ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 9:04 P.M. Dottie Floh'r, Secretary • Item No. 5 August 26, 1983 • TO: DIRECTOR, PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT FROM: Public Works Department SUBJECT: BALBOA BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT The City Council recently authorized the preparation of an EIR to evaluate widening Balboa Boulevard between 33rd and 44th Street. The primary purpose.of the widening project is to improve safety and reduce accidents by increasing, the sight distance and eliminating the existing roadway obstructions. Overall improvements contemplated include wider park -. ways, elimination of center divider parking, and the installation of median landscaping in the middle of the block. The proposed roadway improvement will' widen the street on the inland side by 25 feet. Implementation of this project will require the acquisition of six more parcels and the use of a 25 -foot strip of-the 38th Street Park. The project is to be-constructed,using City ,Gas Tax Funds and the County Arterial Highway Financing Program (AHFP). In order to apply for AHFP funding,.it is necessary that the EIR be completed and certified by the City Council by the end of this year. • It is recommended'that the subject project be placed on the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission agenda•for September 6, 1983, as an informa- tional item. City staff and/or our consultant can make a presentation ,re- garding the widening and its effect on the park. It is also hoped that the Commission can provide staff with some input or a preliminary recommendation regarding the park for inclusion in the Draft EIR. A Draft EIR is expected to be completed by the October meeting and formal action by the Commission can be taken at that time.. • The 38th Street Park is a portion of a site that was originally shown on the 1905 River Section Tract Map as "Bathing Pool ". No mention of public dedication for the "Bathing Pool" was made on this map. The tract was developed by the Orange County Improvement Association. In December of 1929 this association sold "That certain parcel marked ''Bathing Pool' on the map of River Section" to the City of Newport Beach. 'Attached is a copy of a por- tion of a 19.16 map which shows the "Bathing Pool ". The City owns the "Bathing Pool" parcel in fee, with•no restrictions on its use. The attached sketch also shows the portions of the bathing pool par- cel that are currently being used for Balboa Boulevard and Park Lane (collec- tively 45 feet). The 38th Street Park now uses the remaining 105 feet of the original parcel. The proposed widening of Balboa Boulevard will reduce the park width to 80 feet. It is felt that the existing uses in the park can be accommodated after Balboa Boulevard is widened. A new restroom will be August 26, 1983 • Subject: Balboa Boulevard Improvement Page 2 • FJ U constructed since the existing structure is not suitable to be relocated. The other facilities can be relocated. It is anticipated that replacement trees and shrubs can- also be planted.to take,the place of those that are removed. I hope that'we can, through this project, not only improve the appearance of the Park, but also improve its facilities and make it a better place to go. If you need additional information, please call me.

This arrangement was unsatisfactory as a number of problems occurred that caused the staff to determine that the program would not be pursued on this basis in the future. Some of these problems were caused by overcrowding of the area at West Newport Park during a busy season and the fact that there was a bathing suit competition connected w -ith the event. In 1982 Mr. Padilla was told that the tournament would have to be conducted as a special event coordinated through the License Division of oUr Finance Department. Although the event obtained no approval from the License Division, it was held illegally. The same problems occurred in 1982. The promoters of the event have appeared before the City Council and the . matter has been referred to the Commission for recommendation. r1 U 90j, Staff is reluctant to be involved with a small program that allows our Department to be criticized as a result of our co-sponsorship,. If a non -peak time and controls and conditions can be established, the activity would be most welcome. - t8 3M ' *L psts� ttw ms's - vor _ IAW IL hAa -ko0 _s�9ii1 � *:ate.... `ice �e y�' &�A�..._ t �" w � f3 _ . - � 1� ,1� Ar�?i�, �rh� 5�0►�►� wo s i u �o►?m p -iM - t C could pzr' Tam. o�svr ay. - 1�9K.r�.- E� `i�^�., fi+rsi� y>•w4J', � lyv c��c,1f„� �p h,9�rc.. �S- �a�r�v�.o� F .mss s Ej-- N%- bA," Tw ej-a, .

We feel that this racquetball tournament promotes the full use of the facility and stimulate the youth of the community in many positive ways, we see more area resi- dents using the courts as a direct result of the tournament. We also feel that the rental fees imposed on this community oriented project, by the City Council, are excessive. We would like to see them lifted or at least made cost permitting. Everyone profits from an event such as this, from the local merchant to the juvenile under peer pressure. Please address this issue in your next City Council meeting.

This Department has a number of policies known as the I Series which are closely related to the responsibilities • of our operation. Historically, and by policy, the City'Council reviews these policies annually in October. To prepare for this review, the policies are being provided for our initial review. Staff will go through each policy verbally at our meeting to assess their purpose and effectiveness. 'r-4 --- Rona d A.

Item No. 8 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • PARKS, BEACHES & RECREATION DEPARTMENT u 0 11 DATE: September 6, 1983 TO: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Director SUBJECT: Commission Recognition Program The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission approximately two years ago established a program whereby individuals and groups that have provided extraordinary service or support to the objectives of the Commission could be recognized. Not to be taken lightly, outstanding recognition has been identified in the past. Staff would like to recommend that four individuals be approved for presentation at the October meeting of the Commission. 1. Brian Jeannette 2. Bonnie Jeannette 3. Gail 'Demmer For their active involvement in refurbishing the Riverside Drive Scout House. Go by and take a look at the builing. It looks great! 4. Marilyn Cyprien Has served as an office volunteer the entire summer and has done an outstanding job with no fiscal remuneration. There may be others that the Commission would like to consider. Please feel free to recommend or suggest others. (.� r CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks,.Beaches &•Recreation Department • DATE: September 6,.-1983 TO: Robert L. Wynn, City Manager FROM: • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Marinapark Study - Additional Information Request After the'initial review of the Marinapark•Study- Alternate Uses by the City Council at their Study Session of June 27, T983, a number of questions and additional information was requested for further deliberation on the concept as proposed in the report. Listed below are answers as determined by the committee and /or other City Departments. An alternate concept that signi- ficantly reduces the impact of.vacating'the entire mobile home park is provided for your review. By eliminating 5 trailer • spaces, some of the proposed recreational and community uses can be accommodated. I will verbally and graphically show you this plan at your convenience. I. On Page 7 of the Study we referred to a November ballot measure on coastal legislation. This was wording that was taken from the 1972 " Marinapark Planning Study -A Unique Opportunity for Public Shoreline." It referred to the legislation that created the Coastal Commission. We unfortunately used the historical information in the new report and • failed to catch this inconsistency. To further answer the question, there is no new initiative concerning coastal issues and the report has been corrected to eliminate this statement. A concession operation is discussed= Page 13 and further narrative is �rovided to clarify this concept. 'A Community Multi- purpose Building of -6,000 s.f., as indicated on Page 14 of proposed development costs, would include on the ground floor a small ±500 s.f. concession operation similar to what is found at the Corona del Mar City /State Beach. Not envisioned to be a restaurant, but an operation that provides hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks, beach supplies, etc. This recommendation combines Community Center, public restrooms and concession building into one area for cost efficiency. 3. The information regarding traffic generation has been supplied in a mgmo from the Planning Department (attached). 4. A larger photo map has been mounted to show existing conditions for review purposes. In addition, an alternate concept is shown on an overlay. 5. The question of responsibility of relocating existing tenants was reviewed by the committee as indicated by the Planning Department dated April 4, 1983 (attached). Although discussed by the committee, they chose to not include the information in their report as it was felt that the decision and /or action was beyond the scope of the study. In summary, with a notification • to tenants, of a maximum one year, prior to conversion of the mobile home park there are no relocation cost requirements. 6. As determined by our Environmental Coordinator, Fred Talarico, the implementation of the recommended proposal' would require an Environmental • Impact Report (EIR) and the estimated cost of this report would be $8,000 to $12,000. The study committee has indicated a desire to transmit the original recommendations, to the City Council as soon as possible. •If I can be of help to accommodate this request, please call. Attachments. • U 0 U CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING DEPARTMENT August 30, 1983 TO: Ron Whitley, Parks, Beaches & Recreation Director FROM: Sandra L. Genis, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Marinapark When we last discussed the potential Marinapark redevelopment, you requested that we obtain some additional information for you. This is summarized as follows: Environmental Documentation Fred Talarico, Environmental Coordinator, has indicated that an environmental impact report (EIR) would be required for the plan earlier proposed to the • City Council. The estimated cost of the EIR would be $8,000 to $12,000. Traffic Based on traffic generation rates for similar uses, provided by Traffic Engineering, the proposed plan would result in the generation of approximately 1174 average daily trips ends (ADTE) on a weekday and 2120 average daily trip ends on a Saturday, increases over existing levels of 170 ADTEs and 700 ADTEs, respectively. SANDRA L. GENIS ]g • J CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH PLANNING DEPARTMENT DATE: April 4, 1983 TO: Ron Whitley FROM: Sandy Genis?� Y SUBJECT: Conversion of Marinapark State statutes for conversion of mobilehome parks exist in the Civil Code, primarily addressing tenant /landlord relations, and in the Government Code, primarily addressing the responsibilities of the governing body to ensure that certain actions are taken. In this case, the City fulfills both the role of the landlord and that of the governing body. It must therefore meet the responsibilities of both. Under Section 798.56 of the Civil Code a mobilehome park owner must provide homeowners in the park with a notice of change of use as follows: • 1. The management gives the homeowners at least 15 days written notice that the management will be appearing before a local governmental board, commission or body to request permits for a change of use of the mobilehome park. 2. After all required permits requesting a change of use have been approved by the local 'governmental board, commission, or body, the management shall give the homeowners six months or more written notice of termination of tenancy. If the change of use requires no local governmental permits, then notice shall be given 12 months or more prior to the managements determination that a change of use will occur.. The management in the notice shall disclose and describe in detail the nature of the change of use. 3. The management gives each proposed homeowner written notice thereof prior to the inception of his tenancy that the management is requesting a change of use before local governmental bodies or • that a change of use request has been granted. R.Whitley '"' 4/4/83 Page 2. Although the City will not need a permit for a change of use, it would be desirable to notice all homeowners before any public hearings regarding park conversion. Under Section 65863.7 of the Government Code, prior to, converting a mobilehome parking to another use, the'project proponent must file a report describing the impact conversion will have on the residents of the park. The report is to address the availability of adequate replacement space in mobilehome parks. In addition, as stated in the statute: The person proposing such change in use shall make a copy of the report available to each resident of the mobilehome park at least 15 days prior to the hearing on the impact report by the advisory agency, or if there is no advisory agency, by the legislative body. The legislative body, or its delegated advisory agency, shall review such report, prior to any• change of use, and may require, as a condition of such change, the person or entity to take steps to mitigate any adverse impact of the conversion on the ability of displaced mobilehome park residents to find adequate space in a mobilehome park. . Thus, the City must prepare a "resident impact report ", circulate the report to the park residents, and consider the report in reading its ultimate decision regarding conversion. Additional requirements pertain if the conversion involves the filing of a tentative or parcel map. However, because the proposed conversion of Marinapark would entail no subdivisions, these conditions are not a factor. Section 65590 of the Government Code regulates the removal of housing units in the Coastal Zone. Marinapark is in the Coastal Zone, but, because the proposed use is considered coastal dependent, portions of the,Section regarding replacement housing would not apply. • • Item No. 11 PARK AND STREET TREE DIVISION, AUGUST, 1983 PROGRESS REPORT Our Park Crews performed the following tasks during the month of August: Trimmed shrubs and .trees on bike trail on West Pacific Coast Highway. Replaced bol'lards and chain at end of River Street and West Newport Park. Removed and trimmed shrubs on East Pacific Coast Highway. Removed cut brush from Spyglass Hills Nature Park. Poured concrete pad for storage building at OASIS. Replaced volleyball post at Colton Street end. Built three park benches for replacements. Our Street Tree Di- Vision performed the following: Root pruned 35 trees. • Trimmed 1593 trees. Planted 1 tree. Removed 4 trees. Completed 8 work requests. Areas being trimmed are Buffalo Hills, Buffalo Hills Park and Ford Road median. Item No. 12 RECREATION DIVISION 0 AUGUST, 1983 PROGRESS REPORT Youth and Adult Sports Summer'basketball and softball leagues have just completed their successful season. Both the programs were run extremely well by the Recreation Division and there were only minor problems. To work out even the minor problems of the two programs will depend greatly on an evaluation form sent out to the 181 coaches and managers. An analysis of this evaluation will be mentioned in the next progress report. The annual beach volleyball tournament at Corona del Mar State Beach had 101 teams registered this year. There were three tournaments held for the Novice ''A' and 18 and under classifications. The tournament director said attendance was down due to the bad weather. The King of Newport Beach Softball Tournament was held at Corona del Mar High School on August 13 and 14. There were 12 teams in the minor division. The Girls Youth Softball teams competed in the Orange County Championships. Andersen School sent teams from their 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Santa Ana won the championship,.. Preparation is underway for the Boys Flag Football program. The season is due to begin September 12 at six locations throughout the City. • Aquatics and Sailing The sailing program was successful this year but it is also becoming very competitive. Revenue as compared to last year will fall several thousand dollars short this summer. The drop is due partly to the Shields program. Next year's sailing program will be improved due to a comprehensive evaluation. The lowering of class fees and the dropping of certain staff members should increase attendance and save the City money. The swimming program was again excellent. The staff did an outstanding job and the Belly Flop Contest on Saturday, August 27, was a great success. The City grossed over $1000 more than last year. The Body Surfing class was very successful. If there is any problem with this class, it is the changing of the class location due to the wave configuration. Facilities were very busy during the summer and they were kept clean by the maintenance staff. An evaluation of our facility status for maintenance purposes will soon take place and will be mentioned in subsequent progress reports. Special Activity Classes Summer activity classes showed an increase in profit for the '83 summer. Revenue for 1982 was $48,407 as- compared to 1983 of $62,823. Because of the offering of many new exciting classes and an annual adjustment fee, revenue was up 29 %. Tennis class revenue for the summer was down slightly from last year. The Fall Brochure has been mailed out as of August 22„ 1983. The brochure is very comprehensive and lists all the classes and fall registration dates. Registration �� should be heavy. -2- The Day Camp Program was very successful this summer. It ended with a spectacular camp out at Grant Howald Park on August 19. A detailed camp evaluation is • forthcoming. The Corona del Mar. Fall Five Mile Run is being organized for October 23, 1983. Fliers should be out soon. Senior Citizens August was a busy place for the OASIS Center. In addition to all the classes, trips and games being offered, the OASIS held a very successful Luau on August 27 with over 180 people in attendance. There was a volunteer champagne party held on August 29 and several meetings for the purpose of developing a croquet site at the OASIS facility. Shuffleboard courts were finally accepted for use and a new Outreach Leader was hired by the name of Pam McGovern. The Outreach Leader will also conduct training sessions. Meetings will be scheduled in September on the Health Fair to be conducted at OASIS Center on October 1.
