Trail Identification Response from CNLM

We will be gps’ing the trails in the next month or so. We’ll send you a map when we’re done.
Also, the County has said (as per my previous emails) that you will first have to have some governmental entity (either the County of City of Carlsbad) to be willing to accept a Trail Easement on the property, which assumes long-term maintenance and liability of the trails. If either jurisdiction decides to accept a trail easement, they will have to have to see the maps, have a biological impact assessment prepared, public review and other items. That will lead to an amendment of the CE, if this needs to be done at all. In other words, if your group creates a trail easement footprint and mitigates for the impacts, the Trail Easement will be essentially removed from the Center’s management obligations and will not be part of the CE footprint. No public access will be allowed off-trail, so the CE language remains the same. That’s how I understand it, but it is confusing.
I still think you should set up a meeting with all the parties (City, County, us etc) so that you don’t waste time and get the exact direction of action from all the groups.

The problem here is that I was under the understanding that our flightline group wsa going to be involved in the trail identification. I even volunteered by e-mail. I think we are going to avoid missing a trail or two if we are involved.

I would like to see the proposed trail map prior to submitting to the proper authorities. I agree, CNLM doing this as the final authority may result in some trails being omitted/overlooked for whatever reason. The best way would be for all public user groups to provide input. A RideFlightline “Tiger Team” needs to assembled for this task.
