0 Monterey Pine Trees in Corona del Mar
The Monterey Pine tree ( Pinus radiata), a California native is part of the City's
Urban Forest. There are 235 of these pine trees located in parkways
throughout the City. Unfortunately, the Pitch Canker Fungus attacks this
species of tree causing pine needles to fade, wilt and fall from the effected tree.
This condition causes the trees to decline in health and eventually die. There is
no cure for Pitch Canker and the affected zone stretches from Mendocino
County in the northerly part of the State all the way south to the Mexican
border.
In July of 1997, and for the first time in history, the California State Board of
Forestry declared a zone of infestation for a tree disease. The declaration was
for Pine Pitch Canker infestation which has killed thousands of Monterey Pine
trees on California's coast and continues to spread.
Symptoms of Pitch Canker are apparent in the Monterey Pine parkway street
trees in Corona del Mar along the 100, 200, 300, and 400 blocks of Heliotrope
Avenue and the 2900 block of Seaview Avenue. These mature trees are
estimated to be about 70 years old, having been planted when the community
was first developed. Several of the trees in the 200 block of Heliotrope Avenue
have declined to the point where they have died or are rapidly dying. It is very
important that diseased trees be removed and that none of their parts i.e.
firewood be salvaged and kept on site. Trees which are not in advanced stages
can be treated with insecticide sprays. However, insecticide treatments are
not a substitute for health maintenance; the pines must be kept vigorous and
in a good state of health if they are to sustain disease attack and survive.
The Monterey Pines in Corona del Mar have low vigor due to their advanced
age, but other factors have contributed to their condition. The record heat of
summer 1997 may have accelerated the trees into advanced stress.
Historically, these trees were pruned to allow for maximum view preservation.
These pine trees in southern California are less than adequate in
manufacturing and storing energy, thus routine loss of foliage is particularly
detrimental. In most cases the extensive root mass developed by the
individual trees has been severely restricted in narrow four foot wide parkways.
This problem has caused roots to be severed when sidewalks were repaired
causing additional stress. The outlook for this specie of tree is not favorable
and a new designated replacement tree needs to be considered at the earliest
opportunity. Staff is preparing a list of recommended street trees- for the
Corona del Mar Homeowners Association to review.

exception of the Community Youth Center, which remains open until 6:30pm.
Classes /Instruction — January 5`h marked the beginning of most the Winter Session
Classes. Registration for the 'outdoor" classes is slow, attributed to the El Nino
backlash. 'There are nearly 1,800 people currently enrolled in Winter Session Classes
with over $50;000 in revenue collected to date.
New contracts are being mailed out to instructors for the remainder of the fiscal ,year.
The new contracts spell out responsibilities and insurance requirements more
thoroughly. The contracts were a collaboration between the City Attorney's office, Risk

the week of February 9 with opening days scheduled either February 28 or March 7.
Each of these organizations have shown a substantial growth in their registration. This,
in addition to the establishment of an off - season soccer program, has created an
incredibly complex scheduling, process.

teams registered in 13 different leagues. The game sites will be Bonita Creek #1 & #2,
Lincoln #1 and Grant Howald. The three season annual total for 1997/98 is 372 teams

TO: Parks, Beaches, and' Recreation Commission,
FROM: Celeste Jardine -Haug, Senior Services Manager
SUBJECT: Senior Services Monthly Activities Report
New Secretary at OASIS — Senior Services at OASIS has a new part-time secretary,
Shelly Mulcahy, who began January 20: In, the interim, staff at the senior Center had
been filling in as best possible. Shelly has many years of experience working for Park
Newport and shares many of the same participants as at OASIS.
Computer Friends Meeting — The OASIS computer - networking group met on January
14 to hear a speaker from Comp USA, providing information on the new programs
available. After the usual general session, the group broke into smaller special interest
groups, each as the Internet, genealogy, beginning computer, and investments online.
This activity, which meets the second Wednesday of each month, provides seniors the
opportunity to learn by interacting with their peers. Attendance totaled 125 people.
A special thanks to MIS Division staff, Paul Malkemus, Jonothon Cone and Dan Auger,
for helping Senior Services troubleshoot Internet access problems and other computer
issues.
Over 80's Party — On Wednesday, January 28, the OASIS celebrated the lives of those
people who have lived to be 80 or older. The entertainment for this event was Pacific
Symphony, which was provided be a Cultural Arts grant. This event has grown in the
past 10 years from about 30 people in attendance to over 100. This is encouraging to
see so many active people in their 80's and 90's showing off their years of experience.
Newsletter Revamping — We are in the process of revamping the newsletter. The goal
is to scale down the size, change the content to include only pertinent information on
the center, make it easier to read, and develop a more efficient system for desk top
publishing. Staff is hoping to complete this task by April.
New classes begin — Classes were on break for 2 weeks for the holidays. Two new
classes are being offered this month. Tai Chi /Chi Gong will begin with a new instructor,
Don Walker, and a sketching and drawing class with Kathy Burns. 'Both classes are
filled up and will add more creative opportunities for OASIS participants.
Dinner Theater Fund - raiser — The Fundraiser planned for February 7, 1998 is being
received with much enthusiasm. 160 tickets have already been purchased which is the
maximum capacity for this event. The play, I ought to be in Pictures will be performed
by a professional traveling theater group. The Irvine Company and the Crean's are the
major sponsors for the event.

CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENT AND OPEN SPACE AGREEMENT
CIOSA AGREEMENT
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO.6
Project Status Report
Review of the Development Agreement
between the City of Newport Beach and
The Irvine Company Involving the Proposed Circulation
Improvement and Open Space Agreement
I. Introduction
On September 14, 1992, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 92 -35 adopting
Development Agreement No. 6, through which the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine
Company entered into the Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement
( CIOSA), which involves twelve parcels owned by The Irvine Company within the City
of Newport Beach. Of the twelve, nine are within the coastal zone boundary. The nine
parcels are known as San Diego Creek South, San Diego Creek North,
Jamboree /MacArthur, Upper Castaways, Bay View Landing, Newporter North, Newport
Knoll, Newporter Resort and Corporate Plaza West. Seven of the nine parcels are
adjacent to Upper Newport Bay.
The CIOSA was authorized pursuant to Government Code Section 65867 and Chapter
15.45 of the Newport Beach Municipal Code. The agreement was recorded as Document .
No. 93- 0479122 of the Official Records of Orange County, California.
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65869, a development agreement is not
valid for a development project located in an area for which a local coastal program is
required to be prepared and certified unless the Commission approves such development
agreement by formal commission action. Since the Development Agreement involves
nine sites in the coastal 'zone, the City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company
submitted the development agreement to the California Coastal Commission for their
approval.
The Coastal Commission identified a number of issue areas which needed resolution
prior to approval. In an attempt to resolve these issues, The Irvine Company prepared an
addendum to the CIOSA development agreement in order to clarify the authorities of the
City and Coastal Commission and resolve the concerns of the Coastal Commission.
On May 24, 1993, the City Council adopted Ordinance 93 -8 amending the Development
Agreement and on June 10, 1993, the California Coastal Commission gave final approval
to the Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement ( CIOSA). The agreement
was then executed and recorded. In December of 1993, the City Council formed an ,ad
hoc committee to develop an implementation strategy for CIOSA. As a result of the
1 a (D
committee's suggestion, a CIOSA Implementation District was approved by the City
Council on April 25, 1994.
0
The first review of this Development Agreement occurred on October 28, 1996. At that
time, the City Council continued this item to its meeting of November 12, 1996, in order
to obtain additional information regarding the open space areas to be dedicated to the City
and clarification on the timing of those dedications. Staff s initial detailed review
indicated that there was not complete compliance by The Irvine Company, with the
agreement's open space dedication requirements.
On November 12, 1996, the City Council found that The Irvine Company was in
compliance with the terms of the Development Agreement, subject to the receipt of
additional dedication by November 19, 1996. Subsequently, The Irvine Company
provided a written formal offer of dedication for open space for three of the remaining
CIOSA sites as required. (See Table of Open Space Dedications attached at the end of
this report).
PI. Purpose
The City of Newport Beach and The Irvine Company negotiated a Development
Agreement pertaining to eleven parcels in the City. The agreement resulted in building
entitlements for The Irvine Company, in exchange for which the City of Newport Beach
will receive pre - payment of required "fair- share" road improvement fees, a commitment
to construct road improvements adjacent to the proposed projects, and an interest free
loan. These benefits total approximately 20 million dollars.
Further public benefit arising from the Development Agreement provides for more public
open space than what was currently required in the City's Land Use Element for the
subject parcels. The Land Use Element designates 67 acres of open space at the sites. As
a result of the amendment to Development Agreement No. 6 and the approval of the
Fletcher Jones auto dealership, the open space being dedicated decreased by 8.6 acres.
However, the Development Agreement still requires the preservation or dedication of
land for park and open space purposes to a greater extent, and more rapidly, than required
by the City's Park Dedication Ordinance or the Recreation and 'Open Space Element.
This represents at least 76.17 acres more land than would be required under the City's
General Plan, and Park Dedication Ordinance.
The Irvine Company entitlements provided by the development agreement are to be
effectuated through Planned Community District Regulations (PC Texts). The PC texts
are incorporated into Development Agreement No. '6. A separate PC text has been
developed for nine of the subject sites. The PC texts include the amount, location and
intensity of use allowed at the respective sites.
Pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 15.45 of the Municipal Code, the applicant or his
• successor(s) in interest are required to submit an annual report for review by the City
2 Al
Council demonstrating compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Staff requested a
. report and received information relative to the open space dedications only.
t
This review period is from November, 1996, to November, 1997.

Newport Village - General Plan Amendment No. 97 -3 was initiated by the City Council
on October 27, 1997 to amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan to redesignate
the site at the southeast corner of San Miguel Road and Avocado Avenue (north of the
Newport Beach • Central Library) from "Administrative, Professional and Financial
Commercial" to "Multi- Family Residential, " and establish a development allocation of
310 dwelling units. This request is made to establish a site appropriate for the
construction of an affordable senior citizen housing project which would satisfy the
affordable housing requirements of The Irvine Company (CIOSA obligation) and the
Ford Motor Land Development Company. The City is in discussion with The Irvine
Company and Irvine Apartment Communities regarding disposition of the City's open
space site for this use, and the specifics of the development proposal.

To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Change of Designated Street Tree
Recommendation
To change the designated City parkway street tree on Antiqua Way from the
Lemon Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora) to the Hong Kong Orchid Tree (Bauhinia
blakeana).
Discussion
At the November 4, 1997 meeting of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission staff was directed to coordinate the replanting of 16 potential
replacement street trees located on the 1600 and 1700 blocks of Antigua Lane
with the assistance of Mr. Robert E. Anderson of 1737 Antigua Lane. The
directive by the Commission was intended to replace the three unauthorized
City Eucalyptus tree removals by Mr. Anderson located adjacent to his
residence.
The Attachment A letter was sent to Mr. Anderson outlining his
responsibilities as requested by the Commission. The Attachment B letter is a
sample of the letters that were sent to the 12 property owners offering that a.
24" boxed Hong Kong Orchid Tree be planted in the City parkway at no
expense to the residents. As a result of Mr. Anderson's and staff efforts, four
property owners have decided to accept seven new street trees. Additionally,
two trees would be planted at Mr. Anderson's residence bringing the total to
nine boxed trees to be planted at a cost of $1,755, which includes root barriers.
The cost of all the tree plantings will be at Mr. Anderson's expense. Mr.
Anderson also donated the four Liquidamber trees that were planted by him in
the City parkway. Staff relocated the trees to Irvine Terrace 'Park.
The change of designated street tree for Antigua Way will finalize the
conditions set forth by the Commission. Mr. Anderson has been very
cooperative in this reforestation effort. If the Commission approves staff's
recommendation the nine new trees will be planted within thirty days.

February 3,1998'
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Tree Removal Appeal
Recommendation
To deny the removal request of two City parkway Blue 'Gum trees (Eucalyptus
globulus) located at 621 Narcissus Avenue, on the Fourth Avenue side of the
property.
Discussion
Mr. James M. Trush of 621 Narcissus Avenue requested the removal of two City
parkway street trees per his letter dated June 26, 1997. (Attachment A)
• The Urban Forester and Park and Trees Maintenance Superintendent reviewed
the request on site per the Tree Inspection Report (Attachment B) and found the
trees to be healthy specimens with no significant damage to warrant any tree
removals. Subsequently, the Urban Forester sent a letter dated July 21, 1997
(Attachment C) denying the tree removals. Additionally, the letter stated Mr.
Trash's recourse for appealing the matter to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission.
On Monday, December 22, 1997 the Urban Forester and the Park and Trees
Maintenance Superintendent were on Fourth Avenue reviewing a fallen tree which
resulted from a severe wind storm, and' assessing another tree that was partially
uprooted and severely leaning. Mr. Trush approached the Urban Forester at this
location and requested immediate removal of the two City street trees adjacent to
his residence, the same removals that were previously denied, indicating that he
perceived an immediate threat of the trees falling onto his home. The 'Urban
Forester responded by inspecting these two trees and informing Mr. Trush that
there was no immediate danger of the trees falling. The Park and Trees
Maintenance Superintendent concurred with this assessment.
Mr. Trush responded with the attached letter dated December 23, 1997
(Attachment D) requesting to appeal the denied removal request of the two trees.
Mr. Trush was informed per a letter dated December 30, 1997 (Attachment E)
• that his appeal would be forwarded to the Commission.
Mr. Trush has received a copy of this report and a notice of the February 3
Commission meeting.

Re: Tree and Root Liability Issues At Fourth and Narcissus, Corona Del Mar
Dear Mr. Niederhaus:
I am the owner of the property located at 621 and 621 .1/2 Narcissus Avenue, Corona Del Mar,
California, which is located at the.corner of Fourth Street and Narcissus Avenue. This letter is
sent regarding the two City of Newport Beach eucalyptus trees located on or adjacent to the
Fourth Street side of our property.
' The two city owned eucalyptus trees on the Fourth Street side of our property have created a
number of problems over the last several years, many of which expose the City of Newport
Beach to liability. The problems we have experienced with the City eucalyptus trees include the
following:
(1)' Root intrusion into the sewer lines and sewer lateral. The root intrusion necessitated the
replacement of the lateral at the alley. My recollection is that the sewer lateral at the
alley was replaced during 1996. Since the sewer lateral has been replaced, we have
continued t6 experience repeated and frequent root blockages of our sewer lines. The root
blockages have caused repeated and frequent overflow of toilets in our home. The
frequent overflow of toilets has resulted in damage to our wood floors in addition to the
expense incurred to pay plumbers to clear the roots from the lines.
(2) The eucalyptus tree located closest to Narcissus Avenue appears to have caused damage
to the slab of our home which during a heavy rain resulted in flooding of our living room,
which in turn required the replacement of the wood floor in our living room.
(3) The eucalyptus tree closest to Narcissus Avenue is pushing out the curb into the street and
creating a sharp protruding piece of concrete curb into the public street, which in my, view
exposes the City to liability for property, damage or personal injury which may result.
The curb being pushed into the public street also exists with respect to the tree furthest
• from Narcissus Avenue but is not quite as severe.
David Niederhaus
City of Newport Beach
June 26, 1997
Page 2
(4) I have been informed by a general contractor that the eucalyptus tree growing closest to
Narcissus Avenue has a twisted trunk which is an indication that the tree is weakened and
susceptible to being blown over during a windstorm. As you know, Southern California
experiences yearly windstorms during the "Santa Ana winds" season. By this letter, the
City of Newport Beach is on notice that the eucalyptus tree at the comer of Fourth and
Narcissus is susceptible to being blown over in a windstorm. This condition exposes the
City to liability for any property damage or personal injury as a result of the tree being
uprooted or blown over.
I request that the City review the issues set forth in this letter and advise me in writing as to their
findings. It appears to me that due to the property damage caused by the trees and the liability
issues that the appropriate action would be removal of the trees.
If for any reason the City is unwilling to remove the trees, I may at that time be forced to retain
an arborist, plumbing contractors, and real estates appraisers, to further substantiate the problems
listed above and the resulting damages. At this time, I have incurred damages as a result of the
City owned eucalyptus trees, including but not limited to, diminution in value of our property as
a result of the roots intruding into the slab and sewer lines, out -of- pocket costs for plumbers, out -
of- pocket expenses for replacement of the wood floor in our living room, and in the future out -
1 • of- pocket expense in the replacement of the wood floor in one of our bathrooms which has been
damaged as a result of the frequent overflowing of the toilet.
If the City promptly removes the problem trees and repairs the curbs, I may be willing to release
the City from these damages claims.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration with respect to these matters. If you have
questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Re: 621 Narcissus Avenue
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated December 23, 1997
regarding the City Eucalyptus parkway street trees located on Fourth Avenue
adjacent to your residence at 621 Narcissus Avenue.
The two City trees that you requested to be removed per your attached letter
dated June 26, 1997, were inspected by John Conway, Urban Forester. He did
not feel that the trees warranted removal since the sewer mainline is located
in the alley and not near the two City trees. The Park and Tree Superintendent
• also concurred with his recommendation. Mr. Conway denied your request per
the attached letter which also stated that if you want to pursue the matter
you may appeal the decision to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation
Commission.
The Urban Forester again inspected the trees on Monday, December 22, 1997
And he 'feels that the trees do not display any signs of being a immediate
hazard requiring removal. Mr. Conway will be inspecting all the City street
trees this week located on 4th Avenue for any potential hazards.
Your appeal to remove the trees will be ,placed on the February 3 Park,
Beaches, and Recreation Commission agenda. A notice of the meeting and a
copy of the staff report will be forwarded to you.
Please contact me at 644 -3055 if you have any questions.

Recommendation
Agenda Item No. V
February 3, 1998
To direct staff to submit a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for Fiscal Year
1998— 1999 for lighting of the Buffalo Hills Park,
Discussion
Staff received the attached correspondence from Ms. Jill Carson, Property
Manager of the Newport Hills Community Association requesting security
lighting at Buffalo Hills Park. The letter states that the Park is dark and
represents a hazard to the public.
Staff assessed the request and discussed the matter with Public Works
Department staff. The consensus is that the lighting of City Parks has a low
priority in relation to the overall replacement of street lighting. The
submission of a CIP project will allow the Park lighting issue to be assessed
against available funding for Fiscal Year 1998 - 1999.
Ms. Jill Carson will receive a copy of this report and a notice of the February 3
Commission meeting.

Therefore, the Board of Directors would like to request that the City of Newport Beach

Dear Steve,

After reviewing the,proposed field renovation at Lincoln School, please be advised the
following must be taken under consideration first:
• Adequate notice should be given to the public (neighboring apartments, condos) so
everybody is aware of this project
• Any. lighting must be designed to concentrate only on the field. Lighting is always a
sensitive issue with our neighbors. The hours of operation must.be identified.
• A permanent scoreboard should not be installed in an open field and must not be
higher than seven feet Any structure higher than seven feet must receive DSA
(Division of the State Architect) approval before installation.
• Due to the lack of playing fields in our cities, all of our fields are multi-use to
accommodate different sports. Any permanent concrete slab or any other permanent
rigid material preventing multi-use of the field must be omitted from the project.
Any storage container or building should be located in a confined area in line with the
dugouts. Again, I like to,putemphasis on the importance of a public hearing and
awareness of this project
