6. NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Request from County for General Plan Conformance and Contiguity/ Annexation Statement for Lands of Oleynik, 10225 W. Loyola Drive, Los Altos Council discussed whether or not annexation of this property should be required. Hubbard believed a policy statement was needed regarding the annexation of these bordering properties. Siegel commented that deferred annexation would not prevent this project from being built under County standards. Siegel supported the proposed two -lot subdivision which conformed to the Town's regulations but not a three -lot subdivision which would be allowed in the County. The City Attorney commented that technically if this property was annexed it would not create an 'island'. Dot Schreiner, representing the Pathways Recreation and Parks Committee, stated that they would like to see the County adopt the Town's standards, particularly since all of Ravensbury was a connector road. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Hubbard, seconded by Tryon and passed unanimously to state that the proposed subdivision of Lands of Oleynik at 10225 W. Loyola Drive in Los Altos which was within the Town's Urban Service Area, was in conformance with the Town's General Plan, Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. It was further determined that the project was major and qualified for annexation prior to development. Application may not be accepted by the County without a written waiver from the Town. 6.2 Request from the Strengthen Our Schools Committee for support of Measure B -- school bond issue Ginny Lear, Chairman of the SOS Strengthen Our Schools Committee, briefly explained Measure B, its placement on the April ballot and the importance of its passage to the school district. She noted that tours had been conducted of the schools and the necessity of obtaining these funds was apparent. Mrs. Lear noted that the support of the Council was very important towards the passage of this measure which required a two-thirds vote of the residents in the school district. Dr. Don Phillips, Superintendent of the Mountain View -Los Altos Union High School District, noted that there were several important reasons why this measure needed to pass. These included the fact that they were facing growth as a school district, there was no adequate classroom space, the present facilities were 30 to 40 years old and the educational program needed to be changed. Dr. Phillips commented on the minimal impact of this measure on the taxpayers and asked Council for their support. January 5, 1994
