Ms. Temple pointed out the original plan provided for a passive open space area. The Planning Commission objected to this inasmuch as there was no provision for neighborhood parks.

Dottie Flohr, Secretary Item II CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation, Department DATE: October 27, 1987 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: JOINT MEETING WITH THE FRIENDS OF OASIS The following agenda items are requested by the Friends of Oasis with the Commission for the joint meeting of November 3, 1987: I. Landscaping Needs The Friends will present some proposals for landscaping improvements. Most of the improvements can be undertaken with current maintenance/ operation funds. Additional discussion will include the landscaping of the north 1.06 acres. The slope area has a drainage area in place; however, there is no ground cover at the present. II. Temporary Parking . The Board has received proposals to include some additional temporary parking on the north 1.06 acre site closest to the slope area. A partial reason for this request is the serious, concern regarding traffic through the 5th and Marguerite intersection. III. Stop Light - 5th and Marguerite The continuing concerns regarding the intersection have been presented to the Board. The Traffic Engineer's office continues to maintain that the intersection could be made more hazardous if a light was installed. IV. Capital Improvement Budget The focus of the Friends of Oasis fund drive is the construction of a new Human Services wing on the north 1.06 acres. The Friends are requesting an annual capital improvement budget appropriation of approximately $250,000 for three years to construct the new building. Sketches of the building and an explanation of its features will be provided at the meeting. V. Arts and Craft Workshop This subject is addressed under Item No. 5 of the November 3 agenda. • I ar. Deven �I Item No. 5 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: October 27, 1987 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Preliminary Plan'- Oasis Addition, Recommendation: Approve the Preliminary Plan for the construction of arts and craft addition to the Oasis Senior Center. Background: The Fiscal Year 1987 -88 budget contained a $165,000 appropriation to design and construct a 1,500 square foot addition to the Oasis Senior Center. Approximately two months ago, the City executed an agreement with Ron Yeo, FAIA Architect, Inc., to design the addition. Mr. Yeo has met several times with a committee appointed'by the Friends of Oasis and has looked at several . local arts and craft studios. The Preliminary Plan has been reviewed and approved by the Friend's of Oasis committee and Department staff. Mr. Yeo will attend th'e Commission meeting of November 3 to present a verbal explana- tion of the Preliminary Plan which will be displayed for Commission and public viewing. The current time schedule has construction documents completed by December 4; Building Department plan check completed by December 30; City Council bid authorization by January 11; award of a construction contract by March 14. • ID • • LJ CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: October 27, 1987 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: Buffalo Hills Park Scoreboard Recommendation: Retain a baseball scoreboard in its present large ball diamond at Buffalo Hills Park and recommendation for City Council review. Background: Item No. 6 location near the left side of the authorize staff to transmit the On July 30, 1987 a letter addressed to the Mayor and City Council was referred to the Department regarding the location of a baseball scoreboard at Buffalo Hills Park. The scoreboard was placed on the left side of the large baseball field used by the Newport National Little League for major division (ages 11 -12 years) competition. The letter was submitted by Mr. Brooke Bentley and questioned the review and approval process which resulted in the scoreboard's installation. On September 11, 1987, another area resident, Kathy Rosenberger, contacted the Department by telephone and indicated her concerns regarding the scoreboard's installation and the fact that it is up all year long. In response, the Department requested Little League to remove the scoreboard pending a review of its location with the Harbor View Community Association, the Commission and the City Council. In addition, Department staff contacted the Planning Department and requested any applicable regulations or codes for signs or scoreboards. On October 14, the Board of Directors of the Harbor View Community Association indicated their support for the scoreboard in its present location. The City's Current Planning Administrator also advised the Department that there are no codes which regulate signs on City parks; any regulations or directions are self- imposed'. Normally park signs such as those for facilities are reviewed by the Commission. The installation of the scoreboard by Newport National Little League volunteers occurred in April, 1987. The Department had discussed the Little League's desire for a scoreboard but did not provide final authorization prior to its installation. Due to an internal misunderstanding, the Little League did not remove the score- board following the Department's written request of August 5, but has indicated their intention to comply if such a request is authorized by the Commission and approved by the City Council. The installation of the 5'9" x 910" scoreboard in its location is believed to be the best possible site for spectator visibility, player safety and view impact. The scoreboard's total height measures 9 feet, and the view impact was thought to be minimized by a turf berm immediately adjacent. la ar even grarvm car am Sue 3.0 pct, acrd DIRECTORS Robert B.

I have lived in Harbor View Homes for the entire time and have enjoyed the park. That is, however, until recently when the Little League Baseball Team errected a permanent scoreboard which is approximately 8 feet by 12 feet. I would like to know if this has been approved by 'City Council or if signs of this nature can go up "willy - nilly" throughout our parks. Thank yof for your response.

Bay Avenue Newport Beach, CA. 92663 Dear Bill: Recently, the Department received some complaints from residents surrounding Buffalo Hills Park regarding the Little League scoreboard. Specifically, residents object to the scoreboard's installation, the apparent lack of review and approval and its location. In light of the fact that baseball season is over, the'Newport National Little League is required-to remove the scoreboard no later than • September 7, 1987. The scoreboard may be reinstalled if approvals are secured from appropriate Community Associations, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and the City Council. Approval conditions :.may also require that appropriate plans be designed indicating ele- vations, dimensions, and construction in order to obtain permits from appropriate City Departments. is dq We regret if staff members from this Department'implied that.installa- tion of the scoreboard was previously approved. However, our records indicate that Newport National Little League did not request installa- tion of the scoreboard in'a formal manner.. Unlike the thoroughly detailed review and - approval process established for the Eastbluff Park improvements, this one has "slipped through the cracks." Please contact me if you have any questions.

Regarding Issue 1, I am attempting to have horizontal standards incorporated into the current regulations that cover height standards, Issue 2 and your suggestion for an Ocean Boulevard study has been referred to the PB &R Commission. They have already scheduled a review of • encroachment procedures and problems and should welcome input and participation by concerned residents of the area. • W Our current year budget includes funds to replace macadam with concrete on the meandering sidewalk from Marguerite to the beach entrance and to construct,a new sidewalk from that point to Lookout Point. As far as it is practical, the new sidewalk will meander and follow the bluff line and not the curb. Additionally, an east - facing concrete pad with room for two or more benches will be provided near the bluff at the foot of Iris. Your interest and suggestions are deeply appreciated.

Also, that we formalize the use of root barriers in the planting of new trees. Council Policy I -19 provides the guidelines for planting new trees on Page 4. The use of root barriers is addressed on the same page and should be changed to root barriers will be installed, instead of may be installed if the City feels it is needed. (1ZY, Lde -; � Jack Brooks 4 0 Cl I -19 MAINTENANCE AND PLANTING OF PARKWAY TREES The City Council is vitally interested in beautification of City parkways. Public cooperation in helping to develop and maintain healthy and attractive trees is encouraged. MAINTENANCE OF PARKWAY TREES The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department will trim the parkway trees on a rotation schedule. An effort will be made to trim most of .the parkway trees on a two year cycle. If the rotation trimming is completed in less than two years, more frequent trimming will be done on certain trees and in view areas. Public safety such as low branches and heavy foliage will be given priority over view trimming. An effort will be made to trim parkway trees on the Peninsula and parts of Corona del Mar during the fall and winter due to heavy traffic during the summer. Trimming schedule will be altered to avoid trimming streets with flowering street trees during their blooming time. This will apply to streets having a large number of flowering trees, not to one or two trees on a street. TREE LIST The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission has adopted an official tree list which will be used by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department to determine species for planning purposes in all new subdivisions and replacement in established parkways.
