Summary of Trails Subcommittee Actions
June 1, 2012
ACTION: TS Chair Bowman will report back to the GavPAC that the TS recommend no further
trails changes in the Las Varas Ranch area.
ACTION: Motion by Feeney, seconded by McGinnis, to add policy requiring future lateral and
vertical access to be planned in such a way as to avoid the harbor seal haulout area in the
proximity of Tomate Canyon, with consideration of a bluff top alignment as an alternative.
Motion approved 4-0.
ACTION: Motion by Bowman, seconded by McGinnis, to maintain the existing PRT lines along
the coast at Hollister Ranch and add policy narrative directing continued dialog with willing
property owners to explore managed public access and recreation options.
Motion approved 3-0, Boise-Cossart recused.
TS Meeting 14, March 20, 2012
ACTION: Motion by Bowman, seconded by McGinnis, applicable to the stretch of coast from the
western boundary of Hollister Ranch property to the northwest edge of the Plan Area, to accept
the existing PRT map lines. Recognize the unique value of the area and support negotiations
between willing landowners, the county and other agencies to explore options for future trails.
Motion passed unanimously.
TS Meeting 13, March 5, 2012
ACTION: Motion by Feeney, seconded by McGinnis to recommend that one additional trail route
be created between El Capitan State Park and the eastern planning area boundary, with the
intent of achieving one additional vertical trail to West Camino Cielo. For this trail alignment,
routes on the Dos Pueblos Ranch route or the Farren Road route will be reviewed and one
selected as the best achievable route. The route will generally follow along property lines
between the Parsons, Dryfus and Dos Pueblos land holdings. The unused route will be
abandoned from further trails planning.
Remove the previously proposed trails connector between the Dos Pueblos and Farren Road
routes.
Add a potential trail alignment north of the highway between the western edge of Santa Barbara
Ranch and the plan boundary along the north side of Calle Real.
ACTION: Motion by McGinnis, seconded by Feeney, to adjust the existing ridge top PRT map
line to generally follow existing boundary boundaries between the Young American’s and
adjacent southern properties, primarily following the existing road and keeping to previously
disturbed areas. Include a narrative discussing the potential to connect to existing trails
easements as an alternative. Motion passed 3-0.
TS Meeting 12, February 22, 2012
ACTION: Motion by Feeney, seconded by Boise-Cossart, to remove the existing Gaviota to
Nojoqui Falls PRT line from the proposed trails map. The motion was approved unanimously.
