However, the Forum has been shifted to the Detroit area, Huron-Clinton Metroparks, on July 22-24, 1977 to reduce overall travel and time requirements for those members also attend- ing the National Association of Counties Conference, July 24-27, 1977 in Detroit. Hennepin County will be scheduled for a future forum. The 1977 Forum will feature tours of the larger Metroparks and will include at least one exchange of information meeting like those so worthwhile at NRPA Congresses. We have arranged rooms in the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Dearborn, a fabulous hotel, at the same rate as the NACO Conference, $26-$38 single and $36-$48 double per night. NACO will be using the Hyatt-Regency Dearborn and four downtown hotels and with the NACO Opening General Session at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 24, there will be time on Sunday afternoon for those with downtown hotel reservations to move. The first tour is scheduled to leave from the Hyatt-Regency Dearborn at i:00 p.m. on Friday, July 22, so many participants can fly in on Friday morning to Metropolitan Airport, 20 minutes away. Those who drive in from a distance or fly in from the West Coast may prefer to arrive Thursday evening. Spouses are welcome on the tours and there are other attractions nearby. The Hyatt-Regency is connected by a monorail people-mover to the adjoining Fairlane Town Center (shopping) and the world famous Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village is minutes (2 miles) away.

R-77-20 (Meeting, 77-11 Agenda item No. 1) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT April 7, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Monte Bello Open Space Preserve (Burns and Eldridge Properties) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has an opportunity to purchase approximately 758 acres of land in the upper Stevens Creek watershed along Page Mill Road, as an addition to the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve which lies 4 mile to the southeast. This property is an outstanding example of the type of open space lands the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District seeks to preserve; namely, a spectacular natural landscape approaching the wilderness category, yet only half an hour' s drive from the urbanized valley. The 2 ,600 foot elevation Monte Bello Ridge rises to a height of 1,000 feet above Stevens Creek canyon. The site offers sweeping vistas of the richly forested canyon and a variety of hiking environments , including open grassland and creek woodland. Although the site is situated in a pastoral setting, it is easily reached from anywhere on the Midpeninsula via Skyline Boulevard, Highway 280 , or Page Mill Road and should attract significant numbers of visitors. It could become one of the most heavily used of the District' s lands due to its accessi- bility and appeal. In addition to its own merit as a sizeable property in a rela- tively natural state, its location between existing recreational lands makes it a vital link in securing a significant contiguous open space belt free from disruption by development. The oppor- tunity exists for maintaining a 4 ,500-acre recreational cooridor extending from Saratoga Gap, Monte Bello, Los Trancos and North Foothills Open Space Preserves, Santa Clara County' s Upper Stevens Creek Parkand Palo Alto Foothills Park. If the en- dangered California mountain lion still roams the Santa Cruz Mountain Range, this wild western slope of Monte Bello Ridge is most likely part of its territorial range. Preservation of the proposed acquisition could be critical in order to secure this valuable wildlife habitat. R-77-20 Page two Since the property contains the headwaters of both Stevens and Adobe Creeks, it is key watershed land. It would also furnish better public access to the District' s Black Mountain Area via hiking trails on Monte Bello Ridge from Page Mill Road. A. Description of the Site. 1. Size, Location and Boundaries. The property is made up of three assessor' s parcels totaling 758 acres in the Stevens Creek and Adobe Creek watersheds and within the City of Palo Alto. It is bounded by Skyline Boulevard and Stanford University property to the south; Page Mill Road and the Duveneck Ranch to the north; private holdings to the west; and the remainder of the Stanford property to the east. The Los Trancos Open Space Preserve is directly across Page Mill Road from the proposed acquisition, and the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve lies .5 kilometers or approximately h mile to the southeast. 2. Topography, Geology and Soils. The site is made up of a series of ridges and knolls alternating with creek canyons. Monte Bello Ridge, with a 2,675 foot high point on the property, is the most prominent feature. The headwaters of Stevens Creek are contained on the property, fed by three tributaries. Three other creeks originate on the northern side of Monte Bello Ridge and flow into Adobe Creek. The San Andreas rift zone runs through the southern portion of the property, and several associated sag ponds and fault-related geologic features are evidence of its location. Soils are mapped as being of the Maymen-Los Gatos-Gaviota association, which is characterized by very shallow soils , low fertility, very high erosion hazard and very rapid runoff. 3. Vegetation and Wildlife. The vegetative mosaic of the site is similar to that of the Black Mountain Area, with grassland knolls and open slopes on Monte Bello Ridge and along Page Mill Road; and dense oak woodland inter- mixed with substantial amounts of Douglas fir, primarily along the main branch of Stevens Creek. The entire creek corridor was historically a mixed redwood and Douglas fir forest. old skid trails , logging roads and cut stumps are evidence that the less steep R-77-20 Page three easternside of the creek was clearcut during the early part of this century. Because it contains a variety of habitats in a remote lo- cation, this site should be rich in wildlife species such as mule deer, coyote, raccoon, red-tailed hawk, great-horned owl, and possible bobcat and grey fox. B. Current Use and Development. Monte Bello Road affords access onto the property from Page Mill Road at the northwestern cor- ner and crosses to the southwestern corner. A maze of unsurfaced roads and foot trails criss-cross the property. One road leads from Page Mill Road near the large barn and approaches the Stanford property, while another one branches off Monte Bello Road and ends at the PG&E line. Three of the major trails appear on USGS maps: one from Sky- line Boulevard to Stevens Creek; one from Page Mill Road opposite the Los Trancos parking area to Stevens Creek; and one from Monte Bello Road to the road near the barn. The site contains a number of structures in very poor condi- tion situated in the wooded canyons , a large corrugated metal barn, and several structures in poor condition fronting Page Mill Road. A water storage tank represents an inholding belonging to the City of Palo Alto. It is located on a separate parcel close to the portion of Monte Bello Road that crosses the property. C. Planning Considerations. The property is contained within the City of Palo Alto and is in the Open Space Zone (10 acre mini- mum lot size) . Additional planning policies regarding the property include the Santa Clara County Monte Bello Ridge Moun- tain Area Plan that shows it in permanent open space, and Santa Clara County' s Scenic Roads and Highways Element of its General Plan showing Page Mill Road as part of a scenic arterial route, Skyline Boulevard as a scenic highway and Monte Bello Road as a scenic road. The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space Master Plan evaluation, which rates lands according to various open space values, shows the property as scoring highest in the following cat- egories : protection of wildlife, natural vegetation and agriculture; wilderness experience; low intensity recreation; and view from scenic roads and highways; it scores in the second to the highest ranking on the composite map. D. Relationship to Regional Trails Plan. The draft MROSD Trails Task Force map shows two ma or trails on the site , one extending the length of Monte ello Ridge and one along Stevens Creek, both of which would link with the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve and the Black Mountain Area. R-77-20 Page four E. Potential Use and Management. The proposed acquisition has the potential forbecoming the beginning of the largest rec- reation area open to the public on the Midpeninsula and the District's first site offering parking facilities capable of accomodating large numbers of visitors. The site itself offers a variety of experiences that could attract geologists to study the San Andreas fault, botanists to learn about several con- trasting plant communities within a small area, birdwatchers in search of species that require remote habitats , and child- ren to fly kites on the almost ever-present ocean breezes. The docent program currently giving naturalist-led tours on the existing Monte Bello Open Space Preserve could in- clude the proposed acquisition. The programf"s emphasis could be altered to concentrate on regularly scheduled outings on this portion of the expanded preserve. All forms of low intensity recreation should be encouraged, such as hiking, horseback riding and nature photography. Since the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve is located just across Page Mill Road, provision should be made for both sites to be enjoyed in conjunction with each other by co- ordinating trails systems and providing hiking stiles at appropriate access points. F. Interim Use and Management Recommendations. Since preacqui- sition study of the property has been limited, more research will be needed in order to become better acquainted with the site and its resources. However, the following recommendations are being made until more information is available. 1. The Monte Bello Ridge portion of the site, delineated on the attached map, should remain open to hikers and equestrians who can gain access from the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve or adjacent properties. Equestri- ans with permits should be allowed to use a perimeter route along Page Mill Road in order to reach the open ridge portion of the site. 2. The portion of the site containing safety hazards should be closed until the hazards are removed. 3. A trail connecting with the Black Mountain Area, using existing roads and trails , should be temporar- ily designated until a trail system can be designed. See attached map for proposed temporary route. 4. All safety hazards should be removed. 5. The range should be studied for development of a grazing plan. R-77-20 Page five 6. If circumstances warrant it, arrangements should be made for a caretaker to live on the site , possibly in a mol7ile housing unit. 7. A use and management plan should be given high prior- ity and developed as soon as possible within the next year. 8. Perimeter fencing should be installed along Skyline Boulevard and Page Mill Road. G. Physical Improvement Projects and Initial Budget. Removal of safety hazards (tentative estimate) $25 ,000 Perimeter fencing along Skyline Boulevard and Page Mill Road 8,000 TOTAL $33,000 H. CEQA Requirements. Of the proposed actions included in the interim use and management recommendations , the removal of safety hazards is the only proposed action constituting a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act. This project is, however, categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of an Initial Study, Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Statement under Article 8, Section 15101, Class 1, of CEQA. I. Occupancy. The option agreement covering the 610 acre pro- perty contains a provision that "Seller warrants that there will be no persons occupying subject property at the time escrow closes. " Seller is currently involved in litigation to remove certain persons from the property. The litigation against these persons commenced prior to any discussions with the District relating to the purchase of the property. J. Terms, The total 760 acre site is under two separate owner- ships. one ownership consists of the most westerly 150 acres, and the remaining 610 acres is under another ownership. The 150 acre site has by option been offered to the District at a purchase price of $562 ,500 , all payable at the close of escrow. The 610 acre site has been offered to the District for a total price of $2 ,136 ,820, with $536 ,820 payable at the close of escrow. The remaining $1,600 ,000 balance is payable in ten consecutive equal annual installments of $160 ,000 each plus 6. 00% interest on the unpaid balance. Total payment for the 760 acres is $2 ,699,320. This figure is recommended as a fair and equitable payment based on a recent appraisal re- port of the property' s fair market value by an independent real estate appraisal company. R-77-20 Page six K. Name. The site should be known as the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve, Page Mill Road Area. The name should be left unofficial until the Board Subcommittee reviewing site naming policies has completed its work. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpen- insula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Agreement to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute any and all Other Docu- ments necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Addition - Burns Property) It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Exercise of Option to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Accep- tance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute any and all Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Addition - Eldridge Property) It is further recommended that the Board adopt the interim use and management recommendations contained in this report.

R-77-21 (Meeting 77-11 Agenda item No. 2) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT April 5, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve (Nellis Property) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has the opportunity to purchase 63 acres of land in the Cup- ertino foothills as an addition to the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. The Fremont Older Open Space Preserve presently consists of two non-contiguous units ; Unit I encompasses 334 acres , in- cluding portions of the former Seven Springs Ranch and Fremont Older Ranch, and Unit II consists of 218. 5 acres adjacent to the Santa Clara County Stevens Creek Park. The proposed acquisition represents a potential link between Units I and II that would join them to create a 619. 5 acre preserve. This addition would afford hiking and equestrian access from the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve to Stevens Creek County Park and the District' s Picchetti property via a trail about 3 miles in length, through a recreational land area totalling 1505 acres. This connection would increase the recreational potential of all these public lands , since the trail would make it possible for a visitor to explore all of them in a single outing. Further, the property con- tains the high point on the ridgeline above Stevens Creek Reservoir and serves as scenic viewshed for Stevens Canyon Road to the west and the existing Fremont Older Open Space Preserve to the east. The MROSD draft Master Plan evaluation, which rates lands according to various open space values, shows the property as scoring highest in the scenic backdrop category, and scoring second highest in the wildlife protection, wilder- ness experience, view from scenic roads and highways, and com- posite score categories. A. Description of the Site : 1. Size, Location and Boundaries. The proposed acqui- sition, shown on the attached map, consists of 63 R-77-21 Page two acres of land near the City of Cupertino and situated on a ridge which separates the Stevens creek and Cal- abazas Creek watersheds. The site is bordered by the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, Unit I, to the east and private holdings on all other boundaries. The northwest corner is contiguous to Unit II. 2. Topography, Geology and Soils. A ridge bisects the property in a north-south direction and is the dom- inant topographic feature on the site. Elevation varies from 800 feet to 1,033 feet, affording spec- tacular views in all directions encompassing the undeveloped Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve and the urbanized Santa Clara Valley. The San Andreas rift zone runs at a northwest-south- east angle to the site and is located two miles to the south and one mile to the west. Soils are of the Altamont-Azule association with very high erosion hazard and very rapid surface runoff. 3. Vegetation and Wildlife. The site contains vegetative communities that relate to both existing units of the Preserve : small grassland areas and an abandoned or- chard, typical of Unit I; and chemise chaparral with scattered oaks, characteristic of Unit II. Wildlife that would be expected to frequent the site include mule deer, coyote, brush rabbit and numerous bird species. B. Current Use and Development. There are no structures on the property. An unsurfaced road runs the length of the ridge, connecting with Unit I at the southern end and Unit II at the northern end of the site. This road is currently used by hikers and by equestrians from nearby stables. C. Planning Considerations. The major portion of the pro- posed acquisition is within the City of Cupertino, with the northwestern tip unincorporated but within Cupertino' s Sphere of Influence. Acquisition is in conformity with the General Plan of Santa Clara County. The Cupertino Planning Commission will be considering the question of conformity with its General Plan. r. R-77-21 Page three D. Relationship to Regional Trails Plan. The MROSD Trails Task Force map shows a major route passing through the property and connecting with Stevens Creek County Park and the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, Unit I. This access trail has the potential to link the Cupertino- Saratoga urban area with the main MROSD regional trails corridors. E. Potential Use and Management. The potential value of the proposed acquisition lies mainly in its location, which would link Units I and II of the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. A link providing hiking and equestrian access between both units of the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, the Stevens Creek County Park and the District's Picchetti Ranch would greatly enhance the recreational value of all three public land areas. The focus of use for this proposed addition would be its role as a trail corridor. A road/trail connecting the two areas is presently suitable for use by hikers and equestrians and for patrol purposes. F. Interim Use and Management Recommendations. The use and management plan for the existing Fremont Older Open Space Preserve is scheduled for review in May of 1977. Examina- tion of that plan will include review of the following recommendations: 1. Construct a woodrail fence to define the border of the private holding to the north, and install boundary signs where needed (see attached map for fence location) . 2. Designate the existing unsurfaced road as a hiking/ equestrian trail a suitable alternate route will be studied for inclusion in the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve Use and Management Plan Review scheduled for May 1977. 3. Remove one abandoned car. G. Initial Budget. Mitigation of safety hazards and general cleanup $1,000 Fencing and signing 5 ,000 TOTAL 6 ,000 R-77-21 Page four H. Compliance of Recommendations with CEQA Requirements. None of the above recommendations constitutes a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act as being an action resulting in physical impact on the environment directly or ultimately; therefore, no Initial Study or EIR need be prepared. I. Terms. The approximately 63 acre site is being offered, by opFir-o3n, to the District for $500 ,000 cash. This figure is below the property' s current fair market value and is based on the assumption that the property could be developed with no less than eleven dwelling units. The option requires the District to construct approximately 500 lineal feet of split- rail fencing along the northeasterly edge of the site. The option also is conditioned on the acceptance by the City of Cupertino of a development plan proposed on adjacent lands of the sellers. Should the development plan be substantially altered, then sellers would want to reconsider which land would be offered to the District. If the Cupertino Planning Commission should decide the proposed acquisition is not in conformity with the General Plan, staff will return of the Board on this matter. J. Name. It is recommended that the proposed acquisition be added to the existing Fremont Older Open Space Preserve and be known by the same name. This name should be left unofficial until the Board Subcommittee reviewing site naming policies has completed its work. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Agreement to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certif- icate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute any and all Other Documents Necessary or Appro- priate to Closing of the Transaction (Fremont Older Open Space Preserve Addition - Nellis Property) It is further recommended that the Baord adopt the interim use and management recommendations contained in this report.

HG:jg R-77-19 (Meeting 77-11, Ak, Agenda item No. 4) 1% 0&Wk MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT REPORT April 6, 1977 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: State Urban and Coastal Park Bond Act of 1976 - Grant Application for Additions to Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Background: On November 2, 1976, California voters approved the State, Urban and Coastal Bond Act Of 1976 (Proposition 2) , authorizing $280 million in State bonds for the acquisition and development of State and local park, recreation and coastal facilities. The Board of Directors of the MROSD supported passage of Proposition 2 by adoption of Resolution No. 76-26 on October 13 , 1976, as recommended by the General Manager (M-76-151 dated September 29 , 1976) . on January 12 , 1977 , the Board adopted Resolution No. 77-1 approving the priority plan for distribution of Proposition 2 funds within the County of Santa Clara, as recommended by the General Manager (R-77-2 dated December 31, 1976) . The District's share of the Santa Clara County allocation is expected to be $792, 694 . It is now timely to submit an application for these funds. The District is meeting with San Mateo County officials in the near future to discuss the allocation of Proposition 2 funds within that County. When the District' s share of these funds has been determined, staff will recommend an appropriate pro- ject within San Mateo County. Description of the Project: (a) Regional Setting. The proposed project would include suit- able lands in the Black Mountain area of the Santa Cruz Mountain Range, which forms the scenic backdrop for the Midpeninsula region. This area encompasses key watershed land containing the headwaters of two major creeks : Los Trancos Creek and Stevens Creek. Located close to existing public lands, the potential exists for securing a significant contiguous open space belt in conjunction with the Monte Bello, Los R-77-19 Page two Trancos and Saratoga Gap Open Space Preserves and the un- developed Upper Stevens Creek County Park shown on the at- tached map. The proposed project would offer improved P ublic access to the public lands mentioned above, thus increasing their recreational value. The additions also represent links in a proposed regional trails network. It is felt that this area is part of the territorial range of the endangered California mountain lion, which, if true, would make the area extremely valuable wildlife habitat. (b) Description of the Area. Situated at an elevation of about 000 feet, the terrain ranges from gently rolling grass- land knolls to steep canyon slopes. A variety of vegeta- tive communities are represented, including oak savannah, Douglas fir forest, oak-madrone woodland and annual grass- land, all in an undeveloped setting affording the wilderness experience. Because of the intermingling of vegetative communities in a remote location, the area offers prime habitat for mule deer, coyote, red-tailed hawk and the less common bobcat, grey fox and possibly the California mountain lion. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpenin- sula Regional Open Space District Approving the Application for 1976 State Grant Moneys (Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Acqui- sition Project) .
