2001
Mr. House, through his representative, approached the City with a request to vacate
portion of Old Oak Way suggesting to dedicate an easement for trail purposes. Park and
Recreation Commission’s Trail Subcommittee reviewed the proposed trail easement
location. They recommended approval of the Old Oak Way vacation subject to dedication
and improvement of the trail easement. Proposed trail would provide trail connection
between Chiquita Way/Chadwick Court and Parker Ranch Trail System (see attached
Proposed House Trail - 2001). The trail would require construction of two bridges. Three
other property owners (Kahn, Williams, and Parker Ranch HOA) were involved in this
proposed trail connection.
The City prepared dedication documents for all four involved parties. Mr. Kahn signed
offer to dedicate a trail easement in exchange of abandonement of existing trail easement
on his property. Representatives of Parker Ranch HOA signed offer to dedicate a trail
easement connecting existing trail with the boundary of Mr. House’s property. Williams’
and House’s offer remained unsigned. (Williams’ dedication was not critical to the
proposed trail connection.)
2002
Mr. House continued to work on the street vacation. Vacation documents were prepared
by his engineer and reviewed by the City Surveyor.
2003
After several revisions, the street vacation documents were deemed correct by the City
Surveyor. In addition, street dedication documents for required fire truck turnaround at
the proposed end of public portion of Old Oak Way were prepared and approved by the
City staff.
Design reviews for two new homes and quarry restoration on House’s property were
approved.
2004
Mr. House, his contractor, and the City representatives walked the proposed trail as
shown on the attached Proposed House Trail - 2001. Two trail modifications were
suggested by Mr. House to help lower the cost of the trail construction. Both
modifications required neighbor’s participation – trail easement relocation from Kahn
and trail easement dedication from another owner, not yet involved in the project. The
modified trail location would avoid construction of one of the bridges.
In addition, during the same site visit the group also walked existing damaged trail in
Parker Ranch and discussed the repair option. Shortly after the walk, Mr. House’s
contractor Don Hays submitted to the City the cost estimate for the repair of Parker
Ranch washed-out trail section.
Horse stable in the quarry area is approved by the City.
2005
Mr. House, Trail Committee members and City staff conducted another site visit. The
Committee members support trail modifications as determined last fall to lower the trail
construction cost. Both neighbors, whose participation was needed, were contacted; none
of them were willing to donate/relocate the easement. Two bridges remained on the
agenda.
2006
Mr. House proposed entirely different location for the trail connection between Garrod
Road and Parker Ranch trail system. This new version of the trail consists of two sections
and is located on properties owned by House and Garrod (see attached Proposed House
Trail - 2007).
2007
Dave House, Jan Garrod, Trail Commissioners and City staff walked the new proposed
trail. General location appeared to be satisfactory to all, details need to be finalized. Dan
Hays provided cost estimate for construction of both trail sections. The cost of
construction of both proposed trail segments and repair of eroded section of Parker Ranch
trail is within the value of the portion of Old Oak Way to be vacated.
