SUBJECT: Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Approve Offer to Dedicate Trail Easement on the property located at 22461 Mount Eden Road

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.
