The following members answered roll call: Present: Commissioners Hibner, Lachenbruch, McReynolds, Spencer, Chairman Weisbart. Absent: Commissioner Perkins. COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE: Councilman Mary Davey. 1. Letter from Nr. Mark S. Comes who represented a group of students from Santa Clara University that were seeking National Science Foundation funds, requested the Commission's endorsement that they would utilize the findings of their proposed study of social and psychological aspects of population optimum. Commissioner McReynolds is to investigate and further advise the Commission of the intent of this request and what specific information that they intend to provide. COMMITTEE REPORTS: 1. Commissioner Hibner stated the Private Road Committee had met twice and discussed the revisions of Ordinance No. 69 as related to private roads. They were to meet on the following day to further review the MAPS area to finalize their recommendations and would report to the Commission at the next meeting. Chairman Weisbart appointed Commissioner McReynolds to the Private Road Committee and reiterated that the charge of the Committee was to study the private road situation to jell with the proposed revision of Ordinance No. 69. DIVISIONS OF LAND: Tentative Maps: 1. RHOS RIDGE RANCHOS UNITS #2 and #3 (357-69) 9 lots, Engr. Geo. S. Nolte. Staff noted that previous meetings on this subdivision related to access via Summitwood Road but that do to the problems that had arisen since then, the applicant had submitted a new map with access to this subdivision from Moody Road. It was noted that the map as revised had still met slope density requirements, but that since Peck/Rhus Ridge Road and Bassett Lane were still to he private roads exceeding 850' that a conditional exception would be required. In response to Commission Spencer's suggestion that a path be located between lots 2 and 3, Mrs. Saviano, Chairman of the Pathway Committee, noted that they had considered this, but that since an existing PUS already fell between lots 3, 4, and 5 that it would be acceptable to the Committee to have the pathway overlap. The pathway between lot 5 and along 3 and 4 should, however, be relocated as necessary to provide a suitable grade from Peck Road. A letter from the Santa Clara Flood Control District was read indicating their willingness to conduct a study as to the feasibility of creating a flood plain along Adobe Creek provided the Town would be willing to provide ncessary dedications. The letter further noted that should the box culvert crossing Adobe Creek from Peck to bloody Road fail, it would have to be rebuilt to their standards.
