D. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR:
Mr. Bob Stutz, Horsemens ' Association, asked for Council approval for
the Horsemens ' Association to hold a meeting in the Council Chambers
on Tuesday, January 10th.
Tryon inquired whether giving such approval would be precedent setting
and the City Attorney responded that it would not.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by van Tamelen
and passed unanimously to allow the Horsemens ' Association to hold a
meeting in the Council Chambers on January 10th.
111119 Mrs. Betsy Bertram, 11854 Page Mill Road, read the following letter:
' I am of the opinion that a public meeting is a discussion of issues .
It is not a time to degrade, insult and demean organizatitons and/or
persons of opposing viewpoints . At the December 20th special meeting
regarding the Vidovich proposal , one person chose to leave the issue
at hand and find fault with people who had an opinion different from
his . It is my opinion that the Council should have put a halt to the
remarks which were off the issue , but no Councilmember saw fit to do
so. According to "Robert' s Rules of Order ' , I contend that I was out
of line in interrupting the speaker, but, in view of the response from
the public present (their resounding NO when the speaker asked if he
may continue) I feel my interruption was justified. This is still my
opinion; I feel the interruption should have come from the Mayor or a
Councilmember. I also feel that the next time a speaker leaves the
issues, as this one speaker did, that the Mayor or any Councilmember
should politely but firmly put a halt to the speaker ' s comments . '
E. RECOMMENDATIONS OF SUBCOMMITTEE ON ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY:
Council had before them a report from the Acting City Manager dated
11/22/88 which included the recommendations of the subcommittee on
road right-of-way. (A copy of this report is on file in the City
Clerk ' s office . )
4- 1/4/89
E. RECOMMENDATIONS OF SUBCOMMITTEE ON ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY: (continued) :
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel , seconded by Casey and
passed unanimously to: 1) Continue this item to the 2/15/89 Council
Meeting; 2) Refer report to Roads and Drainage Committtee and Planning
Commission for their review and comment; 3) Request staff to draft an
ordinance to implement paragraph 7 relative to front setback and refer
to the Planning Commission for public hearing; 4) Request staff to
prepare for 2/15/89 meeting a list or maps of arterial and collector
streets and if time permits secure Roads and Drainage Committee and
Planning Commission recommendations; and 5) Request staff to prepare
for 2/115/89 meeting codification of definition section 6 and 6 .a) .
van Tamelen also suggested that a map defining the Town and showing
the arterial and collector streets be prepared and sent to the
Planning Commission.
F. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. LANDS OF VARSANYI , FILE TM #4-88 , 12631 Mira Loma Way, request for
approval of tentative map with conditional exception and negative
declaration for a two-lot subdivision - Resolution approving
tentative map (continued from 10/19/88 Council Meeting)
Council had before them the Planning Director ' s staff report dated
10/11/88 which included the Planning Commission' s remmrendation that
`r the request for a tentative map for Lands of Varsanyi be denied. The
Commission determined that, if the required 60 ' right of way for Mira
Loma Way were to be dedicated, the proposed lots would not meet the
standards of the Town for lot size and slope. The Acting City Manager
noted that the applicant had since submitted a new plan showing 40 '
right of way which would make the lots subdividable.
Mr. Melvin Hills , applicant' s representative , stated that they were
trying to work with the Town on this application and also commented
that the only reason the Planning Commission had denied the
application was because of the right of way issue. Mr. Hill further
noted that Mr . Varsanyi ' s house (approximately 7 , 000 square feet) had
been approved by the Site Development Committee and approval of the
other lot would not hold up construction of his house. Mr. Hill stated
that a 4 ,000 square foot, single story design for the other lot would
be acceptable.
Mr. Clyde Noel , Planning Commissioner , noted that although the right
of way issue was the main concern, the Commission also heard from
neighbors who were against the project because of visual impact and
drainage concerns .
Dee Cunningham, 24601 Summerhill Court, asked for clarification of
whether the map before Council was the same the Planning Commission
had seen, of the right of way issue and of the setback issue.

5- 1/4/89
r
F. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) :
Carol Gottlieb, 24290 Summerhill , stated that since the Town' s
ordinances were in place, this subdivision should require a
conditional exception and there should be a reduction in lot
development and design of house.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by Siegel
and passed unanimously to continue the public hearing on Lands of
Varsanyi , to send the present map to the Planning Commission for
review of the drainage issue and to request the Commission to make a
recommendation on the proposed road right of way policy.
Mr . Melvin Hill , applicant ' s representative, stated that Mr. Varsanyi
agreed with the continuance.
2. LANDS OF BENNETT, SELLS AND VALDEZ , FILE TM #2-88 , 12100 Hilltop
Drive , request for approval of tentative map and negative declara-
tion for three-lot subdivision - Resolution approving tentative map

3. Approval of Community Survey
Nancy Alexander, consultant, presented a brief summary to the Council
of the steps taken in the preparation of the survey before them. She
noted that the survey was planned for January 17-19 and 23-25 , 1989 .
The method of a telephone survey was selected as a better way to reach
everyone than door-to-door or mail . Ms. Alexander also referred to a
draft letter to all residents Council had before them. This letter
would advise everyone that a survey would be taking place this month
and they may be selected to participate by a random selection of phone
numbers . The City Attorney stated that there would be no problem with
this mailing and Proposition 73 .
PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To make the following changes to the community
survey: Question #7 , add (10) more bicycle lanes , add (11) more
lbw pedestrian paths, and change (11) to (12) ; page 8 , first paragraph,
delete ' like many cities ' ; Question #26 , delete section on ' if yes. .
. . . ' and add ' Do you think the paved portion of the roads is
adequate, needs widening, needs improving? ' and in questions #27 and
28 delete reference to ' fear of assault' and add 'personal safety' .
Rosemary Meyerott, 27100 Elena, stated that when the General Plan
Steering Committee had reviewed the proposed survey, they had/A/oted to *not
delete question #32 (Do you think the Town should allow a senior
citizen condominium development with a conditional use permit such as
is now used for country clubs , convents , and schools? Development
approval using a conditional use permit would not jeopardize the one-
acre minimum lot zoning in the Town. ) but members had been informally polled
after the meeting regarding the deletion of #32. (AMENDED BY COUNCIL 1/18/89)
Casey noted that the survey before Council was the result of review
and comment by several individuals and it was not possible to include
everyone ' s recommendations . She commented that no decisions were being
made by asking this question and it would not hurt to ask the
residents of the Town how they felt about the issue. Casey stated that
she had spoken with/*Portola Valley' s City Attorney, Jim Morton and San
Mateo Superior Court Judge Thomas Jenkins and they supported the
statement in the question that 'Development approval using a
conditional use permit would not jeopardize the one-acre minimum lot
zoning in the Town. ' *Frank Gillio, WENDED ED BY COUNCIL 1/18/89)

Mes4--44a4-rte-aa+,eeez-249'0 -Rct,}e-Adie-etCir spoke to the Council stating
their opposition to including question #32 in the survey. They
believed the question was not clear as stated in that such housing
would require a change in the Town' s zoning. Mrs. Elaine Dau}- r, 27930 Roble
Alto, believed the question should be included but the wording should be changed.
Doni Hubbard, 25228 LaLoma, stated that she believed the question was
appropriate but that the wording should be changed. She also suggested
that the survey be mailed to all residents as it would give them the
opportunity to carefully think about their answers before responding.
Edwina Comiso, 27933 Briones Way and Tom Lynch, 25701 Lomita Linda
stated that this issue should be addressed and supported including
question #32 in the survey. They commented that when the issue had
been brought to the voters it had been discussed in connection with
the controversial Bellucci property and it should be asked now as a
separate question.
MOTION SECONDED AND FAILED: Moved by Casey, seconded by van Tamelen
and failed by the following roll call vote to change the wording of
question #32 to read as follows : 'Would you favor the amendment of the
Town' s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to allow senior citizen

Slaw
Ms. Lyn Simpson, Sun Country Cable, presented a brief status report to
the Council . She noted that the system they were installing had been
improved and the applications had been essentially completed. They
were working very well with Pacific Bell and Pacific Gas and Electric
and their marketing was proceeding. The first customers were likely to
be served by June and in March a mail survey would go out asking
residents for their input on programming The neighborhoods would be
notified as construction was scheduled and she hoped to spend some
time with homeowners groups . Ms . Simpson also noted that they planned
to conduct a direct sales program in the Town.

passed unanimously to agendize status reports from Sun Country Cable
for the April 5 and June 7 , 1989 Council Meetings .
5 . San Antonio Hills - Los Altos Hills Urban Service Area
PASSED BY CONSENSUS : To defer consideration of this item to a later
meeting.
6 . Quarry Hills Project - Request from John Vidovich for Council to
consider the following issues :
John Vidovich, applicant, stated that a previous Council had indicated
that all of these issues could be handled simultaneously but at this
time he would defer to how the present Council wished to proceed.
a) Resolution of application to LAFCO for a change in 1) Urban
Service Area Boundary and 2) Annexation to Town of Los Altos
Hills
The Acting City Manager reported that at this time if the applicant
wished to file for annexation he should do so directly with LAFCO
rather than the process whereby the Town would file for the
annexation. The applicant had deposited $1, 000 with the Town in the
event that the Town and not the applicant filed for the annexation and
if the applicant now filed directly for the annexation he should
receive a refund of this $1 ,000 deposit.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson and
passed unanimously to concur with the staff' s recommendation that if
Mr. Vidovich wishes to apply for annexation he should do so directly
with LAFCO and to refund the deposit of $1,000 to Mr . Vidovich.
Siegel commented that by taking this vote Council was in no way
approving or not approving the annexation. This was simply a vote on
the process itself . He himself would take a very serious look at the
creation of ' islands ' if the land were annexed to the Town.
9- 1/4/89
G. OLD BUSINESS: (continued) :
b) Vesting Tentative Map
The City Attorney stated that a project approved with a vesting
tentative map is subject to the ordinances in place at the time of
approval and continues to be subject to those regulations even if the
ordinances should change by the time the project is actually being
done. State Law allows vesting tentative maps and the Town' s ordinance
on vesting tentative maps clearly states that certain permits must be
obtained prior to obtaining a vesting tentative map.
Mr. Larry Close, Berliner Cohen and Biagini, stated that in their
opinion the conditions that apply to a tentative map are the same as
those that apply to a vesting tentative map. He further stated that
the project before the Council should be heard on its merits and the
vesting tentative map should not be delayed until all the site
development permits were obtained.
John Vidovich, applicant, commented that they had withdrawn their
original request for a vesting tentative map because they did not
believe it was a valid stipulation to require permits for all of the
proposed lots . They did not agree with the City Attorney' s opinion.
Luis Yanez , 26879 Moody Road, addressed the Council concerning the
vesting tentative map issue. He noted that the Town had adopted an
ordinance which would require the applicant to obtain certain permits .
Mr. Vidovich had indeed applied for a vesting tentative map but had
withdrawn the application when he realized what the requirements would
be. Mr. Yanez further stated that in his opinion it would be an
impeachable offense against the intent and spirit of the Town' s
ordinance if a vesting tentative map or development agreement were
granted.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Tryon and
passed unanimously to continue the issue of vesting tentative map to
the Adjourned Regular Meeting scheduled for Monday, January 9th.
c) Consideration and action for procedures for application
for development agreements (Development Agreement
Ordinance)
d) Consideration and action for an application for a
development agreement for Quarry Hills (Development
Agreement)
The City Attorney explained that there was a very definite process for
development agreements as outlined by State Law. The first step would
be the establishment of procedures for such an application.
-10- 1/4/89
G. OLD BUSINESS: (continued) :
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Johnson and
passed unanimously to continue the issue of development agreements to

laF J. STAFF REPORTS (continued) :
The Acting City Manager referred to his 12/30/88 staff report which
included the recommendation that the City Council concur with the
negotiated settlement reached between the City Managers of the four
no-low property tax cities (Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Saratoga and the
Town) and the County Executive of Santa Clara County and transmit
notice of this concurrence to the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors .
The issue under discussion is what amount, if any, of property tax
monies would be transferred by the County to the cities in accordance
with the legislation, such that the County might participate in the
Trial Court Funding Program. The managers and the County Executive
had agreed to support a plan in which 55% of the monies which could be
transferred to the cities under the legislation would be transferred
by the county.

and passed unanimously to concur with the negotiated settlement as
outlined by the Acting City Manager in his 12/30/88 report and
transmit notice of this concurrence to the Board of Supervisors. This
concurrence is conditional upon the acceptance by the other three no-
low property tax cities of the settlement.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by Casey and
passed unanimously to add the following item to the agenda as an
urgency item: David Bellucci , Moody Road -- house moving

The Acting City Manager reported that Mr . Bellucci had sold a property
which had as a condition of sale the moving of the house currently on
the land. Mr . Bellucci had received a permit from the Town but this
permit also involved his obtaining subsequent permits which he did not
do. He had been noticed by the Town but at this time staff was
requesting a temporary permit to allow the moving of the house.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Casey, seconded by Johnson and
passed unanimously to accept the staff' s recommendation and to grant
Mr. Bellucci a temporary permit to allow him to move the house with
the notation that he must subsequently apply for the appropriate
permits .
