CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • 0 arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 2 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Director Whitley reported that Little League is a volunteer organization which has done an outstanding job offering their programs to the community.- Both Director Whitley and Chair Taft thanked them for their excellent efforts and hard work. II. ACTION ITEMS Item #5 - Review and Recommendation on View Park - Hoag Review and Recommenda- Memorial Hospital Master Plan tion on View Director Whitley reviewed and described the situation of Park the View Park which is before the Commission for their consideration. He explained that Cal Trans East was purchased by Hoag Hospital for their expansion with a condi tion that a .8 acre view park be included when any type of development occurs, as identified in the Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan. Since Hoag Hospital is now processing their Master Plan, the Commissio 's recommendation concerning the location of the view park is necessary. Director Whitley described the two alternative preliminary plans presented, noting that others can also be considered. The two alternatives are a relatively square .8 acre view park or a linear buffer zone of approximately 27' the length of the property, which is called for in the Recrea- tion and Open Space Element of the General Plan. Mrs. J.T. Taylor, 240 Nice Lane and President of the Villa Balboa Association, addressed the Commission. She ex- plained the bicycle path and stated their Associa- tion recommends the linear view concept, which is con- sistent with resident expectations. She asked that the Commission delay their decision for 30 days so that the entire community can provide input. Mr. Bill Jennings, 280 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commissio to speak in favor of the linear view park. He spoke of the rest and solitude and spectacular view such a park could provide which would also be suitable for the entire neigh- borhood. He also explained another option, which might be a linear zone of 20' in wi,dth and 75' in length with a 100' x 100' square park at the end of Superior. Should the linear park not be approved at this meeting, he re- quested a one month delay so that the Association could provide more input. Mr. Lars Hansen, 22 Encore Court, addressed the Commission representing the Newport Crest Homeowners Association. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 3 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX He referred to the preliminary plans and the property in Cal Trans West which he has been trying to purchase but was told it was not for sale; now it is for sale exclusively to Hoag Hospital. Following a brief review of the plans and the General Plan, he urged a pedestrian /bicycle view park be approved. Director Whitley advised these plans are preliminary for proposals only, and Cal Trans East was purchased by Hoag from the State of California. Mr. Peter Foulke, Senior Vice President of Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission in support of a consolidated park. He explained Hoag's property lines and proposals for property which include a deeded parking lot due to the widening of Pacific Coast Highway. Landscapinq require- ments are still —being developed and he said there should be. no difference from a view standpoint if a consolidated • park were developed. Should a linear park be developed, it would impair their ability to develop the site. Mr. F.W. Evins, representing Hoag Hospital, addressed the Commission and further explained Hoag's proposed property plans and answered the Commission's questions concerning landscaping, slope and parking. Mr. Chris Kuhta, 210 Lille Lane, addressed the Commission in favor of a linear park which, he said, was recommended before Hoag proceeded with their plans. He described the multiple points of view afforded by a linear path which is already graded and said he did not understand how this small strip could deter Hoag's plans. Ms. Carol Gehlhe, 210 Lille Lane, addressed the Commission. She said she is in favor of a linear view park which would offer a wonderful view for many people to enjoy. Ms. Peg Morreale, 270 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission and urged them to delay a decision for further input. She mentioned the path is 18' wide so that emergency vehicles can also use it. Mr. H.T. Lennen, Jr., 270 Cagney Lane, addressed the Commission in favor-of a linear park. He felt they have been misled by Hoag representatives and that their drawings misrepresent their building plans since views will be obstructed. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX _ y Mr. Richard Siegel, 210 Lille Lane, addressed the Commission favoring the linear park. He stated their community needs the path and the City will also benefit from it. Following close of Public Testimony, discussion by the Commission ensued. Commissioner Vandervort reported she tried to see the site but could not find an entrance; she asked where the public will park to use the area. Director Whitley replied that both parks proposed would not have parking for vehicular access due to the 60' grade separation. Director Whitley reported that the City Council will make the final decision, however, he recommended this Commission' input also be transmitted to the Planning Commission. • Chair Taft referred to the Recreation and Open Space Element noting that this is a guideline only, and locations and configurations can be changed. Commissioner Demmer stated she appreciates Hoag Hospital's goals in developing and expanding their medical facilities, but she believes this area needs a linear view park as a good buffer zone for the residential community. She does not feel a square park will be large enough to attract families for their activities and recreation needs and feels the total beautification and aesthetics of the area should be the issue. Commissioner Herberts agreed, stating there is a need for unobstructed views in the City: Since a linear view park would be easy to develop, it should be kept for its spec- tacular site. In addition, the bicyclists, walkers and joggers would benefit from the beautiful site as well as the nearby residents. Commissioner Compton felt a linear park here might become a private greenbelt and questioned if a square park might be more available to the public. Commissioner Grant stated he agrees with keeping views but . suggested an alternative be developed so there could be a more usable park with picnic tables, etc. Commissioner Konwiser agreed, stating he felt the issue is a private path vs. a public park with little or no public access. He favors a square park with the view not impacted. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 5 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Vandervort stated she sympathizes with the homeowners associations, however, she favors a compromise with a square version at the end along with a buffer zone. Chair Taft reported this Commission's job is to do what is best for the City as a whole. The situation is that a linear park would help aesthetically and the homeowners would benefit from such a park; however, there is a bad parking and access situation. Motion x Commissioner Herberts moved the Commission delay from voting Ayes x x x x for a month so that more information can be gathered from Nays x x x the community as a whole and the Commission will have an opportunity to become better informed. Seconded by Vandervort. Motion passes Commissioner Konwiser explained he did not support the motion because many who voiced their support here will not • be at the next meeting. The opportunity for parking so that many people can use the area does not exist, as it does in Irvine Terrace and other areas. Director Whitley reported he will notify presidents of the homeowners associations for further input. Commissioner Herberts recommended that if they cannot be present at the next meeting, they communicate their recom- mendations to the Commission. Item #6 - Tree Removal Appeal - 600 Narcisusus, Corona del Tree Removal Appeal Mar Commissioner Herberts, Chair of the Street Tree Committee, reported she has been looking at this situation since 1987 and each time has asked staff to root prune. It ha's now been done and staff feels there are no problems. Mr. Leonard Morgan, 600 Narcissus, addressed the Commission. He stated that yesterday he went under his house at 3' and still found roots and he feels this is a serious problem since the foundation is cracked. He asked that the second tree from the corner where the roots go under the rear wall be removed. In addition, the sidewalk is also cracking. '! Commissioner Compton reported there are four trees on the property and he did see a crack in the foundation. He recommended the smaller tree be removed', which still leaves 3 beautiful trees, and that the sidewalk be repaired. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Konwiser stated that if the character of the neighborhood isn't changed, he would approve removal. Commissioner Demmer recommended the City also repair the sidewalk. Motion x Commissioner Compton then moved the second tree be removed. Ayes Abstain x x x x x x x Motion passes. Item #7 - Tree Removal Appeal - 1011 E. Balboa Tree Removal Appeal Commissioner Herberts, Chair of the Street Tree Committee, reported Balboa has a desperate aesthetics problem due to power poles and high wiring, therefore, she favors saving all trees in the parkway by root pruning and repairing the sidewalks until such time that Balboa Blvd. has underground wiring and a new tree scape is planned. Mr. Anthony Miali, 1011 E. Balboa, addressed the Commission.' • He stated their small driveway is difficult to enter due to the two trees on each side of the driveway which cause a safety hazard. Their gas pipe also sprung a leak since the pipes are root bound. For these reasons, he is re- questing one tree be removed. Antoinette Everett, 1011 E. Balboa, addressed the Commission She requested one of the two trees be removed since they cannot get into their driveway safely and people park on both sides of the curb. More space is needed and she said she would agree to a smaller tree being planted. She also referred to the pipe line problem and noted the sidewalk is also lifting. Commissioner Konwiser agreed their points are valid and suggested a compromise that Public Works widen their drive- way 18" and also the neighbor's. The gas problem can be worked out with the gas company. Commissioner Demmer concurred. Jack Brooks explained the owners could get permission from Public Works for an encroachment permit to widen the driveway. Mon x Commissioner Konwiser motioned to work with the applicant A x x x x x x to obtain an encroachment permit, widen their driveway, Abs air x and widen their neighbor's driveway to shorten the parking space between the two driveways at City expense. Motion passes. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 6 a City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Item #8 - Park Bond Issue Park Bond Issue Vice Chair Grant reported the Parks and Open Space Acquisi- tion Committee met and discussed the park bond issue, result of which is the report submitted. Director Whitley reported staff agrees with Chair Taft's suggestion that the Commission annually review the Recreatio and Open Space Element which is included in the report. Commissioner Herberts questioned the County's requirements of 2.5 acres per 1,000 which is half of what Newport Beach requires, i.e., 5 acres per 1,000, because Newport Beach parks could be impacted when developments are annexed to the City from the County. Director Whitley explained the County's requirements are based on the Quimby Act, a State law that cannot exceed 3 acres per projected 1,000. Director Whitley further • explained the park dedication requirements that park space must be usable recreation land. A bond issue would be needed for additional park or open space which is beyond that which is identified as needed in the General Plan. Commissioner Herberts recommended rewording the report so that the City Council understands some members of the Commission favor a bond issue if the City wishes to develop more parks than presently called for. Commissioner Vandervort felt a bond issue would be appropri- ate for the Castaways site as the area is severely impacted. Since Mariners Park is the only active park in this area, another one is needed. She said that Item #4 in the report abandons the possibility of a bond issue and should be re- written to be more positive. Commissioner Grant felt Item #2 in the report should be refined and that requirements and facts should be stated. Commissioner Konwiser recommended giving the County credit for providing open space but stating that, when developed, it has a requirement less than Newport Beach's 5 acres per 1,000. Commissioner Grant moved the report be deferred back to the Parks and Open Space Acquisition Committee to be re -, -. written. Unanimous. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 9 Motion Ayes 11 arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission Page 7 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Grant then asked the Commissioners to contact him in •regard to any changes them deem necessary. Item #9 - City Council Policy I -5, Use, Priorities and Fees City Council for Facilities and Equipment, Proposed Amendments Policy I -5 Commissioner Grant recommended including the concept of a schedule closing fields for renovation. Nancy Beard stated this will be added as Item #4 under Specifications for Sports Groups. Commissioner Grant also recommended that Item #3 under Specifications for Sports Groups, third sentence, read... "Commission members or their designated committee..." Commissioner Vandervort recommended Item #D be amended to read "Department sponsored adult sports will take precedence at Bonita Creek Park softball fields." x Commissioner Konwiser moved Policy I -5 be approved with the X x x x x x corrections. Unanimous. III. PUBLIC COMMENTS IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS Item #10 - McFadden's Wharf Conceptual Plan McFadden's Wharf Con - Commissioner Konwiser recommended the bicycle trail be of a different texture than the pedestrian trail. ceptual Plan Commissioner Herberts requested shade trees be planted in the largest middle planter, at the square on the side of the new restroom, by the statue, and picnic benches. Commissioner Grant recommended the Plan include a definite place to park bicycles and address the yellow /red traffic control lighting system which Huntington Beach uses. Commissioner Compton reported the Bicycle Trails Committee will be attending the planning meetings to address these issues. He added that the bike racks will be the new high "S" shaped ones. Commissioner Vandervort questioned if Traffic Engineering has reviewed the flow changes and that 14 parking spaces have been eliminated. CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH arks, Beaches & Recreation Commission am- City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Director Whitley advised the change is because the Division is attempting to cease cruising in this area. Commissioner Vandervort also suggested more facilities be added to the female side of the restrooms. Item #11 - San Joaquin Hills Planned Community San Joaquin Hills Director Whitley reported the enclosed Land Use Concept is Planned for the Commission's information. The County area is unin- Community corporated and will be developed fairly soon. He referred to the 12 acres dedicated as a public park to accommodate approximately 1200 dwelling units or 7,000 people. Commissioner Herberts recommended The Irvine Company be invited to attend Commission meetings to hear Commission input. Commissioner Grant suggested a list of the Commis- sion's concerns be transmitted to the City Council. Commissioner Herberts voiced her concern that certain parcels that are developed in the County are deficient in parkland when annexed to the City of Newport Beach. She also suggested that it be pointed out to Council that San Joaquin Park is 50% short of what we expect in our community. Commissioner Grant recommended the 12 acre park be in such a configuration that it can have usable facilities on it. He also suggested this be used as an example in the park bond issue report. Following discussion, Commissioner Grant suggested staff write a report on the Commission's concerns to be formally addressed in the Parks and Open Space Acquisition Committee, followed by Commission review. Item #12 - Facility Inspections Facility Inspections Director Whitley explained the subject report includes reviews of what staff has done and points out deficient areas. A standardized form will be developed at committee level and presented at the November 7, 1989 meeting, followed by Commission facility responsibilities. • Commissioner Grant reported the Lincoln field needs to be rolled and bleachers need to be moved to the third soccer Q field. He also felt there are too many bleachers at Bonita Creek Park. Director Whitley advised staff will be doing an invdntory of all bleachers.

Corona and Inspiration Commissioner Konwiser stated he felt there is no need for Point exposed aggregate and that the same finish be used as in the Disappearing Path. Director Whitley explained that Little Corona has pre -manu- factured seating elements, i.e., the bench will be anchored in the boulders. The "clutter" will be removed at the end of Poppy and Public Works will install new signs. Commissioner Grant suggested soft lights be installed under the benches for safety purposes. He also asked that the specifications the Commission has requested be implemented and sent back for their review. Commissioner Konwiser agreed, asking that the list imple- menting lights, bike racks, pavement, etc., be returned. Di.rector Whitley advised these are preliminary schematics which will become Public Works projects and often times are not returned until it is too late to include additional items. However, he will transmit the Commission's comments to Public Works with a copy to the Commission. Commissioner Konwiser recommended that when final plans and specifications are available, they be brought before this Commission for review as an Action Item to determine if the Commission's comments have been incorporated. Item #14 - Status of Capital Projects Status of Capital Commissioner Vandervort suggested Capital Projects be listed Projects by Service Area. Commissioner Compton asked for more details on the status of West Newport; Director Whitley will provide this informa- tion as an attachment to the next report.

Taft, Chairman Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport Boulevard P.O. Box 1768 Newport Beach, CA 92658 -3017 Subject: CalTrans East Public Linear View Park Dear Mr. Taft: The Villa Balboa Homeowner's Association represents a community of 400 homes located immediately adjacent to the CalTrans East parcel that is presently under consideration. Our Board of Directors has voted unanimously to support the following configuration for the .8 acre public linear view park proposed for CalTrans East: a public linear view park twenty (20) feet wide, parallel to, and on the ocean side of the bikeway, extending from the present bluff cutback at the cancer center site to Superior Ave., where it combines with a square park area approximately 100 feet by 100 feet. It is the Board's belief that this configuration would best serve the public, as well as, conform to the stated General Plan goal of a linear view park and bikeway system along the bluff area. This design will permanently preserve, for all citizens, the spectacular panoramic view of the city, ocean, and bay from this site. The Association requests that the Commission support this combination square and linear design and recommend that it be implemented. We wish to thank the Commission for the time it's members have expended and the diligence they have used in evaluating this project.

Commission 3300 Newport Blvd. Newport Beach, CA 92663 Subject: Hoag Hospital Park Dedication Dear Commissioners, It is our understanding that as a requirement to develop the • "Caltrans East" property, Hoag Hospital must dedicate 0.8 acres for open space / park purposes. We believe the original plan called for the construction of a view park at the intersection of the proposed Bluff top Bike Trail and Superior Avenue. However, We have heard about a recent proposal to provide a "strip park" along the bluff in lieu of the view park. The Lido Sands Community Association would like to go on record in support of the original proposal to provide a view park. We feel that the construction of a "strip park" would merely provide the adjacent development with a city maintained greenbelt and rob the public of an excellent "mini park" opportunity. Additionally, We would hope that upon development of the "Caltrans west" and Armstrong Petroleum properties, that the Bluff top trail would be extended to the Santa Ana River Trails. Thank you for this opportunity to voice our support of the view park and your continuing efforts to beautify and improve the quality of life in our city.

Box 1224 Newport Beach, California 92663 19 October 1989 RE: Required Proposed View Park - Hoag Hospital Expansion Dear Mr. Whitley: Pursuant to your letter of October 6th to our community. on Thursday evening, October 12th, our Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution to endorse and support a park in a location which would ultimately be of far more benefit to the general public than one that.-ultimately only benef.its:a select few. It is our desire to see a linear park along Pacific Coast Highway with sufficient planting to aid in sound attenuation for the Hoag Hospital Day Care Center and the other proposed out - patient services which will be built during the 20- year.construction phase of the hospital's lower campus. According to Hoag Hospital representatives. the surface grade is already approximately 10' above the highway so as to provide a natural protective berm for those who wish to enjoy the park. This beautification proposal would also enhance an area which has been sorely neglected; i.e., the landscaping of the west -end entrance into our city. If you build a park here, yours and Hoag's financial investments would be multiplied by the shear numbers of people that will enjoy it - visually and physically. we do hope that you will consider this proposal favorably. It is important to place this park in such a way as to maximize the public benefit. Si erely, Jill Lindsay, P sident Mr. Ronald A.

Discussion: A significant amount of review and discussion has occurred during, the last year with regard to having a bond issue for park acquisition and development purposes. During the past ten years positive steps have been made to improve the size and quality•of our park system. As identified in the Recreation and Open Space • Element of the General Plan, future park need and development are based on residential development of privately owned vacant land. This method will assure that new areas are adequately served and deficiencies in West Newport can be improved. The Parks and Open Space Acquisition Committee has extensively studied the concept of proposing a bond issue or other means for acquisition of additional parks and open space. This analysis required a thorough review of the existing Recreation and Open Space Element. During review it was found that the established standard of 5 acres per thousand population will be retained with proper application of the Implementation Plan. This standard is above that found in the State, County and most cities in California. As specifically requested by the City Council, the following is determined: Our present park dedication requirement of 5 acres per thousand population is adequate and is the maximum allowdd by state law. 2. This requirement has been projected into the future by looking at undeveloped residential land including County of Orange uni,ncorporated'areas in West Newport and Down Coast. The County of Orange, although having allesser standard, has been cooperative in respecting our park standards, and it is felt that development in these areas will include standards and a quality of development consistent with those found in Newport Beach. Our future park system will meet our requirements. -2- 3. I.t is felt that with the existing park dedication requirements and con- ventional resources available for development, our park system can continue to grow to serve the public without the need for a bond issue. 2� In considering a bond issue, the concept of providing a large central park in the Castaways or Newporter North area was considered. Either of these concepts would require additional'funding through a bond issue. Negatives found in proposing this concept were the high cost of acquisition, annual maintenance and the feeling that it would become a regional facility that would attract a high number of visitors from outside the City. In addition, a reserve fund to acquire mini parcels for pocket parks as property becomes available was thought to be an issue that would not lend itself to bond issue application. Being unable to identify sites and establishing a reserve fund, it would be difficult to gain voter support. The Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission will conduct an annual review of the Recreation and Open Space Element in August of each year. This review will be publicized and every homeowners association will be notified of the review process for maximum community input. This procedure will enable appropriate consideration to be given to findings for inclusion in the annual'budget process. Ronald A.

M l � CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH Item No. 10 Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department • DATE: October 23, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent Pb SUBJECT: Update - West Newport Community Center Background: In early April, 1988, the City's Planning Department determined that Community Development Block Grant Funds could be used to purchase a portion of the property known as Newport Christian School. Located at 883 W. 15th Street in West Newport Beach, the immediate area contains a majority of low /moderate income residents so identified by standards set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD regulations provide the use of CDBG funds to purchase community facilities and develop housing opportunities as long as low /moderate income residents receive benefits from use of the funds through improved services and additional housing. In cooperation with Mesa Development Company of Costa Mesa, the Planning Department proposed the use of CDBG funds for the purchase of a gymnasium, classrooms, parking and restrooms on the eastern portion of the site. The western portion of the site, which included older classroom buildings and a small chapel, was purchased by Mesa Development for construction of multi- family residential units im accordance with HUD standards. Through this purchase, the Planning Department proposed to address •the historical deficiency in public recreation facilities for West Newport Beach in addition to increasing housing opportunities. Renovation: Since July, 1989, the' - Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department has been refurbishing the West Newport Community Center. Classrooms, restrooms and gymnasium showers were all in need of major refurbishment. The walls, ceilings and floors have been completely refurbished as well as the outside of the facility. The grounds have also undergone a face lift. The parking lot was redesigned to include a mini park and sand area as well as parking. Programs: The new downstairs classrooms include an office area primarily for senior counselling, referrals and information; a small classroom soon to be remodeled as a teaching kitchen; and a double classroom for senior day usage, including congregate meals. We also program a full size gymnasium and after school recreation equipment /office area in the downstairs area. In the upstairs areas you will find two regular sized meeting rooms and one double sized classroom. The double sized room will feature a wood floor especially designed for our large dance and exercise programs. Also located upstairs and adjacent to the gymnasium are two oblong shaped rooms designated as workout /exercise rooms. Our intent is to program primarily for seniors in the morning, and early afternoon hours; . children following school hours; and adults in the evenings. We will be programming classes as early as the winter session at the West Newport Community Center and bringing them up to full speed by the spring session. 3 Staff is very pleased and excited by this new addition to our facilities. We plan to utilize these classrooms and the gymnasium to their fullest potential. Item No. 20 CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH • Parks, Beaches and Recreation Department DATE: October 26, 1989 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Nancy L. Beard, Recreation Superintendent SUBJECT: UPDATE ON LINCOLN ATHLETIC FIELD Commissioner Grant, staff members Bob Granger, Dan Iwata and Nancy Beard, along with an array of lighting consultants, met at the Lincoln Field on Wednesday night, October 11, at 7:00 P.M. to discuss the various problems regarding the Lincoln evening lights. The electrical engineer contracted for the lighting program reviewed each light pole and each electrical switch within the electrical panel. He also reviewed the lighting pattern he designed versus what is existing. He is planning immediate adjustments with the lighting directional patterns and adding louvered shields to the offending lights. •He also suggested reducing the li.ghting level for soccer fields versus the ball diamonds. For example, not all theliight poles need to be lit up for soccer practices and, in reverse, not all poles need to be lit up for the diamonds' use. This will immediately relieve both Spyglass Hills and Jasmine Creek homeowners of the intense lights with which they are so upset. These changes are scheduled to be completed as soon as possible. The consultant will also offer us options regarding the method in which the lights are engaged, i.e., a revision of the existing time clock. One plan is to install buttons on the outside of the electrical panel box. These buttons would be timed for a one or two hour time span. When a coach is utilizing the field he /she would have to walk over to the light box, choose the playing field desired and push in the appropriate button. If a practice /game goes over the one or two hour limit, they will need to go back to the light box and re -light the field before time expires. The coaches will be warned of the impending shut off via a red signal light located on top of the backstop on field #1. The lights will maintain a master override system allowing no re- lighting of the field following the designated shut off times. As of October 23, a new time clock has been ordered and will be installed upon receipt. Please be advised that staff is working very hard to remedy this situation. It should be completely under control in 60 days. •If there are any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call me at 644 -3151. L4 Nancy L.
