Dr. Hwong, applicant, stated that he was willing to work on a compromise with the conditions of approval as recommended by the Planning Commission. In particular he did not agree with lowering the trellis or the height of the fence. He also commented that the light he was required to move was there when he bought the house and had no connection with the sports court. Council discussed the condition addressing the removal of the light and agreed that this was a code enforcement issue and not related to the sports court. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and passed unanimously to delete recommended condition 46: "Prior to acceptance of plans for building plan check, the existing lights on the walkway steps to Clausen Court must be removed." MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Johnson and passed by the following roll call vote to approve the request for a Site Development Permit for a sports court for Lands of Hwong at 12813 Clausen Court, subject to the conditions of approval recommended by the Planning Commission and amended as follows: trellis height changed from 9.5' to I1'; fence height changed from 8'to 10'; condition #6 deleted and the second sentence of condition #7 changed to read: "The recorded restriction will be prepared by the Planning Department and shall be signed and notarized by the property owners prior to issuance of permits." AYES: Mayor Siegel and Councilmembers Casey and Johnson NOES: Mayor Pro Tem Hubbard and Councilmember Dauber 11.2 Setting Rates for Solid Waste and Recyclables Collection Service -- Reso #_ The City Manager referred to the staff report dated 9/6/95 which included the recommendation that Council approve a rate increase for solid waste services by 1.94%. This rate increase was authorized in the Settlement Agreement approved in December of 1994. In addition to this increase in the rate table, the Los Altos Garbage Company was requesting a 1.94% increase for all other solid waste services to the Town and the City Manager recommended approval of this increase as being a reasonable request. Dauber pointed out that in the settlement agreement approved in December of 1994 it was stipulated that the universal rate would not increase. In the table before them from the garbage company it showed an increase. Council also addressed the issue of garbage service to the residents on Rhus Ridge. For some time they had an arrangement for a front loader box, the cost of which the thirteen homes shared. Council believed that these residents could continue this service if they wished but to be fair they should at least pay the minimum one can service charge.
