Environmental Restoration and Public Access Project(Project), as well as additional relevant Project information regarding long-term costs and funding. GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION i Review and consider a list of factors to help guide the Board's decision-making process for existing structures,including the radar tower. SUMMARY The Environmental Impact Report(EIR) for the Mount Umunhum Environmental.Restoration and Public Access Project(Project)was certified by the Board on June 12,2012(see Report R-12-59). At the same meeting,the Board approved a portion of the Project,the demolition of all structures except for the radar tower,as the part of the first phase of Project implementation. Other elements of the Project have yet to be approved by the Board of Directors and include: construction of parking areas, installation of minimal site amenities(such as trails and picnic tables),creation of a visitor center, installation of a backpack camp,and one of three options for the radar tower,for which there is no clear,environmentally-superior option. At the Jul 18`'open house and workshop, Board an d public will be provided the opportunity to review,question,and comment on the three radar tower options under consideration and new information regarding Project costs and funding. The first hour will be an informal open house where members of the public can preview information at various stations. The second hour will be the Board workshop,where District staff and expert consultants will present technical information relating to each radar tower option,including costs,opportunities and constraints,policy implications, and potential partnership considerations. At that time,staff will also present a preliminary list of factors for Board consideration to help guide the radar tower decision-making process. These same factors will also inform future discussions regarding structures that the District has,and will,inherit as part of future land purchases. r R-12-75 Page 2 DISCUSSION The Project was developed to identify public access opportunities for the former Almaden Air Force Station(AFS)located atop Mount Umunhum and Mount Thayer in Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. The public access improvements proposed for the summit of Mount Umunhum include: a paved access road,drop-off area,Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)parking,a summit court and view overlook,interpretation,trails,and seating areas. Also,three options are under consideration for the radar tower. Each option shares the goals f: 1 interpreting h site's o e the s to s history and natural history,i.e. p g ) � g rY Y, > the significance of the mountain to the Ohlone people,its place in military and Cold War history,and the unique flora and fauna that are native to the summit; and 2)providing universal access to the summit and to the various site amenities for people of all ability levels. Radar Tower Options The Project EIR analyzed all project elements that may conceivably be included as part of the final a site design,including the potential environmental impacts that may result from the three radar tower options: 1)remove entire structure and environmentally restore the footprint; 2)remove majority of structure,but leave a publically accessible open-air structure with lowered walls; and 3)retain and seal the structure onsite. These three radar tower options are illustrated as conceptual renderings in Attachment 1. The three radar tower options were developed over the past two years based on substantial public input,and guidance from the Sierra Azul/Bear Creek Redwoods Ad Hoc Committee at two design workshops held in December 2011 and May 2012. All three radar tower options and surrounding public access elements are conceptual in nature and based on site investigations and aerial photographic resources. They reflect an involved and deliberate landscape architectural design process that identified site-appropriate and fiscally-sustainable improvements for the Project Area. Conceptual Cost and Maintenance Estimates Staff and consultants have developed a conceptual cost estimate for the three radar tower options. Initial estimates were provided to the Ad Hoc Committee in May 2012 that have since been updated and are included in this report as Attachment 2. Note that while these are conceptual cost estimates, they are sufficient to provide a good cost comparison,as they are based on standard industry practice, professional experience,and knowledge of the current local construction market costs. At this time,it is not possible to accurately predict all constraints associated with future construction costs,such as material and labor costs,the contractor's method of establishing prices,or the market and bidding conditions at the time of bid. In summary,the costs are as follows: t1 e i i $ F3 i tt"! { � 011 20 Years 40 Years Remove and restore footprint $639,319 - - $639,319 Open-air with $816,953 - - $816,953 lowered walls Retain and seal $1,105,876 +$250,000 +$500,000 $1,855,876 The conceptual cost estimate provides a basis for current and future costs associated with the three radar tower options. It excludes costs associated with staffing and general maintenance that would be inherited with any District structure or site that would normally be performed by District staff, such as repairs associated with exterior painting/sealing and minor concrete repair R-12-75 Page 3 at or near the ground level. It is assumed that the two options(Open Air,Retain and Seal)that leave a portion or all of the structure would require these similar ongoing minor repairs near the ground level over their lifetime. The Restoration option is assumed to also require general maintenance associated with vegetation management and site maintenance. Since these costs would be similar for each option,these were not calculated. However,estimates for the Retain and Seal option do include 20-and 40- year maintenance costs associated with large capital repairs such as roof replacement at 20 and 40 years, and repainting and periodic crack repairs every 15 years for the entire 80-foot tall exterior, at a cost of$250,000 for the first 20 years,and$500,000 for the next 20 years. These necessary repairs would need to be conducted by a specialized contractor as part of a separate,public bidding process. In this context,the 40-year cost of ownership to the District j increases the cost of the Retain and Seal option as shown in the table above but does not increase the cost of ownership to the District for the Restoration or Open Air options. The assumptions used to determine the maintenance cost for the Retain and Seal option are included in Attachment 2. Decision Making Factors to Consider for Existing Structures,Including the Radar Tower i Typically, consideration of existing structures that are inherited as part of District land purchases involves,at a minimum, an evaluation of existing conditions,a determination of the structure's value to the District and its constituents,short-teen and long-term costs,maintenance,and staffing requirements. Because the radar tower has become the single greatest point of focus for the Project as a whole,staff prepared a list of factors to consider as part of the decision-making process. These factors are intended to provide a framework for discussion to assist the Board with determining the outcome for any structure(in this case,the radar tower)and to provide the public with an understanding of the factors that nonnally must be considered as part of the decision-making process. The unprioritized list of recommended factors is summarized in the table below alphabetically and described further in text that follows;note that Factors B. through I. have been pulled from existing Board policies.

Tradeoffs and Impacts on District Resources I. Visitor Experience R-12-75 Page 4 A. Board-Adopted District Policies The District Board of Directors has adopted various policies to guide day-to-day administration, operation,and management of District Preserves and to lay out the District's objectives and means by which it accomplishes the mission"to acquire and preserve a regional greenbelt of open space land in perpetuity;protect and restore the natural environment;and provide opportunities for ecologically sensitive public enjoyment and education". One factor to consider is whether the structure(or implementation option)under review is consistent with Board-adopted policies. The underlined headings B. through 1. below were extracted or inferred from existing Board policies and include a brief summary to help lead a discussion of how they might apply to the radar tower,or any District structure. Basic Policies (Adopted on March 10, 1999) The following are excerpts from the Basic Policies that are relevant to structures and facilities. District Purpose a. As an open space agency,the District's primary purpose is to preserve open space. Development of traditional park and recreation facilities is the responsibility of the cities and counties. Recreational Use and Improvements c. Improvements on District lands are generally limited to facilities (i.e.parking areas, trails and patrol roads,restrooms,mapboards,and signs)for low-intensity recreational uses. Low-intensity recreation avoids concentration of use,significant alteration of the land, and significant impact on the natural resources or on the appreciation of nature. Special Use facilities,(i.e. nature centers,historic structures,picnic tables,or backpack camps),and Special Use activities(i.e. large recreation events,hang gliding,or off-leash dog areas),are considered on a case by case basis. In some cases Special Use activities may require a permit. These types of uses may be allowed when they do not monopolize significant areas of natural land,do not significantly impact natural or aesthetic resources,and provide benefits such as environmental education,heritage resource protection,or public enjoyment and appreciation of nature. The cost of management and exposure to liability of these types of facilities and activities may be a factor in deciding whether to permit them on District lands. Cultural Resources e. Historic structures and sites will be considered for protection by the District where they are associated with lands acquired for overall open space values. Due to the high cost of evaluating,managing,and restoring such facilities,the District depends on grant assistance,public-private partnerships,and outside assistance to support these activities. Sites are evaluated for archaeological resources prior to any new use or improvement which might impact the site. Archaeological resources are evaluated,protected,and made known to the public as appropriate to ensure their preservation. Cooperation a. The District cooperates with and encourages cooperation between governmental agencies,community organizations,and individuals to preserve open space. The District works cooperatively with other governmental agencies and community organizations to facilitate development and management of recreation facilities and of public use. The District ensures that such development is consistent with i R-12-75 Page 5 protection of important natural values of the open space. Policies Regarding Improvements on District Lands (Adopted January 1978, last amended July 2007)) This policy was developed by the Board to assist with the decision making regarding existing structures. Relevant excerpts are provided below. Underline and italics have been added to emphasize text that speaks to criteria,which have been pulled and discussed in further detail under items B through l: Introduction In the process of fulfilling its primary function of acquiring open space,the District also becomes the owner of structures and other improvements of varying condition,usefulness and value. Some of these improvements are appropriate to the open space around them, and others are not. Frequently, structures have some degree of historical value. As use of District lands increases,there will be additional pressure on the District to construct new facilities such as recreational buildings and parking lots. Since there are many costs involved with the maintenance,patrol and liability of structures, it is important that the District establish a policy for the use, construction and/or removal of structures on District lands. Information on specific structures and their use,potential uses and final disposition will be found in the specific site plans. The following policy statements are intended as a guide for the staff in the preparation of such specific site plans to be approved by the Board. B.Policy Statement All structures and other improvements existing on District lands at the time of acquisition are potential resources and as such will be considered for retention and will be addressed in the site plan. In other than emergency situations, public notice will be given to the degree specified in the Open Space Use and Management Planning Process and the Public Notification Policy before any decision is made by the Board to remove a major structure. The District will retain and maintain or build a structure or other improvement only if it is complementary to the objectives of the District outlined in the Basic Policy. Important considerations in the decision to retain an improvement will be its compatibility with the open space character of the site, its potential financial burden to the District in terms of liability and management, historic value, and its proposed use. Existing structures which have identified potential uses may be retained for a specified period as stated in the use and management plan for the site. Other improvements will be removed from the site as soon as it is economically feasible within the constraints of the land management budget. The time scale for the removal will be determined on the basis of both the cost of removal and the degree of negative impact on the site. The site plan will consider the cost and practicality of salvaging materials being removed. Regarding structures having special merit,the same policy states: C. Discussion (3)Improvements which Contribute to the Character of the Site: (e.g., Buildings with Unique Historical or Architectural merit,Barns, Sheds and Fences) In order for the Board to determine the historical cultural or architectural significance of a structure,the District will notify and consult such agencies as specified in the land Use and Management Planning Process Document. R-12-75 Page 6 As an aid to this determination,the District will conduct and maintain a survey of significant structures within the planning area. When the District considers acquisition of a site which includes a structure or structures which are listed on the National Re-zister for Historic Places or are clearly eligible for inclusion on that reizisteLl the District has a special responsibility to seek some means to protect these structures. An important consideration in the decision to retain such structures will be the availability ofspecial fundin2,2 1 ms or resources from WRM other public agencies, private organizations or individuals for the costs of their restoration, maintenance and operation. In extraordinary situations involving structures of exceptional historical or architectural merit,when other resources are not available,the District will either exclude the structures from its acquisition or accept the responsibility to protect and preserve them for an indeflniteperiod while seeking other means for continued preservation and/or restoration as identified in the historical resources inventory. Some structures associated with agriculture or other former uses of the site can contribute significantly to the site without detracting from its open space character. When economically feasible within the constraints of the land management budget, examples of these structures will be retained,maintained, and whenever possible,put to use. B.Compatibility with Open Space Character of the Site As discussed in the Policies Regarding Improvements on District Lands(see above), it is important to consider whether the structure under consideration is believed to be compatible with and/or add to the character of the site and the surrounding landscape. In the case of the radar tower, many members of the public have stated that it provides a sense of place as seen from afar, while others have noted that it detracts from the natural ridgeline. Also, as seen from the summit,the radar tower is physically substantial,and a highly prominent feature that subtracts a portion of the scenic panoramic views; however, a lone tree could also subtract from a panoramic view. Nevertheless, it is important to note that all of the various views from the summit may be obtained by moving around the radar tower structure. C. Historic Value The Policies Regarding improvements on District Lands calls for the gathering of information pertaining to the historical,cultural,or architectural significance of a structure. Existing historic-era structures inherited through past purchases or under consideration for purchase would require surveys conducted by an expert consultant to evaluate the structure's potential eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places(National Register)and the California Register of Historic Resources(CRHR). As part of this survey,the history and significance of individual buildings and structures should be placed in context of any remaining or demolished larger facility in order to determine eligibility for listing. Taken together,these assessments would be necessary to determine historic significance and integrity. The EIR for the Project was certified by the Board on June 12,2012(see Report R-12-59). This analysis concluded that implementation of the Project would not result in any impacts on any documented historical resources presently listed or possibly eligible for listing in the CRHR. This is because no resources are known to be present within the project site and none of the historic-era structures within the project appear to be associated with important historic events or persons at the national, state, or local level. R-12-75 Page 7 D. Partnership Opportunities/Cooperation The Basic Policy,as stated above,includes a commitment to cooperatively engage with other agencies,community organizations,and individuals to preserve open space and to facilitate development and management of recreation facilities and public use. Beyond this,private organizations and entities could also provide cost-sharing and partnership opportunities to retain and/or manage structures. Existing structures may be more attractive to an entity if accessory amenities are already provided or are anticipated,such as the proposed staging area at Bald Mountain and the trail linking it to the summit,or if a portion of the structural improvements are already completed. The Board may also want to consider the minimum match amount needed for the District to retain a structure. Consideration may be given to a situation where only a portion of the necessary funding to retain a structure is actually obtained by outside sources. In this situation,District cost- sharing would be necessary. E. Potential Financial Cost, Including Liability and Management The Policies Regarding Improvements on District Lands identifies cost as an important consideration in the decision to retain an improvement. Refer to the section above entitled Conceptual Cost and Maintenance Estimates for a discussion on short term and long term costs. F. Proposed and Potential Uses The Policies Regarding Improvements on District Lands raises the structure's proposed use as an important consideration in the decision to retain or remove it. In the case of the radar tower,staff has worked closely with consultants to evaluate structural conditions and provide recommendations for repairs necessary to `repurpose' the structure into an occupied structure; that is,to reuse the ground floor,or all floors, for public use. The requirements for an occupied,accessible structure and their associated costs are shown in Attachment 1,in Appendix A,under the section entitled"Accessible Tower". A fully accessible building that allows public access to all floors in the building was not supported by the Ad Hoc Committee as one of the tower options to be recommended to the full Board,and the evaluation of environmental impacts for this option was not part of the Project Description approved by the full Board in December 2010. However,the Ad Hoc Committee directed staff to evaluate the requirements and cost associated with this fully accessible option to better understand the cost implications and financial feasibility. The conceptual construction cost for a fully accessible structure is estimated to be$6,395,717,with a total cost of ownership over a 40- year period estimated to be$7,395,717(Attachment 1,Appendix A). Based on the cost associated with improving the structure for human occupancy and use,it was not considered feasible for reuse as a future visitor center,if the Board approves a visitor center as part of the Project. Although it is typically desirable to re-use existing structures,in this case building a new facility that meets current code would be much more cost effective. Also,the remoteness of the location precludes it from being a reasonable storage facility for District needs associated with the Project,which would require similar work to bring the structure up to code for human occupancy (sprinkler system for fire,electricity,etc.). G. Public Sentiment and Input Consideration of the radar tower has elicited the strongest and most varied response from the public and staff(see Summary of Public Comment below). Throughout the project planning and environmental review process,the question regarding the outcome of the radar tower has generated by far the most comments. Many commenters shared their values,personal experiences,memories, and desires for the outcome of this decision-making process. The social importance to many of the commenters is evident from those letters: borne of personal experiences living with the tower as part of the landscape,as children growing up the region,as adults,and as veterans; as a visual reminder of important memories relating to the Cold War in general,and this former Air Force Station in particular; and just as an object of unusual visual interest. While other structures currently owned or being considered for ownership by the District may not elicit the same level of public interest,it is important to consider and evaluate each single comment that is received as part of the decision- making process. R-1.2-75 Page 8 H.Tradeoffs and Impacts on District Resources Every budget cycle brings tough decisions to the District. In an environment of competing resources, some projects move forward while others must be deferred. This requirement to choose one project over another forces the District to compare the values and priorities of each project: for example,the value of completing one highly worthwhile resource management project ahead of another. Any determination about the radar tower,or any other structure,will also need to be judged against other competing projects,new land purchases,etc., in terms of cost,maintenance requirements,and staffing. I. Visitor Experience The Mission Statement of the District includes"opportunities for ecologically-sensitive public enjoyment and education". The goal of the Project is aligned with this mission,and consideration should be given as to whether the radar tower at Mount Umunhum adds value to,or takes away from the visitor experience. Summary of Public Comment It is clear that of all the project elements,the radar tower has produced the strongest and widest range of opinions among the public,staff,and agencies. The number of individual written comments and online petitions that have been received since the last meeting on June 12 (when the Board certified the EIR)are shown below. The number of multiple-choice postcards represents the total received since the beginning of the project(refer to Attachment 3 for more detail). Number in Favor of Number in Favor of Type of comment Removing Tower Retaining Tower Restoration or Open Air (Retain and Seal) Individual written comment 8 43 Online petition N/A 802 Multiple choice postcards N/A 80 Late comments will be made available for review at the July 18,2012 meeting and will be incorporated as Late Attachment 4. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the Project,including consultant fees,public meeting facility rentals,and public notification costs,were included in the Planning Department's FY2012-13 budget. There are no direct costs associated with this Board item,including the draft list of factors to consider for considering the retention or removal of structures. BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW The Sierra Azul/Bear Creek Redwoods Ad Hoc Committee met twice in December 2011 and May 2012 to participate in a radar tower design charrette and provide direction to staff. The options for the radar tower presented to the Board are consistent with the Committee's recommendation. PUBLIC NOTICE Notices about this special meeting of July 18,2012 were sent to nearly 3,200 interested parties,in addition to approximately 1,500 email recipients,including all individuals and organizations requesting notice. Notification about the meeting and its location was included in the summer 2012 District newsletter,which receives wide distribution. Information regarding the radar tower options was also made available on the District's website. R-12-75 Page 9 CEQA COMPLIANCE Participating in a public Open House and Board workshop does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment [CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2)]. On June 12,the Board certified the Environmental Impact Report(EIR) for the Project(see Report R-12- 59) and also approved demolition of the remaining structures except for the radar tower. The Board has yet to make a decision on the remaining Project elements,including new public access facilities and the disposition of the radar tower. The Board-certified Project FIR,however,did analyze all of the potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures associated with the potential public access improvements and radar tower options that are currently under public and Board review. Prior to making any decision on the remaining Project elements,which are expected at future meetings in the fall, the Board will first need to consider adoption of the CEQA Findings of Fact,approval of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan,and adoption of a Resolution for the Project. NEXT STEPS A public meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled for Wednesday, September 19,2012 at 7:00pin at the Arrillaga Family Community Center in Menlo Park to consider approving remaining elements of the Project,except for the radar tower.

Each of these three schemes is distinctive, however,they all share the same essential site design approach and site costs which are outlined in the Appendix.The three schemes are: Restoration The Restoration scheme demolishes the Tower and recycles the concrete for use in site work and as fill. The ground floor slab remains and is restored with concrete fill,topsoil and native plants. This scheme returns the Tower footprint to a native landscape setting compatible with the surrounding summit area native landscape. Interpretive exhibits are installed around the restored site landscape. Open Air This Open Air scheme demolishes the Tower to the top of the first floor, leaving an open air structure. Tower concrete is recycled for site work and fill. First floor walls and columns are preserved and reconfigured into an open air public space. Maximum remaining wall and column height is approximately 12-13 feet,with other wall heights at 3-6 feet. Portions of demolished upper Tower walls and floors are saw-cut to create the the structure. Some wall sections are repurposed as site furnishings such as seatwalls,low tables,and seating blocks. Interpretive exhibits are installed on the walls and columns,and repurposed concrete wall sections. Retain and Seal In the Retain and Seal scheme,the Tower remains and the public can walk up to and touch the building,but the interior is not publically accessible. Interior access is limited to MROSD maintenance staff. All openings are sealed for security and a secure maintenance access door is installed. The Tower roof is repaired. Tower surfaces are repaired and painted with anti-graffiti paint. Interpretive exhibits are installed at the base of the Tower or within the immediate site.

Umunhum Environmental Restoration &Public Access Project CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE July 18, 2012/ Page 1 of 29 I i BASIS OF ESTIMATE BASIS FOR PRICING This estimate reflects the fair construction value for this project and should not be construed as a prediction of low bid. Prices are based on local prevailing wage construction costs at the time the estimate was prepared. Pricing assumes a procurement process with competitive bidding for all sub-trades of the construction work,which is to mean a minimum of 3 bids for all subcontractors and materials/equipment suppliers. If fewer bids are solicited or received, prices can be expected to be higher. Subcontractor markups have been included in each line item unit price. Markups cover the cost of field overhead, home office overhead and subcontractor's profit. Subcontractor markups typically range from 15%to 25%of the unit price depending on market conditions. General Contractor's Site Requirement costs are calculated on a percentage basis. General Contractor's Jobsite Management costs are also calculated on a percentage basis. General Contractor's overhead and fees are based on a percentage of the total direct costs plus general conditions,and covers the contractor's bond, insurance,site office overheads and profit. Unless identified otherwise,the cost of such items as overtime,shift premiums and construction phasing are not included in the line item unit price. This cost estimate is based on standard industry practice, professional experience,and knowledge of the local construction market costs.TBD Consultants have no control over the material and labor costs,contractor's methods of establishing prices, or the market and bidding conditions at the time of bid.Therefore,TBD Consultants do not guarantee that the bids received will not vary from this cost estimate. An Owner's Contingency and Change Order Contingency has not been included in this construction cost estimate,but it is advised that MROSD carry additional contingency to cover scope changes,claims and delays. 9 Y P 9 Y I DESIGN CONTINGENCY The Design Contingency is carried to cover scope that lacks definition and scope that is anticipated to be added to the Design. As the Design becomes more complete,the Design Contingency will be reduced. All schemes used a 15%Design Contingency. Note that the Design Contingency for the Retain and Seal scheme(Davis Langdon estimate)is built into the Davis Langdon costs for this scheme which TBD carried forward. 20&40 YEAR MAINTENANCE COSTS(for Retain and Seal scheme only) Order of magnitude costs for the following maintenance items have been included in the summary: Retain and Seal 1)Roof replacement at 20 and 40 years 2)Repainting and minor crack repairs every 15 years NOTE: All other MROSD costs for supervision,insurance,supplies etc.are excluded I Mt. Umunhum Environmental Restoration &Public Access Project CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE July 18,2012/ Page 2 of 29 i I I BASIS OF ESTIMATE ESCALATION Escalation has been included in the estimate and reflects the anticipated increases in labor and materials up until the mid point of construction. Escalation is calculated as compounding year on year. An allowance of 12%is included for schemes estimated from April 2012.An additional 4%has been applied to any numbers used in the current estimate from the February 2011 (Davis Langdon, Retain and Seal)estimate. This calculation does not account for adverse bidding conditions and a separate contingency should be carried if there are limited qualified bidders or if a market research study indicates a need for this contingency. SOFT COSTS&ADDITIONAL COSTS For the of this estimate,soft costs that will be incurred by MROSD have been based on a percentage of the purpose construction costs.Typically soft costs range from 25%-40%of construction costs and for the nature of work required for this project TBD estimate that MROSD will incur no less than an additional 30%in soft costs. Other additional costs which are unique to this project have also been identified separate from the direct estimate total,these are carried below the line on summary pages. Soft costs are not limited to but are likely to include the following: - Construction Change Orders - Construction of Temporary Facilities - Hazardous Waste Remediation - FF&E(Fixtures, Furnishings&Equipment)except where noted otherwise - Design Fees - Value Engineering Services - Survey/Utility Mapping - Utility Connection Fees - Constructability Reviews - Security Plan - Testing&Inspections - Program Contingency - Licenses - Moving/Temporary Storage - Santa Clara County Plan Check Fees EXCLUSIONS - Construction Management - Hazardous Materials Inspection - Geotechnical Study(beyond the R&C 2011 report) - Slope Mitigation (noted in the R&C 2011 report) - Third Party MEP Commissioning - Utility Company Back Charges,including work required off-site - Overtime,2nd Shift and Lost Productivity Premiums - Construction or Occupancy Phasing - Owner's Contingency and Change Order Contingency for scope changes and market conditions at time of bid - Items identified in the design as Not In Contract(NIC) - Permits Mt.

Urnunhunn cleanup and restoration I am very excited about the inclusion of the Mount Umunhum in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.The cleanup and removal of the Almaden Air Force Station is an important part of creating a truly unique addition to the KAidpeninsu|o Open Space District. However, I'm extremely disappointed that the district would consider keeping the unsightly concrete block that sits on top of the mountain. I strongly disagree with Mercury News columnist Scott Herhold that this ugly monstrosity should remain.Certainly there are a few former Air Force personnel who have nostalgic memories of this old site. However,the stated purpose of the district is "to purchase,permanently protect,and restore lands forming a regional open space greenbelt, preserve unspoiled wilderness, wildlife habitat,watershed, viewshed,and fragile ecosystems,and provide opportunities for low-intensity recreation and environmental education." It's a real stretch to see how preserving this block of concrete fits these goals.As a former cold warrior,who spent a year staring at a radar screen in a similar structure in Vietnam, I definitely do not want to see any reminders mf that era inan open space preserve. 2. -----Original Message--' � Sent:Tuesday,June|u,zo124:35PkA � To: BOARD;Clerk;Vicky Gou;General information First Name:Art � Last Name: Boudneou|t Ward/Location: New Almaden Dear Sins, � I believe it is vital to honor the cold war veterans by creating a museum on Mt Umunhum.While � some might believe it only housed a battalion of Air Force personnel,what the airmen did kept the U. � S.out of war for over thirty years.Without a museum,we will forget that our most successful war since VVWlI removed the USSR from their attempt at world domination and we DID NOT lose � through military batt|esour military personnel in that effort.

Plus adequate turn around space. Water weighs 7+ pounds per gallon.So a 5,000 gallon fire tanker is carrying over 35,000 pounds of water not including its own weight. 3: Hang gliders.Just a few unanswered questions. Has anyone discussed where they will belanding? Where do they have permission to land?Is a special area going to be provided just for hang gliders? Access?At what skill level will they be before flying? Who's going to rescue them when they crash? Who is going to pay for the rescue?Permit or not liability is an issue.(thought I'd point that out) In response to the gentleman who said we were idiots during the cold war and God has spoken,we tracked Russian TU-95 Bombers down the West Coast,so the Soviet Union was a real threat.Thank you 15. --'Origina\K8esyage--- Frmmn: BevLipnnan, Porto|aVaUey,CA � � Sent: Friday,June 15,zo1ac54PkA � To:General Information Subject:Mt.

I spoke to the issue of the EIR for the project and asked whether or not the environmental impact to Hick's Road was considered in the analysis as it is basically the only way up to Mt.Um.(the other being the road through New Almaden,albeit this would be impractical). I want to more fully express my concern. I don't see how one can separate an EIR for the site and not consider an EIR for the way to the site. After all,this is the"Mount Umunhum Environmental Restoration and Public Access Project"....and Hicks Road is a main component to the public access factor. I mentioned the aspect of increased vehicle traffic and the impact of increased nitrogen associated with the outflow from the Catalytic Converter on non-electric vehicles. This nitrogen increase affects the corridor along the access road,increases the growth rate of invasive,non-native plants at the expense of natives. We have a wealth of information about this effect in the area of HWY loi and the Coyote Hills area of South San Jose and we need to apply this knowledge to assess the degree of environmental impact along Hicks and up to the summit. I mentioned the need to increase the width of Hicks Road to provide two-way access to the summit. I asked about the environmental impact on the water supply for the City of San Jose as the Percolation Ponds of the SCVWD will certainly be affected by debris from the road work. What I didn't think about until the ride home was the presence of Mercury in that soil.As you know, New Almaden featured the second,largest productive Mercury Mine in the World,second only to the Almaden of Spain. The mining was not restricted to the New Almaden and to the los Alimitos Creek; there most recent active Hg mine was on the Guadalupe side of the Quicksilver Park,just below the Dump on the hill,and adjacent Hicks Road. Widening Hicks road necessarily implies a deeper Guadalupe Creek to adjust to maintain the same water flow. When you shake up all those tailings and the Hg species that are inherent to the creek from natural and mining operations, it will travel down-hill and settle in the area of the Masson Dam and the Perc Ponds along Guadalupe. Is the anticipation of this and the projected cost included in the restoration and public access project? It needs to be. Obviously there would have to be an assessment of the impact to fish(Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout,which the County is trying to call back to the local creeks and streams; 1 think this is a big budget item and one that should be considered in context of the development of Mr.Um. The project you pursue is not isolated to the summit of Mt. Umunhum.the project is the site and the access to the site. I hope that the Board is looking at the whole picture. Since the project will i necessarily impact water quality to the City of San Jose and the County, I encourage a meeting to discuss this specific aspect of the project. The SCVWD,The City of San Jose and the County of Santa Clara should participate. Respectfully, Patrick P. Pizzo ,San Jose,CA 25. -----Original Message---- Sent: Monday,June 18,2012 7:10 AM To: BOARD;Clerk;Vicky Gou;General Information First Name: David j Last Name: Proulx Ward/Location:San Jose I encourage you to keep the radar tower at Mt.

One particular apple orchard was lovely and every bit as wonderful as viewing Castle Rock park. 2--Also saddened that you are viewing this as a park,rather than what it may well possibly become-a destination. Going to Colorado Springs means going to the most visited mountain in the world.http://www.springsgov.com/Sectionlndex.aspx?SectionlD= 8 With the view of the valley,it may quite possibly rival San Francisco's attractions or may be one of the more valued place to visit in Silicon Valley;therefore, planning goes beyond the shuttle. The radar tower,which by the report seems a possible foundation left like a hole in the ground at which to stare,could be a viewing tower created of concrete in the same radar tower dimensions.While some on the planning committee may state we don't have the funds for that,we the public would like the opportunity to fund raise the restoration of the existing radar tower into a viewing tower or if that be too expensive,the creation of a new viewing tower,handicapped assessable,to allow the crowds of people to see from the vantage point of a tower. While some reading this may scoff while reading this, I remind you if you look up from the valley you can see the tower,a time when it was the people's rook from which we felt secure and safe,even though during the same time period, Kennedy announced Cuban's nuclear missiles and the station on the hill watched the sky. It had the same emotion purpose as the Medieval tower as a place as defense in war. The numerous attempts to save the Tower is because in creating a park,it is not just a park. It is a place of heroic battles of past fires engulfing homes,of a supreme wilderness area,and a landmark tower, and a possible future of a destination. Please don't dismiss planning for a Yosemite on a hill. Aim high,create a memorable place. 31- -----Original Message----- Sent:Tuesday,June 19,zou 6:14 PM To: BOARD;Clerk;Vicky Gou;General Information First Name: Roger Last Name:Tregear Ward/Location:san jose I would like to add my support to keep the tower as a "monument"of our times past.

It is an already-built monument! The radar tower is a part of history, a"castle"of the cold Paul McWilliams San Jose CA 95138 United States 6/12/2012 war. It has fascinated me from the first day that I arrived in Silicon Valley. I would be disappointed to see it torn down. Please save the tower! The"Cube"is a landmark of local history that deserves to William Foley Brighton MA 2135 United States 6/12/2012 keep its place of prominence-it's also a ready-made viewing platform and interpretive center for the mountaintop. Keep the tower! I am a veteran of The Almaden AFS. W lived on the Bill Conway Billings MT 59102 United States 6/13/2012 mountain from 1966 to 1968. The service performed by the veterans of AAFS need to be remembered and honored. Bill Conway This radar tower is history;a monument to the Cold War.

Darlene White Fairfield CA 94534 United States 6/13/2012 It's a memory from my childhood growing up in Almaden. The Almaden AFS AN/FPS-24 tower is one of the few (maybe only)mountaintop tower remaining in existance. It should be preserved as a monument to those of us that served to defend the United States and Canada from attack Martin Nielson SE.Albaquerque NM 85282 United States 6/13/2012 during the cold war. I fondly remember my service in the USAF Air Defense Command in California in the 1950- 1960's and would be disappointed to see this land mark destroyed as was done at Mt Hebo, Oregon. Jim Ault MESA AZ 85205 United States 6/13/2012 I am a veteran of Almaden AFS and worked in the radar tower. The tower is a reminder of how we need to be prepared.

Charles Jeronimo Livermore CA 94550422 United States 6/13/2012 1 served there for 18 months and appreciated the beauty of that mountain. I moved to San Jose in 1964 when stationed at Almaden AFS.

It's part of our history and should be preserved, like Hangar Penelope Cole Santa Clara CA 95051 United States 6/13/2012 One at Moffett Field. I retired from the Air Force and served at Moffett Field. Our military history should be preserved, lest we forget how to fight for freedom. The radar tower is a monument to the successful Robert Zenorini Demarest NJ 7627 United States 6/13/2012 completion of the cold war. Future generations need to know the danger this country was exposed to and how we were protected from enemy attack.

The tower is a historical monument and would serve as an attraction for James Zoland Vancouver WA 98664 United States 7/4/2012 People to venture to the top of the mountain and explore.

Umunhum Radar Tower Comments The Tower on this Mountain stands as a reminder that a 'War"can be fought without death and destruction. The Cold War is the epitome of how conflict's should be handled. This is what we and the rest of the world beg for,yet almost no monuments or any real appreciation is shown for anything or anyone that participated in it. Here you have a Monument already standing strong and tall and we are debating on what it will look like, after it's torn down. So the message to the new volunteers of our military,for the media and all the people that sound off when a war erupts answer me this. Should we fight a"War"with negotiations, Edward Doherty Sunnyvale CA 94086 United States 7/6/2012 technology and brains or bombs and bullets? If this Tower was never there or if we didn't perform our duties and the Cold War turned Hot,there may never have been anyone here to walk on those paths,to breath the fresh air or to take in the precious views from up there, or anywhere else.With a war fought like the Cold War and ending the way the Cold War ended we all have to be reminded the real"Memorial" saved by the people working at that Tower is this planet and all life on this planet. The fact is,every person that goes up there to hike or take in a big breath of fresh air and look out over the ocean or the city lights below should first walk over and qive that Tower a big kiss and thank it and thank Monica Pound Santa Clara CA 95050 United States 7/6/2012 Grew up with this tower and still see it eve da A great counterpoint between the Cold War needs of the US and the country it was intended to protect. That threat was gary miskimon San Jose CA 95125 United States 7/6/2012 real and its great to be able to see it and learn from it in the future,after the site is re-opened to the public. The Bay Area has already eliminated most of its proud military history,why one more piece that is so visible?

Contrary to tearing the building down, it should be restored and turned into a Cold War museum. Tearing down this tower would be a travesty. The site is not just wilderness in need of restoration. It also represents Nancy Williams Los Altos CA 94022 United States 7/7/2012 crucial history that should not be forgotten. I advocate that the tower be preserved and a museum or placards tell the story of what went on here during World War II I agree that saving the tower is important for its historical significance, but also I want it preserved because I truly enjoy looking at it and photographing it. It annoys me that some people call it"ugly." It's not an "eyesore,"it's an ICON Jeff Gordon 95120 United States 7/8/2012 and as others have said,an important landmark. I like watching it from different angles and distances, in different lighting and weather. I would definitely miss seeing it if it were removed. I will be at the meeting 7/18 to voice my support.

Using the Elaine Durand San Jose CA 95124 United States 7/13/2012 legends of the Native Americans as an excuse to tear down the tower is the wrong move. What about the memories of the thousands of men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. What about their heritage? Do preserve the memory of the people of he US Air Force Coralie Elliott Victoria V9A1 V4 Canada 7/13/2012 who once lived and worked on the mountain--I once lived on the mountain as a US Air Force dependent and my husband worked at the radar tower.

Page 60 of 81 Change.org Online Petitions-Save the Mt. Umunhum Radar Tower Comments Almaden AFS was my first duty station in the Air Force in 1965. The mission at Almaden was to ensure that if an enemy attempted to attack there would be sufficient warning to launch interceptors to shoot down the bombers before they could complete their missiion. Failing that, it was to Steven Rudd Hampton VA 23669 United States 7/16/2012 ensure the citizens would have sufficient warning to seek shelter.

I grew up going to school in Almaden Valley attending both Bret Harte and Leland(Class of 99).The Umumhum Tower is the one standout landmark in Almaden and you can't get rid of it!! It holds a mythic significance to me, akin to Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria, Germany, although more minimal and plain in scope.Tell me there is not something mysterious and alluring as you approach the Almaden Valle James Holmes San Jose CA 95125 United States 7/17/2012 and see a cubical building on a mountain. It's a breath of fresh air in an area of San Jose that has little personality and distinction in terms of geography(a few mercury mines and abandoned barns being the exception).Almaden is pleasant but it needs a little bit of character and spontaneity to keep it an attractive place to live. Preserving the Radar Tower Cube does this, and commemorates it's unique and overlooked role in the Cold War.What other landmark does Almaden really have? HOLLY BITTER Sunnyvale CA 94089 United States 7/17/2012 Save the Square!!!!!

It is important that we preserve structures that represent historical importance of an area. In this case,the radar tower is a reminder of the Cold War and how close we were to a 3rd World War. Furthermore, it is a reminder to all Paul Pesek United States 7/18/2012 Americans of the importance that our armed forces have played in preserving/protecting the U.S. Constitution and our rights as citizens. Finally,the radar tower provides a marker for geographic reference, similar to the Lick Observatory on Mt. Hamilton. This is a piece of Almaden History. I grew up looking at this building which contributed to us winning the cold war. It is Stephen Khoobyarian Long Beach CA 90832 United States 7/18/2012 iconic and should be preserved for future generations to teach them the importance of the area in World affairs and defense of our great Nation.

As a teenager,I worked on the survey tower crew that helped build the tower. It is a historical monument that I enjoy seeing when I fly over it to Monterey. I believe the tower deserves to be saved in the same way as other historical landmarks.The blandness of its architecture is a testament to the time and the reason it was built. If possible, I prefer to remain anonymous unless you must publish my name to be in compliance with the law, I am willing to pledge$200,000 toward Saving(not compromising)the Tower if the Board or the public can raise,thatch or fund the additional$200,000 that is beyond the demolition cost. You may use this pledge as a challenge grant in order to raise the additional funds, With that being said, the Midpeninsula Open Space District is now at the breakeven point and can save this important part of Santa Clara County history.

The Lehigh Southwest Cement and Quarry and the Steven Creek Quarry have been polluting Cupertino and the Valley for over 80 years and it is time the public took a stand with a grass roots effort to shut them down once and for all. Lehigh is located at 24001 Stevens Creek Blvd,Cupertino,Ca.95014 drive up Stevens Creek Blvd.past De Anza College,past the Foothill Expressway and on up the road to the end and you will see the Cement Plant,the East Material Storage area the pollution Is great the public Is in danger. The advocates are very concerned that Lehigh will submit another application for a new pit to be mined for another 25 years this can not happen we must fight to stop them in any way we can keep informed by looking on the Santa Clara County web site for information about this possibility. Steven Creek Quarry is located at 12100 Stevens Canyon Road,Cupertino,Ca.drive up Foothill Expressway this will turn into Stevens Canyon Rd.this quarry Is right across the street from the Stevens Creek Reservoir this has high levels of Mercury in it from the pollution from the Stevens Creek Quarry.The pollution is not just reserved to the water it Is also in the air and soil.The Stevens Creek Reservoir uses the recharge pond behind the 7/11 on Bubb Rd.to empty water into the aquifer under the valley this water is then pulled up from the California Water Company and the San lose Water Company and sold to the public this water is polluted with Vanadium,Chromium,Mercury, Selenium,Cadmium,PCBs and many other pollutants that the water companies do not even test for. The Santa Clara Water District is responsible for this Reservoir and the water is also released into the Steven Creek Creek and the Permanente Creek which are also polluted and the public is in danger.They are aware of the high levels of Mercury in the Reservoir that have polluted the fish so much so that they post notices to the public not to eat the fish but people still do. The EPA Region 9 and the Federal EPA filed an Notice of Violation are investigating and have been for 3 years and so far nothing has been done and the public is continually exposed to this pollution this must end.They continually say they can not tell the public anything because of this investigation and the public it seems have no right to know what is going on this is unforgiveable. The EPA Super Fund Division conducted a Preliminary Assessment Investigation in great detail and has declined to declare Lehigh Southwest Cement and Quarry and the Stevens Creek Quarry as Federal Super Fund Sites this is a terrible failure on their part to prevent pollution in the community. Lies were told by the local News Paper that stated EPA Clears Lehigh no human health risk found,facility won't be put on Superfund list,and according to the EPA they never made these statements.The article stated a contradiction in itself because it was stated that the Lehigh plant is one of the region's major polluters,ranking at or near the top of the Bay Area industrial sites for emissions of greenhouse gases and airborne mercury so you can see how foolishly reported this article was.The down playing of the pollution that the public is subjected to is a crime and the public waits to have justice served. The Bay Area Air Management Quality District plays down the pollution and when citizens call to report pollution they are doing nothing and will not even site them any longer for the pollution they emit the pubic is in danger.Lehigh is not even required to shut down during spare the air days which would help to provide better quality air at those times.There are many problems with the BAAQMD to mention at this time but you can call in a complaint anytime you wish at 800-224-6367 ask for a copy of the complaint and the outcome to be mailed to you with the results.Note:Even if the BAAQMD does not site them the call and findings will be on record and that is important. Santa Clara County will do nothing to stop Lehigh and the Steven Creek Quarry from this ongoing pollution even thou they know what is going on they refuse to listen to the public and they continue to play down what is going on and will not operate according the public that has elected these officials. The State Water Board has also reframed from doing anything even after they have been investigating for going on 3 years they even filed Notice of Violations against them but no fees or fines have been required against them and the public suffers.The paying fees or fines will not be enough large companies are wealthy and they will continue to violate the regulations and pollute this needs to change. There are to many facts,issues and things to bring up in this Urgent Message so it is hoped that you will do you part as a citizen of Cupertino and the valley and get involved.What can you do as a citizen in your community to stop this pollution?Call and write these agencies to complain,stay and become informed about meetings in your communities,protest during street protests make your voice heard every chance you get.The addresses and phone numbers of these agencies are on the web so please look them up and contact them ASAPI r J" Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District To: Board of Directors From: Stephen E. Abbors Date: July 18, 2012 Re: Late FYIs f JL is•Aft ;.,•:,. Iran,r..:....f_t.. ._:'�..,.,. ,. mid July 18, 2012 RE: "Herhold: Mt. Um radar tower's local significance ignored"(July 16, 2012) This letter responds to the article titled "Herhold: Mt. Um radar tower's local significance ignored,"which was written by Scott Herhold and published in the San Jose Mercury News on Monday, July 16, 2012. Mr. Herhold incorrectly states that qualified historic architecture consultant Page&Turnbull and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District(MROSD)did not evaluate the radar tower at the former Almaden Air Force Station for local significance. Citing a comment letter from county planner Rob Eastwood on June 24, 2011, Herhold concluded that MROSD did not take Mr. Eastwood's comments into consideration. This is not correct. Mr. Eastwood commented on an early draft of Page&Turnbull's report. Page &Turnbull responded via an addendum to their original report, dated August 3, 2011. The addendum analyzed the former Almaden Air Force Station within the local context of Cold War resources, including Moffett Field, Onizuka Air Force Station, and military-related technological development in Santa Clara County. The Almaden Air Force Station was evaluated according to the criteria set forth in the Santa Clara County Municipal Code's "Article II. Landmark Designation." Using standard criteria for the assessment of physical integrity, Page&Turnbull found that the radar tower did not retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance. Though a large and visually identifiable structure, the radar tower no longer includes the 125-foot-wide, 85 ton radar"sail"that searched for objects in airspace, or the interior mechanics that physically associate it with its former defense function. Because historic integrity is a crucial component to designation at the local level, the former Almaden AFS was found to not be eligible for listing in the Santa Clara County Heritage Resource Inventory. Thus, it is not under the purview of review by the Historical Heritage Commission, nor was the tower found to be eligible for listing in the National Register and California Register. These findings were included in the Mt. Umunhum Environmental Restoration and Public Access Project Draft Environmental Impact Report(EIR)(December 2011). The Santa Clara County Planning Department and the California State Historic Preservation Officer concurred with these findings. As the Final Environmental Impact Report(May 2012)explains, even though the tower did not meet the eligibility criteria for finding to be a significant historic resource for CEQA purposes, MROSD has nevertheless included voluntary mitigation measures in the event that options to partially or fully remove the tower are selected, including development of interpretive media depicting the role of the site in the Cold War. Page &Turnbull and MROSD fully appreciate the passion expressed concerning the tower, and have taken to heart and squarely addressed all comments on this issue, including those referenced by Mr. Herhold.

The Draft EIR considered all comments received during the public comment period for the Notice of Preparation (NOP)and the Final EIR included responses to all comments received during the public comment period for the Draft EIR.The County's letter to which Mr. Herhold refers was an initial remark received at the beginning of the coordination process between the County and MRSOD staff that occurred outside of these comment periods. This letter was part of the coordination effort and was not a comment on the NOP or the Draft EIR. Santa Clara County subsequently submitted an official comment letter on the Draft EIR,which was included in the Final EIR (Letter 53).As reflected in the official letter,the County indicates that a demolition permit is not subject to the Historic Preservation Ordinance or the Landmark Alteration Permit requirements because Mt Umunhum is not a County designated landmark, is not listed in the County Heritage Resource Inventory,and is not located in the Historic Preservation Combining District. Review by the County Historical Heritage Commission is not required and was not recommended in the County's comments on the Draft EIR.The Comment letter submitted by the County on the Draft EIR also notes that the State Concurrence letter[the letter submitted to the District by the State Historic Preservation Office]validates that none of the structures are eligible for listing on the NRHP within state, local,or national historic contexts. (emphasis added)As noted by Mr. Herhold,the County concurs with the conclusions of the Draft EIR. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Umunhum. I would respectfully ask that the Board come down in favor of allowing the old search radar tower to stand. I was stationed at the 682nd Radar Squadron/Almaden AFS from 1970 through 1972 and spent several hundred days and nights keeping the equipment in the operations building next to that tower up and running. I have also shown the site and the tower to various friends and relatives whenever I visit the Bay Area. The concrete tower is the only visible reference from the valleyand its presence gives a sense of scope and perspective to what would otherwise just P g P P P be another ridge on the mountains.

I assume that if it were left standing as is,that it would be sealed,or closed,so my comments reflect that understanding. 1 think it should be torn down completely.The natural state of that ridge is the m natural most beautiful and awe-inspiring one.A structure would just mar and diminish the abundant natu a P g 1 beauty. I don't think we need a reminder of the cold war,or need to keep a familiar landmark to those of us in the South Bay. Keeping just a small part of it also makes no sense to me-only if you wanted to i preserve this link to the past as a reminder of that history.And I don't think we need that. It occurs to me that the GGNRA in Marin has kept the concrete bunkers of the gun emplacements-I've been there,and those are indeed interesting from a historical perspective,and do little to mar the great natural beauty and views-so those World War Two relics I have no problem with. But the radar tower is much bigger,and would impact the experience much more on its ridge top. I do think that the people who served on that base should definitely be honored in some way,with a signboard display,statue,or plaque,etc.This history is interesting,and should be told up there, maybe through the installation of a few displays,etc. Yes,the tower is kind of like an old friend,because it's so readily visible,makes such a great landmark,and because it's been there for so long,but general familiarity is not reason enough to keep it-times change,and we should take this opportunity to return that ridge to it's original splendor. I think that would be a positive step. 9- -----Original Message— Sent:Tuesday,July 17,2012 2:20 PM To: BOARD;Clerk;Vicky Gou;General Information First Name: Natalie Last Name: Russell Ward/Location:Pasadena,CA I grew up in the shadow of the cube that is the Radar Station building on Mt. Umhunum,a local landmark and an icon that I believe is worth preserving. People often look back on aging architecture and places and see only something old-fashioned and ugly,and an opportunity to replace it with something"better"as defined by the present moment. If by luck a building survives the decades,it may at last be old enough to be considered historic and regain a new kind of value. How unfortunate for those who cannot see far enough into the future to recognize in the present the value of what they have the means to save. The Almaden Radar Station represents a tense and fascinating moment of the past century that is rapidly becoming"history." If we do not preserve such monuments,especially here in California where military history in particular is not stumbled upon in every Civil War battlefield and every landmark of the Revolution,how can we expect those born after the Cold War and the coming generations to appreciate their history and learn from those who have gone before? Please save the Radar Tower. to- -----Original Message---- i I I' i i i i
