Summary
Lake County and their consultant, HELIX Environmental Planning are seeking public input for the proposed 584-acre John T. Klaus Community Park located northwest of the California State Route (SR) 20 and SR 53 intersection. The property was deeded to the County as part of the John T. Klaus Trust along with the condition that one-third of the land at the rear of the property be used as a refuge for wildlife, and the remaining two-thirds developed for youth sporting and athletic facilities. An initial site review and biological constraints analysis has been completed for the property. The County and HELIX have conducted the first of two public meetings to gather ideas as to the desired features and amenities for the park. This information will then be used to develop conceptual park plans for future review and comment by the public. In addition to the information gathered during the public meetings, the County is providing the following online survey for those unable to attend or wishing to provide additional input. Any questions or comments can also be directed to the Parks Recreation and Trails Division at parks@lakecountyca.gov.
