Azul Open Space Preserve. He said that the purchase
price is $65, 000 cash payable at the close of

area and the property, illustrating how a trail
could run through the property, contributing to the
goal of connecting the Cathedral Oaks Area with the
Kennedy Limekiln Area of Sierra Azul Open Space
Preserve . She said that the Preliminary Use and
Management Plan calls for installation of private
property and preserve boundary signs where
appropriate, and designation of the property as a
Conservation Management Unit.
Motion: R. McKibbin moved that the Board adopt
Resolution 91-44 , a Resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District Authorizing
Acceptance of Purchase Agreement,

S . Norton introduced Stephen Casaleggio and David
Oster, specialists in the formation of assessment
Meeting 91-36 Page 3
districts , from the law firm of Jones Hall Hill &
White. S . Casaleggio presented a summary of the
essential steps for setting up a special assessment
district , nothing that the formation of an
assessment district is based on the idea of special
benefit of open space to properties in a defined
area, determined by factors such as proximity and
view. He said that an engineer hired by the
District would provide a report assigning benefit to
each parcel and that the Landscaping and Lighting
Act of 1972 is the law recommended for District use
in the formation of an assessment district. D.
Oster said that a rough figure of 25% to 30% over
the net amount needed for the purchase is used to
estimate financing or incidental cost, including
underwriter ' s fees , capitalized interest, admini-
strative fees, legal fees , engineer ' s payment , and a
reserve fund held for a potential shortfall in
payment by the property owners . D. Oster said that
four or five months are needed to complete all the
steps required for the formation of the district.
In response to questions about the potential total
cost of the bond issue, D. Oster said that it
depended on the term of payback , which for a smaller
issue, could be in the 5 to 7 year range. He said
that the appropriate term and interest rate would be
the judgement of the underwriter.
R. Bishop commented on the high level of community
support during the formation of the special
assessment district to help acquire the former
Hassler Health Home property. He said there had
already been public agreement on the boundaries of
the district, and on having equal assessment for all
neighbors .
H. Grench said he would return to the Board with an
agenda item on this topic for consideration and
action. He said that no Board action was requested
at this time.
Harry Haeussler , 1094 Highland Circle , Los Altos ,
said that he was shocked to learn of the potential
of forming an assessment district to help purchase
the Vidovich property. He questioned what area was
being considered for this assessment district and C .
Britton answered that the district would probably be
between St . Joseph ' s Avenue and Moody Road on the
southerly side of 1-280, approximately 900 lots .
Mr. Haeussler was informed by some members of the
Board that an assessment distinct had been mentioned
during the acquisition hearings .
Susan Smith, 23230 Ravensbury, Los Altos Hills , said
that she felt that the members of the public who
were involved in supporting the Vidovich purchase
realized there would be an assessment district .
Meeting 91-36 Page 4
C. Proposed Seasonal and Interim Trail Closures to
Bicycle and Equestrian Use (Report R-91-134- dated
November 15, 1991)
John Escobar said that there are only minor changes
from last year ' s trail closure report and that staff
was investigating potential closure of the Schilling
Lake access trail to bicycles . H. Grench said that
the items in the written report plus the Schilling
Lake Trail item constitutes the full list .
B . Crowder noted that 1991 should be changed to 1992
under Farm Bypass/Coyote Trail on the table .
No objection was made to the closure plans .
D. Property Tax Allocation from Proposed Central Los
Gatos Redevelopment Project _(Report R-91-136 dated
November 10.,... 1991)
H. Grench explained that to protect the District ,
the Board should pass a resolution that would
guarantee that the District will receive at least a
2% annual increase in the base year share of
property tax collected in the project area. He said
that staff will endeavor to negotiate a more
favorable arrangement for the District.
Motion: R. McKibbin moved that the Board adopt
Resolution 91-45 , a Resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula
Regional Open Space District Electing to
Receive Incremental Property Tax Revenues
as Provided for by Section 33676 of the
California Health and Safety Code . T.
Henshaw seconded the motion. The motion
passed 7 to 0 .

$300 under budget.
N. Hanko showed the November 18 , 1991 issue of Time Magazine

Preserve . She distributed to the Board for comment a letter
to the Time editor describing the foresight of the voters to
preserve the land and encouraging similar actions in other
states .

D. November 20 Workshop Discussion (Report R-91-129 dated November 4, 1991)
H. Grench explained that the workshop was added by the Board to the 1991-1992
Action Plan to allow Board members to be more proactive in formulating
potential projects and activities for the 1992-1993 fiscal year. He said that
as a result of another request by the Board, the management team now has
specific proposals for streamlining various processes because of the time now
required to finalize and begin implementing the Strategic Plan for the
Nineties, staff reorganization, and implementing the organizational
improvement program. He said the Budget Committee has had an opportunity to
review the proposals relating to budget and Action Plan preparation.
i
Meeting 91-35 Page 5
He said the management team
g proposes simplifyiiiy the budget process at least
this year to make it simpler in terms of staff time, preparation, and probably
the length and number of Budget Committee meetings. He said this
simplification involves using the current budget, making modifications for
important items, and putting in some growth factors, for example, in land
management. He said the group proposes a two-year budget process for the
following fiscal years, building from the base with only minor modifications
the second year of the two-year budget cycle.
He said that the management team has developed ideas for streamlining the
Action Plan for this year. He said the primary action for the District this
year is to implement the reorganization, strategic plan, and organizational
improvement plan. He said the management team proposes carrying over this
year's Action Plan into the new year. He said the management team recommends
working with the Budget Committee to identify the main items that would change
from 1991-1992 as part of the budget process rather than as part of an Action
Plan process and bring the main items to the Board's attention in connection
with the budget.
N. Hanko expressed concern regarding whether the Board would have the
opportunity to review new action items. H. Grench confirmed that new items
will be identified by staff and the Budget Committee and would then be
presented to the Board as part of the budget approval process. T. Henshaw
said she had hoped to change the whole Action Plan procedure and that she is
opposed to the time staff was putting into developing an Action Plan before
the Board could provide input. She said the Board has been giving input on
the Strategic Plan for the Nineties and that is the appropriate place to give
input at this time. She added that if the same Action Plan is used for the
coming fiscal year Board members should study it to make certain it contains
what the Board wants.
B. Crowder asked about the timing for presenting the new action items. H.
Grench said the Budget Committee starts meeting about the third or fourth week
in January and staff will have started on the budget preparation process by
then.
H Grench reiterated that the proposal is to continue to complete the current
Action Plan, plus work on additional items that will be identified in the
budget but which will not be put into an Action Plan document.
N. Hanko asked if there may be items in the Action Plan that the Board does
not want continued. H. Grench suggested that Board members consider the
current Action Plan individually and bring up at a Board meeting the items
that are questionable or should be deleted. He added that this should be done
within the next month before the budget building process is too far along.
R. McKibbin asked about the process to incorporate Strategic Plan ideas into
the 1992-1993 Action Plan, saying that there is a need to tie ideas from the
Strategic Plan into the 1992-1993 Action Plan. H. Grench responded it would
be accomplished through the budget process and amending the budget.
K. Duffy expressed concern about considering the Action Plan in any way since
the focus is presently on reorganization and restructuring. She proposed that
considering a new Action Plan after those priorities are completed, perhaps as
a mid-year review if progress on reorganization and restructuring are far
enough along. N. Hanko and T. Henshaw stated their agreement.

N. Hanko reported that she and H. Grench attended the Palo Alto City Council
meeting in which they proposed a joint trails project from the Arastradero
Creek Preserve to Los Tracos Open Space Preserve as part of the District's
20th anniversary celebration next year and the City's 100th anniversary in two
years. She said the city has not decided whether to put funding into the
project. C. Britton noted that, in his opinion, a Land and Water Conservation
Fund grant proposal will not have a good chance for funding, although plans
are to submit one. He said the District will have a competing grant proposal
for Windy Hill Open Space Preserve.
N. Hanko said the Public Communications Workshop Committee is writing a
summary report and asked if the Board wants the committee to make
recommendations based on its findings. K. Duffy, R. Bishop, and T. Henshaw
said it would be helpful.

District position has not chan

Dear Mr. Haeussler:
Thank you for your November 20, 1991 letter regarding District trail signs. The
District's Board of Directors reviewed your comments at our Regular Meeting last
night. We are aware that some of our trail signs could be improved. The
District has grown rapidly, with over 200 miles of trails to manage. We have
formed a committee to examine problem areas and develop sign standards. our
new trail signs are metal instead of wood. These signs are being posted where
horses, dogs, and bicycles are prohibited.
The District's ultimate goal is to post trail distances on all of our signs. This
will be accomplished as time permits. We are looking for volunteer hikers to
assist with measuring trail distances. if you are interested. or know anyone
who could help, please contact our volunteer coordinator.
Your comments will be forwarded to our sign committee.
Regarding your second letter, we will address your concerns when considering
the sound system for our new office building.
Sincerely,
Nanette Hanko, President
Board of Directors

This is in regards to "signing" of trails.
Your desire to make the signs unobtrusive has led their not
being seen - equestrians go where prohibited, bicycle
riders go where prohibited, and other violations occur
quite frequently. All mainly because your signs are
"unobtrusive" . Granted, no one wants the trails to look
like freeways with signs for this that and the other.
However, common sense should guide the placement of signs at
trail heads where certain activities are prohibited. Signs
should be high enough to be seen by everyone, on foot or
horseback. Also, high enough so they are not hidden by grass
or weeds.
At each trail connection, there should be sign indication
which trail is which, and the distance to the next junction
or connection, and perhaps the distance to the entrances of
the preserve via the various trails.
An example of poor marking distances is the sign at the
point where Hamms Gulch Trail departs down from Lost Trail
in Windy HIll Preserve. one sign says 7. 2 miles loop via
Hamms Gulch and 7.6 miles via Razorback. Where are the
loops? Which trails does one follow? Where does one end up?
Rangers complain that signs are removed and thrown down the
hill" . It is no wonder as they are somewhat flimsy and•
easily kicked off the posts. Mounted at a height of four
feet, Et would be difficult for the booted person to kick
off the sign, they would have more difficulty tearing it off
with their hands, or using a rock.
I suggest more visible and stouter signs at a higher level
at trail heads where access is prohibited to some.

Dear Ms . Santeramo:
The District ' s Board of Directors received your letter regarding
potential residential development of "Devils Canyon" in San Mateo
County . The District ' s adjoining Long Ridge Open Space Preserve ,
containing over 900 acres , is tranquil and very popular with
local hikers . The District is extremely interested in protecting
the integrity and scenic beauty of the surrounding area, and we
recognize that Devils Canyon itself is geologically unique. In
fact , District rangers are often involved in rescue operations in
this area.
This property would certainly be a desirable addition to the Long
Ridge Open Space Preserve . You can be assured that the District
will be watching this property relative to ownership changes and
development pressures .
Thank you for your interest in the District and its open space
progran.
Sincerely ,

At the October 9, 1991, meeting is my hurried perusal of the
Vidovich purchase and my hearing impairment, I failed to
note or hear the assessment district matter. After review
of the documents and the minutes of the meeting, I find that
this matter was discussed. I regret my error.
I feel the matter of an assessment district should be left
to the local community or communities involved.
From the discussion at the last meeting, it appears that no
matter what the popular feeling against the formation of an
assessment district might be, the board of directors can
override a disapproving majority and form such a district.
Though this is not a TAX, it appears to be taxation without
representation. Not a single board member lives within the
proposed assessment district.
I urge you not to proceed with MROSD forming an assessment
district, but put the matter in the hands of the communities
involved and let them work out the problem.

Your pamphlet "Sharing the Trails" is an excellent addition
to your publications. However, I would like to suggest that
you put a date of publication on it so that when it is
revised it will be easy to tell if one is reading the
current issue, or an older one.
I also suggest that the same information as in the "Sharing
the Trail" be printed on the reverse side of your preserve
maps in as much as many are still on plain paper. Even
when fancy maps are finally printed, the same information
could be included on the reverse side.

REPORT
December 4 , 1991
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: C. Britton, Assistant General Manager
RESPONSIBILITY AND PREPARATION: A. Cummings, Environmental
Analyst
SUBJECT: Land and Water Conservation Fund Application for the
Windy Hill Public Access Project
Recommended _Action:
Adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving the
Application for Land and Water Conservation Funds for the Windy
Hill Public Access Project
Introduction
The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a federal grant
program administered in California by the State Department of
Parks and Recreation. The fund assists agencies in acquiring and
developing parks for public recreation purposes. It is a
competitive program guided by specific criteria. A minimum of
$320, 000 is available for public agency projects in Northern
California for the 1991-92 grant program; more may be available
from reapportionment of funds. Applications must be submitted by
December 20, 1991. The deadline was moved up this year to advise
Congress during their budget deliberations of high priority
projects that could be funded if adequate funding is provided to
the state ' s LWCF program.
Over the years , this program's available funds have been
significantly reduced, increasing the competitiveness of the
program. Only projects reflecting the highest priorities
identified in the program' s criteria have been funded. The top
priority activities include walking, picnicking, bicycling,
nature study, and bird watching. Acquisition projects , except for
priority wetlands , are rated lower than development projects.
Combined acquisition and development projects are not eligible
for funding. Support facilities, such as parking areas,
restrooms and undergrounding of utilities , are given 50% of the
priority rating of the activity they support. However, support
facilities essential for public access to natural resource areas
are given full credit.
The LWCF program requires a 50% matching contribution. If a
grant is funded, the District is expected to fund the entire
R-91-141 Page 2
project amount. Fifty percent of the project amount will be
reimbursed upon completion. The Windy Hill Public Access Project
has a total cost of $260, 000 (excluding $200, 000 for
undergrounding utilities) ; the amount requested is $130 , 000. The
undergrounding of the utilities, required by the Town of Portola
Valley as a condition for this project and projected to cost
approximately $200, 000, was not included as part of the
District' s matching funds. Since underground utilities are not
essential for public access to the preserve, inclusion of
undergrounding in the proposal would result in a significantly
lower project score.
Project Description
The project involves development of a trailhead to provide access
from the Town of Portola Valley to 1 , 130-acre Windy Hill Open
Space Preserve. Proposed facilities include a 50-car parking
area next to Portola Road, a restroom, a wheelchair-accessible
foot trail to a wildlife observation platform overlooking Sausal
Pond, continuation of the foot trail uphill to connect with the
Spring Ridge Trail , and upgrading of an existing patrol road to
create an alternative route to Spring Ridge for bicyclists and
equestrians.
The Portola Road parking area will be constructed in a level
meadow. A patrol road now enters the property near the center of
this meadow. The road will be reconfigured 200 feet to the north
to create a new preserve entrance with a better line of sight for
motorists. The lower end of the existing patrol road will become
the first part of the Sausal Pond Trail . This road is lined with
mature walnut trees; these will be retained to form a shady
border for the trail. The parking area will contain 48 regular
and 2 handicapped parking spaces. A bicycle rack will also be
provided.
The wheelchair-accessible Sausal Pond Trail will start at the
parking area, winding through forest to Sausal Pond. A wooden
restroom with a chemical recirculating toilet will be located
approximately halfway between the parking area and Sausal Pond.
The path will continue across Sausal dam to the proposed wildlife
overlook on the far side of the pond. Beyond the overlook, a
foot trail (not wheelchair accessible) will continue to the
Spring Ridge Trail, part of the existing 12-mile Windy Hill trail
network. The Spring Ridge Trail leads to the grassy 1 , 900 foot
summit of Windy Hill, a popular destination for preserve
visitors.
Equestrians and bicyclists will be provided with a separate route
to Spring Ridge to avoid conflicts with slower moving walkers and
wheelchairs on the Sausal Pond Trail. This will be accomplished
R-91-141 Page 3
by upgrading the surface of the existing patrol road which passes
between Sausal Pond and The Sequoias, the adjacent retirement
community. This route will also be open to walkers. Fencing and
signing will increase the visibility of the parking area and
provide direction for preserve visitors.
The planning and design phase of this project has been completed.
The Planning Commission for the Town of Portola Valley approved a
Conditional Use Permit for the project at its May 1, 1991
meeting. Construction could begin as early as August, 1992. The
District filed a categorical exemption to comply with CEQA for
this proposal , which satisfies the LCWF requirements of the grant
application.
This project will provide a large urban population with close-to-
home access to Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Visitors can
avoid the steep winding drive up to Skyline Boulevard where the
other Windy Hill parking areas are currently located. The new
trail to Sausal Pond will open up an unusually interesting
natural area to the elderly, the very young and those with
physical limitations as well as to the general population.

Application for the Saratoga Summit Gateway Acquisition
Project
Recommended Action:
Adopt the attached Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Approving the
Application for Land and Water Conservation Funds for the
Saratoga Summit Gateway Acquisition Project
Introduction
The District submitted this project for consideration under the
1990-1991 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program. The
project was not funded. Staff believes that the project is an
outstanding acquisition proposal and would like to resubmit it
for funding under the 1991-1992 program. To resubmit this
project, you need to approve the application for fiscal year
1991-1992. The categorical exemption filed for the project will
also be resubmitted.
Pro3ect Summary
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District proposes to
purchase 116 acres of highly desirable open space and recreation
land at Saratoga Gap. The property adjoins a major highway and
trail intersection centrally located on the crest of the Santa
Cruz mountains. It would be an ideal site for a "Saratoga Summit
Gateway" visitor center to provide visitors with information
about 40,000 acres of surrounding public park and open space
lands.
You approved the 1990-1991 LWCF application for this project at
your meeting of April 24, 1991. Please refer to report R-91-51
for a complete description of the project.

REPORT
November 26, 1991
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
SUBJECT: Dedication Status of District Lands
Recommended Action: Adopt the attached Resolution Dedicating
Interests in Certain District Lands for Public Open Space
Purposes,
Introduction: In accordance with the Board ' s Dedicated Lands
Policy as last amended January 22, 1986 (see report R-86-03 dated
January 13 , 1986) , an annual report indicating the status of
District lands as dedicated or undedicated is to be presented to
you in December of each year. According to this policy,
"Normally, undedicated lands within the District ' s boundaries
will be held for future dedication to park or open space, or
both, purposes , but only after the necessary planning, boundary
adjustments , provision for permanent access and other changes in
configuration, which may involve the disposal or exchange of
interests in all or portions of such lands , have been completed. "
Normally, on the basis of the annual report , dedications are then
done in December.
During the year, part of the use and management planning
decisions the Board makes for specific parcels and preserves is
whether to indicate by motion an intention to dedicate certain
interests in land, such as fee title or open space or trail
easements . Note that although a motion of intent to dedicate
might be adopted when the Preliminary Use and Management Plan for
a new acquisition is approved, this does not mean that the parcel
would necessarily be dedicated the following December. That is
because it is usually prudent to wait until the Comprehensive, or `
at least Interim, Use and Management Plan for the entire preserve
is adopted or reviewed.
Since it might benefit the program of the District at some future
time to apply development density credits from dedicated District
land to other lands, dedication of these credits is not now
normally included at the time of the annual dedications . The
idea behind withholding potential density credits from
dedication, while dedicating the land itself for public open
space purposes , is that these credits may represent an asset of
the District which may be of substantial value in the future.

R-91-138 Page 2
The credits might be used for transfer to private property,
potentially increasing the allowed development density on that
property. This might be done in connection with a joint
development application with the private party. In exchange,
some of that property might be permanently preserved or the
District might receive a cash payment which would be used for
purchase of open space in another location. Joint development
plans and transfer of development rights are, of course, subject
to approval of the city or county in which the land lies . A
further rationale is that the District , in asserting its
potential right to use these credits, may be able to counter
proposals to increase allowed development densities that are
based on the argument that the potential development which the
District is precluding by buying open space can be put somewhere
else in the hillsides . Since the District has , in effect , paid
for this density we can argue that the District, if anyone,
should benefit. The District is sponsoring changes to the
District ' s enabling legislation that would state explicitly that
potential density credits are not lost when land is dedicated.
Status Summary: Table I gives a summary of the dedication status
of District preserves and preserve subareas. Only those parcels
for which transactions have closed and title has passed to the
District on or before November 26, 1991 are included. The
interest in land that the District holds , i .e. , fee title, an
easement, or lease, is listed for each area. Rights of first
refusal and of reversion to the District are not included. The
District owns 34 , 275 acres of land rights , 31 , 695 acres in fee
and 2, 580 acres in lesser interests .
Interests in parcels in three preserves are being recommended for
dedication at this time. First , adoption of the Comprehensive
Use and Management Plan for Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve
this year confirmed that the 145 acre former Stanford University
parcel should be dedicated at this time.
Secondly, although La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve Use and
Management Plan has not been reviewed since The Nature
Conservancy property was conveyed to the District earlier this
year, the District has a contractual commitment to The Nature
Conservancy to dedicate the parcel , and it is included in the
proposed resolution.
Finally, the 127 acre former Vista Point Estates property
addition to Coal Creek Open Space preserve, which has been
intended for dedication but withheld due to the possibility of a
lot line adjustment (no longer a possibility) , can now be
dedicated.

R-91-138 Page 3
There is one parcel designated for eventual dedication for which
the Use and Management Plan has been reviewed since acquisition.
It is the 10 acre former Struggle Mountain parcel on Page Mill
Road and is not being recommended for dedication at this time
since it is still an isolated parcel .
Summary: of the 34 ,275 acre total of interests in land, 23, 143
acres are dedicated (67 . 5%) , and 11,132 acres are undedicated
(32. 5%) . Upon adoption of the resolution dedicating 319
additional acres, 23, 462 acres (68. 5%) of these District rights
in land would be dedicated. Of the undedicated lands, 63 . 4% are
in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.

HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
Palo Alto, California
Proposed Trail through Foothills Park
Members of the Council:
You will recall that Council authorized staff to work with the Mid-
Peninsula Open Space District to apply for a State grant for the
purpose of constructing a trail through Foothills Park. At the
time I indicated that there were several unanswered questions, but
that I felt it well worth the effort to try to resolve the
questions and compete in this round of grant funding. Our
discussions to date leave us with a number of issues unresolved;
and rather than try to rush through those issues and submit a weak
application to the State, I believe we should wait and apply for
the next round of funding (1992) .
The issues we are concerned about are: 1) the need for an E--R, 2)
the effect on the "Palo Alto residents only" policy in the Park, 3)
laying out substantial cash subject to reimbursement, 4) the actual
cost to Palo Alto. The District indicates that the competition for
these funds is very high and that a weak application, or one that
is incomplete or makes "reservations" , will be at a disadvantage.
I do not see how we will get these matters resolved within the next
two weeks or so, in order to make the grant funding deadlines.
Consequently, our current plan is to try to work out solutions to
these matters over the next few months and submit a solid
application to the State for the 1992 funding cycle. If we run
into a policy problem, I will bring the item back to you for
further instructions. In any event, staff will keep you advised as
to our progress on the project.
Respectfully submitted,

Subject: Trail Dedication Policies and Practices
Dear Chairperson McKenna and Members of the Board of Supervisors:
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District supports adoption
of Santa Clara County' s Trail Easement Dedication Policies and
Practices dated August , 1991 . We encourage you to leave the
original document intact and reject the three proposed
amendments .
In the nearly twenty years that the Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District has been in existence, the District has strived to
create a greenbelt of recreational lands on the peninsula . In
many instances , our lands adjoin County or State park lands . By
working together with the other park agencies , including Santa
Clara County, we have been collectively successful in developing
an extensive trail network that extends from San Francisco Bav to
the Pacific ocean, and from the northern boundary of the county
to the Mt . Umunhum area. We firmly believe that it is this
corridor of public lands and trails , readily accessible to the
residents of the peninsula and Santa Clara County, that has
helped make the Santa Clara Valley a desirable place to live.
Much has been accomplished in linking trails together to form a
comprehensive trail network. However, in many instances the
trail network is incomplete. The District is very committed to
working with the San Francisco Bay Area Ridge Trail Council to
complete the 400-mile trail along the ridges encircling San
Francisco Bay. We are also very involved in planning the San
Francisco Bay Trail . It is questionable whether or not either of
these trail systems could be completed if the amendments to the
Trail Dedications Policies and Practices are adopted.
It is a common misperception that trails increase crime in the
area . Our experience has been quite the opposite. In several
instances , we have acquired property with a history as a party
spot or as a dumping ground. By stepping up surveillance
immediately following acquisition, we have been able to curtail
night and illegal activities in even the most difficult areas .

citizens , acting as "eyes and ears" for the District and alerting
our ranger staff of questionable activities or safety concerns .
Another common misperception is that trails negatively impact
nearby property values. Again, this has not been our experience.
In fact, in some cases proximity to a developed trail system is a
"selling point" used by developers and homeowners. The Forum at
Rancho San Antonio is currently advertising its location in
relation to both Rancho San Antonio County Park and Rancho San
Antonio Open Space Preserve as a positive aspect of the
development (see attached brochure) . I am also sending you an
excerpt of Economic Impacts of Protecting Rivers, Trails , and
Greenwav Corridors prepared by the National Park Service Rivers
and Trails Conservation Assistance, 1990 . Numerous case studies
of positive impacts of parkland and open space land on property
values are discussed.
We strongly urge you to leave the August, 1991 document intact so
that the trails element of the Santa Clara County General Plan
can become a reality.
Sincerely,

From:
Subject: :Rlesolionof Cooperation
There is enclosed a copy of the original resolution of Cooperation which you signed at
the conclusion of the ALMA's sail to various ports around the San Francisco Bay.
The promotion was to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Scow Schooner ALMA,
the 125th anniversary of the State Park Ranger, and the 75th anniversary of the
National Park Service.
Equally, as important was the promotion program to aquaint the residence around the
bay of the outstanding park and recreation facilities that exist and to indicate to the
public that the land managing agencies are working together to make possible this
outstanding and diverse collection of parks and recreation facilities.
The news clips and your comments indicate to me that the program was successful.
This years experience will make it possible next year to do a better job of marketing
our product.
Your imaginative
inative and creative ideas will be appreciated. Thanks for your support and
your involvement. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Gentlemen:
My property adjoins the proposed Vidovich property that will
become San Antonio Open Space Preserve . I understand that
possible access will be off Olive Tree Lane . I wonder how
this would be done as Olive Tree Lane is a privately
owned road? However, if this should somehow be done I would
like to know about proposed entrance location, proposed
parking lots and public buildings , if any. Please advise .
Thank you

Dear Jean,
I am writing in response to your November 24 letter regarding
trails at Rancho San Antonio. At this time, there are no long-
term plans for recreational use of the proposed Vidovich
acquisition. The District will initiate a comprehensive land use
planning process for this property when the acquisition is
complete. The planning process will then include, at a minimum,
two public meetings and, most likely, a public workshop because
of enormous interest in the trails .
Following the acquisition and prior to the adoption of a land use
plan, it is the District's intent to reinstate the informal
neighborhood access that pre-existed a few years ago. In the
case of Olive Tree Lane, we would like to place a hiking stile
and our standard heavy duty pipe gate. If this approach presents
a problem, please let me know and we can discuss it further. It
is my understanding that the acquisition will not be complete for
over a year.
Your comments pertaining to Olive Tree Lane will be kept on file
and considered when planning gets underway. Your name will be
added to our mailing list which is used when public workshops are
announced. In addition, I suggest you may wish to subscribe to
our Board agendas to ensure that you are adequately informed of
land use planning issues being considered for Board approval.
Sincerely,
ew,lo�2�
