3. Clarify policy regarding requesting applicant to build pathway on opposite side of street from applicant's property Council agreed that this issue was related to the in lieu fees which would be discussed at a later date. 4. Revise current Pathways Map The Public Works Manager reported that he and John Chau,the engineering technician, were planning to meet on the computer map. It was agreed representatives from the Pathways Committee would also attend this meeting. It was further agreed that the date of the next printing would be checked. Staff noted that they had a file of changes to be made to the map since it was last updated. 5. Obtain pathway from La Loma Drive into Mid-Pen Open Space Les Earnest referred to his report in which he noted that the Pathways Committee for several years had been attempting to find an access from La Loma Drive into the Mid-Pen Open Space District. When the Purissima Hills Water District expanded their tank installation some years ago the main trail was blocked. Les noted that while hikers can still get through, it is very III difficult for horses. Les offered four alternate routes for consideration in his report. One was the southside route (improve the existing impromtu route along the South side of the fence by adding a retaining wall on the downhill side so as to provide a tread of four feet wide). The second was the frontside route (provide public access on the existing road through the tank farm and construct an additional fence so as to keep trail users away from the water tank and external illl plumbing). The northwest route included constructing a native path along the north and west • sides of the tank site just outside of the existing fence. The final route was the backside route (opening the existing entrance gate to the property and constructing three short fences within so as to direct hikers and equestrians around the backside of the water tank). Ernest Solomon,member Purissima Hills Water District, did not agree with a path near the La Loma Water Tank. Graffiti was a serious problem and the tank and its water should not be accessible to traffic of any kind. Doni Hubbard, 25228 La Loma Drive, noted that she had lived in this area for a long time and was well acquainted with the area and the trails. She believed there could be an alternate route if the fence was relocated. Council agreed that there were several options to evaluate and discuss and directed the committee to continue discussions with the water district and Town staff. 6. Expedite completion of pathways 7.
