PRESENTATION BY FREEDMAN, TUNG & BOTTOMLEY, TOWN AND CITY <br /> DESIGN CONSULTANTS <br /> Mr. Michael Freedman, Freedman Tung & Bottomley, introduced himself and his <br /> associate, Greg Tung, to the Council. He stated that his presentation, which included <br /> slides of Danville, Tiburon and the South of France for comparison purposes, was that <br /> of an outsider looking at Los Altos Hills. He addressed the following issues: the <br /> unique and distinctive landscaping in Los Altos Hills; houses which either fit into or <br /> intrude into the landscaping; houses versus settings (setting should be primary). Mr. <br /> Freedman also had several slides of homes in the Town which illustrated that the <br /> form of the landscaping was not dictating what someone could build and also <br /> illustrated the effects of roof lines, color and fences. <br /> Mr. Freedman made the following recommendations: I) take a comprehensive look at <br /> what Los Altos Hills was getting and what it is the Town wanted; 2) if it was not what <br /> the Town wanted, investigate the reasons, review policies and programs; 3) continue <br /> December 20, 1989 <br /> 1 <br />
