TRACT 9390, PARCEL 5A
(85) Don Markowski, 32022 Paseo de Alessandro, read a letter dated
January 18, 1978, from Norma Leach, citing opposition to the
conclusions reached by the Bear Brand Ranch Access Study
Committee in recommending that access be provided to the
County development through City streets. Mrs. Leach
recommends that the Committee be reconvened for further
review. Mr. Markowski also presented copies of the
following: County Transportation Map dated July, 1977;
an unidentified map of the Bear Brand Ranch area; Copies
of 10 pages of petitions signed by residents of Sun Ranch
-1- 1/18/78
in October, 1977, in opposition to extensions of Calle
Aspero or Calle Ricardo; and, a letter to residents dated
October 29, 1977, from Robert O. Hill, developer of Bear
Brand Ranch.
Jack Smith, 25921 Calle Ricardo, Sun Ranch, addressed the
Council regarding ownership of the Bear Brand Ranch property.
Mr. Smith referred to a Capistrano Valley News article dated
November 30, 1977, and stated that if the City allows access
to Peppertree Bend Road, the County will open additional roads.
Ernest Chapman, 25961 Calle Aspero, Meisner Tract, advised
that the Committee had designated access through three City
streets so that the burden of traffic would be more equitably
distributed. Mr. Chapman noted concerns with construction
traffic and noise until Crumrine Road is completed. With
regard to Calle Aspero being designated as a commuter street,
it was noted that 7 or 8 driveways do not permit forward
exit to the street and that Aspero provides the sole
vehicular and equestrian access to the Meisner Tract.
Mr. Chapman inquired if Sacarama Road could serve as an
equestrian trail to provide a means of getting to other
horseback riding areas.
Council requested that the Equestrian Commission report on
the possible use of Sacarama Road as an equestrian trail.

between Alipaz Street and Del Obispo, noted that funding
of Phase 3 of the proposed drain is not included in the

and ponding.
Council requested that a review of the entire matter be
placed on the next Agenda.

the Council in support of adoption of an ordinance which

of the Bear Brand Ranch Access Study Committee submitted to

Planning and Development advised that further information

and unanimously carried to remove the item from the table
and to direct that a report be placed on the Agenda of
February 1, 1978, provided that information is received
from the developer in sufficient time to allow completion
of a staff report prior to packet distribution; otherwise,
the report is to be on the February 15th Agenda.
Council requested that in addition to investigation of
assurances that City recommendations will be carried out
by the developer, the report include conditions for comple-
tion of Crumrine Road, a reaction to concerns regarding
access through Peppertree Bend to any development in County
territory beyond Bear Brand Ranch, property ownership, the
