The document, not updated since 1988, is a compre- hensive, detailed outline of official goals and guidelines for just about every aspect of the city: develop- ment, airport expansion, tourism, coastal access, e nvironment, arts and almost anyUling else imagin· able. For proposed developments, 1t outlines for each area in the city exactly how large a project can be and what traffic impacts it's allowed to bring. City officials have done an impressive job of comrnurucating to residents the importance of citizen input. A festival to lcick off the process of gathering public input, dubbed the "visioning process," drew hundreds more residents than officials had hoped for. The 11-member General Plan Update Committee, composed of elected officials and prominent com- munity members, has headed up the task of appointing members to the citizens' body, the General Plan Advisory Committee. Breaking all records in recent memory, the city received applications from 252 resi- dents who wanted to serve on the committee.

After four meetings on the issue, council members narrowly approved a permit system that requires a police- issued permit to park for up to 48 hours.

We changed to an earlier e an expected departure of 4:30 a.m. from the Dunes Martna attei I noticed from buoy information I was read- ing online that the seas were building, and fast. Ventura is south of Point Conception, but the Concep- tion buoy is a good indicator of how' the seas will be once you are north of Point Fer- min. The day before, theJbuoy .recorded seas of only -4 feet and no wind at noon; howev- er, predictions were to increase with an approach- ing front. The next day, w~ encounter 8-foot seas at 10· second intervals with wind gus~ up to 25 knots slowing our progress to only 10 knots. Water was going over the Aybridge, making it a wet trip. . We were glad not to be out the next day as the seas were recorded at 11 feet and wind gusts to more than 30 knots, and those conditions would have postponed the voyage. Studying a harbor before you enter tst wise decision. Those of you who have been to Ventura know that you always approach the harbor entrance from the Red Entrance Buoy.

The interesting news is that all qie garbage collected from the harbor and up the streams will be logged into a database.

LoUta H•rper DAILY PILOT The line of brake lights in the evening gives an eerie illumination to the beaten asphalt · and massive machines being used to repave a stretch df Baker Street in Costa Mesa. Major constructign on a half-mile portion Of Baker - from Fairview Road to Harbor Boulevard -will tear out that section of the street and replace 1t wtth new, more shock-friendly pavement, officials said. The $1-million project, which also includes a one-block section of Fairview from Newport Boulevard to Wilson Street, will continue for about three months, Costa Mesa Assistant City Engineer Ernesto Munoz said. "The pavement surface has outlived its use,• Munoz said. AU ·costa Mesa streets must undergo a ma1or over- haul such as this one every 20 to 50 years depending on maintenance. The more maintenance, the longer the road's tile, he said. Baker was last fixed about 10 years ago. 1Taffic on Baker is limited to one Lane edch way, and the lines of cars run the length of the block dunng rush hour. No turns were permitted off Baker for westbound traf- hc on Wednesday mommg, making 1t nearly impossible to access Logan Avenue, which runs parallel to the construction site. McClintock Way and College Drive serves as bookends to Logan and poth were blocked Wednesday morning. Margy Floyd, manager of Rockreation SpoJ1 Climbing · Center, at 1300 Logan Ave., said the construction has not affected business because the center does not rely on foot traffic. Most patrons are members or have reserva- tions, so they will find a way to get there, Floyd said. But the street improv~ ments have altered Floyd's commute. Floyd said she was forced to turn left on Harbor, then left onto Village Way, left on College Drive and finally right on Logan . Avenue. #It was a pain to get here;. she said. ~,. '-Munoz said construction should not block access to surrounding streets under normal circumstances, but temporary restrictions may occur to move machinery. Construction creates some inconvenience, but the results will imptove the traffic flow come May. In addition to resurfacing the street, construction crews will also fix portions of the curb, gutter and ramps that have been uplifted by tree roots or the soil. Most of the city's soil is day-based and expands when it gets wet. Munoz said. Costa Mesa streets take an extra beating during the rainy season because of it, officials say.

CRIME EVICTION ORDINANCE Council members today will take another look at a proposed crime eviction program that would enable the city to evict a resident if the police find out about illegal ~rug activity on the property. Councilman Chris Steel pushed for a similar ordinance in May - with the support of the Costa Mesa Police Department -that called for evicting someone after a known arrest of drug-or gang- related crimes. His council colleagues thwarted his efforts, saying they believed the law could discriminate against some people. Since then, officers and council members have met to make changes to the proposed ordinance. As proposed t~night. the law requires a conviction of a drug-related offense, not merely· an arrest, before the tenant can · be evicted. Police also dropped the gang-related crimes part of the previous proposal. Police officials reported 63 drug-related arrests, 10 of which would have resulted in a conviction under the proposed law. WHAT TO EXPECT: The Costa Mesa Police -Department recommends approval. PRIVATE PROPERTY SOllCITATION The City Council tonight will review changes to the city's code that regulates solicitation to include enforcement on private property. The existing law prohibits people from seeking employment, business or donations on public streets, but does not cover solicitors who congregate in private parking lots or in front of a business. If adopted, the new ordinance would make it illegal for people to seek employment on any property with signs specifically prohibiting it. A number of vocal residents have encouraged the council to do something about day laborers and other solicitors who hang out in front of liquor stores and storage facilities. Costa Mesa Police Capt. Tom Warnack said previously that officers cannot take action against solicitors on private prokerty unless the owners ma e a complaint. Many owners don't mind or don't want to hassle with the procedure, Warnack said. WHAT TO EXPECT: The C~ Council is expected to approve t e tentative ordinance. FYI • WHO: Costa Mesa City Council meeting •WHEN: 6:30 p.m. today • WHERE: Council Chambers at City Hall, 77 Fair Drive • INFORMATION: (714) 754- 5225 f EN WO.RSI STREETS Council members will review a list of the 10 worst residential streets.in the city and decide whether to set aside funding to i.mprove them. Two weeks ago, when the council was deciding how to spend its extra revenue, Councilman Gary Monahan asked the public service department to analyze the 10 most damaged streets in the city and present the report to the Crlc Council. Monahan also asked or information on streets that do not have continuous sidewalks down the length of -the street. The councilman referred to them as "missing link sidewalks." Accordinf to a staff report, it would cost 420,900 to fix the 10 worsts streets -the majority on the .. Westside -and an additional $175,000 for the missing sidewalks on' at least four street segments. the staff report indicates hospitals, schools, convalescent homes and senior centers would receive first priority for sidewalk reP.air, followed by public parks. WHAT TO EXPECT: The council is expected to approve the funding for both 'projects. JOANN STREET BIKE TRAIL The City Council will consider building a fence along the length of the Joann Street bike trail to protect the privacy of neighboring homes rather than deleting th~ entire trail. In May, then Councilwoman Linda Dixon asked the public · services department to consider removing the Joann Street bike trail from the city's master plan ,of bikeways because of residents' reports of problems with it. Neighbors said people hung out on the trail, threw rocks in their pools, picked their fruit and were loud. The parks and recreavon commission sent out more than 1, 500 notifications for a community workshop and only three people came. Those who were there supported the idea of a fence being built to shield their houses. WHAT TO EXPEC'n Council members are expected to keep the bike trail and approve the fence.

TUESDAY A two-section, comprehensive inter- NEWSROOM CONTINUED FROM 1 Now the final piece of that puz- zle, the church sanctuary itself, awaits. But that's going to take some time to complete and a little explaining on my part to tell you why. First. though, we have the whole debate over a tent. A combi- nation of real estate market forces and city moratoriums has delayed church Pastor Tim Celek's ability to sell his 2.9-acre Orange Avenue property, which would have helped provid~ the needed cash to build the new sanctuary. So Cele k pitched (excuse the pun) a new plan to build a tent- typa structure on the property where worship services will be held until the money ts there to build the permanent building. City staffers OK'd the idea and the plan moved forward, until last week's Planning Commission meeting. Celek was stunned when the commission denied tus plans to put up the dome-shaped tent that would match the rest of the site in tone and color, especially smce the city's staff had given him the greenlight,three times. "I just can't see how it can be good for the people of Costa Mesa to have a tent structure on New- port Boulevard," Commission er Eleanor Egan said at that meeting. Egan teamed with colleagues Bruce Garllch and Katrina Foley to send Celek back to the drawing board. OK. hold on a minute here. ls Egan talking about the same New- port Boulevard that I have driven down for 12 years?

But as they step outside to the lush fairways at Newport Beach, tournament officials will be on their hands and knees praying for the same weather we've enjoyed for the past several weeks. While Newport Beach superintendent Ron Benedict calls it a drought -he wishes we'd had more rain this winter - the event's tournament director, Je(f Purser, bas probably done enough rain dances to cause It. The three-day event, considered the most philanthropic tournament on the Senior PGA Tour, is Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with pro-ams and practice rounds earlier 1n the week. There will even be a warm and fuzzy feeling to the whole thing this week in the Toshiba Classic, the only in-season pro- fessional goU tournament in Orange County and now the middle of thtee Senior Tour stops 1n the state. Fuzzy ZOeller, viewed as part golfer, part savior for the so-called sagging senior circuit, will never win a golf townament on personality. But the most anticipated rookie on the Senior Tour this year is tees off expected to add spice to the 50-and-over circuit. .

He will ~' ' ··~ < and Chi Chi coming out, then I think. we have a real good opportunity to get back to the level ct galleries ct previous years, and obviously that's our goal.• ' /. Purser is hoping for about To SH I BA 90,000 fans for the week, the bulk ct which will come Saturday play in today's pro-am and speak Tuesday morning at the Toshiba Community Breakfast at the Newport Beach Marriott. After la5' year's event battled the threat of rain almost dally, Purser continued to plead bis case to the Senior PGA Tour, asking for a later date. The tour granted Purser his wish and pushed the Toshiba Classic back a week on the calendar, making the Newport Beach stop the second of three straight California weekends for the players on what is now the Great West Coast Swing · -beginning with the SBC Senior Classic at Valencia Country Club, which concluded Sunday. With Zoeller and the usual cast of notable seniors like Lee Thevino and Chi Chi Rodriguez, along with good weather, Purser is expeding the Toshiba Classic lo strike gold again for its lead chartty, Hoag Hospital. the beneficiary .of mo.t of the $3.7 million Bised by the tournament.in the last four years. •Even though we got the tounwnent in last year. we didn't have the best weather in the world and that kept a lot of people away," Purser said. •our gal1ertes were signlfk:antly dowrt last year compared with 1998 and '99 when we had wonderful weather. •n we'ie fortunate to get great weather this year, and with Fuzzy and Ben CrensbawandTomWat.sonandTuml<lte and Sunday. The eighth annual Toshiba Classic, long an island on the Senior Tour schedule, had company last March for the first time and it paid off with the second-strongest field on the tour last year, luring 30 or the top 31 money leaders from the previous year, the best turnout among non-major championships. The oozy, 6.584-yard layout at Newport Beach is one of the reasons why the playets have been attracted to the $1.5 million Toshiba Classic. The traditional tree-lined golf course built almost 50 years ago has been described by some players as the utopia for a seniors golf course. Even with today's economic climate, Purser expects the event to reach the $1- million maiJc in charitable giving for the third year in a row. Last year the Toshiba Cassie became the first stop on the tour to achieve the million-dollar benchmark in back-to-back years. •tt's too early to tell. but we've worked bard to put ourselves in a position to (raise another St million),• Purser said •Wlth good gate sales ... we have the opportunity to reach those goals. We're not quite there yet. but considering what's going on in the world and at home, we're pretty plea.sed where we are: The tournament has bad seven different winners in seven yean and featured three playoffs in the Jut five ·events.
