    Planning Director Lee Bowman

    Retiring planner leaves a legacy of green hills and historic preservation


    Lee Bowman will retire as Los Gatos' planning director at the end of this month, and has agreed to consult with the town for six more months. For more than 25 years, the town's planning director has sublimated his own views to carry out the policies of the town. His job is to know the ins and outs of the planning process and to advise policy makers what they can and can't do--based on existing policies. But while Bowman is a behind-the-scenes planning director, his influence can't be denied in such key areas as historic preservation, the below-market price housing program and restrictions on hillside development.   More
