UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2: REPORT ON PROGRESS ON PATHWAY AROUND THE "LITTLE TWISTER". The City Manager noted that some time ago, he had met with Mr. Ray F. Galli, e Jr. and proposed a swap of land whereby the Town would give him square 40 footage equal to that needed for pathway purposes by the Town. Mr. Galli to date had only requested additional time for consideration, but had not indicated acceptance to this proposal. Council discussion ensued and noted that considerable time had elapsed since the Twister pathway first came up. Council concurred that in the event that there is still no satisfactory conclusion reached with Mr. Galli prior to the next Council meeting, that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolution of public necessity to acquire the necessary land :for the pathway. SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: PARKSIDE UNIT 2 (351-68) Final Map, 5 lots, Deer Springs Nay. Engr. Sandis. The applicant, Mr. A. Lambert, submitted an alternate Final Map for Parkside Unit #2, composed of five (5) lots instead of the seven (7) lots presented at the last meeting. This alternate Final Map for 5 lots conformed to the lot lines on the Tentative Map approved in 1968 as opposed to the earlier 7 -lot Final Map, which was more nearly in conformance with the recently approved revised Tentative Map. Both Final Maps would be served by sewers. Council discussion noted their continued reservations in considering acceptance of any final map without resolution of the problems pending that were attached to their acceptance of the revised Tentative Map for Parkside Units #2 and #3. The difficulty of interpreting and applying the Check List and the unknown status of the Park Corridor were emphasized. The applicant stated he had chosen to submit a Final Map which was a portion of Parkside Unit #2 because these particular lots were all severable and one of them was pending sale. Council sympathized but reiterated that it could not approve either of the Final Maps before the unresolved problems attached to acceptance of the Revised Tentative Map were removed. Further, the Council noted that they agreed to again send a representative to meet with the Health Department on the following day to discuss on-site sewage disposal for sixteen (16) lots of Parkside Units #2 and #3 and that they would meet with the applicant on Thursday, October 22. These meetings were intended to reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion to the problems, so that hopefully the Council would be in a position at the next meeting to conclude acceptance of Parkside Units #2 and #3 and then they would be able to give consideration to the applicant's Final Maps for this subdivision. Council concurred that consider- ation of the Final Map for Parkside Units #2 and #3 be continued, with the intent that if all problems are resolved that it be agended for the next 4 meeting. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: STATEMM BY THE MAYOR. Mayor Walter A. Benson noted that a "serious breach of confidence and civic responsibility" had occurred, whereby Councilman Mary C. Davey following the closed Litigation Session of October 5, 1970 had "revealed to an outsider the private discussion of the Council and our Attorney", and that "a unilateral, arbitrary act, such as this could compromise our Town of Los Altos Hills". -2-
