UNSCHEDULED TIM NO. 1: <br />REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO ENCROACH ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT -CF -WAY WITH A PENCE - <br />GERA[D PSE, 10779 MAGDALENA ROAD. <br />Mr. G. Pole, following the recent purchase of his residence, erected a <br />corral with the front side encroaching approximately ten (101) feet onto <br />the public right-of-way along Magdalena Road. It was noted that Mr. Pole <br />had been advised that this was not permissible, as soon as it was noticed <br />that the posts had been placed. This was prior to his subsequently attach- <br />ing the fence boards. <br />Council discussion noted the necessity of upholding the ordinances in this <br />respect and expressed their regrets to Mr. Pole for the time and materials <br />he had expended. <br />MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by <br />Corbett and carried unanimously (Grabowski absent) that Mr. Pole's appeal <br />be denied and that he remove this fence from the right-of-way. <br />In response to Mr. R. C. Cheney's suggestion, Council concurred that <br />Mr. Pole be allowed six months to accomplish the relocation of this fence. <br />SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: <br />PURCHASE OF LITTLE LEAGUE PARK. <br />Staff reported that the lease purchase agreement for the Little League <br />property had been signed by the Palo Alto Unified School District and had <br />been delivered to the Town by the County Counsel. It was noted that upon <br />the Town's request the payment terms had been changed to allow the three <br />annual payments to be paid at the end of each year, instead of at the be- <br />ginning as originally discussed. The Town would be required to provide a <br />two million dollar liability insurance policy during the lease period for <br />each occurrence and $500,000 per person. These amounts exceed the coverage <br />of our current policy and it was estimated the liability coverage would <br />cast an additional $50.00. <br />Council discussion noted that a sub -lease should be negotiated with the <br />Little League since they are to pay all costs incurred for development of <br />this ballpark. <br />MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Davey moved, seconded by Helgesson <br />and carried by unanimous roll call vote, Councilman Grabowski absent, that <br />the Lease -Purchase agreement for the Little League Ballpark be adopted <br />and that the agreement be executed with the Palo Alto School District. <br />Mr. Whipple, President of the Little League, expressed appreciation to the <br />Town on behalf of the Little League for this purchase agreement. <br />SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2: <br />DISCUSSION OF OPEN SPACE PLAN FOR LOA ALTOS HILLS. <br />Mrs. Priscilla Weisbart, Chairman of the Planning Commission, noted that <br />she had recently introduced the Williamson Act as a means of providing tax <br />relief, as well as to retain open space in the upper foothills. She was <br />pleased to report, as a result of this proposal, considerable support had <br />been generated among residents during the past few weeks. <br />Mr. M. G. Boissevain, 27181 Sherlock Road, noted of 26 residents contacted <br />only two were unreceptive to joining with neighbors to create one hundred <br />acres of contiguous lands to contract for ten years of open space.
