AYES: Mayor Pro Tem Siegel and Councilmembers Casey and Johnson <br />NOES: Mayor Dauber and Councilmember Hubbard <br />5.2 Adoption of Ordinance amending the Municipal Code to add provisions <br />relating to Code compliance (SECOND READING) <br />Council discussed various aspects of the proposed ordinance including the reference <br />to 'abandoned, discarded or unused objects or equipment. Casey was concerned <br />farm equipment could fall into this category and she believed such equipment was <br />part of the rural nature of the Town. Council noted that this would really be up to <br />the good judgment of the Council and the City Attorney noted that this was already <br />in the Code and it had not been abused. Concerning the reference to property values <br />in Section 6-5.01(k), the City Attorney stated that this referred to an opinion of a real <br />estate agent not an appraisal of the property. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson, Palo Alto, noted they stored farm equipment on <br />the property at 26240 Fremont Road and questioned the impact of this ordinance on <br />them. They commented that what was a nuisance to one person may not be a <br />nuisance to another. <br />Richard Harman, the caretaker of the property at 26240 Fremont, stated that 12 <br />people lived on the property which was the reason there were so many vehicles. <br />PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To amend Section 6-5.02(b) to reflect 30 days to abate and <br />to state the Town "may" abate the nuisance, not the Town "will" abate. <br />MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Hubbard and <br />passed unanimously to waive further reading of ordinance and to adopt Ordinance <br />#374 amending the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code to add and amend provisions <br />relating to code compliance with changes as recommended by Council. <br />6.
