'r NEW BUSI'NESS: .Nominations for Deputy Mayor. <br />His position on this subject is untenable considering the <br />of the property owners in this community against cluster. <br />With regret, I vote "No". <br />The Question was called. <br />ROLL C&LL: AYES: Bowler, Fowle, Mayor Henley <br />NOES: ..iken, Clayton <br />ABSENT: None <br />outcry <br />Councilman Clayton challenged the validity of Fir. Bowler's vote. <br />OLD BUSINESS: <br />1. Clusters. <br />Councilman .''liken stated there was a discrepancy (referring to <br />Council Minutes of June 21st) in the stand of Councilman Bowler <br />in the matter of the Sunset Petroleum Application and the recent <br />strong stand taken by the Council in the cluster development <br />of the Carver property and was unable to see what is the <br />difference between the two developments. <br />Councilman Bowler reiterated his stand in that it is always an <br />interest what is adjacent to our borders but that the basis of <br />the Town's objections should be on how it impinges upon and <br />affects Los Altos Hills. <br />Mrs. R. Watson, 10950 Magdalena Road, asked the Councilmembers <br />to take a stand "yes" or"no" about cluster. <br />Mayor Henley,stated the Council's position had been stated on <br />at least three occasions. Councilmen Aiken and Clayton's <br />stand is that clusters are to be rejected out,of hand and not to <br />be considered at all. The position taken by the other members <br />of the Council is that cluster is not a'dirty'word but another <br />way of planning, which need not include increased density <br />nor necessarily involve a closer juxtaposition of houses. <br />Mayor Henley stated that allplans must be taken as presented <br />before the Council and he personally will not take an oath on <br />an advance position of opposing a proposition without knowing <br />the complete facts. <br />Mayor Henley commented this matter had been previously dis- <br />cussed and the subject is out of order, not being on the Agenda, <br />but would hear brief statements from the Floor:. <br />Comments were heard from Messrs. French; Janssen, Towle and <br />Mesdames Watson and Harvey. <br />Councilman Fowle stated. the present zoning ordinance does not <br />permit cluster and no modification of the present zoning <br />ordinance would be proposed without a public election. <br />-4- <br />
