V. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Reed Sparks, Vice Mayor of Cupertino and a member of the
Cupertino City Council , requested the Board consider allowing
the piece of District land used for the widening of Regnart Canyon
Road to be conveyed to the City without charge.
J. Fiddes read an oral communication from Charlotte Biegelson,
No. 7 Skylonda Drive, Woodside, regarding the views of her
husband David and herself concerning the disposition of Thornewood.
She said Mrs. Biegelson agreed with Barbara Felix's letter which
appeared in The Country Almanac and felt the Thornewood property
was the prize and the house was secondary. She felt a much more
suitable use of the property would be to open the property to
small groups, such as the Scouts .
VI. SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY
B. Green stated Special Orders of the Day would be postponed until

VII. OLD BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED
A. Cooley Landing-Acquisition of the Lands of Westbay Community
Associates (Ideal Basic Industries, Inc. )
C. Britton reviewed report R-80-63 , dated November 5, 1980 , re-
garding the acquisition of the two parcels of land located to the
north and south of Cooley Landing and owned by Westbay Community
Associates (Ideal Basic Industries, Inc. ) . He noted the District
had expended $50 ,000 to extend the option to purchase until
November 20, 1980 and $80 , 000 would be required to complete the purchase.
S. Sessions reviewed the use and management recommendations con-
tained in the report, and C. Britton stated staff was recommending
that the parcels not be dedicated.
E. Shelley noted the Board had discussed other conditions when
the initial $50,000 expenditure was authorized and asked for a
status report on what had transpired.
C. Britton stated the Board had requested that the East Palo Alto
Municipal Council pass a resolution stating the Council did not
expect the District to be involved in the development of a marina
project and that the Board had taken its action with the expecta-
tion that the Leslie Salt/Cargill property would be offered to
the District at a bargain price. He noted the East Palo Alto
Municipal Council had passed the resolution requested by the
Board and a copy of the resolution was attached to the staff
report. He said that negotiations for the salt pond purchase
were going well and he was encouraged.
N. Hanko asked what debris was referred to in the use and
management reconunendation, "Staff would work with the other
governmental agencies , including BCDC, having jurisdiction to
investigate long term remedies for the elimination of the hazardous
situation resulting from the debris on the site" , and she noted
she thoughtsome of the concrete on the site might be useful for
a marina project.
S . Sessions responded the debris consisted of broken concrete,
dirt piles , timbers , and pilings, but he did not know the
extent or depth of the material.
Meeting 80-25 1 Three
S. Sessions noted staff was not proposing to dispose of the debris
at this time, but was proposing to contact other agencies to
find out what their concerns were with regard to the debris.
N. Hanko asked if the Board would be notified of a staff decision
to remove some of the debris material or whether the Board was ap-
proving removal of the material by adopting the use and management
recommendations.
S. Sessions said staff could return to the Board before taking
any action to remove the material if the Board requested.
E. Shelley noted the District was dealing with a potential
liability problem, and staff should be allowed to resolve the
situation in the best possible way as soon as possible.
Henry Anthony, a member of the East Palo Alto Municipal Council,
stated a feasibility study contract for the marina would be
signed in November and a Marina Task Force had been established.
He said be had been instructed by the Council to express its
support for the agenda item and to request that East Palo Alto
be allowed, at some time, to purchase the subject property from
the District at the purchase price the District paid.
Jay Thorwaldsen, 244 Robin Way, Menlo Park, expressed his concerns
regarding the District ' s staff contacting the Bay Conservation
Development Commission (BCDC) about the hazardous material and
the status of Mr. Carl Schoof. He said contacting BCDC staff might
precipitate a judgment from that organization on the entire
marina project and noted Mr. Schoof had been acting as the un-
official caretaker for the property and hoped the current
situation could continue.
Motion: R. Bishop moved the adoption of Resolution 80-44,
Authorizing Exercise of Option, Authorizing Officer
to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to
District and Authorizing General Manager to Execute
Any and All Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate
to Closing of the Transaction (Cooley Landing Bay Front
Preserve-Lands of West Bay Community Associates) .
H. Turner seconded the motion.
Discussion: B. Green reiterated the two points made by
Mr. Thorwaldson. S. Sessions stated staff would assume
a go-slow position on contacting BCDC and would stay
in contact and work with the person coordinating the
marina project. S. Sessions said staff would inves-
tigate the rent back situation for Mr. Schoof and would
return to the Board with some recommendations regarding
a nominal rent or an exchange of services. N. Hanko
noted S. Sessions should contact the East Palo Alto
Municipal Council to find out who would be coordinating
the marina project. N. Hanko requested Mr. Schoof be
sent a copy of the staff report as a courtesy item.
D. Wendin stated he viewed the project as independent of
Cooley Landing and recommended San Mateo County Baylands
Reserve as an appropriate name. The motion passed unani-
mously.
Meeting 80-25 Age Four
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board adopt the proposed
use and management criteria, including the non-opening
of the site and leaving these parcels in a non-dedicated
status and that these parcels be unofficially called
the San Mateo County Baylands Reserve. N. Hanko seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
B. Proposed Addition to Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve
-,Petersen Property)
C. Britton reviewed report R-80-64 , dated November 5, 1980 , re-
garding the addition of the 80 acre Petersen property
to the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. He noted a
voluntary settlement had been reached prior to the condemnation
case going to court and the final terms of the purchase would
be by stipulated judgment. He said the Board was being asked
to approve the settlement amount of $250 ,000 , which was listed
on the revised claims .
S. Sessions reviewed the use and management recommendations for
the site, indicating trail reconstruction costs would have to
be rebudgeted in the 1981-82 budget.
Mr. Stanley Petersen, 24737 Prospect Avenue, Los Altos Hills,
commented negatively on the District' s acquisition of his property and
quoted an article from the November 9 San Franciso Chronicle
regarding the use of condemnation to acquire land.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board authorize the expenditure
of $250,00 from the Previous Land Commitments budget
category as given in item 1601 of the revised claims
list. E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board adopt the use and manage-
ment recommendations made in the report, that the official
name of the site be an addition to Rancho San Antonio

parcel be officially dedicated as open space land.
H. Turner seconded the motion. The motion passed unani-
mously.

IX. OLD BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED, continued
C. Public Notification Procedures
Motion: N. Hanko moved the President be authorized to establish
a committee to study the subject of public notification
procedures. K. Duffy seconded the motion.
Discussion: H. Grench reviewed memorandum M-80-80 , dated
November 3, 1980 , noting a committee could study the
question in depth. Harry Haeussler asked about a new law
going into effect in January that would prohibit State
and lccal government bodies from charging the public fees
to receive meeting notices. H. Grench responded the
committee would look into' the matter. B. Green stated
the committee' s charge would be a broad one on notification
in general , including identification of the issues in-
volved, pre-acquisition notification, and notification
Meeting 80-25 Page Five
during the planning process . The motion passed unani-
mously.
H. Grench noted staff had been requested to place the question
of listing land acquisitions as Public Hearings and the definition
of Public Hearings on an agenda for Board discussion and asked
if it would now be appropriate for the committee appointed by
B. Green to study these issues.
B. Green stated the Board' s consensus that the study of these
two issues should be included in the committee 's charge. She
appointed D. Wendin, N. Hanko, and K. Duffy to serve on the
committee to study public notification procedures and requested
that the committee' s meetings be publicly noticed since other
Board members might wish to attend.
D. Development of Rancho San Antonio County Park
B. Green noted the Boar a Faa receive--cT-�W-r�:E-ten-c6mmunic4tions
from Marcia Johnson, 1215 Arthur Court, Los Altos, and from
Kathleen Schweifler, who lives near the Rancho San Antonio
Open Space Preserve, regarding the negative effects the develop-
ment of the Rancho San Antonio County Park would have on the
District 's neighboring Preserve.
H. Grench requested that the first recommendation of memorandum
M-80-82 , dated November 7 , 1980, be deleted and asked that
discussions regarding the integrity of the St. Joseph's bridge
be deferred to a future Board meeting. The Board concurred with
the request.
S . Sessions reviewed his memorandum M-80-81, dated November 6,
1980 , to H. Grench in which he outlined the steps leading to
the paving of the access road to the Preserve and communication
problem that had occurred between District staff and members
of the Board. He noted the phrase "paved access road" in the
first paragraph of the second page of his report should read
"adequate access road" . He stated that the vehicle bridge that
would provide access from Cristo Rey Drive had been deleted
from the County's Phase I construction plans and noted he
recommended in his report that the Board ask the County to
proceed with the construction of the bridge in order to reduce
the number of vehicles using St. Joseph ' s Avenue and the St.
Joseph' s bridge over Permanente Creek.
H. Grench noted the County had included a bridge in its plans
for the park to serve people using the picnic area that would
be located on District property. He said that, if the Board
requested the County to proceed with the bridge, they would in effect
be confirming development of a picnic area on District land.
D. Wendin noted that development plans for a picnic area or any
other type of development on District land would have to come back to
the Board for approval and said that, if the County were to acquire more
land in the area ,it might not be necessary to have a picnic
area of District land.
Kathy Blackburn, the District' s Coordinator of Volunteers, stated
that her main concern was that the Preserve retain its "wild"
features and suggested that positive input could be received
from various groups and concerned individuals for planning done
in the future.
Meeting 80-25 Page Six
K. Duffy noted the need for joint County and District public
hearings and study sessions for future planning for the park.
N. Hanko asked if it might be possible for one or two Board
members to attend meetings that District staff members had
with County officials when discussing the park.
H. Grench responded it would be better for staff members to
follow-up with County officials and report to the Board on
what had transpired in meetings.
D. Wendin requested that staff provide a monthly informational
report on developments and activities relating to the County' s
actions relating the park.
R, Bishop noted the need for the members of the Board to be
Involved in all future planning for the County park in order
to try to maintain the characteristics of the Rancho San Antonio
Open Space Preserve that currently attract people to the
area.
Joyce Roderick, a Los Altos resident and the Director of the
Environmental Volunteers , expressed her concerns regarding the
the effectsrecent development would have on the Preserve, said
she would like to be involved in an future planning activities,
and urged that a master plan be developed for the area.
Frank Leahy, 1885 California Street, #79, Mountain View, stated
the installation of the County 's bridge would have a negative
effect and would not reduce traffic on St. Joseph' s Avenue. He
said that construction of the bridge should be part of a larger
master plan.
Harry Haeussler, 1094 Highland Circle, Los Altos, expressed his
concerns regarding individuals who felt that Rancho San Antonio
Open Space Preserve was for their private use and encouraged
individuals who cared about the Preserve to become actively in-
volved in planning activities at all governmental levels.
D. Wendin stated that it would be a mistake, at this time, to
request that the County complete its bridge construction. He
felt it was important to review the County's acquisition plans
and to evaluate problems the District might face, such as il-
legal access to the Preserve.
S. Sessions noted there was a need to discuss the integrity of
the St. Joseph' s bridge and said staff would return to the Board
with a staff report on the matter.
Motion: N. Hanko moved that staff be directed to develop a master
plan for the site that would involve the County of Santa
Clara, the City of Mountain View, and interested user
groups, as deemed appropriate by District staff, and that
the results of such efforts be reported monthly to the
Board. The motion was not seconded.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board direct staff to renew
joint planning for development, use, and management of
both the County park and the affected areas of the District' s
Preserve with appropriate involvement of the City of
Mountain View and interested user groups . This is to include
specifically the control of vehicle access across the
Meeting 80-25 Page Seven
planned Cristo Rey Bridge, and staff is requested to
report back monthly in an Informational Report on their
progress. N. Hanko seconded the motion.
Discussion: D. Wendin noted that, in due course, a master
plan of the whole area was necessary. K. Duffy said that
a joint planning/study session would be appropriate.
The motion passed unanimously.
Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board request the County to
chip seal the access road and to proceed with an interim
landscaping plan. B. Green seconded the motion.
Discussion: Marcia Johnson requested that the Board
consult with the County on the type of landscaping that
would occur. K. Duffy indicated she would vote against
the motion since the chip sealing and major landscaping
could wait until a plan was developed for the area. She
said grass could be planted at this time as a landscaping
measure. R. Bishop requested that the Board review the
County' s landscaping plans . D. Wendin noted it was im-
portant to have the cuts for the access road landscaped
before the winter rains.
Amendment to the Motion; D. Wendin moved to amend his motion,
seconded by B. Green, by removing the request to
chip seal the access road and by adding the words
" ,a
fter review of the plan by District staff" at the
end of the motion. N. Hanko seconded the amendment to
the motion. The amendment to the motion passed
unanimously.
The amended motion passed unanimously.
The Board recessed for a break at 9 :50 P.M.
The Board reconvened for the public meeting at 10 :00 P.M.
X. OLD BUSINESS WITH NO ACTION REQUESTED
A. Camping at Windmill Pasturei Area
S. Sessions reviewed memorandum M-80-85, dated November 7, 1980 ,
noting he would be meeting the following week with Hidden Villa
staff to discuss their camping needs and the District's
concerns over camping at Windmill Pasture.
B. Green asked when camping on Monte Bello would be implemented.
S. Sessions responded that camping on Monte Bello was part of the
Monte Bello Development Plan and was tied directly to the provision
of amenities , such as access, toilet facilities , and water. He
said staff was currently working on the parking lot portion of
the plan.
D. Wendin suggested the Board might want to address the Monte
Bello camping issue separately in the event the parking lot issue
holds up other parts of the plan.
N. Hanko said the Board had not given its final approval for
the Monte Bello Development Plan, but noted the plan could be
amended into segments if necessary in order to proceed on certain
parts of the plan. She said the Site Emphasis Committee would
probably ask the Board to address camping as an issue.
H. Turner requested S. Sessions to report back to the Board after
his first meeting with the Hidden Villa representatives.
