DESCRIPTION At the City Council meeting of January 28 , 1985 , the
City Council requested that the Park & Recreation Commission conduct a
public hearing to solicit public comment regarding the trail system proposed
in the Zone 7 Final Arroyo Management Plan .
The public hearing was held at the February 12 , 1985 meeting of the Park &
Recreation Commission. Adjacent property owners were notified by mail .
There were approximately 30 property owners in attendance as well as Vince
Wong, Staff Engineer, Alameda County Flood Control District .
The areas of comment/concern are summarized as follows :
1 . Location of Trails
Property owners backing up to present Zone 7 maintenance roads were not
in favor of the development of the trails system. There was also
concern as to why the maintenance roads located adjacent to Village
Parkway were not included in the plan.
2 . Security
The proposed trails system would be difficult to patrol and adjacent
property owners were concerned with the security of their property .
3 . Maintenance
The burden of maintaining the trail system would be placed on the City .
The consensus was that the monies )needed to maintain the trails could
be better spent elsewhere .
4 • Liability
Legal liability would be assumed by the City with the Alameda Flood
Control District absolving themselves of any legal responsibility .
The Park & Recreation Commission recommended that the property owners
comments/concerns be transmitted to the City Council with no recommendation.
It is Staff ' s recommendation that the City Council notify Zone 7 of its
opposition to the development of trails adjacent to those Zone 7 facilities
within the City of Dublin , due to the additional security and maintenance
expenses which would be incurred by the City.
