The location of the park as shown on the map is probably the best site in Forest Ranch for a park. Maybe the Forest Ranch Association wouldbe a good vehicle for community ownership of the park. 1 feel thin is a well-plannedi environmentally sound development, and it benefits everyone in Forest Ranch. - The alternative is to bury our heads in the sand and gamble that future owners of this property will have the community interest in mind when they develop it. No donut, it will be developed. This land won't continue indRfinitely as a`aini� wilderness park. 41 ., is zoning�eprit+t for development that is in the best neighb�nring properties?

We. realize that you have many commitm,,Ats but we would certainly appreciate your being with us at this meeting Yours sincerely, l 1 9 i ,. 101 A MESSAGE OF IMPORTANCE TO THE FOREST RANCH COMMUNITY + I awl Over tote past several year v she subjectof a non-profit Forest Ranch, Community'%')rganization has been discussed. However, nothing definite has been done`. Recent events have made it advisable to seriously consider the desirability of such an organization. The reduced funding for County services by the passage of Proposition 13 and the very probable passing of Proposition 9 make inevitable curtailment of County funds for essential service's and projects. With m anyareas vying for available funds, it is incumbent upon us to speak with one voice and with the authority of a recognized community body. While we are assured the Forest Ranch School will not, at this time, be closed, a decision has not yet been made as to whether a temporary building will be made available to accommodate -expanding enroltmentur whether students will be bussed to Chino. Cuts in funds available to the County Sheriff has neces- sitated the withdrawal of the deputy previously assigned to this area. It may Well happen that we will have to develop a volunteer security watch manned by our own people. While we have -made great strides in Fire Protection through the leadership of Grover Jones; much remains to be done. A water tanker is presently an urgent requirement to provide water to the existing pumpers. A continuing concern is that future residential and commercial development be primarily involved with the long-term health of residents and livability of the area as a whole. We are especially concerned that septic systems and under-, ground water be &�Veloped within environmental limits ;so to ensure the future enjoyment of the natural beauty of this rural mountain s rea. With the encouragement of our County Supervisor repiresentative, Hilda Wheeler, a grOup of concerned citizens is doing some preliminary planning toward the formation of a Fore,,�,Ranch Comm unity Organization.; A study is being made of the Durham and Joh-asset community organizations to determine what type of plan would best serve tie particular interests of ou'r community, There are presently 'several organi: rA in Forest Ranch,, the 'Noimen's Club, the Volunteer Fire Department the #t,Teacher Organization, and the Ce'nyetary Associatibnj performing m jd community services. However, bone of these organizations speak for the commiinityi as a whole. A need exists for the formation of a community organization that represents the general + intereste of our community, Traditionally, the community of Forest Ranch has been noted for Its unique ' qualities of neighborliness'and independehce. In order to preserve ,these values we must join together toassure our t needs aregivenconsideration by governmental authorities at the County and 'Sac l It is anticipated that a public meeting Witt be called in the near future to At thmendations Will. be made for discuss plans for anarganization is time recom` the type ofcommunity organization tie eded and the electioh6tofficers conducted+ needed, 'It would be appreciated if r suggestions and recot-mbendations are This �s your organization: Your pp y vrotild complete the attached questionnaire and return it to P.O, Boit 381, You are urged to submit your vievis regarding these issues, feel that Forest Ranch net, a 1• Do you commura"ty g or asixatian,? an you willing to Support such 2• Are Y time and talent? orga�zation with y our C3 13 3e Do you foresee the need :of a community 'which would cel.�er in Forest Ranch provide space far social affairs, athletics► ious activities? assbl relig scoutIng and p Y feel that our isolation maces 4' Do you polite surveillance? advisablei increased fire protection C3 5� ?Do you think that our pres,`nt ? is adequate? a reduced speed zone is 6.
