Mayor Hosterman concurred with Council's comments. She noted that it is important to maintain the integrity of the North Sycamore Specific Plan. Keeping the three trails in mind, these neighborhoods were designed with many cul-de-sacs so that they connect so that the children would have an opportunity to play with their neighbors and to walk to the store without having to access Sunol Boulevard. She pointed out that the proposed sidewalk connection presents a safety issue and believed it is important to design it in such a way that kids are allowed to access it with their bicycles, but not given full opportunity to going flying through the entire length of the trail. She wanted to encourage pedestrian use and allow bicycles to at least get through the trail. It was moved by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to adopt Resolution 05-015, a resolution denying the modification of the North Sycamore Specific Plan to eliminate a public sidewalk connection between Sycamore Terrace and San Carlos Way, as filed under Case PSP-8. Mr. Brozosky asked if the ADA findings needed to be addressed in the motion. Mr. Roush said that Council had taken action on the PUD because the PUD as staff recommended it, included the trail. He noted that staff would draft appropriate conditions of approval to incorporate it in the PUD plan. The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, and Mayor Hosterman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Mr. Brozosk'y noted that there seemed to be a requirement that a deed restriction was included on the second unit. He thought that this would be addressed through a City ordinance for secondary units. Mr. Iserson said the City has certain rights, even according to State law, and these deed restrictions are referred to in the City's current Zoning Ordinance.
