The subject property is that parcel owned by the State
Department of Transportation. 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.

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.

TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: PARK DEVELOPMENT - NORTH FORD AREA
RECOMMENDATION:
Request the City Council to direct staff to actively pursue
a development agreement to allow park development of six
acres on the parcel identified as "Site A" in the North Ford
area. Land used for subject development to be applied to
the park dedication requirements for the Irvine Company's
proposed'development -of North Ford. Acreage difference to
be established by park credit or City purchase as determined
by formula application of approved density.
DISCUSSION:
By acquiring a development agreement our much needed active park can
be expedited. In addition, as it is planned to have the facility night
lighted, it is desirable to build the park prior to home construction.
The need and justification for the facility is provided in the attached
report entitled "Active Recreation Facility ".

Dear Ron Whitley and Commissioners:
The West Newport Beach Association reviewed its position
on future development of the West Newport' Park at our meeting
of January 26, 1982.
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.

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,

SUBJECT: DINGHY RACKS: 15TH STREET PARK
The Tidelands Affai•rs,Committee reviewed the attached report
dated November 25, 1981 and requested that the staff pursue
the placement of dinghy storage /racks in the 15th Street Park
adjacent to the American Legion.
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.
It is the %cUrrent, thinking'thatl the reg6lation of and mi -nimal

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

• 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

• 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.

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.

�j RECREATION DIVISION
PROGRESS REPORT - JANUARY 1982
The winter session began smoothly on January 4. 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.
