INTERVIEWS FOR PLANNING COMMISSION The City Council individually interviewed the four candidates for two positions on the Planning Commission. James Sinunu, 26635 Taaffe Road, commented that he had lived in the Town for two years and in Los Altos for thirteen. He was familiar with the area and wanted to get involved in the community. Mr. Sinunu commented on the importance of the Town's paths and the importance of adhering to the Town's height restrictions. He noted that subdivisions should not look like tract housing and the rural aspects of the Town should be encouraged. Mr. Sinunu believed the neighbors should be listened to and he stated that he was familiar with land use issues. Emily Cheng, 24595 Voorhees Drive, noted that she had been a resident of the Town for a long time and knew the area well. She at one time also worked for the County as a computer programmer. Mrs. Cheng believed neighbors' input should be heard and considered and that fairness was important. She also commented on the importance of ridgelines, not building to maximum development and the importance of neighborhoods. Edwina Comiso, 27933 Briones Way, stated that she believed that the Town's rights were before the developers' rights. There were rules to follow and each case needed to be considered on its own. Mrs. Comiso believed more site analysis was needed. She also noted that the fence issue was one that needed to be resolved. Too many variances were being requested regarding fences and the Town needed to find out why this was the case. La Earnest, 12769 Dianne Drive, strongly supported following the Town's Code, General Plan and one's own judgement. The ordinances should not be bent. If one did not like the rules they should try to get them changed. Mr. Earnest believed the ordinances related to ridgelines were too loosely interpreted and that the landscape ordinance should be enforced. 3.
