This is the sixth donated bench at Inspiration Point and the second donation from Ms. Jacobs. The former teak benches were heavily damaged and in an unsafe condition. . Director Kiemtz explained that Inspiration Point is a joint art project with the City Arts Commission and they are concerned that they were not part of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission July 1, 1997 Page 4 bench selection process.

Item #5 - Change of Designated Street Tree Dr. Jan Vandersloot, 222116w Street, addressed the Commission in support of retaining the Jacaranda as the designated street tree on the east side of Dover Drive between Westcliff and 16th Street. In addition to providing brilliant blue blossoms in the - spring, the tree adds to the beauty of the tree scape and does not present a liability. Dr. Vandersloot recommended that the homeowners association responsible for the area be contacted and citizen input received prior to making a decision. Don Webb, Public Works Director, addressed the Commission, Mr. Webb explained the reasons why the Public Works Department initiated the change of designated street tree at this location. The major reason is that the broad canopy provided by the Jacaranda could cause liability problems for a major street. Mr. Webb passed out comments by the landscape architect and presented pictures of the site. He explained that the proposed Red -Cap Gum, an upright tree more appropriate for a 4 foot parkway, will complement the neighborhood and not create a liability. Following questions by the Commission, Commissioner.Skoro recommended the Commission postpone their decision until' alternative trees can be reviewed. Commissioner Glasgow moved to accept staff's recommendation that the designated street tree for the east side of Dover Drive between Westcliff and 16th Street be changed from Jacaranda to Red -Cap Gum. Commissioner Dunn made a substitute motion to retain the Jacaranda as the designated street tree.

A. DemoQranhics As of the 1990 Census, the City of Newport Beach had a total population of 66,643. Of the 34,861 housing units in Newport Beach, 30,860 were occupied and of those, 56 percent were owner occupied. The City had an average household size of 2.16 persons and a median household income of $60,374. From the census, it was determined that the median age of Newport Beach residents was a�pr L mately 39 years, with the following age distribution: The following table shows population by service area: 0 0 0 a�- RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT TECHNICAL APPENDIX S. School Enrollment Enrollment figures and capacities for public schools located within the City are shown in the following table: A -2 0 RECREATIONAND OPENSPACE ELEMENT TECHNICAL APPENDIX CIOSA AGREEMENT The following table shows the properties to be dedicated by the Irvine Company for recreation and open space uses under the Circulation Improvement and Open Space agreement (CIOSA) between the City and the Irvine Company: DEDICATION TIMING: (1) Open Space to be dedicated upon Effective Date of Agreement. (2) Open Space to be dedicated upon issuance of first building permit. (3), Open Space shall be offered for dedication upon issuance of last building permit of all projects contained in CIOSA agreement. The Irvine Company may elect to wAlve this condition. (4) Open Space area to'be dedicated upon issuance of first building permits for both Upper Castaways and Newporter North. EXISTING BEACHAND HARBOR FACILITIES The City contains approximately � of sandy ocean beach, plus small beaches along the bay. The width of the ocean beaches vary from area to area along the coast. The beaches at Little Corona and the Marine Life Refuge are very narrow and rocky. The Balboa Peninsula has small beaches on the bay side, such as 10ffi and 15'' Streets, and a broad ocean beach, averaging over 400 feet in width. In west Newport, by contrast, the beach is seldom more than 200 feet wide. Public parking jots are located at Corona del Mar State Beach, Balboa Pier, Newport Pier, and City Hall. Restroom facilities are concentrated in relatively few areas adjacent to piers and some street ends. There are long stretches of beaches that do not have conveniently located public restrooms. The availability of public restrooms is also a problem for people on boats not equipped with restroom facilities and for visitors to Upper Newport Bay. �3 A -3 j;. �P.ROPERTY.`—'-7-1 -'OPEN''SPACE:ACRES;I;DEDICATIONfl T.0", DE TIMING' '' 1 :San Diego Creek South i 2.4 3 . .......... 2 4 .......................................... . .................. 3 ............................ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .................... _ :San Diego Creek North 0 .............................

EXISTING BEACHAND HARBOR FACILITIES The City contains approximately � of sandy ocean beach, plus small beaches along the bay. The width of the ocean beaches vary from area to area along the coast. The beaches at Little Corona and the Marine Life Refuge are very narrow and rocky. The Balboa Peninsula has small beaches on the bay side, such as 10ffi and 15'' Streets, and a broad ocean beach, averaging over 400 feet in width. In west Newport, by contrast, the beach is seldom more than 200 feet wide. Public parking jots are located at Corona del Mar State Beach, Balboa Pier, Newport Pier, and City Hall. Restroom facilities are concentrated in relatively few areas adjacent to piers and some street ends. There are long stretches of beaches that do not have conveniently located public restrooms. The availability of public restrooms is also a problem for people on boats not equipped with restroom facilities and for visitors to Upper Newport Bay. �3 A -3 RECREATIONAND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT TECHNICAL APPENDIX • Newport Harbor is one of the largest small craft harbors in the United States. Thousands of small boats are moored at residential piers, commercial slips or bay' moorings launched at the boat ramps and kept in dry storage in areas adjacent to the harbor and the Upper Bay or trailered from other areas. The harbor contains 1,230 residential piers, 2,119 commercial slips and side ties, and 1,221 bay, moorings. The Harbor Patrol has 11 moorings and five slips which are available to guests and also assists visiting boats in finding a place to stay once these are occupied. The harbor has eight marinas, four gas• docks /service stations, boat pump -out 'facilities, numerous boat rentals, and firms providing fishing excursions and harbor tours. Several yacht clubs provide their members with storage and launching facilities. Privately -owned launching facilities are available to the general public in the Upper Bay but are primarily used for launching power boats since most sailboats cannot pass under the PCH bridge over the Bay. The public bay beach at 18th Street is used to launch small sailboats.

Discussion Staff received the attached letter (Attachment A) from Mr. Patrick M. Digiacomo, President of the Harbor View Community Association, requesting that the City allow the Association to expand their pool and,deck area into the Buffalo Hills Park. The request is' based on a significant increase in the number of participants in the Association's swimming program as well as safety considerations. The park area that would be affected by the expansion project is approximately 6,000 square feet. The attached diagram (Attachment B) illustrates the impact on the City sand volleyball court, picnic area, and three trees. The value of the three trees total $3,100. The Association has observed that the court is not regularly used by the public and staff concurs. Staff will have photographs of the area at the Commission meeting. The Association has offered to provide a significant number of park improvements that include enhancement of the play area, a new picnic area with tables, a new picnic table for the baseball field, and new soccer goals. The proposed enhancements total $7220. If the Commission approves the concept, staff will then inform the Association to 'begin processing the necessary documents for a lot .line adjustment and formal agreement through the Public Works Department. Any agreement will ultimately require City Council approval. The Association will be required to • ?6 meet all City building codes and provide for any additional landscaping and modifications to the park irrigation system as part of the project. Mr. Digiacomo and the property owners within 300 feet of the proposed project have received a copy of this report and a notice of the August 5 Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission meeting. Public Works Department staff will also be available to answer questions at the Commission meeting. Very respectfully, David E. Niederhaus DEN/MGL/pw Attachments: Attachment A, Letter from Mr. Digiacomo Attachment B, Diagram of Pool Area HARBOR VIEW COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION July 18, 1997 Mr. David E. Niederhaus Director, General Services Department City of Newport Beach P.O. Box 1768 Newport Beach, California 92658 Dear Dave, Thank you for meeting with Mr. Robert Wynn and myself at the Harbor View pool facility. This letter shall serve as our official request for an encroachment agreement between the Harbor View Community Association and the City of Newport Beach covering the enclosed detailed area. The purpose of this agreement would be to expand the community pool and deck area. The pool is used by the entire association of 523 homes and by other Newport Beach residents during swim meets, swim practice, and social functions. Because of the dramatic increase in families with younger children combined with a swim team that has over 275 swimmers vs.50 when the when the development was built. The current pool facility is grossly inadequate both from a safety and comfort standpoint. In keeping consistent with Harbor View phase II's pool expansion last year and there improvement to the city parks. We would like to provide at our expense the following items to improve the City park in Harbor View. (Buffalo Hills Park) Play Area Concrete mow strip at base of block wall 2 concrete benches with donated plaques slab for benches Total cost approx. $2620.00 Picnic Slab Area 2 concrete picnic tables slab to accommodate 2 concrete tables Total cost approx. $2000.00 Baseball field 1 concrete picnic table HARBOR VIEW COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION PATRICK M. DIGIACOMO 1701 PORT SHEFFIELD PLACE NEWPORT BEACH, CA. 92660 �1 C] Total cost approx. $600 Soccer Field Two new soccer goals Total cost approx. $2000 A tremendous amount of time has gone into the planning of this pool expansion including a large fund- raising campaign.

Director 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport'Beach, CA 92658 Dear Vts Kienitz: In a conversation last week with the General Services staff at your City 1 ard, it was determined that a large marlin statue anti its accompanying plaque were being held there. Originally this statue belonged to %,Ir. O.W. "Dick" Richard and lie gave it to Bank of Newport where it graced the entry to their Lido Office for many years. Upon the closure of the Bank we lost track of the statue and ilirs. Richard is most arLdous to see that it is once again properly displayed in Newport Beach as her deceased husband made many contributions to Newport Beach's growth and development years ago. She has talked with people at the Museum as well as people at the Library (I believe her contact there was Mrs. Robert Nichols) and it is her hope that the statue and plaque can be given to one of these places or the Nautical Museum for display. ,I act as Mrs. Richard's Trustee and as such she has asked me to pursue this as her physical difficulties preclude her doing so. 1 do not know just what steps need to be taken and Nir. Niederhaus at General Services suggested that I write to you for assistance. It is my under - standing that the City is merely storing this statue and has no ownership interest in it. I would be most appreciative it you could call me at your convenience so that we may discuss what steps need to be taken to achieve Mrs. Richard's desires in this matter. cc: NMr. David E.

I can think of no area more befitting to erect a tribute to Mr. / Richard than the Rhine Wharf Dock. • The Blue Water Grill would like to honor the good spirit in which Mr. Richard was known by offering to construct a permanent location for the Marlin statuary, adjacent to our Rhine Wharf location. We suggest that a pedestal and plaque be placed in the boulevard, city property planter (630), elevating the sculpture for all to view with an appropriate bronze plaque placed beneath. The Blue Water Grill Restaurant would like to enter into preliminary dis- cussion with the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission as to requirements and costs associated with our offer. After preliminary design approval and obtaining estimates regard- ing cost of construction and financial feasibility, we would seek final approval at that time. • If our offer is of interest to the PB &R Commission, we would be happy to meet with your committee and the appropriate city agencies immediately.
