MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
August 20 , 1986
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager;
J. Boland, Operations Supervisor
SUBJECT: Progress Report on Contract Sheriff 's Patrol Program for the
Mt. Umunhum Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve
1
Introduction: At the July 9 , 1986 Board meeting, staff presented to you
a progress report concerning negotiations with the Santa Clara County
Sheriff 's Department for supplemental patrol services in the Mt. Umunhum
Area of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve. At that time the draft
patrol agreement, which had been prepared jointly by the District and the
County Sheriff 's Department, was awaiting approval from the County Coun-
sel 's office.
In light of the District 's commitment to help facilitate the restoration
of order to a chronically problemed area, staff was authorized to imple-
ment an interim, less formal agreement with the Sheriff 's Department for
a period of up to 90 days, or until the formal agreement is finalized and
executed. You asked that staff return within one month from the initiation
of the program to report to you on progress with the arrangement.
Discussion: On Friday, July 18 an informal implementation of the supple-
mental patrol program was initiated using the draft agreement as an interim
guideline. During the first month of operations , approximately 96 Sher-
iff 's officer hours were committed to the program resulting in the issuance
of six citations and numerous contacts involving suspicious vehicles or
individuals .
Observations made by the District 's Ranger staff and some Mt. Umunhum neigh-
bors have indicated an initial decrease in unauthorized activity during this
period.
The apparent success of the Sheriff 's patrol program, however, has not come
without significant cost. Contrary to an earlier agreement, the Sheriff
Department 's policies now require that not one but two deputies patrol to-
gether on "mountain beats" such as the District 's after sunset. The extra
cost of a second deputy during all evening shifts (the cost for the first
month was $625) could potentially increase overall patrol costs by 40-50%
for fiscal year 1986-1987 . Additionally, staff has been forced to commit
more time than initially anticipated to orienting the participating depu-
ties , many of whom have never before patrolled the Mt. Umunhum Area. It is
still anticipated, however, that after approximately three to four months of
experimentation, a core group of motivated, well informed deputies will be
working the area, requiring less District staff time to coordinate and
initiate the program.
R-86-69 Page 2
The status of the more formal patrol agreement as of August 18 is that it
is still being reviewed by County Counsel with no projected date of com-
pletion. Staff will continue to pursue the matter with the Sheriff ' s and
County Counsel 's offices .

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
August 19, 1986
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager;
D. Hansen, Land Manager
SUBJECT: Proposed Acquisition of Remaining Interests (Allen) in Lands
of North et al. for Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Mt.
Umunhum Area.
Rec9mmendation: I recommend that you adopt the accompanying Resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
Authorizing Acceptance of Purchase Agreement, 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 (Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve
Lands of North et al. - Allen) .
I further recommend that you confirm the previously adopted Interim Use
and Management Plan reiterated in this report, including naming the property
as an addition to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Mt. Umunhum Area,
and indicating your intention to withhold the property from dedication at
this time,
Discussion: On April 16, 1986 , you authorized acquisition of a one-half
interest in the subject 143 acre parcel as an addition to the Sierra Azul
Open Space Preserve (see report R-86-24 of April 10, 1986) . The property
was identified as the North et al. parcel in the Mt. Umunhum Area of the
Preserve. On June 11, 1986 , you authorized acquisition of the Rader one-
quarter interest in the same property (see report R-86-32 of June 2 , 1986) ,
bringing the District ownership percentage to a three-quarter interest.
The original Interim Use and Management Plan was confirmed for the new
interests. The District now has the opportunity to purchase the final
one-quarter interest in the same property, perfecting full fee title.
The property lies east of Highway 17 in an unincorporated area of Santa
Clara County, outside but adjacent to the District boundary and in the
District' s Sphere of Influence (see attached map) . Although a corner
of the property adjoins the Mt. Umunhum Area of the Sierra Azul Open
Space Preserve, currently there is difficult public access. Eventually
the property could become a link in a trail system between Mt. El Sombroso
and a Guadalupe recreational corridor along Hicks Road to Almaden Quick-
silver County Park.
R-86-68 Page two
A. Interim Use and Management Recommendations
The Interim Use and Management Plan recommendations approved at the
time of the initial acquisition and later confirmed were:
1. The site will be open to hikers and equestrians who can gain access
from adjacent District lands.
2. Preserve boundary plaques will be installed where appropriate.
Estimate costs of $30 will be included in 1986-1987 budget
preparation.
No additional recommendations are recommended at this time.
B. Dedication
This property should continue to be withheld from dedication at this
time to allow for the possibility of the transfer of density rights
or a future realignment of preserve boundaries.
C. Naming
This property should continue to be named as an addition to the Mt.
Umunhum Area of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
D. Terms
As mentioned earlier in this report, this transaction includes the
acquisition of the final one-quarter interest in a 143 acre property
in which the District already holds a three-quarter interest. The
purchase price of the one-quarter interest would be $30 ,025 , ($209 per
acre, which would be equivalent to $836 per acre for full interests)
to be paid in cash at close of escrow. The previous interests cost
the equivalent of $700 per acre for full interests . The total inter-
ests in the property will have cost the District $105 ,100 or $735
per acre. The funds for this purchase would come from the 1986 Prom-
issory Note Issue and be charged to the New Land Purchases budget
category.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
August 21, 1986
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager;
D. Woods , Open Space Planner ;
M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner
SUBJECT: Use and Management Plan Review for the Page Mill Road Area of
Monte Bello Open Space Preserve
Recommendation: I recommend that you tentatively adopt the Revised Use and
Management Plan as amended in this report for the Page Mill Road Area of
Monte Bello Open Space Preserve.
Introduction: The Use and Management Plan for the Page Mill Road Area of
Monte Bello Open Space Preserve was last reviewed by you at your July 25 ,
1984 meeting. Final adoption of the revised plan occurred at your August 8 ,
1984 meeting.
There have been no additions to the Preserve since the last review. A map
of the Preserve is attached.
The following reports are available for reference:
• Use and Management Plan Review for the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve -
Page Mill Road Area, report R-84-35 of July 17 , 1984;
° Final Adoption of the Use and Management Plan Review for the Monte Bello
Open Space Preserve - Page Mill Road Area, memorandum M-84-71 of August 3,
1984.
Site Use and Description: The Monte Bello Preserve continues to be one of
the most popular skyline area preserves. Use of the Preserve is varied; the
site is popular with hikers , equestrians , and mountain bicyclists. The ma
jority of the use is concentrated on the Stevens Creek Nature Trail. The
parking area on Page Mill Road is filled to its maximum nearly every spring
and fall weekend and has often been full this summer as a result of the mild
weather. Use during the winter is considered moderate. Equestrian groups
reserve the permit parking area approximately twice per year, while individ-
ual equestrians park their trailers in the Page Mill lot on the average of
one or two per weekend.
The docent program continues to be popular at Monte Bello. Supplementing
the regularly scheduled hikes on the Stevens Creek Nature Trail are special
hikes on the Waterwheel Creek Trail and request walks at both locations.
Last year an overwhelming response to a twilight hike on the Waterwheel
Creek Trail prompted staff to repeat the offering. This year 's twilight
walk is scheduled for September 20. At the present time, the Stevens Creek
Nature Trail hikes are offered on the third Saturday of each month. Staff
is considering changing the day to Sunday to attract more people. Sunday
hikes tend to be more popular.
R-86-71 Page Two
As with most other District Preserves , mountain bicycle use at Monte Bello
is on the increase. Generally speaking, Monte Bello is large enough and the
majority of the trails wide enough to accommodate bicycles along with the
variety of other Preserve users with few use conflicts. An exception and
area of immediate concern, though, is on the narrow portions of the Nature
Trail where, because of the intense hiking use, particularly family use,
there is an alarming increase in conflicts with bicycles. You will recall
the letter from a District docent six months ago on this potential problem.
As the bicycle use of this Preserve and others continues to increase, staff
is finding that the number of accidents (usually self-induced) involving
mountain bicycles is also on the upswing. The Ranger staff estimates they
respond to at least one accident per weekend involving a mountain bicycle on
District or adjacent public lands. Of these, approximately half require hos-
pitalization of the rider. Most recently, on August 9 the Ranger staff re-
sponded to a mountain bicycle accident on the Table Mountain trail at Upper
Stevens Creek County Park requiring hospitalization of the rider. This
accident, as with many others , involved inexperienced riders unfamiliar with
the terrain and moving too quickly. Following this accident, County Park
personnel posted several trails on the County Park as closed to bicycles .
The backpack camp at Black Mountain Ranch has been in operation for approxi-
mately two years. Use has remained fairly constant over that time with
approximately 200 visitors using the camp per year. The summer program at
Hidden Villa accounts for about 40% of that use, as they have begun using
the camp in lieu of the area they used in the recent past at Windmill Pas-
ture. Other groups which have used the camp include the Deer Hollow Farm
summer camp program and various Scout groups. The remainder of the use has
come from individuals.
The permit system for operating the camp appears to be working out well.
The Ranger staff has conducted an analysis of the backpack camp 's operation
over the past two years and the report is attached for your reference as
Attachment A. Specific recommendations for changes to the operation of the
camp are incorporated into this report.
During the spring months of 1986 , Pacific Bell installed a new phone cable
from Page Mill Road to the communication towers on Black Mountain. The
cable is buried under Monte Bello Road where their existing cable was lo-
cated.
A. Access and Circulation
Access to the Preserve is primarily from the parking area located on
Page Mill Road. Additional access is available from roadside pullouts
on Page Mill Road at the Canyon Trailhead and on Skyline Boulevard
across from the tree farm. Parking is available on a permit basis for
equestrian groups on Page Mill Road near the Alpine Road intersection
and for docent groups at the end of Monte Bello Road on the northeasterly
side of the Preserve.
While the issue of bicycle use will be addressed in staff 's ongoing
study of trail use policies , the increase in use of mountain bicycles
on Monte Bello and the Stevens Creek Nature Trail requires addressing
at this time. The Stevens Creek Nature Trail was designed for its inter-
pretive features , encouraging slow travel on foot by individuals and
groups alike. The narrow portion of the trail from the parking area to
Canyon Trail and the level of use which this section receives from both
individuals and groups using the interpretive stations along the trail
indicates it should be closed to bicycles. Restricting bicycle use from
R-86-71 Page Three
this section of the Stevens Creek Nature Trail will not inhibit bicycle
use of the majority of trail experiences currently open to the bicyclists
and other users , including loop trails and the longer distance trails.
New or Revised Use and Management Recommendations
1. The driveway off Page Mill Road to the permit parking area (at the
site of the former McNeil barn) is very steep with loose gravel
making entrance to the parking area difficult by vehicles pulling
horse trailers. Surfacing of the driveway is recommended to provide
a safe accessway for vehicles and horsetrailers. Staff has investi-
gated a potential alternative to asphalt surfacing, a feasible alter-
native is a soil bonding agent which was used successfully on the
temporary road through the Picchetti Ranch built by the County of
Santa Clara. Cost is estimated at $2500 with funding to be included
in fiscal year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
2. A trail should be constructed near Page Mill Road which will connect
Canyon Trail with Monte Bello Road. At the present time hikers using
the Indian Creek Trail to get up to Monte Bello Road are creating a
loop trail by walking down Page Mill Road to the parking area. In
light of the narrow, winding nature of the road, this is a less than
ideal situation. At the present time a disced fire line follows the
alignment of a trail down to Canyon Trail; this disc line could be
formalized into a trail at a cost of approximately $1500. Funding
will be included in fiscal year 1987-1988 budget preparation work.
3 . Access to the backpack camp from Indian Creek Trail currently leads
visitors through the center of the Black Mountain Ranch lease area,
creating confusion for the hikers and an infringement on the privacy
of the leasehold tenants. A minor re-routing of the trail would
alleviate the problem. The project is a good volunteer project and
will be targeted as a Trail Days project for Spring 1987.
4. Once the planning of the Waterwheel Creek Trail is complete (antici-
pated for later this year) , the construction of this trail can be
scheduled. The trail will connect Monte Bello Road with Canyon Trail
in the eastern section of the Preserve. Cost of the trail construc-
tion is estimated at $5000, with funding to be included in fiscal
year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
B. Signing
New or Revised Use and Management Recommendations
1. The proposed trail connecting the Waterwheel Creek area with the
Canyon Trail will be signed. Cost is estimated at $300, and funding
will be included in fiscal year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
2. The Stevens Creek Nature Trail will be posted "No Bicycles" with the
exception of the section of Canyon Trail which completes the Nature
Trail loop, Even though staff has yet to complete a study to deter-
mine trail use policies, the nature of the Stevens Creek Nature Trail
makes it incompatible with bicycle use, Mountain bicycles will still
be allowed on the remainder of the site, allowing long rides and loop
trip possibilities until formal trail policies are adopted. The pro-
ject involves signing at the parking area directing bicyclists to
Canyon Trail via the disc line trail or Page Mill Road. Additionally,
revisions will be necessary on the various trail signs around the
loop trail. Cost is estimated at $200 with fundinq available in the
fiscal year 1986-1987 budqet.
R-86-71 Page Four
C. Structures and Improvements
The restroom facilities installed at the parking area were the first of
their kind installed on District lands. The units have held up very well
with a moderate amount of maintenance and only minor vandalism. The
holding tank, however, has partially collapsed and must be replaced. A
new holding tank, specially designed for this type of use, is currently
in stock and awaiting installation this fall. Since installation of the
tank will require removal of the existing units, staff is exploring the
possibility of replacing the units with an updated version that signifi-
cantly reduces the level of maintenance required. Aesthetic improvements
have also been made to the exterior of the building, eliminating the need
for fencing. This new type of unit is to be installed at Purisima Creek
Redwoods Open Space Preserve in conjunction with the Proposition 18 grant
project. If replacement is feasible, the existing units would be used
for special events and trail building projects where staff is now con-
tracting to have portable restroom units delivered and maintained.
New or Revised Use and Management Recommendations
1. A portion of wire fencing between the parking area and Canyon Trail
should be replaced with the District' s standard split rail fencing.
Cost is estimated at $1, 000, and funding will be included in fiscal
year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
2. The restroom units located at the Monte Bello parking lot will be
replaced, if feasible, by a single unit in conjunction with instal-
lation of a new holding tank. The restroom unit will be designed to
accommodate wheelchair use. The existing restroom units will become
portable units and will be transported to Preserves without restrooms
for special events or trail building projects. Cost of a new rest-
room is estimated at $8000, with funding to be included in fiscal year
1987-1988 budget preparation.
3. A group campsite will be installed at the backpack camp to accommodate
better the organized groups using the camp. The group site will be
installed at the site of the former Morrell cabin demolition (see
incomplete projects, summary chart) . Costs associated with a group
camp are approximately $200, and funding will be included in fiscal
year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
4. Staff will work with the lessees of the Black Mountain Ranch to facil-
itate the cleanup of the grounds around the outbuildings and replace
old fencelines surrounding the corrals and animal pens.
D. Natural Resources and Agricultural Management
The coyote brush encroachment of the grassland of Monte Bello Ridge is
occurring at a rapid rate. Juvenile court crews manually removed brush
from the hills near the parking area in the spring. The issue of brush
removal will be addressed in the Resource Management Plan and Policies
currently being prepared that will govern resource management of District
sites. Once complete, staff will return to you with these Policies and
recommendations dealing with the brush issue.
Use and Management Plan Summary Charts for the Monte Bello Open Space Pre-
serve are attached for your review.

I. Visitor Use
A. Numbers - Since its opening, there have been 404 visitor nights
spent in the campground (includes all reservations on file through
August of 1986) . There has not been an increase in use of the
camp. Approximately 200 visitor nights were recorded in each of
the last two years . Hidden Villa has accounted for about 150 of
the 404 visitor nights, which represents about 40% of the use.
With the current recommended carrying capacity of only 12 people
per night, the weekends alone represent 1200 available visitor
nights .
Groups from Hidden Villa on almost every occasion were larger than
12. Several groups of 24 to 27 have used the campground with the
majority being supervised children. Hidden Villa 's use has been
primarily weekdays , leaving the weekends very underutilized.
B. Use Conflicts - There have been no significant use conflicts. Dis-
trict Rangers were called on a few occasions by the caretakers
when parties arrived without permits . Some campers have expressed
concern about sharing the area with other parties such as poten-
tially boisterous youth groups. No one 's concerns have ever devel-
oped into a true conflict.
C. Permit System - The permit system is probably more restrictive than
it needs to be. Despite use by groups larger than 12 , there has
been little resulting facility or resource damage. Granting excep-
tions of groups numbering 25 or more questions the validity of the
original maximum of 12 . 1 recommend a firm maximum group of 20
with a total of 24 per night be implemented.
Currently, reservations for camping require 72 hour notice. Con-
sidering the underutilization of the campground, we should elim-
inate any restriction that turns people away. Campers could be
asked to check with the office or Ranger staff for campsite avail-
ability when there is insufficient time to complete the permit
process . We could install a self-payment system at the camp to
2
collect fees from last minute permit holders .
Campers often leave vehicles on Page Mill Road. Currently, the
permit does not list associated vehicles and their location. This
information would be particularly helpful to the Ranger staff when
attempting to locate lost campers and after hours violators . Cam-
pers should be allowed to park vehicles in the Monte Bello parking
lot. Vehicles left overnight would be locked inside out of sight
of Page Mill traffic. A combination lock could be used to secure
the lot which would permit campers to leave after hours. The
combination could be placed on the permit. A multiple copy permit
or tear-off car tag would need to be part of the form.
The Facility
A. Campsites - The campsites are not showing any significant impact.
With the high percentage of group use the camp is receiving, it
should have at least one site designed for group use. Perhaps we
could expand the log seating at one or two of the sites.
B. Drinking Water System - The Water Sure chlorinator has been nothing
but problems . When it 's working, it overchlorinates the water.
There have been several failures of the float shut-off system re-
sulting in waste of valuable spring water. Technical assistance
from the Water Sure manufacturer has not helped to get the unit
functioning as designed. We now manually fill the small tank to
avoid loss from the 10 ,000 gallon storage tank. Ranger Craig
Beckman is currently working on salvaging the chlorinator. The
best solution to this problem is to totally replace the chlorin-
ator with a more reliable unit. Chlorinated water is only avail-
able at the one faucet in the camp. Visitors continue to use
water from other faucets in the building area. We should consider
removing the handles from all other faucets in the area. Treated
and untreated water should be tested regularly.
C. Fire Water System - The system fortunately has not yet been used
on an actual fire. Although the volume of water is adequate, the
pressure is far below what one typically finds for fire protection.
We might consider installing a pump to boost the water pressure,
as well as a second hose box and hydrant.
D. Toilet - The chemical recirculating toilet installed in the camp-
ground is working out reasonably well. In the summer months it
develops a rather strong odor. The smell seems to be associated
with either the limited use it receives, or the infrequency of
service. Without a holding tank in the campground, we try to pro-
long the pumping-out service to coincide with the needs of the
parking lot toilets. Infrequent use without regular recirculating
action may also contribute to the odor. A holding tank would solve
the problem and save us money in the long run.
E. Firebreak - For the past two years the discing contractor has been
cutting a line around the grassland side of the camp. We should
develop a fire protection plan for the area that also includes pro-
tection of the wooded section of the camp as well as recommended
escape routes for campers.
The Caretakers
A. Up to Now - The Lindhs have been excellent hosts. They have gra-
ciously accepted their new neighbors at the camp. They continue
3
to provide excellent security for the area, calling in all prob-
lems to the office. I am happy to report their small herd of
dairy cows is down to two or three head, reducing the overgrazing
problem in the area. Their lease area continues to be a little
more cluttered than I 'd like to see so near the camp. Perhaps the
District could subsidize a dumpster or assist with the actual
clean up of the area.
B. Future Needs - The District should continue to take advantage of
�Ehe on-site caretakers. The presence of the camp impacts their
lease area as well as their lives. The Lindhs should be compen-
sated for their inconvenience as the campsite visitation increases.
The primary access between the camp and the private residence should
be gated. A short section of trail could be built off Indian Creek
Trail to bring people into the camp from Black Mountain while by-
passing the residence. If at some point the District should choose
to remove the residence from Black Mountain, responsible steward-
ship would require a much greater commitment of staff time.
IV. Patrol
A. Current - The late Skyline Ranger tries to visit the camp every
night there is a party scheduled. Rangers on routine patrol do not
drive their vehicles through the camp in the evening. Unless re-
sponding to a reported incident, the staff patrols the camp on foot.
With the development of Purisima Creek and Skyline Ridge Preserves ,
less staff time will be available to make contact with campers. if
the campsite use increases over the next few years , we may need to
adjust shift times to provide for more evening patrol hours.
V. Other Recommendations
A. Black Mountain Ranger Station - The structure is deteriorating
rapidly. Unless we can come up with a suitable use for the struc-
ture, it should be demolished. We could start now by transplanting
a couple of rows of coyote brush behind it to create a screen be-
tween the residence and camp. When we do remove the house, we
should build a regular six foot backyard fence between the private
residence and camp.
B. Vehicles in Camp - The most recent group to use the camp brought
in a support vehicle. This is a departure from what I assumed was
the policy regarding vehicles. Granting permission for groups to
bring vehicles to Black Mountain will definitely change the char-
acter of the camp, as well as introduce a host of potentially new
problems.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
August 20, 1986
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager;
D. Hansen, Land Manager;
D. Woods , Open Space Planner
SUBJECT: Proposed Noravian Property Addition to Sierra Azul Open Space
Preserve
Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the accompanying Resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
Authorizing Acceptance of Purchase Agreement, 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 (Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve - Lands of
Noravian et al. ) .
I further recommend that you tentatively adopt the Interim Use and Manage-
ment Plan recommendations contained in this report, name the property an
addition to the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, and indicate your intention
to withhold the property from dedication at this time.
Introduction: A 30 acre parcel of land, located east of Highway 17 , has
been offered for sale to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (see
attached map) . If acquired, the parcel would become an addition to the
Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.
The property is an important part of the scenic backdrop immediately above
Lexington Reservoir. It is contiguous to a 10 acre parcel of District
property (formerly lands of Carter) and, because of the remoteness of these
parcels from the existing areas of the Preserve, they should be considered
the potential beginning of a new area which may link up with the rest of
the Preserve in the future.
A. Description of the Site
1. Size, Location and Boundaries
The 30 acre property is approximately 2/3 mile east of Lexington
Reservoir on the north side of a ridge located between Soda Springs
Canyon and Hendrys Creek. The parcel is bounded by District land
to the south and private property to the north, east, and west.
Soda Springs Road passes through the northwest corner of the site.,
R-86-70 Page two
2. Topography, Geology and Natrual Features
The site is generally comprised of steep northeasterly facing
slopes and has an average elevation of 1500 feet. There is a
prominent ravine bisecting the parcel in the northwesterly cor-
ner. This drainage is part of the Soda Springs Creek watershed.
The soils are classified Los Gatos-Maymen, which are considered
highly erodable. Prior to the 1985 Lexington Area fire, the
vegetative community was primarily chaparral, with a narrow
strand of bay trees located in the swale, and a few eucalyptus
and knobcone pines scattered on the hillsides. Following the
fire, the seeding program established a dense cover of ryegrass,,
and the chamise, toyon and eucalyptus are quickly recovering.
B. Current Use and Development
The property is currently undeveloped. The improvements include
1) an unsurfaced roadway which bisects the property from the north
to south, 2) various collapsed metal structures , one of which appears
to be a housetrailer, and a buried 55 gallon drum. The roadway does
connect to Soda Springs Road via a claimed prescriptive easement
which is passable by vehicle to a point approximately 500 feet south
of the northerly boundary. There is no gate.
C. Planning Considerations
The property is located within unincorporated Santa Clara County and
is zoned Hillside (HS) . Acquisition of the parcel for open space
purposes conforms with the General Plan of Santa Clara County and
Town of Los Gatos.
The County' s Trails and Pathways Plan, as revised May 1982 , indicates
a proposed trail corridor in the vicinity of this property, extending
from Lexington Reservoir to Mt. Thayer.
The parcel has a medium rating on the District's Master Plan map, a
composite system of ranking lands ' suitability as open space.
D. Potential Use and Management
The site should be maintained as a natural area to protect the visual
backdrop of the Lexington Recreation Area and the integrity of the
watershed. The site could provide a link in the regional trail system
planned for the area.
E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations
1. Boundary plaques should be placed where appropriate. Estimated
costs of $15 are included in fiscal year 1986-1987 budget.
2. A gate should be installed at the northerly boundary to prevent
illegal entry of vehicles . Estimated cost is $600, and funds are
available in fiscal year 1986-1987 budget.
3. The remains of the metal structures and storage drum and other
materials will be removed. A contractor will be sought for this
project at an estimated cost of $2000-$2500; funds to be provided
in fiscal year 1987-1988 budget preparation.
R-86-70 Page three
F. Dedication
I recommend that this property be withheld from dedication at this
time to allow for the possibility of the transfer of density rights
or trade or sale of the entire parcel if the District is not success-
ful in completing the trail corridor in this area. Withholding this
property from dedication is consistent with the status of the adjoin-
ing District-owned land.
G. Naming
I recommend that this property become an addition to the Sierra Azul
Open Space Preserve and that a specific area name be considered at a
later date if the unit is enlarged.
H. Terms
The purchase price for this property stipulated in the attached Pur-
chase Agreement would be $100 ,000 payable in cash at close of escrow.
This price is based upon the "site" value with an average of $3,333
per acre. The funds for this purchase would come from the District's
1986 Promissory Note Issue proceeds and be charged against the New
Land Purchases budget category.

MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT
REPORT
August 21, 1986
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: J. Fiddes , Administrative Services Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization Request to Enter Into Long-Term Telephone
Equipment Lease
Recommendation: I recommend that you authorize the General Manager
to enter into a five-year lease in the amount of $17 ,354 . 40 with
Citicorp Industrial Credit, Inc. for a Merlin Communications System,
Model 1030.
Discussion: For the past three months , the District has been
renting a Merlin Communications System, Model 1030 from AT&T to
ascertain whether the Merlin system effectively and efficiently
meets the District's communications needs. The Merlin system has
proved to be a very adequate and good telephone system, and many
of its special features have increased some staff members ' produc-
tivity.
At the time Merlin was initially leased, the cost of the system was
projected to be approximately $10,000. However, due to additional
equipment needs, it would cost the District $14,248.07 , including
tax, to purchase the existing equipment currently installed in the
office.
Staff has , however, been pursuing the possibility of a long-term
governmental lease of the current Merlin system with Citicorp
Industrial Credit, Inc. in lieu of purchasing the equipment out-
right. The District can lease the current equipment from Citicorp
over a five-year period for a total lease cost of $17 ,354. 40 or
fixed monthly payments of $289 .24. The Controller
ler has reviewed the
lease options offered by Citicorp and has found them to be satis-
factory. The lease would provide a cash flow advantage at a fair
interest rate, and the lease financing would not go against the
District's debt covenants. At the end of the lease period, the
District would have the option to purchase the equipment for $1.

ER YER RANCH/MIDPENINSULA CONTROVERSY UPDATE
DATE. AUGUST 11, 1986
BACKGROUND: IN JUNE 1986 MIDPENINSULA ANNOUNCED THEY HAD AN OPTION TO
BUY THE DYER RANCH FOR $2. 5 MILLION, ESCROW IS TO CLOSE ON SEPTEMBER 13
PENDING SETTLEMENT OF OUTSTANDING LAWSUITS, THE RANCH IS ACCESSIBLE BY
SEVERAL ROUTES BUT THE DESIGNATED PRIMARY ACCESS IS FROM SKYLINE BLVD
VIA BEAR GULCH ROAD (A COUNTY MAINTAINED ROAD), A ROAD MIDPENINNSULA
DESCRIBES AS "AN EXTREMELY NARROW ROAD WITH STEEP DROPOFFS ON BOTH SIDES
TO ALLEN ROAD ( A PRIVATE ROAD) .
THE DYERS IN MAY 1986 ASKED THE COUNTY TO MAKE ALLEN ROAD A PUBLIC
ROAD--AN ACTION THAT WOULD COINCIDENTLY HAVE ELIMINATED PUBLIC ACCESS
PROBLEMS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST WITH THE PROPERTY. ON AUGUST 5TH, AFTER
HEARING DISCUSSION FROM NUMEROUS PARTIES- AND THEIR ATTORNEYS - THE
SUPERVISORS DECIDED NOT TO ACCEPT ALLEN ROAD INTO THE COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM.
TOM NOLAN SUGGESTED THAT ALLEN ROAD RESIDENTS MAY WANT TO COISIDER USING
A COUNTY MEDIATOR TO RESOLVE ROAD MAINTENANCE ISSUES. THE SUPERVISORS
ALSO ASKED PLANNING TO HAVE A COUNTY PLANNER ATTEND THE AUGUST 7TH MEETING
BETWEEN ALLEN ROAD/BEAR GULCH WEST RESIDENTS AND THE MIDPENINSULA STAFF,
I
I AN OUTLINE OF THE HANDOUT I PROVIDED TO THE SUPERVISORS IS ATTACHED,
NUMEROUS EXCELLENT POINTS WERE MADE BY MANY OTHERS, I WILL PUBLISH THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES OF THE MEETING AS SOON AS 1 RECEIVE THEM. ]
AUGUST 7 MEETING WITH MIDPENINSULA: ON AUGUST 7TH C. BRITTON AND D. HANSEN
MET WITH CONCERNED RESIDENTS AT THE HART'S HOME, AS ONE RESIDENT PUT
IT " YOU ARE BRAVE MEN TO A LARGE EXTENT THE MEETING TONE WAS THAT
OF AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE ( A TONE THAT WAS REINFORCED WHEN CRAIG THREATENET
TO LEAVE IF THE MEETING BECAME LESS THAN PLEASANT) , A SUMMARY OF KEY
ISSUES DISCUSSED FOLLOWS:
1) ROAD USE FOR PARK ACCESS - MIDPENINSULA WILL USE A PERMIT SYSTEM UP
TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THEIR DENSITY CREDITS ( 35 X 6 CARS/DAY = 210
CARS) , NO INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED, THOUGH THEY WERE PRESSED TO DO
SO, ON HOW MANY PERMITS WILL BE ISSUED OR WHAT THE PERMIT PROCESS IS,
2) PUBLICITY - MINIMAL PUBLICITY OF THE NEW PARK IS PLANNED DURING THE
FIRST YEAR. IT WILL BE FOURTH OR FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM IN TERMS OF
PARKS PUBLICITY INITIALLY, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES ON ANYTHING AFTER
THE FIRST YEAR,
3) NO CAMPING PERMITTED INITIALLY,
4) NO BUSES ALLOWED INITIALLY, NOTE: SCHOOL BUSES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON
BEAR GULCH ROAD DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, THEY WOULD NOT SAY IF
BUSES WOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE PARK LATER.
5) TRASH PICKUP ALONG ALLEN ROAD IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, DESPITE AN
EXPECTATION THAT THERE WILL BE INCREASED TRASH ALONG THE ROAD LEFT
BY PEOPLE ENROU TE TO THE PARK, MIDPENINSULA WILL PROVIDE NO TRASH
CONTAINERS, DAVID POINTED OUT THAT RANGERS SOMETIMES HELP PICK UP
TRASH.
6) INSURANCE LIABILITY - THE RISK OF BEING SUED BY SOMEONE PASSING
'I
THROUGH NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY ENROUTE TO THE NEW PARK WILL INCREASE,
i
THE RISK OF THE COUNTY BEING SUED WILL ALSO INCREASE AS A LARGE
NUMBER OF CARS ARE BROUGHT DOWN BEAR GULCH ROAD, IF ANYONE GETS
SUED WE WILL PROBABLY ALL GET SUED - THE COUNTY, MIDPENINSULA, AND
THE NEIGHBORS. NEIGHBORS MAY WANT TO INCREASE THEIR INSURANCE
COVERAGE,
7) BEAR GULCH ROAD - MIDPENINSULA WILL ENCOURAGE THE COUNTY TO IMPROVE
BEAR GULCH ROAD, AT THEIR EXPENSE, BUT IF AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
IS FORMED TO IMPROVE THE ROAD, THEY POINTED OUT MIDPENINSULA IS
A GOVERNMENT BODY, THEY WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN PAYING AN ASSESSMENT.
( ALTHOUGH THEIR BOARD MAY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE AT SOME LEVEL) .
8) ALLEN ROAD MAINTENANCE - MIDPENINSULA WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE MAINTENANC
ON ALLEN ROAD ( PROBABLY THE SAME SHARE AS THE DYERS) , THEY WILL
NOT IMPROVE THE ROAD OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE ROAD
(DESPITE ADDITIONAL BURDEN PLACED ON THE ROAD) , THE ROAD CAN
BE MAINTAINED OR DETERIORATE TO GRAVEL-THAT IS THE NEIGHBOR'S
CHOICE. THEY POINTED OUT THAT MIDPENINSULA HAS FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
VEHICLES AND WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS NO MATTER THE ROAD CONDITION,
9) MOTORCYCLES - NEIGHBORS POINTED OUT THAT INCREASED MOTORCYCLE
VOLUME CAN BE EXPECTED, MIDPENINSULA SAID THEY DISCOURAGE MOTOR-
CYCLISTS AND FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ON THEIR LAND,
10) FIRES - HAVE BEEN SUCESSFUL IN NOT HAVING FIRES ON THEIR LAND,
SOMETIMES THERE IS AN INCREASED FIRE RISK ON NEIGHBOR'S LAND. THEIR
I
RANGERS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST ON THE SCENE FOR ANY FIRE,
CRAIG BRITTON POINTED OUT THAT MIDPENINSULA EXPECTS TO CONCLUDE THE
ACQUISITION OF THE DYER PROPERTY DESPITE ACCESS PROBLEMS OR LAWSUITS. HE
ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MIDPENINSULA WILL PROBABLY BE ACQUIRING THE ALLEN/
PAULIN PROPERTY AND THAT ALTERNATE ACCESS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE DYER
PROPERTY FROM SKYLINE VIA THE ALLEN PROPERTY, HE DOES NOT PLAN TO USE
THAT ACCESS - ALLEN ROAD WILL BE THE ACCESS ROUTE. OVERALL, I BELIEVE
NEIGHBOR CONCERN WITH THE MIDPENINSULA ACQUISITION OF DYER RANCH WAS
r r
GREATLY INCREASED AS A RESULT OF THE AUGUST 7TH MEETING.
I HAVE CONTACTED HARRY TURNER - OUR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE MIDPENINSULA
BOARD. HE IS PLANNING TO PUT THE DYER RANCH ACQUISITION AND PRELIMINARY
MANAGEMENT PLAN ON THE WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27TH AGENDA. THE MEETING BEGINS
AT 7:30 PM -- I WILL LET YOU KNOW THE EXACT TIME ON THE AGENDA AS SOON
AS I HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME AT 415-851-8235 OR DURING
THE DAY AT 408-725-5056.

ANDY MILLIGAN.
THE SUITS WERE SETTLED BY GRANTING THE DYERS A 20 FOOT EASEMENT
WITH THE STIPULATION THAT ALLEN ROAD WAS A PRIVATE ROAD. PAT SCARI
RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR DAMAGES.
0 MAY 1986-- THE DYERS ASKED THE COUNTY TO YA- KE ALLEN ROAD A PUBLIC
ROAD.
0 IN JUNE 1986MIDPENINSULA REVEALED THEY HAD AN OPT10N TU PURCHASE
THE DYER RA14CH FOR $2.2 MILLION ($1. 7 MILLION CASH)WIT11 ESCROW -
TO CLOSE IN 90. n. AYS. THE KEY ISSUES REkAINING: ie.OAD ACCESS AND
LAWSUITS. 4 PUSSI6LE At-CESSES WERE LISTED. (SEE MAP) .
KEY POINTS OF MIDPENINSULA ACQUISITION OF DYER RANCH
0 jUNE 13T8, MIDPENINSULA APPROVED THE "PROPOStD DYER PRvPER:.Y
ADDITION TO THE LA HONDA CREEK OPEN SPACE PRESERVE"
0 THE DYERS WILL RECEIVE $1. 7 MILLION NOW AND A TOTAL OF $2 . 2 MILLION
FOR THE 362. 5 ACRE SITE.
0 SOME KEY QUOTES IN YHE REPORT CONCERNING ACCESS FOLLOW:
"THIS MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY REPRESENTS A MAJOR ACQUISITION
FOR THE DISTRICT. IT WILL GREATLY INCREASE THE USEABILITY
AND IMPORTANCE OF LA HONDA CREEK OPEN SPACE PRESERVE, BY MORE
THAN DOUBLING ITS SIZE FROM 329 TO 691. 5 ACRES PROVIDING
POTENTIAL PAVED VEHICULAR ACCESS FROM ALLEN ROAD, AND OFFERING ONE
OF THE MOST SCENIC DESTINATION POINTS IN THE DISTRICT. "
"ALLEN ROAD, THE MAIN ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY, IS NOT CURRENTLY
A PUBLIC ROAD, ALTHOUGH THE SAN MATEO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
HAS DIRECTED THE SAN MATEO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
TO WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS TO SECURE PUBLIC STATUS. THE ROAD IS
PAVED ALL THE WAY FROM BEAR GULCH ROAD TO THE HOMESITE AREA. THE
BEAR GULCH ROAD IS AN EXTREMELY NARROW ROAD WITH STEEP DROPOFFS
ON BOTH SIDES: THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS IS ALSO
WORKING WITH RESIDENTS ALONG BEAR GULCH ROAD TO IMPROVE BEAR GULCH
ROAD WITH PULLOUTS AND OTHER SAFETY PREVISICWS. "
"ANOTHER ROAD KNOWN AS THE' SKID ROAD' , BRANCHES NORTH FROM
ALLEN ROAD WITHIN THE GIFT PARCEL AND ALSO CONTINUES OUTrTO
SKYLINE BOULEVARD" (IT WILL COST AN ESTIMATED $20,000 TO MAKE
THE SKID RDAD ACCESSIBLE FOR PATROL VEHICLES AND HIKERS PLUS
EQUESTRIANS. THE ROAD GOES ACROSS ALLEN PROPERTY WHICH WE HAVE
HAVE BEEN TOLD MIDPENINSULA IS NEGOTIATING TO ACQUIRE. )

c
PUBLIC ROAD CONCERNS
0 RESIDENTS OPPOSITION--50$ OF THE RESIDENTS OPPOSE
I
0 COST
- ESTIMATED COST OF $300, 000 (PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT ESTIMATE)
TO CONDEMN THIS ROAD WITH 9 RESIDENCES.
- RESIDENTS OF EL GRANADA/MOSS BEACH AND KING'S MOUNTAIN AREA
GRAVEL COUNTY ROADS WOULD BE BETTER SERVED WITH THIS EXPENDITURE
OF FUNDS.
- MAINTENANCE COSTS COULD BE HIGHER THAN PREVIOUSLY ESTIMATED
DUE TO GREATER USE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED IF THIS BECAME A
PARK ACCESS ROUTE.
- THE PROPOSED WIDENING OF BEAR GULCH ROAD (AT AN ADDITIONAL
COST OF $300,000 to $900,000) WOULD PROBABLY BE NEEDED TO
HANDLE THE EXTRA TRAFFIC SAFELY.
O SAFETY
THE COUNTY HAS INDICATED IN THE PAST THAT BEAR GULCH HAS A
VERY LIMITED CAPACITY FOR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC.
ENCOURAGING USE OF BEAR GULCH/ALLEN ROAD FOR PRIME PARK ACCESS
WOULD EXCEED THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY OF BOTH ROADS AND BE A HAZARD TO
BOTH RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.
WUNDERLICH PARK/BEAR GULCH EAST IS A COMPARABLE SITUATION.
O< 'COUNTY LIABILITY
0 GENERAL PLAN--THE GENERAL PLAN SAYS THE COUNTY WON' T 'SAKE ON
ANY ADDITIONAL PRIVATE ROADS.
0 ALTERNATIVE PARK ACCESS IS AVAILABLE FROM SKYLINE BLVD.
i
I URGE THE BOARD TO TXKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS :
1) ABANDON THE CONCEPT OF BRINGING ALLEN ROAD INTO THE COUNTY
MAINTAINED SYSTEM.
2) ENCOURAGE
MIDPENINSULA TO PURSUE THE "SKID ROAD" ACCESS ROAD.

"The Planning and Conservation League has been instrultnental in the passage of every nwJor piece of environmental legislation in
California."—resolution of the California Legislature.
The Planning and Conservation League was founded in 1965 bya group of citizens concerned about the loss of environmental quality in California.PCL has
played a major role in the passage of such important legislation as the California Environmental Quality Act,the State Wild and Scenic Rivers Act,the
Coastal Protection Act,and many other laws devoted to protecting and enhancing the environment of California.PCL is dedicated to a governmental
process that will result in carefully planned decisions about the use,protection and development of California's resource base.PCL believes that resources
should be managed to produce a sustained economy,and to enhance the urban and natural environment that makes California such a wonderful place to
live and work.
The following organizations are members of the Planning and Conservation League.Like the organizational members of the Board of Directors listed on the
other side of this letterhead,they have joined to support our goals and ideals,but do not necessarily concur in every PCL legislative action.They support
PCL to preserve the environment of California,and to let the Legislature and the Administrative branch of government know that they are interested in what
State government does to enhance the quality of life in California.

source bond acts. Local bond measures will also be com-
peting with statewide measures. We should look at ways
to establish a long-term fund for acquisition of all
types of open space,
1. Establish a trust fund.
2. Use oil revenues, or gas and cigarette taxes.
3. Establish a ten year allocation fund that is
comprhensive and addresses all land conservation needs.
4. Amend the Gann spending limitation so that interest
from the surplus could go towards land preservation.
5. Use a bond act to establish an amount per
person per year to be spent on land preservation.
6. Allocate bond interest from the annual
budget.
C. Initiative
1. Use the initiative process to put a measure simi-
lar to SB 1717 on the ballot in 1988. Funding for
this effort could come from landowners who are
interested in selling and want to know that there is
a funding source. There was some concern that we
would not be able to guarantee a dollar return to
those who would fund an initiative campaign.
2. Use the initiative process to establish a Resource � I
Act similar to the 1972 Coastal Act, for permanent
allocation of funds for land conservation purposes.
We will continue to research the possibility of a statewide
initiative to preserve open space. We will determine whether or
not we could fund such a measure with the assistance of land-
owners around the state. We will also examine the potential of
establishing a permanent funding source for land preservation,
either through an initiative or through the legislative process.
Finally, we have not ruled out thepossibility Y of future legisla-
tion similar to SB 1717, and will continue to work in this area. `
Please do not hesitate to call me or Jerry Meral if you
would like to discuss any of these ideas. We would appreciate your
comments and suggestions as we are forming our strategies for
future action. Many thanks for all your he
lp in promoting land
conservation in California.
