HISTORY:
|
The purchase of the Mirada Surf property was completed in August 2003. The Mirada Surf Trail Concept Plan was completed in September 2004 after a series of public meetings. The Plan was developed to provide a recreational and commuter trail through the property as well as become a link in the California Coastal Trail.
|
|
|
The California Coastal Trail is envisioned as a continuous interconnected 1,100 mile long public trail system along the California coastline from Oregon to Mexico. The Trail system tries to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users, equestrians, and other non-motorized uses.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
The proposed Fall Phase of the project consists of installation of a prefabricated bridge, construction of 12’ wide paved trail with 2’ foot gravel shoulders, and installation of a bench, trash/recycling receptacles, and signage. The Fall Phase will complete approximately 140 feet of the 4/10 mile long Mirada Surf Coastal Trail.
|
|
|
Because of biological constraints, different phases of the project have different construction windows. The next phase will be constructed during the next construction season. This phase of the project needs to be completed between August 1st and October 15th. The limits for this phase of the project are shown on Exhibit “A”.
|
|
|
A Coastal Development Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration were approved and certified by the County Planning Commission in August 2005. A Notice of Determination was filed with the County Recorders Office September 27, 2005. A Cultural Resource Evaluation of the site has been conducted. It was found that no historic properties or cultural resources will be affected by this project.

We are now recommending that your Board authorize bidding for the proposed work.

A resolution has been approved as to form by County Counsel.
