Ordinance #256 (Continued) MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Nystrom, seconded by Councilwoman Hillestad and passed unanimously to waive further reading of Ordinance #256. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilwoman Hillestad, seconded by Councilman Nystrom and carried unanimously to adopt Ordinance #256 amending Title 7 of the Los Altos Hills Municipal Code by adding thereto Chapter 5 entitled "Flood Damage Prevention". At approximately 8:55 p.m. Mayor McReynolds left the meeting and Mayor Pro Tem Proft then presided. 2. Public Hearings: a) Consideration of an amendment to proposed Subarea Plan Element, Chaparral Way area. Due to possible conflict of interest, Mayor Pro Tem Proft and Councilwoman Hillestad stepped down from consideration of this matter. Councilman Perkins and the City Engineer provided a brief history of previous action on this item. Thereafter, Commissioner Kuranoff told of the extensive public hearings held by the Planning Commission, the feelings garnered from residents in the area to leave Chaparral Way much as it is now and the Commission's current intent to abide by their recommendation of July 27, 179 and as outlined in his memo of that same date. Mr. Poole, Chaparral Way, spoke for the safety of the road as he had lived there since 1950 and then stated that the area down near Moody Road, where further subdivision would have the greatest impact, could be taken care of with a cul-de-sac when sub- division occurred. Council then discussed the liability factors on this road which is partially private and partially public and their desire to adopt a plan which would be acceptable to the majority of residents involved while providing the greatest safety. Thereafter, the following amendments were made to the Planning Commission recommended Amendment - Subarea Plan Element to the Los Altos Hills General Plan, dated July 27, 1979: PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To amend Item #6, page 2 to read: All drainage channels that receive storm water from improved areas shall be improved to accept excess drainage either with an underground system or by other means consistent with the rural nature of the area. The improved drainage channel shall discharge to a storm drain collection pipe, a paved street with a gutter or Adobe Creek. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To change "Moody Creek" to "Adobe Creek" in Item 7, page 2. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To delete Item 11, page 2 and re -number appropriately. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To number the last paragraph, page 2, as Item 12 and add the following—and two sub -topics to it: The following principles will apply during development: a) Except for emergency use, Chaparral Way will not at any time be used as a vehicular connection between Moody Road and Altamont, b) The Town will take necessary steps to retain the option of connecting upper Chaparral Way to Altamont which is only to be acted upon if future need arises. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Nystrom, seconded by Councilman Perkins 4 and passed by the following roll call vote to adopt Resolution #1237 adopting the Amend- ment to the Subarea Plan Element of the Los Altos Hills General Plan with above changes.
