The Town Council further noted that the following special circumstances were considered in the approval of this request: 1. The additional floor area requested by this application would not significantly exceed the maximum floor area currently permitted by the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan, as the addition would exceed the current maximum floor area ratio by only 420 square feet. 2. The proposed addition would be located within the existing walls of the house, and would not result in any increase in mass and bulk to the existing residence which could impact nearby property owners. -- Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 3408 3/15/00 1 , ,-- 3. The application would add a bedroom and bathroom to the existing two-bedroom house, and would therefore be less likely to encourage more residents than an normal house, or increase the intensity of use of the residence. 4. The proposed request has been evaluated by the potentially affected neighboring property owners, who have raised no objections to this application. 5. The request would require no additional excavation on the site, as the area beneath the existing garage have already been excavated to the level required to accommodate the proposed addition. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does hereby approve of the increase in the maximum floor area established by the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan for the property located at 170 Rancho Drive, subject to the following conditions: 1.
