(SR99: 127) k. Accept for normal maintenance the public improvements for Hidden Oak, Tract 6902 and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion for the subject project. (SR99:128) Ms. Ayala asked for an update on the trail adjacent to this subdivision. Randall Lum said the trail has become very complicated. The project is to construct a path along the Arroyo del Valle between Main Street and Harvest Circle. Prior to 1995 there was a passable trail available and the project was to place an asphalt overlay over the existing trail. In 1998, during E1 Nino, a modest portion of the trail washed away. In addition, Fish and Game is requiring the trail to be a concrete path and the railroad is imposing strict requirements for going underneath the railroad trestle. These requirements have increased the cost of the project significantly, particularly the portion from the railroad trestle to Harvest Circle. The portion between the railroad trestle and Main Street, Hidden Oaks has contributed $33,000, which is sufficient to construct a concrete path for that portion of the trail. Staff believes the trail can be constructed to weather a storm in the future. The other portion, from the railroad on, staff is · ~* reviewing altemates with the railroad to accommodate its needs and still cost effectively stabilize the part that washed away. Even though Hidden Oaks has contributed money, staff is looking at whether it is feasible to continue the trail. Ms. Ayala would like to see the trail completed in its entirety. She asked if landscaping was required to go from the trail to the project to the top of the fence. Mr. Lure believed the contract was just to construct in the trail. He will check on the landscaping. 1.

Mr. Lum said staff worked to verify that all the required landscaping is in place and that conditions of approval are satisfied. The landscaping is not yet fully mature. Ms. Ayala said a photograph showed at the time of approval which shielded the project from public view. She has not seen any landscaping. Pleasanton City Council 3 05/18/99 Minutes
