be constructed from the ends of"Court C"and the Lund Ranch Road to provide access to the two estate lots proposed as part of this project. The project plans designate the majority of the Lund Ranch property for open space uses. Approximately 161 acres(83%)of the site would be dedicated for public open space use, while 11.1 acres of the two estate lots would be undeveloped private open space area. The public open space would be owned by the City and maintained by either the City of the development's homeowners' association (HOA). The project also provides access to the public open space with the development of trails that would extend from the ends of Sunset Creek Lane, Sycamore Creek Way, and the proposed Lund Ranch Road extension. The trails would generally follow an existing unpaved road from the western side of the property, cross the site's creek east of the proposed Lund Ranch subdivision, and climb to ridges on the eastern and northern portions of the subject property. The trails would end at the Foley property on the eastern edge of the project site and at its boundary with the Bonde Ranch property on the north. The latter trail terminus is proposed to connect with a trail that crosses the Bonde Ranch property. The proposed project would be responsible only for trail construction on Lund Ranch property and for a short trail section(approximately 300 feet)that traverses the City's water reservoir site at the end of Sycamore Creek Way. The proposed Trail Plan includes the construction of a foot bridge across the site's creek channel immediately east of the future Lund Ranch Road cul-de-sac.
