1 <br /> MORSE RANCH <br /> PROPOSED OFF -LEASH DOG AREA <br /> A downscaled off leash dog area is proposed for the Morse Ranch Park. The <br /> proposal comes following further staff consideration of previous public tes- <br /> timony, responding particularly to comment that the stream and adjacent <br /> marshy areas be kept off limits, and that fencing along original fencelines <br /> be reestablished. • <br /> On the accompanying drawing the perimiter fencing for corrals and pasture are <br /> shown in their 1974 locations. Existing or proposed points of access are <br /> also shown. Fencing along these lines that are non - existent, almost 900 <br /> feet, would be replaced according to the original style. Portions of the <br /> remaining 800 feet of fencing around the off -leash area are in need of refur- <br /> bishing. The actual amount needed to enclose the off -leash area is approxi- <br /> mately 600 feet. <br /> A new fence is proposed west of the stream, set back 15 to 50 feet and run- <br /> ning approximately parallel to it. An objective of this fence is that it be <br /> of the lowest possible visual impact. Accordingly, it is proposed to have a <br /> light wire fabric (notice fabric from distance at Amazon Park off -leash area) <br /> attached to green painted steel posts . For structural reasons, corner and <br /> end posts would be of pressure treated wood. A gate of sufficient width to <br /> allow passage of farming equipment would be provided at the culverted creek <br /> crossing. Total length of this fence would be about 650 feet. <br /> The area created would be closer in size to other dog park sites being estab- <br /> lished, be confined to better draining terrain, and offer a variety of sun <br /> and shaded space. <br /> 5/6/92 <br /> _t <br />
