AYES: Mayor Nystrom, Councilman McReynolds NOES: Councilmonbers Perkins and Proft ABSENT: Councilwoman Aillestad Lorraine Morgan, Altamont Circle, spoke on behalf of the Altamont Hills Home- owners and asked Council three question: 1) were there any guidelines for the dedication of land for open space? 2) if Alta ont Hills was anneal, would their circles be maintained by the Town? and 3) could Altamont Hills be assuaged of the sane level of urban service as the rest of Ios Altos Hills? Coumcilmanbers and the City Attorney responded with the following information: 1) open space was an element of the Town's General Plan; 2) if the 'Town annexed a public street, the Tuan maintained it; if it annexed a private street, it did not. A private street could be dedicated to the Town. If the Tann accepted such an offer, it then maintained the street. 3) all areas of Los Altos Hills receive the sane level of service. Councilman Perkins questioned why prezoning was taking place at this time, par- ticularly if the Town had no definite plans for annexation. He further cemented that the Altamont Hills area was fully developed; the Tuan had nothing to offer then. Also the Altamont Hills area was zoned PTD (planned unit development or cluster housing) and this was different from the zoning in the rest of the Hills. Councilman Proft asked if PTD zoning was ompatible with the Town's philosophy and wondered what impact it would have if anne�d. -3- QTY ODUNCL MINUTES - May 21, 1980 E.
