SUBJECT: Request Santa Clara County amend their Sanborn Park 'Trails Master Plan to
include an easement across County owned Quarry land for possible trail
development
RECOMIVIEND�I) AC'�ION(S):
Adopt and forward attached resolution to the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation
Department requesting they amend their Sanborn Park Trails Master Plan Document to include
options to develop the "Saratoga to the Sea Trail" running across County owned property and
transfer said property from the County Roads Department to the County Parks and Recreation
Department for this purpose.
YZEPORT S�J1VgMARY:
City Council Members and staff attended a meeting held last September at the Santa Clara
County Offices on Hedding Street, which discussed the feasibility of developing a hiking trail on
County Owned property know as parcel numbers 317-32-001 and 503-48-014 (commonly known
as the "Quarry"), which, when combined with other trail easements and linkages, could connect
Saratoga to the coast trail system. Also present at this meeting was a representative from the
office of Liz Kniss, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors District 5 member, to which
Saratoga belongs, representatives from the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department
and Road Department, and a representative from the San Jose Water Company. Interest in
developing the "Quarry" property was expressed by the office of Supervisor Liz Kniss and by all
tllose in attendance, with the understanding that certain conditions would need to be satisfied
prior to development of the "Quarr}�' property and the trail easement.
One of these conditions was ownership of the parcels would need to be transferred from the
Santa Clara County Roads Department to the County Parks and Recreation Department. This
can be considered by requesting the transfer be placed on the Parks and Recreation Deparhnent
Acquisition Agenda. If the property transfer occurs, the trail can then be incorporated into the
Sanborn County Park Trails Master Plan, which is scheduled for revision sometime within the
next 12 months. Once placed on the County Master Plan, pursuit of an easement across the
adjacent San Jose Water Company parcel can commence, with the long-term goal of establishing
several interconnecting linkages to eventually form the "Saratoga to the Sea Trail".
An additional condition prior to establishment of this trail is to place the parcel directly adjacent
to Hakone Gardens (which is currently for sale) under Saratoga's sphere of influence, which will
enable the City to place a connecting trail easement. This is presently being pursued by the City,
and may come before Council at a regular meeting early next year.
At a recent Town Hall meeting this past October, County Supervisar Liz Kniss again expressed
support for this trail, and suggested the City forward a resolution (attachment B) to the County
requesting the intra County
proposed trail can occur

Recreation Department for inclusion in the Sanborn Park Trail Master Plan supporting
proposed development of a"Saratoga to the Sea Trail".
Dear Ms. Killough:
Attached please find a resolution from the City of Saratoga City Council, signed by our
Mayor, in support of transferring County owned properties with parcel numbers 317-32-
001 and 503-48-014 from the County Roads Deparhnent to the County Parks and
Recreation Deparhnent for possible development of the "Saratoga to the Sea Trail".
The City is requesting inclusion of this proposed trail into the Sanborn Park Trails Master
Plan, which, per our understanding, is being revised within the next 12 months.
Sincerely,
John Cherbone,
Public Works Director

�XP1tESSING IN'�'EREST' gN T�IE DEVEI.OPMENT OF QbJA1�tX AS
"SARAT�GA TO TI� SEA �RAIg,"
W�IER�AS, the Santa Clara County property parcel 317-32-001 of 37.5 acres
and parcel 503-48-014 of 28.4 acres, also known as the Quarry, has a series of
trailshoads not in public use at this time; and
V6'gIEY2�AS, this network could serve as a significant hiking linkage, connecting
Saratoga to the ocean; and
W�IE�AS, the "Saratoga to the Sea Trail" could start at Hakone Park, pass through
The Quarry, with an easement continue through water company property, pass up through
Sanborn Park and continue through Castle Rock State Park over to the ocean.
W�IEREAS, this property is owned by the Santa Clara County Road's Department
and would have to be purchased by Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department at a
fair market value before it could be considered as part of the County parks system; and
W�-i�REAS, the potential benefit to Santa Clara County residents and Saratoga
citizens is great; and
W�I�REAS, District 5's Supervisor, Liz Kniss believes adding this property to a
master plan for the County's General Parks Plan would benefit the residents of Santa Clara
County; and
W�IEIZEAS, a trail from the floor of the Santa Clara Valley to the ocean would
enhance the overall Santa Clara County Parks system and the Saratoga Trail's plan.
NOW, '�'�IEREFOItE, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Saratoga
hereby wishes to express its interest in this property being developed as a"Saratoga to the Sea
Trail" and that the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Deparhnent and the Saratoga
Public Works Department explore options to develop the trail and bring these options back to
the Saratoga City Council within the next six months.
The above and foregoing resolution was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the
Saratoga City Council held on the day of 2003 by the following vote:
