<br />UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2:
<br />ZEITMAN, PHIL (BSA -50-68) 1 lot, Camino Hermoso at E1 Caminito.
<br />Staff report was presented, noting the following: Mr. R. S. Rust, 23600
<br />Camino Hermoso, had initiated abandonment proceedings for El Caminito in
<br />1965, which were never executed; the lot has potential access from either
<br />Camino Hermoso or Ravensbury, however, Mr. Rust has voiced his objection to
<br />the access from Camino Hermoso; and, that the applicant, Mr. Zeitman, has
<br />requested access from Camino Hermoso to logically follow the contours of the
<br />land. Staff noted unanimous approval of the Planning Commission, subject to
<br />private road access from Camino Hermoso with the remainder of El Caminito
<br />to be abandoned.
<br />Council discussion ensued regarding access, with participation by Planning
<br />Commissioner Dawson.
<br />MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Fowle,
<br />and carried unanimously, that the request of Phil Zeitman (BSA -50-68) for
<br />building site approval of one lot located on E1 Caminito at Camino Hermoso,
<br />be approved in accordance with the Planning Commission recommendations and
<br />Check List.
<br />SCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1:
<br />CONSIDERATION OF RECREATION PROGRAM FOR PURISSIMA SCHOOL. 4o d
<br />Acting Manager presented staff report, noting the following additional in-
<br />formation, as requested by the Council at its last regular meeting:
<br />1) Purissima School has a total enrollment of 190 students, of which 141
<br />students are bussed, and that 35-40 students participate daily in the
<br />recreation program. (Staff inspection revealed a maximum of 12 students
<br />presently using the playground, however, weather restrictions are undoubtedly
<br />reflected in this figure.)
<br />2) The Los Altos Recreation Department indicated in its 1967-68 Annual Report
<br />that the average daily peak participation of 45 students exists among their
<br />eight elementary schools.
<br />3) A communication has been received from Mr. Gardner Bullis, 14085 Manuella
<br />Avenue, supporting Town participation in the recreation program.
<br />Councilman Davey urged the Council to support this program, since conversa-
<br />tions with parents whose children attend the program, the Principal of
<br />Purissima School, and President of the PLA have convinced her that the program
<br />is needed.
<br />Mayor Aiken asked for comments from the Floor. Mrs. F. Olgiati, 25960
<br />Vinedo Lane, spoke in opposition to the recreation program, and Mrs. Muriel
<br />Smith, Principal of Purissima and Gardner Bullis Schools, and Mrs. Karsch,
<br />President of PTA, 26101 Eucalyptus Lane, spoke in favor of the program. Mrs.
<br />Donald A. Miller, 13076 Vista del Valle Court, questioned the legality of
<br />such a contribution, and Mrs. J. G. Ronsiek, 13023 Vista del Valle Court,
<br />suggested a smaller contribution,attaching conditions of stringent attendance
<br />records.
<br />MOTION AND SECOND: Councilman Davey moved, seconded by Fowle, that the
<br />Council accept the request for the recreation program and allocate $1,000.00
<br />`-for the annual recreation program at Purissima School, effective July 1, 1969,
<br />to be matched by $1,000.00 from the Los Altos School District.
<br />Mayor Aiken requested the record show that whether one is for or against
<br />recent bond issues, the voters turned the bond issue down and therefore he
<br />could not support this program on a moral basis.
