fulfilling the obligation of the Bench Policy.

Ayes: Demmer, Glasgow, Phillips, and Schonlau

Item #8 - City Council Policy G -1
Director Niederhaus gave an overview of proposed G-1 Policy. Chair Schonlau opened the
meeting to public hearing. Eighteen people requested to speak.
• Debra Allen, 1021 Shite Sails Way, addressed the Commission. She felt there were
reforestation and tree trimming problems, but feels that the proposed G -1 Policy will meet
initial concerns.
•
a
Yvonne Houssels,1307 Outrigger Dr., President of Harbor View Hills South Association,
addressed the Commission and recommends the policy be approved and states the policy
will preserve the City trees.
Valerie Hart, 1733 Candlestick Lane, addressed the Commission. She-feels that each
property owner should be treated individually. She has 2 trees impacting her driveway
causing cracked sidewalk and water drainage. Ms. Hart stated that the trees in Baycrest
should be removed from the Preservation of Neighborhood Trees list.
Gwen Johnson, 2707 Island Drive, addressed the Commission. She noted problems with
tree roots in sewer pipes. Parkway trees should be reforested and trimmed as necessary.
Tess Leer, 4709 Dorchester, addressed the Commission. The City is no longer trimming
their City trees on a frequent basis and views are impacted. She stated that the requirement
to have 60% of property owners concur with reforestation may not be reasonable relative to
the reforestation program.

Page 4
• Dr. Donald Turner, 3839 Ocean Birch Drive, President, Spyglass Association, addressed the
Commission. Dr. Turner wanted City help in getting private homeowners to trim their
large trees due to obstruction of views. The view matter should be addressed with other
associations as well.
Elaine Linhoff,1760 E. Ocean Blvd., addressed the Commission. Would like to have voting
on G -1 Policy postponed until there is a better tree policy as some of the policy is vague to
her. There should be more than a 10 day, notice for tree removal in the G -1 policy. She
stated that supplementary tree trimming represents a good alternative to reforestation.
Jan Vandersloot, MD, 2221 E. 16th Street, addressed the Commission. He agrees that
allowing homeowners to trim trees is good idea. What goals does Newport Beach have for
tree trimming and removal? City has none in his opinion. He prefers trimming trees over
tree removal with no topping of trees.
Jeanne H. Wanlass,1700 Candlestick Lane, addressed the Commission. Her parkway trees
were promised to be trimmed every other year, but that hasn't happened. Ms. Wanlass
submitted a petition to the Commission to preserve the Eucalyptus trees in her
neighborhood and retain the trees on the list of Special Trees..
• Virginia Herberts, 2290 Channel Rd., addressed the Commission. Approves of the G1
Policy. There should be more required tree trimming. One change would be to give a 30
day notice instead of 10 days. She feels 60% of residents in an area should approve removal
of trees before approval is given.
Director Niederhaus replied there was no staff objection to 30 days instead of 10 days notice
for tree removal.
Ed Benson, 1028 Westwind Way, President of Dover Shores Community Association,
addressed the Commission. He would like more time to review the G -1 Policy. He is
concerned over trees blocking their view and has not been able to get their viewpoint across
to the City. Mr. Benson submitted a letter to the Commission on behalf of their Association.
Val Skoro,1601 Bayadere Terrace, President, Irvine Terrace Homeowners Association,
addressed the Commission. He would like 60% approval of homeowners in the G -1 Policy
and clarification of supplemental tree trimming program relative to specific cost.
Jill Watkins, 2507 Lighthouse Lane, member of the Broadmoor Association Landscape
Committee, addressed the Commission. She stated the problem is with City street trees, and
associated berry droppings. There is a year round problem with berry droppings causing a
• mess and roots going into plumbing and sidewalk repair. The'Broadmoor Homeowners
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
June 3,1997
• Association spends $60,000 a year on landscaping and should be allowed to remove City
trees that drop fruit.
Phil Arst, 2601 Lighthouse Lane, President, Broad'moor Community Association and Chair
of the Community Association Alliance, addressed the Commission. There is a
contradiction with the G -1 Policy and their Association's CC &R's, but the general concept of
policy is good.
Tom Williams, 1708 Starlight Circle, addressed the Commission. He would like to adopt�or
add that if one tree is taken out that another one should replace it. Also that Baycrest
Eucalyptus trees should be on Preservation of Trees list.
Iryne Black, 1646 Irvine Avenue, addressed the Commission and states that the Commission
should approve the proposed G -1 Policy.
Pete Drummond, 1706 Antigua Way, addressed the Commission. He stated the City should
continue to trim trees so they can keep their vew to be in keeping with their Associations
CC&Ws. Mr. Drummond also submitted a letter for the Commission's consideration.
George Parker, 3407 Seabreeze Lane, addressed the Commission. He stated that City trees
• should be trimmed more often than every 2 years as they grow back and continue to block
their view or have them removed and replaced with a type of tree that can be maintained
and still keep their view.
There being no further public testimony, Chair Schonlau closed the meeting to public
hearing.
During discussion, Director Niederhaus said further changes could be considered before
submission to the City Council. He also explained the staff cannot remove Special Trees
without Commission approval. The�property owners would still have the option to request
tree removal or the right of appeal to keep the tree.
Commissioner Demmer explained that the City should make sure the community's
outreach is thorough. She was told by the City Attorney that CC &R's cannot and should not
be enforced by the City. Also she noted that trees are not a priority in the City budget.
Commissioner Glasgow moved to accept G -1 Policy with the following changes: to change
from 10 day notice to 30 days notification for removal of trees and to delete the phrase
"unless supplemental trimming is completed in advance of reforestation and the trees
hinder views ". Additionally, that the Baycrest trees in the Neighborhood Trees of the
• Preservation of Special Trees list be removed.

Item #9 - Tree Removal Appeal at 618 Avocado Avenue
Chair Schonlau opened the meeting to public hearing.
Ms. Judith O: Olson, 45 Canyon Island Drive, addressed the Commission. Ms. Olson,
owner of 618 Avocado Avenue, states that damage occurs from the City Eucalyptus tree
which drips black sap and is slippery, especially when it rains. She is afraid of ,potential
personal injury due to the dark slippery sap. Additionally, roots are breaking the curb and
sidewalk and sap has damaged the surface stucco of the house and wall around the patio.
She stated that the sap damages cars parked under the tree.
Director Niederhaus suggested trimming the tree back from the wall and residence to
decrease the sap damage and liability.
Commissioner Glasgow is concerned regarding the damage and a possible City liability.

days to see if it corrects the situation and if not the tree will be removed by staff.

and fall liability. She provided photographs and samples of debris to the Commission.

value of the two trees is $14,000 and a valuable asset to the City. He stated that trees should

DATE: June 2, 1997
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: Steve Hunt, Senior Recreation Manager
SUBJECT: Recreation Division - Monthly Commission Report
New Recreation Manager - The new Recreation Manager, Marilyn Fisher, will attend the July
meeting to be introduced to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. Marilyn started June
16 and has acclimated herself very quickly. She will have the general responsibilities of managing
the aquatics program, youth programs, youth special events and special event permits. Staff is
happy to have her aboard.
CdM 5K Results- On June 7, the 16th Annual Corona del Mar Scenic Sk Race and 2 Mile Fun
Walk was held. The event was a major success with a total of 2,700 participants. There were
2,001 runners, 612 walkers and 84 kids. The 1K KidsTun Run was an outstanding addition to
• the event. The famous "restaurant row' was as big as ever with 15 restaurants giving away free
food to each participant. A combination of sponsor donations and participant registrations
grossed in excess of $70,000 in revenue. It is anticipated when all the invoices are in that the net
profit will be approximately $37,500-to be divided between the two organizations.
Congratulations to Recreation Manager Sue Stein, the Department's Race Co- Chair! The
Department is honoring the major race sponsors and' Bob iHogue and Jim Wood, Co- Chairmen, at
the City Council meeting, June 23.
4th of July - The 24th Annual Mariners 4th of July Parade and Picnic will be held Friday,
July 4. The Grand Marshals this year will be Scott and Liddy Paulsen and Debbie Clark. It is
estimated that 1500 participants will be on hand to enjoy the festivities which include a biking and
walking parade down Mariners Drive followed by a fun and games show with Barnaby the Clown.
In addition, there will again be a Department sponsored amateur volleyball tournament held that
morning on the south side of the athletic field. It should be another great event!
Playground Equipment - There has recently been some extra attention on the condition and safety
of playground equipment on City parks. This responsibility falls under the jurisdiction of: 1) the
Recreation Division of Community Services in the areas of evaluating tot lot conditions, staff safety
inspections, planning for replacement, ordering and installing equipment in compliance with State
and Federal Mandates (including ADA requirements), and liaison between Park Maintenance,
residents and the respective playground equipment representatives. 2) the Parks Division of
• General Services in the areas of informal weekly and formal monthly safety inspections, immediate
response to damaged or faulty equipment, minor equipment repairs and replacements, installation
1`1
• meetings and park construction coordination. Staff from both divisions are responsive to resident
calls reporting a necessary repair or concern.
In addition, Recreation Division staff have made it a priority to gain local resident involvement
when designing and installing new equipment. In the last year alone this method has been very
productive and has created goodwill in replacement projects at Newport Island Park, Spyglass Hill
Reservoir Park and Buffalo Hills Park. An updated playground inventory is attached and shows
that there are twenty-eight designated tot lots, including Bob Henry Park, on twenty-four parks. An
ongoing replacement project to update safety standards and meet ADA requirements is its third of
an approximate eight year process. There are currently eleven tot lots that meet ADA compliance
and staff projects that three more sites will be renovated in 1997 -98. The preliminary allotment of
CIP funds slated for 1997 -98 is $70,000.
Staff from the two responsible Divisions are keeping up to date, are knowledgeable of current
requirements, and are working from a very comprehensive long and short term plan for both
replacement and repair of the City parks playground equipment.
Lincoln Lease - The Newport-Mesa Unified School District has on the June 24 agenda the approval
of the Lease with the City for the long term use of the Lincoln Athletic Center, including the
gymnasium. It is recommended for approval. The lease payment for FY 1997/98 is $16,200.
Adult Basketball - The summer basketball season began June 16 with 68 teams. Games will be
• played at West Newport, Ensign Middle School and, for the first time on a regular basis, the Boys
and Girls Club at Eastbluff Park. Total revenue for this season is $35,000.

Tennis and Sailing Camps and Children's Golf Camp. Skyhawks sports camps featuring
baseball, basketball, soccer, and rollerhockey are also close to capacity.

Hawaiian Culture Concert
The Napili Kai Foundation presented a free concert on Sunday, June 22, at OASIS. Over 300 people
were in attendance. The Foundation, located in Maui, has worked for more than 25 years to preserve
Hawaiian culture. The Foundation maintains a strict code of behavior for the participants, including
prohibiting smoking, drinking and drugs, and has.a waiting list of children eager to join. The group also
performed at Disneyland. The OASIS Ukulele Strummers joined them in an exchange of generations.
This event was the hit of the month and enjoyed by all who attended.
Great Decisions Discussion Group
Great Decisions, a program of the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), the largest nonpartisan world
affairs education program in the nation, presents monthly discussions at OASIS on major world policy
issues. The purpose of FPA is to make citizens aware of the changes in the world and in our foreign
policies. The topic of discussion for June was "Environmental Threats to Stability: The Role of
Population Growth ". The program is very well attended.
Osteoporosis Lecture
•A special lecture was scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, on the prevention, detection and treatment
strategies for osteoporosis. The lecture was followed by two full days of bone density screening on site.
Both services were provided by Invictus, Inc., which utilizes a mobile testing lab with non - evasive
scanning devices. Each participant received a printed report following the test.
Computer Networking Groug
The one year old computer networking group has generated serious interest from approximately 100
members. This exciting group meets the second Wednesday of each month from 1:30 -4:30 p.m. This
month's presentation was on Eudora software. A new feature was a separate presentation focusing on
researching your family history with the help of a computer. This group focused on the use of scanners
and photographs in family reports, finding lost family members, publishing your history, and
researching abroad. Local sources such as Family History Centers and the Federal Archives were
explored by presenter Vivian Boulos.
Legal Service
OASIS utilizes the talents of local attorneys who volunteer their time to provide free half hour
consultations to seniors. This program provides seniors the opportunity to ask basic questions and get
the direction they need for next steps. Robin Bentler, who specializes in Estate Planning, Federal
Taxation, and Civil Litigation, volunteered this month.
OASIS Art Gallery
The Art Gallery, located in the OASIS lobby, currently is showing the work of the Advanced Chinese
Brush Paining Class. All the pieces are professionally framed and very impressive. This show will
remain on display until the end of July, when the Watercolor Class will then be hung.

To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Bench Donation
Recommendation
To accept one concrete bench donation from Ms. Lois Jacobs that will be
installed at the lower observation area of Inspiration Point. Additionally, that
the verbiage and size of the donor plaque conforms to City Council Policy.
Discussion
Staff received an inquiry from Ms. Lois Jacobs regarding a proposed bench
donation for Inspiration Point. Informationally, last month the Commission
approved a bench donation from Ms. Jacobs for the upper observation area at
this site.
• Subsequently, the donor submitted the attached letter requesting the approval
of one bench donation. The existing wooden benches at the site are in poor
condition due to the extreme seacoast exposure and are in need of replacement.
This will be the third bench donation for the lower observation area.

Agenda Item No. 5
• July 1, 1997
TO: Parks, Beaches, & Recreation Commission
FROM: General Services Director
SUBJECT: Change of Designated Street Tree
Recommendation:
Approve a change of designated street tree from the Jacaranda (Jacaranda
mimosifolia) to Red -Cap Gum (Eucalyptus erythrocorys) for the east side of
Dover Drive between Westcliff Drive and 16th Street.
Background
Council Policy G-6 provides for a listing of a designated street tree for each
street in the City. Staff maintains the list and updates it annually.
Currently, the Jacaranda tree is the designated street tree for Dover Drive
• between Pacific Coast Highway and Mariners Drive, although there are a
variety of trees along Dover including Ficus, Canary Island Pines, and
Windmill Palms.
The Public Works Department has initiated a request to change the
designated street tree due to the litter caused by Jacaranda trees that present
liability and maintenance problems in this heavily used area.
Discussion
A variety of street trees are available from the approved list of street .trees for
locations with a 4 -foot parkway such as the new area that is being
constructed.
Staff has researched this list and favors an evergreen or conifer species that
would complement adjacent trees and not create undue liability.
The median adjacent to the area is landscaped with Canary Island Pine trees.
However, that species of tree is not recommended for parkways less than eight
feet in width. Ficus trees are planted in the parkway on the opposite side of
Dover Drive. Windmill Palms are also located in the parkway.
Staff recommends the use of the Red -Cap Gum (Eucalyptus erythrocorys) as
• the designated street tree for the area west of Dover Drive and between
J- _
•
CJ
Westcliff and 16th Street. The selection is based on characteristics of the Red-
Cap Gum (see attachment), particularly the fact that the proposed tree
tolerates a higher level of salinity. Boxed (24" or 36 ") specimens would be
installed to speed the enhancement of the area.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

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 contiguous property owners be desirous of retaining the tree if
special treatment of other than the sidewalk repair is necessary to retain
it.
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 public or privately owned
property such as sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, waIIs,
fences, foundations, etc., as indicated per City records, or by competent
authority such as a structural engineer, general contractor, or qualified
• City official.

•
E
G -1
6. Not interfere with acceptable drainage if alternate methods of curb repair
are utilized.
Application of the criteria on parkway frees 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 $Zity 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.

• David E Niederhaus,
We would like to appeal the decision to retain the eucalyptus trees on
the property at 2228 Holiday Road. For reasons listed below. RECEIVED
1- Roots interfere with sewer and water pipes on a regular basis. JUN 0 3 1997
2- Incidents with damage to gardeners equipment (i.e. acorns are hard on
Mowers edgers etc.) GS PARKS/TREES
3- Crows
a. Crow droppings area daily unsanitary mess, unable residents and
Guest to park in front of house
b. Chirping in the early a.m. hours wakens all of us.
c. My water bill is high because of constantly cleaning the driveway.
4- Potential property damage during high winds (heavy branches have
Fallen in the past.
5- daily and constant mess from leaves and pollen in both front and back
yard (oils from trees damage our personal, properties)
Other considerations:
The seldom maintenance done to the trees by the city are simply not
. Enough to solve these problems. We have lived in our home almost
Five years and in that time have improved the property considerably.
We take great pride in our home and in our neighborhood. And
to maintain these trees are a constant battle for us.
We would also like to put in sidewalks in front of our house
And a fence but these trees are in the way.

Please strongly review our plea for removal.
Thank you for your time,

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 F-ity 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
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.
