Dear MROSD Board of Directors,
I am writing in favor of allowing public access to the El Sereno
Open Space Preserve at Sheldon Road. Unfortunately, what appears
to be happening is that a few wealthy neighbors on Sheldon Road
are disregarding the public nature of Open Space and threatening
those who seek the peace and quiet of the open space their taxes
pay for.
Surely a compromise can be worked out that still allows those
of us who live amidst buildings to have easy access to nature.
According to the Committee for Open Space Access (COSA) , a desirable
entry point into El Sereno, located less than 500 feet from Sheldon
Road, was rejected by the MROSD. Could you tell me the reason for
this?
I look forward to your reply regarding public access to El Sereno
Open Space and your reasons for rejecting the alternate Sheldon
Road entrance.
Thank you.
i
Sincerely,
Martha Elderon

Introduction
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District currently has the opportunity
to purchase two parcels of land totalling 47 . 3 acres as an addition to La

2 . Location and Boundaries (see attached map)
Regional setting: Unincorporated San Mateo County; approximately 1 . 2
miles south of Sky Londa
Road access : Parcels contain frontage on Skyline Boulevard , Highway 84
(La Honda Road) , and Old La Honda Road.
Boundaries : The smaller of the two parcels ( 3 . 2 acres) forms the
southwest corner of the intersection of Old La Honda Road and Skyline
Boulevard. Old La Honda Road forms the northwesterly boundary of this
parcel for approximately 450 feet , at which point it forms the
southeasterly boundary of the larger parcel (44 . 1 acres) . The larger
parcel extends westerly to Highway 84 (La Honda Road) Private
property forms the remaining boundaries .
Nearby public lands : The larger parcel fronts on La Honda Road
opposite the District ' s 50 foot wide easement to La Honda Creek Open
Space Preserve . The Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is located
approximately one-quarter mile south of the smaller parcel .
3 . Togq_graphy and Hydrology
Prominent topographic features : An unnamed tributary to La Honda Creek
cuts southwesterly through the center of the larger parcel .
Elevation range : 1 , 740 feet at the Skyline Boulevard boundary to 1 , 240
feet at the creek exit to the property in the western corner.
Slope steepness : Slopes are generally steep to very steep on the
larger parcel . Slopes on the smaller parcel are more moderate .
Slope exposure : Primary west-facing.
Watershed: Slopes drain into La Honda Creek .
4 . Geology _ and :oils
Seismology: Woodhaven Fault is located approximately one-half mile
south
Soil. classification: Hugo and josephine sandy loam, very steep
Soil stability: Very high erosion hazard
Page 3
5. Flora and Fauna

Williamson Act contract in effect.
Master Plan rating: Moderate composite rating
Use and Management Plan review: The Use and Management Plan for La
Honda Creek Open Space Preserve was last reviewed in March, 1988 . The
next review is tentatively scheduled for 1994 .
Regional plans : The proposed Bay Area Ridge Trail Corridor is located
in this area. A connection between La Honda Creek and Windy Hill Open
Space Preserves through this property could facilitate the Bay Area
Ridge Trail .
10 . Potential Use and Management
The potential trail alignment for the Bay Area Ridge Trail to link Windy
Hill and La Honda Creek Open Space Preserves is a difficult one , due
primarily to the steep terrain in this area and the difficulty of
crossing La Honda Road (Highway 84) . This property lies within the
corridor containing the trail route , as identified by the Bay Area Ridge
Trail Council . The property could be developed to contain the Bay Area
Ridge Trail .

property if the District is not successful in acquiring other
necessary land in the area.
15 . Terms
The County of Santa Clara , through the Assessor ' s Office , has set a
minimum bid of $2 , 500 . 00 for this parcel . The normal auction process

Acquisition staff feels the price set by the Assessor ' s Office is fair
and reasonable .

Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Electing to Purchase a Tax
Deeded Parcel (Santa Clara County Assessor ' s Parcel Number 562-09-
018) .

Introduction
The proposed 41 . 7-acre acquisition is a tax-defaulted parcel located on
the top and southeast side of a prominent ridge south of Mt . Thayer. it
is surrounded on three sides by District lands . The property is remote
and undeveloped, with no direct road access . It is cut by a tributary to
Austrian Gulch, and contains a mature stand of Douglas fir as well as
chaparral communities . The primary use of the land would be as watershed
protection, wildlife habitat , and viewshed. A road between Mt. Umunhum
and Austrian Gulch, included in the Santa Clara County Trails and Pathways
plan, passes close to the northeastern corner .
R-91-21 Page 2
1 . Property Identif_icat on
Property owner: Santa Clara County (tax defaulted)
Size : 41 . 70 acres
2 . Location and Boundaries (see attached map)
Regional setting: Ridge south of Mt . Thayer between Hooker Gulch and
Austrian Gulch
Road access : No present road access . The closest access point is
the water supply road connecting Mt. Umunhum with Austrian Gulch.
This road was damaged in the Lexington fire in 1985 . It is included
as a potential trail route in the Santa Clara County Trails and
Pathways plan.
'Dins the eastern boundary; District
Boundaries : Private property add y
land on the remaining three sides
Nearby public lands : Cathedral Oaks Area of Sierra Azul Open Space
of the Lexington Reservoir
three sidesproperty. g
Preserve surrounds
County Park lies approximately four miles to the northwest .
Nearby landmarks : Mt . Thayer (3 , 483 feet) lies one half of a mile to
the north; Mt . Umunhum (3 , 486 feet) is located three fourths of a
mile to the northeast .
3 . T+ p_q_gr,aohv and__4ydrol9gy
Prominent topographic features: Located on east side of ridge south
of Mt. Thayer; irregular topography dominated by two knolls on the
northwest and southwest corners ; saddle between the knolls lies
approximately in the middle of the western boundary; canyon formed by
tributary to Austrian mulch cuts through property from northwest to
southeast.
Elevation range: 2 , 460 feet near the southeast corner to 2 , 860 feet
on the northwest knoll
Slope steepness : Relatively gentle terrain on and between highest
knolls ; steep slopes on rest of property
Slope exposure : Canyon opens to the southeast; primarily south and
north-facing slopes
Watershed: Headwaters of the west branch of the northernmost
R-91-21 Page 3
tributary to Austrian Gulch. Austrian Gulch drains into Lake Elsman,
which feeds into Los Gatos Creek and Lexington Reservoir.
4 . Geologyand Soils
Seismology: San Andreas Fault Zone and the Sargent Fault located in
Los Gatos Creek Canyon approximately two miles to the southwest
Soil classification: Los Gatos-Maymen, considered highly erodible
Soil stability: Steep slopes have high erosion potential
5 . Flora and Fauna
Plant communities : It was not possible to visit as yet the property
due to the lack of road or trail access . Viewed through binoculars
from Mt . Umunhum Road, the property appeared to be untouched by the
Lexington fire of 1985 . Tall firs and some scattered knobcone pines
fill the tributary creek drainage. South-facing slopes support a
dense chaparral community.
Dominant flora: Chaparral community dominated by manzanita.
Commonly associated species include chamise , buckbrush, scrub oak,
toyon, coffeeberry and coyote brush.
Common fauna: Common mammals in chaparral communities include deer,
coyote, brush rabbit , dusky footed wood rat and feral pig. The
tributary creek would provide a water source for wildlife , making the
property valuable wildlife habitat in this generally dry area.
6 . Visual Qualities
Viewshed: Sierra Azul ridge to the north and east , Los Gatos Creek
Canyon to the south and west
Vistas : Mt . Thayer and Umunhum to the north and northeast; Loma
Prieta to the southeast; Lake Elsman to the south, and Lexington
Reservoir to the west
7 . Existina Imorovements
None
8 . Existina Use
Vacant land
R-91-21 Page 4
9. Plannina Considerations
Political boundaries : Unincorporated Santa Clara County; within
District boundaries
Zoning: Hillside (requires a 20 to 160-acre minimum lot size
depending on slope)
Master Plan rating: Rated low for composite open space resource
value
Use and Management Plan review: Interim Use and Management Plan will
be reviewed in 1993
Regional plans : Property is near a road proposed as a trail route in
the Santa Clara County Trails and Pathways Plan. The road connects
Mt. Umunhum with Lake Elsman and was used for access to the Almaden
Air Force Base water supply. The property is also in the viewshed of
the proposed Ridge Trail corridor along the ridge of Mt.Umunhum.
10 . Potential Use and Management.
Acquisition of property would help protect Austrian Gulch watershed,
wildlife habitat and viewshed. Nearest access would be from road
proposed as county trail , described above .
11 . Public Safety _Review
A safety inspection has not yet been conducted on the property. Due to
its inaccessibility and lack of development , hazards are not
anticipated. A safety inspection will be performed prior to your
adoption of the Interim Use and Management Plan.
12 . Preliminary Use and Management Recommendations
Since there are no roads and no developed access to the property,
signs and road maintenance are not necessary at this time.
Site Emphasis designation: Conservation Management Unit
13 . Name
The property should be named as an addition to the Cathedral Oaks
Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve .
R-91-21 Page 5
14 . Dedication
i recommend that you withhold the property from dedication as public
open space at this time . This would allow for a trade of development
rights or sale of a portion or all of the property if the District is
not successful in acquiring other necessary land in the area.
District lands adjacent to this property are currently undedicated.
15 . Terms
The County of Santa Clara , through the Assessor ' s Office, has set a
minimum bid of $7 , 000 . 00 for this parcel. The normal auction process
would begin at the established minimum and be sold to the highest
bidder . Under Section 3695 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, any
local taxing agency can acquire the property by submitting a
resolution of election to purchase along with the minimum bid amount .
Acquisition staff feels the price set by the Assessor ' s office is fair
and reasonable.
16 . Funding
The full explanation of this funding summary is contained in report
R-90-33 dated March 5, 1990 .
The District ' s 1990-1991 fiscal year budget includes $15. 4 million for
new open space acquisitions ; $15. 2 million in cash outlay and $0 . 2
million in notes .

REPORT
February 22, 1991
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization of Director Reimbursement for Special
Districts Forum and the California Park and Recreation
Society Meeting
Recommended Actions:
1 . Determine which Directors would like to go to which portions
of the Special Districts Forum and the California Park and
Recreation Society meeting.
2. Authorize reimbursement of registration fees and mileage
expenses.
Discussion•
You have previously been sent information on the April 1 - 4
Special Districts Forum hosted by the East Bay Regional Park
District. Since your January 13 meeting when this was first
discussed, I was able to arrange for shared registrations (pairs of
registrants who would not be at the forum at the same time) . The
registration fee is $175.
The California Park and Recreation Society (CPRS) is meeting this
year in Santa Clara. Fees are $280 for the whole conference or
$200 daily. There are more sessions relevant to the District ' s
program than usual (please see attached program summary) .
Incidentally, I am chairing a session on Friday, March 8 at 3 :10
p.m. on the subject "Dealing with Neighbors - Life Along the Edge. "
Francis Brigman of the Marin Open Space District and David Hansen
are co-panelists .
Sufficient funds remain in the current budget to cover Director
fees and auto mileage reimbursement.

REPORT
February 20, 1991
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: D. Hansen, Land Manager; J. Escobar,
Operations Supervisor; D. Topley,
Supervising Ranger; C. Bruins,
Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Vehicles
Recommended Actions:
1. Approve the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing the
Department of General Services Administration of the State of
California to Purchase Certain Items for the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District.
2. Direct the General Manager to execute a purchase contract with
the State Department of General Services Administration for two
patrol trucks and one multipurpose vehicle at a total cost of
$45,499.58.
Discussion At your March 3, 1990 meeting, in conjunction with the
adoption of the fiscal year 1990-1991 Open Space Management budget
(see report R-90-48) , you approved allocation of $54,000 for the
purchase of three replacement patrol trucks. Two trucks have been
purchased, and $17,000 remains in the budget for the third vehicle and
utility body. The proposed 1991-1992 Open Space Management budget
includes $32, 500 for the purchase of one replacement patrol vehicle
and one new multipurpose vehicle. Budget Committee members have
reviewed these items in the proposed Open Space Management budget.
Delivery dates are anticipated around the beginning of fiscal year
1991-1992.
Purchasing vehicles through General Services Administration results in
a considerable savings to the District. Staff time normally required
to write detailed specifications and conduct the formal bid process is
greatly reduced. GSA fleet purchasing using a statewide bidding
process insures the best possible price. The timing of the annual six
to eight week order period typically results in a purchasing process
that overlaps into the next fiscal year. This reduces the staff time
required by combining what would otherwise be two separate purchases.
