The following people from the audience wished to address this issue:
Don Dodson, 239 Marchmont Drive, Chairman of the Los Gatos Museum Commission,
explains that the proposal from the Commission requests that the Town takes a more direct
role in managing the museums and establish means of accountability for funds expended.
Mardi Bennett, 38 Alpine Ave., asked that funds from the Transient Occupancy Tax be
used to help support the Museum. These funds were to be used for information regarding
the Town, cultural pursuits, and quality of life in Los Gatos. Some felt that this meant
support of arts and cultural pursuits in Town.
George Neukam, 832 Lilac Way, President of the Los Gatos Museum Association, did not
feel that the museums were asking for any additional funding but were simply asking that the
funds be distributed in a different manner.

Motion by Mr. Ventura, to close the public hearing. Mayor Ferrito declared the public
hearing closed.
Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mr. Hamilton, that Council accept Alternative #1 as

SHANNON ROAD 14615/HABIB AZAR/CERTIFICATION OF EIR/HEARING
Mayor Ferrito stated that this was the time and place duly noted for public hearing to
consideration of request for certification of an Environmental Impact Report and approval of
a proposed 14-lot subdivision of 54.7 acres of hillside land along Santa Rosa Drive and north
of Shannon Road in the HR-2½ Zone. Environmental Impact Report: EIR-88-1. Subdivision
Application: M-87-1. Property: 14615 Shannon Road. Property Owner: Habib Azar.
The following people from the audience wished to address this issue:
Virginia Fanelli, Fanelli Consulting, Inc., 1175 Saratoga Ave., San Jose, requested
certification of a submitted 15 lot map rather than the 14 lot map, notes riparian open space
and animal trails, suggests Town take title to the open space and requests further thought on
the extension of Sky Lane.
Victor Witt, 14780 Sky Lane, asked Council's consideration of safety on Sky Lane, the
availability of emergency access to residents of locked roads, and consideration of fire
hydrants on the new road when built.
Beverly Weinman, 14475 Shannon Road, would like to see larger lot sizes and asked who
will be doing the fencing around the trail that abuts her property.
Ray Elam, 14195 Shannon Road, would like a gate on the extended road and if there is a
gate he is willing to have the road built on his property.
Herb Weinman, 14475 Shannon Road, would like larger lots with individual ownership so
that owners will take care of their own property for fire concerns and weed control.
Steve Colen, 14677 Shannon Road, is concerned about the traffic on Shannon and
Kennedy Roads and asked to widen Blossom Hill Road.
Mr. Ventura, requested that the project dedicate additional contiguous open space to the
Town for the ability of having the 15th lot. Additionally he asked the project limit its lot sizes
to 1.2 acres on the upper level and to 2.5 on the lower sites. He also stated for the record
that his intent was not to reduce house size but to maximize open space. He does not wish
to subtract from building sites nor to reduce the ultimate square footage of the homes.
Mrs. Benjamin, stated that she disagrees with the mixed message being given by Council
to go to the hills in order to build a larger home and now being circumventing that by
decreasing the lot sizes so that larger homes are no longer viable options.
Mr. Hamilton, felt that it was rather late in the process to be asking for additional
dedication of acreage by this project.
