Marina Hills | News & Updates

Newport opened its very own Farmers’ Market at the Lido Marina Village on Sunday, July 11th. The market will open every Sunday from 9 am-1pm showcasing the freshest fruits and vegetables directly from the best local farmers California has to offer – as well as fresh flowers and other traditional farmers’ market fare.

The market is supported by the Newport City Council and sponsored by Sprouts of Promise Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit focused on the education of healthy eating habits, and managed by an experienced Southern California farmer.

At the March meeting, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to remove 328 trees, as part of the extensive landscape renovation program involving the removal and replacement of the balance of dead Myroporum on the common area slope throughout the community. The basis for the selected tree removal include trees that were leaning and appear weak and ready to fall; diseased trees; trees with broken/split trunks that may represent a danger of falling and trees that are so grouped together as to impede each other’s growth. Many of the trees that were removed had been damaged (cracked trunks, uplifted roots, and so forth) by the high winds we experienced this Winter/Spring, and hence posed a potential hazard. There are currently over 5,000 trees throughout Marina Hills. The 328 selected trees were evaluated and recommended for removal by the arborist retained by Villa Park Landscape. Prior to the review by the landscape committee and Management, 42 of the selected trees were removed on the Marina Hills Drive slope. These trees are scheduled to be replaced by 14 different type of trees together with new plant material. All remaining selected trees will be reviewed and re-evaluated prior to any further removal. It is not expected that all of the 328 selected trees will be removed. Once the selected trees are removed each affected area will be evaluated as to the number and appropriate type of tree replacement. The trees to be removed will be reviewed prior to replanting the slopes. Affected homeowners will be given advance notice prior to removal of selected trees. The Board understands that our landscaping represents one of Marina Hills’ most important assets and that any proposed modification will always be made with the goal of maintaining and improving this vital feature of our community. If you have any questions regarding the tree issue, please contact Kim Hockings at (949) 838-3250 or by email at khockings@keystonepacific.com.

Tennis Court Cleaning Reminder

Tennis courts #1-3 are cleaned by Aqua Pure on Mondays between 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. and courts #4-6 are cleaned on Wednesdays between 11:00 A.M.—2:00 P.M. As a courtesy to all tennis players, if there are players on a court when Aqua Pure arrives to clean the courts, they will start on whatever courts that are due to be cleaned that day that are unoccupied. If all the courts are occupied, the patrol officer will have to ask players to move to a different court and Aqua Pure will clean the courts in numerical order. Aqua Pure is instructed to clean the courts in numerical order, so if court #1 is occupied but courts #2 & #3 aren’t, they will start cleaning court #2, then court #3 and then go back and clean court #1. If possible, Aqua Pure will try to inform the players that they will be washing the courts within the hour so that players have time to finish or move with minimal interruption to their match. We appreciate your cooperation!
