and left the Council Chamber due to a possible conflict of
interest. -

development of the Shea trail. The hearing was set by
Council action on April 7, 1992.

Report dated May 5, 1992, from the Director of Engineering
and Building, recommending that the easement be vacated, the
irrevocable offers quitclaimed, and the $15,000 contribution
from the three property owners accepted.
The Director of Engineering and Building made an oral
presentation.
Councilman Harris expressed concern that the City could lose
its access to the ridgeline trail once the Wish -Moore
easement was abandoned if the temporary alternate trail
through the Shea property was later removed. Mr. Huber
stated that when Shea Homes eventually develops its property,
the equestrian trail may become a permanent alignment through
negotiations with the City. Councilman Friess stated that
the costs in retaining the easement would not be warranted in
that there are existing structures in the path of the trail.
He suggested that the City continue to discuss the dedication
of a permanent easement with Shea Homes.
Public Hearing:
Notice having been given as required by law, Mayor Jones
opened the Public Hearing, and the following persons respon-
ded:
(1) John Marsden, Via Inez, expressed concern that trails in
the City are not being sufficiently expanded and
requested assurance that the subject trail would be made
permanent for access to the ridgeline and the Peppertree
Bend Trail.
Mr. Sievers noted that the subject vacation would have
no impact on the accessibility to the Peppertree Bend
portion of the trail system and noted physically
problems with construction of the trail as currently
dedicated.
(2) Elaine Scott, Mission Viejo, stated that she boards
horses in the City. She expressed concern that the Shea
Trail would eventually be deleted and inquired about its
future accessibility.
Mr. Sievers advised that two thirds of the trail has
been cleared, with minor grading and fencing left to be
done. He felt that the trail would be accessible by
mid-July 1992.

There being no further input, the hearing was declared closed
with the right to reopen at any time.
Mr. Julian noted that the City could use its power of eminent
domain in negotiations with Shea Homes to ensure that the
trail becomes a permanent easement. He felt that Shea Homes
would be receptive to keeping the trail and would cooperate
with the City and the County.
