the area with the traffic and no benefits from infrastructure. In that case, he decided to support the annexation. In addition, after learning about possible Measure D impacts, he was even more in support of the annexation. Past experience with the County has been "benign neglect", but passage of Measure D could provide high density housing with "benign neglect". The only sensible course of action is to support annexation to protect what the residents currently have. He felt Council sincerely cares about mitigating traffic and would try in good faith to get Mr. Spotomo to allow his flat land to be used for a construction road and thereby spare the residents of Happy Valley from the traffic. He described his proposal for the interim bypass road and said it only impacts .3 mile of Alisal and only eleven properties. Seven homes of those properties are fifty feet from the edge of the street and two of the remaining four are forty feet from the road edge. That leaves two homes about thirty feet from the edge of Alisal Street that would be significantly impacted by his proposed route. He felt his proposal would significantly reduce impacts on Happy Valley Road, Sycamore and Alisal, except for .3 mile. He urged Council to offer the ten residents on Alisal reimbursement for their on-site sewer and water costs. Perhaps Mr. Spotomo may pay the costs in exchange for being allowed to have homes on his flat land that access Alisal, instead of going all the way around the Spotomo hill as required by the Specific Plan. Perhaps he could submit a plan for just the flat land. He announced the date for the community debate on annexation is April 11 and he will send a newsletter to all including Council. No action was required to be taken by Council. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL Mayor Pico referred to the earlier request for some kind of award in memory of Joe DeTata and asked if there was interest on Council to do that.
