Corona del Mar Director Whitley referred to the material provided and reported that the subject Mock Orange Tree and subsequent landscaping at 2701 INDEX :all to Order toll Call Ipproval of linutes ldoption of lgenda 'ree Removal ,equest CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 2 City Council, Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Ocean Boulevard was approved in the early 19701s. The tree in the landscape environment has caused a view impact problem over the years and, although the property owner has trimmed, it continues to be a recurring problem. In response to a question from Commissioner Demmer, Director Whitley explained that the tree is in a public right -of -way and, therefore, an encroachment; and that one of the conditions in the encroachment process is that the property owner installs the tree and maintains it. Director Whitley also explained that the previous Director recalled the approval for the encroachment at that time, however, now the process requires an approved permit. • Chair Vandervort opened the meeting to' Public Testimony and Mr. Carter Wurts, 2700 Ocean Boulevard, addressed the Commission. Mr. Wurts urged the Commission to consider preserving the view of the ocean and asked if there were any questions regarding the letter he submitted. In response to a question from Commissioner Demmer asking if there were any other owners concerned about the subject tree,, Mr. Wurts reported that 20 residences are impacted by the tree at 2701 Ocean Boulevard. He then presented a petition signed by 18 and noted that the other two were not available. Attached to the petition was a map showing the impacted residences and the right -of -way. In response to a question from Commissioner Compton concerning the three Palms on the corner of 2700, Mr. Wurts stated there have been no complaints from his neighbors and that although they grow high, they do not spread and the City regularly trims them. Mr. Wurts passed out City Council Policy L -6, Private Encroachments in Public Rights -of -Way, and read those sections that pertain to this issue, pointing out that Chapter 10.50 of the Municipal Code states that if approved planting is not maintained for view and safety clearance, the offending material can be removed. CITY 'OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Mr. Wurts then presented a compromise in lieu of his original request to remove all plant specimens from the right -of -way. He requested (1) That only the Mock orange Tree be removed since this is the major problem; and (2) That the Department, Mr. Gray, the neighbors and he develop a written maintenance agreement for the remaining plant specimens. Referring to Policy L -6, Commissioner Grant pointed out that the improvements in the right - of -way were legally installed. Mr. Wurts stated there was never a public notice for improvements on the right -of -way, nor has the City been able to show what was approved. In reponse, Commissioner Grant pointed out that since the Building Permit and Certificate of Occupancy were • issued, assumption must be made the landscaping was legal until it is illegal. proved Mr. John Gray, 2701 Ocean Boulevard, addressed the Commission. Mr. Gray reported construction was started in October, 1971, following purchase of his lot five months earlier. Two sets of plans for hardscape and landscaping were submitted. These plans showed the walkway, deck, wall, the Mock Orange Tree, two Coral Trees, two Evergreen Pear Trees and the ground cover. The plan was approved and signed subject to the condition that a 5' wide sidewalk be installed adjacent to the curb on Ocean Boulevard, with which he complied. He also pointed out that Mr. and Mrs. John Hamilton were building at the same time with the same architect and went through the same procedure. Mr. Gray further stated that he has maintained the landscaping, removed the two Coral Trees at the request of his neighbors and has kept the Evergreen Pears trimmed below the curb level of Ocean Boulevard. The Mock Orange is a slow growing multi - stemmed nice looking tree which does not obscure all ocean views. He felt the •tree accents the view and, when properly trimmed, 1 is an asset to the area. He agreed the tree needs trimming and would have done so earlier but decided to delay it until this matter was resolved. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 Citv Council Chambers 7 n_m_ INDEX Dr. Joseph Cavon, 2714 Ocean Boulevard, addressed the Commission and stated he felt trees in their proper perspective are beautiful, but they should not obstruct ocean views. The Mock Orange Tree is an eyesore to him since it blocks his view of Balboa Island and half of the Newport Harbor. He urged the tree be removed and other landscaping be installed, such as planters, flowers or dwarf trees. Since Mr. Gray's house is up for sale, Commissioner Compton questioned if the tree removal would affect the sale of the property and Dr. Cavon stated he did not think so. Commissioner Compton inquired if this is the start of a movement to remove all the trees in the area, and Dr. Cavon replied he did not know, • but that this isn't the first time trees are obstructing ocean views. Hannah Flynn, 202 -1/2 Fernleaf, addressed the Commission and stated she felt the Palms in the area are no problem but that large trees impact views, such as the subject tree which blocks her view of a section of the channel. Mr. Per Trebler, 177 Shorecliff, addressed the Commission as attorney for Carter Wurts. In referring to the legality of the landscaping, Mr. Trebler pointed out that there are no public documents to prove Mr. Gray's plan was approved, however, he will assume Mr. Gray built in accordance with the plans and approved specimens were planted. Mr. Trebler explained that this is not a situation of Wurts vs. Gray, but is one of Wurts vs. the City. The City owns the property and is allowing growth contrary to public interest. He suggested the City assert control, examine how it is managing its property and formulate a maintenance agreement for the future., Since the • tree has become such a problem, Mr. Trebler proposed removing the Mock Orange Tree and entering into an agreement for maintenance of the property. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 ,D.m. INDEX During discussion of writing a new policy on maintenance standards for this property, Commissioner Compton pointed out that when a City tree is installed, the homeowner maintains it to City standards. Commissioner Compton also questioned why this issue is before the Commission at this point in time, rather than 10 years ago. Mr. Wurts explained that the situation has continued to get worse and is now out of control. In response to a question from Commissioner Demmer, Jack Brooks explained that the Mock Orange Tree is a "standard" which is a shrub trimmed to be a small tree. Mr. Trebler then summarized the critical issues such as the fact that there are no legal • documents of an approved plan and that the Mock Orange Tree could have been identified on the plan as a bush which was subsequently allowed to grow and become a nuisance. In response to a question from Commissioner Compton, Mr. Gray stated removing the tree would be a detriment to his landscaping, but he doubted it would hurt the sale of his house. Commissioner Demmer asked Mr. Gray if he would agree to removal and replacement of a plant of his choice which would also be agreeable to Mr. Wurts. Mr. Gray indicated he would consider such an option subject to the replacement being an equal asset to the landscaping. Mary Lou Gray, 2701 Ocean Boulevard, addressed the Commission. Mrs. Gray stated that since the tree was legally planted and it is a lovely tree which they trim, she does not want it removed. During discussion by the Commission, Commissioner Konwiser commended those who spoke for their excellent comments and documentation. He stated that in his opinion Mr. Gray obtained the proper • permission to install his landscaping and that, although the policies have changed since 1971, the City was strict and thorough in approving the plans. He recommended the tree remain and that it be pruned annually so that a view can be seen CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission June 2, 1992 Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX through the tree. He further encouraged Mr. Gray and Mr. Wurts to work together toward a compromise in this regard. Commissioners Compton and Grant agreed with Commissioner Konwiser and stated they also feel the tree is an asset to the area. Commissioner Grant added that removal of the tree would also mean consideration should be given to removing 31 other trees. Also, from his observation, the tree only impedes Mr. Wurts' view from one room of his house. In addition, the Eucalyptus Tree on Mr. Gray's property is behind the Mock Orange and would have the same effect. Commissioner Demmer recommended a policy be developed that addresses this type of encroachment. *on Commissioner Compton motioned to retain the tree and that Mr. Gray follow through with trimming per City standards. Upon a suggestion from Commissioner Grant, Commissioner Compton amended the motion to state that the tree be retained and the homeowner trim Ayes x x x x and daylight the tree on a yearly basis. x x Unanimous. Chair Vandervort informed Mr. Wurts that he can appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. Item #6 - Harbor View Hills Trees 4arbor View ills Trees Director Whitley reported the street trees in the original development of Harbor View Hills are the Ficus Nitida which have caused view problems, sidewalk damage, and expensive plumbing repairs due to its root system. The Mayor received a letter on this subject from a homeowner and requested this Commission review the matter along with Council Policy I -91 Retention or Removal of • Park and Parkway Trees In part, I -9 states that the Tree Committee obtain representation from the community. Mr. Whitley added that if the homeowners association also agrees, the Department does feel more CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 7 City Council Chambers 7 ,p.m. INDEX comfortable doing more removals. In summary, removals can be done by individual request, by a phased program, or in cooperation with the association. Mr. Clark Hayes, 1106 Goldenrod Avenue and President of the Harbor View Hills Community Association, addressed the Commission. He reported their CC &R's are strictly enforced concerning view obstruction, however, the parkway trees are the most offending. In the past the trees have been pollarded and sheared but eventually the new growth again impacted views. In addition, roots from the Ficus Trees invade the sewer and gas lines and buckle the sidewalks and curbs which is a huge expense, particularly for those on fixed incomes. • Mr. Hayes further reported that in the Association's Newsletter they requested anyone opposed to total removal and replacement of the parkway trees to notify them, and they have had only one call in opposition. The Association recommends the trees be removed in their entirety, rather than by phasing, and they would like to work with the City concerning replacement. Sara Booty, 2739 Windover Drive, addressed the Commission. Ms. Booty, as the Landscape Chair of Harbor View Broadmoor Homeowners Association, stated they have 20 Rusty Leaf Fig Trees that are causing the same problems in addition to their droppings. Their Association requests total removal and replacement with the same species as Harbor View Hills Community Association. Upon Commissioner Demmer's recommendation, Ms. Booty agreed to obtain signatures authorizing removal and replacement of the 20 trees. Ilma Cunningham, 1223 Goldenrod, addressed the Commission. Ms. Cunningham, a resident of •Broadmoor I, spoke of her drainage problems due �J to the Ficus roots. Jim Wharton, 1033 Goldenrod, addressed the Commission and stated the residents have expressed their desire for removal of all the CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Citv Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX trees at the same time. Mike Leber, 1509 Sandcastle Drive, addressed the Commission. As President of the Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association, he reported they have 449 homeowners with similar view and root problems. Many, but not all, of the trees have grown too large for the neighborhood and, therefore, they request an appropriate replacement tree. Commissioners Konwiser, Vandervort, and Compton recommended Mr. Leber contact the Tree Committee to review the matter. During discussion Commissioners Compton and Grant suggested the trees be phased out and that • consent from each homeowner be obtained and notification be transmitted to those who have not consented. Commissioner Konwiser pointed out that this could be a public relations risk; that the petition should be documented; that the Association contribute to the cost, perhaps 10%, to show good faith; that staff prepare a budget; and that the Tree Committee's new form for tree maintenance be transmitted to each homeowner. Motion x Commissioner Grant motioned to support the homeowner association's request for removal and replacement; that replacement be agreed upon between the Association and Director; that proof of notification of everyone in the Association be given to the Director; that a signed acceptance letter for those trees to be removed and replaced be obtained; that the Association pay 10% of the cost; and that staff prepare a budget for the Commission's approval. Director Whitley recommended that if the Commission is considering total removal that staff work with the Tree Committee and respective • Association with a final review by the Commission. V� Commissioner Grant withdrew his motion. CITY 'OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 9 Citv Council Chambers 7 D.m. INDEX Commissioner Konwiser suggested approval of removal /replacement trees be subject to the budget being funded and the Association's commitment to bearing 10% of the cost. Commissioner Grant stated he felt those unable to attend this meeting should also have the opportunity to provide input. Commissioner Demmer recommended the cost analysis be reviewed by the Tree Committee along with those trees requested to be retained. Motion x Commissioner Konwiser moved to approve the Harbor View Hills Community Association's request to remove in their entirety the Ficus Nitida trees; that a budget be prepared by the Director; that • the Association be required to post 10% of the costs before work is started; that the Association notify the Commission of their notification and results of that notification; and if the Director can find the funds within the budget that he do so; and, if not, return this issue to the Commission in order to find funding with this Commission's approval; and that the replacement tree be negotiated between the Ayes x x x x x x Department and the Association. Unanimous. Larry Weeshoff, 1407 Outrigger Drive, addressed the Commission. Mr. Weeshoff stated he lives in Harbor View Hills South and feels the City is not trimming enough of those trees that are blocking views. Mr. Weeshoff also stated he feels that if trees were trimmed more frequently, there would be less removals. Commissioner Grant explained that budget constraints preclude more frequent trimming, however, the City does allow a homeowner to hire a professional tree trimmer. In response to further questions, Jack Brooks explained that each tree is an individual case which is first referred to the Tree Committee. Brian Corrigan, 3607 Surfview Lane, addressed the • Commission. Mr. Corrigan stated he is a new homeowner in Harbor View Hills South and I questioned the procedures for removal /replacement.. \J L • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 10 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX ie City a budget Eirst be and the acil. ining to suction, &Till end a on the aed that soon be recreation iivision ark and treet Tree ivision ommittee, Recreation Program 1 be a Nlommittee ark and pen Space ommittee each ommittee udget ommittee ,ing his and is .ore his ed the )erative d their Commissioner Grant explained that t] attempts to trim for view but there ari constraints.

This matter has been referred to the Commission by the City Council for recommendation. Ronald A. WhIE-1-ey 0 Item No. 6 MEMORANDUM DATE: MAY 19, 1992 TO: P.B.& R. COMMISSION FROM: NANCY BEARD, RECREATION SUPERINTENDENT'p SUBJ: BEACH VOLLEYBALL COURTS The upcoming Commission agenda contains a consideration to relocate the volleyball court at 4905 West Oceanfront to the end. of 50th Street. This relocation is being considered because of a citizen complaint of the present location. The homeowners on West Oceanfront that border 50th Street have been notified, in writing, and the homeowner at 5001 West Oceanfront has contacted the depart- ment and expressed concerns with the proposed placement of a court near his property. This homeowner, Mr. Ron Arakelian, has indicated that he will be present at the June 2nd meeting. This proposal is in keeping with the long term goal of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department to place as many beach volleyball courts at street ends as possible in order to lessen the impact on • homeowners. As per policy, the court would normally be placed at least 50 feet from all property lines. Mr. Arakelian's first reaction to the proposal was to not have a court at this location at all, but indicated that he might be open to the option of the court being placed farther out than 50 feet. Staff have reviewed the site and feel that this option would be acceptable, and that the beach would not be affected if the court were to be placed as far as 75 to 100 feet from all property lines. cc: Ron Whitley, P.B.& R.
