hearing, reviewed revised plans for the project, and heard additional public testimony regarding

.-J'. WHEREAS, after hearing all testimony and reviewing all documents in the record, the
Town Council determined that the Design Review Board appropriately interpreted Section
2.05.01 of the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance in the review of this application, as the sloping site
terrain, th~ narrowness of the lot, and the access available from two different streets are physical
considerations that justify the construction of a detached two-family dwelling, as such a design
would result in reduced mass and bulk and visual impacts on neighboring residences.
WHEREAS, based on the above findings, the Council voted 3-2 (Councilmembers
Fredericks and Slavitz opposed) to deny the appeal by the Appellants and uphold the Design
Review Board's approval of the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
memorializes that the appeal of Wallace and Susan Quinn was denied on November 20, 2002, as
set forth in this resolution.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council on December 4,
