FROM: Brian Froelich, AICP, Associate Planner'g� APPROVED BY: Debbie Pedro, AICP, Planning Director RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: Rescind condition of approval #27 and require that the applicant pay the standard pathway in -lieu fee as recommended by the Pathways Committee. DISCUSSION The site development permit for a new residence and Grading Policy Exception at 11580 Old Ranch Road was approved with conditions by the Planning Commission at the regular meeting on July 17, 2008. Following the meeting, two Planning Commissioners appealed the project based on condition #27, which required that the property owner dedicate an existing, private equestrian easement onsite to the Town for public use as part of the Pathways system. When the application was initially reviewed by the Pathways Committee, there was some confusion about whether the existing equestrian easement was a public easement and also whether the Old Ranch Subdivision area had been considered during the latest Pathways Map update. Following the appeal, the Pathways Committee held a special meeting on August 19, 2008 to discuss the recommendation and consider changes in light of the most current information. The item was continued to the regular meeting on August 25, 2008 and the Committee voted 9-1 to change the recommendation to the standard pathway in -lieu fee per Section 10-1.608 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code. The amended condition is as follows: Condition #27` The property owner shall pay a pathway fee of $50.00 per linear foot of the average width of the property, prior to final inspection of the new residence."
