Ron Whitley gave a review of the Mouth of Big Canyon issue
and pointed out that the City-Council at their last meeting
asked the Commission to determine the exact acreage for
dedication. Questions by the Commission followed-. Ron
indicated we are reluctant to give park credits that may not
serve the community or serve the best recreational needs of
the community, i.e., flood zone, steep slopes, salty soil
conditions, etc.
Chairman Stuart opened the meeting to'public testimony. DaV
Dmohowski from The.Irvine Company addressed the Commission.
He said he was present to listen and answer any questions

moved that 3 acres of park credits be granted with The
Irvine Company dedicating all of Big Canyon to the City
exclusive of the north slopes and-approximately 2.5 acres
of land adjacent to Jamboree Road. The park credits of 3
acres would be applied to Block 800, PCH frontage, Newport
Village, Big Canyon Area 10 and Big Canyon Area 16.
Additional discussion followed and Hopkins substituted his
motion to read that 2.5 acres, rather than 3 acres, of park
credits be granted and that the City be indemnified for 3
years against any possible slope failures related to the Big
Canyon site. Cole seconded. Motion unanimous.

Item No. 7
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
• Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department
DATE: July 5, 1983
TO: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
FROM: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Encroachment Request, 3631 Ocean Blvd.
The area between Inspiration Point and Little Corona on the ocean
side of Ocean Blvd: in Corona del Mar is a unique development area.
The ocean side homesites are built almost on the lot lines with
their front yards actually being public property.
Because of this situation, any development as proposed by the
property owner of the public right of way must be authorized by
an approved encroachment permit. The attached request will provide
specific plans for the residence at the subject address.
I would encourage you to drive by and look at the situation at
that site and also review similar requests in that area that have
been approved. We have attempted to anticipate view problems
that might occur and also maintain a path that remains accessible
to the public in this area.
If there are any questions, feel free to call.

that approval will be consistent with the public interest.

but not limited to fences, walls, patios, raised planters,
etc.
