AW 1119 UNSCHEDULED NO. 4: New Trail and Path Standards cont'd.: MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Grabowski and carried unanimously, that the new trail and path standards dated April 1970, as amended to delete the users' designation, as recommended by the Planning Commission, be approved. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1• REPORT ON PROGRESS OF PATH ON FREMOVT ROAD (LITTLE TWISTER). Staff reported that Mr. Ray F. Galli, 1320 Bayport Avenue, San Carlos, advised of his desire to trade part of the corner of the Galli property (which did not fall within the road right of way) for another piece and that also he wished to be guaranteed three building sites when he subdivides the property. It was noted that one lot would be less than an acre. Council discussion noted that this consideration could not be guaranteed but, even if it were within a fraction of an acre, such consideration could not be given until a map was presented. Additional queries were made as to applicability of gas tax monies for this project. Staff reiterated that this money could not be used unless actual road work was incorporated in the project, but it was suggested that when plans axe finalized that they be referred to the State for a reading. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 5: RECOMMENDATIONS OF PLANNING COMMISSION TO HAVE THE TREE COMMITTEE INSPECT ALL TENTATIVE MAPS AND REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. Staff reported that the Planning Commission had recommended that the Tree Committee be asked to inspect all Tentative Maps and report to the Planning Commission on the matter of preserving trees and the planting of new trees. The Tree Committee on the other hand, recommended that this be done by a sub- committee of the Planning Commission and that they only be called in on special cases. Staff noted the present long lead-time required to process Tentative Maps, without requiring additional input. City Manager requested that the Tree Committee's recommendation be adopted as it is more workable and would not further delay this activity. Council concurred. UNSCHEDULED NO. 6: RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION RE: PATH EASEMENTS FOR FREDERICK T. ADAMS ON ARIC LANE. Staff stated that having been referred to the Planning Commission for a recommendation, it was considered by them at their last meeting (8/24/70). The Planning Commission recommended to the Council "that the path easement along the easterly side of Lot #3 be abandoned and the 10' path dedication acceptance along the northerly boundaries of Lots #2 and #3 should be held in abeyance until eventual development of the Palo Alto land, so that the Town of Los Altos Hills could then determine its best interest as to the pathway." MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Davey 40 and carried unanimously that the above noted recommendation by the Planning Commission be approved. -4-
