A civic conundrum is unfolding on Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula just in time for the Fourth of July, as the city’s code enforcement team considers removing a flagpole with a long but somewhat mysterious provenance for encroaching onto publicly owned land.
Officers responding to a complaint arrived this week to a row of homes along the oceanfront Newport Balboa Bike Trail, where the U.S. and California state flags flapped freely atop a flagpole mounted into a sandy beach berm.
Neighbors say the pole has probably been there since around the time the nearby houses were built in the 1950s.
