To the Council,
I am a resident on Private Road and have been for the last five years. I recently read about the city's prospective plans
not to beautify, as intended, a certain section of Irvine Avenue, which is just a few hundred yards from my home. I am
troubled, disappointed and saddened by the fact that because this section of Irvine Avenue between Santiago and
Isabella is not considered an integral or important part of the city, that the council believes unsightly wood chips or
Hydro seed should be used to grade the median. All the while, the city spends unabashed on other portions of Newport
in an effort to beautify it, while ignoring this major gateway to much of Dover Shores and West Newport. lust time I
checked, I paid the same property tax, municipal fees, and other taxes to live in this great city regardless of whether I
lived on the East or West Side. Pardon the pun, but I'm fairly certain that my dollar is just as green as those who live
near Fashion Island or CDM. I am not the only resident in this area that is troubled by this recent development. Ignoring
this part of the city will not be without its consequences.
Respectfully,
A disappointed resident of Newport Beach/Private Road Ed Chang

Subject: Irvine Ave. center medians
It is requested that you please inform Councilman Scott Peotter (as well as others) that those of us
Living in "unimportant areas" that we certainly would not like having our visual areas covered in
"wood chips" 1 The center medians are seen by hundreds of citizens as they travel to and from this
area every day. Irvine Ave. is an entry point into the city and we feel that the appearance is very
important to all of us.
Please consider my comments in the discussion at tonight's council meeting.
