Final Adoption of the Use and Management Plan Review of Monte Bello Open Space Preserve -_Page Mill Road Area D. Woods began the discussion of memorandum M-84-71 of August 3, 1984 by indicating that the two items for clarification were the Skyline Boulevard trail crossing between Monte Bello and Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserves and the problems occurring at the end of Stevens Canyon Road. He used a wall diagram of the trail crossing t e to show that b removing he baccharis and Y ovin g t Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Henshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin 84-18 Page' Two - buckeye trees on the west side of Skyline Boulevard the line of sight at the crossing could be increased by 100 feet. He said staff will be submitting this recommendation to CalTrans for assurance that it meets their approval. Harry Haeussler, 1094 Highland Circle, Los Altos , concurred that the removal of brush would increase the line of sight for the crossing. D. Woods stated that the problems at the end of Stevens Canyon Road may be resolved now that the Santa Clara County Department of Transportation has informed staff that the proposed gate and equestrian/hiking stile were approved and will be installed within six months. He said that after installation of the gate and stile, staff will monitor activities, noting that perhaps planned discussions and/or the workshop with neighbors and appropriate agencies will not be necessary. Motion: N. Hanko moved the adoption of the use and management plan for Monte Bello Open Space Preserve - Page Mill Road Area as contained in report R-84-35 and as amended by memorandum M-84-71 with the inclusion of the removal of brush on the west side of Skyline Boulevard. T. Henshaw seconded the motion. Discussion: D. Woods reviewed a letter, received before the meeting, from Lewis C. Reed, 225 Lindenbrook, Woodside, as a follow-up of the Los Viajeros Riding Club's group ride in August on the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve. Mr. Reed stated that loose gravel at the entrance to the staging area on the former McNiel property made truck access difficult. D. Woods said staff will study the problem and ascertain what form of compaction could be used to provide a more satisfactory surface in the area. D. Woods reported that staff will be proceeding with a District-wide fire action plan which will incorporate both fire suppression and vegetation management. K. Duffy asked if perhaps a, workshop to foster education on these issues might be advisable. Lewis Reed, speaking in behalf of the Los Viajeros Riding Club, asked. that staff reconsider the request for a refreshment vehicle to meet the group mid-way on the ride next year and said that it might be advisable for staff to refer wording of signs on stiles to District Legal Counsel for review. R. Bishop suggested that a written plan concerning the trail crossing, including the diagram of the site as provided at the meeting, should be carefully formulated by staff and be approved by the Board or the General Manager. 84-18 Page Three B. Review of Board Policy Regarding Candidates ' Statements H. Grench reviewed memorandum M-84-70 of August 1, 1984 per- taining to the revision of Board policy regarding provision of Spanish translation of candidates ' statements so that the District's policy would conform with current Santa Clara County and San Mateo County policies relating to Spanish translations of election material. H. Grench stated that staff was sug- gesting that the resolution being presented for adoption be incorporated into the District ' s Rules of Procedure. H. Grench recommended that this item be continued to later in the agenda when S. Norton would be present so Mr. Norton could report on his findings regarding the new legal requirements. D. Wendin stated the Board 's consensus that the item would be continued until later in the meeting. VII. NEW BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED A. Use and Management Plan Review for the Picchetti Ranch Area of Monte Bello Open Space Preserve D. Woods introduced the use and management plan for the Picchetti Ranch Area of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve as contained in report R-84-37 of August 1, 1984. He said that staff would undoubtedly be reviewing the site on an annual basis for the next few years due to increased use of the site with implemen- tation of the restoration lease. D. Woods reviewed the existing and the new use and management recommendations in detail, using slides to illustrate significant points made in the report. D. Woods stated that an Item 4 on page 4 of the report, under New Use and Management Recommendations , Access and Circulation, should be added to read as follows : The patrol road accessing the southerly portion of the site will be improved for year round use. Cost is estimated at $250 with funding included in fiscal year 1984-85 budget preparation. Ron Stortz, 13100 Monte Bello Road, Cupertino, stated he and his wife Rolayne, the lessees of the three acre Picchetti winery and vineyard area, are currently on schedule regarding building restoration. He stated that they do not believe that the three acre vineyard discussed in Item E. 2. on page six of the report is very viable, and they would like to find a way of retaining, on a no fee basis , the vineyard area. He said they hoped that the Board and staff would be willing to delay implementation. of a lease proposal for the entire area, including the 40 acre orchard, since they continue to be very interested in the leasing of the acreage. C. Britton provided background information which led the Board and staff to the discussion of implementing the historical restoration of the winery area first before negotiating a lease for development of the orchard area. H. Grench stated that there is nothing in the current lease with the Stortzs indicating they are required to lease addi- tional acreage, and said that if there is some nominal value 84-18 Page Four in the three acres , the Stortzs should pay the District or perhaps provide other services in exchange. He said a staff concern was whether the vineyard had been well tended recently. Board discussion centered on whether restoration of the winery and vineyard should be viewed solely from a historical perspec- tive or whether an incremental monetary value of the vineyard should also be considered. Motion: D. Wendin moved that the Board tentatively adopt the use and management plan for the Picchetti Ranch area as contained in this report with the modification at the top of page 7 so that the last sentence in that paragraph reads : If terms are not reached in the next few weeks, staff will return to the Board for further instructions. T. Henshaw seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. VIII. OLD BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED (continued) B. Revision of Board Policy Regarding Provision of Spanish Transla- tion of Candidates ' Statements S. Norton reported he had received a copy of the report from March Fong Euls Office of the Secretary of State to various election officials throughout the counties of California. He said the report noted that neither Santa Clara County nor San Mateo County are now required to provide Spanish translations of election materials. He noted State law still requires that in certain cases oral assistance at polling places will be provided and that Spanish facsimiles of ballots will be posted in a conspicuous location in each polling place. He summarized his report by stating the District is no longer required to provide Spanish translations of candidates ' state- ments and recommended that the Board adopt the resolution before them deleting this requirement. Motion: E. Shelley moved that the Board adopt Resolution 84-34 a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Mid- peninsula Regional Open Space District Amending the Rules of Procedure Regarding Candidates ' Statements. K. Duffy seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. IX. NEW BUSINESS WITH ACTION REQUESTED (continued) B. Program Evaluation for 1983-1984 Fiscal Year H. Grench introduced memorandum M-84-69 , dated August 1, 1984. C. Britton reviewed the Open Space Acquisition Program noting that the 1983-1984 acquisitions were the largest ever in the District's history. He discussed minor changes in the Negotia- tions Subprogram and Enterprise Activities Subprogram in the 1984-1985 Action Plan. D. Woods discussed the Planning, Design and Development Sub- program of the Open Space Management Program noting changes in the 1984-1985 Action Plan include the addition of one new key 84-18 Page Five project and activity relating to refining policies for use of District lands and facilities by neighborhood and other non- profit groups, and one new other typical project and activity relating to the development of trail use guidelines for the public and policies for the Board. He added the reference in the required staff resources section in the 1984-1985 Action Plan concerning the possible additional staffing position was being deleted since Open Space Management planning positions would only be studied during the year. Discussion centered on types of groups the policy would address . J. Boland reviewed the Operations , Maintenance and Volunteer Subprogram of the Open Space Management Program noting the refinement of wording in three of the key projects and activities in the 1984-1985 Action Plan, the new wording in the thirteenth other typical projects and activities and the change of refer- ences in the required staff resources section. In response to K. Duffy's question on volunteer projects and commitments, J. Boland stated that after the Trails Information and Volunteer Center becomes established, it could assist staff in the development of core groups of volunteers for trail main- tenance on the most widely used preserves. C. MacDonald discussed the Public Communications and Governmental Liaison Program and indicated that one change in the key projects and activities concerning the printing and distribution of the Openspace Newsletter and/or other District publications was being recommended in the Public Participation and Education Subprogram. She said another typical project and activity was being added in the same Subprogram concerning investigating the feasibility of initiating a fund development program. In response to K. Duffy's concern about the number of environ- mental gifts catalogues currently in existence, C. MacDonald noted staff was basically addressing how to handle gifts cur- rently being received. H. Grench discussed General Management and Program Support saying the most significant 1983-1984 key project and activity was the work of the Office Space Committee and the Board in the formulation of policy pertaining to a new office space site location. He also noted that the Program's third 1984-1985 Key Project and Activity relating to personnel needs had been expanded for clarification and a seventh project relating to implementation of a microcomputer system had been added pursuant to Board direction at the time the budget was adopted. Members of the Board requested that the revised and updated 1984-1985 Action Plan be mailed to their homes as well as being included in their Board binders. Motion: R. Bishop moved that the Board accept the program evalua- tion for the 1983-1984 fiscal year and adopt the proposed changes in the 1984-1985 Action Plan. E. Shelley seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. 84-18 Page Six X. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS J. Fiddes reported that the period for filing nomination papers for the November 6 election was Friday, August 10 at 5 :00 P.M. D. Woods distributed copies of the Existing Conditions Report on Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve Master Plan for Board review. He reported that if there was no objection, the Rancho San Antonio Op en Space Preserve Use and Management Review would be deferred until September, and the Stable Feasibility Study would be pre- sented for review at the August 22 meeting. No objection was expressed. He also reported on the August 6 trails conflict workshop. C. Britton reported that a use permit had been granted by the Planning Commission of Santa Cruz County to Jikoji to operate a conference and retreat center in existing buildings. He said staff will return to the Board with conditions involving the District. C. Britton also announced that Sandy Voorhees has been hired for the Real Estate Research Analyst position and will be introduced at the next meeting. H. Grench stated that Glenn Lyles , the City of Mountain View's Parks Director, is ready to recommend favorably to the Mountain View City Council that the Crittenden Marsh area owned by the District be managed at a nominal fee by the City on a year-to-year basis. He added that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had recently shown an interest in possibly managing the area and noted D n P Y Hansen will g � be me eting with representatives es from the Service. N. Hanko reported that Bill Green, son of former Board Director Barbara Green, broke the U.S, record for hammer throw and came in at sixth place at the Olympics. R. Bishop questioned if the Dog Committee members and staff were ready to set a date for a public meeting to report on the status of the dog program and to seek public input and suggestions. R. Bishop requested that staff give consideration as to when the meeting could be held and report back at the next Board meeting. XI. CLAIMS Motion: D. Wendin moved the approval of the revised claims 84-14 of August 8, 1984. R. Bishop seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 to 0. XII .

Some of the discussion was about the trails and much was said of horsemen use of the trails , how they might connect with adjacent area trails , etc . Nothing was men- tioned about horses not being allowed on these trails . Nor is there any limitation of horses to these trails on your brochure of the area in the legend on the map. When I visited the area on Friday , August 10, I found that horses were restricted from the trails , not only b.y signs but by the construction of horse barriers on the trail entrances . Further, the map shows a trail entering from MonteBello Road from the second hairpin turn above Stevens Canyon Road . On inspection it was noted that there is barbed wire all alongthe road at this point and no access to the trail was observed. Why are horses eliminated from this area ? Why the discre- pancy from the map and the location for horses ? Why is there no entrance from the trail head on TYlonte Bello Raod ? _ r Harry H.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manaaer; Del Woods, Open Space Planner; Mary Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Final Adoption of the Revised Use and Management Plan for the Picchetti Ranch Area of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Introduction: The use and management plan review for the Picchetti Ranch Area of the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve was presented to you j at your August 8, 1984 meeting (see report R-84-37, dated August 1, 1984) . Final adoption of the plan was deferred until your August 22, 1984 meeting to allow for further public comment. Discussion: At your August 8 meeting, one recommendation was added and another recommendation was amended. The first was overlooked in writing the report and should read as follows : A. Access and Circulation New Use and Management Recommendations 4 . The patrol road accessing the southern portion of the site will be improved for year-round use. Cost is estimated at $250 with funding included in the fiscal year 1984-85 budget preparation. The second recommendation concerns the agricultural lease of 43 acres of land for a vineyard lease. After discussion the consensus was to amend the recommendation as follows: E. Natural Resource and Agricultural Management Existing Use and Management Plan 2 . The existing agreement with Ridge Vineyards for the three acre Vineyard should be continued until such time as a vineyard lease is negotiated with the winery tenant. This area should be leased on a year-to-year basis at market rent to the winery tenant until such time as an overall vineyard lease is negotiated. The total area to be considered for vineyard lease should not exceed 43 acres . Status: The agreement with Ridge Vineyards was terminated in 1982 when the lessee of the Picchetti Winery expressed an interest in assuming the 3-acre lease along with the orchard area. The vinery tenant then leased the 3 acre area for one year, terminating in December, Z983. M-84-72 Page two The vineyard has been minimally maintained while delays have occurred in lease negotiations . If terms on leasing the 3 acre area are not reached in the next few weeks with the lessee, agriee+ter&+-+ease-threegh-the-peb+ie-preee 9 9 staff will return to the Board for further direction. Staff has received no further public comment since the August 8 meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the use and management plan for the Picchetti Ranch Area as contained in report R-84-37 and amended herein. x M-84-73 (Meeting 84-18 August 22, 1984) i MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM August 16, 1984 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager PREPARED BY: J. Fiddes, District Clerk SUBJECT: Amendment of Board Policy Regarding Spanish Language Candidate Statements Discussion: At your meeting of August 8, you amended your policy regarding the provision of Spnaish language translations of candidates ' statements, since, at that time neither Santa Clara County nor San Mateo County intended to provide such translations in their election materials (see memorandum M-84-70 of August 1 , 1984). On August 13, staff received the attached letter from George A. Mann, Registrar of Voters and Recorder for Santa Clara County, stating, in part, that "A recommendation will be made to the Board of Supervisors on September 4, 1984 that Spanish language materials continue to be made available for elections held in Santa Clara County." Staff at Santa Clara County's Registrar of Voters Office feel that the Board of Supervisors will approve this recommendation that is being supported by the County Executive. As of the writing of this report, Robert Kaspar, Assistant County Clerk and Recorder for San Mateo County is not aware of any proposed change in San Mateo County's decision not to provide Spanish language election materials. The main reason given in ,your discussion about amending your policy regarding the provision of Spanish-language translations of candidates ' statements was that you wanted your policy to conform with current practices of Santa Clara County and San Mateo County. In light of the probable forthcoming change in Santa Clara County, you may want to amend your policy once again and make it flexible enough to conform with the election practices in each county. The proposed changes to Section 2.12 of your Rules of Procedure concerning Candidates' Statements would be as follows: 2.12 Candidates ' Statements. In those wards where two or more candidates have qualified to appear on the ballot, candidates' statements of qualifications, (and, if provided by the respective county for county candidates, Spanish transZations of candidates ' statements for those requesting them) up to a maximum of 200 words, shall , if requested, be provided by the District at its expense pursuant to the Elections Code of the State of California, and that no such candidate shall be billed for availing himself or herself of these services. In the case where there is a single candidate qualified to appear on the ballot, and the candidate requests that his or her candidate's statement be included in official election material distributed to voters, the District shall bill such candidate for the cost thereof, incZuding costs reZated to Spanish transZations. Recommendation: I recommend you consider the attached Resolution amending your Rules of�rocedure to allow your policy concerning the provision of Spanish- language candidates' statements to conform with election practices of Santa Clara County and San Mateo County.

Fiddes 375 Distel Circle, Suite D-1 Los Altos, CA 94022 Subject : Bilingual Election Material Dear Jean: As you are no doubt aware , governmental agencies in Santa Clara County are no longer required by federal law to provide bilingual election materials . A recommendation will be made to the Board of Supervisors on September 4 , 1984 that Spanish language materials continue to be made available for elections held in Santa Clara County . This recommendation is based on the special need which exists in this County due to the large number of Spanish speaking citizens who reside here and the public benefit that accrues from having a well informed electorate. Assuming that the recommendation is accepted by the Board , we will continue to print ballots bilingually. Informative materials on local issues , such as candidates ' statements , arguments , analyses, etc., will be printed separately in Spanish for distribution to persons who request them. Local jurisdictions which are involved in an election will be billed for their share of the cost of this service . If your governing body objects to this arrangement , it will be necessary that we be informed as soon as possible in order to take appropriate steps in preparing for the November 6th General Election . In either case , it will be necessary that the text of any measure you have on the ballot be translated into Spanish in compliance with Section 14203 of the California Elections Code , which requires that ballot instructions and measures be available in Spanish at each polling place. If we do not hear to the contrary by August 31 , 1984 , it will be assumed that the governing body concurs in the recommended action . Very- truly yours , Ma nn ann Registrar of Voters and Recorder An Equal Opportunity Employer RESOLUTION NO. Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Amending Rules of Procedure The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District does resolve to amend Section 2.12 of the Rules of Procedure to read as follows: In those wards where two or more candidates have qualified to appear on the ballot, candidates ' statements of qualifi- cations, (and, if provided by the respective county for for county candidates, Spanish translations of candidates ' statements for those requesting them) up to a maximum of 200 words, shall , if requested, be provided by the District at its expense pursuant to the Elections Code of the State of California, and that no such candidate shall be billed for availing himself or herself of these services. In the case where there is a single candidate qualified to appear on the ballot, and the candidate requests that his or her candidate's statement be included in official election material distributed to voters, the District shall bill such candidate for the cost thereof, including costs related to Spanish translations.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; A. Watt, Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: Stable Impact Study for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve Introduction: On March 14, 1984 the former Cho Property was acquired by the District to become a part of the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Pre- serve (see report R-84-15 of March 6, 1984) . As a part of the acquisition the High Meadow Stable was acquired as a leased area within the property. A short term District lease was completed with the lessee in accordance with the adopted Use and Management Plan. On June 11, 1984 a public hearing was held to garner public input on the stable operation and to ascertain its appropriateness in the long term use and management planning for the Preserve. At the same time, a consultant was hired by the District to complete a long-term suitability study of the stable. This study has been completed and a summary is attached. Several copies of the complete study are available in the District office for public perusal . Discussion: The study is being made available now for public review and comment to allow time and to encourage appropriate well-informed input at the time of the regular use and management plan review for the Preserve now scheduled for your September 26, 1984 agenda. Staff, with the help of the consultant, is additionally investigating County and State zoning, permit and health and safety regulations, as well as costs of some potential mitigations. Staff recommendations will be made in a report for that Board meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that you encourage public review of the attached stable impact study and direct staff to utilize previous or sub- sequent public comments and questions on the study, as well as the study itself, in forming the recommendations for the long term desirability and viability of the stable on the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. (Attachments) STABLE IMPACT STUDY SUMMARY As part of the process of updating the use and management plan for Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve, the District hired a consultant to examine the environmental impacts of the recently acquired High Meadow Stable on the Preserve. The following chart summarizes concerns and mitigation measures described in a report by Dr. Samuel McGinnis entitled "Environ- mental Impact Report of the Potential Impacts of a Horse Boarding-Breeding Stable on the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve." Copies of the full report are available at the District office. District staff plans to present specific use and management plan recommendations at the September 26 Board meeting.

An equestrian facility, the High Meadow Stable, is Iocated on the northeastern portion of the property. The stable operates under a lease agreement with the district and is involved in both the breeding and boarding of horses. As part of the process of updating the use and management plan for this preserve, the District wished to examine the various environmental impacts which may result from the presence of such an equestrian facility in an open space preserve. To that end, a call for proposals to conduct the study was sent out in May, 1994, to consultants with expertise in both ecology and equestrian science, and the one submitted by my wife and myself 6 was accepted . Y The environmental impact analysis which we have been asked _ P to do for the High Meadow Stables was conducted under conditions which deviate quite noticeably from the norm and therefore merit some initial examination. In most cases, an environmental impact report is called for when a previously undeveloped parcel is being proposed for development. In such cases, the consultant is given background material by the agency which hires him and is also presented with the developer's initial plans for the site. However, he does not consult directly with the developer or any special interest groups but instead conducts his analysis in as much of a vacuum as possible to insure that the 3 report is completely unbiased and free of outside influence. In this case, however, a stable has operated at the site for approximately 13 years, the past 7 of which have been under the management of the present lessee, Ms. Beverly Fike. At a stable feasibility public workshop on June 11 , 1984, I listened to nearly three hours of testimony both for and against the present stable operation, most of which appeared to be based upon actual experience with the facility. In the course of my investigation I also interviewed Ms. Fike on two occasions during which many of the problems which she , faces in the stable operation were explained. Indeed, the only group from which I received neither pro nor con input for the stable operation was the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District itself. Given the above, I believe it would be helpful to state at the onset our major qualifications for conducting this study which allow for a straightforward and unbiased approach. 1 . We live in San Joaquin County and thus are not exposed to any sort of community pressures which could possibly influence the conclusions in this report. i 2. As a scientist I rely whenever possible on abstract measurements and proven field techniques to obtain data rather than my own or others' opinions concerning a particular matter. 3. As a horse breeder, my wife, who operates our small horse breeding farm, is able to analyze logistical and husbandry problens of other such operations from a realistic and business point of view. 4. Finally, I believe that my 20 years of experience as a university professor allows me to assign *grades" to projects, 4 whether they be term reports or stable operations, based solely on the data presented and free of any influence from personalities associated with the project. SITE DESCRIPTION High Meadow Boarding Stable is located on an elongated parcel of land, approximately 5 acres in area, in a canyon in the northeastern portion of the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Prerserve (Fig. l ) . An intermittent creek, Permanente Creek, forms the eastern boundary of the property. This creek has been dammed at the west end of the site to form Permanente Creek Reservoir. The north canyon wall or south facing slope supports a lush stand of coastal scrub with occasional small stands of coast live oak tFi e g 2) . The south wall or north facing slope is covered with dense oak °woodland with a lush understory (Fig. 3) . Both plant communities grade into a marginal riparian woodland community along the course of Permanente Creek. Beyond the south wall of the canyon to the south lie hundreds of acres of wild Preserve land. Beyond the north wall of the canyon to the north lies a hillside suburban community consisting of attractive homes on large lots interspersed with small stands of coastal scrub and oak woodland. Access to the stable site is via the the terminal portion of Ravensbury Road which runs along the north canyon wall approximately two thirds the way up the wall from the creek bed. The entire canyon wall portion of the road is not paved and there is no parking permitted along its route. The stable area proper consists of two small barns and five 5 major stall areas (Fig. 4) . One 18 stall unit is completely covered with metal roofing and most of the others have partial roof cover. Eleven stalls are also located in the largest barn at the eastern edge of the property. One large and two small mobile homes house the human residents of the stables. One septic tank services two of the trailers, and a "porta - potty" provides a toilet facility for the stable users. There is no electrical line into the stable site. However, one did exist in the past, and two 100 amp service boxes are located on the property (Fig. 5) . Electricity is provided to the trailers and stable area by a gasoline generator which is located in a shed near the largest trailer. There is no telephone line into the property. There is also no water line or well on the site. To obtain water, the stable lessee puts a 300 gallon portable water tank (Fig. 6) on a pick-up truck and hauls water from the nearest water hydrant --on the paved portion of Ravensbury Road. This water is then stored in two tanks on the gravel portion of Ravensbury Road directly above the stable area on the north canyon wall (Fig. 7) . The total capacity of these two tanks is 3000 gallons, and three to four water runs are made each day in order to keep up with the stable water use. The western portion of the stable property consists of a horse training and riding ring plus a car park area (Fig. 8) . Just west of this area the leased property terminates at the Permanente Reservoir Dam site. A hiking and equestrian trail parallels Permanente Creek on its south bank and passes through the entire leased stable property. It then continues on west 6 along the south creek bank and eventually joins another trail which loops back eastward along the upper south canyon wall . SUBJECTS OF CONCERN, IMPACTS, AND SUGGESTED MITIGATIONS Wildlife Community The effect of the presence of a stable facility on the local wildlife community was studied by surveying vertebrate populations in partially open areas both up and down stream from the stable and then comparing these complements to that observed adjacent to the stable. In addition to visual surveys of all vertebrate groups, bird species wewre also identified by song or call note. Mammal scat and tracks were also identified and the relative abundance of each noted. Results of Survey. The bird numbers and distribution in the natural area east and west of the stable appeared nearly identical to that occupying the plant communities adjacent to the stable. Indeed, I consistently counted more California quail within sight of the stable than away from it. This was probably due to the presence of Permanente Creek Reservoir. The creek itself dried up in May this year, and except for the horse water buckets at the stables, the reservoir provides the only water for wildlife in the greater study area. Because of their relatively poor flight ability, California quail are more highly dependent on local water sources than most bird species, and thus their higher numbers in the reservoir - stable area.

Waste grain from hay or horse feeding buckets may be utilized by grain-feeding birds such as quail and rodents such as deer mice which enter the stable area. I Negative Impacts on Wildlife: The most apparent negative impact is the fact that if the stable were not here, there would be approximately five more acres of riparian woodland habitat within the open space preserve. The odors and noises of the I stable operation may also effect the movements and home ranges of some of the larger mammalian predators. Because the stable is surrounded by the wildlife communities of the preserve, the presence of dogs and cats at the stable may have adverse effects on select wildlife species. House cats compete directly with grey fox, ringtail , and bobcat for the small rodent food resource. The odor and sounds of dogs may cause mammalian wildlife to avoid adjacent wild areas. Dogs pose the added problem in preserve areas of running deer and occasionally killing fawns. There is no evidence that this condition exists with the resident dogs at the High Meadow Stable, but the potential exists whenever dogs are present in wildlife areas. Suggested Mitigations: 1 . Restrict the number of cat and dog pets at the stable to one of each. 2. Confine the dog to a fenced or long leash tether around the areas it is intended to protect. Never give the dog free run of the stable and adjacent wild areas. Likewise, dogs of any 9 horse boarders should not be permitted on the preserve and especially on the trails with their owners. Acoustics Noise in the greater stable area was monitored from 0800 to 1900 on Tuesday, July 31, 1984. A weekday was chosen for monitoring rather than Saturday or Sunday since it was felt that a random weekday more typically represented an average day in the stable operation. On this particular day, all normal stable operations such as w.-Ctering and feeding horses, cleaning stalls, small repair work, private horse riding instruction, the occasional running of the electric generator, and the filling of the water storage tanks were undertaken. Sounds were measured with a General Radio Type 1565-B Sound Level Meter. This is a state-of-the-art instrument which has been approved by the U. S. Department of Labor for making measurements for the Occupational Noise Exposure Regulatory Commission. Sound is measured in decibels (dB) , and the sensitivity of the instrument when set on its "B" scale approximates that of the human ear. A chart showing decibel ratings for a series of familiar noises is presented in figure 9. Sounds were recorded from a listening post directly above the stable from a turn-out site on Ravensbury Road. This site was approximately 150 feet below the closest residence in the upper hill area to the north of the stable, and it is reasonable to assume that the sounds recorded here would be nearly identical to those heard at this residence. Because the listening post was 10 actually closer to the road and the stables than the residence, I the sound levels should be slightly higher than those experienced at the home site. Results of Sound Survey: The categories of sound recorded in this survey are presented for the 11 hour recording period in figure 10. The highest decibel ratings were consistently recorded from cars and pick up trucks on Ravensbury Road. It should again be noted that the listening post was loc4ted within 20 feet of the edge of this road and thus the car sounds are more pronounced than those heard above the recording site at the residence. All vehicle sounds fall within the "moderately loud" category of sounds on the comparative sound level table and ranged from 55 to 75 dB. Another constant source of sound throughout the day was that from private airplanes and commercial jets. These ranged from the middle quiet range (40 dB) up to the middle of the moderately loud range (60 - 65 dB) . This area is apparently under one of the more commonly used flight paths for landing at the San Francisco International Airport. The third category of sound was that composed of a variety of "background sounds" from the stable operation. These all fell within the "quiet" rating and consisted of things such as horse vocalizations and hoof noise, hammering, occasional loud voices, etc. None of the sound levels recorded from the site fell into the catagories of "very loud" or "uncommonly loud" . By far the most prevalent were the airplane sounds which often droned on for 11 several minutes and seemed to be magnified by the steep canyon walls. Positive Impacts: none. Negative Impacts: Car traffic sound resulting from travel to and from the stable and the stable background noise may be distracting to hikers on the preserve and those residents who live directly above the stable. Suggested Mitigations: Restrict the traffic on the terminal porti on on of Ravensbury Road to vehicles owned by the stable lessee, the stable patrons, and open space district personnel . This could be done with a keycard type self-o e YP p Wing gate for which only the above groups are issued cards. Dust Production The production of dust due to stable related activities was measured in the following manner. Microscope slides were coated with fine mineral oil and placed at open points along a transect between the center of the stable area and upper portion of the hill to the north of the stable. The slides were in place for approximately 10 daylight hours after which time they were collected and placed in a dust proof holding tray. Dust particles were then counted over a 1 centimeter square area of the slide, using a compound microscope and a 1 cm grid under the slide. Comparative dust counts were lowest from those slides positioned in the coastal scrub between the stable and the road. 12 The slides from the stable area produced counts 20 to 25% higher than the slides in the scrub plant community. By far the highest counts were obtained from the slide placed adjacent to Ravensbury Road above the stable area and another slide postioned about 50 feet uphill from this point. This finding of comparatively higher dust areas adjacent to the road is supported by the heavy dust cover which covers the leaves of plants just above and below the road. Positive Impacts: None. Negative Impacts: Dust from car movement on the unpaved portion of Ravensbury Road can be annoying if not harmful to hikers and joggers using the road. On windy days some dust may also be carried to the homes above the road and deposited there. Suggested Mitigations: Dusty dirt roads are a part of rural California life during the dry summer months. Paving Ravensbury Road in this area would of course be the permanent but very costly solution to this problem. The road could also be oiled periodically during the dry months, but this would pose a runoff hazard to the adjacent downhill plant community when the rains begin. Perhaps the best immediate solution is to restrict traffic on the road to patrons of the stable and district personnel and in addition, place and enforce, if possible, a 10 mph speed limit. Fly Production in Stable Area 13 Comparative house fly numbers were measured using strips of paper coated with tangiefoot and positioned on a transect from the center of the stable to a point on Ravensbury Road immediately north of the stable. Comparative counts for a 10 hour daylight period were highest at the stable area. The second highest count was achieved at the listening is ening post site on Ravensbury Raod. However, this count was probably influenced by the presence of sandwich material during the noon hour at the post. Tanglefoot strips between the two end points showed very low fly numbers with one strip in the coastal scrub recording no flies at all . Although there are no comparative fly capture numbers using this method to compare these findings to, the counts on the double sided 72 square inch tanglefoot strip at the stable was 7 41ies/ 10 hours capture time and 5 flues/10 hrs. at the listening ' post which appear rather low. This may be due in part to the fly control being practiced at the stables: careful handling of manure, and many "bait stations" presenting a fly- attracting and killing bait. (Fig. 11 ) . Positive Impacts: Moderate increase P in fly numbers due to the stable operation provides an added food source for birds such as swallows and flycatchers (western, black phoebe, etc. ) , and insectivorous reptiles such as the western fence lizard. Negative Impacts: Increased fly numbers are annoying to hikers, joggers, and equestrians using the trails near the stable. In addition, house flies may transmit undesirable bacteria to the homes of residents in the hills north of the 14 stable. Suggested Mitigations: The stable lessee could obtain the "Fly Control Handbook" by Satrom and Stephens, 1979 ($4.50) from: Beneficial B£oSystems, 1603 63d St. , Emeryville, Ca. 94608. This publication covers both manure management and larval and adult fly control in great detail and presents several trap devices which may be more efficient than the fly bait method. i Visual Imuact of a Stable on Preserve Lands People who use open space preserves and regional parks for hiking, b£rding, etc. , are often disappointed or even annoyed to encounter scenes other than the natural terrain on their outings. With this fact in mind, the Wildcat Loop Trail on the north wall of Rogue Valley was traversed and the percent area along the trail where a distinct view of the stables below could be obtained was 'estimat'ed. The estimate of approximately 25 -30% must be highly qualified. First, it is highly dependent upon whether or not one is actually looking for the stables. If a hiker stays to the uphill portion of the trail his view of the valley floor is blocked by the vegetation along the downhill trail edge in most areas. However, if one stays to the downhill edge, looking at the the valley floor whenever the vegetation and topography permits, then the above percent view may be expected. One additional factor should be mentioned here. The stable Is situated in Rogue Valley which is on the northern edge of the newly acquired land for the San Antonio Open Space Preserve. The major viewing area for that valley is the Wildcat Loop Trail which rises much higher than the crest of the hills on the north 15 side of the valley where an expanding suburban community exists. Thus when a hiker is in a position to view the unnatural stable operation below, he is also able to see the equally unnatural suburban community which occupies the once natural hills beyond. This close approximation of the stable to the suburban boundary would appear to lessen the possible visual shock for most viewers. Positive Impacts: None. Negative Impacts: Viewing a stable operation in an otherwise natural surrounding may disturb hikes who are seeking a pure wilderness outing. Suggested Mitigations.: The one major feature which immediately caught the eye when hiking above the stable is the bright reflection from the many metal shed roofs in the facility. If these were cleaned, treated with the appropriate metal primer, and then painted a middle shade of green or tan, the roofs would still retain much of their heat reflecting ability while the visual glare would be greatly reduced or eliminated. Vehicle Traffic Associated with Stable Use The number of vehicles moving to and from the High Meadow Stable were counted over an 11 hour weekday observation period. A similar count was made from an observation point on the Wildcat Loop Trail for a two hour period on a Saturday morning. During the 11 hour weekday count the average number of 16 I u PM hour showing onlyone vehicle passage. Between 4 and 6 P 9 PM the number of vehicle movements rose to an average of 6 per hour and then declined to the earlier 3 per hour between 6 and 7 PM. During the hours of 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM on the shorter Saturday count, a total of 16 vehicle movements were recorded moving to and from the stable parking lot. In both counts it was noted that only two vehicles carried people who were not going to the stable. One car brought two people who parked and then began to hike up Permanente Creek. The second vehicle was an all-terrain three wheeled motorcycle which also continued on aP the trail parallels arallels Permanents Creek but eventually returned and left the area via Ravensbury Road. No vehicles were parked and left unattended along Ravensbury Road in the greater stable area during the two observation periods. Positive Impacts: None. Negative Impacts: The vehicles which move to and from the High Meadow Stable along the terminal unpaved segment of Ravensbury road are the source of one of the major noise factors in the area and also account for most of the dust production. Suggested Mitigations: The extent of dust and noise production could be limited by: (A) limiting the speed to 10 MPH; (H) limiting vehicular traffic to the stable to patrons, occupants and open space district personnel . The latter mitigation could be accomplished with a well constructed gate positioned at a point on the road where it would be impossible for either cars or motorcycles to go around it. A high stair- 17 i li type stile like _nose used in cattle fences could be positioned at one edge of the gate to permit passage of hikers and joggers. Poss3bl Trail Hazards resulting ±rPM a Stable Operation The results of two surveys of both equestrian and non- equestrian trail users were analyzed. The first survey studied was conducted during a 2 hour midday period by the Midpeninsula Trails Council at the Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve on May 26, 1984. In this survey 38 people were asked to fill out a 26 question survey sheet. Of the 38, only 10% were equestrians and of those only 7. 7% used the Preserve for riding. Two questions on the sheet related to horseback riding and trail saftey. One asked "Have you ever had an unpleasant experience in this preserve with other trail users?" Only 2. 2% of both equestrian and non-equestrians said they have had such an experience. However,'' when asked "Do you favor separate trails in this preserve for equestrians, joggers/runners/ and walkers/hikers?" , 42% favored separate trails, 32% disfavored separate trailes, and 26% didn' t care either way. A second survey was conducted by this consultant using hikers and jogger/runners in the greater stable area plus equstrians on trails in and around Edgewood Park, San Mateo I County. The latter was selected over High Meadow Stable patrons In order to broaden the scope of the surveyand eliminate any n Y possible bias in favor of the stable operation. In this verbal survey, the following combined question was asked: "Have you ever had any problems or bad experiences with other trail users, and if so, with whom?" 18 Of the 9 hikers surveyed, 4 had been "side swiped" by runners, but none had experienced any problem with horses. Of the 13 runner/joggers surveyed, 5 complained of slow walkers blocking the trail and causing them to break stride. Only two complained of horse use of the trails, and of these one complaint was directed far more toward a horse byproduct than toward the animal itself . The 7 equestrians surveyed in the Edgewood Park area all owned their own horses and appeared to be experienced trail riders. All 7 gave highly qualified answers to my question. A summary of the major points in their answer follows. (A) . When a trail is wide and straight (as are sections of the Rogue Valley trail east of the stable) , there is usually no problem with combined trail use, even when the horse is being ridden at a slow canter or gallop. B. When the trail is narrow and visibility is reduced due to curves and brush-tree cover, the respondants felt there would be a fair possibility that a horse may be startled by a hiker or runner or, worse yet, a collision may occur. In all cases, they felt that the rider was more likely to get hurt than the person on the ground and that the probability of such mishaps occurring was directly related to the training of the horse and the experience of the rider. Of the two categories of non-equestrian trail users, all but one of the seven interviewed felt that runners were the greater hazard since they seemed to be less aware of what was happening down the trail than hikers. 19 � i i Positive Impacts of Combined Trail Use: I . Cost of trail construction and maintence is considerably less. 2. Fewer trails bisect tracts of natural land on a preserve. Negative Impacts of Combined Trail Use: i . Each class of trail user may have a less than rewarding experience due to distraction or interference with other users. 2. A potential danger exists whenever pedestrians and equestrians take to the same trail , especially when it is narrow and visibility is poor. Suggested Mitigations. 1 . Restrict narrow trails with poor visibility to pedestrian use only. 2. Designate wide, straighter segments of combined use trails as "trot - canter" areas where the horses are allowed to extend past the walking gait. Numerous signs along such trail segments could warn pedestrian users to be on the alert for horses and that the horse and rider may be moving rapidly. Equestrians would be required to travel only p at the walk except in the designated "trot-canter" areas. 3. Enforce combined trail use rules with mounted ranger patrols during the heavy use hours and days of each week. Husbandry Practices and Stable Management 20 The consultants were given a tour of High Meadow Stables by the lessee. The horses appeared to all be in good health and well fed and watered. Ms. Fike also impressed us as one who is quite knowledgeable in the area of horse husbandry and breeding. However, there were several aspects of the management of the stable itself which appear to fall short of management standards attained by other stables located within or adjacent to park lands. Several of these aspects invite comment in this report. A. General Housekeeping and Appearance: In order to obtain some sort of comparison between the High Meadow Stable and other stables located in or near public park land, two other stables were visited and a third was visually surveyed from Ravensbury Road. One of these was Wunderlich Park Stables which in located within Wunderlich County Park, San Mateo County. In physical structure it differs greatly from High Meadow Stable in that it occupies a beautiful old carriage house (Fig. 12) . However, even old classic structures can look shabby if not kept in repair and free of trash, weeds, etc. In the case of Wunderlich Park Stables, it is kept clean and neat throughout and is an actual show piece for park visitors. It is also interesting to note that the monthly horse boarding fee at Wunderlich ($225/month) is very close to the range charged at the High Meadow Stable ($170 - $220) . In addition, the respective lease agreements call for similar monthly rents ($660 for Wunderlich; $700 for High Meadow) . The second stable visited was the Oakland Riding Academy which shares a common border with Redwood Regional Park, Oakland, California. For man/ years the Academy, which boards horses and 21 teaches riders, maintaining a small number of riding school horses, had a lease agreement with Redwood Regional Park which allowed it to develop and operate a crosscountry course on the I adjacent park property. Once again, the old barn structure on the Oakland Riding Academy property is larger than any at the High Meadow Stable site (Fig. 13, but here again the grounds and structure have been kept in repair and free of trash and weeds. A closer-to-home comparison may be found in the small private stables on Ravensbury Road shortly before the point where the unpaved portion -which goes to the High Madow Stable begins. This facility offers a closer physical comparison because the horses are housed in paddocks and small shed stalls like many at High Meadows (Fig. 14) . Like the previous two stables comparisons, this small stables is well kept with no trash, weeds, etc. in view: H In rather striking contrast to the three comparison stables, High Meadow Stable presents a less than impressive picture to visitors to the preserve (Fig. 15) . Weeds and trash are in evidence, and several of the structures are in need of paint and repair. When its present physical appearance is compared with the' other public and private stables, it falls quite short of their standard. Horse -Human Safety: The adequate protection of the public from horses and vice versa is of high importance in any stable operation located on or adjacent to public park land. In all three public stables included in the comparison, the public may wander into the stall areas, often without being detected or 22 supervised by stable personnel . The problem here is quite basic. Nearly everyone likes horses, especially children, and often the first act upon encountering one is to get close to it and pet it. The average young person weighs about 100 pounds while the average horse weighs about 1000 lbs. Just a misplaced step by the horse can break a toe bone while a kick can cause serious Seven fatal ) injury. While any horse may become excited when its stall is suddenly envaded by an unfamiliar human, the probability of human injury may increase when the horse in question is a stallion or a mare with foal . High Meadow Stables has 9 stallions and a number of mares with foals on the property. As seen at both the Wunderlich Park Stable and the Oakland Riding Academy, the horses are housed in large stalls with either wire or metal bars protecting the window areas (Figs. 16 Be 17) . At these stables, a determined horse lover would have to open a stall door, many of which are locked, in order to satisfy his or her petting urge. In contrast, most of the stalls at High Meadow Stables have no such protective wire front or sides, and some like the one shown in figure Is actually invite entry. From a husbandry aspect, a stall such as this, even with its patch job, is capable of housing a horse adequately. However, when uncontrolled public access to stalls such as this is possible, determined children can go over, under or through the walls. Manure Storage and Removal : A well fed horse can produce about 6 cubic feet of manure mixed with bedding material each day. With 54 horses present at the High Meadow Stable at the 23 beginning of this study, the daily production of a manure - bedding mix would be about 324 cubic feet. This production goes on day after day, and --though the biodegration or composting process which stacked manure goes through greatly reduces the volume over time-- the removal of the manure mass must be dealt with sooner or later. This problem appears to be handled well at the Wunderl £cht Park Stables. Manure is removed daily and stored in a bin area, screened off from public view (Fig. 19) . It is then periodically removed from the park area. At the High Meadow Stable, the manure is also removed from the stall on a daily or bi-daily basis, but is then added to a "manure mountain" which flanks the south side of the Rogue Valley hiking trail as it runs through the stable area (Fig. 20) . Besides producing a visual blight, runoff from this area may cause excessive organic pollution as it seeps into Permanente Creek. Although this survey was conducted during a very dry late spring and summer when the creek was not flowing, it seems certain that some manure will be washed into the stream when the fall rains begin, since some manure has been deposited directly in the creek on the northern edge of the stall area (Fig. 21 ) . Positive Impacts of the Present Stable Condition: None. Negative Impacts of Present Stable Condition: 1 . A potentially dangerous situation exists in which the park-using public, especially children, may gain direct access to horse stalls, especially those of stallions and mares with foals. 24 2. Organic pollution of Permanente Creek down stream from the stable may occur during the rainy season due to improper manure disposal . 3. The poorly kept physical plant of High Meadow Stables may have a negative visual impact on preserve users. Suggested Mitigations: 1 . Reorganize' the work schedule of hired or volunteer help so that it includes daily clean-up chores. 2. Fence the entire horse stable area, using five foot cyclone or non-climb fence so that the public cannot wander into what appears to be a potentially dangerous stall access situation. An alternative to this would be to initiate a crash program of stall and paddock repair in which five foot high non- climb horse fence is attached to the outside of all open stall . , and paddock walls and' gates so that children cannot crawl through or over them. 3. The Stable could invest in a small tractor with a loader. Older used units such as the Ford SN or 9N may be obtained for about $2,000. This would permit the easy loading of a pickup truck or manure trailer. A small dump truck could also be rented periodically for this purpose. A local cemetery has stated that they could use all the manure which the stable can deliver. Eire Protection Perhaps the greatest problem facing the High Meadow Stable operation is that of adequate fire protection. Some of the 25 factors contribut_ng to this problem are as *oliows: 1 . There is presently ample combustible material scatterred around the stable which could be ignited by a cigarette, hot catalytic converter, faulty electric wire from generator, etc. 2. "NO SMOKING" signs are not abundantly displayed at the stables, and there is essentially no control over smoking park users wandering into the stable area. 3. There are very few fire extinguishers at the stable and these are not prominently displayed. 4. The only water at the stable is supplied by the daily tank filling process previously described. When the two storage tanks are filled to capacity (3000 gallons) there might be enough water to stop a spreading fire if adequate hoses and hydrants were available. However, the water storage is often below this maximum capacity and, according to the lessee, occasionally runs I _ out. If a fire should start at one of these low storage times, It seems doubtful that it could be controlled. ~ 5. There is no phone service at the stables. Therefore one would have to drive to the homes on the paved portion of Ravenbury Road in order to report a fire. 6. Once a call is received at the Los Altos Fire Department, fire chief Dave Whiting estimates it would take 3 minutes to reach the intersection of Magdalena and Ravensbury. Beyond that point, however, the additional travel time to the stables would be totally dependent on the traffic on Ravensbury Road. Fire engines would have difficulty passing vehicles on the paved portion of this road, and it would probably be impossible to do so on the unpaved segment which leads to the stable. 26 7. Once a fire truck makes its way to the stable area, there remains some question as to how effectively it could control a fire. Because the Los Altos Fire Department relies on hydrants for its water rather than an extensive on- board tank supply, each truck would bring with it only 500 gallons. 8. The fire hazard problem unfortunately does not stop at the stable boundary. The coastal scrub vegetation on the north canyon wall above the stable is extremely dry, and prevailing winds which blow up Rogue Valley would probably drive a large stable fire up the north wall and into the residential properties beyond. There of course would also be a substantial loss of Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve's natural plant communities. Assistant chief Stuart Farwell #eels that the High Meadow Stable fire hazard situation is perhaps the worst in the fire t district. He also questions how such a situation was allowed to develop in the first place since the county building code for the surrounding area requires that a water hydrant be in place for every two or three home cluster. Positive Impacts of Stable Fire Hazard Situation: on. None. Negative Impacts of Stable Fire Hazard Situation: Ths situation poses a continuous threat to the preserve lands, the neighboring residential community, and the stable itself, especially during the dry months of the year. Suggested Mitigations: 27 I 1 . Conduct stable clean-up operation as previously recommended . 2. Restrict public wandering in stable area and install numerous 'NO SMOKING" signs and fire extinguishers. 3. Provide the stable with telephone service so that a fire can be immediately reported. 4. Provide the stable with P. 0. & E. electricity so that a an electric well or reservoir pump could be installed. 5. Ensure a large volume water supply for fire fighting by Installing a large volume .storage tank high on the north valley wall or installing a high volume agricultural spray irrigation type pump and appropriate pipe line iron the reservoir to the stable area. . This latter option would also entail maintaining the reservoir west of the stable at appropriate capacity for fighting fires. 6. Initiate a liason with the Los Altos Fire Department so that a fire protection plan for the stable may be implemented. Summa _____ry AnA CRnclusion A number of the points of objection which have been raised concerning the High Meadow Stable such as noise, dust, flies, visual impact, traffic, and trail congestion, can be eliminated or reduced through the implementation of relatively inexpensive mitigation measures. However, the many problems associated with the management of the Stable' s physical plant, the lack of protection for the public in the stable area, and the complete lack of any adequate fire protection for the site casts serioous doubt as to whether the stable can and should continue 28 I to operate in its present state. A decision as to whether the latter problems may be successfully dealt with should be based heavily on two factors. i The first should be a financial and management analysis of the High Meadow Stable operation to see if proper finance is available or can be generated to pay for maintanence and improvement mitigations suggested in this and other reports. In this analysis particular attention should be paid the the dual function of High Meadow Stables as both a boarding and a breeding stable and to what extent the latter function may diminish the potential income of the stable. The second factor would be a set of decisions on the part of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District as to whether it is willing to supply water, electrical , and telephone service to the present or any- future lessee at the stable site. Another r point of consideration is whether or not the District wishes to grant a longer term lease for the stable property and possibly include rent credits for specified improvements by the lessee. Finally, attention should be paid throughout the decision making process to the opinion so strongly expressed at the June 11th meeting that the community is in great need of more horse boarding facilities. When considering this latter point it should also be remembered that the present operation devotes only about one half of the stall and paddock space to boarding horses owned by residents of the community while the rest contain horses owned by the lessee.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: C. Britton, Land Acquisition Manager; D. Hansen, Land Manager; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Proposed Addition to Windy Hill Open Space Preserve (Bowers Property) Introduction: The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District has been offered the opportunity to purchase a 1 .3 acre parcel of land located adjacent to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve and within the Town of Portola Valley. The property is bounded on three sides by the Windy Hill Preserve and would become an addition to that site (see attached map) . A. Description of the Site 1 . Size, Location and Boundaries The 1 .3 acre parcel is located within the town limits of Portola Valley and is bounded to the north, south, and west by the District's Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Private property adjoins the property to the east. 2. Topography, Geology and Natural Landscape Razorback Ridge, which extends from Skyline Boulevard to Alpine Road, is the dominant landscape feature of the south- eastern area of the Windy Hill Preserve. The subject property is located at the toe of Razorback Ridge and is primarily level . Vegetation on the site is mainly oak-madrone forest with some intermingled chaparral species. B. Planning Considerations The property is designated Mountain Residential in the Portola Valley Zoning Ordinance. The zone is designed to protect the integ- rity of the foothills, and public open space would be a compatible use. The site is rated high on the District's Master Plan map, a composite rating of the suitability of the property as open space land. R-84-38 Page two C. Current Use and Development Access to the property is from the unsurfaced road (known as the Ruolf Trail Extension) which leads to the former Bachtold property. The road also forms the southwest property line of the site. As stated in the Bachtold property acquisition report (see report R-84-16, dated March 15, 1984) this road continues up Razorback Ridge on the Windy Hill Preserve to Skyline Boulevard. The road is very steep in places and is not maintained on the Preserve. There are no structures on the site. D. Potential Use and Management The road is an integral part of the trail system and can be used for patrol, hiking, and equestrian use. The flat area can provide a rest spot and picnic area. Protecting this site from development will eliminate potential vehicular traffic from the road. The site should be maintained as a natural open space area and thus protect the integrity of Razorback Ridge. E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations 1 . The site will be managed as a natural area and open to public use. F. Dedication I recommend the site be dedicated as public open space. G. Naminq I recommend the site become an addition to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Terms The total purchase price provided for in the attached Purchase Agree- ment is $20, 000 for the 1.3 acre parcel, to be paid in cash at the close of escrow. This value is in accordance with an appraisal prepared for the District. 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 Office to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary to Closing of the Transaction (Windy Hill Open Space Preserve - Lands of Bowers) . I further recommend that you tentatively adopt the use and management recommendations contained in this report, including naming the property an addition to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve, and indicate your intention to dedicate the property as public open space.

Grench, General Manager CONTRIBUTORS: D. Hansen, Land Manager; J. Boland, Operations Supervisor SUBJECT: Approval of Field Staff Redeployment Plan, Including the Hiring of Two Additional Rangers, and Implementation of an Interim Skyline Satellite Ranger Yard Introduction: Included in the approved Open Space Management budget for fiscal year 1984-85 is funding for the development of an interim ranger satellite yard at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve at a cost of $9,585 and two additional Ranger positions to be filled during the year at a total cost of $25,000. Both of these anticipated additions, along with a proposed staff redeployment plan which is in- cluded in this report, were preceded by considerable staff analysis and were identified as key projects in the Action Plans of 1983-84 and 1984-85. Discussion: The District, during the past two years, has experienced considerable growth in acreage, public visitation, and number of improvements to maintain. The recent addition of the Purisima Creek property at one end of the District and increased use of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve at the other end of the District, caused in part by publicity, newly acquired lands, and the proposed Kennedy Road parking lot will cause the field staff as it is currently configured to be stretched very thin. As presented at the time the budget was approved (see report R-84-30 dated June 7, 1984) the proposed staffing and redeployment plan which is intended to alleviate these growing pains, includes dividing the patrol Rangers into two distinct groups: a Foothills area patrol group and a Skyline area patrol group. The two proposed additional Ranger positions, which will be filled about October 1 , 1984 and April 1 , 1985, are integral components of the new redeployment plan. The Foothills group will be based out of the main yard at Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve. A new, possibly temporary, satellite yard is proposed at the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve to serve as a base for the Skyline group. This yard was approved by you at the last use and management review for the site (see report R-83-48 dated November 28, 1983). Total start-up costs are budgeted at approximately $9,600 and will take advantage of existing facilities , including the garage, small cabin, gas pump, and gas tank located on the site. Since the final plan for Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve may not include a satellite Ranger yard, an alternative site on land owned by the District currently has been identified at the barn area on the Coal Creek Open Space Preserve which would, however, require the construction of some new facilities. The Foothills unit, made up of one Lead Ranger and three Rangers, will patrol all lands in the lower foothills area, those lands south of Highway 17, the former Hassler Hospital site, and the Baylands preserves. The Skyline group, made up of one Lead Ranger, three Rangers, and a Ranger Aide, will patrol all Skyline Corridor area acreage and the northern lands, including Purisima Creek and La Honda Creek Open Space Preserves. M-84-74 Page two A separate Crew group, whose duties are strictly for site development and major maintenance projects, will continue to be based out of the Rancho San Antonio Ranger Yard. This group will be made up of one Lead Ranger, two Rangers, and two Ranger Aides. This group will continue to work throughout the entire District and will obviously still be available for emergencies to aid the patrolling groups. Some opportunities for interchange of Rangers to different'groups will be made available to mitigate any problem with stagnation in a set position. Minor maintenance and out b all Rangers as has been the case will continue to be carried repair projects Y 9 in the past. Implementation of the redeployment program would be completed by January 1 , 1985. The attached chart outlines the staffing of these groups. Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the revised field staff deployment plan which includes hiring two additional Rangers as budgeted and the implementa- tion of an interim Ranger satellite yard at the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve.

RAIL r INFORMATION AND VOLUNTEER CENTER July 19, 1983 Board of Directors Hidpeninsula Regional Open Space District 375 Distel Circle, Suite D-1 Los Altos, CA 94022 SUBJECT: Request for Funding - Trails Information & Volunteer Center Dear Board members: On September 1, 1983 the Trails Information and Volunteer Center will open, using temporary quarters at the Peninsula Conservation Center. The Volunteer Center, staffed by a half-time coordinator, is the result of months of planning by local public and private organizations and interested individuals. David Hansen, of your staff, has been a member of the steering committee. The project was originally spawned by the Appalachian Mountain Club's National Volunteer Project under a Mellon Foundation grant. The purpose of the Center is to promote and increase opportunities for volunteer stewardship of trails in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Francisco Counties. Projects envisioned in- clude expanding the popular Trail Days held every spring in the Santa Cruz Mountains and co-sponsored by MROSD, disseminating literature for trail users, and coordinating the construction anc. riaintenance of trails, specifically the Bayfront and Skyline Corridor trails. The budget for the Center has been set at $25, 000 the first fiscal year, with much of this funding earmarked for the Coordinator's $10, 000 salary. Funding is being sought from various sources and we are requesting at this time that your Board consider granting a $2, 000 contribution to aid the Center. This money can be specifically earmarked for trails and other volunteer ' projects on District. lands. Vie feel the Center will not only be of great assistance in promoting District lands and trails to the public, but will also have a direct function in implementing District trail construction and maintenance projects. As mentioned, we are seeking funding from several other sources, including the Counties of San Mateo and Santa Clara, the Semper- virens Fund , the Sierra Club, Audubon Society, Peninsula Open Space Trust, the Packard and Hancock Foundations, and others. i Page tWo Our steering committee is made up of the following individuals: Tony Look, Sempervirens Fund; Carolyn Lekberg and Sylvia Ferguson, Mid-peninsula Trails Council; Don Weden, Santa Clara County Planning Department; Charles Brock, San Mateo County Parks; Warren Olson, Santa Cruz Mountains Trails Association; Rose Gray, Sierra Club; and David Hansen, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Tamra Peters also has been very active as a co-chairperson of the steering committee until her recent job change. We have included some other materials to inform you in more detail of the Trail Information and Volunteer Center and to aid in your consideration of our request. Very truly yours, For the T.I.V.C.

The spirit of James Watt is about to be visited upon the County Board of Supervisors. liat Tuesday, August 0-,the San Mateo County Development Association will request the Board to "place a moratorium on the acquisition of properties by any governmental agency until a complete study is made of those properties now designated as arks and open Pen space". This request is being made due to the Development Association's purported "investigation' into how much parks and open space is "needed" In San Mateo County. The Task Force that is "investigating" these questions includes: Patricia Bennie, Councilwoman, San Carlos. An avid foe of open space preservation. Jim Fitzgerald, former County Supervisor. Worked tirelessly against the Midpeninsula Regional 0pen Space District's formation and eventual annexation of lands in southern San Mateo County. Joseph Gughemetti, founder of the California Coastal Council, a group devoted to abolition of the Coastal Commission. Dolores Mullin, Councilwoman, Half Moon Bay. Another foe of open space and the Coastal Commission. Hank Sciaroni, the U.C. Agricultural Extension agent. Advocated commercial timber harvesting in Pescadero Creek County Park. Although he advises farmers. he favors allowing development of their land. T.Jack Foster. Developer of Foster City, and President of the San Mateo County Development Association. The primary target of this cozy group is the proposed State acquisition of the Cascade Ranch near Ana Nuevo. However, they will likely also recommend that the Open Space District stop buying land in the foothills and baylands so that we can have more jobs and housing in these areas. The Development Association's statement would require that all public agencies be subject to a moratorium - even cities seeking to acquire needed parklands or surplus school sites.

The spirit of James Watt is about to be visited upon the County Board of Supervisors. iVem Tuesday, August la, the San Mateo County Development Association will request the Board to "place a moratorium on the acquisition of properties by any governmental agency until a complete study is made of those properties now designated as parks and open space". This request is being made due to the Development Association's purported "investigation" into how much parks and open space is "needed" In San Mateo County. The Task Force that is "investigating" these questions includes: Patricia Bennie, Councilwoman, San Carlos. An avid foe of open space preservation. Jim Fitzgerald, former County Supervisor. Worked tirelessly against the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's formation and eventual annexation of lands in southern San Mateo County. Joseph Gughemetti, founder of the California Coastal Council, a group devoted to abolition of the Coastal Commission.: Dolores Mullin, Councilwoman, Half Moon Bay. Another foe of open space and the Coastal Commission. Hank Sciaroni, the U.C. Agricultural Extension agent. Advocated commercial timber ber harvesting 8in Pescadero Creek County Park. Although he advises farmers, he favors allowing development of their land. T.Jack Foster. Developer of Foster City, and President of the San Mateo County Development Association. The primary target of this cozy group is the proposed State acquisition of the Cascade Ranch near Ano Nuevo. However, they will likely also recommend that the Open Space District stop buying land in the foothills and baylands so that we can have more jobs and housing in these areas. The Development Association's statement would require that all public agencies be subject to a moratorium - even cities seeking to acquire needed parklands or surplus school sites.
