LOT ADJUSTMENT APPEAL SHOT DOWN AFTER DEVELOPER PRODUCES MAP FROM 1927 Homeowner says taxpayers would be responsible for new road Drew Penner, Reporter
The Los Gatos Town Council rejected an appeal by a neighbor opposed to a proposed lot adjustment on a Los Robles Way property. Following a bit of back-andforth with Town Attorney Gabrielle Whelan about the 17200 Los Robles Way site—and after the developer produced an old subdivision map with a prospective road already foreseen— Council denied the appeal. “This has been an ongoing struggle in our community,” said neighbor Alison Steer, the appellant, at the Dec. 19 meeting. “All the sudden you’re going to create a new public right-of-way, which is going to be paid for by the Town of Los Gatos taxpayer.
