Pastrof, Town Planner Donna Pennington, Secretary B. PUBLIC HEARINGS: LANDS OF SCARFF File TM 2021-75 [. Mr. Pastrof presented a synopsis of the Staff Report of January 7, 1976. Commissioner Schick commented that the Town has no connecting path along- side the subject property, thus if Conditions 16 and 17 were imposed, there would be a four hundred foot long path, ten feet wide, going no- where. Commissioner Perkins observed that the path was more of a roadway -- horses, motor bikes, and bicycles use it too. Mr. Russell advised that the Civil Engineer's map was incorrect in that It showed the sewer connecting to the Bullis line. it was in fact to be connected to the City of Palo Alto's line; and the sewags will not flow through any line in which the Town has jurisdiction. Chairman Carico opened the public hearing at 8:45 p.m. Mr. Scarff objected to any public access being Imposed on the property., He showed the Commissioners a photograph of a piece of his property that was not supposed to be a road, which was rutted and marred by motorcycles and jeeps. He has endured many Instances of vandalism. More than once burglaries have occurred, causing lossess of several thousand dollars each time. He questioned whether the rationale for the request was to get access to the Esther Clark Park, and if so, that park was a nuisance. Furthermore, it was his understanding that the City of Palo Alto intended to replace the park with low income housing. *Departure Time: 11:00 P.M.
