The following members answered roll call: Commissioners Dawson, Hibner, Lachenbruch, McReynolds, Hinckley, Weisbart, Chairman Perkins. Absent: None. COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE: Councilman Walter A. Benson. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: February 10, 1969. Commissioner Hinckley moved, seconded by Lachenbruch and carried unanimously, that the Minutes of February 10, 1969 be approved as submitted. ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1, Congregation Beth Am, dated February 24, 1969, notifying Town Officials that the dedication of Temple facilities has been postponed from March 2nd to the weekend of May 2, 3, and 4, 1969, due to illness of Rabbi Akselrad. 2. Commissioner Minckley noted the Planning Policy Committee's request for Towns of the area to join with them in a cooperative study for a housing element. Staff noted the Planning Policy Committee had been advised of the Town's willingness to participate. COMMITTEE REPORTS: 1. Commissioner Lachenbruch brought to the attention of the Commission a lake in Page Mill Estates, which appears to be the result of the grading of Liddicoat Drive and Stanford Court. City Engineer explained that at the time improvements were made, an underground concrete pipe was installed to take care of the water from the storm drain. However, fill was subsequently placed by the owner and in doing so, the underground drain pipe was apparent- ly also filled. Planning Commission noted that this was not the responsibil- ity of the Town, but that it constituted a nuisance hazard and should be policed. OTHER BUSINESS: 1. HILLCREST ESTATES NO. 3 - Revised Tentative Map (353-69) 5 lots, 5.8 acres, between Page Mill Road and Briones Way. Engrs. Hammond-Arata & Assoc. Acting City Manager read letter from Mr. and Mrs. Walter Leach, 540 Ringwood Avenue, Menlo Park, owner of Lot 12, Tract #4020, adjoining the subject subdivision, requesting that the application re Hillcrest Estates No. 3 be denied. Acting Manager submitted Staff report, reviewing history of the subdivision and noting that the reason this revised map is before the Commission is that sewers have now become available via Sewer Assessment District No. 5S and Mr. Seward wishes to proceed with the remainder of the subdivision and is requesting a conditional exception to slope density regulations,since the subdivision would have been completed three years ago with the proposed lot sizes if sewers were available.
