He fel.t the las� paragraph on Page 5 was incomplete and
felt the following should be addecl:
"Since Ordinance 220 requires a lot Uaidth o� a'c least 70'
in order to be a legal lo�, tl�en �:his one must be 70' tiv i_d�
(at least); thereiore, side yards must to'�al 1�;' total
� side y�rd. Also, minimum`side ya�d of 6' means that th-�re
musL be a 6' wide strip in.side the fence Uahich must not b�
� encroached upon b� �che Y�uildingo So: the pertinent dimen-
sion is 6' measure�t perpendicular to the fence on one s�_de,
and a total of 1�, ' so measured on the tUro sides ."
Page 7, 3.n the second motion of that page, the word "desi�ned"
s�hould instead be "designated."

The Ci�;y At'co,rney said 'che Coun�y Council says the proper
applicant her.e is V�11ey T3.t1e Compan�. The City of
C�pert.ino assuines no responsibility for any problems,
legal or oth�rwise, that migl?t come up;
As to Ordinance Lb7 Revtsed : The C�.ty 'A�;torney said the
property abu�s Si,evens Creek Blvd,, and'Wi11 involve
dedica�Lions. A puUlic agency , can dnfer put'cin� these
im�rovements in., A deed from either Va11ey Title or
the Schoo7. Board is valid.
As to Ordinance 220 �f), 'che Planning Director said the
question is whether or not the City can impose conditions
on rezonin�s. Many other cities do. The City o.f' Santa
Clara h�s a system of their own: They rezone ti the
lower-case l.etter "e" added to the sym�ol, indicating
"e�ceptions", require a development p1an, and make a
fir_al. rezoning �vithout "e" vahen construc'cion starts and
it is clear that the development p13n vai11 be follo�aed.
In the case of CL�pertino, we have a tool �'or attachin�

�31,00�- ORDINANCE 220(g) - Height Regulations
The Planning Comm�ssion has been asked by che City Council
to stud��r three sections of the Orc�inance,
The Planning Director had, at the request of Cha�rman
Johnson, further inquired into Ordinances of this kind in
neighboring cities. He found no common denomina'cor.
Woodside ha�s a limit of 50' for all aerials.
Los Altos Hills limits heigh� to 30 for any structure -
building or aerial; with exceptions through Variance proced���°e�
Los Altos allows 15' above the heigh� regulation for a
particular zone (Rl = 30' + 15' _�!5'). They do allow
masts higher than 1 15' if they are retractible.
Atherton allows 38', gene�al limit for all constructions,
aerials as well as bu�.ldings�
P Park lost a court case on this.
San Mateo has no restrictions (Information by Director of
i'u�lic Works).
Redwood C:�ty tried to restrict the height but are backed
b,y no Ordinance. (Information by Director of Public tidorks)�
Carmel h�.s a franchise for the City for a caule for TV
reception, Thes� have 30' and 35' maximum; anything over
tha'c would have �o be a Variance, and they never grazi�L
Varianceso
Palo Alto says l�' above building heighL limits
(R1.= 3r' + 15f = 50')
The Planning Director fee?s it would be logical to have
tvao different res�rictior,� -- one for ZV and one for ham
radio antennas.
Chairman Johnson suggested this matter be reopened to
Public Hearings at the next regular meeting� The City
Attorney had advised that a new advertisement would be
necessary �o reopen the Public Hearings.
Comm. F�olich r.equested the staff acquire cost informaryon
about the various services.
The Plannino Director said Section 68,7 could be deleted
because it is duplicated in the Underground Uti�_ities
Ordinance.
Moved by Comm. Traeumer, seconded by Comm. I'rolich, to de�_�i:e
Sec, 68,o from the Ordinance on the basis that it; is v� r•J
difficul� to enforce, not that We shouldn'� include the
