lir 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> 6.1 Pathway Dedication, Lands of Raman, 12378 Priscilla Lane <br /> van Tamelen stated that she had been to the site but had not spoken with the <br /> applicants. Casey stated that she had been to the site and had spoken to the applicants <br /> and their neighbors at the Planning Commission Meeting. Johnson and Tryon stated <br /> they did not know the applicants nor had they visited the site. <br /> Mrs. Judy Carico, Planning Commissioner, stated that things should be perceived to be <br /> on the up and up. <br /> Casey responded that that she strongly felt it was appropriate for Councilmembers to <br /> meet with applicants. <br /> Mr. Raman, applicant, referred to his letter dated 12/12/89 (on file at Town Hall) which <br /> had been presented to the Planning Commission. He referenced the same points made <br /> in that letter for the Council's appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to <br /> remove the requirement for a five-foot pathway dedication from a site development <br /> permit. The issues raised in the letter were: infringement of property owner rights; not <br /> required of others in neighborhood; wooded and steep slope; not a connecting path; and <br /> requirement not legally enforceable. Mr. Raman explained these points and also <br /> distributed pictures of the property. He further commented that other pathway accesses <br /> were available. <br /> Mr. John Sines, applicant's attorney, referred to his letter dated 2/5/90 which addressed <br /> the liability issue and the case of Nollan vs. the California Coastal Commission in <br /> which the U.S. Supreme Court held as unconstitutional the Commmission's demand <br /> that the Nollans dedicate a public easement to the beach in return for a permit to <br /> demolish their present home and build a bigger one. <br /> Mrs. Dot Schreiner, Chairman - Pathways, Recreation and Parks Committee, <br /> commented that the property under discussion was a 1958 subdivision and they were <br /> now attempting to put the pathway system in this subdivision to eventually connect <br /> with Lands of McCullough. If the pathway system was not put in place, people would <br /> not be able to get around safely. The path would have to be cleared and it was not any <br /> steeper than other paths in the Town. <br /> Mrs. Raman, applicant, asked if the path was good for the neighbors.
