L MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #33-94 adopting the Palo Alto Sewer Service Charge Final Report and authorizing transmittal to the Santa Clara County Assessor's Office. 11.4 Request for approval of a negative declaration and tentative parcel map for a three lot subdivision at 13826 Page Mill Road, Lands of Vuctnich Alan Huntzinger, representing applicant, asked Council for approval of their three lot subdivision. He noted that they had met all of the requirements of the Town and he did not think it fair to hold this project tip in an attempt to find a solution to an ongoing drainage problem. He did comment however that they were willing to contribute a fair dollar amount toward solving the drainage issue. Mr. Huntzinger further explained the location of the driveway and the location of the lots and houses. Dru Anderson, 27820 Saddle Court, commented that she was concerned about the height issue (visual impact on their property) and the drainage issue. She noted that the residents on Saddle Mountain had paid for drainage in good faith. She would be willing to discuss the option of an assessment district but was not willing to commit to it until the dollar amount was known and the ramifications had been determined. Mrs. Anderson noted that she had served on the subcommittee established to address the Moon Lane drainage issues and there had been a sincere effort on the part of the subcommittee to work together toward a solution. Nancy Bavor, 13816 Page Mill Road, noted her concerns about the drainage issue and showed Council pictures comparing how their property had originally looked with natural swales and how it looked now. She was also quite concerned about the proposed size of the homes in this subdivision. The square footage was so low she was sure variances would be requested in the future. Mrs. Bavor also commented on the steepness of the lots as one of her concerns. Tim Chown, 13822 Page Mill Road, noted that his neighbors had every right to subdivide their property but also stated his concerns about the visual impact on his house and noted that he did not particularly like the driveway design. On the subject of drainage, Mr. Chown stated that the Town had approved a project seventeen years ago and then had not maintained it. While the natural swale used to dry up, now it did not dry up at all. Mr. Chown stated that he would be marginally willing to participate in sharing expenses toward a solution. June 1, 1994
