He also stated it is essential the 50 -50 split of the premium continue as in the past. Discussion ensued concerning insurance alternatives and Chair 'Wolfe suggested either extra insurance be provided or that Oasis ask for more money to hire a driver who is under 65'years with a Class 2 license. Dr. McCann stated that they will meet with the Commission when they receive the insurance figures, at which time their options can also be reviewed. Dr. McCann next addressed Capital,Improvement Projects. He stated their top priority is the construction and develop- ment of an arts and crafts workshop due to overcrowded conditions. 'They received a preliminary cost estimate of $133,000 and plan to get another one. Mr. Whitley noted • that this will have to go through the public bid process. The 1500 Square foot building would be located at the north wing'as an extension towards the gardens. Dr. McCann feels they will need a cost sharing or trade off formula for the building, In addition, there is $20,000 budgeted in 'Fiscal Year 1987 -88 for a Needs Assessment for Seniors which they would like transferred to Capital Improvements for the arts and crafts workshop. Discussion followed concerning funding.for the project. Possibilities are 50 -50 with the City or,having the City pay for it through the budget process. If the City funds it, Oasis would purchase the specialized equipment. Mr. Whitley reviewed the budget process with the Friends and explained the need for them to inform the Commission by November of their Capital Improvement priorities. Dr. McCann next addressed the Long Range Planning /Oasis Master Plan. Dr. McCann questioned the 1.06 acres of park land dedicated to the City and Mr. Whitley clarified that this has been assigned to the Center for planning and development purposes. The sloped lot adjacent to the land is the property of the City, however, the homeowners may want to buy it and assume liability and responsibility. Although erosion is a problem on this slope, the engineers have assured that there will be no problems with,potential • liability. Dr. McCann expressed his appreciation for the excellent support staff has given and also appreciation for the 3 Commission's interest in Oasis.

ACTION ITEMS Item #5 - Little Corona Study Little Corona Study Motion x Chair Wolfe reviewed the beach erosion at Little Corona Seconded x and referred to the subsequent study done by Moffat and Ayes x x x x x Nichols Engineers which was included in the agenda packet. Commissioner Taft said he felt this is an accurate report and he agrees with the Engineers' recommendations. He does not, however, feel the cobbles constitute the problems they have in the past. Drainage has created the major problems due to the reeds and undergrowth which should be cut back. Commissioner Taft referred to four specific paragraphs of the Final Report and emphasized that the prime objective should be to enlarge the sandy area of the beach. Ron Whitley advised the Commission to,continue to review the • Study and visit the site again. .A Public Hearing could then be established at which time the Public Works Depart- ment and the Consultant would be represented. Should there be any questions, the Commissioners may call John Wolter at 644 -3311, who is the Public Works staff member who worked with the consulting firm. Commissioner Brenner expressed,her concern over the "nuisance water" which presents a potential health hazard. She recommended this area be better displayed in order to caution the public. Commissioner Taft moved the Commission set a Public Hearing for Little Corona Beach at their next Commission meeting on September 2. Seconded by'Brenner. Unanimous. IV.

He asked that this letter be drafted within thirty days for the Commission's review. Chair Wolfe also suggested developing a public relations awareness program introducing the Chairs of the committees. He recommended-the committee chairs actively solicit opinions and make the community aware.of the Commission and its responsibilities through the community's many organizations and associations., Commissioner Brenner recommended Public Relations be combined with another committee or create an Ad Hoc Committee.

A preliminary plan is being prepared to resubmit to the Coastal"Commiss.ion. For safety purposes, the parking spaces will be located in the section that is one -way traffic to Orange Street. The sidewalk will be eliminated and will become a meandering walkway through the park. Concerning 38th Street Park, Mr. Whitley indicated that this will go to bid'within the year. The sign program is moving along smoothly and the intent is to install one sign per month until completion. Commissioner Brenner suggested the new signs receive some publicity. Item #15 - Vehicular Access Restriction for Bayside Drive Ron Whitley reviewed the Bayside Drive Park issue and ex- plained that the Resolution was pulled from Council's agenda since the area was hot originally dedicated for park purposes. It was agreed to leave as is since it has been this way for ten years.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 8:45 P.M. Dottie Flohr, Secretary 0 Item No. 6 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: August 25, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Encroachment Request - 3713 Ocean Boulevard The attached Encroachment Permit request and plan is for improvement in the public right -of -way on Ocean Boulevard. I encourage all Commissioners to visit the site and review the plan as it relates to the proposed residential property at 3713 Ocean Boulevard and the surrounding area. The now vacant lot will be residentially developed and a driveway access is required by law. Other than this requirement, improvements on the pub-lic right -of -way are administered by the encroachment permit process. Of concern is the public blacktop pathway from Inspiration Point to Poppy Avenue. The pathway as it now is provided is not an easy con- tinuous path due to driveways and landscape development.

App cant's Signature ate DEPAR MENT APP OVAL REQUIRED DATE SIGNATURE - TITLE EXPIRATION DATE OF PERMIT: PERMIT ISSUED BY: DATE ISSUED: WHITE - PERMIT PINK - TEMPORARY OFFICE COPY YELLOW - APPLICANT PROJECT: 3713 Ocean Blvd., Corona del Mar • SUBJECT: Encroachment into City R.O.W. This project's encroachments into the City's right- of -way are justified for several reasons. A11 of the existing residences on the three lots to the north and south have encroached to within 2 feet of the front property line. These encroachments were due to un- usual site conditions similar to those encountered on this property, thus the City Planning Commission, recognizing these circumstances, recently approved a 6 inch frontyard setback for this property. Another unusual condition lending support to the en- croachments indicated is the exceedingly wide (48 feet from curbface to property line) right -of -way along this,side bf'Ocaan Blvd. The reduced front setback and wide right -of -way have 4� precipitated relatively extensive development on most iil "tt of the adjacent properties and certainly justify the courtyard, S walkway and stairs indicated on the site plan.for this project. The development proposed is the minimum necessary to compliment the large custom home it will serve and is on a smaller scale than existing encroachments on the three adjacent properties • to the north, all of which appear to have been recent- ly constructed. The encroachment of the exterior stairway along the south property line into the right -of -way, and the fact that the front courtyard is recessed three feet below existing grade are a result of the City's height re- striction for this site. The roof line must not exceed the top of curb elevation. Only the garage was per- mitted to extend above this height due to the driveway. profile This project is the only one out of the seven properties on the west side of Ocean Blvd. which the City has required to comply with this height limit. The other housas•werb. :built-�before the height limit was established. Another issue concerning the City and affected neigh- bors is the selection and maintenance of plant material within the right -of -way. The owners are prepared to cooperate fully with the City and their neighbors re- garding this element of the encroachment. is i2 Item No. 7 DRAFT The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission has adopted as its:primary goal the challenge of being responsive to the needs of the community. In order to meet this challenge, the Commission's seven members have formed subcommittees which focus on specific service areas and interests. These interests closely relate to each Commissioner's professional and private endeavors which include private industry, development, education and community volunteer work. It has come to our attention that many residents are unaware that the Commission is a resource for addressing many neighborhood concerns which affect the unique quality of life in our City. The Commission has formed subcommittees on Street Tree Maintenance /Removal, Recreation Programs, Oceanfront and Beaches, Capital Improvements and Budget. The objective of each committee is to review specific issues with City staff and determine alternatives for improving services, maintaining facilities and conserving parks and recreation resources for all residents to enjoy. In most cases, the subcommittees meet individually with City staff and residents to gain a clear understanding of an issue or specific concern. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission holds regular public meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. All meetings begin at 7:00 P.M. in the City Council Chambers located at 3300 Newport Boulevard. The Commission encourages public participation at these meetings. The purpose of this communication is to solicit input from community associations and groups as a. process for park development and refurbishmentlof existing facilities which is considered by the Commission in December and January. If there are projects think are worth.v of consideration Recreation Department at 644 -3151. ease contact the Parks, Beaches and Sincerely, Sterling Wolfe, Jr. Chairman 0 • • CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: August 25, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Director SUBJECT: Lincoln School Grant Application Recommendation Approve in concept proposed site, athletic School as described on the attachment. In report and resolution to the City Council fund the improvements under the California Background Item No. 8 field and interior improvements to Lincoln addition, authorize staff to transmit a as required to file a grant application to Park and Recreational Facilities Act of 1984. In June, 1984, California voters enacted the California Park and Recreation Facilities Act in order to provide funds for developing public recreational facilities. The program funded improvements for three years, 1985/86 - 1987/88. A total of $11,970,500 is set aside for Region 8, which includes Orange County. Following the initiation of City operation at Lincoln School, it became evident that successful programming depended on large scale improvements. Despite the additions of over twelve acres of turf, blacktop, a gymnasium and locker facilities, the 26 year old facility was deteriorating and its design did not promote overall utility. The infrastructure, including field lighting, the irrigation system and game courts are in a constant state of disrepair and City efforts to correct deficiencies are:. frustrated by continuing problems. As a result, a series of improvements were developed, prioritized and reviewed by staff and principal users of Lincoln facilities, including youth sports organizations. The improvements have been refined into a project proposal which will be included in the grant application to the State Department of Parks and Recreation. Following Commission consideration, the Newport -Mesa Unified School District Board will receive a review of the project at their meeting of September 3 and City Council consideration is scheduled for September 22. 13 rjvdw Ronal A. Whitley Item No. 9 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: August 25, 1986 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Review of Special Interest Seminars and Professional Services Background As a means of identifying new interests and increasing participation, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department is continually expanding special interest program areas listed as "Special Topics" in.each seasonal brochure. In addition to the traditional recreation programs such as dance instruction, fitness and visual arts, special topics have included self- improvement and financial planning classes for individuals, retirees and families taught by hobbists and certified instructors. In addition to seasonal special topics, services and programs offered at the Oasis Senior Center include financial, government, medical and legal areas. Such services and programs are provided by retired volunteer professionals, current professionals and contract instructors. •Recently concerns have been raised regarding the City's potential liability in special topics areas, potential and actual misrepresentation, and whether or not such programs are appropriate for inclusion within a seasonal recreation program or as part of a multi - purpose senior center. If such programs are deemed appropriate, the Department must determine the terms and conditions by which these programs may be provided in order to protect the participant, the City and the contractor. Inasmuch as these issues are not easily resolved and overlap the responsibilities of City Departments, advisory.groups and participants, it is recommended that staff pursue further study. Review and comment of these issues will be requested of the City Attorney, Safety and Insurance Administrator,Friends of Oasis and surrounding cities which provide similar programs in seasonal brochures or municipal senior centers. As a means of allowing staff the necessary time to gather and analyze data and develop recommendations, it is proposed that a special meeting of the Recreation Programs Subcommittee be scheduled for mid - October which will allow a review,process prior to presentation of staff recommendations at the Commission meeting of November 4, 1986. An additional and most important consideration by which these issues will be examined are the relevant City Council Policies pertaining to recreation activities and senior center operation. Attached are copies of those policies for your review. Also attached are descriptions of the activities and services which will be subject to the study. Mark Deven c I -6 11/27/78 INSTRUCTIONAL RECREATION ACTIVITIES The instructional recreational programs for children and adults provided by the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Department will be conducted on the basis of being at least self- supporting.

Whitley CONFERENCE - HIGHLIGHTS As indicated in the program section of this announce- ment, the Conference com- bines education with policy ftevelopment. All of the oaference sessions are de- signed-to-be- instructive and practical, and a number of them serve to develop and confirm the official policies which will guide the League as it represents cities' inter- ests in the year ahead. The several general sessions will serve as focal points for the conference theme Celebrat- ing California Cities. In keeping with this theme, the city of Los Angeles is mak- ing arrangements for several "Theme Receptions" for Conference delegates which will celebrate some of the interesting and diverse re- sources and features of the city. These events promise to be among the highlights of the conference. Please refer to the detailed outline on pages 5 -7 of this announcement for a sched- ule of all the topics which will be covered. All Confer- ence program sessions will e held in the Los Angeles onvention Center, located at Figueroa and 12th Streets. A shuttle bus system will operate throughout the Con- ference between the hotels and the Center (approximately 8 blocks). Ample parking is available at the Center for those commuting. WHO SHOULD ATTEND ABOUT THE LEAGUE The League of California Cities is the cities' own organization, established to provide the means by which they can work together to represent their common interests and those of their citizens. City officials them- selves determine League policies and programs, assuring that its diverse array of services are those which best meet the needs of cities. Among the League services are legislative advocacy on behalf of cities both in Sacramento and Washington; educational programs on subjects of concern to city officials; research and infor- mation exchange to help officials perform their duties more effectively, and legal assistance to city attorneys in guiding their agencies in the intricacies of the law. These services are available to all city officials, elected or appointed, by simply contacting the League. Of course, officials are encour- aged to actively participate in League affairs, for the League is only as strong and effective as city officials, by their involvement, make it. This spirit of cooperation and mutual strength is cap- tured in the League motto, "California Cities Work Together." The Annual Conference is the highlight of the year for cities, bringing together offi- cials from throughout the state to learn, discuss and debate the issues of greatest importance to local govern- ment. Mayors, council members, commissioners and staff in all municipal functions will find that the Conference offers a unique opportunity to keep current on many matters affecting cities, and very importantly, to make and renew profes- sional contacts which can be so vital in efficiently Iftonclucting the public's busi- ess. The Conference affords valuable educational oppor- tunities, both formally and �q informally. g�/p PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE OVERVIEW Sunday, October 19 11:00 a.m. Conference Registration Opens —L.A.

It provides cities vfith an opportunity to focus attention on home;ule and prepare a positive program to strengthen cities, the level of government closest and most responsive to the public. Therefore, each city is urged to have at least one official attend the Conference as its voting delegate and partici- pate in the policy develop- ment process to assure that the policies and programs the League pursues are re- sponsive to and have the full support of all cities. Resolutions may be origi- nated by city officials, cities, regional divisions, functional departments, policy commit- tees, Board of Directors or petition at the Conference. So that all city officials will have full opportunity to con- sider resolutions in advance of the Annual Conference, resolutions must be submit- ted to the League at least 45 days prior to the Annual Conference. Resolutions to be considered at the 1986 Annual Conference must be received by the Sacramento office of the League not later than Friday, September 5, 1986. For those issues which de- velop after the normal 45 day deadline, a resolution may be introduced as a petition signed by 44 designated vot- ing delegates and presented to the President of the League not later than 24 hours prior to the time set for convening the Annual Business Session.

Attention: Ronald A. Whitley, Director. Dear Mr. Whitley: -- I will be oui, of town September 2, 1968 and thus unable to attend the meeting re the future of Little Corona Beach. However, I would like to discuss with you one aspect of the consultant's report which you so kindly sent me. I take issue with the conclusion that the beach has "not experienced a significant long -term net position change in the last 100 years." That s ment suffers from ious flaw. It is incorrect, Hor'zontally this is so. Vertically it is not. We once had a (thick beach, now we have a thin beach. While this change may not be rvable from ma s R-LT__a'erial photographs it is clearly observable to old time beach goers. I am fairly familiar with this beacn having first seen it in the 1920's and having been a regular user since the mid - thirties. During that period the beach advanced and retreated on a seasonal basis but during the last ten to fifteen years it has suffered a substantial full time loss of sand. Since the construction of the so- called control structure rocks which were covered at all times except during winter storms • are nor, uncovered to the/ 'extent of several feet at all times. We once had a high berm, now we have a low berm. I would estimate we have lost at least half our sand. I will be glad to point out the difference in the two beaches at any time. Aduitionally,. the rock bottom at the shoreline which now follows heavy surf simply didn't show from the twenties to the seventies. To repeat, our sand was several feet thicker' than it is now although from the air it is true that the same distance exists between the water line and the bluff. I do not have the expertese to explain the loss although my personal villain has always been the con trol structure which interf erred with natures oeach replenishment scheme. Be that as it may, we have lost sand on a full time basis. I have no suggestion as to how or even whether that sand should be replaced. As indicated I will be glad to point out the sand loss at any time. S'grely , R t Gardn er 11 4 � 0 01 September 2, 1986 TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Public Works Department and Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department SUBJECT: Little Corona Beach -- Recommended Plan of Action RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Continue to perform bi- monthly surveys through September 1987. Work to be done by City forces. 2. Remove loose rock from the beach in front of the bottom control structure. 3.

Little Corona Beach (LCB) has been a near - stable beach in the past 50 years and will likely remain so barring a large increase in storm wave occurrences. The beach sand resource can be managed at present without a beach replenishment project or the construction of "hard" structures to retain the sand. The Buck Gully control structure is meeting its design objectives and has not had a significant adverse effect on the sand resource of LCB. Several things could be done to enhance the recreational aspects of'LCB: (1) 'remove cobbles near the shoreline, (2) reduce the active width of the spillway on the bottom control structure, and (3) reduce the area of rock exposed on the bottom control structure. Objectives. In November 1985 the City of Newport Beach initiated a contract with Moffatt & Nichol, Engineers of Long Beach to investigate LCB. The investigation had five objectives: (1) to document changes that had occurred in the shoreline of the sandy beach in the recent past, (2) to establish the causes of the shoreline changes, (3) to provide conceptual solutions to the shore retreat problem, if one exists, (4) to determine the net effects, if any, the Buck Gully bottom control structure has on beach behavior, and (5) to provide alternatives or modifications to the bottom control structure while maintaining its design objectives to. control headcutting and toe erosion at the outlet of Buck Gully. Shoreline Behavior and Coastal Processes. Little Corona Beach (LCB) is a 1200 -ft long, south - facing pocket beach located in Corona Del Mar, California. About one -half its length is sandy; the remainder is bedrock and cobbles. It is backed by erodable, 40 to 80 -ft high bluffs that are most resistant at the headlands. The sandy beach is widest at the outlet of Buck Gully, a high - gradient ephemeral stream with a 2 mi2 watershed. With one exception, the region offshore of LCB is rocky with mostly shore - normal topographic lineations having an average bedrock height above the surrounding bottom of 4 to 6 ft. The notable exception • is a sloping 200 to 300 -ft wide flat- bottomed depression that trends 1 �.1 20 I • south into deep water off the outlet of Buck Gully. This depression, which is filled with sand, plays a major role in the behavior of sand at LCB. Net (irreversable) changes in the position of the shoreline in the past 50 years were not discernable when three sources of information were analyzed. Shoreline change maps constructed by the National Ocean Service (NOAA) from historic charts dating from 1875 to 1982 showed long -term changes in beach width were within a ±40 -ft envelope. Vertical aerial photographs taken between 1937 and 1984 showed the position of the shoreline was remarkably unchanging in that period, even after severe wave storms, and after high flows in Buck Gully. Discussions with City staff, especially those in the Marine Department who have manned or supervised the life guard station at LCB, and'with residents who have visited LCB over a long time period, also indicate LCB has been generally stable. The beach narrows during periods of high- energy south swell. This is also a time when rip currents are in evidence in the sand chute. During periods of lower wave activity the beach widens. A near - constant sand volume is naturally contained and maintained above and below mean lower low water (MLLW) at LCB. The volume of sand that enters the system from Buck Gully and as a result of bluff erosion appears to be equal to the volume that leaves the system through the sand depression or chute. Sand does not appear to enter or leave LCB around either the Poppy Avenue or Arch Rock headlands. The balance of sand reaching the beach above MLLW, and the equal loss in a seaward direction, appears to be maintained as a result of a critical shore - normal sand slope from the beach at the outlet of Buck Gully down the sand chute to deep water (about -35 ft). An addition of sand at the landward end either widens or increases the elevation of the beach. A return to a slope in dynamic equilibrium with waves and currents requires the input sand volume be released down the chute. Need for Beach Replenishment. The LCB sand resource appears to be in good shape. Events external to the LCB system, such as a reduction in 2 . Bottom Control Structure. The bottom control structure was designed to reduce headcutting upstream of the outlet of Buck Gully, and to eliminate toe erosion of the bluffs at the outlet caused by streamflow. Both of these design objectives have been met. The control structure appears to have not had a long -term effect on the width or volume of sand on the beach. Since its construction around 1970, about 3,500 yd of sand has been deposited in the basin formed upstream of the structure. Perhaps an additional 1,500 yd3 of sand was deposited upstream of the basin as a result of the increase in the base elevation of the basin. Prior to 1970 about 300 yd3 /yr of sand -sized material was, on average, carried to • LCB in Buck Gully. Discharge varied greatly from year to year. Since Ithe basin is now full, a similar or possibly lesser amount will be 3 sand supply from Buck Gully, or further revetting of the bluffs, will likely not have a major impact on the LCB sand volume. Sand additions drive sand reductions by passage through the chute. Thus, a reduction in sand supply is not critical. Artificial beach stabilization is not warranted at this time. An addition of sand at present would not likely fig result in a long -term beach width increase. Should severe waves that approach from the south reduce the volume of sand above MLLW by transporting it seaward of -35 ft (MLLW) an artificial placement of sand could be warrented. About 100 yd of - appropriate -sized sand will produce a shore advance of 1 ft. Sand sources include the region behind the bottom control structure, land sources with transport to LCB by truck haul, or possibly an offshore source. The offshore source must be in a water depth below 35 ft and seaward of the active LCB sand system. A "hard" structural alternative, not recommended at this time, would be to construct an impermeable dam across the sand chute, perhaps in a water depth of 10 to 25 ft. This would pond or "perch" sand and reduce the gradient of the upper chute • allowing the beach width to increase until an equilibrium slope is again attained. Sand would probably have to be artificially added to widen the beach. Bottom Control Structure. The bottom control structure was designed to reduce headcutting upstream of the outlet of Buck Gully, and to eliminate toe erosion of the bluffs at the outlet caused by streamflow. Both of these design objectives have been met. The control structure appears to have not had a long -term effect on the width or volume of sand on the beach. Since its construction around 1970, about 3,500 yd of sand has been deposited in the basin formed upstream of the structure. Perhaps an additional 1,500 yd3 of sand was deposited upstream of the basin as a result of the increase in the base elevation of the basin. Prior to 1970 about 300 yd3 /yr of sand -sized material was, on average, carried to • LCB in Buck Gully. Discharge varied greatly from year to year. Since Ithe basin is now full, a similar or possibly lesser amount will be 3 carried to LCB in the future. The amount will probably be less because • of deposition in the vegetation- chocked channel above the basin and below 5th Street. The vegetation is nurtured by an ever - increasing volume of nutrient -rich nuisance water contributed by residences. With or without the bottom control structure, a near permanent channel will exist to drain Buck Gully. Recommendations. A number of things could be done to alleviate some of the problems at LCB. Cobbles have been more noticable since 1978, probably because of an increased incidence of wave storms. These cobbles, exposed when beach sand is moved offshore, could be removed. The volume of cobbles is relatively low compared to the volume of beach sand so no adverse effect on beach stability is anticipated. Flow is across about a 60 ft width of the bottom control structure during high discharge events in Buck Gully. This exposes the 60 to 80 -ft long rock spillway (revetment). The 20 -ft wide notch cut in the structure in the late 1970's could be cleared of rock and the Buck Gully • channel directed toward the notch to channel flow in the reduced width. This would reduce the area of rock exposed and slightly reduce the width of the channel across the beach. 0 3 Rock exposed by stream flow on the seaward face of the bottom control structure could be covered with sand during the late spring to autumn dry season. This would reduce the visual impact of the bottom control structure. :�I J� J y 0 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The findings of this investigation were enhanced as a result of assistance provided by many people and organizations.

Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, Ca. 92663 Re: Tentative Tract Map #12873 Adjacent to the Ensign View�?ark Dear Commissioners: The purpose of this letter is to outline the primary issues of our development plan as it relates to Ensign View Park and the surrounding homeowners and neighborhood and to request your support upon reviewing the plan this evening. The following are the primary issues: 1. VIEWS FROM SURROUNDING HOMEOWNERS We have imposed stricter'height limitations'for our development than City standards. During our meeting with neighbors, they • g expressed a desire to have the overall landscaping plan and trees between the•Theatre Arts Center and our development coordinated to maximize the views and appearance of the overall landscaping. We desire the same and have agreed to work with Mr. Ron Whitley in this effort. Prior to any change, we will submit a landscaping plan to the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department for approval, 2. VIEWS FROM THE PARK During our initial meeting and presentation to the Planning ' Commission, the potential impact of views from the Park was questioned. As you can see from the photos included in bur presentation, the primary use of the Park, bay and ocean viewing and picnics will be unaffected. Included in our presentation is an analysis of the sunset views. Please note that from the mainbody of the park and the majority of the seating areas, the views will be unaffected year around. Only from the last two or three benches next to our development during approximately three months of the summer will there be a minor view impairment. The addition of second stories within City standards for the existing houses on Tustin Avenue or a standard six foot fence on our site or the Park ,property -will have a similar view impact regardless of our overall proposed plan. Thus, our development has an insignificant view impact. • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission Tentative Tract Map 112873 Page 2 3. NOISE FROM THE THEATRE ARTS CENTER The Planning Commission was concerned with the impact of noise during intermissions. We have agreed with City staff members,, as a condition of approval, to give notice to the future homeowners of the increase noise levels during intermissions. Thus, hopefully avoiding future complaints. We welcome your comments and would appreciate your approval of our plan subject to a formal landscaping plan which will need approval by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department.
