Whitley Staff Present: Nancy Beard, Recreation Super- intendent Jack Brooks, Park and Tree Main- tenance Superintendent Dottie Flohr, Secretary I. PROCEDURAL MATTERS Item #1 - Call to Order Call to Order The meeting of the Parks, Beaches and.Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:00 P.M. Item #2 - Roll Call Roll Call Roll call was taken. Commissioners Compton, Demmer, Grant, Herberts, Konwiser, Taft and Vandervort were present. Item #3 - Approval of Minutes - Meeting of October 3, 1989 Approval of Minutes Commissioner Herberts corrected Item #5, Review and Recom- mendation on View. Park - Hoag Memorial Hospital Master Plan, fourth paragraph, third sentence, to read... "20' in width and 1275' in length" ... The minutes of the October 3, 1989 meeting were then unanimously approved as corrected. Item #4 - Adoption of Agenda Adoption of Agenda The agenda was adopted as presented with the addition of Goals and Objectives. II. ACTION ITEMS Item #5 - View Park - Hoag Hospital Expansion View Park - Hoag Hospita Chair Taft addressed those in attendance and stated the Expansion Commission welcomes their participation. He read staff's recommendation on the view park which is to "Transmit, at the appropriate time, to the City Council a recommendation determining that the park requirement for the subject property be a linear park of approximately 20 feet in width with the remaining land requirement to be a small view park located at the western end of the linear park." Chair Taft then summarized the results of communications received from the homeowner associations, result of which all but one favored a 20' wide linear park with a small view park at the end. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 2 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Chair Taft reported there are three proposed. options: (1) A rectangular park; (2) A linear park and (3) A compromise consisting of a linear park and a small rectangular park, and requested no more than three persons summarize their position, after which any person who had not previously spoken or who had additional comments or rebuttal may also be heard. Mr. Michael Stephens, President of Hoag Memorial Presbyterial Hospital, addressed the Commission in favor of a rectangular park. He stated Hoag has supported a bicycle path and agree to deed a .8 acre view park on the site, however, they are opposed to a linear park because they say it would severely impact their Master Plan currently in progress. He also mentioned the lack of public access to a linear park and the effects of setbacks such as impacted views and increased traffic and density. Mr. Stephens stated the hospital has deferred action on major projects to allow the Master Plan to be processed. The .8 acre area is being considered independently and they cannot proceed "piece meal" without affecting the Master Plan. He recommended a .8 acre view park be de- veloped with consideration as to design and configuration within the context of the Master Plan. He also requested an opportunity to respond to presentations favoring the other options. Commissioner Herber,ts referred to Mr. Stephens' letter dated March 10, 1983 included in the agenda packet wherein he states Hoag's acknowledgement of a bike trail system and linear view park sites. She pointed out that the City's Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan states a view park and linear bluff top park are proposed on East and West Cal Trans property, therefore, Hoag should have been aware of the City's plan for proposed parks in this area. There being no one present to address the Commission in favor of a complete linear park concept, Chair Taft asked for a representative favoring the third alternative of a 20' wide linear park with an approximately 100' x 100' community park. . Mr. Mike Johnson, 5803 Seashore, addressed the Commission on behalf of the West Newport Beach Association. He questioned why Hoag has denied any knowledge that a linear i1 park was proposed since it is stated in the General Plan of the Recreation and Open Space Element. He then read CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX excerpts from the General Plan on linear parks, view parks, pedestrian trails, and the goal's and objectives of the Recreation and Open Space Element. He agreed Hoag Hospital is important to the community but it is also in a develop- ment phase. West Newport is known to be park deficient and the timing is right to consider important changes that will affect future generations. He referred to the Balboa Bay Club development where the view is now gone, never to be recovered. He also pointed out that the Cal Trans East and West property is on unstable land and high buildings should not be built here due to the possibility of an earthquake. Mr. Bill Jennings, 280 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission He reported the Villa Balboa Association unanimously supports the compromise plan. He presented slides of the area and reviewed the Recreation and Open Space Element as it pertains to parks to be developed in this area and the • objective of enhancing views. He said there are over 5,000 nearby residents and in the community at large who would use the parks /bicycle path and benefit from the spectacular view. Mr. Lars Hansen, 22 Encore Court, addressed the Commission. He reported the Newport Crest Homeowners Association voted unanimously to support the 20' wide linear park with an approximately 100' x 100' park at the end. He stated many Newport Crest residents have worked for years to link public views in West Newport which this compromise would help provide. Ms. Peg Morreale, 270 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission. She asked the Commission to approve the compromise since many people would enjoy the parks; it would also preserve the view for the public and tie in the bicycle trail system. Mr. Michael Stephens, President of Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission. He stated he felt this is an attempt to influence development; that they were not aware of this compromise plan; and it has taken place without Hoag's participation. He felt that stipulating width and configura tion usurps other government agencies and that this should be determined by the Planning Commission and the City • Council. Commissioner Grant questioned if Hoag was invited to home- owner association meetings and Commissioner Demmer asked if anyone had seen the Master Plan. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Mr. F.W. Evins, representing Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission. He reported they have been working with the Planning Commission and that their proposed Master Plan, which includes a consolidated park on the west end, is on the City's time table. He said they have met with the Villa Balboa Homeowners Association over the years, however, the Association would not discuss the park proposal until I tonight's meeting. Mr. Gil Martinez, Villa Balboa resident, addressed the Commission. He stated he has seen the Master Plan which has, in his opinion, inefficient park-areas which he has transmitted to the Planning Commission. Ms. Peg Morreale, 270 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission and stated the subject was discussed at this Commission's last meeting; therefore, she did not understand why Hoag purports they have not yet yeard of the proposal. • Mr. Bill Jennings, 280 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission He reported that in meeting with Mr. Evins of Hoag Hospital Mr. Evins stated they favored a compromise but did not feel it was appropriate to negotiate. Mr. Jennings had asked to be invited to review the Master Plan, but it has never been available. Chair Taft asked for a straw vote from those in attendance,, result of which was an outstanding majority favoring the compromise plan. Discussion by the Commission ensued and Commissioner Grant stated he felt the Commission should attempt to do what is best for the entire City. He stated the issue of views is important and referred to the Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan which is a guideline showing a i linear, park on Cal Trans West and a view park on Cal Trans East. Commissioner Grant then summarized the advantages of a proposed community park. He felt that a 20' strip park was inappropriate, especially since the public had already benefited by the existing 20' bike and pedestrian path. Motion x Commissioner Compton motioned to approve the 20' linear park with the remainder of the land going towards a rectangular . park. W CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Herberts reported that it was requested the Commission make a recommendation on this matter and it is important insofar as it is in the public trust to preserve parks, particularly such an irreplaceable and valuable view site. She supports the compromise plan. Commissioner Vandervort concurred, explaining that it is thi Commission's responsibility to make recommendations to Council and recreation and parks are this Commission's responsibility. Commissioner Konwiser stated that he-felt density /usage will remain low in this area and will not serve the entire City due to lack of public access. He reviewed the slope and dimensions of the area and said he felt the views will be the same regardless of which park is developed. Commissioner Demmer stated that, although Hoag will continue to grow and expand as it should, the General Plan should be • respected and she feels strongly that as areas expand, opportunities for beautification must be addressed. Chair Taft stated he felt participation should be encouraged and feels the community would best be served with a linear park and small rectangular park at the end. Motion x Commissioner Demmer amended the motion to include "at least Ayes x x 20' in width." Motion fails. Nays x K x x x Motion x Vote was called for on the original motion stating Ayes x x x x x approximately 20' in width with the remaining land require - Nays x x ment of approximately 100' x 100' to be a small view park located at the western end of the linear park. Motion passes. Mr. Mike Johnson, representing the West Newport Beach Association, addressed the Commission. He reported their Association had voted unanimously for the compromise ih= order to try to cover the needs of all the Associations. He announced their open meetings are the last Wednesday of each month. Since they have never had a request from Hoag to make a presentation, he asked them to do so in order to keep the citizens informed. • Item #6 - Park Bond Issue Park Bond Issue Commissioner Grant, Chair of the Parks and Open Space Acquisition Committee, reported the committee met with Director Whitley. They discussed scoreboards and signs and CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX staff will be drafting a sign policy. Capital projects were reviewed along with the Mouth of Big Canyon. Since there is no set City policy for the Mouth df Big Canyon, he would like to meet with Pat Temple of the Planning Department to work on what can and cannot be done to this area. Commissioner Herberts indicated she would like to attend the meeting, and it was suggested that Frank Robin- son, environmentalist, and other interested parties be invited to a subsequent meeting for their input. Chair Taft advised this will be a Discussion Item on the December agenda and an Action Item at the January meeting. Commissioner Grant then referred to the recommendation as submitted in the agenda packet and suggested it be amended to state that should the City Council desire to enhance the existing Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan, which this Commission endorses, they should consider • a bond issue. He then passed out a report prepared by Director Whitley as to cost analysis for a central park concept, such as the Castaways, and its impact on households which could result in�a $300 annual property tax increase for 20 years. Commissioner Herberts requested Item #2 under Discussion of the Park Bond Issue be better defined. Discussion ensued concerning Park Dedications and Commission r Konwiser explained this is identified in the General Plan. Developers are required to provide park dedication. Commissioner Vandervort stated the Castaways would be perfec for an active park which is desperately needed. Mariners Park is already too impacted. Motion' x Commissioner Grant then motioned to accept the Park Bond Ayes x x x x x x x Issue Report as written, with attachments, and with an amendment stating "Should the City Council desire to enhance the existing Park and Recreation Open Space Element General Plan, which this Commission endorses, they should consider a bond issue." He further amended Item #2 by deleting the phrase, "consistent with those found in Newport Beach" as recommended by Commissioner Herberts and modifying the Park Bond Issue Information Report to show an example of • a 10 acre parcel as recommended by Commissioner Vandervort. Unanimous. Motion Ayes • • Ix Ix x CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Ix Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 7 City Council Chambers 7 p.m - Determine Agenda for Joint Meeting with City Council Scheduled for November 27 at 2:00 P.I Chair Taft recommended each committee chair give a brief report on his /her respective committee with regard to what has been done and /or what they are working on.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, Calif. 92659 -1768 Att: Jack Brooks Re: Bayside Drive Tree Problem Dear Mr. Brooks: In response to your form letter denial dated October 10, 1989 to address the tree problem on Bayside Drive please find the enclosed signed petition sheet that reflects the overwhelming unity and support of the Promontory Bay Association members and residents of Bayside Drive to move ahead with the swift resolution to the sidewalk tree growth problem. As we have previously brought to your attention, the current trees planted in the front areas of most of the neighborhood • homes are causing walking hazards and damage to home structures. This is apparently a result of the root systems invading the concrete sidewalks and other areas. In addition to the unsightly nature of these trees, the associations' and city's liability for any personal injuries resulting from the broken concrete, unlevel surfaces and hard slippery balls which the trees drop are of great concern to us all. This signed petition reinforces the importance of providing for the immediate removal and appropriate replacement of trees that benefit all parties concerned. Please regard this letter and petition as the official request to appeal the Street Tree Committee's shortsighted initial decision. Thankyou for your anticipated attention to this matter. Sincerely yours, • Barbara Pannier 0 • PETITION i The undersigned hereby Petition the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department to remove the present trees in the sidewalk area fronting the houses between 727 and 601 on Bayside Drive and replace them with a more suitable type, - The present trees are causing mach movement and damage in the sidewalk' and driveway areas which could result in injuries and property damage and subsequent lawsuits against the city. -i i i i • DATED: October , 1989 �oZl �A�ysrmri �� 607 ` '• +iba`¢7A 8ib8b8jlSbtt 8L4•`fb �j <hhjvoV @` pyp¢ •� {lt;;jitt {7< , SE€ �i{ �£?f{ j E {{jt3�t ? € {'{fE: {; <ltffdt;;'t?i ��t {t,E•, ,' 0 n`; + „1,•aant`tfaut ,tsspp,r +<,,,; 'r; t” `uSE1 °ttty {P °! ?'fj�7i''P1q, �,7 {, {tJ•ft t4J,ttr:;+si,; Erag88; .ipt it {8. {t,l;�d`E;,;at ,hiftot,:,,.•., ,`• „t,it <t. t)„ E t,ct t< ,.�` :k i qt t,`,�;, •, t{ ifE jj4itEff tt „ <VE <. `gi<{ •E, iF,, ',2 `t;• o'• ,ct )t ;t, ^. t,i,t`•te{ F httatg,t{ £ tt ttt.•t , 8;. „E {{ER Et' ,E;t ,EF; ; {t,tt t €iF ,,3 {tt "•::f, ,yy ' t ti,i. rt <, ?,± js •:fEt, ',t , t { {;` " {R, f<,t,i { t . ,.t., t: t, ,tic, E, ,•i .j.,t' ittyi,k,t „!i `tit, E {•, � iEi .,t, `t {{ „l,, ,ii,, JL. ` t„ „E:, ,ta, .E�E^ � .E { {, ,t•, tiEt`t :7,t' ;E; { � , : �, � <t, . • t•; �i; PART: DEPT.

Also, you will find a copy of a letter from John Tahl previously written to General Services requesting repair of the sidewalk,in front of his house. After a thorough review of'these two (2) letters, the Board of Directors of Promontory Bay Community Association wish to assure you that both requests have the full support of the Association and anything you can do to correct these two hazardous conditions promptly will be appreciated.

Dear M:. Brooks: I, Mr. John Tand, and I, Mrs. Barbara Pannier, as the respective owners of 645 Bayside Drive and 639 Bayside drive, request that you remove as soon as possible the two trees 'that arc on either side of our .shared driveway. The roots of the trees are causing extensive damage to the sidewalk and creating a -very serious hazzard. Furthermore the trees drop hard round balls on the sidewalk that are causing • people to slip and fall in front of our homes. These are the same trees that have caused the city of Anaheim to be sued by many citizens. The city of Anaheim has subsequently removed thc3e trees from their parkways. We arc aware that the city of Newport Beach and specifically your dcpar•t:uent has already had many complaints regarding this hazzard. Furthermore we are also aware that the removal of these trees has already been requested two years in a row by General Services and that the funds are set aside and available. Dcsp2 to the fact that the city of Newport Beach has already set aside funds to address this problem, we are willing as concerned re5ide.,ts to pay :or the removal aijd r'oplacement of these trees ourselves if it will -expedite the matter. We will not, however, be liable for any accident or damage caused by these trees since the city of Newport Bcaeh' has been made well aware of the hazzard and is exercising unbelievable negligence in not correcting the problem itwuodrately. We would like to recommend that a clean, low maintenance tree with roots that ao•not spread out and cause damugc who n they hit salt water such as the palm tree be used to replace the exiting G� tYCCS. WI Plcasc note that the city of Beverly Hills 'has lined every other street with palms and that the Newport Beaches have been planted •L 0 with palms and everyone thinks it looks beautiful. Your iudgediate attention-to this matter will be appreciated.

I do not, however, want to go' to Q ; expense without first attending to the problem of the dangerously multi - leveled sidewalk in front of the house. I would be *glad to pay 1/2 of the expense of the repair if the city of Ncwport.Beaeh will attend to this matter. 'Please find enclosed copy of letter sent to Jack Brooks rerlaraing the cause of the zidewalk problem and note that the roots arc beginning to cause problems with my driveway also.

On Wednesday, November 22, 250 seniors dined on turkey and all the trimmings thanks to a cooperative effort between Oasis and the San Clemente Seniors meal program. 750 people received flu shots in preparation of the winter flu season at Oasis this month, and hundreds of people enjoyed the Oasis Second Annual Crafts Fair. SPECIAL INTEREST ACTIVITIES The fall program is coming to a close. Registration was very good. Next month's report will include a fall class evaluation for Commission review. Our fall tennis program is also just about complete. The weather has been very good to us; we only need-one week for make -ups. We have a Mr. Pee Wee Tennis Camp scheduled for the Christmas Holidays. The 3rd Annual Arts and Crafts Fair was held at Mariners Park this month. We had 91 vendors selling holiday craft items. Staff was very pleased as our foot traffic doubled from last year.

YOUTH ACTIVITIES /FACILITIES MAINTENANCE Two of our flag football teams made it to playoffs this season. We are hopeful that at least one of them will make it all the way to the finals. Our youth basketball program will begin this month with the new addition of a girls clinic. A local high school basketball coach will work with the girls as well as our recreation staff.

Winter Wonderland will be held December 16 at Grant Howald Park. Twelve tons of snow will provide the entertainment. FACILITIES MAINTENANCE We have recently gone to a 7 day maintenance schedule due to the high use of our restroom facilities on Sundays.
