INDEX
• City Manager Murphy confirmed that the action before the City Council
would direct the City Attorney to determine the daily use limitation, staff to
draft an ordinance related to the overnight storage of the outrigger canoes,
staff to develop a plan for cooperative uses of North Star Beach and Imua to
apply for a use permit.
City Manager Murphy answered Council Member Glover's question about
the Newport Aquatic Center's request for fee waivers (also on the current
agenda) by stating that the two items are separate issues.
Ed Benson, President of Dover Shores Community Association, stated that
the main concerns of his community are the traffic problems associated with
the increased use of North Star Beach and the noise in the early morning
hours. Mn Benson feels that the Imua Outrigger Club should have to
operate under the same controls as the Newport Aquatic Center and that the
City should be aware that it could be setting precedent by approving the
Club's request. Mr. Benson suggested that, if approved, a trial period should
be established. Mr. Benson, responding to an inquiry by Council Member
Glover, stated that he feels that due to the proximity of the surrounding
residential area, controls and conditions need to be put in place for any use
of North Star Beach.
Anders Folkedal, 319 Morning Star Lane, stated that he supports the Imua
Outrigger Club's use of North Star Beach because they do not increase
• morning activity. In response to Council Member Glover's question,
Mr. Folkedal stated that he supports the recommended action before the
City Council.
Jeff Evans, 209B David Drive, member of Imua Outrigger Club, stated that
he has canoed Newport Bay for over thirty years and has participated in
canoe races all over the world. Mr. Evans feels that Newport Beach and the
community benefit by supporting outrigger canoe clubs. Mr. Evans stated
that Imua has worked with Dover Shores and the Newport Aquatic Center,
and will continue to be a good neighbor.
David Grant, 2205 Cliff Drive, President of Newport Aquatic Center,
reminded the City Council of the Newport Aquatic Center's agreement with
the City that limits the daily use to 250. Mr. Grant is not opposed to the
Imua Outrigger Club, but he is hoping that the Newport Aquatic Center's
agreement with the City is not changed. Mr. Grant concluded by stating
that he is prepared to work with the Imua Outrigger Club.
Motion by Mayor Edwards to authorize Imua to store its outrigger canoes
(and related equipment) at North Star Beach by 1) directing staff to work
with the City Attorney to determine whether the 250 daily use limitation
imposed by the NAC CUP applies to just NAC activities or to the entirety of
activities at North Star Beach; 2) within 30 days, returning to the City
Council with an ordinance that would amend. NBMC Section 17.16.021
. relating to overnight storage of vessels expressly allowing Imua to store its
outrigger canoes (and related equipment) overnight at North Star Beach
effective immediately; 3) directing staff to report back within 3 months on a
plan that would maximize cooperative uses between Imua and NAC in terms
Volume 52 - Page 146

• of parking, classes, and facilities use; and 4) upon receipt of the report,
directing Imua to apply for a use permit (which will detail Imua's
obligations, responsibilities, and term) associated with operating from North
Star Beach.
Billy Whitford, Executive Director of Newport Aquatic Center, stated that he
came up with the concept of the Newport Aquatic Center in 1982 and
stressed the importance of a long -term agreement. Mr. Whitford expressed
his pride in the Center, and his concern that the current agreement with the
City could be jeopardized. Mr. Whitford specifically cited the 250 daily use
limitation and access to the beach by the general. public. Mr. Whitford stated
that the Imua Outrigger Club needs to be monitored, so that it does not
hamper the Center's operation.
Council Member Glover stated that she feels it is important that a
compromise is found between the Newport Aquatic Center and the Imua
Outrigger Club.
Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation.
There were no public comments at this time.
PUBLIC HEARINGS

CLASSIFICATIONS, LAND USE REGULATIONS, NON-

NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS, APPEAL AND CALL FOR
REVIEW PROCEDURES, AND REMOVAL OF OBSOLETE,
REDUNDANT AND CONFLICTING LANGUAGE).
Mayor Edwards opened the public hearing.
Hearing no testimony, Mayor Edwards closed the public hearing.
Council Member Hedges stated that the City Council should retain its ability
to directly hear a matter that has been called up for review. Specifically,
Council Member Hedges requested that Section 20.95.010(B) be reinstated.
Council Member Hedges stated that this provides the option of referring a
matter to the Planning Commission or to the City Council.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to introduce Ordinance No. 98 -21 for
Amendment 874, and pass to second reading on August 24, 1998, amended to
reinstate Section 20.95.010(B) and to include language that gives the City
Council the option of reviewing a decision made by the Planning Director or
the Modifications Committee.
Assistant City Manager Wood clarified for Council Member Debay that the
• change to Section 20.95.040(C) refers to the number of votes needed to
initiate a call for review, and does not address the issue that Council
Member Hedges discussed.

• Transportation and Development Services Manager Edmonston explained
that a key difference in the traffic study done for this site is that the site
involves fewer uses. In addition, due to its proximity to nearby businesses,
the site was projected to have more walk -in traffic than the other site.
Mr. Strader confirmed for Council Member Hedges that his economic
assumptions for the site include walk -in traffic supporting the businesses.
Mr. Strader added that studies show that the current businesses at the site
get 30% to 40% of their business from walk -in traffic.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil to adopt Ordinance No. 98 -20.
Without objection, the motion carried by acclamation.
22. AMENDMENTS TO COUNCIL POLICY G -1.
Council Member Glover informed the City Council of the situation in
District 3 where there are no sidewalks and many of the trees are not
identified in the City's inventory. Council Member Glover also stated that
District 3 has a great deal of private development and renovation. Many of
the trees that are removed during the process are City trees that have not
been identified as such.
• Council Member Glover requested that staff address this issue and begin
notifying anyone pulling a demolition permit that they can not remove City
trees without a permit. Council Member. Glover further requested that staff
review the computerized inventory of trees in the area bounded by Newport
Boulevard, Coast Highway, Dover Drive and 16th Street.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil suggested that Council Member Glover's requests are
issues separate from the G -1 policy. Council Member Glover concurred and
stated that she would bring the issue back to the City Council at the next
meeting.
Yvonne Houssels, Vice - Chairman of Community Associations Alliance,
President of Harbor View Hills South Homeowners Association, stated that
she has been working with staff for over four years on a policy that will
balance the needs of preserving the views while also maintaining the
attractiveness of City parkway trees. Ms. Houssels stated that governing
documents are in place to preserve the views in many of the developments,
and that this requirement can be met while still providing for an attractive
area with an abundance of trees. Ms. Houssels concluded by stating that the
G -1 policy before the City Council should be approved as drafted.
Elaine Linhoff, 1760 E. Ocean Blvd., stated that she worked on the
formulation of the original G -1 policy, which later needed some adjustments.
Ms. Linhoff stated that she feels any changes should be done right and
• maintain consistency. Ms. Linhoff specifically believes that the current
policy before the City Council should be changed to include a requirement
that written verification be provided of any notification sent, not just a
verbal confirmation. Ms. Linhoff also believes that the current policy should
Volume 52 - Page 149
INDEX
Council Policy
G -1
(69)
City of Newport Beach
City Council Minutes

INDEX
• be changed to include the instructions on how an individual appeals a
decision of the Park, Beaches and Recreation Commission.
Tess Lier, 4709 Dorchester Road, representing Cameo Highlands and Cameo
Shores, stated that she has been involved with the revision of the G -1 policy
for a few years. Ms. Lier stated that the revised draft before the City
Council should be approved. Ms. Lier disagreed with the previous speaker
and feels that the policy provides for the City to still maintain control and
direction over the policy, with the community associations being required to
adhere to the policy.
Barry Eaton, 727 Bellis Street, President of Eastbluff Homeowners
Association, stated that the Eastbluff Homeowners Association Board is
endorsing the G -1 policy. Mr. Eaton stated that he feels the suggestion
made by Ms. Linhoff to require written verification of notifications would
result in too many appeals to the City Council.
Paul Gerst, 2028 Vista Cajon, Co- Vice - Chairman. of Community Associations
Alliance, Vice President of Bluffs Homeowners Association, thanked staff for
their treatment of the issue and requested that the City Council approve the
policy as presented.
Jan Vandersloot, member of the SPON Tree Committee, stated that he feels
the G -1 policy before the City Council is not yet complete or fair.
Mr. Vandersloot feels that appeal rights have only been given to the
• associations and disallows other groups and individuals from appealing
directly to the City Council. Mr. Vandersloot stated that the citizens of
Newport Beach own the City trees, not the associations. Mr. Vandersloot
stated that another problem with the current policy is that the tree removal
notification is not sent out early enough. Mr. Vandersloot requested that
notification be made one month prior to the item being discussed by the
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.
Council Member Glover stated that she had talked with Mr. Vandersloot
earlier in the day and, after consideration, did not agree with individuals
being able to appeal.
Irene Black, Bay Crest residence, stated that she didn't understand why this
issue was being handled by policy, rather than by resolution. Ms. Black
stated that she feels that individuals should be able to appeal the decisions,
since the citizens and taxpayers own the trees. Ms. Black was concerned
that this decision would set precedence.
Debra Allen, 1021 White Sails Way, President Harbor View Hills
Community Association, stated that the views are the essence of the area.
Ms. Allen agreed with the other association members that spoke and is in
support of the policy. Ms. Allen stated that the reforestation policy simply
means to replace one tree with another. Ms. Allen does not feel that
individuals should be able to appeal to the City Council.
• Mayor Pro Tern O'Neil stated that he and Council Member Thomson have
attended several meetings regarding the issue and knows that the feelings
are strong on both sides. Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil feels that the G -1 policy
Volume 52 - Page 150

• before the City Council is one that reaches the middle ground and
accommodates both sides' interests.
Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil stated that he is prepared to approve the policy as
recommended by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, see if it
works, and review it and change it later, if it is not working. Mayor Pro Tem
O'Neil stated that having a Commission review certain issues, with the
opportunity for appeal to the City Council, does provide for due process.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem O'Neil to adopt amendments as recommended
by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, to City Council Policy
G -1.
Without objection, the amended motion carried by acclamation.
