SUBJECT: ~ AGREEMENT FOR SP~LtTH CREEK PAThtiVAY -/ ,,A~ ~~ ~ '
DATE: AUGUST 1, 1974 ~ ~ ~~ . fj„~
`~ ~ ~~,.
G~~ a~yw
The Plannin Commission in its a
g , pproval of Tract No. 5506 ~~ ~~~
(English Oakes), required the developer to construct a pedes-
Irian/equestrian pathway from the northerly boundary of his ~/
development (vicinity of Bicknell Road and Montclair Road) to p~• ~ ~
t'ne Town's Ra.nconada Park Site. The location of this trail ,_ ~ ~, e
is ad'acent to Smith Creek on ro ert owned in f b t ~ •'
~ p p y ee y he
Santa Clara Va 11ey Water District (their Rinconada Water
Treatment Plant site)..
Tn reply to our request for permission to install this path-•'
way,. the District staff 'has indicated they would recommend
approval and have prepared the attached lease :agreement for
this purpose. As you will, note, the lease is f ox a 25-year
period, renewable for an additional 25 years. However, 't is
cancellable upon one year written .notice by either party., The
Town is required to hold the District harmless and provide
supplemental liability insurance on the ,property ..included in
the lease. The District reserves the right of final approval
of plans for the proposed improvements.
The Town Attorney and I have reviewed the proposed lease, and
even though we find some of the proposed conditions=as des-
cribsd above, to be somewhat objectionable, we recognize the
.District's desire to protect itself from additional liability.
It is therefore recommended t'nat the Toam Council, at their
' meeting of A~lgust 5, 1974,. authorize t'ne Mayor and Town Clerk
to execute the proposed agreement.
