deeply involved in this project up until well on monday night commissioner away was out norwalk and talking with the community all the way up into the last days it's our leadership we're at this place to thank you very much commissioners and it was with regards to that commissioner bonilla and commissioner president buell hfa have asked that item be put forth for the undesignated contingency reserve so the walter trail is on the north slorp of the park and sits between billy goat hills and the active part in the diamond heights neighborhood currently

an undesignated trail shown on the orange line that links those two parklands these kinds of linkages are support by adjoin plan 3.2 and 3 enhancing that work and green ways throughout the city current site conditions as i said it is 4 hundred plus linear feet shown on the top photo and the took up and bottom of trail is an earth trail with a switch back fwn we've had conversation for sometime about what to do with the particular area and in order to get a sense from the community how to move forward we held a community meeting on december 10th of last year, it was a very lively and subcontractor active meeting a

lot of people participated and we question what's the best connection that balances everyone's needs on the site so we looked at 3 alternatives no connection a trail connection with the earthen scale with the top and bottom stairway is is a dog and the steps saw i think i see a leash. >> i think i saw the glen eagle park presentation the dog gets around with you we were asked to look at the pros and cons and voted for the took up pick it was not complete consensus in

the room with the steps at the top and bottom received the performance of o are preponderance of support and created the plan in front of you today in addition the participant asked for additional items be considered to make the plan even better one was to look at buffers with the neighboring properties to minimize the impact overall of the trail to keep the wilderness and address erosion there's erosion issues and make the site more welcoming so as a followup to the community meeting we've conducted a variety of surveys hazard tree assessment and ceqa review we held meeting with the two adjacent neighbors one of which is here jane i know you'll be

speaking, too, and fred has a medical issue i think he submitted comments in writing i want to appreciate they both met with us to go through the details and came up with a balanced plan in an effort to then gather more input from the larger community we held on open house that described the elements thinking of the with the concept plan we envision the trail to go what the fenced might look like and variety of design combhoernt thinking about for the plan itself we received over a dozen e-mail communications i believe are in your packet that stated the general support for the concept plan and also a few some folks at the open house that that lingering concerns primarily

related to the number of steps we're proposing as well as where the trail entry will come into the trail so here's the schematic for the trail the blue areas with the buffer areas next to our neighbors orange areas are the box steps in the yellow areas are the earth and trail so in going through this process and identifying the buffer areas we had less room to work with we're trying to stay out of the buffer areas to be good neighbors what resulted was a plan that has more box steps then what we talked about at the community meeting at the community meeting we said we thought co-we could do an earthquake trail that was

before we looked at the buffer issue once we took out the hundred or so or hundred and 50 feet custom 86 we have to add additional steps to get up to the slope then the other thing to note in the overall plan the entrance to the trail at&t's at the park is itch closer to the where the folks want to go the children's area and the basketball portion of park, if you will, so the advantage of the concept we're showing here and so then a little bit of details we envision there will be about 5 hundred and 60 linear feet of earth trail about hundred and 20 feet of boxes steps 80 percent of the trail is earth and trail

we have included measures for split rail fence to announce the entries one of the things the neighborhood want to make it more welcoming it is sort of now undleptd unknown open space so a little bit of the modesty fence from the bottom right we inevitable will help announce it and make the site more welcoming and guide users to the new entry we would decommission the existing trail deal with the erosion and do screening planning department for the neighbors and to screen people that are using the trail to promoted the wildness pies as well arborists finding do 5 trees and we went through that with the community and their obviously

fallen over the trail unhealthy trees and many, many trees will remain on the wooded hillside and the estimated cost is hundred and $47,000 so staff believes that the elements of this sxheptd plan really address the spirit of what we said we'll do in the community meeting an december 10th we've addressed the 4 items we feel like in terms of making it more welcoming and reducing the impacts and addressing the there is no with the neighbors and minimizing the impact overall we believe that plan balances the immediate neighbors interests and community twrrz overall with that said, we intend to meet one more time with the folks that have loirng concerned about the number of steps and some of the design issues to see if
