PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR Mr. Fred Pilster, President - Los Altos Hills Little League, formally invited the Council to the opening day ceremonies and parade scheduled for March 31st from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with the parade on Main Street in Los Altos. Mr. David Bellucci, 26220 Moody Road, asked Council if they would consider putting consideration of his final map on tonight's agenda as an urgency item. He had a major loan commitment which was due to expire on February 15th. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson and passed unanimously by all members present to add consideration of the final map for Lands of Bellucci on tonight's agenda under Unfinished Business as an urgency item. Mrs. Judy Carico, Planning Commissioner, stated that the disclosure policy was not being adhered to by either the Planning Commission or the City Council. She believed the policy should either be adhered to, discussed or done away with. It was agreed to agendize discussion of the disclosure policy for the next joint meeting. Mr. Dan Alexander, Historical Society, referred to the recent article he had read on the Griffin House at Foothill College and the fact that a decision was supposedly going to be made regarding its fate by 2/9/90. Mr Alexander noted that he was a member of the Heritage Sub-committee of the Council and he suggested an urgency meeting of this subcommittee be called to discuss the Griffin House. Casey stated that the college was working very hard to find funding to support the Griffin House and van Tamelen asked Casey to request the college to allow more time before making a decision on the Griffin House. It was agreed the Heritage Subcommittee would hold an urgency meeting. Mrs. Shari Emling, 11853 Murietta, stated that there was a written disclosure policy and she would like to hear it read before each public hearing. February 7, 1990 4 lir 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS 6.1 Pathway Dedication, Lands of Raman, 12378 Priscilla Lane van Tamelen stated that she had been to the site but had not spoken with the applicants. Casey stated that she had been to the site and had spoken to the applicants and their neighbors at the Planning Commission Meeting. Johnson and Tryon stated they did not know the applicants nor had they visited the site. Mrs. Judy Carico, Planning Commissioner, stated that things should be perceived to be on the up and up. Casey responded that that she strongly felt it was appropriate for Councilmembers to meet with applicants. Mr. Raman, applicant, referred to his letter dated 12/12/89 (on file at Town Hall) which had been presented to the Planning Commission. He referenced the same points made in that letter for the Council's appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to remove the requirement for a five-foot pathway dedication from a site development permit. The issues raised in the letter were: infringement of property owner rights; not required of others in neighborhood; wooded and steep slope; not a connecting path; and requirement not legally enforceable. Mr. Raman explained these points and also distributed pictures of the property. He further commented that other pathway accesses were available. Mr. John Sines, applicant's attorney, referred to his letter dated 2/5/90 which addressed the liability issue and the case of Nollan vs. the California Coastal Commission in which the U.S. Supreme Court held as unconstitutional the Commmission's demand that the Nollans dedicate a public easement to the beach in return for a permit to demolish their present home and build a bigger one. Mrs. Dot Schreiner, Chairman - Pathways, Recreation and Parks Committee, commented that the property under discussion was a 1958 subdivision and they were now attempting to put the pathway system in this subdivision to eventually connect with Lands of McCullough. If the pathway system was not put in place, people would not be able to get around safely. The path would have to be cleared and it was not any steeper than other paths in the Town. Mrs. Raman, applicant, asked if the path was good for the neighbors. On the petition February 7, 1990 5 the neighbors had indicated they did not want the path nor did they want the trees cut `' down. The property was pretty as it was. In addition, Mrs. Raman asked if they reduced their plans for the house would they be required to give a path and the response was no. Mrs. Carmella Saviano, 12620 Corte Madera Lane, noted that she had served on the Pathways Committee for many years in past history and privacy was always an important issue. In this case the pathway seemed to near the bedrooms of the house. Mrs. Fran Stevenson, 26989 Beaver Lane, noted that children used the pathways and even if those presently living in the neighborhood said they would not use the path, in the future the residents might want to use it. Tryon stated her concerns about safety, privacy, accessibility and circulation. She also noted that it was not the Planning Commission's responsibility to decide on liability issues. Tryon supported the Planning Commission's decision to remove the pathway requirement. van Tamelen stated that the pathway system was part of the development of the lots. There were no other parks in the Town and the pathway system was important. She believed the Town needed this connection. Johnson and Casey supported the Planning Commission's decision to remove the pathway 1hr requirement. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and passed by the following roll call vote to deny the appeal and to uphold the Planning Commission's decision to remove the requirement for a five-foot pathway dedication from a site development permit. AYES: Mayor Casey and Councilmembers Johnson and Tryon NOES: Councilmember van Tamelen ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Siegel 6.2 Site Development Permit, Lands of Ng, 12700 Leander Drive van Tamelen and Tryon stated that they had been to the site but had had no contact with the applicants. Johnson stated that he had met the applicants socially and had recently run into Mr. Ng at Town Hall; he had not been to the property. Casey reported that she had been at the Planning Commission when the Ng's application was discussed and had spoken with them at that time. After the Council appealed the Planning Commission's decision, Mr. Ng called her. He was upset at the appeal and 1r that he had to wait until 2/7/90 for the hearing. Casey stated she explained to him that February 7, 1990 6 the matter had been appealed by the Council because it was a ridgeline house and if he wanted to, he could listen to the tapes of the meetings. Mr. Anthony Lagorio, applicant's attorney, referred to the discussion held by the Planning Commission on the Ng's request for a site development permit for a new house. The Planning Director's staff report to the Council included the statement that the primary consideration in granting this site development permit was the siting, design and mitigation of the proposed two-story residence on a hilltop. Mr. Walter Chapman, applicant's designer, stated that he had met three times with staff and at no time had the ridgeline issue be raised. He was aware of the Town's ordinances but referred to a different interpretation of the ordinance. He did not believe this home interfered with the skyline. It was a flat sight; not an exposed skyline. Mr. Chapman also noted that the lot was surrounded by trees; the home followed the slope of the hillside and none of the neighbors had spoken against the project at the Planning Commission. van Tamelen expressed her concerns about compliance with the Town ordinance stating that two-story houses will not be built on ridgelines. She further commented that she had been to this site and believed there was a negative visual impact on many surrounding properties. Johnson stated that he was confident that the mitigation measures on the site development permit were adequate. He believed the letter and the spirit of the law would be in place if the conditions were met. Mr. Ng, applicant, stated that he was an honorable man and if he got the permit, he would certainly see to it that the conditions were clearly met. He too agreed that screening was very important. Tryon stated that a two-story house on the hilltop was not what the residents wanted to see. She did not believe the project was low profile and thought the Planning Commission vote ignored the Town's Ordinances. Tryon commented that the Council should either follow the ordinances or change them. She also noted that the applicants were not advised adequately enough ahead of time of the ordinances. Although she did not know where Mayor Pro Tern Siegel was, Tryon believed the issue should be addressed at this meeting. MOTION SECONDED AND FAILED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and failed by the following roll call vote to deny the appeal and to uphold the Planning illw Commission's decision to grant a site development permit. February 7, 1990 7 klew AYES: Mayor Casey and Councilmember Johnson NOES: Councilmembers Tryon and van Tamelen ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tern Siegel Mr. Anthony Lagorio, applicant's attorney, asked if the Planning Commission's decision was final since this vote failed. The City Attorney responded that this motion could be reconsidered at this meeting or at the next. MOTION SECONDED AND WITHDRAWN: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and withdrawn to issue the Ngs a building permit. Tryon and van Tamelen stated that they would not pursue any further appeals by the Council on this subject. 6.3 Access and Intersection Design, Lands of Clausen, Voorhees Drive Johnson stepped down from consideration of this item due a possible conflict of interest. 111Y► van Tamelen stated that she had spoken with several people in the neighborhood who believed the proposed y-section was dangerous. She also noted she had visited the site. Casey stated she had visited the site but had not spoken specifically with anyone about this issue. Tryon stated that she had received several phone calls regarding the safety issue. Mr. Bruce Barnes, Wilsey & Ham, presented slides and a description of the intersection at Voorhees and El Monte and explained the rationale behind the recommendation that there be one joint entry onto El Monte from Voorhees and St. Nicholas School. He stated that it was not a visually apparant driveway and the average speed on El Monte was 35 - 45 mph. Other complexities of the intersection were people coming off the off ramp onto El Monte and zipping into the inside lane. There was also the potential of trees blocking people trying to make turns and people misunderstanding the lights at the intersection. Mr. Barnes further noted that there was the danger of people thinking that Voorhees was one way or of going on Voorhees when they actually meant to go on St. Nicholas. John Brown, Los Altos, stated that one could definitely see cars making turns from St. Nicholas onto El Monte. Mrs. Saviano, 12620 Corte Madera Lane, asked what the legal iY width of Voorhees Drive was and also commented that her family had been in grading February 7, 1990 8 lbw for 35 years and this driveway had a 35% grade. She wondered why St. Nicholas was being brought into this when they seemed to be pleased with the way it was. Ms. Mary O'Shea, Los Altos, asked why the Sheriff's Department sat on St. Nicholas Drive if they couldn't see because of the trees. Ms. Ro Taylor, Los Altos, commented that neither Voorhees nor St. Nicholas were thoroughfares; people knew where they were going. She also referred to a meeting last year at which time the problem seemed to be off ramp traffic onto El Monte. At that time signs were going to be placed which said 'prepare to stop'. Ms. Mary Jo Dorey, Los Altos, asked how many accidents there had been at the intersection and was told 4-5 a year. Ms. Trish McKee, representing the Student Council of St. Nicholas School, supported keeping St. Nicholas and Voorhees separate driveways. Ms. Elizabeth Scharentz, 12195 Winton Way, stated her concerns for the safety of her schoolmates. Ms. Nora Repetto, Los Altos, commented that the grade had not been referenced and she believed it was a blind area. Mr. Jim Steinmetz, Voorhees Drive, commented on the grading issue and asked how people were going to get to the median on El Monte if the crosswalk was removed. Mr. Bill Owen Voorhees, stated that the believed the important issues were safety, visibility and grading. In his opinion the proposed Alternative A resulted in an uncontrolled situation for children and cars with no lights. Mr. Ted Hoff, 13280 Barley Hill Road, stated that he believed the safety of the children at St. Nicholas was the most important issue and he also noted that 80% of the traffic made the trip every day with St. Nicholas bearing most of the traffic. Ms. Lois Bauer, Principal - St. Nicholas School, commented on the proposed Alternative A and stated that she believed it was the most unsafe plan imagined. In the three years she had been at St. Nicholas she had not heard of one accident and she also believed the signals were clear. Sister Katherine, St. Nicholas School, commented that she found it hard to believe the Council had the safety of the children in mind. There wasn't even a bicycle nor a pedestrian pathway on the plans. Sister Katherine further commented that while she did not believe the present intersection was perfectly safe, she did not believe that Alternative A made it more safe. Mr. Bob Summers, representing the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Jose, noted that the school was on a fight budget and was not in a financial position to get involved in the redesign of the driveway. Neither he nor their safety person who reports on such projects saw the benefit in Alternative A unless it were to just make it a more prestigious driveway. Mr. Bruce Barstow, Los Altos, stated that if the markings of the crosswalk were removed, the crosswalk would still remain. In addition, if the road was Ihr February 7, 1990 9 dedicated, it would fall under the California Vehicle Code and it would be dangerous. Mr. Rob Kuler, Los Altos, asked if there were other alternatives. Mr. Brian Hening, Mountain View, commented on what he saw as problems with Alternative A such as the elimination of the separate driveways. Mr. Paul Nowack, applicant's engineer, stated the his client had no objection to any alternative chosen by the Council but he did believe that there should be an equal distribution of cost between the parties involved. Casey stated that she was not in favor of Alternative A. Tryon commented that the safety of the children was important and the Council was not always necessarily in agreement with proposals made by the Town's consultants. She urged that aggressive action with Caltrans be pursued regarding the off ramp off I5280 onto El Monte. The Director of Public Works, in response to an inquiry from Council, stated that in his opinion this intersection was an accident waiting to happen. It was just fortunate that almost everyone using it knew where they were going. In 1985 when the conditional har use permit for St. Nicholas School was discussed, it was noted that the access for Lands of Clausen might be addressed in the future. The Director of Public Works also commented that the Alternative B referred in the staff report was no longer a viable option. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Tryon and passed by the following roll call vote to eliminate the option of one joint entry onto El Monte Road from Voorhees Drive and St. Nicholas School and to direct staff to work with Caltrans on the safety issue of the off ramp at El Monte and IS280 and the intersection of Voorhees, St. Nicholas and El Monte. AYES: Mayor Casey and Councilmembers Tryon and van Tamelen NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tern Siegel ABSTAIN: Councilmember Johnson 6.4 Proposed Annexation, Lands of Finn, Prospect -- Reso # lior Councilmembers stated that they had no disclosures to make regarding the Lands of February 7, 1990 10 1h. The Director of Public Works stated that the Local Agency Formation Commission had reviewed the proposed annexation in December and had recommended the annexation of the Finn property, several parcels within an island created by the annexation of the Finn property, the immediately adjacent Lands of Silver property and several parcels within an island created by the annexation of the Silver property. LAFCO recommended the annexation of the full 35+/- acres in accordance with the Cortese.Knox annexation policy guidelines. These guidelines note that annexation boundaries should be such that they eliminate the creation of islands and create logical jurisdictional boundaries to assist in eliminating any jurisdictional confusion in the future. One written protest had been made to the annexation by Mr. and Mrs. Gary Silver of 24840 Prospect Avenue. Rosemary Meyerott, Town Historian, stated that the did not object to the annexation but wanted to take this opportunity to express her disagreement with name of Finn Way which had been selected for the subdivision. She strongly believed that this should be an historical name. kir MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson and passed unanimously by all members present to adopt Resolution #12-90 ordering the reorganization of certain contiguous inhabited territory designated as the Lands of Finn annexation subject to liability for general indebtedness of the Town, and determining that one written protest was filed and not withdrawn in connection with the proposed annexation. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson and passed unanimously by all members present to direct the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation on the zoning of the annexation. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 7.1 Approval of Final Map, Lands of Bellucci, Moody Road -- Resolution # Urgency Item Mrs. Shari Emling, 11853 Murietta Lane, commented that she was in favor of seeing the 4111, development of this subdivision being completed; however, she noted that the carriage February 7, 1990 11 bar house which she believed was actually a duplex was still on the property and she wanted to know where it was finally going to be placed. Mrs. Emling noted that after the approval of the final map, it would be difficult to move it. Mr. David Bellucci, applicant, stated that the plans were on file with the Town as to where the carriage house would be moved. Mr. Edward Emling, 11853 Murietta Lane, commented that Mr. Bellucci already had a secondary unit on his lot and now planned to move the carriage house to that lot too. Staff noted that the carriage house would be moved to an approved lot and that permits would be required by the Town. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by Casey and passed by the following roll call vote to adopt Resolution #13-90 approving final subdivision map and approving and authorizing execution of subdivision agreement for Lands of Bellucci, with the notation that the final map would not be recorded until all bonds were paid. AYES: Mayor Casey and Councilmembers Johnson and van Tamelen NOES: None ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Siegel ABSTAIN: Councilmember Tryon Tryon stated that she needed more information including a staff report before she felt she could vote on this matter. 7.2 Report on Survey of Libraries Receiving Full Council Agenda Packets MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by van Tamelen and passed unanimously by all members present to direct staff to forward one complete agenda packet (excluding oversized maps and blueprints submitted by applicants) for public access to the Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Library.
