San Marcos Ridgeline Task Force members Randy Walton, left, Larry Osen, Darrell Gentry, and Jim Hernandez, ask questions of City of San Marcos director of planning, Jerry Backoff, right, in the parking lot of Twin Oaks Golf Course as they look at Owens Peak. The San Marcos City Council, in response to residents' concerns over the city's ridgelines being destroyed by development, declared a moratorium on such development and appointed a 10-member task force to come up with recommendations on how the city can preserve its existing primary and secondary ridgelines. The task force, traveling in a van toured the city's various ridgelines all morning on Saturday.--Laura Embry/Union-Tribune
