CITY COUNCIL Mn%= - Novenber 7, 1984 <br />D. SPECIAL ORDERS: Lands of Sierra Club Foundation (continued): <br />�ft. The City Manager noted that State statutes required that in order for the <br />Council to rercrve the land from open space covenant they rust find that the <br />reasons for placing the covenant in open space no longer exist and in par- <br />ticular that the seven specific reasons listed in Government Code Section <br />51056 Subsection (b) do not apply. <br />The City Manager reported that in his opinion the following of the seven <br />reasons were not clearly inapplicable to the situation before Council: 1) <br />The land is unimproved and has scenic value to the public as viewed from a <br />public highway or fran public or private buildings; 2) The retention of the <br />lard as open space will add to the enenities of living in adjoining or <br />neighboring urbanized areas; and 3) The lard lies in an area which in the <br />public interest should remain rural in character and the retention of the <br />lard as open space will help preserve the rural character of the area. <br />Should Council wish to consider ramval of the covenant, ha.ever, they needed <br />to set a public hearing for Dec®nber 5, 1984. <br />Andrew Cochran. 2235 old Page Mill Road and Margot Pratt, 2215 Garth Lane <br />Mrs. lnis Hogle, 2000 Old Page Mill Road, oacmentel that she had donated the <br />land to the Lbpu'f in 1971 for open space.
