition done to the Little Island's South Bay Front. This would not entail
any extraneous issues such as access to private docks and the beach, permitting for encroachment,
ADA issues, home-owner views, etc. The total cost associated with this, per the City's estimate of
$250 - $300 per foot would be $2.4 to $2.8 million. The cost for this should be borne by the City. Do
not have this issue tied up with planning or permitting for a new wall.
The reason for opting for a height limit of elevation 9.0 is that this 9,400 feet long wall will be
replaced at some date in the distant future. At that time, we will have a better understanding of how
fast the sea is rising as well as what is being done holistically about rising sea level for the rest of the
inner harbor.
B. Proceed cautiously with the planning, engineering and permitting of the 3,400 feet of new wall.
The total cost associated with this, per the City's estimate of$3,800 - $4,000 per foot (I believe this
number already has contingencies built into it and does not need additional contingency on top of
that) would be $14.4 to $15.2 million. Since this is a new wall and expected to serve for the next 75 to
100 years, the preferred top elevation should be 10'. The City should be able to find the money, from
the tidelands fund and supplemented by the General Fund, to get this done over the next 5 to 7
years.
C. Its is premature and counter-productive to reconfigure the entire ferry landing for future high tides.
Re-grading the sidewalk and Agate street to provide protection up to elevation 9' can be
accomplished at minimal cost out of the General Fund. The same applies to retrofitting of bridges.
The above course of action reduces the monumental $72,000,000 problem to a more manageable
$15,000,000 to $20,000,000 problem that addresses issues for the next 20 to 25 years while we
continue to look for holistic solutions for the entire harbor, for the future beyond.
I am available to meet with anyone of you if you are so inclined, to discuss my views in detail.
Thank you for your indulgence in reading this presentation.

Please bear with me while I run through some thoughts that have been bugging me.
I understand that the City, with the blessings of the Tidelands management Committee, is proceeding forward with a
conceptual wall consisting of H piles and concrete planks as opposed to a steel sheet pile wall. This decision is based on
the premise that the former is aesthetically superior and is possibly a little less expensive. However, this conclusion
ignores two other parameters-functionality and constructability.
Functionality: The new sea wall, eventually will require a dewatering system to control the water table on the island.A
sheet pile wall, where all of the sheets go deep into the soil, would provide a much better sub-soil water barrier than the
concrete planks which do not go as deep. In fact, the main function of the concrete planks is to retain the soil and will
provide little or no relief from water intrusion. This will necessitate a considerably bigger dewatering system for that option.
Constructability: Installation of the sheet pile wall is a single operation-drive sheet piles. This activity is done without
disturbing the soil or having any construction activity under water. However, in order to install the concrete planks, under-
water excavation will have to be done in front of the existing fragile wall. This will raise issues in the permitting process
regarding control of turbidity and the handling/disposal of excavated material.Any excavation done below the existing wall
could trigger a local failure of the wall, during construction, endangering the safety of adjoining homes. This system also
requires multiple pieces of equipment for different activities- pile driving, hoisting concrete planks, excavation, disposal of
excavated material - in a very congested area. Although, generically an H-pile/Concrete Plank wall may be a little less
expensive than a steel sheet pile wall, I believe that in this special situation, it may not be the case.
I hope the above factors are given due consideration before it is too late.
Thank you for your indulgence.
