Call to Order and Approval of Minutes <br /> The meeting was called to order at 9:02 am. Minutes of the May10, 2014 meeting were <br />approved with typos corrected (GC, NC, KL, AS, RS, JS approved; SW abstained). The <br />agenda was approved as written. <br />2. Current Business <br />A. Bicycle Signs on Byrne Preserve Pathways. Proposal by staff to place signs indicating <br />bikes are to yield to horses and pedestrians will be taken under consideration by Planning <br />Commission at the meeting this evening. <br />B. Site Plan Reviews <br />i) 27299 Byrne Park Lane. Review completed at the last meeting. <br />ii) 12810 Deer Creek Lane. The draft review presented by Chair GC (Attachment A) <br />was discussed. Issues included the proposed property line fence along the Purissima <br />and the southern border, the requirement not to fence any of the open space easement <br />that provides access for wildlife to the creek, and a suggestion the owners consider <br />riparian restoration. GC moved that we remove the part of the first paragraph under <br />"Recommendations" starting with the sentence "Depending upon its construction..." <br />to the end of the paragraph, and replace it with “This open space easement was <br />created at the time of subdivision to assure access for wildlife to Deer Creek. The <br />fencing as planned limits wildlife access to the creek from Purissima Road. Thus, we <br />want to reaffirm that the owners understand that the open space easement cannot ever <br />be fenced (per Town ordinances).” SW seconded and the vote was unanimously in <br />favor. RS moved that the last paragraph be replaced with a sentence from the email <br />response provided by staff: “Because of the poor condition of Deer Creek passing <br />through the property, the Committee recommends that the owner consider riparian <br />restoration. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board would need to review any proposal for work within the creek <br />channel and/or between the channel and top of bank, and issue permits.” KL <br />seconded and the vote was unanimously in favor. GC will send the edited OSC <br />recommendation to planning staff. <br />C. Announcements. None <br />D. Election of Chair and secretary. GC nominated RS as chair. KL seconded and the vote <br />was unanimously in favor. SW agreed to continue as secretary; GC seconded and the vote <br />was unanimously in favor. <br />E. Update of Coyote Alert Signs in Byrne Preserve. Staff placed additional signs letting <br />users know that dogs are not permitted in the grassland area of Byrne Preserve at this <br />time because of coyote pups. They also added display boxes at Moody Road and Byrne <br />Park Lane entrances to Byrne Preserve with informational brochures about coyotes and
