The Tree Committee, however, recommended to retain the tree. In accordance with Council Policy I -9, the resident is appealing the committee's decision to the Commission. Chair Compton opened the meeting to Public Testimony and Lucille Kuehn, 1831 Seadrift Drive, addressed the Commission. Mrs.' Kuehn thanked the Commission for viewing her tree, stating that only Commissioner Herberts was there at a time when it was a mess and not cleaned up. Mrs. Kuehn explained the location of the subject tree which is next to the fire hydrant and adjacent to the Maleleuca Tree. She reported it is impossible to park in front of her house due to the location of the fire hydrant eliminating footage and the droppings from the tree. Mrs. Kuehn stated her trees are regularly trimmed and she would welcome a replacement tree that does not make such a mess. There being no further public testimony, Chair Compton closed the meeting to public hearing. During discussion Commissioner Glasgow commented that the tree is a mature tree and looks better than most. Commissioner Herberts reported the Tree Committee unanimously voted to retain the tree since it is healthy, part of the tree scape, is the designated tree, and there is no sidewalk problem. She further pointed out that there are no stains on the sidewalk and the whole street is through fruiting until next summer. I • Commissioner Demmer recalled a similar appeal under the same conditions several years ago on the same street which the Commission voted to retain. She pointed out that excessive litter CITY 4F NBNP©RT BEACH Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission • y w� Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX is,not on the criteria for evaluation of removal. Motion x Commissioner Vandervort moved to Ayes x x x x x x x retain the tree at 1831 Seadrift Drive. Unanimous. Chair Compton advised Mrs. Kuehn of her right to appeal the Commission's decision to the City Council. In response to a question from - Commissioner Grant, Director Whitley explained that the normal tree trimming cycle has been updated from 2 years to 3 years due to the crews doing more work on root pruning and root barriers. Commissioner Grant advised Mrs. Kuehn . that homeowners can trim at their own expense in the interim. Commissioner Vandervort 'left the meeting at 8:05 P.M. Item 46 - Tree Removal Request - Tree Harbor View Broadmoor Community Removal Association Request Director Whitley reported that members of the Harbor View Broadmoor Community Association were at the Commission's June meeting and they were advised that their request would have to be addressed at a later time. This was scheduled, however, a request by letter' was received from Lee Price, property administrator, asking for this item to be postponed. In review and discussions with Mr. Price, it was mutually agreed that the matter be referred to the Tree Committee that would then work with the Association to address their specific trees and concerns. • Chair Compton opened the meeting to public testimony and Ms. Sara Booty, 2739 Windover Drive, addressed the Commission on behalf of the Association. Ms. Booty presented CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 ti c a� • ��o. 9��h°' m,6��ohc� h Citv Council Chambers 7 p.m. IPDD< pictures of some examples of the problems caused by the overgrown and root bound Ficus Trees in their community. The Association is requesting that 18 Bronze Leafed Ficus be removed due to the many problems they are causing, such as damage to sewer and gas lines, sidewalk and curb damage, view impacts and droppings. Ms.: Booty explained that originally the trees were all Eucalyptus, however, all but five have been eliminated through attrition. As the years passed, either a homeowner or the,City planted new trees. Ms. Booty then presented a petition signed by 55 of the 68 homeowners requesting removal of the 18 remaining • Bronze Leafed Ficus Trees. She stated the Association would be willing to pay a percentage of the cost for the removals. In response to a question from Director Whitley, Ms. Booty explained that the community was built in 1966 and the original tree was the Eucalyptus and the replacement tree was the Ficus. Most removal requests by individual - homeowners have been denied. Commissioner Grant recommended that when the Tree Committee meets with residents and the Association that they consider (1) What kind of support there will be for new trees, (2) How much money the Association will provide, and (3) Their internal view preservation policy. Ms. Booty explained that their CC &Rls, written 25 years ago, have worked well with their "Good Neighborhood Policy." . / / In effect, no tree is to be higher IIIJJJ than roof line if it impacts views. Ms. Booty further pointed out that planting trees in certain parkways may present a problem for those who have CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches 8 Recreation Commission • Page 5 'Co o_ h n o n City Council Chambers 7 p.m._ INDDC landscaped their parkway areas with no trees. Commissioner Herberts suggested the Association consider the fact that if all the mature trees are removed, they will essentially have a denuded neighborhood since it takes ten years for a tree to begin to mature. There being no further public testimony, Chair Compton closed the meeting to public hearing. Chair Compton recommended, and the Commission agreed, that the Tree Committee should meet with the Association, their representatives and Jack Brooks to be followed with final recommendations to the Commission. Commissioner Vandervort suggested that they meet on -site, which also met with the Commission's approval. Item 47 - Volleyball Court Request - Volleyball 1522 W. Oceanfront Court Request Director Whitley passed out a letter just received from Tom Berean, 1600 W. Oceanfront, wherein he requests the poles be moved further toward the water and that petition names be checked for validity. Commissioner Grant reported the Beach Committee concurs with staff's recommendation that the poles located at 1522 W. Oceanfront be made legal and located as close to the street end as possible. They will be painted and signed in accordance with Departmental policy. Motion x Commissioner Grant motioned to accept X x x x i x x staff's recommendation. Unanimous. CITY OF Parks.

Director Whitley passed out a letter just received from the Marquis Management Group formally requesting that this matter be continued to the October meeting. Recommendation is that the issue be referred to the Recreation Program Committee so that they can analyze the situation and present their recommendations. Chair Compton reported the Recreation Program Committee will transmit proper notification to the homeowner associations, adult and youth user • groups and any interested parties that they will hold public hearings on the uses of Bonita Creek Park. Following these meetings, the committee will present their recommendations to the Commission. Commissioner Herberts pointed out that in 1991 the City Council concurred with this Commission's decision that the uses of Bonita Creek Park were both legal and proper. She questioned why this matter is again before the Commission. Director Whitley explained that the original request was from an individual and that the current request is from the Association. Commissioner Grant recommended the Recreation Program Committee meet in September for Commission review in October. Chair Compton pointed out that, although the park was designed as a night lighted activity park, he felt the key issue is the recreational uses of the park.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Fred Thompson, 124 East Bay Avenue, addressed the Commission as President of the Central Newport Beach Community Association. Referring to the 15th Street Park, he stated it was his understanding that the Department's policy is that 15th Street Park can be used for parking by the American Legion 6 times a year. The American Legion admits they use it 11 times a year. On Saturday, August 1, it was used without going through the special event process and someone opened the locks to allow parking on the grass. Mr. Thompson requested a uniform policy be adopted with no exceptions. Their annual meeting is September 10 at 7:30 P.M. to address such a policy. Director Whitley agreed the use which occurred August 1 was unauthorized and that the lock will be changed. He • explained that for the past 4 -5 years the American Legion has had a key along with a training session to cover matters such as covering sprinkler heads, etc., which has worked fairly well.

In response to a question from Commissioner Schonlau, Director Whitley advised that Mr. Sipple has up to six months to appeal to the City Council. Commissioner Herberts questioned why it takes several months in some cases to replace a tree when policy is that a tree be planted as soon as possible after removal. Director Whitley will pursue. Item #11 - Recreation Divsion In response to a question from Commissioner Demmer, Nancy Beard explained that 58 softball teams were turned away due to a lack of lighted facilities.

We contacted the Parks Department about correcting a problem with some ficus trees in front of our home. Since that contact we have had two slip and fall accidents with family members losing their balance on the front sidewalk because of those miserable dirty berries. We have taken steps to sweep the sidewalk ourselves, as well as having our gardener do the same. Despite our best efforts we still have the problem, which I believe is now beyond the level of annoyance and is actually a dangerous condition. Please consider this a formal request to remove the two ficus trees tand /freplra�ce xm with more suitable trees. Michael L. Michel MLM:ig • L�, Item No. 8 • August 15 1992 William A.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92659 Dear Mr. Brooks, • In response to my original letter, I received your recent denial notice. My original letter, which I trust was passed on to you, never simply mentioned tree removal but did request a discussion of options to solve this ongoing problem. L I definitely appeal your cut and dry response. This is a city tree on city property causing damage to my sewer service, possibly even at a point on city property. In my opinion this is clearly a city responsibility. I would like to state that I have no intention of willingly spending any additional money on rooter service or the probable replacement costs to follow. I am enclosing my most recent Rotor Rooter bill which I definitely feel should be reimbursed back to me by the city of Newport Beach due to the lake of action by the city on this matter. Finally, I would like to clearly state that I plan on taking whatever steps are necessary to have this entire matter satisfactorily closed. Frankly, I am shocked by the lack of concern and the irresponsibility shown by the City of Newport Beach in regards to this matter. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. sinc William A.

Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92659 -1768 RE: TREE REMOVAL AT 500 BEGONIA AVENUE CORONA del MAR, CA 92625 Commissioners: Item No. 10 I would like at this time to make an official appeal to the denial of my request to remove and replace the street trees on 2nd Street of the subject property. •My wife and I are building a new home at the subject property. We have tried very hard to keep the new home in the tradition of old Corona del Mar. The property has been in the family since 1946, so we feel very strongly about this tradition.. The City requires that we install a sidewalk on 2nd Street. Trees of this variety are known to have a shallow root system. This raises the possibility of damage to the sidewalks in the future. A few years ago one of the trees had the top third of the main trunk break. Fortunately it did not hit the previous home. We would not like this to happen again and damage our new home. We have offered to pay for the removal of these trees and to replace them with trees of the City's choice. This offer is still in effect. We pray that the Commission will look favorably on this appeal and give us permission to remove the trees. We would be happy to appear before the Commission at any time if this would be desired.

We endorse the plan as proposed. We have some suggestions for the consolidated view park that might ease the utilization for the handicapped: 1. Provide ramp from bikepath to pedestrian loop path proposed for the consolidated portion of the viewpark. 2. Provide minimum or level grade at least in the western end of the pedestrian loop for wheelchair convenience. 3. Discourage bike riding on the pedestrain loop. Strategic placement of the proposed bike rack and application of a small sign on it might be appropriate. 4. Request that the southern edge of the consolidated viewpark be treated like the bluff edge of Galaxy Park for aesthetic purposes. The viewpark is shaping up like we hoped it would!

We have a new coact-, Ellen Bryant, who is setting a tone of pride and sportsmanship. The boosters are also very enthusiastic and supportive. As we have evaluated our needs and ways to improve the program, the deteriorated court conditions have become obvious We realize these are school district courts, but they are actually used as often, or more, by the general public than by our students. We realize that some precedents exist for joint usage of school district facilities, such as the pools at the two high schools. We, therefore, would like to request assistance in bringing these courts up to the high standard held for the city maintained courts in our area. We are aware that the budget planning process for this fiscal year has already been completed. We would, therefore, like to request any assistance you could offer this year in the line of windscreens, net center straps, or manpower, The courts will also need painting and other repairs in the years to come and because of this we would like to be included in the budget planning process on an annual basis. We are listing below the most urgently needed repairs as well as the bid amounts we received to proceed immediately. - New Windscreen around all courts, four new nets, repairs and center straps - $4250 - New Windscreens installed on south end only - $1833 - 4 new nets, center straps, and repairs - $ 572 Ron, we realize this is late notice, but would appreciate it if you could present this to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission at your September 1 meeting. We will be there to answer any questions which might arise or you may call me at 640 -7679.
