conditions of Town Architecture and Site Application S-85-74 and Conditional
Use Application (U-85-36) for property located at 15310 Kennedy Road;
WHEREAS, the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District desires to grant to the
Town of Los Gatos a Park, Recreation, Scenic and Open Space Easement over
approximately the southerly four (4) acres of Assessor's Parcel Number
537-13-003 acquired from James and Donna Blair, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "I";
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Section 51085 on March 12, 1986,
the Planning Commission of the Town of Los Gatos found that the proposed grant
of park, recreation, scenic and open space easement is consistent with the
Town's General Plan and the Hillside Specific Plan;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Section 51084, the Town Council
hereby finds as follows:
a. The preservation of the land described in Exhibit "I" is consistent with
the Town's General Plan and the Hillside Specific Plan; and
b. The preservation of the land described in Exhibit "I" is in the best
interest of the Town of Los Gatos because:
(1) The land is essentially unimproved, and if retained in its natural
state it has scenic value to the public and is valuable as a
watershed and as a wildlife preserve and the instrument granting
the easement contains appropriate covenants to that end.
(2) It is in the public interest that the land be retained as open
space because such land will add to the amenities of living in the
Town of Los Gatos and will help preserve the rural character of
the area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council that the Town of Los Gatos
accepts the park, recreation, scenic and open space easement as set forth in
Exhibit "I", and the Town Council authorizes and hereby directs the Mayor to
execute a certificate of acceptance of said easement.
