ACTION ITEMS Item #5 - Tree Removal Appeal - 1500 Ruth Lane Tree Removal Appeal Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Commissioner Herberts, Chair of the Street Tree Committee, who reported that when they looked at the area there were 3 nice Eucalyptus Trees, two of which have been removed from the yard leaving one in the parkway. The committee voted to retain the tree since there was no sidewalk or curb damage. Director Whitley presented a letter from the appellant noting that she could not be present but asked that the Eucalyptus Tree in the parkway be removed. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 2 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Demmer reported Mrs. Woodward called her and apologized for not being able to attend the meeting and that she is concerned over the height of the tree. She would, however, be interested in having three trees planted on the parkway strip. Commissioner Konwiser stated he felt the tree is out of plac should be removed', and that there is not•room for three tree , . Commissioner Compton stated that although it is a healthy- and strong tree, it has been damaged and leans over the street area. Therefore, he would recommend the tree be removed. Commissioner Demmer recommended removal and replacement. Chair Taft concurred. Motion x Commissioner Konwiser motioned the tree be removed and staff P� x x x x x x work to replace it with no more than three Jacarandas. Unanimous. Item #6 - Tree Removal Appeal - 1812 Port Tiffin 'Place Tree Removal Appeal Chair Taft turned the meeting over to Commissioner Herberts who reported the Street Tree Committee voted to retain the tree since it was well shaped and causing no damage. Chair Taft opened the meeting to Public Testimony and Mrs. Marguerite Karnick, 1812 Port Tiffin Place, addressed the Commission. Mrs. Karnick stated that although the tree is healthy, the roots have gone under the sidewalk and into her lawn. Since she wants to replace her lawn, the roots need to be removed; if not, they may come back. She stated she was also sensitive to her neighbors' lawns and would like hers to look as nice as theirs. She would be willing to put another tree in if the subject•tree were removed. Commissioner-Konwiser reported•he favors retention since the tree adds to the street scape. He .felt the landscaping coul be done without removing the tree. Commissioner Demmer felt the parkway is exemplary and beautifully maintained compared to nearby areas. She saw • no justification for removal. Motion x Commissioner Herberts moved the tree at 1812 Port Tiffin Ayes x x x x x Place be retained and root pruned between the sidewalk and 3 parkway. Unanimous. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Motion Ayes • arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers , 7 p.m. INDEX Chair Taft thanked Mrs..Karnick for her presentation and complimented her for maintaining her property. He also advised her of her right to appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. Item #7 - Determine Agenda for.Joint Meeting with the City Determine Council Scheduled for Monday, June 25, 1990, Agenda for Joint Meetinc at 2:00 P.M. with City Chair Taft announced that twice a year the Commission meets Council with the City Council at their Study Session. The general procedure is for each committee chair to give a brief summary. Commissioners Vandervort and Konwiser advised they will be unable to attend, therefore, Chair Taft will represent their respective committees. Commissioner Herberts suggested she summarize the Park and Tree Division as a substitute for the Street Tree Committee. Chair Taft concurred. Item #8 - Corona del Mar High School Olympic Pool Policy Corona del Mar High Chair Taft reported the dedication ceremony on June 6 went School very smoothly. Olympic Pool Policy Commissioner Compton reported the Recreation Program Com- mittee met three times and thoroughly reviewed the proposed policy which has the committee's unanimous vote and staff's approval. However, under Fees and Deposits, there was a split vote to include Item #4 concerning the waiving of fees which he presented for the Commission's•consideration. During discussion of the proposed amendment, it was agreed the item was-redundant and not needed. x Commissioner Compton then moved to accept the policy on x x x x x x Use, Priorities and Fees for Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center as written without the amendment. Unanimous. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS Item #9 - 15th Street Park 15th Street Park Commissioner Konwiser reported the Open Space Committee met to address Commissioner Demmer's letter on the use of 15th CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Street Park located adjacent to the American Legion building The committee felt there was no problem on the occasional times the American Legion uses the site for parking since they cover the sprinkler heads and drive with care. The committee further recommended additional trees be planted. Commissioner Herberts pointed out the park is too small for a playing field and due to its size it should be left as is other than adding trees and benches. Commissioner Demmer thanked the Commission for giving this site their time. She presented an aerial.view of the site and pointed out it,is almost a half acre which is larger than the Carroll Beek Center /Park. In addition, vehicular and parking access is well accommodated compared to 38th Street Park and Channel Place Park. She urged the Commissio to address the issue of whether 15th Street Park is a parkin lot for the American Legion or whether it is a park for the public. If identified as a park, her opinion was that it does not equal the high standards of park.maintenance and beautification that exists in other parks throughout the City. She felt the turf is inferior, landscaping virtually non - existent and enjoyment of the park appears minimal. Commissioner Demmer passed out and read excerpts from the General Plan, including the Park Dedication,Ordinance, Service Area No. 2 for the Peninsula, Inventory and the Technical Supplement. She pointed out the General Plan recommends improving existing land before pursuing acquisitio . Commissioner Demmer recommended 15th Street Park be brought back as an action item to determine its identity -as a park or parking lot; that a policy be written.addressing parking on park sites; and that 15th Street Park be placed on a priority list as to future plans for beautification and possible assessment of recreation usage. Director Whitley advised that-the American-Legion is allowed to use the area for overflow parking about four times a year which•is done on a request basis. The park was developed in conjunction with the Central Newport Association and, therefore, both the Association and • American Legion would need to be informed and provide input should this be an action item. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers . 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Herberts reported the community was very opposed to anything active being put in the park and recommended the Bayfront homeowners also be informed if this is an action item. Commissioner Konwiser recommended the park be signed as j requested by Commissioner Demmer and that the parking issue be addressed. However, he questioned gathering the home- owners for their input on improvements when none are recommended. Director Whitley explained that the area was the old lawn bowling facility that was vacated and is in the park in- ventory as acreage tied into Las Arenas Park. It is thus considered part of Las Arenas Park, however, for identity purposes it is called 15th Street Park. Jack Brooks advised the Central Newport Beach Association did not want playground equipment at this site. They wanted it kept open and green and the Department followed their wishes. Small' trees which would not block any views could be planted along the American Legion building to provide a barrier between the'two properties. Commissioner Vandervort felt she would like the park site pursued and that perhaps current homeowners might want a basketball court. Chair Taft Suggested Commissioner Demmer consult with Jack Brooks concerning beautification and other ideas for the park. Item #10 - Status of Capital Projects Status of Capital Chair Taft questioned the Jamboree Road median and Jack Projects Brooks explained that the area from San Joaquin Hills to Ford Road is scheduled for next year due to a Public Works road project. Chair Taft inquired about the wall at West Newport Park and Jack Brooks reported the specs had to be redone and the Plexiglas lowered one inch. Item #11 - Request for Handball Wall at Begonia Park, Request for • Handball Item #11 was addressed following Item #8. Wall at Begonia Park Chair Taft reported a request has been made.to install a handball wall at Begonia Park. He then opened the meeting CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX to Public Testimony and Ms. Amber Westberg, 226 Goldenrod, addressed the Commission. Ms. Westberg stated she and her friends would like a hand- ball wall at Begonia Park or at a.location this side of the ` ocean to play handball, tennis or volleyball. Chair Taft noted that the lower portion of.the park between the two playgrounds'might be suitable. However, he pointed out that there have been complaints about the noise at the handball walls at San Miguel Park. Commissioner Konwiser pointed out that the cost factor needs to be considered and.suggested it first be determined if there would be.enough interest to justify the expense of a handball wall. He recommended those interested write or address the Commission. He added that both parking and safety ,factors appear reasonable at Begonia Park. • Commissioner Compton suggested Ms. Westberg obtain a petition from those in the immediate vicinity who favor a handball wall. Commissioner Herberts agreed and pointed „out• that due to the location of the park there should be no disturbance prob- lems for the neighbors. She also suggested that those interested in a handball wall could petition from a rather large area that would be within safe walking distance. Chair Taft thanked•Ms. Westberg for her presentation and encouraged her to pursue the matter. Item #12 - Recreation Division Recreation Division Nancy Beard reported there are,.two big special events on Saturday, June 9. The Corona del Mar Scenic 5K looks like it will be sold out since there are 2300 runners and 500 walkers presently registered. 'The Maui and Sons Surf Contest will take place at 54th Street. Chair Taft reviewed the successful Youth in Government Day during which all the Departments had Corona del Mar and Harbor High School students participate. • Nancy Beard gave a brief report on the Lincoln light situation at Dr. Pi:ke's house. As a result of a meeting attended by'the electrical contractor, Commissioner Vander - vort and herself, it was determined the light that Dr. Pike views from his backyard is a peripheral glow from the lighted facility. There is no direct light spillage in his yard.

A report is scheduled for the City Council' Study Session on June 25.

June 20,. 1990 As part of the Dover Shores Community Association, the Homeowners on Westwind Way, 8 in number wish to request and schedule another hearing on a tree view blocking situation involving 6 over -grown Eucalyptus and Palm Trees located along the edge and slope of the City's Westcliff 'Mini -Park. We are all tree - lovers up to a point, providing they are not causing problems when allowed to grow in an uncontrolled manner. The Homeowners in the Dover Shores Community Appreciate and value their views of the Upper Bay and its Boating activities and the night -time lights in the Bay -area. Ever since our Community was developed our CC &Re state that no tree can be allowed to grow over 14 feet in heighth in our Community if it blocks a Homeowners view. 'The City's Park Maintenance Department is only able to schedule tree maintenance in the Park every 2 years because of its work load and the minimal use of this small park. •The Photographs submitted indicate better than a lot of words the view - blocking conditions that now exists for our Homeowners. We would appreciate the City's co- operation in restoring our view to its original conditions before the trees in question grew so tall. Our spokesman, Mr. Ed Benson plans on being on hand whenever you find it convenient to schedule a meeting to review this matter of concern to us. If the Commission for whatever the reason cannot see their way clear to approve removal of all the view blocking trees we hope they can meet us half -way and approve removal of 3 designated Eucalptus Trees and some of the major view blocking Palm Trees on the Park's slope in front of some of the Homes.

When we trimmed them we took them back as far as possible. They did not look good and is not the type of trimming we' recommend for the trees. We can not trim them for about 8 months. If we were to start trimming for view our regular schedule would be lengthened. Therefore I recommend we remove the Eucalyptus trees and continue with our same trimming with the rest of the park trees. f� ., I� .: • • Item No. 7 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: July 2, 1990 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: TREE REMOVAL REQUEST - 1918 DEBORAH LANE Attached is a letter of appeal on a decision made by the Street Tree Committee to retain the street tree at 1918 Deborah Lane.

If you will recall, the Commission denied the request about a year ago as the request did not meet the criteria as established by City Council Policy. 0 DM • Mr. Ramzi Jajonie 1109 Newport Center Drive Newport Beach, California 92660 City of Newport Beach Parks, Beaches and Recreation P.O. Box 1768, Newport Beach, Dear Board Members: Department Ca 92658 -8915 This letter is written in support of consideration of dedicating a park bench with an appropriate attached placque in the memory of Darin Jajonie, a resident of Newport who passed away on October 9, 1987 as a result of Leukemia, at the age of twenty two. Realizing there are guidelines that apply for designation of public property as memorials, etc., I believe that Darin's actions and love of the community he embraced as his home are worthy of your consideration for a favorable decision. Darin's short lifespan did not offer the same opportunity of decades of communinity service that some patriarch's may have been • able to demonstrate, however his lifestyle and his committment to support group activities to other Cancer patients, especially other youth, would certainly be worthy of public recognition, that should be strongly endorsed by the city of Newport Beach.. It is no small achievement in our present society when any of our young adults going through the pressures of transition into young adulthood, can keep above the morass of temptations of drugs, unfullfilled educational opportunities and succumbing to poor work ethic habits. Darin's resolve to overcome these barrier's is truly a tribute that should encourage public recognition as an example of "What is Right With The Youth of Today." That needs to be emphasized in our society much more than it is. This memorial could be a well deserved public acknowledgement and testamony to something "positive" in the, community. One very noteworthy aspect of Darin's life which in my opinion more than justifies an approval of this request, is the fact that Darin committed himself so strongly to support and offer positive influences to others who were suffering from Cancer. He knew he was still undergoing stressful times with no guarantee of success and could very easily withdraw unto himself as a recluse from the rest of the world. Darin however being a concerned individual for his fellow humans undergoing similar traumatic • experiences, chose to take positve actions to bolster their spirits and morale. This singular unselfish act of concern for his fellow mankind, exemplifies the highest form of public service d • this young, but matured beyond his years, man could offer from all the resources available to him. No, he did not have a lot of money to donate to causes, but he had the best thing any human can offer; his time and talent in service to others with the hope they would make a positive difference in someone's life. Evidence of such unselfish contributions by Darin are shared with you with enclosures from other people and organizations such as Parents Against Leukemia, The Four Season,s Hotel., and Dr. Young. So please consider your decision on the basis of what one person offerred of all that he owned and not that a long list of acheivements or donations alone are the determining criteria. Some fortunate and good people in this world do make large contributions to society and it is not to be underestimated or unappreciated. What may be given in many cases is large but is also a smaller proportion of what was able to be given. This young man, Darin, gave all that was his to give and it happened in your community. Recognition of Darin Jajonie"s contribution to the welfare of others in the community certainly warrants a token of recognition and remembrance by the community he loved so well. I strongly recommend and request you favorably consider the request for designating a park bench with a commemorative plaque to the memory of Darin Jajonie. • Sincerely } • �O HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATES, INC.

As you know, I specialize in psychological aspects of children's cancer and I provided counseling and support for Darin while he underwent a bone marrow transplant at Children's Hospital of Orange County. • Although, I cannot disclose the content of our therapeutic sessions, I feel comfortable sharing with you some of the dreams and aspirations Darin often talked about with me and others. Even when he was physically tired, he frequently sought my advice regarding how to become a counselor. His plan was to overcome his illness, then pursue courses in psychology and counseling, to enable him to formally teach others what he had learned from his cancer experience and the other events which had shaped his life. Darin envisioned his personal mission as encouraging high school and junior high school aged youth to be productive, stay away from alcohol and drugs -, and most of all, to appreciate life._ He believed he possessed a unique perception in facing his death. He spoke of the desire to give lectures to young people in the community, at schools, and in churches. He asked me to create in -roads for him through the American Cancer Society of which I am a professional member. He was to become a welcome participant of the Speakers Bureau program when he recovered. • �I Woodbridge Medical Center 4950 Barranca Parkway Suite 209 Irvine, CA 92714 (714) 551-4272 J 11 Another project Darin and I had discussed was to write an article in Surfer Magazine about our mutual love of surfing and the relationship his cancer gave us the opportunity to share. Darin was first to point out that we had come from very different educational, social and cultural backgrounds. Yet, we enjoyed many of the same surf spots (in Newport Beach) and we laughed about the possibility that some time in the past one of us may have "cut the other off ", and been cursed by --a future friend. Ironically, we recognized it was only cancer that brought our two worlds together, and we were mutually disheartened that life crises are required before people are willing to reach out to each other's humanness. I an saddened that Darin was not able to bring these dreams to actualization. I hope a memorial in his honor can approximate what he stood for. • My warms t regards, r David A. Young, Ph.D. M.P.H. 0 3 �L v�� U PARENTS AGAINST LEUKEMIA ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER 05 July 1989 To Whom It May Concern: On occasion it is important to take a few moments to acknowledge the special efforts of an 3 ndiYidual and to offer our special thanks" Darin Jajonie was one such individual. Through his volunteer work with our organization, Darin was able to touch the lives of many; most of whom he would never meet" Parents Against Leukemia is an organization devoted to raising funds to be used e:clusively towards the research and development of a cure to end this relentless disease" A network of volunteers devote their time and energy into or^anizin9 and participating in various fund raising activities throughout the year. It is through the hard work of^volunteers only that each task is accomplished" Darin Jajonig devoted tireless hours to our organization" His efforts were selfless. He fought for a cure to the disease robbing him of his own life; fully aware that the cure would not reach him in time" Darin did it for the others. For this we thank him- He made.a difference-. Sincerely, *Lnda Aahrtin President Parents Against Leukemia July 31, 1989 To Whom -St May Concern: Darin Jajonie was hired by the Four Seasons Hotel Newport Beach on 5/5/86 as a full -time Houseperson for our Banquet Department and was employed until his illness no longer permitted him to work. Darin was part of our "opening team" job particularly during the "crunch" was well suited in his position and t managers and co- workers. • in conclusion, Darin was an asset to of by the Four Seasons Hotel Newport and he did an excellent days of opening.

Seonle (Olymptc) - Wo ltr9ion, DC K City of Newport Beach Dept. of Parks, Beaches and Recreation Newport Beach, CA 92660 To Whom It May Concern: We represent a group of parents in the Orange County area who belong to the Bereaved Parent Support Group. Our group is made up of parents who have lost a child in death, whether it be due to illness, accident, or any other manner. We only meet the children of the parents in our group "through the eyes" of each mother and /or father. We acknowledge that it has not been our privilege to know Darin Jajonie, but we do know Sharon Jajonie, and have "met" Darin through the person who knew him the best .... his Mom.... We have found that after losing a child it is of great importance to those who knew him /her, especially the parents, to have him remembered and honored as is justified. In Darin's case we are aware of his love of Newport Beach and all that the beach area had to offer, and it was his intent to have a family and contribute to the community of Newport Beach ... but the tragedy of Leukemia took that goal away from him. Since his love of the seaside were so predominate, it seems only appropriate that Mrs. Jajonie be allowed to commemorate her son with a park bench to be used by all who come to see how lovely this community is. Of course to honor Darin it should have his name inscribed on a small plaque. We feel as though this would not only be a just reward to the memory of Darin, but would be an asset to the community. What a lovely way to show respect to Darin!.... to place a park bench where others could sit and enjoy the beauty of Newport Beach as Darin did so often. The loss of someone as young as Darin is always difficult to understand.... and even though we cannot come to grips with the "why" issue.... it would seem as though this request is not unreasonable. It would mean so much to not only Sharon Jajonie and Darin's siblings, but to the many friends with whom he shared his love of Newport Beach ... and also to those of us who have gotten to know of Darin after his death. We respectfully ask that you reconsider this request by the Jajonie Family.... and that you consider wavering the condition placed on this request that a plaque only be placed on the bench if the individual had made significant contributions to the City of Newport Beach .... Darin's life was too short to meet this criteria ... but his love of the beach was everlasting.
