Review of Planning Commission Meeting:
Lands of Abrams to lower antenna to 40 feet. Many neighbors came to protest height and
width. Carl Cahill explained that this antenna could be modified but not denied.
Lands of Berger on La Paloma allowed a 6 foot solid wall as a fence. Neighbor upset
Review of Site and Fast Track meetings:
Conservation easement over swale on Lands of Blech not requested because water
collection less than 26 acres. This swale is below a proposed vineyard. We continue to
have concerns over water contamination from ever increasing #’s of hillside vineyards in
Los Altos Hills. Sandy will research the conservation easement limitation on creeks and
swales as well as water contamination.
Future Commitments: No joint community volunteer award identified.
Old Business:
Neela has completed the data collection and will represent MFA, Height, and the
presence of design guidelines in a graph. It has become evident that Los Altos Hills has
the highest and MFA, height, and no design guidelines to help assist residents confirm
with the rural nature of the town. We will present this information to some of the new
council after the election.
New Business: None
