ning Advisory Committee.
Chairman Winburn requested that the Commission review
those parts of the report which pertain to Parks and
Recreation as a first priority, due to the length of the
report.
The proposed plan for Balboa Peninsula Point is to add
rest room facilities and a possible bicycle path in the
area.
Interested citizens of the area who spoke their views
were Messrs. Dale, Mitchell, Sims and Atkinson. All were
unanimous in their firm belief that the addition of these
facilities would bring additional litter, vandalism, over-
crowding of an already congested area, etc. They further
believed the beach area should be free from concrete for
bicycle paths and noted that there are already adequate
bicycling facilities in this area.
Chairman Winburn noted that the Commission has already
established a sub - committee to look into right -of -ways
for skaters; pedestrians and, bicycles in-this area.
Following further discussion, Commissioner Ammerman moved
that the Commission reject the recommendation that the
side walk in the Balboa Peninsula area be extended.
Motion carried.
Commissioner Green moved that the Commission turn down
the recommendation for a restroom in that area. (Balboa)
Motion carried.
Lido Isle -- Thi.rteen lots shown as residential lots and
zoned R -1' are being considered for a possible change to
"Open Space" designation. The original lease was executed
in the 1920.'s and in 1976 this situation was renegotiated.
They then put new conditions on some of the leases, re-
quiring 4 foot access for the public at six different
locations on the island. Also there is consideration of
removing the signs that indicate the beaches are private
and replacing them with new signs that indicate they are
public beaches.
Lido Isle Citizen and member of the Community Association,
Judy Franco, spoke to the Commission about her concern of
protection of private property and the general feeling of
the island residents about the proposed changes. Bunny
Pliant stated that the people who come to the beaches from
other areas do not take care of them 1 -ike the residents do

The Commission discussed this matter with the interested
residents and among themselves.
A motion followed, made by Douglas Ammerman that the
Commission accept-the recommendation of the LCP with
respect to posting signs indicating the beach areas
are public.
Motion carried.
It is proposed in the LCP plan that a restroom be estab-
lished in the P.E. Right -of -'Way and that additional
sidewalk - bikepath be added.
Margo Skilling spoke as a private citizen of this area
and felt there would be no benefit to anyone by adding
more sidewalk in this narrow strip•of beachland; however,
she did feel that a restroom in the area between 57th and
35th streets would be a good thing.
This matter was discussed at length by Commission members
and Commissioner Green moved that the LCP suggestion for
a restroom in the highway right -of -way westerly of Orange
Avenue be accepted, but the extension of a sidewalk be
rejected.
Motion carried.
Commissioner Ross proposed that the remainder of the LCP
draft be considered' as- a whole. Cbm0ssi:ondn',Starr.0o1e
moved that the Commission refer the remainder of the report
together with updated materials from the Planning Depart-
ment to a sub - committee and that a recommendation be for-
warded to the 'Planning Department before the public hearing
on June 28th. Further, that al.l Parks, Beaches and Recre-
tion Commissioners be informed of the sub - committees find-
ings and given the opportunity to respond before final
recommendations are forwarded to the Planning Department.

Recreation Superintendent Royleen White informed the
Commission that summer registration appears to be higher
than last year at'this point; programs are becoming much
more sophisticated as we respond to the demand of the
community. We are also cutting out classes that are not
popular. The program continues to be self- supporting.
Contracted teachers receive 70% and the City 30% of the
fees paid for recreation classes.
V. SPECIAL ITEMS:

RE: Aqua Wind International Ltd.
Dear Ms. George:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of July 15, 1978, I am
submitting this letter to you outlining the proposed operation of
our company in your city.
This is a request for authorization from the City Council to
obtain a special use permit from the City and it would be greatly
appreciated if this matter could be placed on the Council agenda
for July 28, 1980.
Our company manufactures sail boards which are in essence an
exaggerated surf board with a sail attached.
We wish to obtain a rental concession at the end of 18th Street
on the Bay.
A truck and trailer would arrive 'at the sight at 7:30 am. to
unload (approximately 30 minutes) and leave for the day leaving
approximately 25 sail boards and two employees, one of whom would
handle the rental and the other would be an instructor in the use
of the sail boards for the concession's patrons. At the end of the
day at about 7:30 pm., the truck and trailer would return, load
up the boards and leave.
It is contemplated that the concession would be run seven days1fa�'
a week during the hours indicated.
I understand that a company known as Wind Surfing International
is currently running a similar operation giving lessons in the use
of sail boards in the Newport Beach area approximately three times
a week. I have attempted to discover the various requirements of „
the City pertaining to Wind Surfing International's operation, but
I have been unable to discover from what office of the City they
obtained their permission. Date • - 1 `
I would appreciate y COPIES SENs T a

my request. MamAer

DATE: July 25, 1980
TO: ROBERT L. WYNN, CITY MANAGER
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: CITY'COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM H -3 (h) 7 -28 -80
Realizing that the•above item is on the consent calender to be
referred to staff, I still thought it would be helpful to pro-
vide information prior to the meeting. '
1. The 18th Street location requested of the Aqua Wind
International firm for possible concession right of
rental sailboards would cause a problem. As you
know, this area was recently designated, by the City
-Council as a small boat launching site. The Marine
Department is evaluating the compatibility of the
procedure with regard to parking problems, swimmers,
traffic etc. It is my understanding that there have
been a few problems and quite naturally the 18th
Street location is-now heavily used. In my opinion,
• to add another use element to the area would cause
problems.
2. The reference to Wind Surfing International in the
Aqua Wind International communication should be pur-
sued. Mr. Bruce Matlack of Wind Surfing International
leases from the Dunes, Inc. and has a City business
license to provide instruction and rental of sailboards.
He has in the past criticized our City program of Wind -
sailboarding as we use the lower bay which is unsafe,
in his opinion, due to the heavy congestion of boats,
swimmers etc.
If there are any further questions from our standpoint, please feel
free to•give me a call.

TRAFFIC MEDIAN REPORT
Long a problem with regard to maintenance, appearance and
undeveloped area prioritization, an analysis of our street
medians has been done. Presented in this report are comments
on existing traffic islands, identification of unimproved
medians and finally, recommendations on median development
that would be low in maintenance requirements. These comments
we presented in the following attached Sections:
Section I - Existing Traffic Medians
Section II - Unimproved Traffic Median Locations
Section III - -Low Maintenance Traffic Medians
As you can see from a review of these attachments, we have many
medians that have not been developed to this date. Even though
an attempt should be made to develop in a low cost maintenance
manner, future development will require additional manpower to
maintain.
If desired, I could provide estimates of the construction cost
and maintenance costs for the undeveloped areas. In addition,
while gathering fiscal data, a cost for improving existing
medians could be determined. And, while this report is lengthy,
a lot has been left out .... the problems of appearance, cost to
maintain,. water runoff, etc., are endless. Therefore, if specific
data is needed, we would be happy to provide.

SECTION III
LOW MAINTENANCE TRAFFIC MEDIANS
B. Depending on size of traffic island and how many pockets of
plantings should be placed in island; the median should
consist of low maintenance plant material as listed below:
1. TREES - Should be small with little pruning requirements,
such as Japanese Black Pine, windmill palms, Mediterranean
fan palm. San Miguel traffic island should be planted with
liquid ambers to match existing traffic islands. This is
a larger tree but requires little pruning; planting area
should be as wide as possible with deep root barrier used
as roots are aggressive.
9
2. SHRUBS - Low maintenance shrubs should be used. Selection
• would depend on area in .which they would have to grow.
0
Examples of type are low growing junipers, Pittosporum
Tobira "Wheeler's Dwarf ", Raphiolapis "Ballerina "'. Raphio-
lapis "Clara ", Nandina domestic compact.
3. Some herbaceous plants could be used, such as, Agapanthas
"Peter Pan ", Moraea Lily,. Bacaris Pilularis, Statice.
C. Use of large rocks would not be recommended because of possible
problems with traffic accidents; however, small boulders would
complement the plantings.
D. Soil in planting areas should be removed to a depth of 24" and
replaced with a good planter mix. Area around planters - should
be elevated some to give raised planter effect with soil in
• planter 3" or 4" lower than highest point of hard surfaces.
E. Irrigation system should be automatic, using finger sprays or
bubbler -type heads to keep water off the streets.
