front yard setback from the
original front property lines,
prior to the abandonment of a
portion of the street right -of-
way; on property located at 400,
400 -1/2, and 402 Clubhouse Avenue.
Report from the Planning Department.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, a letter from the
property owners of 402 Clubhouse Avenue
was received in support of the proposed
ordinance. In addition, a letter was
also received from the owner of 406
Clubhouse Avenue opposing any
encroachment into the existing right -of-
way on Clubhouse Avenue.
The Planning Director noted that the
property owners of 400 -1/2 Clubhouse
Avenue have requested that the City
amend Districting Map No. 3 so as to
change the front yard setbacks of the 3
lots in question, taking into
consideration the abandonment of
approximately 24 feet of right -of -way of
Clubhouse Avenue that was approved by
the City Council in 1957 and 1958. The
proposed change will allow structures to
be built to within 12.85 feet of the
bulkhead line, or 2.85 feet from the
existing 10 foot wide Clubhouse Avenue
easement on property located at 400 -1/2
and 402 Clubhouse Avenue. The approval

CDBG /HUD
regarding Amendment of the 1992 -93
(87)
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMM BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
Final Statement, Application for a
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Section 108 loan and
the Proposed "Statement of Community
Development Objectives and Proposed Use
of Funds" for the CDBG program, 1993 -94
Fiscal Year.
Report from the Planning Department.
The City Clerk advised that after the
agenda was printed, a letter was
received from Cindy Goebel in support of
the project proposed by Tustin Avenue
Partners.
The Planning Director advised that the
subject application is being presented
in two separate actions; 1) Amendment to
the 1992 -93 CDBG Final Statement,
Application for a HUD Section 108 Loan
on property located on Tustin Avenue;
and 2) Proposed Statement of Community
Development Objectives and Proposed Use
of Funds for 1993 -94.
Craig Bluell, Principal Planner,
summarized the two -part application as
enumerated in his report and answered
questions of the Council.
Council Member Sansone stated he would
like to defer action on the portion of
•
the hearing relating to the affordable
housing project proposed by Tustin
Avenue Partners, as he is opposed to
approving a $450,000 loan without
additional justification. He commented
he would like to see a financial report
with the same type of information as a
bank would require for a loan of this
magnitude.
Council Member Hart stated that she also
has some serious reservations regarding
the proposed affordable housing project,
and concurred in deferring action on
this item until additional information
is provided by the staff.
In response to question raised by Mayor
Turner, Mr. Bluell stated that the City
has a provision which is included in all
affordable housing agreements whereby if
any developer fails to perform on the
subject property, it then becomes the
property of Newport Beach.
John McCray, partner in Tustin Avenue
Partners, addressed the Council and
advised that he will provide to the
staff whatever financial information is
deemed appropriate prior to the neat
•
Council meeting.
Motion

In view of the foregoing, motion was
All Ayes

the affordable housing request of Tustin
Avenue Partners to May 10, 1993.

The following persons addressed the
Council in snonort of their request for
funding of social services:
Robin Jaruszewski, representing
Interval House Crisis Shelter for
•
battered women and children,
stated that every 15 seconds a
woman is being battered, and that
the funds they receive would be
used to help buy materials and
fixed furnishings for the
completion of the expansion of the
existing second stage shelter.
Judy Mackel, representing
Assessment and'Treatment Services
Center (ATSC), Santa Ana, stated
they are a youth counseling agency
and celebrating their 19th year of
serving the youth in five cities
of Orange County; the children
from Newport Beach are referred to
them by the Newport Beach Police
Department and Newport Mesa
Unified School District; no fee is
charged to recipient; and they
would appreciate the City funding
their organization; however, they
are not being recommended by staff
for funding this year.
Mr. Bluell stated that ATSC has been
funded twice in the past, but they are
not being recommended for funding this
year, inasmuch as they have not complied
•
with the funding reporting requirements;
their organization is classified as a
third - priority type service; and the
City is already funding the Center for
Creative Alternatives which is a similar
type program.
In response to question raised by
Council Member Watt regarding the
request of Human Options, Mr. Bluell
stated that the City funded this
organization for three consecutive
years; however, over that period of
time, they only assisted one resident
from the City of Newport Beach. During
this current year, they have not
assisted any residents of the City, and
it is the City's goal to provide
financial assistance to those social
service groups who provide direct
assistance to City residents.
In response to question raised by
Council Member Hedges relative to
auditing of the CDBG applications, Mr.
Bluell stated that staff audits all the
applications and the organizations are
monitored on an annual basis by a
consultant who does on -site visits.
•
Susan Oakson, Director of the Homeless
Issue Task Force, expressed appreciation
to the City Council for previous support
of their program and stated she was
available for questions.

PERTAINING TO USE OF BEACHES AT
NIGHT.
Recycled report from the Acting Chief of
Police, dated April 22, 1993.
Acting Chief of Police Jim Jacobs,
addressed the Council in support of his
request to close the beaches at 10 p.m.
for the reasons set forth in his report.
He stated that most of the police
related problems on the beach occur in
the late evening hours after beach
closure, and he felt the City should
keep the curfew similar to other
neighboring beach cities.
In response to question raised regarding
the feasibility of providing special
permits to City residents for after -
curfew hours on the beach, the City
Attorney stated that when there is the
involvement of public property, the City
Council cannot give special privileges
to residences of the City of Newport
Beach which cannot be given to other
members of the general public, and on
this particular issue, he cannot see a
rational basis for distinguishing
between the public and residences of
Newport Beach.
The following persons addressed the
Council in oyyosition to the proposed
10 p.m. beach closure:
Kendall Jacobson, 120 Diamond
Avenue, Balboa Island, stated that
the beach should not be "taken
away" from local residents, and
that the City of Huntington Beach
is different from Newport Beach in
that they have fire rings.
Peter Beck, 2101 Seville,
Peninsula Point, stated he has
talked with over 40 homeowners in
the area and only three were in
favor of the proposed beach
closure. He would like to be able
to enjoy a walk along the beach at
night and not be cited. He urged
that this item be continued for
additional information.

Council Member Hedges read into the
record the following prepared statement
regarding this issue:
"The telephone calls which broke the
serenity of this beautiful sunny morning
caused me once again to contemplate how
readily we as a free people seem willing
to surrender our freedoms. The calls
were in response to Newport Beach
Council Member Evelyn Hart's reported
•
misgivings of the proposed 10 p.m. beach
closing. She was quoted as not willing
'to live in fear in my city. That's no
way to live.'
"Indeed. A very small minority of the
population commits those acts which we
try to prevent. Because of our fears
(misplaced or otherwise) we enact more
and more rules to 'protect ourselves.'
Those various laws and ordinances that
we pass as we strive to regulate human
behavior all chip away at our freedom to
be free. Thomas Sowell in a recent
Register editorial on personal freedoms
related the old story about the way to
cook a frog. One should heat the water
slowly until boiling. Otherwise, the
hapless creature would surely notice the
rapid heat increase and jump for his
life. Similarly so with our own pot of
water within which we reside. It's warm
now as we continue to turn up the heat
on those 'bad guys' who are in the pot
with us.
"Many people live in fear of the
nameless, faceless, and omnipresent
bogeyman who lies in wait to destroy our
way of life and take away those things
•
which are dear. In kneejerk reaction we
respond by proposing to erect taller and
wider barriers against those who would
invade us. The 'other communities are
doing it, so we must, too' argument is
waved like a battle flag in our rush to
'protect ourselves.' But we miss

completely the point that those rules
PB &R /Beach
meant to deter others also deter us who
Curfew
desire those rules. The constitutional
right of equal protection which requires
all laws to be applied the same causes
the law - respecting citizen to suffer
most. Those who intend to commit
•
mischief will do so regardless of the
hour. We also miss the point that our
zeal to prevent the destruction of our
way of life causes us to fall victim to
accomplishing that same end by our own
collective hand. The incremental effect
of small changes means that we just
don't realize it so quickly.
"The issue of the 10 p.m. beach closing
itself is admittedly a relatively minor
one. But it is one more ratchet
downward in the tightening vise of the
loss of our freedom to be ourselves and
to enjoy our own communities."
Motion
x
In view of the foregoing, motion was
made by Council Member Hedges to table
the proposed ordinance.
Council Member Hart also expressed her
reasons for opposing the closing of the
beach at 10 p.m., indicating, in part,
how much she enjoyed the beach in the
early morning and late evening hours.
Motion
x
Mayor Turner stated he does not support
the motion to table the proposed
ordinance; the State has chosen to close
their beaches at 10 p.m., as well as
•
other beach cities taking similar
action, and he felt the City of Newport
Beach should follow suit. He therefore,
moved a substitute motion to adopt

4. Reduce the number of blue -
pole meters in the Ocean
Front and Las Arenas Beach
Lots by 108.
(B) Authorise the necessary
expenditures to implement
the above changes.
Council Member Debay referenced
recommendation No. 3 in the foregoing,
and stated it is the desire of the
residents in that area to start the
meters at 56th Street rather than 54th
Street, to which the Traffic Engineer
stated is an option. She also spoke in
support of implementing some type of
visitor parking permit program for
Seashore Drive residents similar to what
is being used on Newport Island.
Doug Boyd, 2101 E. Balboa Boulevard,
addressed the Council and spoke in favor
of charging the same meter rates as does
the State; and also suggested some type
of parking relief be provided at the
Balboa Branch library on Saturdays.
Val Skoro, owner of property at 107
Highland Avenue, addressed the Council
and concurred in the recommendation of
Council Member Debay to implement a
guest parking permit program for the
Seashore Drive area.
Bill Schonlau, President, West Newport
Beach Association, addressed the Council
and suggested that whatever fee policy
the Council ultimately approves, that
policy be consistent throughout the City
for residential as well as commercial
areas.
Council Member Hart spoke in opposition
to recommendation No. 2, stating she did
not think it would be in the best
interest of the City to extend the hours
of the meters to 8 p.m., as many people
have a tendency to forget to feed a
meter after 6 p.m.; also most tourists
leave the City by 6 p.m.; and the City
should support its businesses by keeping
the hours of operation of all meters at
6 o.m.
Motion was made by Council Member Hedges
to approve the recommendations as set
forth in the foregoing and subject
report.
Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m., to 4:00 p.m.,
May 5, 1993, for review of the 1993 -94 Budget
and possible action on two MOUs.
