UNSCHEDULEDI18M . 2: REQUEST FOR C INODETERMINATION THAT LOT #19, TRACT #3609. IS A BUILDING SITE. Staff advised that when this subdivision was approved, Lot #19 was declared "NOT A BUILDING SITE" because sanitary sewers were not available. This was a recommendation of the Health Department, and the Planning Commission and Council concurred. Since thent a sanitary sewer has been installed on Christopher's Lane, which connects to the Palo Alto line in Page Mill Road and lot #19 can be served by this line. The City Attorney stated that the Council could declare that lot #19 is now a legal building site.

UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 3: GRANT EASEMENT TO P. G. & E. FOR UNDERGROUNDING ON FREMONT ROAD. Staff reported that in connection with the undergrounding project to be started soon on Fremont Road between Concepcion and St. Francis Drive that the Town must grant P. G. & E. three small easements to accommodate under- ground cable and a transformer box. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Grabowski and carried unanimously, that Pacific Gas and Electric Co, and Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co, be granted easements requested to accommodate underground cable and a transformer box, and that the Mayor and 06 City Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 4: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL TO ADOPT NEW TRAIL AND PATH STANDARDS. Staff stated that the Pathway Committee had studied the different types of trails and paths needed for Los Altos Hills and concluded that three basic types were needed. Type 1-A and B would be for equestrian/pedestrian use located in easements or along shoulders of the roads. Type 2-A and B would be for equestrian/pedestrian use in any location. Type 3 would be for pedestrian/bicycles in any location. The above was recommended to the Planning Commission who did not concur 100% in this recommendation. They would prefer that Type 1-A and B be called a "Trail", located in either easements or along the shoulders of roads and that there be no designation as to the users of such a trail; Type 2-A and B would be called a "Path", without designating the users; and Type 3 would also be a path, without designating the users. The Planning Commission's reasoning for making these changes was: (1) For clarity, that is, trails will always be of native soil and paths will always have improved surfaces. (2) We should not designate the use of trails and paths, unless we intend to patrol and enforce this regulation. A copy of the details and sections for the three types of trails and paths and their description were presented. Council discussion ensued with Floor participation by Mr. A. M. Laws, 11210 Hooper Lane. .9-
