City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92663 Gentlemen: The. undersigned, on behalf of the Balboa Improvement Association, has been requested to correspond with you con- cerning a proposed tournament location for volleyball courts • between "B" and "C" Streets in Balboa. It is the concensus of the Balboa Improvement Association that a permanent tournament location in this area would be unadvisable because of possible effects on traffic and parking during the summer months. We are, therefore, requesting that this location not be adopted. It would seem that a more logical location would be in the Newport Pier area. If you require further information, please contact the undersigned. „ JCP /lg • ti 1EP231982 City oPvewpen Beach Dept.

During the process, the authorizing resolution has been re- viewed'with regard to its current capability to satisfy the needs of volleyball enthusiasts and protecting the rights of other beach users and those residing in close proximity to the beach areas. A public hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 5, 1982, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 3300 Newport Boulevard. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission will review an updated resolution and make • recommendations to the City Council for the adoption of rules and regulations on volleyball locations, tournament sites and methods of uses. 7J If there are any questions regarding this procedure or related information is needed, please feel free to call the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department at (714) 640 -2271. 3300 Newport Boulevard, Newport Beach 13 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commi -ssi-on DATE: September 21, 1982 TO: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission FROM: Street Tree Committee SUBJECT: Street Tree Trimming Schedule As requested by the City Council, the Parks, Beaches &Recreation Commission Committee on street trees has met and reviewed several reports regarding tree trimming procedures. Copies of these reports are attached for information purposes. As a result of this review and meeting with staff, the following are recommended: 1. Every effort should be made to develop a trimming schedule that will assure that trees are not trimmed during their blooming or flowering period. • 2. Tree species will be identified that can go longer than the normal trimming cycle of two years and scheduled accordingly. 3. Positive efforts will be made to trim in areas that are causing view problems to eliminate this concern. Overall, the committee is extremely pleased with the-results of our tree trimming practices that have been improved in the past two years. With the implementation of these recommendations, the committee feels an additional improvement will occur to make this operation an outstanding service to residents. Stan Cole, Chairman Robert Hopkins �J EE I/4 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches: &Recreation Department DATE: September 21, 1982 TO: Ronald A. Whitley Parks Beaches & Recreation Department FROM: Park Superintendent, SUBJECT: Tree Trimming Report The recommended trimming cycle was based on the tree characteristics only. Other factors that should be considered are view problems, lot size, etc. The Street Tree - Division is now capable of trimming all the trees in a two year cycle without help from a contractor. We have, for two months, kept track of our tree trimming cost. This cost is an average cost and is well representative to our true cost as we have trimmed small, medium and large trees. Our cost for two months is $28.89 per tree. If this cost holds in future months, we should trim our own trees and hire a contractor for root pruning • on a yearly basis. Tree planting and removal should also be considered for contracting. The trimming schedule should be on a rotation basis if it takes 2, years. If trimming is completed in a shorter time, view areas should be considered for a more frequent trimming and possibly the Eucs. and Corals should be trimmed more often for safety. Trimming on the Peninsula and, parts of Corona del Mar should be done only in the fall and winter due to traffic problems. With all the factors involved in our tree trimming, the schedule should be fluid, giving staff the flexibility of setting priority in safety, flowering, views, and congestion. The Eucs. on Sandcastle is an area where we may be able to satisfy both sides of trimming more frequently, thus preserving the trees and the views.

N 11 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches Z Recreation Department DATE: August 3, 1982• TO: Robert L. Wynn, City Manager FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT :Tree Trimming Progress Report STUDY SESSION NO. '7 For'many years.our tree trimming procedures were to work four separate crews in four different locations. The crews were 2 man operations, one trimmer and one groundperson operating the brusher and clean -up. For efficiency pur- poses, we trimmed in a grid pattern which means an area was started and com- pleted with no loss of travel and set -up time. During the 1970's a high rate of residential development ocurred in the City and many street trees were planted. A vigorous street tree planting program was also encouraged in the older parts of the City during this period of time. During this residential growth period and'a natural factor of having the trees growing larger in the decade of the 70's presented this Department with a work problem. As no new staff had been authorized during this period we were faced with a situation of having a three year or longer time span betweem trimmings. The community response to this schedule indicated a need to improve. • During the 1981 -82 fiscal year our budget was increased by $40,000 to provide assistance for tree trimming by private independent contract. This contract was awarded to Allied Tree Company, a well known large tree firm. In addition to this added resource, we studied their operation and developed an efficiency program based on their techniques to improve the capabilities of our staff. By combining our crews we are able to trim with fewer traffic problems, better supervision, fewer areas to clean up and have created a friendly competition amoung our tree trimmers. . In developing a schedule to implement this new method of operation it was necessary to have our area crews finish a location and then be combined. In order to achieve the bringing together of the crews, it was necessary to dou- ble back to some areas sooner than normal. However, everything has now evened out and we are now on a two year cycle for trimming. This is satisfactory to the property owner and extremely good for the health of the tree. By-increasing our production (30%) we are also able to trim our trees located in parks as we reach an area. In the past, we only trimmed park trees when problems were identified. Our park trees are now getting much better care than in the past. As we have developed our new procedures, trimming of the tree foliage is only the first step in our new operation. We long have been faced with extensive damage to side walks, curbs and gutters and in many cases damage to private •property. All of this damage has been identified as resulting from the street tree root growth. Our second step will be to develop a preventative root prun- ing program that will decrease the costly concrete repair and liability. Tree Trimming Progress Report - Page 2 • The more frequent trimming of the trees is very important in addressing this problem for the following reasons: 1. Tree foliage and tree roots have a balancing of each other as the roots take in nutrients and water necessary for producing food for the tree. The food is manufactured by the foliage of the tree and distributed to various parts of the plant as needed to maintain life and produce new growth which would include the new growth of roots. In essence, the trimming of the tree is like putting it on a diet. 0 2. We need to implement a preventitive root prunning program. In order to root prune, the foliage should not be heavy and the tree should be laced out to allow air to flow through it. 3. When the roots are cut, the tree can not take in a much water and nutrients as may be needed. Therefore, the foliage of the tree should be reduced to compensate for the loss of roots. It has been satisfying to get our tree operation into this work situation. We can look forward to trimming on a two year cycle, which is desirable by the property owner, and work aggresively toward eliminating root problems that have caused major problems during the past.

Beaches & Recreation Director SUBJECT: Trees in Right -of -Way at 2420 Cliff Drive The property owner at 2500 Cliff Drive has complained that a newly landscaped residence at 2420 Cliff Drive has created a situation that impairs their view.of the Bay. The three Eucalyptus trees are planted in a 12' right -of -way that technically gives the City control over the situation. Our existing ordinance om the matter, however, does not address view problems (attached). • If you could drive by. and take a look at this situation, it would be appreciated. The Park staff looks forward to being provided direction on this matter from the Commission. 4a 44. Ronald A.

Registration for classes is going strong, particularly for beginning courses. Plans are being finalized to add Lido classes to our sailing program. Golden West College will be letting us use their boats during non -class hours. This will help fill a gap created by the loss of Shields classes. Orange Coast College has notified us that they will be using all of their Shields next summer. Special Events A series of special events is coming up in late September and in October. Opening night for "Camelot" is October 1. Tickets go on sale September 27. It promises to be a very well done production.

It may be that we are beginning to experience the same slow down the rest of the economy is experiencing. "B" session five week classes will begin in November, and then a Holiday break for Christmas and -New Year's. Senior Citizens OASIS Center is traveling with close to 90 seniors leaving on.a group tour to Europe this month. It should•be quite an adventure!

If you have a chance, stop by and look at OASIS Center. The facility has been beautified through the combined'efforts of the Friends of OASIS,and� • the Parks Division. The patio area features colorful flowers in hanging baskets and now patio furniture. 4�q -2- Tennis • The tennis program continues to rebound from its decline in recent years. Both participation and revenues showed significant increases over last year. Pee Wee classes and the Round Robin Tennis Tournaments are popular additions to the program. Tennis courts at Las Arenas and West Newport Parks are being resurfaced. Two courts at Las Arenas and four courts at West Newport will have the old surfaces removed and new coatings applied. This will last approximately 3 to 4 years. Youth and Adult Sports Registration for Fall Flag Football is continuing through this month. Teams are practicing at six sites throughout the City. League games are scheduled to begin the week of October 9. Soccer continues to compete with Flag Football for participants and is making it harder to field teams in all divisions each year.

Softball registration has increased and basket- ball has fallen off slightly.
