Existing Dock

Proposed Dock 978 square feet (214 square foot increase) 23.4 feet from northern property line 8 feet from southern property line 7.5 foot northerly finger 4 foot southerly finger Reduction in ½ foot compared to existing slip fingers

Proposed Dock

Commercial Marina Concern of Newport Marina owner that new dock structure will impede access to commercial marina Month-to-month lease with County of Orange End slip located 26 feet from property line Proposed dock is 23.4 feet from property line Total distance would be 49.4 feet between dock structures

Commercial Marina

Claim that dock replacement will reduce or preclude “public access” into and out of marina Newport Marina is not a point of public access. The nearest public access is located 1/3 of a mile to the west at the Balboa Bay Club. Clearance of 24 feet from end of the interior slips to existing seawall Existing boat overhanging the first interior slip, clearance is approximately 19 feet to the seawall Greater clearance between the marina and the applicant’s property line compared to marina docks and seawall

Commercial Marina Choke Point

City Harbor Regulations Residential piers/slips must be setback 5 feet from property line. (Municipal Code Section (B) Proposed dock is compliant with City Harbor Regulations - setback 23.4 feet from northern property line If commercial marina is in conformity with City Harbor Regulations, there will be no conflict

City Harbor Regulations City Approval In Concept, February 19, 2014

City Harbor Regulations “I am confirming that Newport Marina does not have permission to operate past the prolongation of their property lines” Newport Beach Harbor Resources Manager Chris Miller

Dock Location A two foot increase towards the northerly property line is necessary to accommodate the gangway, which is 24 feet long, the City’s minimum required length Dock cannot be moved further south as suggested by the marina owner because pier is five feet from the southerly property line, which is the minimum setback Gangway cannot be shortened and access pier cannot be moved any further south because of City Harbor Regulations

Conclusion The proposed dock located entirely within the applicant’s water area and is setback from the property line in excess of local requirements (23.4 feet where requirement is 5 feet) Commercial marina cannot rely on private homeowner’s property line for access to the marina Access will remain unimpeded

Proposed dock replacement will not impede access to the marina
