seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
V. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
B. Crowder suggested that instead of sending Mr. Bernstein two letters, we send one
stating that the January 15 letter covered his points. C. Britton said Mr. Bernstein
responded to the draft response and staff changed one sentence.
R. Anderson said there is a District brochure on dog etiquette. P. Siemens suggested
adding information to that brochure as to why we require leashes based on specific
incidents. P. Siemens will work with R. Anderson. Following discussion, it was agreed
to add wording to the letter stating that in the next edition of the brochure, the District
will include specific examples of dog-related incidents on preserves where dogs are
permitted.
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board approve the response to the written
communication from Dan Bernstein, Peninsula Access for Dogs, 1165
Eureka Avenue, Los Altos, CA 94024, as amended. D. Smernoff
seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
VI. BOARD BUSINESS
B. Crowder moved the agenda to Item No. 6.
A. Agenda Item No. 6 - Acceptance of the Informational Report on the Ranger
Bicycle Patrol Program in 1997 - (Report R-98-17)
A. Coleman said the bicycle patrol hours had tripled and reviewed the numbers in
the report and said all rangers were given gloves and helmets. The four rangers
assigned to the patrol were given the special jackets and long pants, and could buy
additional bike patrol items with their uniform allowance. Three rangers earned
jackets and pants by riding the shared bicycles enough hours. She said as the bikes
get older they will need to be replaced, but they are holding up well and are being
well taken care of
Board members agreed that the bike patrol is a good way to interact with the
public. A. Coleman said the bike patrol doesn't just enforce rules, but they help to
repair bikes, and she was impressed by the wide variety of contacts made by them.
Public contact has been very positive, and they have more mobility and can cover
trails they can't drive on.
B. Crowder encouraged staff to apply in the budget if they think they need more
bicycles. J. Escobar said they need to measure the priority against others, and the
bike patrol is just one function of the ranger staff. A. Coleman agreed with him
that they should stay with the same number of bikes for this year and evaluate the
program. J. Escobar said breakdowns have not been an issue. A. Coleman said
Meeting 98-02 Page 3
rangers use their discretion as to when it is too wet to ride. P. Siemens said he
wanted to consider potential expansion of the program.
J. Escobar said perhaps being on bikes put rangers in a position to make more
contacts in areas not accessible to vehicles. A. Coleman said having bike patrol on
Stevens Canyon Trail has reduced problems.
B. Agenda Item No. I - Appointment of 1998 Board Committees - (Report R-98-
C. Britton noted that the Ridge Trail Committee representative position was
changed to non-compensable during the workshop.
N. Hanko asked if it would be advisable to keep the Pichetti Committee in place in
case subjects come up that could be dealt with by them. C. Britton said questions
would be referred to Acquisition and Enterprise Committee.
Motion, M. Davey moved that the Board approve the President's
appointments to standing and ad-hoc committees as contained in
the report, including the determination of compensation status, with
the change to the Ridge Trail Committee representative. N. Hanko
seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
C. Agenda Item No. 2 -District Appointments to the Midpeninsula Regional, Onen
Space District Financing Authority Governing Board - (Report R-98-20)
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board approve the President's
appointment of Directors Nitz, Smernoff, and Davey to serve on
the Governing Board of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space
District Financing Authority. N. Hanko seconded the motion. The
motion passed 7 to 0.
D. Agenda Item No. 3 -Proposed Addition of Vanderpan Pro. ea to Kennedy-
Limekiln Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve;Determination That the
Recommended Actions are Categorically Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act;Tentative Adoption of the Preliminary Use and
Management Plan Recommendations Including Naming;the Property as an
Addition to the Kennedy Limekiln Area of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve; and
Indicate their Intention to Dedicate the Propel as Public Open Space - (ftoort
R-98-1 Q
D. Woods presented the staff report, showing the location of the property on a
map. He said there are a number of developed properties on Soda Springs Road.
D. Smernoff asked about the likelihood of connecting Mt. Thayer to the Kennedy
Limekiln Area. D. Woods pointed out a trail that is public to the edge of District
property, so it can't be used to get to Mt. Thayer. He showed slides of the
property, including one from the Ridge Trail which does not go through the
property. He showed alternative alignments for the Ridge Trail and said the
Meeting 98-02 Page 4
property is in close proximity to the Trail and certainly in the view shed.
M. Williams outlined the terms and conditions of acquisition. He said they are
looking at other properties which might be acquired with the balance of the grant.
Motion, D. Smernoff moved that the Board determine that the
recommended actions are categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act as set out in the staff report; adopt
Resolution 98-03 a Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District Authorizing
Acceptance of Purchase Agreement, Authorizing Officer to
Execute Certificate of Acceptance of Grant to District, and
Authorizing General Manager to Execute Any and All Other
Documents Necessary or Appropriate to Closing of the Transaction
(Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve -Lands of Vanderpan);
tentatively adopt the Preliminary Use and Management Plan
recommendations contained in the staff report, including naming the
Vanderpan property as an addition to the Kennedy Limekiln Area
of Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve; and indicate their intention to
dedicate the property as public open space. P. Siemens seconded
the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
E. Agenda Item No. 4 - Authorization to Retain Cotton. Shires& Associates Inc. for
Consulting Services to Prepare Construction Documents and Increase the Project
Budget for Schilling Lake Spillway Repairs at Thornewood Open Space Preserve;
Authorization for the General Manager to Execute an Agreement with Cotton.
Shires Associates in the Amount of$18.500 Increasing the Project Budget from
$15-000 to $35-000 - (Report R-98-15)
C. Britton noted that a clearer accounting of the project had been given to Board
Members tonight.
R. Anderson presented the staff report, stating that they changed engineers
because of liability insurance and that caused some lost time and effort. He said
they had looked at other options, including trenching and draining the lake. He
said the lake is used by native water fowl and animals and that the repair should be
a permanent cure of this problem. Engineers have walked the dam and were not
concerned about earthquakes.
C. Britton explained the circumstances under which the property could be disposed
of. N. Hanko said when they acquired the Thornewood property, they didn't
expect it to be such a draw from the standpoint of the public. She felt that the
earlier decisions made by the Board had been good ones.
C. Britton added that staff is not looking into the possibility of disposing of the
property but are looking into RFPs for a long-term tenant. Without different
direction from the Board, staff considers it one of the permanent open space
preserves. P. Siemens said he thought the property was an asset to the District.
Meeting 98-02 Page 5
Motion: J. Cyr moved that the Board Authorize the General Manager to
execute an agreement with Cotton, Shires& Associates, Inc. in the
amount of$18,500 to provide geotechnical engineering consulting
services on the spillway repair project, and authorize increasing the
project budget from $15,000 to $35,000.
F. Agenda Item No. 5 - Tentative Adoption of Preliminary 1998-1999 Action Plan
for Implementation of District's Basic Policy- (Report R-98-12)
C. Britton said any changes discussed at this meeting would be an assignment for
the Budget Committee. He said staff would highlight key projects and be available
to answer questions.
Open Space Acquisition Program
Negotiations and Special Pr!Qiects Subprogra
M. Williams highlighted key projects. M. Williams noted the key addition of Lisa
Zadek who was promoted to Real Property Assistant. Staff answered questions
regarding the relocation assistance program (Item 11 under Other Projects and
Activities).
Enterprise Subprogram
M. Williams noted four Key Projects.
Board Members agreed it would be useful to tour the District's enterprise
properties. B. Crowder also suggested touring acquisition properties before they
come to the Board. C. Britton said they plan to have more meetings of the
Acquisition and Enterprise Committee. S. Schectman said other Board Members
can attend committee meetings as observers.
M. Williams gave an example of the type of proposal that would be considered
under Other Projects and Activities, No. 4 on page 6. C. Britton said they get all
kinds of proposals and requests and investigate the ones that have merit.
Open Space Planning Program
Advance Planning Subprogram
Current Planning Subprogram
R. Anderson said the work program had been presented at the last meeting and is
still a draft which will be finalized during the budget process. He said the spillway
(Key Project 2, page 10, Thornewood Schilling Lake Dam Spillway Restoration
and Landslide Repair) should be completed this summer. Referring to Key Project
2 on page 9, Trail Use Policy and Guidelines Review, B. Crowder suggested
using the Regional Open Space Study mailing list. N. Hanko agreed that might be
Meeting 98-02 Page 6
valuable.
R. Anderson said that in regard to Item 6 on page 10 (Soda Springs Parking and
Trail Plan), they are still studying where the parking will be, including the possible
interim use of county parking.
H. Haeussler asked about alignment of the trails at Windy Hill. He was informed
that there is a huge backlog of trail projects and other trails had higher priorities, in
some cases because of grant funding.
P. Siemens suggested establishing a data base regarding signs which could be tied
in with preserve maps.
N. Hanko said people attending Resource Management meetings indicated that the
District is doing what the public wants, and that is acquiring properties.
Operations Program
J. Escobar pointed out that the outline on the second page of the report needs to
be updated to show that Resource Management has been moved to the Operations
Program.
Field Operations
J. Escobar said they were not recommending any staff changes for the year. He
outlined the four Key Projects. He noted that the Key Projects tended to focus on
the administration and management aspects of the department; however, Key
Project 4 speaks to what the field staff does. He said the efforts to prevent
establishment of undesignated trails would include barriers, signing, focusing on
compliance, and restoration work to make the trails unusable. Regarding the
Wilderness Trail policy, J. Escobar said Planning would be the lead, but Operations
would be closely involved.
J. Escobar said the total seasonal hours on page 11, third line from the bottom,
should be 7,500, not 8,500 as listed. In response to concerns about the trail
machine being idle except for a few weeks a year, J. Escobar said it has more
applications than trail building, including maintenance.
D. Smernoff said it might be useful to have an accounting of volunteer hours to
give a sense of how much support we are getting from the community. J. Escobar
said they would report actual hours during program evaluation. He recognized J.
Isaacs as a preparer of the report.
Resource Manay-ement
J. Isaacs described the Key Projects.
J. Escobar commented on the work plan, stating they planned for the Use and
Meeting 98-02 Page 7
Management Committee to be a Resource Management oversight steering
committee which would study the plan within the next 30 days prior to bringing it
back to the Board. He described the kind of detail they would be bringing to the
Committee over the course of the year.
J. Isaacs said she thought this is the kind of situation where the Use and
Management Committee could be helpful in presenting options and cost analysis.
She said the plan does not specifically address invasive native plants, but
monitoring them would be a good project for an intern.
Public Affairs Program
General Public Information and Outreach Subprogram
C. Bruins said the four Key Projects are similar to those from last year. She said
educating bikers and dog owners on proper trail etiquette was not a Key Project;
however, there is a trail etiquette brochure. J. Escobar said they have discussed
the matter with M. Smith and Planning and they feel there is a need to get out and
meet with those groups at their regular meetings.
Legislative. Funding- and Organization Relations Subprogram
C. Britton described the Key Projects.
Visitor Services Subprogram
C. Bruins said the Kids' Nature Express and the 1998 Special Districts Forum
were new Key Projects. She said they would get schedule information on the
Forum out as soon as possible. She said they do keep track of all volunteer hours.
Administration Program
Administration/Human Resources Subprogram
C. Britton listed the Key Projects. Regarding the personnel manual, S. Schectman
said it could appear under both Subprograms as they would both be working on it.
In regard to Item 10 on page 23, D. Smernoff said the District needs to be more
careful about what they purchase, since their goal is to protect the environment.
Referring to Item 11 on page 23, C. Britton informed the Board that D. Woods is
in charge of computer programs. He said they have implemented some of the
recommendations in the Grant Thornton management letter and there will be a
response to that letter.
Legal Services Subogram
S. Schectman said they sometimes have unanticipated Key Projects and described
the new ones, including Coastal Expansion.
Motion: P. Siemens moved that the Board adopt the Preliminary Action Plan
as amended; and charge the 1998 Administration and Budget
Committee with conducting a review of the Preliminary Action Plan
Meeting 98-02 Page 8
on the Board's behalf as part of the budget review process. D.
Smernoff seconded the motion. The motion passed 7 to 0.
G. Agenda Item No. 7 - Approval of Amendment to District Legal Counsel
Employment Agreement Reclassifying Position From One-Half to Two-Thirds
Time and Approval of Salary and Benefit Adjustment - (Report R-98-131.
Motion: N. Hanko moved that the Board Adopt Resolution 98-04 a
Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional
Open Space District Approving an Amendment to District Legal
Counsel Employment Agreement. J. Cyr seconded the motion.
The motion passed 7 to 0.
VII. INFORMATIONAL REPORTS
P. Siemens described a meeting with special districts regarding representation on LAFCO.
C. Britton pointed out this was listed on page 17 of the preliminary action plan under
other projects and activities.
N. Hanko said the period for response to the Yosemite plan has been expanded and
described some of the elements of the plan.
D. Smernoff said he, B. Crowder and J. Cyr had been out with the El Corte de Madera
(ECDM) Task Force and it was a valuable tour.
K. Nitz said he and B. Crowder and many volunteers went to Pulgas Ridge and pulled
broom and acacia trees.
B. Crowder had attended the hearing on the Castle Rock State Park Master Plan.
C. Britton reported as follows: 1. The third annual State of the District Message was
presented the previous Friday to staff. 2. The Operations Program review kickoff is next
Monday. The consultant will be here. 3. Art O'Neal's next round of training will be
regarding District-wide agreements. 4. In the FYIs was information on the Pichetti ranch
award for architectural excellence. 5. March 14-15 will be the Planning and Conservation
League symposium in Sacramento.
J Escobar presented an update on the victim of the accident at ECDM.
R. Anderson said in regard to Teague Hill, they have a copy of a memo from the town's
legal counsel to the planning director stating the general plan consistency issue is resolved.
Therefore we can submit our application but we will wait until after the Summit Springs
property exchange.

SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS
Jan. 1: T. Karnofel received a phone report of motorcycles in Sierra Azul OSP. He and T. Lausten
contacted three juveniles on motorcycles as they entered the preserve. The father, who owns an
adjacent parcel, was contacted and given a verbal warning.
Jan. 2: The "Red Barn" at the Rocking Martini Ranch of La Honda Creek OSP was broken into.
Several half empty beer cans were discovered. The barn has been better secured. B. Downing.
Jan. 3: A ritual occult site at El Corte de Madera OSP was reconstructed. The site had been dismantled
two months earlier.
Jan. 3: K. Miller responded with San Mateo County sheriff's dept. to a report of a suspicious person in
Pulgas Ridge OSP. The preserve was checked and the person wasn't located.
Jan. 3: T. Karnofel and K. Carlson responded to a report of vandalism and off-road vehicle activity in
Sierra Azul OSP. A chain was cut on a gate and vehicle tracks were found. The area was
secured with a new chain and lock.
Jan. 6: J. Kowaleski discovered vandalism to a gate and off-road vehicle tracks in Sierra Azul OSP. A
chain had been cut on a gate and he replaced it with a new chain and lock. P. Hearin and K.
Miller found vehicle tracks throughout the preserve.
Jan. 10: K. Miller overheard a Santa Clara County ranger requesting assistance with suspects who had
been in an altercation with bicyclists in Stevens Creek County Park. The suspects were believed
to be armed. K. Miller informed a passing county deputy of the call. The deputy was not
familiar with the county ranger's location so K. Miller guided the deputy to the area. The deputy
initiated a felony stop and requested that the rangers watch the four suspects while he searched
the vehicle. No weapons were found, but a suspect was cited for possession of marijuana. The
suspects had thrown firecrackers at bicyclists.
Jan. 11: T. Karnofel discovered vandalism to a gate in Sierra Azul OSP. The chain had been cut,
however a link was placed back into the chain to make it appear that it was secure. The chain
was replaced.
Jan. 16: K. Miller responded to a report from county rangers that a body had been found in Rancho San
Antonio OSP. K. Miller went to the site with the citizens who had found the body and secured
the area as a possible crime scene. K. Carlson, T. Karnofel and M. Newburn assisted the
coroner in removing the body. P. Hearin was the District's liaison at the command post. The
person had been missing since May 24, 1997.
Jan. 28: A preserve visitor was handing out "Meat Stinks" pamphlets to docents and children in the permit
lot. Farm staff requested that he stop interfering the school programs. Staff is investigating
options for dealing with this ongoing situation.
Jan. 3 1: Cattle belonging to a neighboring rancher were once again found grazing in Russian Ridge OSP.
The rancher is still on probation for a previous violation and the matter has been refereed to the
San Mateo County District Attorney's Office. L. Paterson.

to transfer ownership of three individually owned properties. The transfer enables the District
to acquire a portion of the former Corte Madera Associates Property located in Portola Valley
from POST; POST to acquire Loma Prieta Ranch from Pelican Timber Company; and Pelican
Timber Company to acquire the Summit Springs Parcel located in Woodside from the District.
In addition, the project provides for the District to manage Loma Prieta Ranch which is being
acquired by POST. When completed, the project will provide an addition to Windy Hill Open
Space Preserve totaling 173.5 acres and secure a vital trail link between the Sierra Azul Open
Space Preserve and Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. The three-way transfer is a result of a
private/pubic partnership aimed at preserving key properties for open space purposes.
The 173.5-acre portion of the former Corte Madera Associates Property which the District
would be acquiring from POST has long been considered a high priority addition to the Windy
Hill Open Space Preserve since the preserve was created with an initial acquisition from POST
in 1980. The 1,132-acre preserve currently surrounds the former Corte Madera Associates
Property, making the property critically important to the District. In 1992, the District
initiated an effort to acquire the property from Corte Madera Associates, a Partnership, but
was unsuccessful (see report R-92-61). POST acquired the property in 1996 and has worked
closely with the District, Town of Portola Valley, and neighbors to preserve the majority of
the property for open space, while potentially being able to resell two small parcels to recoup a
portion of their acquisition costs. To facilitate the transfer of this property to the District, you
recently approved the Road and Utility Easement Agreement and the Water Agreement that
clarifies shared interests in roads, utilities, and water rights between private property owners,
POST, and the District (see report R-97-153).
Loma Prieta Ranch, which POST would be acquiring from Pelican Timber Company, has the
possibility of providing a regional trail connection between the Sierra Azul Open Space
Preserve, Soquel Demonstration State Forest and Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, thereby
connecting a series of public lands stretching from the Town of Los Gatos to the State beaches
in Aptos. The 500-acre property is located near the southwest boundary of the preserve and is
adjacent to the north boundary of the Soquel Demonstration State Forest. The District and
Bay Area Ridge Trail Council have been interested in providing a trail connection between the
Ridge Trail at Mt. Loma Prieta and trails in Forest of Nisene Marks State Park for many years
and have been concerned over potential development or other land uses that could prohibit trail
connections. In the past, this property has been used by off-road vehicles and as an
impromptu shooting range. More recently, it has been marketed for residential and
agricultural development, and, because market conditions have improved over the past few
years, preservation of the property has become urgent.
The 36-acre Summit Springs Parcel is part of the 624-acre Teague Hill Open Space Preserve
that was acquired by the District in 1988. The acquisition was undertaken with the
understanding that the District could not afford the total purchase price of$7,500,000 without
recapturing a significant portion of the purchase price by selling areas of the property for
potential development. Following the acquisition, two small parcels situated close to existing
development at Summit Springs Road and Pinto Way were determined to be surplus property.
An important factor in the decision to dispose of these parcels was the commitment made by
the District of$6,000,000 toward the purchase of the nearby Phleger estate, also located in
Woodside. The Phleger Estate was acquired by POST, and with District assistance is now a
R-98-25 Page 3
part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area managed by the U.S. Park Service. To
date, there have been two unsuccessful attempts to dispose of the surplus parcels. In 1991 the
Town of Woodside placed an advisory measure on the ballot to ask citizens to fund an
assessment district to buy the surplus properties at a below market rate. This measure failed by
a narrow margin. In 1993 the District held a public auction but no bids were received.
In 1995 the Town of Woodside approved certificates of compliance establishing that the two
surplus parcels, and five other parcels within the preserve, were legal parcels. District staff
was authorized in 1996 to submit an application to the Town of Woodside for a lot line
adjustment to create three residential parcels at Pinto Way (see report R-96-72). Subsequently,
Pelican Timber Company has become interested in acquiring the Summit Springs Road parcel
and has proceeded with preliminary studies of the site.
Lands of POST - Former Corte Madera Associates PropeU
Description (see attached mal2)
The 173.5-acre portion of the former Corte Madera Associates Property is surrounded by the
Windy Hill Open Space Preserve. Located in the Town of Portola Valley, the property spans
a prominent ridge between Alpine Road and Skyline Boulevard. Dense redwood forest, deep
ravines, boulder-laden creeks and grassland meadows best describe the property. The
proposed addition is most important in terms of protecting the integrity of the Windy Hill
Open Space Preserve, including its pristine wildlife habitat, watershed and public trail system.
The property is part of the 204-acre Corte Madera Associates Property which was acquired by
POST in 1995. The acquisition included most of the undeveloped and partially developed land
that is surrounded by the open space preserve, with the exception of four private parcels that
have been developed for residential use. As part of this project, POST has reconfigured the
original property boundaries in order to provide for a 173.5-acre open space parcel and two
smaller private parcels. As a result of the proposed open space addition, a 7.5-acre parcel is
intended to be added to the uppermost private parcel and a 23-acre private parcel will be
created as an inholding near Alpine Road.
The property is part of the historic Lauriston Estate which was developed by Herbert Law, a
wealthy San Francisco businessman. The estate included his daughter's homestead site which
was only partially developed in the 1930's. The remnants of Patricia Law's Homestead
remain within the proposed 23-acre private parcel and not on the portion of the property being
transferred to the District. The once large sandstone building burned in 1971, leaving only the
exterior walls which have been heavily vandalized and weakened during the 1989 earthquake.
The area surroundingthe homestead once included elaborate gardens, walkways, and stone
g � Y �
walls which are still in place, but also located on the parcel remaining in private hands.
The 173.5-acre open space parcel is irregular-shaped and bounded by the preserve to the
northwest, west and south, Corte Madera Creek to the east, and private properties to the
northeast and southeast. Portola Valley's Coal Mine Ridge Preserve is located directly north
of the property across Alpine Road. The property is encircled by public trails, namely the
Hamm's Gulch, Eagle, Razorback and Lost Trails.
R-98-25 Page 4
The property serves as a major scenic backdrop to the Town of Portola Valley. The lower
portion of the property is dominated by an oak-studded ridge, located between Jones Gulch
and Fitzpatrick Creek. The steep riparian side slopes are comprised of redwood forest and
associated plant communities. The upper reaches of the property are covered with a mixture
of chaparral on steep exposed slopes, pockets of open grassland, oak woodland forest, and
redwood forest at the highest elevations.
Improvements to the property include a number of roads and water lines. Lauriston Road
serves as the primary access and is a private surfaced driveway extending from Alpine Road to
the four private parcels. The road is approximately 2 miles long and crosses the proposed
addition and a small portion of the existing open space preserve. Beyond the four private
parcels, the road is called "Old Ranch Road" and is unsurfaced and climbs to the northwest
boundary of the property where it passes through the preserve, connecting to Skyline
Boulevard. Other less-developed roads are located below the proposed 23-acre private parcel
and above the four existing developed parcels. Most of the roads are overgrown but some are
maintained for access to water systems that serve the four private parcels. Agreements for the
use and management of these roads and utilities and water systems were outlined in detail for
you at your November 4, 1997 meeting (see report R-97-153).
1998 Storm Update
As of the date of this report, Lauriston Road has many landslides and will be very expensive to
reopen. The owners of the private parcels were given an emergency permit to enter in order
to reopen Old Ranch Road, to which they have an easement. The soil conditions were such
that Old Ranch Road could not be reopened, and the owners were evacuated because of lack of
power and access. Work is continuing to reopen Old Ranch Road. Short-term and long-term
solutions are not known at this time as Lauriston Road may be too expensive to repair.
Therefore, the terms of the Transfer Agreement with POST are being left somewhat open-
ended and staff may be returning to you with agreement modifications as solutions are worked
out.
Use and Management Plan_
Planning Considerations
The property is located within the District's boundary and in the incorporated area of the Town
of Portola Valley. Zoning allows low density residential development. The Town of Portola
Valley has approved the proposed lot line adjustment contingent upon acceptance, by all parcel
owners, of the road and utility agreement which was presented to you at your November 4,
1997 meeting. The agreement provides conditions for maintenance and improvements to roads
and utilities, including a process by which the District will review and approve specific
maintenance and improvement projects.
The 23-acre private parcel being created near Alpine Road will be subject to a conservation
easement to be held by POST. In addition, a water supply and storage easement appurtenant
to the 23-acre private parcel will encumber lands to be acquired by the District. The easement
R-98-25 Page 5
provides for the installation of a 150,000 water tank and associated water system in an area
lying directly south and adjacent to the private parcel. The site for the water tank was chosen
because of its accessibility to Lauriston Road and the feasibility of natural screening from
Spring Ridge, Coal Mine and Razorback Ridge public trails. Staff has field inspected the site
and determined that the tank is located appropriately.
There are three potential trail alignments within the property which were addressed when the
Road and Utility Easement Agreement was approved. At the northwest end of the property,
Old Ranch Road may be incorporated into the preserve's trail system by providing a short
connecting trail to Hamm's Gulch Trail. A mid-level trail shown on the Portola Valley Trails
Plan may be considered in the future, at the 1,200-foot elevation, but special care will be
needed to minimize possible conflicts when crossing Lauriston Road. The third potential trail
may utilize a short section of the lower Lauriston Road between the Corte Madera Creek
bridge and an overgrown trail that traverses the slope below the proposed 23-acre private
parcel. This trail would ultimately connect to Razorback Trail.
Preliminary Use and Management Plan Recommendations
The preliminary use and management plan incorporates recommendations you previously
approved with the Road and Utility Easement Agreement as well as new recommendations
relating to the addition of the Corte Madera Associates Property (see report R-97-135). The
plan will take effect upon acquisition of the property from POST and remain effective until a
Comprehensive Use and Management Plan is updated for the preserve. Future land use
decisions, including plans for increased public access, will follow further environmental
assessments to ensure land use decisions are consistent with ecological values.
Public Access: Prohibit public use on Old Ranch Road where it crosses private lands;
minimize public use on Lauriston Road except for specified trail crossings; keep the public
trail between Alpine Road and Hamm's Gulch Trail open.
Dedication: Indicate your intention to dedicate the property as public open space.
Trail Use Designation: Continue to permit equestrian use and hiking on existing public trail
located between Alpine Road and Hamm's Gulch Trail.
Patrol: Regularly patrol Lauriston Road and Old Ranch Road through private lands to
minimize illegal public use of the road.
Donor Recognition: Allow donor recognition by POST (with District approval) as provided in
the Transfer Agreement.
Roads: Cooperate with private property owners in their efforts to improve emergency access
on Old Ranch Road; provide timely review and approvals of proposed maintenance and
improvement projects on Lauriston Road and Old Ranch Road.
Signs: Install signs where appropriate to prohibit trail use on Lauriston Road and Old Ranch
R-98-25 Page 6
Road where they cross private lands; install private property and preserve boundary signs
where necessary.
Name: Name the property as an addition to the Windy Hill Open Space Preserve.
Site Safety Inspection: Inspect the property to determine if there are hazards that need to be
mitigated.
Lands of District - Summit Springs Parcel
Description (see attached map)
The property consists of approximately 35.98 acres of land located off Summit Springs Road
in the Town of Woodside. It is one of two parcels designated by the District as surplus
property following the acquisition in 1988 of the 624-acre Teague Hill Open Space Preserve.
The preserve is adjacent to Huddart County Park on the north and watershed lands owned by
California Water Service Company on the west and south. The Summit Springs Parcel
occupies moderate to steep slopes on an east-facing hillside overlooking the Town. The area
to the east of the preserve and the Summit Springs Parcel consists of residential development
on equally steep slopes with residential lots ranging in size from one to three acres.
Vegetation consists primarily of black oak and canyon oak woodland with several islands of
coast redwood forest. The black oak woodland tends to dominate the lower slopes,
transitioning into canyon oak woodland on the upper slopes. There is evidence of previous
timber harvest within the coast redwood forest. In harvested and disturbed areas tan oak
seedlings are dominant and eventually much of this area may succeed into a tan oak woodland.
The site was surveyed by a California Native Plant Society botanist, and there are no known
rare or endangered plants.
The only improved trail on the Summit Springs Parcel is the road leading to a water tank
owned by California Water Service Company, and a short stub trail to the west. This trail is
maintained as an access road by California Water Service Company to its tank. It also
provides District patrol access to the interior of the preserve. Water Company access to the
tank and District access for patrol will be retained on this road or a new alignment as part of
any residential development. Although overgrown and partially severed by slides and erosion,
an old road alignment connects from the west end of the Summit Springs Parcel to the west
end of the Pinto Way parcel that has potential to be reopened as a trail connection.
Use and Man_aeement Plan_
Planning Considerations
The property boundaries for the surplus property were configured based upon studies by
planning and engineering consultants who determined the most suitable areas for development
and those least valuable as open space. The original configuration of the two surplus property
parcels anticipated that each would have a density of five single family residential sites, based
on the then current zoning. In 1989 the Town rezoned the properties to SCP-10, or Special
R-98-25 Page 7
Conservation District with a 10-acre minimum lot size, thus the maximum density would be
three units in each 35-acre area.
In 1993 the District attempted to auction the two surplus parcels, but received no bids. In
addition to a depressed real estate market, the lack of interest was attributed to a lack of clarity
about the legal status and developability of the parcels. The Board directed staff to work with
consultants to address these issues (see report R-93-69). Later, the Board authorized staff to
pursue the consultant's recommendation to apply for lot line adjustments of existing legal
parcels to create three legal parcels within each of the two surplus parcels (see report
R-94-105).
As a result of the consultant's work, in 1995 the Town of Woodside provided certificates of
compliance that both surplus areas were legal parcels, along with five other historical parcels
within the 624-acre Teague Hill property. These certificates included conditions that
development would be subject to proving consistency with zoning, geotechnical stability, and
ability to meet engineering standards. Preliminary engineering studies of both areas were
undertaken. The Summit Springs Parcel was found to be significantly more geologically
constrained than the Pinto Way parcel. The Board determined not to spend additional money
studying the Summit Springs Parcel or to pursue creating additional parcels there. Studies
were to continue on the Pinto Way parcel (see report R-95-136).
Access, utilities, and services are available to serve the site. On-site septic systems will be
required for wastewater disposal. Three successful percolation tests were completed on the
site in 1995 and certified by the San Mateo County Health Department. A water tank and
access road for California Water Service Company is located near the center of the property,
however the site is outside the company's service area and above the pressure zone of the tank,
so annexation and an additional water storage tank will be required if Cal Water is to serve the
site. Alternatively, a private well could be developed.
As a condition of the sales agreement, the Summit Springs Parcel will be limited to
development as one residential site under the Rules and Regulations of the Town of Woodside.
The area outside of the development envelope will be protected by an open space easement and
a trail easement will be reserved from the end of Summit Springs Road to the trail connection
to Pinto Way. Although designated public, because of lack of parking and proximity to
development, these trails would be considered neighborhood access only, and general public
access would not be encouraged.
Preliminary Use and Management Plan Recommendations
The preliminary use and management plan will take effect upon the execution of the agreement
and remain effective until a Comprehensive Use and Management Plan is updated for the
preserve. Future land use decisions, including plans for increased public access, will follow
further environmental assessments to ensure land use decisions are consistent with ecological
values.
Public Access: The final trail easement location may require realignment of existing trail;
temporary use of the existing alignment will be required from Pelican Timber Company.
R-98-25 Page 8
Trail Use Designation: Permit equestrian use and hiking will be permitted on the existing and
proposed trail easement.
Patrol: Regularly patrol the trail easement. Continue use of the California Water Service
Company road or new access alignment.
Signs: Install signs where appropriate to prohibit trespass and identify trail easement and new
property boundaries.
Site Safety Inspection: Inspect the trail easement to determine if there are hazards that need to
be mitigated.
Management of POST Lands - Loma Prieta Ranch
Description see attached man)
The 500-acre Loma Prieta Ranch is located on the southwestern slope of Mt. Loma Prieta, in
Santa Cruz County. Spanning an area between Loma Prieta Road and Highlands Way, the
heavily forested property is a natural extension of the adjacent Soquel Demonstration State
Forest (SDSF) and Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. The District's Sierra Azul Open Space
1
Preserve and the planned San Francisco Bay Area Ridge Trail are within one mile of the
property. Acquisition of the property provides the potential for linking the Bay Area Ridge
Trail with Santa Cruz County's Coastal Trail that descends through the Forest of Nisene Marks
State Park.
The property is generally steep with elevations ranging from 1,600 feet near the south
boundary to 2,800 feet near Loma Prieta Road. Two prominent features of the property
include Rattlesnake Gulch which bisects the site in the north-south direction, and a large,
relatively level plateau at the 2,500-foot elevation. Rattlesnake Gulch has a perennial creek
and lush riparian vegetation. The upper portion of the property contains chaparral and an
attractive stand of knobcone pine; the lower elevation has several acres of redwood forest. It
is home to a variety of wildlife including mountain lion, bobcat, deer and coyote. Steelhead
may also inhabit the site since they have been found in the upper reaches of Soquel Creek.
The northern portion of the property can be accessed from Loma Prieta Road and Highland
Way. An easement, comprised of a 400-foot long unsurfaced road, extends from Loma Prieta
Road to the property's northern boundary. The road descends sharply down a ridge to a
relatively level plateau near the center of the property. A second entrance is from Highland
Way which, until a few years ago, intersected Summit Road to the west and Eureka Canyon
Road to the east. A massive landslide has prevented use of the road to the west of the
property, leaving access to the lower portion of the property from Eureka Canyon Road which
ascends out of the community of Corralitos. The property entrance has a large gate and berm
designed to eliminate trespass problems which have occurred in the past.
The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park and SDSF both provide recreational trails with public
parking areas and interconnecting trail systems. The trail system provides two routes from
Highlands Way to the coast; one to Soquel Drive in Aptos and the other to the Town of Soquel.
R-98-25 Page 9
The property's trail from top to bottom easily connects to the public parking area and trailhead for
SDSF which is located only a few hundred feet to the east of the Loma Prieta Ranch entrance on
Highland Way.
Improvements to the property are limited to the unsurfaced roads, gates, fencing and a well.
The well is located in the vicinity of the 30- to 40-acre plateau area. Massive berms, gates and
fences have been constructed to reduce a historical problem with illegal use by recreational gun
enthusiasts and four-wheel drive vehicles. These barriers are located at both the Highland
Way and Loma Prieta Road entrances. A nearby resident and Deputy of the Santa Cruz
Sheriffs Office has contracted with Pelican Timber Company to assist in surveillance of the
site and the problems are now negligible. The illegal target shooting activity did result in
contaminating two small areas near Rattlesnake Gulch but these were successfully cleaned up
in 1994 with the proceeds of a redwood timber harvest.
Use and Management Plan
Planning Considerations
The property is located within 400 feet of the District Sphere of Influence boundary and is in
P Perty P �'Y
the unincorporated area of Santa Cruz County. Open space use of the property is consistent
with the County's General Plan and POST and the District will pursue the possibility of
transferring the property to SDSF and/or Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. In the
meantime, the District will assume responsibility for management of the property and for
working with POST in seeking ways to protect this critically important link between the Sierra
Azul Open Space Preserve and the State park and forest, and ultimately to the Coastal Trail
and State beaches.
Preliminary Use and Management Plan Recommendations
The preliminary use and management plan will take effect upon acquisition of the property by
POST, and remain effective until a Comprehensive Use and Management Plan is updated for
the preserve. Future land use decisions, including plans for increased public access, will
follow further environmental assessments to ensure land use decisions are consistent with
ecological. values.
Public Access: Property to remain closed to the public until a more detailed management plan
can be developed for the site.
Patrol: Regularly patrol the property; investigate cooperative agreements with other agencies
or contract assistance in augmenting District patrol efforts.
Roads: Maintain primary access road from Loma Prieta Road to Highland Way.
Signs: Install signs where appropriate to prohibit access to the property.
Site Safety Inspection: Inspect the property to determine if there are hazards that need to be
mitigated.

CEQA COMPLIANCE
Project Description
The project consists of the acquisition of a 173.5-acre parcel of land as an addition to Windy
Hill Open Space Preserve, entering into an agreement to sell a 36-acre surplus parcel of land at
Teague Hill Open Space Preserve, and a management agreement with Peninsula Open Space
Trust (POST) for a 500-acre parcel of land near Loma Prieta. It includes the concurrent
adoption of Preliminary Use and Management Plans for the addition to Windy Hill, remaining
open space and trail easements on the surplus land at Teague Hill, and POST lands near Loma
Prieta. The land being added to Windy Hill will be permanently preserved as open space,
open to the public and maintained in a natural condition. POST lands near Loma Prieta will
be maintained in a natural condition and closed to the public until such time as a management
plan can be developed for the site.
The buyer of the surplus property has indicated a desire to develop the parcel as a single-
family residential site. If the parcel is shown to be incapable of residential development, the
transaction will be canceled and the property will remain in District ownership. A.single-
family residential site is a foreseeable use of the surplus property. The property was
determined to be surplus property in 1992 due to the desire to recapture a portion of the cost
associated with acquiring the Teague Hill Open Space Preserve and findings by planning and
engineering consultants that the site was suitable for development and least desirable for open
space. The surplus property is in a natural state and adjacent to residential development along
Summit Springs Road. The District will retain an open space and trail easement to minimize
development impacts on the preserve and neighboring properties as well as provide continued
trail access to the preserve.
CEQA Determination
The District concludes this project will not have a significant effect on the environment. It is
categorically exempt from CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) under Article 19,
Sections 15303, 15304, 15312, 15316, 15325 and 15061 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Section 15303 exempts small construction or development projects. Under private ownership,
it is reasonable to expect that the 36-acre surplus property being sold at Teague Hill Open
Space Preserve is to be developed for a residential and/or accessory structures. The zoning
will allow this type of development and residential use will be compatible with adjacent or
nearby land uses. Construction of a single-family residence will not impact the environment in
general. Concerns over height, view, privacy and soil conditions are considered normal and
common considerations in the construction of single-family residences. There are no unusual
circumstances anticipated with the subsequent development of the property.
Section 15304 exempts minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water,
and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of mature, scenic trees. The proposed
realignment of a trail across an easement on the 36-acre surplus property at Teague Hill Open
Space Preserve will involve only minor grading and removal of brush.
i
R-98-25 Page 11
Section 15312 exempts the sale of surplus government property. The 36-acre parcel at Teague
Hill Open Space Preserve was designated surplus in 1992 because it was acquired as part of a
larger parcel with the intention of selling it to recover some of the cost of acquisition and
subsequent to findings by planning and engineering consultants that the site was suitable for
development and least desirable for open space. The property was withheld from open space
dedication to allow for its future disposition as a marketable and developable property. The
parcel is located adjacent to other residential development on lots one to three acres in size.
An open space and trail easement will be retained on the property to ensure minimal impacts
occur to the character of the neighborhood and existing neighborhood trail access.
Section 15316 exempts the acquisition of land in order to create parks if the site is in a natural
condition and the management plan proposes to keep the area in a natural condition.
The use and management plans for addition to Windy Hill Open Space Preserve and
management of POST lands near Loma Prieta specify the land remain undeveloped and in a
natural condition.
Section 15325 exempts transfers of ownership of interests in land in order to preserve open
space. The addition to Windy Hill Open Space Preserve will transfer ownership of the
property to the District and ensure it will be preserved as public open space.
TERMS
The agreements before you envision a three-way exchange of lands; however, Pelican Timber
has up to one year to obtain the approvals necessary to satisfactorily conclude that the
District's surplus property can be developed as a single family residential site under the rules
and regulations of the Town of Woodside. If for any reason the property cannot be developed,
the exchange could be terminated. Also, the terms and location of the trail easement and
conservation easement have not been finalized so the agreement allows a 60-day period after
approval to complete this process, which would return to you for final approval.
District acquisition of the 173.5-acre portion of the POST (Corte Madera Associates) property
is contingent upon POST's completion of the lot line adjustment necessary to create the 173.5-
acre arc el. This acquisition will occur in accor
dance with the Transfer Agreement,
reement and will
transaction is terminated. The Transfer Agreement provides for the
occur even if the exchange
g
payment of$79,500 to POST for their costs relative to engineering, legal fees, holding costs,
etc., for the former Corte Madera Associates Property. This payment is considered to be very
reasonable in light of POST having acquired this property for $2.7 million in June, 1995 and
negotiating all of the agreements necessary to complete this transaction to the District's
satisfaction. Based upon acreage cost alone, transfer of this property to the District represents
a value of$2.3 million. Therefore, the value of this property in the exchange transaction,
assuming Loma Prieta Ranch and the Summit Springs Parcel each to be worth on the order of
$1 million, represents a significant bargain sale to the District.
Additionally, if this exchange is successfully completed, POST would sell or transfer Loma
Prieta Ranch to the State or other public agency (or even to a suitable private party) in order to
establish this critical public trail segment. Both the District and POST will work to help make
this happen. In the event this transfer does not occur, the District would have the option to
R-98-25 Page 12
acquire Loma Prieta Ranch after five years for a total payment of$5,000.00. In this case, the
District would end up owning the property in fee title and be responsible for ongoing
management.

the Property until such time as District or other public agency acquires the Property,
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Management. District shall be responsible for management of the entire approximately
500 acre Property for that period of time from the date POST takes title to the Property until
District or other public agency (or compatible private party) acquires title to the Property from
POST pursuant to Section 6, below. District may install gate(s), appropriate signing, and
fencing as necessary in the sole opinion of District and may undertake such other steps as
District deems necessary or appropriate for the proper and safe management of the Property
and to protect the Property's natural resources. The Property may be open for public access
and use in a manner consistent with District policies and regulations applicable to District
owned property.
2. Patrol. District shall patrol and manage the Property in a manner consistent with
adjacent District holdings and District will endeavor to keep the Property in a safe and sanitary
condition and to discourage deleterious or incompatible uses of the Property. District
acknowledges that the Property has a history of deleterious and incompatible uses and will
keep POST informed of the measures District will undertake, including regular periodic
inspections, to discourage such uses on the Property during District's patrol and management.
Should any trespass or other unauthorized use or activities occur upon the Property, District
may exercise its authority to correct these matters including, where necessary, enforcing
District regulations and ordinances on the Property. The Property shall be deemed to be

agents, officers, officials, and employees against any and all claims or liability for injury or
damage to persons or property arising out of or resulting from the negligent acts or fault of
POST, or its agents, employees, officers or servants, in connection with the Property. In the
event of concurrent negligence, each party will bear responsibility for its acts in proportion to

option under this Agreement to purchase the Property from POST for the sum of Five
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), which sum shall include, but not be limited to, any
and all closing costs and fees (including Title Insurance if required by District). This option

five year anniversary date of Close of Escrow for acquisition of the Property by POST and
shall lapse thereafter. At the time of conveyance of fee title to District or other public agency
(or suitable private party) as provided herein, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect. If District fails to acquire the Property from POST within the time
periods specified in this Section, any obligation POST may have to sell, transfer or convey
