The County of Santa Clara has prepared draft conditions of approval for the above referenced
applications and final action is scheduled to be taken on January 22, 2002 (Attachment 1). Town Staff
has requested that the County postpone final action until January 23, 2002 in the event Council
recommends further changes to the preliminary conditions of approval. The County has been working
with the California Division of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) in developing the conditions of
approval to preserve the helipad. Only one condition has been included for each project relating to the
helipad, which requires the property owner to record with the County Recorder, an acknowledgment
that they have full knowledge of the existing helicopter operations by CDF on the adjacent parcel.

Based on a verbal conversation with John Ferreira of CDF, they are satisfied with the draft conditions.
A condition concerning a navigation easement was not included since the legal counsel of CDF
determined that this condition should not be pursued. Although it is not required, CDF is working with
Caltrans to relocate the helipad on site so that the flight path would not cross the subject parcels. CDF
agreed to inform the Town in writing of the outcome of the meeting with Caltrans and that they are
satisfied with the conditions of approval for the subject applications. This letter will be forwarded to
Council when received. In addition, the County's final action on these applications will also be
forwarded to Council.
