DIGEST
Subject: Memorandum of Understanding between the Town and the Martha Company
In 2009, the Town and the Martha Company entered into a settlement agreement of litigation
challenging the Town Council's ordinance pre -zoning of the Martha Company's property on the
Tiburon peninsula ( "MOU") and the negative declaration adopted for that ordinance. The MOU
also endorsed, with significant conditions, a 32 -unit project on the Martha property.
One of the MOU's key conditions was that the County of Marin, upon certifying the EIR for the
project, identify the MOU project as the environmentally superior alternative. The County Board
of Supervisors considered the EIR last March. The Board decided the EIR raised too many
uncertainties with respect to the impacts of the proposed water tank construction and
corresponding fire flow, domestic water pressure, protection of endangered species and other
issues. The Board said that before they could certify the EIR, they needed more specifics
regarding the project, including any conditions that MMWD and the Tiburon Fire District might
impose. The Board decided that they would consider certifying the EIR in tandem with a
decision on the project merits, when this additional information would be available.
The MOU provided that it would expire on June 30, 2010, unless the County and Martha had
signed a development agreement for the MOU project by that date. The Town and Martha have
agreed to several extensions, the most recent of which will expire on December 31, 2014. At this
time, the Martha Company has decided not to seek another extension of the MOU deadline. I
believe that this decision reflects an acknowledgment that the water tank, fire flow and other
issues will require a project redesign, which essentially renders the MOU moot. I note that the
MOU's expiration does not require any immediate action by the Town.

DIGEST
To: Tiburon Town Council
From: Commissioner Fran Wilson
Marin County Commission on Aging
October 2014
First, I want to thank the Council for appointing me in June as the representative from
Tiburon to the Marin County Commission on Aging for a three year term. The
Commission as a whole reports to and advises the Marin County Board of Supervisors
and locally, I report to you.
As you know, this is an area of interest to us all in Marin as we have the highest
percentage of seniors in any California county but more importantly, after Belvedere, we
are tied for third place with Larkspur and Sausalito in Marin.
Since June I have attended four full commission meetings plus numerous presentations,
subcommittee meetings, an orientation and a retreat to get familiar with the commission
members, staff and the work we do.
While all meetings are open to the public, I particularly want to invite you to the next full
commission meeting we are hosting right here in Town Hall on Thursday, November 13u
from 10am -12:30 pm.
The opening presentation will be by a representative of the Health Insurance Counseling
and Advocacy Program (HICAP). Attached is a separate page outlining what they do but
I want to emphasize a few important points:
1. This is a free service. They do NOT sell anything.
2. This is a state program to provide Medicare beneficiaries and those over 60 with
assistance in dealing with ALL types of insurance issues.
3. They do NOT make decisions; they counsel and advise.
The presentation is an overview with an opportunity for general questions. Personal
appointments for free counseling can be made by calling the Senior Advocacy Services at
707 -526 -4108.
If you have any questions or need more information please email: ffiwilfly@gmail.com
or call 415 -789 -8945.
Thank you again for the appointment and your time.

MEMORANDUM
................... ............................... -38
TO: Mayor & Members of the Town Council
FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Complete Streets Policies in the Circulation Element
DATE: October 8, 2014
The Town's Circulation Element of the General Plan is currently undergoing a comprehensive
update, for which the Town has retained the firm of Nelson /Nygaard as a consultant. As part
of the effort (and as required by state law), the new element must incorporate "Complete
Streets" policies and concepts.
At the time the Town Council approved the contract with Nelson /Nygaard, the question arose
as to whether the Circulation Element update would be completed in time to meet the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) deadline of January 2015 for having Complete
Streets policies incorporated into the Circulation Element. Staff indicated that the Complete
Streets portion of the work was severable from the remainder of the work, and if the need
arose, that portion would be taken through the adoption process separately in time to meet the
MTC deadline that would ensure eligibility for OBAG street funds.
It is now clear that the comprehensive update of the Circulation Element will not be completed
in time to meet the MTC deadline, and Town staff has prepared stand -alone amendments to
the existing Circulation Element that would incorporate the necessary Complete Streets
policies to secure OBAG funding.
Public hearings have been scheduled for the Planning Commission in October and the Town
Council in November to consider adoption of the amendments. The POST Commission
considered and recommended adoption of the Complete Streets policies at its meeting in
September.

PASTURE)
Hi David, Claude, Mary & Peggy
PROGRESS REPORT For Harvey's Garden at Blackie's Pasture for Sept. 2014
In Sept. we had one of our biggest improvements to date.
We had 10 huge dead Manzanita removed. That left a space of
over 600 square feet to be re landscaped (in the center or our garden)
We had two very large truck loads of new top soil delivered & a man to
spread it & rake it (that took almost 3 hours!)Then the next step
was to plant over 70 new plants & added irrigation where needed.
We did that in two separate volunteer work sessions. We will have lots
of color when those plants mature (all drought tolerant)

Tiburon Councilmernbers,
My name is Maura Mooney I'm part of Environment California's global warning solutions campaign, and we're
working on getting as many local elected officials as possible to show their support for the EPA's Clean Power Plan.
The Plan would reduce nationwide carbon emissions by thirty percent by 2030, and would be the single largest step
the US has ever taken to tackle global warming. We're asking city officials across California to show their support
for this plan by sending in a public comment. I'm attaching the template public comment for the EPA, so if you
wouldn't mind delivering it to the city council, they can edit it to their liking and send it back, or just send me an
email of support and we can send in the public comment for them. Ideally, wed like to get these back from you
within one or two days so we can deliver them as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out
to me at the contact info below. We look forward to hearing back from yourself and the city council.
Thanks again,
Maura Mooney
Dear President Obama,
Cc: EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy
As an elected official, I am writing to offer my support and thanks for your leadership to date in tackling
global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan to limit carbon pollution from
power plants is an essential step forward on the path to reducing carbon pollution and shifting to clean
energy. And the action couldn't come soon enough: It is becoming more and more apparent that urgent
action on global warming is critical if we are going to secure a safer future for our children. I urge you to
strengthen and finalize this plan as soon as possible.
California is already feeling the impacts of climate change: Our drought, wildfires and rising sea levels
are a testament to that. And right now, we're already working to reduce carbon pollution by expanding
wind and solar power, and investing in energy efficiency. In fact, we are already generate over
gigawatts of energy from solar power in our state.
The Clean Power Plan is an opportunity to build on that success. By finalizing this plan, we have a chance
to further innovate and build a cleaner energy future in the United States.
We appreciate the flexibility built in to the Clean Power Plan, and the opportunity to craft a plan that
best suites states unique strengths and opportunities. By harnessing the power of renewable energy and
energy efficiency, California is ready to achieve even more reductions than those currently proposed.
California is ready to act on climate by reducing emissions from our power plants and shifting to clean
energy.
Thank you again, Mr. President, for your leadership in providing this opportunity to protect future
generations from the worst consequences of global warming and address the largest environmental
crisis of our time.
Sincerely,
Name

TIBURON DESIGN REVEW BOARD
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 4, 2014
The meeting was opened at 7:00 p.m. by Chair Chong.
A. ROLL CALL
Present: Chair Cousins, Vice Chair Tollini, Boardmembers Chong and Kricensky
Absent: Boardmember Emberson
Ex- Officio: Planning Manager Watrous, Assistant Planner O'Malley and Minutes Clerk
Rusting
B. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None
:�7�`Ti llr al a1i3;71 s! y 1C[e9
Planning Manager Watrous announced that the item for 118 Leland Way had been withdrawn.
He reminded the Board that the Town Council/Design Review Board Workshop will be on
October 9, 2014. He noted that currently nothing was scheduled for the September 18, 2014
Design Review Board meeting and that meeting will likely be cancelled.
D. OLD BUSINESS
1. 118 LELAND WAY: File No. 714024; Charles and Suzanne Fuery, Owners; Site Plan
and Architectural Review for construction of a detached guest cottage for an existing
single - family dwelling. The proposed 636 square foot guest cottage would include a
bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area with a wet bar. The proposal would result in a floor
area of 1,558 square feet and lot coverage of 1,928 square feet (24.1 %). Assessor's Parcel
No. 034-175-04. WITHDRAWN
E. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND NEW BUSINESS
2. 4 JUNO ROAD: File No. 21420; Linda and Francis Hevern, Owners; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of a fence for an existing single - family dwelling,
with a Variance for excess fence height. The proposal involves the construction of an 8
foot tall wooden fence near the rear property line in lieu of the maximum fence height of
6 feet for this property. Assessor's Parcel No. 034 - 272 -03.
The applicant is requesting design review approval to construct a new wooden fence, with a
variance for excess fence height, on property located at 4 Juno Road in the Belveron East
neighborhood. The proposed fence would be located near the rear property line (approximately
46 feet from the existing dwelling) towards Trestle Glen Boulevard and would have a maximum
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #14
9/4/14
height of eight feet (8'). The existing wooden fence would be removed. The proposed eight foot
fence would connect to the remaining perimeter six foot (6') fence along the other property lines.
The maximum permitted fence height within a required setback in any zone is six feet (6'). The
applicant is therefore requesting a variance for excess fence height, in order to construct an eight
foot fence near the rear property line.
Linda Hevem, owner, stated that she was seeking the higher fence so that her home would not
look out onto Trestle Glen Boulevard.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember Kricensky stated that he wished that there was a way that the houses in this area
could be granted a higher fence without going through this process. He felt that the application
was warranted and agreed with staff's conclusions. All the other Boardmembers agreed.
ACTION: It was NVS (Chong/Tollini) that the request for 4 Juno Road is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval. Vote: 4 -0.
3. 8 ACELA DRIVE: File No. 21414; Tom and Carol 011endorff, Owners; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family dwelling,
with a Variance for excess lot coverage. The project would expand the existing master
bedroom suite on the second floor and extend an existing deck along the front of the
house. The first floor garage and office would be expanded and reconfigured to include a
new two -car garage, a playroom, bedroom, bathroom, storage room, wine room and
laundry room. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,836 square feet and lot
coverage of 3,772 square feet (20.5 %), which exceeds the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot
coverage in the RO -2 zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 058- 231 -11.
The applicant is requesting to construct additions to an existing single - family dwelling with a
variance for excess lot coverage, on property located at 8 Acela Drive. The property is improved
with a two -story dwelling. The project would expand the existing master bedroom suite on the
second floor and extend an existing deck along the front of the house. The fast floor garage and
office would be expanded and reconfigured to include a new two -car garage, a playroom,
bedroom, bathroom, storage room, wine room and laundry room. An existing fence along the
western side of the site would be moved closer to the side property line.
The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,836 square feet, which is one square foot
below the 3,837 square foot floor area ratio for the property. The proposal would result in lot
coverage of 3,772 square feet (20.5 %) which exceeds the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot
coverage in the RO -2 zone. The applicant has therefore requested a variance for excess lot
coverage.
David Holscher, architect, said that they view this addition as a very modest change to the
existing residence. He said that all of the expansion would be on the left side and comply with
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #14 2
9/4/14
the setbacks. He said that they have been working with neighbors to allow for privacy. He stated
that the neighbor to the north was concerned about the proposed fence on the property line which
was identical to what was approved previously in 2006. He said that they re- surveyed the
property to show all of the existing vegetation and all that vegetation would remain. He stated
that they put up story poles to show the location of vegetation and had long discussions on this
subject with that neighbor. He said that they would add four additional trees to allow for privacy
along the existing windows. He said that halogen lights along the driveway would be blocked by
installing a 40 -inch fence along the edge of the driveway.
Planning Manager Watrous asked for the revision date on the landscaping plan, and the applicant
answered August 28, 2014. Mr. Watrous noted that the Town did not have a version with that
date on file and requested a copy.
Jennifer Bloch, landscape architect, stated that they propose to plant four oleander trees that
would branch out over the six foot high fence. She said that these trees are fast - growing and
would form a nice screen, and are also deer resistant and would be able to withstand the
serpentine soil and harsh wind in this location. She described oleander shrubs to be planted in
front to of other oleanders and how they plan to keep these lower so that the neighbors' views
would not be impeded. She said that if the trees are not large enough upon installation, they can
mound up the soil so that the trees have more height. She said that there was some discussion
with the neighbors about planting podocarpus shrubs but she recommended not planting those
because that species grows very slowly and would not provide good screening.
The public hearing was opened.
Michael Heckmann, architect representing Jim Dietz, stated that his client did not receive the
current landscape plan. Planning Manager Watrous added that several sets of plans were dropped
off to Town Hall without explanation and it was difficult to know which set was the most recent
plan. Mr. Holscher clarified that the only changes that were made to the plans was the addition of
the short fence.
Mr. Heckmann stated that Mr. Dietz had not had the benefit of seeing what was being presented
tonight. Mr. Heckman stated that Mr. Dietz has lived with the fence in its current location for 35
years and it was now proposed to move eight feet toward him. He stated that the new fence
would sit downslope at least two feet from where it is today and would impact privacy. He
suggested a compromise to move it halfway between the property line and its current location,
which would be about three and a half feet. He displayed a sketch showing the new plantings to
be installed downslope and described how this would provide less privacy than the current fence
location. He said that the fence at the end of the driveway would be some help. He said that the
new deck would be sizable and did not seem to be completely functional. He stated that his client
objects to the section of the deck that would be closest to their master bedroom and proposed that
the corner of the bedroom be the limit of the deck. He said that this would still allow an
extensive deck and access to the garden and hot tub, but would also allow Mr. Dietz privacy in
his yard and bedroom. He believed that the tree issues had been worked out relatively well, but
the main remaining issues were the deck and the fence location.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #14
9/4/14
Mr. Holscher said that the side of the deck would be completely screened from the Dietz's house.
He stated that the owners really want a connection from their dining room, entry, and master
bedroom to the deck and that was always part of the plans.
Ms. Bloch stated that she believed that it is important to mark the property line on the land with a
fence to protect land ownership. She did not recommend moving the fence off the property line,
and said that she did not know why it had not been on the property line for 35 years. She said
that the planting list had not changed and was on the prior documents and versions of the
landscape plan.
The public hearing was closed.
Boardmember Chong said that the planting was not a problem that needed to be solved as it
would not impact this addition. He felt that the property owners have every right to place a fence
on their property line. He said that he went to the neighbor's house and he thought that the fence
would have some impact and would come down the hill. He asked whether anyone on the Board
had a chance to visit the uphill neighbor to see the impact on their view, but none of the other
Boardmembers were able to view the impact from the neighboring property. Planning Manager
Watrous stated that he viewed the story poles from the adjacent property and the addition would
be noticeable from some angles but did not appear to impact the neighbors. Boardmember Chong
said that it was easy to support the application and he agreed with staff's conclusions regarding
the variance findings.
Boardmember Kricensky noted that the maintenance of the screening trees is currently under the
control of the Dietz's and he understood the concern that that maintenance would no longer be
under their control if the fence is moved. He said that he had trouble rationalizing the
functionality of the deck, especially its large comer portion. He felt that this would be an
infringement on the privacy of the neighbor's bedroom.
Boardmember Chong said that the back yard is large and the main sitting areas are around the
corner and said that he understood the concerns about the deck and privacy impact to the
neighbors' master bedroom. Boardmember Kricensky was concerned that the owner could
remove the plants that are providing screening and then there would be no screening in that
location. Chair Cousins asked about adding a condition of approval that existing screening trees
would be required to remain. Planning Manager Watrous said that that could be added but was
not recommended as it would be difficult to enforce.
Vice -Chair Tollini said that he did not have the landscape plan until he arrived tonight. He
believed that the screening situation was delicate because the trees would have small trunks and
be reasonably close to the deck extension. He noted that the fire district could say that the trees
are too close and need to be removed. He said that he was not sympathetic regarding the turning
over of control of the screening, since anyone can plant screening on their own property to
maintain control of the screening.
Chair Cousins said that he understood why the neighbor was upset about moving the fence, but
he felt that the applicant is entitled to move it. He said that the screening trees would go beyond
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #14 4
9/4/14
what was needed for this application. He said that the deck on the side could be usable space, but
mostly would serve as a connector. He said that the deck could be redesigned and he felt that
cutting it back by five feet would not be significant.
Boardmember Kricensky noted that the deck would be close to the neighbor's master bedroom,
and in other projects they have had issues with that because of the privacy impact. Boardmember
Chong said that the portion of the deck outside the master bedroom would not be that heavily
used.
Vice -Chair Tollini suggested making it a circulation corridor, which would make it less of a
privacy issue. He said that a deck can impact privacy, especially when it is located near a master
bedroom. He did not see the benefit of a larger deck that would outweigh the impacts to the
neighbor's privacy. He said that the existing screening was insufficient and was not getting
better. He did not see the utility of the side deck as it would not be usable space.
Chair Cousins said that he could not imagine anyone using that area of the deck and he therefore
agreed with Boardmember Tollini and suggested a condition to reduce the width of the deck.
Mr. Holscher agreed and provided a drawing to staff of the revised deck design.
ACTION: It was M/S (Kricensky/Tollini) that the request for 8 Acela Drive is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval, and the additional conditions of approval that the deck on the north side
of the master bedroom be narrowed to align with the edge of the garage and provide access to the
hot tub, and that a revised landscape plan that includes a planting list be submitted to staff. Vote:
4 -0.
