Dear Ms Kienitz:
The City Council conducted a preliminary review of the proposals in response to the
City's RFP for the Marinapark property on May 9, 2000. The Council decided to invite
all the respondents to submit additional information that would assist the City in
• evaluating the proposals. The attached Proposal Guidelines outline the information that
the City is requesting. Some proponents provided some of this information in your first
submittal, and you do not need to repeat the information if that is the case. The City does
need to have an equal amount of information on all the proposals to evaluate and
compare them fairly, so I encourage you to provide complete responses if you wish to
continue in the process.
•
To assist you with preparation of a dimensioned site plan, I am enclosing a copy of the
City's atlas sheet for the site and a dimensioned base map from our Geographic
Information System at 1" = 100' scale.
The City Council indicated that the additional information should be provided in 45 days,
so I look forward to your response by July 17.

Dear Mayor Noyes and members of the NewpoW eaB— TCity- -0ouncil:
•�r� I. ut _J "T
I am a resident of Corona del Mar and a dog owner. As you are aware, the majority of the
residences in Corona del Mar have little or no yards. Our dogs need a place to exercise and play.
Unfortunately, the City does not allow residents to have their dogs off -leash in the public parks.
Residents who allow their dogs to play in the parks run the risk of being cited for illegal activity.
I believe that it would be a good idea for the Council to explore the possibility of allowing
residents and their pets to play together in our parks during designated hours.
Of course, the limits of this allowance would have to be clearly defined and enforceable. I believe
that if the free -run time were limited to the following, the policy would be acceptable to the
majority of the residents.
• Residents of Corona del Mar.
• Two specified two -hour times, one in the early morning, the other in the evening.
• The park must be left clean.
Initially, implementing this idea may seem to increase the potential for messes in the park, or an
increase of the number of dogs in our parks. Examination of the issues will conclude that these
problems will actually be minimized.
People may associate free- running dogs with dog feces on the sidewalks and parks. The
connection has been erroneously made. Simply put, responsible dog owners pick up after their
dogs, irresponsible owners do not. We love our community and wish it to be kept beautiful. The
people who allow their dogs to run free take special care of the parks, often picking up dog
messes left by irresponsible owners. The dog feces issue will not be altered by the
implementation of a free -run policy.
Some people may enjoy going to a park and not hearing a dog barking, or having a dog come over
to them. Currently, dogs are allowed in the parks at all times. While the free -run hours would
not effect the rules for leashed dogs in the parks, the number of dogs in the park during "leash
required" times could actually decrease.
In addition, since this would be limited to residents -only, the city could generate additional funds
by citing non - residents.

NPB City Council: Leash Law
Page 2
Allowing dogs to play in the park is compatible with the other uses of the park, such as ball -
playing, and sunbathing, etc. The parks are public, intended for use by the residents. Allowing
the residents to play with their dogs should be considered an appropriate use of the local parks.
In the past, the Newport Beach Animal Control Officers were lenient in their enforcement of the
leash law, possibly because they noticed that the dogs were well behaved and the parks were left
spotless. Recently, the enforcement has escalated, due to calls from the public complaining about
a lack of enforcement. There have been no incidences or altercations between a dog or dog owner
and a complaining resident. In other words, the dogs being off -leash did not affect the
complainant, he simply called to complain. This seems to be a situation where the violations
have caused no "harm" per se, a kind of"victimless crime ". The Animal Control Officers have
stated to us that they are frustrated because they are very busy responding to urgent animal
issues. When they receive a nuisance call from a neighbor regarding an off -leash dog, they have to
spend precious time responding to the call. If this is no longer considered illegal, the Animal
Control Officers would have more time to respond to urgent animal calls.
Please consider the idea of allowing dogs to be off -leash during specified hours of the day by
• adding this issue to the Council agenda. If you have any questions, please call me at the above
phone number.
Sincerely yours,
Melinda Luthin

Dear Ms. Kienitz:
With the authority of the board of directors of the Girl Scout Council of Orange County, I am writing to
share with you our great concern regarding the potential loss of the Girl Scout program center (Neva B.
Thomas Scout House) at 1700 W. Balboa Boulevard.
We greatly appreciate your including the Girl Scouts in your proposal for the future use of the Marinapark
property. in revising your proposals for the city, we urge you to continue to consider the impact the loss of
this facility would have on the Girl Scout program. We ask that you keep the needs of our girls in mind and
work to include the Girl Scout facility —or one of like appropriateness —in the plans.
This facility has been a major part of Girl Scout life in the Newport Beach area since Dec. 1, 1947 —the
beginning date of the first lease. Over the years, thousands of Girl Scouts and their families have had
positive experiences and have fond memories of their experiences there. In Newport Beach there are
currently more than 900 Girl Scouts in 65 troops, as well as more than 300 adult members.
No other local facility offers comparable accommodations to meet the needs of Girl Scouts, especially for
•weekend and overnight use. The center also is used by Girl Scout troops from outside of the city, and the
Girl Scout council has always worked cooperatively to make the center available to community groups as
needed. Additionally, the center provides much - needed storage space for equipment and program supplies.
The Girl Scout Council of Orange County is amenable to the relocation of the Girl Scout facility within the
Marinapark development. In fact, any possibility of beach access for Girl Scout boating programs would
be particularly advantageous since it may prove necessary for the Girl Scouts to relocate their boating
program from the Newport Dunes.
We also support the retention of the program center because we believe that a profound and positive
message is communicated to the Girl Scouts of the Newport Harbor community when they are regarded as
important enough to have a least one facility that is primarily for their use —such as the Boy Scouts have in
the Sea Base.
We would welcome any opportunity to meet with you and discuss specifies of how our program center
needs could be mutually beneficial. Please feel free to contact Diane Smith of the Girl Scout staff at (714)
979 -7900, ext. 315.
I thank you for your consideration in this matter and hope you will support the Girl Scouts to the fullest
extent possible.
Sincerely,
Christine Shingleton

Dear Chairperson Beek,
North Star Beach is a wonderful place for the public to launch canoes and kayaks and of
course, is the home of Imua Outrigger Canoe Club. We are very grateful that the City of
Newport Beach has granted us a home there and we look forward to continuing our
pledge to give back to our community.
Lately, the public restrooms have been in very bad condition Imua Outrigger has been
trying very hard to take care of them, but we are only there late evenings during the week
and Cannot monitor what goes on during the weekend. On Mondays, there is trash
everywhere and we need to re- supply paper products. The Newport Aquatic Center is a
private facility and has posted a sign directing the public to these back restrooms.
During the summer months, the restrooms are used everyday, especially on the
weekends,
I'd like to ask if Imua Outrigger can get assistance from the City of Newport Beech in
helping us maintain the restrooms in good condition all of the time. We are happy to
assist in painting and restoring them, but need paper goods and cleaning service on a
regular schedule. They should be locked at night when the leach and Newport Aquatic
Center are closed. We will work with Billy Whitford of the NAC to make sure this
happens. I know of several occasions when the bathroo is were vandahi2ed after dark.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. Imua Outrigger is available to assist
with restoration and we can be reached at (949) 458 -1605.

I have reviewed the information on the proposed The Regent Newport Beach hotel project
that was contained in Stephen Sutherland's fax of June 23, 2000. If the Zoning Code off -
street parking requirements were applied, at least 420 spaces would have to be provided
if the uses were calculated individually.

However, an appropriate parking ratio can be established through the Planned
Community District development plan for the project. Using the Newport Dunes parking
analysis as a guide, a per room/unit ratio would be established for the hotel/time - share.
This ratio would be based on surveys of hotels with similar characteristics and at similar
• locations. This ratio could include ancillary uses, such as banquet/meeting rooms,
personal services, retail, and restaurants, provided that they are oriented primarily for use
by hotel guests.

Leisure - The Future Economy?
http://www.cprs.org/MernbersOnly/trendscan/tsO6OO.htm
f the agricultural era is behind us and the remnants of the industrial era are fast disappearing, then what
lies ahead for the economy of the future? Well, according to Graham T.T. Molitor, the editor the
Encyclopedia of the Future, our current economic era of knowledge and information is well underway
and we are rapidly approaching the new era of leisure. Did he say leisure is the future economy?
Molitor indicates that an "era" is so designated when a particular area of the economy becomes the
largest provider of employment and soon after accounts for the biggest share of gross domestic product.
This author suggested in an article in
Futurist Magazine that by 2015, we will be immersed in the leisure economy. He offers the following
• insights and information as support for his projection:
• leisure oriented businesses including everything from bars to video stores and opera houses will
account for 50% of the gross domestic product in the United States shortly after the year 2015
• 15 million Americans visited Disneyland in Anaheim during 1996 while only 108 million
(non- business travelers) visited Washington, D.C.
• big entertainment conglomerates and mergers including companies such as Viacom - Paramount
and Disney's ABC and Time -Warner -Turner as forerunner of this new age
Molitor also cites changes in the amount of time people had for leisure during the various economic eras
as follows:
• during the agricultural era, people had perhaps 10% of their lifetime activity for leisure
• by the 1770s with even primitively powered machines taking over, leisure time increased to 23%
of lifetime pursuits
• by the 1990s, increased automation and the speed of everything has caused levels of leisure time
to rise to 41% of our time over the lifespan.
What will the leisure economy mean for public and nonprofit park and recreation agencies? How will we
come to view therapeutic recreation in this new economy?

49 5 Leisure Future Behavior
1 of 5 06/28/2000 2:44 PM
MAY 2000 http:// www. cprs. org/ MembersOn ly /trendscan/tsO600.htm
Ji
ow will people spend their time in the future? What impact will current changes in technology have
is upon our leisure lifestyles?
Well, if current patterns and preferences suggest anything about the future, then there's a very real
possibility that things will be quite different. Take a look at some of the following:
Couch and Mouse Potatoes Grow
Not enough time to do the things you want to doing your free time? Well, apparently that's not true for
everybody. The average adult in the United States spent an estimated 3,448 hours using consumer media
in 1999. And that's a 22% increase from 1998 and represents a 55 hour increased from 1997. Those stats
and other information were secured in The Veronis, Suhler & Associates Communications Industry
Forecast: Historical and Projected Expenditures for 12 Industry Segments. Other pieces of information
about adult behavior from that report include:
• adults watched 44 fewer hours of broadcast TV in 1999
• increased their viewership of subscription or video services by 50 hours
• Internet time went up 3 1. 1 % or by 23 hours and
• time playing videogames increased 11.6%
Over the past five years involvement with the media has grown due to involvement with cable, home
video, videogames, and computers. The time spent with these types of pursuits increased 345 hours over
the past five years. How's that for changing use of leisure time?
Can You Believe It? Play Pam
The students at William Woods University in Missouri will soon be able to earn tuition breaks by having
•
fun. Of course, not every type of fun will qualify; keg parties and couch potato -like behavior won't cut
it. Students at this small liberal arts college can reduce their tuition by nearly 40% annually if they
pursue the kind of fun that enhances their education or boosts campus spirit. Activities such as attending
a women's basketball game, dropping by a faculty art exhibit, joining a book club, performing in a play,
or jamming at an on- campus concert center would count. The college will assign each activity a point
value. For instance, serving on student government might be worth four points while playing intramural
volleyball might count for one.
Administrators are going to any length possible to try and motivate students to become involved and
participate. Do you think this is a sign of the future patterns of play?
Today's Kids — Faster but Less Creative
The FCB Worldwide Mind & Mood study of children reported that today's children
• are techno- driven and good at multi- tasking
• love fast things
• want facts not fluff and prefer knowledge of specific product features and benefits
• too busy for any form of entertainment that is not fun or requires work
• spend more times indoors than did previous generations
• use videogames like other generations used TVs
• possess imagination but that imagination is not getting enough exercise
• need permission to stretch their imaginations
What, if any, are the implications for parks and recreation based on this insight? Children will want to
• have fun, but don't want to have to work at it too much.
Teens Online
2 of 5 06/28/2000 2:44 PM
MAY 2000 ht / /www.c rs.or
tp: p g/ MembersOn ly /trendscan/ts0600.htm
A 1998 study at Carnegie Mellon University examined the long -term effects of computer use on
teenagers. This study identified a potential concern about the 'opportunity costs" of spending so much
•time on line. The study found that teens who used computers, even for a few hours per week,
demonstrated increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. These online teens reported having fewer
friends to hang around with; possibly because their computer time replaced the time they may have spent
with friends.
Perception Gaps
According to a study by the University of Michigan, children aged 12 and under spend 75 percent of
their average week in structured activities. These structured activities include many of the things offered
by park and recreation departments such as youth sports and guitar classes. Between 1981 and 1997, the
amount of time that children 12 years of age and under spend playing snorts almost doubled and grew to
4 hours and 20 minutes from 2 hours and 20 minutes.
Scholastic, the children's publisher, recently conducted a survey of children ages 7 to 13 and their
parents. Some of the findings included:
• 61% of children indicated they would like to take more family vacations if there was time for that
• 34% of the parents suggested that they would rather spend more time working with their offspring
on their homework
• 25% of parents would like to spend more time talking with their children about personal issues.
. only 3% of children wanted their parents to help with math assignments.
The survey asked both children and parents their views as to how children should spend their time if
they were given one extra hour daily. The kids said that if given as extra hour a day, that
• • 23.1% - would play sports
• 19.3% - would shop (if someone could drive them to the mall) and
• 10.7% - would read a book
On the other hand, what parents indicated their children should do with an extra hour in the day
included:
. 24.8% - read a book
. 17.4% -watch TV
. 16.4% -play sports
Some child life experts suggest that parental motivation for more reading and TV rather than sports
relates to the amount of time and effort those activities incur for parents.
Numbers Confusion
ranted all the statistics floating around out there from different sources can be confusing, but just as
confusing is the variations between what people say and what they do. Here are just a few of those
Over two - thirds of Americans are satisfied with their weight including 77% of men and 59% of women.
However, 40% of them, 33% of men and 39% of women, tried to lose weight in the past year (Maritz
• Marketing Report)
The top leisure activity of 44% of male videogame players is playing sports or exercising (Roper Starch
Worldwide)

America's indicate that basketball is their favorite team sport. However, basketball, saw a drop in
.participation down to 42.4 million players in 1998 from its peak of 47.3 million in 1994 (2000 SGMA
State of the Industry Report)
Sales of exercise equipment grew about 6% in 1999 even though increases in participation seem to have
leveled off since 1990. (2000 SGMA State of the Industry Report)
5 Fathers Day Finds New Strategy Dads
here have been a number of changes in how we define fatherhood as well as how fathers view their
roles. According to a poll by the Radcliffe Public Policy Center...
• 82% of men aged 21 -39 reported that a family- friendly work schedule was very important
• 71 % of this same group indicated they would give up some of their pay for more time with their
families and
• three times as many working fathers took paternity leave in 1999 as did in 1994.
In addition, the number of fathers who serve as primary caregivers has increased. More than 3 million
children live with only their fathers. The Census Bureau reports that this number has tripled since 1980.
0 5 Smart Questions
Colleen Aylward, a Web Recruiter, shared with readers of Fast Company interview questions desired to
attract and evaluate talented staff to your organization. Some of those questions are
• Take me through a time when you took a project from start to finish.
• Describe the way you work under deadlines.
• What is your definition of working too hard?
• Persuade me to move to your city.
• In a team environment, are you a motivator, a player, a leader, or an enthusiast?
• In the past three years, what part of your professional skill set have you improved the most?
These questions can also work well for your own personal assessment tune -up or evaluation with current
staff.
is TIPs (Trends In Practice)
While each of us in varying ways has changed the ways in which we live, work, purchase, learn, and
even play due to the impact of technology, how many of us have seriously considered what the
ramifications are for our industry?
• The LLC Tips Challenge for the summer is as follows:
Either on your own or with a group of friends or co- workers set aside a 20 minute period of time — it

could be as part of a coffee break, light lunch, or "before work" walk — and brainstorm a list of program
and service changes we need to make sooner rather than later on the basis of the cyberworld.
• Think about it.
• A college is offering tuition breaks to try and get students out of their dorms and into
extracurricular activities
• Sales of exercise equipment go up even though our levels of activities decline
• Adults spend 3,448 hours a year in front of some kind of screen
• Teens are becoming isolated because they spend after school online rather than outside with others
and
• the list goes on.......
Not that you need an incentive, but each individual(s) forwarding your ideas to us here at LLC will
received a "Come Out and Play" TM gift of your very own. Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Proclamation — July as Parks and Recreation Month
RECOMMENDATION
That the attached Proclamation be forwarded to the Mayor designating July as Parks and
Recreation Month in the City of Newport Beach.
BACKGROUND
July is nationally recognized as Parks and Recreation Month. It is sponsored by the
National Parks and Recreation Association to provide visibility and the opportunity for
communities to highlight the benefits of Parks and Recreation services during the
height of the busy summer season.
• In Newport Beach there are 47 parks, with two new parks coming in 2001; 90 acres of
active beach; 9 Community Centers; 19 athletic fields; an ecological reserve; and
hundreds of recreation programs for people of all ages. These parks and recreation
programs are essential to the community in a multitude of ways:
Parks are vital to a healthy community and provide a means of enjoyment.
Physical recreation and fitness contributes to a full and meaningful life.
Relaxation, rest and revitalization are essential to stress management.
• Recreation provides a way to balance lives, achieve full potential and gain life
satisfaction.
Children's play is essential to human development.
Community involvement in parks and recreation provides foundations of
community pride.
All the parks of the City contribute to these benefits.
•
Proclamation 2000 -
• Whereas, parks and recreation activities enhance the physical health and mental
well -being of individuals, work forces, and the City of Newport Beach; and
Whereas, participation in recreation programs builds self- esteem and provides
positive and constructive alternatives to anti - social behavior; and
Whereas, parks and recreation opportunities and open space enhance the desirability
of communities as locations for business, industry, and residential housing; and
Whereas, parks and recreation stimulates tourism revenues and the economic
development of communities; and
Whereas, parks and open space are vital to the appearance and livability of
communities, protect our air and water, and balance our ecosystem; and
Whereas, it is the right of everyone regardless of age, race, color, religion, gender,
national origin or ability to participate in parks and recreation programs and
activities and enjoy parks and open space.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that 1, John E. Noyes, Mayor of the City of Newport
Beach, hereby proclaim July, as:
• Parks and Recreation Month
and in emphasizing that that parks and recreation services are essential to the
quality of life, not only in July, but throughout the entire year as well.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of
Newport Beach to be affixed this eleventh day of July 2000.

CITY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
June 27, 2000
TO: Mayor ii Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert H. Burnham
RE: Newport Village Parcel
Proposed Arts it Cultural Center
Summary of Legal Issues
The Ad Hoc Committee for an Arts i3 Education Center (Committee) consists of
members of the Board of Library Trustees, the Arts Commission and the Arts
Foundation. The Committee also includes a member of the NMUSD and Coastline
Community College Boards and a representative of the Newport Center
Association. For the past two years, the Committee has evaluated the need, and
developed a proposal, for a proposed Arts and Education Center (Center) on
approximately 3.5 acres of land just north of the Central Library (Newport
Village).
• According to the presentation made to the City Council last year and information
submitted to this office by a member of the Arts Commission, the Committee is
proposing construction of a 22,000 square foot facility. The proposed Center
consists of a 400 seat auditorium, a 6,000 square foot "hall ", a 1,500 square foot
public gallery, 3,600 square feet of "arts education" classroom and 2,100 square
feet of office, coffee bar and storage area. Parking for the Center would be
provided by a 460 space structure with a landscaped "roof' that would provide
approximately 200 spaces for library staff and customers with Central Library
access provided by a pedestrian bridge. Construction of the Center would be
funded through contributions solicited by the Arts Foundation and a fund - raising
event has been scheduled for early August.
The Committee has asked the City Council to reserve a "3.5 acre site" adjacent to
the Central Library for a period of 24 months. The Committee has also asked the
Council to "withhold consideration of any other use of this site until after the
Committee has completed its feasibility study and requested... specific
development plans from the Council."
The Center is one of three land use concepts that have been discussed for
Newport Village. The City Council has considered the feasibility of an affordable
senior housing project and has received testimony supporting a open space use
with both natural and landscaped areas.
n
LJ
• The City Council has asked us to advise on the legal issues related to the proposed
reservation of land, the decisions and actions necessary to approval of the Center,
the role of boards and commissions in the planning process, and restrictions on
fund raising.
LEGAL ISSUES
Reservation of Land
The request for "reservation" of a portion of the Newport Village parcel is unusual.
While the reservation would not firmly commit the City to the use proposed by the
Committee, the action might be considered a "project' subject to CEQA. The
proposed Center is not consistent with the Newport Beach General Plan or the
zoning for Newport Village and the City has not performed any environmental
analysis of the project. Assuming Newport Village was privately owned, the City
could not require the reservation as a condition to any land use approval such as a
subdivision or zoning amendment. Public funds could not be spent on construction
the Center because funds cannot be used to build any project that is inconsistent
with the general plan. If the City Council wants to consider a reservation, the
appropriate course of action would be to make the reservation part of the
planning, zoning and environmental process necessary to approval of the Center.
ADDroval Process
• The Center requires approval of an amendment to the Land Use Element and the
Newport Village Planned Community Development Plan as well as preparation of
an environmental document. A traffic study may be required depending on the
specific uses proposed and any restrictions on the timeframes for occupancy. The
type of environmental document that is necessary (an EIR or Negative Declaration)
depends on whether the Center could have a significant adverse impact on the
environment that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance through
modifications to the project. The consent of The Irvine Company is required by
virtue of the terms of the offer to dedicate the parcel to the City. The City Council
may want to include a parcel map, use permit and /or site plan review as part of
planning approvals required of the project.
Role of Boards and Commissions
The Committee is comprised of members of the Board of Library Trustees
(Trustees) and the Arts Commission (Arts). The Parks Beaches and Recreation
Commission (PBR) has expressed an interest in playing a major role in processing
the Center. PBR, Arts and the Trustees are all creations of the City Charter and
each has duties and powers that are related to certain aspects of the proposed
Center. However, in the case of a project like the Center, the Charter
contemplates that PBR, Arts and the Trustees would function as advisors to the
City Council. The Committee members have done a very good job developing a
conceptual plan for City Council consideration and should now await direction
• from the Council as to their continued participation.
• Fund Raising
Council Policy A -5 prohibits fundraising by members of boards and commissions
without the approval of the City Council. According to Don Gregory, the
Committee is aware of this prohibition and has assumed that fundraising for the
Center would be conducted by the Newport Beach Arts Foundation (Foundation)
and /or other private groups or persons. The bylaws of the Foundation state that
the "specific purpose" of the organization is to raise money "for the benefit of the
City of Newport Beach Arts Commission, and its relative activities and services."
While the City Council has no control over Foundation activities, we would hope
that any fundraising activities would be conducted in a manner that recognizes
the City Council has not given conceptual approval of the Center or initiated the
planning process.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is the only legislative body authorized to initiate General Plan
amendments, the only body that can function as the lead agency pursuant to CEQA
and the appropriate body to initiate a zoning amendment. The Committee's
development proposal requires some additional information before it is sufficient
to serve as a "project" for purposes of the Initial Study required by CEQA. The
additional information necessary to conduct the Initial Study includes the extent
of grading necessary to achieve the proposed view plane and operational data
necessary to assess trip generation rates.
• The City Council may also want to determine, prior to deciding whether to
proceed further, if construction of the Center would preclude other uses, the
extent of support for the project on the part of the community, and the position
of nearby residents.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that:
1. The City Council Deny the request for reservation without
prejudice to reconsideration at some future date;
2. The Mayor appoint two members of the City Council and one
member of PBR, Arts and the Trustees to an ad hoc committee;
3. The ad hoc committee be directed to:
(a) meet with interested parties, members of the
community and potentially impacted residents to
determine their position on the Center and the
appropriate use(s) of Newport Village;
(b) determine if the Center would preclude other uses of
Newport Village site that may have support in the
community;
n
f_J
• (c) obtain any information necessary to initiate general
plan /zoning amendments for the Center if the Council
were inclined to do so; and
4. The Council Members on the ad hoc committee report the
findings and make recommendations to the City Council after
completing the tasks outlined in 3 (a) -(c).

Re: Arts and Education Center Proposal for
North of the Main Library
Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
• On June 15, 2000, the Corona Del Mar Residents Association Board
of Directors met. It was anticipated that we would have a presentation from the City
staff which would address, among other things, the current land uses designated for
the 12 acres of open space north of the main library, between Avocado and
MacArthur Boulevard. Due to a personal family emergency, Planning Director
Patricia Temple was unable to attend our meeting and brief our Board.
The Board feels that it is essential that we have all of the facts about
what is currently planned, a base line, and information about the various proposals
for the site in order to make an informed decision. The Board voted unanimously
to ask you and the City Council to look at the 12 acre site as a whole. We feel very
strongly that the City should not engage in piecemeal planning for this valuable open
space.
We look forward to working with the City in planning for this site.
Very truly yours
C=ABoard of Directors,

Dear City Council: CCITIVL ` t " , —LLRt;
1 : ' '..i'r'ORT8Ci1CIi
Thank you for denying Don Gregory and the arts & education center committee an
assurance to set aside land for an arts center on the open space property adjacent to the library. We
continue to believe that a natural park with walking paths is the best use of this land. There is a
fine arts center less than a mile away, the Orange County Museum of Art. If, and when, the
OCMA moves to Costa Mesa, a Newport arts & education center could be established on that site.

Re: Proposed Cultural Arts Center
The Ad Hoc Committee for an Arts Et Education Center submits the attached proposal for
consideration by City Council.
This Ad Hoc Committee has been meeting since the summer of 1998, exploring the need for
and developing a proposal for an Arts @ Education Center for the City. The Committee
includes:
Patrick Bartolic, Board of Library Trustees
Jay Bauer, Arts Foundation
Lyn Belasco, Arts Commission
Denise Carcel, Arts Foundation
Vat Carson, Arts Foundation
Arlene Cartozian, Arts Commission
Margo Chamberlin, Arts Foundation
Paul Cohen, Arts Foundation

Catherine Michaels, Arts Commission
Essie Pinsker, Arts Foundation
Lisa Reedy, Director, Newport Center Association
Serene Stokes, Board Member, NMUSD
Bill Valentine, Former Member, Arts Commission
Jim Wood, Board of Library Trustees
The Ad Hoc Committee has previously presented information on this project at the City
Council Study Session on November 22, 1999, and at the City Council meeting of December
13, 1999. Information was requested on the designated use of this site; the following was
provided by Planning Director Patty Temple.
The Land Use Element of the General Plan designates the site northerly of the Newport Beach
Central Library for Recreational and Environmental Open Space. This was done as part of
General Plan Amendment 91 -1(C) processed as part of the Library Exchange Agreement.
Additionally, the Newport Village Planned Community District Regulations designate the site for
open space uses. Subsequent to the Library Exchange Agreement, the site was also included in
the Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement (CIOSA). That agreement identified
the site for dedication to the City for open space purposes. The offer of dedication has been
received by the City.
In order for the area immediately to the north of the library to be used for the development of
an Arts 8 Education Center facility, the entitlements will need to be changed. A General Plan
Amendment and an amendment to the Newport Village Planned Community to designate the
site for Governmental, Educational and Institutional Facilities will be necessary. In association
with or subsequent to these actions, the Planning Department would recommend that the
facility be subject to the review and approval of a Use Permit, to help the City establish
appropriate operational limits. Other approvals which may be necessary are a Parcel Map to
establish the building site, a traffic study if required pursuant to the City's Traffic Phasing
Ordinance, and an amendment to the CIOSA Agreement. Additionally, some changes to the
offer of dedication by The Irvine Company will need to be negotiated.

• Arts Et Education Center Ad Hoc Committee
To: Mayor and Members of City Council
From: Arts Et Education Center Ad Hoc Committee
Re: Proposal from the Arts Et Education Center A&Hoc Committee
The Arts Et Education Center Ad Hoc Committee requests that the City Council reserve
a certain 3.5 acre site to the Newport Beach Center Library for an Arts Et Education
Center as follows:
1. the City withhold consideration of any other use of this site until after the
Committee has completed its feasibility study and has requested further
specific development plans from the Council;
2. this reservation be for a period not to exceed 24 months; and
3. the Committee to report back to the Council the results of such a feasibility
study.
The Committee's ultimate objective is that such a Center, as generally described in
• the Fact Sheet attached, be constructed with private funds, solicited and received
through the Arts Foundation, located upon this site and allocated for a nominal
amount for this purpose.
Attachment
•
• Arts 8: Education Center Ad Hoc Committee
FACT SHEET — MAY 2000
The Proposed Newport Beach Arts Et Education Center
PROPOSAL — The 22,000 sq. ft. Newport Beach Arts 8: Education Center ( NBAEC) will include a-
400 seat raked -floor auditorium, a 6,000 sq. ft. reception area, an 1,800 sq. ft. public art
gallery, three studio/ classrooms, office and storage space, and a 460 slot underground
parking garage. Also included, a landscaped roof, an outdoor ocean view sitting area and
sculpture garden with a pedestrian bridge to the Central Library.
PURPOSE — The NBAEC will accommodate lectures, panel discussions, films, musical recitals,
civic meetings, debates, graduation/ award ceremonies, receptions and small dance and
theatre productions (there will be no fly loft).
NEED — Newport Beach, a City of over 70,000, has no cultural, civic or community center as
such. The primary venue is the flat -floor Central Library Friends Meeting Room which
accommodates 200 people and is heavily booked.
LOCATION — On a 3.5 acre site behind and adjacent to the Newport Beach Central Library.
The remainder of the property, 12.5 acres in all, will be available for other uses or open
space. The facility will not be higher than the current ground level, thus views will be
• preserved or enhanced. There will be no rooftop parking on the garage. Extensive
excavation will make this possible.
TRAFFIC — Minimal impact is expected, as most use will be at non -peak hours. The entrance is
off Avocado Avenue, near Farallon Drive, with no access from MacArthur Boulevard. The
parking garage will eliminate Central Library congestion.
COST 8 FUNDING — The estimated cost is $12 million and it will come from the public sector.
The fundraising entity is the Newport Beach Arts Foundation, 501c(3) corporation established
in 1998. Once completed, the NBAEC will be operated by the Newport Beach Community
Services Department at an estimated increase in budgeted costs of approximately $100,000.
Rental and class fees will be charged.
GOVERNANCE — Once constructed, the NBAEC will be dedicated to the City of Newport Beach
and governed by a board of seven citizens appointed by the City Council. Representatives will
include two library trustees, two arts commissioners, two members of the community at large
and a representative of City government.
SUPPORT — The list to date includes, the Newport Mesa Unified School District, the Corona del
Mar Zone Pac (includes 5 PTAs and PFOs), Coast Community College District, the Newport
Beach Sister Cities Association, the Newport Beach International Film Festival Board, Board of
Library Trustees, City Arts Commission, Newport Beach Arts Foundation and the City of
Newport Beach Economic Development Committee.

Re: Review of Containers on City Park Sites
RECOMMENDATION
1. To immediately paint the existing containers a neutral color and explore some temporary plant
screening; and
2. To pursue the planning and funding of building permanent 1,000 square foot storage at Bonita Creek
Park; and
3. To pursue the possibilities of future permanent storage buildings at the Lincoln Athletic Center with
the school district.
BACKGROUND
Bonita Creek - There are currently three temporary storage containers at Bonita Creek Park. Containers
have been at the park for the past 6 years. The Jr. All - American Container has been there the longest;
the most recent installation is the Bobby Sox container. The containers are used to store uniforms,
equipment and field lining materials; the City container, bulk materials for field maintenance such as
chalk for marking and diamond dry. These containers were located in a lower area of the park. However,
•during the rainy season in 1997 they were carried away by the floodwaters and were relocated to the to
higher ground with an asphalt pad.
•
A permanent storage building should be at least 1,000 square feet with storage only bays for two youth
sport groups and two City Recreation Division vehicles, a trailer and field maintenance materials storage.
It is anticipated that a building of this size and style would cost at least $100,000.
Lincoln Athletic Center - There are currently five temporary storage containers at Lincoln Athletic
Center. The three containers by the track have been there for more than 10 years; the two by Lincoln
Field no. 2 have been there two years. They are all used to store equipment and uniforms, with the
exception of the Snack Bar trailer which is used to store snacks. Containers are utilized by Little League
and by AYSO.
Bonita Canyon Sports Park - In current park planning, storage has been provided. At Bonita Canyon Sports
Park, there is storage space in the three restroom buildings. One has 390 square feet of storage; the
other two 330 square feet each. Some of that space is reserved for in -house parks staff storage.
However, the majority if designated for Little League and AYSO storage. The total storage space is 1,050
square feet.

SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To retain a City Rusty Leaf Fig tree at 2306 Port Aberdeen Place
• History
Ms. Joanne Burns, property owner of 2306 Port Aberdeen Place, has submitted the attached
Tree Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal of
City tree based on private and public property damage.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The applicant has indicated a repeated history of damaging property per the attached Tree
Removal Request form. City records could not verify proven and repeated history nor did
the applicant provide any records to verify damage exceeding $500. Additionally, the
private parkway has not been City approved since there is no record of an encroachment
permit. Staff recommends that the tree be retained, the applicant applies for an
Encroachment Permit when repairs occur on the walkway at their expense, and that City staff
root prune the parkway to accommodate the repairs at no expense to the applicant.
This request does not meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.
• Ms. Burns has received a copy of this report and notice of the July 5 Commission meeting.

Botanical Name: Ficus rubiginosa
Common Name: Rusty Leaf Fig
Designated Street Tree: Sawtooth zelkova
Estimated Tree Value: $3,518

PB &R Commission Agenda
Item No.
July 5, 2000
W
FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To postpone a tree removal at 301 Main Street until reforestation for the entire Balboa
Village area can be considered.
History
Ms. Nada Hannaford, property owner of 301 Main Street, has submitted the attached Tree
Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal of a City
Ficus tree due to private property damage.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The City Utility Division staff confirmed a sewer lateral obstruction by tree roots. However,
staff indicated the root intrusion was caused by ineffective and outdated sewer lateral
material (cast iron or clay pipe), which is prone to cracks and poor joint assembly and allows
root intrusion. Current plastic sewer pipe material does not allow any root intrusion. In
staffs opinion, the cause of the sewage blockage was due to ineffective sewer pipe material.
However, the Risk Manager has not yet determined the liability. Removal of the tree will
not guarantee any further root intrusion since there are nearby Ficus trees that could intrude
the outdated sewer lateral material, as well as continue uplifting the building foundation.
Additionally, this tree is listed as a Special City Tree per G -1 Policy and requires specific
treatment to retain the tree. Specific treatment would include complete replacement of the
C:\ WI NDOW5\ Deskmp \992000\KRPuks\PBR\PBRJuly\Han ford.doc
• sewer lateral with upgraded material which would be very costly due to the surrounding
hardscape.
This request does meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.
Ms. Hannaford and her attorney, Mr. Jon J. Visel, have received a copy of this report and
notice of the July 5 Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

TO
FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To retain 2 Brazilian Pepper trees located at 3501 and 3507 Surfview Lane.
History
Mr. Harold Betz and Mr. Paul Siconolfi, property owners of 3501 Surfview Lane and 3507
Surfview Lane respectively, have submitted the attached Tree Removal Request form
pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal of 2 City trees.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The applicants have requested both trees be removed due to a beautification project that they
wish to undertake. Staff recommends that the trees be retained presently and that the
Commission consider two options: 1. Retain the trees, root prune the parkway to grade
within 3' from the trunk to allow for sod installation. There will be no cost to the applicants
for root pruning. 2. The applicants would be able to reapply for tree removal under
Reforestation through their Homeowners Association Harbor View Hill South Homeowners
Association. The Association would bare the cost of removal and replanting.
This request does not meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.

SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
PB &R Commission Agenda
Item No. 16
July 5, 2000
• To remove a City Ficus tree at 1132 Sea Lane due to repeated public property damage.
History
Mr. David Gralnik, property owner of 1132 Sea Lane, has submitted the attached Tree
Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal of a City
Ficus street tree adjacent to his home.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The applicant has indicated a repeated history of tree root damage to public and private
property. City records have verified this claim, as well as a complete dig out of the sewer
lateral which was replaced with plastic pipe by the City Utility Division. Although the sewer
lateral has been replaced with upgraded material and it is unlikely tree roots will damage the
upgraded material, staff recommends tree removal and replacement. This recommendation
is based upon a repeated history of damaging public and private sewers as outlined in the G-
1 Policy.
• This request does meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.

TREE INSPECTION REPORT
Name: Mr. David Gralnik
Address: 1132 Sea Lane
Phone Number: (949) 759 -8984
Request: Remove tree due to property damage, see attached letter and Tree
Removal Request form.
Botanical Name: Ficus microcarpa `Nitida'
Common Name: Indian Laurel Fig
Designated Street Tree: Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo)
• Estimated Tree Value: $2,473
Damage: Repeated history of sewer obstruction.
Parkway: Concrete Brick ur Other
Comments: City records indicate 5 service requests to clear tree root obstructions
by the City's Utility Division staff.
Inspected by: C�L L4-1-9 Date• 6/19/00
Recommendation: The applicant has indicated a repeated history of tree root
damage to public and private property. City records have verified this claim, as well
as a complete dig out of the sewer lateral which was replaced with plastic pipe by the
City Utility Division. Although the sewer lateral has been replaced with upgraded
material and it is unlikely tree roots will damage the upgraded material, staff
recommends tree removal and replacement. This recommendation is based upon a
repeated history of damaging public and private sewers as outlined in the G -1 Policy.

Item No. —�L
July 5, 2000
TO:
FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To remove 4 Indian Laurel Fig trees on Clay Street adjacent to 445 El Modena Avenue and
replace with 36" boxed Brisbane Box trees.
History
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Griffin, property owners of 445 El Modena Avenue, have submitted
the attached Tree Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1. The City
trees are located on the Clay Street side of the property. The Griffin's are requesting the
removal of the trees based on private property damage.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The four trees are stately trees and add a distinctive character to the street. However, there is
extensive property damage as a result of massive tree roots which have resulted in a claim of
$15,000 against the City. Also, the massive surface tree roots add a potential trip hazard for
pedestrians. One solution would be extensive root pruning with parkway improvements
(sod, irrigation, root barriers) at no expense to the applicant. However, this solution may be
considered unreasonable since there is no absolute guarantee that future root intrusion may
not occur in short order. Additionally, as a result of similar circumstances one block away,
the City Manager directed staff to remove 9 Ficus trees under the claims or safety issues of
C: \W INDOW S\Deskwp \99 20001KRParks \PBR\PBRJuiy \Gnffin.doc
• the tree removal guidelines in the G -1 Policy. Therefore, staff recommends removals of the
four trees based on private and public property damage. However, to mitigate the extensive
shade lost and character along the street, staff recommends 36" box tree replacements at this
location.
•
•
This request does meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.
Mr. and Mrs. Griffin have received a copy of this report and notice of the July 5 Commission
meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To retain 4 Evergreen Pear trees located at 508 Evening Star Lane.
History
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Van Eden, property owners of 508 Evening Star Lane, have submitted the
attached Tree Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the
removal of four Evergreen Pear trees due to leaf and fruit drop and possible disease.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photographs related to the
request.
Discussion
The Van Eden's have indicated disease and potential hazard as basis for tree removal.
Staff's field inspection determined the trees were healthy and vibrant. The health of the trees
may be a result of staff's most recent micro - injection of balanced fertilizer with a 2% trace of
chelated iron to promote healthy leaf color and promote foliage. Several months ago the
trees appeared chlorotic (iron deficient) and staff injected them. Despite the recent recovery
of tree healdi the Van Eden's desire removal due to leaf drop and debris. Staff recommends
retention of the trees.
This request does not meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.

Item No.
July 5, 2000
TO:
FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To remove a City tree located at 135 Topaz Avenue.
History
Mr. L. Douglas Sloan, property owner of 135 Topaz Avenue, has submitted the attached
Tree Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal and
replacement of a Carrotwood tree.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal, and photograph related to the
request.
Discussion
The applicant has requested tree removal under the Reforestation guidelines per the G -1
Policy with the stipulation that the City fund the removal and replanting costs. Staff agrees
that the Carrotwood is an inappropriate tree selection for the limited growth space and that
the Coral Gumiwhich is the designated street tree, is a more appropriate selection. However,
staff does not consider this a Reforestation request since City records reflect repeated public
damage over an 18 month period. Therefore, staff recommends removal and replacement of
the tree with City funds. Staff will provide Mr. Sloan with a claim form so he may pursue
and recover his damages through the Risk Manager's office.
This request does meet the minimum requirements of the City Council Policy G -1.

Re: Tree removallrelpacement recommendation at 135 Topaz Ave, Balboa Island
Dear Mr. Conway,
In response to your letter and new City policy statement of March 3, 2000 please note the
following points:
• This tree's roots uprooted and destroyed our brick planter box. We spent $675
August 1999 to have it repaired. The City should reimburse me for the
damage expenses 1 have incurred. Please let me know how to proceed to
get reimbursement.
• This tree's roots uprooted and caused an uneven and dangerous sidewalk which
• the City repaired in summer 1999, and totally replaced in fall 1999.
• This tree drops small seed pods on the sidewalk that pedestrians step on causing
slips, trips and falls.
• I recommend the City replace this tree with one that does not put out shallow
roots that damage sidewalks and planter boxes, and one that does not drop
seedpods.
• The City planted this tree in the sidewalk. It is the City's tree, the City's
problem, the City's liability and it should be replaced at the City's cost —
not mine. I'm responsible for what I plant, and I didn't plant this tree.
The City should be responsible for what it plants.
Replacing this tree is in the City's best interest as well as their responsibility. There must
be some provision for the City to replace a tree at their cost when it is in their best
interest. Please consider this letter notice that I am recommending replacement of this
tree but in no way will I bear the cost when I am helping the City remove a liability they
planted.

Request: Remove tree under Reforestation guidelines per G -1 Policy. See
attached Tree Removal Request form and letter.
Botanical Name: Cupaniopsis anacardioides
Common Name: Carrotwood tree
Designated Street Tree: Eucalyptus touquata (Coral Gum)
• Estimated Tree Value: $293
Damage: Recent sidewalk and curb and gutter repair occurred 10 -18 -99 and
1995. No existing damage.

Comments: Mr. Sloan has requested a $675 reimbursement due to property
damage incurred by City tree roots. Mr. Sloan did not provide documents, photos,
etc. to verify private property damage.
Inspected by:� Date: 6/19/00
Recommendation: The applicant has requested tree removal under the Reforestation
guidelines per the G -1 Policy with the stipulation that the City fund the removal and
replanting costs. Staff agrees that the Carrotwood is an inappropriate tree selection
for the limited growth space and that the Coral Gum which is the designated street
tree, is a more appropriate selection. However, staff does not consider this a
Reforestation request since City records reflect repeated public damage over an 18
month period. Therefore, staff recommends removal and replacement of the tree
• with City funds. Staff will provide Mr. Sloan with a claim form so he may pursue and
recover his damages through the Risk Manager's office.

SUBJECT: Tree Removal Request
Recommendation
To remove a City tree located at 137 Topaz Avenue.
History

Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal and

The applicant has requested tree removal under the Reforestation guidelines per the G -1

that the Carrotwood is an inappropriate tree selection for the limited growth space and that
the Coral Gum which is the designated street tree, is a more appropriate selection. However,
staff does not consider this a Reforestation request since City records reflect repeated public
damage over an 18 month period. Therefore, staff recommends removal and replacement of
the tree with City funds.

Item No. Is-
July 5, 2000
Ms. Alice M. McGrath, property owner of 1527 Sylvia Lane, has submitted the attached Tree
Removal Request form pursuant to City Council Policy G -1 requesting the removal of a
Shamel Ash tree.
Staff has attached a Tree Inspection Report, Tree Appraisal and photographs for the request.
Discussion
Ms. McGrath was informed by staff that concrete repairs were possible without removing the
tree, however, she is adamant that the tree needs removed due to a hazardous condition and a
repeated history of property damage. She will not attend the meeting since she is disabled
and this restricts her travel.
City records did not verify a repeated history of property damage, however, staff did verify a
hazardous condition exists due to severe damage to the driveway approach and driveway as a
result of tree roots. Staff recommends the tree be retained and that the applicant file a City
claim for damages to her property as a result of City tree roots. The resolution could be that
the tree will be trimmed, root pruned, and property damage repaired at no cost to the
applicant pending a decision by the Risk Manager.
