CCNSENT CALENDAR:
It was moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded by Commissioner Schick that

1. LANDS OF MMERIE M. DIC[MISON, File #CU 8016-76, 25720 Altamont Road, Rist
r Re tram of Approval on Con U Use Permit for Secondary Dwelling.
The Planning Commission received pertinent information on the above use permit
in the Than Planner/Engineer's mmorandum dated February 10, 1977. Therefore,
discussion began immediately with Commissioners inquiring as to whether the
secondary dwelling met Town ordinance requirements for setbacks and whether the
use permit for the secondary duelling should be oaubined with the horse stabling
operation for the same applicant. Mr. Markl stated that the dwelling did meet
Setback requirements, and that while the application was originally forwarded to
the Council by the Planning Commission as a eodoined horse stable and secondary
dwelling, the Council had requested a separate use permit, but had waived the fees.
O mnissioier Schick inquired about adequate parking for both the horse operation
and the dwellings on the property. Considerable discussion following among Cao-
missicners and staff on whether more parking was needed in addition to the twenty
provided for the horse operation and the four parking places provided for the
main delling.
Chairman Hahn opened the hearing to the public.
hblenie M. Dickinson, Applicant, addressed the Commissioners on the subject of
the parking. She stated that parking spaces had been increased on the Property,

but that they were not specifically marked out. She stated that there was no
problem with the parking places for the dwellings on the property, since there
was only ore car for the occupant of the secondary dwellinq, and no great need
for two people for parking places for the main dwelling.
Thereafter the public hearing was closed, and Commissioner Schick continued the
questions m the subject property by asking if the secondary dwelling net all
electrical and building code r qu re ents. Mr. Cavae stated that it had to be
assumed, since the dwelling had been constructed prior to the existence of the
Town, that it was in compliance with the codes in effect at the time. Oxmdssion-
er Stewart, however, noted that since codes have changed so rapidly, it could
be difficult to grant a use permit to a duelling built even five years ago.
Commissioner Carioo noted that if the dwelling came in for alterations, the Town
could then require that it be brought up to present code standards. Discussion
was concluded, and the following motions made:

Mr. bblkl noted that he had inspected the promises of the subject property and
commented on the impressive view of the creek from the secondary duelling. He
noted further that the people notified of the public hearing and listed an
the use permit application were all adjoining property owners.
There was questioning on whether the setback requirements for the Town could be
met by the existing structure since the structure had been constructed before

3. IANDS OF JOHN M. FUZE, File #CU 8019-77, 27060 Old Tram Road, Request for
Recamen tion o Approval on Conditional Use Permit for Seomdary Dwelling.
Town Engineer Russell addressed the Commissicners with information on the subject
request, noting that it came about because the applicant wishes to ebtain a
building permit to remodel the secondary structure. Further information can be
obtained by consulting his memorandum to the Commissioners dated February 18, 1977.
He noted further that both structures on the ten acre parcel had been constructed
prior to the incorporation of the Town.
Omudssioner Schick inquired about what portion of Mr. Fowle's property was under
the Williamson Act, asking if the use permit would be approved, would the Town
be violating the provisions of this Act, Eh'. Russell stated that there were
two or three some removed from Williamson Act dedication for the purpose of
serving the living quarters on the parcel.
4W Commissioner Schick asked if, with the new construction, would the secondary
dwelling camply with codes. Mr. Russell stated that the duelling world be brought
up to code requirements, and stated further that both buildings have ample setback
areas. Also, there were more than eight parking places on the premises.
Oommdssioner Stewart asked about the slope density requirements and if further
subdividing could take place. Mr. Russell stated that the property could be
subdivided into seven parcels if Mr. Fogle wished to do so.
Commissioner Stewart asked for clarification of the code requirements on the
amount of square footage allewed for a secondary duelling (page 283, Section 9-5.214-
Nnanicipal Code of Los Altos Hills).
Chaivman Hahn opened the public hearing; and when no one responded, he closed it.

(Berry RUI FanW, , Engineer, Request for Recamendation of Approval
of Tentative Map.
Information m the subject parcel was contained in the Town Planner/Engineer's
memorandum dated February 18, 1977, and so discussion began immediately with
Ocumiissimer Stewart inquiring about access to Parcel C of the three parcel
tract. Mr. Stewart also inquired about what connections to the private mad,
Mom Lane, would be planned by the subdividers, remarking, however, that the
residents of Moab Lane did not wish to be connected with the subdivision.
Mr. Russell noted that a way of retaining the privacy of Moat Lane was to require
a spite strip at the end of the road in the name of the Town.
Vdhen Ca m ssioner Schick asked what provision was made for access across the
parcel for people boarding horses at Rancho de Los Caballos, one of the parcels,
Tam Engineer Russell stated that they would have access off Page Mill Road. He
noted that in the future, this part of the properly would be blocked off from the
remaining parcels intended for subdivision.
Chairman Hahn opened the hearing to the public.
Mr. Eduard J. Ames, Applicant addressed the Camissioners with reasons for his
request tors rvisim. Parcel A would be a horse ranch which would be sold.
Parcel S is intended for subdivision, and Parcel C, held at present for financial
and tax reasons, will eventually be used for haresites for himself and Mr. Calleotti.
He stated that he had no intention of using Mom Lane for any type of access to his
property.
Jack Cham, 13822 Page Mill Road stated that he noticed a forty foot wide street
p�anma to ii�e e`age 01 the subject property which sewed to suggest a future
connection to Moa: Lane. He reiterated that the residents of Moon Lane wanted
to keep it a private mad. He also called attention to the cloudy issue of the
title to Moon Lane.
John Clegg,�En ineer for the Applicant addressed the issue of Moon Lane, saying
that the applicant has no mtentrms of getting involved in the problems of
Moos Lane, nor do they wish to use the too narrow Moon lane. He said that the
mad was placed where it is because if in the future residents of the private
road wished to connect to the Ames property it would be available. He suggested
that a barricade might be placed across the access to Mom Lane to prevent anyone
using it for an access road.
`, 'h:ere was discussion among Cam mssioners on. the matter of access between the three
parcels, with Commissioner Stewart expressing the need for showing the tentative
road connections; between Arastradero and Page Mill Roads.

John Clegg, Engineer for the Applicant discussed the issue of access to the
parcels, notin4 at a l m separating Parcel A from Parcels B and C
with cul-de-sac aceessess bo Parcels B and C did away with the undesirable
amount of excavation that was undesirable from the Town's viewpoint. He stated
further that the access to Page Mill Road would be through steep terrain.
Mr. Russell, however, suggested that the Planning Conmissiol Could reserve sale
area on Parcel A if the horse operation were found to be unprofitable and a de-
cision to subdivide were madesotetime in the future.
Fhen Camdssioner Young asked about Pathway Cu ttee recamendations, he was
bold that the present map was for the purpose of separating the seventy -me acres
into three parcels. The Pathway Committee will have the opportunity to suggest
paths when the separated parcels cone in for subdivision.
Discussion Continued for sere time betcen the applicant, his engineer, staff
and Commissioners on the wisdom of providing mutual accesses across the parcels
for the purpose of present and future subdivisions. Discussion before and after
a recess which lasted fran 10:05 to 10:20 ended with the following motions being
made to accomodate accesses:
4W wTi N swamm AND CARRIED: It was moved by Ca aiissiauer Carico and seconded by
C.mnissiouer Stewart to delete Conditions 1 and 2 and to add a fourth edition.
The motion passed by unanimous vete.
M7PICN SECCT7® AND CARRIED: It was moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded
by Ccuu&ssioner Carico that a Condition 1 should be added which should read as

for it.
M ON SEIXRIDID AND CARRIID: It was moved by Commissioner Stewart and seconded
by Camuissioner Carico to add the following as Condition 2: Reserve easenents for

Camiissiouers Carico and Young voting against it. Thereafter, Commissioner Young
stated that the phraseology of the motion was not sufficiently clear to provide
a legal requi repent, and in this case, legal advice was needed. Commissioner Carieo
stated that the Commissioners were requiring something without being fully aware
of what they were asking.
Mtten Coarmssioter Stewart inquired about any requirement frau the Santa Clara
County Water District, he was told that the Town was still planning inprocements

6. CDOPaw WAY sunDivisicN File i!•II4 2041-76, Page Mill Road and Three Forks Lane,
a , g , t for Recomendation of Approval
of Resubmitted Tentative Map for Subdivision.
Than Engineer Russell reviewed for the Camnlssion pertinent information contained
in his memorandum to them of February 19. Thereafter, City Manager Crone mentioned
that another item for discussion ewe from the Council level when the application
for subdivision was discussed, that item being the question that even though the
comber of lots in the subdivision was allowable under slope density requirerants,
were there too many lots for the existing topography? Ca ssiouer Carie asked
if Mr. Cro a were referring to Lots 1, 2, and 16 and the possibility that they
would have to cone in for variances to accomodate certain features on the lots.
At 10:42 a recess was called. The meeting resumed at 10:53.
Chairman Hahn noted for the record that in addition to the staff report three
letters had been received from concerned residents; and Mr. Russell requested
further that the record show that letters had been received from Michael Kuranoff,
Bonnie M. Davis, M.D., and Wallace Stegner. Cammissioer Young asked that the
record also reflect that omnissicners had received,on Veterans Administration
Hospital letterhead, a letter from Kenneth L.Davis, M.D. and Borrie M. Davis, M.D.
regarding the subject application for subdivision.
Mr. Russell enu crated the questions raised by his mmsrorandon in reference to lots
being able to accartrodate artenities such as a hone, swimming pool, tennis court,
as well as the problems of fault locations and setback areas from them. He stated
that the Town Geologist had never raised the question of increasing the setback
area from the fault line even when several different proposals had )neem sent to him.
Ile noted further that the cross slope calculations were not o far as 3/9177
other areas of the Town were concerned. He reoamended a Type II foundation to C-Ltw,
be used to te the slope. He noted that the twenty foot energe,cy fire
road wouldWmtter as a road of variable width to ac=m,,dat, the trees. He reommmen-
ded the construction of short retaining walls to cut dawn the scarring of the hill -
44W side. Also, he said that he did not remmend that the easement for the fire road
be ernambered in the conservation easement. Mr. Russell questioned if the conserva-
tion easement were really necessary, but said that if the emergency access were

not retained, then the public utility easerent should be retained for the purpose
of providing a gravity sewer line that will eventually hook up to the Page Mill
Road line. Mr. Russell said that he did not recamend the access easerent
frau the Country Way Subdivision to the adjoining* property owned by the Palo Alto
School District, saying that you cannot legislate provisions for a third party,
and it was unfair to ask this of a subdivider. He ended his presentation by asking
Mr. Bahl if he would be auuenable to a tenant restricting tennis courts on
Lots 1, 2 and 16 of his subdivision.
Commissioner Schick began the discussion by stating that she wished to go on record
as questioning if it was the intent of the Torun ordinance to require that every
lot in the Tann be able to accamiodate every amenity they desire, since many of
the lots presently developed cannot hold a swinming pool, tennis court and corral.
She referred to Mr. McReynolds, who came before Council for a variance even though
he awned approx tely five acres but could not aceomedate the cited anenities
on his property because of the terrain.
Commissioner Carico noted that she and Mr. Russell had gone and looked at the
subdivision area under consideration, and that she could see that the fire road
as recamended by the Camhissioners would create problems if the Cc mission in-
sisted it stay as recamended. She reconended deleting Condition 4, to remove
the fire road fran the conservation easment and to make it a meandering easement
to accomodate the public utilities, sanitary sewers, and e¢ergency access road.
She also questioned if the Cc miissian should allow the road to cone out into
two blind curves. She recamended cutting into the triangular area on one of
the lots so that the road cares in adjacent to Three Forks Lane.
Mr. Hahn asked if the request for the fire road was a necessary one or one for
the future. Mr. Russell noted that the Fire Departnent's concern was for roads
to fight brush fires in the canyon, and Mus. Carico added that there was a need
to hate a way of rescuing people who fall off horses while riding in the canyon
area. Mr. Russell said that he had requested Mr. Farwell to appear to explain
his requests for a fire road, but that he had been told that it was not the
policy of the Fire DeparGrent to appear at Planting Commission meetings. (hair
man Hahn terminated the discussion by opening the hearing to the public.
Fh. DonBahl, Applicant said that the fault people keep referring to is only a
fault trace. It not moved since 5,000 B.C., a long time ago. He noted that he
had spent an additional $1200.00 in geological fees to trace the fault line that
ons between lots 1 and 2. He called attention to the fact that the residential
structures would not be placed across the fault trace, noting that if he had not
spent the money to find the fault trace the Commission might legitimately require
a fifty foot setback fran it.
When asked about changing the configuration of the road, he stated that he did
not care where Country Way Subdivision road canes into Page Mill Road, but stated
that anythingui.h�to Three Forks Lane does not benefit him./u He did not cause the
problem.

6. Qx]Nfld WAY SUBDIVISION, File VIM 2091-76: (continued)
in discussion that followed, Conmissi mer Young noted that Las Altos Hills is
not located in the valley and subject to the liquifying mud that other ccumni.ties
bordering it are, and that Mr. Bahl had presented a good case for the twenty-five
foot setback.
Mrs Fiksdal, Pathway Oo mdttee Chairwomen asked what happened to the tunraxdmd
on ' ie�r moire access road andwaste they were rejected by Council. She stated
that she would be content with a ten foot wide path, but noted that the path she
was requesting was one that was much needed as adross-country trail for hikers
and horse -back riders. She said she supported the platys that came on the tentative
map. Mien asked by Co=.'ssicner Stewart if they did not have a fire road, would
a five foot meandering access suffice, Mrs. Fiksdal said that it would be agreeable.
She reiterated that this path would link Page Mill Road close to I.S. 280 to the
path system that terminated at Duvenek' a ranch at the other end of the Town.
Mr. Russell again reiterated that the Cmmissioners should not get an emergency
access road in with a conservation easement. These two easements should be com-
pletely separate.
Wallace Stegner, South Fork Lane objected to Mrs. Medal's request for a path
ani stated t�Fiat Mr. FSIs request would scar the hillside and was also un -
tar He said that a fire should be fought by other means such as an air-
plane
irplane rather than through a fire road access. He recommended putting in a minimal
path and keeping bikers and horses off the path. Be added also that if he were
planning the subdivision, he world have a conservation easement only, without
even a path. To Mrs. Schick's questioning if he rejected the fire mad request,
he stated emphatically yes, and added that there is another link to the path
system, not as direct, but a link that could be used to accomplish Mrs. Fiksdal's aims.
Discussion Continued on the sewer eassment with Mr. Russell pointing out that
he was thinking of the future. Onn Black Mountain and Edgerton there were no sewers
but there will be sewers in the future, and an easement was needed to provide for
this. Mr. Russell, after Mr. Young questioned Mr. Stegner on any suggestions he
had for improving the Country Way Subdivision mad, stated that Mr. Bahl needn't
assure any reponsibility for improving his mad to accomodate Three Forks Lane.
There was further discussion on the alternate pathway link that is complete to
Edgerton and could connect through the Koo property, and thereafter the public
hearing was closed.
Discussion untimed on the matter of where and what kind of easements should be
required. Mrs. Carico stated, midpoint in the discussion that she wished to go
on moord as stating that this is one of the tines when the naps they have been
requesting would have been most helpful. She noted she was not sure how necessary
a utility easement in this particular location is. Discussion was concluded with
♦ Mr. Russell's pointing out that having a sewer easement would indicate future
Jnr planning and negate the need to condemn the land for sewers in the future. huh. Young
also pointed out that a cand®ming agency could possibly come in and take twenty-five
or thirty feet with no attention paid to the Town+s concerns.

the following requirement: A min zum ten foot flexible easeneitalong the easterly
boundary line of the tract for public utilities, sanitary sewers, equestrian -pedes-
trian use, the westerly boundary line of said easement to coincide with the easterly
line of the conservation easerent, and that the easement be laid out with consul-
tation with the Town Staff and the developer. The motion failed with Commissioners
Schick and Young voting for it and Commissioners Carico and Hahn against. Commission-
er Stewart abstained.

easement along time easterly side of the subdivision from the Koo Subdivision,
Tract 5762, to Page Mill Road shall be granted by the applicant, and the easement
shall be granted for public utilities and sanitary sewers. The motion passed
with Commissioners Young, Schick and Hahn voting for it and Camiissioners Carico
and Stewart voting against it.
Discussion followed thereafter on the matter of realigning Countryway with
Mr. Russell advising moving the road to a right angle and letting other residents
of Three Forks Lane ocnnect to the new road. He noted that Mr. Bahr has the ease-
ment, and that Mr. Bahl does not have the responsibility for connecting to Three
Forks Lane. W. Russell noted also that realigning the road also raises the
question of deleting one of the lots.
The hour being after midnight, it was moved by Commissioner Schick, seconded by
commissioner Carico and unanimously passed to continue through the Lands of Bahl
and than to adjourn.
Mr. Bahl stated that somewhere, sometime, something must be done to Three Forks
Lane. He also suggested that it would be better for Contryway and Three Forks
Lane to come together at the same point, also noting that there is a left hand
stacking curve now. He noted that the road will be wider when inproved and stated
%W
that the problem is more the downhill traffic rather than the uphill traffic.
After Commissioner Stewart expressed concern for rear -ending accidents that could
occur in the stacking lane, it was decided to ask Mr. Bahl to return to the next
