MAIN STREET W 131/RANKIN BUILDING/DAVE WILSON/RESTAURANT/LE BOULANGER TRAFFIC MITIGATION FEES (22.09) Vice Mayor Benjamin stated that this was the time and place duly noted for a public hearing to consider approval or a request for the operation of a restaurant within the Rankin Block Building in the C-2-LHP zone, conditional use permit U-92-5, property located at 131 West Main Street. Property Owner, Dave Wilson, et al, applicant: Le Boulanger, Inc. Appellant: John Lien.

UNIVERSITY AVENUE, 112/REFUND/APPLICATION FEES/DEBORAH GABRIS (08.09) Deborah Gabris, 381 Johnson Ave. Ms. Gabris indicated that she had met with Planning Director Lee Bowman to review the drawings of her home and the surrounding homes. She then spent approximately $2,000.00 on architect fees to ensure that her application would be TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California acceptable. At the development review board there was no objection to the plans, however, the planning department found an ordinance that would violate her expansion. The ordinance can not be changed. Ms. Gabris indicated that Mr. Bowman apologized for the misunderstanding about the ordinance and indicated that he would recommend that a 100% refund be given to her. However, Mr. Bowman did indicate that this would require Council action. TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California UNIVERSITY AVE. CONT. Motion by Mrs. Benjamin, seconded by Mr. Blanton, that Council refund 100 percent of the application fee, or two-thousand dollars ($2,000.00) to Deborah Gabris as permitted by Town Resolution 1992-34. Mrs. Benjamin felt that the $2,000.00 should be reimbursed because the ordinance that denies the project had been unknown to staff until this time, and no other project of this type had come before staff in the past to cause review of the ordinance. Ms. Gabris paid for the permit in good faith, and the Town accepted the payment in good faith being unaware of the ordinance. Mr. Ventura felt that the misunderstanding concerning the ordinance should not cause Deborah to lose her $2,000.00 application fee. Mr. Ventura wanted it noted for the record that he would not be in favor of changing the Ordinance but did think it was fair, in this case, to return 100% of Ms. Gabris application fee. Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE/LOS GATOS TRAILS COMMITTEE (18.20) Ms. Benjamin stated that item 18, which was pulled from the consent agenda, would be heard at this time. Sherri Walter 16345 L.G. Blvd. Ms. Walter asked that this item be pulled because she feels that the Bicycle Advisory Committee should be separate from the Trails Committee. Mrs. Benjamin indicated that a totally separate committee would incur additional administration costs and this is why the Council was considering a joint venture. The Trails Committee would add new members with specific interest in bicycle riding. Mr. Ventura also supports Mrs. Benjamin's proposal and feels that the ultimate goals are similar in providing public access for recreational purposes through public right of ways and easements in the hillsides. Adu Bagley, Chairman of the Trails Committee, 15235 Karl Ave. Los Gatos. indicated that the Trails Committee, with the help of a subcommittee of cyclists, could accomplish the job that is required. She indicated that there were avid bicyclists already on the Trails Committee. However, she is not opposed and welcomes additional members. Michael LaRocca, Director of Parks/Forestry/Maintenance, indicated that the Trails Committee now has nine members and that it would be advisable to increase the Committee by two members rather than one or three. Motion by Mr.Ventura, seconded by Mr. Attaway that we solicit applicants, via the normal prescribed process, to add two members to the Trails Committee. Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. David Lavern, 44 Woodland, Los Gatos. Mr. Lavern indicated that he is a part of the mountain bike team with D.A.R.T. and he would assist in getting information to cyclist who TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California might be interested in applying for the Trails Committee. Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mr. Attaway, that Council adopt Resolution 1992-129 entitled RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS DESIGNATING THE LOS GATOS TRAILS COMMITTEE AS THE BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. Mr. LaRocca indicated that staff would come back to Council with a Resolution amending the number of persons on the Trails Committee. TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California MINUTES OF JUNE 15, 1992 (23.V) Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mr. Blanton, that Council approve the Minutes of June 15, 1992 as submitted.

Carried by three ayes. Mr Ventura and Mayor Carlson absent. The Clerk read the title. Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr Attaway to introduce an Ordinance entitled ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF A CONDITION OF WATER SHORTAGE AND PROVIDING FOR MANDATORY REDUCTIONS IN A SPECIFIED PROHIBITIONS OF WATER USE AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 1848. Carried 3 ayes. Mr. Ventura and Mayor Carlson absent. RENT INCREASES/RESCIND ORDINANCE 1906/CLARIFY CRITERIA (26.16) Mrs Benjamin asked if there were any questions or if there was anyone in the audience who wished to address this issue. Mr. Ventura asked if there was anything about vacancy control in the ordinance. Town Attorney, Katherine Anderton, affirmed that there was nothing about vacancy control in the ordinance before Council. Jack Cole, 14685 Oka, Road Los Gatos. Mr. Cole does not support the proposed change in Ordinance 1906 because he feels there should not be a compromise. He does not think the draft ordinance is an improvement over the current ordinance. Mary Alice Blice, 484 Woodland, #43, Los Gatos . Ms Blice stated that she has lived in her mobile park since 1958 and there have been five owners. She indicated that there had been no major rent increase due to pass throughs until the present owners purchased the property. Mrs. Benjamin asked if there were any additional questions. Mr. Blanton stated that there were several legal questions in a situation like this. The Town Attorney stated that the threshold test was whether or not the property owner can secure a fair and reasonable return on investment. She believes the ordinance is structured to provide effective criteria for review if a tenant objects to a rent increase. It establishes a system for review and analysis. Mr. Ventura and Mr. Blanton would like to see this matter continued so that he could meet with tenants and TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California hear their concerns. Deborah Gabris, 381 Johnson Ave, Los Gatos. Stated that she also owns a home in the mobile home park. She believes that seniors can't move their homes easily and as a result they are caught paying the increase in rent. Ms. Gabris does not support the ordinance unless it can be modified. She believes that mobile park homes built before 1978 can not be legally moved, and because of that, many senior citizens will become homeless. TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California RENT INCREASES CONT. Town Attorney, Katherine Anderton, specified that the proposed ordinance amendment clarifies that increased cost of debt service, attributable to purchase of mobile homes, would be transferred to occupants of the rented coaches. All other costs of debt service would be equally divided among all mobile home spaces. Also, if the market did not support increasing the rent on a unit where the park owner owned the coach and the space, the market would make it impossible for the owner to increase that spaces rent. Harriet Shuel, Executive Director of Information and Referral Services. Ms Schuel stated that the ordinance has been developed on a number of testimonies from a variety of people. Ms. Shuel feels the Rent Advisory Committee is confused by Council's delays in acting. Ms. Shule asked the Council to give the Rent Advisory Committee credit for trying to come up with an ordinance that is fair and reasonable for everyone. She believes that some renters feel that any increase in rent is excessive if they have a limited income. However the owners need to receive a return on their fair market value. David Lavern, 484 Woodland, Los Gatos. Mr. Lavern is concerned with the upkeep and maintenance of the park. He wonders how the maintenance will change with a new owner, and he questions if the renters could afford to keep the maintenance up. He believes that the owner will increase and pass through the cost of operation. Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Ventura to continue this matter until July 20, 1992. Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. Mr. Blanton asked to be included in any meetings regarding this subject. Motion by Mr. Blanton, seconded by Mr. Ventura to authorize the Town Attorney to retain legal counsel with mobile home expertise to assist in developing vacancy control provisions and evaluating the Town's current rent mediation ordinances. Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RATES/AMENDMENT (27.07) Vice Mayor Benjamin asked if there were any questions of staff. Mr. Blanton asked if the increase per can, was a total reflection of the new San Jose Business Tax. Town Manager, David Knapp, indicated that it is a 13 1/2% increase with 11% of that attributed to the San Jose Business Tax. John Snelham, 247 Old Adobe Road, Los Gatos . Mr. Snelham stated that he is pleased with the progress that the Town is making with the Green Valley franchise. He feels that service levels may have to change in order to keep a long term steady rate. The franchise now reflects a line item budget with no further profit on the pass through. The budget is now a "stand TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California alone" budget for the next year and Green Valley understands what the Town is accomplishing. Phil Couchee, Green Valley Disposal, 573 University Avenue, Los Gatos. Indicated that revenues must cover services that are being offered. Green Valley's present budget was proposed under a "cost recovery" year. This means that Green Valley now assumes all responsibility for cost over runs. They are now incurring the $10.00 San Jose Business Tax and the proposed rate change, incorporates that fee. There was no one else wishing to speak to this matter. TC:D3:MM070692 July 6, 1992 Los Gatos, California SOLID WASTE RATES CONT. Motion by Mr. Ventura, seconded by Mr. Attaway, to adopt Resolution 1992-130 entitled RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF LOS GATOS MODIFYING RATES FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES. Carried unanimously. Mayor Carlson absent. CHARTER OAKS/OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE/AGREEMENT (28.27) Vice Mayor Benjamin invited comments from the audience. Thelma Spaziani, 204 Willow Hill Court, Los Gatos. Ms. Spaziani is a member of the Charter Oaks Townhouse Association and the Association would like to be sure that the areas are defined and that they would be able to work with the Town in planting the area. She is concerned about the traffic and requested that signs be installed. The Association would also like to keep the signs at the two parking lots on the eastern section. Vice Mayor Benjamin recommended that there be some dialogue on Item 3 between the Town's Planning Department and the Charter Oaks Association. Niki Clapp, 108 Terri Hill Court, Los Gatos. Requests that bicycles stay on the trails and that the access be limited to the existing trails rather than all over the bank. Staff indicated that the Town had the same goals. The Association is also concerned about overnight or extended parking problems and if that should happen, the residents may request Preferential Parking during the night hours. There was no one else wishing to speak to this matter. Motion by Mr. Attaway, seconded by Mr. Ventura, to authorize staff to revise Charter Oaks Open Space Maintenance Agreement. Carried unanimously.
