Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Status of Interim Site Use and Management Recommendations Discussion: At its September 10 , 1975 meeting the Board con- sidered interim site use and management recommendations for Permanente Creek Park and Black Mountain Open Space Preserve as set forth in a memorandum (M-75-132) from the Land Manager to me dated September 4 , 1975 . As the result of discussion at the meeting, the Board directed staff to return in two weeks with a plan for the use of the ridgetop area of Black Mountain Open Space Preserve with respect to equestrians and hikers. Staff was also directed to meet with horsepeople to determine the historic use of Permanente Creek Park. Residents in the area of the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve were encouraged to work with the District' s staff in the development of long term planning for that site. Attached is a memorandum (M-75-141) dated September 18 , 1975 from the Land Manager to me addressing the matters contained in the Board's directive. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors adopt the recommendations contained in the Land Manager' s memo- randum (M-75-141) dated September 18 , 1975 . HG:acc N IIV M-75-141 (Meeting 75-21, 16 Agenda item No. 1) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT MEMORANDUM September 18 , 1975 TO: H. Grench, General Manager FROM: J. Olson, Land Manager SUBJECT: Status of Interim Site Use and Management Recommendations Background: At the September 10, 1975 Board meeting, staff was directed to restudy the adopted interim use and management recom- mendations for Fremont Older Open Space Preserve and the proposed recommendations for Permanente Creek Park and Black Mountain Open Space Preserve. Staff was further directed to meet with interested equestrian groups and return with a revised recommendation for the Monte Bello Ridge area on Black Mountain Open Space Preserve for the September 24 Board meeting, as well as revised recommendations for Permanente Creek Park and Fremont Older Open Space Preserve at a later date if deemed necessary. BLACK MOUNTAIN OPEN SPACE PRESERVE Discussion: The specific aspect of the Black Mountain Open Space Preserve recommendations to be restudied dealt with exploring the feasibility of having a permit exemption for the Monte Bello Ridge portion of the Preserve and determining if the District' s permit requirements on the remainder of the site interfered with previously established use patterns. After discussions with equestrians familiar with the area, it was agreed that the ridge portion of the site was the primary concern in terms of possible interference with established use patterns, and that the remainder of the site had not been regularly use by equestrians, at least in the last few years. As a practical matter, District rangers have never interfered with use of Monte Bello Road either by adjacent property owners, equestrians, hikers or bicyclists. This procedure has been followed because it is likely that the public already has rights associated with Monte Bello Road and that activity along the road does not significantly impact the Preserve. In effect, then, the District's past procedures affect- ing Monte Bello Road seem eminently compatible with those of the interested user groups. The only additional issue regarding the ridgetop is the desirability of providing water for recreational users of Monte Bello Road. There is currently a developed spring �ti'p Lf `,• ,y'Y--)1.

The previously submitted recom- mendations have been altered to clarify this situation. INTERIM USE AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: BLACK MOUNTAIN OPEN SPACE PRESERVE Past and Current Agricultural Use : While in private ownership, - _ this property has been used primarily for grazing cattle, with cattle remaining on the property on a year-round basis. Due to the relatively steep slopes and moderate to highly erodable soils , this year-round grazing results in relatively high soil erosion during the winter and spring months, with resultant loss of top- soil. Recommendation: It is recommended that the current year-round grazing be phased out and that grazing be limited to summer and fall months, and that no more than thirty animals occupy the area at any one time. Also, no bulls should be allowed as part of the grazing herd due to potential danger to users of the area. Past and Current Educational Use : The area has been used by I i Sunnyvale s Peterson High School as a supplement to their alter- native education program operated on the adjacent Stanford property. The San Jose State Biological Sciences Department is using this and other property on Monte Bello Ridge for an extensive bird banding program. Naturalist hikes have been given by organized groups. Recommendation: It is recommended, due to the rich diversity of natural resources, that use of the area be encouraged for nature study hikes, environmental education classes and work- shops, and that the San Jose State bird banding program be con- tinued. Past and Current Recreational Use : In the past, organized groups have used the area for hiking, and limited equestrian use has occurred primarily on Monte Bello Road. Recommendation: It is recommended that Monte Bello Road and the spring which feeds Gold Mine Creek be exempted from entry permit requirements. It is further recommended that such group hiking as has previously occurred be encouraged and continued and that staff develop trail routes which use existing roads during this interim period. Maps showing these trails would be provided to hiking groups. Equestrian use should be held off on the lower portion of the site at least until a trail system is developed for the site and the use and management plan adopted. Access points will be from the north and south on Monte Bello Road. M-75-141 Page four Additional Interim Recommendations : (1) Issue permits for group use general limited to not more than thirty people, and other permits as deemed appropriate by the General Manager. (2) Repair fence line adjacent to Monte Bello Road (A on map) . (3) Install new gates at B and C on map. (4) Grade existing roads where necessary to minimize erosion. (5) Maintain regular patrol. Overall Recommendations : It is recommended that the Board adopt the recommendations contained within this report, direct staff to develop a draft use and management plan by March 1976 , and adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Park District Amending Permit Standards (Resolution No. 75-13) to Exempt Certain Portions of Black Mountain Open Space Preserve. PERMANENTE CREEK PARK Discussion: At the September 10 , 1975 meeting, several members of the audience stated that they had been using the Perham Ranch on a regular basis for hoseback riding. Staff has discussed this issue with the Perham family, who state that they have never given permission for any regular use of the site and that they have vigorously patrolled the property to prevent trespassing. Staff has been working with Mr. Gordon Jennings , who has acted as liaison between members of the Castle Rock and Los Altos Hills Horsemen 's Associations and District staff, to clarify which particular trails audience members were referring to when they stated they had been riding on the Perham Ranch. It appears that these particular trails are in fact on adjacent property and not on the Perham Ranch. A field trip is scheduled for Saturday, September 20 to inspect the trails being used to determine which property they are on. If in fact these trails are on adjacent property, then the previously presented staff recommendation would not interfere with established equestrian use of the general vicinity. If the above is the case, Mr. Jennings concurs with the previously presented staff recommenda- tion for interim use and management of Permanente Creek Park and the active participation of equestrians in the long range planning for the site. Pending the outcome of the field trip and discussion with other local equestrians, staff will present a recommendation at the September 24, 1975 Board meeting. The only change in the previously submitted recommendations for the interim use and management of Permanente Creek Park is the consolidation of the recommendations regarding the potential caretaker 's residence. / VT' �CUESTA 1V_UTCLdIIT-- D='— fi+' - r;o(� - -'1 II Ij to r , "• ";t"=':(i 1 I +•�� e�, ram, - lt{ - �''p` �;V1Er'W, ,, 1 t4° et I{-- ��/ -`JI.

M-75-141 Page six INTERIM USE AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: PERMANENTE CREEK PARK Past and Current Recreational and Educational Use : In the past, this area has been subject to limited-use for hiking and for environmental education programs. The Environmental Volun- teers are currently developing a program for the site. Recommendation: It is recommended that group hiking be contin- ued and expanded and that a trail system be identified which uses existing roads. Maps of these trails would be provided to users. Due to the proximity of the site to the urbanized area and the diverse and outstanding quality of its natural resources , it is recommended that the District actively solicit use for environmental education programs . Past and Current Range Management and Agricultural Use: The site has supported a variety of agricultural uses, including cattle grazing, hay fields and orchards. Currently, the cattle grazing and hay crop operations of the Perham family are being phased out. In accordance with the acquisition agreement, the target date for this phasing out is November 30, 1975, and the final date is May 30 , 1976. Range Management Recommendation: It is recommended that staff take no action until a comprehensive range management program is developed. This program will be a part of the long range use and management plan for the site. Additional Interim Recommendations: (1) Issue permits for group use generally limited to not more than thirty people, and other permits as deemed appropriate by the General Manager. (2) Maintain regular patrol. .(3) Depending upon intensity of use and other management con- siderations, it may be necessary to engage a resident caretaker on the site. In order to do this , it will be necessary to determine the condition and suitability of the small house located on the north site of the main access road approximately 1/8 mile west of the Permanente Creek bridge. If this house is found to be unsuitable, it will be necessary to wait until another house is available on the site for the establishment of a resident caretaker. if it is deemed feasible, staff will establish a resident care- taker on the site. Overall Recommendations ; It is recommended that the Board adopt the recommendations contained within this report and direct staff to develop a draft use and management plan by April 1976. M-75-141 Page seven FREMONT OLDER OPEN SPACE PRESERVE Discussion: Due :to the complex nature of the various factors which influence use and management recommendations for Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, we will not be able to return with a recommendation at the September 24 , 1975 Board meeting. The primary issue regarding this site is the extent of recent equestrian use of the area and the involvement of the Castle Rock Horsemen's Association in planning trails associated with the site. Staff will meet with area residents in an attempt to determine recent past use and any significant hardships associated with the adopted interim use and management recommen- dations. With respect to participation of the Castle Rock Horse- ments Association in planning for the area, staff had invited this participation in mid-August through one of the members of the Association. Apparently this invitation was not conveyed to other key Association members. The letter delivered to the District at the September 10, 1975 meeting is in accord with the previous staff position of wishing to work with past and potential users, and staff looks forward to working with the Association neighborsand others in planning the implementation of a trails system related to the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. JO:acc RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT AMENDING PERMIT STANDARDS (RESOLUTION NO. 75-13) TO EXEMPT CERTAIN PORTIONS OF BLACK MOUNTAIN OPEN SPACE PRESERVE The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Park District does resolve that subsection "d" is hereby added to section 30.0 of "Permit Standards , Midpeninsula Regional Park District, June 25 , 1975" (Resolution No. 75-13) to read as follows: "d. The following portions of Black Mountain Open Space Preserve: (1) all of Monte Bello Road within the site (2) the developed spring which feeds Gold Mine Creek together with reasonable direct access thereto from Monte Bello Road. " (Meeting 75-21, A% Agenda item No. 2) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT 745 DISTEL DRIVE, LOS ALTOS, CALIFORNIA 94022 (415)965-4717 September 16, 1975 To Board of Directors From : Nonette Hanko Subject : Proposed San Mateo Santa Clara County Boundary Changes Dear Colleagues A study by the San Mateo County Local Agency Formation Commission has come to my attention which recommends boundary changes between San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties in the vicinity of Page Mill Road and Skyline Blvd. Because action is expected to be taken in the near future by Santa Clara County and the City of Palo Alto, I want to share with you the informa- tion I have obtained on the implications of such a jurisdictional land switch. The study recommends that the boundary between the two counties continue to follow the existing one of Los Trancos Creek to Page Mill Road and then a new alignment to follow the northern right-of-way of Page Mill Road to Skyline, and the western right-of-way of Skyline Blvd. to the San Mateo County boundary with Santa Cruz County. Present boundaries cross Page Mill and Skyline at aboutAt nineteen different locations. Since both the legal language of the established District ( MRPD and that of the annexation petition now in circulation in San Mateo County refers to County boundaries rather than a metes-and -bounds description of the territory included, the questions arose whether or not adjustments between the two counties could be made without affecting the description of the District and whether or not the actual boundaries might change. Bill Spangle, who prepared the District's legal descriptions advised me that both existing and proposed MRPD boundaries would be unaffected because of references to county boundaries as of November, 1972 ( and August, 1975 in describing the territory proposed to be annexed to the District Implications of the changes recommended by the study are as follows Aproximately 236 acres are involved immediately along Page Mill Road and Skyline Blvd ( both of which are designated as scenic corridors by Palo Alto Building setbacks are 100' along Skyline in both counties. However, the setback is 200' in Palo Alto. There is no building setback established by either county for Page Mill Road. Palo Alto , however , has established a setback of 200'. Herbert A. Grench,General Manager Board of Directors: Katherine Duffy,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Edward G.Shelley,Daniel G. Wendin Aproximately 120 acres would be transferred from Santa Clara County to San Mateo County Lands under the jurisdiction of Palo Alto are zoned for 10 acre lot sizes Lands under the jurisdiction of Santa Clara County are zoned Exclusive "A" which also permits one dwelling per ten acres However, the Santa Clara County zoning permits permanent mobile trailer instal- lations as a permitted use Current zoning in San Mateo County of lands westerly of Skyline permits 5-40 acre lot sizes depending on steepness of slope Lands northerly of Page Mill Road are zoned to permit 1-5 acre lot sizes under a slope density formula The latter 1-5 acre lot size would probably have the most noticeable impact on the City's zone standards along Page Mill Road along with the mobile trailer permitted use under the Santa Clara County zoning It would be my concern that the high standards established by Palo Alto be retained as a condition of any boundary changes , and furthermore, that an agreement be reached among the jurisdictions to retain the 200' building setback which has been established by the City of Palo Alto for both sides of Page Mill Road and Skyline Blvd After review of the San Mateo County LAFCo study, it was my opin- ion that the recommended boundary changes are reasonable from the stand- point of providing a more logical boundary than the present one, provided that the concerns mentioned above are adequately addressed by the City and Santa Clara County I wish to recommend that we send a letter expressing these concerns to the City of Palo Alto , Santa Clara County, and Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission Sincerely, �p"AA=__7 ,.y lit irw,y Bew AN / L � 1 . ` �• +' ` �f�� 1 !� `.� ��\.\�\mil ..• �l ( ^ III �� Za��-� of OX r ,�•� > .� ,� �^` '.•` ,,L, ,`�� .fir ; _ �/ �, � � - � � '' 6. �) ♦ t �:M �� in,:�.�..11tI, i��,�ll..V'.-_ _�`,,.,I r. --a_-..�L_��`�`�1 �. � r�% \ ,Z �_3 � � �� I� •' I\��" �/ ■ Lands which would be transferred �� to San Mateo County Lands which would be transferred t0 Santa Clara COUrit ' 7rwj�f l � —� Jr )i (( 1 M-75-139 At AA. 1j3L 'WL (Meeting 75-21, 'V Agenda item No. 3) Am a]= OW MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT MEMORANDUM September 18 , 1975 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H.

Previously you received a copy of a letter dated September 3 , 1975 from Mr. Sisk asking that any comments or a request for a time extension be received by Cupertino by October 2, 1975 . Attached is a letter which I have sent to Mr. Sisk regarding this matter. HG:acc -4%pet 6 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT September 17, 1975 Mr. James Sisk Director Planning and Development City of Cupertino 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino,, California 95014 Dear Jim: As we discussed on the phone recently, the Midpeninsula Regional Park District has received your letter of September 3, 1975 and accompanying documents regarding the Cupertino Hillside General Plan/Draft EIR. The letter was considered by my Board 4 of Directors at its meeting of September 10. We appreciate your acceptance of our invitation to present the information at our next meeting on September 24. Following that meeting the District may well want to study the topic and then perhaps to make comment on the plan itself or the EIR. Since the District's planning and acquisition program relates so directly with Cupertino' s hillside planning, District comments could be quite important to you. For this reason the Cupertino Planning Commission may wish to continue the matter beyond the September 22 date mentioned in your letter and take any MRPD comments into consideration before passing a recom- mendation on to the City Council. I recognize that the matter has been under study for quite some time by the Commission and would do whatever I could to insure timely response by the MRPD. Incidentally, the District's draft Master Plan will be ready for review by Cupertino and others in about two months.
