DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS
Director Knight announced that item 4 — Reconsideration of the Restriction of Parking Cars on the
South Side of Old Ford Road adjacent to Bonita Canyon Sports Park would be pulled from the agenda.
She noted that after talking to the Traffic Engineers it was decided that this item really needs to go to
the Traffic Affairs Committee because it involves safety and traffic related issues that need to be
discussed within the committee and is not appropriate to come to the Commission. She stated that
Transportation/ Development Manager Rich Edmonston is here for any question but that the item would
be pulled.
Commissioner Lugar asked how the Traffic Affairs Committee is apprised.
Mr. Edmonton stated that the Committee is comprised of himself, the Assistant City Manager Dave Kiff,
and a Lieutenant from the Traffic Division of the Police Department.
Director Knight stated that the Winter Wonderland held in December was very successful with over 2700
people in attendance at Bonita Creek Park and a successful trip to the Rose Parade with 4 full buses to
cheer on in the wet weather the City's entry in to the Rose Parade and announced that it won the
Lathrop K. Leishman award for Most Beautiful - Non Commercial float. She also stated that the CPRS
Conference would be held on March 16 -18 in Ontario, CA and asked if anyone wanted to attend to
please let staff know as registration would be covered.
Director Harmon introduced Administrative Analyst Chris Marcarello as a new member of the General
Services staff to the Commission.

2. Park and Tree Division Activity Report. Jan Vandersloot complimented the City and staff for not
removing very many trees over the past year and for the root pruning of 743 trees and by continuing
this more trees will be preserved.
3. Recreation & Senior Services Activity Report. Commissioner Garrett asked how long has Rent -
A -Santa been going on and asked if the Santa's are contract instructors or staff.
Director Knight stated that it has been going on for over 20 years and over the past several
years had to limit it to just City residents because of the demand for the program. She also
noted that contract staff are used to play Santa.
Motion by Commissioner to accept items 2 and 3 of the Consent Calendar. Motion carried by
acclamation.
NEW BUSINESS
4. Reconsideration of the Restriction of Parking Cars on the South Side of Old Ford Road adjacent
to Bonita Canyon Sports Park - Pulled by staff as noted above.
5. City Street Tree Designation - Parks & Tree Superintendent Sereno stated that request tonight is to
approve the Magnolia Tree (Magnolia grandiflora) as the newly designated street tree for Dover
Drive, between West Pacific Coast Highway and Westcliff Drive. He stated that the staff report
outlines those reasons but noted that of the 22 Coral Gum trees planted in 1997, that many
have been replaced over the last four years because they have died or failed to grow. Staff
believes that these trees are not adapting to this coastal climate zone. Staff has tried several
methods to ensure survival of these trees including injecting fertilizer and pesticides into the
ground surrounding the root balls, as well as adding supplemental water during the warm
months. He noted that many have been topped and are now bent over. He stated that Mayor
Don Webb requested to meet staff onsite to determine if a change of the designated street tree
was required due to the failure of the Coral Gum trees and to recommend the Magnolia tree as
the new designated street tree.
Commissioner Doby asked if the idea for the street tree designation is so there are fuller, larger
trees.
Superintendent Sereno stated yes.
Commissioner Garrett stated that it was his understanding that that you can get a Eucalyptus
tree to grown almost anywhere and asked why they are failing at this location.
Superintendent Sereno stated that these trees they have been subjected to lerps which have
caused them to fail, injections were done along with soil probing but in this area the trees just
are not doing well.
Commissioner Brown asked what size tree would be used.
Superintendent Sereno stated that there would be 36" and several 48" boxed trees.

Chair Ruzicka opened the Dublic discussion
Jan Vandersloot stated that he had been at a Commission meeting 7 years ago when this issue was
brought up because the original tree for that area was the Jacaranda tree and on a 4 to 3 vote it
was decided to go with a Coral Gum to keep the train of the Eucalyptus trees that are behind that
area. He recommended the Jacaranda tree be the designated street tree but noted that his wife
likes the Magnolia tree.
Chair Ruzicka closed the public discussion
Motion by Commission Allen to designate the Magnolia Tree (Magnolia grandiflora) as the newly
designated street tree for Dover Drive, between West Pacific Coast Highway and Westcliff
Drive. Motion carried by acclamation.
6. Reforestation Request - Director Harmon stated as part of the presentation staff had requested
Cameo Shores HOA present a brief PowerPoint to the Commission.
Chair Ruzicka asked how long the presentation would last.
Discussion ensued regarding the length of the presentation; Commissioner Brown stated that he
wanted to hear the entire presentation.
John Lungren, Past President of Cameo Shores HOA presented a 15 minute presentation and urged
the Commission to approve the reforestation request.
Commissioner Lugar asked why a landscape plan was not included in the Commission packet and
noted that it was hard to vote on something that does not have all the information and stated that
he has many questions.
Chair Ruzicka stated that during the intervening period has anyone been responsible for pruning the
bushes and ivy that are clearly out of control.
Jeff Cole stated that the property was originally deeded to the City 20 years ago and that
technically the City is responsible for that property, but that the community took it upon
themselves to irrigate the property as well as maintaining the entrances. He went on to say that the
City has been trimming the trees over the years and that possibly the overgrown area is "no mans
land" but technically the City is responsible for all of it.
Chair Ruzicka opened the public discussion
Jan Vandersloot stated that he has some of the same questions as Commissioner Lugar specifically
what are we getting with the reforestation. He stated that he did not know if everyone has been
happy with the performance of the Hong Kong Orchid and that it really has not been a very good
performer for the City and that normally in a reforestation the trees are replaced with a City
designated street tree. He suggested using a bigger tree then the Hong Kong Orchid 24" boxed trees
as they are slow in growing and do not look good during certain parts of the year. He stated that
even though the Coral tree is on the problem tree list it should not mean that it should be removed
and suggested retaining those 13 Coral trees. He questioned why all 41 trees have to be removed
and why they would replace them with a little bitty pygmy of a Hong Kong Orchid that looks

Regular Meeting

Page 4
scraggly most of the year. He seconded Commissioner Lugar's comments and noted that more
information is needed.
Chair Ruzicka stated that he noticed that some of the Eucalyptus trees from the photographs are at
least 80 feet high and stated his concern of replacing them with a 36" boxed tree and that they
would not become factor of blocking views in our lifetime. He asked if there had been any
consideration made of potentially planting more substantive trees that would fill the void.
Jeff Cole stated that the HOA was given the direction by staff to replace them with that size and
were told that this is what was preferred by replacing them with 24" to 36" boxed trees alternating
them with Hong Kong Orchids and King Palms. He stated that the HOA agreed to this but that the
architect would be open to something more significant and mature and stated that they were not
stuck on those trees but were given that direction.
Chair Ruzicka asked if the specific type of tree was mandated.
Director Harmon stated that it is not mandated and certainly could be a Commission decision if they
wanted to redesignate the tree species for that area. That it is within the Commission's right to do
that but the Hong Kong Orchid and the King Palm are the designated tree for that area.
Chair Ruzicka stated that he is not that adamant about the kind of tree but noted his concern about
the specific replacement size. He asked what specific size a tree has to be before they become a
view impairment.
Commissioner Allen stated that he disagreed with Director Harmon in that the Commission can
redesignate a street tree as that is a Council function. She went on to say that the Commission can
recommend a change in the designated street tree but the Council actually has to make that
decision. She stated that the issue of view is that the way the G -1 Policy is written is when you
have a incorporated community homeowner association with a board of directors. And then that
board of directors come in with a plan under G -1 that meets the criteria of G -1 and in other words
they community has been notified and gone through its process and makes application to the City
for reforestation of trees at their own expense that she believes that the Commission learned in the
last go around that the Commission does not have the jurisdiction to tell the HOA that they must
put in 36" boxed trees and the G -1 calls for 24" and we do not have jurisdiction over how tall they
are either. She went on to say that however having said that if the Association is willing to put in
larger trees that is certainly something that the Commission should be appreciative of but is
reluctant to have the Commission violate the G -1 policy by mandating a taller tree.
Chair Ruzicka stated that he understands and respects that position but was just curious if the
Association if the aesthetics of the project could be enhanced by using taller or bigger trees.
Jeff Cole stated that the community is even more sensitive then even the Commission when it
comes to how it looks and acknowledge that those are tall trees and want them to be replaced with
mature trees as Long as those trees won't become a view impairment in the next 10 to 15 years and
along those lines they are looking for some guidance about that because if the Association is not
limited to the City designate tree then there might be another alternative.
Chair Ruzicka stated that Commissioner Allen just made the point that the Commission cannot
dictate what you do but if you voluntarily do it then the Commission will not impede that request.

Commissioner Allen stated that a problem might occur if they decide that they do not want to put
in the City designated tree but however since they have an agreement that must be approved by
the City Council and working with the City Attorney regarding language then they might on their
own work through those channel with the Council to get some kind of exception for this project
because it's an approved revitalization or beautification project.
Discussion ensued regarding the project and the look and expense of the community.
Director Harmon stated that the reforestation was done correctly and that they have acted in good
faith with all the particulars of the project and noted that the community will not only plant 1 for 1
tree but will do more when space allows.
Commissioner Garrett stated that the Commission needs to be cognizant of peoples feelings in the
neighborhood and that this HOA has taken a lot of time to complete this project.
Karen Tringalli urged support of the project but was a little concerned with the notification.
Jeff Cole stated that Karen Tringlalli is actually the web master for the association and knows that
the monthly newsletter has discussed this project every month for the past 2 years the only thing
that is a little wrong is the number of trees as that was not known until a count was done and it is
41.
Chair Ruzicka closed the public discussion
Motion by Commissioner Garrett the reforestation of 41 City parkway trees that border the
Cameo Association along East Coast Highway from Cameo Shores entrance to the intersection of
Milford Drive and Hampden Road. Motion carried by acclamation.
Facility Inspection Report - Director Knight stated at that last meeting it was asked that this item
be brought back for discussion and have included for your information is both those inspection
reports that have been turned in this year as well as last years report because some Commissioners
had indicated that they did not recall reviewing it. The discussion for tonight is whether or not the
Commission want to continue being a part of the inspection or leave it to staff. Director Knight
stated that staff finds it helpful and crucial for the operation and provides a new set of eyes to the
facilities, different perspective but does realize that some of the Commission have been on the
board for many years may have tired of this process but restated that they are very helpful to staff.
Director Knight stated that this year to supplement those that were turned in, was to send staff out
to complete because this is the time of the year that CIP Projects Requests must be turned in.
Commissioner Garrett stated that he agrees with staff and is in the business of property and
facility maintenance and management business and so the adage of another set of eyes is true,
but he believes that the form needs to be revised and that the time of year could be changed.
He went on to say that the Department does have staff who are out there all the time and
added that he is unsure how a system could be put in place that would work for everybody. He
went on to say that he agrees that there is value to inspect the properties but the system needs
to be revamped and would like to see if the inspections could be done and then a follow up in
six months and does not believe that has been done in the past.

Director Knight stated that she had one exception and with all due respect have to differ about
the size of the staff and noted that Recreation does not have a large staff but have increased
programming almost 10 fold in the last several years and went on to say that staff does not have
a lot of time to do inspecting and many of the staff in the general services area are contract
staff and quite frankly cannot rely on them to give an accurate perspective. Director Knight
stated that some changes could be made and willing to look at the form and follow -up.
Chair Ruzicka asked if the inspection area could be situated around where they reside.
Director Knight stated that could be a factor but that her understanding of the background of
these inspections was that they are also to help commissioners become more familiar with other
areas in the community, but possibly staff needs to do a better job in shuffling. She noted that
if they would prefer as a Commission that staff could locate inspection areas closer to their own
homes.
Commissioner Tobin stated that he is not in the facilities management business and that there
appears to be a more than adequate number of staff and that they should be in the filed quite
often including the Park Patrol and does not feel that it is in the Commissioner job description
to go flush toilets and observe different restrooms around the community and noted that he had
seen them all and it is a repetition of futility. He went on to say that Director Knight has enough
staff and that they should not ask the commission to inspect.
Chair Ruzicka asked staff to come up with different suggestions and new forms for next year.
Commissioner Garrett stated that he has yet to find one facility that is in dire need and that
everything seems to be in good condition and noted that someone is doing the job somewhere
along the line because there is nothing out there that requires emergency service. He went on
to say that it begins to feel like there really is nothing wrong.
Director Ruzicka stated that most municipalities would be thrilled to have their facilities look
this good.
Director Knight stated the Commission should keep in mind that it is not only maintenance issue
and that we are maintaining the facilities in good standard and that staff sees these facilities
every day and is helpful to have others look view them from an aesthetic perspective as
members of the community. She noted that the City will be embarking overall on assessing all
facilities and that the City does not have a facility replacement fund and that there is no money
going toward the replacement and many have been here for many years and are in need of
refurbishment.
Discussion ensued. It was decided that the form would be revised and that areas would be
assigned to area around their homes.

Park Development - Commissioner Allen will serve as chair. No meetings are scheduled for January.

acceptable standards.
5. In coordination with the Arizona Pipeline, Inc. work at Irvine Terrace Park, new play
equipment has been installed at the site as well. Having both operations occur
simultaneously minimized the parks downtime.
6. New plantings were installed at Miramar and Balboa Blvd., Inspiration Point, and the
Fernleaf ramp in Corona del Mar. The projects turned out nicely, and were all well
received.
• 7. The extensive length of wood railing at Castaways Park and the Castaways Blufftop Trail
were cleaned and restained, for both appearance and to extend the life of the railing.
Upcoming Activities for February
• 1. The planting of replacement shrubs and ground cover will continue Citywide.
2. Parks Maintenance Division staff will continue coordinating the control of
rodents with contract services.
3. The Arroyo Park Eagle Scout Project involving the renovation work on a section
of decomposed granite walkway, installation of a wood bench and native plants
will be completed.
'Nees Division Activities
During the month of January, 740 trees were trimmed, 13 trees were planted, 5 trees were
removed (3 Claim Related and 2 Problem Tree), and crews responded to 12 emergency tree
calls related to a wind storm. Additionally, the Commission approved a reforestation
submitted by Cameo Community Association to remove 41 City of Newport Beach trees
along East Coast Highway, adjacent to the community which will involve installation of a
wall and landscape improvements.
1. The City's tree trimming contractor, West Coast Arborists, is currently pruning trees
within the Spyglass Hills, Santa Ana Heights and Westeliff areas as part of the City's
overall grid trimming schedule.
• 2. Since July 2004, under City Council direction and funding, staff has undertaken an
extensive root pruning effort. Combined efforts of the Field Maintenance, Tree
Maintenance Division, and West Coast Arborists staffs have resulted in the root
pruning of 768 trees to date. This effort will mitigate any potential property damage
as a result of City tree roots and provide for tree longevity in the urban forest. The
extensive work included root pruning, root barrier installation, and hardscape repairs
at each tree site.
3. The attached Tree Activity Report summarizes requests and field activities performed
during the past month.
Beach Maintenance Activities
The last of the three extreme high tide series that occur during the winter season has passed
without any significant incidents. Tides reached 7' 2" and 7' 4" on Saturday the 28th and
Sunday the 29th, respectively, Although the tides measured 3" above what was predicted, it
is a decrease from last year's heights measuring in excess of 1' above the tide charts. Last
year's 8'+ tide heights resulted in street flooding and beach erosion.
In addition, at this time last year, the City had received 20" of rain in comparison to just 2"
this year. The next series of 7'+ tides will be in early July, which will provide Beach and
Storm Drain Maintenance staff time to catch up on pulling back wind blown sand from in
• front of oceanfront homes, sidewalks, and bikeways, paint beach area trash bins and catching
up on deferred maintenance on the tidal valve system.
See attached General Services Department, Activities Report for December 2005.

Dan P. Sereno

Creek Park softball fields. The next 10 months of the 2006 year will have thousands of games
played on pristine, leveled and manicured fields!
The Parks Division has been hard at work with their contractor preparing Othe Arroyo and Bonita
Creek soccer fields ready for spring season. The recent winter rain followed by sunshine has
"greened" up the fields quickly!
The Youth Sports Groups have also been repair fields as well. Newport Beach Little League did work
at Lincoln, Buffalo Hills, San Miguel and Bonita Canyon 1,2 and 3 fields. Their work includes adding
clay to infields, seeding infields, repairing bull pens and pitcher mounds, installing helmet trees

SENIOR SERVICES
To: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
From: Celeste Jardine -Haug, Senior Services Manager
Re: Recreation Division Monthly Activities Report
Back from the Holidays - After surviving the holidays, staff is putting the Center back together and
classes and activities are back in session. As with every year, we begin to hear from family
members about their concern for their older relatives. When they come to visit for the holidays,
they realize some of the problems their relative is having. Luckily staff is prepared to help by
providing resources and helping them think through solutions to problems.
Casino Night Planning - Staff and volunteers are currently meeting to begin the planning process
for the upcoming Casino Night on March 25. The Friends will participate by calling on businesses to
donate items for silent auction and raffles. Money raised by this activity will go to the Friends.
Friday Afternoon Dances - The Dances sponsored by the Friends of OASIS once a month have
continued to draw a crowd that fills the dance floor enough to make it worth the cost of the band.
• Transportation Program - The transportation program continues to be a busy and supported by
many entities. This past month one very generous member read an article in the Daily Pilot about
the program and felt that some might not be able the small $2 fee for the trip. He came forward
and donated enough money to allow the coordinator of the program to give very low income
participants a free ride card. If this works well, he is willing to continue making donations in order
to help those who are of low income. We greatly appreciate the generosity of this gentleman who
did not want any special recognition.
Bowers Museum - Bowers Museum had a Docent Speaker make a presentation on Tibet, an
Introduction to Shangri -La on Thursday, January 26. Chuck Leibelt included information on
geography, religion and culture. The presentation was provided free of charge.
Over 80's Party - Anyone who is over 80 years old got the chance to celebrate their age by
attending our OVER 80's BIRTHDAY PARTY held January 25. These selected few enjoyed music from
Mike McCaffrey Trio and cake and ice cream. This year we had 170.
UCI Lecture - This month's UCI lecture topic was very appropriate for this time of year. "LOSE THE
POUNDS ". Dr. Andrea Avery discussed the fact that obesity in the United States has risen at an
epidemic rate during the past 20 years. She discussed factors that contribute to obesity and
strategies to safely reduce weight. This informative lecture was held January 27.

• Agenda Item No 4
February 16, 2006
Recreation & Senior Services Department
TO: Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
FROM: Marie Knight, Director
SUBJECT: Amenity Replacement at Corona del Mar (CdM) State Beach
RECOMMENDATION
1. In accordance with Council Resolution 92 -93 the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission
(PB &R) has final approval on placement of volleyball courts on the beach. Staff recommends
that the Commission adopt the attached plan (Attachment F) for beach amenity replacement at
CdM State Beach.
2. Recommend that Commission forward draft Resolution 06 -_ (Attachment G), rescinding
Resolution 92 -93 and 99 -55 (Attachment G) reflecting the new plan for beach amenities of the
CdM State Beach and other minor clean -up changes.
BACKGROUND
The recent construction project at CdM State Beach has temporarily displaced some of the
• volleyball courts and fire rings. When the refurbishment project is complete, there will be no net loss
of sand area. However, the configuration of the hardscape will be different, which necessitates a
reconfiguration of the volleyball courts.
Staff from Fire Department Lifeguard Division, General Services Beach Cleaning Crew, Public
Works, and Recreation Division have met to discuss potential replacement scenarios for the
amenities. In looking at the possibilities, safety was the number one consideration. In addition, other
factors need to be addressed, such as:
•
access for emergency vehicles
•
maintenance
•
crowd control
•
the beach is intended to be enjoyed each year by hundreds of thousands of people and that
final plans must accommodate all beach - goers, rather than one special interest group.
Staff concludes that the following items must be included in any plan:
1.
Due to Coastal Commission regulations, the City must replace all the amenities that were on
the beach prior to construction, specifically - 10 volleyball courts and 36 fire rings. Any
change to this number will require a change to the Coastal Development Permit and a
hearing process with the Coastal Commission.
2.
Areas in front of any pedestrian or vehicle access -ways through the planned seat -wall must
be kept open and free of obstruction for emergency lifeguard vehicles, beach maintenance
vehicles, and pedestrian traffic.
3.
Emergency vehicles and personnel should have open access and pathways to travel from
the Lifeguard Headquarters to the fire rings, as well as to any lifeguard tower along the
•
beach.
4.
For safety purposes, no volleyball courts should be placed directly in front of any lifeguard
tower.
5.
No fire rings placed next to lifeguard towers.
Beach Amenity Replacement at Corona del Mar (CdM) State Beach
Page 2
• 6. To insure safe passage during all tides, volleyball courts must be placed well behind the
trash can line so there is ample room for sunbathers and emergency vehicles to pass along
the beach.
7. There must be a minimum of four courts together for Recreation Classes which are
very popular and enjoy a resident participation of over 80 %.
In addition to the above mentioned conditions, several other factors were taken into consideration in
the creation of these plans:
• This is a State Beach, and as such needs to serve the greater interest of a statewide
community, including, but certainly not limited to Newport Beach residents.
• The volleyball courts need to be a safe distance from the fire rings.
• All the fire rings need to be kept in one location.
• When the number of fire rings was reduced during construction, the lifeguards saw a
dramatic increase in the number of problems they had to mitigate, such as too many people
crowded around one fire ring, arguments and disputes over the rights to use, etc...
• Volleyball courts are not compatible next to the sea wall.
• Volleyball courts and fire rings should be close to restrooms.
• Lifeguards are often asked to mitigate disputes between the general public and the
"volleyball regulars" over use of the courts.
• Many folks who visit this beach are not aware that they need to provide their own net.
• Both the fire rings and volleyball courts enjoy popularity and are equally important in the
provision of a positive beach experience.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
•
Based on these factors, staff developed five plans for amenity replacement that meet safety,
maintenance and crowd concerns for the beach. These plans were presented at a public outreach
meeting on January 18 conducted by the Recreation Activities Committee.
Approximately 90 people were in attendance at this meeting with 18 speaking during the public
discussion portion of the meeting. The following is a summary of the comments made that were
most often repeated:
• Remove the fire rings all together.
• Remove the fourth row of fire rings and place them near the restrooms.
• Smoke from the fire rings is a health hazard.
• Since no one is here asking to keep the fire rings, why do we.
• Additional courts should be added to the far eastern portion of the beach.
• Consider adding more than 10 volleyball courts.
• The "sticker bushes' in the far eastern part of the beach area should be cut back, as they
have been allowed to encroach too far onto the beach area.
• More sand should be brought in with the existing sand cleaned after the construction project.
• Volleyball courts should be positioned in a row as opposed to a tandem configuration to help
keep the sense of "community" the players have grown accustom to over the years.
• This beach is not as heavily used as is being portrayed and the plans presented are
accommodating only the "busy months" which are only two or three months out of the year.
More consideration should be given to the "regular" volleyball players who use the site year -
round.

• REVISED PLAN
Based on input received from the Recreation Activities Committee meeting, staff met again onsite to
look at potential plans for amenity placement and met with Commissioner Tim Brown (Recreation
Activities Committee Chair) to come up with a final plan that should meet the needs of the safety
personnel as well as be responsive to most of the concerns raised at the Committee meeting. Since
the meeting on January 18, numerous residents have also expressed concern that there would be
future discussion regarding the removal of the fire rings and noted their opposition to the removal of
any fire rings and conversely expressed that there are many volleyball courts and not enough fire
rings. Staff is submitting the attached plan for the Commissions review and approval which will
allow for the following:
• That the number of volleyball courts remain at 10 and fire rings at 36.
• That volleyball nets be provided on a permanent basis and will be replaced by staff as
needed.
• That one court could be added to the far eastern end of the beach. It is staffs professional
opinion, that there is not enough room on the end of the beach to add more than one court
as it has become VERY popular with local residents for sunbathing.
• Four courts in a row will allow for the City Recreation classes.
• The remaining three courts are in close proximity to the rest.
• All pedestrian and emergency vehicle access ways are protected.
• Lifeguard vehicles will have direct access from Headquarters to the fire rings, towers, and
across the beach.
• The landscaping on the far eastern end of the beach will be trimmed back to the property
line
• This plan does not include placing all of the volleyball courts, with the exception of the three located
on the far eastern end, in a row together. To do that would block too many pedestrian and vehicle
access points. In addition, lifeguards who work at this beach have stated that in the past when 8
courts were placed in a row, it created a problem for beach goers who needed to travel from their
blankets to the restrooms or parking lot and were forced to walk around the line of courts rather than
take a more direct route.
Staff feels that another positive aspect to this plan is that it will allow for future expansion of
amenities on the far north end of the beach should that happen in the future. This area could be
used for additional volleyball courts, fire rings, or even a playground structure. For the time being
however, staff does not propose any additional amenities and feel that it is best to work with the new
beach configuration and amenity placement for a year and study use patterns before any additional
amenities are considered. However, this plan could allow for additional temporary courts to to be
used for special events, such as a volleyball tournament.
OVERALL BEACH USE
Staff believes it is important that the overall use of this beach on a day to day basis be addressed. In
fiscal year 2004/05 over 375,000 people visited this beach. The Lifeguard Services Division begins
staffing this beach on April 1 and are onsite until after Labor Day. These months are considered to
be the busy season throughout the community. However, no areas are more impacted than our
beaches. So yes, some decisions regarding amenities, parking, services, etc... are based on the
fact that Newport Beach is a tourist destination community and it would be irresponsible not to plan
• for the busy seasons that impact us
Beach Amenity Replacement at Corona del Mar (CdM) State Beach
Page 4
• Attached are several photos of this beach taken this past summer on a non - holiday weekend. As
you can see, there are very few places on the beach that are unoccupied. Photo B shows the
south end of the beach, please note the high amount of use in this area. If a fourth court were
added to this area, there is no doubt it would impede the public use of the beach.
Finally, it is important to note that for the most part, and yes, there are always exceptions, the folks
who re ulad play volleyball on these courts do so on the weekends and summer evenings. They,
by their own admission, do not frequent the beach much during the day in the summer as it is too
crowded. If they did they would observe that there are anywhere from 3 to 7 day camps set up in
locations up and down the beach on any given day, many of which set up behind the trash can line
as it is away from the crowds and makes it easier to manage and supervise children. The presence
of these camps dramatically changes the use patterns of the beach during the week versus the
weekend and this must be taken into consideration.
We make these points in response to the many comments received at the Recreation Activities
Committee meeting stating that the beach does not get as crowded as staff contends, and that the
courts could be moved farther away from the seat walls and onto the main area of the beach. Staff
highly disagrees, and believe that the best location for the courts, when taking into consideration
ALL of the beach users, is closer to the seat walls.
