9. COUNCIL INITIATED <br />A. Discussion on Fire Department ADU Driveway Requirements and Customer Service <br />(Mayor Tankha) <br />Mayor Tankha presented the item. Planning Director Zach Dahl provided <br />background information. He said that the fire department confirmed they would revert <br />back to 12 foot minimum driveway width for family dwelling units. The fire department <br />will work with the Town on a case-by-case situation on ADU's and turnarounds. <br />Jitze Couperus, Los Altos Hills, was thankful this topic is being brought up as he sent a <br />memo two years ago to the City Council. He suggested an article for the Town <br />newsletter describing what the rules really are. <br />Gary Kremen, Los Altos Hills, said it seems the fire department is averse to Town <br />policy. He suggested that the fire department could look at smaller trucks. <br />Council discussion ensued. <br />There was consensus to agendize for further discussion next month. <br />B. Discussion and Possible Action on Reinstating the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) <br />Map (Mayor Tankha) <br />Mayor Tankha presented the item. Councilmember Schmidt said that her taskforce is <br />discussing this very topic. The City Attorney said that the information the taskforce is <br />working on can be shared, but it should be agendized for April. The Mayor requested <br />that staff review and return with a recommendation. <br />MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Schmidt moved to direct the staff <br />to review the WUI designation, including hiring a consultant if necessary, and return to the <br />City Council with a recommendation.
