~~ -~ ~ ~'" . . ... 114 Pictures of the problem areas were passed around to the Commission. Commissioners and staff made several suggestions. The Mr. Weeks asked if the Task Force had permission from University representatives to cross the State College property. Mr. Mikesell stated that they did not have this permission and did not believe that it had ever been requested. Mr. Weeks stated that the Commission has been interested in the property for some time. He further indicated the Fire Department has been working with the State Forestry peopl~, the Woodside Fire District, and the University representatives to secure the State College Site from access as much as possible for its protection from fire and abandoned vehicles. New fencing and new lighting will be added around the PG&E Station. If the entrance across the right-of-way were granted, access would still be necessary across the State College property. It was suggested that access across the State College Site be resolved. Discussion then centered around the encroachment permit which is a requirement of the State Highway Department. The permit was submitted to the San Mateo County Attorney who indicated it would cost the County $3,000 just to have the proper permit drafted. Issues such as insurance and liability enter into the picture. The County Parks & Recreation Commission was requested to accept responsibility for the permit. This has not yet been settled; however, further efforts are being made to resolve this issue. Mr. Mikesell requested the Commission's support of the Equestrian's efforts to provide a safe crossing at highway 280 and thanked the Commission for the opportunity to give his presentation. In that Mr. Mikesell was to attend another meeting and had to leave, Chairman Knecht-_-~ thanked him for his presentation and indicated the Commission would make a decision prior to the close of the meeting. AGENDA ITEM 2 - Review of Master Sitye Pla~s - Dolyhin and Marlin Park Areas Mr. Weeks introduced Mr. Donald Smith and Mr. Russ Dixon from Recreation Land Planners. A few changes have been made since the Committee's last report. Maps were displayed for clarity. Mr. Weeks indicated that there were four basic areas involved entitled Dolphin I, II and II and Marlin II Parks. Dolphin III is near the bridge. It was pointed out that the basic concept for this area is landscaping some mounding and turf areas with a path network which connects with the landscaped area to the north of the bridge. This is basically an area for passive use. There will be a small seating area and a small dock fac- ility, which will offer an access point from the water (lagoon area). It was indicated that the lighting under the bridge is a problem. Mr. Weeks stated this would be investigated with the Public Works Department. However, it is not being proposed in this particular park development to install lights under the bridge, except perhaps in concert with the Public Works Department in order to get some light under the bridge. This was suggested by the residents. The Doiphin I and II areas will be landscaped down to Quay Lane and a path system (gravel type) will be designed.
