9 Santa Clara Valley Water District File No.: Agenda Date: 10/22/2018 Item No.: 3.1. COMMITTEE AGENDA MEMORANDUM Board Policy and Planning Committee SUBJECT: Policy for Use of District Property for Trails, Open Space, and Recreation. RECOMMENDATION: This is a discussion item and the Committee may provide comments if applicable; however, no action is required. SUMMARY: This agenda item provides an opportunity for the Committee to receive information on the existing Board policies that are intended to provide guidance for use of District property for Trails, Open Space, and Recreation along creeks. In 1972, the Board adopted Resolution (Attachment 1), stating the District s policy that certain compatible public recreational uses of groundwater recharge facilities are favored when an appropriate public agency has a contract with the District. Two years later, the Board adopted Resolution (Attachment 2) resolving that it is in the public interest to secure diversified uses of District property to the greatest extent compatible with the primary purpose of such property. It was under this policy that the development of trails on District property was founded. Public agencies, such as the County of Santa Clara and local cities, prepare trail feasibility studies, master plans and design plans for proposed trails. In accordance with Board policies regarding joint use of District property for trails, joint use agreements state that the use shall not unduly interfere with the District s use and that the agency requesting the joint use take full responsibility for the installation, maintenance, and removal of improvements installed for public use. Once the Board approves a new joint use agreement, trail infrastructure improvements are reviewed and permitted under the District s Water Resources Protection Ordinance. On May 25, 1982, the Board adopted Resolution (Attachment 3), declaring a policy to govern joint use of lands acquired for Upper and Lower Llagas Creek PL-566 (PL-566) Watershed projects. The policy states that the District shall neither make nor permit any use whatever for public access for park, trails, or recreation or similar purposes of lands presently owned or acquired by it for the Upper and Lower Creek Watershed projects while adjacent lands are within the areas designated Resource Conservation Areas in the land use plan of the General Plan of the County of Santa Clara.

10 File No.: Agenda Date: 10/22/2018 Item No.: 3.1. The County land use, Resource Conservation Areas, is an umbrella designation that includes agricultural, open space, baylands, hillsides, park, and ranch lands. These land uses occur largely along Llagas Creek from the Pajaro River to Lake Silveira and its tributaries (reaches 1 through 4 of the PL-566 project) and do not include lands in the urban areas of Gilroy and Morgan Hill. On January 10, 2017, the Board discussed this resolution as it limits the development of trails along Llagas Creek. The Board has approved 2 waivers of Resolution 82-30, one in the City of Gilroy and one in the City of Morgan Hill, for isolated pockets of Resource Conservation land surrounded by developed parcels and located adjacent to each city where the trail proposal was subject to CEQA, notification to neighboring properties, public review and input. It is possible that as the trail projects are proposed within PL-566 project area and CEQA compliance and outreach are completed by the local public agencies, that staff can continue to bring waivers of Resolution to the Board on a case-by case basis. Alternatively, the Board can repeal or modify this resolution to allow trails following public outreach and due consideration of interested parties. In 2004, Board adopted Ends Policy E and E that support healthy communities by providing access to additional trails, parks, and open space along creeks, watersheds, and District facilities with the provision that public access is subject to the District s performance of its primary mission, including the operation of reservoirs for water supply and flood protection, sustaining water quality to meet regulatory standards, and meeting environmental objectives. The attached PowerPoint presentation (Attachment 4) includes two case studies that will discuss the project, its impacts to District, staff interpretation and implementation of the existing policies in review of trail projects.

34 10/22/2018 Handout 3.1-A Use of District Property for Trails, Open Space, and Recreation BPPC Meeting October 22, 2018 Board Governance Policies Ends policies E and E support access to additional trails, parks, and open space along waterways and District facilities, and E supports preservation of creeks, bay, and ecosystems through environmental stewardship. Resolution 74 38: to secure diversified uses of District property to the greatest extent compatible with the primary purpose. District interests are to allow safe passage of flood flows, access for maintenance, environmental mitigation and preservation, and future flood protection needs. Community interests adjacent to waterways are recreational use, alternative transportation, and targeted needs of Creekside owners. There are conflicting priorities with some trail projects that require additional Board input and direction. Presenting two case studies of proposed trails that will provide details as to how the proposal impacts District maintenance operations and riparian corridor preservation and conflict with our needs. 1

Viable options exist, that are not under consideration that are less costly and non disruptive. 2 1

48 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Opposition to the Regnart Creek Trail 409 signatures from residents who live adjacent to Regnart Creek oppose the Regnart Creek Trial. In contrast, 390 signatures in favor were submitted to Cupertino City Council on Aug. 21, 2018 (Opposition petition attached) Opposition stems from: Safety concerns Privacy concerns Disruption to habitat Removal of numerous trees in Wilson Park to accommodate a bridge and in Civic Park next to Pacifica to accommodate a path to the Trail Head Erecting a 7 foot wall which would disrupt quite enjoyment of the Creek s habitat along DePalma Lane and Lozano Lane 3 Trail Alignment and Features 4 2

50 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Aerial View of Homes on Lozano & De Palma Lane Unlike the gentlemen who purchased a home near the railroad, he knew what he was buying. Our situation is not comparable, we did not buy these homes for a 7 foot wall to be erected in front of them. We did not buy these homes to have our privacy and security compromised. 7 Significant & Permanent Impact on Properties From this To this Loss of privacy Loss of view Increased noise from talking, music, skate boards and scooters Light pollution from lights Trespassing on property Increased litter Increased pet waste Harmful impact to creek habitat 8 4

51 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Proposed Trail Impacts Homes on De Palma Lane The trail would alter ingress and egress, making it more difficult for the homeowners A fence would be out of place and be visually ugly The Trail and proposed fencing would limit access of emergency vehicles, putting lives at risk 9 Trail Wall would create a Prison like Neighborhood The proposed wall/fence destroys the feel of the neighborhood Proposed wall/fences would be unsightly, like a prison A 6 fence/wall would create shadows, impacting, if not killing the landscaping A fence would make the middle area hard to maintain A fence would reduce and change ingress and egress for the residents, a maze A fence would force trimming and changing the shape of the beautiful trees 10 5

52 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Safety and Habitat Ecology Disruption Are children safe where vultures with 7 ft wingspans search for food and prey? Are children safe walking on a path where there are coyotes? Coyotes, ducks, frogs, birds, squirrels and other creatures rely on the creek for water. Increased human traffic and fencing would materially alter their habitat Children walking on the trail may be vulnerable to coyotes and vultures or frightened by other native animals. A fence would create an alley, where escape from a coyote or other wild animal would be extremely difficult. There would be no escape A child could fall 14 feet into the dry creek and aid would not be immediately available. 11 Water Levels Reach Dangerous Levels During heavy rains, water levels in the Creek rise to dangerous levels, bordering on over flowing. Are children safe walking along swift running water? Are children safe walking along a creek where there is no fencing, and a 14 foot drop? 12 6

53 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Crime and Vandalism are present The path has a history of crime and vandalism and the reason Regnart Creek is fenced today Historical crime records are poor and overstate safety Vandalism on the pedestrian path occurs now In 2017, on Lozano Lane, a stranger tried to approach the daughter of one of the homeowners Cars were broken into in 2017 on Lozano Lane and Biltmore Apts Residents are very concerned about security 13 Santa Clara Water District Trail Limited to 10 Feet Photo of 10 feet dimension 10 foot trail dimensions crowd utility pole 14 7

54 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Survey Showing Water District Property 10 Feet Santa Clara Water District property is limited to 10 feet. We were informed that 1 foot shoulders are needed on both sides of the trail, or 12 feet. This would encroach on our properties. If kept to 10 feet, 8 feet is too narrow for cyclists and pedestrians to share. One of the reasons Cupertino created bike paths is because cyclists and pedestrians can t share a sidewalk, they are too narrow. 15 Safe, Viable Alternative Paths Already Exist Regnart Creek Safe, bike friendly streets already exist 16 8

55 10/23/2018 Handout 3.1-B Existing Safe Routes to Schools Existing safe residential streets with side walks Pacifica, Somerset, Farallone Dr 17 95% of Regnart Creek Residents Oppose the Trail 100% of the homeowners of Campo De Lozano Homeowners Association oppose the Regnart Creek Trail 100% of the households, residing on DePalma Lane, oppose the Regnart Creek Trail 95% of households along La Mar, Vicksburg, Farallone and Las Ondas oppose the Regnart Creek Trail A petition has confirmed their opposition to the this Trail.
