-NEW BUSINESS: Use Permit Violation (Cont'd.): ). Councilman Bowler stated he was opposed to creeping changes of use permits, however, if the school did exist for four months and the .second school has existed for some months -without our ,attention and does not seem to encroach. upon the neighbors, he would be inclined to listen to Congregation Beth Am toalter their Use Permit to be sure there are adequate facilities and wouldlisten with sympathy to a use not creating problems to the neighbors. The Mayor suggested the City e.ttorney advise Congregation Beth Am of the situation as we understand it,pointing out the limits of the use permit as we understand these limits to be, and suggesting that if an enlargement of the use permit is desired along these lines that a formal application be filed; failing this, they should cease this unauthorized use. 1.CTI ON : That the City Attorney be instructed to contact Congregation Beth Am to discuss the matter and report the outcome to the Council, and, if - advisable, place it on the l.genda for hearing. ,MOTION: Fowle; SECOND: Bowler Mr. R. Towle, of the Los '.ltos Hills ".ssociation, recalled a school for retarded children was proposed and turned down, because of the proximity of Beth Am. In fairness to the property owners who were refused in order to preserve our zoning, any extension should be carefully considered since this is a problem that has grown. ..Councilman Bowler replied this application involved additional property and buildings. However, the Beth An use permit, properly applied for and controlled and providing it does not: require additional buildings or land or add traffic, seems sufficient to warrant reviewing the situation. The Question was called: VOTE: Passed unanimously. 3. Altieri, D. James - Appeal of Driveway Location Restriction. City Manager explained the policy requirement of the Town is to locate a driveway no closer than 100' from an intersection for traffic safety. Mr. Leon idenz, contractor representing Dr. Lltieri, requested .the driveway be located off '-nacapa Drive 60' from the inter- section of [;nacapa and St. Francis, which is a less heavily traveled .road and in accordance with the Health Department's. recommendation. This would allow for positioning a future corral which would be screened by landscaping. With the - `,}� driveway 100' from the intersection, the corral would of necessity be moved and any landscaping would present a blind intersection. -4-
