SD~830 - 6EORCE W. DA~ CONSTRUCTION CO. Hearing on appeal from Planning Commission Denial of tentative ma~ for 1~ l~t subdivision at Big Basin ~ay and Tollgate R~ad. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:17 P;M; GEORGE Mro Huff reported that this is the time and place set for this DAYAPPEAL public hearing, however, the applicant has asked that the hearing be continued because his Planning Consultant is ill and unable to attend the meeting. ~iayor Tyler stated that the Company was still interested in clu'ster- type development and would like this matter referred to the Planning C~o~,~!t~ee.

B. INFORMAL HEARiNG - VlA~K)NTE EBrfRANCE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:22 P.~, ~IA Councilman Robbins, for the benefit of those a~tending the meeting, ~iONTE outlined the background information concerning the Via Monte entrance ENTRANCE and presented ~he Planning Cornm~ tree reco~nendation that $I,285.00 be approved to put the Via M~nte entrance to Arroyo SararoSa in condition, maintainable by the interested residents. In .addition, upon completion of this work, it was suggested that the Boy Scouts, Cirl Scouts, and other youth ~roups be encouraSed to provide weedin~ and clean up for this area as part of their community service projects. Jim Naugle, Vice President of the Prides Crossing Home O~ners Association addressed the Council. He stated that the point that stood out in his mind and the minds of his neighbors was the fact that 75~ of the residents of the Arroyo Saratoga subdivision were opposed to the formation of a district which ~ould provide a means of maintenance for this entry way. As Vice President cea Homeowners Association which maintains 1,800 linear feet along Prospect Road, two islands, and an entrance way , he felt that the City should not approve this amount. However, he stated that Prides Crossing Home O~ners Association would be willing to match a similar amount for landscapir~ alor~ Prm pect Road. He added that at the present time the Association is spending one third of its budget on maintenance of landscaping.' Nr. Naugle considered this a substantial switch in Council policy and asked that something be done about the land- scaping along Cox Avenue ~est of Davies. He continued that it was not necessary to have a large number of people to form a homeowners association and stated that they have 200 members in Prides Crossin~ willin8 to pay the $5.00 dues. This represents approximately of the residents. - 3 ~ SAP~ATOOA CITY COUNC~LI l~rl~ .. l~s.Wa~uer ~.~ ~erer~ D606 V~a ~n~e ~.as~d ~hs~ shrubs be ~ud~d on ~he c~y proper~y sou~h of V~a ~on~e, appreciation for ~he ~ork of ~e Pla~ng Co~ee and u~ed ~he P~L~C ~I~ CLOSE~ AT 8:~ ~yor ~ler co~nded ~he Pr~des Cros~i~ Ho~ ~ers ~soc~t~ for ~he ~ork ~hey do ~n m~n~a~n~ en~ lands~ap~ bu~ ~o~n~ed ou~ ~ha~ ~he Co~c~l felt an obligation ~o cle~ up the V~a ~nte because of pas~ C~y action, H~ed by ~. ~obbin~ seceded b~ DT0.

Huff said the staff will keep careful S~DY tab on this to see what effect it has on our citizens who are residents of the Central Fire District. ~e Co~il will be kept i~omed on this ~tter. C~I~ONS A. ~I~ VINCE ~, Huff presented a letter fr~ Vince S. ~rrod requesti~ the ~OD - Council to hold a public hearing for the purpose of establishinS ~q~ST FOR their farm as an agricultural prese~e pursuant to ~vemmnt A~IC~ Code Section 51201 (d) of the Califonia ~nd Conservation Act P~SER~ of 1965. ~e City Attorney stated that the gilliamon Act, enacted in 1965, provided a method of t~ relief, by t~ postpone~nt, and proides that a County or City may desi~ate certain areas that are prime a~icultural areas as preserves which ~a~ that there- after the City my (but doesn't h~e to) enter into a ~ntract with the pro~rty ~ners whereby they agree, for a period of tm years, or more, not to use their pro~rty for other than agricultural uses. Ultimately, if this l~d is ever taken out · of this contractual obligation, then, in fact, the l~d ~er does pay back t~es. ~e law proides that before a City or County designates an area as an agricultural prese~e that it must hold at least one Public Hearing . ~. Garrod has mde a similar request to Cupertino ~d the County of Santa Clara in which he also has property. He is asking only that the City create this area as an a~ricultural prese~e. ~. Garrod addressed the Council. He stated that as a fami~ and recreational operation, they would li~ to stay in business but also wished to preserve open space which they can do under the Willimson Act, ~hich is a contract be~een the City and the~elves that states they will not do an~hi~ that is not c~atible with open space or agricultural ~e of their property.. It is a continui~ contract, renewable each year and in ~e event it is denied or revoked by the Council or ~. ~rrod the penalties are paid as if it were assessed as real estate, accordi~ to its use. ~. Carrod pointed out that their problem was that they are within the City of Culertino, the City of Saratoga and the Co~ty of S~ta Clara involving so~ 200 acres and they would like to have the ~hole parcel declared an agricultural prese~e.. He stressed the point that the City c~ designate compatible uses and referred to a list drawn up by the County which includes such stipulations as: no improvemnts can be added and uses must be in line with the open space concept. ~is does not interfere with any ~oning n~ on the property but delays i~lemnti~ the zoning ~til the contract is teminated. ~ Carrod added that it was their conviction that if they are successful this contract would continue for a good deal lonEer than ten years; Presently~ the operation is both agricultural and recreational (u~er State law). ~e Cupertino Nroperty borders one half mile of Stevens Creek Park. ~. Garrod submitted copies of the proposed agre~ent for the City Attorney~s perusal a~ copies of the restrictions ~d compatible uses ~ outlined by the County of S~ta Clara. He stated ~ would be pleased to provide any further info~tion. ~ithout objection, referred to the Planning C~ittee. - 6 - CITY OF SARAI'O(;A COUNC NUTES JAN~RY ], 19~0 XqBST 2.

Naugle wished to be informed when title is transferred to PARK the City so that something can be done with the land by Little League before the City expends any money. l~ayor Tyler suggested that this tantier should be brought to the attention of the Parks and Recreation Commission. As a point of information, the City Attorney stated that the title will pass within the next two weeks unless current negotiations fail. c. Youth Member - Parks and Recreation Commission YOUTH .~r, Naugle stated that Lynbrook High School had misunderstood F~4BER the intent of the letter received from the City and he asked PARKS & that the l~anagement Connnittee consider different techniques for RECREATION selecting candidates in the future.
