II. ACTION ITEMS
Item #5 - Trees on 200 Block of Larkspur
Trees on
200 Block of
Chair Taft explained that this item was discussed at the
Larkspur
Commission's last meeting and agendized as an action item'
for the May meeting. He then turned the meeting over to
Director Whitley who presented three more letters urging
that the trees be removed. These letters were from E.M.
Mueller, 222 Larkspur; Marlene Goren, 212 Larkspur; and
Helenann Clarke, 219 Larkspur.
Director Whitley reviewed the two recommendations which are
to either remove the trees or allow them to remain. He
pointed out the dilemma that occurs in interpretation of
the Ordinances which can be used to support either recom-
mendation. He explained Council Policy I -12, Obstruction

-
-
of Views by Trees, which encourages homeowners and public
agencies to comply with their CUR's in order to maintain
views and property values. Ordinances, however, are stronger
than policies and should be carefully reviewed in this
particular matter. Referring to Ordinance 13.08.030, Removal
or Relocation of Plants by City, he pointed out the City can
remove trees determined to be in the interest of general
welfare as is the case of the disturbed residents on Larkspur.
However, Ordinance 13.09.010, Parkway Trees Required, supports
the recommendation that the parkway trees be retained.
Chair Taft agreed this is a difficult situation wherein thos
whose views are obstructed are in direct opposition to those
who feel trees should be planted in parkways.
Chair-Taft opened the meeting to 'Public Testimony and Mrs.
Betty Bottorf, 221 Larkspur, addressed the Commission. Mrs.
Bottorf urged removal of the trees that block the views of
six homes and would also severely decrease the value of their
homes. She stated she did not understand why the trees were
allowed to be planted when the City knew they would obstruct
views and that the 72 hour notification process was not
followed. She asked the Commission to consider those who
live in the area and the subsequent consequences.
Jack Brooks explained that City view policy was followed in
that it pertains to trimming and not to planting trees. In
addition, request was made a year ago to plant parkway trees
and it was granted with the stipulation that the trees might
have to be removed. Mr. Brooks added that City policy is
to encourage planting of parkway trees and he felt every
policy was followed in this case.
Mr. Keith Burnett, 215 Larkspur, addressed the Commission
and circulated photographs showing impacted views from his
home. He felt that common sense and courtesy could have
prevented the problem and that the homeowners in question
are uncommunicative with a disregard for their neighbors'
sensibilities. Although he is sympathetic to the homeowners
enhancing the appearance of their home for personal pleasure,
he felt it is against the will of all the neighbors and,
since the trees are on public property, the City should
respond to majority view and have the trees removed. He
stated he would agree to relocation where they can be en-
joyed by all.

Mrs. Jill Bayer, 3128 Ocean Blvd., addressed the Commission.
Mrs. Bayer congratulated the City as recently being named
Tree City USA and stated this would never have occurred if
trees had been prevented from being planted. She felt the
Corona del--Mar area's beauty is due to the trees and that
they built there because they did not want any,restrictions.
They did not know that planting the trees would cause such
an uprising.
Mrs. Bayer reported they received permission to plant the
trees and pointed-out that their home is on two lots; if
two houses had been built, views would have been blocked.
She further stated the trees give their courtyard privacy
and people have commented upon them.
Chair Taft asked Mrs. Bayer how she would feel if the trees
were transferred from Larkspur to Ocean Blvd. She replied
they had considered this, however, the idea was denied by
the City.
Director Whitley explained there is an informal City policy
not to plant trees on Ocean Blvd.
Jack Brooks explained the City regrets what has happened as
a result of the trees being planted, however, by policy he
could see no reason to deny the planting of these parkway
trees.
There being no further Public Testimony, discussion-by the
Commission ensued.
Commissioner Compton noted the street trees are now 12' high
and 5' in diameter and asked if they could be kept at this
height.
Jack Brooks advised they block views now and they normally
mature tb 35 -50' in height with a 20' spread. He also ex-
plained the City has the right to prune and could keep them
trimmed to obtain as much view as possible.
Commissioner Vandervort agreed this is a serious problem but
feels that views are the primary enhancement of -the City.
She recommended consideration of Ordinance 13.09.040, Waiver
Procedure, wherein the petition could serve as written
application, thereby requesting the homeowners be released
from their requirement to put in street trees. In addition,
due to conflicting information, the homeowners should be
reimbursed their costs for the three trees that the City
takes out.

Commissioner Grant voiced his concern that there are other
streets that have partial views and he would not like to see
a precedent set. As to those on Larkspur with no trees,
this is by choice and not a requirement. He recommended the
trees remain and be aggressively pruned.
Commissioner Konwiser felt this is an area where the views
are unique and should be preserved over parkway trees. He
pointed out the spirit of cooperation that has existed for
years on Larkspur and he did not think the trees add a great
deal to the home where they are planted. In addition,
Commissioner Konwiser did not feel it would be realistic
to think the trees could be kept as they are now. For
these reasons he recommended the trees be removed at City
expense and the Bayers receive some type of reimbursement.
Commissioner Herberts reported'she was very concerned over
a precedent being set and pointed out her view and those of
•
many in the City have been blocked. Referring to Ordinance
13.09.010, Parkway Trees Required, she recommended the trees
remain and be kept severely trimmed to open up views.
Jack Brooks concurred with Commissioner Konwiser that the
trees cannot be kept at their present height. However, sinc
they are City property and should the Commission choose to
retain them, staff can keep them open by trimming them 1 -2
times a year.
Commissioner Demmer noted there are many streets throughout
the City that do not have parkway trees so that the res-
dents can enjoy an expansive or limited ocean view. Trees
that are trimmed too severely look unnatural and somewhat
grotesque. She further stated the home at 3128�Ocean Bldd.
is a magnificent addition to the area and she felt their
quality of life can be maintained without the trees.
Chair Taft reported he has a similar situation where he lives
and he favors both trees and views. He pointed out the
Commission's action is a recommendation which can be appbale
to the City Council.

Commissioner Herberts asked Mrs. Bayer if she would accept

with low growing shrubs. Mrs. Bayer agreed to this
suggestion.
Jack Brooks advised staff would recommend Palm Trees in
this situation since they can be kept trimmed and won't

Item #6 - Tree Removal Appeal - 1849 Seadrift Drive
Tree Removal
Appeal
Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Commissioner Herberts,
Chair of the Street Tree Committee, who reported they
voted to retain the subject trees since the roots seem to
be coming from other shrubs and Pines. The committee felt
these are nice trees and need root pruning along with
sidewalk repair.
Chair Taft then opened the meeting to Public Testimony and
Ms. Judy Lo, 1849 Seadrift Drive, addressed the Commission.
Ms. Lo presented pictures of the tree area and reported
that in 1987 she had asked for the trees to be removed and
the sidewalk repaired. Her tree request was denied al-
though the sidewalk was revamped. Now, however, the side-
walk is getting worse due to the tree roots and she feels
the problem will not be solved by fixing the sidewalk again.
There are many pedestrians and children in the area where
the lighting is dim and she is worried about the hazardous
condition that exists. In addition, the sprinkling system
is disrupted due to the roots and the berry droppings are a
nuisance. Since these are on -going problems, she asked if
she could replace the trees with those where the roots
go down and not across.
Mr. Jim Pickett, friend and attorney for Ms. Low, addressed
the Commission and reported the sidewalk keeps rising and
is dangerous even when repaired. He stated the Lo's would
be happy to replace the two trees at their expense with
more suitable trees to avoid future problems.

City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Commissioner Konwiser pointed out that the Lo's home is-not
unique and the street is lined with the.same variety of
trees•. The value of this street scene which has no view is
dependent upon the parkway trees. He recommended the trees
be retained and root pruned and the sidewalk repoured to
eliminate the ramp.
Commissioner Compton agreed the trees add to the street scape
I
and he would - recommend proper root pruning with tree barriers.
Commissioner Vandervort suggested removing the tree causing
the most problems.
Commissioner Demmer felt that Seadrift Drive has a limited
number of trees in the parkways. She also noted that the
side street of Ms. Lo's corner lot has no trees whatsoever.
She asked the Commission and Ms. Lo if removal of the two
mature front trees and replacing them with two new trees,
•
including three new trees on the side parkway, would be a
reasonable compromise in mitigating Ms. Lo's request and
yet enhance the neighborhood with five new trees.
Commissioner Grant suggested consideration be given to taking
one tree out and adding three to the frontage with no trees.
Motion

Commissioner Konwiser motioned the two trees be retained.
Ayes

x
K
x

Commissioner Compton amended the motion to include that the
Abstai

trees be properly root pruned where the sidewalk is raised;
root barriers put in; and the sidewalk replaced. Motion
passes.
Jack Brooks advised he will contact General Services con-
cerning the sidewalk.
Chair Taft advised Ms. Lo to discuss the berry situation with
Mr. Brooks and that she can appeal the Commission's decision
to the City Council.
Item #7 - Corona del Mar High School Olympic Pool Policy
Corona del
Mar High
Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Nancy Beard who briefly
School
summarized the report submitted.
Olympic Pool
Policy
Commissioner Grant requested the policy presented be brought
•
back to the Recreation Program Committee to be compared with
the one they reviewed and approved before it is finalized.
Director Whitley explained that City Council Policy I -5, Use
Priorities and Fees for Facilities and Equipment, is for all
I CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH

City owned facilities. The same policy cannot be used for
the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center since it is not owned by
the City.
Commissioner Compton suggested the policy be approved as pre-
sented and corrections made later.
Commissioner Grant recommended the policy be temporarily
adopted and brought back to the Recreation Program Committee
for corrections. He also suggested that the word, "exlusive,"
be deleted for City use under Pool Use Criteria.
Director Whitley explained this schedule is in the School
District -City Agreement and cannot be changed.

Item #8 - Removal of Volleyball Court
Removal of
Volleyball
Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Commissioner Vandervort,Court
Chair of the Beach and Oceanfront Committee, who reported
that they met and reviewed the volleyball court located
approximately 100' east of 43rd Street. The committee recom-
mended removal since the court is located in the middle of
the block, which is not an optimum location and there are
other courts in the vicinity.
Chair Taft opened the meeting to Public Testimony and Mr.
Mike Roland addressed the Commission. Mr. Roland reported
the Commission authorized this location a year and a half
ago since there is safe access for lifeguard vehicles and
the court is far enough away from homes. He just saw the
notice for removal and did not understand why request has
been made to remove it. Should the reason be noise and trash
t
he felt it was minimal if due to the players. The majority
of the residents are renters who are much more noisy and
disrespectful than the players. He felt those opposed to
the court should first talk to the players.
Commissioner Vandervort reviewed the existing volleyball
court locations in this area and pointed out there is one
•
unauthorized court between 42nd -43rd Streets and one between
40th -41st Streets. Two years ago all unauthorized courts
(�'
were posted.
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX
Chair Taft pointed out to, Mr. Roland that when the Commission
approved the subject court, there was not as much opposition
as there is now.
Mr. Scott Smith addressed the Commission concerning removing
the authorized court that was previously approved. He
disagreed that it be removed because a new homeowner moved
in.
Chair Taft explained the policy for removal and installation
of volleyball courts which the Commission reviews when
applications are received. The Commission tries to satisfy
as many as possible and petitions can be obtained and re-
viewed at any time.
Mr. Bill Schonlau, 4207 Seashore, addressed the Commission.
He reviewed his study of the volleyball court locations on
the Peninsula, pointing out there are five courts at the
•
subject location, two being tandem of which one is unauth-
orized. The subject court is in the center of the five which
is one of the narrowest locations on the beach. He stated
this area has the most dense concentration of volleyball
courts in-the City and the absence of public parking exag-
gerates the problems of parking and direct access for
volleyball players. He urged the center court be relocated
to an area that is not as dense in order that there be more
even distribution of courts which would also ease the
parking situation.
Mike Roland addressed the Commission stating that the other
authorized courts are closer to home; that there are four
courts in the area, not five; and that there is a wide path-
way for vehicles and pedestrians in the subject area.
Commissioners Konwiser and Compton recommended only removing
the unauthorized courts and retaining the authorized
courts.
i
Commissioner Herberts stated she felt that if all the courts
in the area are being used, they should be retained since
the beach is a public recreational facility.
Chair Taft stated the majority opinion two years ago was to
retain the court. Although he would prefer the court be
moved to the end of 42nd Street, he would support retention.

Item #9 - Oasis Conceptual Plan

Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Director Whitley who
Plan
reported the Oasis expansion has been funded and proposed
for next fiscal year.. Public Works has selected The Blurock
Partnership as the architect for the project, and with the
Commission's approval, plans and specs can proceed.
Director Whitley then reviewed the conceptual plan and the
reasons for the additions and changes.
Commissioner Konwiser questioned the proposed parking plan
and recommended it be redone as there needs to be more space
allowed for access and turning.
Commissioner Grant agreed that the parking plan needs to be
redone. He'also questioned if the extra space allocated
to the administrative area is needed and requested a
personnel assessment and needs study.
Commissioner Demmer explained that the growth and needs
assessment in the area of Human Services requires accommoda-
tions for counselors and badly needed service areas. She
explained two human service programs that were being intro-
duced to the Oasis facility and expansion to accommodate
these and other programs. The rooms will be built to be
flexible so easy modifications can be made to allow for
maximum utilization.

Mr. Jack Brooks
City Of Newport Beach
Parks Beaches and Recreation Dept.
P. O. Box 1768
Newport Beach, CA 92659
Dear Mr. Brooks,
I wish to appeal the Street Tree Committee decision to deny the
removal of the tree that is in the parkway in front of my home.
The roots from this tree have made it impossible to grow grass in
not only the parkway, but in the larger part of the lawn for
which I am responsible.
• It is necessary at this time to replace the lawn. In order to do
so, all tree roots in my part of the area must be cut away. The
landscapers tell me that the existing bermuda lawn must then be
treated with Round -up, or something comparable. The dead lawn is
then to be removed, and the area scraped down two to three
inches. The next procedure is to treat the ground with Vapam and
cover it with plastic for approximately one month. New sod will
then be put down. The landscapers will not guarantee that roots
will not continue to grow, thus bringing me back to square one.
In my previous letter I sent a copy of the notice from the
community association asking that I take care of the parkway. My
neighbors are also distressed that my lawn is making the entire
street look unkempt. You are, I am sure aware of the importance
of appearances in the community in which I live.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward
to a favorable response in the near future. I would very much
like to replace my lawn this Spring.

The Committee recommends:

RE: Park adjacent to the American Legion Building

.Balboa Penninsula
Dear Commissioner Grant,
Upon request of Chairman Taft at the April 3rd Commission meeting,
I am submitting a request to your committee to acknowledge my concerns
regarding the useage of the park immediately adjacent to the American
Legion Building.
The concerns that I have regarding this park are as follows;
1. parking on city park turf C" ,�', 4 S'w44
2. no recreational accomodations �' wri^
3. what is the neighborhood and /or public useage?
4. possible site development for active or inactive recreational
useage.
I wish to recommend the Commission review the lease of the American
Legion Building and the parking agreement with the city. I would like
the Commission to be aprised of all the recreational facilities in the
area that are exclusively used by the American Legion and what is avail-
able for public useage.
I would also like to suggest to the committee an assessment of needs
be made of the public useage of this open space and the possible implemen-
tation of needed active recreational facilities.
Upon your review of this request and with your recommendation, I
would like to discuss these items at a Commission meeting as a discus-
sion item on the agenda.
Thank you for your time and acknowledgement of this request.

MAY, 1990 PROGRESS REPORT
Special Events
Item No. 12
Our first "Community Youth Awareness "'Week was deemed highly successful. Newport
Harbor and Corona del Mar High 'Schools both benefited by a Job Fair. We hosted
24 local businesses recruiting students for summer job opportunities. We have
estimated that 1,000 students from both campuses took part in the fair during .
their lunch break. This event was followed by "Youth in Government Day" in
which 63 students and 48 city employees were matched up to run the City for
a few hours concluding the day with a mock Council session. Dan Iwata has
worked very hard for the past 6 months on this project and is to be commended.
The Memorial Day Picnic sponsored once again by the Newport Heights Homeowners
Association and the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department was also very
successful. Approximately 1,000 people took part in the festivities.
The Maui and Sons Surf Contest is ready for its June 9th date. The contest may
be viewed at 54th to 56th Streets in West Newport.
Also scheduled for June 9th is the 9th Annual Corona del Mar Scenic 5K on Ocean
Boulevard and Iris Street in Corona del Mar: The race and walk will be a sell out
this year. We are expecting 1500 men /1500 women and 500 walkers to participate
in the event and gourmet breakfast.
• Playground Program
Summer staffing is now completed for all areas of the park and 'playground program.
We will be staffing the Corona del Mar Youth Center Monday through Friday from
10:00 A.M. to 6:30 P.M., West Newport Community Center and Mariners Park from
10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. We are initiating a traveling
game and craft wagon to visit the non - staffed areas one day a week. The program
includes Bonita Creek Park, Newport Heights School, Andersen School, Newport
Elementary and Irvine Terrace Park. The recreation leaders will be at each area
from 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. We are also initiating Camp Newport for 5 to 8
year olds at the Community Youth Center. This is a week long camp meeting at
8:00 A.M. and concluding at 1:00 P.M. (except on excursion days).
Sports
Our summer softball program has begun with 247 teams. This is a total,of 33 leagues
and approximately 3,495 players. The 83 spring basketball teams are finishing up
their leagues. Summer registration ended May 25.
Contract Classes
Spring classes are coming to an end this week. 1,803 people took part in this
quarter's offerings. One big increase this spring was charted in the area of
children's dance. Last spring we registered 93 students. This spring we had
148 children participating.
•�j Staff has worked real hard in the last month preparing a room for the karate classes.
We will leave the rented room at Corona del Mar High School in favor of the dance
studio at the new West Newport Community Center. This will'save the Department
the cost of using a School District facility.
dZ
The Environmental Nature Center Camps are almost sold out for the summer. The
Kings River Raft Trip is sold out.
Our tennis program revenue took an upswing of 10% this quarter. Staff attributes
this increase to good weather and the popularity of the Mr. Pee Wee Tennis'Camps.
Aquatics
The Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center is finally open. Many swim groups are submitting
permits for use to the Department. F.O.P. has been assisting staff in identifying
all the user groups. We are still hiring pool staff but hope to be complete in the
next two weeks.
Seniors
May was "Older Americans Month ", a time to celebrate the accomplishments of the
elderly in America. To honor this occasion we-held an old fashion.country picnic
on May 22. 150 seniors participated in lunch and special activities.
The shared housing program held a bi- annual mixer on May 11. Approximately 60
seniors attended. These are seniors living on fixed incomes and looking for ways
to cut costs. 300 seniors participated in the May 5 Health Fair. Hoag Hospital
provided nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and use of their
Public Relations Department. 'The event was very 'beneficial for all.
Seniors Supervisor Celeste Jardine -Haug will be leaving us for maternity leave
beginning June 20. Coordinator,Kathy Ready will be the Acting Supervisor in
. her absence.

SUBJECT: Meeting at Dr. Pike'srHouse, May 22, 8:30 P.M.
On Tuesday evening, May 22, Parks, Beaches and Recreation staff members
Nancy Beard and Bob Granger, Commissioner Jo Vandervort, and eledtrician
Brian Da`msho from Mel Smith Electric met at #3 Monterey Circle to view
Dr. Pike's continuous complaints on light spillage from the Lincoln
Athletic Center. The electrician brought a light meter to measure the
effects of the Athletic Center's lights.
As we arrived at approximately 8:20 P.M., the sun was still going down and
the light meter was reading 1.9. Dr. Pike stated that it was too early
to really view the effects of the lights so the group waited for darkness
to fall. As we waited,, Brian kept the light-meter in check. The later
it got (and the darker it got) the lower the light readings became until
it settled at approximately .3 at 8:30 P.M.
What Dr. Pike is seeing is the glow of the lighted field in his spectacular
view. There is virtually no light spillage in his yard.
A map spotting the facility and Dr. Pike's home is attached.

RE: l4knoolmt'eahool Ballfields
bear Ms. ftord,
As you reeradated I met with you at the project site on May
22e 1990 at'8:00 P.M.. We than went to a private residence
that was located at 93 Monterey circle. Upon your request I
personally took ambient light level readings with a
footcandle light meter. This test was performed to show if
any excess light from the ballfield lights are contributing
to the ambt�tt light at this residence.
I took the'lirst reading about 8:15 P.M..and found there to
be little change in the meter readings from when the meter
was receiving the light input from only the residence. To
•when the meter was directed at the ballfield. I than took a
second reading at about 8:25 P.M. and found this change to be
even leas when taken, using the same procedure.'
As a result-of this test, and what I wi.tnessed:of this
problem. I feel that the ballfield lights have little effect
to the ambient light at this residence. It is Ity opinion that
the problem,is caused by the Homeowner's attention being
directed to the ballfield by what are•now newer, brighter, -
and more efSicient lights.
I hope that this test will help you to resolve�this' problem.
