ACTION ITEMS Item #5 - Night Lighting at Bonita Creek Park Night Lighting at Director Whitley reported there was an opportunity at the Bonita December 6, 1988 meeting for the Commission to hear from Creek Park residents on this matter. The item was continued so that staff could study the issue in depth and suggest solutions . to help solve the ambient light problem. Staff's recom- mendations are to (1) Terminate play at a reasonable time, i.e., no new-softball inning will begin after 10:00 P.M.; and (2) Consult with the original electrical engineer to provide shields that will reduce the ambient lighting. Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony. Mr. James Okuley, 4299 MacArthur, addressed the Commission. Mr. Okuley, attorney representing the homeowners, referred to the recommendations and questioned who determines the • end of an inning; and that this would not solve the problem since games may well progress after 10:30 P.M. He would like an ultimate cut off time. He also questioned when the shields would be installed and asked that a time frame be implemented. Director Whitley responded to Mr. Okuley's concerns and stated the umpire has the authority to end an inning. Since most softball innings end quickly, i.e., an inning usually lasts 4 -5 minutes at the most, lights would be out by 10:15 P.M. Regarding the time frame for the shields, Director Whitley explained the electrical engineer would have to be consulted and he expected they could be installed in about 60 days. Mr. Buddy Cox, 2613 Mesa Drive, Santa Ana, addressed the Commission. He voiced his concerns about budgets, estimates and bids for the shields. 'He recommended the homeowners be notified as to what is transpiring. He also questioned the authority of the umpires. Chair Konwiser explained that the City will be installing and paying for the shields. Umpires are hired and have the authority to end an inning or game. Patricia Cox, 2612 Mesa Drive, Santa Ana, addressed the . Commission. She stated that, although ft has been quiet the past month due to suspended play during the holidays, she is still concerned about the lighting problems. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers . 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Vandervort pointed out she participates in the program and games are usually always on schedule. Should a problem arise, the "mercy rule" can be applied and games terminated.' Mike Baginski, 138 Topaz, addressed the Commission and recommended the lights go off at 10 :00 P.M. so that.the games end at 10:00 P.M. Joseph Bulwa, 3184 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission. Mr. Bulwa stated the lights often stay on after the games end and that there are basketball players on the basketball court sometimes until 1:00 A.M. He also voiced his concern over the loudspeaker. Mark Deven explained the exit lighting system which is activated when the game lights go out, and they are off after about 15 -20 minutes. An umpire and staff member will also assure that the lights go off in a timely manner. Regarding the basketball court, the only light available would be the walkway light which is not enough by which to play. The Department, however, will check this out and post the court. Referring to the loud speaker, this would have occurred without City approval. Mindy Miller, 24 Cormorant Circle, addressed the Commission. She stated she lives about a mile away and the lights are still blinding. Victor Larsen, 1629 White Oak, addressed the Commission. He stated'he felt the new park is great and is enjoyed by many people. He said he plays softball and feels the lights in their present state are not bright enough to catch in the outfield. Dan Rabun, 3130 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission and asked why this particular park has lights. Chair Konwiser explained that there were years of planning that preceded the park and the lights were always part of the original plan. Local residents were so informed when they purchased their homes. Chair Konwiser also stated that, although there may have been abuses of the lighting system in the past, the Commission's decisions to help alleviate the problems will be strictly enforced. Public Testimony was closed by Chair Konwiser. 5 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Vandervort questioned the direction of the lights and Director Whitley,explained that lighting athletic fields is a precise science by the electrical engineer to provide a certain amount of candlepower on a consistent light pattern. The only lights that will be on all the time will be those on the walkways for safety reasons. Commissioner Grant suggested Recommendation #1 include "No new batters shall come to the plate after 10:30 P.M." And that "if it does not endanger users of the facilities" be added to Recommendation #2. Commissioner Springer stated she appreciated everyone coming to the.meeting and that she favors the recommenda- tions as presented. Should they not work out satisfactorily, the Commission can review the matter again. Chair Konwiser agreed and said he felt the recommendations are excellent compromises. The issue can be brought before the Commission for further consideration if this is not workable. Commissioner Vandervort asked if the rules are published and would be given to the players. Mark Deven explained the Department has invoked the rules for winter softball which commences January 20. Motion x Commissioner Herberts moved to accept Recommendations Ayes x x x x x #1 and #2 as written. Unanimous.. Item #6 - San-Miguel Park Handball Courts San Miguel Park Hand - Director Whitley briefly reviewed the request from Brian ball Courts Donovan to remove the handball courts at San Miguel Park. Six or seven years ago there were one or two similar requests but nothing has been received since that time. Chair Konwiser stated he felt the courts are clean, well maintained, and well posted. The closest'home is about 350' away from the courts which should be a sufficient distance. Commissioner Herberts agreed with Chair Konwiser and stated that since the homes are a significant distance • from the courts, she feels there is no justification for (o removal. Commissioners Taft, Grant and Brenner concurred. Motion x Commissioner Taft moved the handball courts at San Miguel Ayes x x x x x. x Park be allowed to remain. Unanimous. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Item #7 - Closing Time for Beaches Closing Time for Director Whitley reported the City Council has referred Beaches to the Commission a letter from the Central Newport Community Association requesting the beaches be closed at 10:00 P.M. with the exception of the Balboa Pier area. Their request has been supported by the West Newport Beach Association, the Balboa Peninsula Point Association, and Balboa Improvement Association, who have been notified that the Commission will be reviewing the matter this evening. Director Whitley pointed out that this Department has a minimal role on beach administration since staff does not maintain them nor do they enforce beach rules and regula- tions. Director Whitley reported that, for the record, a cbmmunica- • tion was received from Elaine Linhoff, 1716 E. Oceanfront, opposing the 10:00 P.M. closure and from Donna Colombero., 1003 E. Balboa, supporting the 10:00 P.M. closure. Capt. Mike Blitch from the Police Department addressed the Commission and explained the Department's overlapping shifts, manpower, and enforcement methods. He reviewed the pros and cons of closing the beaches at 10 :00 P.M., pointing out that the major problem areas are at the Wedge and both Pier sites. Capt. Blitch explained that the main problem for the-Department is to decide which per- ceived problem should receive the most attention. Enforce- ment of enclosure is not a major problem. Chair Konwiser then opened the meeting to Public Testimony. Dayna Pettit, 1741 Plaza del•Sur and President of the Balboa Peninsula Point Association, addressed the Commission. She stated that the problems caused by more tourists and traffic could be alleviated by closing the beaches at 10:00 P.M. She thanked the Commission for considering this matter and will ask for a consensus from the homeowners in their forthcoming newsletter. Mr. Bill Schonlau, 408 -A E. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission. He stated the three involved Boards of the Associations are in unanimous agreement for a 10:00 P.M. closure since they all have the same problems. Noise, traffic and the fact that there are no restrooms contribute to the problems. CITY OF NEWPORT 'BEACH arks, Beaches .& Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Mike Baginski, 138 Topaz, addressed the Commission. -He felt the beach should be kept open for all to enjoy and commended the Police Department for doing a good job. Mr. Bill Schonlau, 408 -A E. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission and reported that the three Associations recognize many families enjoy using the beach, therefore, they have recommended excluding the Balboa Pier area where there are firepits from the 10:00 P.M. closing time. Chair Konwiser closed the meeting to public.testimony and discussion by the Commission followed. When asked if the members of the three Associations present were polled, the Commission,was informed they were not; those present were representatives at the Boards' request. • Commissioner Grant felt that, due to the wide usage of the beach, the enforcement issue, and the fact that the Wedge area is the main problem, the beach rules remain as they are. Commissioner Springer concurred. 4 Commissioner Herberts stated she would vote as the Balboa Peninsula Point Association recommends, i:e., beach closure at 10:00 P.M. with the exception of the Balboa Pier area at midnight. She recommended the community associations poll their members at large and report back to this Commission or the City Council with this informa- tion should they seek an appeal. Commissioner Vandervort pointed out that there are not many places for teenagers to go except the beach and she would not like to see the use of the beach limited to the public. Commissioner Brenner stated she likes the idea of a con- sistent closing and suggested giving the 10:00 P.V. closure time a try and posting this on the City Limits signs. Chair Konwiser noted the beaches are a tremendous asset to the City and he felt it would be unreasonable to restrict the time to 10:00 P.M.

Item #8 - Review of Ordinance Regulat Director Whitley reviewed the letter received from Mr. O.K. Englund objecting to mechanical blowers. Mr. Whitley pointed out that some of Mr. Englund's complaints are justified, however, enforcement of the Ordinance on the Use of Mechanical Blowers is almost impossible. Alterna- tives the Commission should consider are (1) Retain Ordinance 6.04.055; (2) Change the Ordinance; (3) Ban the Ordinance (which some cities have done.) Following a brief discussion, Commissioner Vandervort motioned to ban mechanical blowers and use leaf vacuums. Motion fails. Commissioner Springer stated vacuums are very expensive a use them.

Director Whitley explained that this would come out of the Planning Department's budget and he will contact their Director to clarify the matter. Commissioner Grant questioned where the Girls Bobby Sox will play and if this needs to be in the capital budget. Mark Deven explained that, due to the closure of the Lincoln facility for improvements, the Department has picked Irvine Terrace Park as a possible site. However, due to Deed restrictions, the homeowners association must approve and their decision is forthcoming. Chair Konwiser asked about the completion of the sidewalk on the ocean side of Ocean Boulevard and Director Whitley advised this is in the budget. Commissioner Springer asked if there was still an interest . in building a new facility at Mariners Park, and Director Whitley said there was none at this time. She also in- quired if funding should be set aside to purchase land when it becomes available. Since the Commission decided no additional items were to be added to the capital projects list, review of each proposed item followed and the Commission prioritized the list as follows: 1. Park Facility Improvement Fund 2. Corona del Mar High School Olympic Pool 3. West Newport Community Center Refurbishment 4. Safety Mowstrips for Jamboree Road Median 5.

Item #11 - Review and Recommend Regarding Corona del Mar Olympic Pool Agreement Director Whitley passed out and explained the revisions just received to the proposed Olympic Pool Agreement. The Agreement is for the Commission's review before being trans- mitted to the City Council for adoption. He pointed out that we will have 50% usage of the pool which is spelled • out in the schedule. The City will have to pay 50% of the utility costs which was not in the original Agreement. During discussion, Commissioner Vandervort recommended that Use of the Pool include the words Monday through Friday on the same line during the school year.period. Under City and District Contribution, Commissioner Herberts recommended the land cost be clarified. Under the same item, paragraph 3, Chair Konwiser recommended "at" be changed to "for."

PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments was addressed following Item G. Scott Anderson, Jr., 1730 Port Margate Place, addressed the Commission. Mr. Anderson referred to the diseased Pear Trees on Port Margate which he would like replaced with more mature trees as a pilot program for his street. Jack Brooks agreed that the Pear Trees have fire blight for which there is no cure. He also agreed that taller, more mature trees would be suitable for the street. Director Whitley explained that Mr. Anderson's letter was not received in time to be agendized, however, the Street Tree Committee met January 9 to discuss the matter and approved removal and replacement of the diseased trees. He agreed that it might be beneficial to try a test . program and, should the community like it, then it could be phased with existing funds upon Commission approval. Commissioner Herberts,concurred with the replacement trees suggested and recommended the community association be contacted to discuss replacement trees. Mr. Anderson explained that the Association's Board does not want to take a position and he is attempting the demon- stration project on his own accord as a homeowner. ,During discussion on designated trees, Jack Brooks pointed out that the designated tree for Port Margate is Cupania, however, this can be changed. Since the Street Tree Committee approved removal and re- placement of the Pear trees on Port Margate, Chair Konwiser so authorized removal and directed Mr. Anderson to work with staff to pick out one of the three trees he suggested for replacement. Commissioner Herberts led discussion about different designated trees for each street, rather than all the same for one large area as in Corona del Mar. Mr. Dan Rabun, 3130 Corte Hermosa, addressed the Commission • and asked if consideration had been given concerning re- placing the red roof on the Bonita Creek Park building. Director Whitley informed him that there have been some �� complaints about the red roof, however, it was part of the architectural plans to go with the color scheme of the park. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches .& Recreation Commission Page 11 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX - The Commission felt that at this time it would be too expensive and impractical to replace, although they agreed there -could be a better alternative to what is there.

The analysis will focus on a brief explanation of the Master Plan elements which will be expanded upon by Friends of Oasis Boardmembers at the joint meeting, demographic trends affecting public services for seniors, case studies which illustrate examples of staff and volunteer assistance to elders in need, the present program /service utilization of Oasis Center, and evaluation of the survey mailed to Oasis members in November, 1988. This information is presented as a means of evaluating the expansion of Oasis Center which is the centerpiece item of the Master Plan. • Master Plan Elements Originally conceived by the Friends' Long Range Planning Committee as a separate Human Services addition on dedicated property north of the Center, a number of issues converged to reduce the size and scope of the building in favor of addressing the needs of the entire site. The separate building incorporating facilities for medical services, legal counseling and a sick room was estimated to require over 5,000 square feet without addressing parking problems and other concerns. Following a series of discussions with staff, Commission members and City Council members, the Long Range Planning Committee recommended that the Friends of Oasis fund a private consultant to facilitate the planning of the addition and incorporation of the related issues. The Board of Directors entered into an Agreement for Master Planning Services with Recreation Systems, Inc. on the basis of their experience planning senior center sites in nine other cities, most recently in the City of Tustin. RSI met with the Long Range Planning Committee and Executive Board regularly since mid - November, ultimately developing the site as presented in the packet.. The Master Plan's elements include: 1. 'Facility Expansion The expanded facilities have been reduced to 3,800 square feet and include new office space for staff and volunteers ,'_,privacy offices for counseling, income tax assistance and case management services, and a central lobby which encourages socializing among the participants. Currently, a "focal point" is missing • at the Center, which encourages people to leave after their scheduled activities conclude. 2. Multi- Purpose Room Utilization �(_ Installation of mechanized room dividers depicted on the Plan -2- will. allow efficient utilization of the Multi- Purpose Room • by providing up to three separate activity areas. This feature will also benefit evening use�by other Department classes and community organizations. 3. Expanded Parking A recurring problem, the expanded parking will provide an additional 40 spaces, access from less busy side streets and will discourage parking in the lot on the west side of Marguerite Avenue, thereby reducing or eliminating seniors from crossing the busy intersection. 4. Gardens Relocation The Oasis Gardens will be relocated to accommodate the expansion. The relocation will also include improvements by amending the soil to enhance crop production. 5. Game Room The current location of the Game Room in the north wing is incompatible with the use of surrounding rooms. Ad- jacent rooms used for instruction, reading and viewing of videos are hampered by noise and other nuisances created by the Game Room. Relocation to the wing currently occupied by staff and volunteers will address this issue. • The elements proposed for incorporation within the Master Plan are the result of thorough- research -by- the -L-ong-Range- PIannrirg-Commi -tEes of 1987 -88 and 1988 -89, chaired by Boyd Stillings and Jim DeLamater, respectively. Demographics National, State and local demographic trends indicate that older adults will continue to be the fastest growing segment of the population. The following information includes data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Census Bureau and the City's Planning Department. The "elderly support ratio" (the number of 65 -plus persons to persons of working age, 18 -64 years) is changing shape due to the fact that people are living longer and families are having fewer children. In 1900 there were about seven elderly persons for every 100 persons of working age; in 1986, this ratio was about 20 elderly persons per 100 of working age. By 2020, the ratio will rise to about 29 per 100. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1987). The average life expectancy at birth is ever increasing. Currently, the average life expectancy is 74.7 years and'is on the rise. from a public policy standpoint, these statistics are crucial in that publicly- funded programs will have increasing demands put on them. While in contrast, most private funds (i.e., family) are directed toward support of the young. Although national trends provide some insight and direction, local population patterns impact the City and the Depart- ment directly. According to the 1980 census, there were about 15,725 people • over the age of 55 living in Newport Beach, accounting for 25% of the total population. The City's Planning Department estimates that the median age in Newport Beach has increased since 1980 due to two factors: (1) The inaffordability of homes which prevents young families from moving into the City, and (2) The decline of total. school enrollment. The largest concentration of seniors tends II to be in Dover Shores, Eastbluff, Park Newport, Balboa Island, Newport Heights -3- and the Hoag Hospital area. The impact on services and programs provided at Oasis and scheduled for implementation at the West Newport Community Center is . expected to be dramatic over a 30 year period. Therefore, there is an increasing present and future need for governmental services which may be met at both Oasis Center and at the West Newport Community Center. Factors which demonstrate the need include the increase in life expectancy, the increasing care of frail elderly parents by adult children who may need support groups or service assistance, and the sophistication of senior citizens who are determined to live independently but require assistance to do so. A comprehensive senior center which meets the needs of active, younger seniors and older, frail seniors can play a vital community role. In addition to the successful recreation oriented model currently in place at Oasis, the emergence of "frail elderly" participants has been recognized by both the Friends of Oasis and professional staff. Frail elderly require specialized services provided by trained gerontological professionals assisted and supported by volunteers. Case Management Studies Comprehensive senior centers which include services for frail elderly typically include professional staff trained in Case Management. Case Management is defined as work performed by staff and /or volunteers for persons with multiple problems. It includes life - threatening situations requiring direct intervention as well as providing a series of common referrals. Problems requiring Case Management are not affected by personal income or community status. The following examples utilizing false names have occurred within the last year at Oasis. 0 Case Study #1 Mabel was referred to the Senior Service Specialist by her neighbors. Mabel"li -ves alone with 5 cats in a house in Corona del Mar. She is very unpleasant, yells at the neighbors and refuses to pay any outside help. She is unable to care for herself, her house or her cats. The house is dirty with many litter boxes scattered around, and there is a very strong cat odor. She has recently been falling frequently and will call either the Paramedics or neighbors in the middle of the night. Mabel is a very strong minded woman, who would never think of moving out of her house. Although adult children probably have the means to assist her, Mabel is not in contact with any of them. Her reliance on her neighbors has been a nuisance, resulting in their referral to the Center. The Specialist made a home visit to assess Mabel's situation, and suggested alterna- tives such as hiring in -home help to care for her and her cats. This person could prepare meals., bath her, clean the house and care for the cats. Mabel has been resistant to this because she is not willing to pay the going rate. She does, however, call the Center at least once a week for assistance, thereby relieving the neighbors of demanding tasks and providing staff with the opportunity to make appropriate referrals. Case Study #2 Helen lives with her 40 year old son in Newport Heights. They came to Oasis to speak with the Specialist regarding some problems they were having. During the • conversation, it became evident that the son was not well. He completely dominated the conversation, yelled and made insulting remarks about his mother. Staff determined that he was troubled andfrustrated by the additional demands of-caring for his frail and aging mother. During a 90 minute conversation, his remarks and tone became obsessive and threatening. After consulting with other staff ' members, the Specialist intervened by contacting the Police Department and Elder -4- Abuse Hotline for follow up investigations. As a result, the case was referred to the County Social Service Department and Public Guardian Office, which assigned a conservator for Helen and removed the son from the house. Case Study #3 Betty and her husband were, at one time, very active at Oasis. The husband passed away and Betty was living alone in Jasmine Creek, up the hill from Oasis. She had become slightly frail and had short term memory loss. Her daughter, historically at odds with her, bodily removed Betty from her house and took her to a small Board and'Care facility in Mission Viejo. The daughter then moved into her mother's house, changed the locks and took up residence.there. Although cut off from friends and other family, Betty kept the Oasis phone number fn her purse and contacted the Specialist, relating her situation. A Friends of Oasis volunteer intervened by retaining an attorney on her behalf and assisted in the recovery of her home, property and possessions. This example illustrates the self -help philosophy of the Friends of Oasis, as well as the generosity of an individual member. Case Study #4 Bob is 85 years old and had a stroke approximately 6 months ago. He was left with some paralyzation on one side. He lives in the Westcliff area in a small, cold garage.. He lives - primarily on his Social Security earnings. Bob called Oasis when he finally realized that he needed help at home. He could not prepare meals and had no transportation. The Specialist made a home visit to assess his situation and decided what services were available to help him. After meeting with Bob, the Specialist set up Meals -on- Wheels to be delivered to his home, arranged for the Van to bring him up to Oasis two days a week for Chair Exercise class, and informed him of how to get set up with a life -line system through Hoag Hospital. These examples illustrate specific experiences of frail seniors and family members. Approximately 200 telephone calls are received or placed by staff to frail elderly each month. In addition, over 70 frail elderly come to Oasis monthly and receive information.and referral services, the first step in a potential case management process. Currently the Senior Services Specialist schedules an average of three home visits per month. Current Utilization: Recreational, social and special interest activities programmed at Oasis have been developed and scheduled in cooperation with the Board of Directors. The activities are usually scheduled Monday- Friday,. 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M., although volunteers who coordinate specific classes arrive as early as 9:00 A.M. to prepare and set up classrooms. The use and scheduling pattern is based on the preference of participants who desire a schedule which insures that they will be home by 5:00 P.M. In addition, participants who rely on the 'Friends of Oasis transportation service are required to leave at 4:00 P.M., the last scheduled run of the day. Exhibit A indicates the 'daily utilization pattern of each classroom at Oasis. Room III is designated for use as a Library, and other rooms are scheduled on • a limited basis due to spaces required for meetings or "last minute"spenJLal + events and seminars. Although scheduling is generally limited to daytime hours, attendance-is_ expected to exceed 73,500_during the current fiscal year. Estimated figures for 1989 -90 are expected to rise due to program -5- development at the West Newport Community Center and the scheduling of %struc- tional activities in the Arts and Crafts .Room. Survey 'Analysis In November, 1988, Department staff and the Friends of Oasis jointly developed and sent a membership survey to 2,100 individual households. A total of 900 surveys were returned to the Center. The survey requested information from members concerning their frequency of participation, reasons why they may not participate, solicitation of program ideas, and desired human services. The responses are compositely totaled for each question on Exhibit B. An analysis of the results indicates that recreational activities still appear to be the most popular draw. However, human services programs defined by the examples in question #6 reveal the concerns of many respondents and the need for professional resources to provide assistance. Conversely, question #3 reveals that many people are not. participating at Oasis with greater frequency due to their busy personal schedules. Therefore, staff will try to develop an alterna- tive to the present schedule which will provide evening and weekend programs, especially for active seniors. The survey also indicated the importance of transportation to the Center and to personal appointments, including medical services and shopping. In the final analysis, the survey seems to confirm the staff position that both recreational and human service activities are desired at Oasis, thus providing some direction to develop a comprehensive full- service Center. Conrlusion! iThe evolution of Oasis Center from a facility dedicated to recreational programs for active seniors into a comprehensive, multi- service site for both active and frail elderly was both gradual and responsive. The development of various human service programs by the staff was initiated at the request of the Friends of Oasis. Both the Department and the Friends have gradually--recognized the emergence of frail elderly participants and have initiated new programs in response to their needs. I't was within the framework of a Center evolving to meet the needs of its constitu- ents that the Friends began the process of evaluating the limitations of the existing site. Through the Long Range Planning Committee and in cooperation with the Department, the Friends gradually prioritized their concerns. In preparation for serious consideration during the Fiscal 1989 -90 budget process, the Friends funded the services of-a consultant to define the concept of the project. In partnership with the Friends, Department staff evaluated the existing services and utilization and recognized the implications of demographic trends which indicate the growth of senior citizens in the community. Thus, the elements of the Master Plan attempt to address factors beyond present concerns. It is sincerely hoped that the information presented in this report will assist in the Commission's consideration of the Master Plan. . ark Deven i 0 7s: 7► W : 5►IL: MEMBERSHIP SURVEY 8�x W: 6-IL 3 1) As a marber of OASIS, You are entitled to have a newsletter moiled to you once a month.

Discussion: The Mariners Point project, which the Commission has reviewed a number of times, has resulted in the placement of Date Palms that have blocked views for residents on Cliff Drive. Arrangements have been made for Commissioners to visit the Patrick home, 2804 Cliff Drive, to personally view this situation -. For this purpose, from 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. on Monday, February 6, 1989 has been allocated for field review. • If there are questions, prior to the Commission meeting, please feel free to call. • ,I i _ 3 W "ILLIAM H.

We built our home approximately three years ago choosing this particular site because of its view. To the south, looking across Cliff Drive Park, is a view of the bay and ocean and to the west is a view along . Cliff Drive looking at Catalina Island. Then along came the Wood's project and its relocating of palm trees...... The date palms on either end of the street frontage in the City right —of —way obstruct our view of Catalina. I have enclosed a map indicating the problem. This is an approved planting by the PB &R Commission, but unfortunately my view was not taken into consideration. I have read your policy titled "Obstruction Of Views By Trees" adopted September 14, 1987 (copy enclosed), and feel clearly that this planting is in direct conflict. In addition, the view played an important financial part in the purchase of the property. The City planting of trees obstructing a portion of the view does not enhance my property value, therefore I will suffer financially from the current placement. I would suggest relocating these trees in the park or to another location on the Wood's property so as not to obstruct the views from the existing residences. Sincerely yours, IL William H.

PATRICK LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT 0 i i 0 9ZACOAJ NO SGt 4f 0 I -12 OBSTRUCTION OF VIEWS BY TREES The City Council has expectations that individuals, public agencies and ' homeowner associations will comply with procedures to diminish view obstructions caused by trees and vegetation on their property. The purpose of this policy is to identify the importance of views lost due to tree growth by another private or public property owner. The objectives of this policy are to: 1. Preserve and promote the aesthetic benefits provided by trees and the preservation of views of the surrounding locale. 2. Preserve, maintain and enhance property values within the City. 3. Encourage the proper maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges or other vegetation that unduly diminish desirable views. 4. Encourage homeowner associations and individuals to vigorously enforce their CC &R's as they pertain to trimming shrubbery in order to maintain views and property values. 5. By example, City will endeavor to maintain all City —owned park property in a manner to maximize public and private view planes. Definitions to clarify this policy are: 1. Unreasonable Obstruction of View A tree, shrub, hedge or other vegetation should not be maintained on public or private property in the City in such a manner as to unreasonably obstruct the view from other property. 2. Views "View" means a range of sight including pleasing vistas or prospects or scenes. Views include, but are not limited to, the sight of geologic features, bays, oceans, skylines and bridges.

L� • • STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 6 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE,OF THE CITY MANAGER January 23, 1989 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: ANIMAL REGULATIONS During the Study Session of January 9th members of the City Council requested more information on animal regulations within the City of Newport Beach, and.specifically the license fees being charged, comparison with-other juris- dictions, and control-of nuisances committed by animals. On Exhibit #1 you will find a•chart.showing the fees of all Orange County cities and the County of.,Orange. From this-chart it is demonstrated that Newport Beach's.current fees are about average with those being charged in other parts of the County. The highest dog license fees appear to be in irvine.that charges $24 /year compared to Newport Beach'at $18 /year. The lowest fee is charged by Costa Mesa ($10). The cities listed on this chart are the only ci'tie's that provide Animal ContrQl.OfficerS. All other cities contract with Orange-County for this service. A breakdown of administration of animal.services throughout.the County is as follows: COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL AND SHELTER CONTRACT Anaheim Brea Buena Park Cypress Fountain Valley Fullerton Garden Grove Huntington Beach La Palma Los Alamitos Mission Viejo Orange Placentia San Juan Capistrano Stanton Tustin Villa Park Yorba Linda COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER CONTRACT Costa Mesa La Habra Santa Ana Seal Beach Westminster INDEPENDENT 'PROVIDERS Irvine Laguna Beach Newport Beach San Clemente -2- The Orange County Animal Control and Shelter Service programs provide services to the unincorporated area of the • County and to eighteen cities in the County. Services are provided to these contracting cities in exchange for the County retaining all animal license and other related fees. There are five cities that operate their own Animal Control Programs, but contract with the County for shelter,services. The cities are charged a fee for each animal brought to the County shelter that is not redeemed by its owner. Four cities in the County independently operate their own Animal Control Program and Shelter facilities. Exhibit 2 illustrates those cities that employ muni- cipal Animal Control Officers (ACO) and the number of Officers per 10,000 population. This chart is provided to illustrate that Newport Beach is above average•in the number of ACO's pro- vided. This reflects a higher level-of service in Newport Beach than any other city in Orange County. Exhibit 2 does not list the County or the cities that contract with the County. In collecting the population of all of the contract cities and the County, it appears that the level of service is about .21 ACO!s per 10,000 population. This varies slightly by city depending upon the level of- service provided by the County. At this time the'City Council may be aware that the contract cities are negotiating with the County for a different arrangement. The County believes they lose money with the con- tract cities and wish to implement a plan to establish complete • cost recovery from the- contract cities. The contract cities are opposing this and as a result it is difficult to get accurate figures on the level of.service being provided in these cities. The County asserts to one level and the cities assert to a lesser level, but averaging the unincorporated and•the contract cities derives approximately the .21 ACO per 10,000. The cost to the City for providing complete animal regulation services has been calculated for fiscal year ending June 30, 1988. These costs and revenues are as follows: EXPENDITURES Salaries (5 positions) $135,529.42 Health Insurance 12•,798.12 Life Insurance 505.08 Retirement 17,599.44 Disability .593.64 Retiree Insurance 513.60 Automotive Service (including depreciation) 28,050.87 Impound Costs 14,009.56 Uniforms 1,849.70 Equipment 75'0'00 Miscellaneous Supplies 500,.00 $212,699.43 REVENUES • Dog Licenses $ 62,749.85 a�q Citations 19;700.00 82,449.85 EXCESS EXPENDITURES OVER REVENUES •(DEFICIT) $130,249.58 -3- This indicates that the General Fund subsidizes the • animal control services in Newport Beach to the extent of $130,249 annually. To make this service self- supporting, the dog license fees would have to be increased nearly 300 %, which would require an increase from $18.00 to approximately $50.00. During the Study Session one of the Council Members handed out a dog litter bag with the suggestion that we be more aggressive in requiring dog owners to utilize these bags. The City could, at very little cost, issue bags along with the license, but the issuance does-not guarantee that the animal owner will use the bags. The Municipal Code makes it a misdemeanor for the owner to permit his animal to commit a nuisance. It is not, however, unlawful to be without a litter bag. Inasmuch.as the regulations currently in operation are fairly brief, I have also attached sections of the Municipal Code that impose the animal regulations within the City. Conclusions: 1. Animal Control program is subsidized by the City's General Fund. 2. Our level of.service exceeds all other cities within Orange County and the County of Orange. • 3. Animal fecal bags (except for pit bulls) can be provided at time of issuance of license at a nominal cost. 4. City could encourage Community Associations, such as Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce, to dispense litter bags. 5. The City Manager's Newsletter can contain a request for compliance by animal owners. RLW:kf X ROBERT L.

We heartily support your recommendation and commend you and your department for your efforts in this regard. We strongly feel that the consistent signing for this issue will better enable the police in their enforcement efforts and as well should immediately help to eliminate this problem. Thanks very much. We sincerely appreciate your assistance and look forward to implementation prior to our summer season. We would be pleased to hear from you following approval and suggested scheduling for execution.

What people object to is the litter left by dogs and dogs running loose. Ordinances alreaady on tthe books address those problems and should be enforced. To deny law- abiding citizens who own dogs the pleasure of enjoying our parks and beaches is punishing them for tshe misdeeds of those who break the law be leaving dog litter and letting dogs runloose. Enforce the laws we already have. Please do not add another ordinance to restrict our freedom. We are boxed in enough with necessary ordinances. incidentally, I havie lived in Newport Beach since 1954 and in all those years ha+tve never owned a dog .

My wife and I feel strongly that these trees need to be promptly removed. The previous owners of the property, Larry and Betty Kerr, also felt these trees needed to be removed and have made requests that this be done. In fact, on our purchasing the property last summer, they assured us that the City was indeed planning to have the trees taken out. The trees are the largest ones on our street and are already quite destructive. They have caused upheaval of the sidewalk in several areas, resulting in unsafe and uncertain footing. This situation is aggravated by the fact that the street is quite dark with no street lights and I feel this could be particularly hazardous for older individuals. I am greatly concerned about the potential liability that we incur by allowing this remediable situation to persist. I would expect that the City of Newport Beach would also be concerned about this liability. It is clearly simply a matter of time before these trees are also destructive to our personal property. We have a brick fence lying adjacent to the sidewalk and, without doubt, this will be disrupted and destroyed if these trees continue to grow. I would appreciate a review of the decision regarding removal of these trees and feel that a rational analysis of this situa- tion should lead to approval of their removal. This situation is particularly bothersome since neighbors one house over from ours had similar, though somewhat smaller trees removed in the recent past. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

The attached descriptions provide details on the program. As the locations would most likely include parks, the Arts Commission is desirous of obtaining the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission's approval and probable assistance from staff to implement the concept. Ronald A. Whitley 0 PROPOSED ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROJECT 1989 SUMMER CONCERTS CITY COUNCIL POLICY T1 ART IN PUBLIC PLACES - requires the Arts Commission to sumbit in January of each year a list of projects with estimated costs. This year, the Arts Commission recommends a series of Summer Concerts to be held in neighborhood parks throughout the City. The emphasis will be on neighborhood. These concerts will be designed for local walk -in attendance. Notices and advertise- ments will be delivered through direct mail and through Community Associations. The concept is to bring music to the neighborhoods, to avoid having residents travel to congested tourist areas and to avoid attracting tourists to neighborhoods. Approximately five parks will be chosen after consulting with Community Associations from the following candidates: • Channel Place Park in West Newport Newport Heights School Galaxy Park .Buffalo Hills Park Grant Howald Park Eastbluff Park Balboa Pier Park in conjunction with the Gazebo Concerts Irvine Terrace Park Preliminary discussions indicate that entertainment may be provided by Opera Pacific and California Winds. Concerts would be , scheduled in the early evenings during the summer. Residents would be encouraged to walk to their neighborhood park with their blankets, beach chairs, etc. The cost for a successful and high - qulaity program including direct -mail notification to all City residents is estimated at $45,000. SjLfS a"y4 d�LyR, / lMe£hJ�C67�GCi • M CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Item No. 10 Marine Department . January 18, 1989 TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Marine Department SUBJECT: VESSEL AND JET SKI ENFORCEMENT - OPERATION /LAUNCHING ON THE OCEAN FRONT Recommendation: If desired, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, in conjunction with the Marine Department, recommends to the City Council the establishment of a o Municipal Code Chapter on "Ocean Vessel Operation" in the City of Newport Beach. Municipal Code Title 11 - Recreational Activities. Upon establishment of a new chapter, council resolution will specify the appropriate hours, dates and location. Background Attachment "A" gives a brief comparison of jet ski /vessel enforcement at the various Orange County ocean front beaches. As can be seen by looking at Column B, jet ski activity is very limited on ocean front beaches in Orange County. The City of Newport Beach offers the least restrictive laws in all of Orange County. The means that Newport experiences the highest jet ski usage in the county, as well as being the most.widely recommended by other marine safety agencies and companies that "rent" jet skis. Conflicting usage by bathers, surfers, and jet skiers has become more fre- quent and a corresponding increase in the diversion of marine safety personnel to cope with these conflicts'has resulted. ° Problem: All agencies in Orange CoLtIty, except Newport, have local laws or ordinances, in addition to the Harbor-and Navigation Codes, which can deal specifically with jet skis /vessels in the ocean front "'activity zone ". Possible Solutions: 1. Revise "Harbor Regulation "Municipal Code 37.16.000 to include "Pacific Ocean" or "all waters within city limits'!. The problem with this solution would be the complete elimination of jet skis, Hobie Cats, etc. from Newport's ocean front beaches. 2. Develop specific codes to allow Marine Safety Officers closure of beaches to vessels. 3. Continue the ambiguous and selective application of "Harbor and Navigation Codes" and City of Newport Beach "Harbor Regulations ". 4. "Conduct on Beaches ", 11.08.090, could be expanded to include the ocean. !_The best solution would be No. 2. ,5( Page 2 • Based on input from the Captain, Lieutenants, Marine Safety Officers and jet ski correspondence, the following should be incorporated into a council resolution backed by the proper municipal codes: • A. Dates banned, May 1st - September 30th. (Similar to 40 -44 surfer ban) (R) B. 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ban. (Similar to Wedge flotation devices ban) (R) C. Hand carry only. (17.16.020C) (M) D. Extend out 100 feet past surfline. E. Exempt City Officials, Police, Lifeguards or other government agencies engaged in official business. (M) F. Vessel or trailer storage on beaches prohibited. (17.16.021) (M) Conclusion: To parallel surfing ordinances with similar vessel operation ordinances for ocean front beaches in the City of Newport Beach would be the best alternative. Attachment B shows an example of the proposed chapter and appropriate sections to be included in the municipal code. Attachment C shows an example of a proposed resolution.

Whitley F- 1 L-A • C� -11 Item No. 13 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: January 30, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: City Council Policy I -12, Obstruction of Views by Trees The attached Council Policy was formulated by the Commission and adopted by the City Council in September of 1987. The Harbor View Hills Community Association was instrumental in the original request in preparing this policy. The Association has requested that the Commission pursue regulations that will provide stronger enforce- ment and solutions to problems of views as impacted by trees. The subject is scheduled for discussion by the Commission to enable alternatives or solutions to be determined. 6 • 1 -12 OBSTRUCTION OF VIEWS BY TREES The City Council has expectations that individuals, public agencies and homeowner associations will comply with procedures to diminish view obstructions caused by trees and vegetation on their property. The purpose of this policy is to identify the importance of views lost due to tree growth by another private or public property owner. The objectives of this policy are to: 1. Preserve and promote the aesthetic benefits provided by trees and the preservation of views of the surrounding locale. 2. Preserve, maintain and enhance property values within the City. 3. Encourage the proper maintenance of trees, shrubs, hedges or other vegetation that unduly diminish desirable views. 4. Encourage homeowner associations and individuals to vigorously enforce their CC &R`s as they pertain to trimming shrubbery in order to maintain views and property values. 5. By example, City will endeavor to maintain all City -owned park property in a manner to maximize public and private view planes. Some exceptions can be trees of special value and beauty that in themselves enhance either the overall beauty of the area or are included in Preservation of Special Trees (I -9). Definitions to clarify this policy are: 1. Unreasonable Obstruction of View A tree, shrub, hedge or other vegetation should not be maintained on public or private property in the City in such a manner as to unreasonably obstruct the view from other property. 2. Views "View" means a range of sight including pleasing vistas or prospects or scenes. Views include, but are not limited to, the sight of geologic features, bays, oceans, skylines and bridges.

Box 54 Corona Del Mar, Ca 92625 Mr. Ron Whitley January 15, 1989 Parks, Beaches & Recreation Comm. City of Newport Beach P.O. Box 1768 Newport Beach, Ca 92663 Dear Mr. Whitley, We are now in the 16th month (September 1987) since the Council passed the city policy intended to preserve the primary views of Newport homeowners. The condition still exists today, as natural trees and other vegetation continue to grow into the sight plane. Appeals to homeowners associations who have tree height restrictions and sight preservation stipulations go unheeded and ignored. As a homeowner association vitally concerned with view preservation because of the esthetics, we are also very aware of the economic fact that view deterioration can reduce property values significantly. Major real estate firms in the city have stated emphatically that one tree obstructing views will reduce home values, by $100,000 and probably more in todays market. We have exhausted all avenues to resolve this situation. Our association has entire streets where views and historical landmarks have been lost behind a 50' -60' tree. 'The city has been doing their part in trimming on public land but the private homeowners have not been cooperative. These trees could be cut to near roof top level, since additional heighth does not enhance the value or quality of living for the occupant. The HVHCA Board of Directors, Officers and members strongly recommend step #2. We ask the policy be advanced to an ordinance so enforcement can begin. This situation cannot continue as it is. We have pictures and information available to you to assist in rendering a decision. cc: Parks Commission City Council ,Sincerely', 4:on Bett e Wharto irpersons, view Preservation Comm., HVHCA ply, co qr C q CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Marine Department Item No. 11 • January 19, 1989 TO: PARK, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Marine Department SUBJECT: EXPANDED HOURS 40 -44TH STREET - "NO SURFING ZONE" Recommendation: If desired, the Park, Beaches and Recreation Commission, in conjunction with the Marine Department, will recommend to the City Council that "Board Surfing" be banned "all hours" in the 40 -44th Street "No Surfing Zone" from May 1st thru October 31st. Background: Currently, Resolution No. 9451 bans surfing between 40th and 44th Streets, May ist thru October 31st from 8:00 a.m, to 6:00 p.m. Last year, after citizen and council members input, the Marine Department, through "Policy ", established the 40 -44th Street area as "Blackballed" from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. This was an additional 4 hours of board free time per day for 6 months • of the year. While this was well received by the boogie boarder and swimmer population in the area, there was some resistance by surfers who wanted to use the 40 -44 area before 8:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. Enforcement was complicated because of signs which stated 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. while policy had become 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. This discrepancy meant at least one lifeguard was needed to enforce the policy during the extended hours. In addition to the "expanded hours" policy implemented last season, a survey was conducted to monitor usage during different times of the day. By mid summer, usage in the 40 -44th Street zone by boogie boarders and swimmers was approaching the same level as surfer usage in the adjacent 4 block zones during the hours of additional coverage. Conclusion: There was a demand for a board free zone during the expanded hours. The area was utilized by both boogie boarders and swimmers. An "all hours" ban on boards in the 40 -44th Street zone would accomplish 3 Marine Department goals: 1) It would eliminate theCoonflicting usage during transition periods. 2) It would allow the City to properly sign the 40 -44th Street zone, with Municipal Code /Council Resolution and Policy no longer in conflict. 3) It would provide a West Newport "board free zone" for boogie 6 boarders and swimmers in the early morning and late evening. • Attached is Resolution No. 9451. On page 2, paragraph 1, the "Strike Out" would'accomplish'the desired results. John Blauer, Lieutenant Marine Safety Department JB:Ia 0 0 Item No. 14 Parks & Recreation City of Newport Beach, 3300 Newport Blvd, Newport Beach, Ca. 92658 -8915 January 14, 1989 Attention: Mr. John Kowner Dear Sir: RE: Bonita Creek Park I reside at 3184 Corte Hermosa, directly backing onto the park, in fact I look into the red - roofed clubhouse. I was fortunate to attend the meeting last week and made representations to the Board. After my submission, a comment was made by yourself to one of the other citizens that I thought required a response. When he suggested that the lighting situation was unfair to the homeowners, you rather flippantly implied that it was their problem since they were informed of a lighted facility to be built on the site. I must take strong exception to your position. I enclose a copy of the "Disclosure Statement" provided to us. Paragraph 2 indicates that "night lighted fields will be constructed on the park site ". I submit to you that there is a duty on the Bren Company and the City of Newport Beach to make full and complete disclosure. Surely, when you allow a Doctor to perform surgery on your body you expect to make an informed decision before you give your consent. If you fail to ask the correct questions this will not absolve the Doctor from giving you all the possible results and complications. To suggest that the residents of this Tract consented to the abortion across the street is a mean joke. This would have been a more appropriate disclosure: "This subdivision is adjacent to a public park. It will include two full size baseball diamonds, a combined soccer and football field, a single basketball court, a childrens playground, and a red - roofed clubhouse facility. Every square foot of this park will be utilized for the above- mentioned purposes. The entire park will be floodlit with about 75 reflective floodlights, mounted about six to a post, each post ascending approximately 60 feet in the air.These lights will be utilized substantially all year and could be on as late as 11 p.m. every night. The amount of candle power given off by these lights will be such overkill that you will not need to light the interior of your house. Due to the multitude of activities crammed onto this site, you can expect very large crowds, particularly in summer, with consequent crowd noise. Expect particularly high levels of disturbance if you adjoin La Vida since the park was planned with all facilities on that side of the field rather than the side adjoining MacArthur Blvd. Expect to hear basketball dribbling at all hours of the day or night, as we have provided for a night light -1q • adjacent to the backboard. The roof of the Clubhouse will be the brightest possible red." 0 0 I paid $10,000.00 more for my lot over an interior lot, since it had an unobstructed view. In fact with the proper disclosure, I would never have purchased this lot. The City and Bren should take responsibility for this and re -think this park. My suggestion is that all lights be removed. No one to this mess and think I the courts would agree. —1� on Cox Pat Cox Bren Co.

The entire program has been relocated to the Grant Howald Community Youth'Center. Fitness classes are also recording high registration figures. The relocated programs are maximizing the use of the Youth Center's activity room during peak hours, Monday- Friday. The birthday party package which features the use of gymnastics equipment is also utilizing the activity room on Saturdays. Winter registration for tennis classes is lower than last year, most likely due to the colder than usual winter. Planning is already beginning for the Corona del Mar Scenic'5K, scheduled for Saturday, June 10, 1989. The popular run is again co- sponsored by the Corona del Mar Chamber of Commerce. Youth Activities The basketball season has begun for elementary age youth and pee wees, with practices scheduled at elementary school sites and games scheduled at the West Newport Community Center gymnasium. The relocation of the program to the West Newport Community Center for Saturday games has been well received. After - school activities are in full swing at both Mariners Park and the Grant Howald Community Youth Center following the winter vacation schedule. Adult Sports /Aquatics Winter /Spring softball registration ended January 20, and a total of 74 teams are scheduled to play in the new league. This year's registration represents an increase of 30 teams over last year, and 50 teams over the first winter league conducted in 1987. Adult basketball got underway during the month with 49 teams playing in the West Newport gym; an additional twenty (20)teams were turned away due to a lack of available gym space. The sailing program is down over last year, most likely due to the unusually -cold weather. Older Adults Services Although it took a long time, the Arts and Crafts Room is now completed with the addition of heavy duty work tables and custom cabinets. The Friends of Oasis, under the supervision of Alice Hawley, are purchasing the required tools and supplies for the building. The Friends are planning an Open House on Wednesday, February 8, at 2:30 P.M., with classes scheduled to begin on February 6. A Caregivers Support Group began during January which received press coverage in local newspapers. The group, led by Celeste Jardine -Haug and Mary Allen, will meet on the first and third Wednesdays. The Friends Human Services Committee is collecting donations of clothing and blankets for agencies which serve the homeless and low income, and the results have been dramatic. The schedule of activities for February is attached. G%W/� rk 'D even N Y 4� i b Y O' U (o !' L4 a m O O O Ln ON N1 r O !
