DISCUSSION ITEMS Item #8 - Review Request for Peace Mile Review Request for Director Whitley reported the subject requesttto take a Peace Mile section of a park for a Peace Mile or name a park "Peace Park" is before this Commission since it concerns identifica- tion of City parks. Should the Commission decide to pursue the matter, it can be an Action Item for the Commission's September 5, 1989 meeting. Vice Chair Grant referred to the existing policy on naming parks to which this request would probably not conform. Commissioner Demmer stated she approved of the request in concept although she questions the criteria required to control the location. She would also like more information from other cities on this matter. Director Whitley advised he contacted other cities, the result of which is that the City of Los Angeles has one CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX but there seems to be no interest from smaller cities. Maintenance would also be a problem to be considered. Both Chair Taft and Commissioner Vandervort voiced their concern over problems which might occur and recommended the City not get involved. Commissioner Compton felt there -might be more interest for a federal area rather than a small community. Following a brief discussion, Chair Taft determined the majority of the Commission would like the matter dropped. He asked Director Whitley to write Ms. Drew that the Commission decided it would be best to forego any action at this time. Item #9 - Capital Projects Capital Projects • Director Whitley briefly described each project listed on the Capital Improvement Projects:Schedule which is pre- sented as a monthly status report. Vice Chair Grant requested Inspiration Point be kept on the report until the project is totally completed. He also questioned the changes taking place at Channel Park which were not reviewed by this Commission. He asked that pre - liminary schematics for all park projects be brought to this Commission for approval, including any movement of equipment within a park. These preliminary schematics should be very preliminary so that time and money are not wasted. Director Whitley explained that most projects are reviewed by this Commission and that staff works closely with the homeowner associations to comply with their requests. Chair Taft then asked the Commissioners to contact himnon any projects they would like done and he will discuss them with Director Whitley. He also recommended a supplemental report on other projects in progress be included in the capital projects report. Item #10 - Commission Committee Assignments Commission Committee • (a) Capital Improvements - No report. Assignments (b) Street Tree - Commissioner Herberts explained the Street Tree Commi.ttee's role. She also stated she received a call from Councilman Sansone concerning residents' CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX complaints over the trees chopped down at the request of the homeowners association by the School District on Harbor View School property. Commissioner Vandervort reported she felt the City should not incur any costs on this since it is School District property. Director Whitley reported Jack Brooks and he met with the City Attorney who has prepared letters in order to get compensation for illegally removed trees. Commissioner Compton asked if the City replaces illegally removed trees. Director Whitley explained most have been replaced at the owner's expense but not necessarily with a designated tree. Commissioner Vandervort suggested staff meet with the City Attorney to implement a policy on illegal tree removals. Commissioner Herberts suggested that, following approval or denial of a tree removal request, the homeowner be immediately advised by letter along with a copy of Council Policy I -9, Retention or Removal of Park and Parkway Trees, and the Ordinance which ddals with unlawful removal of same. Vice Chair Grant recommended such notifications be sent by certified or registered letter and in a form approved by legal counsel. Commissioner Demmer asked that copies of the City Attorney's letters be included in the September agenda packet. Vice Chair Grant suggested the Commissioners notify Commissioner Herberts should they see a place where it appears a tree or trees are needed. Chair Taft asked for an update on "Peoples Park" and Director Whitley explained it will be on the November ballot. (c) Recreation Program - Chair Taft asked for a report pre- senting and describing the new recreation programs.

(c) Director Whitley reported there has been no recent interest in the CYC Booster Club, however, he will pursue should there be a need. • Item #12 - Recreation Division Recreation Division Vice Chair Grant questioned the color of the scoreboard at Buffalo Hills Park which was supposed to be painted green. He also reported permission was not given to put up another scoreboard at San Miguel Park. He asked that these be put on the September agenda as Action Items. Vice Chair Grant asked if there is a policy on concession stands. Director Whitley advised they are not allowed with the exception of tournaments. Commissioner Grant suggested that the policy is unclear as it refers to "commercial." Commissioner Compton inquired as to the status of the basketball court at West Newport Park. Director Whitley advised a half court is being constructed, on the back side of the handball courts. Item #13 - Park and Street Tree Division Park and Street Tree Commissioner Vandervort asked for a status report on the Division lights and trees at the Theatre Arts Center. Director Whitley advised the lights are 50% completed and Jack Brooks will bill the developer for trees erroneously taken out.

Vice Chair Grant asked about the County Regional Park and Director Whitley advised this Commission•%.will be reviewing the plans. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • 0 I arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 7 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Vice Chair Grant questioned the liability issue at Inspiration Point and Director Whitley advised new signage will be installed. Commissioner Herberts complimented staff on the new dog signs, however, she said one needs to be installed at "L" Street Park and West Jetty Park as soon as possible. V. SPECIAL, URGENT OR LAST MINUTE ITEMS Chair Taft announced that, due to Commissioner Konwiser's absence, final seating of the Commissioners will be done at the September 5, 1989 meeting. Mrs. Evie Compton, 1 Canal Circle, addressed the Commission. She voiced her concern that the basketball court at West Newport was removed at the request of a homeowner and now the children have no place to play. She stated they were told the court would be replaced and has now learned it will be a half court. She said the community was never notified to provide input on this matter. Director Whitley explained this issue was heard by this Commission at several meetings and input received from both Newport Shores and West Newport. This was a determination based on complaints, the final decision being to remove the court and replace it with a half court due to size and location. VI. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 9:05 P.M. The agenda for this meeting was posted on July 5, 1989 at 2:10 P.M. outside the City Hall Administration Building. Dottie Flohr, Secretary Item No. 5 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department i. DATE:- August 28, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Tree Removal Appeal - 324 Signal Road The attached letter represents an appeal of the decision made by the Street Tree Committee to retain the Brazilian Pepper at 324 Signal Road. Other data included is the original request, a statement from a landscape architect and a petition signed by neighbors in the vicinity of the property owner. A visit to this location would help in making a decision on this matter. And, the appealing party has been notified that the Commission will be considering this appeal. 1° Ronald A. Whitley • 401 Signal Road Newport Beach, California 92663 August 11, 1989 Mr. Jack Brooks Street Tree Superintendent Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, California Re: 324 Signal Road • Dear Mr. Brooks: In response to your July 31 letter, I am writing to request that the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department grant me permission to remove the Brazilian Pepper tree located at my above referenced property and replace it with a healthy, approved tree. Enclosed is my July 20, 1989 letter to you in this regard together with the enclosures previously sent, which I ask PB &R to fully consider. The enclosures include copies of a petition signed by 51 Cliff Haven residents, including all of the residents on my street, agreeing that we be permitted to remove the tree, and the June 28 letter of our landscape architect stating that to properly relandscape the property, the tree must be removed. In addition, I would like to emphasize that like other residents of Newport Beach, we are spending what to us is an enormous amount of money to own and improve our property and, in our case, to build and landscape a new home. Our investment is not just monetary; it also involves our personal feelings and concerns for our home and our neighborhood. This pepper tree is not only unattractive and dirty, but it will be incompatible with the style of the home and landscape environment which my wife and I intend to build and in which • Mr. Jack Brooks • Street Tree Superintendent Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department August 11, 1989 Page Two 40 r1 U N we hope to raise our family over the years to come. All we are requesting is permission to remove a troublesome tree in a yard ruined by the tree's roots and to replace it with a neat, properly landscaped setting with trees and shrubs which will be harmonious with the architectural design of our new planned home. It seems only fair that we be permitted to remove a tree which we alone will have to look at daily and take care of and which will be a nuisance to us. Our request seems all the more appropriate because the tree is not even an approved tree on the City's approved tree list and we would replace it with one or more approved trees. We would appreciate PB&R's thoughtful consideration of our situation and the fairness of our request. Thank you. MDT /dt Enclosures Sincerely, 7A—*"— M. D. Talbot . 401 Signal Road Newport Beach, California 92663 July 20, 1989 Mr. Jack Brooks Street Tree Superintendent Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, California • Re: 324 Signal Road • 13 Dear Mr. Brooks: I am writing to request that the Street Tree Committee, Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department, or other appropriate authority, give me permission to remove and replace the Brazilian pepper tree located in the front of my property at the above - referenced address in connection with removal of the ivy and relandscaping of the front yard. As you can see from the enclosed letter dated June 28 from our landscape architect, Robert Bucci Associates, the tree must be replaced in connection with relandscaping the front yard. The tree's roots run all over the property and are so shallow that thousands of "suckers" exist in the ivy and throughout the front yard. The shallow roots and the deformation of the grade make proper landscaping impossible without removal of the tree. Further, this tree is unsightly and dirty and is not in keeping with current improved landscaping in the area. Enclosed is a copy of a petition signed by 51 of our neighbors, including all of the residents of my street, agreeing to permit me to remove the tree. I think all of the residents on my street feel that I should be allowed to remove the tree and improve the unsightly situation. Also enclosed are several pictures showing the damage to the yard caused by the tree. • Mr. Jack Brooks City of Newport Beach July 20, 1989 Page Two U I would like to replace the tree with a cottonwood similar to the several cottonwoods in front of my house at 401 Signal Road; however, if the cottonwood is not acceptable, I would be glad to plant either a Liquidambar Styracifina (American Sweet Gum) or a Platanus Acerifolia (London Plane Tree), both of which are on the PB&R Tree List. I would also be willing to consider any other suggestion you may have. It is my understanding that permission has been granted to replace pepper trees in other parts of Newport Heights and I would appreciate the same opportunity. Accordingly, please send me any necessary approval as soon as possible so I can begin relandscaping my property. If necessary, I would gladly appear before the Street Tree Committee or PB&R to submit any information or answer any questions that you may have. I appreciate your attention to this matter. enclosures c - Mt. Virginia Heberts Street Tree Committee 1� Sincerely, - "�74A/- M. D.

As this is not a street tree situation covered by City Council Policy I -9, the Chair of the Street Tree Committee feels that the entire Commission should provide deliberation on this matter. Staff agrees with this procedure. A visit to the site is encouraged and Mr. Benson can be contacted to point out the trees that are of concern.

One of your 0-ommission Members, Virginia Herberts graciously took the time to make a • site inspection with the writer and subsequently consented to removal.of 3 of the smaller trees of the 6 now existing. However the other 3 trees are the major view blockers and we request your approval for removal of the remaining 3. They are a tall skinny- trucked tree with a few puffs of leaves at the top and are anything but attractive to anyone in the area. The trees in question require annual maintenance by, the Parke and Recreation Department in cleaning up Shedding bark and leaves and time consuming thinning out when they reach the point of total view blockage. Elimination of these poor tree specimens would save the city's Parks and Recreation Department considerable maintenance time. Your approval of our request would be appreciated. 1/Please direct response to Writer... Dover Shores 0 unity Association Edward P. Benson • 1028 Westwind way E. P.

Strauss, Mayor City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 July 28, 1989 Subject: West Newport Beach Oxbow Loop East End Tidelands (Newport Shores Recreation Park Site) Dear Mayor Strauss: COUNCIL AGENDA IJOF -4(o) The County is currently drafting a "local coastal plan" for the 500+ acres generally under the ownership of the West Newport Oil Company. r/We request that the City of Newport Beach bring to the attention of the County the urgent need for a recreational activity park in the captioned location (highlighted in the attached map). This highlighted area (excluding Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 which are owned by the City) is within the City boundary and will be under the ownership of the State Lands Commission as tidelands and therefore, under the City's supervision. The State Department of Fish and Game has identified this potential park location as "wetlands." The Department policy and Federal guidelines on wetlands is that there shall be no net loss of wetlands due to development. The Department will object to the creation of a park playfield project unless an equal or greater area of wetlands is created within the general plan. This need for the City to locate approximately five acres of drylands which can be converted to wetlands in order to develop this park location may be met in the County's design of this "local coastal plan ". Mr. Leonard Anderson, representing the West Newport Oil Company and Mr. Robert Richmond, I land use planner for the County, have indicated as Interest in this solution. However, the City Vof Newport Beach must formally notify the County of the City's interest in this potential park site before further consideration can be given in the "local coastal plan" project. oil, city needs to send a letter to the attention of:�y� L Michael M.

S. Corp of Engineers, the U. S.Fish and Wildlife Service, the State Department of Fish and Game, the State Lands Commission, and the State Coastal Commission. The project is in the public Interest, and the timing is right to finally develop this low cost site for the park- deprived, densely populated area of West Newport. The local coast plan "preliminary draft" Is expected to be completed in eight weeks. Your early attention to this request is needed.

Unfortunately, due to the unclear tidelands title disputes with the surrounding landowners, no progress could be made to develop such a park. The timing may finally be right to implement this park. Assuming the oxbow Loop Boundary line Agreement is signed by all parties, I understand this will clarify the tidelands area from the center of the Oxbow Loop to the northern boundary of the City of Newport Beach. Can your commission clarify where the tidelands southern boundary is located in the potential park area? If this tidelands southern boundary is not clearly identified, what steps can be taken towards clearing the title as soon as possible? How far can the City safely assume the tidelands extend southerly from the Oxbow center line during the interim in order to proceed with park planning? Since this is the short period of City budget review for the next fiscal year, an early reply is needed. Needless to say, Mr. Fossum, the assistance and information received from Shunjo Asari, Richard Hanson and yourself is greatly appreciated. CC: Sincerely, M. C. 5803 Richard Hanson, Land Agent Shunji Asari, Deputy Attorney General Phson, Jr. shore Drive Beach, CA 92663 Item No. 8 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department 0 • DATE: August 28, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Community Service Awards In 1981, with staff, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission implemented a prestigious recognition program whereby individuals who have provided significant service toward recreation, park or beautification projects can be honored.

Please review the Council Policy Manual, and specifically.those sections impacting your operation, and transmit to me by September 18th any changes or modifications that you deem necessary. ROBERT GU � L._ I -2 COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION AND WATER CONSERVATION - Page One The City Council believes that it would be in the best interest of the City and the developer to encourage utilizing the services of.a landscape architect simultaneously with the services of the engineers, rather than after cutting and grading are final. Strips of land dividing housing projects should be preserved as green- belts or open space wilderness areas. Ravines and barrancas should be preserved to provide natural areas of beautification. Where possible, some streets in residential developments should run tbward the ocean or Upper Bay to provide a view of the water. The cost of transmitting water to Southern California will increase dramatically during the next decade due to the increased cost of oil in the conveyance process. Anticipating this cost increase, it shall be the policy of the City of Newport Beach to encourage conservation of water throughout the City and to develop methods-whereby the City, its citizens, businessmen and homeowner associations can reduce their con- sumption of water. Suggested methods include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Select landscape materials from a list of drought resistant shrubs, trees and ground covers and use'them as extensively as possible in parks, parkways, traffic medians and around public buildings. (2) Encourage the use of solid materials (concrete, brick, etc.) in traffic islands, parkways and other locations in order to reduce water - consuming areas. Care should be taken, however, to provide ample tree wells in parkways when solid materials are used. (3) Reduce to art acceptable minimum the amount of water that is applied to lawns, ground covers, paseos and greenbelts, but giving care to the deep water that is required by trees. (4) Give greater consideration to soil conditioning and be sure that soils are properly prepared prior to planting. Sandy soils should receive a generous amount of humus to retain moisture. (5) In design of parkway and median landscaping, grade the area concave rather than convex to eliminate run -off and spray drift. Bubbler heads should be used instead of spray heads. Drip irrigation systems should be installed whenever possible. I -2 • COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION AND WATER CONSERVATION - Page Two (6) Determine proper water timing of landscaping in various types of soil and publicize appropriate watering procedures for public information: i.e., deep watering for trees. (7) Investigate the possibility of using recycled water for parks, traffic medians and other public locations.

City, park sites do not take the place of school playground areas, but supplement them. Both City parks and school playgrounds can be better planned as a joint project if they are located adjacent to each other. It - should be understood that the City does not believe that park sites should be used exclusively for school playgrounds, but.that joint use of the facilities is in the bast interests of the community. u3 Adopted - February 24, 1964 Reaffirmed - August 30, 1966 Reaffirmed - November 12, 1968 Reaffirmed - March 99 1970 Reaffirme; — December 10, 1973 REAFFIIMW - NOVEMBER 11, 1974 • `7L .y, I -8 10/26/76 'LANDSCAPING AND'SEAUTIFICATION Public Works contracts should provide that where any beautified area becomes marred or damaged as a result of the construction work, the contractor shall restore both - irrigation and landscaping to its former condition, and should attempt to avoid any unnecessary destruction to adjacent plant material. Adopted - April 11, 1966 Amended - October 26, 1976 • 1 -9 RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF PARK AND PARKWAY TREES It shall be the responsibility of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to develop and maintain a rather restricted list of trees.in the community (attached) which should be retained to the exclusion of all normal problems. This list will contain landmark trees, special trees of extreme beauty, stately trees which contribute to an entire neighborhood, dedicated trees, etc. These trees will be identified, mapped and recorded. Subsequent to this they will be given all types of special treatment to retain them, including the use of asphalt sidewalks, realigned curbing, etc. Whenever it is necessary to prune tree roots in parkways or other public areas in order to correct or prevent damage being caused by the subject tree, every reasonable effort shall be made to save the tree, including the use of high grade asphalt sidewalk sections. It will still be necessary to meet the City's standards relative to grades and alignments, with the exception of those special trees discussed in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement. If it is necessary for a tree other than that included in Paragraph 1 to be given special treatment, each tree shall be considered individually on its own merits to determine whether the tree should be retained or replaced. All parkway trees included in this category must be subjected to and meet the following criteria: 1. Have sufficient root system to sustain life and remain in a safe condition after root pruning; ' 2. Have sufficient life expectancy to merit special consideration; 3. Have ad:L ^ent property owners be desirous of retaining tree in light of "patchy sidewalk effect" that would be created next to their homes if asphalt sidewalk is to be used to save the tree; 4. Not be of an undesirable species that has been removed from the official street tree list by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission; 5. Not have had a consistent history of damaging utilities such as sewers, water mains, etc.; 6. Not interfere with acceptable drainage if alternate methods of curb repair are utilized. Application of the criteria on parkway trees will be conducted by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department in coordination with the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.

If there are questions, please call. Ronald A. Whit ey • is • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: October 27, 1987 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Buffalo Hills Park Scoreboard Recommendation: Retain a baseball scoreboard in its present large ball diamond at Buffalo Hills Park and recommendation for City Council review. Background: Item No. 6 location near the left side of the authorize staff to transmit the On July 30, 1987 a letter addressed to the -Mayor and City Council was referred to the Department regarding the location of a baseball scoreboard at Buffalo Hills Park. The scoreboard was placed on the left side of the large baseball field used by the Newport National Little League for major division (ages 11 -12 years) competition. The letter was submitted by Mr. Brooke Bentley and questioned the review and approval process which resulted in the scoreboard's installation. On September 11, 1987, another area resident, Kathy Rosenberger, contacted the Department by telephone and indicated her concerns regarding the scoreboard's installation and the fact that it is Np all year long. In response, the Department requested Little League to remove the scoreboard pending a review of its location with the Harbor View Community Association, the Commission and the City Council. In addition,'Department staff contacted the Planning Department and requested any applicable regulations or codes for signs or scoreboards. On October 14, the Board of Directors of the Harbor View Community Association indicated their support for the scoreboard in its present location. The City's Current Planning Administrator also advised the Department that there are no codes which regulate signs on City parks; any regulations or directions are self- imposed. Normally park signs such as those for facilities are reviewed by the Commission. The installation of the scoreboard by Newport National Little League volunteers occurred in April, 1987. The Department had discussed the Little League's desire for a scoreboard but did not provide final authorization prior to its installation. Due to an internal misunderstanding, the Little League did not remove the score- board following the Department's written request of August 5, but has indicated their intention to comply if such a request is authorized by the Commission and approved by the City Council. The installation of the 5'9" x 910" scoreboard in its location is believed to be the best possible site for spectator .visibility, player safety and view impact. The scoreboard's total height measures 9 feet, and the view impact was thought to be minimized by a turf berm immediately adjacent. /' ar even ram suc 3 0 md GIff. DIRECTORS Robert B.

Bay Avenue Newport Beach, CA. 92663 Dear Bill: Recently, the Department received some complaints from residents surrounding Buffalo Hi,lls,Park regarding the Little League scoreboard. Specifically, residents object to the scoreboard's installation, the apparent lack of review and approval and its location. In light of the fact that baseball season is over, the Newport National Little League is required•to remove the scoreboard no later than September 7,• 1987. The scoreboard may be reinstalled ff approvals • are secured from appropriate Community Associations, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and the City Council. Approval conditions :may also require that appropriate plans be designed indicating ele- vations, dimensions, and construction in order to obtain permits from appropriate City Departments. 41 V We regret if staff members from-this Department implied that installa- tion of the scoreboard was previously approved. However, our records indicate that Newport National Little League did not request installa- tion of the scoreboard in'a formal manner. Unlike the thoroughly- , detailed review and-approval process established for the Eastbluff Park improvements, this one has "slipped through the cracks." Please contact me if you have any questions.

'I J CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH i ' n arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 2 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Chair Brenner pointed out that the community is generally opposed to a light being installed since drivers have a tendency to speed up to try to make a green light. Commissioner Grant suggested a stop sign with an adequately marked and enforced cross walk is the best solution. Mark Deven stated the Traffic Engineer's office maintains this intersection does not warrant a light and would be more hazardous if one were installed. Mr. Deven suggested contacting the Traffic Engineering Division for other alternatives and /or using a crossing guard during peak hours. Commissioner Wolfe agreed that the idea of a crossing guard be pursued. Commissioner Brenner said that moving the guard from up the hill down to 5th had been suggested to the PFO and this might be able to,be coordinate with the'School District. The Capital Improvements Budget was discussed and the • Friends requested that parking facilities and a portion of the construction costs of anew Human Services wing be included for funding. The new annex would help alleviate , the overcrowding and increasing needs of the seniors. Mr. Ron Yeo, architect, addressed the Commission and Friends and explained the costs, time schedule and proposed plans for the Arts and Craft workshop. III.

Item #6 - Buffalo Hills Park Scoreboard Buffalo Hills Park Chair Brenner reported that after the agenda was printed, Scoreboard the Harbor View Community Association revised their opinion on their letter included in the Commission's packet. The problem is that due to a misunderstanding by the Little League, they installed the scoreboard before it was approved and two people want it taken down. Due to a tele- phone call from the Association Chair Brenner asked the �] Commission, if they wished to continue this item until next month. ` � , CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Mark Deven reported the sign is in a safe and adequate location, is not offensive and the homeowners association approved its retention. There are no major problems except for two complaints. Mr. Deven, however, pointed out that the Association may modify their.position'based on Mr. Bentley's decision to modify his request that the sign be taken down. Mr. Bentley had advised he may concur with certain improvements to the sign which th'e homeowners association indicated they would endorse. Motion x Seconded x Commissioner Wolfe motioned to continue discussion on this Ayes x x x x x item at this meeting. Seconded by Grant. Motion passes. Nay x Chair Brenner opened the meeting to public testimony. Mr. Ralph Nelson, 1930 Port Albans and a resident of Harbor View,.addressed the Commission. Mr. Nelson supported retaining the scoreboard as-it is and stated he feels it is not that noticeable. As a member of the community association, • he has not heard any complaints and feels the Little League fields are by the appreciated neighborhood. After Commissioner Wolfe suggested removing the sign when the season is over, Commissioner Grant advised that the ` field is used by other youth.groups the majority of the year. Motion x Commissioner Wolfe moved to keep the scoreboard up. Director Whitley reviewed Mr. Deven's discussion with Mr. Bentley -concerning his suggestions for improvements. Commissioner Wolfe then withdrew his motion. Mr. Deven reported Mr. Bentley recommended the colors of th sign be reversed, resulting in a green background with white lines; that the sign be temporarily removed when not used by Little League; and that the sign be reduced in size. Commissioner Springer recommended the issue be postponed one month to allow Mr. Bentley, the homeowners association and Little League time to arrive at a mutual solution. +lotion x Commissioner Grant motioned to ask Little League to contact Oyes x x x the homeowners association to work out details to keep the Vays K x sign, including color change, landscaping, etc. If kbso x unsatisfactory, the matter would be brought back to this Commission.

Ayes x x x x x Seconded by Wolfe. Motion passes. Nay x Item #7 - Beach Volleyball Rules and Regulations Beach Volleyball 'Mark Deven reviewed the proposed volleyball Resolution and Rules and explained in detail its key ,elements. Regulations During discussion; Director Whitley recommended that the word "review" in the first sentence of Sections 6 and 7 be changed to "approval.". • Commissioner Grant said he felt Sections 6 and 7 of the Resolution stating approval' by the majority of neighbors is not necessary; that the needs of the community will be considered by this Commission for approval. ` Commissioner Herberts suggested the second sentence in Section 6 be changed to read from the "majority of neighbor E" to "neighbors." Commissioner Grant recommended Sections 6 and 7 state that notification be made to everyone within 200'. He also suggested adding a Section 10 to state that approval or disapproval shall be based on community needs, parking, existing facility use, beaches, etc. Mark Deven recommended that petitions also be reviewed by the Marine and General Services Departments. Commissioner Springer suggested "review" be changed to "approval" in Sections 6 and 7 and that the word, "majority " be deleted. The Commission determined that Section 10 should read that consideration for approval of installation or removal be based not only on the desires of the neighbors, but also on • considerations such as parking, beach width, existing facility use, locations of restroom facilities, overall community needs, the ability to remove another court, and other considerations as deemed necessary by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.

Attached are examples of this procedure. q1 1 0 • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY August 2, 1989 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert H. Burnham SUBJ: Unauthorized Street Tree Removal Sometime ago, the Council authorized this office to proceed with efforts to collect money from people who had removed street trees without receiving permission from the City. Some of the trees were removed after residents were denied authorization by the Street Tree Committee and /or PB &R Commission. In some cases, unauthorized removal of one tree on a street lead to the unauthorized removal of others. Staff and the PB &R Commission believe that some action is necessary if the process for obtaining authorization to remove trees is to have any meaning. I have attached a copy of a sample letter sent to a resident that cut down two trees. I have tried to make the letter as non- threatening as possible. However, the letter will not be well received by some folks and you can expect angry calls from the recipients. Please feel free to refer those calls to this office or simply discuss the matter with the caller. RHB:jg qq City Attorney r0 f CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY P.O.
