Item #5 - City Property - 4210 River Avenue
City
Property -
Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Director Whitley who
4210 River
reported the electorate, by a narrow margin, voted last
Avenue
November for the City to retain and not sell the subject
property. As a result, the City Council has asked this
Commission to determine if they would like the property
included in the park system which is currently zoned R -2
and woul.d require a zone change; or determine uses of the
property from a public standpoint and retain the R -2 zoning.
This Commission originally recommended to Council that the
parcel was not of significant value to the park system.

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Director Whitley indicated the property might be able to be
leased without going to a vote of the people, however,
Commissioner Herberts pointed-out that Section 1402 of the
City Charter reads that the lease or sale of the property
requires approval, by the public.
Chair Taft opened the meeting to Public Testimony and Mr.
Hal Polley, 4204 River Avenue, addressed the Commission.
He, stated he has been active in the Newport Harbor area
since 1936 and was quite concerned when the City leased
land to the Balboa Bay Club. However, he now supports the
lease since the Club is available for numerous civic groups.
He reported he and his neighbors are very concerned about
overdevelopment of West Newport due to increased congestion,
traffic and parking problems.
Mr. Polley explained that the subject park has been there
for 25 years at no cost to the'City since it has been
developed and maintained by Jack Alward and his neighbors.
He strongly urged the Commission recommend to Council that
the site be retained as a park and adjoined and developed
as part of Channel Park.
Mr. Jack.Alward,, 4208 River Avenue, addressed the Commission
and pointed out the subject site was used as a.park many
years ago prior to Channel Park and that the neighbors
have maintained.it at their expense. He felt the objective
should be to keep the property green. It should be
cleaned out, making it more viable as a park..
Mr. John Shaffer, 404 32nd Street, addressed the Commission
and reported that when he was convalescing at Hoag Hospital,
he enjoyed the lush greenery from his room. He urged that
environmental concerns not be neglected.
Ms. Susan Davis, 4208 River Avenue, addressed the Commission.
She stated she favors the existing park for enjoyment and
view reasons and suggested benches be put in. She referred
to Lido Island which has many parks smaller than this site.
Patrick Fales, 4104 River Avenue, addressed the Commission.
He felt the area is a beautiful spot�,of greenery which looks
like a natural work of art and recommended it remain this
.
way.

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Janine Gault, 406 San Bernardino, addressed the Commission.
Although a resident of Newport Heights, she,and her friends
assumed that the site would be kept as a park since the
vote to sell the area was defeated. She urged the site be
kept and maintained as a park.
David Fales, 4104 River Avenue, addressed the Commission
and requested it be.kept as a park since he likes to ride
his bike and play in it.
There being no further Public Testimony, discussion by the
Commission ensued.
Commissioner Konwiser referred to the open lots on Lido
Island previously mentioned and pointed out these are
privately owned and maintained.
Commissioner Konwiser reported the site has been identified
.
as a vacant lot and not a park to the average citizen.
Access is difficult; it is not properly zoned; and it is not
an appropriate place for a park. He recommended the City
sell or lease it in compliance with the existing zoning.
Commissioner Demmer stated she favors the site as a park to
be included in the Recreation and Open Space Element of the
General Plan since there is no designated mini park in West
Newport. She recommended the site be maintained as a
botanical park and that it be coordinated with Channel Park
providing safety railings, a boat dock and safe access to
the beach. She also. complimented Mr. Alward for his
interest and time given to this parcel over the years.
Commissioner Compton reported he felt that rather than main-
tain a small area with poor access that not everyone can use
Channel Park should be built up with trees, etc., which
would benefit more people.
Commissioner Herberts agreed with Commissioner Demmer that
since the electorate voted to keep it as a park, this is
what should be done.
She referred to "L" Street Park and "M" Street Circle which
are small beautification areas enjoyed by residents. She
also felt small parks are needed to walk to due to parking
.
problems and, therefore, favors a beautification area or
small mini park.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Commissioner Herberts also suggested a public dingy dock
be put in and the area cleaned so it can be more accessible.
Another option would be for the Association to pay the City
to maintain it.
Commissioner Vandervort pointed out the vote in November
was not to sell the.site but also not necessarily to keep it
as a park. Since there is a large City park nearby and no
physical way to join the areas, she would not recommend the
site for a park.
Commissioner Grant stated he was concerned with costs, over-
building and'trees. He suggested capitali budgets first be
reviewed and then consider adding a dock and trees at
Channel Park. He recommended the property be, sold to improv
and enhance other areas where more people, not a select
group, would benefit.
•
Chair Taft concurred with Commissioner Compton that improve-
ments are needed at Channel Park. Should the mini park
remain, it would need to be made more accessible to the
public since the, City cannot afford to spend funds for a
place used by so few.

Mr. Hal Polley, 4204 River Avenue, addressed the Commission
concerning Channel Park. He stated football, softball
and other sports activities used to be played there and an
open area is definitely needed. When the park was redone,
the restrooms were built in front of homes and where home -
plate used to be; now there is not room for a softball field
and the park is not as usable. There are twp BBQ pits but
no water and no sprinklers by the Palms. He further stated
the neighbors were not notified of the City's plans for the
park.
Jack Brooks advised the Homeowners Association was notified
and also approved the plans.
Item #6 - Tree Removal Appeal - 715 Narcissus
Tree Removal
Appeal
Chair Taft turned the meeting over to;�Commissioner Herberts,
Chair of the Street Tree Committee, who reported she thinks
the subject tree is magnificent and that Corona del Mar
residents prefer to retain mature trees in their area.

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Chair Taft opened the meeting to Public Testimony and Mary
Jane Kirtland, 715 Narcissus, addressed the Commission. She
stated that in October, 1989 the Tree Supervisor recom-
mended removal of the Ficus Nitida which is causing sidewalk
and curb problems in addition to being a hazardous condition
She asked the Commission to recommend removal of the tree
which she would be happy,to replace with one more suitable.
Commissioner Herberts asked Ms. Kirtland if she would like
the designated tree, which is a Eucalyptus Ficifol.ia, should
the tree be removed. Ms,. Kirtland replied that although
they are pretty but messy, it would be an improvement.
During discussion, Commissioner Compton agreed the tree is
pushing against the sidewalk and curb and will have to
eventually be removed.
Commissioner Konwiser felt every tree should be in harmony
•
with its surroundings. The bulk of this tree is above the
sight line and does not belong on this street. He recom-
mended the tree be removed and replaced with the designated
tree at City expense.
Commissioners Vandervort and Demmer agreed the tree is too
large and hazardous a'nd'would recommend removal.
Commissioner Grant recommended the tree be removed and re-
placed with two trees.

final prioritization at this meeting which will be forwarded
FY 1990 -91
to the City Manager.
Director Whitley then summarized and clarified each of the
proposed projects. He passed out the Park Facility'Improve-
ment Fund report which allows the,Department to accomplish
projects not normally budgeted for or not anticipated, such
•
as emergencies.
Jack Brooks explained the Fund's expenditures and pointed
out there is a $30,000 balance left over which reverts back
to the Department
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
Page 6
City Council Chambers 7 p:m. INDEX
.Commissioner Grant suggested it be called a Park Facility
Emergency /Contingency Fund and that the Commission be
apprised of the expenditures every six months and a general
department policy for i,ts expenditures be developed for the
Commission's approval.
Commissioner Grant also recommended the Playground Equipment
Replacement Fund be clearly identified in the future.
Chair Taft then turned the meeting over to Commissioner
Konwiser, Chair of.ihe Capital Improvements Committee, who
suggested the items be kept in the order they appear. He
pointed out that about half of the budget is already commit-
ted and there is no justification to decrease the funding.
Commissioner Grant disagreed with the prioritization and
presented a letter from the Corona del Mar Soccer Club
requesting field three at the Lincoln Athletic Center be
•
lighted due to the increase in demand for fields and
since this field was to be lighted under the original
approved plan. Commissioner Grant also.pointed out that
Little League has requested batting cages and AYSO needs to
be reimbursed for soccer goals.
Director Whitley explained that AYSO will be reimbursed from
available funds for the soccer goals. Batting cages are not
a capital project and can be purchased under Playground
Equipment Replacement Program funds.
Chair Taft opened the,meeting to Public Testimony and Mr.
Ralph Nelson, Business Manager for Little League and spokes-
man for soccer, addressed the Commission. He pointed out
the need for the optimum use of fields and thus the need for
lights and their, need for batting cages.
Motion
Following further discussion, Commissioner Herberts moved
to accept the capital project proposals as presented in the
follodaing priority:
1. Corona del Mar High School Olympic Pool

Item #8 - Proposed Bond Issue
Proposed
Bond Issue
Director Whitley reviewed the Park Bond Issue, pointing out
it has been discussed for a year and a half and it is now
•
time to make a recommendation to Council if a bond issue
is needed. The Castaways and,Cal Trans West areas have been
identified as park parcels and it is staff's recommendation
that a park bond issue be pursued for these areas and trans-
mitted to City Council.
Commissioner Vandervort presented a map and aerial photo-
graphs to better explain locations.
Commissioner Compton rev'i'ewed the acquisition options for th
Castaways area and stated he favors a bond issue. He also
explained the Cal Trans West view park which would be re-
duced in size due to its topography. '
Motion
x
Commissioner Compton then motioned the Commission support a
bond issue to enable the purchase of the two parcels of
land for active parks, one in West Newport and one in the
Castaways area.
Commissioner Konwiser reported he has not been contacted wit
regard to a bond issue and does not feel the community is
that interested. Since he doesn't feel a $25 million bond
issue would pass, he is not supporting the motion.
Commissioner Herberts disagreed, stating she feels many
people would support a bond issue since they want more activ
•
and open space such as the Castaways which should be' claimed
now since we may not be able to go back and reclaim it in
the future.

Commissioner Grant felt the City does not need more active
open space compared to other cities assuming we achieve
the Recreation and Open Space Element. He did not feel a
bond issue would pass.
Commissioner Demmer did not feel the issue should be if the
,park bond issue passes; she felt the main focus should be
on obtaining the Castaways for the future.

III. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Beth Cooper, 322 Sapphire, addressed the Commission on
behalf of the Balboa Island Improvement Association. She
asked.that the Commission consider the lot on the Fire
Station site on Marine Avenue be turned into a pocket park.
•
Since they have paid.for it through taxes, they would like
to save it and use it, for a quiet oasis with a bench and
flowers. She pointed out Balboa Island is very park defi-
cient and more „space is needed for both visitors and
residents. In addition, a public restroom is needed since
there is presently a hygiene problem.
Commissioner Herberts suggested Ms. Cooper first transmit
her request to Council who would, in turn, ask for a
recommendation from this Commission.
Commissioner Grant expressed his support for this request
as the site is near so much foot traffic and would greatly
benefit the neighbors.
Bob Jessen, 303 43rd Street, addressed the Commission con-
cerning Channel Park. He said in the past the park was
used for football, soccer and softball, but now the park
has been destroyed and people are not using it. He
commented on the hazardous restroom and wall and noted that
the homeless are even using the area now. He suggested
tearing down the outhouse and walkway; separating the grass
4
and sand; replacing the slide; dredge; and build a minor
retaining wall so the water will drain into the street.
He added that consideration also be given to winds when
•
parks are developed.
Director Whitley replied that the back stop at Channel Park
was removed at the direction of this Commission due to
residents' complaints about broken windows. The site was

never large enough for regulation fields, but good for
practice. When the.park was to be refurbished, it was done
through the normal capital improvement process and approved
by the community,. Commission and City Council. The restroom
was an add -on service by Public Works to service those at
the bus stop.
Commissioner Grant,noted that the West Newport Association
does not represent all the residents who may not have been
notified.
Commissioner Compton agreed that West Newport Association
does not speak for every homeowner in the area. He agreed
people are not using the.park as much as they should and
there is a need for green belts and playing areas.
Commissioner Vandervort added that West Newport desperately
needs active parks. Chair Taft agreed with Commissioner
Compton that the park is not being used and would like to
see it improved for the community.

RECREATION DIVISION
JANUARY, 1990 PROGRESS REPORT
Youth Activities
Item No. 6
Councilmembers Phil Sansone and Jean Watt have revitalized the Youth Council.
Representative students from Newport Harbor and Corona del Mar High Schools
make up the volunteer advisory council which falls under the supervision of the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department.
The Council hopes to develop a Community Youth Awareness Week. Included in this
week long celebration will be a ,Job Fair, Youth in Government Day and an Ecological
Awareness Day.
The youth basketball program is in full swing. 112 children are enjoying the
program. Our Pee Wee program (1st and 2nd grades) has 45 participants.
The after school program at West Newport began in mid - January. Staff is working
hard at publicizing the program and we-have high hopes for growing participant
numbers.
The Bobby Sox program is ecstatic about the approval of their home field at
Irvine Terrace Park. A back stop and dug out will soon appear on the park as
will an infield. Bobby Sox will begin games on the field approximately March 12.
Contract Classes
Winter classes began this month. Registration is typical for this time of year.
Large enrollf"ient classes are Drawing and Painting, Spanish, Acupressure.and
exercise classes. Dance classes, especially those utilizing the new West Newport
Community Center Dance Studio, are also booming with registration.
The spring brochure will be out approximately February 21. New classes have been
reviewed by the Commission's Recreation Subcommittee.
The Extra Time Classes at Andersen, Harbor View and Newport Heights Schools will
begin the week of February 5. We are co- sponsoring 14 classes at Andersen, 9
at Newport Heights and 13 at Harbor View.
Tennis
Tennis instruction is typically wintery low. Poor weather did not help the start
but things are looking better now. We may also see an increase in Round Robin
participation.
Preparations are underway for the 4th Annual Mayors Cup Tournament. Dates for
this year's event are April 21, 22, 28 and 29. Park Newport will again host the
finals-
Adult Sports
Our winter /spring softball program is bulging at the seams with 101 teams. This
program began only 3 years ago with 25 teams. The same holds true for our basketball
program. Last year we fielded 49 teams and this winter 72 teams. Adults sports
are alive and well in Newport Beach.
-2-
Oasis
Oasis is currently conducting a survey of the various transportation programs in
the surrounding cities. Their goal is to,assess the types of services that are
being offered and the success of the programs. Cities being,looked at include
Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Culver City and Huntington Beach.
The new District Attorney for Orange County spoke to a group of 50 sen4ors on
January 10. Topics included elder abuse, nursing home regulations and the role
of the D.A.'s office,. His talk was very well received.
Anew. pottery class began this month. 18 students enrolled and are busy practicing
