TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS May 5, 2011
Staff Report to the Planning Commission
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION FINDING THAT THE VACATION OF PUBLIC USE
EASEMENT ON CHAPARRAL WAY IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LOS
ALTOS HILLS GENERAL PLAN; FILE #: 85-11-MISC
FROM: Richard Chiu, City Engineer -AO, _ a�
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission:
Approve the attached Resolution finding that the vacation of public use easement on
Chaparral Way is consistent with the Circulation and Pathways Elements of the Los Altos
Hills General Plan.
BACKGROUND
On May 28, 2009 the City Council directed staff to proceed with modifying the existing
public use easement on Chaparral Way to a 7 to 10 foot wide easement for non -vehicular use.
The purpose was to clarify that the Town's maintenance responsibility on Chaparral Way was
limited to pathway use and not for roadway purposes.
DTSC'T MSTON
The existing Public Use Easement to be vacated is approximately 3,000 feet long, 20 and 40
feet wide. The proposed easements to be retained are a Public Utility Easement with the
same dimensions as the existing Public Use Easement and a Pathway Easement that is 7 to 10
feet wide for the same length. Town staff worked with the Town's consulting surveyor and
the Town attorney's office to prepare the documents necessary to vacate the Public Use
Easement and retain easements for public utility purposes and pathway purposes.
Section 65402 of the Government Code requires that the Planning Commission report to the
City Council as to whether proposed Public Use Easement vacation and reservation conforms
with the Los Altos Hills General Plan.
Staff is available to answer any questions of the Planning Commission or public.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
May 28, 2009
Staff had prepared preliminary costs for natural and synthetic turf fields and they were
available to Council as an attachment to the staff report. The College had indicated a
preference for synthetic turf.
Christensen commented that at this time, staff was recommending deferring the project until
next year citing the concern that there could potentially be a substantial diversion of Town
fiscal and staff resources that could put proper completion of planned improvements to Town
owned recreational assets at risk. It was also noted that the college campus was very much
adult oriented and the Los Altos School District remained interested in developing a soccer
field at Gardner Bullis which was a more appropriate site for children.
Council discussion ensued. Concerns sited were the lack of input from soccer organizations
and lacrosse groups; absence of true project costs; the potential fiscal impact on the
Westwind Community Barn project; and, the terms outlined by the College for the Town's
use of the facility. A preference to invest in Town properties was expressed. There was no
Council support for the expenditure of funds this year. It was suggested that a more specific
proposal (term sheet) from the Town might provide a more optimal discussion platform for
the project. Staff suggested a "turn key" proposal for the field improvements with the College
as the lead agency. Councilmember Larsen offered that he believed there was an opportunity
open to the Town to develop a soccer field and improve relations with the College. He did
not propose spending the costs that had been outlined in the staff report but supported further
investigation. Larsen volunteered to work with the staff to define the term sheet and project
site proposal. There was no consensus to open discussions with the Los Altos School District.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Larsen, seconded by Warshawsky to
authorize Councilmember Larsen and staff to continue negotiations with Foothill College for
the potential use of the Practice Field and to initiate the development of a term sheet
proposal/concept plan with the assistance of staff for an amount not to exceed $5,000.
• Sewers and Infrastructure
Councilmember Larsen reported that the next meeting of the Ad Hoc Sewer (Infrastructure)
Committee was scheduled for June 24th at Town Hall.
8. Pathway Improvements for Chaparral Way (Staff: R. Chiu)
City Engineer/ Public Works Director Richard Chiu introduced the item to Council. He
provided an overview of the project. In October, 2008 during discussions with Council
regarding public use easements on Chaparral Way, resident Tom McReynolds expressed
his concerns for shared use of the road for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Council
discussed the proposal of a one time financial assistance in an amount not to exceed
$20,000 for making safety improvements to accommodate pathway use. Staff was
directed to investigate and return to Council with recommendations.
Council had before them a technical memoranda that had been prepared by CSG
Consultants based on the improvements identified at the previous meeting. Staff
recommended the following safety improvements: trim vegetation to correct visibility
issues; grade the area to increase usable pathway space; installation of a reflective plastic

post system to delineate the edge of the road; and, the installation of a road gate that
would allow unobstructed pathway use by equestrians and pedestrians.
Staff had walked the site/road with - resident Thomas McReynolds and the consultant.
Chiu proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation that included pictures illustrating the
scope of work per the recommendations. Staff was also recommending approval of
associated drainage improvements necessary for pathway use.
In addition to the safety improvements, Chui advised that staff was recommending that
Council consider vacating the public use easement and reserving a separate easement (7
to 10 feet wide) for non -vehicular pathway use by the public. Chiu shared several site
plans with Council that delineated the pathway easement and public and private
easements on Chaparral Way. The vacation and reservation procedure was established by
state law. Chiu noted that the easement modifications would clarify now and into the
future that the Town's maintenance responsibility on Chaparral Way was limited to
pathway use and not for roadway purposes.
City Manager Cahill advised Council that recorded easement modifications were
necessary to ensure that there was no misunderstanding with the residents as to the
Town's responsibility for the roadway. He noted that the oral agreement that had
previously been reached was not a viable remedy.
Council discussion ensued. There was a consensus of the City Council that the pathway
safety improvements were a good compromise and the one time expense was consistent
with Council's direction. Subsequent pathway maintenance would be provided consistent
with the maintenance provided to other paths.
Council suggested that ii would be appropriate for the Town to acquire an agreement
signed by the neighborhood representative as a condition for the installation of the gate.
MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Kerr, seconded by Warshawsky and
passed unanimously to approve a budget up to $20,000 for pathway safety improvements
related to non -vehicular pathway use on Chaparral and to authorize staff to proceed with
the modifications of the public use easement to a 7 to 10 foot wide easement for non-
vehicular use. Installation of the road gate would require a document from the
neighborhood representative bringing to a close requests for roadway maintenance.
NEW BUSINESS
9. Finance Department Reorganization for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2009 -
(Staff. N. Pegueros)
Finance Director Nick Pegueros introduced the item to Council. The item before Council
was a proposal to reorganize the Town's finance department for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2009. The reorganization would require the elimination of the Accountant/Office
Manager position. The budgetary resources for that position would be reallocated to a
combination of professional services and part time personnel budget that would assist the
Town in cost-effectively and efficiently completing priority projects. Additionally, the

conveyances to the city of real property interests for street and road uses
and purposes. The designee shall, prior to recording any conveyance under
this section, affix a certificate to the instrument stating the acceptance into
the city street system and designating the name or number, or both, of the
city street or road."
The Town's current process for roadway dedication/acceptance is not
documented in an ordinance. The Town adopted a policy in 1997 that
details a process for acceptance of private roadways which identifies the
role of the Town and responsibility of private road owners. Inherent in the
policy is the potential public cost of accepting and maintaining streets as
public.
Goal C-2
Many of the Town's roadways are privately owned and vary in their
level of maintenance. The Town encourages consistent roadway
maintenance and quality throughout the Town.
Objectives
The policies and implementation measures should result in
X The dedication of private roadways to public ownership when
requested by affected property owners, when they have been upgraded
to current Town standards and where all necessary dedications have
been offered by adjacent property owners.
X For every private road not intended to be dedicated to public
ownership the formation of maintenance agreements between property
owners responsible for monitoring and maintaining their respective
private roadways.
Policies
-tl Dedication will be considered only when the road is maintained and, if
necessary, improved to a level acceptable to the Town.
The Town may provide limited resources to assist with the acceptance
and improvement of "through" private roads to public road standards.
av New private roads shall not be permitted.
-,1 Private, gated roadways shall be prohibited.
Implementation Measures
✓ Specific requirements for private roadways to be dedicated to public
maintenance shall be developed and incorporated into the Town's
municipal code.
✓ A sample road maintenance agreement shall be prepared and provided
to interested residents on private roads.
Page 9
Los Altos Hi& - Circulation dam' Scenic Roadways Element —
Adopted Januay 20, 1999
✓ The Town shall investigate the status of Town roadways to resolve
ambiguities as to which are public and which are private.
Driveways
The design of driveways is important for safety and aesthetic reasons.
Because most development in Los Altos Hills is on steep terrain, driveways
tend to be long and driveway intersections with roadways are more critical
than in more urban settings.
Goal C-3
Driveways should be compatible with the natural terrain, with
minimal impact on grades and vegetation and should be designed for
safe access to and from the individual parcels.
Objectives
The policies and implementation measures should result in:
X Minimal cut and fill from grading of driveways.
X Minimal impact to native and existing vegetation.
X Safe and adequate ingress and egress to the private parcel.
Policies
Driveways shall be of a minimum width in order to accommodate
emergency vehicles.
-,Zl Driveways shall not exceed a maximum grade in order to allow for safe
travel, including the access of emergency vehicles.
Driveway design shall allow for adequate and safe development of
pathways near roads. This will include a roughened surface at pathway
crossings to allow safe equestrian use.
�► Driveways shall have adequate sight distance to allow for safe entry
onto the roadway.
-q� Driveway design shall be required to minimize cut and fill and impacts
on vegetation, consistent with providing for safe access.
Driveways should be designed with adequate drainage.
Driveways should be located to provide for landscaping between
properties, to protect privacy, and to maintain a safe distance between
adjacent driveways.
Street addresses should be based on the street where the driveway
access is located.
Implementation Measures
✓ Driveway standards shall be incorporated into the Town's Site
Development and Subdivision codes.

THE PATHWAYS SYSTEM
GOAL 1
Develop and maintain a safe, convenient pathways system that allows
non -vehicular travel throughout Town, meets recreational needs
of residents, and provides regional connections.
Policy 1.1 All residents of the Town shall have immediate access adjacent to or across the
street from their residence to a pathway or pathways, for safe and convenient
pedestrian and other non -vehicular travel along Town roads and to schools and
community facilities, and for recreational enjoyment of the natural amenities of
the community.
Policy 1.2 Pathways shall serve to provide access to and from neighborhoods in the event of
an emergency.
Policy 1.3 Pathways shall be separated from the roadway pavement wherever possible and
meander where necessary to accommodate topography, trees and landscaping.
Policy 1.4 All paths shall be located and designed to preserve the beauty and natural
character of .the area and to safeguard the user.
Policy 1.5 Except for connections to regional trail and bikeway networks, Town paths shall
be designed primarily for local circulation and recreational use.
Policy 1.6 The Town shall maintain the pathways, using both pathway fees and General
Fund monies.
The annual Pathways Run is a popular event.

Adopted May 8, 2008
GOAL
Develop and maintain a system of roadside paths
adjacent to public and private streets.
Policy 2.1 Roadside paths shall be located within or
immediately adjacent to the right-of-way of
Town streets and on separate pathway
easements adjacent to or over private streets.
Roadside paths shall be separated from the
roadway pavement by landscape buffering
and shall meander, where possible.
Policy 2.2 The Town Council shall adopt a list of those
streets or segments of those streets that shall
be planned for paths on both sides of the
street. (The approved list is included in
Appendix A.)
Landscaping separates this path
from Fremont Road.
Policy 2.3 A roadside path shall be maintained on only one side of the street unless the
street is included on the list adopted pursuant to Policy 2.2. The path may be
located on alternating sides of the street, however, depending on factors such as
available easements, topography, or proximity to schools or other facilities. If
only one side of the street is in Los Altos Hills, there should be a path on the side
within the Town's corporate limits.
Policy 2.4 Typically, a roadside path shall not be maintained on a cul-de-sac that serves or
could serve eight or fewer lots. However, a roadside path along a cul-de-sac may
be required by the Planning Commission or Council for topographic or safety
reasons, and shall be required where it would connect to an off-road path.
Policy 2.5 The Planning Commission or City Council may require that an easement separate
from a private street be dedicated, or that a pathway easement over the paved
roadway be granted (if feasible), when the width of a private street easement of
right-of-way will not accommodate both the paved surface and a separate path.
Policy 2.6 Dedication of pathway easements outside of required road rights-of-way shall not
affect the computation of the net area, LUF (lot unit factor), MDA (maximum
development area) or MFA (maximum floor area) for a lot.
