ACTION ITEMS Item #11 - Dog Park Recommendation Chair Grant reported that the site for a proposed dog park was discussed at a previous meeting and that the issue was postponed so that further research could be done at committee level. Nancy Beard passed out an updated staff report reviewed by the City Attorney based upon a thorough review of the ground lease held by the Newport Aquatic Center. Ms. Beard also Recreation Program Committee Park and Open Space Committee Budget Committee Tree Committee Oasis Liaison .Dog Park Recommenda- tion Parks. Beaches & Recreation Commission • y d�� February 1, 1994 o�6�r�o'cCOLn City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX passed out a letter which was received from Kathleen Lehman in support of a dog park at North Star Beach. In addition, she received a call from Mrs. Henderson who is opposed to a dog park at this location due to noise, parking problems, etc. Commissioner Compton, Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee, explained that 3 months ago the City Council asked this Commission to review the feasibility of a dog park. The Commission's Park and Open Space Committee .did considerable research and determined there was no suitable site. An Ad Hoc Committee was then formed to further research this subject and they recommended North Star Beach as the only site currently available for a temporary dog park. However, since the lease with the Newport Aquatic Center has been reviewed, it is now the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee that the idea of a dog park should be kept open but that there are too many restrictions to the North Star Beach site. Nancy Beard summarized the major points of the . recent report on the Newport Aquatic Center's ground lease which was also made available to the public. The ground lease has specific language identifying the use of North Star Beach for sports involving human powered watercraft, therefore, a dog park would be inconsistent use of this land. The use of the Aquatic Center was voted upon and approved by Newport Beach residents in June, 1982. Furthermore, the Center is limited to 250 people per day and this would undoubtedly be exceeded if a dog park were implemented. The Newport Aquatic Center is also concerned about the increased use of the public restroom which they supply and maintain. Finally, should a dog park be .proposed at this site, approvals would be required by the Coastal Commission, County of Orange and the Newport Aquatic Center Board. Commissioner Compton pointed out that both committees feel a dog park is needed, however, a proper site needs to be found and North Star Beach would not be a suitable site based upon the lease agreement. He recommended the subcommittee remain active and review any proposed acceptable sites. Commissioner Compton pointed out that other parcels, such as the one at MacArthur and • Jamboree and the Castaways, may become available when The Irvine Company turns them over to the City at a future date. Commissioner Herberts noted that the land at North Star Beach is one of the largest pieces of property available and is sitting dormant. i ` All :� Ss•I ( . �, 6 Parks, BeGaches & Recreation Commission • ti P 9�a February 1, 1994 o �0, Page 4 City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX She urged other uses be sought for public use of this land. In response to a question from Commissioner Vandervort, Nancy Beard explained that 3.98 acres of the total it acres at North Star Beach are leased to the Newport Aquatic Center, which includes the proposed dog site location. The entire area is designated Tidelands and is owned jointly by the City and the County of Orange. Chair Grant opened the meeting to public hearing. Seth Oberg, President of the Dover Shores Community Association, addressed the Commission. Mr. Oberg stated he is not opposed to dog parks, however, he opposes a location at North Star Beach since it is in the middle of a residential area and would result in increased traffic, litter, noise and odor. He also was concerned over possible damage to the slopes and that there is no formal organization responsible for the dog . park. Mr. Oberg summarized historical concerns and conditions of use, such as the size and uses of the facility, landscape maintenance, clean up, access to roads, etc. Nora Seager, Director of the Newport Aquatic Center, addressed the Commission and thanked those involved for all the work they have done. Ms. Seager emphasized the important and cooperative relationship they have with the Dover Shores Community, which they want to continue. The Center's major concerns include the mechanics of the lease, Conditional Use Permit, and the impacts that a dog park would have, such as extra Costs, road access, future expansion and liability. Commissioner Glasgow pointed out that the Commission's committees thoroughly researched all potential concerns and issues, and that there would not be any additional costs to the Center. Joe Sanchez, 306 Narcissus, addressed the Commission and stated he is disappointed to learn that there may be no dog park at this site, however, he understands the legalities . of the lease that have been raised. He stated that when a dog park is considered that the "not in my backyard" syndrome not be the problem. Mr. Sanchez urged that the idea of a dog park continue to be pursued since a large portion of the community want one. Jacquelyn Dillman, 1200 Polaris, addressed the N 1 • j � rr'. r� 4 Parks. Beaches & Recreation Commission • y February 1, 1994 CA 66 m Page 5 90 w�, 6�0-s bJ o City Council Chambprs 7 p.m. INDEX Communication, Commission. Ms. Dillman stated she lives at the - corner of North Star and Polaris, and that a dog park at North Star Beach would impact her family the most. Although she would like a dog park, she does not want one in a residential area. Commissioner Herberts commented that she observed dogs running loose in this area and that there are more dog nuisances here than in the Laguna Beach and Long Beach Dog Parks. Ed Benson, 728 Westwind Way, addressed the Commission. Mr. Benson stated that although he is not opposed to a dog park, he is concerned over whose legal responsibility it would be. He recommended the Castaways site where people already take their dogs. Sean McGowan, 900 Sea Lane, addressed the Commission and stated it was he who first brought up the idea of a dog park. There are many who have worked hard over the past six months to find an appropriate site, however, no identified location will be totally • unaffected. Commissioner Compton thanked Mr. McGowan for all the work he has done and pointed out that Mr. McGowan has secured sponsors who will donate their time and money towards signage, fencing, water, costs, etc. He also noted the large number of people who have indicated their interest and are desirous of a dog park. He suggested private land be pursued. There being no further public testimony, Chair Grant closed the meeting to public hearing. Motion X Commissioner Compton motioned that this Ayes x x X x x X x Commission transmit to the City Council that North Star Beach is not a viable location for a dog park; however, if a viable location can be found, the subcommittee thinks a dog park is a good idea. Unanimous. V. DISCUSSION ITEMS Item #12 - Communications Received and filed. VI. SPECIAL. URGENT OR LAST MINUTE ITEMS Chair Grant passed out the Commission's 94/95 • Calendar and asked that any changes be transmitted to Nancy Beard.

Communication, CITY ®F NEWPORT BEACH Parks. Beaches & Recreation commission ti w� February 1, 1994 Page 6 o> j o City Council Chambers 7 p.m. INDEX Commissioner Schonlau reported he received a call concerning funding assistance in the amount of $2,500 for the Newport Harbor High School softball field. He advised the requestor to first raise $1,500 from private sources so that the request for public funding would be reduced to $1,000. Commissioner Vandervort reported two T- shirts were donated to the California Park and Recreation Society Conference booth, and that she has two extra tickets to the conference dinner on February 4. Chair Grant reported the Commission's goals will be reviewed at their March meeting. Commissioner Grant stated Frank Robinson and he discussed the Coastal Commission's conditions of approval at North Star Beach and he requested staff clarify the beach improvements that were to coincide with the development of the Newport Aquatic Center. • VII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission adjourned at 8:30 P.M. ' The agenda for this meeting was posted on January 25, 1994 at 2000 P.M. outside the City Hall Administration Building. • I � � Item No.5 0 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: February 15, 1994 TO: Ken Delino, Assistant'City Manager FROM: LaDonna Kienitz, Conummity Services Director RE. MARGUERITE AND 5TH AVENUE SITE The site, referenced in the February 4, 1994 letter from Lee Johnson, forms an integral part of the City's open space and the senior services. It serves as both a passive park and as essential overflow parking for the full program of services provided at the Oasis Senior Center. There has not been any consideration that this was an excess City property which did not meet the need for which it was intended. • The site was purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. It is my understanding that if at any time in the future it is not needed for City purposes, any money realized from the sale would have to be used for other eligible activities. I recommend that this site not be considered for sale to a private party at this time. Attachments cc: Kevin J.

Delino Deputy City Manager CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH 3300 Newport Boulevard P. 0. Box 1768 Newport Beach, California 92658-8915 Be: NWC of 5th Avenue and Marguerite Corona del Mar, California Dear Mr. Delino: X00 As a follow up to a conversation you recently had with Howard Wells regarding the above referenced site, this letter will confirm that I am interested in purchasing the parcel for the express purpose of building and oper- ating a 59 bed convalescent hospital. I envision the project having a Spanish motif very similar to Casa Palmera, the facility I built and currently operate in Del Mar. Howard and /or John Pierce will show you pictures and hopefully a similarly designed project would be pleasing to the members of your community. Howard mentioned that you may be interested in relocating the parking for your Oasis Senior Center. Perhaps we could structure a deal where I picked up all or a portion of this in exchange for the property. It is my opinion that the project would support a purchase price of $750,000.00 and if this meets your objective I will look forward to meeting with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

As part of the regular on -going monthly support programs, the Elder Care nurse from the Orange County Health Department visited Oasis this month for scheduled appointments with seniors for basic health screening and overall heath assessment. The health insurance counseling and advocacy program counselor also met with the seniors to provide Medicare assistance for those with Medicare or health insurance problems. This program is part of the visiting Nurse Association Foundation and is sponsored by the California Department of Aging. Youth Services . Staff facilitated an Institute at the California and Pacific Southwest Recreation and Park Conference this past month, entitled "Hot Tips for a Cool Summer." ,Eighty recreation professionals working with youth got a jump on their summer programs with the assistance of experts in the fields of arts and crafts; sports, games and nature projects. Boy, are we ready for summer!!! The youth basketball program is nearing completion. The City championships are scheduled for March 5 and 12. The Special Olympics Basketball Tournament will be held at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, March 19, at the Corona del Mar Gymnasium. We'd love for you to join us. Revenue Programs AA ug atics The Newport Beach Aquatic Club has a winter roster of over 70 swimmers. The NBAC President, Randy Parole, and the parent board were successful in gaining entry into the South Coast Swim Conference. This summer, NBAC will be • competing against swim teams such as Harbor View, Newport Hills, Pacific Sands, Lake Forest, College Park, Greenbrook and Green Valley. The United States National H2O Polo Team continued to use the Marian Bergeson Aquatic Center pool for eight more practice dates in February.

As you are aware, the current library site reverts to the new owner, The • Irvine Company, after the library relocates. And unfortunately the new library site at 1000 Avocado Avenue cannot accommodate the work. • If the relocation is approved by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission and the City Council, the Library staff will work with the appropriate City staff to effect the transfer. Cordially yours, LaDonna T. Kienitz Community Services Director / City Librarian cc: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission • 0 Item No. 13 COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: February 18, 1994 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent RE. ARTS COMMISSION REQUEST The Commission is being requested to approve the relocation of one of the City's Art in Public Places pieces. The City's Arts Commission would like to relocate the Brett Price sculpture currently located outside the City's Central Library to the corner of Superior and Pacific Coast Highway within the turf area of the parking lot. This area is most commonly known as Cal Trans East (picture attached). The art piece must be relocated when the current Central Library moves to the new site. The new Central Library has no appropriate location for the sculpture. The Arts Commission reviewed many possible locations for the sculpture. They have found, and staff concurs, that the proposed location is an excellent site. The Planning Department was consulted as the site is in a coastal zone and anticipates no problems in the location. The Building Department has assured staff that no permits will be required and have offered their services if a new footing for the sculpture must be designed. Coordination must be secured with the General Services Department as the present site will need to be abandoned, the sculpture transported and set into place. A visit to t he site will greatly assist you in making this recommendation. Iv CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH January 19, 1994 Taylor Grant, Chair Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission City of Newport Beach 3300 Newport-Boulevard Newport Beach, CA 92663 Dear Taylor: �3 During a meeting of the Arts Commission Thursday, January 1.3, 1994, the Arts Commissioners unanimously voted to request that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission approve relocation of the Brett • Price sculpture currently located at the main library to a park location. The proposed site for th'e sculpture is in the park area surrounded by the public parking lot at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Superior Road. this is the end of the Hoag linear park. Commissioner Anderson met with the artist, Brett Price, who indicated that he would be pleased with the proposed location. The artist sketched a design of a concrete base and pedestal that would provide seating and position the sculpture at a height that cannot be accessed by children for future consideration. Again, our request is your approval of. the use of this location for the display of the city's art piece. The relocation of the piece may be completed by city torces who installed the piece in its current location. In addition, we hope for future consideration of the seating design when budgeting may permit. Nancy Beard will work with this Commission on this project and is available to you for questions.

Park & Tree Superintendent 3300 Newport' Boulevard, Newport Beach FA LJ • TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Discussion: Item No. 15 Agenda Item No. March 8,1994 Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission General Services Director Council Policy During August 1993, the City Manager and Department Directors began a comprehensive review of the Council Policy Manual. One of the policies under review was Policy I -9 (Retention or Removal of Park and Parkway Trees). Staff amended the orignal Policy as noted by Attachment 1 and added a Tree Hazard Evaluation form. On September 7,1993, the Commission approved 3 recommendations for change as noted by Attachment 2. These changes were made and the policy was submitted to the City Manager. During the restructuring of the Policy Manual, Policy I -9 was.redesignated Policy G -1 to signify a General Services Department administered policy. On December 13, 1993, the new -Policy G -1 was submitted for Council review. Councilperson Hedges recommended the deletion of the word "extreme" in the phrase "special trees of xtreme beauty" and Councilperson Hart recommended rewording of paragraph 5 of page 1. Because of these changes, Policy G -1 was returned to the Commission for further review. At the January 4, 1994 Commission meeting, the two Council recommended changes were approved or modified (see Attachment 3) and six additional locations were added to the Preservation of Special Trees list. Subsequently, Commissioner Herberts correctly noted 'that there was an amendment to paragraph 1, page 2 that had not been previously approved by the Commission. Attachment 4 is the G -1 Policy as amended by the Commission on September 7, 1993 and January 4, 1994. Staff has no objection to further deleting the second sentence of paragraph 1 of page 2. (See area highlighted with *) 0 Recommendation: Approve Council Policy G -1 as amended by the Commission on January 4, 1993 and with deletion of the second sentence of paragraph 1 of page 2.

Removal must still be done in accordance with City approvals.

August, 1993 4� 0 Item No.17 • COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: February 18, 1994 TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission FROM: Recreation Superintendent RE. BACKGROUND INFORMATION - FORD/LORAL DEVELOPMENT The local news media has contained articles regarding the potential development of the Ford/Loral property. This is the current Loral site located in Newport Beach, north of Ford Road, east of Jamboree, west of MacArthur and the Belcourt development, and south- of Bison. As currently planned, the development will be comprised of 450 homes in a style much like the Belcourt development. The community will be gated with no public access. • City Ordinance 19.50.010 states the requirements for Park Dedication in the City. As a result of this Ordinance, the City of Newport Beach was divided into four development zones. A map outlining these zones is attached, When development occurs, developers must either dedicate usable land for a park or incur in lieu fees. If the Park and Open Space Element of the General Plan does not call for park development within the new buildout, the developer normally makes the in lieu payment. The funds are utilized within the same zone in which the development occurred. The current accepted ratios for dedication purposes, as established by the City Council, are five acres of land for every 1,000 persons, or $6.894 per dwelling unit. The residents of Newport Beach will greatly benefit from the amount of in lieu fees which this project will generate for future park development. The City Council will shortly be considering the draft for an In Lieu Land Dedication Policy to establish criteria for the use of in lieu fees. It is also anticipated that the Recreation and Open Space Element of the General Plan, last approved in 1984, can be developed in the next fiscal year. A review of available open space and potential development of the parcels identified in the Circulation Improvement and Open Space Agreement will be a critical part of that plan. / 7// :. -��' i / ,.: �� . � ^, / �'.. �� r �� ' " � �' �� l'� ��ir • • �J z 0 a K 0 m O= II � 0 w ? ❑ w m � ❑ _ 3.4 G� — ❑ Om F � ❑ N ❑ rx � Z Ow ❑ ❑ !=R ❑ w � ❑ r W= O Q �W �J G1 G1 0 0 r� u N U 0 z • ,0 cd t4° U U cd U PQ O z cu U O O O o � .� E ' C ° � °•D� 9 Y o55 .r3 W O .e � . ° C, L' S •p IL 0 s ° >.•eb ea 3 E s$O-8 ao °q E =u•5 v o � S e met a ebb `s8 R-oa°.v.Eti �•' 8 �v m y 7. e O i 12 11 � E �• �•9� 0 a> v E -a •a ,.
