Dear Mr. Schuchat:

I was contacted by Neil Fishman of the Conservancy to get a response to the offer from Mary Mitsui for a trail easement across her property on Sonoma Mountain.

Although the existing County General Plan adopted in 1989 does not show a trail across Sonoma Mountain, the Draft Outdoor Recreation Plan, prepared by the Regional Parks Department does show a trail crossing Sonoma Mountain from Petaluma to Jack London State Park. The actual alignment of the trail has not yet been determined, but the proposal from Mary Mitsui could provide a corridor that could be explored for possible future trail development.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Philip Sales
