Dr. Jan Vandersloot addressed the Commission on behalf of SPON. Referring to Policy G -1 which addresses replacing tree removals, Dr. Vandersloot questioned losing 5 trees as a result of the proposed project. Director Niederhaus explained that the 5 trees cannot be replaced since staff has deemed the locations unsuitable due to hardscape and utility damage. This is in accordance with City Council Policy G -6. Following discussion, Chair Schonlau advised Dr. Vandersloot to contact staff regarding trees that are not proposed to be replaced. There being no further public testimony, Chair Schonlau closed the meeting to public hearing. • Commissioner Glasgow moved to approve the request from Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association initiating the first phase of City street tree reforestation that will be funded by the requesting property owners and the Association.

Mary Moyer, 2157 Miramar and 'President of the Balboa Peninsula Point Association, addressed the Commission. She stated it was her understanding. that in 1985 when the current lease for Marinapark was signed that it was the City Council's intent that the property would be converted to recreational use when the lease expired in 2000. She urged the Commission to recommend this area be used for parks or that the current use be retained. She also noted the City Council's goal to generate revenue and pointed out the Girl Scouts cannot compete against the dollar. Pete Anderson, 1610 West Oceanfront, addressed the Commission and reviewed the • three proposals by the City Council. He stated this is an opportunity to create a situation wherein the entire City will benefit if the area is converted to a park or recreation facility. He also reported that he rarely observes anything except parties at the American Legion which provides no value to the neighborhood or the City. He recommended a multi purpose building, pool, gym or park be implemented foruse by all citizens. 0 to Tom Hyans, 217 - 19' Street, addressed the Commission. Mr. Hyans, President of the Central Newport 'Beach Community Association; stated their Association supports the existing facilities. He doesn't agree with the idea of using the area for the highest and best use of revenue, and urged the Commission become proactively involved. Commissioner Beek noted that this Commission fully supports open space and recreational facilities; and that it, is their role to make recommendations to the City Council. She urged citizens to participate and contact the City Council with their recommendations. Grace Dove, 117 - 15' Street, addressed the Commission and reported that the removal of Las Arenas and Veterans Memorial Parks are contrary to the current Recreation and Open Space Element since, by state law, they are public parks. Ms. Dove suggested the Commission move to recommend to the City Council that Veterans Memorial Park and Las Arenas Park, including the Girl Scout House and the Balboa Community Center, be removed from the Request for Proposals for development of the City property between 1'51" and 19" Streets; and that no further consideration be given to replacing these. facilities with non - recreation /non- community uses.

Balboa Boulevard, addressed the Commission in support of the public beach at Marinapark which is used by both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Martha Durkee addressed the Commission and stated that when she surveyed the Las Arenas Tennis Courts, they were being used by nine Newport Beach residents and one Costa Mesa resident. The tot lot was being used by residents from the Point. She urged the area be retained as it exists since parks are part of the assets of living in Newport Beach. Should the Marinapark lease not be extended, she recommended the area be converted to recreational use. Dr. Jan Vandersloot addressed the Commission and recommended public access to the beaches be increased so they are more available to City residents. There being no further public testimony, Chair . Schonlau closed the meeting to public hearing. Commissioner Skoro pointed out that quality of life is more important than revenue; and that there is a need for more park sites and space for an open window to the exclusion of • hotels and marinas. He recommended the Commission actively support the area for recreational use and suggested the Chair or Vice Chair address the City Council at their October 27 meeting to state the Commission's position. During discussion the Commissioners concurred their position in support of recreation,and open space, rather than commercial ventures, and agreed their position should be clarified at the City Council's October 27 meeting.

I must tell you that Newport Beach is famous the world over within the International Palm Society membership. The International palm Society is an worldwide organization dedicated to the growth of knowledge and appreciation of palms in the public and private sector. The coconut palm on the 2400 block of Coast Highway is famous for being the oldest most Northerly grown coconut palm tree in the world.

Because of the fact that this palm has done so well, and that your city has demonstrated a keen interest in the world of palms, I would like to donate to the city of Newport Beach two coconut palms, one being approximately 8' high: Mr. Lomeli, I must say, that in all the years I have tried to get public officials on the local city and county level interested in planting sub tropical trees, primarily palms, it has been terribly unrewarding. The main interest has been on the Eastern look with an emphasis on low maintenance. Sycamores and pines, to me, do not and should not symbolize California.

City of Newport Beach $300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92663 Re: Cliff Drive Park Dear Mr. Niederhaus, BALBOA ISLAND, CALIFORNIA 92662 October 23, 1997 SPON would like to continue our annual replanting efforts at Cliff Drive Park to fill out the remaining empty spaces with native plants and to strive to add' more color to the native plant palette. With this In mind, we would like permission to plant $200 worth of native plants this winter, as well as to spread poppy seeds along the walkways and also along Avon Street, to add some color in front of Avon Creek and throughout the park. The $200 contribution has been approved by the SPON Steering Committee, and volunteers will begin planting after some rain has softened the ground. The plant palette will be consistent with the plan as laid out by Ann Chrlctoph. We thank you for your allowing us to continue with this public-private park endeavor, We would also like to ask that your staff try to eliminate the giant wild reed (Arundo donax), that exists along Avon Creek towards the western and. This is the big bamboo plants that choke off the creek (not the cattails and rushes which are good). The staff did most of it in the past few weeks, but the remaining plants will quickly grow back. Thank you'for your help. � Sincereriy, �9� Agenda Item No. 10 • November 4,1997 To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission From: General Services Director Subject: Tree Removals Appeal Recommendations To deny the unauthorized removal by a resident of three Lemon Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora) City parkway street trees at 1737 :Antigua Way and require the full reimbursement of $9,344.88 to the City by Mr. Robert E. Anderson. To require that Mr. Anderson remove the four Liquidambar trees in the City parkway that he has planted subsequent to the removal and replace with a single specimen of the designated street tree at a later date. Discussion • Mr. Robert E. Anderson of 1737 Antigua Way requested the removal of three City parkway street trees per his letters dated July 1 and 9, 1997. (Attachment A and B) Informationally, one other Eucalyptus tree was removed by the City at this address in 1996, per City approval, due to significant hardscape damage and replacement. The Urban Forester and Park Superintendent reviewed the request on site per the Tree Inspection Report (Attachment C) and found three healthy tree specimens and no significant damage to warrant any tree removals. Subsequently, the Urban Forester sent a letter dated July 21, 1997 (Attachment D) denying the tree removals. Additionally, the letter stated Mr. Anderson's recourse for appealing the matter to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. Mr. Anderson sent a letter dated July 26, 1997 (Attachment E) acknowledging ,the City's decision to retain the trees and asking for consideration of the removal of only one tree. On August 11, 1997 -the Urban Forester received a telephone call from a resident and neighbor that City trees were being removed at 1737 Antigua Way. The Urban Forester then contacted the Newport Beach Police Department and requested that a Police Officer meet him at the address to document the incident (Attachment F, Police Report 97- 8600). Additionally, the Tree Appraisal Report (Attachment G) indicates that the value of the three Eucalyptus trees totaled $9,344.88. Mr. Anderson subsequently planted four Liquidambar ( Liquidambar styraciflua) • replacement trees in the five foot parkway without City approval. The Liquidambar trees are designated for an eight to twelve foot parkway and will • result in future hardscape damage. (Attachment H) Additionally, three of the Liquidambar trees do not meet the required dimensions as outlined in City Council Policy G -6 (Attachment I) relative to street intersections, service walks, utility meters and driveways. Based on this policy it appears that only one street tree could be planted at this location. The current designated replacement parkway tree for Antigua Way is Eucalyptus citriodora. ( Attachment J) Staff requests a change of the designated street tree prior to any replacement trees being planted since the Lemon Gum is not appropriate for an eight to twelve foot parkway. A future change of designated street tree will require a survey by non -staff (such as Mr. Anderson). 0 M Mr. Daniel Ohl, Deputy City Attorney has met with Mr. Anderson to discuss the unauthorized tree removal and reimbursement. Mr. Anderson has requested of Mr. Ohl that he be allowed to present his position as indicated in his letter dated October 14, 1997 (Attachment K) to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, Additionally, Mr. Anderson has submitted photographs that will be presented at the meeting. Mr. Ohl will attend the Commission meeting to answer any questions. Mr. Anderson has received a copy of this report and a notice of the November 4 Commission meeting. Very respectfully, David E.

Public cooperation in helping to develop and maintain healthy and attractive trees is encouraged. MAINTENANCE, OF PARKWAY TREES ' The General Services Department will trim the parkway trees on a rotation schedule. An effort will be made to trim the parkway trees on less than a three year cycle. If the rotation trimming is completed in less than three years, more frequent trimming will beperformed on certain trees and in view areas. Public safety such as low'branches and heavy foliage will be given priority over view trimming. An effort will be made to trim parkway trees located in heavy summer traffic areas during the fall and winter months. The trimming schedule will be altered to avoid trimming streets with flowering street trees during their blooming time. This will apply to streets having a large number of flowering trees, not to one or two trees on a street. • TREE LIST The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission has adopted an official tree list which will be used by the General Services Department to determine species ,for planning purposes in all new subdivisions and replacement in established parkways.

Chart: A5 MXtaceae (Myrtle family) Origin: Australia (New South Wales Queensland, Victoria) Species characteristics: Form - Evergreen. Tall, slender, graceful tree that is very fast growing to 100' in height. High arching branches and sparsely foliaged crown. Often used to enhance tall structures. Trunk - Usually straight. The thin bark flakes off in large irregular, patches leaving a smooth, chalky white or pinked tinged trunk. Foliage - Long, 3 - 7 ", narrow, golden green leaves, that contain citronella and are lemon - scented when crushed. They seem to cluster at branch ends, giving tree an airy, picturesque silhouette. Flowers/fruit - Creamy white, 3/4" across when fully opened in August and September, are usually not conspicuous due to tree's height. The fmits are urn shaped capsules 3/8 -1/2" long and narrowed at the apex Flowers and fruit are borne in terminal cluster's. Significant pest problem is Eucalyptus longhorn borer. Site suitability: Sunset zones- 8 - 24. Clearances - Suitable for 8 -12' parkways or 10 - 20' medians. Good for streetsides, medians, parks and as accent trees. Does well in group plantings. Culture considerations: Avoid pruning from May to October due to increased attraction to the eucalyp- tus longhorn borer, but needs to be cut back and thinned often to strengthen the trunk. Good health markedly reduces susceptibility to beetle attack. Very drought tolerant once established. Needs staking when young. Comments, notes: 57 RECEIVED OCT 1 41997 GS PARKS/TREES C. October 14, 1997 0 ROBERT E.ANDERSON 1737 Antigua Way Newport Beach; CA 92660 Park, Beach & Recreation Committee City of Newport Beach RE: Tree Removal at 1737 Antigua Way I request my case be put on the 11 -4 -97 agenda and have neighbors speak on my behalf. I have lived at this address for 34 years. I request permission to speak When I moved in, the City informed me they were planting two eucalyptus trees. • The City said that more trees would be planted if I paid for them. I paid for two more. There were four parkway trees in front of my home. The roots from these trees uplifted the sidewalk, uplifted the driveway apron, and caused numerous cracks in the sidewalk, the driveway apron and the driveway. The City replaced 70 feet of sidewalk, the driveway apron and removed one tree. The pebbled .concrete walkway in the parkway was formed with Lomita Stone and matches the front walk and the front porch. It is 34 years old and impossible to match. When two cracks appeared in the pebbled concrete, I wrote the City offering to share in the tree removal expense and share in the expense of planting new trees. The City refused. Worried that the tree roots would ruin the pebbled concrete as they ruined the sidewalk, driveway, and driveway apron, I had them removed. I replaced them with four liquid amber trees and new lawn. • I spent $1,500 for removal and the new trees and lawn. I spent $4,000 for a -new driveway. (A .Park, Beach & Recreation Committee October 14, 1997 • Page Two On my block (Santiago Drive to Mariners Drive) on Antigua Way, there are 24 other homes. Only eight homes have parkway trees. Two - thirds of the homes in my block are barren in the parkway. • • I was never told not to remove the trees. John Conway's July 21 letter states in part, "Staff recommends the retention of the trees." Vandalism is defined as the willful destruction of property. THIS IS AN INSULT TO ME.

Be.- 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 -8915 October 15, 1997 Dear Mr. Niederhaus: The following is an explanation of the decision to remove the City's tree from the parkway in front of my house. I will review the various conversations I had with City officials as well as the factors which led me to this decision. Firstly, I must make clear the fact that prior to the removal of the tree, I made every effort to gain approval of the appropriate City officials. The situation I am currently in is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. My fast action was to contact Mr. John F. Conway, Urban Forester for the City of Newport Beach, to discus my problem. Mr. Conway and I had several discussions in which I explained the potentially dangerous situation the tree was causing. At some point, we mutually agrced4that the situation needed to be examined further by Mr. Conway. I was told that we would schedule a time for I& Conway to visit my home and personally examine the tree and the damage it was causing. After three days had passed and -I had not heard from Mr. Conway, I made several unsuccessful attempts to contact hum at hhs•officc. Thcn; on May 8, 1997,1 received the enclosed letter stating that the situation had been reviewed and that it was the decision of the City to retain the tree. At the close of the letterMr. Conway told me: "Please contact me at 644 -3083 regarding any questions ". I did attempt to contact Mr. Conway four times between May 10 and 'May 22, each time leaving a voice mail message. Finally, after receiving no return phone calls, I decided that I would' move forward with my plans to have the tree removed. One reasons for the tree removal are as follows: 4, The roots of the tree have raised the parkway up to, three inches above the sidewalk (picture enclosed): • The root system had traveled thirty eight feet into my front lawn. • The roots were posing a threat to the water meter. • The peppers from the tree were causing irreparable damage to the paint of cars which parked beneath it • The peppers gathered onthc sidewalk posing a threat to pedestrians who could easily slip and fall. • The trees roots caused backup in my property drainage system causing flooding in my house on four separate occasions. (Bills for air blower and repair materials enclosed) • The peppers caused damage to my carpet after being tracked in on the shoes of my family and guests. I took all of the preceding factors into consideration prior to my decision. In addition, I have noticed that approximately 25% of the homes on Windward Lane no longer have trees in front of them. It is my understanding that the City planted trees in front of each home when they were built. If in fact the trees have been removed, what process, did my neighbors adhere to? I feel as though I made every effort to follow the guidelines the City has created to maintain the pride of ownership for the residents of Newport Beach. I have great satisfaction in the appearance and condition of my home and the property on which it stands, and would do nothing to mar its appearance in any way. I made a decision based on rational thought and reasonable expectation of my City's officials. I.hope you will see that my decision is one of merit and was based on many different factors. I.also hope that your decision will be based on fairness along with the facts that I have presented to you. I do trust your judgment. Sincerely, - �Z_/ *harles A. Muto `� 2 • Agenda Item No: 12 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DATE: November 4, 1997 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: Application for Listing of the Property at 700 E. Bay Avenue and 701 Edgewater -in the City's Register of Historical Property Recommendation: 1. Review application for listing of the Balboa Saloon building in the City's Register of Historical Property; and • 2. Recommend to the City Council the classification of the property as a Local Historic Site (Class 3) Overview: The owners of the Balboa Saloon at 700 E. Bay Avenue and 701 Edgewater have submitted a request to have their property placed in the City of Newport Beach Register of Historical Property. Pursuant to City Council Policy K -2 (attached), this application must be reviewed by the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission, the Arts Commission, and the Newport Beach Historical Society for recommendation to the City Council. City Council 'Policy K -2 permits that a property may be placed in the Register of Historical' Property if it is designated as having any one of the criteria for architectural or historical significance set forth in City Council Policy K -2. The historical designation also makes the property eligible to use the State Historical Building Code. The State Historical Building Code supplants the Uniform Building Code and permits the use of alternative construction techniques and materials to preserve historical structures. The State Historical Building Code is particularly useful in dealing with requirements for plumbing, electrical, structural, seismic, fire, safety, energy conservation, and disabled is access. The State Historical Building Code allows equivalent methods of construction or Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Page 2 repair so as not to destroy any historical features but does not relieve the property owner • of meeting necessary building requirements. Analysis: The subject property currently houses the Balboa Saloon. The application cites that the brick structure was built in 1926, and its original use was a marine hardware store which operated the first marine railway in Orange County used to haul boats out of the water for painting and repair. The railway once ran along Washington Street from the waterfront to Bay Avenue but does not exist today. Since the marine hardware store closed in 1934, the property has provided several uses catering to the waterfront environment in downtown Balboa. The property has served as a bath house, and during World War II, the premises were donated to the U.S.O. After World War II, the bay side of the building became a restaurant called "Pizza Pete ", which still exists today. The inland side of the property has been the "Balboa Saloon" for the last 20 years. The building looks essentially the same outside as it did when the owner's father purchased it before World War II. Historical Significance: The applicant suggests that the Balboa Saloon property is linked to the nautical industry historic theme of Newport Beach due to its operation of the first marine railway in Orange County. In addition, the property may also be linked to the • social history of the City of Newport Beach due to its involvement in bayfront activities and entertainment within the downtown Balboa Fun Zone/Pavilion, area. Per City Council Policy K -2, the Balboa Saloon property may potentially qualify for historical designation under the following standard of historical significance: Criterion 1 -b -i. Sites and structures connected with events significant in the economic, cultural, political, social, or civic history of the City of Newport Beach, the County of Orange, the State of California, or the United States ofAmerica. Architectural Significance: The applicant suggests that the brick design of the building is significant to the 1926 time period in which it was built. The walls are unique in that they are built 3.5 to 4 bricks -thick as opposed to the brick veneer that is typical today. Per City Council Policy K -2, the Balboa Saloon may potentially qualify for historical designation under the following standard of architectural significance: Criterion I -a -i. Structures or areas that embody distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style, period, or method of construction, or of architectural development with the City. • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Page 3' Conclusion: • The historical designation of a property can help to enhance the public image of an area, which in turn may contribute to its economic revitalization. The recognition of a property as historically or architecturally significant may also contribute to a sense of neighborhood pride among local residents. The analysis suggests that the history of the Balboa Saloon property is connected with the nautical heritage of Newport Beach as well as social activities significant to the history of the City of Newport Beach, and the brick structure itself is representative of an architectural period and method of building significant to the architectural history of the City of Newport Beach. Staff recommends that the Commission recommend approval of this request by the City Council. Alicia Harrison Planning Intern Attachments: 1. City Council Policy K -2 • 2.

Background In response to citizen request, Recreation staff met with representatives of the ,Eastbluff Homeowners Association on September 19, 1,997 to discuss the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center usage and the related ,effects on nearby residents. • After the meeting, Bob Babbe, President of the Association, submitted a letter to request future considerations in the policies and procedures of the usage of the Center. The proposed set of restrictions are mainly focused on water polo events held during the summer months. The main areas of concern are the persistent sound of game whistles and participant parking on residential streets. • 6� The current use policies of the pool are attached. Attachment 0 City of Newport Beach October 9, 1997 Community Services Department 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92658 -8915 Attention : Steve Hunt Dear Steve, Thank you for your participation in the recent meeting with representatives of the Eastbluff Homeowners Association. You may recall we discussed our concerns regarding the current operation of the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center and its impact on the numerous homes located in proximity to the Center. We have reviewed the copies of the POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL you provided, along with the USE REGULATIONS, and find that several additional restraints are necessary to provide areasonable balance between the Center's operation and the affected homeowner's rights of" peace and quiet" enjoyment of their homes. • WATER POLO,EVENTS As we discussed,water polo events are the major source of noise pollution and receive the most criticism from the homeowners: We therefore, are proposing the following set of restrictions to govern such events: is 1) A limit of three consecutive days for any event. 2) No event will be scheduled to include both Saturday and Sunday. 3) All events to be limited to the hours between 9AM and 5PM PARKING The parking restrictions in the residential areas have not been enforced in the past by the City. We request therefore, that the City enforce the parking regulations as described in the POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL for all future events. We would be pleased to meet with you again, along with members of-the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission in order to arrive at a solution to these matters,Please advise me as to the time and place we may meet to further discuss these issues.
