BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In considering a request by Hofmann
Company for maintenance of an area along Highway 4, the M-8 Citizens
Advisory Committee has made attempts to determine if CalTrans would
accept this responsibility. The County does not maintain landscaping
when it is in the State right-of-way. Several attempts by Ed Cornell,
Chairman of the M-8 Board, to contact CalTrans have been successful.
Assemblyman Phil Isenberg has indicated that Highway 4 ;has
been designated a scenic highway by the state. I concur with Mr.
Cornell' s assessment that the -subject section of road fronting the
Discvoery Bay subdivision should be maintained by Caltrans given its
scenic designation.
