3J TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS December 9, 2004 Staff Report to the Planning Commission RE: CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION, TRACT NO. 1286 LANDS OF GARVERICK; 14460 MIRANDA COURT FROM: John Chau, Assistant Engineer RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission: Recommend Approval to the City Council of a Certificate of Correction Amending a Final Map subject to the Findings as recommended by Staff. BACKGROUND: In May 1954, Tract No. 1286 "Pinecrest Heights No. 2" was approved by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. This Tract Map included building setback lines on the majority of the lots which split the lots approximately into two equal halves. The intent of the setbacks was to assure that adequate space for sanitary sewer leach fields was allowed for each lot. It is not the current practice of the Town to require setback lines for sanitary sewer leach fields. At the time of this map approval, sanitary sewer service was not available to the residents in this area. Since that time, sanitary sewer service has been added with sewer main located in Miranda Court. DISCUSSION: The property owners of lot 20 of Tract No. 1286 request the removal of the building setback line that was recorded with the Final Map. The attached exhibits indicate the lot where the property owners are requesting the Final Map Amendments. The Town's Municipal Code Section 9-1.1210 requires that specific findings be made to support Final Map Amendments. It is the Planning Commission's role to review these findings and make a recommendation to the City Council. The findings listed below have been made to support approval of the Final Map Amendments.
