Council had before them the Director of Public Works' staff report which noted <br /> hit that the intent of this project was to improve the quality of the entrance to <br /> the Town along Arastadero Road from the western border of the Town <br /> with Palo Alto to Purissima Road. Staff recommended approval and also <br /> noted that there were three major components of the project: pathway, <br /> planting and irrigation. The most costly of these is the area of irrigation <br /> and alternatives were being investigated such as the use of reclaimed <br /> water. The Director of Public Works commented that grant funds were <br /> available for this project and by approving the conceptual plans Council <br /> was not commiting any funds. Any costs related to the project would be <br /> reviewed during budget discussions. <br /> Gary Mason, Wolfe-Mason and Associates, reviewed the conceptual plans for <br /> this project. He commented on several of the goals of this project which <br /> included: to capture the image and quality of Los Altos Hills' rural <br /> character; to use appropriate landscaping; to allow circulation of the <br /> pathway; to allow for entry of vehicles; to cluster the shrubs and trees; to <br /> use a mixture of trees; and to preserve the natural element of the hills. <br /> Mr. Mason further commented on the completion of this project in five <br /> stages which would spread the cost over a period of several years. <br /> Dot Schreiner, 14301 Saddle Mountain Drive, commented that she would like <br /> to have a meeting of all her neighbors to discuss the tree planting aspect of <br /> gar this project. <br /> Elayne Dauber, 27930 Roble Alto, suggested inquiring what participation the <br /> homeowners may want to have regarding watering the landscaping before <br /> the Town commits to doing it all themselves. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Tryon <br /> and passed unanimously to accept the conceptual plans for construction of <br /> Arastradero/Page Mill Road Entry Project with appreciation and to refer to <br /> staff for a report prior to the budget on what phases of the plans can be <br /> done for a certain amount of money. <br /> 8.
