It is bounded on the north by Newport Crest, the south by Coast Highway, the east by Superior, and the west by the Banning Ranch, and comprising of +16 acres. Public discussion: Louise Greeley - W. Newport Legislative Alliance - They felt they were not in a position to make a recommendation until the Council made a decision on the Banning develop- ment; however, it would be extremely helpful if this Commission could go on record endorsing the desirability of CALTRANS West remaining open space. Cathy Anderson - President —West Newport Beach Assoc. - They are stating that their recommendation to the Parks; Beaches and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council is that the land remain open space as zoned currently. To- summarize,: Chairman Ammerman stated that the Commission is sending to Council -the sUb- .committee''s report with - the'following revisions: possible ways and means for acquisition and'secondly, identifying the sub - committee's members. IV. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS: Item #9 Jeff Kolin stated that every year a man and a woman is selected by the Daily Pilot to be man and woman of the year in community theatre.

Joint Session with City Council', yr MEMORANDUM' TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SUBCOMMITTEE, BRUCE 0. STUART, CHAIRPERSON RE: PRIORITY OF PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS DATE: JANUARY 19, 1982 On January 15, 1982 2 met with Commissioner Ammerman, Ron Whitley and Jeff Kolin concerning the priority of the proposed 1982/1983 Capital Improvements. The proposed priority is as follows: 1. San Miguel Park Development. This was felt to be the number one priority due to the time it has remained undeveloped but rough graded and the need for a park in this area. In addition, approximately $300,060 is available from state funding to develop the project. Projected Cost - $600,000. 2. West Newport Park (P.E. Right -of -way. It is recommended that $5,000 be allocated to review and reconsider the plans that were developed some time ago for West Newport Park in light of the proposed realignment of the Santa Ana river bridge and residents' concerns regarding utilization of the park site to'insure the best, most practical and economical usage of this site. The • intent is to put development of the park on track in accordance with its best use for the residents. 3. Entry Sians for Nawnort, Rnul t?varA _ Tr n nA %aTfPnllp Uodsc Mignway. im is important tnat not only parks are developed but that a beautification efforts be maintained. Projected cost - $20,000. Use of a citizens'. committee to raise this money should be explored. 4. Funding for the Communitv_Youth Center. Last year $150,000 was set aside for this and now a proposed additional $100,000 should be set aside with the intent to set aside the balance of $100,000 next year. These funds are for the con- struction of a new building at the site of the community youth center. The commission should recollect from the park tour that the present facility needs replacement. 5. Phase I Development of the Ne ort Theatre Arts- Center. Phase I development of the Newport Theatre Arts Center - $160,000. It is intended that the redevelopment of the Newport Theatre Arts Center be undertaken on the same basis as the Community Youth Center: three stages funded over three years. Phase I: new restrooms added on the theatre level, lobby expansion, new service entrance, new main entrance and intermission patio area, • rewiring the building to conform to code and the construction of new stairs. Phase II: increasing the rake, adding permanent risers, installing permanent, fixed seating and an air conditioning l • system and revising the lighting and sound system. Phase III: expand the backstage area, provide inside stairway to backstage and provide dressing and make up rooms. 6. Traffic Island Renovation. Renovation of the San Joaquin Hills Road between Jamboree and Santa Cruz at a cost of - $20,000. This is to repair a deficient condition in an area which is otherwise well maintained. 7. Traffic Islands on Irvine from Dover Drive to 22nd Street. The cost of this proj.ect ($11-0,000) is significant but it is felt that the traffic islands throughout the city should be gradually improved over a period of time with low maintenance improvements. 8. Traffic Island at Ba side Drive and Harbor Island Drive. Despite its low cost ( 10,000), it was not felt this was a high priority due to its lower visability to a majority of the residents. 9. Irrigation at Eastbluff Park. Although it is the understanding that the present irrigation system is defective, it is difficult to allocate the full amount of this expenditure ($200,000) without a further breakdown of the cost in man hours incurred in constantly repairing the system or without a study of the possibility of phasing in the improvements to decrease the impact on our limited budget. • You will note that the sports complex has not been included as a priority item despite the need for the sports complex in the city. It is felt that although the sports complex is important to the city, it is not a capital ,improvement item because the property has not yet been acquired. n U From our previous items you will also note the traffic islands on Coast Highway from Newport Center Drive to Poppy have not been included because the Public Works Department is already developing plans for the renovation of a portion of the islands and it was felt that it would be premature to institute any further changes until the Public Works Department generates its plans. Also the Jamboree Arterial Parkway Irrigation System deleted until it can be determined that this area is city's responsibility and not that of a local owner's -2- has .been clearly the association. ee n/� �' � I r nc pal date drown check rev r ow .

We unanimously support our position of Phase Il development of the Park and recommend to the Commission that the following • be included in your 1982 fiscal budget: - 1. Construction of a restroom facility approximately 100/200 yards westerly of Orange Street on the Pacific Coast Highway side of the former P.E.Right of Way. The restroom should be similar if not identical to the existing.restroom at 57th Street and Seashore Drive. 2. Installation of a basketball court east of Pros- pect Street. 3. installation of a basketball court west of Orange Street. 4. Grading, fencing and landscaping necessary for the safety and enhancement of items 1 through 3 above. At this time, the Board strongly opposes the inclusion of any additional metered parking lots in the Park. Don Webb graciously attended our last meeting and discussed the proposed widening of Pacific Coast Highway - including the new bridge over the Santa Ana River. As a result, our Board will • establish a special committee to study the Phase III development of priority items according to community, coastal and highway needs. 11.� Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission - cont'd February 1, 1982 r1 U We are hopeful that Roger Morin and the Commission can further guide us toward a purposeful and creative dev- opment of the West Newport Park where community needs rather than idealistic wishes and costly City maintenance prevail. Thank for your attention in this urgent West Newport issue. Most sincerely, Cathy Anderson, Pres.

The Tidelands Affairs Committee recommended that the Park Beach and Recreation Committee review this concept with input from the'Centra] Newport Beach Homeowner's Association. Currently there are two options for securing dinghy racks, The Irvine Company has some salvaged dinghy racks which would • accomodate approximately *forty small di•nghys. These racks are in:fairly good condition and would be offered to the'City at no cost. Secondly, the staff has secured a set of plans for dinghy .racks and is currently evaluating the cost to construct same, Should 'the City choose to construct racks it is hoped that this could 'be done during the 1982 -83 fiscal year as ,part,gf; the Capital .ImprQveme,ht "section of the budget.

DAVLD HARSHBAIIGER Marine Director DH:,& • r� LJ • November 25, 1981 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: SUBJECT BACKGROUND CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH MARINE DEPARTMENT TIDELANDS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE Marine Department DINGY BERTHING FOR OFF SHORE MOORINGS (SOUTH LIDO CHANNEL) The Tidelands Affairs Committee, because of citizen in -put, has requested the staff to investigate the possibility of constructing a finger float addition to; either the 15th Street and West Bay public bay pier, or the 19th Street and West Bay public bay pier for the purpose of berthing dingies used by the off shore mooring permittees. This berthing will allow off shore mooring tenants a location to berth their dingies for a period of. approximately four to twenty -four hours when they go ashore. the Newport Beach Municipal Code - Section 17.28.010 "Maintenance of Public Piers - Regulations" states: "Public piers and other harbor facilities may be maintained by the City for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, supplies and boating gear and for similar purposes. It is the policy of the City to maintain such facilities in a manner that will permit the greatest public use and avoid continuous occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof. Where necessary to achieve public use and avoid extended occupancy, congestion or blocking thereof, the City Manager is authorized and directed to post signs limiting the time during which a vessel may be docked or supplies or gear may be placed at or on any such pier or facility to' twenty (20) minutes except that a four -hour limit is imposed on.the Rhine Wharf Park, subject to the following conditions: (1) the Harbor Master shall have the authority to limit the size of vessels using said facility; (2) vessels using this facility shall be in the actual process of loading, unloading or engaged in temporary repairs; and (3) the Harbor Master may authorize an extension of the four -hour period where special circumstances dictate such an extension.' ! When a sign,is in place giving notice of such -time limits, no person shall dock a vessel at any such facility for a period of time in excess of that period, or permit any supplies or gear to rpmain on such facility for a period in excess,of that posted on the sign The above quoted Newport Beach MuniciplliCode Section has been periodically enforced by both the City and the Harbor Department with respect to the twenty minute mooring time limit. Prior to 1971, numerous dingoes were i j, -1J I Tidelands Affairs Committee November 25, 1981 Page two • allowed to tie, both to the 15th Street and 19th Street public piers for lengthy periods of time. In 1971 the street ends in the vicinity of these public piers were becoming so congested with dingies permanently berthed, that the Council placed a twenty minute time limit on tying dingies to these piers. At the same time, the Council, by ordinance, provided for the hand launching of dingier at the various street ends as an alternative and for access to the off -shore moorings. DISCUSS1oN The staff has looked at the following three alternatives for a Tidelands. Affairs Committee discussion: 1. 15th Street and West Bay Public Pier:_ The 15th Street street end is 100 feet in width. To the west of 15th Street is the American Legion City lease. Immediately to the east of 15th Street is single family residential. The 15th Street public pier is a standard pier ramp and rectangular float 24 feet in length by 20 feet in width. It is possible to construct a four foot by 20 foot finger float attached to the rectangular 15th Street float on the west side of this public pier. This would accommodate berthing for approximately 15 to 18 dingoes. The cost to construct this would be approximately 1,600 to 2;000 dollars. Attached to'this report is an aerial photograph at-one inch to • eighty feet scale showing the three alternatives, the proposed addition and the surrounding uses. 2. 19th Street and West Bay Public Pier: The public pier at 19th Street and West Bay is at the east end of the off shore mooring zone and is not as centrally located as the 15th Street public pier. 19th Street is surrounded on the west side by residential and commercial facilities. The east side of the 19th Street public pier is open} public beach extending from 19th Street to 16th Street. Both 19th Street and 15th Street public pier currently have the 20 minute tie up limit. At the present time, the 19th Street public pier is heavily used in the summer by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for their dingy and Sabot sailing lessons. Because of the amount of open space and public beach immediately to the east of the 19th Street public pier, there is available space to add a finger float for the purpose of tying dingies. Presently, the zone from 19th-Street extending east to 18th Street is a protected swimming area, by City ordinance. This area, during summer months, is bouyed by swim lines to protect swimmers from hard objects in the swimming zone. Technically, there is enough room to accommodate a four by twenty foot finger float.,on the east side of the 19th Street public pier without materially affecting • the proctected swimming zone. I� , Tidelands Affairs Committee November 25, 1981 page three • 3. Dingy Racks -Dry Land Storage: A third possiblility would be the construction of dingy racks on the old 15th Street bowling greens, immediately south and adjacent to the American Legion building. The green open space park area at 15th Street could accommodate low profile wood or steel con- structed dingy racks without incumbering very much of the 15th Street park. The dingy racks are not as convenient as an in -water dingy berthing area, however, they would offer a place that dingies could be stored for a limited period of time in fairly close proximity to the water's edge. POTENTIAL CONCERNS Should the Tidelands Affairs Committee consider a finger float at either 15th Street or 19th Street public pier,, the staff would recommend that the following concerns be addressed: 1. The 15th Street, street end is now heavily used for the launching of Hobie Cats and smaller trailerable vessels. Staff has received numerous complaints that can be summarized as conflict of use situations. In addition, the home owners immediately to the east have complained that 15th Street has become too congested. There also appears to be conflicts between fishermen that use the 15th -Street float, swimmers and bathers who use the beach and off shore mooring permittees who launch their dingies at 15th Street and leave them tied to the public pier. 2. The 19th Street public pier is currently, as mentioned above, used by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for their sailing program. The limited berthing_o'f,dingies could possible impact this program. 3. Either the 19th Street or the 15th Street zone is very limited with regards to the amount of area versus the potential demand. Staff is concerned that limited in -water dingy storage could become an enforcement problem whereby dingies will be left on a permanent basis, thus precluding dingy space for those people that would leave their dingies there for,a three or four hour period of time. 4. Mooring Permittees, in other zones of the lower harbor, fob example around Balboa Island and off the east end of the peninsula, might also petition the City Council for similar facilities in those areas, Currently, it doesn't appear practical to provide dingy storage on public piers around Balboa Island or at street ends on the peninsula. The 19th or 15th and Bay project could possibly set a precedent or impact mooring rates in other locations where no dingy berthing • is available. Tidelands Affairs Committee IJovem�er 25, 1981 page four • RECOMMENDATION If the Tideland Affairs Committee wishes to pursue any of these concepts, the staff would suggest that one of the three alternatives be presented to the affected home owner's association as well as the Parks, Beaches and Recreation (lepartrnent for their in -put. Secondly, after receipt of this in -put, and should the Tidelands Affairs Committee wish to proceed,, staff would recommend that they be directed to prepare a 'Capital Improvement . Project Request' to be submitted during the 1982 -83 budget hearings.

Traditionally, the winter session has.-been the smallest program in terms of participants and activities offered by the Department. The Division has made a concentrated effort to improve its winter program by offering additional activities With winter appeal, so far the community's reaction has been very favorable. Revenue for special activity classes so far this session is $33,942 compared to last year's winter total of $26,339. Total revenue collected to date for winter session activities is $55,029 compared to $36,059 for winter session last year. Several of the Division's staff members have developed new program ideas including Pee Wee Tennis and Round-Robin Tennis (Linda Newby); Winter League Adult Basketball (Bob Granger); Mammoth Ski Trip (Dan Iwata); and numerous new contract classes (Nancy Lerner). These new programs have helped develop increased revenue and participation for the winter session. Senior Citizens The human services program at OASIS continues to develop. Their latest achievement is the publication of a local directory listing social and human service providers. The directory will be used as a reference by volunteers reaching out to homebound elderly. Training of volunteers for the outreach program continues on the fourth Friday of each month. Outreach . program information fliers will be distributed with the City's water bills in coming months. Youth and Adult Sports The City's youth basketball program began its season with its first games on January 9. The program has 18 teams in the ,third through eighth grades. The boy's seventh and 'eighth grade teams and girl's teams are competing in a combined league with Costa Mesa teams. This allows the relatively small number of participants to play. Planning sessions have begun with the Newport - Balboa Rotary Club for this year's City -wide track meet. This year's meet is scheduled for April 3, at Newport Harbor High School. The Rotary Club not only donates $1,000 but also gets out the members to help put on the meet.' Winter league adult basketball is underway. Eighteen teams are competing with games on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights scheduled through March, Special Events The Fashion Island IOK Run was held January 17. Although smaller than the 75th Anniversary Run, over 200 runners completed the course. Several , volunteers from Newport Harbor High Key Club, Police Explorers, and UCI helped with Race Day supervision. Fashion Island has indicated that they • would like this to be an annual event held each winter. _1� (I Progress Report January 1982 • Page 2 The first Mammoth Ski Trip was January 29, 30, and 31. A full bus load departed City Hall Friday night and enjoyed two full days of skiing. The next trip is scheduled for March 19, 20 and 21. 91h � ✓� lv Jeffrey C.

Planted plugs of St. Augustine sod at the Corona del Mar Library and overseeded for temporary cover. 2. Built 16 park benches during rainy days. 3. Placed six park benches at street ends on Balboa Island. 4. Planted 26 trees in Bayside Drive Park. • 5. Landscaped planters at Corona del Mar Main Beach parking lot. 6. Replaced broken concrete sidewalk at the OASIS Center. • 7. Installed posts and chain along side the driveway at the OASIS Center to keep cars from parking on the turf. 8. Renovated two turf areas at Corona del Mar Main Beach. 9. Installed electrical conduit at Westcliff and Dover to supply electric along the flood control channel for future irrigation system. The Street Tree personnel performed the following for the month of January: 1, trimmed 710 trees 2, planted 12 new trees 3. removed 5 trees 4. completed 11 work requests 5. They completed the trimming on Balboa Island and Buffalo Hills area phase 1 and 2. We have partially implemented our new trimming method of working our trucks together and using chainsaws instead of air saws. At this time we have four units working in Eastbluff. Three of them are working together. The results we are experiencing are promising. Our main problem is we do riot #— ov Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission • Page 2 January 26, 1982 have the capability of keeping up with the brush removal. This problem forces us to shut one of the aerial units down to help clean up the brush. We will be analyzing this operation as we proceed and hope to find a solution to the brush problem. Our other unit is working in Spyglass Hills. G Jack Brooks JB:ma ID E
