IV. JOINT BOARD QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD Items discussed during this period included: reasons for the Hosking acquisition; whether the Hosking acquisition could have been accom- plished without such a major expenditure of tax dollars; whether the District provides enough recreational opportunities on its lands in San Mateo County; concerns regarding lack of access to District lands; the possibility of having a large picnic area on the Hassler site for groups of 500 to 700 people; expansion of the District' s public infor- mation program and distribution of information to San Mateo County Herbert A.Grench,General Manager Board of Directors:Katherine Duffy,Nonette G.Hanko,Teena Renshaw,Richard S.Bishop,Edward G.Shelley,Harry A.Turner,Daniel G.Wendin Meeting 85-25 Page two residents; types of recreational opportunities provided for the physically limited on District lands; the percentage of the District' s budget allocated for site development; the purpose of the District and whether there was a duplication of efforts with both the County and the District acquiring land for openspace and park purposes; actions taken to alleviate citizens ' concerns regarding the use of eminent domain; the need for cooperation between all agencies involved in the acquisition of land for recreational purposes; and what the District is considering in terms of amended annexation policies. Staff and Board responses to the questions raised during the discussion period included: 1) Mr. Hosking preferred to see all of his property as open space, and the District entered into the acquisition, after an extended negotiation process, because of the resources the property provided; 2) an explanation of the needed balance between open space acquisition and development and the role of an open space in terms of providing different types of recreational opportunities; 3) District properties are accessible to members of the public; 4) the District' s Board would be receptive to considering a request from the Board of Supervisors for a large group picnic area concept on the Hassler site in conjunction with planning for the site and the possibility of a cooperative effort with the County; 5) a description of District sites accessible to the physically limited and future whole access plans for District sites; and 6) an explanation of what has been done in terms of special workshops to gather public input from citizens and the work the District' s Board committee has done to formulate draft eminent domain and annexation policies.

Robert Marks, speaking in behalf of the Governmental Research Founda- tion, discussed the need for the District to undertake a survey to determine what the people of San Mateo want and expect from the District.

Pr*eting 85-25 Page three David Sutton, Los Altos , expressed his support for the District and for the need of continued acquisition of open space in a timely manner. VI . CONCLUSION Supervisor Speier proposed the idea of the two Boards meeting on an annual basis and posed questions regarding signing, the issue of acquisition versus recreational development, and adequate District site development funding. Nita Spanger, a member of the San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Commission, expressed her thanks to the members of the Boards for holding the meeting and commented on the good staff liaison that exists between the two agencies. Due to the lateness of the hour, Supervisor Speier suggested that the proposed joint staff presentation considering possible joint ventures should occur at a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, at which time the Supervisors could consider taking any action necessary. Discussion centered on when a brainstorming session between the two Boards could occur. Supervisor Ward suggested the District' s directors forward their ideas to District staff for inclusion in the joint staff presentation. The possibility of including the brainstorming session as part of the next joint meeting was also discussed. Supervisor Speier indicated that the next joint meeting of the Boards might occur during the early part of 1986. VII . ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 10 : 06 P.M. Jean H.

Current Use and Development Access to the property is from a road just north of the CalTrans vista point parking area on the east side of Skyline Boulevard. .tl - y The se7..-i-surfaced -roadway centerline forms the northern boundary of the southern half of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve, and also ser-,.-es as a driveway to an adjacent residence and two privately owned vacant homes i'Les . The District has an easement over the other one-half of the road enabling the road to be used by Ranger patrol vehicles, hikers bicyclists , and equestrians for-r access from Skyline Boulevard to the Preserve. As the ro-aawav enters the Preserve it passes 0 through a locked- District gate , becomes dirt surfaced, and con- tinues along the western boundary of the subject parcel, continuing on through the Preserve in a northerly direction to intersect Alpine Road. This -road also continues on the west side of Skyline Boulevard through Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, connecting Coal Creek Open Space Preserve with Russian Ridge open Space Preserve. D. Potential Use and Development Parking for the site can be accommodated at the CalTrans vista point on Skyline Boulevard. Hiking and equestrian access would also be available from Alpine Road and from parking areas at Los Trancos and Monte Bello Open Space Preserves. The knoll would become part of a major trail route paralleling Skyline Boulevard connecting the District ' s Monte Bello, Los Trancos , and Coal Creek Open Space Preserves with Russian Ridge and Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserves. The site would be an attractive picnic destination for both hikers and passing motorists on Skyline Boulevard. Visitors should also find the site attractive for kite flying and photography because of the grassland meadows and open landscape. 47 Page 3 The through the site from Alpine Road to Skyline Boulevard coul--:' also form pa-rt of an alternate route for bicyclists wishing to '_:�ass the extremely narrow winding upper section of Page Mill Road and reach Skyline Boulevard without competing with automobile tra-_"f:'.c . Although the upper part of Alpine Road is currently close: , it is a designated route on both the San Mateo County Bikeways Plan (1976) and the Santa Clara County Regional Parks Trails and Scenic Highways Plan (1981) . Several requests have been made by the San Mateo County Bikeways Committee and the Santa Clara County Trails and Pathways Committee to reopen Alpine Road to recreational uses. E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations Unde_ %_ terms of an informal agreement with P.O.S.T. , made at the the time of acquisi 4.-ion of the adjacent Fernandez properties , the District agreed to manage and patrol the subject property. Thus , the site has been open to the public and has been included in the Use and Management Plan for Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. 1 . ^he eroded area on the road along the western boundary of the site needs reoair and was scheduled to be regraded this year. However, P .G. -'-,- . has decided to repair the road at its expense and has already put o,-,'L- bids , so the District will be spared -"h-:'-s ex3Dense. F.

I expect the surrounding area to be proposed for dedication at the time of the next Use and Management Plan report for Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. II . La Honda Creek Open S2ace Preserve Addition (For ma p_ , see Exhibit B) A. Description of the Site 1. Size, Location and Boundaries This 5. 1 acre property adjoins La Honda Road (Highway 84) to the east and La Honda Open Space Preserve to the west, with private property to the north and south. Approximately 2 .2 miles south of the intersection of La Honda Road and Skyline Boulevard, the site would provide trail access from La Honda Road to the Preserve. There is a 3 to 5 car pullout next to the potential trailhead on La Honda Road which could provide parking for Preserve visitors. The District ' s Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is located approximately one mile to the east. R-85-47 Page 2 . 1:ec)!C)C,'V and Natural Landscape A ---e Property slopes steeply down from an elevation of 1160 at La Honda Road to 920 feet at La Honda Creek along western boundary of the parcel . Langley Creek forms the s3t-i-_hern boundary, intersecting with La Honda Creek at the so-__hwestern corner of the property. The land is densely 'Lorested with second growth redwood and Douglas fir near the creeks , changing to a mixed evergreen forest of madrone bay, and oak on the primarily north facing slopes. The disturbed areas of the property on old roadbeds and slides have been invaded by Scotch broom and coyote bush. B. Planning Considerations The Property is located within unincorporated San Mateo County. It is zoned Resource Management, and open space use of the land is consistent with the General Plan for San Mateo County. The property is included in an area designed "existing urban e7 t" on the District ' s Master Plan Map, and its open space value is not rated. C. Cu.rrent Use and r-'e'.-elopment Access to the prop erty is i-rom a 3 to 5 car pullout on La Honda Rca.-" . A trail , Prone to landslides and overgrowth by broom and C --mise at the upper end , leads steeply down through the property to -,--'-,e junction of Langley and La Honda Creeks at the southwester of the Property. Lv crossing the creek , hikers can con- tinue on into La Fonda Creek Open Space Preserve on overgrown old log:--,1ing roads . The shell of an old cabin , apparently used as a residence by a previous owner so7me years ago, remains overlooking Lambert Creek. The cabin has been vandalized , with windows broken and trash scattered about, but it appears basically sturdy. However, it presents an attractive nuisance and is hazardous in its present condition. Pipes carried water from the creek to the cabin. Old wires beside the trail leading down from La Honda Road indicate it once also had electricity. Essentially one large living-dining room with a small sleeping loft, the cabin had a large window overlooking the creek, a deck, a flush toilet, and a primitive shower. D. Potential Use and Management This property will provide parking and a trail access route from La Honda Road to the southern part of La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve. Until the Darling property acquisition, which recently closed escrow, access to the Preserve was restricted to the 50 foot Norgaard easement adjacent to a private residence. The latter is impassable due to its steepness and hazardous creek crossing. The Darling property acquisition will also increase potential access , although the old logging road is in need of a lot of al brushing and repair before it can be used by the public. 7 Page 5 E• 77S e and V:-anagement Re —_commendations 3-1d cabin on the property will be removed since it is a c,,Dtential hazard. 2 . Preserve boundary plaques and private property signs will be n1aced on the site where appropriate. 3. Staff will investigate the boundaries of the property to lZetermine if there are potential encroachments. F. Name I recommend that the property become an addition to La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve and be known by that name. G. Dedication I recommend the site be dedicated even though the adjacent La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve is currently undedicated, since it is a grant project . III . Terns The overall grant -project has a value of $265 ,000 based upon a value of $160 , 000 --- the Coal Creek parcel and $85 ,000 for the La Honda Creek parcel . Peninsula Open Space Trust has offered to sell both prcpertJes to the District for a total price of $1933 , 825 which re-presents the funds available under the grant project. The difference z,-r $71 , 175 would be a gift to the District and Serve as the D-* :-_tr4 _t ' S matching share of the overall project amo,-:rl This purchase would require all cash at the close of escrow, and the fund'-s would come' from the District 's 1985 note issue proceeds . 7* grant funds would come to the District on -a reimbursement basis . Reco,-n_menda-__, on: I recom. -mend that you adopt the accompanying Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing Acceptance of Agreement to Purchase Real Property, Authorizing Officer to Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other Documents Necessary to Closing of the Transaction (Coal Creek and La Honda Creek Open Space Preserves - Lands of Peninsula Open Space Trust) . I also recommend that you tentatively adopt the Interim Use and Management Plan recommendations for the Coal Creek Open Space Preserve parcel con- tained in this report, in naming the property as an addition to the Coal Creek Open Space Preserve, and indicate your intention to dedicate the property as open space. I further recommend that you tentatively adopt the Interim Use and Manage- ment Plan recommendations for the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve parcel contained in this report, including naming the property as an addition to the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, and indicate your intention to dedicate this property as open space. •-, \ �� ;: '` S PAC•JAL CREEK OPENa _.` .'` " /'''•,\ -y� l�'oo`i� :s• •,t RUSS IAN RIDGE OPEN SPACE U z' SCALE 1" - 2000' �:. r t C. 1: •�' `GV'Y� \�.Siatgvm.g`N--t vuJ: �• -- S,'i�. \\ �j '�• • end° N iI S _ w 1it BSc o \VS N •'�.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPAPaTION: C. Britton , Land Acquisition Manager; D. Vi'oods, Open Space Planner; A. Cummings , Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: Proposed Additions to Coal Creek and La Ronda Creek Open Space Preserves (Lands of Peninsula Open Space Trust) Introductic : The District has applied for $193 ,825 for the 1985-86 fiscal veer from the Ro erti-Z 'berg Urban Open Space and Recreation Program to ac^ui re teo properties frc the Peninsula Open Space Trust (P.O. S.T. ) , a 10. 6 acre a2ldition to Coal Creek Open Space Preserve and a 5. 1 acre audition to La Honda Crec,k Open Space Preserve. Matching funds in the amount of $71 , 175 will be in the form of a gift from P.O.S.T. for a total wroject cost cf $26_ , u00 . The additions , already described in the Grant application report presented earlier this month (Report R-85-44 of August 2 , 19S5 ) , will increase public use potential for the two preserves . I. Coal Creek Ooen Space Preserve Addition (For map, see Exhibit A) A. Description of the Site 1. Size, Location and Boundaries The 10. 5 acre property is located about 200 feet be low a CalTrans vista point pullout on the east side of Skyline Boulevard , approximately one mile from the Page Mill-Skyline Boulevard-Alpine Road intersection. This vista pullout also provides parking for Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. The property is :surrounded by Coal Creek Open Space Preserve on three sides with private property to the west. 2 . To ogre h , Geolo and Natural P P Y g� al Landscape Th — e r p o ert is a rominent 2 P 160 Y P foot high grassy knoll in the center of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve The knoll overlooks the rest of the Preserve, affords fine views in all directions , including the ridges of Los Trancos Open Space Preserve and Monte Bello Ridge, and would be a scenic destination easily accessible from Skyline Boulevard. Primarily open grassland, the knoll is bordered by woodland dominated by oak and madrone, with some Douglas fir. It is underlain by shales and sandstones which are prone to land- sliding. R-85-47 Page 2 B. Pla=_4 :: Considerations The --r-)certy is located in unincorporated San Mateo County and is µi r the Sphere of Influence of the Town of Portola Valley. It 4S -,7' t'-in the Skyline Scenic Corridor, a 1000 foot strip of land- ' cn !Doth sides of Skyline Boulevard intended to protect the scenic qualities and viewshed both on and from the Skyline rid::ieli-e area. The property is zoned Resource Management, and open space use of the land is consistent with the General Plans for San Mateo County and for the Town of Portola Valley. The property is given a high rating on the District's Master Plan Mar). C. Current Use and Development Access to the property is from a road just north of the CalTrans vista z)oin-L parkins area on the east side of Skyline Boulevard. The semi-surfaced roadway centerline forms the northern boundary of the southern half of Coal Creek Open Space Preserve, and also serve-s as a drive:;-ay to an adjacent residence and two privately owned vacant homesites. The District has a_n ease-n- ent over the other one-half of the road enabling the road to be used byRanger patrol vehicles, hikers, bicyclists , and equestrians for access from Skyline Boulevard to the Preser,.re. As the roadway enters the Preserve it passes a locked District gate , becomes dirt surfaced, and con- tinues along the r._-stern boundary of the subject parcel , continuing on through the Preserve in a northerly direction to intersect Aldine Road. This -road also continues on the west side of Skyline Boulevard through Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve, connecting Coal Creek Open Space Preserve with Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve. D. Potential-' al Use and Development Parking for the site can be accommodated at the CalTrans vista point on Skyline Boulevard. Hiking and equestrian access would also be available from Alpine Road and from parking areas at Los Trancos and Monte Bello Open Space Preserves. The knoll would become part of a major trail route paralleling Skyline Boulevard connecting the District ' s Monte Bello, Los Trancos, and Coal Creek Open Space Preserves with Russian Ridge and Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserves. The site would be an attractive picnic destination for both hikers and passing motorists on Skyline Boulevard.

Several requests have been made by the San Mateo County Bikeways Committee and the Santa Clara County Trails and Pathways Committee to reopen Alpine Road to recreational uses. E. Interim Use and Management Recommendations Under the terms of an informal agreement with P.O.S.T. , made at the time of acquisition of the adjacent Fernandez properties , the District- agreed, to manage and pa-rol the subject property. Thus , the site has been open to the public and has been included in the Use and Management_ Plan for Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. 1 . -_-Ine eroded area on the road along the western boundary of the site needs r;=-a4r and was scheduled to be regraded this year. However , P .G. &E . has decided to repair the road at its expense and has already put out bids , so the District will be spared this expense. F. Name I reco:=,.end that this arty he considered an addition to the Coal Creek Oren S-zace Preserve. G. Dedication Since this is a arant project, I recommend that this property be dedicated as public open space even though the surrounding area is currently undedicated. I expect the surrounding area to be proposed for dedication at the time of the next Use and Management Plan report for Coal Creek Open Space Preserve. II . La Honda Creek Open Space (For map, see Exhibit B) A. Description of the Site 1.

Dedication cation I recommend the site be dedicated even though the adjacent La Honda Creek- Open Space 1P-reserve is currently undedicated , since it is a grant project . III . Terms The overall grant -roject has a value of $265 , 000 based upon a Z, value of $180 , 000 -;7cr the Coal Creek parcel and $85 ,000 for the La Honda Creek parcel . Peninsula Open Space Trust has offered to sell both z)r0_pertieS to the District for a total price of $193 , 825 which reoresents the -funds available under the grant project. The difference of $71 , 175 would be a gift to the District and serve as the D-Lst-rict- ' s matching share of the overall project amorist. This purch_=se would require all cash at the close of escrow, and the sands would come from the District ' s 1985 note issue proceeds. The grant "funds would come to the District on a rei.m.bursement basi. s .

The Site and Design Review Committee met on September 27, 1985 to discuss progress in meeting the terms of the lease agreement and other matters requiring the Committee ' s approval. It was decided that rather than painting the buildings, various stains will be tried on the fermentation building to protect the wood but not change the appearance of the complex. Entry signing was also discussed, and a temporary sign identifying the winery and winery hours was installed until a permanent sign solution identifying both the Preserve and the winery can be found. Concern was ex- pressed to complete restoration of the pressing room and garage as this has been delayed due to a shift in priority completion of the main house. A chart is attached showing the current timetable and progress on the lease. The lessees are currently applying for a State Historic Preservation Grant to assist in financing the restoration process. Applications for the grant are due November 1, 1985, and a Resolution approving this application is included on your October 23 agenda. The Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club on Stevens Canyon Road has applied for a continuation of its use permit from the Santa Clara County Planning Commission. Many of the neighbors on Monte Bello Ridge near the Picchetti Ranch Area as well as Preserve visitors have complained about an increase in noise since the adjacent quarry removed a hill which acted as a natural sound barrier. Petitions and letters have been sent to the Santa Clara County Planning Commission. A copy of a letter sent by District staff to the Planning Commission is attached. II . Planning Considerations The site is ranked moderately high on the District' s plan for Relative Emphasis of District Sites (see memorandum M-85-02 , dated January 3, 1985) . While the renovation of the leasehold area continues, the site will most likely be reviewed on an annual basis. Permits to operate the winery were obtained by the lessee from Santa Clara County. III. Use and Management Plan The following discussion and recommendations focus on the existing Use and Management Plan (report R-84-37 and memorandum M-84-72) and on proposed new use and management recommendations for the coming year. A. Access and Circulation Primary access to the Preserve is from the parking area on Monte Bello Road adjacent to the winery complex. The parking area was originally designed to accommodate 10 to 12 vehicles, but was later expanded to accommodate 45 vehicles by the removal of coyote brush. The lot and driveway were recently surfaced with baserock. The secondary access to the Preserve, via a hiking stile on Stevens Canyon Road opposite Stevens Creek Reservoir, continues to be impacted by a landslide which first occurred in early 1983. Efforts by the Santa Clara County Department of Transportation have not stabilized the slide, and baserock is still piled in front of the stile interfering with the access from this point. R-85-51 Page three Existing Use and Management Plan 1. Staff should work with Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department and local equestrian enthusiasts to align an equestrian/hiking trail connecting the Picchetti Ranch Area to the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve through the former Consigny property and lower Stevens Creek County Park. Status : Staff members, assisted by members of the Midpeninsula Trails Council , have investigated several potential align- ments for a hiking and equestrian trail between the Picchetti Ranch Area and Fremont Older Open Space Preserve. Staff has contacted Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation staff and will continue to encourage the Midpeninsula Trails Council to work with the County Parks and Recreation Department in seeking the necessary permission to construct and/or open equestrian trails in the park. The proposed connecting trail through the former Consigny property to the Brooks trail easement near Fremont Older is estimated to cost $1500. If negotiations with the County are successful, funding will be included in fiscal year 1986-1987 budget preparation. 2 . The patrol road accessing the southern portion of the site will be improved for year round use. Status : Annual maintenance of the road is estimated at $250 with funding included in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget, and the work is scheduled for completion in the spring. 3. The hiking stile entrance from Stevens Canyon Road is in need of repair as a result of Santa Clara County Transpor- tation efforts to correct landslide damage to the road. Railroad tie steps will be constructed up the bank to the stile. Status: The stile entrance should be repaired upon completion of the roadwork by the County Department of Transportation in front of the stile. Roadwork repairs are estimated to be completed by the end of this year, and cost of adding railroad tie steps is estimated at $185. Funding was in- cluded in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget preparation. 4. The trail from the hairpin turn is in need of corrective erosion measures prior to the winter storms. Status: Funding for this project was carried over to fiscal year 1985-1986. Work is scheduled for completion prior to the winter rains. 5. The existing trail network has a number of excessively steep areas and plans will be made to realign these sections. Status: Realignment has been a low priority, given priorities in the Relative Site Emphasis Plan; however, an effort will be made in the coming year to complete this project. B. Signing Existing Use and Management Plan 1. Trail signing on the remainder of the Preserve, including the signing of the proposed trail through the former Con- signy property, will be completed. R-85-51 (Meeting 85-29 October 23, 1985) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT REPORT October 15 , 1985 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; M. Gundert, Associate Open Space Planner SUBJECT: Review of the Use and Management Plan for the Picchetti Ranch Area of Monte Bello Open Space Preserve Introduction: The last Use and Management review for the Picchetti Ranch Area occurred at your August 8, 1984 meeting (see report R-84-37, dated August 1, 1984) . Final adoption of the plan occurred at your August 22, 1984 meeting (see memorandum M-84-72, dated August 14 , 1984) . I. Site Description and Use A site description of the Picchetti Ranch Area was included in the report presented at your June 22 , 1983 meeting (see report R-83-28, dated June 15, 1983) . There have been no property additions to the Preserve since the last review. The implementation of the Picchetti Ranch Area Historic Restoration Lease continues to be the primary activity on the property. The leaseholders received their use permit from Santa Clara County in the summer of 1984 and immediately opened the winery for tasting two days per week. Tasting hours were extended to three days per week in the spring. In addition to the normal hours of operation, several special events have been held at the winery including a Peninsula Conservation Center fundraiser attended by approximately 150 people. Use of the Preserve tends to revolve around the winery with the majority of visitors planning their stop at the Preserve primarily for the wine tasting. A September article on the Picchetti Ranch Area and Sunrise Winery in Sunset magazine helped to make people aware of the happenings on the Preserve and use has increased as a result. Uses include picnicking, wine tasting, hiking, and horse- back riding as the favored activities. Restoration efforts have centered around the main winery building where a concrete floor was recently installed in the cellar and the winery operation moved in. The cellar is currently serving as the tasting room as well until the rebuilt windows can be installed on the building. Around the remainder of the site, water tanks for fire suppression were buried last fall and a two-phase septic system has been approved by the County and is planned for instal- lation this winter. This will include more permanent toilet facilities for the visiting public. Work has also continued on M-85-154 Page two docents with five and ten year pins . Some budgeted funds have been made available to the docent program, including funds this year for some interpretation and teaching aids . Funds could be allocated to support any or all of the recommendations , although costs are anticipated to be minimal. Recommendation: I recommend that you review, discuss, amend as appropriate, and approve some or all of the following methods for honoring District docents : 1) Give speech (es) of appreciation for docents at the annual Spring Gathering or Fall Big Meeting by one or more of the Directors. 2) Schedule docent trainees to attend a Board Meeting to observe the process and to be introduced to and welcomed by the Board. 3) Send letters of appreciation to active docents signed by the Board President or by the Board Member who represents the docent 's ward and send annually. 4) Award certificates which show the number of years of active volunteer service and present at a Board Meeting or at the Spring Gathering. 5) Present Five and Ten Year District recognition pins to long-time active docents , and continue to award special coffee mugs to docents who are active one year with District programs .

It is not. The signs are currently on order and will be installed as soon as possible. Funding in the amount of $350 was in- cluded in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget preparation. Signing of the proposed trail on the former Consigny property will be coordinated with that trail development. Use and Management Plan Addition 1. A new site identification sign will be installed at the entrance to the parking area on Monte Bello Road. The sign should be compatible with signing to the winery and other District site identification signs. Cost is estimated at $1000 with funding not originally included in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget preparation. However, funds will now be made available to complete this project jointly with the winery tenants, as it has become a high priority project. C. Brochure A folded brochure and map is available on-site or through the District office upon request. D. Structures and Improvements Existing Use and Management Plan 1. The leaseholder should provide drinking water and restrooms that are accessible and open to the general public during the times the building area is open. Status : The leaseholders have provided drinking water, picnic tables, and restroom facilities since the opening to public wine tasting. They are planning to install perma- nent restroom facilities in the old barn later this fall pending completion of the septic system. 2. The fencing and equestrian stile at the hairpin turn on Monte Bello Road should be improved and an equestrian/hiking stile installed. Status: The project is scheduled for completion this winter. Materials for the project are in stock. 3. A horse hitching post will be added as a provision in the vineyard lease negotiations. Status : The 40 acre vineyard lease has yet to be negotiated. 4. A pipe gate will be installed at the parking area entrance to replace the existing chain link gate. Status : The pipe gate was installed in October, 1984 . 5. The dilapidated fencing surrounding the reservoir will be removed. other fencing located around the site will be removed as time permits. Status : The fencing is still in place, but will be removed in conjunction with the hairpin turn fencing and stile construction this winter. E.

Gun club noise continues to this date and has in fact increased due to the lowering of a hill in the Stevens Creek Quarry which acted as a noise buffer between the gun club and the Picchetti Ranch Area owned by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. I have attached a map showing the preserves affected by this noise and a recent petition sent to me by users of the preserve, which was circulated at the Picchetti Winery by the Ronald Stortzes , our tenant . I would urge you to consider the impact the gun club has on the users not only of the District preserves , but also adjacent County* park lands , where a quiet, natural experience is sought . We stand ready to continue working on a solution to curbing the gun club noise, but continued renewal of the use permit to the club must be based on noticeable progress in this regard. This to date has not occurred. /�, Very, truly yOurs , David Wm. Hansen, Land Manager cc : Monte Bello Road Neighbors Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club Attach. it Herbert A-nr—h R-85-51 Page five vegetation around the building area should continue. Fire protection measures within the leasehold area should be conducted by the lessee. Status: Discing of the fire breaks around the property was performed in the spring. Cost of discing this spring is estimated at $650 with funding included in the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget preparation. The leasehold area has been kept mowed throughout the summer months by the lessee, and a small sprinkler system has been installed as well. 2. The 3 acre vineyard should be leased to the winery tenant on a month-to-month basis until such time as an overall vineyard lease is negotiated. The total area to be con- sidered for vineyard lease should not exceed 43 acres. Status : The 3 acre vineyard was leased to the winery tenant on an 'annual basis. The 3 acre area will be incorporated into the vineyard lease area if negotiations are successful. 3. The new lease area bypass trail crosses an existing trail near the rear of the winery building. To alleviate confusion in the future, the old trail will be seeded with native grasses. Seed mix for the project is in stock. Status: The old trail reseeded naturally and no reseeding was felt necessary at this time. F. Visitor and Site Protection Along with the District Ranger staff' s regular patrol of the site, the lessee provides a presence and is responsible for opening and closing the gate to the parking area each day. This has helped keep site problems to a minimum and aided greatly in requiring minimal Ranger staff presence. G. Additional Recommendations 1. A lease will be executed to allow the Crippled Children' s Society of Santa Clara County to utilize a portion of the Picchetti Ranch Area as a riding ring. The lease will be for a one year period and be limited to a maximum of four horses at any one time. District staff will have site and design review for a temporary shelter and hitching post that may be constructed, and the general public will continue to use the area. Status: The one year term lease was approved at your July 25, 1984 meeting. The Crippled Children' s Society did not pursue the continuation of the lease this year, but will return with a lease request once the policies and procedures for considering special uses and improvements on MROSD lands has been reviewed and approved by you. IV. Dedication Status The 307 acre Picchetti Ranch Area is dedicated public open space. The 40 acre former McCone parcel should remain undedicated to allow for possible land exchanges in conjunction with County park acquisitions in this area. The remaining 26 acre former Melton and Collins properties should continue to be withheld from dedication since the parcels constitute an `isolated site with no public access. Recommendation: T recommend that you tentatively adopt the Use and Management. Plan for the Picchetti Ranch Area as contained in this report.

Aff October 23 , 1985) 1 or MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT I MEMORANDUM October 2 , 1985 I TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager I RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; J. Nicholas , Coordinator of Volunteer Programs I SUBJECT: Proposals for the Board of Directors Recognition of the Work of District Docents Introduction: Volunteers continue to provide special services to the District , and periodically you have taken the opportunity to express your appreciation for the efforts of volunteers . This report focuses on ways in which you can continue to give recognition to work done by the District docents in particular. Discussion: For several years , the Board hosted a picnic on a preserve following the "graduation hike" of the docent trainees class . The new docents were awarded their name pins , veteran docents were invited to attend the party, and all docents , new and old, were thanked for their volunteer efforts by several Directors representing the Board , with the Board providing beverages and snacks. This has been a very nice event, and the new docents have thoroughly enjoyed it, but in 1983 and again in 1984 , a very small percentage of the veteran docents attended, and few Board members were able to attend. This spring, new approaches were tried. Board President Teena Henshaw was invited to attend the Docent Spring Gathering, an evening pot-luck dinner. She was the featured speaker and included a message of appre- ciation from the Board to the active docents. Secondly, the new trainees were scheduled to attend a Board meeting as a part of the docent training course to learn how a District Board of Directors meeting is conducted and to be introduced to and welcomed by the Board. Both of these events proved to be very successful and well attended, and the response of the docents who participated was enthusiastic. These two methods should be utilized again to offer the Board oppor- tunities to recognize the docents ' efforts . In 1984 special coffee mugs were ordered to be given to docents who have been active one year. The docents seem to be delighted to receive them; therefore , this practice should continue as well. Staff also hopes the mugs serve to remind the docents to continue to volunteer! Other ways for the Board to give recognition to docents which could be considered are : 1) the sending of letters of appreciation to active docents from the Board; 2) presenting certificates at a Board Meeting or at the Spring Gathering; and 3) honoring long-time active Mo./Yr.

Grench, General Manager RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; A. Cummings, Environmental Analyst SUBJECT: Proposed Historic Preservation Grant Application for Picchetti Ranch Introduction: The Picchetti Brothers Winery has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and, thus, is eligible for an Historic Preservation Grant from the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) . These grants are designed to help preserve California' s historic properties and provide up to ninety per cent of the project cost, with the grant recipient responsible for the remainder. Projects eligible for funding include develop- ment projects to protect, stabilize, rehabilitate, or restore historic properties. The $10 million total historic preservation allocation from the California Park and Recreational Facilities Act of 1984 was divided into three annual portions: $4 million distributed July 1, 1985 and $3 million for each of the next two fiscal years. Applications are due November 1, 1985 for funds to be allocated July 1, 1986 . An historic structure report prepared by licensed architects ex- perienced in historic preservations is required for OHP review of plans before construction can begin. Project work must be completed by June 30, 1991. Last year the average grant awarded was $94 , 000 with only one grant exceeding $150, 000. Projects will be ranked according to the following criteria: signi- ficance of property, proposed project scope, administrative ability, benefit to community and preservation field, and community support. Discussion: The District leased the Picchetti Winery to Ronald and Rolayne Stortz for a period of 25 years, beginning in November 1982. Under the terms of the lease, the Stortzes agreed to rehabilitate the buildings and immediate surroundings to a reasonably accurate historic condition according to a timetable suecified in the lease. The lease states that the District will cooperate with the lessees in the event they apply for grant funds to restore the property. The Stortzes plan to apply for an Historic Preservation Grant to stabilize and rehabilitate the exteriors of the buildings in the winery area. Attached is their list of anticipated work together with estimated costs. The total project amount is $289,080. M-85-161 Page two The Stortzes would be responsible for the $28, 908 matching amount (100 of the total project cost) . Staff recommends that the Stortzes lower the proposed funding requested to approximately $100, 000 to have a more realistic chance of receiving the State funds. Recommendation: I recommend that you adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving the Application and the Project Agreement for Historic Preservation Grant Funds for the Picchetti Brothers Winery Rehabilitation Project from the California Park and Recreational Facilities Act of 1984 . 1 also recommend that you encourage the Stortzes to consider a lower funding request than that proposed in the application.

M-85-155 (Meeting 85-29 October 23, 1985) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM October 11, 1985 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT: Proposed Annexation of Los Gatos Creek Park to Town of Los Gatos Introduction: In September 1984 the District, Town of Los Gatos and the California Province of the Society of Jesus (CPSJ) reached agreement for the sale of 170 acres of land in fee title, which is unofficially called Los Gatos Creek Park, and an open space easement over an additional 94 acres (see attached map) . The a Joint Powers Agreement between the District and Town stipulated that the Town would forthwith seek to annex the fee title area so as to be able to provide both police response in on-site emergencies and also perimeter patrol of the Park. The three- way agreement between the Town, District, and CPSJ also contem- plated immediate annexation of the fee conveyance area. Discussion: I have been contacted by the Town, which is now ready to commence annexation procedures and would like District consent so that the annexation could be carried out under the 100% consent procedure of the Local Agency Formation Commission. I am told that no other property is being requested for annexation at this time. Recommendation: I recommend that you authorize the General Manager to give consent on behalf of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space 1 acres District to the proposed annexation of the approximately 70 P P of District land called Los Gatos Creek Park. �.sl •s � .. -." i T t!s;�1�I�`CI�� ,!,, , _ s�� •s s s , :�r r A Ir�s R. �ar i p i i�Y�' �; 1,• •��•.��1�/� I\ � 1 I C.� ]] r� ,�i��%'..

He has enjoyed working with POST , and the Board of Tuustees has greatly appreciated his presence and his efforts. Attached is an article about him from the Summer 1985 issue of Landscapes . In the past the District's President has asked for concurrence from the District ' s Board regarding appointments to the POST Board. A change to your Rules of Procedure you have asked to be drafted calls for the President to appoint, with Board consent, to non-District bodies , in accordance with past practice. President Henshaw requests your concurrence in this appointment. Recommendation: Your action would be to consent to President Henshaw' s reappointment of Vince Garrod to the POST Board of Trustees for a three year term commencing in January 1986 when his current term expires.

The project will take five years to complete. a habitat as one is likely to find. After years of misuse and Funding and implementation will be shared by many neglect, the 640 acre, state-owned marsh is being restored agencies,primarily the State Coastal Conservancy and under a program initiated by the Sequoia Audubon Society the State Department of Parks and Recreation.Faith in and POST. John Wade is coordinator for the project. POST's fiscal integrity and Wade's management skills "Diffusion of responsibility has prevented effective action in has persuaded agencies as well as individuals to get the past,"says Wade.Scores of meetings with everyone hav- involved. ing an interest in the marsh resulted in a consensus on general goals for the project—to protect and restore the marsh, to prevent flooding, to protect prime agricultural land and to provide greater public access. Wade sees his role as that of "holding the consensus together." � '' Public access -- — Tasks already begun include improvements to trails. In March, the California Conservation Corps restored existing 4'rvo " trails. Representatives from Sequoia Audubon, POST and State Parks met to choose routes for new trails,which will be cleared in the fall. Sequoia Audubon is underwriting the cost of printing a docent handbook for the marsh. Interpretive literature pre- pared by State Parks for self-guided visits will be available soon at the marsh trailhead. "The new trails will be very sensitively placed," declares \ POST Advisory Council member Dr. William H. Clark. An avid birder, Clark is pleased to see the marsh become a ' sanctuary and study site. Clark has been an enthusiastic volunteer in planning the new trails.He has visited the marsh rJ *�� ✓ regularly for 15 years and looks forward to construction of blinds for viewing birds. ri Though an interpretive center at Pescadero Marsh is a row "4s !r s�.yfn possibility, the center would be among the costliest and last items to be funded. MW Hydrological considerations The old Highway 1 bridge over the mouth of the marsh is Sheldon Woodward scheduled to be replaced by Caltrans in 1986.Wade and others continued I hope Caltrans will take advantage of current hydrology studies to build a structure that will not obstruct water flow.Rick Baird and Cliff Richer of Sequoia Audubon and Wade are united on the desirability of having Caltrans remove all of the old bridge. The agency has shown some reluctance to do so and may need public pressure before agreeing to clear the entire ` structure. State Parks has appropriated $300,000 for dredging and levee improvements along the Pescadero Creek floodway. Wade expects additional funds from Propositions 18 and 19 to be available in future years to continue the work of restoring Melvin Lane, Robert Augsburger and William Lane congratulate the marsh to a more natural system.

Grench, General Manager SUBJECT : Proposed Minor Change in Public Resources Code Introduction: Section 5552 of the Public Resources Code states that "The board of directors shall by ordinance authorize signatories for checks or warrants drawn in payment of obligations and demands against the district. Authorized signatories shall be selected from members of the board of directors of the district, the general manager of the district, the administrative secretary, or such other officers and employees as may be designated by the board. " (Emphasis added. ) The Board has authorized by published ordinance a designated list of officers by title. At least once a year when new officers are elected, the Board adopts resolutions (the normal form of authorization required by banks) which authorize and contain the signatures of those persons holding the ordinance-designated offices . Each resolution cites the authority under the ordinance. Review of the sequence of events back in the early days of the District leads me to believe that this pro- cedure was intentional and thought to be valid. If, as District Legal Counsel has recently pointed out, "signatories" is interpreted to in- clude or specifically mean the actual signatures , then the District argu- ably might not be in compliance with Sec. 5552 of the Public Resources Code. It saves publication costs and staff time if resolutions rather than published ordinances are used. Discussion : The following minor "housekeeping" change to Sec. 5552 would allow us to continue our past practice and feel perfectly comfortable that we are in technical compliance with the Code. § 5552.

I have written to the other regional park and open space districts, and no objection to the proposed change has been raised. In fact, David Pesonen, the new General Manager of the East Bay Regional Park District expressed his willingness to help us get the change made. Ralph Heim, our Legislative Advocate in Sacramento, feels that the most con- venient vehicle for the amendment would be a general local government clean-up bill Senator Marks is carrying. Recommendation: I recommend that you approve inclusion of this amend- ment in your current Legislative Program with a "B" priority. At its meeting of September 11 , 1985, which was noticed as a public meeting, the Legislative Committee considered this matter and decided to support the proposed amendment. The Committee agreed that it was not worth a special bill to clarify the procedure. M-85-151 (Meeting 85-29 low October 23 , 1985) MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT MEMORANDUM October 2 , 1985 TO: Board of Directors FROM: H. Grench, General Manager SUBJECT : Proposed Expanded Planning Process for the Hassler Property Introduction: For some time now I have been giving thought to the planning process for the Hassler property. The attached Proposed Planning Process for the Hassler Property outlines what I have in mind, at least as a starting point for your discussion. The heart of the proposal involves expanding the District ' s planning process through formation of a Public Advisory Committee to aid a planning consultant in preparing a plan for your consideration. The make-up of this Committee is just one aspect of the proposal that is cer- tainly open to discussion and revision. Recommendation: I recommend that you review and discuss the attached Proposed Planning Process for the Hassler Property and give direction as to changes , if any , you would like made. There is no tight time deadline for coming to a final decision, and you may wish to take two or three meetings discussing it. However, since staff had intended to start the normal planning process earl P g P Y in 1986 , and since it will take time to select a consultant, a decision by the end of November would be helpful in order to expedite either planning process . I I I " M-85-151 Page two PROPOSED PLANNING PROCESS FOR THE HASSLER PROPERTY I . Purpose: Develop a Use and Management Plan for the Hassler roperty. II. History: The Hassler site has a unique history with the District, involving unprecedented public support for the acquisition, a very difficult acquisition process, and a proposal for use of the buildings that was the most politically difficult proposal to evaluate and act upon in the District' s history. It is in the context of this history that planning will occur. III . Current Planning Status : At the time of acquisition, the Board of Directors adopted an Interim Use and Management Plan that allows public access (but not promotion of site use) when the buildings and appurtenances are removed. The buildings have been removed, and the regraded area will be seeded. When the seeding is completed and two storage tanks are removed, the site will be open to the public, but access will be hampered by lack of parking and a confusing entrance situation. Site opening is expected to occur in late October. The existing trail system can be marked, and other signing can be provided to make the site as accessible and usable as possible during preparation of the plan. The Initial Use and Management Plan is currently scheduled to be developed by staff in early 1986 with at least one public workshop. It is an expansion of this normal planning process that is the subject of the present proposal. IV. Reasons for Special Study:. The Hassler site is the closest District hillside preserve to the District' s population center in San Mateo County. Public transportation runs close to this Preserve. Edgewood County Park is just across the road, affording opportunities for trail linkages, joint patrol, and planning of complementary site uses. In order for the site to be utilized optimally, a number of access, parking, patrol , wildfire prevention, and adjoining use conflict problems need to be solved. Although the site has been envisioned to be of low key recrea- tional character which emphasizes hiking and nature study in a natural setting, the problem solving and site use opportunities in the context of the history of the property merit special. atten- tion and broad public involvement.

First let me thank you for your letter which offers constructive solutions along with your apprehensions. It is not often that we get such letters. Regarding your concerns with the proposed parking area, it is just that - a proposed parking area which may or may not be sited on the flat area adjacent to yours and Ms. Varela's houses, Our general planning studies have shown that the Bohl.man Road area offers the best opportunity for public access to the E1 Sereno Preserve, but before -ny specific major improvements such as parking areas, large signing, or improving patrol and the access roads have been implemented, a more extensive planning process will commence. This will include not only a local neighborhood public workshop to gather input such as you outline in your letter, but at least two public hearings before our Board of Directors on the matter. Individual comment is also welcomed at any time. The timing for commencing the planning for consideration of improvements in the Bohlnlan Road area is unclear at this time, as El Sereno is fairly low on our Site Emphasis Plan. This plan is the priority guideline for commencing public improvements on all District sites. I can only tell you that the current site use and management plan will be reviewed by our Board next year, as they do every other year on this preserve. You will be informed of those hearings and the items contained in your letter will be considered at that time as well. Our rangers will continue to patrol the site as they have in the past, some work will possibly be done to alleviate the erosion you mention, and the entry gate area and boundary signing will be improved. We look forward to a neighborly relationship with you and others in the Bohlmtan Road area and look forward to working with you when major planning commences or interim problems occur. Please call me or Del Woods, our Open Space Planner, if you have further inquiries and please let any other concerned neighbors know our plans when you can. / ery truly yours, r� t� vid Win.

Another small matter has arisen which I hope you can change for us, or forward to the appropriate department. Our office has been receiving agendas of your meetings, addressed to Richard Golden at 307 Second Avenue, San Mateo, California 94402. Mr. Golden is no longer associated with our firm and our firm, the Law Offices of Michael B. Allen, recently moved to 330 Primrose Road, Suite 400, Burlingame, California 94010. We would appreciate a correction of your mailing list, deleting Mr. Golden's mailing to the San Mateo address and adding our firm's mailing to the Burlingame address. I do not know if any balance remains in our account to cover the mailing costs. If you require any additional monies to continue our subscription, please advise. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter . Very t my yours, LZNAZ.
