New Business:
Robin Robison has tendered her resignation to the Committee. She stated she no longer
has the time required to do the job effectively. She has, however, agreed to continue to
act as the Committee’s representative on the Water Conservation subcommittee chaired
by John Harpootlian.
Sandy has found and given to the Committee the paper entitled “Criteria to Verify or
Identify a Watercourse as a Stream”.
Pat has asked for and received a copy of Sec.10-1.1105 Public Hearing: Notices.
Sandy reported that Nancy Couperus had asked her for a list of native riparian plants.
Sandy told her that the whole of the Los Altos Hills Landscape Recommendations,
together with its plant lists, was under review.
The affair of the St. Francis pines has been resolved. The water has been reconnected, a
back flow valve has been installed, and Mrs. Dougherty and Mr. Zunino will continue to
irrigate the trees.
The Committee has noticed that some of the plans submitted to and by Planning do not
have the details required to make them useful sheets of reference for the members of the
public who come to study them and use their information at various hearings such as Site
Development and Fast Track. The Committee will ask for this additional material to be
added whenever possible.
Meeting adjourned: 7.00 pm.
