January 17, 1995
FROM: William M. Huber, Director of Engineering and Building
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution Accepting Peppertree Bend Recreational Trail Access
Agreement, Tract 10593, Lots A, B and C (Bear Brand Ranch)
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution accepting the Peppertree Bend Recreational Trail Access Agreement,
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement, and directing the City Clerk to
record the Agreement.
SITUATION:
A. Summary and Recommendation
The Bear Brand Ranch Homeowners Association has approved an Access Agreement for the
Peppertree Bend Recreational Trail. This Agreement was requested by the Equestrian
Commission to ensure continued public access to the trail. Staff recommends acceptance of
the Agreement.
B. Background
Tract 10593, the Peppertree Bend section of Bear Brand Ranch, was developed while the
property was within County jurisdiction. The County required the developer to install the
subject trail as it is part of the County Master Plan of Riding and Hiking Trails. The trail is
within Lots A, B and C of Tract 10593, open space lots owned by the Bear Brand Ranch
HOA. The trail was never dedicated to the County. Upon completion of the development
and the trail, Tract 10593 was incorporated into the City. A Use Agreement was then
submitted to the City by the developer. However, the signatures were not notarized and the
document could not be recorded. By the time this was discovered, the property had been
transferred to the HOA which was reluctant to approve subsequent agreements. Staff has
worked with the present HOA in creating the subject Agreement. This section of trail will
ensure access to the main trail system by residents of Peppertree Bend, Paseo de la Paz, Cook
Lane/Calle Roberto, Avenida Evita and Via Estelita. Easements exist that will allow the trail
to be developed to the west of the city limits, within Laguna Niguel. Acceptance of this
Agreement will allow for future vacation of an unimproved, parallel trail easement downhill
from the subject easement. The parallel easement, once known as the Sacarama Trail, has
missing links and has been encroached upon by fencing and landscaping installed by the
underlying property owners.
