Item #1 - Call to Order I
The meeting of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
was called to order at 7:03 P.M.
Item #2 - Roll Call I
Roll call was taken. Commissioners Brenner, Grant, Herberts
Konwiser, Springer, Taft and Vandervort were present.
_Item #3 - Approval of Minutes - Meeting of April 4, 1989 I
P
Commissioner Herberts amended the minutes under Item #9,
Balboa Bay Club Lease, second paragraph, to read ±26 acres,
rather than 4.4 acres. Commissioner Herberts then moved the
minutes of the April 4, 1989 meeting be approved as
corrected. Unanimous.
Item #4 - Adoption of Agenda 1
I
The agenda was adopted as presented.
II. ACTION ITEMS
Item #5 - Tennis Court - Lighting, San Joaquin Hills Park
Mark Deven reported'this item was continued from the last
meeting and the Commission directed staff to develop
operational procedures, regulations and signage which would
relate to tennis participants the seriousness of the pro-
posed project. Staff felt that revising the maximum lighting
time to 9:00 P.M. and signing in large, red bold letters
would serve this purpose. He pointed out that such signing
has had some success at certain volleyball court locations
where there have been complaints.

Mr. Deven read the rules and regulations for the proposed
lighted tennis courts and noted that the residents in
Jasmine Creek received this information prior to tonight's
meeting. He reported he had talked to many of the residents
who are not in favor of the project and, as a result, if
the Commission has any doubt as to the effectiveness of the
proposed regulations, the project should be denied.
Chair Konwiser reported the changes made in the conditions
have been an attempt by staff to mitigate the situation.
He then opened the meeting to Public Testimony to those
who favor the proposed lighting project.
Candace Mason, tennis instructor at San Joaquin Hills Park
for the City, addressed the Commission. She reported there
is no lighted facility in the Corona del Mar area; players
would have to go elsewhere or join a private club. She
said if the courts were lit, revenue could be doubled and
•
she could keep all her students.
There being no further testimony in favor of the lights,
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to those opposed.
Andrew L. Thompson, 4 Jetty Drive, addressed the Commission.
He thanked Mark Deven for answering all the calls and ques-
tions and stated he was present to urge denial of the
project since the courts are too close to the homes. He
reported he has looked at other courts in the community and
in each case none are as close to the courts as they are in
Jasmine Creek.
He referred to the constant stream of profanity, loud radios
and occasional late parties which disturb his sleep. He
also pointed out the Planning Commission considered the
same idea in 1981 and it was rejected due to the same
burdens on the homeowners. The situation has not changed
since that time.
Richard Haspel, 16 Shoal Drive, addressed the Commission.
Representing the Board of Directors at Jasmine Creek, he
reported the Board unanimously backs Mr. Thompson's position.
Eugene Hancock, 2 Jetty Drive, addressed the Commission. He
passed out a map of the area which he reviewed comparing
•
the court locations in relationship to the homes at San
Joaquin Hills, Mariners Park and Las Arenas Park. Homes at
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
irks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
Page 3
City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
other parks located 160 -170' away from courts still have
noise. The Jasmine homes are only 25' from the courts
which makes it even worse. He also referred to the Planning
Commission hearing in 1981 and the problems which still
exist, stating he bought his home on the premise that the
courts would only be used during the,day.
Commissioner Grant asked Mr. Hancock for his view of the
problem during supervised instruction versus unsupervised
instruction. He replied it is still a problem and he wants
the project denied.
Judy Hunter, 8 Jetty Drive, addressed the Commission. She
stated she is against the project since the lights would
face their bedrooms. As it is now, her patios are very
close to the courts and tennis balls hit her roof and also
go into their patios which is very frightening when the
players look for their balls on their premises. At present,
it is too noisy and annoying; profanity is bad and radios
•
are at full blast, which she feels should be prohibited.
She stated they, too, bought their home on the assumption
the courts would not be lit.
Carl Bergkvist, Attorney for Nellie Carter at 6 Jetty Drive,
addressed the Commission. He thanked Mark Deven for all his
assistance and reported he reviewed the courts at other
locations which are not in close proximity to the homes.
His client lives only 40' away from the courts and the
nuisance and noise are taking away from the enjoyment of
her property. He suggested other parks would be more suited
to lighting and that it would be an unfair burden to light
the courts at San Joaquin Hills when there are better
alternatives.
During discussion, Commissioner Taft stated that since he
felt the developer was negligent in allowing homes to be
built so close to the,courts, he would abstain from voting.
Due to all the arguments against the project, particularly
the loud profanity, he suggested a better location be sought.
Commissioner Herberts stated she was in favor of denying
the project.
•
Commissioner Grant stated he favored the project of having
a lighted court for public use upon certain conditions and
suggested looking at Grant Howald and Irvine Terrace Parks
for possible lighting.
SCommissioner
Brenner arrived at 7:30 P.M.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
Page 4
City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Chair Konwiser advised the Irvine Terrace courts were
approved on the condition they would never be lighted.
Director Whitley advised the San Joaquin Hills courts are
the only ones where a conduit was built during initial
construction so that the courts might be lit in the future.
The other courts could not be proposed because there is no
underground structure to allow lighting at a reasonable cost
Commissioners Springer and Vandervort agreed the situation
is not workable due to the close proximity of the homes.
Commissioner Vandervort recommended the courts be signed
as to hours of play and no radios.
Commissioner Brenner stated there is probably no location
in this area where courts can be lit. Commissioner Grant
agreed, noting that lights were installed at Corona del Mar
High School but are not used since the public is against
•
them.
Director Whitley advised the City paid for the lights at
Corona del Mar High School which were shielded and adjusted
to everyone's satisfaction, however, when Proposition 13
was passed in 1978, the School District decided they
couldn't afford the utility bill. The $20,000 allotted for
lights at San Joaquin Hills could pay the energy bills at
the high school as a compromise.

Item #6 - Dock Construction, Newport Aquatics Center
ock Construc
ion, Newport
Director Whitley gave a brief background of the Aquatic
kquatics
Center facility. The property is co -owned by the City and
enter
County with the City being the lead agency in administering.
The local homeowners didn't want anything that would attract
a large number of people. The Dover Shores Community
Association wanted the fingers dredged on North Star Beach
for dock purposes which was denied and precedent set that
•
dredge material should not be placed on a public beach.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
Page 5
City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Mr. Whitley referred to the report submitted, noting a need
for a dock at the facility, however, the problem involves
the dredge material, not the excavation material.
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony for
those favoring the project. Mr. Curtis Fleming, One
Whitecliffs and President of the Aquatic Center Board,
addressed the Commission. He reviewed the non - profit
organization's many benefits to the community and explained
they cannot operate without a dock. They have received
approval and permission from the Army Corps of Engineers
acting as the lead agency and the Coastal Commission to
excavate and build a dock. He explained the area to be
dredged,and excavated which would be distributed on site
resulting in no net gain of material. They just received
the soils report which shows the material compatible - 12%
silt and 88t sand at the lowest level.and similar to
existing materials. The material would simply be distribute
•
from one place to another on site.
Commissioner Herberts questioned the involved agencies'
approval to put the materials on site and Mark Deven advised
the environmental approval process did not see a problem
excavating on site; the concern is over the dredging
material.
Director Whitley advised that the permit for the constructio
of a dock has been approved by Council, however, the permit
does not address the dredge and excavation material to make
a lagoon.
Commissioner Brenner inquired as to costs and Mr. Fleming
stated it would cost $125,000 to haul, to sea and $60,000
by land. He also advised the excavation /dredge material
is basically the same as that on site and that the dredge
material is like that in the preserve area.
Tony Melum, Tidelands Administrator for the City, addressed
the Commission and explained the dredge and excavation
material.
Commissioner Grant suggested the excavation material be
spread and the dredge material could be hauled away and then
it could legally be later put under the building pad, so
•
why not just put it there.

arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
,Bruce
Ibbetson, 424 San Bernardino and member of the
Aquatics Board, addressed the Commission. He stated they
are proposing to spread the material, which is the same,
on site. The beach was built of dredge fill and they won't
be adding to it, but will be re- distributing what is there.
He pointed out the Center's benefit to the community for
the handicapped, teaching and Olympians; and that the dock
is vital to sustaining their activities. He asked the
Commission to consider the approvals and reports of the
professionals.
There being no further testimony in favor of the project,
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to those opposed.
Lane Kolnvek, 610 Tustin Avenue and President of the
Friends of the Newport Bay, addressed the Commission. He
reported their organization has 1.500 members and it has
always been their interest that the Bay be used for the
public. They supported the Center originally and also
•
support the dock. They are opposed to placing the dredge
and excavation material on the beach that is too high now.
Excavation of the lagoon would be shallow and the sediment
would be put on the beach again. When the dredge material
comes up, it smells and should not be put on the beach.
Ray Williams, Environmental Biology Teacher at Rio Hondo
College, addressed the Commission. Mr. Williams presented
an analysis of different sand using sieves and showed that
the sand at North Star Beach is not of good quality and
should not be added since it would not enhance the environ-
ment. There would also be a maintenance problem and he
suggested that if the beach is to be improved, good sand
will have to be put on it.
,Frank Robinson, 1007 Nottingham Road, addressed the
Commission. He clarified the conditions of the nature of
the approvals from the environmental agencies which regulate
activity in the Upper Bay. The project was approved with
the exception of grading and dredging permits to be
authorized by the City. None of the agencies involved
conditioned the removal of the excavation and dredge
material from the site. The option to dispose of the
material on or off site was left to the discretion of the
Aquatic Center or the City and /or the County as joint
owners of the property.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
He stated the material in question would never be approved
for other beaches. Proper use of the public beach requires
a master plan to develop an improvement program. He
pointed out that on the east side there is a 100' x 200' pa
area. Should the excavation material be taken out, some
material could be put on the pad site and eventually used
as the foundation for the Phase 2 building. Mr. Robinson
stated he supports the dock except for the proposed accom-
modation of excavation and dredge material which should be
removed from the site.
Mr. Gary Lovell, 1201 Dove Street, addressed the Commission.
He voiced his concern over possible toxic substance and
stated that, if ,approved, no dredging or excavation
material be put on North Star Beach; if so, there should be
a monitoring program.
Bruce Ibbetson, 424 San Bernardino, addressed the Commission
again and gave his background in environmental science.
He referred to the muck and mud which is silt from standing
water. Since the material is the same as on the beach, they
want to redistribute it on the beach. He reported that
Permit #88 -305 from the Army Corps of Engineers states they,
could spread over the remaining portion of the site.
Bob Cannon, 19552 Sierra Canon in Irvine, addressed the
Commission. As a member of the Aquatic Center Board, he
stated there are times when precedents should be modified.
There is a prospective use for a beach and the true bene-
ficiary of the project is the community as a whole.
Following close of Public Testimony, there was some discus-
sion over the precedent issue. Commissioner Grant asked
Tony Melum of the City if, when the Dover Shores project
was refused permission to dump on the site, if in fact,
this would be bringing in non - similar material from off
site. Mr.. Melum.answered yes, this was true, however;
this case is--d,ifferent because it is similar material
already on site.
Commissioner Taft stated he favors a dock but the question
is the disposal of the dredge material which he prefers to
be off site.
•
Commissioner Springer concurred and suggested a fundraiser
or user fee be used to pay for removal. Eventually the
'beach will have to be improved as it gets more crowded.

Commissioner Grant stated he•would approve with certain
conditions, namely, any future dredging should be removed
off site; and that the dredge material be put under the
building pad subject to soil tests pursuant to the City
Building Codes.
Commissioner Herberts agreed the Aquatic Center is of great
benefit, however, she would like to see a lovely beach
and would not vote for it as a dump site. Eventually the
land will be developed as a beach for recreation purposes
and there would be costs to the City for the material to
be removed.. She said she supports staff's recommendations
Items #1 and #2 and agrees with Commissioner Taft that a
master plan is necessary for the whole area.
Director Whitley advised the Dover Shores homeowners feel
comfortable with what exists; they are not in a hurry for
public enhancement due to congestion problems.
•
Chair Konwiser stated that North Star Beach, although a
valuable piece of land, doesn't resemble a beach and is not
obstructive to homeowners. Since the City gets benefits
from the Center, they could be asked to help pay for the
removal. The material could be used under the proposed
building as a compacted fill later.

Commissioner Brenner left the meeting at 10:00 P.M..
Item #7 - Appeal of Street Tree Committee Decision, 504
Appeal of
Street Tree
Redlands
Committee
Director Whitley referred to Mr. and Mrs. Winter's letter
Decision
appealing the Street Tree Committee's decision to remove
two Silk Oak trees.
Chair Konwiser opened the meeting to Public Testimony and
Mrs. Freda Winter, 504 Redlands, addressed the Commission.
She stated she is appealing the removal of the trees and
was never informed as to why her request was denied. She
presented a petition from her neighbors on the 400 and 500
blocks of Redlands supporting her request. She noted
•
Redlands used to be lined with Silk Oaks but now there are
only four, two of which are at their property. She feels
the trees are unsightly and wants them removed for their
landscape project. She would like the trees replaced
further back since they are now too close to the curb.
Commissioner Herberts reported the Designated Tree for
Redlands is the Southern Magnolia. She would have no ob-
jection if the trees were replaced by the City within
City boundaries and the owner pay for removal and replace-
ment.
Chair Konwiser stated he supports the removal and replace-
ment with the Designated Tree.
Commissioner Herberts explained that, should another species
be desired, it can be requested of the Street Tree Committee
and approved by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.
Commissioner Taft asked if a deposit should be required to
guarantee installation and Commissioner Springer explained
this has never been required and should be discussed later.
Chair Konwiser suggested the money be paid before removal
and replacement.
i
Commissioners Grant, Herberts and'Vandervort agreed that
should the Designated Tree be changed, 75% of the neighbor-
hood agree subject to staff approval. Director Whitley
1I
advised this can be implemented into Department policy.

replacement of the two City trees at 504 Redlands, type to

tree to be planted. Unanimous.
Commissioner Herberts explained to'Mrs. Winter that the
trees will be removed after June 6, 1989. She recommended
the neighbors be solicited for their input should a species
other than Southern Magnolia be desired. If nothing is
heard from them by June 6, the trees will be Southern
Magnolia as designated on the street tree list. . --
Staff was requested to review policy regarding payment and
changing tree types for the next meeting.
Item #8 - Beach Volleyball Applications
Beach Volley-
ball
Commissioner Taft reviewed the Beach and Oceanfront
Applications
•
Committee's recommendations and announced that Recommenda-
tion #2 be limited to Lugonia, not Colton Street.
Following Commissioner Taft's summation of the volleyball
court application process, Chair Konwiser opened the
meeting to Public Testimony.
Dona Colombero, 1003 E. Balboa Boulevard, addressed the
Commission as to Recommendation #1 at 1011 E. Balboa Blvd.
She stated she does not want additional volleyball courts
in this area. If necessary, they should be located further
down at 1017. Her reasons included problems with drinking;
courts too close to the Pier, fire rings and park; and
there are already enough courts in the afrea.
Bill Mais, 1013 E. Balboa Blvd., addressed the Commission.
He stated the court at 1009 was moved and he would like it
replaced at the level area which is a good place to play.
The court at 1017 is dirty due to ice plant and sticker
weed.
Mark Deven advised he received a call from Mrs. Everett at
1011 E. Balboa Blvd. who wants the court in front of -1009
120' out from the sidewalk.
•
Leslie Williams, 1013 E. Balboa, addressed the Commission
and referred to the "semi private" court at 1017 where she
witnessed the owner asking other players not to play at this
site.

Commissioner Taft referred to Recommendation #2, Lugonia
at Oceanfront, and stated discussion should be limited to
Lugonia. If Colton Street is to be considered, the proper
volleyball application process must be followed.
Helen McNair, 6510 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission.
She recommended another site since a new play park was
just built and there will be problems with children crossin
at the same site as volleyball players.
Joan McNair, 6510 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission.
She agreed no court should be installed due to the children's
play area,.
•
Doug Cortez, 6606 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission to
oppose the Lugonia court. He said there are three tandem
courts at 66th -69th Streets which attract large crowds
and are used every day from morning to dusk, resulting in
overflowing trash cans, etc., which is unfair to those
who live there. Other courts a block down are not as heavily
used. He referred to Tom Christensen's letter wherein
the West Newport Beach Association supports opposition to
courts proposed at Lugonia Street. He said he would like
to work for rules that more fairly distribute volleyball
activity and nuisance along the beach.
Steve Foley, 5505 Seashore, addressed the Commission. He
feels the problem is with the tandem courts which allow
congregation and draw huge crowds. The more professional
players now play at Colton and a community member can't
get on.
Doug Edlund, 6604 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission.
He stated he can see ten courts from his house and the tan-
dem courts are used regularly; the rest are not. He
suggested one court at Lugonia and posting of volleyball
rules.
John Tyree, 208 Lugonia, addressed the Commission. He felt
players should be reminded of the rules of challenging play.
•
He recommended one court at Lugonia and decentralization of
the courts along the beach.
Madeline Lottes, 6601 Seashore, addressed the Commission.
She stated players don't want courts moved toward the river
��
bed due to the windy conditions.

Bill Thomas,, 6604 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission.
He recommended a balance of courts so as not to cause over-
crowding and favors one court at Lugonia.
Bill Bennett, 226 Lugonia, addressed the Commission. Due to
more players, he feels more courts are needed and favors
two at Lugonia.
Mark Deven reported he received a call from Mr. Dawson,
6506 West Oceanfront, favoring installation at Lugonia.
He received a call from Gina Watkins, 6408 W. Oceanfront,
and Mr. and Mrs. Lightner opposing the courts at Lugonia.
Motion
Commissioner Taft moved the application for the two courts
at Lugonia be denied.
Motion
x
Following discussion, Commissioner Vandervort made a
Ayes
x
x
x
x
x
x
substitute motion to approve one court at Lugonia to be
•
located 150' out. Unanimous.
Commissioner Herberts recommended consideration be given to
eliminating tandem courts. This will be reviewed by the
Beach and Oceanfront Committee.
Commissioner Taft referred to Recommendation #3, 12th
Street and Oceanfront, and reported the original court was
placed too close to the School Yard and basketball court,
therefore, they are recommending installation at the end of
12th Street and Oceanfront.
Bruce Torczak, 1228 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission.
He stated two metal poles were removed last winter and he
would like them reinstalled. In the application being
presented, the School Yard is 200' away.
Phillip Quarre, 1440 W. Oceanfront, addressed the Commission
opposing the location at 12th Street. The courts at 12th
Street resulted in large crowds, litter and profanity,
denying him peaceful use of his home. Since there is a
recreation facility at 13th Street, he suggested putting
the courts in east of this 150 -200' from the sidewalk where
they wouldn't interfere with children's activities.
Mr. Deven advised that he was contacted by Roy Lewis, 1200
W. Oceanfront, who indicated his support for the court
location at a minimum 150' seaward at the 12th St. end.

SUBJECT: MECHANICAL BLOWERS
A few months ago, the Commission had reviewed the Ordinance that identifies
and regulates the use of mechanical blowers used primarily by gardeners.
Since that time a number of individuals have expressed'a desire to prohibit
their use in the City.
Therefore, a further review and recommendation to be made to the City Council
is requested of the Commission.

THE DIRT ON NEWPORT BEACH
The peace and tranquility of Newport Beach and ad-
jacent cities was suddenly shattered by the Newport
Beach City Council about a decade ago.
They approved the appeals of gardeners to blow the
debris they had loosened up onto the adjacent lawns,
houses, and streets: thus avoiding sacking up and haul-
ing the debris to the dump. Maybe they saved about
five minutes per stop.
Our elected officials, in their infinite wisdom, decided .
that their constituents would be best served by submit -
t}ng to the ear splitting noise and the clouds of dust enter-
_z their houses. Whv?
., Did the gardeners have a powerful lobby or a persua-
sive spokesman? I can't believe that it must be that the
Council simply forgot that its first obligation was to
benefit the community.
I have heard many people, including current Coun-
cil members speak against this practice. None were in
favor of it. We should speak up and let our council
members know that we disapprove of these noisy, dusty
devices.
Those of you who want this acted upon have been
asked by the Parks, Beach and Recreation Commission

to write or call our office or theirs.

Dear Mr. Whitley:
May 3, 1989
I believe it is about time to recognize lawn blowers as an intolerable
nuisance.
The noise and dust pollution that these machines generate -far outweighs
whatever marginal convenience they may contribute to professional
landscape maintenance.
If one considers, as I do, noise a worse offender than natural dust, one
might hope that electrically powered quiet blowers will eventually
• replace the noisemakers now, in use -- maybe even lawn edgers.
However, nothing of the sort will ever happen unless the existing noise
makers are outlawed.
Please have that courage I
Sincerely,

BOND ISSUE FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ANALYSIS
I. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to review the practical
feasibility of placing a bond issue before the voters in
November, 1989 to acquire additional parks and open space.
II. CONCLUSIONS:
Due to time constraints and an inadequate analysis of
potential park land requirements it is recommended that no
bond issue be placed on the November, 1989 ballot for
purchase of parks and open space.
III. DISCUSSION:
P1
A. Historical Overview:
On May 11, 1988 a letter was forwarded to the City
Council (Exhibit A) suggesting, that the Council look
into the possibility of securing additional parks and
open space by way of a bond issue. The Council
reviewed the request and forwarded same to the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Department for analysis and
recommendations back to the Council.
In February, 1989 the Council received a report from
the Parks, Beaches and Recreation director (Exhibit B)
which the Council turned over to the Budget Committee
for further review and recommendations.
The Budget Committee reviewed the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Department's report. As a result of our
analysis (Exhibit C), which includes Councilman Cox''s
view that more public input is required before
proceeding and that of Councilwoman Watt who pr ented,
in writing (Exhibit D), a strategy for a tl3orough
analysis 'of our park requirements, we believe that more
work is needed before going to the voters with this
request.

IV. ACTION REQUESTED: F
It is respectfully requested that the Council return this
program to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department with
instructions to perform the following: _
A. Evaluate our present park land requirement (one acre
per one thousand) and determine if it is adequate.
B. If it is adequate, then this formula needs to be
projected into the future to determine if it can be met
in say the year 2020 and beyond assuming that the City
and the County continues to experience even a modest
population increase. The idea being to think far into
the future and commit ourselves to preserving the
quality of life for those who may succeed us.
C. Prepare reasonable estimates as to how our park
requirements might be met from conventional sources.
D. Explore in greater detail the central park versus mini
park concepts outlined briefly in Exhibit C.
E. Once the requirements have been established, prepare a
program designed to gain the cooperation/ input of the
public to, help ascertain the commitment which the
public may have to the program. Something like the
Outreach System the Council employed to dialogue with
the public while updating the general plan might be a
starting place.
F. Report back to the Council every six months with a
status report.

Mr. Robert Wynn, City Manager
City of Newport Beach
3300 Newport Boulevard
Newport Beach, CA 92663
Dear Mr. Wynn:
It seems that the subject of perserving open space comes up at
virtually every public hearing. Always there is a reoccuring
theme. The people would like to have the open space preserved
but the space in question belongs to a private owner and the
underlying theme is that the city should buy it or the property
owner preserve it for the benefit of the public. Personally, I
have no problems with the city buying property for open space
providing that we have the financial wherewithal to accomplish
that goal. On the other hand, it is difficult to require private
property owners to give up a portion of their property for the
public unless there is a major development involved. Quite
obviously., there are few, major developments left to occur within
the City of Newport Beach. Yet, the requests for more open space
continue to roll in.
Perhaps it is time to place a bond issue on the ballot and
determine if the people really want to tax themselves for
additional park land within the city. It is my understanding
that there was such an issue on the ballot a few years ago, but
it failed to pass by a few percentage points. Maybe the climate
has turned around and this time such a proposition could receive
the required votes which I believe is two - thirds of the votes
cast.

FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: BOND ISSUE FOR PARK AND OPEN SPACE
Councilman Clarence Turner has suggested that the City Council review
the advisability of placing on the November ballot a bond proposition to acquire
open space and /or parks for the city. His memo suggests that information be provided
concerning other bond propositions in the city and whether sufficient_tjme exists to
place a proposition on the November 88 ballot. _
First, the last date on which a• proposition can be placed on the November
ballot is Monday, August 8, 1988. This gives approximately 10 =11 weeks to organize
and prepare the necessary material for the election.
Second, the city on June 6, 1972 placed three bond propositions on the
ballot. One (Prop F) was for $3,560,000 for Park and Recreational Purposes including

On March 8, 1977 the city voted upon a bond issue for $7,130,000 for land

therefore failed the 66 2/3 requirement of the election's code.
In all of the bond issues stated herein the Parks, Beaches & Recreation
Commission compiled a list of projects for acquisition and /or improvement. If the
council desires to proceed on the bond issue, it will probably be appropriate to
request the opinion of the P.B. &R. Commission and request a list of projects for
funding by the bond issue. As indicated above this should be done within 11 weeks
( to meet the requirement of the election's code.

Private Open Space Management
Open Space-and environmentally sensitive area.management guidelines will be
established by the City to address appropriate land uses and management techniques
for sensitive areas. The City's existing Open Space Zone should be amended so
that it can be applied both as a primary zone and as an overlay zone in conjunction
with other zones such as the residential-zone. The overlay zone could then be
adopted for private open space areas with appropriate management guidelines.
Potential properties include lower Buck Gully, lower Morning Canyon and properties
which include environmentally sensitive areas as a part of a development area
such as Westbay, Newporter North and Buck Gully and are designated in the Specific
Implementation Recommendations.
Management guidelines should detail:
• permitted land uses
• buffering of land uses
permitted level of public access
impacts from adjacent areas such as drainage and runoff
acceptable improvements for physical access or emergency safety repairs
appropriate management responsibility
appropriate building setbacks
permitted landform modifications
• Parks are proposed in the plan as residential development occurs. This has been
our traditional way of developing our park system over the past 10 -15 years.
Our system has had important additions in the past four years and although
we have deficiencies in older sections of the City, our overall park and
recreation opportunity to the public is in good shape.

TO: Mayor and City Council RECYCLED REPORT — 3/13/89
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: .BOND ISSUE FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
BACKGROUND
On June 27, 1988, the City Council directed the staff to work with the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission to prepare a list with appropriate costs
that could be possible projects for a park and open space bond issue. The
Commission and a subcommittee, formed specifically to accomplish this task,
has met and discussed this topic a number of times. To present this matter
in an accurate and helpful manner, it is necessary to review and analyze
the Recreation and Open Space Element of the Newport Beach General Plan and
determine projects recommended for implementation that merit consideration
for a bond issue.
".' RECREATION'AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS
NE PORT BEACH GENERAL PLAN
In February of 1985, the. City Council adopted a revised Recreation and Open
Space Element of the General Plan. This Element was produced with significant
involvement of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and staff prior to
the adoption by the City Council. An important segment of the Plan was an
implementation program whereby deficiencies in the park system could be acquired
and developed in the future.
i COMPLETED PROJECTS
Using the Implementation Plan, the following indicates successful completion
since 1985:
1. West Newport Park developed.
2. Bonita Creek Park developed.
3. Mouth of Big Canyon acquired through Park Dedication procedures.
• 4. Lincoln School - Leased and currently being refurbished.
5. Old School Park.
6. Oasis Expansion, 2 acre acquisition.

All of the Banning projects will occur as residential
development is approved. As there is not a need for
these locations until residential projects are built,
it is felt that it would be prudent to acquire and
develop the public areas in our traditional manner.

• POSSIBLE BOND PROVISIONS
It has been indicated that consideration should be given to include, in a bond
issue the possibility of:
1. A reserve fund (amount to be determined) for acquisition of small
parcels as they come on the market to be developed into mini parks.
2. A development fund for property acquired through the Park
Dedication,Ordinance.
3. Maintenance funds to be used to maintain new acquisition and
development.
4. An acquisition fund to purchase privately owned land for park
or open space purposes.
COST ESTIMATES
Land Land costs would range from $500,000 to $1,000,000
per acre depending on location and appraisals may
determine different numbers.
Development from 00 an acre
of development.
Maintenance Range from $10,000 annually per acre for minimal
maintenance to $50,000 annually per acre for full
service manicured maintenance.

As previously mentioned, the City on June 6, 1972 placed three
bond propositions on the ballot. One (Proposition F) was for
$1,560,000 for Park and Recreational Purposes including the acquisi-
tion of sites and provision for open space. This measure received
58.3% "yes" votes and therefore failed since 66 -2/3 "yes" vote was
required. The second measure (Proposition G) was for $2,425,000
for Park and Recreational Facilities and Improvements, Furnishings
and Equipment. This measure received 56.5% "yes" votes and was
defeated. The third measure (Proposition H) was for $3,000,000
for Park and Recreational Purposes and Open Space. This measure
received 53.1% "yes" votes and also failed.
On March 8, 1977 the City voted upon a bond issue for $7,130,000
• for land acquisition and park improvements. This proposition re-
ceived 61.5% "yes" votes and therefore failed the 66 -2/3 requirement
of the election's code.

• 2. Lease Back - A sufficient amount of information has not been obtained
to determine if this funding technique is viable for acquisition
purposes.
3. Foundation, Non - Profit - Foundations for open space purposes are
historically regional, state and national in scope. A grass root
local foundation would probably identify many interested parties
but their capability to generate large amounts is questionable.
4. Park Acquisition Agreements - Technique whereby future development
is reviewe and advance dedication of park requirements can be
negotiated with major landowners.
j1 SUMMARY
The City Council should determine:
1. Specific locations for acquisition and development.
2. Determine approximate size of selected locations.
3. Determine level of development for specific locations.
4. Determine if maintenance funds are desirable in a bond
proposal.
In conclusion, our park system has grown significantly in the past decade.
Through normal budget procedures it can be assumed that additional parks will
be acquired and developed in the fashion that has enabled us to reach the
current level. If a strong desire is determined to acquire larger amounts
of park or open spaces, the people, through the bond process, could be given
the opportunity to decide this issue. As an alternative, the City Council
could negotiate park and open space agreements.

February 16, 1989
TO: Ron Whitley, Parks, Beaches and Recreation.Department Director
FROM: Patricia Temple, Principal Planner
SUBJECT: Park Bond Initiative Information
As you requested, the following information is provided regarding the
entitlement and park dedication for the sites anticipated to be involved a
potential park bond initiative.
Castaways, The Castaways Site is a 65 acre site and lis allocated 151
dwelling units in the Newport Beach General Plan. The Recreation and Open
Space Element designates ten acres of the site for a special view park. The
dwelling units allocated to the site would result in a 1.7 acre dedication,
and the mandatory bluff setback will result in an additional 3.8 acres left
as open space. The balance of the 10 acres would either have to be acquired
from The Irvine Company or negotiated into the public domain.
Newporter North: The Newporter North site is 88 acres in size and is
allocated 212 dwelling units in the General Plan. The Recreation and Open
" Space Element designates 4 acres for a special view park. The dwelling
units allocated to the site would result in a 2.4 acre park dedication, and
the mandatory bluff setback will result in an additional 1.8 acres left as
open space. This site also contains a significant archaeological site (t25
acres) which is designated as Recreational and Environmental Open Space.
CalTrans West: The CalTrans West site is approximately 11 acres in size and
is allocated 154 dwelling units in the Newport Beach General Plan. The
.Recreation and Open Space Element designates ±2 acres for a lineal view
park. The dwelling units allocated to this site would result in park
dedication or fees for 1.7 acres.
Bayview Landis: The gross size of the Bayview Landing site is 19 acres,
but the size will be reduced by the various right -of -way dedications
required for the Coast Highway widening project and the improvements at the
intersection of Coast Highway and Jamboree Road. The General Plan
designates the upper pad level ( ±10 acres) for Recreational and
Environmental Open Space, with the entire area dedicated to the 'City at the
time development of the lower pad level is approved. The lower pad is
designated for Retail and Service Commercial, and is allocated 10,000 sq.ft.
• �p for restaurant use or 40 „000 sq.ft, for athletic club use.

TO: Members of the Newport Beach City Council
FM: Clarence J. Turner
RE: PARK BOND PROPOSAL
The Budget Committee (John Cox, Bus Turner, Don Strauss) met to
discuss the proposed Park Bond Proposition. After a thorough
discussion of the issue, it appears that there are three
possibilities which should be pursued. We further agreed that it
would be helpful to informally poll the balance of the Council to
obtain their viewpoints before proceeding. The three main
possibilities to pursue are as follows:
1. Central Park Concept.
One possibility is to pursue a Central Park concept.
Meaning, that a site such as the Castaways or the Newporter
North property could serve as a major park for all of
Newport. There are pros and cons for both of these
properties which need further analysis;
A. Castaways
This is an excellent location and provides an excellent
view for a park. Also the Irvine Company has indicated
a willingness to sell a portion of the site to tie in
with the park dedication property that 'they will have
to dedicate if they develop the property. The price is
approximately $1,000,000 per acre. Apparently they are
willing to sell all or a part of it providing that they
get the proper credits for their park dedication.
Roughly, the perimeter of the site is to be dedicated
for open space park land if and when the entire site is
developed.
A down side to this particular location is the cost per
�. acre. It is approximately twice what the City
allocates for the value of park land. Further, it is
relatively close to the West Bay which will soon become
a reality. Although, I think that this could be
overcome by changing the use of the Castaways park. If

• April 11, 1989
Page Two
the West Bay Park goes as I think it will go, that will
become a passive park and the Castaway's property could
become an active park for such uses as soccer, baseball
and other sports.
B. Newporter North
Although this site is relatively close to the Bonita
Creek site, it still has potential for a central park.
In addition it has several features which should tie in
nicely with a park. There are wet lands, archeological
sites and some bluffs which should never be used for
anything except open 'space anyway. A combination of
these features along with the usable areas may be a way
to go. To my knowledge the Irvine Company has not been
approached to determine if they would consider selling
the property to us, not to mention the price per acre.
The above are only two potential central parks which we
discussed. There may be others or we may decide that neither,of
these are practical.
Ire2. Mini Parks - Reserve Funds
Under this proposal, we would consider going to the public
for a bond issue which essentially would establish a reserve
fund to purchase mini parks as they become available. In
this scenario I would envision some kind of an allocation of
money, by district, to avoid competition for those funds and
to establish a set of rules ahead of time so that when a
park site is available within a given district, it becomes a
matter of determining whether the money is available or not
to purchase same.
3. Combination
Under this situation, it is proposed that we consider a
combination of a central park system combined with a mini
park fund. This would mean going for a larger parcel and at
the same time establishing a reserve fund for the
acquisition of mini parks as they become available. The
down side to this method is the amount of money involved.
It could be high and thus scare off the voters.
Councilwoman Watt and Councilman Cox have offered an alternate
plan to determine how the City should approach the bond issue.
Councilwoman Watt's proposal is attached for your review.
Councilman Cox verbalized his proposal.
• In the�case of Councilman Cox he believes that we should have an
►,I
• April 11, 1989
Page Three
"outreach" program to determine what the people want and what
they will support. As I understand his proposal this would
entail the gathering of a considerable amount of information,
holding public hearings, gaining support and /or opposition with
the final goal towards finding out what the people want before
proceeding.
Both the Watt and Cox method will entail time and there will not
be sufficient time to pursue either of those proposals before the
scheduled November election. If we are to pursue one of those
proposals, then I would suggest that we put off placing a
decision before the voters until 1991. I, and I believe
Councilman Cox and Mayor Strauss also believe, that a bond issue
cannot receive the 66 2/3 support needed to pass in a general
election. I believe we are all in agreement that we will be
lucky to pass such an issue even in a special election and only
then if a proper campaign is conducted.
There is also the question of 'Foundation support. Before this
can be ascertained we must come up with some kind of a plan to
approach the foundations and then proceed from there.

provided with walking and bike trails from Santa Ana River to
Newport Boulevard.
• E. After planning for maximizing open space through General Plan and
zoning ordinances, targ6t acres for acquisition through
combination of BOND funds and FOUNDATION funds as available.
Seek leaseback arrangement or development agreements in order to

II. Building Excise Tax
A. Reflect changes in cast -of- living?
B. Systems development charge as in Irvine?
III. PRIVATE Open space support
A. Establish City sponsored Foundation;
B. Develop strong Board of Directors and promotional campaign;
C. I WANT TO WORK ON THIS1 We can't lose and are bound to gain
something. We could use such a fund for acquisition of smaller
neighborhood areas.
,D. Such a Foundation would allow tax breaks for dedication of property
so would enhance other acquisition /dedication activities;
E. Such a Foundation would allow for individuals and companies to be
recognized in perpetuity;
F. Such a Foundation would should that our efforts were all- encompassing
and enhance the chances of other acquisition techniques.
IV. PARK BOND
A. A Park Bond, at best, could only hccomplish a small portion of the
whole picture.
B. What is the most we could ask per family?
1. In 1976 the Bond was for $7M + and would cost the average
family of 4 $26.40 per year.
2. Could we win a $10M bond? What would it cost the averagm,
family? What could we acquire with it? Funds would have to
be allocated to several areas in the City to get broadbased
support.
C. I think a Park Bond could be sold if it was part of a pachage deal
tot where our goals were expressed as a minimum and a maximum and were
UW to be achieved by a variety of means.
D. A Package should include:
1. 50% achievement of goals through General Plan and zoning;
2. 25% achievement of goals through transfer of development rights,
development agreements;
3. 25% achievement of goals through foundation and bond.

MAY, 1989 PROGRESS REPORT
ial Interest Activities
Item No. 11
Spring classes are being completed and registration was very good. Again, gymnastics
and Sally Stanton's dance fitness programs will carry the majority of the quarter's
revenue. Volleyball produced another sold out session as did children's dance
programs.
Summer registration began May 26 and the Department is preparing for a prosperous
quarter.
The Eighth Annual Corona del Mar Scenic Five -K will be June'10 and over 13,000 regis-
tration forms have been distributed. As of May 31, the Race is 50% full.
The Environmental Nature Center Camp is selling out quickly. This cooperative summer
venture with the Nature Center has become a real plus for the Department.
Spring Tennis Classes are almost complete and registration was very good. Summer
will see the program pick up considerably.
Youth Activities /Facilities Maintenance
The Newport Heights Memorial Day Picnic was held on May 29 with 1200 participants. The
•Recreation staff helped organize and run the games and the Parks staff assisted in
set up and clean up.
The Newport Beach Summer Surf Slamarama is scheduled for June 3 and 4. Maui and Sons
is again sponsoring the surf contest and the Department is expecting more participa-
tion due to the creation of a long board division and an open age group division.
Speed Soccer is the sport of the month. Approximately 40 children are participating
in an indoor version of soccer.
A meeting with the Youth Sport Commissioners was held in May. The major discussion
item was field use for the upcoming school year. The meeting resulted in Bonita
Creek Park being designated as a Junior All American Football facility and Lincoln
as a soccer facility. Discussion also concerned the need for major field renovation
at several park facilities.
A part -time leadership training workshop for playground staff will be held on
June 10 at Norwalk's Recreation Park. The workshop is sponsored by CPRS District X.
Adult Sports /Aquatics
The summer softball season began May 22 with 247 teams which are divided into 34
leagues in men's, women's and coed divisions. After completing spring basketball
play with 66 teams, 56 teams registered for summer play which will begin June 5.
•There are over 200 teams registered for the Department's first grass volleyball
tournament to be held at 'Bonita Creek Park on June 3 and 4.
(� Hiring for summer swim staff at Corona del Mar High School and Newport Harbor High
School was completed this month. Positions available were lifeguards and swim
instructors. Most of last year's staff will be returning making the prospects
da
for an outstanding program very realistic
will begin the week of June 12.
• Older Adult Services
•
In- service training for aquatics staff
The one large scale event during May was the Old Fashion Country Picnic. The picnic
was in celebration of Older Americans Month and over 250 people enjoyed a fried chicken
and apple pie lunch and listened to the barber shop quartet. It was a very
successful event that was coordinated by both the staff and volunteers.
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) honored the volunteers in May with a
special awards luncheon in Santa Ana. Many volunteers from Oasis belong to RSVP.
Twenty senior walkers and,3 staff members from Oasis participated in the March of
Dimes Walk America Walk- A -Thon. The walk was 12 miles and the money raised will
benefit research into birth defects.
Mary,Allen, Human Services Coordinator, retired from Oasis this month,,however, she
will continue to help on special projects. Oasis is in the process of hiring a
replacement for her.
The shared housing program has blossomed. There are quite a few names of people
with homes and even more people are looking to rent a room. It is assumed this
is indicative of the increasing cost of living alone. Many seniors are looking
for people to assist them in their home in exchange for free rent.

Dear Ron:
After sitting through my first PB &R meeting in quite some time, I was
favorably impressed by the quality of the commission, the chair, and the
staff participation, with but one exception -- the voting method. on any
•controversial issue, where there is less than unanimity, I feel that the
audience has a right to know how each commissioner votes. This would enable
a participating member of the audience to compare comments of a commissioner
with his later vote, to know how close he came to passage or failure of his
particular issue, and to get a feel for which commissioner he has to
convince in his next appearance before them.
As a result, I would request that on all such substantive and non -
unanimous issues, there either be a roll call vote, show of hands, or use of
the electric buttons, with hands or buttons being activated long enough for
the audience to identify the votes.
Thanks in advance for passing this suggestion on to the chair, vice
chair, or other interested parties.,
