12 This proposed extension of Bluff Road clearly traverses EHSA that even the owners of Banning Ranch admit to.

13 Bluff Road is a Four-Part Violation of the Coastal Act

14 There are alternatives to building the Banning Ranch entrance road (1 st leg of Bluff Road) for Sunset Ridge Park Many, many alternatives were offered in the draft EIR public comments

15 There is a chronically under-utilized public parking lot right across the street Sunset Ridge

16 Caltrans deed restriction on paved roads can be re-negotiated

17 The public supports an alternative to the Banning Ranch entrance road By a 3:1 margin, speakers at the 3/23/10 council hearing urged the NB council to build the Sunset Ridge Park, but with an alternative entrance

18 Bluff Road is not needed! Newport Beach has prospered without it.
