The property is currently being offered to Wildlife Agencies through bankruptcy settlement. Property Background: The property was the site of a Brodiaea filifolia preservation and transplantation as mitigation for the adjacent mobile home park development. The Environmental Trust was retained to perform preserve management on the property but has since gone bankrupt. Brodiaea filifolia is a Federally Threatened and State Endangered species and is listed as a Narrow Endemic species in the North County Multiple Habitat Conservation Plan (MHCP). The site is noted in the MHCP, HMP, and Biological Opinion as a critical population for the narrow endemic species. As such, preservation and management of the site in perpetuity is necessary for the City to maintain coverage of the species and be allowed to issue Incidental Take Permits for Brodiaea. Funding: No direct property acquisition costs due to the bankruptcy status. There is a small amount of the original endowment remaining from the bankruptcy settlement. Additional management funds could be available through Wildlife Agency grants and/or programs.

I'll be out of town this Friday, so won't be able to attend the meeting. However, I'd like to go on record as an advocate of preserving, enhancing, and maintaining El Salto water falls and the Buena Vista Creek Valley, and for establishing a trail linkage between Hidden Canyon park and El Salto. Thanks for all your efforts, including your willingness to hike the creek valley. Peace when possible!

Our chapparal is precious, as it only exists in a relatively tiny portion of the world. When it's gone, that's it! WHat can be done to save these few remaining acres?

We are one of the few S. California coastal towns that still actually has open space, and it is one of the things that makes Carlsbad special, & a desirable place to live and work. Please make the preservation of Carlsbad's open space a priority for 2007, and save its natural beauty for future generations. Sincerely, Tamara & Michael Goldsby (Carlsbad residents) From: Laura Emerick <laura.emerick@cox.net> To: <council@ci.carlsbad.ca.us> Date: 02/11/2007 8:00:52 AM Subject: Support for the Open Space Citizen's Committee Dear Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers, I am contacting you with the hope that you will support the hard work of the Open Space Citizen's Committee. San Diego County has reached a crisis stage - we can no longer ignore the long-term impacts of uncontrolled growth and poor planning done at the behest of developer profits. Collectively, all cities within San Diego County, and the County itself, have not been successful in maintaining quality of life issues for County residents, and this projectile will only become more exacerbated over time. This is why our existing open spaces and outdoor activity opportunities become more precious every year. In the past, entire hillsides disappeared in a single fiscal quarter. The prime locations for housing were developed decades ago. All that is left are the steeper slopes and river valleys. We need to turn our housing and development focus back into the land that has already been developed, and put a development moratorium on currently undeveloped land. This undeveloped land must be allowed to fully function in order to maintain the ecosystem which provides the oxygen that we breathe. The Open Space Citizen's Committee provides a vital tool for ensuring the quality of human life here. Please support their efforts.

It should be an ecotourism destination spot and could be if open space and trails were the focus of the city council instead of inappropriate coastal development.

From: "Becky Wilbanks" <bswdrgn@adelphia.net> To: <council@ci.carlsbad.ca.us> Date: 02/11/2007 1:43:48 PM Subject: To Whom it may concern, To Whom it may concern, I am a concerned citizen of San Diego. I am writing to you today because I am alarmed at the amount of destruction going on in our communities. Many of the current and proposed building projects are a waste of resources as well as damaging our open spaces. With the theart of global climate change now number one on the list of desasters that can devistate human kind and the Earth as a whole we need to be more responsible then ever with the resources we have. We do not need any more golf course but more wild spaces. Spaces that the wildlife can use as well as humans. San Diego has some of the most diverse wildlife in California and they balance an already shakey ecosystem. If they disappear so with the reason many people live here. Don't allow SD to become another LA. Thanks for your time, Becky Wilbanks From: "Paige DeCino" <pdecino@hotmail.com> To: <council@ci. carlsbad. ca.us> Date: 02/11/2007 10:57:06 AM Subject: Preserving open space Dear City Council, As a long time resident of this city, I urge you to preserve our open spaces as natural areas that can be used for walking, hiking and biking. This does not include a broader definition of open space that includes man-made sites like golf courses. The city has done too little, in my opinion, to preserve existing natural areas or restore areas to their natural state. Paige DeCino 4155 Skyline Rd.

It is rapidly disappearing and can never be renewed for simple joy in its beauty or for recreation in its midst. The City must take a leadership role in accomplishing this effort, which was voted to be a top priority by the citizens of Carlsbad. Unfortunately, to date, this has not been a priority of the City, which has favored, instead, the destruction of our natural landscape. Don't get soaked.

From: "Irvin Stafford" <istafford@roadrunner.com> To: <council@ci.carlsbad:ca.us> Date: 02/12/2007 2:24:47 PM Subject: Preservin open space Mayor Lewis and the City Council: Carlsbad is becoming a large city, and greater density is planned for the downtown area. Therefore, it is imperative that as much open space is preserved as possible. People need to be able to get away from traffic, congestion, and day to day frustrations by walking in a natural environment. The over health of people is improved when they walk and enjoy the beauty of the countryside. Open space cannot be duplicated when the natural environment is destroyed. Some land must be left to future generations. In the long run it is cost effective. More people will want to visit Carlsbad if it is a peaceful community. Most of all the residents will enjoy living here. At the community meeting I attended at Hope Elementary some time ago open space was high on everyone's list of priorities.

This is a wonderful city, but has gone through an explosion of growth over the last 5 years. Please put an end to it. Believe it or not, the people who live here are "tuckered-out" with this excessive building, traffic, and congestion. I live and own 2 homes in the city, and I'm actually at a point in my life where i'm thinking relocation is in order. It saddens me to thing this, because the city was such a treasure, but it's quickly slipping away to another un-original growth locale.
