Dan Trinidad Parks and Recreation Commission :City of Saratoga 1.3777 Fruitvale Ave S-aratoga, CA 95070 'd Dear Commissioners and Staff: This letter is a follow up to the one sent on May 3,1991, outlining the rationale for our objection to any tail on Kerwin Ranch. Since that time, we have closely reviewed the draft of the Master Trails Plan and noticed erroneous information in regard to our property. For the record, we are clarifying the description of our property on Wildcat Creek in Section 3.6,12. The Segment 40 description states that an unofficial trail exists along the creekside (Wildcat Creek) and that it is enjoyed by "residents". In actuality, there is 'no creekside trail, nor any public trail, official or unofficial, on our property. There is a transit path across the orchard directly between Ronnie Way and Fruitvale Ave. That path is not located on or near the creek, nor is it intended for general public use. We have given revocable permission under Civil Code 1008 to our neighbors only in the bordering subdivision, as a courtesy and convenience, to transit the property. The permission is for the path only and only when there is no orchard work in progress in the area. There are signs posted and the neighbors receive reminders of our trespassing policy. (see Encl 1) This is our way of trying to maintain an open orchard and still. extend a neighborly courtesy,, In no way is~our policy intended as a precedent fora public trail. In the light of the above information, we ask that you correct the draft of the Master Trails Plan by deleting the erroneous description and/or forward this request to the group now reviewing the draft. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Linda J. Davis, Co-Trustee Kerwin Ranch LP Kerwin Ranch Since ]t]90 1361 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga CA 85070 - . INFORMATION I'IEMO _.. June 5, 1991 Dear Neighbor, - The Kerwin Ranch consists of the eleven orohard acres located near you on the east-side of Fruitvale Ave. For'the past three years we have distributed a memo advising you of our orchard program. and requesting your cooperation as our neighbors. The response has been so positive that we have'decid~d tocontinue ' sending a similar memo each year shortly before harvest. ' -First and foremost we would-Tike to -extend our 'thanks for' your interest and cooperation as we continue to maintain the orchard and fruit production. In spite of the continuing drought, our 1990 harvest yield was about 10 tons-. While the yield was the same as 1989, direct sales from our fruit stand doubled to 4.2 tons with over 1,200 customers during"a period of 10 days. Our fruit stand is enjoying a growing reputation for top quality fruit at reasonable prices. We are pleased to provide this service to the community.' The entire proceeds from fruit stand sales are utilized for orchard maintenance and planting young trees. We now have 406 mature apricot trees fn production. During the past three years we have planted over 300 young trees, including 158 apricots, 67 prunes, 46 peach, 32 nectarine and i0 cherries. ' - The 1991 crop is slightly less in volume than 89 and 90. Th1s is primarily due to the March rains which heavily thinned the buds. We will again be marketing top quality fresh fruit by the basket and by the lug for canners and jam makers. The stand is located on Saratoga Ave at Lisa Marie Ct. It will be open 10-14 days from the first picking to last. Fresh fruit is gold as it is picked. Orders may be placed by phone at 867-1670. - This year we have had some problems wfth.trespassing, including shooting at fruit and birds with rocks and pellet guns, poaching, picking blossoms and fruitwood. We remind you that we depend on our neighbors good will and cooperation in order to continue maintaining on open area. We would appreciate a phone call if you observe people stealing fruit or vandalizing. In add~i,;,~,e observe the following policies: ~.. A direct transit path between Fruitvale Ave and 8~~_ 'ia permitted as a convenience to our neighbors only.._, Crossing is prohibited .when orchard work i~ ~~:,~ ;; that area. Z. There is no trespassing on any other part of t3~a,.Qy~ any time. 3. Poaching fruit and tampering with wildlife is not permitted. - Four generations of the Kerwin Ranch family are continuing to operatz arm i;ultLral 3:,t ~ i'°,~e3 tcua} . ::e :.:~a~k yoc: for your sustained'support.
