The configuration of the Linear and View Park was previously recommended as to size by this Commission. One condition in the development agreement was that Semeniuk Slough be improved. In addition, one mitigation measure necessary for the project is-that the ideal location would be the Mouth of Big Canyon. Staff and the Park and Open Space Committee have reviewed the plans extensively, and input provided at the committee's meeting has been incorporated into the proposal. Request is made to approve the conceptual plans only. When specifications and preliminary plans are prepared, they will be presented to the Commission. Mr. F.W. Evins, Vice President of Facilities Design and Construction for Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission. Mr. Evins explained that Hoag's Master Plan required certain mitigation measures and public improvements to occur which are the Linear /Consolidated View Park, the Wetland Mitigation Plan in Mouth of Big, Canyon and the Semeniuk Slough Improvements. Referring to the Preliminary Conceputal Plan for the Linear /Consolidated Park on display, Mr. Evins explained the major components which will include the existing bike trail, a 12 -15' high cribwall, and a 42" high guard rail. Hoag Memorial Hospital Master Plan CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks. Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 sd • 3�0 \A1 h^ .So�� n City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX The ground cover will be primarily drought tolerant grass and low ground covers. Hardscape will include benches, trash receptacles, bike ra6ks, drinking fountain and walkways. The park will meet all handicap requirements. In response to a question from Commissioner Demmer, Mr. Evins advised that, although the City will own the park, Hoag Hospital will be responsible for maintaining the hand rails. Mr, Greg Prettyman, representative from Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission on the Conceptual Wetland Mitigation Plan at Mouth of Big Canyon. The plan proposes expansion of the open water habitat which would • involve excavation adjacent to the existing pond. This open water expansion would ensure free flow of water and would remove the need` for the Department of Fish and Game to periodically dredge the cattails which, in turn, disturb the plants and birds. Mr. F.W. Evins addressed the Commission and- explained that it- is the hospital's policy to manage and monitor the wetlands for three years. He further explained the advantages of the proposed plan which will increase acreage for water wild life and plants, preserve the cattail marsh and provide a nature trail and vistas to make the site more usable as a recreation area. Mr. Greg Prettyman addressed the Commission to explain the Conceptual Plan of Semeniuk Slough Improvements which is designed to preserve and enhance the area. Their proposal will _ provide protection of the adjoining wetlands which will be valuable to the wild life in the area. Recreational features will include a boardwalk, a low wood fence, patio rest stop, a CITY-OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks.

Following Hoag Hospital's presentation, Chair Compton opened the meeting to public hearing. Mr. Bill Jennings, 280 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission on the Linear and View Park. He referred to his letter dated August 28 wherein he and Mr., Lars Hansen endorsed the plan but offered suggestions that would ease the. utilization for the handicapped. Mr. Jennings passed out photos of Galaxy View Park and its use of railroad ties /hand rails that they propose be implemented for both safety and aesthetic reasons. Mr. -Jennings . stated they are happy to see the project come to fruition. Louise Greeley, 16 Swift Court, addressed the Commission. Mrs. Greeley stated she was concerned that the proposed boardwalk might encroach on the wetlands and that the Pickleweed, which Cal Trans bulldozed in 1989, be saved during maintenance. Mrs. Greeley asked to be part of the planning process which should also address the need for the existing volleyball court and benches in addition to stipulating boundaries and species of plants and trees. In response to a question from Mrs. Greeley, Chair Compton advised that Hoag Hospital's . contribution was negotiated at $200,000 to bring this project to fruition. The project has been studied for three years and it is intended to improve the area and be kept in its natural environment. When completed, it will become part of the park system. He also assured Mrs. Greeley she will be included in the planning process. Jo Anne Burns, 300 Cagney Lane, CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks. Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 • �``o_ 0��c° h� ~�o��cX City Council Chambers 7 p.m. _ INDEX addressed the Commission. Mrs. Burns expressed her concern that 3 acres of wetlands will be lost with the reconfiguration, however, she is pleased with the choice of the wetlands. She stated she is delighted with the Semeniuk Slough proposal and would like to be included in the planning process. Mrs. Burns stated that although the dredging idea at Mouth of Big Canyon is good, she is concerned about the soil and proposed greenery to be put in. Should the soil be leached out, the water that is drained will go into the Upper Bay. Mrs. Burns also recommended the Linear Park have temporary fencing. . In response to a question from Mrs. Burns, Director Whitley explained that funding has been applied for a number of projects, however, due to their criteria, we have been unsuccessful at this site. We will continue to pursue. Steve Puppo, 452 62nd Street, addressed the Commission and reported how excited he- is about the proposed improvements at Semeniuk Slough and the West Newport area. There being no further public testimony, Chair Compton closed the meeting to public hearing. Commissioner Schonlau asked to be excused due to a possible conflict of interest as President of the West Newport Beach Association. Commissioner Herberts stated she was impressed with Hoag Hospital and the • environmentalists' efforts and is pleased with their compromise. In response to Commissioner Demmer's concerns about restoring the Pickleweed on the east side removed by CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks.

Item #6 - Tree Appeal - .2340 Port Tree Appeal Durness Commissioner Herberts, Chair of the Tree Committee, reported the original recommendation from the committee and staff was to retain the two Ficus Rub'iginosas since they are beautiful and part of the tree scape and there is no sidewalk damage. She acknowledged the slab in the parkway is raised, however, this can be repaired. • In response to a question from Chair Compton, Commissioner Herberts stated ' the slab is the homeowner's responsibility. If there has been recent sidewalk replacement, staff would have root pruned and installed root barriers. Commissioner Demmer voiced her concern over the slab that the new homeowner has inherited.- Chair Compton opened the meeting to public hearing and Mr. Michael Michel, 2340 Port Durness, addressed the Commission. Mr. Michel stated he has 3 Ficus on his property, however, the large one in the center is dangerous and he requests it be replaced with a Liquid Amber at his expense. The berries have caused three slip and fall accidents and the roots are tearing up his irrigation system, the sidewalk and slab. • Commissioner Herberts pointed out that the subject tree is through fruiting now and that the cement in the parkway is the homeowner's responsibility. In addition, the designated tree for this street is the Eucalyptus Lemon Scented CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH .Parks.

' Commissioner Schonlau asked Mr. Michel how he felt about replacing the tree with a designated tree. Mr. Michel stated he would prefer a Sycamore or Liquid Amber, the latter of which is on'the upper portion of the street. During discussion Commissioner Demmer stated she does not want to see the City lose control of the parkway system and beautification program by allowing a "people's choice" if they pay for the removal and replacement. The City should remove City trees and replace according - to the designated plan of desired neighborhood tree replacement.

The homeowner is requesting that two Liquid Ambers on Alta Vista be removed. 1 Chair Compton opened the meeting to public hearing and Mr. Robert Hardy, 901 Aleppo Street, addressed the Commission.

She felt the problem is his trees and the neighbors' trees. Commissioner Demmer suggested postponing this item until the viewpoint of the Eastbluff Homeowners Association is received.

Item #8 - Tree Appeal - 2430 Holly Tree Lane Appeal Commissioner Herberts acknowledged there is a plumbing problem but questioned if it is due to the subject tree which the neighbors want to retain. Mr. William Frank, 2430 Holly Lane, addressed the Commission. Mr. Frank clarified his plumbing problems and costs over the past ten years and requested these problems be solved. Mr. Frank explained this is a City tree in front of his neighbor's yard which they would both like saved if \` • \ possible. Commissioner Herberts suggested Mr. Frank first find out where the break in the pipe is before any decisions on the tree, including root pruning, are C 1 TY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks.

Commissioner Herberts reported the original recommendation by staff and the committee was to retain the tree and correct the root problem. Commissioner Herberts pointed out that the crack in the patio is parallel; generally it would be perpendicular if the tree is causing the problem. The subject tree, a Pinus Radiata, is on the Preservation of Special Trees list. \ . \ ` Commissioner Schonlau reported he visited the site where the Macks' tenants reside and was told that they pulled a great quantity of root from the planter box in their yard, located inside the fence and 50' away from the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks.

After receiving input through the Public Hearing process, recommend to the City Council: That the current level of use at Bonita Creek Park remain the same, or; The use of Bonita Creek Park be reduced to eliminate user groups that create noise, parking problems, etc. 0 DISCUSSION• This issue is one that surfaces from time to time and is mainly due to the noise and volume of park visitors associated with the Jr. All American Football program. Staff is in a sensitive position on this matter in that we embrace the philosophy of the football program as a wholesome program that significantly enhances the development of the youth of our community. On the other hand, we respect the rights of property owners to have a peaceful situation, especially those in close proximity to the park, and would hope that we can be good neighbors. All efforts to mitigate the problems identified by hours of operation, reduced noise makers, parking control and physical improvement to the facility have not provided sufficient results to solve the problem. At the request of the Association in a letter dated June 24, 1992, the Commission was scheduled to provide direction on this matter at your August meeting. As a result of being notified on July 31, 1992 by the Association that they would prefer to delay this item until your October meeting has resulted in the matter being on your agenda this evening. Attached to this report are reports prepared in the past on this - matter that will provide background on this long standing issue. Since summer, when this issue was brought up, the Recreation • Program Committee met in the Community Room at Bonita Creek Park with local residents and user groups to attempt to identify the I� • problems and assist in helping the Commission to reach a decision. Minutes of that meeting are attached for information. And, finally, a letter received from a Newport North resident in support of programs at Bonita Creek Park is attached for information purposes. i ., e • • 1 - NEWPORT HOMEOWNERS ASSUC IA IUN �•!��,,,.; •r•••�••,'.n^ ^•.1' °s :�" h'tti.cd.6:.tity.:... ::i....:c a:1 Z.::A'U:�,fuiL'�.. .AllVua;vaW.

RE: BONITA CREEK PARK D Police iel ❑ P4iiCe c�i� Dear City Council: D D Other �ir (Ver The purpose of this letter is to express our strong support behind the efforts of many of the residents of Newport North Villas Single Family Home Development to change the use of Bonita Creek Park from a regional athletic facility to a community -use park. Our residents want to know "'Where 'is our Park ?" The land and money used to create Bonita Creek Park were obtained by the City through the Park Dedication Ordinance (copy attached) which specifically requires, in both letter and spirit, that any park created by this mechanism be for the benefit of the residents of 1p the Subdivision. on average, the cost of each residential unit of the North Ford communities, which includes all of - Belcourt, Bay Ridge, Newport North Villas, Townhomes, and Apartments (and 400 future apartments along Sand Creek South) included approximately $6,000* to create and develop this Park. No other citizens of Newport Beach contributed funds for this Park, yet virtually 100% of the activity is imported from other areas of the City and beyond. We recently conducted a written poll of our residents and better than 50% response we received is truly surprising compared to the interest we see on other issues. We found that the facilities at Bonita Creek Park do not reflect the needs or desires of our residents. Passive sitting areas, a walking /jogging track, picnic areas, walking and stroller paths, bicycle paths, par exercise course, dog runs, tennis courts, and such are the amenities which we prefer and those preferences should be considered. The issue has come to the forefront mainly because the activities held at this Park are almost exclusively organized leagues for softball, football, and soccer which generate noise and traffic and create a continued annoyance to the immediate neighborhood'. While we support athletic activities for all ages, the playing fields at Bonita Creek Park are too near the adjacient residences and all traffic to /from the Park is carried on residential streets rather than major roadways. This type of active facility, which has generated over 2,000 spectators and participants throughout an afternoon or evening should not be so near a residential area. R 1 BONITA CREEK PARK JUNE 24, 1992 PAGE TWO We feel it unfair that the adjacent residents bore the cost of the park but derive little or no benefits from its intended use. We recommend that you commission a survey of the residents of the North Ford Communities to determine what facilities are desired and then come closer to satisfying the desires of those residents who footed the it for the park.

You are encouraged to attend this meeting to provide your input to the Commission on this issue.

It is hereby found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare and safety require that the dedi- cation of land, or payment of fees, or both, shall not exceed a proportionate amount necessary to provide three acres of park per 1,000 persons residing within a subdivision subject to this section, unless the amount of existing neighborhood' and community park area, as shown on the records, maps and reports of the City as of the date of the most recent available Federal census, exceeds three acres per 1,000 persons and, in that event, the City may require dedication in proportion to the higher standard but, in no event, shall the dedication standard exceed five acres per 1,000 persons.

"1 he amount of land to be dedicated shall be determined as follows: (a) The City shall determine the number of dwelling units per gross acre to be constructed. The City shall determine the average number of per- sons per dwelling unit, and this computation shall be based upon the average household size for the dwelling units to be constructed, as disclosed by the most recent available Federal or State census, unless there is substantial evi- dence to support a finding by the City that a different household size is appropriate for some, or all, of the dwelling units proposed' to be con- structed; (b) The City shall calculate the actual acreage of existing neighborhood and community parks, as shown on the records, maps and reports of the City as of the date of the most recent available Federal census and, using the number of persons residing in the City as of that date, determine whether the park area exceeds three acres per 1,000 persons. If, according to ,that cal- culation, the park area is equal to, or less than, three acres per 1,000 persons, then the dedication of land shall not exceed the amount necessary to provide three acres of park per 1,000 persons residing within the subdivision under consideration. If the park area is in excess of three acres per 1,000; the City may require a dedication in proportion to the higher standard but, in no event, shall the dedication requirements exceed five acres per 1,000 persons; (c) The acreage per dwelling unit to be dedicated shall be computed by multiplying the average number of persons per dwelling unit by the acres of park area per 1,000 persons, as determined in Subsection (b), and dividing that number by 1,000.

If there is no park or recreational facility designated in the recrea- tional element of the General Plan to be located, in whole or in art, within . the or000sed subdivision, to serve the immediate and future needs of resi- dents of the subdivision or if the proposed subdivision contains 5U parcels or less, the subdivider shall, in lieu of dedication of land, pay a fee equal to the value of the amount of land prescribed for dedication pursuant to Sec- tion 19.50.040; the amount to be determined in accordance with the provi- sions of Section 19.50.070. (b) Use of Money. The money collected hereunder shall be used only for the purpose of develo2ing new, or rehabilitating existin park or recrea- tional facilities ieasonabiy related to serving the subdivision, either by way of the purchase o and as necessary or parK purposes or, it t e City Council determines that there is sufficient land available, for the improvement of such land for park and recreational purposes. Any fees collected pursuant to this ordinance shall be committed within five years after the payment of such fees, or the issuance of building permits on one -half of the lots created 400-1 (Newport Beach 8.83) 19.50.060- 19.50.080 SUBDIVISIO143 by the subdivision, whichever occurslater. If such fees are not committed. they shall be distributed and paid to the record owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots within the subdivision. (c) The interest earned on the accumulated in -lieu fees may be used for the maintenance of any existing park or recreational facilities. (Ord. 83 -22 § I (part), 1983: Initiative Ord. 1733 § 1 (part), 1977). 19.50.060 Criteria for Requiring Both Dedication and Fee. In subdivi- sions of more than 50 parcels, the subdivider shall both dedicate land and pay a fee in lieu thereof, in accordance with the following formula: (a) When only a portion of the land to be subdivided is proposed in the recreational element of the General Plan as a site for a park, such portion shall be dedicated for park purposes and a fee, computed pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.50.070, shall be paid for the additional land that would have been required to be dedicated pursuant to Section 19.50.040. (b) When a major part of the park or recreational site has already been acquired by the City, and only a small portion of land is needed from the subdivision to complete the site, such remaining portion shall be dedicated and a fee shall be paid in an amount equal to the value of the land com- puted pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.50.070, which otherwise would have been required to be dedicated pursuant to Section 19.50.040; such fee to be used for the improvement of the existing park and recrea- tional facilit or for the improvement of other local parks and recreational facilities in the area served 1, the subdivrsion (c) The funds co ecte pursuant to t is Section shall be committed, and used, in accordance with th4 provisions of Section 19.50.050 (b) and (c). (Ord. 83 -22 § I (part), 1983: initiative Ord. 1733 § 1 (part), 1977). 19.50.070 Amount of Fee in Lieu of Land Dedication. Where a fee is required to be paid in lieu of land dedication, such fee shall be computed by multiplying the acreage of land which would otherwise have been required to be dedicated pursuant to Section 19.50.040, times the median fair market value per acre, calculated on the basis of the highest and best use, of the land in all neighborhood public parks within the City. The market value of such land shall be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in property values. (Ord. 83 -22 § 1 (part), 1983: Initiative Ord. 1733 § 1 (part), 1977). 19.50.080 Determination of Land or Fee..

As you know, we have had complaints from surrounding residential areas with regard to lights and noise. We have implemented conditions that control time for lights to go off and this request indicates a need for further conditions to be considered. If there are questions, please feel free to call. 0 0 August 23, 1990 To: The City of Newport Beach Parks Beaches and Recreation Commission 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, Ca. 92663 Subject: Bonita Creek Park Dear Commission, The design and operation of the Bonita Creek Park constitutes a serious hazard, nuisance, and detriment to our community and we demand that changes be made to bring the park into compliance with common standards for community planning and with the disclosure description given to us at the time we bought our homes. In fact this facility is not a park at all, it is an active, stadium type athletic facility. It does not belong nextio an owner occuppied residential development. The following items are currently unacceptable: 1. Noise levels from cheering crowds, whistles and other such sources regularly exceed 75 decibels up to 10 :00 PM. Current regulations onlyallow 55 decibels between residences. A recent court ruling in the case of the Pacific Ampitheater set limits on noise which are regularly exceeded at the Park,. 2. The park is currently being overutilized for its parking capacity, creating a chronic situation where cars are parked illegally in the bike lanes around the park. The City is aware, by its own admission of the relatively small number of parking spaces and oversche'duling of events constitutes willful neglect of the safety of the community. 3. The park design does•not consider the presence of single family homes along its one side. a. The entrance to the park is such that all traffic to and from the park has to pass through a residential area. b. The active, noise generating areas, such as the basketball court, activity building, and grandstands, -are close to the houses and the quiet, passive areas such as the parking lots, and outfields are away from the houses. 4. The maintenance of the grass and trees in the park is substandard. 5• The majority of the people who utilize the park are not from I r the immediate area,in fact, many are from outside of Orange d1 County. This creates'an increased risk to our neighborhood from crime and vandalism. • Page 2 - ._w...6..._.The. park is virtual-ly•-unusable-ito local.residents because ••-- - -- there are'no typical park facilities such as vfalking paths or picnic tables and because of the heavy scheduling and danger of sports activities. 7. Light infiltration onto the adjoining residences. 8. All of the above problems are represented to the extreme by the Junior All- American Football Program which uses the park for 11 to 12 weeks every Saturday in September, October and November. These games go from 8 AM to 10 PM non -stopt They generate a constant stream of traffic, representing 500 -1000 people associated with the games. This includes busloads of singing, cheering, supporters, constant cheerleading,-'four referee whistes every 45 seconds or so, people with trumpets, drums, and other such instruments, car horns blowing when the cars leave and at various other times, trash and beer cans thrown into our yards from cars, loud car stereos, cars parked illegally all day in the bike lanes, etc., etc., etc.. This •If we had bought our homes with the park existing as it is we would have less of a complaint. The damages we have suffered are because the park was not built at the timefand the disclosure statement that was required by the city in the approved Planned Community Text was neither accurate nor complete. In fact, we believe that insufficient disclosure was done intentionally in order to sell the adjacent homes at the premium they were sold at and to get this facility built so that it would be too late for the local residents to stop it! 1. The record is clear that the City wanted to build an active recreational complex and that this was the last- possible location in the City. 2. The PC Text requires that disclosure be made to "all first and subsequent occupants and owners of the intent to provide active recreational facilities with night lighted fields." The disclosure we signed does not use the word "active" and does not reflect the true intent of the park planners. Further when we called the City as directed in the disclosure; no drawings of the park were. available even though they existed and the description giver, did not point out any of the i above problems. � i :1 3 • 3. The per the was and Page 3 land was deeded to the City in 1984 yet the building nit was not applied for until June 29, 1987, the same the escrow closed on the-- majorityl -of -the homes along park. Is this just a coincidence, given that the City so anxious to have this park, the land was available,# grading and drawings were complete in late 1986. 4. The sign that was placed on the site to inform the public of the park was absolutely misleading. Photos are attached of the sign, which shows trees and park benches, and of a sign put up in Yorba Linda in the same set of circumstances. The difference is night and day. Because of this lack of disclosure about the true nature of the park, the homes we purchased are now of significantly lower value. If we had known we would not have purchased here. This situation is a source of great anxiety and has seriously impacted our physical, mental, and financial well being. We believe that the City in its desire to create and force fit a certain type of facility has violated reasonable limits on the location, planning, design, approval,'and disclosure of this facility and we demand that major changes must be made,. •We are available with additional background and information on all of the above. We look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and show you firsthand the fairness of our position.

Regularly passed and adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of Newport Beach on the 26th day or September, 1983, by the following vote, to wit: AYES Balalis, Goff, King, Kurlander, McLaughlin, Person, winburn NOES ABSENT 0 • TO: Pl� g Commission - 9 Coast Highway through Mariner's Mile is a third area where future traffic volumes are of some concern. The additional traffic generated by North Ford, Belcourt, and Newport Center in this area is not the source of the problem. The Mariner's Mile area has a potential for 302,011 square feet of additional development under the existing General Plan and Zoning. This area is being studied independently to come up with a viable transportation solution. The proposed project, if approved, will add substantially to development permitted by the General Plan. It is therefore suggested that a development phasing program be developed to insure: 1. Dedication of all right -of -way needed for ultimate improvements to Jamboree Road, MacArthur Boulevard, and the Avocado Couplet; 2. timely completion of Jamboree Road, MacArthur Boulevard and Avocado Couplet ultimate improvements; 3. the completion of the Corona del Mar Freeway; and 4, the construction of Pelican Hills Road. S. Parks and Recreation Facilities. The General Plan Amendment proposed includes a t 12 acre park facility located southerly of the University Drive is extension adjacent to the residential site. Subdivision of land for a 888 unit residential project will generate f 9.9 acres of park dedication requirement. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission has twice reported to the City Council on the need for an active recreation and shorts complex (See Attachments 1 & 2). This complex is envisioned to include four (4) softball fields, parking, concession facilities and other recreational amenities (such as a gymnasium and multi- purpose rooms). This facility would be used for adult and youth recreation programs such as slow -pitch softball, youth baseball and soccer. This complex should be night - lighted. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director has further indicated (See Attachment 3) that 10 - 12 acres of flat and relatively square land will be required for this facility. The North Ford area is the only area the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department has been able to identify for this use. Future residential development on the North Ford site will be required to comply with the requirements of the Park Dedication Ordinance. A t 12 acre park should be designated on this site. The park dedication requirement of the residential development should be satisfied through dedication of land on the site. Additionally, a total of twelve (12) acres of the site shall be designated for Recreational and Environmental Open Space. Any land required for the neighborhood park/ recreation and sports complex in excess of the dedication required by the residential development ..on North Ford should be held vacant, with the additional land acquired b the City through the •(/, granting of park dedication credits, purchase or other'acquisition means. V 6. Fire Station. As indicated in the draft Environmental Impact Report, the proposed project is at the outer limits for response distance and time. Although the Fire Department indicates that there is no need to expand services as a direct result of the project, expansion of facilities in the a2- �� •It is anticipated that with a complex such as the one staff is proposing, adult softball leagues could operate year around. The maximum for Slow -Pitch would be 192 teams per quarter, or 768 per year. At a projected fee of $200 for Teague entry, maximum revenue from this one sport alone would be $153,600. Currently, adult softball returns a 30% administrative overhead after direct costs are sub- tracted from revenues. At revenues of $153,600, 30% would total $46,080 per year. To be conservative, a figure of $34,560 results from calculating league operation at 75% capacity. While it is true that the above projections may be high, one must remember these figures include only one league on only one element of the package. A high - quality softball facility would also attract tournaments, which can generate $3,000 to $4,000 per year in rentals. The four softball fields should be laid out in such a manner that multi -use fields can be created on the same turf. The demand for soccer and football fields has continually increased, especially in the area of youth soccer. This type of multi -use facility would also allow the Recreation Division to offer an Adult Flag Football League. Rentals to outside groups and additional adult leagues would further increase revenues. Regarding the gymnasium, there is an excellent potential for rentals to outside groups, as well as a rental figure which would be charged to our own classes. Expansion of the current adult basketball leagues would generate additional revenues. Currently, this Department is at the mercy of the School District, and there just isn't adequate gymnasium space. In addition to expansion of adult ! basketball and utilization by current classes, there are other possibilities: indoor soccer, floor hockey, youth sports clinics, sports camps, badminton, roller- skating, rollerdisco bingo games, and so forth. The rate of return for rentals can be maximized by including amenities such as showers, locker rooms and a weight room to the gymnasium facility. Additional multipurpose rooms are definitely needed, and costs for plumbing and other core necessities would be kept down by having the multipurpose rooms in the same structure as the gymnasium. Here again, potential for use by classes, and outside rentals is very good. The concession facility could be a real' money maker for some enterprising entrepreneur. Perhaps the most attractive alternative would be to lease the facility to a private vendor and take a percentage of the gross, as is done at Corona del Mar Main Beach. Consideration should be given to allowing the sale of beer, as this would be extremely attractive to adult - league participants. there are many restrictions one would have to impose in such a situation, of course; however, proper regulation would allow a smooth - running operation. One additional factor that should be researched on the gymnasium, multipurpose rooms and concession building is the possibility of solar energy. Since the federal and state governments have become quite proactive on this issue, there is a good chance federal grant monies might be available for funding the heating and cooling package with alternative energy forms. If "lanes" which would accommodate heavy equipment were built into the design, additional revenue could be generated by renting the open -field area for carnivals, fairs, and outdoor concerts.. The possibilities for such a complex are indeed phenomenal! • ANTICIPATED "ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD" REVENUES: (REVENUES AFTER DIRECT COSTS) Adult,Softball $ 34$60 Adult Basketball 5,000 Gymnasium Rentals 3,000 .Multipurpose Room Rentals 2;500 Special Events & Tournaments 4,000 Field Rentals 1,500 Percentage.of Concession Gross :25,000 $ 75,560 These figures are admittedly unrefined as yet; however, staff feels they are conservatively stated. At a figure of $75,560 annually, development costs would be paid off in less than seventeen years. The site selected for the project is the University- Irvine parcel. This City - owned land is approximately eight acres and would be an ideal place for such a complex. P, At its meeting of November 6, 1979, the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission endorsed the project wholeheartedly, and chose to bring this concept before the City Council at the November 26 joint meeting. The Commission strongly supports the project and wishes to ascertain Council's thoughts on the matter prior to directing staff to do further study. -3- Ll C', 3 IG 4ttacnment No. 'l February 8, 1982 � • STUDY SESSION AGENDA ITEM NO. / TO: MAYOR ANO'CITY COUNCIL FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and staff SUBJECT: ACTIVE RECREATION FACILI.TY CONCEPT: Development of an active recreation facility that includes multi -use athletic fields, adequate parking, and possible future gymnasium construction. DISCUSSION• Park development gWe have e many smalls parks that e are quite valuable from a passives neighborhood standpoint. Our number of night lighted facilities have experienced a true test of-merit due to environmental concerns. Our unique natural resources have made • Newport Beach a beautiful place topographically with outstanding views. However, it has also been one of the, reasons for our inability to pursue a first class activity center. Users of the facility that we are proposing are not only residents. The impact on our existing programs due to the industrial and commercial growth of the area is significant. We have found that for many it is desirable to participate in recreational activities• where they work. For this reason the viability and revenue generating capability of our concept is sound. The development of this type of facility will be providing a multi -use facility that will satisfy needs of the community that are current and projected to be long term areas of interest. Team sports, whether they be youth or adult, are here to stay in one form or another. To best serve the recreational needs of the community the facility must have the capability of being night lighted. No existing facility or possible school closure has this characteristic. The Commission and staff are seeking an approval of the concept by the City Council to enable active implementation plans to be pursued. Your comments and suggestions are welcome on this matter. > A /nw f7 • 0 l CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH ttacnment No. s Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department DATE: April 25,'1983 TO: Pat Temple, Senior Planner FROM: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Director SUBJECT: Future Park Needs - (u. y` In addition to what might be identified in the current review and update of the Open Space and Recreation Element of the 'General Plan, an obvious need has been determined by. users for an active recreation_fa�ciiity. Due to the tremendous growth of our adult softball program an the he addition of another youth baseball program, our capability of providing facilities for all potential users is deficient. To solve the problem, the acquisition and development of an active recreation complex that has the ability to be night - lighted is desirable. To contain four (4) softball fields, parking and other recreational amenities, a parcel of 10 -12 acres will be needed. The parcel should be flat and be relatively square for design purposes. This type of facility would be a community facility that would serve the adult patron, primarily on a day -to -day basis. However, it would be available for youth programs of a culminating type, i.e., playoff or championships. 't Bydirecting the adult users to a central facility, it allows efficient administra- tion of a revenue producing program to occur and all neighborhood and local facilities are available for use by youth groups. This assures accessibility and decreases travel time for young people who have limited travel capabilities. The North Ford area is the only area this Department has been able to identify as having the characteristics for development of the concept as proposed. It is centrally located for our primary industrial users and the lighting would not impair existing residential areas. If it is necessary to add to the development requirements, purchase outright, give future credits or some other method to obtain the desired 10 -12 acres, it is felt by this Department that this area may be our last chance to obtain a public facility of this type to service the community. If further information is necessary, please feel free to give me a call. r �� A — 74 Ron— W aTT . it ey 0 11 8. The proposed project supports the City's policy to eliminate constraints to housing production, increase allowed density, and provide incentives to the building industry to facilitate the provision of housing for low and moderate- income households. 9. The City of Newport Beach recognizes the unique opportunity to provide affordable housing on the North Ford site, consequent- ly, the proposed project's increased residential uses will achieve a balance between residential and commercial activities and between employment and housing. 10. The provision of a fire station reservation as part of the pro- posed project will increase the ability of the Fire Department to adequately serve the northeast area of the city. is11. The provision of a fire station reservation as part of the pro- posed project will represent a long -term cost savings to the City by allowing termination of the existing contract with the County of Orange for Fire Station #27. 12.

The community park has been incorporated into the design pro- cess of the proposed project at an early stage to ensure that there are_no conflicts between the residential and park uses 14.

Noise from the amphitheater will not exceed 55 decibels for more than 30 minutes, nor be louder than 75 decibels at any time, the judge's order states. Because there was only one Plaintiff in the noise complaint, Costa Mesa resident Laurie Lusk, noise levels will be measured from Lusk's property. Ending a two -week trial, Bea- com said the noise from concerts at the amphitheater had exceeded 55 decibels for more than half -hour periods for years. He ,said he be- lieves that such noise levels consti- tute a nuisance to the Lusk family members and that they deserved relief. Beacom's ruling brought Lusk to tears. She had waged the legal fight against the amphitheater with financial backing from about 300 of her neighbors. "I can't believe it," Lusk said. "I can't believe it's over." When .asked if the long court fight was ;worth it, Lusk said: "Every minute !of it." Quiet Decision- - Under terra of htdge Rich... ard J. Beaoom's Wilk *Om the paeft may not exceed: CP .

Sound levels am to ti j measured at the home of Plaintiff Laude tusk and moni -' . tored by the county marsltd's office. F But the ruling may not be the end of the issue. In the past, Nederlander officials have had noise restrictions against them overturned on appeal. Pacific attorney Deborah M. Nesset said she would have to consult with Nederlander officials, but she did not rule out the possi- bility of an appeal of Tuesday's decision. The judge assigned the county marshal's office to monitor the sound from a point near the Lusks' property —or hire someone to do it —and to report any violations. Violations would be punishable by contempt -of -court citations. At another hearing Nov. 30, the mar- shals will report on the amphithea- ter's compliance. — Nederlander officials have con- tended that noise limits would cause top rock attractions to by- pass the Pacific, crippling its ef. forts to compete. Meanwhile, the entrance.of mu- sic industry magnate Irving Azoff as a new Irvine Meadows partner i euffs out the last chance for a Eger with the Pacific Amphi- atre. iI 2 CD • .

You will also find the petition referred to by Mr. Rabun in the minutes and correspondence from the Junior All American Football organization outlining steps taken by the group to assist in alleviating the stated problems. We have also included the remaining schedule of games. As a result of this meeting, John Walz, representing Junior All American Football, has been contacted and requested to complete a thorough trash sweep of the park area following the conclusion of the final game each Saturday. *. Rich Edmonston, City Traffic Engineer, will be contacted regarding the possibility of a new inlet into the park from 'University Street. The Parks Division will be contacted to see about adding trees, picnic benches and BBQ's to the park in an attempt to make the park more available to the immediate neighbors. Some type of walking trail or perhaps a par exercise course may be in future plans for the park. The Recreation Division will also follow the lead of Junior All American Football and ban all noise makers, i.e., air horns, bull horns, and the like. The field lights, which are set on a timer to be extinguished at 10:15 P.M. Monday- Friday, will be monitored for one week to ensure the 10:15 P.M. curfew. A minimum of one of the two ball diamonds at Bonita Creek will be made available to the public for play up until one hour prior to game time. This .Department will also look into the possibility of securing Davidson Field on the opening day of Junior All American football. This seems to be the day which causes much of the animosity among the parks's neighbors as a result of the high numbers of park visitors and the traffic, noise and trash. We will also avoid all double usage of the park on Saturdays during the football season. i : j q i I "[ • • • we also informed the homeowners present that a simple call to our Department and, specifically, to Nancy Beard would be a great way to alleviate some of the problems raised at this meeting. This Department will continue Saturdays in which Bonita Creek Football season as painless as to strive towards making the 10 is used during Junior All American possible for our neighbors. • A'special Meeting of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Program Committee was held September 24 at 5:30 P.M. in the City Council Conference Room. Subiect: Bonita Creek Park /Junior All American Football Attendees* Taylor Grant, Chair, Recreation Program Committee John Konwiser, Recreation Program Committee Member Phil Glasgow, Recreation Program Committee Member Nancy Beard, Recreation Superintendent Karen Weigand, Police Department, representing the Traffic Division Mr. and Mrs. Dan Rabun, Newport North homeowners Bill Tappan, Newport North homeowner Mali Gulledge, Newport North homeowner Bob Jones, Newport North homeowner , Sandra King, Newport North homeowner and head of JAAF cheerleaders Mimi Ko, Representative from the Newport News Dottie Flohr, Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Secretary Commissioner Grant called the meeting to order at 5:35 P.M. He explained the responsibilities of the Committee which include • scheduling of facilities for both youth and adult groups. He explained that any decisions by the Committee can first be appealed to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and then to the City Council. • Dan Rabun pointed out that the idea of the homeowners meeting with the Committee came from the City Manager. He stated that the major problems are with the football games at Bonita Creek Park which generate too much traffic and noise, result of which he feels their property values have decreased. Mr. Rabun stated he felt the park was not properly designed since it is too close to residential homes. He presented a petition signed by 14 residents stating they believe the noise from football games at the park is excessive and must be stopped. Mali Gulledge reported she purchased her home because of the park, however, her 3 boys have'been told they cannot use the ball diamonds after school because the fields are reserved for evening games. She also commented that the Disclosure should have been more specific and addressed the lights, noise levels, etc. Bill Tappan reported he felt the 3 major concerns are noise, trash and parking. He stated he recognized the park is a valuable asset, however, since it has been set aside for special groups, residents are adversely affected. (Examples: 6:45 A.M. workouts, partying after games, overflowing trash, parking problems and whistles.) Bob Jones advised he was President from October, 1987 to November, Member. He agreed the Disclosure of the Homeowners Association 1990, and is a current Board Was misleading and pointed out -2- • there are 12 homeowners that face the .park who are affected by the lighting and noise. He commented that the lighting problems have been lessened considerably, however, there is a problem with the number of teams that converge on the fields at a given time. Mr. Jones reported that the Association is working with the City to implement gates, however, the homeowners are becoming increasingly concerned over the parking and noise problems and that they will become worse. He also pointed out that the lights are sometimes on until 11:00 or 11:30 P.M. which is much too late. Commissioner Grant explained that the Disclosure was discussed last year which is a subject between the buyer and seller. Nancy Beard reported the lights, which are on a timer, are scheduled to go off at 10:15 P.M. at the very latest, which is when the park is closed. No one has contacted her in this regard -and she asked that they do so in order to solve such problems. In response to the comment about activity taking place at 6:45 A.M., Ms. Beard advised that there are no scheduled activities at this hour, however, ,the park is open to the public. Karen Weigand advised that parks are not to be actively used until after 7:00 A.M. Commissioner Konwiser recommended that homeowners call the Police Department if a private party or group is unnecesarily disturbing them. Commissioner Grant pointed out JAAF does not pound their stakes until after 8:00 A.M., and that there are no organized activities scheduled except between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 10:15 P.M. In response to the homeowners' concerns that outside residents use the park, Nancy Beard explained that, although adult softball uses both fields, a point system is used so that priority is given to those who live or work in Newport Beach. In answer to Ms. Gulledge's concerns about her boys using the park after school, Ms. Beard agreed this is a communication problem with the field maintenance man which will be resolved by not preparing the fields until approximately 5:00 P.M. for the 6:00 P.M. games. Commissioner Grant reviewed the JAAF at home and away schedule which does require night games. Scheduling is done early in the year and they will make sure there is no double scheduling, which caused most of the problems recently. • In addition, Traffic Engineering is painting the curb red and barriers will be implemented by JAAF to reduce the parking problems. Karen Weigand advised that writing tickets doesn't resolve the -3- • parking problem; and that when the park was monitored 2 weeks ago, they noted that most people do not use available parking places that are a little distance away. Jim Tappan suggested the M.W.D. be contacted for additional parking on their land and that an entrance off University be considered to reduce the noise. Nanqy Beard advised a request has just been transmitted to the M.W.D. for use of their land for additional parking. Commissioner Grant pointed out parking should not be a problem if only one event is scheduled. He also commended JAAF for being sensitive to all the issues and that they have made a concerted effort towards cleaning up all trash. Maintenance staff cleans up after softball the following day. Addressing the issue of the entrance, Commissioner Grant suggested the homeowners meet with Rich Edmonston and the Committee will review the subject with staff. Discussion ensued concerning the noise issue and Messrs. Tappan and Rabun concluded the only solution is to move JAAF to another site. • Commissioner Grant pointed out there are no alternative fields and the City facilities are booked to the maximum and that whistles are necesary from a safety standpoint. Commissioner Grant summarized the Committee's suggested solutions to resolving the.homeowners' problems as follows: 1. Trash - Communicate again with the field users (softball, football, soccer, etc.) concerning litter control. 2. Parking - The curb is being painted red. There be further enforcement by the Police Department. There will be no double scheduling. The M.W.D. has been contacted for additional parking spaces on their land. 31. Traffic - The homeowners to discuss access on University with Rich Edmonston. 4. Noise - Limit the start times and number of games. Cheerleaders to move to the far end of the football field on Mondays. Mr. Rabun recommended adding trees, picnic benches, trails and possibly BBQ's to the park. Commissioner Grant acknowledged the Commission would be happy to address the idea of adding these amenities. • The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 P.M. • PETITION Tj: THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CONCERNING: NOISE AT BONITA CREEK PARK The undersigned believe that the noise generated from football games at Bonita Creek Park is excessive and unreasonable and must be stopped.

Box 1788 Newport Beach, California 92658 Dear Mr. Whitley: • The Board of Newport Mesa.Junior All American Football has directed me to inform you and the P.B. & R. Commission of the steps taken to alleviate noise and parking problems at .Bonita Creek Park. It is our wish to not only provide a well organized safe youth activity, but to be good neighbors with our fellow Newport Beach citizens. In reference to noise control: a) We have banned all noise makers, including air horns, shakers, P.A. Systems, bull horns etc. b) We worked with O.C.J.A.A.F. in scheduling so that no field activity would start before 8:30 A.M., and no games until 10:00 A.M. This year we have worked so that we only have two night games at 7:00 P.M. c) We reduced cheerleading practice down to one night and required that it end at 7:30 P.M. d) We constructed our own video stand eliminating the need for semi - trailer delivering scissor platform to the field. C r '�3 C� e) We have requested the C.I.F. officials to use non- abrasive whistles. (This is something we cannot control.) In reference to parking problems: ia) We have instructed all members of our organization as to of the tstreet kthat rruns parallel ntot South the football field. b) We have obtained barricades from the City and will towthevbikeelane onaSaturdaysotopdiscouragese next illegal parking. c) We have worked with Sgt. Mike McDonough Of the Newport Beach Police Department, informing visiting teams of the parking restrictions. . It is obvious that we have worked diligently to improve any problems that exist with our use of Bonita Creek.. Many of our players, coaches and cheerleaders live in the Newport North community. As a matter of fact our Cheer Co- ordinator owns a home in this development., We have been as sensitive as.possible to the residents and will continue working to improve the conditions at the park. The property owners all knew full well that a recreational park would be built at this site. It is almost hard to believe, in this day and age when every morning you pick up the newspaper to read about gang shootings and youth delinquency, that someone should be so short sighted about a quality youth activity. We believe that the City cares bout its youth. We hope to get your continued support /fok the boys and girls of our city. • '1 .

COMMISSION - RECREATION PROGRAM COMMITTEE BONITA CREEK PARK USAGE MEETING MINUTES Thursday, September 10, 1992 Approximately 75 people attended the meeting. Most of the audience was comprised of JAAF coaches, parents and participants. In atten- dance were approximately six or seven members of the various home- owners associations from the surrounding neighborhood. A board - member from one of the associations arrived late. The aforementioned boardmember stated that, although this subject was still an issue with his association, the board was not sure if they would like to formally address the Commission at this time. Homeowner comments: The homeowners contend that the park was paid for by the residents of the subdivision and the park does not serve their needs, as, in their opinion, is required by the city ordinance that applies to park development. The homeowners feel that the whistles used by JAAF, both during the week by the coaches, and on Saturdays by the referees, are too loud and are very intrusive. They feel that the noise created by the whistles is so loud that it is greatly disturbing, even if they have all of their doors and windows shut and the television turned on. It is the homeowners' opinion that the lights are too bright and are often left on after users depart from the park. The noise levels and parking problems created by the park's usage are a "general nuisance," as defined by a city ordinance, according to the homeowners. The homeowners contend that three of the four definitions apply to conditions at Bonita Creek. The homeowners feel that the aforementioned problems are due to the proximity of the activity areas and the residences. The homeowners stated the following opinions: 1. That the number of parking spaces is inadequate during large events and on JAAF game days. 2. Trash, including liquor bottles and cans, are routinely present at the park.

The park was heavily watered during the drought, and is still being watered during the middle of the day. 4. The sign placed at the park prior to construction did not state the exact nature of the park's future activities. 5. Softball players warm -up on the walkways before games, making it dangerous for residents to walk in the park during games. Homeowner suggestions /requests: The homeowners presented a memorandum that was addressed to the Newport North Villas Homeowners from their Board of Directors regarding the usage of the park. One of the sections of the memorandum contained a summation from a survey that was conducted recently. The following items are a partial list of the amenities that homeowners desire at the park. The numbers to the right represent the number of votes for each amenity. The number of total responses was 79. Passive sitting areas 42 Walking /jogging track 38 Picnic areas 37 Walking /stroller paths 34 Barbecue areas 33 Bicycle paths 23 "Par" exercise course 21 • Dog run 20 Youth activity center 16 The remainder of the amenities (eight) received less than ten votes each. Junior All- American Football: The football program wishes that it could be a silent neighbor, but this is impossible due to the nature of the activity. Whistles must be used for safety reasons, and fan noise is inevitable at any sporting event. The large crane that used to arrive at the park on Saturday mornings to allow for videotaping of the games is no longer used. Coaches are limited to one whistle per team during weekday practices. No noisemakers are allowed at any time. No sound systems are allowed at any time. Letters have gone out to all teams in the league regarding legal . parking at the park. Barricades were used last season to ensure that parents did not park illegally. These are being used again this year. �v E Corona del Mar High School fields are used in August in order to minimize the use of Bonita Creek. The season schedule is submitted to the city as soon as it is available so that no other formal use of the park occurs during Saturday games. A majority of the games, which take place on Saturdays, are played between 11:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Three people are employed to police the park of litter each Saturday after games are concluded. On an average game day, three games are played at Bonita Creek, while the rest of the Newport Beach teams are travelling to other cities to play. Recreation Program Committee: The Committee did not respond to the issues of how the park was funded or to the appropriateness of the sign that was posted prior to construction. The P.B. & R. Department has begun routine observations of the park at night in an attempt to make sure that lights are shut off once the users have left the park. Staff will investigate better signage of the illegal parking area in question. (The city, installed one additional "No Parking" sign at the area in question on Wednesday, 9/16/92). JAAF will place barricades at this location, as they did last year, in order to further alleviate this potential problem. The Commission will request that the parks division adheres to their litter collection schedule, and evaluates their watering schedule. The Commission will confirm with policy of no formal bookings on strictly adhered to. 0 the recreation division that the JAAF game days is still being 2907 Alta Vista brive Newport Beach, CA 92660 644 -6989 September 25, 1992 Ile �ECa�'u City Ball SR `la 1982 P.O.

As a mother, I especially appreciate the fact that my son and his friends have a place to go and expend their energy in a positive way rather than hanging out in the streets or the malls; whether playing Jr All American Football when he was younger or a pick -up game of basketball now. The importance of these youth programs in a child's life cannot be stressed enough, whether football, cheerleading,, baseball, or any sport. The friendships, self- esteem, hard work, fun, discipline, and focus that these programs provide are priceless to the children, their parents, and ultimately all the citizens of Newport Beach. Newport Beach already has a recreational space problem and the loss of Bonita Creek for such activities would not only be a blow to the families of Newport North, but to all the families of Newport Beach. Sandra Clark Newport North Resident V3 J. Turner July 21, 1992 • Mr. Kevin Murphy, City - Manager City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 RE: Bonita Creek Park Dear Mr. Murphy: Ever since we completed the Bonita Creek Park and dedicated it for use, it has been a source of irritation to the neighbors. they contend that the park is a neighborhood park, not a regional park and therefore they should have primary access to it. Quite the opposite has occurred and over the years our PB &R Department has scheduled Pop Warner Football League ga.*nes there -, soccer- games and various other activities to the exclusion and to the detriment of the people living up there. Some of the residents are confused about the meaning of our Municipal Code as it pertains to the dedication of park space and how we define a community park in the Recreation and Open Space Element. A Memorandum was written by the Deputy City Manager in late 1991 /earlier 1992 addressing this and other issues regarding this item. You may wish to consult with him and get a quick refresher on the facts. • 1I believe that the use of the park is consistent with some of our guidelines. However, I also believe that our guidelines may not be applicable in a fair and equitable manner in all situations throughout the City. Bonita park may be a case in point. I am requesting that Staff review our park use guidelines, compare those guidelines with the activities scheduled for Bonita Park and report the results back to the City Council at an upcoming Study Session. I am trying to determine if we are overstepping some reasonable bounds and, if we are, what we can do to rectify the situation? If memory serves me correctly, there are some 1,900 - - - - - homes -in-and arounzi th�ti area anct their needs should be- addressed— It is also my belief that we should use this data as we establish the criteria regarding utilization of the proposed park in the Castaways project. For your information, I enclose a copy of the latest Memorandum I A- received from the Homeowner's Association on this subject. /9^ Please contact me if you have any questions. ly, Mayor P Tem City of Newport Beach cc: R.

As you can see from the documents included in this report, the reason for the appeal is that the homeowner has had the sidewalk replaced twice in a relatively short time period. A visit to this site is encouraged to enable the Commission to make a decision on this matter. • August 20, 1992 • City of Newport Beach Parks., Beaches & Recreation Department P. 0. Box 1768, Newport Beach, Ca. 92659 -1768 Attn: Bob Bailey Street Tree Supervisor Gentlemen: t I hereby wish to appeal the Street Tree Committee's denial of my request to remove the tree that stands in the parking in front of my property located ?at 2245 Arbutus St., Newport Beach.'A copy of the denial letter is enclosed. A similar request to remove the tree was denied in April 1989. Lettev- enclosed. Then in May 1989 the walks that had been uprooted by this tree were repaired. Copy of notice enclosed. Now today I received another notice that these walks that were repaired 3 years ago are to be replaced again::: Don't take me wrong, the walks need to be repaired and I appreciate the city doing it, but to do it every 3 years without getting to the root of the problem (no pun intended) seems like gross mis- management of Taxpayers funds to me. Because of the size of the tree and its continued growth I predict that the new walks will need to be replaced in 2 years, and before then the water meter and main water line to our home will be ruptured by the tree roots and the gutter which is already cracked and ruptured will have to be replaced. I know that todays popular thinking is "save the trees" but at what cost to we taxpayers? The only prudent management decision and cost effective solution to this ongoing problem is REMOVE THE TREE!

The noise ordinance for the County of Orange sets limits on the level and the duratiotiiof time =a' stationary noise source may impact a residential area, The louder the noise level' becomes,. the shorter time it is allowed to ,occur. Table 1 lists the A- weighted noise level'and; the teal mum !'•, period of time that noise level may occur during the hour. This ordinance refers, to noise which occurs between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. TABLE 1.
