Los Altos Hills Association will license bicycles at the Town Nall on <br />Saturday, August 8, 1970. <br />UNSCfEDULED ITEM NO. 4: <br />RIiQUEST TO REVIEW PIANS FOR IMPROVING FREMONT, BETWEEN SEVEN ACRES LANE AND <br />EDITH ROAD. <br />(Due to the large attendance of children in the audience, this item was taken <br />out of sequence, ahead of the Scheduled items for discussion at this time.) <br />Staff read a communication from Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Smith, 14555 DeBell Road, <br />which requested a public discussion of the Town's plans for the ''Little <br />Twister" and voiced objection to any straightening of this section of Fremont <br />Road. The City Engineer illustrated with transparencies the present layout <br />of the area and the proposed changes. It was explained that the only road <br />improvement planned would be to improve visibility along the Winbigler side <br />of Fremont Road and it was proposed that a path be constructed above the Galli <br />property but below their fence and the eucalyptus trees. This path plan <br />allowed the path to essentially fall within the public right-of-way, except <br />for a small portion at the corner of the Galli property. <br />Speaking from the Floor, Mr. Ray F. Galli, executor of the Galli Estate, <br />opposed the location of the path due to the past vandalism on this property <br />and that such vandalism would no doubt increase if the path fell below the <br />Fence; any property taken would adversely affect the saleability and subdivision <br />of their property; that in addition to the Tom's cost for property taken, the <br />severance damages would be considerable. <br />Additional discussion on this project included comments and Floor participa- <br />tion by Messrs. Wm, Downey, 14330 De Bell Roads Gardner Bullis, 14085 Manuella <br />Road, George Drews, 25851 Estacada Drives and b7esdames Millie Saviano, <br />Chairman of Pathway Committee, and Florence Favas 26691 Moody Road. <br />It was noted that since the path would be separated from the road and that <br />no road work was planned, that the applicab7.ity of gas tax monies needed <br />clarification. Staff was requested to investigate to determine if this work, <br />as proposed, was chargeable to Gas Tax Funds; if not, it would be necessary <br />to reallocate pathway priorities. <br />MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Aiken moved, seconded by Helgesson <br />and carried unanimously, that the Town proceed with the plans as outlined by <br />the City Engineer and as the City Manager is able to work out with available <br />funds in the budget. <br />SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: <br />PARKSIDE UNITS #2 12 lots) and #3 (9 lots) (351-68) Engr. Saudis & Assoc. <br />A. TENTATIVE MAP <br />Staff reviewed this subdivision, which: after extensive hearings at the <br />Planning Commission level, had been recommended to the City Council for <br />approval in accordance with the Check List, Revision C, dated July 21, 1970. <br />Staff read a letter from the developer, Mr. Alan G. Lambert, which appealed <br />all negative actions taken by the Planning Commission in regard to his <br />request for pregrading and variances and their elimination of one lot (#21). <br />-2- <br />
