Last revision in 11x 17 format was missing the town approved Palos Colorados trails. Issues related to heatfield

estates, and the last proposal for Painted Rock. The McClosker parcel and the Moraga Creek purchase by EBRPD

was not disclosed untill early April. This was presented to Council in Febuary. After researching the Palos Colorados

project, changes were made to reflect the next trails map. That urrently has not been overlayd with a Presentation

software due to mapping of additional Mcclosker Parcel and Moraga Creek Parcel announcement from the second

week in April.

Trails most names unknown at this time. Distance in Miles (mi) and Kilometers

(km) where relevant feet ‘ or ft and meters M. assumption is the Park and rec

commission will need to come up with a naming convention for trails, and that in

a far far away time the US may convert to the Metric System.

Last proposal for Painted Rock area as

proposed by the late Roger Points.

Potential trails in the painted Rock Area. Current

trail option in red would be replaced with the B St

Trail to Fayhill.

Moraga Trails NE Quadrant. Trails in green either exist, or have been approved by council action for future development. Trails in pink are opportunities for exploration but currently have no public easements. Some trails in pink may be removed from the final Moraga Trail Opportunity Map. Trail in Red currently exists, but has no easement and is possibly a sacrifice for other trails listed in the last Painted Rock proposal.

Hetfield Estates Project ???

On May 21 (year not listed) the Town Council voted to uphold the previous Planning Commission decision and approve the Vesting

Tentative Map, General Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Hillside Development Permit for the 7-lot Hetfield Estates

Project. The approval modified Conditions of Approval, providing more specific guidelines regarding the proposed fire trail (an unpaved,

16 foot access) on the project site. The fire trail would not be required at the time of project construction, but an easement would be

dedicated and money would be set aside for a 10-year period to fund the fire trail, should it be desired in the future. The Conditions also

call for studying an alternate alignment for the fire trail on an existing cleared Moraga-Orinda Fire District trail, which will be considered

during the Precise Development Plan at a future date. The Town Council also modified conditions to locate some parking spaces closer

to the proposed homes and not require street lighting.

Buckingham Trail (Moraga Rd to Fayhill)

note: not listed in last painted rock project

Both the 2004 Moraga Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the 2007 Parks and Recreation Master Plan recommend the development and improvement of the trail system in Town to connect neighborhoods and improve access to major destinations. This project will develop a trail from Moraga Road, located just south of the homes on the south side of Buckingham Drive, continuing easterly to connect to the proposed Rheem hiking trail near the EBMUD Fayhill Reservoir, approximately 0.4 mile.

Estimated Slope of Buckingham Trail

Right of way is largest obstical to the creation of this path. In the last Painted Rock Project, this trail

appears to have been excluded, while others were added.

Buckingham Trail Estimated Elevation

Profile. 0.40 mi 0.64km

Both the 2004 Moraga Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the 2007 Parks and … This project will complete the trail from the Library on St. Mary's Road, through the Commons Park, continuing around the backside of the park, past the disc golf course, joining the paved trail along Moraga Road, approximately 0.2 mile.

It appears that this trail is a completed unpaved path, based on the description. Currently it is

about .2 miles from the Library, the paved portion of the trail from the library is approximately

.10 mi and the unpaved portion of the path is approximately .18 miles. The total length is

about .19 miles. The slop drop is due to a graphical human error with gps device.

Heritage Trail appears to be a

complete unpaved path based on

the description from the master

plan.

The anomaly of the 13 foot stumble is a graphic error..

16

Rheem Trail last discussed during a park and rec meeting of April 2016 and filed under the unfunded projects report of 2016

2017. Appears to have been approved by the MTC with the Rancho Laguna 2 project of 2015 and appears to be in

development in conjunction with the housing project. this appears to be scheduled for completion in the near future.

Photo of EBRPD open workshop map: of the future parks of: McClosker Parcel off of Edgewood Dr in Orinda,

and its companion Moraga Creek Open Space. This shows the Canyon proposed entrance. IF you look closely

you may notice that one trail in the proposed Moraga Creek preserve comes 170 meters from Augusta Dr in

Moraga. Future planning documents may wish to consider this trail possibility.
