More on Marinapark

I’m live right beside the proposed Marinapark, and for the

residents, more congestion and the more commercial aspect of the

Balboa Peninsula, it’s certainly not a good idea, I don’t care how

much is trimmed. For those that can make profit on this kind of

thing, I’d say probably the question is yes. The whole concept of a

hotel coming in, 110 rooms and all the supporting people needed to

make the hotel functional, to think that that’s not going to increase

traffic is absolutely ludicrous. And if anyone believes that that’s

not going to inflate traffic, I’ve got some good swamp land in

Florida and I’ve got this big bridge around San Francisco, the San

Francisco Bay Bride, it’s called. Stephen Sutherland keeps saying

he’s going to knock on every door. Well, I’ve lived here 13 years and

I attended the first forum. I have had no knock on my door.

What the Sutherland-Talla hospitality developers are promoting is

greater public access and open space where the bay is visible with

the street, all in compliance with the tideland designation of that

property. From an environmental issue, the solar infrastructure and

urban runoff from the mobile home park will be repaired. I am

confident the Newport Beach residents will vote in favor of the

resort under the Greenlight initiative.

I think that the new plan that Stephen Sutherland has submitted

would be a good one. I think we could use a nice hotel. We don’t have

that many of them here in Newport, at least by the water, and I think

that he has come down in the amount of rooms and so forth, that it

would be definitely something nice for the city.

I do think that it would be a very good idea as an improvement in

that area in Newport Beach.

I’m very much in favor of the Marinapark.
