Item #8 - Tree Removal at 1009 East Balboa Boulevard
Director Niederhaus reported the large Ficus nitida is causing major
sidewalk damage which necessitates its removal.
Virginia Herberts, 2290 Channel Road, addressed the Commission.
Mrs. Herberts requested the ficus trees remain from Main Street to
the Y until the underground utilities are installed within the next
couple years. Mrs. Herberts feels the trees could remain this length
of time without causing further damage. To remove them at this time
would make the area look too sparse.
Jesse Sell, 1009 E. Balboa, addressed the Commission and
explained the damage the ficus tree has caused to the street,
sidewalk, driveway, curb and-power lines.
Motion

Commissioner Bonner moved to remove the tree at 1009 E. Balboa

Kay Mortenson, 1530 Miramar Drive, addressed the Commission.
Ms. Mortenson stated she understands the reasons for
recommending the tree removal at 1516 Miramar due to its extensive
root development. She requests the tree at 1536 Miramar be saved
since the root structure is similar to others that have been
successfully root pruned. Furthermore, the property is in escrow and
the new property owner should be allowed to provide input since the
tree is considered an asset to the property.
'Marcy Lomeli advised that the tree will be subject to failure when a
substantial amount of tree roots are removed and the hardscape is
repaired. Replacement trees can• be planted when the repairs are
completed.
Harry Otting, 1516 Miramar, addressed the Commission and spoke
of the root damage intruding into his pool area. He urged the tree be
removed.
There being no further public testimony, Chair Vandervort closed the
public hearing.

Item #10 - Tree Appeals
10a - 986 Sandcastle Drive
Director Niederhaus reported that in the Harbor View Hills South
area there have been 67 tree removal requests. Thirty nine trees
have been removed due to hardscape damage; 41 trees have been
planted and 595 trees have been trimmed for a total cost of $35,485.
This represents 10% of the total annual tree budget spent in one
homeowners association area. There are no other trees scheduled
for removal with the possible exception of one. The 19 additional
requests for tree removals due to view problems and potential liability
from falling branches do not fall under the G -1 Policy and are not
recommended for removal.
Chair Vandervort opened the meeting to public hearing.
Yvonne Houssels, President of the Harbor View Hills South
Homeowners Association addressed the Commission. Ms..Houssels
reported that in order to save time she would speak on behalf of the
homeowners' trees which are a liability due to the large falling
branches. The Association has been advised by their counsel that
I

they cannot ignore the situation. Sandcastle Drive is located along
Buck Gully which make the trees vulnerable and hazardous during
high• winds. In addition, the Eucalyptus are a self pruning tree

resulting in brittle branches that fall next to cars in the narrow
parkway. The current 3 year trim cycle is not sufficient to prevent
liability and the trees have outgrown their location causing sidewalk
damage. The Association and homeowners are requesting the trees
be removed and replaced at their expense when funds are available.
Their goal is to beautify the street by replanting 24" box Magnolia
Little Gem trees. The Association will pay for the removal and
replacement of the 7 trees in the common area.
In response to questions from the Commission, Director Niederhaus
advised that it will cost approximately $4,000 to remove the 19 trees
and $2,000 to replace them. There are no City funds available to
remove and replace these trees which are not causing hardscape
damage.
There being no further public testimony, Chair Vandervort closed the
public hearing.
Commissioner Beek stated she personally feels individual
homeowners should be able to determine what tree should be
•
planted in front of their home, however, individual situations are
changing the established policy. Staff has taken every precaution to
reduce liability and the Commission should be governed by policy or
amend the policy. Commissioner Schonlau concurred.
Chair Vandervort pointed out that the Commission reviews the whole
street scape and designated street trees have been determined for
the beauty of the street, not the individual homeowner.
Commissioner Demmer commented that a new precedent would be
started and the policy would need to be amended if trees are
removed and replaced based upon the homeowner's willingness to
pay for the costs. Commissioner Bonner concurred.

'
property damage.

Mrs. Travers read a letter from her neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Greg
Preston, 907 Sandcastle, requesting their 2 trees be removed since
they are unsightly and dangerous. Large branches have fallen and
on one occasion caused damage to the hood of their car. In another
incident a branch fell dangerously close to her daughter.
Commissioner Glasgow pointed out that staff's expert opinions have
determined the trees are not a liability. There is a further need for
fiscal responsibility and the need to be governed by the City's
policies and procedures approved by the City Council.
Director Niederhaus reported that the City is liable for damage on
private property caused by City parkway trees. There have been
only a few claims over the past few years and, these were associated
with wind storms. Staff is very sensitive to potential liability.

Yvonne Houssels addressed the Commission on 'behalf of the

requests removal of the trees and replacement with the Little Gem
Magnolia. The trees have falling branches and have caused
sidewalk damage resulting in a hazardous situation for which the
Association could be held liable. The Association would pay for
removal and replacement. Should the trees not be removed, she
requests a letter that the City assumes full responsibility for any
liability.

Item #11 - Peninsula Park Athletic Field
Vice Chair Schonlau reported that the proposed cooperative funding
for a 4' fence will not be possible. On March 2 staff videotaped the
YMCA coed soccer game and the five man flag football game. The
scheduled rugby game was canceled due to equipment problems.
•
After viewing the video, the Risk Manager felt that, although the ball
was kicked into the parking lot, the situation might be manageable by
using warning signs for vehicles entering the parking lot.
Commissioner Schonlau suggested the Commission review a
proposal for rugby games and a one day soccer tournament to be
conducted on a trial basis.

Item #12 -Proposed Amendment to Municipal Code
Chair Vandervort reported she and Commissioner Bonner met with
LaDonna Kienitz Dave McConnell, Paul Ramirez and representatives
from the community. The participants were in total agreement that a
public park should -be used for sport events and park activities. They
opposed attendees parking in parks. Their recommendations were
transmitted to the City Attorney's office which drafted the proposed
amendment.
Chair Vandervort opened'the meeting to public hearing.
Dona Colombero addressed the Commission and read a description
of the land use plan adopted by the City in October 1995. She
requested further clarification, of special events be provided in the
amended code.
Tom Hyans, President of Central Newport Community Association,
addressed the Commission. Mr. Hyans stated he felt the language
used in the amendment is too broad and that the ,special event
permit wording.allows too much latitude. The amendment as written
is not satisfactory and is not what was agreed upon at their meeting.

trails be dirt trails; that the natural vegetation be retained; that
grading be minimized; and that building remnants of the Castaways
restaurant remain.

4. The annual turfgrass renovation program continues throughout City parks
and facilities.
5. Staff has initiated the use of recycled wood mulch in Park planter areas
citywide. The mulch retains moisture in the ground so water use can be
reduced and also reduces the amount of unsightly weeds.
6. A donated bench was installed on the bluffs along Ocean Boulevard in
Corona del Mar.
7. The replacement of shrubs and ground covers was performed at various
sites throughout the City.
S. Staff performed various duties in final preparation for the Little League's
opening day programs.

9. Staff received the attached correspondence from Dr. Jan Vandersloot
regarding the native plant slope at Cliff Drive Park. The establishment of the
California native plant community has been very successful due to the work
of the volunteers and the contributions of individuals and various
Community organizations.
Upcoming Activities for April
1. The turfgrass renovation program will continue throughout the City.
2 The plaque refinishing project will continue throughout the Park system.
3. The planting of replacement shrubs and ground covers will continue
Citywide.
4. Staff will continue installing wood mulch in the planter areas throughout
the Park system.

Re: Cliff Drive Park
Dear Dave,
As you requested, I am sending you a list for the plants I have installed at Cliff Drive Park.
The enclosed plants are already planted or in the process of being planted. My idea is that
after I weed an area, the empty spaces will be taken up by weeds again unless I fill up the
area with good plants. Eventually, there will be enough cover with good,plants'so that
weeding will be unnecessary. All the enclosed plants are natives and are consistent with
the original Ann Christoff plan which designates different areas of the park for different
types of plant communities such as Coastal Sage Scrub, Coastal Bluff Scrub, the Island
area, and drought resistant transitionals. Efforts are being made to provide more colorful
• plants, although there is pretty uniform praise for the color at the top of the park and along
the walkways. Funding for the enclosed plants came from me and the Newport
Conservancy. SPON has funded a plant list through the Matilija Nursery which has not
arrived yet. Total funding from individuals and the community groups like the Newport
Conservancy and SPON is about $1000.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the public- private endeavor at Cliff Drive
Park, an effort which can hopefully be expanded to other parks such as the Castaways.
Sincerely,
Jan D. Vandersloot, M.D.

Item 2
0 DATE: March 22, 1996
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Steve Hunt, Senior Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Monthly Commission Report
Adult Sports
Adult Spring Basketball. Registration is in and we have 69 teams set to start play on March 25. For
Us fiscal year that gives us 262 teams in four seasons with a revenue of over $134,000.
The initial season of "5 on 5" adult flag football is off to a good start. There are eight teams
competing every Sunday afternoon at Peninsula Park. This up and coming sport is perfect for all
levels of play. Specific rules, such as no kicks and no blocking of any kind, create a very fun,
active and safe game.
Contract Class Registration
March is both the end of the Winter quarter and the start of the Spring quarter. Winter has been
slow, with 2,301 participants compared to 2,505 participants in Winter 1995. Winter quarter
revenues at this date for contract classes is $96,789 compared to 1995, $111,503.
The Spring quarter starts the week of March 25.
After the great computer crash of 1996 on March 14, the Community Services Department is
slowly recovering. The network lost 8 days worth of registrations and over 600 participants. With
March the start of the spring quarter, it took over 50 staff hours to re -input all those registrations.
The amount of lost data occurred because the registration system, which includes a 24 hour phone
in service, is only backed up every Thursday night. We are now working with MIS to implement
methods to avoid such hugh sums of data being left unprotected. The wonderful woes of the
computer age!!
The summer new class list (see attached) shows that there are several new classes presented by
current instructors plus brand new classes by new instructors. For this season classes -are scheduled
in the Balboa Community Center, in that portion of the building formerly occupied by the Nautical
Museum, on the pennisula. Staff are working with the power squadron that currently utilizes part of
the facility, as tenants, in presenting public speaking and boating classes.
Aquatics
The Community Services Department will be conducting Spring "Ice Breaker" Swim lessons
during the Spring Holiday, April 8 -12, at Newport Harbor High School. Classes offered are Level I
(Water Exploration), Level II (Primary Skills) and Level III (Stroke readiness). We anticipate all
classes filled with five swim instructors rotating classes throughout the afternoon.
• Staff met with the School District to-discuss the future pool temperatures and to see if a School
District budget shortfall would once again cause the pool temperatures to be reduced. We are happy
to report that the temperatures will remain at 80 degrees.
3
• A summer pool users meeting took place on Wednesday, March 21. The new fee schedule was
introduced to all groups that attended. This meeting proves to be very beneficial in our
implementation of summer programming.
Tennis
Las Arenas and Irvine Terrace courts will have new windscreens put up by the end of the month.
Due to the rainy weather, the tennis classes had to be extended for 2 weeks to complete all the
makeups. Revenue for the Spring quarter was $14,417.00 compared to $16,039.00 in 1995.
Corona del Mar Scenic 5k
The final art piece has been selected and the committee continues to work on collecting the
sponsorship money. The flyer is slated to be out by April 15th.
Special Olympics
The Recreation Division held the 6th annual Newport Beach Orange County Special Olympics
Basketball Tourney on March 16 at CdM High School. Once again it-was very successful, with 21
teams participating. Staff was assisted by 22 volunteers. The Balboa Rotary Club served as the
main sponsor; the Elks Club conducted their annual hoop shoot contest for the athletes. As a
participation award each athlete got a fanny pack. Council Member Jan Debay and Parks, Beaches
and Recreation Commissioner Vandervort were both on hand to present the opening ceremonies.
• Youth Sports
The Department's Youth Basketball Program came to a close recently with three teams competing
in the Orange County Municipal Athletic Association Tournament. Teams from Harbor View,
Lincoln and Newport Elementary represented Newport Beach against other City Champions, with
the team from Harbor View reaching the final game before bowing out of the competition.
Youth Sports coaches are now fully involved in the Track and Field season with practices after
school at all six sites. The City of Newport Beach Track and Field Championships will take place
on Saturday, April 13, at 10:00 A.M. at Davidson Stadium.
13th Annual Great Easter Egg Hunt
On Saturday, April 6, the department will host the 13th Annual Great Easter Egg Hunt at Eastbluff
Park, once again sponsored by the Eastbluff Village Merchants Association. Approximately 500
children and their parents participated in this festive event last year.
Ten thousand chocolate eggs and 150 tickets, redeemable for prizes at the Eastbluff Village Center
across the street, will be hidden in the grass for the energetic hunters. Live children's- entertainment
will also be featured during the hunts, as well as photo opportunities with our Easter Bunny.
The festivities move from the park to the Village Center at 11:00 A.M. where prize drawings will
take place, as well as more children's entertainment and photos with the Center's Easter Bunny
• (yes, of course it will be,the same bunny- we all know there is onlyone!!!).
Arbor Day
The 1996 Arbor Day Celebration will take place on Tuesday, April 30, at Mariners Park. The
program, which will include participation from students of Mariners Elementary School, begins at
10:30 A.M. Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Chair Jo Vandervort will open the
ceremonies, with a Council Member presenting an Arbor Day Proclamation to the school. The
students will perform skits or songs related to Arbor Day, assist in the planting of numerous new
trees imthe park, and take a tour of the existing trees within the park.
Newport Beach has been named as a Tree City USA for the sixth consecutive year, and a Forester
from the State of California will be on hand to present the City and the school with a Tree City
USA flag. This flag will be flown at the school for one month, and then will be relocated to its
permanent home on the grounds of the Park and Street Tree Division administrative offices.
Youth Council
The Youth Council will be hosting Beach Clean-up Day on Saturday, April 20. Volunteers will
collect trash and debris from the Balboa Pier to the Wedge and will then be treated to a free lunch
from a local restaurant. The students will then partake in a friendly volleyball, tournament,on the
beach volleyball courts north of Palm Street. This final activity is designed to develop camaraderie
between students of Newport Beach's rival high schools.
Olympic Torch to pass through our front yard !!!
Department staff are involved in the coordination of the Olympic Torch Relay Across America in
conjunction with the Olympic Festival in Atlanta this year. 5,500 "Community Heroes" and 800
Olympians will participate in this relay that crisscrosses America for 85 days.
• The Torch, which was lit in a private ceremony in Olympia, Greece on March 30, will arrive in Los
Angeles on,Saturday, April 27. The Torch will enter Newport Beach at approximately 6:20 A.M.
on Sunday, April 28, and will travel south on Coast Highway, and will exit the city at
approximately 7:30 A.M. The entourage accompanying the Torch will consist of 12 vehicles, as
well as nine motorcycles from the Georgia State Patrol, the California Highway Patrol and the
Newport Beach Police Department.
Peninsula Park
In the Department's efforts to return sporting activities to the park, a permit has been issued to the
Y.M.C.A. Adult Soccer Program for five league soccer games on Saturday, April 20. Game times

SUBJECT: Senior Services Division - Monthly Commission Report
OASIS held their Volunteer Recognition this month at which, two hundred attended. These
dedicated volunteers are honored each year for performing services which enhance our
capabilities.
Volunteers are used in the front office, membership desk, gift shop, travel office, special
events and teaching classes. The amount of hours that volunteers work each year equal
thirteen full time paid staff. OASIS would not be able to do what it does without their
assistance.
Staff attended the American Society on Aging conference in Anaheim. They worked' hard
• on planning the local arrangements and therefore attended free of charge. This was the end
of a year long project.
Plans are being made for the Health Fair to be held next month. On April 20th, we expect
to have seven hundred community members register to attend the many health screening
and exhibits.

Agenda Item No. '-
April 2, 1996
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From : General Services Director
Subject: Newport Harbor Lawn Bowling Club
Recommendation
To approve the funding of $8000 this fiscal year for the rehabilitation of one lawn
bowling green and the funding of $8000 next fiscal year of one lawn bowling green at
the Newport Harbor Lawn Bowling Club located in San Joaquin Hills Park.
Discussion
Staff received the attached correspondence from Mr. John Amies, President of the
Newport Harbor Lawn Bowling Club, requesting funding assistance from the City for
the rehabilitation of the two bowling greens at San Joaquin Hills Park.
• The Club has been an integral part of providing recreation to the Community since
1939. The organization moved to the present facility in 1972 and has a reputation
among other clubs of being a premier facility in Southern California. The Club has
presented itself over the last 24 years at the present facility to be very self
sustaining in the maintenance of both the clubhouse and bowling greens. The
members have spent several thousand dollars in providing specialized equipment to
maintain the greens and untold hours in staffing a heavily used recreation facility.
Additionally, the City has not provided any ongoing maintenance assistance over the
last 24 years at the Lawn Bowling Center in San Joaquin Park.
Staff will explore funding sources for the expenditure for this fiscal year and has
submitted the attached FY 96 -97 Capital Improvement Project in the amount of
$8,000 for next fiscal year. The total City contribution would be $16,000 and this
represents a 60% funding match.

NEWPORT HARBOR LAWN BOWLING CLUB
1550 Crown Drive North
Corona Del Mar, California 92625
Phone (714) 640 -1022
Mr. David E. Niederhaus
General Services Director
City of Newport Beach
3300 Newport Boulevard
Newport Beach, California
Dear Sir:
Organized in 1939, the Newport Harbor Lawn Bowling Club has been a
part of Newport Beach's Recreation Department for more than 57
years. With assistance from the City of Newport Beach and other
volunteers, the greens were originally built on the Peninsula next
to the American Legion Clubhouse. As the club membership grew it
became obvious that larger facilities were needed and so in 1972,
again with the cooperation of the City, the Irvine Company and
volunteers from the club two greens were built in San Joaquin Hills
Park in the Corona Del Mar area.
• These greens have served the club well. However, after almost 23
years of constant use, a major renovation has become necessary.
Social bowling five or more times a week by club members, special
tournaments and visitations by clubs from other countries keep the
facilities busy throughout the year. The National Championships
which our club hosts periodically is another event that fills the
greens.
our club is able to take care of its portion of the day -to -day
maintenance cost, however, the cost of major renovation of the
greens could not be done without some outside assistance. To this
end we are asking the City to help us defray the cost of renovation.
However, before I discuss the cost estimates, I would like to give
you some additional information.
A 25 -year agreement between the club and the City was signed in
1973. It conveys title to all buildings, facilities and
improvements to the City and basically says that the City is
responsible for the repair and maintenance of the exterior of the
clubhouse facility and the club is responsible for the interior
repair and maintenance. I am very proud of the overall condition of
our clubhouse and facilities. I believe that our club has upheld
its responsibility in an outstanding manner as you saw during your
recent visit to our club. I might add that the improvements made by
the City to the exterior such as installing new backboards, improved
drains and various jobs of cement work contribute immensely to the
• overall condition of the club and are much appreciated by our
members as well as those who pass by.
In addition to the above, the original agreement required the City
to pay $75 per month as compensation for maintaining the bowling

greens. Subsequent agreements have increased this amount to $500.
I want to point out that the cost to club members is more than three
times this amount or more than $1500 per month.
The Newport Beach Lawn Bowling Club is a do- it- yourself club.
Hundreds of volunteer work hours are contributed each year by the
members. Projects, such as interior cleaning, kitchen activities,
keeping the grounds clean, planting and maintaining the flowers,
hedge trimming and helping to maintain the greens, are some of the
examples of work done by volunteers. However, since about 95% of
our members are Senior Citizens, it would be difficult to recruit
volunteers to perform the manual labor required to renovate our
greens.
The co- chairmen of the greens committee, a past president and I have
met with many knowledgeable people in the area of sports turf
management including Mr. Michael Henry, Area Environmental
Horticulture Advisor who is associated with the University of
California at Riverside. All of these people believe that the
renovation should be started by removing two inches of thatch from
the top of the green. We have assured ourselves that the remaining
base is good (proper size sand, etc.) by buying two analyses
performed by a reputable laboratory and interpreted by Mr. Henry.
All 14,000 square feet of green will be leveled to within 1/8 of an
inch. Plinth boards will be constructed around the perimeter of the
green (again within 1/8" tolerance). Because the surface of the
green will be lowered, the sprinkler heads will need repositioning.
Finally, stolons will be planted. With proper fertilization and
watering it is anticipated that the green will be available for play
in about five months if the work is started early in the growing
season.
It should be noted that we originally wanted to sod the surface
instead of stolonizing. Although this is desirable, it adds
considerable cost and for this reason we have decided against using
it.
To date, we have two quotations from well - qualified suppliers, both
of whom are well -known to the City's Park and Tree Maintenance
Superintendent. The quotes to renovate one green are as follows:
STOLONS SOD
Contractor A $320000 $39,000
Contractor B $13,275 $20,381
We are asking that the City share the total cost with us. We
suggest that it is reasonable that the City assume 60% of the cost
with the Newport Harbor Lawn Bowling Club to pay the remainder.
Due to the fact that the grass is now coming into its growing
season, it is imperative that this work be started very soon. Our
schedule is to renovate one green this year and the other in 1997.

However, if the growing season is very good, we would like to do
both greens this year.
Please call me if additional information is required or if you or

• Agenda Item No. 4
April 2' 1996
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Tree Removal • at 1314 East Balboa Boulevard
Recommendation
To approve the removal of one Ficus nitida (Indian Laurel Fig) tree at 1314 East
Balboa Boulevard.
Discussion
Staff received a request from Ms. Lilian Lumkin, the property owner at 1314 East
• Balboa Boulevard, requesting that one Ficus tree be removed due to significant
private and public property damage.
The Urban Forester completed the attached Tree Inspection Report and
identified the tree as City tree per the current computer inventory (copy
attached). The Park and Tree Maintenance Superintendent concurred with the
report that recommends that the tree should be removed due to major
hardscape damages. The tree cannot be retained due to the significant amount of
root mass that must be removed in the hardscape replacement process and the
potential of the tree falling over when this work is completed.
Additionally, this location was identified by the General Services ,Department's
Concrete Crew Supervisor as a location that presents a liability to the City
relative to hardscape damage and has been included in the current hardscape
replacement contract.
The tree was scheduled for removal when staff was contacted by Mr. Thomas
Ahern, the adjacent property owner at 1310 East Balboa Boulevard, who feels the
tree is in front of his residence and does not want it removed. Staff further
investigated and found that portions of the City parkway tree were on both
sides of the property line.
•
y
• Ms. Lumpkin, Mr. Ahern and the President of the Peninsula Point Homeowners
Association have received a copy of this report and a notice of the April 2
Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

the Commission.

park and street benches. After discussion, Commissioner
Demmer voted in support of the proposal and Commissioners
Scchonlau, Beek, Bonner, Compton and Glasgow, were opposed.

Item 7
• G -1
RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF PARK AND PARKWAY TREES
It shall be the responsibility of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission to
develop and maintain a rather restricted list of trees in the community
'(Attachment 1) which should be retained to the exclusion of all normal
problems. This list will contain landmark trees, special trees of extreme beauty,
stately, trees which contribute to an entire neighborhood, dedicated trees, etc.
These trees will be identified, mapped and recorded. Subsequent to this they
will be given special treatment to retain them, as deemed appropriate by the
General Services Director. If said special treatment is not determined to be
adequate to retain the identified tree, a full report shall be made to the
Commission before any other action is taken.
Whenever it is necessary to prune tree roots in parkways or other public areas in
order to correct or prevent damage being caused by the subject tree, every
reasonable effort shall be made to save the tree. It will still be necessary to meet
the City's standards relative to grades and alignments, with the exception of
those special trees discussed in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement. Trees will
not be removed solely due to view obstructions.
• If it is necessary for a tree other than that included in Paragraph 1 to be given
special treatment, each tree shall be considered individually on its own merits to
determine whether the tree should be retained or replaced. All parkway trees
included in this category must be subjected to and meet the following criteria:
1. Have a tree inspection report prepared by the City Urban Forester
(Attachment 2).
2. Have sufficient life expectancy to merit special consideration;
3. Have adjacent property owners be desirous of retaining the tree
4. Be of a desirable species on the official street tree list by the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission;
5. Not have had a consistent history of damaging items such as
sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls, fences,
foundations, etc., as indicated per City records, or by competent
authority such as .a structural engineer, general contractor, or
qualified City official.

• G -1
6. Not interfere with acceptable drainage if alternate methods of curb
repair are utilized.
Application of the criteria on parkway trees will be conducted by the General
Services Department in coordination with the Parks, Beaches and. Recreation
Commission. In applying the criteria, other departments of the City will be
consulted as necessary. If there is any conflict between the application of the
criteria and established standards of the City which cannot be resolved at staff
and Commission level, final resolution will be determined, by the City Council.
Objectives of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission will be:
1. To inform the public and further the philosophy of the value of
trees in a community.
2. To pursue procedures whereby larger replacement trees can be
used when trees are removed.
3. To assure that no community has a mass removal effect as projects
• occur.
4. Annually review landmark tree locations for inclusion in Council
Policy G -1.
5. Whenever possible, ensure that community associations are
notified of pending tree removals.
When a tree is removed from the parkway for the sole benefit of the adjacent
property owner, the property owner will be responsible for the cost of removal.
Removal must still be done in accordance with City procedures.

Re: REVIEW OF CITY PARKWAY TREE POLICIES
Dear Commission Members:
This letter is written to provide specific comments for your consideration in reviewing City
parkway tree policies.
REMOVAL OF PARKWAY TREES FOR DAMAGE
Mr Neiderhaus in his letter of August 18. 1995 (enclosed) states: "...City trees will be removed
only due to existing private and /or public property damage... ". This policy of waiting for
• parkway trees to cause damage, especially mature ficus trees, can be very expensive.
Our Association has recently witnessed the ,removal from our parkways of over forty trees
(primarily ficus) that were causing significant damage to both public and private property. This
was followed by the planting of over thirty new parkway - friendly trees, the pruning of the
remaining trees lining our streets, and the extensive replacement of damaged public hardscape
including sidewalks, curbs, gutters and driveways.
Although we very much appreciate these recent efforts by the City, much of the expense could
have been avoided if the City would have been able to remove troublesome trees before instead
of after actual damages occurred. Our parkway tree reforestation program was approved by the
Commission in June of 1992 and again in January of 1995. The program should be completed
as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of further damage and associated expense. This
will involve removing eighty ficus trees and planting about sixty new designated trees.
REMOVAL OF PARKWAY TREES FOR VIEW OBSTRUCTION
The last sentence of the second paragraph of the City's G -1 Policy, Retention or Removal of Park
and Parkway Trees, states: "Trees will not be removed solely due to view obstructions." In view
of current funding constraints, this is probably a reasonable policy for the City. Available funds
are better spent correcting or preventing more serious tree problems.
Although this policy statement may be reasonable for the City at the present time, it is not
reasonable for our Association which has view, preservation as its primarymission. Consequently,
• we adamantly oppose the policy in its present form since it does not permit an Association or a
homeowner to pay for parkway tree removal due to view obstructions. The removal, of course,
would also require planting an acceptable replacement tree in the parkway, obtaining adjacent
homeowner approval if possible, and coordinating the removal with the City's Urban Forester.
• DESIGNATED PARKWAY TREES
The primary reason for having a specific tree designated for each street is to ensure the use of
appropriate trees for the size of the parkway. Complete uniformity by street is not a goal of our
Association and we anticipate that there will always be more than one tree species, on each
street. Use of a new tree other than the one designated should be permitted, but by exception
only and require the approval of both the Association and the City. If an exception is made, it is
preferred that the substitute be a tree designated for another street in the community.
Thanks again to the Commission and to the General Services.staff for supporting our efforts to
remove the very troublesome ficus trees from the parkways of the Harbor View Hills Community
Association.
Sincerely,
William G Ginter loard F Wharton

Dear Mr. Ginter,
The Park, Beaches and Recreation Commission at the August 1, 1995 meeting
approved the request for the street tree redesignation in your association. I am
requesting that as part of the reforestation phasing that will be occurring, that
you survey and document those property owners who reside adjacent to any
City parkway street tree to be removed, per the attached list.
• Please provide this information to me at your earliest convenience so that we
may finalize the reforestation program. Additionally, I must remind you that
City trees will be removed only due to existing private and /or public property
damage and not due solely to view obstructions nor potential wind damage.
Please contact me at (714) 644 -3055 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
David E. Niederhaus, Director

RE: CAMEO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Dear Chairperson Vandervort and Commission Members:
• As a resident of Campo Shores, I take strong exception to the city
policy that I first became aware of at a March 19, 1996 meeting of
PB & R Commission that "parkway trees will be removed solely due to
view obstruction." I also learned from the discussion at the
meeting that city trimming policy does not allow "topping" and
eventually parkway trees will grow to heights where views will be
impaired.
The problem with the current policy is that our governing documents
provide that "no trees... shall... unduly impede or detract from the
view of any lot." and eventually city parkway trees will be in
violation of our CC &RS and community landscaping standards. The
city_ policy is- just not being a- good neighbor and,_in_my- opinion,- - - - - --
constitutes a nuisance and detracts from the value of the lot whose
view is impaired by the parkway trees.
If the city wants to adopt the policy for the city that is fine,
but the policy must allow each homeowners organization and each
owner to enforce the rules, regulations and landscaping standards
of their association. I trust that the city will adopt an
exception to the policy that will allow each association to carry
out its landscaping policies where the association policies
conflict with the city policy.

To: The City of Newport Beach
To Whom it may concern:
We are very much opposed to the removal of the tree across the street
from us at 1310 East Balboa Blvd. It is similar to the others lining the
boulevard, is very attractive, and adds to the character of the area. Since
the sidewalks are being repaired to accommodate these lovely old tree's we
see no reason to have this one removed.
Thank you for listening.
