Subject: Westerly Slope of Irvine Terrace Park
Dear Mr. Skoro,
Your letter asks me to clarify the fence along the westerly slope of Irvine Terrace Park. I can only give
you my recollections of what I remember from the mid- 1980's when the park was refurbished to include
the tennis courts and tot lot area. As I remember it, when the improvements were completed there were
concerns from the Irvine Terrace community park users that small children would fall down the slope and
that the older ones would try to climb the trees and hurt themselves. Also I believe there may also have
been some homeless making homes in the brush on the slope. To the best of my recollection the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation (PB &R) Department installed the fence to solve this problem. The adjoining
residents have taken advantage of the situation and cleaned up and maintained the slope area.
• In 1980 and 1988, our records show that the owners of 712 and 718 Malabar Drive purchased
approximately 50 feet of property at the base of the slope. Between the fence at the top of slope and the
Malabar Drive rear property lines there is a strip of City owned land that varies from about 30 to 80 feet
in width. Public Works has no record of any encroachment permits or agreements for the private use of
this area. There is a 75 inch diameter storm drain under a portion of this strip on the southerly end. I am
not aware of what arrangements that might have been made by the PB &R Department in the mid 1980's.
When this came up a year ago, I looked in the Community Services Department at the old PB &R files for
any thing that might shed light on the strip and the fence. I could not find anything.
Because of the steepness of the slope, an attractive nuisance might be created if the fence were removed
and the area opened up to the general public. Portions of the strip that are well away from the storm drain
could be sold to the Malabar property owners if the City does not want the maintain the property. If the
City wants to keep control of the area for future expansion of park uses, then the residents could be asked
to apply for encroachment agreements if they want to use the property until the City needs it. This area is
part of the hvine Terrace Park and if the PB &R Commission would like to recommend to the City
Council an action that changes the way the strip is being used, the staff will implement the changes.
Please give me a call at 644 -3311 if you want to review our records and park drawings.
Very ') truly yours

Dear Mr. Webb:
Several residents in Irvine Terrace have raised the issue that some residents along Malabar Drive
adjacent to Irvine Terrace Park have supposedly fenced in part of the land that is actually part of
the real estate belonging to the park.
• Can you please clarify this matter?
Thank you.

WCA crew in action In the Cry of Newport Beach
1999 -2000 HIGHLIGHTS
West Coast Arbortsts, Incorporated
(WCA) pruned over 10,700 trees in
Fiscal Year 1999 -2000. In addition
to the pruning, there were over 118
tree removals and 254 trees planted.
QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE
We pride ourselves on outstanding
customer relations. Our staff is trained
extensively on how to be courteous
and responsive to our customers and
their needs. Some of the topics in-
clude professional dress code, ad-
dressing customers, and respecting
private property.
MASTER STREET TREE PLAN
WCA has completed with City
staff the development of a Mas-
ter Street Tree Plan to manage fu-
ture growth of one of the City's
most valued assets, the Urban For-
est. The primary goals of the plan
are to build upon the legacy of
work that had been done in the
past, address the issues relating to
the health and welfare of the
City's trees and establish a desig-
nated tree list with citizen involve-
ment, for the future. A component
of the Master Street Tree Plan is
the tree site inventory. While com-
piling the units used in the Plant-
ing Plan, vacant sites are also col-
lected based on the criteria set
forth by the City.
Fiscal 1999- 2000
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
Numerous letters were
received from resi-
dents commending
the City and WCA on an
outstanding job performance
during the past year. Newport
Beach resident, Richard Kain writes,
"The Foreman was very cordial and
accommodating. I explained to him
the problems 1 was having with the
slope being shaded by the parkway
trees and the width of the frees grow-
ing into our view of the ocean. 1 want
to thank you, West Coast, for help-
ing me solve this problem. 1 hope that
a regular trimming schedule will be
maintained so we do not have to call
in the future to correct this kind of
problem. Thank you."

Annual Highlight Report
LOGS TO LUMBER
An old idea with a new approach is
converting municipal trees into usable
lumber. In an ongoing effort to re-
duce waste from the urban forest,
West Coast Arborists is currently dis-
tributing valuable urban lumber to cit-
ies all over Southern California. The
program was initiated as a six month
pilot program, working in conjunction
with the California Department of
Fiscal 1999 - 2000
Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF). •
After utilizing CDF's saw mill and with
the increasing interest in diverting
greenwaste, WCA invested in a saw
mill of our own. This program ad-
dresses concerns on landfill diversion
(AB939), air pollution restrictions, glo-
bal warming and increasing prices of
wood resources. West Coast Arborists,
Inc. has set out to make a difference
in our communities.

Recommendation
To accept the donation of one Golden Medallion (Cassia leptophylla) tree and plaque
from Ms. Loretta Herrin for L Street Park. Additionally, that the verbiage and size of the
donor plaque conform to City Council Policy G -5, (Attachment A).
Discussion
• Staff received an inquiry from Ms. Loretta Herrin regarding a proposed tree donation for
L Street Park.
Subsequently, Ms. Heron submitted a letter dated October 5, 2000 (Attachment B)
requesting the approval of the tree donation. Staff feels that the donation of a 24" box

Re: Tree in Memory of Tim Van Ostenbridge
Dear Mr. Lomeli:
RECEiVEn
OCT 17 2000
GS PARKSlTREE,
Thank you for meeting me recently in regards to donating a tree to the City of Newport
Beach. We would like to donate a 24" boxed container Cassia leptophylla (Gold
Medallion) tree planted in memory of Tim Van Ostenbridge who was killed in a motorcycle
accident on July 18t near John Wayne Airport. I work with his mother, Patti Byrne, at
Conexant in Newport Beach. Our Department took up a collection for this tree. We all
think Patti is a special person and thought this would be a nice memorial for her son.
We would like to have this Gold Medallion tree planted in "L" Street Park (cross streets are
L Street, Plaza Del Sur and Plaza del Norte), near the palm trees. We'd also like to get
the standard 2" x 6" plaque with the permitted verbiage that will read "Donated for Tim Van
Ostenbridge".
I understand that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission needs to approve this.
Please put this request on the agenda for their November 7"' meeting.
Would you please notify me when the tree is being planted?
Enclosed is check no. 9069 for $195 to cover the cost of the tree. Once the Commission
approves the tree planting, I'll arrange to have the plaque made and get it to you.
Thank you for all your help. If you have any questions or need additional information, you
can either e-mail me at bherrinlCaZhome.com or call me at (949) 768 -6638.

City Council Agenda
Item No. _.
November 8, 2000
TO:
FROM:
Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Street Tree Redesignation Change
Recommendation
Change the current street tree designation on Riverside Avenue between Coast Highway
to Avon Street on the east side of the street only from the King Palm (Archontophoenix
cunninghamiana) to the Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffianum).
Background
The City Street Tree Designation List is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis by
City staff. Any changes, recommendations, or resident's requests for changes are
forwarded to the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission per Council Policy G -6.
The current designated tree is the King Palm from Riverside Avenue between Coast
Highway to Avon Street.
Two years ago staff planted the King Palms on both sides of the street to enhance the area
as a beautification effort. The palms on the westside of the street have grown very
successfully. However, the palms on the eastside of the street have been a
disappointment. Staff has attempted to establish and nurture the palms but they have not
responded. Staff has concluded that the site is not conducive to King Palms and a more
tolerant type of palm for the site should be planted.
Discussion
The site has poor soils, poor drainage, and various methods were applied at the planting
site to overcome these site conditions with little success. Staff's recommendation is to
relocate the existing six King palms to Grant Howald Park and plant 36" box Queen Palm
replacements with drainage materials, backfill mix, and fertilizers to establish the new
palm trees.

Dear Mr. Conway:
RECEIVEC
OCT 0 5 2000
GS PARKS/TREE3
Please find enclosed an application for tree removal of a Ficus tree at 1512 Lincoln Lane.
I am requesting removal since the tree roots continue to cause excessive, repeated
damage to the main sewer line at my residence. I am enclosing copies of 4 bills I have
incurred since February 1999 to snake and clean the sewer lines that have backed up as
the result of the roots, which continue to cause the problems. As you can see the costs
have exceeded $1100.
I am also enclosing a digital picture of the tree. As you can see the city has marked the
surrounding sidewalk to be replaced because the roots have continued to damage the
• sidewalk as well. The city has previously replaced these same sidewalks because of the
damaged caused by the tree roots.
Your prompt attention and consideration in this matter is appreciated.
i en c ely yours,
Levin
