6.2 Consideration of Adoption of Terms and Conditions of Signs and Banners in <br /> Los Altos Hills <br /> City Manager Cassingham reported that this item had been prepared by staff as a response <br /> to a request by resident Mark Jensen at the March 18th City Council meeting for Council <br /> consideration of designated areas in Town for the display of banners to advertise Town <br /> events. Cassingham noted that the Municipal Code section pertaining to signs had been <br /> responsive to the Town's needs to date and if Council concurs no further definition would <br /> be necessary. <br /> Planning Director Cahill explained that enforcement of the current code is complaint <br /> driven. Illegal signs/advertisements in the public right-of-way are removed when Town <br /> offices are notified. Signs on private property are permitted. Residents may seek <br /> permission for certain signs. <br /> OPENED PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Resident, Altamont Court, explained that she considers her cow sign"art". <br /> Sandy Humphries, would like to see Town banners permitted. <br /> Kathy Evans, Public Education Committee, voiced her opinion that having designated <br /> areas for permitted signs would be helpful to Committees announcing events. She would <br /> especially like to see an area in the southern part of Los Altos Hills near Magdalena <br /> available for signage. She believes this area is often neglected when it comes to <br /> notification of Town events. <br /> Mark Jensen, resident, would like to see a banner over the road but realizes it would be <br /> obtrusive. He suggested that a larger area be designated at the Town Hall for notices and <br /> signs. <br /> CLOSED PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Following a brief discussion, Council determined that the present Municipal Code <br /> Section on signs and banners was sufficient. <br /> 7.
