10 City Clerk Regular City Council Meeting February 15, 2018 ABSTAIN: None B. LANDS OF WILKERSON; 12400 Stonebrook Drive; Appeal of a Decision to Record a Notice of Code Violation Against the Property for the Construction of a Fence Within the Public Right-Of-Way. File #8-18-MISC (Staff: S. Avila) Ex Parte Communications: Councilmember Corrigan disclosed that she spoke with Glenn Wilkerson; Mayor Pro Tem Spreen had not met with anyone, but knows Ms. Wilkerson from the Pathways Committee; Mayor Radford said he had no contact; Councilmember Wu had not met with anyone; Councilmember Waldeck received a call, but did not respond. Planning Director Suzanne Avila presented the staff report. Sonja Wilkerson, Los Altos Hills, addressed the Council and provided a background of the fence on her property. Council asked questions of staff and received their responses. Glenn Wilkerson, Los Altos Hills, said this situation is silly as we are talking about something that doesn't produce, doesn't breath air, and we are not that far off. Mayor Radford opened the Public Hearing. Bill Gibbons, Los Altos Hills, said he filed the complaint and said the fence encroaches on the public land. He said that public land should not be abandoned. Glenn Wilkerson, said that he has lived in the location for 10 years and there is no problem with parking at that location. The City Council asked the City Manager about the parking issue. City Manager Cahill explained that it is not a safe place to park and it coincided with the opening of the path, so staff placed large boulders to discourage parking. Mayor Radford closed the Public Hearing. Council discussion ensued. MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Corrigan moved to approve an administrative decision to, as long as it falls within the City Manager's spending authority, split the cost of moving this fence to be on the property line. The motion was seconded by Mayor Radford. Motion Carried 5 to 0:
