The Town recently received an application from A &C Ventures to demolish the existing building at 1694 -1696 Tiburon Boulevard (currently occupied by the New Morning Cafe and the Grass Shack) and construct a new 3 -story building in its place. The application is not unexpected, as the prior owner (Main Street Properties) had submitted a somewhat similar application immediately prior to selling the site a few years ago to A & C Ventures. The new building is proposed to contain a restaurant (possibly the New Morning Cafe) and a small retail space on the ground floor; one 1- bedroom and one 2- bedroom apartment on the second floor, and one 2- bedroom apartment on the third floor. The proposed height of the building is 38 feet. Staff is currently reviewing the application for completeness and preliminarily assessing the potential environmental effects that might result from the project. The project requires issuance of a conditional use permit from the Planning Commission, followed by Site Plan and Architectural Review by the Design Review Board and eventually building permits. Application materials are available for review at the Planning Division in Town Hall.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b), we respectfully request your review of this draft Housing Element. We are grateful for early guidance provided by Robin Huntley, who assisted the Town in identifying sites to fulfill the requirements of Program H -y (e) of the current Housing Element. This program required the Town to identify an alternate site(s) if the Reed School District Site could not be developed with housing during the previous planning period. The Town recently rezoned two parcels in the Downtown area for inclusion in the Town's Affordable Housing Overlay zone, which allows housing development at a density appropriate for lower- income units. These two sites have a combined realistic capacity of 29 units. The Town now has available sites to accommodate 61 units of lower- income housing, exceeding both the 2007 -2014 RHNA requirements of 57 lower - income units and the 2014 -2022 RHNA requirement of 40 lower - income units. On August 7, 2013, Ms. Huntley confirmed that the Town is eligible for a streamlined review for the draft Housing Element. Therefore, the attached draft Housing Element has been formatted in a manner to assist your streamlined processing. Text revisions are shown in strikethrough and delete format, except where an entire section has been revised. In that case, the heading has been highlighted in yellow to indicate that everything that follows in that section has been revised. Tables that were revised are indicated by either a highlighted heading or a yellow shadow. In addition to the draft Housing Element, we are submitting completed HCD forms for the Implementation Review, the Housing Element Completeness Checklist, the Housing Element Streamlined Update Template, and copy of the ordinance rezoning the properties. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at (415) 435 -7392 or sanderson@townoftibtiron.org.

(if TIBURON RESIDENT: (Years) 39 DATE SUBMITTED: s REASONS FOR SELECTING YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST" I have been a long time advocate for seniors both on local and national non profit boards of directors for affordable senior housing ,the Alzheimer's Association and the Eldercare Alliance. Marin has one of the fastest aging populations in the nation I am looking to increase the awareness of the issues that seniors in our area face and to work to make their lives safer and more enriched. I was caregiver for my mother for 12 years while she suffered through Alzheimer's Disease, navigating the many resources needed for her. By having that experience I realized that it cannot be done alone and have spent many hours helping friends do the same. I have facilitated support groups for caregivers and skilled nursing staff, lobbied in D. C. and Sacramento for increased funds to support patients and research for Alzheimer's Disease as well as for affordable, service enriched senior housing. Many people do not even know the services available to them or even how to access them; hopefully by working with the Commission on Aging I can help seniors through their options as well as preserve existing programs and create new resources to enrich their lives.

I ' If:311 W.I- W.\,W[KII"4 0 Wo WAWA 1111.110 OW 1. 1 BENTON COURT: File No. 21407; Daniel Morgan, Owner; Site Plan and Architectural Review to legalize as -built construction of a retaining wall for an existing single - family dwelling, with a Variance for excess wall height. The existing retaining wall is situated on the right side of a driveway leading from Benton Court. The wall has a maximum height of 9 feet, which is greater than the maximum allowable wall height of 6 feet. Assessor's Parcel No. 039 - 011 -12. On May 17, 2012, the Design Review Board approved a Site Plan and Architectural Review application (File #712020) for construction of a new single - family dwelling on this property, with a floor area exception. The project included a driveway leading from Benton Court to a new garage that was to be excavated into slope of the property at roughly the same elevation as the street. The approved plans indicated the construction of concrete retaining walls on both sides of the driveway that would rise in height as the walls approached the garage, but would have a maximum height of 6 feet within the required front yard setback. In early 2014, Planning Division staff inspected the house on the site prior to final approval of the building.permit for the project. At that time, staff discovered that the retaining walls on the right side of the driveway exceeded 6 feet in height. The applicant has applied for a variance for excess wall height. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES 97 4/17/14 Jared Polsky, architect, stated that the previous drawings included a retaining wall and trash enclosure and during construction they discovered that the rear of the enclosure needed to be higher than 6 feet tall and therefore requires a variance. He said that they did not change their design or added this as a later revision, but instead it was overlooked at the time of their application. He stated that even though the wall is more than 6 feet tall, it does not look different than they originally planned. There were no public comments Vice Chair Cousins said that he visited the site and thought that the retaining wall against'the house looked fine and has the appearance of a smaller wall. Boardmember Emberson said that it was too bad that proper measurements were not taken earlier. She said that if there was an easy way to bring down the height she would suggest it, but since it has already been built that is difficult. She stated that she had difficulty making a hardship finding since it is a self - created hardship. Boardmember Tollini said that it is frustrating that this was an omission from the previous application. He felt that even if this was not already built, the driveway height is already set and there would have been no way to build the wall differently. He said that there was a hardship in that it would require a lot of work to build separate footings for a separate wall. He supported the application and said that he can make the required findings. Boardmember Kricensky stated that the applicant was responsible for understanding the codes and should have known about this at the time the previous application was submitted. He felt that it was therefore a self-inflicted hardship and that the codes are there for a reason. He believed that the gates help but he would prefer if the wall on the right side sloped with the grade from 6 feet to 8 feet, as the gates effectively create a 6 foot height in the front. He suggested that they could cut down the wall and put in plantings similar to what is on the other side of the driveway. Vice Chair Cousins described the wall nearest the house as an extension of the house rather than a high retaining wall, and he felt that it would be very difficult to lower it. If they had known this at the time of the application he feels there would still be a need for the high wall at the back because of the site and space limitations. Chair Chong agreed and stated that he believed that if this was part of the original application they would have found a hardship and approved the variance. Boardmember Kricensky suggested following the contour of the ground by sloping the retaining wall or stepping down to reduce the height at the end of the wall. He reviewed this idea with the applicant and the architect, and they agreed that it can be done. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #7 2 4/17/14 ACTION: It was M/S (Cousins/Emberson) that the request for 1 Benton Court is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached conditions of approval, and the additional condition of approval that the return wall on the right side of the trash enclosure perpendicular to the driveway shall be reduced in height to slope or step from the height of the front gate to the height behind. Vote: 5 -0. 2. 110 TAYLOR ROAD: File No. 714025; James Rottmayer and Sheila Mutter, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a new single - family dwelling. The proposed two -story home would include an entry foyer, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, play room, storage, and a 637 square foot garage on lower level, and dining room, kitchen, family room, laundry room, guest room, guest bathroom, powder room, and master bedroom suite on the main level. The project would increase the floor area to 4,819 square feet and increase the lot coverage to 4,065 square feet (9.3 %) of the site. Assessor's Parcel No. 038 - 071 -04. The applicant is requesting design review approval for the construction of a new single - family dwelling on property located at 110 Taylor Road. The property is currently developed with a single - family dwelling. The proposed 4,819 square foot two -story home would include an entry foyer, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, play room, storage, and a 637 square foot garage on lower level, and dining room, kitchen, family room, laundry room, guest room, guest bathroom, powder room, and master bedroom suite on the main level. A large deck would extend off the living room and small deck off the entry in the front of the home to provide outdoor living spaces. Nine new skylights would be installed throughout the roof. Three water tanks and a sump pump would be installed near the garage and another sump pump and an AC unit would be installed on the north side of the house. A six foot tall wood and wire deer fence would remain on the west and north side of the property with a continuance of a new six foot fence on the south side and north side of the property. The majority of the property would be landscaped with a mixture of the existing natural grasses with new small trees and shrubs around the new home, lawn, and patio area. A few existing trees throughout the property would be removed, including the existing large cedar tree near the existing driveway. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 4,856 square feet, which is below the maximum permitted gross floor area for the property (6,356 square feet). The proposal would result in lot coverage of 4,065 square feet (9.3 %), which is below the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot coverage in the RO -1 zone. Jim Rottmayer, owner, said they recently purchased the property and plan to demolish the existing home and build a new 4,819 square foot home on the site. He said that they would step the house back into the property and have a significant amount of glass in the foyer area in front for the view. He said that the stepped design would minimize how much they need to dig and preserves the site. He said that much of the landscape plan includes natural grasses and vegetation. He said that they proposed to install three 1,000 gallon tanks for watering which would be hidden from view. He said that the colors and materials were chosen for a neutral color TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #7 3 4/17/14 scheme that would blend into the hillside. He said that he met some of the neighbors and they have had some feedback regarding the existing trees on the lot, with some requesting pruning or removal and others wanting to preserve the trees. He said that he would like to remove some trees because some are diseased and also because they affect his view and he would like to keep the cluster of cypress trees if allowed by the fire district. The public hearing was opened. James Wilson stated that he believes that the oak trees along Bamer Lane are important to maintain, but there are some Monterey pines that are diseased and ready to go. He said that Bamer Lane has a "country" feel that he would like to see maintained by protecting the oak trees. He also requested that construction vehicles not park on Barner Lane because it is only 12 feet wide and has very limited parking. Sam Miller said that he met with the owner yesterday and discussed some issues. He was concerned about the roofing material because the plans are currently unclear. He noted that the staff report says that the roof would be tar and gravel, but the owner said that it was going to be dark vinyl on one side and tar and gravel on the other. He wanted to know what the roof materials would be because their principal view is over the top of that roof. Belle Guelden stated that she was concerned that the removal of trees would affect owls that currently live in them. She would like to see all five cypress trees remain if at all possible. She said that there is nothing to guarantee the trees will stay intact during construction and she would like to see all five therefore remain to maintain the owl habitat if at all possible. Steve Jakosa said that he talked to the applicant regarding a common fence between his property and the applicant's that is not on the property. He said that he had the same issues with trees in his view that he would like removed and the owner was agreed to do so. He asked about the water collection system and was concerned about whether it would be mosquito -proof and whether the quality of the water would be affected by the system. Mr. Rottmayer said that he was happy to discuss any trees that Mr. Jakosa thought needed to be removed on that side but his plan was mainly to clean up the trees and prune them and there was no intention of removing the oak trees on Bamer Lane. He clarified the roof materials and said that the main material would be tar and gravel, with a different coating to be used in the areas where the solar panels would be installed. He said that he would use a grey gravel to match the house. He explained that the water collection system would provide enough water to irrigate the entire landscape. He said that the PVC tanks would be a closed system, with no air or place where mosquitoes could enter. Chair Chong asked about the location of owls. Mr. Rottmayer said that he had not seen an actual nest but was willing to put in some owl boxes. Vice Chair Cousins asked about the skylights. Mr. Rottmayer said that they would be flat and typical of what is seen around Tiburon. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #7 4 4/17/14 The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Kricensky stated that the house was a good design that would fit into the land contours fairly well and step back into it. He said that he could not find any issues with the design itself and he liked the color selection and felt that it would blend in with the hillside. He noted that the skylights would be flat and tinted with dark frames. He thought that the trees were an issue and he felt that the Barner Road trees should be addressed in a condition of approval. Planning Manager Watrous clarified that any oak trees or trees with circumference greater than 60 inches must be explicitly stated to be removed in the plans or must have a separate tree permit to be removed. He stated that the oaks on Barner Lane are not permitted to be removed because there is no statement asking for their removal in the plans. Boardmember Kricensky said that the water system was a good idea for irrigation and supported the project. Boardmember Tollini agreed with Boardmember Kricensky. He thought that the skylights were quite modest for the size of the roof and he believed that the amount of light emitting would be modest. He was not concerned with the cisterns for irrigation as they would be well concealed, not visible and a closed system. He stated that the oak trees on Bamer Lane did not need to be addressed because there was no request to remove them in the submitted plans. He felt that the removal of owl habitat would be relatively modest and noted the applicant's agreement to put up owl boxes. He believed that this would be a great replacement of the existing house on the property and a great addition to the neighborhood. Boardmember Emberson said that she was impressed with the applicant and felt that he was bending over backwards to be open and transparent in the process. She was also impressed with the landscape system, especially considering the current drought, and said that the minimal landscaping was not often seen and she appreciated it. She loved the color board and believed that it would be a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. She noted that the house did not achieve the maximum amount of floor area and would step into the site per the Hillside Design Guidelines. Vice Chair Cousins agreed with the points made by the other Boardmembers. Chair Chong agreed and said that he appreciated the design and the work the owner has done. He said that it was a beautiful project that preserves trees and has a nice design. He thought that the owl boxes would be a good addition. He believed that the roof would blend in well with the wooded setting and not have much impact on the neighbors. ACTION: It was M/S (Tollini /Cousins) that the request for 110 Taylor Road is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached conditions of approval, and the additional condition of approval requiring that two owl boxes be added in locations on the property at the applicant's discretion.

He asked that the Commission place this item on its next agenda. The Commission agreed to place the item on its May 20, 2014 regular meeting agenda for discussion.

COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING • Director Anderson stated that the Interim McKegney Green Use Policy had been finalized and previously distributed to Commissioners, and was in effect for the remainder of calendar year 2014. • There were no Subcommittee Reports. Tiburon Parks, Open Space & Trails Commission Minutes DRAFT Apri130, 2014 Page I The Commission took a brief break and reconvened at 6:15 PM. Commissioner McMullen arrived. BUSINESS ITEMS 1. Old Rail Trail Adjacent to 500 Tiburon Boulevard; File #T14 -14; Referral for Comment and Recommendations Regarding a Tree Removal Permit Application filed by the Reed Heights Tree Committee to Remove Eleven Eucalyptus Trees from Town Property located directly upslope from the Richardson Bay Sanitary District Headquarters. Commissioner Feldman recused himself from participation for the remainder of the meeting as he owns property within 500 feet of the subject parcels, and left the podium. • Planning Manager Watrous presented the staff report. • Tristan Stringer stated that the subject trees were dangerous, do not provide substantial screening and would be replaced with mature trees and shrubs paid for by the applicants. • Becky Pringle described numerous problems associated with Eucalyptus trees. • Lee Darby described the existing trees and the proposed replacement vegetation and why topping the trees would be inappropriate. • Margarita Perry noted that the Richardson Bay Sanitary District support this request and said that it would cost $8,000 to remove the trees and $3,450 to plant the replacement vegetation. • Harvey Rogers agreed with the applicants and said that the replacement plantings would provide better coverage and use less water. • John Kern described his experience with Eucalyptus trees as part of Town and Romberg Center projects and encouraged the Town to take aggressive action to remove as many of these trees as possible. • Lisa Klairmont said that there was no reason to deny the permit. • Petey Stein stated that this was a good time to do this project and commended the homeowners on doing their homework. • Vice Chair McMullen said that he was impressed with the presentation and agreed that trimming the Eucalyptus trees would not work. He said that the trees provide nominal benefit and he supported their removal. • Commissioner Park supported the request. • Chairman Winkler said that he did not like Eucalyptus trees and thought that the application made sense. • The Commission voted 3 -0 to recommend staff approval of the tree permit application.

McKegney Green Use and Management Policy: Receive Recommendation from Ad -hoc Committee Regarding Adoption of a Permanent Policy for the Use and Management of McKegney Green; Consider Recommendation of Policy Adoption to the Town Council (continued from November 19, 2013) • Director Anderson presented the staff report. • Ad -hoc Committee member and Vice -Chair McMullen provided the ad -hoc Committee report to supplement the staff report, and stated that the Committee had met subsequent to the last Commission meeting, determined that there was insufficient information to establish a truly cost - recovery- based hourly rate at this time; recommended an hourly rate at the low end of the spectrum for southern Marin municipalities, and urged forwarding the policy to the Town Council for adoption. He noted data would be generated over the next year for a comprehensive policy review in 2015, but that the policy needed to be adopted this year for a number of reasons such that it could go into effect in 2015. • Mark Minturn, Tiburon Peninsula Soccer Club (TPSC), stated that the most serious concern with the proposed policy was the cost increase to the Club. The proposed hourly rate, while reduced over previous versions, would still constitute a cost increase. He suggested that a fixed -fee arrangement be considered for TPSC. He also believed that the "refund" provisions of the policy were unfair to recurring users such as TPSC. • Mike Stevens, representing Southern Marin Lacrosse (SML), expressed concern about possible mixed use of the field. He said the lacrosse league was growing quickly, that the Baptist Seminary property was being sold and the future of the field there was uncertain, and that McKegney Green was likely to be very much needed in the lacrosse league next year. • Director Anderson explained why the fixed fee approach was not suited to a multiple user field rental system, as was used by other Marin municipalities, and that the refund policy was very similar for recurring and non - recurring users and that recurring users had multiple opportunities to make up any cancelled times whereas one -time renters did not. • Kim Stibich, TPSC, requested more flexibility in the policy to address limited use after heavy rains and to address refunds and /or rescheduling when extended rain -out periods are experienced by recurring users. • The Commission directed Staff to make revisions to the policy to provide that flexibility. • The Commission discussed the issues raised and reached consensus that the changes to the policy were adequate for initial launch of the policy, and that the review period in summer 2015 would offer an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments. • The Commission voted 3 -0 on a motion to recommend approval of the McKegney Green Policy to the Town Council, with amendments to the last bullet point of Section 6 substituting "should" for shall" and to Section 10 adding a sentence to subsection (b) allowing flexibility to grant credit for refunds or rescheduling in the event of extended rainout periods.
