'F <br /> C. ANNEXATION OF QUARRY HILLS: <br /> 1 . Motion to place ballot initiative currently circulating in Town on <br /> ballot, without waiting for initiative to qualify for ballot <br /> Mayor Johnson referred to the initiative currently being circulated in <br /> the Town concerning the Upper Neary Quarry Lands . Specifically, the <br /> ballot title was ' Initiative to regulate and limit development of <br /> Upper Neary Quarry Lands if annexed to the Town of Los Altos Hills . ' <br /> Mayor Johnson suggested calling a special election to vote on this <br /> matter. In his opinion this action would facilitate the orderly <br /> consideration of this project. The voters would have the opportunity <br /> to vote on this issue; the Council would have a clear understanding of <br /> what the residents wanted and the developer too would have clearer <br /> understanding of what direction to take regarding his project. Council <br /> discussed the initiative process and the content of the ordinance <br /> contained in the petition. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and <br /> passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #6-89 of the City Council of <br /> the Town of Los Altos Hills calling a special election to be held in <br /> the Town of Los Altos Hills on June 6 , 1989 requesting services of <br /> the Registrar of Voters; and requesting consolidation of elections and <br /> specifying certain procedures for the consolidated election. <br /> D. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR: <br /> Mrs . Elaine Dauber, 27930 Roble Alto, reported that they had <br /> approximately 1 ,200 signatures already and she urged having an <br /> election as soon as possible. <br /> Mrs. Jean Struthers , 13690 Robleda, stated that the ordinance in the <br /> petition had been prepared by Robert Girard, a Stanford University Law <br /> Professor , who had been involved in many environmental issues . <br /> Mr . John Vidovich, applicant , stated that he had spent a lot of time <br /> and money on this project and he thought the timing of the initiative <br /> was unfair. It would give him less development than allowed in the <br /> County and would make it quite difficult to develop his project in the <br /> Town. Furthermore, he stated that this initiative was stopping his <br /> project now and the project could be stopped again by another <br /> initiative . <br /> Dr . Howard Martin, 11666 Dawson Drive, commented on the protest filed <br /> with the Water Control Board and noted that if the objections are not <br /> filed it is assumed the protest is withdrawn. <br /> Mr. Luis Yanez , 26879 Moody Road, thanked the Council for calling the <br /> Special Election. He believed the initiative was fair and also thanked <br /> everyone who had circulated the petitions . <br /> 11, <br /> 2- 1/9/89 <br />
