CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Konwiser referred to City Council Policy I -12, Obstruction of Views by Trees, which he felt would authorize such tree removals. Commissioner Demmer stated she felt Westcliff Park is one of the most beautiful parks"in the City.

Commissioner Herberts referred to the picture of the three Eucalyptus Trees. She stated if they are left alone, they will be well above the ocean view and would not obstruct views. Since they also add a skyline and aesthetic view, she would oppose taking them out. Although she prefers a park not be denuded, she stated she would consider removal of the 3 Palms directly in front of the patio at 1022 West - wind Way. • Vice Chair Vandervort stated she felt the trees give per- spective and enhance views, therefore, she would oppose removal: Commissioner Compton stated he felt only a couple trees block views and only those should be removed.

CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX V Aa I., _ �,I Jack Brooks stated they could further investigate and find out if there are enough additional roots or they could mound with additional soil. There being no further Public Testimony, public hearing was closed. During discussion, Commissioner Demmer stated she would favor removal and replacement since this is one of the worst root invasions on private property she has seen. Commissioner Konwiser agreed and suggested the same variety of tree be replanted. Commissioner Compton felt the subject tree is beautiful and would first consider root pruning. Should the Tree'Division deem this unsafe, then he would favor removal and replace- ment. Commissioner Herberts agreed with Commissioner Compton that root pruning first be considered if it is indeed safe. Motion x Commissioner Konwiser motioned that staff probe the lot to Ayes x x x x x x x see if there are sufficient underground roots to safely root prune.

Ocean Application Front for Volley- ball Court There being no Public Testimony, Chair Grant turned the meeting over to Vice Chair-Vandervort, Chair of the Beach and Oceanfront Committee. Commissioner Vandervort reported a letter was received requesting the subject court be placed on the west side, rather than the east side as requested by the applicant. The committee met and approved moving the court to the west side of the sidewalk and 50' away from the lifeguard tower. Chair Grant questioned if this.would necessitate reposting and Commissioner Taft advised it would not since those • residents within 200' of the property line have been notified Motion x Vice Chair Vandervort moved the volleyball court be put in Ayes x x x x x x x front of 1412 E. Ocean Front at a location no closer than 50' from the lifeguard tower.

Vice Chair Vandervort reported the Beach and Oceanfront Committee met to discuss a revision of the rules and regula- tions-which will be brought to the Commission for their review at their August 7, 1990 meeting. Item #9 - Request for Dedicated Park Bench Request for ' Dedicated Director Whitley reported the subject request is before the Park Bench Commission for the third time. The meeting was opened to Public Testimony and Mr. Ramzi Jajonie, 1109 Newport Center Drive, addressed the Commission. Mr. Jajone, brother of Darin in whose memory a park bench • with plaque is being requested, stated their original request was made on September 6, 1988, after which City Council Policy I -22, Naming of City Parks, was adopted on Sept- ember 12, 1988. Commissioner Demmer asked Mr. Jajonie where he wanted the bench placed and he replied he would like ft at 28th Street where Darin surfed. He added that if Darin were alive, he would have been able to contribute to the community in accordance with Policy I -22. There being no further Public Testimony, discussion by the Commission ensued. Commissioner Konwiser referred to Policy I -22 which he stated does not really address this issue. Commissioner Herberts reported there are many areas-.in the City where a donation would be beneficial if the dedication plaque were unobtrusive, well located and appropriate to the area. She stated she would approve a bench if it qualified but that the Commission should have full right of approval of all such donations and plaques. Director Whitley advised if a bench is located adjacent to the boardwalk, it requires an encroachment permit because . it is in a road right of way. He further advised that the Commission accepted'Mr.•Jajonie's original request subject to the bench without a plaque being put in a park site. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Compton stated he felt there needs to be con= sittency and some requests have been denied in the past. He felt a donation to a group would be more apropos. Commissioner Demmer felt there are areas that could use a park bench. She suggested a compromise with the applicant be reached in regard to honoring his request without starting a precedent, such as asking him if he would like to donate a bench with a plaque in another part of town. Chair Grant pointed out all policies, which are subject to interpretation, are reviewed in the fall and the Commission may want to review I -22. Commissioner Konwiser felt the issue is not a park bench and voiced his concern over-all-the requests the Commission might receive. The question is the difficult decision of where to draw the line, which is not opening up the possi- bility in the first place. He also commented that the Commission has an opportunity in the near future-to review the policy. Commissioner'Herberts suggested a list be maintained of those areas that need benches, drinking fountains, etc. Commissioner Taft pointed out that Laguna Beach has a plaque on almost every bench. Chair Grant summarized the issue by stating the Commission could either vote to accept or deny the request or table the issue until Policy I -22 is reviewed. Commissioner Compton felt the issue is the plaque, not the bench, and did not think I -22 is apropos in this issue. Motion x Commissioner Compton motioned to table the matter for 60 days Ayes x x x x x x x in order that the Commission can have an opportunity to further review the I -22 Policy and' the request. Unanimous. III.

DISMISSION: Currently in -lieu fees for park purposes are collected from developers of 50 units or less and certain condo conversion projects. The funds are placed in four (4) zones with the money being used within the zone collected. For some time, it has been desirable to establish a fund whereby funds are available to purchase small parcels that come on the market quickly and often • unexpectedly. By setting up a City wide fund generated from in- lieu'fees to be used solely for requisition, our objectives can be obtained in a timely manner. If there are questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call. FF Ronald A. Whitley __ "! im I • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER July 24, 1990 TO: RON WHITLEY FROM City Manager SUBJECT: ZONES OF THE PARK IN LIEU FEES Attached is a report dated July 23rd indicating the four zones, the amount collected, the amount spent and the current balances by zone. The City Council has requested that the PB &R Commission review the four designated zones and Section 19.50:050 Subsection (b) of the Municipal Code which states ". . . facilities reasonably related to serving the subdivision. . ." The Council has requested specifically that the Commission consider whether the zones should be changed into seven, the same as the Councilmatic district zones. Additionally, some members of the Council expressed a desire that these funds be used as a reserve to purchase land when land becomes available, especially in the park deficient areas of the City.
