The Town Planner referred to her staff report dated 7/30/87 which

recommended denial of the proposed tentative map for Lands of Clausen
41/ based on the findings in the 7/1/87 staff report (on file at Town
Hall) .
4- 8/5/87
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: Lands of Clausen (continued) :
V Mr. Henry Clausen, applicant, addressed the Council concerning his
proposed subdivision and his disagreement with the reports made at the
Commission meetings. Mr. Clausen submitted a letter dated 7/23/87 for
the record which explained his position on the issues of easement
grants, slope density, noise, drainage and circulation, geotechnical
investigation, widening of Voorhees Drive, widening of cul-de-sac,
installation of paths to accomodate school children, equestrians and
pedestrians. Mr. Clausen stated his opinion that there was great
disparity between what was being asked of him and what had been asked
of other developers in the area. He referred to two recent Supreme
Court cases which according to his letter dated 7/23/87 ' limit your
(the Town ' s) flexibility and freedom to impose regulations and to take
private property without just compensation or without due process of
law. ' Mr. Clausen further referred to the eminent domain hearings for
Highway 280 and stated that he was approved at that time for seven
lots on his property and that is the number of lots he should be
allowed to have now.
Marc Kaufman, President - Los Altos County Fire Protection District,
explained that the extension of Barley Hill through the Clausen
property would significantly reduce the response time to that area of
the Town from the Fire Department.
Council discussed the proposed tentative map before them and the
comment was made that although the subdivision may have worked in
) 'V 1965 , now it did not meet the Town ' s Ordinances . It was imperative
' that the Council upheld the ordinances of the Town and the tentative
map application before them did not meet the ordinances .
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by
Dronkert and passed unanimously to deny the request for tentative map
and negative declaration for Lands of Clausen, File TM #2-86 , El Monte
and Voorhees based on the following findings per Section 9-1 . 515 (e) of
the Town ' s Municipal Code:
1. The General Plan of the Town states that the net lot area for
residential lots should increase with an increase in average slope
based on slope density standards. This proposal does not meet this
standard, and therefore the design of the subdivision is not
consistent with the General Plan.
2. The design of the subdivision will expose future residents to
unacceptable outdoor noise levels , and with mitigation of those noise
levels for the majority of proposed lots, create substantial visual
and aesthetic impact. Inadequate information on: 1) drainage; 2) the
St. Nicholas School entrance redesign; and 3) geotechnical constraints
could create additional environmental impacts. The lack of an
emergency access route through the property is a substantial public
safety impact, according to the Los Altos Fire Department. For these
reasons , the design of this subdivsion or improvements are likely to
cause substantial environmental damage, and serious public health
problems .
5- 8/5/87
F. OLD BUSINESS:
1. Request from Planning Commission for authorization to attend Rural
Renaissance Conference in San Luis Obispo, August 27-29 , 1987,
sponsored by Cal Poly ' s City and Regional Planning Department
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dronkert, seconded by van
Tamelen and passed unanimously to approve the attendance of two
representatives from the Town at the Rural Renaissance Conference at a
cost per person no greater than $400 .
Councilmembers commented that when notices of these meeting arrived,
it might be a good idea for the Commission to discuss the benefit of
attendance to the Town and to select which conferences would be the
best to allocate expenditure of their budget to attend.
2 . Lands of Kerman, Lot 414, Matadero Creek Subdivision, request to
build cottage three feet outside building site
Councilmember Plummer stepped down from consideration of this item.
Mr. and Mrs. Kerman had distributed plans and a letter to the Council
requesting relief from the conditions of approval for the Matadero
Creek Subdivision to allow them to build a cottage projecting
approximately ten to fifteen feet beyond the building site circle
specified in the conditions of approval . While staff had seen the
letter they had not received a copy of the plans to review. It was
staff ' s recommendation that this matter be continued until such time
as staff had an opportunity to analyze their plans and make a
recommendation.
Mr. Steven Kerman, applicant, noted that there must have been a
misunderstanding. They were appearing before Council at this time
simply with a schematic layout of their proposal and just wanted to
get an idea if they could go ahead.
Mrs. Steven Kerman, applicant, noted that they were requesting
approval to leak out of the buiding site circle as long as their
dweling conformed to the Town' s zoning requirements. Their letter
stated that the proposed siting screened the cottage from on and off
site with three large oak trees, blended harmoniously with the
landscape by being nestled in the oaks; and moved the structure down-
slope reducing its visibility from off-site.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Dronkert, seconded by van
Tamelen and passed by the following roll call vote to allow the
structure on Lot #14 , Matadero Creek Subdivision, to exceed the limits
of the buiding site circle in the eastern corner of the lot provided
that it meets all zoning requirements of the Town.

Council had before them the Town Planner ' s staff report dated 7/30/87
which included the recommendations that Council continue consideration
of this request until plans which conform with the minimum zoning
ordinance requirements are submitted and that the revision of the
Matadero Creek Subdivision conditions of approval be moved up in
priority on the Planning Commission ' s work program.
Mr. Chan, applicant, explained to the Council that he wanted the CC&Rs
of the Materdero Creek Subdivision to conform to the Town' s new
ordinances which would allow him more flexibility to design the house
' that he wanted and would still be in line with the regulations .
Council discussed the differences between the calculations at the time
( of the CC&Rs for the Matadero Creek Subdivision and the currrent
11191 ordinances. According to the staff report dated 7/30/87 the maximum
development area and building coverage limits were calculated for this
lot according to the formulas of the pre-305 zoning ordinance, and in
addition all easements were removed from the area of the lot, rather
than vehicular access easements only. The issue of open space was
noted as one of the primary purposes of the Matadero Creek Subdivision
1 and the important of maintaining this open space was stressed.
Judith Carico, 25311 O' Keefe Lane, commented that at the time of the
Matadero Creek Subdivision there had been an agreement with the Palo
Alto Unified School District and the residents of the Town. In her
opinion there was no choice but to uphold the CC&RS of the
subdivision.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by van Tamelen, seconded by
