Approve Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement on the property located at 22461 Mount Eden Road (APN 503-80-001). 2. Adopt Resolution Accepting Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement. REPORT SUMMARY: On May 11, 2005 the Planning Commission approved a Design Review Application to construct a new two-story home on a property located at 22461 Mount Eden Road (APN 503-80-001) owned by Udaya Shankar. One of the conditions of approval required the owner to formally dedicate an existing pedestrian and equestrian trail along Mount Eden Road. The trail has been improved and informally used for years. The purpose of the trail easement dedication is to assure the existing trail will remain in the City’s public trail system along Mt. Eden Road. The Pedestrian, Equestrian, and Bicycle Trails Advisory Committee (PEBTAC) fully supports the easement dedication and acceptance. In addition, the trail is shown as a Proposed City Trail in the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan. It is therefore recommended that the Council approves the attached Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement and adopts the Resolution Accepting Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement. FISCAL IMPACTS: There is no cost associated with approving the attached Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement will not be approved at this time. Page 2 of 2 ALTERNATIVE ACTION: None in addition to the above.
