RESOLUTION NO. 3402
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TffiURON
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO
THE CYPRESS HOLLOW PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PD #45)
TO ALLOW INCREASED FLOOR AREA
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 70 MONTEREY DRIVE
ASSESSOR PARCEL NO. 34-394-07
WHEREAS, on December 8, 1999, and January 12, 2000 the Planning Commission held
public hearings to consider the approval of an amendment to the Cypress Hollow Precise
Development Plan to increase the maximum floor area pennitted for the property located at 70
Monterey Drive, proposed by Deborah Aranoff Strull and William Marc Strull ("Applicants"), the
owners of the property developed with an existing single-family residence at this location; and
WHEREAS, after receiving public testimony and considering the application, the
Commission detennined that the proposed amendment would allow the expansion of the existing
single-family home without increasing the visual mass and bulk of the homes and would not result
in a dramatic increase beyond the originally approved floor area limits for this residence, and was
"'" therefore consistent with the relevant policies of both the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance and the
Tiburon General Plan; and
WHEREAS, on January 12, 2000, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
2000-01 recommending to the Town Council that the Precise Plan Amendment be approved; and
WHEREAS, on February 16, 2000, after hearing all testimony and reviewing all
documents on the record, including the plans modified as recommended by the Planning
Commission, the Town Council concurred with the findings made by the Planning Commission,
and found that the proposed Precise Plan Amendment would be consistent with the Town Zoning
regulations and the Tiburon General Plan. 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 pennitted by the Cypress Hollow Precise
Development Plan, as the addition would exceed the current maximum floor area
ratio by only 270 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.

3. The application would add a playroom and office to the existing house, and would
not include any bedrooms, and would therefore be less likely to encourage more
residents within the house, increase the possibility of its use as a second dwelling
unit, 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.
After acknowledging these factors, the Town Council then directed Staff to prepare a revised
resolution of approval for this project.
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 70 Monterey Drive, subject
to the following conditions:
"'"

Drive) if attained entirelv within undeveloped space within the existing mass and
bulk of the aooroved house. as generallv deoicted on drawings dated 10/1/99.
