Appendix C. Public Involvement Program
facilities would be developed to allow for year-round horse rental as well as possible boarding of
privately owned horses. Specific facilities have not fully been determined and may better be
addressed during implementation, though potential concessions will be included in the general
plan.
Steve Pearl again commented that it is essential to address the dangerous intersection of SR 152
and Dinosaur Point Road.
Sam Halsted commented that the development and planning of SR 152 originally included an
interchange at Dinosaur Point Road. This interchange was eventually dropped, and the right-ofway
that had been acquired by Caltrans relinquished, due to low use in the area and low Caltrans
priority. This indicates that Caltrans is aware of the dangers at this intersection, and that there is a
possibility of working with Caltrans to make some degree of improvement.
Chet Vogt commented that the planning process must regard biodiversity as a highest priority at
Pacheco State Park, as is detailed in Paula Fatjo's will. Because the park's lands have been
continuously grazed for two hundred years, grazing is a necessary component of preserving the
land and its existing biodiversity. Grazing should be maintained as a priority to keep the land
healthy and natural. Donna and Dave Gould responded that grazing is currently included in each
alternative at least as a grazing management option, and that DPR is currently conducting studies
to determine its benefit to biodiversity.
Gary Florence asked what alternatives have been included for park maintenance facilities and
equipment at Pacheco State Park. Currently, Gary added, facilities and equipment are extremely
limited; there is no space to carry out simple tasks such as cutting a board, and such tasks are
currently done on the backs of workers' trucks. Donna answered that the need for additional
maintenance facilities and equipment has been acknowledged and discussed, but that specific
needs and alternatives have not yet been developed. Maintenance facilities and equipment will be
included in the Administrative and Operations Zone, and there is the possibility of an enclosed
work/maintenance building.
Specific management and development activities under each alternative are shown in the attached
Pacheco State Park Draft Alternatives Table and the attached maps of each alternative.
Finally, Donna asked the attendees to review the tables and maps posted on the walls and tables
around the room, and to make comments using stickers and post-it notes. She asked people to
review the maps for each alternative, read through the alternatives tables posted, and ask her or
the parks staff any questions they might have, then to mark their favored alternatives with the
colored tabs provided. In addition, she asked that specific comments be included on post-it notes
or written on the smaller printouts of the tables and returned to the parks office by mail or by
hand.
Open House
Following the presentation, attendees reviewed the maps and tables provided and asked questions,
marked their favored elements of each Alternative, and made comments on the post-it notes
provided. Approximately 20 copies of the Alternatives tables were distributed for further review
and commenting.
Conclusions & Next Steps
After receiving mailed-in comments, EDAW and DPR staff will work to finalize the planning
