memo from Don Webb, our City Engineer, was read. •Mr. Webb
indicated that the 0.33 acres needed for the widening of
the Santa Ana Bridge would not significantly affect the
City's ability to develop the park. If the Commission
feels that the Caltrans taking of the land for the bridge
reconstruction does not constitute the taking of
significant local park area that they could make a
recommendation to that effect.
Motion was made that we recommend to Public Works the
approval of the - concept of the widening of the Santa Ana
Bridge. Unanimous.
Motion was made that.we earmark any funds resulting from
the'-sale of property for the widening•of the bridge to be
applied to the development of West Newport Park. Motion
passes.
Item #7
Ron Whitley stated,that the City Tidelands Committee has
been searching for a location for the dinghy racks for
some time now.'. The proposed location for the racks is
along the fence in the turf area adjacent to the American
Legion. The Marine Department -would administer the .
program.. After several local residents spoke, the
consensus was that they are opposed to the dinghy rack
storage at 15th Street. They would cause a traffic
nuisance, subject to theft, vandalism, and-breakage. The
Central Newport Beach Community Association is also
opposed.
Motion was made that we allow no dinghy storage in the 1
Street park area. Unanimous.
Item #8
City Council is requesting the Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission to make a recommendation as.to the
exact amount of park credits to be granted to the Irvine
Company in return for the dedication of the Mouth of Big
Canyon. The Commission had, on May 5, 1981, recommended
that the City accept the dedication but urged City Council
to reduce the amount of park credits below that initially
requested by the Irvine Company.

After some discussion concerning the potential uses of•the
area the following motion was passed.

Motion was made that although the Irvine Company should be

granted some credit for the dedication of the.Mouth, of Big
ayes

Canyon the Commission is unable to determine the amount-of

such credit without further information; and, therefore,
direct staff to communicate to City Council our request
for further infomration,so that we can consider the matter
completely at'our April 6, meeting. Motion passes.
The feeling of the Commission is that credit less than the
12.5, acres (as recommended by the Irvine Company)• would be
appropriate, but without information concerning the exact
amount of dwelling.units'presently allowed on the Irvine
Company!s property under the existing general plan and
zoning ordinances, it is impossible to determine the
l
effect any credits given would have on parks in the area
i.J
not yet developed by the Irvine Company. This matter will
be reconsidered at the-next Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission meeting.
Item #9
Concept for
Olympic
Ron Whitley stated that this was briefly presented to the
Aquatics
City Council and their recommendation was that this
Center for
Commission review the concept. The property is co -owned
North Star
by the City and County. In meetings with the Dover Shores
Beach
Community Association they stated that they do approve of
this concept. Bill Whitford, President of the Newport
Beach Olympic Aquatic Center was present. He stated that
this is a hon- profit organization formed solely to
construct, operate, and promote the proposed Newport Beach
Olympic Aquatic Center. Some of the major concerns of
the Center are:
facility —boat storage
male /fehale locker rooms
multi - purpose room
parking
live -on security
