REPORT SUMMARY:
In February last year, the Council approved relocation of an existing pedestrian and equestrian trail that
runs through the Parker Ranch Open Space and through the Saratoga Country Club due to extensive
erosion.
The new trail construction has been completed, the trail location has been surveyed and the trail
easement description and plat plan have been prepared. Representatives of both properties executed Offer
to Dedicate Trail Easement on their respective properties.
To insure trail connectivity at the City limit line, City staff worked with representatives of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District who relocated the connecting trail in Fremont Older Open
Space due to the same reasons. Both trails were fully re-opened for pedestrians and equestrians last
spring.
Attached Resolutions, if adopted, will confirm acceptance of the dedicated trail easements and abandon
the trail easements no longer needed. No other easements identified, described or delineated on the
Page 2 of 2
referenced properties are being vacated by the City at this time. All work associated with the new trail
construction, survey and document preparation was funded by donated funds the City has received for
this project.
It is therefore recommended that City Council accept both Offers to Dedicate Trail Easement and adopt
the attached Resolutions Accepting Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement and Abandoning Existing Trail
Easement.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no costs associated with accepting the attached Offers to Dedicate Trail Easement and adopting
the Resolutions.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The relocation of the Pedestrian and Equestrian Trail Easement will not be approved at this time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
None in addition to the above.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
The Offers to Dedicate Trail Easement and the Resolutions will be recorded by the City Clerk.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
