A big celebration is planned for the night of Friday, May 30, which will take place in Shoreline Park and on Main Street. Both Main Street and Paradise Drive will be closed to traffic at some point in the afternoon that day to allow the set up for the many activities planned. These include live music from several bands, jump houses for children, and food and drink vendors including food trucks on Paradise Drive. One of the big attractions of the evening will be fireworks at nightfall, a huge 20- minute show shot from a barge 1,000 feet off shore. Your homes will all have ringside seats for this event! Of course, a large event like this will be a lot of fun for all who attend, and we hope that includes you, but it will also mean some inconvenience and noise. Music will run late that night, particularly on Main Street where the band, the first rate Carlos Reyes Band, will play until midnight for some dancing in the street. Road closures and detours are also part of the inconvenience, as will be the heavy traffic that is likely to be associated with the comings and goings of attendees. We are doing what we can to discourage driving to the event. Free secure bike parking will be available for cyclists, and transit shuttles and ferries will be running later than usual that night- We apologize in advance for the inconvenience this may cause. If this is not your sort of thing, you may choose to be away altogether that evening. We promise to do our best to manage the situation Meanwhile, we beg your indulgence and tolerance for this very special celebration of 50 great years as a Town. My hope is that most of you find it totally enjoyable and a fete worthy of the occasion.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Commissioner Kulik recused himself from participating on Item 1 and left the meeting. 1. 2344/2346 MAR EAST STREET: TENTATIVE: SUBDIVISION MAP; APPLICATION TO CONVERT AN EXISTING DUPLES INTO TWO CONDOMINIUM UNITS; File #61301; Bruce Thompson, Angelina Umanski and Lawrence Bradford, Owners; Assessor's Parcel Number 059 - 195 -11 Planning Manager Watrous gave the staff report and said that on March 13, 2013, the Planning Commission approved an application for a condominium use permit to convert the two units located in the existing attached two - family dwelling located at 2344 and 2346 Mar East Street to condominium ownership. The applicants are now applying for the tentative subdivision map approval for condominium ownership for the subdivision. The condominium conversion does not propose any square footage additions to the existing buildings, although a substantial upgrading of the structures to meet current building and safety codes would be required as conditions of the conversion process should it move forward to completion. He recommended approval of the tentative map application. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES -APRIL 9, 2014 - MINUTES NO. 1043 PAGE I Lawrence Bradford, applicant, deferred to questions of the Commission. The Commissioners had no questions. Chair Weller opened the public hearing and, as there were no comments, closed the hearing. Commissioner Corcoran said that the Planning Commission previously weighed the various issues relative to approving the condominiums at this location and found it was compatible with the neighborhood, zoning code and General Plan, and he voiced support for the application. Commissioner Welner said that the application made sense and he supported the approval. ACTION: It was MIS (Corcoran/Welner) to adopt the draft resolution conditionally granting conditional approval of the tentative map application. Motion carried: 3 -0 -1 ( Kulik recused). Commissioner Kulik returned to the meeting. 2. 55 MONTEREY DRIVE: REQUEST TO AMEND THE CYPRESS HOLLOW PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (PD #45) TO CREATE A NEW SECONDARY BUILDING ENVELOPE; File #31402; Sarnia and Derek Robson, Owners; Silas Edman, Jr., Applicant; Assessor's Parcel No. 034 - 395 -03 Assistant Planner O'Malley gave the staff report, and said the project was for an amendment to the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan for property located at 55 Monterey Drive. The applicant proposes to establish a secondary building envelope for the property for the purposes of installing a swimming pool and pool equipment. The property is surrounded by existing single family dwellings as well as open space. There will be no changes to the primary building envelope, and the secondary building envelope will be outside the open space easement and will be screened by existing vegetation and fencing. However, staff does recommend the secondary building envelope be limited to the swimming pool and pool equipment. Staff also finds that the project is consistent with the General Plan and the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan, and recommends that the Planning Commission hold the public hearing and adopt the draft resolution recommending approval to the Town Council. Silas Edman, Jr., applicant, said that he represented the owner and was available to answer questions. Chair Weller asked where the pool equipment for the pool would be located. Mr. Edman said they will locate the equipment within the existing building envelope on the side of the house. Chair Weller asked and confirmed that a 4' x 8' low structure would house the equipment and very low decibel level pumps will be used. Commissioner Kulik asked Mr. Edman to discuss soil and slope issues with the proposed pool. Mr. Edman said that they will hire a soils engineer and the retaining wall will be very low. He said that they intend to replicate the existing conditions of the site. Chair Weller opened the public hearing and, as there were no comments, closed the hearing. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 9, 2014 - MINUTES NO. 1043 PAGE 2 Commissioner Corcoran said that the proposal seemed reasonable and it would not have an impact on privacy of the neighbors. He supported staff's suggestion of an additional condition limiting what is allowed in the secondary envelope. He noted that the property backs up to private open space which adds an additional buffer and he voiced his support of the request. Commissioner Kulik said that he visited the site and agreed with Commissioner Corcoran. He felt that from a noise and intrusiveness point of view, this would be an improvement over the current situation by replacing the hot tub with a pool, which would be a slightly more intensive but less frequent use. He referred to the site line from the unincorporated part of Marin County and asked and confirmed with Mr. Watrous that the Town circulated the project to County homeowners for review. He thought that planting vegetation was a good idea and he suggested a stipulation that the pool equipment should be placed on the westerly side of the house. He believed that the request was reasonable and he supported its approval. Commissioner Welner agreed that the proposal was modest and would not impact the neighborhood. He said that his only concern with precise plan amendments is whether or not there are neighbor concerns or whether the proposed amendments are inconsistent with any key elements protected by the initial precise plan. He said that there were no complaints from neighbors or issues raised by staff, so he could support the proposal. Chair Weller concurred with fellow Commissioners. He said that his perspective was that this would be a conversion of one outdoor use to another which would not create any additional intensity of use or effect on neighbors. He supported the addition of a condition to locate the pool equipment on the westerly side of the house. ACTION: It was M/S /C (Kulik/Corcoran) to adopt the draft resolution recommending approval of the amendment to the Cypress Hollow Precise Development Plan to the Town Council, as modified with the additional condition of approval that the pool equipment shall be located within the existing building envelope on the west side of the house. Motion carried: 4 -0. MINUTES: 3. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES — Regular Meeting of March 26, 2014 ACTION: It was M/S (Welner /Corcoran) to approve the minutes of the March 26, 2014 meeting, as submitted. Motion carried: 4 -0.
