private damage that would,justify'the removal of the tree. Staff recommends retention of the
Brazilian Pepper.
Chairman Schonlau opened the public hearing.
Tom Hargraves, 2233 Aralia, reminded the Commission that the sidewalk has had to be
replaced twice in eight years, and will continue to "be a problem. There are "sucker roots"
surrounding the tree that are 2 feet tall, and he would like to know if they could be
removed.
Director Niederhaus stated that there are exposed tree roots in the parkway. He does not
consider them to be a trip and fall hazard. Staff, could remove some of those tree roots
starting about 3 feet from the tree, but reminded Commission that this would be very costly
process and may kill the tree. Staff has offered to root prune on the sidewalk side, but does
not feel that there will be any private damage caused by this tree. The "sucker shoots" will
be removed by the City.

Mr. Hargraves presented pictures of the tree located on his, property and another of the
same type and stated that they were the same age and in the same area. Mr. Hargraves
stated that if the Commission were not willing to remove the tree would at least like the
roots to be trimmed back.
Director Niederhaus stated that the "sucker" growth would be removed.
Chair Schonlau asked if he would be willing to ,pay the costs of removal and replacement.
Mr. Hargraves assented.
Chair'Schonlau closed the public hearing.
Director Niederhaus reminded the Commission that this tree does not meet the G -1 Policy
for removal and restated that the tree cannot be removed without Council authority.
Motion by Commissioner Pfaff to retain one City parkway street Brazilian Pepper tree
(Schinus terebinthifolius) located at 2233 Aralia 'Street. 'Motion carried by the following
vote:
Ayes: Beek, Dunn, Pfaff, Schonlau, Skoro
Noes: None
Absent:, Glasgow, Phillips
Abstain: None
Chairman Schonlau reminded Mr. Hargraves that if he would like root pruning done to the
tree to contact General Services.
9. Tree Removal — Director Niederhaus stated that this tree should be removed and replaced
with a Carrotwood tree because it is three feet from a fire hydrant, adjacent to multiple
utilities, and causing public and private damage. Letters have been received from
neighbors requesting that it not be removed.
Chairman Schonlau opened the public hearing
James McGaugh, 2327 Aralia, stated that he 'has lived at this address for 34 years. This
particular tree is immediately across the street from his home. He stated that it is their view
and to replant it somewhere else would detract from the neighborhood.
Commissioner Beek asked Mr. McGaugh how he would feel that by retaining the tree, it
would hinder the Fire Department in the event of a fire.
Mr. McGaugh stated that if the tree is being removed because of the location to the fire
hydrant, then all trees in Eastbluff that are near a fire hydrant should'be checked. There are
no single cracks in the sidewalks.
Director Niederhaus stated the location of the tree adjacent to the fire hydrant is only
supplemental information. This tree meets the criteria of public (sidewalk) and private
(planter) damage, and has sustained storm damage.
• Mr. McGaugh does not feel that this is a diseased tree and requested again to retain the tree.
Robert Babbe, 2339 Aralia, stated that this tree and fire hydrant have coexisted for 35 years.
He also stated that the problems of the tree could have resulted from the current pruning
policy. He suggested that the Commission revise the pruning policy.

Chris Ondell, 2328 Aralia, reiterated that the tree on his property should, be removed,
because of the threat to the services imthe area.
Iryne Black, 1646 Irvine Avenue, Costa Mesa, noted her concern about the application of
the G -1 Policy in this instance as it states that the criteria for removing a tree is repeated
damage.
Chairman Schonlau closed the public hearing
Commissioner Dunn questioned Director Niederhaus on the history that has determined
that this tree must be removed, besides potential liability.
Director Niederhaus stated that the tree trunk is too large for its space and has caused
significant private damage; he restated the City liability for costs incurred. Director
Niederhaus also noted that neither of the two other adjacent homeowners has commented
about the removal after being noticed.
Chairman Schonlau stated that the potential damage is not as high as the potential
infrastructure damage and potential safety hazard. He stated that according to staff there is
decay in the tree; this is an obvious case where staff has correctly identified that this tree
should be removed.
Motion by Commissioner Schonlau to remove one City parkway street Brazilian Pepper
tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) located at 2328 Aralia Street.
Substitute motion by Commissioner Dunn to defer this issue for 6 months.
Director Niederhaus reminder the Commission that the Department has limited resources,
and could ill afford to pay a $1,000 claim and the City would be obligated to do so. He

damage.

Ayes: Dunn, Skoro
Noes: Beek, Pfaff, Schonlau
Absent: Glasgow, Phillips

attached G -1 policy was outdated, but the correct attachment was available if needed. Root
pruning had been done to this tree, but continued pruning could cause the tree to topple.
He also stated that there has been damage to the sidewalk and driveway, and that the tree
removal will reduce the chance of flooding in the rear of the homeowner's property.

Chairman Schonlau opened the public hearing
Dean Reineman, 1877 Parkview Circle, Costa Mesa, stated his concern, as this tree is a
special tree, he suggested using copper sulfate in the homeowner's drain, which might
alleviate any future flooding.
Director Niederhaus stated that drainage is a City responsibility. Copper sulfate is routinely
used for septic tanks in rural areas, but should not be used by our citizens. The tree would
need to be pruned on the other two sides, significantly at the base; and there is potential
damage to sidewalk, curb, gutter, and driveway approach
Iryne Black, 1646 Irvine Avenue, also stated' her concern about removing a special tree.
Chairman Schonlau closed the public hearing
Director Niederhaus noted that staff would like to retak this tree, but it must be replaced,
and because of age, in excess of 30 years of age, it could not be replanted.
Motion by Commissioner Dunn to delay action for 30 days until discussion can be held
with City Attorney with regards to liability and, having, homeowner ,McAllister attend
meeting to describe damage.
Director Niederhaus stated that staff has no problem delaying the decision for 30 days; but
restated that there is no question that City is liable if private drainage is interrupted by
public facilities such as the tree in question.
Motion carries by the following vote:
Ayes: Beek, Dunn, Pfaff, Skoro
Noes: Schonlau
Absent: Glasgow, Phillips
Abstain: None
11. Change of Designated Street Tree — Director Niederhaus reminded the Commission of the
past incident wherein an unauthorized removal of trees on Windward Lane occurred. Mr.
Muto polled' his neighborhood and has requested that the designated tree be changed to the
Australian Willow and Mr. Muto will accept the total costs of the tree planting.
Chairman Schonlau opened the public hearing,
Carol Garrett, 2421 Windward Lane, commended staff on making this replacement such a
pleasant experience.
Chairman Schonlau closed the public hearing.
Motion by Commissioner Beek to change the designated City parkway street tree on
Windward Lane from the Brazilian Pepper tree (Schinus terebinthifolius) to the Australian
Willow Tree (Geijera parviflora). Motion carries by the following vote:

COMMUNITY SERVICES
Dear Members of the Commission:
As the Regional Commissioner for Region 57 of the American Youth Soccer Organization
01 (AY9% I writing to offer my services in the planning of the Bonita Canyon Park, in the area
commonly, but belovedly, referred to as the "The Banana ".
Having participated in various advisory meetings with the City Manager, 'senior
representatives of The Irvine Company, the then serving superintendent of the Newport-Mesa
Unified School District, as well as my fellow community volunteers during the negotiations
related to the annexation of the Bonita Canyon development, and thereafter having appeared
before both the Planning Commission and the Newport City Council in support of the
annexation, our AYSO Region was very pleased when the annexation was ultimately
approved.
In the same spirit, and as you may recall, I have also had the pleasure of appearing at several
of your subcommittee and full commission meetings regarding the further development of the
Lincoln School Athletic fields.
As I shared at each of these opportunities, the AYSO soccer organization continues its
exciting growth within our, City, presently having over 1,725 children enrolled, just on the
east side of the Newport bay. This number, to the best of my knowledge, is at least twice the
size of any other youth sports program serving'our community - a measure of success we take
great pride in.
,• I therefore welcome the opportunity to work with you, as you plan the development of open
space within our community, for the use and enjoyment of our children. In specific, I renew
April 10, 1998
Page 2
my willingness to be of what ever assistance I can, in the planning of the Bonita Canyon Park
as I believe that the demographics which you have most recently obtained from our citizens
reflect that youth soccer has the support of the community in its request for additional field
space. You may contact me at your pleasure, either at work (562) 597 -0029, or at home
(714) 721 -9837.
I look forward to continuing•to work with you, as we unit to serve 'bur kids."
Very truly yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kevin J. Murphy, City Manager r""
BY: Dave Kiff, Assistant to the City Manager
bm-
DATE: April 9, 1998
RE: Bonita Canyon's Bison Monument
The City of Irvine's Community Services Commission has approved the design
for a monument to the late William Pereira. Pereira was instrumental in
planning much of Irvine and portions of Newport Beach.. The monument is a
bison mounted on a pedestal with a large plaque. As planned, it will sit in a
small park on the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Bonita Canyon Drive.
Because this is a high - profile location for the people who drive down
• MacArthur, we wanted to notify you of the monument's placement (see the
attached site diagram and a drawing of the bison statue).
The Bonita Canyon Annexation, Agreement that we have with The Irvine
Company tells us that "any and all Development Approvals given for the Project
by Irvine prior to the annexation of the Property shall continue in full force and
effective following the annexation." (Section 3.4, page 8). According to the City
of Irvine (letter dated February 11, 1998), the placement of this monument is a
required condition of the placement of an apartment project on an adjacent lot.
In other words, if the City wanted to change anything but a minor aspect of the
monument, we'd probably have to call in a few chits with the City of Irvine.
We can, however, work to change the wording on the plaque to reflect the
monument's placement in Newport Beach. We can approach the Irvine
Planning Commission on Thursday, April 16th to make this request. Once the
Commission approves the plan on the 16th, the annexation agreement suggests
that "it's a done deal."
Unless we hear otherwise from,you, we will proceed on that basis (to work to
change the plaque phrasing from "...quality of life enjoyed by the residents of
Irvine" to' "...quality of life enjoyed by the residents of Newport Beach and
Irvine. ") Please call me or Dave if you'd like to take another tactic.

Re: April Month Activities Report
Health Fair — The annual Health Fair was,held on April 25 from 8am to 2pm. Hoag
Hospital assisted by providing us with many educational exhibits and this year we utilized
their blood lab. They gave us a rate of $25 for a 28- component blood' panel and an
additional $15 for a prostate screening test. We also added a stroke - screening panel and
bone density testing. The fair was open to people 18 years and older. We had
approximately 500 people In attendance.
Tax Season Comes to an End — OASIS had another successful tax season. Five tax
counselors volunteered 518 hours between February and April 15. Taxpayers helped
increased by 4% over the prior year to 491. Tax returns prepared totaled 554 (284 Federal
and 270 State), up from 503 in 1996 and 385 in 1991. There were many more requests,
but counselors did not have time to fill these needs.
Senior Summit — Celeste Jardine -Haug and Vicki Chin will be attending the first Orange
County Senior Summits, which will be hosted by County Supervisor Jim Silva on May 1.
The Summit will be held at Chapman University. It is intended to serve as an initial "Call
to action" for public discussion and policy formation to start a planning process that will
eventually culminate in a Strategic Plan for Aging Services. Focus will 'be placed on
transportation options, housing trends, health, and long -term care policies and financial
security.

From: General Services Director
Subject: Tree Donation
Recommendation
To accept one Crape Myrtle Tree (Lagerstroemia indica) donation and plaque
from Mr. R. J. Hansen that will be planted' at Veterans Memorial Park.
Additionally, that the verbiage and size of the donor plaque conforms to City
Council Policy G -5, (Attachment A).
Discussion
• Staff received an inquiry from Mr. R. J. Hansen regarding a proposed tree
donation for Veteran's Memorial Park.
Subsequently, the donor submitted a letter, (Attachment B) requesting the
approval of one tree donation. Staff feels that. the 24" box tree donation
would enhance the park. The size of the donor plaque will conform to the
City Council Policy G-5 in size, 2" x 6 ", and verbiage.
Mr. Hansen has received a copy of this report and a notice of the May 5
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

The factors to be addressed in preparing the list of approved benches for the
City as well as the final design for a specific site will include at a minimum:

To facilitate the normal activities and special events of the Communtiy Services
Department.
Historically the Recreation Division staff included maintenance staff to assist in
preparation and set -up for special events, movement of equipment, maintenance
of facilities, on -going support for the plethora of recreational activities conducted
around the City. Requests for support from General Services staff for these services
are now routinely declined. As a result some activities have been performed by
management staff, others contracted out; still others' inadequately performed with
an adverse impact on the product provided to the citizens.

4310 -9300 Sailing Program Boat Replacement
$6,000
The Sailing Program which provides year round sailing instruction to school age
children, uses small boats for teaching. The fleet currently includes 15 Sabots
(small 3 person boats about 10' in length) and 4 Lido's (14' boats). These boats
are currently over 10 years old and have been refurbished several time over the
years. They have deteriorated over the years and the original replacement
schedule has not been followed. A replacement schedule of at least 4 boats per
year is a necessity to update the fleet for safety and usefulness.
TOTAL
$6,000
AMENDED - MARCH 3,1998
A more specific quote amounts to $1350 per boat. Due to the fact that a
special mold is needed to manufacture the boat, the minimum order is 6 boats.
That price does not include the sails which would be another $300 per
boat. Including tax, shipping and other incidental charges, a realistic budget
would be $10,500 per year for the next three years. This will replace the entire
fleet in three years.
The advantage to the Sabots, is that they are built like tanks,and will withstand
abuse. They also are built to ride high in the water, making it easier to pile three
or four students into one boat without danger of tipping.

$2,760
The cleaning of the Balboa Community Center is required a minimum of
twice a week. General Services is not able to conduct the necessary maintenance,
therefore, the services, must be contracted. The maintenance service contract calls

floors), bathrooms and kitchen. A maintenance contract is generally signed
with the same company that provides maintenance at the OASIS Senior Center.

4004 -7020 Part-time Recreation Specialist
$15,000
As a result of the ever increasing older population, the current staff at OASIS has
been stretched as much as possible. The current staff levels have been the same for
the past 8 years. In that same 8 year period the participant population has increased
by 70 %, the frail older population is ever increasing in their needs for services, the
facility has increased in size which provides more programmable space, a
comprehensive transportation system was developed with 3 vehicles, and the class
offerings have substantially increased.
I am requesting a 24 hours a week, part-time Recreation Specialist who will be able
to assist with specific projects. This assistance will lighten the demands on the
current staff which will allow them to concentrate their efforts, as opposed to being
pulled in many directions at once.

Department Organization
The Community Services Department offers a diverse
range of public services that form the spine of the
City's social infrastructure. The four service divisions
operate through inter - department cooperative activi-
ties, under the direction of the Community Services
Director /City Librarian. Three City Council- appointed
boards'and commissions play critical roles in service
provision —the City Arts Commission, Board of
Library Trustees and Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission.
The Administrative Services Division consists
of the Department Director, Executive Secretary,
part-time Account Clerk, and part-time Media and
Graphic Specialists who provide support for the
Newport Navigator and other promotional activities.
The Recreation Division provides a broad
array of activities for the community. The Arts & Cultural Services Division supports
the City Arts Commission, Newport Beach-Arts

programs include art exhibitions; display and inventory of the City's art collection; marketing efforts
supporting City arts and cultural activities; partnerships between arts groups, businesses and the
City; planning and managing city-wide programs for public art, community arts education, and local
arts and cultural events. The division budget also provides for Cultural Arts Grants that are
awarded annually by the Arts Commission.
The Library Division responds positively to user demands for print, audiovisual and electronically
published information. The use of current technology helps provide service in the most cost -
effective manner, In additionto responding to the information needs of the community, the library
provides a variety of materials to meet the recreation needs of customers of all ages. Circulating
collections include current and classic fiction and nonfiction books, compact discs,videos and
books -on- cassette. Adult programs, preschool storytimes and reading programsfor school -age

Department Highlights
Although Community Services programs provide direct, one -on -one services, technology and automa-
tion enhance the work of department staff and volunteers: The quarterly Newport Navigator provides
information about the services of each division and lists available fee -based activities.
Arts & Cultural Services Division worked with,the City Arts Commission to establish the
Newport Beach Arts Foundation, which will seek funds for future projects. The Arts Commission
implemented their cultural arts plan, which included expanded projects, programs and outreach
efforts. Among them was a web page for Newport Beach cultural arts, designed to increase aware-
ness of arts and cultural activities. The focus for 1998/99 is cultural programming and arts education,
with grants awarded primarily within these priority areas.
Library Division increasingly relies on electronic resources to enhance the cost effectiveness and t
timeliness of service. Terminals at the Central Library and the branches will shift to a graphic inter-
face in FY1998/99, facilitating easy access to an increasing volume of electronic resources and
public access to the Internet/World Wide Web. Through the City homepage, customer use of the
automated telephone renewal and self check -out capabilities free staff for other service functions.
Recreation Division staff, with the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission, completed
a revised Recreation and Open Space Element of the City's General Plan. Bob Henry Park and
Castaways Park have been completed. New parks are being planned in the Bonita Canyon area.
Adult and youth sports programming continues to grow. Adult basketball, softball and volleyball
attracted a combined total of 765 registered teams; youth sports programs attracted over 800
elementary school children. Over 350,000 participants enrolled'in recreational activities. Ongoing
refurbishment of City park tot lots is producing updated, high quality playgrounds for Newport
Beachchildren.
S enior Services Division now boasts a 15- passenger bus that shuttles seniors from their home to the
center, thanks to a Hoag Health Partnership Grant. This vehicle augments the services of two Care -a-
Vans thatprovide transportation to residents who need help in getting to medical appointments, grocery
The City Arts Commission sponsored the Back Bay Plein Air Exhibition.

Budget Considerations
The Senior Services Division focuses
on enriching the lives of older adults
through activities and programs.
The Library Division, Board of Library Trustees and staff are engaged in an 18 -month planning
process focused on advocacy and marketing, collection development, electronic resources, and
young adult services. The overall goal of this long -term planning process, Excellence on Purpose,
is to maximize the effectiveness, the use and the quality of the library. The library has also just
completed a year -long reclassification study. The resulting modifications to the salary schedule are
to reflected in the new budget.
The Recreation - Division continues the difficult search for available athletic playing fields and
gymnasium sites to meet demands. With the expansion of year -round play in youth soccer, baseball,
softball and basketball and the consistent growth of adult sport leagues, innovative scheduling is
critical. Staff has initiated public /private partnerships in an effort to subsidize ongoing and newly
developed youth programming.
The Senior Services Division faces the constant challenge of serving ever - increasing numbers of
new retirees, as well as more seniors growing older and living longer. The division's goal is to
identify the needs of these increasing populations and to develop innovative services and activities
thatmeetthem.
7 Each division continues to be aggressive and successful in developing grant proposals and securing
sources of outside funding.

To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Special Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To remove one City Lemon Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora) parkway street tree
located at 1733 Candlestick Lane which is listed as a Special Tree per the City
Council G -1 Policy. (Attachment A)
• Discussion
Mr. Thomas McAllister who resides at 1733 Candlestick Lane requested the
repair of a damaged drainage line adjacent to the City parkway tree.. The drain
line removes excess water from the rear of Mr. McAllister's property.
The General Service Department's Field Maintenance staff attempted to repair
the damaged line however they discovered the adjacent Lemon Gum tree roots
had crushed the drainage pipe and repairs were not possible unless significant
root pruning would occur.
Root pruning at this location would not be advisable since the tree had major
root pruning on two sides of the tree last summer to allow for sidewalk, curb,
and gutter repairs. Additional root pruning would de- stabilize the tree and
create a potential tree failure.
The Urban Forester and Park Superintendent reviewed the request on site per
the Tree Inspection Report, (Attachment B) and additionally found the tree to be
within two feet of the water meter and gas line. Per the G -1 policy, all Special
Trees shall be retained unless there are exceptional problems which require
their removal. The current situation with failed drain lines, and the potential
• problems with the two utilities, warrants tree removal.

• Mr. McAllister has received a copy of this report and a notice of the April 7
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission meeting.

RETENTION OR REMOVAL OF CITY TREES
The purpose of this policy is to establish definitive standards for the retention,
removal, maintenance, reforestation, and supplemental trimming of City trees.
City street trees are an important part of the character and charm of certain
communities and regular care, trimming, maintenance and programmed
replacement are necessary to preserve this charm while protecting public and
private property.
SPECIAL CITY TREES
It is the City's policy to retain City trees categorized as landmark, dedicated, or
neighborhood trees which contribute to and give character to an entire
neighborhood. Landmark, dedicated, and neighborhood trees are identified on
Attachment 1, and shall hereinafter be referred to as Special Trees. Trees within
these categories shall be established, mapped, recorded and maintained by the
Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission ( "Commission ").
• Special Trees shall be retained, unless there are exceptional problems which
require their removal. Prior to consideration for removal of Special Trees, the
General Services. Director, or designee, shall prepare a report identifying and
implementing specific treatment to retain the tree(s). If specific treatment is
unsuccessful in retaining a tree(s) then a full report shall be made to the
Commission before any further action considering removal is taken. Prior to any
removal of Special Trees, the City must comply with the noticing provisions of
the Removal of City Trees section set forth in this policy.
During normal sidewalk, curb, and street repair activity requiring root pruning,
all steps will be taken to retain Special Trees. If tree roots are to be pruned in
association with hardscape improvements, sufficient timing in advance must be
planned to ensure that pruning will not destabilize or kill the tree. If both sides
of a•tree's root are to be pruned, one side should be pruned a year in advance of
the other side.
ALL OTHER CITY TREES
It is the City's policy to retain all other City trees unless removal is necessary for
one of the following reasons:
•
• G -1
1. The City tree has had a history of damaging public or private
sewers, water mains, roadways, sidewalks, curbs, walls, fences, or
foundations based on City records or other competent and reliable
authority despite specific treatment by the City to alleviate
repeated damage.
2. The City tree has had a repeated history of interfering with street or
sidewalk drainage, despite specific treatment by the City to
alleviate repeated damage.
3. The City tree is dead, diseased, or dying.
4. The tree(s) must comply with the criteria for reforestation as
contained in the Reforestation of City Trees section of this policy.
5. The tree(s) have been requested to be removed in conjunction with
a City Council- approved neighborhood or community association
beautification program.
• REMOVAL OF CITY TREES
The initiation to remove any City tree may be made by the General Services
Department, Public Works Department, a legally established community
association, or a private property owner by making application with the General
Services Director.
After receipt of the application a tree inspection report shall be prepared by the
City's Urban Forester (Attachment 2) to determine if the tree(s) meets the criteria
outlined above for consideration for removal. Simultaneously, a notice shall be
provided to the affected property owner and the owners immediately adjacent to
the applicant's property, and the appropriate community association if
applicable. The Urban Forester shall determine whether in his /her judgment
additional specific treatment can be initiated to retain the tree. If a tree(s) is to be
removed', the tree(s) will be marked at least 30 days prior to the removal, in order
to notify the public at large. Once a recommendation is made by the Urban
Forester and the Park and Tree Superintendent to the General Services Director
and the General Services Director or designee concurs, then the applicant, the
adjoining owners, and the community association if applicable shall be notified
• of the decision to remove or retain the tree within 30 days of the proposed
removal'. The General Services Director, or his designee, shall report at a
2
nb
G -1
regularly scheduled PB &R Commission meeting of all trees recommended for
removal, except for those categorized in paragraph 3 in the preceding section on
All Other City Trees. An applicant, an adjoining property owner, or any
interested party may appeal the decision of the General Services Director to the
Commission, and if the appeal cannot be resolved at the Commission level, then
the final resolution will be determined at the City Council level. The
Commission and Council, in considering any appeal, shall determine whether
the removal meets the criteria outlined in this policy, as well as any unique
factors which may be pertinent:to the removal or retention of tree(s).
REFORESTATION OF CITY TREES
It is recognized and acknowledged that City trees were planted many years ago
and in some cases were planted with specific species that when fully mature
create significant problems in curb, gutter, sidewalk or underground utilities. In
certain neighborhoods, mature City street trees may encroach into blue water
views from public and private property depending on the length of time since
the trees were last trimmed.
• Today, arborists have developed lists of tree species which are able to grow in
restricted parkway areas without causing significant future problems to curb,
gutter, sidewalk, utilities or views. The concept of systematically replacing
mature trees which are creating hardscape and /or view problems and cannot be
properly trimmed, pruned or modified to alleviate the problems they create, or
those which are reaching their full life and are declining in health, is referred' to
as reforestation.
As a City which understands the importance of trees and the beauty it brings to a
community, the City desires to continually improve the urban forest through
reforestation. In areas where City trees have been removed through City
initiation, the City should expeditiously replace them with the appropriate
designated City tree. Reforestation may also be initiated by residents utilizing
the process outlined below. The City shall require the proper care and watering
of replacement trees to ensure their proper growth and development as outlined
in City Council Policy G -6. Furthermore, no person shall tamper with
replacement trees in violation of Section 13.08.040 of the Municipal Code.
Individuals or parties desiring to reforest City trees in their respective area, may
submit a request to the General Services Director for consideration by the
• Commission that meets the following requirements:
3
37
• G -1
a. The proposed area must have clearly defined contiguous
boundaries that include the trees proposed for removal and
replacement, street addresses, block numbers, or other
geographical information.
b. Residential communities, neighborhoods or business
organizations must submit a petition signed by a minimum of
60% of the property owners within the area defined for
reforestation. A neighborhood is defined for the purposes of
this policy as ten or more homes in any given area of the City.
As an alternative, areas represented by a legally established
community association empowered with CC & R's, may
submit a resolution of the Board of Directors formally
requesting a reforestation with a statement that all members of
the community association have been officially notified and
given an appropriate opportunity to respond before the Board
voted on the request.
49 C. A written agreement by the petitioning sponsor to pay 100%
of the costs of the removal and replacement of the public trees
in advance of any removal activity. The actual removal and
replanting will be coordinated by the General Services
Department. The total costs shall include only the contractor's
removal and replacement costs.
9
d. The replacement tree must be the designated street tree as
prescribed by City Council Policy G -6, or the organization
must request and have approval from the Commission of the
designation of a different tree species.
e. There shall be a minimum of a one - for -one replacement of all
trees removed in reforestation projects. Replacement trees
shall be a minimum size of 24" box trees.
In the event that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission does not
approve the reforestation request, the applicant has the option to appeal the
proposal to the City Council.

TREE TRIMMING STANDARDS /SUPPLEMENTAL TRIMMING
The City Council has adopted tree trimming cycles for trees of different ages and
species. The current tree trimming cycles and trimming standards represent the
maximum feasible frequency and extent of trimming given current fiscal
conditions. Except as provided in this Section, trimming shall be in accordance
with the standards of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).
The City will consider, and as a general rule approve, requests to trim certain
trees more frequently or to trim trees consistent with practices applied prior to
the adoption of ISA standards (to enhance public and private views, preserve
required sight /distance standards, or other public purposes) which are
submitted by affected residents or the board of a legally established community
association and the request is accompanied by a commitment to fully reimburse
the City for any costs of trimming.
The General Services Director shall establish procedures to implement the
supplemental trimming provisions of this Policy.

May 5, 1998
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Tree Removal Appeal
Recommendation
To deny the removal of two City parkway street Lemon Gum (Eucalyptus
citriodora) trees located in the City right of way at East Coast Highway and
Cameo Shores Road.
Discussion
• Ms. Katharine S. Young of 4601 Surrey Drive requested the removal of two City
parkway street trees on behalf of the Cameo Community Association per her
letter dated February 27, 1998 (Attachment A). Additionally, the two trees are
located across the street from 4601 and 4607 'Hampden Road.
The Urban Forester and Park Superintendent reviewed the request on site per
the Tree Inspection Report (Attachment B) and found the two trees to be healthy
and not causing any significant damage to warrant removal. Subsequently, the
Urban Forester sent a letter dated March 18, 1998 (Attachment C) denying the
tree removals. Additionally, the letter ,stated Ms. Young's recourse for
appealing the matter to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.
Ms. Dusty Burgmans, Community Manager, for the Cameo Community
Association, sent a letter dated March 26, 1998 (Attachment D) requesting an
appeal. Additionally, Ms. Burgmans was informed by letter (Attachment E) that
the appeal would be forwarded to the Commission.
Ms. Burgmans and Ms. Young have received a copy of this report and a notice of
the May 5 Commission meeting.

Newport Beach property that runs between the PCH and Hampden
Road in Cameo Association. They are blocking views from Cortland
Drive and I suspect they have sprung up rather have been planted
by the city.
They, can be located by going on Hampden Road. Tliey are
opposite the fire hydrant between the two properties of 4601 and
4607 Hampden. If they can be removed, it would help us greatly in
an ongoing legal issue between the Cameo Association and owners in

Dear Ms. Young,
Your request for the removal of City parkway trees located in the parkway
along Pacific Coast Highway and adjacent to Hampden Road has been
reviewed and examined on site. Since 'staff recommends the retention of the
trees in accordance with the attached City Council policy G-1, your request is
denied. Our field inspection determined the trees were healthy and mature
specimens.
• If you disagree with this decision, your recourse is to appeal the decision to the
Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission for further review. Do not
remove any trees. If you remove any City trees, the City will pursue
restitution for the value of the tree as established by the City Urban
Forester. If you wish to appeal the decision for retention, please send a letter
within 15 days to David E. Niederhaus, General Services Director, Post Office
Box 1768, Newport Beach, California 92658 -8915 in order that your appeal
can be included on a future Commission agenda.
Please contact me at 644 -3083 if you have any questions

Dear Mr. Niederhause,
The Cameo Association would like to appeal the decision made to retain the two (2) Eucalyptus
trees located in the strip of land along Pacific Coast Highway, on the highway side of the fence
from Hampden Road. The decision was made, apparently; on the trees' appearance. The trees
were not planted by Newport Beach, but self - seeded over time as many weed trees do.
These two (2) slim trees with their full tops encroach into blue water views from private
properties on Cortland and other Cameo Highland streets. The request to rem�7ve them came
from a legal mediation session where the independent judge looked at the situation and decided
that, if the homeowners were to cooperate with the Association and remove their view- blocking
trees, the same could be asked of Newport Beach. She saw these trees as an impediment to a just
and Iasting legal agreement and asked the Association to gain the cooperation of Newport Beach
and obtain their removal.
Regrettably, neither your staff nor the Commission saw the seriousness of this request. We ask
you to respect the legal' proceedings and overturn the City's initial decision. The mediator will
return to the properties in question in early April and assess the.degree of compliance of all the
parties. We hope we will have your cooperation with the mediator's decision.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Burgmans,
April 15, 1998
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated March 26, 1998
regarding a request to remove two City Eucalyptus trees adjacent to East
Coast Highway.
You stated 'that you wish to � appeal the decision by staff to retain the trees
due to a pending legal mediation between the Cameo Community Association
and a homeowner regarding, view obstructions. Mr. John Conway, Urban
Forester, denied your written request for the removal of the two trees on
March 18, 1998, after a field'evaluation. I support Mr. Conway's findings.
As you requested your appeal of staffs decision will be scheduled for review
by the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Department on May 5, 1998 at 7:00
p.m. at the City Council Chambers.
As a matter of information the Eucalyptus trees are City property. and are
located in a City right of way, therefore, in the opinion of staff the City would
not be bound by the legal proceedings mentioned in your letter. Additionally,
the City has the authority to decide what to. do with City trees and property.
Please contact me, if you have any questions, at 644 -3055.

• Agenda Item No. V I -
May 5, 1998
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Marlin Sculpture Installation at Rhine Wharf Park
Recommendation
To approve the installation of a white marlin sculpture at Rhine Wharf Park.
Discussion
Mrs. O. W. Dick Richard has been in contact with staff during the last
several months to finalize the installation of a white marlin sculpture that
her husband had donated to the City several years ago. The Richard's
originally donated the sculpture, "Legend of the Great White Marlin" to the
Bank of Newport in November 1975 and when the bank closed the sculpture
was relocated to the City Yard for storage pending installation.
Staff received the attached letter dated April 3, 1998 from Mr. Jim Ulcickas
and Mr. William Carpenter, owners of the Blue Water Grill Restaurant,
requesting that the twelve -foot marlin be placed at Rhine Wharf Park in a
City planter near the entrance to their restaurant. Specifically, they are
requesting that the sculpture and accompanying 14" by 21" plaque, on a
concrete pedestal, be installed in a planter located adjacent to their
restaurant, the Blue Water Grill. The park is 'located in an area that once
had four operating fish. canneries and would complement the existing
"Mariner's Monument ", commemorating Newport Beach fishermen, which is
located at the other end of the park.
Staff has reviewed the request and surveyed several alternative locations.
The cost of installing the sculpture and plaque is $300' and will be paid for by
the restaurant owners. The installation of the twelve -foot marlin at the top
of a metal pole will require that the sculpture be a minimum of eight feet in
height from the ground to prevent obstructing pedestrians, and vehicles right
• of way, and potential vandalism. Staff will have photographs of the marlin,
plaque, and proposed installation location at the Commission meeting.
Jk
• Mrs. Richard, Mr. Ulcickas, Mr. Carpenter, and the residents who live across
the street from the proposed sculpture location have received a copy of this
report and a notice of the May 5 Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

Dear Mr. Niederhaus,
Thank you for considering the Rhine• Wharf area as a location for the permanent
placement of a monument, recognizing the late Mr. O.W. °Dick' Richard. Mr. Richard
owned and operated the market at the entrance to Lido Island, a block from our
restaurant location. I can think of no area more befitting to erect a tribute to Mr.
Richard than the Rhine Wharf..
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 loco ion. 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 'iscussion with 'the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission as to requirements and costs associated with our of-.'cr. After
prelimir ry design approval and obtaining estimates regarding 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.
Very truly yours,
JIM ULCICKAS, WILLIAM CARPENTER, Proprietors

To All Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commissioners,
LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director,
Steve Hunt, Senior Recreation Director
City of Newport Beach California
Dear Commissioners and City Staff:
After the meeting this Tuesday past, I felt I should write
out my thoughts for your review and perhaps your considera-
tion. These are iust observances that may or may not
eventually be incorporated into the park, but might provide
you with some fodder to think about.
As a columnist with the Daily Pilot, I sometimes hear little
bits and pieces of what's happening in the community. I am
informed that "one" of the persons that attended the meeting
last Tuesday is attempting to organize a "high profile"
verbal and print opposition to the "park" concept for rea-
sons not associated with the park itself. This person
certainly has the right to express his /her opinion, but I
believe that their opinion has already been voiced at the
Tuesday meeting. It is my understanding that our next
meeting of Wednesday May 20, was set up for residents that
were unable to attend the first meeting (not,a repeat per-
formance of last the meeting) in order for the Commission to
collect new thoughts, suggestions and input in support of
the parks future potential. I now read about this person
in the paper that is trying to organize a group and attend
the next meeting in what seems could turn into a "vigilante
type" circus. We all know that nothing is set in concrete
and we invite the residents to become a part of the design
process. Any other motive such as allegations that the
Irvine Company bought the City off by trading out a piece of
undesirable "banana" shaped land for "other" considerations,
is certainly counter productive. Therefore, I strongly
recommend and support Vice Chair Beek, who did a super job
chairing the last meeting, by suggesting that the Wednesday
meeting be conducted in a slightly more rigid environment (I
am informed that press persons have been asked to be
present). My suggestion would include a mandatory podium
visit to speak and hold closely to the three minute time
limit. After all, this is a formal, noticed PB & R meeting
and we can adhere to Roberts Rules of Procedure as we comply
with the Brown Act. However, the last thing we want to do
is alienate the residents. We want their input, ideas,
suggestions and comments and we want their concerns and
fears to be expressed as well. This is certainly not an
• appropriate forum for a person to attack the Irvine Company,
the Commission, City Staff or others. This is a scheduled
meeting with an agenda and I suggest we stick to agenda
items only or else the meeting may get out of control and
not produce positive results.
P, B & R Commission
May 14, 1998

• I would like to offer comments for your review:
1. It appears the opposition to a skateboard ,park is
monumental. My concern is that we must look at the entire
project and the resource it provides the entire recreational
community. If the park bogs down with opposition to one
venue concept, the entire project will become a political
football. From my perspective, the residents spoke loud
and clear at the last meeting. If they continue to oppose
such an idea, then we should encourage the open space com-
mittee to develop new concepts for the skateboard area
(roller hockey, volleyball, basketball, handball etc.).
2. The parking on the street (old Ford Road) is an ill -
advised idea. It is too close to residential property.
Suggestion: Approach Pao Bell for "triangle" easement
(number 1 idea), or create parking in the skateboard area.
3. I was VERY disappointed that no diamond for softball
is included in the park. As a former Bobby Sox and Ameri-
can Girl coach along with Kevin Murphy, we always experi-
enced a lack of playing and practice times and areas, get-
ting pushed out by Little League. Little League has a much
greater political presence, however Bobby Sox has become a
huge sport (over 400 girls in the Pacific Bobby Sox League).
. At least one field should be available for Bobby Sox.
4. I believe that tennis (at least two courts) and bas-
ketball facilities should be encompassed in the plan. This
would provide recreation for a more seasoned individual and
truly make it a family recreation facility for those that do
not play soccer or Little League. The park should provide
facilities for the entire community, not just AYSO & LL!
As proposed, the park is only two - dimensional. This is
supposed to be a park serving the entire community - not
just two activities.
5. Suggestion for the skateboard area could be an outdoor
roller hockey rink. This is a sport growing faster than any
other activity at present and is an "organized sport" with
coaches, parents etc. and may off -set the skateboard issues
as this is a "kind of" cross -over sport with boarding. For
consideration.
6. We definitely need a formal snack bar to serve an area
this size. The snack bar could be manned by the different
league organizations as a fund raising effort in support of
their programs. Perhaps a small portion of sales could be
allocated to maintain the snack bar area and equipment.
7. For safety and convenience, I strongly suggest the
placement of MANY pay phones throughout the park.
8. I don't believe this park should be constructed
without at least one and perhaps two bridges. one from the
Port Streets and one definitely over the park entrance road.

9. My biggest concern is the lack of parking. Eighteen
spaces per field per game is not even half of what is
needed. I feel we need to at least triple the parking.
This could not have possibly be designed by a person that
has attended organized sporting activities for children on a
Saturday. This park will absolutely collide with residents
if the parking issue spills over into the Port Streets and
the first draft design is going to cause such an issue!!!
10. The comment that foul balls will be a problem with the
alcove parking facing the fields on the far right, is
totally unfounded. This is a safe place to park due to
back stops. The next thing we'll hear is that baseballs
should be wrapped in 2" foam because they are dangerous.
I understand and support the popularity•of AYSO and Little
League. They are both fine organizations. However, they
are not the only organizations and activities that need
consideration. This is a park donated to the City for
resident recreation, not just two sport recreation. How
many on the commission play soccer? How many of you play
Little League? Oh I understand that your children and
grand children may play these fine sports, but what about
tennis players, Bobby Soxer's, basketball, roller hockey,
handball courts, SAND VOLLEYBALL courts, a par course and
more. I must admit I was disappointed with the lack of
creativity and attention that should be addressed to a
multitude of potential activities. Please, lets not be
railroaded by the high profile organizations at the expense
of children and adults that participate in other sports and
recreation.
As a thought and courtesy, should we notice the Arts /PB &R
joint committee as to our thoughts and plans?
SUMMARY, SUGGESTIONS & POSSIBILITIES FOR CONSIDERATION:
• Snack Bar
• Lots of pay phones
• Sand Volleyball courts
* Par Course
* Softball /Bobby Sox
* Roller hockey
* Bridges
* More PARKING
* Handball courts
* Picnic tables
Thank you for taking the time to review my thoughts.
Very truly yours,

Re: Castaways Park:
Commendation for native grass and wildflower plantings in the swale
Request to forego mowing of the natural area on the mesa
Dear Chairman Schonlau and Commission members,
I would like to commend your Commission on the development of the natural area in
Castaways Park, which I think has turned out very nicely. In particular, the native grasses
and wildflower plantings in the swale area are now growing and blooming beautifully. I
recommend that you visit the site and see if you concur. •
In addition, I would like to request that you place a moratorium on the mowing of the
natural area on the mesa. This area has native plants such as Lotus Scopalius and
Eremocarpus setigerus, as well as the common non - native grasses and weeds. Perhaps
more of the native plants can be encouraged to grow if they are not mowed repeatedly,
and the distance of this area from development should make it safe from fire hazard
concerns. SPON is also developing a proposed plan to restore more native vegetation,
especially in the slope area above Dover Drive.
Thank you for the natural park on the Castaways.
Sincerely,
Jan D. Vandersloot, M.D.

Re: Newport Village Open Space
Discussion Item V -10
June 2, 1998 PBR meeting
Dear Chairman Schonlau and Commission members,
Enclosed is a letter to the City Manager with copies to the City Council which I sent on
May 14, 1998, concerning the Newport Village Open Space and the proposal to build
senior citizen housing on it.
•
Attached to this letter is a Letter Report, Initial Biological Survey, which was conducted
• by a noted Orange County biologist, Robert A. Hamilton, dated March 26, 1998. This report .
describes the various biological amenities of this site, including the existence of a breeding
pair of gnatcatchers in a mosaic of coastal sage scrub habitat, perennial and seasonal
wetlands in and above the ravine area on the north end of the property, and grasslands.
Animals such a& the Audubon, Cottontail Rabbit and California Ground, Squirrel are present,
as well as 24 species of birds: This is ecologically valuable land and should be preserved
as open space. It should be listed as an ESA area in the Recreation and Open Space Plan.
In addition, the site affords the people of Newport Beach some of the best unobstructed
views of the ocean in the City, including views which extend to Catalina Island all the way
to the Palos Verdes Peninsula, including views of Newport Harbor and landmarks such as
Hoag Hospital. Views vary from different parts of the property and emphasize the rationale
of preserving the entire site as open space for its incomparable views. I don't know of any
other potential public park space in the City which affords such outstanding views.
This site is a perfect place to establish a passive, nature and view oriented park. I would
encourage you to take a guided, thorough tour of the site, before considering any plan to
trade this site away for a senior citizen housing project. This site will some day, be better
appreciated by the 70,000 people of Newport Beach, when they discover what they almost
gave away.
I intend to distribute photographs of this site during the public comments on this agenda
item. Thank you.

Re: Newport Village
Proposed senior housing complex
Dear Mr. Murphy,
May 14, 1998
It was reported in today's Daily Pilot that the City is prepared to develop the
dedicated open space on Newport Village with a senior housing center.
However, the Newport Village open space site has significant natural resource
values, including a breeding pair of gnatcatchers on the site, as well as a mosaic of
different habitats, including seasonal and perennial wetlands, coastal sage scrub,
and grasslands, as well as a number of different birds and animals, including the
gnatcatcher. These findings are documented in a Letter Report, Initial Biological
Survey, prepared by Robert A. Hamilton, March 26, 1998, enclosed.
• On February 17, 1998, the SPON Steering Committee voted to preserve the
open space at Newport Village, and also to preserve the integrity of the CIOSA
Agreement. As you know, SPON played an important part in the CIOSA Agreement,
which called for dedicated open space at Newport Village. To break this agreement
would break the faith with the public. This site is a perfect place for a passive park.
We (SPON and myself), would like to be involved in the discussions surrounding
this proposal. We would like to be notified of any public or staff meetings or notices
so that we can provide input and monitor'the progress of the discussions, as well as
to require an EIR on any development proposal for this site, which we feel should
continue as dedicated open space. Notices can be sent to me at the above address
and to SPON at P.O. Box 102, Balboa Island, CA 92662.
We would also like to make an appointment with you to discuss this issue. Thank
you.

Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON)
P.O. Box 102
Balboa Island, CA 92662
SUBJECT: LETTER REPORT, INITIAL BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
DEDICATED OPEN SPACE PARCEL AT NEWPORT FASHION ISLAND
NEWPORT VILLAGE SITE
Dear SPON,
On behalf of the citizens' group Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON), Dr. Jan Vandersloot requested
that I complete an initial biological survey on a parcel covering approximately 12 acres in the City
of Newport Beach (City). Dr. Vandersloot indicated to me that this parcel is presently dedicated to
the City as natural open space, and that SPON intends to participate in the City's planning process
regarding-proposed construction of residential housing on this parcel. This letter report presents
the methods, results, and conclusions of my initial biological survey.
METHODS
• On 7 March 1997, I inspected an open space parcel covering approximately 12 acres near Fashion •
Island Newport Center. The site is basically rectangular, and bounded on the east by MacArthur
Boulevard, -on the north by San Miguel Drive, on the west by Avocado Avenue, and on the south
by the Newport Beach Public Library. Goals of my survey included (1) characterizing the site's plant
communities, including their dominant species plant and overall condition, and (2) identifying plant
and animal species present on the site, including sensitive species. I inspected the entire site and
made note of each vertebrate wildlife species that I detected. I recorded the plant species
characteristic of each plant community, but did not attempt to assemble a complete list of plant
species present on the site. Observations of sensitive species are discussed, but analysis.of sensitive
species potentially present on the site was beyond the scope of this preliminary study.

RESULTS
• Plant Communities •
The project site consists of a grassy mesa bordered on the south by a native coastal sage scrub
restoration effort, on the east and west by road edges and associated ornamental plantings (in
places), and on the north by native coastal sage scrub and two drainages supporting cat -tail marsh
vegetation. The following paragraphs discuss these communities, and their characteristic species,
in greater detail.
Annual Grassland /Seasonal Wetlands
The mesa, which accounts for approximately, half of this parcel, is vegetated primarily with non-
native grasses and forbs, interspersed with native forbs and sub - shrubs. Considering the site's
location and the species composition, it is likely that the entire mesa was mechanically disturbed
in the past. Dominant and locally prevalent non -native species include brome grasses (Bromus
diandrus, B. mollis, B. madritensis ssp. rubus), Slender Wild Oats (Avena barba'ta), storksbills (Erodium
spp.), Bermuda - Buttercup (Oxalis pes- caprae), Black Mustard (Brassica nfgra), and peppergrass
(Lepidium sp.); native species well represented in the site's annual grasslands include Cudweed
Aster (Lessingia filaginifolia), fiddleneck (Amsinckia sp.), Big Gumplant (Grindelia camporum),
Telegraph Weed (Heterotheca grandiflora), and Deer Weed (Lotus scoparius).
Two seasonal ponds exist within the site's annual grasslands. The larger of the ponds is at the
mesa's northeast corner and covers approximately 0.2 acre. This pond contained water to a
maximum depth of approximately six inches during the site survey, and supported at least three
• species adapted to wetland conditions: spike -rush (Eleocharis sp.), Curly Dock (Rumex crispus), and •
Mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia). The second pond is found along the western edge of the mesa, near
the intersection of Avocado and Farallon, and covers approximately 0.1 acre. This pond contained
water to a maximum depth of approximately eight inches during the site visit, and supported at
least two species adapted to wetland conditions: Curly Dock and Mulefat. Additional plant species
were present in these seasonal ponds, but were not mature enough to be- identified during the site
survey.
Finally, a seasonally wet Swale runs east and west near the southern edge of the mesa; I did not
observe surface water within this Swale, but the swale supports African Umbrella -Sedge (Cyperus
alternifolius), a species adapted to wetland conditions'.
Cat -tail Marsh
Cat -tail marshes are found in two perennial drainages that are fed by urban runoff in the northern
portion of the site. The site's principal drainage runs east and west, and supports a fairly extensive
stand of emergent vegetation, mostly cat -tails (Typha sp.). Also present here are numerous large
specimens of Pampas Grass (Cortaderia jubata) and some shrubby Arroyo Willows (Salix lasiolepis).
Approximately -half of the emergent vegetation was, recently removed from this drainage (i.e.,
within the past week) and stacked near its western terminus. To the north is a north -south trending
tributary to the principal drainage; this drainage supports a stringer of cat - tails. Together, these cat-
tail marshes appear to cover between 0.5 and 1.0 acre.

Coastal Sage Scrub
. Native coastal sage scrub covers much of the northern half of the site. This community is dominated •
by California Sagebrush (Artemisia californica) and California Sunflower (Encelia californica), with
smaller amounts of Deer Weed, California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), Saw - toothed
Goldenbush (Hazardia squarrosa), Coastal Prickly -Pear (Opuntia littoralis), Lemonade Berry (Rhus
integrifolia), Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularis), and California Wishbone Bush:(Mirabilis californica).
These native shrubs provide approximately 80 to 100 percent cover in most areas, but are being
encroached upon by invasive exotic species, particularly Hottentot -Fig (Carpobiotus edulis) and
Myoporum (Myoporum Iaetum).
The cut -slope at the southern edge of the mesa (behind the Newport Beach Public Library building)
is being restored to a coastal sage scrub community comprised mainly of Black Sage (Salvia
mellifera), California Sagebrush, California Sunflower, Ashy- leaved Buckwheat (Eriogonum cinereum),
and Buff Monkeyflower (Mimulus aurantiacus). Scattered specimens of ceanothus (Ceanothus sp.) are
also present. This habitat is perhaps a year or two from reaching full maturity, as the plants are now
mostly two to three feet tall.
Ornamental Plantings
Manufactured slopes along Avocado Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard have been planted with
non -native ornamental groundcovers, including acacias (Acacia spp.), African Daisy (Dimorphotheca
sp.), and Sweet - Alyssum (Lobularia maritima). Sweet - Alyssum, known to be an invasive exotic weed
in southern California and elsewhere, is expanding somewhat into openings in the adjacent coastal
sage scrub community.
• Wildlife •
This section discusses only vertebrate wildlife species observed during the site visit, it was beyond
the scope of this initial study to attempt to identify species with potential to occur on the site.
Reptiles
Two reptile species were observed: Side - blotched Lizard (Uta stansburiana). and Western Skink
(Eumeces skiltonianus).
'Birds
Of the 24 bird species observed during the site survey, most are common native residents such as
Red - tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna), American Crow (Corvus
brachyrhynchos), Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), House Finch(Carpodacus mexicanus),,and Lesser
Goldfinch (Carduelis psaltria). Winter visitors observed on the site include Common Snipe ( Gallinago
gallinago)', Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus), Orange- crowned Warbler (Vermivora celata), Yellow -
rumped Warbler (D mdroica coronata), and White- crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys).
One pair of Coastal California Gnatcatchers (Polioptila californica californica), a federally threatened
species, was observed in coastal sage scrub habitat located in the northeast portion of the site (see
attached map). I followed the male for over an hour and could see that this bird was definitely not
• banded. I obtained only brief views of the secretive female, but I believe that this bird was
1 Observed in cat -tail marsh habitat.

Robert A, Hamilton, Consulting Biologist
unbanded, as well. I could see that the female was carrying nesting material. The male gave a
• variety of calls and scolds typical of the species; at one point, the male and female maintained
communication through paired •(occasionally'tripled) House Finch -like calls: "jrry? jrry ?" •
At one point the paired male responded very aggressively to another bird that remained invisible
to me, snapping his bill and scolding repeatedly. I suspected that the object of this aggressive
behavior was a second male California Gnatcatcher, but did not determine this conclusively.
Mammals
Two common native mammal species were detected during the field surveys: California Ground
Squirrel (Spermophilus'beecheyi) and Audubon Cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii). Tracks, of, a canid,
possibly a Coyote (Canis latrans), were observed along a path on the mesa.
DISCUSSION
Although this open space parcel is physically isolated from larger open space areas and shows
evidence of past disturbance, it retains a mosaic of habitats that includes seasonal and perennial
wetlands, coastal sage scrub and grasslands. The site's wetland and coastal sage scrub communities
are subject to specific state and federal resource protection laws.
The site's plant communities provide habitat for a variety of native plants, reptiles, birds and
mammals. In particular, nesting by at least one pair of federally, threatened California Gnatcatchers
attests to the site's value as natural open space.
• The presence of a Red - tailed Hawk on the site in early March suggests that this species.nests in the
project vicinity .and is likely to utilize the site during the breeding season. Thus, loss of this open Is
space area would likely represent a loss of foraging habitat for nesting raptors.
If the City is considering development of this parcel, I would offer the following recommendations:
Retain a competent, experienced biologist to conduct a full biological assessment of the parcel.
This should include mapping and quantification of the site's plant communities, analysis of the
potential for additional sensitive plant and animal species to occur on this parcel, and .any
appropriate focused surveys. For example, the site's seasonal ponds should be sampled for fairy
shrimps and rare plants; although none were observed during the initial site survey, these
species are typically difficult to detect except through a series of directed surveys over a period
of several weeks.
Consult with the County of Orange and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to ensure that foss of
occupied California Gnatcatcher habitat is handled properly with respect to the Natural
Communities Conservation Plan (NCCP) for Central and Coastal Orange County. Rather than
completing a full set of six to nine California Gnatcatcher surveys, it may be possible to identify
coastal sage scrub on the site as occupied by nesting gnatcatchers, based on the results of this
survey and perhaps one or two additional follow -up surveys.
• Delineate jurisdictional wetlands and consult with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding
potential impacts to cat -tail marsh habitat, seasonal ponds, and /or a seasonal swale.
• • Consult with the California Department of Fish & Game regarding potential impacts to •
streambeds with defined bed and banks.

Robert A. Hamilton, Consulting Biologist
If the City considers swapping this land for one or more parcels located elsewhere in the City, it
. would seem appropriate for such land to 1) presently be zoned for development (not open space), .
2) be of equal area to the subject parcel, and 3) support both wetlands, and coastal sage scrub
occupied by nesting California Gnatcatchers. If any land considered for swapping for the subject
parcel includes degraded plant communities, then restoration with appropriate, locally native
species - should be required prior to removal of•habitat from the subject parcel.

land. If you have any questions regarding this report, or wish to further discuss any issues, please

SUBJECT: LETTER REPORT, INITIAL BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
DEDICATED OPEN SPACE PARCEL AT NEWPORT FASHION ISLAND
NEWPORT VILLAGE SITE
Dear SPON,
On behalf of the citizens' group Stop Polluting Our Newport (SPON), Dr. Jan Vandersloot requested
that I complete an initial biological survey on a parcel covering approximately 12 acres in the City
of Newport Beach (City). Dr. Vandersloot indicated to me that thi's parcel is presently dedicated. to
the City as natural open space, and that SPON intends to participate in the City's planning process
regarding-proposed construction of residential housing on this parcel. This letter report presents
the methods, results, and conclusions of my initial biological survey.
METHODS
On 7 -March 1997, I inspected an open space parcel covering approximately 12 acres near Fashion
Island Newport Center. The site is basically rectangular, and bounded on the east by MacArthur
Boulevard, on the north by San Miguel Drive, on the west by Avocado Avenue, and on the south
by the Newport Beach Public Library. Goals of my survey included (1) characterizing the site's plant
communities, including their dominant species plant and overall condition, and (2) identifying plant
and animal species present on the site, including sensitive species. I inspected the entire site and
made note of each vertebrate wildlife species that I detected. I recorded the plant species
characteristic of each plant community, but did not attempt to assemble a complete list of plant
species present on the site. Observations of sensitive species are discussed, but analysis of sensitive
species potentially present on the site was beyond the scope of this preliminary study.

Robert A. Hamilton, Consulting Biologist
The project site consists of a grassy mesa bordered on the south by a native coastal sage scrub
restoration effort, on the east and west by road edges and associated ornamental plantings (in
places), and on the north by native coastal sage scrub and two drainages supporting cat -tail marsh
vegetation. The following paragraphs discuss these communities, and their characteristic species,
in greater detail.
Annual Grassland /Seasonal Wetlands
The mesa, which accounts for approximately. half of this parcel, is vegetated primarily with non-
native grasses and forbs, interspersed with native forbs and sub - shrubs. Considering the site's
location and the species composition, it is likely that'the entire mesa was mechanically disturbed
in the past. Dominant and locally prevalent non -native species include brome grasses (Bromus
diandrus, B. mollis, B. madritensis ssp. rubus), Slender Wild Oats (Avena barbata), storksbills (Erodium
spp.), Bermuda - Buttercup (Oxalis pes- caprae), Black Mustard (Brassica nigra), and peppergrass
(Lepidium sp.); native species well represented in the site's, annual grasslands include Cudweed
Aster (Lessingia filaginifolia), fiddleneck (Amsinckia sp.), Big Gumplant (Grindelia camporum),
Telegraph Weed (Heterotheca grandiflora), and Deer Weed (Lotus scoparius).
Two seasonal ponds exist within the site's annual grasslands. The larger of the ponds is at the
mesa's northeast corner and covers approximately 0.2 acre. This pond contained water to a
maximum depth of approximately six inches during the site survey, and supported at least three
species adapted to wetland conditions: spike -rush (Eleocharis sp.), Curly Dock (Rumex crispus), and
Mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia). The second pond is found along the western edge of the mesa, near
the intersection of Avocado and Farallon, and covers approximately 0.1 acre. This pond contained
water to a maximum depth of approximately eight inches during the site visit, and supported at
least two species adapted to wetland conditions: Curly Dock and Mulefat..Additional plant species
were present in these seasonal ponds, but were not mature enough to be identified during the site
survey.
Finally, a seasonally wet swale runs east and west near the southern edge of the mesa, I did not
observe surface water within this swale, but the Swale supports African Umbrella -Sedge (Cyperus
alternifolius), a species adapted to wetland conditions'.
Cat -tail Marsh
Cat -tail marshes are found in two perennial drainages that are fed by urban runoff in the northern
portion of the site. The site's principal drainage runs east and west, and supports a fairly extensive
stand of emergent vegetation, mostly cat -tails (Typha sp.). Also present here are numerous large
specimens of Pampas Grass (Cortaderia jubata) and some shrubby Arroyo Willows (Salix lasiolepis).
Approximately half of the -emergent vegetation was recently removed from this drainage .(i.e.,
within the past week) and stacked near its western terminus. To the north is a north -south trending
tributary to the principal drainage; this drainage supports a stringer of cat - tails. Together, these cat-
tail marshes appear to cover between 0.5 and 1.0 acre.

Coastal Sage Scrub
Native coastal sage scrub covers much of the northern half of'the site. This community is, dominated'
by California Sagebrush (Artemfsia californica) and California Sunflower (Encelia californica), with
smaller amounts of Deer Weed, California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum), Saw - toothed
Goldenbush (Hazardia squarrosa), Coastal Prickly -Pear (Opuntia littoralis), Lemonade Berry (Rhus
integrifoha), Coyote Brush (Baccharis pilularls), and California Wishbone Bush (Mirabilis californica).
These native shrubs provide approximately 80 to 100 percent cover in most areas, but are being
encroached upon by invasive exotic species, particularly Hottentot -Fig, (Carpobrotus edulis) and
Myoporum (Myoporum laetum).
The cut -slope at the southern edge of the mesa (behind the Newport Beach Public Library building)
is being restored to a coastal sage scrub community comprised mainly of Black Sage (Salvia
mellifera), California Sagebrush, California Sunflower, Ashy- leaved Buckwheat (Eriogonum cinereum),
and Buff Monkeyflower (Mimulus aurantiacus)'. Scattered specimens of ceanothus'(Ceanothus sp.) are
also present. This habitat is perhaps a year or two from reaching full maturity, as the plants are now
mostly two to three feet tall.
Ornamental Plantings
Manufactured slopes along Avocado Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard have been planted with
non -native ornamental groundcovers, including acacias (Acacia spp.), African Daisy (Dimorphotheca
sp.), and Sweet-Alyssum (Lobularia maritima). Sweet-Alyssum, known to be an invasive exotic weed
in southern California and elsewhere, is expanding somewhat into openings in the adjacent coastal
sage scrub community.
I* Wildlife
This section discusses only vertebrate wildlife species observed during the site visit; it was 'beyond
the scope of this initial study to attempt to identify species with potential to occur on the site.
Reptiles
Two reptile species were observed: Side - blotched Lizard (Uta stansburiana) and Western Skink
(Eumeces skiltonianus).
Birds
Of the 24.bird species observed during the site survey, most are common native residents such as
Red - tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna), American Crow (Corvus
brachyrhynchos), Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans), House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), and Lesser
Goldfinch (Carduelis psaltria). Winter visitors observed on the,site include Common Snipe (Gallinago
gallinago)', Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus), Orange - crowned Warbler (Vermivora celata); Yellow -
rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata), and White- crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys).
One pair of Coastal California Gnatcatchers (Polioptila californica californica), a federally threatened
species, was observed in coastal sage scrub habitat located in the northeast portion of the site (see
attached map). I followed the male for over an hour and could see that this bird was definitely not
• banded. I obtained only brief views of the secretive female, but I believe that this bird was
1 Observed in cat -tail marsh habitat.

unbanded, as well. I could see that the female was carrying nesting material. The male gave a
variety of calls and scolds typical of the species; at one point, the male and female maintained
communication through paired -(occasionally tripled) House Finch -like calls: "jrry? jrry ?"
At one point the paired male responded very aggressively to another bird that remained invisible
to me, snapping his bill and scolding repeatedly. I suspected that the object of this aggressive
behavior was a second',male California Gnatcatcher, but did not determine this conclusively.
Mammals
Two common native mammal species were detected duringthe field surveys: California Ground
Squirrel (Spermophihts beecheyi) and Audubon Cottontail (Sylvilagus audubonii). Tracks of a canid,
possibly a Coyote (Canis latrans), were observed along a path on the mesa.
DISCUSSION
Although this open space parcel is physically isolated from larger open space areas and shows
evidence of past disturbance, it retains a mosaic of habitats that includes seasonal and perennial
wetlands, coastal sage scrub and grasslands. The site's wetland and coastal sage scrub communities
are subject to specific state and federal resource protection laws.
The site's plant communities provide habitat for a variety of native plants, reptiles, birds and
mammals. In particular, nesting by at least one pair of federally threatened California Gnatcatchers
attests to the site's value as natural open space.
The presence of a Red- tailed,Hawk on the site imearly March suggests that this•species nests in the
project vicinity and is likely to utilize the site during the breeding season. Thus, loss of this open
space area would likely represent a loss of foraging habitat for nesting raptors.
If the City is considering development of this parcel, I would offer the following recommendations:
Retain a competent, experienced biologist to conduct a full biological assessment of the parcel.
This should include mapping and quantification ofthe site's plant communities, analysis of the
potential for additional sensitive plant and animal species to occur on this parcel, and any
appropriate focused surveys. For example, the site's seasonal ponds should be sampled for fairy
shrimps and rare plants; although none were observed during the initial site survey, these
species are typically difficult to detect except through a series of directed surveys over a period
of several weeks.
Consult with the County of Orange and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to ensure that loss of
occupied California Gnatcatcher habitat -is handled .properly with respect to the Natural
Communities Conservation Plan (NCCP) for Central and Coastal Orange County. Rather than
completing a full set of six to nine California Gnatcatcher surveys, it may be possible to identify
coastal sage scrub on the site as occupied by nesting gnatcatchers, based on the results of this
survey and perhaps one or two additional follow -up surveys.
• Delineate jurisdictional wetlands and consult with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding
potential impacts to cat -tail marsh habitat, seasonal ponds, and /or a seasonal swale.
• Consult with the California Department of Fish & Game regarding potential impacts to
streambeds with defined bed and banks.

If the City considers swapping this land for one or more parcels located ,elsewhere in the City, it
would seem appropriate for such land to 1) presently be zoned for development (not open space),
2) be of equal area to the subject parcel, and 3) support both wetlands and coastal sage scrub
occupied by nesting California Gnatcatchers. If any land considered for swapping for the subject
parcel includes degraded plant communities, then restoration with appropriate, locally native
species should be required prior to removal of habitat from the subject parcel.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the planning process for this interesting piece of
land. If you have any questions regarding this report, or wish to further discuss any issues, please
call me at (714) 459 -2875 or send e-mail to robbham@flash.net. -

IV Newport Beach City Council
Re: Bonita Canyon Park -
(West Conceptual Plan)
We the undersigned residents of Harbor View formally state the following
concerns and recommended changes to the conceptual plan for Bonita
Canyon Park -West, prepared by EPT, dated May 12, 1998.
We oppose the proposed skateboard for the following reasons:
I. It is better served by a more multi - purpose park use that can be
enjoyed by more citizens of Newport Beach, as opposed to a skateboard
Park, which would be used by a small cross - section of the citizenry.
2. Traffic concerns are increased by youthful, inexperienced drivers drawn
to the skateboard park.
3. Increased noise caused by the skateboard park.
4. Safety and vandalism concerns caused by a skateboard park directly
behind a residential area.

The Slammers Futbol Club is a California non - profit corporation (see Articles of
Incorporation), and as such we are governed by California non - profit laws. In addition,
we have applied for exemption from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, but have not yet received a determination letter from the IRS. Legal
counsel bas advised us that, as a new organization properly organized as a non - profit
corporation,'we will be granted the desired exemption but it may take a few months to
complete the process. Once granted, our tax exemption will be retroactive to our date
of incorporation. That exemption, however, does not add to or limit our non - profit status,
it primary effect is to allow donors tax deductions for contributions to our organization.
For your reference in connection with item number four (4) above, we have enclosed
copies of (i) the face page of IRS Form 1023, our application for exemption; (ii) IRS Form
