Saratoga, California 95070
attention: Mr. Dan Trinidad
Dear Mr. Trinidad,
Per our conversation on August 18th, I am providing this package for clarification and action by your
department. As you may remember, my wife and I have been attempting to build a house on Lot #3, Trail
#7770 for approximately 3 years, however, we have finally arrived at a point where we only need two more
items for zone clearance. One of those is approval from your department regarding proposed plans for a
trail improvement.
The trail easement for Lot #3 is somewhat complicated in that part of it is shared (moving from lot #3 to #9
and back), and part of it is wholly on bt #9. As we are the first to build, we are responsible for the
improvement of the shared portion. We do not propose to improve that section which is wholly on lot #9
(the "upped' section). Mr. Kahn, the owner of lot #9 has not, to my knowledge, even submitted plans for
building on his lot, and therefore the total trail would not be completed until his house was built (this could
be some considerable time).
According to the map, the ingress/egress easement and trail easement are coincident. That implies that a
driveway improvement would take care of a trail improvement. I have attached specifications (per city
requirement) of the proposed driveway (materials, etc). In our discussion, you indicated that your
equestrian consultant would have to look at the plan and might have some concerns regards the surfacing
as it affected horses. With the attached materials, I would ask that this consultation occur as quickly as
possible. You additionally indicated that while the turn-around time for your commission was typically quite
fast, the next meeting would not take place until September 14th. As our process involves getting a zone
clearance and then plan check, this timing will obviously cause a significant delay in our plans, potentially
pushing the start date out past the October 10th moratorium period.
While I realize that my emergencies are not your problem, I am asking that 1) given that the entire trail
would not be finished even when our section is complete, thereby preventing pedestrians and
equestrians alike from even using it, 2) changes to the improvement could be initiated at a later time (even
during our construction period), and 3) considering our dire need for some help at this point, you review
and submit a "tentative" approval of our plans so that we might go forward with our project. I realize that the
full commission will not have the opportunity to meet and discuss the findings until later, but I think that
there is enough flexibility here to meet your needs as well as ours.
Thanks for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
~~
Phil Williams

Planning Commission established the following conditions:
The applicant shall submit plans for the improvement of the
pedestrian/equestrian easement to the Parks and Recreation
Commission review and approval prior to the zone clearance. The
easement shall be improved prior to final occupancy.

development plan for the development of the property. and is
proposing that the required improvements for the
pedestrian/equestrian trail be made a part of his improved
driveway. In reviewing his plans and walking the site with Bill
Brooks, staff recommends the following:
The site plan be accepted as submitted and a 4 foot wide improved
trail surfaced with 3 inches of decomposed granite be required to
be installed adjacent to the driveway. The specific location of
the trail will be determined in conjunction with the construction
of the driveway. It is estimated that the cost of this driveway
will be approximately $800.
(600' long % 4' wide % $.33/square foot = $800)
