Written Communication: q\
Report dated December 16, 1997 from the Director of Engineering and Building,
recommending adoption of a Resolution approving a Recreational Trail Maintenance
Agreement, Lots 26-30, Tract 6381 (Stoneridge Estates). The Report indicated that the
owners of Lot 26, Tract 6381, had requested abandonment of the feeder trail which bisects
their property. The property owners of Lots 27 and 28, who both benefit from the trail,
requested that the easement remain and had executed an agreement to assume filture
maintenance of the trail.
Mr. Huber, Director of Engineering and Building, made an oral presentation noting that the
City would agree to maintain the trail for one year and perform repairs before the property
owners' acceptance of the easement. He further noted that the owner of Lot 26 had agreed
to the assumption of maintenance by the owners of Lots 27 and 28.
Adoption of Resolution:
It was moved by Council Member Greiner, seconded by Council Member Swerdlin, that the
following Resolution be adopted:

TO: George Scarborough, City Manager
FROM: William M. Huber, Director of Engineering and Building
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Recreational Trail Maintenance
Agreement, Lots 26-30, Tract 6381 (Stoneridge Estates)
RECOMMENDATION:
By Motion:
Approve the Resolution.
2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Resolution and Agreement.
Direct the City Clerk to forward the Agreement to the Orange County Recorder's
Office.
SITUATION:
A. Summary and Recommendation:
Mr. and Mrs. William Arsenault, owners of Lot 26, Tract 6381, requested abandonment of
the subject feeder trail (Attachment 1, Location Map) which bisects their property. The trail
benefits (serves) two properties, Lot 27 (Pickett) and Lot 28 (Jannard). Both benefiting
property owners requested that the easement remain and have executed the subject
Agreement thereby assuming future maintenance of the trail. The Parks, Recreation and
Equestrian Commission and Staff recommend adoption of the subject Resolution approving
the Recreational Trail Maintenance Agreement.
B. Background:
This Agenda Item deals with the issue of maintenance responsibility for a feeder trail in the
Stoneridge Estates development. The feeder trail is presently a public easement dedicated to
the City. Staff has determined that the City is responsible for long-term maintenance of this
feeder trail. However, since it only serves a small number of private property owners, the Cty
Staff and the Parks, Recreation and Equestrian Commission have attempted in this Item to
reduce the City trail maintenance obligation through a Cooperation Agreement as outlined
below, with the directly affected private lot owners.
0 9
AGENDA ITEM -2- December 16,1997
The subject trail traverses Lots 26 (Arsenault), 29 (Larsen) and 30 (Cunningham). All three
of those properties have immediate access to the General Plan trail and do not benefit from
the subject feeder trail.
The Parks, Recreation and Equestrian Commission reviewed the abandonment request at their
September 1996 and April and May 1997 meetings. The Commission and Staff reviewed the
site to determine the feasibility of re-routing the trail. It was determined that, due to
topography, the existing route is the most feasible.
The Commission also requested Staff research maintenance responsibility and repair costs.
Because feeder trails usually access a small number of parcels, the Municipal Code was
amended in 1984 to require homeowners Associations to maintain feeder trails (Section 9-
4.106 (5) (a) (b) (c)). However, the maintenance responsibility policy was not in effect when
the Covenants, Coditions & Restrictions for Stoneridge Estates were created. Unaware of
this, in 1993, Staff field reviewed the trail system within Stoneridge Estates with the property
management company. At that time it was agreed the Stoneridge Estates Homeowners
Association (SEHOA) would maintain the subject feeder trail.
Since that trail review, the City has been under the assumption that the feeder trail was being
maintained by the SEHOA. However, after the September 1996 Parks, Recreation and
Equestrian meeting Staff received notice from the SEHOA legal counsel that they are not
responsible for, and will not accept maintenance of, the trail because no legal obligation was
ever imposed on the SEHOA to maintain the trail. Staff has since reviewed the CC & R's and
concluded it cannot disagree with this position. It does not appear that the feeder trails in
Stoneridge have been maintained since the 1993 field review.
In addition, the City Attorney has reviewed this Association's CC & R's and also concluded
that when the SEHOA was formed feeder trail maintenance obligations were not imposed
on the Association.
Since two property owners desired that the trail remain, three scenarios were explored:
The City would clear the trail but leave it unimproved. However, this would leave the
underlying property owners in limbo regarding what improvements could be installed
within the unused easement area of their property and eliminate a defined trail
connection for the benefiting property owners, Pickett and Jannard.
2. The City would improve and maintain the trail. The Commission felt this was an
unfair burden on the City as the trail only serves two properties.
3. The City would improve the trail with an agreement whereby the benefiting property
owners would assume all future maintenance.
AGENDA ITEM -3- December 16,1997
After considered study and discussion by Staff and Commission, it was concluded that an
equitable approach to the question of future maintenance of this feeder trail involve limited,
up front, improvement of the deteriorated condition to the present trail by City with future
maintenance undertaken by the two immediately benefiting private property owners, namely
Jannard and Pickett. Therefore, Staff has negotiated an agreement with those owners which
provide in concept as follows:
a. City shall repair the existing feeder trail deficiencies (i.e., fencing, overgrown
vegetation, etc.) and maintain the trail for a period of one year;
b. Estimated cost of this obligation is approximately $6,400;
C. Property Owners shall mutually share in the financial obligation to maintain
the feeder trail thereafter in perpetuity. This obligation will run with the title
to their land. The owners are further required to maintain appropriate liability
insurance.
Staff believes that this is an equitable solution to balancing the cost of feeder trail maintenance
against the benefits of continuing a viable equestrian trail system in this area.
This item was reviewed at the Parks, Recreation and Equestrian Commission meetings of September
1996 and April and May of 1997 meetings. The Commission recommended improvement of the trail
subject to recordation of a Maintenance Agreement by the benefiting property owners.
)FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Cost to clear trail (completed): $ 600
Cost to refence trail: $6,400
One year of maintenance: $ 150
The above funds are available from Account No. 12-65300-7704-459, Trail Improvement Fund.
