C . LANDS OF QUARRY HILLS: TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FOR A PROPOSED
QUARRY HILLS SUBDIVISION - CONSIDERATION OF REOUEST FOR VESTING
TENTATIVE MAP (RESOLUTION) AND ANY MATTERS RELATED THERETO
The Director of Public Works referred to his staff report dated 6/8/89
which included the recommendation that the Council direct the
applicant and staff to begin developing a proposal for a subdivision,
General Plan amendment and pre-zoning of the immediate quarry lands
and that in accordance with the subdivision map act the City Council
deny without prejudice the current proposed subdivision tentative map.
C. LANDS OF QUARRY HILLS: (continued) :
41,
The report also noted that the proposed subdivision tentative map was
in the final days of a ninety day extension on the one year tentative
map timeline. The Director of Public Works further noted the option of
continuance as the applicant has submitted a letter dated 6/13/89
requesting an extension of 90 days on the application. As a possible
timeframe for Town review of the project, Mr. Ekern noted the
following dates: 6/26/89 staff review (geologists reports) ; 7/12/89
Planning Commission (if geologists concur on their findings) ; and
8/2/89 City Council .
The City Attorney stated that the Council had two options: 1) deny the
application or 2) concur with the applicant ' s request for a ninety day
continuance.
Siegel brought up two areas of concern: 1) He assumed the Town did not
want to be a part of the litigation between Los Altos and the County
regarding the environmental impact report. He would prefer to know the
outcome of the hearing on this issue (mid-August) before seeing the
map again on the project as it could take months if the court did
require an EIR. 2) The applicant had a hearing scheduled before the
State concerning his water rights. Siegel believed it was very
important to this project to know where the water was going to come
from. In conclusion, Siegel stated that he thought there should be
consensus between the geologists as their report affected the design
of the project.
John Vidovich, applicant, noted that he had submitted a letter
requesting continuance. He further noted that the Council could delay
their decisions until after the hearing on the lawsuit.
Council discussed the applicant ' s request for continuance. It was
noted by Tryon that the letter in part stated: . . . 'This request is
applicable only to lots which are outside Measure B, namely the 19
lots which are contained in the lower quarry. The balance of the
application is hereby requested to be withdrawn. ' Tryon stated that
she could not support the request as stated as it sepaLated--thn was imprecise'
oat. Johnson commented that the decision before Council was to
deny or continue the project and he believed the details could be
worked out at a later time. Siegel also commented on the General Plan
and zoning text amendments and was advised by the City Attorney that
public hearings could be scheduled on these issues . *(ATMIDED BY COUNCIL 6/21/89',
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Johnson, seconded by Casey and
passed unanimously by all members present to state Council' s
concurrence with the request from Mr. Vidovich for a ninety day
extension from June 13 , 1989 for consideration of the tentative map
for Lands of Quarry Hills (the entire application) .
