WEB: WWW.DAILYPILOT.COM MOIHDAY, JULY 16, 2001 Seeking a lasting beauty •The Newport Beach City Hall is getting more and more crowded, but exactly how to cope with the problem isn't clear. M.thls Winkler DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -It's not that Councilwoman Nonna Glover opposes expanding City Hall. What she doesn't want to see, however, are trailer offices stuck here and there to make room for Newport Beach's employees. Glover said so during a City Council study session this week while discussing ways to deal with the crowding problem. •When I first came on the City Council (in 1994), we bad a beau- tiful City Hall,· she said. Then office partition walls, •which say immediately to peo- ple, 'You are not welcome here,'• started to go up, Glover added. "I'd like to go back to a beautiful City Hall. I'm absolutely opposed to mobile offices down here. Why don't we do something that's nice?" Mayor Gary Adams feels the same way. Temporary trailers, well maybe, he said, prompting Counciln;l.an Gary Proctor to jump in by saying that temporary build- ings seemed to end up as the most permanent ones. •This is a public building that needs to endure for a long time,• Adams said, adding that dty offi- dals should consult with an archi- tect to come up with a better plan. • H we need to make changes, we need to make them right.• While council members pretty much rejected Don Webb's last recommendations as the city's public works director, Webb said he was pleased city leaders want- ed to do something bigger than the temporary buildings he'd pro- posed. Touring City Hall buildings on Wednesday, the day he retired, Webb pointed out crammed con- ditions in several of them.

House and history to be debated •Costa Mesa City Council tonight again will discuss what to do with controversial Huscroft House. Jennifer Kho DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -The pnce of tu.story remains a controversy among City Coun- dl members, who will today coOSlder moving the Huscroft House into a perma- nent sPQt at Fairview Park. In December, the council unanimously approved the restoration of Huscroft House, a craftsman-style home dating back to 1912, for use as a cultural museum at the park. The move from TeWinkle Park, where the house is boarded up and st.anding on blocks, was bid at $137,707. In 1998, the city paid about $54,000 to move the donat- ed house from 2529 Santa Arul Ave. to TeWmkle Park. Since then it's been await- ing the move to Fairview Park. Tonight, the coundl will consider awarding a $174,900 contract to Alexan- der Associates to move the Huscroft House from TeWmkle Park to Fairview Park. The additional money would cover placing the structure on a foundation and making other improvements. More than a day at the beach The council will also decide whether to begin restoring the hotise. Staff bas esti- mated the cost at $47,500 to begin the pro- ject and $189,750 for the total restorations. Council members have had drasbcally different opinions on the value of the Husaoft House. ttith an eye on the water, theres a lot unexpected to see on Newports shores E xcuse me, girl with the red umbrella and sad face.

The plan includes moving the legion from its CUITent home at 15th StrMtw 18th Street, where a new legion hall would be built and given to legionnaires for free.

As you read this, I will be preparing for a two-week corporate yacht delivery from Tacoma Yacht Club in Washington, locat- ed below Seattle in the Puget Sound region, to Refuge Cove, located in Desolation Sound, Canada. The trip will be an exciting voyage through that area, visiting all the remote ports and coves where if you break down, you are on your own. At the end of the trip, I will be flying out on a floatplane back to Washing- ton for a connecting flight at SeaTac to Orange Coun- ty. In the upcoming columns when I return, I will tell you about any exciting occurrences and I will post an article about the trip on my Web site. In federal news, there are tw<l issues on the radar for the Coast Guard. One is the carbon .monoxide poi- soning occurring on house- boats and are now being traced to motor yachts, as well. The other is a federal We jacket requirement for children. Since the publicity of the deaths of the two boys swl.nmiing under the swim platform on a house- boat, Congress held a bear- ing on this subject to recall the boats in question. Recalling houseboats do not affect boats in our harbor, but as I mentioned in a pri- or column, watch out for carbon monoxi~e poisoning affecting your boot as the bearing pointed out that other vessels could be affeqed. While underway or at dock with the wind blowing over the stern of a vessel, the exhaust fumes are car- ried into the open salon door creating a hazard. Remember the problems with the station wagons drl- ving down the road with only the tailgate window down and the low pressure at the rear of the vehicle caused the exhaust fumes to enter the rear window? Do not let this odorless, col- orless gas sneak up on you or your guests. Also a blip on the radar is a mandatory requirement that all children 12 and yo~ger wear an approved personal flotation device, more commonly known as a We jacket. California already bu this law for ves- sels 26 feet and shorter unless the child is in an enclosed cabin or tethered to the vessel A questlon arose u to whether an enclosure like the electric Duffy's have around the vessel consti- tutes an enclosure for not wMrlng a life Jacket. According to Capt. Marty Mike Whtteheod THE HARBOR COLUMN Kasules of the Orange County Sheriff's Harbor Department, soft enclosures such as that do not meet the requirements due 'to the fact that the protecting cov- ers can unsnap or unzip, allowing a child to fall in the water. I think that parents should go one step furthe r a.nd require children to wear their We jackets not only on the boats, but also while on the docks as a child -could easily fall into the water. If the proposed fede ral law goes into effect, then every state will have the same We jacket laws as California. Have you noticed all the bent channel markers in the harbor, especially markers 8 at the Corona Del Mar Bend directly in front of the harbor department and 10 at the upper end of Balboa Reach off Balboa Island's point before the auto fer· ries1 Do you remember when channel martcer 8 was a floating buoy and not perched up high on a pole that most small boats can- not see at night? What do you think about the naviga- tional markers in Newport. do we need more or less? After traveling to many other harbors, it seems to me that for our size of har- bor, we bave the least navi- gational aides for visiting boaters. Also, when a vessel ls entering a harbor, it ls proper to pass the red buoys on your right side, red right returning. Wh-en one passes marker 8, it ls proper to pass it to your starboard side, but doing so will put you directly into the outbound traffic scheme. · So, I propose to either change marker 8 to a mid- channel marker or move the marker northerly by the Balboa Yacht Club moor- ings to facilitate proper traf- fic flow according to mar- itime regulations.

COSTA MESI CITY COUNCIL PREVIEW Inside CITY HILL SMALL·LOI MOUIORIUM The 0ty Council will today consider end- ing the moratorium on small·lot single-fami- ly housing developments. The council In June approved the morato- rium on new, two-story additions in all rest- dentlal areas In the city while It worked on the new housing development codes. The moratorium was extended In Decem- ber until June 4, 2002, but according to the staff report, the moratorium is no longer needed since the council on June 18 adopt- ed new codes that will go into affect July 18. WHAT 10 EXPEC't. The council is expect- ed to end the moratorium, allowing new developments that comply with the new codes. CHURCH REHEARING The Lighthouse Coastal Community Church has requested a rehearing of its . application to allow Kline School to use part of the church's parking lot as a play area. The City Council approved the request June 18, but added conditions reducing the hours the churc~y conduct outdoor non- religious activities, and a requirement that the church doesn't open a preschool uni~ it gets a separate permit for it. Church representatives want a rehearing because they believe the City Council's action violated the church's Constitutional rights, according to the staff report. WHAT lO EXPECT: The council is expect- ed to approve the rehearing and schedule it for a future date. According to the City Attorney's office, sufficient grounds exist to justify the requested rehearing because the church is -raising legal arguments that it did not bring up at the previous meeting. FAIRVIEW PARK The council will review a Parks. Recre- ation Facilities and Parkways Commission and city staff recommendation for a decora· tive retaining wall and stairway. The wall and stairway, estimated at $75,000, would be constructed at the f;airview Park entrance at the Canary Drive cul-de-sac using materials and designs to deter skateboarders. The commission also recommends that the council delete a bike route on Tanager Drive, from Golf Course Drive to Canary Dri- ve, from the master plan of bikeways. and deny another bike trail behind the Tanager Drive residences between Golf Course Drive and Canary Drive. WHAT lO EXPK't. The council is expected to approve the commi55lon recommendations. OIL noP Crty Councilwoman Linda Dixon is appeal- ing a Planning Commission decision to per- mit an oil-change business to open on the southwest comer of Bristol Street and Paularino Avenue. The property was formerly a Shell service station. Dixon said she does not believe that Oil Stop, represented by Newport Beach City . Councilman John Heffernan, is consistent with the "destination commercial" area that the council has envisioned for Bristol Street. "You have to look at the big picture," Dixon said. "We just approved an arts district and we're going to have a performing arts center on the other side. Hiiton just went through a remodeling. Holiday Inn just did a major (renovation) and I just don't envision an Oil Stop on Bristol Street. I would like to see It become a destination, like a Starbucks or commercial retail. It should be something that frts in with where the street is going.,. But Councilman Gary Monahan said he doesn't believe the Oil Stop would be incompatible with the surrounding area. "You've got four corners and two are gas stations, so what's incompatible about an oil and lube place?" he said. WHAT TO EXPECr. The council could decide to approve or deny the project. Dixon is opposed to it. Monahan seems to be in favor of it and the other council members were not available to comment on the issue by press time. -Compiled by Jennifer Kho Briefly~n THE NEWS C· IA,.cwU", IT'S TIME FOR ... f"4t'tq0°''1 " 4 Ml CASA Borders welcoming book game creator Bm1ers bookstore at South Coast Pla7.a invites kids and parents who like to re8d togeth- er to come and play The Book aub Game Tuesday at 7 p.m. Store officials S4Y the game helps open up parent-child communication and improves children's reading and com- prehension.

Heffernan, the only Greenllgbt supporter on the council, seems to be extremely concerned about preserving Newport Beach's character. But a Costa Mesa project he's involved with has some in that city wor- ried. Costa Mesa Council- woman Linda Dixon appealed a decision by planning commissioners to approve a 3,995-square-foot oil change business on Bris- tol Street. Dixon told us that her decision to try and get rid of the plan has nothing to do with He ffe rnan. She simply doesn't want to have an oil change plac~d in an area that could use it coffee shop. Or a clothing store. Or something else that's a little la1lcle nicer. Looks like Hefter-SCOOP nan, who is listed as "Trustee• for the pro)ect, wUl need to work hard to convince Dixon that the business will fit in with the character of the area. We couldn't reach him on Friday to ask him what ile·s going to do. But we'll defi- nitely let you know what happens tonight, when. Cos- ta Mesa council members wUl discuss Dixon's appeal. CITY HAU'S LATEST TOURIST DESTINATION When former Newport Beach Public Works Direc- tor and City Council hope- ful Don Webb showed us around City Hall on his last day at work to talk about space problems. we bumped into Assistant City Manager Sharon Wood in the hallway. She urged us to check out the women's restrooms in the City Attor- ney's office. Kind of an odd sugges- tion, we thought, especially since both Piloteers in attendance were of the male persuasion.

As soon as we stepped inside the forbid- den territory, we realized why Wood had pressured us to take a look. Instead of doors, the stalls have cute, colorful curtains with flowers on them. Clauson explained that the 30-year-old doors had fallen off a while ago and replacements for such antiques were nowhere to be found. That's why she and others came up with the curtain idea. There's bureaucrats thinking out- side the box for you. Oh, and by the way. Clauson did want to point out that the office's men's restroom was the larger one. But that's not because City Attorney Bob Bum- ham's particularly vam or anything. The police department used to work there years ago and we guess they had more guys than gals taking care of business. -Compiled by the Daily Pilot staff Billy Ray Cyrus · Sun.

The rodents are endearing probal?ly because they're miniature, and because they're porcelain like the palm-sized shoe they inhabit Huber, a Costa Mesa resident who works for an insurance company, got them from a Los Angeles neighbor when she was 8 years old. The neighbor had hundreds of mini shoes, was excited to see that the young Huber shared her passion and gave her 10 of them. Huber eventually started her own collec- tion, garnering the collectibles from frtends and family during birthdays and holidays, her travels and even local amusement parks. Today she bas several hundred to boast of but only about nine that are in perfectly good, "I was just so enamored wit]J these little shoes.

Rather, •we have a level of 8divity that we've never bad in the past.• he said. adding that residents come in with more requests for building permits, planning checks or other city seJVices. And "when you have people performing in job spaces that are tiny, they are not efficient,• he said. "We've gotten to the point where we need to look at something to give us more space to do a good job." Webb said he realized mobile offices on Qty Hall lawns might not have much of a chance to get council approval. But city leaders should consider at least demolishing the old, win- dowless women's jail, which is tucked behind Qty Hall on 32nd Street, and replace it with mobile offices, he said. "It already looks like a mobile unit in my opinion,• Webb said, adding that the $34,000 project could cre- ate some extra office space for now. Council members have set aside about $345,000 in the current budget to deal with the space problem at City Hall. They'll talk more about expansion alterna- tives at their next meeting, July 24.

After a superb career at Corona del Mar High (circa 1967), Martin-Sherrill became a two-sport standout at UC lrvine, where he was inducted into the Athletic Hall or Pame in 1988. An AU-CCF Southern Section water polo player and AU-American swimmer in multiple events at Cd.M, Martin-Sherrill was highly decorated in both sports at UCI.

With Martin-Sherrtll as one of the squad's best swimmers, UCI won three straight NCAA Division Il men's swimming championships, while Martin-Sherrtll earned five gold medals In each his sophomore, junior and senior years (1969·71), giving him a collegiate total of 16 gold medals in four years. After graduating from UCI in '71, Martin-Sherrill made the. U.S. Pan American water polo team. which won the gold medal at the Pan Am Games that year in Columbia.
