Dr. Jan Vandersloot, 2221 16th Street, addressed the
Commission and explained the reasons for waiting to -plant
the slope. The Newport Beach Conservancy will be
donating $2,500 towards the project and he requested help
from the City to purchase trees in order that the plants and
trees can be planted simultaneously.
Director Niederhaus advised that $500 -$1000 of capital
improvement funds will be committed to the project to
purchase trees and mulch.
Chair Glasgow voiced his concern over the pathways at San
Miguel Park and Buffalo Hills in regard to ADA
requirements. Nancy Beard explained that the Buffalo
Hills pathway was not installed and that those at San
Miguel are within a safe distance of the soccer fields.
Commissioner Grant recommended that any additional
ADA park improvements first be reviewed by this
Commission. Director Niederhaus stated that there are
•
monthly meetings during which all Public Works projects
are reviewed and he will notify Director Kienitz when they
take place. He further noted he would convey the
Commission's concerns regarding the management of the
ADA contractor.
VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS
Item #6 - Illegal City Tree Removals
Commissioner Grant reported there is a need to determine
if there is a way to make a homeowner legally responsible
for the tree(s) in front of his/her house. Current policy is
minimal enforcement.
Director Niederhaus reviewed the report submitted and
provided Chapter 13.08, Planting. from the City's
Municipal Code Book. The Code provides for parkway
trees to be planted whenever new residences are
constructed or remodeled by over 50 %. He stated it is
difficult for the City Attorney's office to process claims
due to budget constraints and lack of manpower.
•
Upon Commissioner Demmer's suggestion, the
Commission formed a subcommittee consisting of Director
Niederhaus and Commissioners Demmer and Grant to -meet
with the City Attorney on illegal tree removals.

Sands Community Association contacted the Department
i requesting the existing Windmill Palms adjacent to the
Sound Barrier Wall at PCH and Balboa Boulevard be

Windmill Palms to deteriorate more than they would affect
the Queen Palms.
Larry Schmitz, 4901 Lido Sands Drive, addressed the
Commission and stated their second request, which would
be at no cost to the City, involves the area the Association
maintains outside the Sound Barrier Wall adjacent to the
sidewalk. Request is made for the City to remove the two
Windmill Palms and exchange them for two Queen .Palms,
The Association will then purchase two more Queen Palms
to create an umbrella effect over the whole area.

Agenda Item No. 3
December 6,1994
To: Parks, Beaches, & Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Tree Planting at Lincoln Athletic Center
Action
To accept the recommendation of staff to plant twelve Canary Island (Pinus
canariensis) pine trees along the northern perimeter of Lincoln Athletic Facility.
Discussion
. The Commission directed staff at the November 1, 1994 meeting to investigate
the additional planting of trees along the northern perimeter of Lincoln Athletic
Facility. This request was made after input and discussion with residents that
live north of the facility and were concerned with athletic lights shining into their
residence. The new trees would be planted between the existing trees to form a
better screen.
The existing trees in this area represent three different tree species. The varieties
are pine,,eucalyptus, and ash. Staff prefers the Canary Island pine since it is
more desirable based on growth and maintenance characteristics. Additionally,
staff has discussed the recommendation with Mr. Don Minard, Director of
Maintenance and Operations of the Newport /Mesa School District and he
concurs with our recommendation. The cost of the twelve pine trees including
contractual planting is $1200.
Very respectfully,
• David E. Niederhaus
Item 4
• November 23,1994
To: Mayor and City Council
Parks, Beaches; and Recreation Commission
City Manager
From: General Services Director
Subject: Palm Tree Diseases
The attached article in the Orange County Register regarding palm maladies has
prompted this report relative to Staff's awareness and proactive attitude toward
the City palm trees. The article focuses on one major disease, Fusarium wilt, but
there are also two other diseases that affect City palm trees. All three diseases
have been recognized and monitored by City staff during the last ten years. Each
represents a major threat to the longevity of the palms.
The first disease, Fusarium wilt, is found primarily in our City on the Canary
Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis). This palm species represents 1.1 % of
the City's urban forest or 235 trees. The value of these trees is $352,500. The
area of the City where 117 Canary palms are located is Marguerite Avenue in
Corona del Mar. Citywide, there are approximately 32 trees that have symptoms
• of the disease. Staff is continually monitoring the status of each of these trees
and researching new remedies. Staff has also been involved in informing
property owners, where the disease has been identified, as to the specifics of the
problem. The current trimming practice for the Canary Island Palm is to trim
only dead fronds and sterilize the saw after each tree is trimmed so as not to
spread the disease.
The two other diseases that are affecting our palms is Pink Bud Rot and Diamond
Scale which are also caused by fungi. The California Fan Palm (Washingtonia
filifera), which represents only 56 trees of the urban forest, has a• more significant
rate of these diseases. There are 25 trees that have either one or both of the
aforementioned two diseases. These palms are located on Goldenrod Avenue
and Pacific Drive in Corona del Mar. The residents in these neighborhoods have
been informed and staff continues to monitor the condition of the disease. No
remedy now exists.
There is currently no registered fungicides available in the State for the treatment
of these palm diseases. The best control' is cultural; Le.,'keep the tree healthy,
sterilize pruning equipment, and not plant the same species of palms to reduce
future problems. Additionally, Staff has been in contact with other professionals
in the industry to_ continue to keep abreast of any new developments. There are
no funds available in the current budget to begin replacement of the diseased
trees. However, a Capital Improvement Project for reforestation has been
• developed for FY 95 -96.

If you have any questions regarding the pahn tree diseases, please contact our

The look is so thoroughly en-
trenched in Southern California
that Barrett and his competitors
can no longer find trees to supply
a steady demand.
? Architects who use the palms
at new developments want trees
at least 25 feet tall. But the trees
grow so slowly that specimens
that tall would be 20 years old.
And 20 years ago, no one foresaw
such a demand for the Canary
Island variety.
So no nurseries have 25 -tall
trees in stock. Instead, Barrett
has a handful of independent
spotters on contract. They earn
$300 to $500 for finding backyard
palms and persuading owners to
give them up.
. Then landscape contractors
such as Barrett's company come
in. Crews dig out the root balls by
hand, often leaving an 8-cubic-
foot crater. A crane comes in to
haul the tree away.
Developers pay about $5,000
for each 2S foot•tall palm in-
stalled at their sites.
"We dig out about two or three
a day, but now we're having to go
to San Jose and Sacramento;'
Barrett said.
"We're running out of trees."
First popular in the 1920s with
land speculators seeking to draw
people to the good life, the Ca-
nary Island species of palm has
become the tree of choice in the
past decade for architects who
want to lend a graceful touch to
office parks, airports and shop-
cross -hatcu on me trunk, too.
And the canopies are very large,
and dark green. Very fall," said
Michael Major, a Capistrano
Beech arborist who is on the
Dana Point committee.
Perhaps the best way to save
the gracefull trees is to sacrifice
many of them.
"I'm very positive this disease
can be stopped in its tracks, but
the prescription would be trau-
matic," Ohr said.
"All the diseased trees would
have to be removed, pruning
would be reduced and all instru-
ments sterilized.

FACTS ABOUT PALM TREES
For more than a century, promoters
have imported and planted palms in
-California for their elegant allure.
The long, lean trees are more than
ornaments.
(VARIETY'
0- There are more than 4,000 genera
of palm tree, some of which have as
.many as 2,000 species.
► Only one species, the California fan
palm, is native to the state. It's found
'in the Borrego Desert, east of San
Diego.
(USES
► Wood is used for timber and
furniture.
► Fronds are woven Into rattan, and
sharp tips can be weapons.
► Fruits include coconuts, dates and
betel nuts, but some varieties pro-
duce a seed with a toxic coating that
can be used as a poison..
I "The species isn't going to be-
come extinct," he said. "But it's
going to be a hard to continue to
use it as an ornamental."
That seems like an odd twist to
Nancy Weagley, .who lives on
Avenida las Palmas in Capistra-
no Beach. A diseased Canary Is•
ugh fruit that it seeds dozen of
sprouts every year.
I have two of them in the back
I that are S feet tall, but I
[.care for them back there,"
said.
► Other palm products Include alco-
holic beverages, insecticides, acids,
waxes and polishes, jewelry and mu-
sical instruments.
REPRODuam
Palms reproduce-in one of three
ways.
► Dioedous varieties have separate
male and female trees. Pollen is car-
ried from the male to the female,
which produces fruit.
►Monoedous varieties have male
and female flowers growing on the
same stalk.
► Hermaphroditic varieties bloom
flowers with both male and female
parts, which are self - pollinating.
► Canary Island palms are a dioecious
variety. Female trees can produce
20,000 seeds a year.

Society director; Howard Ohr, University
of California, Riverside, plant pathologist.
"They come up ail the time
back there. I must pull out So
volunteers a year."
She might not like them in her
back yard, but Weagerly doesn't
want to lose any of the 110 Ca-
nary Palms planted to line her
street in 1920. She's lived in the
.neighborhood since 1964.
"There's something unique
about living on a palm tree -lined
street," she said.
"It's the idea they have of Cali-
fornia back in Pennsylvania,.
where I come from."

YOUTH SERVICES
The youth drop in programs are filled to the brim with children. Each of our
four sites are now staffed with a minimum of two Recreation Leaders. Our
daily average attendance at the three school sites is 30. The average daily
attendance for the Youth Center is 60.
Planning for the Mariners Madness .program, a collaborative program
including the Arts, Library and Recreation Divisions, is going well. The pilot
program kicks off in early January.
• The Youth Flag Football season came to a close November 17th. The City
wide Champions will represent Newport Beach in the Orange County
Municipal Athletic Association Tournament. Those reaching the finals will
play in the County Stadium located in Santa Ana, in early December.
The annual Halloween Haunted House was a big success. Over 500 children
of all ages took part in the event.
Staff is now preparing for 15 tons of snow scheduled to fall in Corona del
Mar on December 10th from loam to Ipm. The day will begin at the OASIS
Center where Santa will be having breakfast with all who wish to share
pancakes with the "jolly one ". Then it's on to the blizzard at the Youth
Center for snow games and arts and crafts projects.
REVENUE ACTIVITIES
Our annual trip to the Rose Parade is beginning to fill up. One hundred thirty
five participants will be bussed to the big Pasadena event at 7 am and

returned to Newport Beach at 1pm. The parade takes place on January 2nd
this year.
The Fall adult sports program will come to an end this month crowning
twenty nine teams as champions and distributing 400 individual awards.
Over the month long break, much needed maintenance on fields and gym
floors will take place in preparation for the Winter leagues.
The Corona del Mar Junior Water Polo ,program ended another successful
season by sending two teams to the Southern California Age Group
Championships at Long Beach State in November. The 13 and under team
brought home a 2nd place trophy. Coach Ted Bandaruk and staff will begin
Four hundred and twenty participants registered for contract classes in this,
our ,final month of the Fall classes. The Winter session will begin January
9th.
• With our Winter session begins the automated phone in registration system.
Staff will be carefully monitoring the program for its first quarter of usage.
The new brochure, the Newport Navigator, will be delivered to residents
December 2nd. The publication will be submitted for recognition at the
California Parks and Recreation Society annual conference this March.
FACILITIES
The Cliff Drive Community Center will be termited on Wednesday,
December 19th.
An alternative to the Lincoln Athletic Center lighting system has been under
review. Staff is researching different methods utilized by other agencies
throughout L.A. and Orange Counties. The main concerns to be addressed
by changing the system is to have the lights on when the fields are in use and
to have the lights turned off when usage is completed. In addition, only
authorized users would be able to access the lights. This will greatly assist
0
staffs' ability to record specific user groups' times on the fields for billing and
accountability purposes.
Three alternative methods have been identified for lighting control. The three
include: 1. Lock and Key control box 2. Punch Key Pad control box and
3. Card key access control box.
Staff has concurred that the card key access would be the most operative
method for our needs. A preliminary costs for the system has been estimated
at $5,000 per field. The Lincoln Athletic Center has two lighted fields.
The cities of La Mirada and Lake Elsinore have this system in place and rate
it very highly. The Cities of Brea and Orange are planning to install this
lighting method when budget constraints permit.
Staff will continue to firm up the alternatives, providing the Director with a
recommendation and price quote for the work to be completed within the next
two months.

December 6,1994
To: Parks, Beaches, & Recreation Commission
From: General Services Director
Subject: Ms. Barbara Rizzo Appeal
Ref Tree Removal at 600 Marguerite Ave.
Recomendation:
To retain the City Silk Oak near the corner of Marguerinte and Third Avenue.
Discussion:
Ms. Barbara Rizzo contacted John Conway, Urban Forester regarding the
removal of City parkway tree, located at her residence due to the tree's root
system . The tree is a Silk Oak (Grevilla robusta) and is actually located on the
Third Avenue side of the property.
A subsequent field inspection conducted by the Urban Forester on October 12,
• 1994 (field report attached) recommended not removing the tree for the
following reasons:
a. Tree is mature and healthy
b. Very minimal damage to private and public property
c. Tree is a valuable asset to the community
Mr. Conway's field inspection was then submitted to the Park and Tree
Superintendent who concurred with the recommendation of not removing the
tree. Additionally, the tree has a value of $ 3,126.98 ( assessment report attached)
and was last trimmed in March, 1994.
Please contact me regarding any questions.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

Re: Silk Oak Tree at 600, Marguerite (on Third Avenue side)
Dear Mr. Niederhaus:
Thank you for your prompt response to my request for the removal of a City street tree. I
continue to feel there is a safety issue with this tree and respectfully request you place this issue
on the agenda of the next meeting of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission.
As mentioned in my previous letter, the tree's root system has pushed the curb out of alignment
and has created a high mound on the easement along my property. My concerns are with the
root system invading my sewer and water pipes, pedestrians tripping over the root mound and
damage to cars by the protruding curb and who bears the liability, should any of these incidents
occur.
Please notify me in writing of the Commission's decision. I would also appreciate clarification
with regard to liability should this tree cause damage or injury. I look forward to your reply.
Respectfully,
Barbara Rizzo d

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO.
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Castaways Active Park
Recommendation:
Maintain the existing plans, consistent with the CIOSA Agreement, for dedication
of 4.8 acres of active park on Upper Castaways.
or
Accept offer of The Irvine Company to fund a study of an alternative concept plan
moving the active park site from Upper Castaways to Lower Castaways.
Mayor Hedges has requested staff place an item on the Council agenda to discuss a
proposal of The Irvine Company. Pursuant to Council Policy A -6, this item has
been prepared for City Council review and consideration. Specifically, The Irvine
Company has proposed that the City modify its current approval of a park on the
Upper Castaways site, permitting 29 additional homes in its place, and dedicating
to the City the Lower Castaways site for a park. The Company has indicated that
• the cost for the additional study not exceed $2,500.
F- -I
u
Discussion:
I. Relocation of the Active Park from Upper Castaways to Lower Castaways
would necessitate the following action due to approval of the current plans
in 1992 and 1994:
General Plan Amendment for Lower Castaways
Local Coastal Program Amendment for Lower Castaways
Amendment of the Castaways Marina P -C Text (Zoning Amendment)
II. Elimination of Active Park on Upper Castaways would require:
• Amendment of the CIOSA Agreement (Exhibits D,E,H)
(Reduce dedication requirement on Upper Castaways and add new
Lower Castaways dedication.)
• Amendment of P -C Text (Zoning Amendment)
• Amendment of Tentative Map
III. Additional residential on Upper Castaways requires traffic analysis and
environmental study, Section 6..2, CIOSA Agreement, due to increase in
• trips from detached housing ( CIOSA traffic study assumed attached
housing) - if total units generate more than 133 trips.
IV. Local Coastal Program Amendment and Amendment to -CIOSA
Agreement require the approval of the California Coastal Commission.
• The Lower Castaways site is currently designated as Recreational and
Marine Commercial on both the General Plan Land Use Element and
the Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan. The only permitted land use
is the approved marina project. Use of this property for a neighborhood
activity park may raise Coastal Act issues by the Coastal Commission.
A marina is a highest priority use under the provisions of the Coastal
Act. It is considered to be a "coastal- dependent" land use. That is, it is
a use which must be on the water in order to function at all. A
neighborhood park is not a priority use under the Coastal Act. In fact, as
a resident serving facility, it could be viewed as a residentially - related
use, and residential uses are the lowest priority use under the Coastal
Act.
•
0
If the Coastal Commission and/or its staff views the neighborhood as a
resident - serving facility, it may be difficult to gain the necessary
approvals to implement the park project.
V. Considerations on the Active Park -
Use of ILMer CastawUs
• Concept design of park formally approved by Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission.
• Initiation of RFP for land architectural work has begun.
• Additional parking in area, available on 16th Street.
• Development meets time line requirement to permit the park grading to
be undertaken at the same time as tract grading. Cost savings to'City
anticipated.
• A delay or hold on completion of landscape design work will likely
result in park completion after completion of first phases of homes.
City's goal had been to have active park in place when Upper Castaways
houses are ready for move in.
• Park site is immediately adjacent to the rear of single family homes with
accompanying noise issues.
Use of Lower Castaway
• Flat usable are is ±3.5 acres which is smaller than the 4.8 acres of Upper
Castaways site.
• Due to lower elevation of site and no immediate, proximity or adjacency
by residential units, more intense use of the property may be possible
including night time use with lights.
• Access to the site requires significant slope grading, retaining wall.
• More parking must be provided on site; no on- street areas for "spill
over" parking.
• The City's landscape architectural work, review process and
construction bidding may extend beyond the time when grading and
construction is scheduled to begin in the Castaways Tract, requiring
mobilization twice on the site.
• Grading and retaining issues may result in higher construction costs for
park.
•
i
• VI. Recommendation of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
• This item is on the agenda of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission for December 6, 1994. A recommendation will be
provided to the Council from that meeting.
VII. Timing/Community Input
If the City Council wishes to explore option of Lower Castaways
through a study, it may wish to direct staff to continue active design of
Upper Castaways to keep goal of park opening simultaneous with home
move -in on track. If after study this switch is declined, the development
of Upper Castaways would remain on its present timeline.
Inasmuch as there was extensive input sought by The Irvine Company

December 6, 1994
TO: PARKS, BEACHES AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: BALBOA BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS, 12TH TO 14TH STREET
LANDSCAPE DESIGN CONCEPT
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Landscape Concept Plan for the proposed Balboa
Boulevard improvements as shown on the attached exhibits and
described as Concept No. 7 in the attached report, "Landscape
Design Concept for Balboa Boulevard."
DISCUSSION:
The current budget includes funding for a project to provide
street, landscaping, and drainage improvements to Balboa Boulevard' between
12th and 14th Street. The project will correct drainage problems along
Balboa Boulevard particularly in the area of Newport Elementary School. The
existing drainage system does not provide positive drainage to the Bay and
large puddles which block the intersections and entrance to the school
remain for a long time after rain stops. The project will provide for the
removal of all existing sidewalk, street pavement and median island
improvements, and will construct new storm drain, sidewalk, street
pavement, median pavement and median landscaping.
The project schedule call's for the work between 12th and 13.th Street to
begin in the spring and the work between 13th and 14th Street, which is
adjacent to the school, to be completed in the summer after school is out of
session.
The engineering firm of Williamson and Schmid is preparing the storm drain
and street improvement plans. The landscape architect for the project, Mr. R.
Dale Hadfield, ASLA prepared the 'landscape concept plan and will be
preparing the final median landscaping plans. Mr. Hadfield first met with City
staff from the Public Works Department and the General Services Department

to discuss design objectives for the project. He then prepared six alternative
plans for City staff to review before arriving at the concept which is being
recommended for approval. The recommended plan provides for:
1. Enhance appearance of medians by increasing planting
within constraints of a narrow median also having
pedestrian use.
2. Maintain continuity of entire boulevard by utilizing existing
plan species, which establishing theme for future phases.
3. Provide landscape improvements which will have low
maintenance costs.
4. Maintain visibility and site clearance for safe pedestrian and
vehicular movement.
• S. Provide safe pedestrian access to cross walk'locations.
The plan has received positive response from the Balboa
Peninsula Point Association, Central Newport Beach Community Association,
Balboa Merchants Association, the Newport Elementary School PTA, and
Newport Elementary School Principal.

LA:NJ)SCAPE DESXGN CONCEPT FOR -
Balboa Boulevard Reconstruction
12th Street to 16th Street
• Six landscape alternatives for a typical median condition were presented to the Public Works
and Parks Departments for evaluation and consideration. These concepts were all evaluated
against the following design objectives, which are:
1, Enhance appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a narrow
median also having heavy pedestrian use.
2, Maintain continuity of entire boulevard by utilizing existing plant species, while
establishing theme for future phases.
Provide landscape improvements which will have low maintenance costs.
h. Maintain visibility and site clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement.
5. Provide safe pedestrian access to cross walk locations.
From comments and suggestions at the meetings with the Public Works and Parks
Departments, a seventh alternative was generated which incorporated the best of all
concepts and blended them into one. Listed below is a brief description of each concept
with the pros and cons identified.
• CONCEPT #1
proposes a combination of Washingtonia robusta palm trees (new and existing) and small
flowing trees, with flowering ground cover such as Agapanthus africanus below. One
additional palm tree is to be added to each end planter and existing palms are to be
relocated if required by new median configuration, and two (2) additional palms are to be
added at planter in the center of median. All new palms added are to be smaller than
existing, to create a staggered appearance as you view while driving. Two (2) small
flowering trees are to be added half way between the palm clusters with flowering color
below, and median paving enhanced.
PROS:
Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use.
Provides smaller scale Evergreen flowering trees so they can be enjoyed from
residences looking towards street and pedestrians while accessing parking meters.
Utilizes existing palms in place, unless required to be relocated due to new median
configuration.
0 • Enhances existing palms by adding additional of same variety.
• Heights of palms are staggered to provide more visual interest in skyline while
nn
driving.
• Enhances paving in median at parking meter locations.
• • Low planting maintains visibility and sight clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular
movement.
• Minor changes from existing landscape conditions provides for better on -going
transition for future phases, and landscaping cost is kept to a ,minimum.
• Overall landscape costs and additional costs of maintenance not severely impacted.
CONS:
Maintenance cost of flowering color would exceed present costs.
Impact of new landscaping for residents of the area is minimal. Small flowering trees
added at 100' intervals will be insignificant.
• Does nothing to improve safety of pedestrian movement.
CONCEPT #2
Proposes a combination, of Washingtonia robusta palm trees (existing) and three (3) small
• evergreen flowering trees, with flowering shrubs, such as Carissa or Raphlolepis below.
Utilizes existing palms in place, or relocated if required by new planter configuration. Also
calls for enhanced paving at median. The most significant improvement proposed an this
median is that it provides pedestrian access through the existing end planters for the
opportunity of pedestrians to use crosswalks, should they desire. -
PROS:
• Proposes pedestrian access through end planters to cross walk locations. Provides
opportunity for safer pedestrian crossings which never existed before.
Overall landscape cost is minimal when compared to other concepts. Probably least
expensive of all concepts.
Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use.
• Increased landscape maintenance costs will be minimal.
• Maintains visibility and site clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement.
• Utilizes existing palms with Natal plum below provides for better transition between
• new and existing medians. Provides for on -going continuity of boulevard while new
medians are being phased.
2
CONS:
• No new palms added, therefore opportunity of staggering palms it increase interest
• at lower levels not provided.
• Impact of new landscaping for residents of the area is minimal. Small flowering trees
added at 100' intervals will be insignificant.
CONCEPT #3
Proposes several small flowering trees in tree grates between three palm planters. Explores
the possibility of relocating existing palms or adding a new variety. Also considers changing
variety of shrubs in planters.
'PROS:
• Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use,
• Provides more greenery and shade in the median by adding several small flowering
trees.
• Provides landscape improvements which will have low maintenance costs.
• • Maintains visibility and site clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement.
CONS:
• Does not maintain continuity of entire boulevard. Poor transition from existing to
new medians. Totally different appearance..
Quantity of trees don't work in conjunction with quantity and location of parking
meters.
Arbitrarily relocating palms or switching varieties is unnecessary and costly.,
• Expense of relocating palms doesn't translate to an additional visual impact.
• Expense of changing variety of palms not feasible.
CONCEPT #4
Proposes three (3) large canopy trees alternating with existing Washingtonia palms which
are relocated to the center of medians. Also provides pockets of flowering color such as Ivy
Geranium alternating with parking meter locations down center of medians.
•
3
PROS:
• Enhance appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a narrow
. median also having heavy pedestrian use.
• Maintain visibility and site clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular movement.
• Provides more flowering color at periods throughout the year.
CONS:
• The impact of flowering color in median would not be visible behind parked cars
during heavy use periods.
• Maintenance cost of flowering color would be excessive.
• No substantial visual impact that justifies the expense of relocating palms.
• Due to limited use of palms, may end up with some existing palms left over. Palms
would have to be destroyed or relocated.
• Planting down the center of median will be hard to maintain during heavy use
periods due to access. Also will be subject trampling from pedestrians accessing
parking meters.
CONCEPT # S
•
Proposes a combination of Washingtonia robusta palms (new and existing) and a smaller
scale palm tree, with the entire median planted with a flowering shrub except at parking
meter locations. One additional palm tree is to be added to each end planter and existing
palms are to be relocated if required by new median configuration, and two (2) additional
palms are to be added at planter in the center of median. All new palms added are to be
smaller than existing, to create a staggered appearance as you view while driving.
Trachycarpus palms are added in between parking meter locations. Enhanced paving is
provided at parking meter locations.
PROS:
Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use.
Provides smaller scale palm trees so they can be enjoyed from residences looking
towards street and pedestrians while accessing parking meters.
• Utilizes existing palms in place, unless required to be relocated due to new median,
configuration.
• • Enhances existing palms by adding additional of same variety.
4
• Heights of palms are staggered to provide more visual interest in skyline while
driving.
• Enhances paving in median at parking meter locations,
• • Low planting maintains visibility and sight clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular
movement.
r Maximizes planting in median to the maximum extent possible.
CONS:
• Maintenance cost of would exceed present costs.
• Does nothing to improve safety of pedestrian movement.
• Planting would probably suffer 'due to pedestrian traffic.
CONCEPT # 6
Proposes a combination of two large canopy trees at end planters, with (3) relocated
Washingtonia palms evenly spaced between. A low wrought iron rail is proposed, in a
narrow planting strip with Bougainvillea vine trained to it. A narrow strip of enhanced
paving is proposed on both sides of ralling.
PROS:
• • Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use.
r Low planting maintains visibility andsight clearance.for safe pedestrian and vehicular
movement,
• Provides more flowering color at periods throughout the year.
CONS;
• Maintenance cost of flowering color and training vine to railing would exceed'present
costs.
• Arbitrarily relocating palms or switching varieties is unnecessary and costly.
• Expense of relocating palms and adding large canopy trees is expensive and
unnecessary. It doesn't justify changing the appearance.
• Provides more flowering color at periods throughout the year.
• •
The impact of flowering color in median would not be visible behind parked cars
during heavy use periods.
5
Does nothing to improve safety of pedestrian movement.
CONCEPT# 7
Proposes the best elements from all prevlous six concepts. Proposes a combination of
Washingto;nia robusta palm trees (new & existing) and (6) small flowering Metrosideros
excelsus trees, with Natal plum flowering shrubs below. Utilizes existing palms in place, or
relocated if required by new, planter configuration. A grouping of (3) palms are proposed
to be added to a center planter. These palms will be staggered in height to create more
skyline interest while driving. The concept also calls for enhanced paving providing
pedestrian access through the existing end planters for the opportunity of pedestrians to use
crosswalks, should they desire.
PROS:
• Enhances appearance of medians by increasing planting within constraints of a
narrow median also having heavy pedestrian use.
Provides smaller scale Evergreen flowering trees so they can be enjoyed from
residences looking towards street and pedestrians while accessing parking meters.
• Utilizes existing palms in place, unless required to be relocated due to new median
configuration.
• Enhances existing palms by adding additional of same variety.
• Heights of palms are staggered to provide more visual interest in skyline while
driving.
• Enhances paving in median at parking meter locations.
• Low planting maintains visibility and sight clearance for safe pedestrian and vehicular
movement,
Minor changes from existing landscape conditions provides for better on -going
transition for future phases, and landscaping cost is kept to a minimum.
• Overall landscape costs and additional costs of maintenance not severely impacted.

PARKS & RECREATION WORKSHOP REPORT - 9/29/94
is I have tried to convey back to the PB &R Commission, by both
oral and written reports over the past six years, a lot of the
research data, general philosophy and observations that I have
acquired by attending Workshops and Conventions. A few years
ago, the City paid for these, but more recently I have paid my
own way, knowing that the information offered could make all of
us more effective and efficient Park and Recreation
Commissioners. Phrases such as "Do you want to hire another cop
to try and solve the problem or two Recreation Leaders to prevent
the problem" become crystal clear when you are listening for an
hour to a lecturer quote statistics to back up the equation.
On September 29, 1994, I drove to Glendale for the 9th
annual Department Conference and Trade Show of the Los Angeles
County Department of Parks and Recreation. I sat in on the
educational session entitled "Financing for Parks and Recreation
Departments." The session was moderated by Jeff Hernandez,
Commissioner, LA Co. Parks & Recreation, and the speakers
included:
Bob Baderian, Director, Pasadena Parks & Rec
Rod Cooper, Director, LA County Parks and Rec
Nello Icano, Director, Glendale Parks and Rec
John Weber, Ass't Director, LA County Parks and Rec.
The session explored traditional and non - traditional approaches
• to dealing with finances for parks and recreation departments
(Newport's Community Services.) In this report, I will try to
summarize the major areas.
The 1992 Carnegie study, "A Matter of Time," recently
documented the decline of positive youth recreation in the United
States, noting that youths of all economic and racial groups have
too much unsupervised free time and a lack of meaningful'
recreation. Noting that children and teens average five hours of
unsupervised discretionary time daily, the study recommended that
these hours should be filled with positive recreational
activities -- or the likelihood must be faced that children will
turn to gangs, experiment with drugs, or engage in other self -
destructive forms of behavior.
In a 1992 Los Angeles Times report, it was stated: "In the
60's and 60's, when many of today's parents were children,
leisure time activities flourished in California. There were
sports programs sponsored by police, athletic competitions in
public parks, arts and crafts in city recreation centers, drama
productions in community theaters, and story hours at public
libraries. Some of these activities still exist. But since
Prop. 13 was enacted in 1978, youth services throughout Los
Angeles have seriously deteriorated."
• The report goes on to state statistics from LA County, but
parallel declines in funding do exist in Newport's history.
Youth services have been cut, public libraries are not open as
long, the parks have lost recreation directors with resulting
fewer programs, and employees have been cut out of every level.
page 1
The trend has been to eliminate recreation specialists from local
• park systems, resulting in parks which, without ongoing
programming and scheduled activities, then become hangouts for
the homeless, sanctuaries for street people, marketplaces for
drugs and crime, and hangouts and recruitment centers for gangs.
Too often, neighbors have begun to regard parks as a community
liability rather than an asset. Does this sound familiar to
Newport too? I think so.
One area that was stressed was forging partnerships between
Recreation Services and the school system, health care agencies,
local businesses, homeless advocacy care groups, the harbor
department, and even developers. (Interesting that this list
came originally from the City of Toronto.) LA County officials
emphasized the strong relationship between the availability of
good recreation programs and crime prevention. Their police
department has come to this conclusion also. Recreation is a
cost - effective crime prevention strategy.
There is a measurement called the "Healthy Cities" concept,
which has been developed from the National Recreation and Parks
Association and from the Trust for Public Land. It shows that 10
acres of urban parks for every 1,000 residents is a healthy
formula. (Newport is well below that, and I think Orange County
requires of new developments, such as Down Coast, only 5 acres.)
LA County Parks annual revenue sources include:
• fees and charges ($11.8 million)
contractual revenue (golf concessions and facility
rentals) ($13.3 million)
grants, fund raising, gifts and bequests, friends and
support groups ($3.5 million)
sponsorships and grants ($1.18 million)
in -kind donations ($1.8 million)
special events ($600,000)
Cost savings and efficiencies have included contracting out
grounds maintenance service, pursuing the court referral program
and adding to the volunteer program. One sad side note on the
list of cost savings was that they also listed transferring the
maintenance of ten parks to other cities and jurisdictions and
roadside trees to another County department. Savings for parks,
and recreation, but an additional burden for others!
The City of Glendale recently reviewed about 125 ideas
principally generated from city employees regarding increasing
efficiency, generating new revenue sources, enhancing cost
recovery efforts or shifting costs to other entities. Some ideas
related to: obtaining funding from outside sources, refining
processes, increasing fees and creating new use permits, and
utilizing some innovative ideas. Also emphasized were an
increased use of qualified volunteers, non - monetary citizen
• donations, selling park names, renting out more city facilities,
renting out city -owned equipment, using city -owned land for
seasonal outdoor sales, adopt a street / tree / hydrant programs,
offering revenue - producing programs such as "music in the
library" and "coffeehouse evening in the library," and developing
page 2
M
additional revenue - creating facilities such as a golf driving
• range. I have the complete list, if you would like to read it.
Glendale employees also brainstormed ideas to control
expenditures and reduce costs. A lot had to do with coordination
city -wide of purchasing, contracting out many services, and
planting low maintenance trees and flowering shrubs (instead of
bedding plants that died seasonally.)
During the discussion, it was the staff from the City of
Glendale that first emphasized that Recreation is a Business and
must be treated accordingly. They operate according to their
business plan., with strategies for improving resource use,
reducing expenditures and increasing revenues. Although
recreation used to be measured only with subjective criteria,
nowadays objective criteria reflect those subjective
measurements. Operating without planning is not operating at
peak efficiency and is a luxury that we no longer have.
LA County is also actively searching out commercial co-
sponsorships. They are already dealing with Naya Water Company
to be their official drinking water, Dominos Industries to
operate pizza vending machines, Water World USA out of Sacramento
to build a theme park at Castaic Lake, toy prize vending
machines, soda pop vending machines, and a communications company
for outdoor advertising at selected county parks. Bingo and
additional• site rentals are also being considered.
• You have heard some of my ideas about recreation as a
business when we discussed the quarterly recreation brochure and
how it is our most valuable marketing tool. Again, most of the
Commission is already very much aware that we must promote our
revenue - producing capabilities. At the Workshop it was
interesting to hear of the recreational needs of communities
across Southern California, and hear of how some of those
communities are actively taking strides to meet those needs in
new and creative ways. Of course, each community's solutions
must fit each community. But, it is in attending Workshops and
Conferences that we can all pick up those initial ideas to later
modify and personalize. (I will share all materials that I
brought home.)

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM N0.
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: LaDonna Kienitz, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Castaways Active Park
• Recommendation:
Maintain the existing plans, consistent with the CIOSA Agreement, for dedication
of 4.8 acres of active park on Upper Castaways.
or
Accept offer of The Irvine Company to fund a study of an alternative concept plan
moving the active park site from Upper Castaways to Lower Castaways.
Mayor Hedges has requested staff place an item on the Council agenda to discuss a
proposal of The Irvine Company. Pursuant to Council Policy A -6, this item has
been prepared for City Council review and consideration. Specifically, The Irvine
Company has proposed that the City modify its current approval of a park on the
Upper Castaways site, permitting 29 additional homes in its place, and dedicating
to the City the Lower Castaways site for a park. The Company has indicated that
the cost for the additional study not exceed $2,500.
is
pro
• Discussion:
I. Relocation of the Active Park from Upper Castaways to Lower Castaways
would necessitate the following action due to approval of the current plans
in 1992 and 1994:
• General Plan Amendment for Lower Castaways
• Local Coastal Program Amendment for Lower Castaways
• Amendment of the Castaways Marina P -C Text (Zoning Amendment)
II. Elimination of Active Park on Upper Castaways would require:
• Amendment of the CIOSA Agreement (Exhibits D,E,H)
(Reduce dedication requirement on Upper Castaways and add new
Lower Castaways dedication.)
• Amendment of P -C Text (Zoning Amendment)
• Amendment of Tentative Map
III. Additional residential on Upper Castaways requires traffic analysis and
environmental study, Section 6..2, CIOSA Agreement, due to increase in
• trips from detached housing ( CIOSA traffic study assumed attached
housing) - if total units generate more than 133 trips.
IV. Local Coastal Program Amendment and Amendment to CIOSA
Agreement require the approval of the California Coastal Commission.
• The Lower Castaways site is currently designated as Recreational and
Marine Commercial on both the General Plan Land Use Element and
the Local Coastal Program, Land Use Plan. The only permitted land use
is the approved marina project. Use of this property for a neighborhood
activity park may raise Coastal Act issues by the Coastal Commission.
A marina is a highest priority use under the provisions of the Coastal
Act. It is considered to be a "coastal- dependent" land use. That is, it is
a use which must be on the water in order to function at all. A
neighborhood park is not a priority use under the Coastal Act. In fact, as
a resident serving facility, it could be viewed as a residentially - related
use, and residential uses are the wet priority use under the Coastal
Act.
11
If the Coastal Commission and/or its staff views the neighborhood as
resident - serving facility, it may be difficult to gain the necessary
approvals to implement the park project.
V. Considerations on the Active Park -
Use of U12-12er Castaways
• Concept design of park formally approved by Parks, Beaches and
Recreation Commission.
• Initiation of RFP for land architectural work has begun.
• Additional parking in area, available on 16th Street.
• Development meets time line requirement to permit the park grading to
be undertaken at the same time as tract grading. Cost savings to City
anticipated.
• A delay or hold on completion of landscape design work will likely
result in park completion after completion of first phases of homes.
City's goal had been to have active park in place when Upper Castaways
houses are ready for move in.
• Park site is immediately adjacent to the rear of single family homes with
accompanying noise issues.
Use of Lower Castaways
• Flat usable are is ±3.5 acres which is smaller than the 4.8 acres of Upper
Castaways site.
• Due to lower elevation of site and no immediate proximity or adjacency
by residential units, more intense use of the property may be possible
including night time use with lights.
• Access to the site requires significant slope grading, retaining wall.
• More parking must be provided on site; no on- street areas for "spill
over" parking.
• The City's landscape architectural work, review process and
construction bidding may extend beyond the time when grading and
construction is scheduled to begin in the Castaways Tract, requiring
mobilization twice on the site.
• Grading and retaining issues may result in higher construction costs for
park.
•
4
• VI. Recommendation of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
• This item is on the agenda of the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission for December 6, 1994. A recommendation will be
provided to the Council from that meeting.
VII. Timing/Community Input
If the City Council wishes to explore option of Lower Castaways
through a study, it may wish to direct staff to continue active design of
Upper Castaways to keep goal of park opening simultaneous with home
move -in on track. If after study this switch is declined, the development
of Upper Castaways would remain on its present timeline.
Inasmuch as there was extensive input sought by The Irvine Company
on the Castaways site plan, the City Council may wish to direct staff to
discuss the proposed switch with community members in surrounding
areas, including Clifthaven, ,Bayshores, Dover Shores and Westcliff
prior to or in conjunction with a study of this option.

Commission is already very much aware that we must promote our
revenue - producing capabilities. At the Workshop it was
interesting to hear of the recreational needs of communities
across Southern California, and hear of how some of those
communities are actively taking strides to meet those needs in
new and creative ways. Of course, each community "s solutions
must fit each community. But, it is in attending Workshops and
Conferences that we can all pick up those initial ideas to later
modify and personalize. (I will share all materials that I
brought home.)

Newport Beach, Calif. 92658 Re./ The Castaways Development
Ladies and Gentlemen...
For several reasons it would make more sense to combine
the two Park areas now planned for the Castaway Site to one looation in the lower
area.
This would eliminate the neoeeeary playground mound attenuating requirements for
the Homes adjacent to the separate Park which is now indicated across from the
Church at the corner of 16th and Dover Drive.
Such a change would eliminate added traffic congestion near the Church, especially
to on Sunday when the Playground would be,hemvily used.
The additional Homes possible with ouch a change would provide more revenue for
the City.
Awing the lark and Playground combined into one location would no doubt reduce
development and construction coats for the City.
Such a change would benefit all Parties concerned...

Members of the Committee...
I have no iron to grind, environmental or other -wise
with respect to the Castaways Park development other than trying to get the beet
plan for the City considc:ing all facts fiat should be analyzed.
- • In addition to the above points if it is located at the original plan location
along the traffic loaded Dover Drive, how would the City prevent some erratic or
errant baseball or soccer ball from ending up on Dover Drive and then in the process
of retrieving such equipment some kid is injured or worse killed in the ,process and
the City is faced with another taw Suitil I don't think that the lose of a small
amount of ground would offset such a possible tragedy.
