Agreement # 1 pertains to the 39.10:acre District-owned parcel, located between the easterly edge of Foothills Park and the westerly edge of Page Mill Road. Agreement #2 covers the 85.37-acre City-owned parcel located near the northeast junction of Page Mill Road and Monte Bello Road. (See Attachment A for Location Map.) RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Property M~magement Agreements for exchange of management responsibilities between the City of Palo Alto and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space Districl on the above-referenced properties. POLICY IMPLICATIONS: These agreements are consistent with past Council action for the Faber Laumeister tract, and with the stewardship concept approved by Council for the Arastradero Preserve. CMR:107:97 Page I of 4 BACKGROUND: On December 12, 1972, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Holm donated an 85.37-acre parcel, located between the easterly edge of Foothills Park and the westerly edge of Page Mill Road, to the City. There were no conditions or restrictions to the donation, other than that the City pay outstanding taxes and assessments in the amount of $25,000 (CMR:540:2). The property is zoned as open space, but it is not a dedicated park. It is considered remote and has very little public use and, therefore, requires limited City resources. In the late 1970’s, an adjacent land owner (Harry Aine) filed suit against the City in an attempt to establish access to his property through the City-owned property. This matter was settled when the District bought the 30-acre Aine parcel in the late 1980’s for $325,000. During the later course of the litigation, in aletter dated October 6, 1988, the District offered to exchange 66 acres of land adjacent to Foothills Park for the City-owned 85.37-acre parcel. The City declined the District’s offer because staff felt 85.37 acres for 66 acres was not an equitable exchange. Over the years, the District has continued to pursue the exchange of land with the City. In 1993, the District offered to construct a trail at the District’s expense, to make up the difference in value between the two parcels. As a consequence, the two properties were appraised in 1994. The properties were surveyed as part of the appraisal process, and it was discovered that the 66 acres of land the District was offering to trade was actually 39.10 acres. Both properties are zoned as open space, and it was the appraiser’s opinion that "in order for the properties to be utilized in any economically beneficial manner, a General Plan change would be required. Given that the intent of both the City and the District in acquiring these properties was to preserve open space, such a General Plan change would be unlikely. Because of these constraints, the highest and best use was established as open space, with no development potential." The City-owned parcel was appraised at $395,000 and the District parcel at $195,500. Again, the City declined the District’s offer to exchange the parcels because the $200,000 difference in value was far greater than the value of the trail construction. At the Council meeting of September 9, 1996, Council Member Simitian and Mayor Wheeler proposed to resolve the issue by directing that only the management responsibilities be exchanged. The Council unanimously approved the proposal, and staff was directed to pursue the concept of an exchange of oversight responsibilities for the two parcels, as opposed to exchange of fee title. DISCUSSION: Staff from both the District and the City have met and are proposing the exchange of management responsibilities be accomplished by approval of the two attached Property CMR:107:97 Page 2 of 4 Management Agreements. The 39.10-acre parcel (Agreement # 1) offered by the District, adjacent to Foothills Park, is proposed to be open to the general public, but it has limited access and should not have any major impact on Park resources. Conversely, public usage of parcel (Agreement #2) should increase, because it lies adjacent to the gateway to the District’s Monte Bello Road and the District owns property on three sides of the City-owned parcel. At the very least, District management of the City-owned parcel will help to eliminate confusion over ownership responsibilities. Therefore, staff is of the opinion that the public will be better served by the proposed management exchange. The Property Management Agreements are almost identical and very simple. The basic terms ofthe agreements are that the parties will hold each other harmless, provide insurance and either party can terminate the agreement with 30 days written notice. Fencing, signage and gates may be installed; any other improvements will require the owner’s written approval and both parties will be subject to the City’s normal review process for all improvements, including fencing, ’ gates and signage. The District has agreed to the terms and conditions of the Property Management Agreements and has executed both documents. ALTERNATIVES: An altemative to the exchange of management responsibilities would be for each party to continue to manage its own property. FISCAL IMPACT: None. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The Property Management Agreements represent a continuation of the same use of existing facilities; therefore, they carry a Class I existing facility exemption under Section 15301 of CEQA.
