OIEW C. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR:
D. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
Planning Commissioner Emling reported that the following items were
discussed at the 3/23/88 Planning Commission Meeting in addition to
those the Council had already concurred with on the above Consent
Calendar: 1) Lands of Eyvazov, 11635 Dawson, new plans for new
residence submitted at Commission meeting and denied; and 2) Planning
Commission Meeting scheduled for 3 : 00 p.m. on Friday, April 8th to
discuss San Antonio Hills (west) annexation.
Tryon inquired about the fees for Lands of Eyvazov and asked that the
minutes of the Council meeting at which this had been discussed be
reviewed for clarification.
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1 . LANDS OF PENN, 12252 Menalto Drive, appeal of administra-
tive decision concerning the fee structure and request for
a reduction in the billing from $861. 65 to $350 . 00.
Council had before them the staff report dated 4/6/88 which had been
prepared by the City Manager. The report included an outline of the
correspondence between Mr. and Mrs. Penn and the Town and also
CIO included the recommendation that the Penns pay the geotechnical costs
the Town had absorbed related to the review of their room addition and
garage construction. As stated in the report, the Town ' s geotechnical
policy was to refer to the Town Geologist, William Cotton, all permit
requests for major additions and all major non-habitable structures
proposed to be constructed on average slopes of 15% or greater.
Mr. Penn, applicant, referred to the ongoing correspondence he had had
with the Town on this matter and noted that Council had copies of said
correspondence in their packets . He specifically referred to the $411
charge for a preliminary review of his project which, in his opinion,
was premature and sent to Mr. Cotton ' s office for a report before it
should have been. Mr. Penn noted that the City of Los Altos included
these charges in their plan fees and the County of Santa Clara had a
fixed charge of $350 . He also outlined the cost of preparing the
reports and letters he had received from Mr. Cotton' s office and
seriously questioned the amounts charged for these documents.
William Cotton, Town Geologist, explained that although it was
infrequent when their office found that a soils test was not necessary
when reviewing a project, their review at that stage often provided an
applicant with information which could save them time and money in the
long run. The report focused attention on specific problems. Mr.
Cotton further noted that he did not think it was proper to compare
Los Altos and the County to the Town. The areas were very different
and the County ' s review of such projects did not include field review.
41111, Mr. Cotton did not see that there was any step in the process which
could be eliminated.
4- 4/6/88
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) :
Tom Lynch, Lomita Linda, inquired whether it would be more expedient
if an applicant contacted Mr. Cotton' s office directly. In other
words, the Town hired the geologist and the applicant paid for the
services.
Luis Yanez , Planning Commissioner, stated that in his opinion there
was a duplication of services. He had surveyed several cities and
suggested that the process be streamlined in Los Altos Hills.
individual lnneowners and the Town.*
Tryon noted that the policies were in place to protect the/ taxpayers
€eerr-7cvcl-epmex . Perhaps hold harmless agreements could be required
of the applicants to protect the Town from future legal difficulties.
van Tamelen stated that it was important for the Town to protect
itself and the residents. The terrain in the Town was very difficult.
Dronkert commented on process and price. She suggested that the future
Council review the soils process and noted that all contract services
were going to be put on a review schedule. She questioned whether it
was fair to not charge the Penns for services which other residents
had been charged for and had paid. *(AMENDED BY COUNCIL - 4/20/88)
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dronkert, seconded by Tryon and
passed unanimously to agendize current procedures for geological and
geotechnical reports for a future Council meeting.
41, MOTION SECONDED AND FAILED: Moved by Plummer, seconded by van Tamelen
and failed by the following roll call vote to reduce the geotechnical
charges for Lands of Penn by $200 .
AYES: Councilmember Plummer
NOES: Mayor Tryon and Councilmembers Dronkert, Siegel and van Tamelen
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dronkert, seconded by Plummer
and passed unanimously to deny the appeal by Mr. Penn of the
administrative decision regarding the fee structure and his request
for a reduction in his billing from $861. 65 to $350.00
Siegel commented that he did not see how Mr. Penn' s appeal could be
granted as the same procedure applied to all applicants; however, he
did note that Mr. Penn had brought up several good points for the Town
to review. Dronkert also commented that further study was necessary.
She stressed the importance of cost effectiveness and liability. Tryon
reiterated her earlier statements regarding protecting the Town and
the taxpayers .
2 . LANDS OF CHARVEZ INTERNATIONAL, Lot #1 - O' Keefe, appeal
of Planning Commission ' s action to uphold the Site
Development Committee' s decision regarding circular
( driveway condition
5- 4/6/88
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) :
Council had before them the Director of Public Works staff report
dated 3/31/88 which included the recommendation that Council uphold
the decision of the Site Development Committee and Planning Commission
to require the applicant to redesign the driveway so that there were
not two connections to O' Keefe.
Paul Smith, applicant ' s attorney, referred to the following six points
in presenting his client ' s case: 1) page three of the approved
tentative map; 2) page five of the improvement plans ; 3) subdivision
agreement; 4) approved final map; 5) Code section regarding rough
grading of driveways; and 6) Site Development Ordinance - could find
nothing in ordinance to prevent circular driveways. Mr. Smith further
commented on the benefits of circular driveways and stated that they
were considering an approved tentative map not a conceptual plan.
Luis Yanez , Planning Commissioner, stated that he recalled adequate
and feasible access being discussed when the subdivision was before
the Commission. Mr. Yanez also noted that on occasion circular
driveways had been approved but not as a general rule. Planning
Commissioners Emling and Struthers concurred that they did not recall
driveways being required on tentative maps . Commissioner Struthers
noted that the dual entrances were the problem not the circular
driveways.
lir
Mr. Mohammadian, applicant, explained his position that
architecturally a circular driveway was the best option for lot #1 . He
also noted that he was not planning to use all of the allowed
development area for this lot. He confirmed that the map showed four
out of the eight lots having circular driveways .
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel , seconded by Dronkert and
passed unanimously to confirm the staff ' s statement that the tentative
map for Lands of Charvez International showing the circular driveways
is a conceptual plan and not binding on the Town.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by Plummer
and passed by the following roll call vote to grant the appeal for a
circular driveway for lot #1 of Lands of Charvez International on
O' Keefe but to urge the applicant to review the conceptual driveways
for the remaining lots in the Lands of Charvez International
Subdivision
AYES: Mayor Tyron and Councilmembers Plummer, Siegel and van Tamelen
NOES: Councilmember Dronkert

6- 4/6/88
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) :
3 . San Antonio Hills (west) Annexation
The City Manager ' s report dated 4/6/88 included the recommendation
that after the public hearing he be directed to request LAFCO to
continue their consideration of the San Antonio Hills (west)
annexation to their next regular meeting in June.
Tryon pointed out that this public hearing was not a protest hearing
and the City Manager explained that if LAFCO did approve the
annexation then the Council would hold a public hearing. Prior to the
protest hearing, all owners in the area under discussion would be
notified by mail . Depending on the percentage of those protesting,
the annexation would then either be agreed to, sent to the voters for
a decision or denied.
The following residents of the area under discussion addressed the
Council with their concerns about the annexation. They commented on
the potential building impact on their properties , the lack of
notification regarding the entire process of annexation, the cost of
permits and fees , their rights as property owners and impact on non-
conforming lots: Dorothea Tibbs , 10305 Kenbar Road; Matthew Ives,
24040 Spalding Avenue; Marshall and Sandy Hunkapiller, 11001 Mora and
46, Mr. Fretz, 10275 Kenbar Road. Bob Whitmire, San Antonio Hills (west)
area, stated that his house conformed as did his neighbors; Los Altos
Hills would be lucky to have them in the Town.
Edward Seaman, 11519 Arroyo Oaks, spoke in favor of the annexation. He
stated there would be a greater voice in local government, the area
was in the Town' s sphere of influence and the area included valuable
citizenry. Herman Hijmans, 23311 Mora Glen, and Victor Erickson,
Arroyo Oaks , also spoke in favor of the annexation. David Duperrault,
10600 Chardonnay Lane, stated that he was interested in seeing the
reports which had been prepared on the issue. He needed more
information to formulate an opinion. Bill Reynolds , 10931 Mora Drive
West, commented that LAFCO will ultimately annex the area in question
to one of the neighboring cities.
Joan Earnest, 12769 Dianne Drive and Richard Pearson, 14155 Donelson
Place, expressed their concerns about non-conforming lots in the area
under discussion. Judy Carico, 25311 O' Keefe, stated that she would
like the opportunity to vote on the proposed annexation particularly
as it included 80% non-conforming lots and an 11% increase in
population. Laurie Graham, Jessica Lane, asked that if an
informational mailing was done, could it include pros and cons, not
just a staff report. Luis Yanez, Chairman - Planning Commission,
referred to a letter he had written to Lori Scott, Planning
Consultant, concerning the meeting scheduled by the Planning
Commission for Friday, April 8th at 3 : 00 p.m. to discuss the San

E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) :
Antonio Hills (west) annexation. Shari Emling, 11853 Murietta, stated
that those annexing into the Town would have to conform to the Town' s
zoning regulation and this should be made very clear to those in the
area under discussion. Alma Wood, 12151 Stonebrook, questioned the
expenses the Town was incurring regarding this matter when the
annexation was not the Town' s idea in the first place. She also noted
that when the Town incorporated the San Antonio Hills Association was
in existence and they weren' t interested in being a part of the Town
at that time. Mrs . Wood also noted that few residents in the Town got
the Town Crier and notices of such meeting should be placed in other
newspapers . Lee Patmore, 27650 Central , thanked the Council for
holding a public hearing concerning this issue. She supported the
recommendation to ask LAFCO to continue the matter until June but she
did wonder where in the process the Council would make a clear
statement that the zoning in Los Altos Hills would not be changed.
Council thanked all those present for their interest and their
comments on the issue. It was agreed that staff reports, plan of
service , etc . would be available at Town Hall if anyone wished to come
in and review the files. An informational mailing on subject of the
annexation was also discussed. This mailing would go to Town residents
411/ as well as those owning property in the San Antonio Hills (west) area.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Siegel , seconded by van Tamelen
and passed unanimously to direct the City Manager to request LAFCO to
continue their consideration of the San Antonio Hills annexation until
their next regular meeting in June.
F . OLD BUSINESS:
G. NEW BUSINESS:
1. Approval of addition of review of proposal from Video Engineering
to the scope of work of the cable consultant
Council had before them the City Manager ' s report dated 4/6/88 which
included the recommendation that Council authorize Telecommunications
Management Corporation to review the proposal from Video Engineering,
Inc. , compare the proposal to the Sun Country Cable proposal and the
preliminary draft agreement and provide a written report and
recommendation on a comparison of the merits of the two proposals. The
cost of this review was not to exceed $1 , 250 . The recommendation also
included scheduling a study session with Telecommunications Management
Corporation.

8- 4/6/88
G. NEW BUSINESS: (continued) :
4111,
Council discussed the difficulties and ramifications of comparing a
proposal and a draft franchise agreement. The suggestion was made that
perhaps two separate reviews should take place but the statement was
made that this would not result in a comparison of the two.
David Kinley, Sun Country Cable, stated that he did not believe there
was a basis for further delay. The franchise agreement had been
negotiated and the new proposal should go through the same process
they did. Mr. Kinley further commented that the track record of Video
Engineering should be reviewed and questioned why this proposal had
not been submitted at an earlier time.
Luis Yanez , 26879 Moody Road, stated that he was an expert consultant
in the field of information systems . He commented that Council was not
under any obligation and should determine what the minimum
requirements were and should prepare a cost and benefit analysis . He
recommended hiring a consultant to determine what the Town needed
regarding cable tv and offered to help in this process.
Lyn Simpson, Sun Country Cable, stated that the Council probably had a
legal obligation. Cities have a right to set certain standards and to
determine if the applicant is qualified. Their firm had duly submitted
a proposal and gone through the negotiation process. While she
believed in being fair to Video Engineering, it did not make it fair
4111/ for their firm.
Betsy Bertram, 11854 Page Mill Road, commented that the Town had a
right to choose what they wanted and the Council should take their
time in making a decision.
George Beers , Ad Hoc Cable TV Committee, noted that he had remained on
the committee as a non-voting member and he was willing to assist at
this time in sorting out the proposal from Video Engineering. While
comparing a proposal with a draft franchise agreement was an issue, he
stated that the consultant, Telecommunications Management Corporation,
would be able to determine the differences prior to making a
comparison.
Shari Emling, 11853 Murietta, expressed serious concerns about
financial obligations for this undertaking. She thought there should
be very clear direction to the consultant and cost effectiveness
should be a high priority.
Ken Daniel , Video Engineering, stated that they had submitted a
proposal at this time because they did not believe they were getting
an adequate proposal from Sun Country Cable, Inc.
L
9- 4/6/88
4111, G. NEW BUSINESS: (continued) :
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Plummer, seconded by Dronkert
and passed by the following roll call vote to authorize
Telecommunications Management Corporation to review the proposal from
Video Engineering, Inc. , compare the proposal to the Sun Country Cable
proposal as amended and the preliminary draft agreement
differentiating between a proposal and a draft agreement and to
provide a written report and recommendation on a comparison of the
merits of all issues and documents related to the two proposals, at a
cost not to exceed $1, 250

Council had before them Mr. Mohammadian ' s letter dated 3/12/88
requesting reconsideration of condition S .E. of the tentative map and
the Director of Public Works staff report dated 3/ 31/88 . The staff
report included the recommendation that if the developer of Lands of
Currie completed all of the required subdivision improvements except
for the resurfacing of O ' Keefe Lane, then he should place in lieu
funds to cover the cost of any required resurfacing.
PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To delay consideration of this request concerning
condition S .E. of the tentative map for Lands of Charvez International
pending receipt of more information concerning cost sharing options.
3 . Consideration of participation in Santa Clara County Vector Control
District
The City Manager' s report dated 4/6/88 noted that the purpose of the
Vector Control District, whose formation had been initiated by the
Board of Supervisors, was to provide funding for the control of rats,
mosquitoes and other vectors as well as adequate monitoring for
encephalitis, malaria, and other vector-borne diseases. The district
would be funded by an assessment of $3 . 36 per single family residence
and this charge would be included in the property tax bill .
-10- 4/6/88
G. NEW BUSINESS: (continued) :
Lee Patmore, 27650 Central Drive , asked if poisons would be sprayed
under this program.
Mr. Keith Kraft, Department of Health, responded that only pesticides
approved by the State would be used under this program. Public health
was the first priority and if , at a future date, the majority of the
Council wished to remove the Town from the District, they could do so.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Plummer, seconded by van Tamelen
and passed unanimously by all members present to adopt Resolution #32-
88 declaring that the boundaries encompassing the Town of Los Altos
Hills shall be included within the Santa Clara County Vector Control
District.

O' Keefe Lane
Council had before them the staff report dated 4/1/88 prepared by the
Director of Public Works which included the recommendation that the
Town enter into a hold harmless agreement with the Ugies relating to
required flood protection.
Mrs. Ugie, 24970 O' Keefe Lane, stated that they were attempting to get
all of the work done. They had not realized that they were supposed to
have the bridge redesigned.
The City Attorney noted that rather than a hold harmless agreement,
the subdivision agreement would have to be amended.
PASSED BY CONSENSUS: To direct the City Attorney to prepare the
appropriate agreement with the Ugies relating to required flood
protection.
