[ Johnson noted that he had distributed notes on a possible newsletter article on this fit, proposed project. These notes were for information only at this time and were still in the draft stage. 9.4 Technology Improvement Committee (Councilmember Johnson) Johnson commented on the several projects this committee was involved with and noted that he was quite impressed with their work. 10. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS 11.1 Request for a tentative map and mitigated negative declaration for a proposed three lot subdivision, Lands of Lindy, 27591 Purissima Road Shannon Paboojian, applicant, commented on the original street name for this subdivision which was Samuel Lane. It was changed to Brubaker for historical reasons but he understood the concerns about its similarity to Baker Lane which was nearby and would contact the Fire Department and abide by their recommendation. Concerning lot #3 he explained why the house was moved to the other side of the creek, in part because of neighbors' concerns and conformance with the Town's policy on leach fields. Mr. Paboojian noted that this project was in conformance with the Town's Codes and had been reviewed favorably by the appropriate outside agencies such as the Santa Clara Valley Water District and the Department of Fish and Game. Mr. Paboojian further noted that he concurred with the recommended mitigated negative declaration and conditions of approval. David Pilling, 12849 Canario Way, referred to his letter to the Town dated 6/15/95 in which he addressed his concerns about the Lindy project. Mr. Pilling was especially concerned about drainage and did not agree with the reports on this subject on file, nor did he believe the tests done were adequate. His property was experiencing drainage problems and he believed this was caused by the development in the neighborhood and was only going to get worse. Mr. Pilling stated his specific concern about the proposed house on Lot #1 where he believed the most serious soil conditions existed. Mr. Pilling also recommended support of a sewer system for this area of Town in view of the increased development. The Assistant Engineer stated that the concerns raised in Mr. Pilling's letter had been addressed in part by trenching and conducting perc tests. Simon Makdessi, Terrasearch, Inc., addressed Mr. Pilling's concerns by explaining the tests that were done on the Lindy property. He noted that the water was localized to the near surface and there was no evidence of underground springs. June 21, 1995 Regular City Council Meeting IN
