C. Announcements.
i. Yoriko Kishimoto (MROSD Board Member representing LAH) provided a brief update on MROSD
activities. Mount Umunhum and La Honda Creek areas are now open to the public. Bear Creek will
open next year and next round of projects funded under Measure AA are in the planning stages.
ii. Articles for Town Newsletter on LAH Persons of Note. Jitze Couperus wrote an interesting article
on Alfred Barnitz Byrnes (who donated land for Byrne Preserve) that will appear in the next issue of
the Town newsletter. An article on Mary Davey, who helped create the Preserve, will follow.
iii. Wildlife Corridor Talk. Pathways for Wildlife and Committee for Green Foothills will present a
wildlife talk on Feb 28, 2018 at Mitchell Park Community Center in Palo Alto. Tanya Diamond and
Ahiga Snyder will share their current research on wildlife habitat permeability in the Santa Cruz
Mountains and Coyote Valley.
iv. Wildlife Film. Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST), MROSD, and Pathways for Wildlife will
present a free screening of the documentary film, “The Cat That Changed America”, on Saturday,
April 7, 2018 at the Los Gatos High School Theater. The film describes the life of mountain lion,
P22, who lives in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The film will be followed by a discussion of efforts
to protect and enhance wildlife corridors on the Peninsula and in the South Bay.
v. OSC Membership. SS’s term ends in February. She plans to apply to continue as an Associate
Member. Members were asked to try to identify potential new members.
vi. Top Elegant Investment Subdivision. City Council reviewed this project at the regular Council
meeting on Jan 18, 2018 and voted to send the project back to the Planning Commission.
2. New Business
A. Drones in Open Space. OSC discussed whether to institute a policy to prohibit drones in Town-owned
open space preserves. National Parks prohibit drones; drone policy in CA state parks is set by the
superintendent for each park. OSC agreed no action was needed in LAH at this time.
B. Project Coordination. KG led discussion on how OSC can improve communication with staff and the
public about OSC issues, including:
i. Creek signs. Jacob has made all the creek signs (one or two for each creek and three for Moody
Creek). KG and JS will coordinate with him on installation. All docs have been submitted to USGS
for naming Moody Creek. USGS will meet again in July.
ii. Website Info. OSC discussed options for posting OSC information for the public on the Town web
(e.g., weed flyers, wildlife and rodenticide info, other brochures). City Manager supports this.
iii. Database for OSC reviews. OSC discussed options for organizing OSC property reviews and
supporting information where it can be easily accessed by committee members and planners. The
Town has adopted a tracking system (Trackit) for new development projects, but access to historical
records is still a problem. KG will identify a staff member to help with Trackit.
iv. Educating staff and public. It was suggested that OSC members attending Senior Hikes and Parks &
Recreation walks could help identify native plants, weeds, and creek issues.
v. Distribution of OSC Property Reviews. OSC discussed a new practice by some planners to provide
OSC property reviews without modification directly to site development applicants. OSC reports are
OSC FINAL_Minutes18-0208.docx 3/9/18 2
public but are intended to be advisory to staff—i.e., observations and recommendations for staff to
evaluate and use (or not) in their staff reports for projects. Council Liaison Spreen will clarify with
staff. OSC will add a statement on the OSC review form clarifying that observations and
recommendations are for staff to evaluate (and adopt or not) and text of policies and ordinances
supporting OSC recommendations.
vi. Arundo removal. KG reported that removal of arundo from local creeks requires a Stream
Alteration Permit from CDFW. Monterey and Napa counties have programs to work with private
landowners to help them remove this pest plant. KG will write to SCVWD about starting a similar
program in LAH. LAH City Manager, Carl Cahill has express support. SCVWD holds an easement
over the section of Adobe Creek across El Monte from the fire station on Foothill College) and has
agreed to remove the large infestation of arundo there. KG will also ask whether SCVWD wants to
enlarge the existing easement on Adobe Creek to reduce costs for Town and private landowners.
vii. New Seminar Speaker. OSC discussed inviting Dr. Ann Kerimidjian, Professor of Civil and
Environmental Engineering at Stanford to give a talk on earthquakes for the general public. GC
moved that OSC arrange and host this talk. SW seconded and the vote was unanimously in
favor (GC, NC, KG, AS, SS, JS, SW).
viii. Planning project attorneys at OSC meetings. City Manager Carl Cahill informed OSC that in the
future, an attorney representing a developer who has plans under review by the Town may speak at
OSC meetings or site visits only if the LAH City Attorney is also present.
D. Revised Site Review Forms. KG distributed revised site review form for committee review
(Attachment C). Members should attach all supporting documents to the review (maps, photos, relevant
conditions of approval from prior development, easement CRs, adjacent OSEs, etc). OSC members
were asked to review the form and bring edits and suggestions to the March meeting.
E. Earth day 2018. This annual event will be held Sunday April 15 (1 to 4 pm) at Westwind Community
Barn. The wild cats will perform and OSC will have a table. KG will create a 1-page handout for the
public with info about coyotes, invasive weeds, and other OS issues.
3. Planning
A. Fence Permit Reviews.
i. 12950 Robleda Road.
Dec 7, 2017 Planning Commission (PC) meeting. Developers submitted a fence permit requesting a
5-ft post and wire 3,300 -linear-foot perimeter fence around the 12-acre parcel. OSC sent a
preliminary recommendation (not reviewed by full OSC) to PC recommending either no fence or
wildlife permeable fence around CE areas and no fence in swale areas.
Dec 7, 2017 Planning Commission (PC) Meeting. PC reviewed the fence permit. They had concerns
about fencing in conservation easement areas that had been proposed for earlier development
projects (but never dedicated) and impact on rural character and wildlife movement. PC continued
the item and recommended the owners return with a modified proposal. A number of neighbors
spoke and requested that the new fence not obstruct wildlife movement in the area or block the
neighborhood pathway used by local residents.
Owners submitted a revised fence plan to the Town dated 1/05/18 that reduced fence length to 2,720
linear feet; increased setback from Robleda Road and from utility easements along the NE and SE
borders; and proposed a 5-ft high three rail fence (without wire mesh) for the majority of perimeter
fence (except for a 160 ft run of 6-ft high solid fence along the NE border adjacent to a pathway).
Jan 11, 2018 OSC Meeting. OSC discussed the 1/05/18 revised fence plan and submitted formal
recommendations to PC focused on maintaining permeability to wildlife in the CE areas. These
included prohibiting fencing in areas proposed as CE, or if fencing were permitted, to requiring use
of one-rail or two-rail open fence for these CE areas, rather than the 5-ft high three-rail fence the
owners proposed. Both the 5-foot top rail height and the closely spaced three rails (only 12 to 15
inch spacing) are barriers to wildlife. OSC recommended several alternative fence styles that are
easier for wildlife to pass through without injury (e.g., fence on the adjacent property on Brendel
Drive or the fences on Mir Mirou and Taaffe). OSC also recommended providing short breaks in the
fence at active wildlife trails, and not running the fence across the two drainages on the eastern
portion of the parcel.
OSC FINAL_Minutes18-0208.docx 3/9/18 3
Feb 01, 2018 PC Meeting. PC reviewed the 1/05/18 revised fence permit. Owners now reported
they plan to keep horses and need a higher fence. Following extensive discussion about horse
fencing and wildlife permeable fence designs, PC continued the project with a request to modify the
fence to a 54- to 60-inch high, two-rail structure with a 24-inch clearance at the bottom; and to
provide more information about the drainage swales (headwater tributaries of Purisima Creek)..
Feb 8, 2018 OSC meeting. OSC reviewed the 1/05/08 fence plan and recommendations from the
Feb 01 PC meeting. OSC discussed options for wildlife-permeable horse fences, including suitable
existing wildlife permeable fences in LAH and fence ordinances in Portola Valley and other
jurisdictions. Fencing to keep horses out of the swale area was also discussed. After lengthy
discussion, OSC recommended an unpainted fence, no higher than 54 inches, with two rails and 18
inches of clearance below the bottom rail and at least 24 inches of clearance between the two rails
(Attachment A). NC moved that OSC revised their fence recommendation as described above
and in Attachment A and the attached drawing to Erin Horan and the PC. Fencing should be
kept out of the swale area. Owners should also be reminded to remove the large stinkwort
infestation on the parcel. KG seconded and the vote was unanimously in favor (GC, NC, KG,
AS, SS, JS, SW).
B. OSC Site Reviews and Recommendations for Development Projects.
i. 14195 Wild Plum Lane (Lands of X; APN X; file#). The reason for OSC review is a landscape plan
and fence. The parcel is on the south side of Wild Plum (east off Manuella), one lot away from
Adobe Creek and within designated Open Space Conservation Area. RC and JS made a site visit. KG
moved that OSC recommend the Town request the following 1) extend the existing OSE in the
southeast corner to protect the sloped area of the oaks grove (revision is drawn on the plans,
Attachment B); 2) remove barb-wire from fence. The vote was unanimously in favor (GC, NC,
KG, AS, SS, JS, SW).
4. Continuing Business
A. Grant Application to Santa Clara Valley Water District. Grassroots Ecology submitted a pollution
prevention grant to SCVWD on Jan 12. The goal is to improve the wetland area in the lower Westwind
Barn. Grassroots Ecology anticipates hearing from SCVWD by April or May.
B. WWCB weed management. OSC volunteers will continue to remove invasives in the lower WWCB
area over the winter.
C. Grassroots Ecology Update. Byrne Brigade workdays for planting, invasive weed removal, and other
work in the preserves will be held every Monday from Jan 22 through end of March. Weeding work is
focusing on removal of milk thistle and the remaining purple star thistle rosettes.
D. Rodenticide Use in Town; Education and Actions. GC’s info about the dangers of using rodenticides to
kill rodents was posted on Nextdoor and the Town web site. The article includes info on safer
management alternatives and links to other information sources.
E. Site Development and Fast Track Review Meetings. OSC members were reminded to volunteer to
attend these important planning meetings (held Tuesdays at 10 am) to provide input on potential impact
of proposed development projects on creeks, trees, and other conservation resources.
5. Open Discussion
A. Field Trip to O’Keeffe OSP. Maybe next month.
6. Communications from the Floor. None.
7. Adjournment.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:15 am

To: Erin Horan, LAH Assistant Planner
Date: February 9, 2018
From: Open Space Committee
Subject: Fence Recommendation – 12950 Robleda Road
At its February 8th meeting, the members of the Open Space Committee reviewed
the motion made at the February 1st Planning Commission meeting and offered its
recommendation on how best to provide a wildlife-friendly horse fence for the
property at 12950 Robleda Road.
Planning Commission motion – February 1, 2018:
“Move to continue item 4.2 to the March 1st Planning Commission meeting to allow the
developer to redesign and modify the fence to a two‐rail structure with a 24‐inch
clearance at the bottom, 54‐60 inches tall, and provide more clarity on the swales
Issue.”
The Open Space Committee (OSC) supports the Planning Commission’s motion,
with the following modifications for the height of the horse fence and spacing of
rails. The OSC recommends a two-rail fence that is no more than 4 ½ feet high
(54 inches).
We base this recommendation on evidence that horses can be confined by a 4-feet
high fence. As a specific example for instance, Portola Valley’s horse fence ordinance
18.43.030 limits horse fencing to 4 feet as follows:
18.43.030 Height
Fences in residential zoning districts are subject to the following height limits.
• Horse fences shall not exceed four feet in height.
• Fences adjacent to public trails and paths in districts requiring a
minimum parcel area of one acre or more shall not exceed four feet in
height.
Instead of creating a 24-inch space at the bottom, the OSC research on animal
movement recommends an 18-inch space at the bottom and a 24-inch space
between the bottom and top rails. With two 2x6-inch rails, the fence would be 54
inches high, as recommended.
The placing of the rails with a wider space at the top will allow some deer to pass
through more easily, without being forced to jump the fence.
For aesthetic purposes, the fence-posts themselves should be allowed to project a
further 4 inches above the top rail to a maximum height of 58 inches.
These measures we believe will ensure effective containment of horses, while also
allowing for some movement of wildlife.
Additionally, the OSC, as stated previously, supports the Planning Commission
concerns about allowing horses in the drainage swales:
Fencing should avoid the drainage swales in the eastern portion of the
parcel. These swales drain into Robleda Creek, tributary of Adobe Creek,
on the adjacent parcel on La Rena. The OSC recommends running the fence
along a contour above the top of the swales and to keep horses out of these
drainages.
