Uh 204 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,240 general plan uh and uh a series of 205 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,400 omissions uh and adjustments that were 206 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,879 suggested also by the in the same email. 207 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:30,479 Sage, can I hand that off to you to 208 00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:32,159 address 209 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:33,599 the author? 210 00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:35,360 >> Um so sure. Would you just like me to 211 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,279 address the comments? Ye. 212 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:38,800 >> Yes. Y 213 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,519 >> um so uh Miss Hansen brought up a few 214 00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:44,399 points with the general plan uh annual 215 00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:47,120 progress report. Um so I'll just take 216 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,959 them in order. Uh the first one is 217 00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:52,000 regarding policy OS 1.1 218 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,440 which talks about the preservation of 219 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,560 open space um as uh should be given a 220 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:59,519 high priority um and the development 221 00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:00,959 should be in harmony with the rural 222 00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:02,399 character of the town and optimize 223 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:05,360 opportunities to preserve open space. Um 224 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,399 the comment notes that report card 225 00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,360 doesn't uh indicate the actions taken to 226 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,200 uh abandon a portion of the open space 227 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160 at the Kyotic Corners. Um that was 228 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,880 something that was a proposed project 229 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,200 that came out of a uh voter initiative 230 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,600 that was passed to modify that open 231 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,880 space. Um so that project was uh 232 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,560 proposed, went through the process and 233 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,880 ultimately approved um primarily based 234 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,040 on that voter initiative. 235 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,160 the um property at Rayundo Drive um for 236 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,480 several years. It's really it's a 237 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,760 working property that the town has used 238 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,760 uh as kind of a transfer station for its 239 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,640 green debris. Um so that sometimes has 240 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,640 equipment on it and various times has 241 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,279 different green debris that's located 242 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,560 there before it's taken out of the town 243 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:02,640 um for composting. Um, High Road. Uh, so 244 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,279 with High Road and Raundo, both of those 245 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:08,560 changed open space designations. 246 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:10,160 Basically, with a general plan, you're 247 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,160 often weighing different priorities. Um, 248 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160 you know, we have state mandates to look 249 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,399 at. And these two pieces of what were 250 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,680 zoned open space are the smallest open 251 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:26,480 space areas in the town of Woodside. uh 252 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560 with Rayundo a little bit over an acre 253 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,279 and a half and the high road with just 254 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:35,040 being just about an acre. Um and so with 255 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,680 those weighing priorities, you know, the 256 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,399 council looked at minimal options to do 257 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:42,160 what's necessary for a certified housing 258 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160 element and that was the action taken. 259 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Um, so wi with those comments, um, if 260 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,600 the town council would like us to, we'd 261 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,480 be happy to kind of insert that those 262 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,040 kind of reasoning of what was actions 263 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,279 were taken on those three projects. Um, 264 00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:58,880 and we could include that in the APR. We 265 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,000 don't have a problem with that. Or if 266 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,680 you have anything else to add or if you 267 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,839 just like to leave it as it is, just 268 00:11:03,839 --> 00:11:06,880 we'll take that direction. 269 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,480 >> Thank you. Any questions for Steve? 270 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,600 have a comment 271 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,000 >> comment 272 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160 >> if there's any questions. 273 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,399 >> Yeah. Uh are there any questions from 274 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,959 the public on uh item number four, the 275 00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:23,990 consent? 276 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,880 » Welcome, Miss Hansen. 277 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,440 >> Thank you. Um, I mean it was first of 278 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,680 all the exercise was great for me to go 279 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,040 back and look at the general plan 280 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,680 because I found a lot of other items 281 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,079 that we have in the general plan that 282 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:40,959 speak to conditions that are no longer 283 00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:44,720 in place. So, um, I'm glad we do an 284 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,240 update to the general plan and I'm glad 285 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,640 I had a chance to look at it. Uh, it's a 286 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,959 report card. If my kids came home and 287 00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:52,880 only told me what classes they were 288 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,279 getting A's in, and they neglected to 289 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:58,000 tell me about that calculus test, that 290 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,519 was at the same time that it was a 291 00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:02,880 really great snow day. It I I feel like 292 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,440 it is appropriate that we address the 293 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,079 things that the town has done um that we 294 00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:10,800 list in the general plan as priorities. 295 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440 And so my question is, would you please 296 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,040 consider adding the C minus in calculus 297 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,959 with the A+ and other things that we're 298 00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:20,639 doing? Thank you. 299 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:23,839 >> Thank you. 300 00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:26,079 >> Any other comments on item four? 301 00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,760 >> And and there are other things, but I 302 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,639 figure we just 303 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,600 >> Yeah, there was a laundry. Yeah, a lot. 304 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,399 Okay. Uh any thoughts from council? You 305 00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,120 had a comment to start things off or 306 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,279 >> Sure. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I think Kim, I 307 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:40,560 think you made some really great points. 308 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,240 I think my comment would be I I would 309 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,000 definitely support including this 310 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,720 information in the report card. Um, I I 311 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,399 my preference would be to include it 312 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,000 factually, right? Because again, like 313 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,680 when we look at the general plan, like 314 00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,440 we're weighing different priorities. So 315 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,200 I guess my my one difference of opinion 316 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,600 is that I I wouldn't characterize this 317 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600 as like a C++ or an A+. It's just 318 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,839 factually this is, you know, actions 319 00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:06,240 that the town took. And I think that uh 320 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,560 including that factual information I 321 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,160 have no issue with. 322 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,200 >> Very good. Other comments? 323 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,680 >> Yes. 324 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,240 >> I would disagree or agree with with 325 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,079 Jen's. Yeah. Wasn't clear. 326 00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:22,720 >> I want to just thank you for providing 327 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,040 the comments in the first place. A lot 328 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,240 of homework went into that and we 329 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,160 appreciate it. 330 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,160 >> Yeah. I also wanted to thank Miss Hansen 331 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,880 for um reading part of the packet. And 332 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,240 I'm not so well I shouldn't speak for 333 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,480 I'll speak for myself. We don't always 334 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,160 go into the kind of depth that clearly 335 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,680 you did on this. So I do appreciate 336 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,480 that. Um I did have a comment on the OS1 337 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,440 general plan. Um as I think some might 338 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,720 expect and um I've always viewed the 339 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,800 general plan as sort of like it's the 340 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,800 equivalent of in the in the federal 341 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,279 government it's the constitution. In 342 00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:56,800 cities and towns it's the general plan. 343 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,120 I mean that's sort of our 344 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,959 bible if you will and that's supposed to 345 00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:02,079 be our overriding thing. It's supposed 346 00:14:02,079 --> 00:14:04,800 to be a serious document that we review 347 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,560 every decade or so. And um um it's 348 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,600 really supposed to be, you know, the guiding light, if you will, of how 349 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,519 we do things. And I think that um you 350 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:16,880 know, I made it pretty clear during the 351 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,120 last housing element that we discarded 352 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,320 parts of the general plan just 353 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,079 willy-nilly because the state was 354 00:14:22,079 --> 00:14:23,680 holding a gun to our head was what I was 355 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,560 told and uh what we were told. And um I 356 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040 think to change the zoning, as I've said 357 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,240 many times, from our most protected open 358 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,920 space for the preservation of natural 359 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000 resources, it doesn't get any more 360 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,880 pristine than that, to changing it 361 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,079 literally with a, you know, click of a 362 00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:47,199 pen to um multifamily with uh up to 20 363 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,519 units per acre, which is our our most 364 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:51,600 intensive use to go from one extreme to 365 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,360 the other was really a breathtaking 366 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,519 move. and just to check them off just 367 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,399 kind of, you know, in in the course of 368 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,880 an evening or two uh in the middle of 369 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,360 the night uh to to to check these things 370 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440 off was really sort of I think insulting 371 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,639 to the I think our citizens and to the 372 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,920 um uh to our general plan which we just 373 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,519 ignored. And I've always viewed zoning 374 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,600 as very as a very sacred thing. I know 375 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,279 that when I buy a property or when I 376 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:18,959 have bought a property, when it's owned 377 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:20,399 a certain way, I don't just think, well, 378 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:22,240 I could build a hotel here if I want to, 379 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,560 if it's a house now. And yet, apparently 380 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,639 that's the way it works now. And so, 381 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:28,240 that was very disappointing. So, I 382 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,839 appreciate you pointing this out to us. 383 00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:31,680 I do think it should be noted. As 384 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,199 council member Wall said, I think that 385 00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:36,079 it should be factual, of course, but um 386 00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:37,519 I hope we don't do that again.

And so the idea 434 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,799 that an EV station can be parked in 6 7 435 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,240 8 hours where somebody's doing is uh uh 436 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,760 110 437 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,160 um for the day um I think is is absurd 438 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,880 and I'm all for shorting it.

I don't 472 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,480 know 473 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,600 >> what whatever it is in force char to be 474 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,720 used the charging station 475 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,600 >> proposed in the in the report is that 476 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,919 you would be allowed to continue parking 477 00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:08,320 while your car is receiving a charge. 478 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,919 >> Yeah. But some charges can take a whole 479 00:19:09,919 --> 00:19:11,600 night long. My car. 480 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,440 >> Yeah. Those aren't particularly fat 481 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:13,919 charges. 482 00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,919 >> It's a it's it's a 110 charge and it 483 00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:18,320 takes a long time to build up a lot of 484 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,360 charge. 485 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,520 >> I know that cuz I've been doing that. 486 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,760 And so if somebody's on that for 8 487 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,760 hours, it's taking 8 hours of parking 488 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,679 away. And it's a sort we should be 489 00:19:27,679 --> 00:19:30,240 saying 2 to 3 hours, maybe 3 hours 490 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,400 maximum, then we enforce um going going 491 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,280 someplace else to park. 492 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,520 >> So I think I mean I think it makes sense 493 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,600 if somebody's char using that as a 494 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,679 charger. They live around town and 495 00:19:43,679 --> 00:19:44,799 they're using that as one of their 496 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:46,320 primary chargers. I feel like it makes 497 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,000 sense to allow it as long as they're 498 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,520 actually using it. I think this is 499 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520 addressing a problem where people are 500 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,520 just parking their vehicle there, not 501 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,200 charging, and then leaving it for 8 502 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,919 hours. Um, 503 00:19:57,919 --> 00:20:00,080 I mean, if they're charging spots and 504 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,440 people are using them, we'll probably 505 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,559 actually the town will probably make 506 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:04,480 more money if we're allowing people to 507 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,880 get a full charge and charge for 8, 10, 508 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,160 12 hours at those spots versus if they 509 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,600 have to change every two hours, they're 510 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,120 probably not going to be very effective. 511 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:17,280 And I I personally wouldn't use them if 512 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,520 uh if I was set to some kind of limit 513 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,559 like that and I couldn't just leave my 514 00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:21,919 car and come back. 515 00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:23,360 >> Well, let's put this way. Would people 516 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,080 go down go and take trips if you stop at 517 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,480 uh uh any any place going down I five? 518 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,400 You only have an hour, maybe two hours 519 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,880 at most available as you're eating and 520 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,880 you're on the go again. I don't know why 521 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,360 we have to spend seven or eight hours 522 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,600 taking away some very precious parking 523 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,270 spaces. 524 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,760 » So, I think I mean I see those spaces as 525 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,760 a little bit different than a typical 526 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,720 parking space. Like I think um they they 527 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,400 are equipped with charging stations. I 528 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,000 think as long as a car is parked there 529 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,760 is being charged, I think that's a good 530 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,200 use of the spot. Um totally hear you. I 531 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,159 think there are definitely um moments 532 00:21:04,159 --> 00:21:06,720 around here, particularly here uh by 533 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,960 Independence Hall, where parking can be 534 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,840 challenging. Um so I think it's that's a 535 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,440 very valid um topic to to talk about. 536 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,360 But I think for the EV chargers, I'm 537 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:20,320 with Hassan. think like um you know I 538 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,120 own an EV and I think the etiquette um 539 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:27,520 at all of the charging stations that I have ever charged my car at is 540 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,520 that you're allowed to charge until your 541 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,240 car is charged and then you exit the the parking space so that you can allow 542 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,720 somebody else to charge their vehicle. 543 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,600 Um so I mean I think I'm totally 544 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600 comfortable with the way the item is 545 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,320 framed um in the packet um which is that 546 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,919 you know we will be taking action and 547 00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:47,760 enforcing putting up signs and then 548 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,520 enforcing 549 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,919 um you know to the extent somebody's not 550 00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:54,159 charging but I think it's important to 551 00:21:54,159 --> 00:21:55,760 allow somebody to continue to charge and 552 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,919 I think you know the the uh economic 553 00:21:57,919 --> 00:22:00,159 point is is important too right I think 554 00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:04,480 as you brought up I think the town was anticipating not making a huge 555 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,799 profit but um potenti 556 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:10,480 you know, incurring some um added uh 557 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,240 benefit in terms of money from these. 558 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,080 And I think if you're kicking people off 559 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,760 after 2 hours, that would that would go 560 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,039 against that goal as well. 561 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:21,280 >> If I may add a little more context to 562 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,360 this, um just recently stab observed 563 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,120 that there was an EV vehicle parked 564 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,919 there for almost 3 days um sitting in 565 00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:29,360 the spot and we're not sure if it's 566 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:30,799 charging or not, but this is kind of 567 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:32,320 addressing that kind of issue. 568 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,720 >> It was an EV vehicle. Yes, it was 569 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,919 plugged in, but it was there almost 570 00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:38,640 three days. 571 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,440 >> Question. Are you I you I imagine that 572 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,000 we're able to observe whether a car is 573 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,400 still charging by looking at the the um 574 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,240 infrastructure, right? Is that can you 575 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,320 observe that? 576 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,679 >> I need to go out there and take a look, 577 00:22:53,679 --> 00:22:55,520 but I believe you can look at the 578 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,919 charging um the booth itself and see if 579 00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:00,480 it's active or not.

They don't hook it in just to 584 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,840 hook it in. So I know that some chargers 585 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,000 um if you leave your car plugged in 586 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,840 after it's fully charged, it will charge 587 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480 you a fee like an and it's pretty high. 588 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,080 It can get pretty high. So I don't think 589 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,240 anyone would um but I don't know if 590 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,480 these specific chargers do that. Do you 591 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,880 have does anyone happen to know if they 592 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,640 do or or if they can't if we can reach 593 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,960 out to them to have them apply a fee if 594 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,159 people are leaving it plugged in 595 00:23:34,159 --> 00:23:37,120 overnight? Um because the other issue is 596 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:40,159 if you try to remove they usually lock 597 00:23:40,159 --> 00:23:41,840 into the vehicle. So then if you try to 598 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,240 remove it, you won't be able to. So then 599 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,760 you'd have to tow it or something. You'd 600 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,200 have to cut it. So then I guess the only 601 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,679 option would be a ticket. But 602 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:51,760 >> yeah, I I would look into that. I'm not 603 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,400 sure about um our setting our charges, 604 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,080 but I will look into that and find out. 605 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,280 >> Thank you. 606 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,440 >> And as as stated, I would support this 607 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,750 uh the language.

And the equestrian 794 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520 trail easements would have to be kept 795 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,399 clear of any buildings or structures and 796 00:31:24,399 --> 00:31:27,919 can be used only for equestrian uses. 797 00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,480 The planning commission found the 798 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,679 proposal to abandon the easement to be 799 00:31:33,679 --> 00:31:35,840 in conformance with the general plan and 800 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,360 municipal code. And if the town council 801 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,279 agrees and approves the draft draft 802 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:43,679 resolution, the easement will be removed 803 00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:45,360 from the properties and recorded with 804 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,440 the county.

The equestrian trail 883 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,599 easement would need to remain open and 884 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:17,599 clear, and such strips of land should be 885 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:20,079 for equestrian uses only. Please let me 886 00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:21,119 know if you have any additional 887 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,599 questions. Thank you. 888 00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:27,760 >> Okay.

I just I sent it to town hall so I assumed 891 00:35:35,119 --> 00:35:37,599 it would be part of this and I tried to 892 00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:39,040 send it so we have enough time to 893 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,960 respond but so thank you for responding. 894 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,400 Um how how wide So my questions are how 895 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,960 wide is the equestrian easement and um 896 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,960 the 897 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,680 you you um how wide is that equestrian 898 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,880 easement? And then the other part of my 899 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040 um and the in the packet there were some 900 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,960 color-coded easement maps. I found like 901 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,359 that found those were pretty helpful. Um 902 00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:06,800 so maybe the council would benefit if if 903 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Sarah could please display those. But my 904 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,720 big question was I'm curious with the 905 00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:16,480 removal of this um setback, does that 906 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,320 mean that potentially there could be 907 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,480 like the back of a shed so that you're 908 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,040 like going through an alley or a tunnel? 909 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,520 Um I'm just trying to understand what it 910 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,320 would feel like because the um the 911 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,560 trails committee was working on actually 912 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,480 opening you know like like looking at 913 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,079 the easements. There is a there is an 914 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:37,760 interest by the public and the trails 915 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160 committee to maintain these easements 916 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,440 and to allow passage. So it is really um 917 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,200 a desire of the public that we can um 918 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,520 use these. Um thank you very much. 919 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,480 >> Thank you. So, uh, 25 ft, uh, setback. 920 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,800 And how wide, uh, is the easement? 921 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,720 >> The easements, uh, you can see here on 922 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:01,920 lots, uh, 2, 3, 4, and part of five. 923 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,119 >> Um, it's 15 ft wide. And so that's 924 00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:07,200 typical of most easements within the 925 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,280 town of Woodside. I'm sorry, uh, 926 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,359 equestrian easements within the town of 927 00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:14,560 Woodside. Um, so the same 928 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,720 >> things would apply to this lot as with 929 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:18,320 any other lot that has an equestrian 930 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,000 easement on it. they need to stay out of 931 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,960 the equestrian easement. Um, sometimes 932 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,800 property owners propose fences along 933 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,359 equestrian trail easements. Um, we see 934 00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:31,200 that throughout town. Um, there in terms 935 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,960 of creating like structures all the way 936 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,520 across, I mean, look at ADU standards. 937 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,520 They can be closed or they still cannot 938 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,920 be in an equestrian trail easement. So, 939 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,280 that will just make that very clear. Um, 940 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,560 and we do, you know, we have sometimes 941 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,320 people look at things like tennis courts 942 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,920 and when we have stuff like that, we do 943 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,760 bring it to the trails committee to get 944 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,480 their input. Um, and then to finish off 945 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,520 the width, if you see there on the what 946 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,440 I'll say kind of the right side, it's 947 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,560 like the um the quest actually opens up 948 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,560 to 45 ft on that property. So, um, I'm 949 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,400 not exactly sure why it got widened, but 950 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,599 sometimes I think it gets a little 951 00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:11,599 steeper there. So there might have been 952 00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:13,680 some thought of kind of some switch back 953 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,839 of a trail or something. Um but that 954 00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:18,000 also that 45 ft would also remain in 955 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,839 place as well and be treated the same as 956 00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:22,240 all other equestrian easements in town. 957 00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:26,720 >> Okay. And so on that property to Miss 958 00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,760 Hansen's point it's the setback's 25 ft 959 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,040 but the easement is 40 45. Uh so that 960 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,160 line would be the 961 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,960 >> yeah the 45 ft would be the the more 962 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,560 restrictive and that would be applied. 963 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:40,800 Okay. 964 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,560 >> Um but it would get rid of that yellow 965 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,040 line which is the 100 foot. 966 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,119 >> Okay. 967 00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:49,680 Thank you. 968 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,480 Any other comments from the public?
