Sessions, Land Manager SUBJECT: Disposition of Hassler Health Home Buildings Introduction: In accordance with Board action at the May 28, 1980 Public Hearing to consider proposals for uses of the Hassler Health Home buildings, the Public Hearing has been continued to July 9, 1980. Staff has contacted the Golden Gate Council of the American Youth Hostel, Inc. (AYH) and requested that a definite response be made at the July 9 Board meeting in order to resolve the question of disposition of the subject buildings . The May 28 Public Hearing on possible building uses did not identify any new proposals for recreational uses, other than a potential for a hostel operation. The homeowners in attendance at that meeting could not comment fully on the concept of a hostel use because of a lack of information from American Youth Hostel. Some confusion existed as to the extent of notification and information that the District expected from AYH. This confusion has been clari- fied, and AYH has made contact with the Brittan Heights Homeowners Association to inform them of the extent of the hostel proposal. Staff has been notified that a representative from the American Youth Hostel will be present on July 9 (see attachments) . Discussion: As part of the planning process, you will be reviewing the American Youth Hostel proposal on July 9, 1980 and may receive input from members of the public in attendance. It is recommended that you refer the AYH proposal to staff for analysis and inclusion in the Environmental Assessment to be prepared for the demolition of the buildings, if you deem the proposal feasible and desirable. After analyzing the proposal, staff would review their findings in a follow-up report to the Board. In order to proceed with the Hassler acquisition/demolition project, exclusive of any recreational use proposal, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (E. I.R. ) is required. The extent of the E.I.R. would reflect the District's proposed use of the site by evaluating the removal of all existing structures , including service roads and utilities, and implementing a land management i R-30-40 Page Two recovery plan for use of the site as an open space preserve. A consultant would be required to prepared the E.I.R. document which would include a demolition/salvage assessment and a cost estimate. As part of the Environmental Impact Report, the consultant would prepare an assessment evaluating the American Youth Hostel proposal to retain two buildings and operate a youth hostel on the site. AYH would pay for this portion of the E.I.R. The assessment docu- ment would take approximately 120 days to prepare and would cost between $7,000 to $13,000. The AYH portion of the report is esti- mated to cost approximately $500 to $1000. Staff has been notified by the Office of Historic Preservation that the buildings have no historical significance, and staff has historic clearance to demolish the buildings. It is anticipated that, based on the assessment, all environmental impacts will be short term and associated with demolition of the buildings. The long term benefits should mitigate these short term impacts, and therefore, the project could receive a negative dec- laration. Recommendation: In order to proceed with the project, staff recommends that the Board of Directors refer any desirable use proposals to staff, authorize staff to solicit bids and award a contract for the services of a consultant to prepare the required environmental assessment documents, and authorize the expenditure of up to $13,000 for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report. The funds for the E.I .R. are currently included in land acquisition' s budget for the demolition of the Hassler buildings. If a proposal on use of the buildings raises serious questions, staff may return to you before a consultant is engaged with further information or for further direction.

Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Circle, Suite D-1 Los Altos, CA 94022 Dear Mr. Sessions: The Board of Directors has voted to pursue the possible use of buildings at the Hassler Health Home for a chartered American Youth Hostel. We have identified those residence structures south of the main drive con- sisting of one single family dwelling and a duplex. Depending upon the feasibility of using basement areas or the possible use of half of the duplex by a resident caretaker of MROSD we would operate a minimum of 20 and a maxi- mum of 40 beds with kitchen and commons. There would also be 2 to 4 perma- nent staff members residing in these buildings. A hostel at Hassler would be operated in a like manner to those we operate in the Bay Area (Golden Gate, Point Reyes, Sacramento, Montara Lighthouse.) Standards, practices, hours are listed in the information I will attach to this letter. Ile project that the majority of users to Hassler will be bicyclists, hikers, and possibly some automobiles. It is probable that we will require parking space for 5 to 15 vehicles including those of the staff. Some hostelers may arrive in the area by bus, but it is not projected that Hassler will be easily accessed by those using buses. Our resident staff would be responsible for hostel operations and would maintain those buildings and the adjacent grounds within a reasonable boundary. The Board has authorized the expenditure of up to �500 to participate in the reouired engineering and env'iron-nantal assessment studies. If costs exceed that figure we need to reevaluate and get additional authorization. Jean Rusmore is contacting the local homeowners association to familiarize them with hostel operation and plans. The most critical and unanswered question is the cost of utility connections to the proposed residences and the structural assessment of the buildings in question. I will attend your meeting of July 9 to answer other questions raised by your Board. Sincerely, J � i°ark Yti.

Britton, Assistant General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: S. Sessions, Land Manager, and C. DiGiovanni, Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Determination of Public Necessity - Proposed Addition to Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve (Coplon Property) Introduction: This 217 acre property located on Skyline Boulevard in an unincorporated area of San Mateo County is adjacent to a portion of the District' s 185 acre Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. Situated at the 2 ,572 foot summit of Borel Hill, this property is • part of the three mile long grass-covered Russian Ridge, which is • prominent Skyline landmark seen from the urban Midpeninsula. The site is a key part of the planned Skyline Corridor Trail, which will become a major recreational route linking public lands in three counties . Since the property is positioned along Mindego Creek, it could also form part of a trail connection to Pescadero Creek County Park along the creek corridor. The property affords 3600 degree sweeping vistas and any development on the ridgetop would impact the Skyline Scenic Corridor. A. Description of the Site (1) Location and Boundaries. Located on the west side of Skyline Boulevard (State Highway 35), 0 .7 miles from the Alpine Road intersection, the property is bounded by the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve and private property to the south, Skyline Boulevard to the east, and private property on all other sides. The Mt. Melville portion of the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve is located one mile to the north, and Los Trancos and Monte Bello Open Space Preserves are 1. 5 miles to the east on Page Mill Road. (2) Topography, Geology and Natural Landscape. A 2,572 foot benchmark is the high point on the site, and the low point is 1,400 feet near two tributaries of Mindego Creek which flow through the property. Skyline Boulevard frontage is located on Russian Ridge itself and contains the summit of Borel Hill, a prominent Skyline landmark. The western half of the property is contained on the moderately steep west-facing slope of the ridge. R-80-37 Page Two Open grassland covers the ridgetop portion of the site, and oak-madrone-Douglas fir woodland grows on the steep west-facing slopes and along the Mindego Creek tributaries. B. Planning Considerations The entire property is located within San Mateo County' s Resource Management District. A density matrix applied to the property by the San Mateo County Planning Department for appraisal pur- poses showed that there is a potential for 12 dwelling units on the property. The western 134 acre parcel is outside the District's boundary. The owner has filed a petition to legalize a previous illegal subdivision, which included the property, and has had a proposed building site designated on the ridgetop. C. Relationship to Regional Trails The planned Skyline Corridor Trail would most logically be routed on the top of Russian Ridge on the existing Preserve and would continue on through this property to connect with the Mt. Melville parcel and Windy Hill to the north. D. Current Use and Development This property is part of a 1300 acre area on Russian Ridge, including 130 acres of the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, that is leased by a cattle tenant. Dirt roads and trails located on the property are shown on the attached map. No structures are contained on the site. E. Potential Use and Management As previously identified, this site represents a vital section of the planned Skyline Corridor Trail. Acquisition would improve public access to the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, since a dirt road enters the site directly opposite a vista point on Skyline Boulevard. F. Use and Management Recommendations (1) The site should be open to hikers who can gain access from Skyline Boulevard or the existing portion of the Preserve. Equestrians should not be permitted on the site because of the incompatibility with the cattle. (2) The current lease agreement with the tenant for cattle grazing rights should be continued. G. Name It is recommended that the property become an addition to the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. R-80-37 Page Three H. Dedication It is recommended that this property be dedicated as public open space land. I. Terms Land Acquisition staff has been attempting to work with the Coplons since before they purchased the parcel (July 31, 1978) and staff has not been able to reach a compromise that would save this critical parcel. An appraisal has been completed and offers to acquire the property have been made accordingly. At this time, staff feels that meaningful negotiations are at an impasse, and because of the absolutely critical nature of this property, the District should take the necessary steps to acquire this property through the eminent domain procedures. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, Finding and Requiring that the Public Interest and Necessity Require the Acquisition of Certain Properties for Public Use, to Wit: for Public Park, Recreation and Open Space Purposes, Describing the Properties Necessary Therefore and Authorizing and Directing its Retained Legal Counsel to do Everything Necessary to Acquire All Interests Therein. (Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve Coplon Property) . In addition, it is recommended that the Board adopt the use and management recommendations contained within this report, dedicate the property as open space, and adopt "Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve" as the official name of the site. i a>'_��ter�-.-t' y. :a, _��-- � •.u. � -� - ti.���` -` •.ice �4d•7-.•�.. � ,�g rj ,. . ` .. _, 7 �'�';t-'T•�••.;r'� 4�� � �° ti "'C: �iy �t�'�a• •� •' pM�� �r`.��t sia'�i'�'.r .�'Vf.v.���_+;-'+a :•�--• .��`'�: �,�.-._ -..-t �� ) '•. a \ sTe•R�l�' :.+.. +� y :s�`a�;Y'':� -'c�;rsa'''..�3d � ir-'� !

Britton, Assistant General Manager PREPARED BY: S. Sessions, Land Manager, and C. DiGiovanni , Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment to Proceed with Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Fire Breaks Introduction: Staff has been working with a consultant on a pro- posed fire management plan for the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. A public presentation had been scheduled for Monday, June 30, 1980 to discuss the plan with neighboring property owners who were within one-half mile of the first year' s proposed burn area, and staff had planned to present the plan to you at your meeting of July 9, 1980. However, since the fire management consultant was unexpectedly called out of state to help combat a fire in Arizona, both the June 30 meeting and the July 9 agenda item were cancelled and will have to be rescheduled for a later date. Discussion: At this time, even though the presentation of the fire management plan has been postponed, staff feels that it is necessary to proceed with the cutting of fire breaks in strategic areas of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. Such breaks would serve to protect adjacent private property and the Preserve, and the con- struction of fire breaks would be recommended even if the fire management plan was not implemented. Staff has contacted the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and they have indicated that work on the firebreaks (which would also be a requirement of the fire management program, if approved by the Board) could begin in July and would be provided at no labor cost to the District. Environmental assessment documents for the fire breaks must be pre- pared for review by the City of Palo Alto. It is anticipated that a negative declaration would be granted the project since the re- moval of brush and forest undergrowth are insignificant negative impacts, and the long term in-pacts of improved fire protection are beneficial. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors authorize staff to enter into contract agreements with the California Conservation Corps to construct the fire breaks on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve pending environmental clearance from the City of Palo Alto. R-80-38 (Meeting 80-15 oe 7/9/80 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Agenda Item No. 4) REPORT June 26 , 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager, and S. Sessions, Land Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Acquisition of Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area Introduction: The District has been working with Peninsula Open Space Trust (P.O.S.T. ) over the past 2k years to acquire the Crittenden Marsh parcel from Leslie Salt Company, which is now a part of Cargill Corporation. As a result of these combined efforts, Leslie Salt has donated this 54 acre parcel to P.O.S.T. , thereby allowing the District in turn to purchase the property from P.O.S.T. by utilizing previously awarded grant funds. The parcel (see attached map) is in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County, within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Mountain View. The parcel is surrounded by a large land area owned by the Leslie Salt Company that is utilized for their salt evaporation process. Although no specific plans have been formulated for the use of this parcel, the concept is to provide a low-intensity-use nature study area, with interpretive programs. The management plan would serve to protect and enhance a valuable and vanishing natural resource of the original Bay margin, part of which is located on the parcel. A. Description of the Site 1. Location and Boundaries The property is bounded on the south and east by Moffett Field Naval Air Station. Stevens Creek is adjacent to the parcel on the west, and Mountain View Shoreline Regional Park, a large regional park planned to facilitate boating, golfing, picnicking, and hiking, bicycling and equestrian trails, is westerly of Stevens Creek. The property is within the jurisdictions of Santa Clara County, the City of Mountain View, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) . The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently investigating the extent of its jurisdiction. The Conservation Element of the General Plan for the County of Santa Clara recommends the provision of ecological preserves, representing such natural communities R-80-38 Page Two as the salt water and fresh water marshes, by both the County and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. 2. Description of the Environment This parcel represents part of a once vast biotic community that was associated with the original Bay margin. The fresh water marsh area, which covers much of the property, supports a large bird population and provides a rich habitat for many small rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. A large variety of invertebrate species may also be found in the water and mud. The higher, drier, southern portion of this property supports a small grassland area that is intolerant of salt. Distur- bances of this vegetational community often lead to intrusion by pickleweed. Along the levee, which serves as the property' s western boundary, a weedy, roadside vegetation that is typical of disturbed areas is found. 3. Natural Resources A detailed biotic reconnaissance was not performed. However, based on previous studies of the surrounding baylands, this area serves as a vital refuge for a variety of wildlife which may include endangered species, such as the clapper rail and the salt marsh harvest mouse. No historical/archeological assessment was made, although several sites have been identified in the area. As previously mentioned, this property had been part of a larger holding from which salt had been extracted by means of solar evaporation. It is no longer part of the series of ponds used for this evaporation process. 4. Existing Development and Restrictions The property is tidal land, and there are no improvements on the property. The property is separated from Stevens Creek channel by a levee, and Leslie Salt Company levees separate this property from existing salt ponds. The property is partially separated by levees from the United States Government ownerships to the east and south. No public utilities such as water, sewer, electricity, gas and telephone are on the property at the present time. An easement access to the property extends from Stierlin Road, down Crittenden Lane, across Stevens Creek channel and then on top of the east Stevens Creek levee to the subject property. Further, an avigation easement for the benefit of the Moffett Field Naval Air Station is in existence across the northeasterly corner of the property. Based on R-80-38 Page Three the formula in the restriction, no building improvements exceeding 10 feet in height at the southerly line nor 20 feet in height at the northerly line can be constructed on the subject property. B. Conformity The acquisition of this property has been found to be in conformity with the General Plan of Santa Clara County, the City of Mountain View, and the City of Sunnyvale. C. Public Access The access to this property is sufficient for patrol and maintenance only, as public access rights require an agreement with Santa Clara Valley Water District. If this purchase is approved, staff would work with the Water District to provide public access; the Board of Directors of the Santa Clara Water District adopted a resolution of intent on March 2 , 1976 to enter into a joint use agreement with the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District which would permit public access to the property, if the District acquired the property. Sufficient access is also required for grant reimbursement and would be a necessity to complete this project. D. Use and Management Recommendations Although the property contains a segment in the proposed Bayfront Trail system, the adjacent lands are presently under private ownership or have severe restrictions. Additionally, the sensitive and fragile nature of the marsh should be protected and therefore: 1. Public access and use of this land should be limited to the levee via the easement access across Stevens Creek Channel when public rights have been obtained from the Water District. 2. Boundary markers and preserve signs should be installed as appropriate. 3. Because of the remoteness of the site from other District properties, land management activities would be limited to a random patrol frequency. Efforts would be made to effect a mutual assistance agreement with NASA/Ames and the U.S. Navy (Moffett Field) to provide perimeter security and patrol surveillance. 4. Staff would continue to coordinate with Santa Clara County Water District, Mountain View Parks and Recreation, NASA/Ames, and the U.S. Navy to plan a levee configuration and bridge location consistent with the Bayfront Trails Plan. R-80-38 Page Four The completion of the Bay Front Trail is an ongoing coordi- native effort, and the full public impact on this site would not be apparent nor addressed until completion of the trail (including securing the necessary property rights) . It is anticipated that very little public use would be made of this parcel until it is connected with the public trail system, and this interim, low-key management approach should be sufficient until the entire question is addressed. E. Dedication It is recommended that this property be dedicated as open space land. F . Name It is recommended that this property be known as Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area. G. Terms This parcel has been donated to Peninsula Open Space Trust by Leslie Salt Company, making it possible for the District to acquire the property at the bargain price of $208, 000 (the total amount of the approved grant) . This method of acquisition is widely used by land trusts throughout the country, and especially in California, to encourage landowners to make gifts of land to private foundations that would make additional open space and park lands available to public agencies at bargain prices. This method supplies land trusts with additional funds necessary to carry on their programs and simplifies normally complicated public acquisition projects. The District' s land and water grant is being matched by the value of the gift portion of the Crocker parcel purchase (North Foothills Open Space Preserve) . This purchase is budgeted in the Committed Lands category, and except for the State Grants surcharge (1. 6%) is fully reimbursable by the District' s current grant. This would be an all cash transaction, and it is assumed that escrow would close immediately. Recommendation: It is recommended that you adopt the Proposed 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 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 - (Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area) . In addition, it is recommended that the Board adopt the use and management recommendations contained within this report, dedicate the property as open space, and adopt "Stevens Creek Shoreline Nature Study Area" as the official name of the site. t r}' Ar _L lv 'If SALT EVAFORATIORS BOUNDARY // !

EXHIBIT Page of R-80-41 (Meeting 80-15 7/9/80 MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT Agenda Item No. 5) REPORT July 1, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: C. Britton, Assistant General Manager PREPARED BY: S. Sessions, Land Manager, and C. DiGiovanni, Environmental Resource Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Exchange of Property Rights to Provide for a Trail Easement Connecting Thornewood and Wunderlich County Park (Oswald Property) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has been offered the opportunity to acquire a public trail easement connecting Thornewood on La Honda Road in Woodside and San Mateo County' s Wunderlich Park. The easement would be acquired by a creative acquisition process of exchanging property rights and receiving domestic water for the Thornewood property at minimal cost to the District. A. Description of the Exchange of Property Rights. Ralph Oswald, who owns property across La Honda Road from Thornewood and adjacent to Wunderlich County Park, would like to extend an existing Skyline County Water District waterline by routing the pipeline over the Thornewood property. The waterline would generally be placed beneath the existing driveway from the Thornewood house to La Honda Road. The Thornewood house could be hooked up to the service at the time of construction for the normal fee. The construction would include the installation of a fire hydrant near the house. In exchange for granting a waterline easement for Oswald in favor of the Water District, MROSD would receive a trail easement across the Oswald property connecting to Wunderlich County Park. B. Description of the Trail Connection. The proposed trail easement shown on the attached map would cover approximately four acres of the 19 acre Oswald home- site and allow a trail to be routed at a 10% grade. Approxi- mately 0. 3 miles long, the trail would connect with Wunderlich Park by crossing La Honda Road near the Thornewood house, following the CalTrans road right-of-way uphill to a hairpin turn where the Oswald easement would begin, and basically R-80-41 Page Two follow the property line to Wunderlich Park. The trail would be located in a redwood forest on the steep banks of the Alambique Creek corridor. No houses would be visible from the pathway. C. Use and Management Recommendations. Since it is anticipated that the trail will not be constructed for a couple of years, or until such time as connecting trail rights are established on Wunderlich Park and Thornewood, no use and management recommendations are being made at this time. When a trails plan for this area is designed, staff will return to the Board with plans for a proposed trail route and specific use and management recommendations. D. Dedication. The parcel should be dedicated as a trail easement in accor- dance with Section 5540 of the Public Resources Code. E. Name. The parcel should be identified as a part of the Thornewood property. F. Terms. In accordance with the attached purchase agreement, this transaction, if approved, would provide for a public trail easement across the Oswald property in exchange for a water pipeline easement in favor of the Skyline County Water District across the Thornewood property. Additionally, MROSD would contribute $12 ,000 towards the construction of the waterline facility, including a fire hydrant. The entire project is expected to cost Oswald in excess of $50,000, and the District's share is considered to be very reasonable as a part of the terms of this exchange agreement. If and when the District decided to hook up to this waterline and install a meter, the customary charges would be required by the Water District ($1255 - $2105 depending on the size of the meter) . It is anticipated that no decision would be required on the hook-up until the disposition of the Thornewood buildings is determined. Recommendation: It is recommended that you adopt the proposed Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving and Authorizing Acceptance of an Agreement to Exchange Interest in Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute a Water Pipeline Easement in favor of Skyline County Water District, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant of Trail Easement to District and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction (Thornewood Property) . In addition, it is recommended that the Board dedicate the parcel as a trail easement and include this easement as an addition to the Thornewood property. ................. ^r 400 J 1�11 _'rt•� R� rr21.2 �'.

ATTEST Clerk of the Board of Directors M-80-49 (Meeting 80-15 7/9/80 Agenda Item No. 7) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM June 30, 1980 TO: Board of Directors FROM: M. Foster, Controller SUBJECT: Appointment of Auditor for 1979-1980 Fiscal Year Background: Last year, the District switched auditors to Deloitte, Haskins and Sells (DHS) in order to gain the benefit of their greater experience in auditing government agencies and obtain a thorough review of our financial procedures. The result was very positive. The audit went smoothly, the financial statements were clear, and DHS made several worthwhile recom- mendations which led to improvements in our cash controls. Given reasonsable fee quotations, the District should maintain audit continuity with DHS for several years. Proposed Terms: DHS has proposed fees of $3600 for the 1979-80 audit, a $400 increase over last year. I consider this a com- petitive quote. Recommendation: I recommend that the Board appoint Deloitte, Haskins and Sells as the District' s auditors for the fiscal year 1979-1980.
