Present: Mayor Johnson and Councilmembers Dauber, Hubbard, Siegel and Tryon Absent: None Staff: City Manager Les Jones, II, City Attorney Sandy Sloan, Director of Public Works Jeff Peterson, Town Planner Linda Niles and Consultant Karen Jost Press: Jan Shaw, Town Crier 2. APPOINTMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS 2.1 Appointments to Environmental Design and Protection Committee Applicant Shelley Doran was unable to attend this evening's meeting due to a prior commitment. Mayor Johnson noted that the Council had previously interviewed the applicant. Dr. Dexter Hake, 12830 Viscaino Road, was introduced to the Council. He is a longtime resident of Los Altos Hills and brings to the Committee a strong interest in California native plants. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously to appoint Shelley Doran and Dr. Dexter Hake to the Environmental Design and Protection Committee for terms of two years. 3. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT Planning Commissioner Dot Schreiner reported on the Planning Commission meeting of July 14, 1993. She noted that Commissioners Sinunu and Ellinger were absent. Planning Commissioner Takammo was swom in prior to the meeting by City Clerk Pat Dowd in a public ceremony. The Planning Commission had before them 3 applications. The first, Lands of MacDonald, 11800 Francemont Road, was continued from a previous meeting. The applicant had been asked to make certain modifications to his original plan including the reconfiguration of his driveway. The applicant did redesign his driveway and show the necessary easements on his plan as requested, however, he did not make any modifications to the house. Initially, the major concern of this project was it's location in the 100 year flood plain. Numerous surveys of the site had been required during the subdivision process and following further research on this issue, the Director of Public Works determined that the basement, as shown on the plans, was illegal and not to code. The applicant was informed of this ruling shortly before the meeting. He was given the option of having the project reviewed at the meeting with the basement not being considered as part of the application. After considering his options, the applicant requested that the Planning Commission consider granting him an additional 700 square feet of living space in exchange for the basement. It was noted that he did have enough floor area (MFA) available to permit this addition. The project was approved by a 3-2 vote. The no votes were cast because of continuing concerns over the bulk of the house and it's orientation. In several places it is sited very close to a Town path. The second application, Lands of Ahrens, 13711 Old Altos Road, was a request for a site development permit for a new residence, guest house and garage. This application borders Adobe Creek and is located in the 100 year flood plain. The main dwelling and the secondary dwelling have been raised to allow flood waters to flow under the units. The garage is located in the flood plain (grade level), but as a non -habitable structure this is permitted by code. The primary concern of the Planning Commission with this application was the protection and preservation of the large Heritage Oak trees on the property during the building process. The project was approved with conditions. The applicant will be required to have a certified arborist monitor and maintain the trees during construction. The property also has several Conservation Easements and a Santa Clara Valley Water District drainage easement. The Conservation Easement nearest to the creeks was removed by the Planning Commission by a unanimous vote and a new Conservation Easement was placed near the secondary dwelling. Planning Commissioner Schreiner noted that she is investigating changing her vote for the record on this issue. She misunderstood the motion and feels that the Conservation Easement nearest to Adobe Creek is vital and should not be removed. The third application before the Planning Commission was the Lands of Puri, 12775 Viscaino Road. The applicant is asking for a variance to allow for gates and entry pillars. The Commission was provided background information regarding the historical July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting significance of the property and the requested gates/pillars. The property is presently over it's development area (MDA). All development numbers were "grandfathered" in. The issue of safety was raised by a neighbor but the Director of Public Works assured the Commission this was not a problem. The applicant believed the project had been approved and the gates and pillars have been constructed. They were shown on previously submitted drawings. The Planning Commission considered this application from an historical viewpoint, noting that variance findings were made to approach the application in this manner. The application was approved unanimously. 4.

The public hearing would be set for September 1, 1993. 4.5 Award of Contract for Pavement Management Road Improvements - Phase II - Reso # Councilmember Siegel referring to the Pavement Management Study that was done for the Town 5 years ago, noted that it detailed a plan for street maintenance. The plan calls for 13 streets to be included in the 1993 work program. The contract under discussion, however, calls for work to be done solely on EI Monte, Concepcion and La Paloma. He asked the Director of Public Works to clarify whether the Town has been following the plan as outlined and to what degree. Peterson explained that the plan has been followed fairly closely but the further out you are from the initial year of the report --the less accurate it is. It is necessary to allow for changes. Streets other than those that were anticipated to need maintenance by the report have deteriorated and it is critical that they be repaired. The Director of Public Works noted that due to time constraints he is unable to have another study completed this Fiscal Year. Siegel questioned whether it was realistic to do another study because of the Town's limited funds. He noted that an "in house" project maybe a viable alternative. Peterson is considering this possibility but needs to first research Congestion Management requirements for the Town. July 21, 1993 Regular City Cowed Meeting MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Tryon and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #49-93 approving the Pavement Management Road Improvement Phase B, Fiscal Year 1992-93 and awarding the contract to O'Grady Pavement, Inc. 4.7 Approval of Joint Powers Agreement for Participation in the Santa Clara County Community Development Block Grant Program 1994, 1995 and 1996 --Reso # The City Attorney commented that she has received several modifications from the County of Santa Clara to the Agreement before the Council. She has reviewed them and finds them acceptable. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously to adopt Reso #50-93 approving the Joint Powers Agreement for Participation in the Santa Clara County Community Development Block Grant Program 1994, 1995 and 1996 as amended. 4.10 Request for waiver of fees for Eagle Scout Project at St. Nicholas School Councilmember Dauber questioned whether the project at St. Nicholas School should be subsidized by taxpayers adding that it was a private group and the action could possibly set a precedent. Following Council discussion it was determined that the Town would benefit from the proposed Eagle Scout drainage project located at EI Monte and it would be appropriate for Town to absorb the cost of the fees for this project. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dauber, seconded by Tryon and passed unanimously to approve the request to waive fees for the Eagle Scout Project at St. Nicholas School. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 5.1 Request to extend the Memorandum of Understanding with Los Altos Garbage Company--Reso # Mayor Johnson explained the necessity of the extension to the MOU which expires July 31, 1993. He noted that the contract is presently being negotiated and the franchise agreement is expected to come to closure in September. The City Attorney has recommended a 60 day extension. Siegel commented that he would like to schedule a Council workshop session prior to the September Council Meeting. At the session, the City Attorney should present the status of the agreement and any major issues that are unresolved between LAGCO and the Town to the Council. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Dauber and passed unanimously to schedule a Council Study Session for September 1, 1993 at 4:30 p.m. for the purpose of reviewing the status of the franchise agreement between the Town and Los Altos Garbage Company. Siegel added that he felt it would be most beneficial for the cities serviced by the Los Altos Garbage Company to establish an inter -city committee to share information. He noted the cities of Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno and Campbell in the West Valley have formed a committee and presently are conducting a joint audit of services. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To request the Mayor to contact the Mayors of cities serviced by LAGCO and explore the feasibility of an ongoing inter -city committee that would share information on garbage, recycling and related issues. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Tryon and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution #51-93 extending the Memorandum of Understanding with Los Altos Garbage Company. 5.3 Review and amendment of Resolution Establishing Standing Committees_ Reso # L This item was moved to Council Initiated Items --Item 9.3 6. NEW BUSINESS 6.1 Request from David Packard for consideration in concept of Zoning Code Amendment to add non-profit office use to allowed uses in the Residential Zone. Mayor Johnson explained that the issue before the Council tonight was a consideration in concept of a zoning amendment. Reading from the staff report prepared by the Town Planner, he noted that this was not a formal application and that the Council could not review the detailed merits and deficiencies of the project which has not yet been submitted to the Town. David Packard, applicant --26580 Taalfe Road, addressed the Council. He explained the importance of the project to his family and the David and Lucde Packard Foundation (Packard Foundation). The property in question has been owned by the family for many years. The residence was built in 1959. Over the course of years, the site has increased to approximately 85 acres with many of those planted as apricot orchards Packard noted that the plans before the Council are in concept only and he assured the Council that every effort will be made to minimize the impact on the site and surrounding neighborhood. Packard added that their plans also include conservation and planting July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 4 measures for apricots and Valley Oaks and extensive plans for Open Space. Initial studies �✓ have shown the impact to the site to be substantially less than if the property was subdivided. Cole Wilburn, Executive Director --Packard Foundation, addressed the Council. He summarized for the Council the activities of the Foundation. Noting that the community benefits from the Foundation in numerous ways including: grants to Hidden Villa, local art group support, assistance to the disadvantaged, educational programs, and grants for research of children's health issues. The Foundation is nonprofit and participates in national and international programs. Julie Maser --Hoover Associates, the applicant's architect, referred to the drawings that were on view for Council. The rendered elevation showed the project to be residential in character with natural materials being used for construction. The structures were nestled amongst the trees and mitigated by the existing residence. Maser added that this was a very preliminary look at the project. Siegel questioned whether underground parking had been considered for the project. Maser commented that the design use of landscaping will be used to mask the parking area from the street, adding that the parking will be divided into two areas. Ned Shapker, resident, addressed the Council. His property borders the Packard property and questioned which road would be used as an access to the proposed project. Maser noted that Taaffe Road is the proposed access route using the existing driveway as the entrance. Dauber voiced her concerns about traffic to the site. She referred to the project engineer's report before the Council. The applicant responded that the Foundation has plans to provide cafeteria services for employees and stager the work hours which should help to diminish the traffic congestion. Dauber noted her concern was with Taaffe as the access route. Tryon expressed her concerns over changes in the zoning code and setting a precedent for future projects. She added that she was pleased to learn that the project called for extensive acreage to be dedicated to the preservation of apricot orchards and Oak woodland thus benefiting the Town and helping to maintain the rural character of the land. This could be used as a specific requirement for the Conditional Use Permit helping to prevent the misuse of the zoning change. Siegel added that the ordinance change should be framed (tailored) to this specific site with requirements for open space preservation and it's maintenance thus preventing any misuse of the new Conditional Use category. Siegel added that the requirements for the ordinance should be specific to enable the public to best understand the intentions of the Council. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meering 7 Mayor Johnson suggested that a Council subcommittee be formed to review the project. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: A Council Subcommittee of Hubbard and Tryon be formed to review the project in concept and report to the Council at the first City Council Meeting in September. 6.2 Request for approval for naming streets in the Taaffe subdivision Council had before them a letter from James Orr Taaffe, the applicant, requesting approval for street names on private roads in the Taaffe subdivision. It was noted that the names were acceptable to the Los Altos Fire Department and the Town Historian. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Hubbard to approve the name change as requested if it is detemtined that the lots affected are vacant. A public hearing shall be set for the first City Council Meeting in September if lots are privately owned by anyone other than the applicant. 6.3 Authorization to Contract for Animal Control Services Council had before them a staff report prepared by the City Manager outlining the proposals from the Humane Society of Santa Clara County and the City of Palo Alto for animal control services. Council discussed the benefits of using the services of Palo Alto noting that Los Altos recently contracted with them and this would add continuity to the program for residents and a better response time. The City Manager added that a majority of the cost difference between the proposals would be mitigated by licensing fees charged by Palo Alto on behalf of the Town. Siegel requested the City Manager ask the County to return to the Town fees charged to residents for licensing of animals this year. The refund could be pro -rated. Siegel added that the residents should be informed of the change of service from the County to the new contractor and a lead article in the Town Newsletter would be most beneficial. Gregory B. Betts, Superintendent Animal Services Division, City of Palo Alto, addressed the Council regarding the proposal. He noted that the numbers used in the initial proposals are estimates and would be reviewed in the future after they have experience in the actual number of animals handled and calls for service received. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously for the City Manager to enter into an agreement with the City of Palo Alto to contract for animal control services. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 6.4 Appointments of Councilmembers to Subcommittees and as a Liaison or Members Representing the Council on Town Committees and Outside Agencies This item was moved to Council Initiated Items --Item 9.4 6.5 Consideration of Public Sewer Easement, Lands of Ramsay, 13040 Alta Lane North Mayor Johnson stepped down from consideration of this item as he lived within 300 feet of the project. Mayor Pro Tem Dauber requested the Director of Public Works to provide background to the Council on the request before them. Peterson explained that the initial approval of this project was conditioned by the Council for the applicant to hook-up to public sewers. The applicant has participated in ongoing negotiations with the adjacent property owner, for use of an existing private sewer easement. He noted it would be necessary for the existing line to be upsized to provide service for this project and possible future development. Peterson added that in conversations with Ramsay and the neighbor (Beatts) it appears that negotiations have stalled and the present agreement leaves the easement private which would require future developers to negotiate with Beatts for use of the existing fine. There are approximately 5 future sites that could be served by this connection to the public sewer. The City Attorney commented on public vs. private sewer easements noting that there is no physical difference on the impact of the land. The difference lies in the responsibility of the maintenance of the sewer he, Public easements are the responsibility of the Town. Bob Owen, 445 South San Antonio Road, Los Altos, addressed the Council. As the applicant's agent he voiced his concern in delaying the project and the impact this would have on construction time and occupancy of the residence. He added that Ramsey has negotiated in good faith and wants to continue with the agreement process with his neighbor. He is concerned with the costs of condemnation. The City Attorney explained it was her understanding that if an agreement was not reached to make the easement public, the Town would begin the condemnation process. Beatts would be paid a fee for the property in question and Ramsey would pay for the upgrading of the Be and the legal costs of the condemnation. Siegel commented that it was appropriate for the Town to enter into an agreement with Ramsey to be reimbursed proportionally for costs of upgrading the sewer line by future developers of the other lots that would access the sewer line. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 07 Hubbard noted that he was concerned that the parties had negotiated an agreement in good faith and Council action would be altering that agreement. He added that the Town still had the option of action in the future to ensure that the easement would be Public through eminent domain or condemnation. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Siegel and passed by the following roll call vote to direct staff to work with the applicants toward the conclusion of a public easement. AYES: Mayor Pro Tem Dauber, Councilmembers Siegel and Tryon NOES: Councilmember Hubbard ABSENT: Mayor Johnson ABSTAIN: None 7. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, SUB -COMMITTEES, AND COUNCB,MEMBERS ON OUTSIDE AGENCIES 7.1 Community Relations Committee 7.1.1 Report on Sbring in the Hills Councilmember Dauber commented that she would like the financial report to read.. " a budget of a $1000.00 seed money had been set for the event. Following Council discussion, the financial report of the event prepared by Louise Pavnett, Town Finance Officer, was excluded from the report. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel, seconded by Hubbard and passed unanimously by all members present to approve the Sbring in the Hills final report dated May 8, 1993, and request a financial explanation be added to the report by the Chairman in the future. (Councilmember Tryon was not present for this vote) Siegel raised the question of the status of the event for future planning. He noted that there is some confusion on direction for the Community Relations Committee. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To schedule a joint meeting of Council and the Community Relations Committee in October to discuss future activities of the Committee. 7.2 Quarry Subcommittee Siegel reported on recent correspondence with Vidovich. He added that the subcommittee will be contacting Vidovich's attorney to discuss outstanding issues. The City Attorney added that she would like to be included in the discussions with the Council Subcommittee and Vidovich's representative. 10 July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 7.3 Town Handbook Subcommittee 7.4 Design Guidelines Subcommittee Dot Schreiner, Planning Commissioner, reported on the status of the Guidelines. The Committee has completed revisions on approximately 3/4 of the draft. It should be ready for Council's review in September. Each Planning Commissioner has received a copy of the draft Design Guidelines for review and comment. Dauber added that the text is being written in house but that no decision has been resolved with Carrasco & Associates for illustrations. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Siegel and passed unanimously to appoint Councilmember Dauber as Chairman of the Design Guideline Committee. 7.5 Planning Issues Subcommittee 7.5.1 Report on Code Amendment/interpretation Regarding Basements Mayor Johnson read for Council's information a memo dated July 13, 1993, that he had prepared regarding the calculation of floor area of basements. It stated that for the purpose of calculating maximum floor area, all basement floor area shall be included unless the ceiling is less that 90 inches (76"). Siegel added that Council's intention for not including this space in the calculations was to encourage applicants to build into the hillside. Unfortunately, this has not worked and residences are being built out to their maximum. Siegel added that a conflict arises with the code requirement for "minimal grading" on a site when it has been the intention to encourage unobtrusive low profile homes which are built into the hillside. He would prefer to see all floor area counted or the measurement of ceiling heights of 6 feet or below be used as the exemption standard. Tryon commented that she felt incentives to build into the hillside are important to prevent the building of "stilt houses". Dauber raised the issue of considering measuring the overall height of the house from ground level to the top of the roof . If the structure is over 17 feet, then it would be counted twice. This would eliminate the calculations that use interior ceiling heights. Tryon suggested that this issue be reviewed by the Council Subcommittee on Planning Issues and be included in their September report to the Council. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 11 t� PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To direct Staff to return to the Council Subcommittee and then to Council with a proposal on floor area calculation using 6 1/2 feet as a height requirement. The proposal should eliminate the present backfill provision and address the minimal grading issue. 7.6 Natural Grade Subcommittee 7.6.1 Report on Clarification of Interpretation of Natural Grade Council had before them diagrams prepared by the Subcommittee illustrating the natural grade interpretation. Hubbard explained that in the event of a disaster, such as a fire, and in the absence of any contour records or maps, Staff is presently using the original building pad as the natural grade. The illustrations represented measurements from excavated sites (graded into the hillside) and sites where the house was built on fill. The Town Planner noted that Staff is willing to review a proposal from an applicant's engineer which extrapolates the natural grade, but does not have the expertise to reconstruct or extrapolate contour lines when the natural grade is unknown. Once the application is submitted, the Town's engineering consultant could review the natural grade extrapolation to see if it is reasonable. Luis Yanez, resident, addressed the Council. He referred to a map of his property and C.. questioned if it would be considered adequate for the interpretation of natural grade �W following a fire. Mayor Johnson responded that he had reviewed the map in question and felt that it could be used for calculations, noting that it had been signed by a licensed professional engineer. The Council concurred that Staff would review all submittals and ask for any additional information needed to make an accurate evaluation of the project. Following Council discussion, Staff was directed to develop a policy statement regarding the extrapolation of contour lines in the absence of a topographical record for use in determining natural grade and return it for review to the council at the next City Council Meeting. 8. STAFF REPORTS 8.1 City Manager City Manager updated the Council on a meeting that had been held with the representatives from Stevens Creek Quarry regarding the options for truck travel during the reclamation of the Neary Quarry. Alternatives for truck traffic were discussed and a letter outlining the scope was requested by Jones. He added that as of this date, he has not received the letter but does expect it to arrive shortly. He will copy the Council when he receives it. When hauling resumes, Council will be invited to view the procedures. July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 12 �w 8.2 City Attorney The City Attorney referred to a recent FPPC Bulletin which sited correspondence from Mayor Johnson and stated that .."a public official may participate in sewer rate assessments on all residential property located within the jurisdiction of the district." 8.3 City Clerk 8.3.1 Report on Council Correspondence Dauber questioned the status of the Bellucci Subdivision referencing recent correspondence from David Bellucci Jr. dated July 16, 1993. The Director of Public Works noted that Staff has been working closely with the family and it his understanding that the family wishes to bring the project to conclusion. The City Manager with the assistance of Staff will respond to the correspondence. 9. COUNCIL -INITIATED ITEMS 9.1 Heritage Trees (Siegel) Council had before them a request from the Environmental Design and Protection Committee to designate two trees located in Byrne Preserve with Heritage status. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Siegel and passed unanimously to authorize an arborist to prepare a report on the trees designated by the Environmental Design and Protection Committee as candidates for Heritage Tree status. PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To review the design of the plaque with the possible change of omitting "by action of the City Council' and including the scientific name (Latin) of the species of tree being designated as a Heritage Tree. Mayor Johnson shall continue to design the plaques and submit them to Council for review. 9.2 Town Handbook (Mayor Johnson) Mayor Johnson suggested that the Community Relations Subcommittee and the Council Subcommittee meet and work collectively on the Town Handbook. Following Council discussion it was decided to set a joint meeting between the Council Subcommittee and a representative from each Standing Committee to produce a revised draft version of the Town Handbook for Council consideration. The meeting is to be chained by Councilmember Tryon.

July 21, 1993 Regular City Council Meeting 14 Im 9.7 Property Tax Itemization (Tryon) Tryon requested the City Manager to investigate the requirement for counties to itemize the 1 percent property tax to clearly show the taxpayer the amount that each agency receives of the 1 percent property tax. 10.
