City Attorney Steve Mattas was directed to draft the letter to Palo Alto for the Mayor's <br /> approval and signature. The letter would permit the City Council to be on the record prior <br /> • to any action taken by Palo Alto. Mattas advised the Council that if Palo Alto should <br /> chose not to reopen the comment period and Council had a desire to object to the EIR he <br /> would explain the procedural steps and process for Council in Closed Session. <br /> Council recessed at 8:40 p.m. <br /> Council reconvened to the Regular Meeting at 8:55 p.m. <br /> 5.3 Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Sport Field Ad Hoc Committee Status Report <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Kerr reported that resident Brad Lyman, a participant on the Los <br /> Altos/Los Altos Hills Sport Field Ad Hoc Committee, was currently developing cost <br /> estimates for field maintenance and a feasibility study of parent funding to improve the <br /> quality of the Los Altos sports fields. Kerr noted that he expected the Committee to <br /> return to Council when the study was completed. <br /> Councilmember Jones clarified that the issues of field maintenance and field <br /> improvements were not concerns of the Los Altos Hills Council, but were the <br /> responsibility of Los Altos and the Los Altos School District. The expectation of the <br /> Committee was that the Town of Los Altos Hills would participate by adding additional <br /> field capacity. <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS <br /> 6.1 Discussion of Temporary Fence Height Variance—Process and Solutions; <br /> Lands of Breier <br /> Planning Director Carl Cahill explained that the Town had received a request from its <br /> rear yard neighbor to retain the existing privacy fence that was installed during <br /> construction for screening until the landscaping had matured and would mitigate their <br /> view of Town Hall. Cahill added that staff was recommending the purchase of the <br /> existing fence at an estimated cost of$600.00. This would permit the Town to remove <br /> the fence when it was deemed appropriate. Cahill noted that a variance would not be <br /> required to accommodate the neighbor's request because it was a temporary fence. <br /> Council briefly discussed the request and concurred that it was important that the fence <br /> would be removed at the discretion of the Town. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Kerr, seconded by Mordo and <br /> passed unanimously to approve Staff's request to purchase the temporary fence located <br /> behind Town Hall at a cost of approximately $600.00 and for the temporary fence to <br /> remain until the landscaping matured. The fence would be removed at the discretion of <br /> the Council. <br /> • <br /> 9 <br /> City Council Meeting Minutes <br /> May 19,2005 <br />
