Gentlemen:
At the October 8th meeting, (1980) , of the Peninsula Regional Group (San
Mateo County) , Mrs. Peg Tonneson gave a brief description of the Thornewood
property and explained that your District is considering steps that may
affect the status of the buildings and some adjacent property.
As you know we support the District and understand the District's need to
assure financial viability for various holdings. In this case, the limited
information we have suggests that you are considering an arrangement whereby
an adjacent landowner would give the District some land in exchange for some
form of lease-hold rights to the buildings.
We would appreciate your sending us a summary of the situation, with the
alternatives you see, and your recommended action. Local concerns have been
voiced regarding the following points:
1) What alternatives are possible?
2) To what extent under each alternative will public access to the grounds
and/or estate building be possible
3) Will trail easements be honored
4) If a lease-hold is given, what provision for termination of the lease,
recovery of. the lease improvements, architectural control of improvements,
will be assured.
5) Do you have some customary way of including local residents in an
advisory body?
We would like to incorporate your response into a forthcoming issue of the
Loma Prietan. Please feel free to contact Clara May Lazarus or Lois Evraiff
if you have any questions. We appreciate your help.
I
Respectfully,
I

To The Board
725 Distel Drive
Los Altos, California 94022
Gentlemen:
I am writing to strongly protest the County access road leading into Rancho
San Antonio. I realize the road is in, and is in to stay, but I am still
protesting. When excavation of this road began, I called Steve Sessions
(MROSD) and he said he was disappointed that the road was as high up on
the hillside, but assurred me that completion of the project and the park
was 5 years in the future. It certa'nly was completed sooner than e-,pected'
When I asked why the large size of the road Mr Dave Christy of the County
Parks & Rec. Dept. replied that the size and the construction were to prevent
erosion from the hill above. I commented that there is water from the
water tower (providing a habitat for several species of birds and mammals)
dripping down the hill and , siting erosion on parts of 280 I felt the
possibility of erosion on this hill still e--isted. He agreed . I under-
stand that although the MROSD board approved the road none had visually
seen its construction and completion unt '1 recently. I hope the Board
will in the future follow development of MROSD land much more closely.
My second concern remains with further development of RSA. As an en-
vironmental volunteer. I feel any "improvements" to the fields near the
asphalt road in the form of tables, toilets 1p� will alter the fragile
ecosystem in that area. I have used both fields with groups of school
children writing poetry about a tree; dbsecting owl pellets under a large
bay, watching deer, squirrels and a variety of birds . I understand that
the County is considering purchase of the land on the other side of the
creek (where the old red barn used to be). If development of picnic tables,
etc. is to become a reality in that whole general area. please at least
have the development outside of the Open Space Preserve and within the
County park only!
Thirdly, I fear with all the obvious development off Cristo Del Rey, comes
certainly more people, but also different elements of people. I would not
want RSA to become another Stevens Creek; where one cannot find solitude
alone and where certainly one cannot send children alone safely.
I have tried to be objective and fair in this letter, realizing that
great changes are coming to the whole area. I hope you will consider
my comments. I also hope all concerned, County. MROSD and private citizens
work together for the best possible solut ons for the open space and its
inhabitants.

WHEREAS, the California State Legislature and the Governor have reviewed and
placed Proposition I (the California Parklands Act of 1980 - SB 624) on the November,
1980 ballot; and
WHEREAS, if approved, the above Act will provide $285 million to develop and
buy local, regional, and state parklands; and
WHEREAS, $85 million would be available for city, county and regional park
and recreation and historical resources programs; and
WHEREAS, $30 million would be available for urban open space and recreation
grants to cities, counties and park districts for critical unmet needs in major metro-
politan areas; and
WHEREAS, $70 million would be available for acquisition and development of
new parks and historical resources as well as providing additional facilities at existing
parks by the State Department of Parks and Recreation; and
WHEREAS, $90 million would be available to the State Department of Parks and
Recreation for acquisition and development of coastal and beach properties including
projects on San Francisco Bay and in the Santa Monica Mountain zone; and
WHEREAS, $10 million would be available for grants to local and state agencies
for State Coastal Conservancy beach access and coastal restoration projects; and
WHEREAS, leisure and open spaces in both urban and rural areas are a
necessity to life, since they have a substantial beneficial effect on mental and
physical health, economic productivity and social problems; and
WHEREAS, enhancement of parks, open space, and other natural resources have
direct economic benefit to our community and the state as a whole; and moreover, will
benefit the health and well-being of Californians.
WHEREAS, Proposition 1, unlike its predecessor on the June 1980, ballot,
would place before the voters of California a measure solely devoted to providing
funding for acquisition and development of parks and open space, recreation programs,
conservation of natural resources, and access to popular recreation areas;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the California Association of Park &
Recreation Commissioners & Board Members goes on record in support of Proposition 1; and

(Meeting 80-25
MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT November 12 , 1980)
REPORT
November 5, 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager
S. Sessions, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Cooley Landing-Acquisition of the Lands of Westbay
Community Associates (Ideal Basic Industries, Inc . )
Discussion: On June 3, 1980, the Board unanimously passed Resolution
80-25, accepting an assignment of an option for the subject parcels
and expending $50, 000 to extend said option to November 20 , 1980
(for background information, refer to report R-80-26 and memorandums
1.1-80-42 and M-80-43 , all dated June 3 , 1980) . Since that time, staff
has continued to work with Leslie Salt/Cargill Corporation on the
purchase of adjacent lands. Staff is optimistic that the bargain
purchase of the 150 acre salt pond will be accomplished; however,
this type of transaction may take many months of work, and could
not be concluded prior to the time deadline of the current Westbay
option.
At the meeting of June 3, 1980, the Board also passed a motion
requesting that the East Palo Alto Municipal Council give the District
firm assurance, in resolution form, that the Council in no way ex-
pected the District to be involved in a marina project. Such a
resolution was passed on July 7 , 1980 and is attached for your
reference.
At this point, the District has already expended $50, 000
(non-refundable) which would be applied against the $130 , 000
purchase price. These parcels remain a key to any development at
the Cooley Landing peninsula, including a marina, and would be an
asset to any regional recreation facility. Both parcels would provide
additional public bay frontage and access, although currently these
parcels do not have deeded access to a public road. Staff feels
these parcels still play a key role in the eventual bargain purchase
of the Leslie/Cargill property.
Use and Management: Because these parcels lack access to a public
road and because of the existing debris and broken concrete on
the site, this property should be closed to the public. The area
should be signed as a "Closed Area" and requested visitations to
the site will be handled by the existing permit procedure. Staff
would work with the other governmental agencies, including BCDC,
Page Two
having jurisdiction to investigate long range remedies for the
elimination of the hazardous situation resulting from the debris
on the site. Also, because of the lack of access and remoteness
of these parcels, patrol would be at a significantly reduced level
and not on a scheduled basis. Staff also recommends that these
parcels should not be dedicated at this time.
The encroachment of a portion of the adjoining land owner's boatworks
and associated auxiliary buildings should be investigated further,
and a month to month lease arranged if possible, otherwise, the
District should require that the encroaching improvements be removed.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors adopt
the accompanying resolution 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-Westbay Parcels) .
It is further recommended 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.
It is further recommended that these parcels be unofficially
called the Cooley Landing Bay Front Reserve. (I 'd welcome other
ideas! )

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT November 12 , 1980)
REPORT
November 5, 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager
S. Sessions , Land Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Rancho San Antonio open
Space Preserve (Petersen Property)
Discussion: on June 13, 1979, the Board passed Resolution 79-22 III
finding and requiring that the public interest and necessity
required the acquisition of the subject property (see report
R-79-26, dated June 6, 1979) . Since that time, staff has worked
with the property owner, his attorneys, and District attorneys
to achieve an amicable resolution for the acquisition of this
critical parcel. A voluntary settlement has been reached, but
because of title complications, the final terms of purchase will
be by stipulated judgment. This means that no contract, resolution,
deed, or certificate of acceptance is required. However, it is re-
quired that the Board approve the claim for the settlement amount of
$250, 000, a figure arrived at by mutual consent of the parties as
a fair cost, considering all factors including accrued interest from
the date of possession, and a composite of four separate appraisals
that were completed for the property. The funds for the purchase
would be all cash and be charged against the Previous Land Commitments
category.
Use and Management Recommendations: The use and management recommenda-
tions from report R-79-26 are reiterated as follows:
(1) The site should be open to hikers and equestrians who
can gain access from Windmill Pasture, Hidden Villa
Ranch or other adjacent private property.
(2) Preserve boundary signs should be installed where
appropriate.
(3) Portions of the existing trail are very steep, poorly
aligned, badly eroded and dangerous . Therefore, the
trail should be reconstructed at an estimated cost of
$1000. Erosion control measures should be taken on
the old route once it is abandoned.since there may not
be sufficient funds to complete the work this year, and
because there is no urgency to reconstruct the trail
with winter coming, this item would be rebudgeted for
next year if not performed this year.
P, Two
(4) This property should be named as an addition to
Rancho San Antonio open Space Preserve/ Windmill
Pasture area.
(5) This property should be dedicated as open space land.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you authorize the
expenditure of $250, 000 from the above-named budget category
by approving item # 1601 on the revised claims list. It is
further recommended that you adopt the use and management
recommendations made in this report and the official name of
the site as an addition to Rancho San Antonio Open Space
Preserve/Windmill Pasture area.
It is further recommended that this parcel be officially
dedicated as open space land.

MEMORANDUM
November 3, 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: J. Fiddes, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Public Notification Procedures
Discussion: At your meeting of October 22 , 1980 , you requested
that an item be placed on the November 12 agenda to allow you to
discuss the next steps to take on addressing the issue of ade-
quate notification of Board actions to the public. At the
October 22 meeting, it was noted that the November 12 agenda item
would be for the purpose of a structural discussion of how to
address the topic, rather than the merits of public notification,
and Director Duffy indicated it might be necessary to establish
a special Board committee to study the issue.
As you recall, the question of listing land acquisitions as Public
Hearings was discussed at your July 23 meeting, and the matter
was slated for agenda discussion at your October 8 Regular Meeting
(refer to memorandum M-80-22 , which was prepared for that meeting) .
However, due to the fact that two Board members were not present
at that meeting and the lengthy agenda, the Board members in atten-
dance decided to reschedule the item to a future meeting, and I
indicated I would place it on the agenda after Legal Counsel re-
turned from vacation. In light of the questions dealing with pro-
ject developments for the Rancho San Antonio Regional County Park
and camping in the Windmill Pasture area which arose at your last
meeting, you decided, by consensus, to place the item immediately
on an agenda to structure future Board action.
Recommendation: Due to the complexities of this public notification
issue and the various concerns that have been expressed by individual
Board members, I would support Director Duffy's recommendation that
an ad hoc Board committee be established. They could identify and
study the issues related to public notification and Public Hearings
and make recommendations to you.

MEMORANDUM
November 7 , 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Development of Rancho San Antonio County Park
Discussion: Attached is a memorandum M-80-81 of November 6 ,
1980, from Steve Sessions to me regarding Development of Rancho
San Antonio County Park.
Recommendation: The following items are recommended for Board
action:
(1) Suggest the City of Mountain View to obtain certifi-
cation of the St. Joseph' s Avenue bridge for handling
this load before continuing its use of the bridge
for bus transportation.
(2) Request the County to :proceed as quickly as possible to
install the bridge across the creek on the County
Park. Since the primary reason for the County to
build this bridge for their purposes is to accommodate
public traffic across the bridge to future County use
areas, this request would be reinforecment of your
earlier approval in concept of the County development
phases beyond Phase I.
(3) Request the County to "chip seal" the access road and
to proceed with an interim landscaping plan.
(4) Direct staff to renew joint development, use, and
management planning efforts with the County, with the
appropriate involvement of the City of Mountain View,
and report back to you on these efforts.
I will take responsibility for staff' s failure to inform you of
the change to the asphalt surface in Phase I. I think the pro-
cess and communication channels between staff and Board were
quite adequate. We simply "goofed" in not transmitting that
particular information, but I think the oversight is quite
understandable.

MEMORANDUM
November 6 , 1980
TO: H. Grench, General Manager
FROM: S. Sessions, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Development of Rancho San Antonio County Park
Introduction: In accordance with the Board' s request from the
Special meeting of October 27 , 1 have attempted to piece together
the history of the County' s park project leading to the present
development of the access road and identify the communication
gaps that resulted in the Board members and you being unaware
of the change in project scope which resulted in the paving of
the access road.
The Board also requested a status report be presented on the
development of the Rancho San Antonio County Park Phase I improve-
ments, elaborating on the bridge, circulation management, future
development, and possible mitigation. I have prepared the following
as information for the Board' s consideration.
Paving of Service Road. The project has been discussed over the
past couple of years and has received significant staff input.
There were several presentations on the project to the Board and
the community. The presentations to the Board of Directors at
the April 23, 1980 Board meeting (reference R-80-17 , dated April 16 ,
1980) identified the County' s Master Plan for the project and
discussed possible impacts. At the same time, a review of the
schedule for EIR certification and first phase development was
identified to the Board. At that presentation, it was staff' s
understanding that the intent of the first phase of the project
was to develop access off Cristo Rey, provide two parking lots and
a restroom structure, develop a vehicle bridge over Permanente
Creek and a gravelled service road that would lead to the Preserve
and connect with the District' s St. Joseph' s access road. Addi-
tionally, the bike trail was to be developed.
This first phase concept was restated by staff in the May 8 , 1980
review of the use and management plan for Rancho San Antonio Open
Space Preserve (reference report R-80-22 , dated May 6 , 1980) .
Subsequent to those reports to the Board of Directors, staff dis-
cussed the development of the Rancho San Antonio Park with the
County of Santa Clara Department of Parks and Recreation, and with
the City of Mountain View Department of Recreation, one of the
Preserve ' s prime users.
M-80-81 Page two
To the best of Land Management staff' s recollection, it was during
a meeting at offices of the Parks and Recreation Department that
staff was made aware of the County Project Engineer' s decision
to pave the entire service road as part of the first phase im-
provements. Although we were not involved in the decision process,
it appeared to be a logical decision, and beneficial to both the
County and the District. Subsequent discussion with Mountain View' s
Recreation staff confirmed their feelings of the desirability of
having a paved access road that would accommodate vehicular traffic
to the Preserve, thereby accommodating the Deer Hollow Farm program
requirements which involve busing school children to the District' s
permit parking lot.
The change in scope from a gravelled service road to an asphalt
service road was not considered by me to be an extensive change.
The service road had always been designed by the County to be a
two-way travel lane, approximately 24 feet wide, with curbing.
(Please refer to County' s Master Plan. ) Therefore, a change which
would provide a hard surface, i.e. asphalt, instead of just the
rock base, did not appear to be significant in nature. Staff
reported to the Board of Directors during subsequent Board meetings
in July, August, and September, the status of the County Park plans,
and the fact that the bids had been awarded and construction begun
on the park. The reports were presented to the Board as infor-
mational reports.
In retrospect, Land Management staff was both aware of and surprised
at the development that had taken place in the County park. I under-
took the task of interfacing with County staff working on the project.
Therefore, if the present situation is different than perceived by the
Board, I must assume that I did not communicate sufficiently or effec-
tively. The County has acted in good faith, based on the park Master
Plan, the District' s need to provide for current access and parking
problems, and the County's interpretation of the ultimate use of that
park as a "high intensity" recreational area. I feel that the intent
of the plan and the development is in the best interest of the District
and the community. It appears that the amount of development under-
taken in the first phase is greater than needed, especially in view
of the fact that the County elected to delete the vehicle bridge
from the service/access road at this time and include it at a later date.
It should be noted that the County also developed two additional
parking lots and installed the equestrian bridge, identified as
second phase development items, during the first phase development.
Vehicle Bridge. The Phase I plan included a vehicle bridge over
the creek to allow for patrol vehicles and accommodate the District' s
Preserve users. This was deleted from the project because of
timing. If the project had been stalled until the bridge was
designed, Phase I would not have been completed until the summer
of 1981. 1 feel that there is a need for this bridge, especially
since the road is paved. We had talked to the Mountain View Parks
and Recreation Department about using this park road for their
programs and eliminating user traffic from St. Joseph Avenue.
This approach has received their concurrence. The present St.
Joseph' s access road and bridge present some problems and the
M-80-81 Page three
integrity of the bridge has been questioned by the Mountain View
Parks and Recreation Department. Land Management staff was
aware of a broken bridge stringer and has replaced parts of the
bridge. However, if Mountain View is to use the St. Joseph' s
access instead of the Cristo Rey Drive access, the District
should suggest that Mountain View obtain certification that the
St. Joseph' s bridge will support their buses. Mountain View has
indicated that without access into the farm area by buses, class-
room visitations to the farm would probably be eliminated. If
the Board affirms this idea, we need to ask the County to proceed
with the bridge rather than defer completion until Phase II develop-
ment of the park.
Circulation. The present plan is to encourage all vehicular traffic
to use the Cristo Rey Drive access; the parking lot and restroom
will provide the amenities needed to complement the current casual
use of the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. With or with-
out the bridge, normal vehicular traffic would not go beyond the
creek. Land Management staff had assumed that this would be a
control point and handled like the present access from St. Joseph
Avenue, i.e. by permit, vehicles may proceed to the District' s
permit lot.
The County will be removing the temporary stream-crossing installed
for construction so that only the bicycle and equestrian bridges
will remain; the plan is to gate these bridges to prohibit vehicu-
lar use. If the vehicle bridge is constructed, a gate would also
be installed to control traffic. The District also has the option
of installing fencing and gates along the Preserve boundary, should
it be deemed necessary.
Future Plans. These are unknown at this time. If the County should
acquire additional land in the area, it could change the use/circu-
lation plan of the park. It would not, in all probability, change
the present alignment of the road and parking layout. It might
lead to a relocation in the group picnic area from the Preserve
area to another area in the park, but there would still be a need
for a parking area next to the tennis court area.
Management. The District had planned to assume management of the
park with Phase I until the County developed Phase II. Joint
County and District signs would be installed, the District would
patrol and operate the park as part of the Preserve; the County
would maintain the park. This management approach would establish
good use patterns by those who visited the Park/Preserve, and
would be beneficial for future operations.
The concept now is that the County will assume management of the
park, using their type of signs , and the District will provide
casual patrol, which could include opening and closing the park
gates. This may mean a change in our management concept, in-
cluding the possible installation of a property line fence and
M-80-81 Page four
gate and signs to identify the Preserve boundary. Items such as
curbs, guard rails, and fences to control traffic and possible
off-road use , and signs for rules and regulations still need to
be discussed with the County. The addition by the County of the
equestrian staging area means that we need to consider possible
additional impacts and control measures for horse use of the area.
Mitigation. There are several mitigation approaches which could
be considered, but the most feasible at this time appears to be :
1) encourage the County to proceed with an interim landscaping
plan to cover the areas affected by the road cut.
2) encourage the County to "chip seal" the access road. This
would mitigate the appearance of the asphalt.
Conclusion: It is my conclusion that even though the change from
a gravel road to a paved road was not formally concurred with by
the Board, the present access road will be beneficial in accom-
modating preserve users and the Mountain View Deer Hollow program,
provided that the bridge is installed in a timely manner.
Installation of landscape materials, including ground cover and
"chip sealing" the road surface, will mitigate the stark appear-
ance of the grading and the road.
The management plan needs to be discussed with the County. Staff
has some concerns over site conditions, signing, and procedures
that need to be resolved before we can make our recommendations
for joint facility management.
And finally, the communications problem has been resolved by re-
newed awareness of the Board' s sensitivity towards development,
and my ability to more closely ascertain the detail of which
information needs to be transmitted to you and the Board.

TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Camping at Windmill Pasture Area
Attached is a memorandum M-80-84 of November 6 , 1980, from
Steve Sessions to me regarding Camping at Windmill Pasture
Area. This is in response to a question raised at your
October 22 Board meeting.
From this memorandum and my own recollection, Land Management
staff had good communication (and had acceptance of the
result) with Hidden Villa when the recommendation was made to
phase out camping at Windmill Pasture. Communications were
complicated, involving three to five MROSD staff members, two
new MROSD staff members, old and new Windmill Pasture care-
takers, old and new Hidden Villa, Inc. staff, hostel summer
staff, etc.
District staff will be meeting again with the new Hidden
Villa, Inc. staff and Mrs. Dana in the near future to discuss
Hidden Villa needs and our joint concerns.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM
November 6 , 1980
TO: H. Grench, General Manager
FROM: S. Sessions, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Camping at Windmill Pasture Area
A question has arisen concerning the use and management of Windmill
Pasture, specifically as to allowing camping by Hidden Villa, Inc.
I have reviewed Land management files and concluded, based on the
file reports, that the District had an informal agreement with Hidden
Villa, Inc. to allow camping to continue on Windmill Pasture for
one year after acceptance of the property by the District.
It had been anticipated that a District camp facility would be
developed as part of the Monte Bello project, and this camp area
would provide for the Hidden Villa programs. This is still the
intent, but the implementation has been delayed pending approval
of the Monte Bello Plan by the City of Palo Alto. Palo Alto will
not approve a camp plan prior to approval of the entire Monte Bello
Open Space Preserve development plan and until provisions for water
and user safety are satisfactory. The approved Use and Management
Plan dated December 6 , 1977 (see report R-77-52) allowed for casual
day use and provided for the Hidden Villa camping program for that year.
The may 1978 review of the Windmill Pasture Use and Management Plan
(see report R-78-17 , dated May 4 , 1978) provided for a contract
arrangement with Hidden Villa to provide and manage an overnight
camp for one year.
In June 1979, the Board approved a use and management recommendation
(see report R-79-19, dated June 5 , 1979) to discontinue camping on
Windmill Pasture, as planned, except for occasional use by Hidden
Villa programs by permit, and phasing in the District' s Monte Bello
camp. This year' s Use and Management Plan, approved on May 6 , 1980
(see report R-80-22) discontinued all camping.
The concerns of Land Management staff over camping at Windmill Pasture
and the intentions of the District to eliminate camping at Windmill
Pasture and to provide a backpack camp area on Black Mountain were
discussed with Hidden Villa via staff to staff communications. Changes
in Hidden Villa staff and District staff requires the re-establishment
of communication methods.
M-80-84 Page two
The staff concerns which led to these use and management recommendations
are identified in the attached memo from Del Woods. The undesirable
conditions of fire hazards and illegal camping still exist, as well
as our inability to adequately provide access to the site for manage-
ment and fire protection. The problem has been compounded by reports
of roving dog packs in the area which have bothered hikers and
equestrians.
Because staff was having difficulties implementing the plans for
an alternate camp area in a timely manner, this year' s Hidden Villa
program requirements were accommodated on an informal basis. Staff
will be meeting with Hidden Villa, Inc. to review their requirements
and to determine how the District can accommodate their current
and future programs, either through the Monte Bello plan, if available,
or by providing for a special use permit procedure which would require
the Board to amend this year' s Use and Management Plan for Windmill
Pasture to allow camping by special permit.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM
November 3, 1980
TO: S. Sessions, Land Manager
FROM: D. Woods, Open Space Planner
SUBJECT: Camping at Windmill Pasture
During the summers of 1978 and 1979, various user groups were
permitted camping permits at Windmill Pasture. Although the Land
Management staff did not feel this was an appropriate or safe use
of the area, it was permitted because of a mutual agreement with
Mrs. Duveneck. Apparently, Hidden Villa, Inc. had operated a
camping program there in the past and it was her wish that the
program not be interrupted.
Land Management staff objected to this use primarily because it en-
couraged illegal camping in an extremely inaccessible and hazardous
fire area. Despite this concern, camping by permit was allowed
but closely monitored for two years. In that period of time,
illegal campfires became more frequent and staff became increasingly
aware of the potential fire danger. In the fall of 1979, we toured
the area with the Los Altos Fire Department in the hopes of en-
couraging them to improve access from Olive Tree Lane. They con-
firmed the hazardous condition of the property, but stated improved
access would neither help nor hinder their efforts to contain a
fire in this area.
Even though I was not directly involved, to the best of my recollection
various members of the Land Management staff were in contact with the
Hidden Villa program staff, and Hidden Villa was aware of the decision
to move camping to Black Mountain. Hidden Villa wanted to continue
camping at Windmill Pasture.
Following the storms earlier this year, the access road from Rhus
Ridge Road became impassable. Until then, it had been passable with
the VW patrol vehicle, which could have transported visitors in an
emergency. The road was not repaired because of the sensitive
nature of negotiations with the neighboring property owner.
In the spring of 1980 , the camping policy was re-examined. The
fact that we no longer had emergency access and illegal camping was
increasing reconfirmed the 1979 decision to discontinue all camping
this year. Public requests for camping were denied, but people
were informed of the District' s intent to open a backpacking camp at
Black Mountain. This camp would have emergency access, water, and
regular patrol to minimize the fire potential and offer visitor
protection.
M-80-86
Unfortunately, the use and management plan for Monte Bello was not
approved by the City of Palo Alto in time to initiate this use. This
area cannot be utilized without a use permit issued by the City. In
the meantime, Land Management staff cannot justify re-opening Wind-
mill Pasture for camping when all the same concerns exist and are
confirmed by the local fire jurisdiction.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
November 3 , 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager,
S. Sessions, Land Manager, and W. Upson,
Associate Real Estate Representative
SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve
(Guadalupe Rubbish Disposal Co. Property)
Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has
been offered the opportunity to acquire approximately 338 acres of
land in three parcels in an unincorporated area outside the Town of
Los Gatos. A 240 acre parcel would be purchased, and two contiguous
parcels comprising some 98 acres would be a gift to the District
(see attached map) . The three parcels are situated easterly of
Lexington Reservoir, near San Jose Water Works land and near the
Novitiate property which the Town of Los Gatos and the District are
jointly negotiating to purchase with 1978 Land and Water Conservation
Fund monies. The parcels are adjacent to the District' s Limekiln
Canyon Area.
A. Description of the Site.
1. Location and Boundaries.
This unincorporated property is located on Limekiln Road within
the Sphere of Influence of the Town of Los Gatos. The property is
bordered on the north by lands under consideration, namely the pro-
posed 44 acre Duffy-Barnes acquisition (see report R-80-62 , dated
November 3, 1980) , or already acquired by this District, on the
east and west by privately held property, and southerly by private
ownership, including San Jose Water Works land. The property that
the Town of Los Gatos and the District have under negotiation is
located 0.25 miles northwesterly , and the Kennedy Road area of the
Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve lies some 1. 75 miles easterly.
2. Topography and Natural Resources.
The northerly portions of the subject lands lie in Limekiln
Canyon. The holding resembles the present area of the Preserve
in that it contains principally the chaparral plant community.
Elevation ranges from about 800 feet at the bed of a seasonal
creek that flows into Lexington Reservoir to the summit of 1818
feet in the southeasterly quarter of the property. The lower
elevations contain an oak woodland community normally associated
R-80-61 Page two
with low and middle canyon areas. The upper levels are typically
chaparral interspersed with some outcropped rock formations.
3. Existing Development.
There are three points of access to the property. A dirt
road affords access to the northerly segment of the property,
and a P.G. & E. unpaved road and a jeep trail provide access
to the southerly portions. Limekiln Canyon Road leads from
Lexington Dam to a gravel quarry some three miles easterly.
This road may be used by the public and could provide access
to the northerly areas. The P.G.&E. road is gated where crossing
Santa Clara Valley Water District land. Several P.G. & E. facili-
ties are installed oh the subject lands.
4 . Conformity.
This proposed acquisition has been found to be in conformity
with the Santa Clara County General Plan. The P.G.& E. service
road which crosses the southerly portions of the land is part
of the County Trails Plan and has been identified by the Los
Gatos Trails Committee as a link in the trails plan. This
trail leads to the Kennedy Trails parcel. The proposed acqui-
sition is within the Los Gatos Sphere of Influence and found
to be in conformity with the Los Gatos General Plan.
B. Use and Management Recommendations.
1. The site should remain open to hikers and equestrians who
can gain access from Limekiln Canyon Road or any of the other
roads if granted permission by the owners of adjoining property.
2. Fencing and gates should be installed as required at points
of access to restrain use of vehicles. This may necessitate
an expenditure of up to $2 ,500.
3. Preserve boundary signs should be installed at appropriate
intervals.
C. Dedication.
It is recommended that this proposed acquisition be withheld
from dedication as open space since other lands would have to be
acquired to complete the contiguity of the Preserve, and further,
to permit the use of development rights as an asset and bargaining
tool.
D. Name.
It is recommended that the property become an addition to the
Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve and be unofficially desig-
nated as part of the Limekiln Canyon Area.
R-80-61 Page three
E. Terms.
The attached Purchase Agreement outlines the acquisition terms for
the purchase of the 240 acre residential portion of the holding.
This parcel has a site value of $300,000. The agreement provides,
in part, for a down payment of $87,000 (290) and the balance of
$213, 000 to be paid in 10 annual payments of $21,300 plus interest
at 8% per annum computed on the unpaid balance. As a further
part of the agreement, the owner will convey to the District by
Gift Deed two contiguous parcels comprising some 98 acres adjoining
the Priest Rock Area. The funds would come from the New Land
Commitments budget category.
Recommendation: It is recommended you adopt the attached Resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District Authorizing Acceptance of the Agreement to Purchase Real
Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance
of Grant to District, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of
Acceptance of Gift Deed to District, and Authorizing General Manager
to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary or Appropriate
to the Closing of the Transaction (Manzanita Ridge Open Space
Preserve - Guadalupe Rubbish Disposal Co. Property) .
It is also recommended that you approve the interim use and manage-
ment recommendations contained in this report, that Manzanita Ridge
Open Space Preserve Limekiln Canyon Area be designated the un-
official name of the site, and the 338 acre acquisition not be
dedicated.

RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager,

Associate Real Estate Representative
SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve
(Duffy-Barnes Property)
Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has been
offered the opportunity to purchase approximately 44 acres of land
south of Kennedy Road in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County.
This land would be an addition to the Limekiln Canyon Area of the
Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve (see attached map) .
A. Description of the Site.
The property is similar in character to the Kennedy Trails
portion of the Preserve which is located some 0. 8 miles to the
east and to the Limekiln Canyon area located 0.25 miles to the
west. Elevation on this steep, chaparral hillside parcel ranges
from 1,000 to 1,800 feet. Several dirt roads and trails,
principally used by equestrians, cross the property and connect
with private property and the Preserve. This parcel fronts
on the northern property line of the Guadalupe Rubbish Disposal
Co. property (see report R-80-61, dated November 3, 1980)
B. Conformity.
This acquisition has been found to be in conformity with the
General Plan of Santa Clara County. The property is within
the Los Gatos Sphere of Influence and is found to be in con-
formity with their General Plan.
C. Use and Management.
(1) The property is generally inaccessible to the public from
the north and east because of existing private property.
However, access can be gained via the Guadalupe Rubbish
Disposal Co. property to the south, and the land should
be open to individuals who can gain access from adjacent
private property and private roads with the permission
of the property owners.
Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Barbara Green,Nonette G.Hanko,Richard S Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin
R-80-62 Page two
(2) Fences, gates, and boundary signs should be placed where
appropriate.
D. Dedication.
It is recommended that this site be withheld from dedication
as open space land since it is separated from the Kennedy Road
portion of the Preserve and so as to allow for the possibility
of transfer of property rights, either fee or easement. These
property rights could include: density transfer, retention of
open space easements, or theoretically, disposal of a major
portion of the property. It should be emphasized that disposal
is not contemplated at this time.
E. Name.
It is recommended that this site become an addition to the
Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve - Limekiln Canyon Area.
F. Terms.
This parcel of land is being offered to the District at a total
price of $75 ,000 ($1,700 per acre) . In accordance with the
attached purchase agreement, the full purchase price will be
payable at close of escrow. The funds for purchase of this
parcel would come from the 1980-81 New Land Commitments budget
category.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board 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 - (Manzanita Ridge Open Space Preserve - Duffy-Barnes
Property) .
In addition, it is recommended that you adopt the interim use and
management recommendations contained within this report, withhold
the property from dedication, and adopt Manzanita Ridge Open Space
Preserve - Limekiln Canyon Area as the unofficial name of the site.

MEMOPUANDUM,
November 6, 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Vlanager
SUBJECT: Scheduling of Second Meeting in November
The second Regular Meeting in November falls on November 26 ,
the day before Thanksgiving. Each year you consider whether
to have a second meeting in November, since a meeting on the
night before Thanksgiving may conflict with some people ' s
holiday plans, and may be inconvenient for public attendance.
Since there is no known business which could not be deferred
until December 10, it is recommended that you cancel the
Regular Meeting. In the event it is necessary to have a
Special Meeting in November, I suggest that you discuss a
possible alternative date on 'November 12 .

MEMORANDUM
November 6 , 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: S. Sessions, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment of Peace Officer
Introduction : At your meeting of January 14 , 1976 , you accepted
the recommendation that District rangers be appointed as limited
status peace officers as outlined under Section 830. 3 (1) of the
Penal Code of the State of California (refer to Land Manager' s
report R-76-2 , dated January 7 , 1976) .
Joan Ferguson, the District' s new ranger, has completed the neces-
sary courses required under the Penal Code. This course completion
and the passage of the attached resolution will qualify her as
a peace officer.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Directors
adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Appointing a Peace
Officer, which will appoint Joan Ferguson as a peace officer
pursuant to Section 830.3 (1) of the Penal Code of the State
of California.
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT APPOINTING PEACE OFFICER
The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space

Space District pursuant to Section 830. 3 (1) of
the Penal Code of the State of California and
under Sections 5558 and 5561 of the Public

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
November 4, 1980
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Recap of Legislative Program for 1980
Introduction: On December 12 , 1979 you adopted a Legislative Program
for 1980 (see memoranda M-79-148 of November 23, 1979 and M-79-156
of December 5, 1979) . You received subsequent informational and
written status reports and adopted revised positions on bills or
positions on additional bills (see, for example, memorandum M-80-17
of February 21, 1980 and the minutes of your March 12 meeting) .
Your Legislative Committee, consisting of Directors Bishop and
Hanko, advised you on the stance you should take on this legislation.
Process: On July 25, 1979 you adopted Policies for Handling Legis-
lative Matters. These Policies set the framework for the Board,
Committee, and administrative process in dealing with legislation.
Legislation of potential interest comes to the attention of the
District in a variety of ways; for example, through referrals from
the District' s Legislative Consultant in Sacramento (Mr. Beckus of
California Advocates) , through the California Park and Recreation
Society newsletter and Legislative Action Bulletin, through the
League of California Cities Legislative Bulletin, through environ-
mental organization newsletters, and by word of mouth from various
persons.
Because we have been interested in following many bills - many more
than those on which you took formal positions - we were placed by
Mr. Beckus on the California Special Districts Association mailing
list for their Legislative Summary and Status Report, which is sent
out on a monthly basis. Attached is the September 1980 Report
(the wrap-up for 1980) . The summaries are as given in the original
versions of the bills; some of these have been changed as the content
of some bills was altered. Of the 145 bills listed in the September
Report, about 80 had some relevance to the District' s activities.
In the spring of 1980 , the District began receiving copies of most
of the bills on the list, as well as others requested, as these bills
went through various stages of the legislative process. I read
(or scanned) these bills and referred approximately 40 of them to
Legal Counsel for analysis and response or simply for his information.
R-80-62 Page two
District Positions : An attached table summarizes the final status
for bills on which you took positions. A number of the bills, some
of which were doomed to failure before you took positions, were
carry-overs from the 1979 session. The table below shows the
District' s scorecard for bills on which you took positions and
adopted action categories.
Fraction of Time Bills Went District' s Way
Action
Cate or Score
-
A 2/2
B 4/4
C 3/9
D 4/5
The MROSD-originated bills, SB 1550 and AB 3299, and AB 990, which
was amended at the District' s request, all became law. I am not
aware of any bills that passed that were seriously harmful to the
District' s interests.
Conclusion: I feel that the District was very successful in its
Legislative Program during the 1979-1980 session of the Legislature.
Moreover, the process was smooth, with lines of responsibility very
functional and without an inordinate expenditure of time or money.
Bob Beckus is planning to attend a Board meeting, probably December 10,
to give his wrap-up for 1980 and prognostications for what the
Legislature will be doing in 1981.
I will ask the Legislative Committee to meet in the near future in
order to recommend the initial Legislative Program for the 1980-1981
sessions. Staff has been compiling ideas for the new Program. The
Committee will also be considering a recommendation regarding ex-
tension of the Legislative Consultant' s contract into 1981.

Mr. Steven D. Sessions, Land Manager
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
375 Distel Circle Suite D-1
Los Altos, CA 94022
Subject: Trail System, Montebello Open Space Preserve
Dear Steve:
At its meeting of October 20, 1980, the Palo Alto City Council approved
your application for a site and design review of a trail system for the
hbntebello Open Space Preserve. That portion of your application dealing
with parking lot construction was withdrawn per your letter of October 6,
1980.
Our interaction on this matter has been long, if not entirely fruitful
from your standpoint. It was the intent of the City Council that this
I
association should not end immediately. I would appreciate being kept
informed of your San Mateo County application for the alternate parking
lot location so that Palo Alto may comment in an official way to the
County.
E
Sincerely,
ROBERT M. BROWN

Mr. Bill Leland
President

Peninsula Conservation Center

Palo Alto, California 94306
Dear Bill and Members of the Board:
I'm very pleased to inform you officially that the
Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula, Regional Open
Space District voted unanimously at our meeting of October
22, 1980 to apply the $6500 grant from the Committee for
Green Foothills towards the purchase price of the District' s
latest acquisition in the Skyline area. This new 11.6 acre
acquisition fronts on Langley Hill Road and is adjacent to
the District' s 32. 3 acre Mt. Melville area of the Russian
Ridge Open Space Preserve. You' ll be happy to know this
property is dedicated open space and will be a major segment
in the Skyline trail network.
In addition, the Board also requested that this gift
be memorialized in an appropriate manner. It is our intent
to dedicate a future trail on the property to the individuals,
including Morgan Stedman, in whose name donations were made
to the Skyline Memorial Fund, and the staff will be contacting
you for those names.
On behalf of the Board and all the individuals who will
enjoy this open space, I want to express again our very deep
appreciation for the Committee for Green Foothills grant support.
Hopefully, your action will encourage other concerned groups to
join and assist our District in the preservation of more open
space land.
Sincerely,
Barbara Green

k Mrs. Morgan Stedman

Palo Alto, California 94301
Dear Mrs. Stedman:
The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional
Open Space District decided at our meeting of October 22,
1980 to use the $6500 Skyline Memorial Fund grant from
the Committee for Green Foothills to help acquire a parcel
of land near the Mt. Melville area of our Russian Ridge
Open Space Preserve. This parcel was dedicated as public
open space and will be part of a major segment in the
Skyline trail network.
The Board also directed that the gift be memorialized
by dedicating a future trail on the property to Morgan
Stedman and the other individuals in whose name donations
were made to the Memorial Fund. Since your husband was such
an active and well-known environmentalist, the naming of a
trail, which will be used and enjoyed by citizens from the
entire mid-Peninsula area, would be a very fitting and appro-
priate way to honor him.
The District' s staff will keep you posted on the trail
plans, and we will contact you when the trail is to be
officially dedicated.
Sincerely,
Barbara Green
President,
Board of Directors

Dear Roy:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of this District,
congratulations on your appointment to the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission!
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District is
interested in promoting public transportation to park
and open space areas (not from forseeable MROSD budgets,
of course) . Perhaps you will have an opportunity to
address this question at some point.
Sincerely,
Herb Grench

Mr. Michael Reilly
Planner, Acquisition Section
State Department of Parks and Recreation
P.O. Box 2390
Sacramento, CA 95811
Dear Mr. Reilly:
It has come to our attention that the Public Works Board has
questioned funding the City of Palo Altos segment of the proposed
Bayfront Trail.
This agency has acted in a catalytic capacity to facilitate the
planning and eventual implementation of a Bayfront Trail. The
concept of a multi-purpose trails system connecting baylands
from the midpeninsula to the south bay and providing a variety
of experiences through public lands under multiple agency owner-
ships has been a very high priority with this District. We have
recently acquired a 54 acre parcel which will close one of the
few remaining gaps on this trails corridor.
Although the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has not
taken a position on the exact alignment of the proposed Bayfront
Trail through various jurisdictions, I feel that the proposed
Palo Alto trail segment is worthy of your consideration.
Sincerely,
I
Herbert Grench
