Hello Greg and Lea,
Commissioner Alice Fredericks, copied herein, has been serving in the Member seat on the TAM Board
of Commissioners representing the Town of Tiburon. Note that the Alternate seat was vacated a couple

These seats will begin a new term on January 1, 2020 and run through December 31, 2023. We ask that
you consider these appointments at your next Council meeting and provide, in writing, the names of the
two council members who are appointed to TAM. If your Council has already made its 2020 appointments
to the TAM Board, please provide that information in a reply e-mail.

and a water feature. The majority of the existing vegetatioi� would remain the same �ith the
exception of addin� short height shrubbery withii� planters on the east side of the property.
"l�he p�-oposal i��cludes 4,082 sql�are feet of calc�ilated tloor area, ���hich �vould be 308 square f�eet
below the maximum f7oor area allowed for � lot of this size (4,390 sq�iare feet). The proposal
results in lot coverage of 2,674 sc�uar•e feet (I 1.2%), �-vhich is 91 I sq�iare teet belo�-v the 15.0%
maximum lot coverabe permitted in the RO-2 zone where the properry is loc�lted.
"1 he proposed second level exterior decl< would be situated � teet from the right-side property line.

��ould be similar t� tl�e existing home and would not crcate additio��al volume. n�ass or bull< to die

In order to �rant the �-equested variance, the Co��ncil must mal<e all of the following tindin��s

property with a steep topobraphy. The existinb home is situated close: to the st��ect bec�use
of the hillside a��d the property lines are located in the micidle of the street. The home
alre�dy has decl<s on the propet•ty, but none that are attached ro the house. Duc to the shape,
topobl-aphy and location of the hoi��e, these physical characteristics create speeial

The Design Review Board lound that the decl: in this locatio�� would be less of an impact
fi-om the adjacent neighbor as the loc�ltion �-vould be dow��hill, screened by existin��Fencin�,
sti-uctures ai�d not in close proximiry to tl�e main house of th� adjacent »eibhbor at 171 I
Vistazo West Street.
BASIS FOR TH� APPEAL
Therc are five (5) brounds upoi� �-vhich the appcal (�xhibit 1) is based:
� �rout�d #1: �'he pl•oposec� ►nain level decl< would be in close pi•oximity to the appellants'
� home,which could ��otentially create light pollirtion.
Staff Respo�.s•e:
The proposed decic ���ould be �-vrapped arou��d the fi-ont and side ofi the existi��g
home. Tl�e deci< �vould be 24 �l�eet from the fi�ont property line and 5 feet from the
side pi-operty line. "I he side portion of the decl< would i•eplace a�� existing at brade
patio and landscaped area. "fhe existinb aC-��-ade patio area currently has outdoor
fw�nit�n-e, �lnd accorciing to the o��ner. this space where the decic is to be located is
ali-eady used as o�itdoor living space. "I�hus. the proposed decl< would i�ot appear to
ii�tensify the existin��Lise of this space, other th�n ele��ating it from the bround to the
decl<, ai�d allowing tor a more functio��al connection to the house. Thc pl�i�s show
that the poi-tion of the decl< antl outdoor area wo�ild have recessed step libhts ai�d
do�vnlibhting tiYtures �t each door located on the eastern side.
At tl�e November 7. 2019, Desi��n 1Zevie��v Board meeti��g; the E3oard expressed
� slight concern re��ardina tl�e closc proximity of the deck to the side pr�operty li��e and
conditioned the peoject to have the decl< pulled bacl: f�rom the property line as the
� original submittal �vas �foi� 3 feet f�rom the side property line. The Design Review
I3oard approved the decl< situated 5 �fect fi�om the property line to }�rovide a b��ffei�
betwee�� the two properties. The Boai�d did not appear to have a co��cern regarding
potential lighting impacts ti�om this portion ot the prope�-ty.
' Ground #2: The eastern side property would be g►-aded and ���oulcl affect the existing 6 foot
tail side property fence.
St�r�f Re.Sporlse:
TOWN OF TIBURON F9AGE 6 OF 9
�:lnuar��l�,2Q7Q
According to the pla��s, the side propc�-ty area ���ould be tillecl_ ran��in�,� bet�veen 12
inches to 30 inches over the existing patio area to level tl�e existing split level patio
to create one patio area and have a coi�sistent flow bet���een thc proposed decl< and
existi��g patio area. `l��here is�u� e�istin�T 6 foot tall fence alon��the side property line
and according to the �lans. "]�he height of the ience is measured fi-om the i�at�u�al or
finished grade, whichever is lo�a�er. The fence hei��ht should not be attected by thc
new bradin� and thus would remain at 6 feet tall. .
Ground #3: The eastern side master bedl•oom ��°indo��� ���ould potentiallv create a privacy
impact on the front entry of the appellant's home.
Slaff Res�of�se:
The i��aster bedroom expansion on the third level ���o�ilcl have an existing wi»dow
tl�at would be re-oriei�ted and expai�ded in sizc. One ofthe existinb master bedroo»�
window is anbled towards the vie���s of the bay. Sai� Francisco The proposed re-
orientatio�� of this eastern side window for the master bedroom would be orie��ted
towards the appella��ts hoi��e, but �vas proposed to be situated at an angle. At the
November 7, 2019, Design Review Board meeti��«_ the Architect presented plans
with privacy louv�rs over this windo«�� to mii�ii��ize the potential privacy impacts.
The Qoai•d agreed with this chanbe as they determined the louvers were sufficient
to address privacy and added this as a coi�ditio�� ot�a�proval.
Ground #�: The expansion of the window on the 3'��floor could poteutially create a privacy
impact on tl�e front entry of the appellant's home.
Staff Response:
The plans show window and door ���oditications to the east�ern side elevation. The
majority of the ���indows and doors �l�o�ild be ne�-v w�indo���s in the same openings.
Oi� the secoi�d level, a set of windows ��°ould be replaced with a slidii�g door, the
master bedroom window would be expanded in size ai�cl re-oriented and a window
o�� the thirc( level would be enlar��ed. Ho���ever, at the November 7, 2019, Board
n�eetinb, the Architect presented plans to show that the �-vii�do��� be reduced in size
froi�� a proposal of 6 feet by 6 feet to 4 fcct by 3 ieet to minimize the potential
privacy impacts on the appeilants prope�-ty. All other windo���s and doors would
appear to be in similar locatio��s as cxistin�� �-vindo���s and doors and would not
appear to ci-eate aciditional impacts on tl�e appcllants properry. In addition, the
Board addcd a condition that the wii�do��� for thc ��ym be reduced in size to reduce
privacy impacts.
Ground #5: The conversion of the side windo���� to a slidinb door could potentially create
pi-ivacy and noise irnpacts on the appellant's I�ome.
Slaff Resl�ot�se:
As mentioned above, the windo�vs ���ould be i��oditied on the eastern side of the
home. The second level c�u-rently has a set oi���vindows. �vhich would be converted
to a screei� door to provide access from the house to the proposed main level decl<.
This portion of the home would be at a lower elevation and would appear to be

screening between thc two properties to address ��oise and privacy.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
� Staff anticipates no direct iiscal ii��pact to the 1'own.
ENVII20NM�NTAL I2I;VIEW
Staff�has preli�minarily deteri��ined�that acio�tior� u1� ihis �item is cEltegorically exempt from the
� requirements ol�the Calilorni� Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
On November 21, 2019, the Design Review E3oard, as pai�t of its review ofthe project and approval
of additions to an existing single-family dwelling, deemed the project to be exempt �f�rom CEQA
pursuant to the Class I categorical exemptions set fol-th in CEQA Guidelines Section 15301
(Existi��g F�cilities).
To the extent fiurther an�lysis is req�iired, staf�t� recommends that the Town Counci) similarly
determine that with respect to the limited Sit� Plan and Architectur�tl Review approval at issue the
Project is eYempt fi�om CEQn pursuant to t�he same Class I categorical exemptions, and that no
exceptions to the exemptions apply.
Class I Calenoricu/I:��c�i����Iron ('Cl;�A Gtridelir�es Sectior� 1�301 —L'xrslino Facililies
Tl�e proposed project ii�volves additions to an e�isting sin�le-family home located in a residential
zoi�e. The area is urbanizetl with other single-�tamily t�nd two-family homes on �tll sides of the
property.
Cute;oricul Exemplion F.��-ce/�Iion.s (C'FC)�� Guicleliy���.s �` 1�300.2)
Further. none of the exceptions listed in CEQf1 Guiclelines Section 15300.2 apply. There is no
evidence that the Project ��ill result in any adve�-se environmental impacts a��d the Project does not
ii�volve any unusual circumstances or historical resources. li�deed, the proposed project woulci not
�� signiticantly impact an�� environmental resource. In addition, there is i�o evidence that any
sibniiicant cumuiative impacts would oecur.
Specitic supporting details regarding the project sitc include the following:
i) The property is located in a residential zone �vith sii�gle-family dwelling s�ii-ro�indii��� the
property. Open spaee is adjacent� to the property on the south and west sides.

2) Accordin« to the Calil-ornia Departmei�t of�7�ransportation. there are no scenic hi�hways i�� �
Marin Cou��ty.
3) Accordin�to the California Department of"l�oxic Substance Coi�troL�thei-e are no haz_ardous
waste sites in the Tow�� of 7�iburon.
�) The eaistii�g home is not on the Town's List of Historic Properties. The exist'ii�� home has �
gone throu�h moditications throu��hout the years.
5) It is a commo�� practice for the To���n of �l�ib�u-on's Desi�7n R�vicw [3oard to appi-ove
additions to existing homes in an established residential i�ei��l�borhood. Other examples are

R�COMM�NDATION
Staff recoi��me��ds the Town Council conduct a public hearin<7 on this matter, deliberate and then
consider adoptii�g one of the followin�� options:

construction of additions oz�this site would be consistent«�itl� Che eaistinb home and would
not create additional volume, mass or bullc to the existing property.
D. The Design Review Board finds that the project is exempt fi�om tlle requirements of ihe
California Em-iroiunental Quality Act pursuant to the Class 1 catevorical exemptions in
CEQf1 Guidelines Section 15301. The Design Review.�3oard fiirthei-finds that that none of
the e�:ceptions in Section 1�3002 apply,as there is no evidence that the project will result in
any si�nifcant adverse environn7ental impaets,presen�s unusual circumstances orinvolves
let alone will cause a substantial adverse chinge in tl�e significance of a Iustorical resotn�ee.

The subject property is a steep upsloping lot, as are other atljacent properties, however what differentiates
this property from the neighbors is that it is also ver}� narrow. The neighbors on the same side of the street
have wide frontages�vhich alloav them to have long, winding driveways which allows for their houses to be
located up at the uaaer aortions of their lots. See neiahborhood overhead below;

main living space, toward the primary view which is tov��ards ihe South (across Vistazo�Nest) is to buila a

the front,the only way to build a deck of usable size is by requesting either a fi�ont or a sicie seiback
variance(we are requesting only a sitle setback variance). The oth2r houses on the same side of lhe street
have exterior yards and decks on all sides due to their more favorable sife locations.
2. Explain howgranting of the�ariance u✓ould not result in a special privilege that is inconsisfer�t�vifh

There are no other properties on the up-sloped side of the street in the vicinity that have such limifed�Nidth
or have houses so close to the street such that the only way to achieve enjoyable outdoor space along the
iront of ine house UJouid require a similar yard variance. i nereTore, graniing this variance does nei resuit in
a special privilege nor is it inconsistent with limitations on other properties in the vicinity.

!hestrict application of the zoninc� rEgulations results in a house that does not have enjayable outdoar

patio antl pair of spiit-level patios in the side yard that are sandwiched between the house on the subject
property and the neighbor's detached garage that is cfose to the property line and blocks views, and a

inere is a detacned garage on �i��i�i Vistazo vs�esi, aeiween tne proposed deck anp iiie neighbors nouse
which completely blocks visibility from their house t�the deck, There are no houses Ucross the street nor to
the west, both of which are open space. The naturai topography slopes up between the subject property
and trails in the open space,therefore unless you are standing right in front of the house,the ne�vfront tleck
antl entry overhang wili not be visible. Therefore,granting of the variance would not be detrimental to
others.

��ai���cc: In regards to the proposed plans of 1707 \/isiazo St West'
Dear Kyra and Design Review 8oard,
First of ali, I want you fo know 'thaf I support all new development in our neighborhood as (ong as fhe
�roposed plans respect tf�e privacy of 1711 Vistazo St West and the zoning requirements.
I am writing to you because the current proposed plans of 1707 Vistazo St Wesfi majorly impact the
privacy of 171'1 Vistazo St West and ignore the RO-2 zoning requirernents.
There are two major aspects in the proposed plans of 1707 Vistazo St West that concern 1711
Vistazo St West.
1. The master� bedroot�n window expansion of 1707 Vistazo St West targets the front door, front entry
and front yard of approximately 135ft wide frontage at 1711 Vistazo St West and invade privacy. If
you look at the proposed site plan, tf�e page where you car� see both properties, you can dra�v a
straight line from the middle of the master bedroorn expansion to our front door. Also, you can draw
lines from ihe master bedroom expansion to our front entry and middle of our front yard. This is how
widely the master bedroom expansion at 17Q7 Vistazo St West invades privacy at 1711 Vistazo St
West. To present this privacy invasion at 1711 Vistazo St West, I wi{I also send you a separate ernail
with photos taken from the front door, the front entry anc! the middle of the front yard at 17�1 Vistazo
St West.
2. The proposed new deck design leaves only 3ft between the new deck and the property line
between 1707 Vistazo St West and 1711 Vistazo St West at the street front. According to RO-2
zoning, which is the zoning for the up side of Vistazo St West, the setback is 12ft. The variance
request to reduce 12ft setback to 3ft minimizes privacy extremely between these two properties that
already have closer proximity to one another than the rest of the RO-2 zoning properties on the up
side of Vistazo St West. More importantiy, the distance of only 3ft between two properties especiaily
at the street front alters the spacious look of RO-2 zor�ing. Spaciousness of RO-2 zoning has value
for the up side of Vistazo St West and it certainly has value for i711 Vistazo St West. On the down
side of Vistazo St West, the zoning aiternates between R-1 and R-2 zoning and the properties are
much closer to one another. RO-2 zoning deserves to be protected so that the up side of Vistazo St
West does not begin to look like the down side of Vistazo St West.
It is important for 171 � Vistazo St West not to lose its privacy as well as the spacious look of its RO-2
zonina to
maintain its privacy conditions, zoning and overall value.
The existir:g window orientations of 1707 Visfazo St West, built in 1990, respect tf�e privacy of 1711
Vistazo St Wesf, built in 1960. 1711 Vistazo St West requests that 1707 Vistazo St West re-design
its proposed master bedroom window expansion respecting the privacy of 1711 Vistazo St West and
adjust the size of its proposed new deck respecting the RO-2 zoning requirements.

(i the impact o�`the proposea ,�a�. .a�ck anci the n�7aster bedroom ��v���d�.. exp�nsion of �i707 Vistazo
St 1N�st is not clear to you irom the si�e plan; frorn ihe phafos i will email to you anc! from Visfazo Si
VVest iiself, I a�7� happy to invite you to 17 i 1 �/istazo Si West io closely evaluate ihe situation.
Than<< ;�ou for your attention, consideration and tir��e.
Best Reg�rds,

DI2 2019-057 and VAR 201�-020 (APN 059-011-0$)
Dear Design Revietiv �3oard and Ms. O'Malley;
We represent Ms. Zeynep Alcon af 1711 Vistazo ��Jesl, tt�e property immec�iatcly
�idjacent to 1707 Vistazo West. Tl1is letter outlines Ms, fllcon's objections Co the project
as currently proposed and i-cc�ucsCs that the Design Revie�-v Boai-d ("DRl3") inei�nbel•s
carefully evalu�te tlle findings lebally required Co a�prove the proposed side yal�ci
variance. When yo�u do, �ve thinlc you will agre� tivith St:aff that vou cannc�t legally satisf}�
the required findings basecl on the project as currently proposed.
Ms. Afcon is s�ecifically concerned with the obvi��us potential privacy and noise
ilnpacts o�f lhe follo��ing eleme�lts ofthe proposed project along tlze South side of 1707
Vistaz�� West:
1. The side yard decic�roposed to be construc[ed withil� 2 feet 5 inches from her
pro�ei•ty line ���he�•e I S feet is required in the RO-2 zoi�e, If��ranted, that���ould
be a 12 fool, 7 inch varialice. I�ez�fail�ily raomlo�ffice is located direetly above
and adjacent to that space, which will clearly become an active use az-ea for the
neighbots placed way too close to l�er primary Iiving space. Night time ciecl<
use will also c�•eate a tremendous light pollution problem f���r the family room.
Ms. Al<on rec�uests that the variance applicatioia be denied.
ICE L-G[i�l I-1 A[Z[Z I 5 O N ���
Tiburon Design Review Board
October 30, 2019

2. T'he propased plan is to elevate portions of the sic3e yarcl such that the ne�v
active use area would be much closer to her family room!atfice. Her current 6
foot fence would effectively becol��e a 42 inch f'ence fi�rther miniinizing
privacy between the properties. Ms. Akon rec�uests that an alternative design
be considered to eliminate any increase in the elevation of the side yard.
3. The much larger proposed 3'� floor master bedroain windo�v is aimed directly
at IVIs. Alcon's front door landing and living room entry way window and
overloolcs her entire entry area, rather than being angled toward the primary
view lilce the current, srziallez•window. Ms. Al<on requests that t� design
alternative be considered tc� prevent that new larger window from targeting her
ft�ont entzy.
�. Ms, flkon requests denial of the proposec� expansion of the 3'�� floor 21�by 2ft
window directly across from her living room/office windo�� and also
overlooking her front entiy area as it aga'rn adversely impacts privacy.
5, Ms. Alcon also objects to the conversion of the side winc3ows to doars
aeeessing the new proposed, elevatecl deelc due to the obvious privacy and
naise impacts.
The variance findings at issue, pursuant to Calif'ornza Government Code §65906
and Tiburon Zoning Qrdinance �16-52.030E, are as follows:
l.Because of special circurnstances appiical�le ta ttie property, including si�e,
shape, to�sography, location, or s`$rrota�ac�ings, the ste•ict �pplic�tion of this zaning
ordinance will deprzve the applicant of pr�vileg�s �njoyed by c�ther properties in #he
�icini� Agit� in �}�n ca�p rer cr�l,�c4wntj�ll� t6�P c�m� �sn;;��
The applicant's archi#ect does an acimirable job trying to convince you that the
narrow, steep lot is a special circumstanee warranting the rather excessive side yard
variance; as well as the front yard variance building right up to the public road next to the
open space. However, a quick looI� at the Assessor's Parcel Map sl�ows th�t the lot is
narrowest at the street frontage and much �,�ider above. The constr�ction of the existing
house and improveinents an the narrowest part c�f the lot is an existing condition that is,
in effect, a self-created hai•dst�ip and not a special circumstance warranting such a
massive variance.

'I'iburon Design Review Baard
(�ctaber 30, ?019
�'age 3
2. �'he vari�nce will not constitiate a grant of's��cia� pr•ivileges, inconsisteiit
r�it}i tt�e limitations upon oth�r properties in the vieiriity anc3 iri ti�e sad��e or
s��bstar�tially the s�tne zoi�e,
Ms. Alcon's property admittedly has a sirnilar coridition, her carport, located close
to the praperty line. Accordingly, the applicar�ts could use that conciitiUn to try to ix�ake
this finding.Nate, however, Ms. Alcon bought her propert}� with that existing eonciition,
which apparently was created before the ct�rz�ent requirements. This is the only finding
that could potentially be legitimately made, where all faur are legally required to grant
the variances.
3. The strict application of this zoning ordinance�avould result in prac#ical
dif�culty or unnecessary physical h�rdship. �elf-ce•eated liardships may not be
conside�•ed �mon� the f��tors tliat might constiti�te specYal circums�aiices. A seif-
created hardship results from actions talcen by present aa• prioi• owvners of the
property that consciously cre�te the�v�ry diffici�tti�s or hardships ciaimed as tt�e
basis for an application for a �variance; and
As noted above,the construction of the existing house ai�d improvements on the
nanowest part of the lot is an existing condition that is ciearly a self-created hardship. There is
n�room for the proposed deck and precluding it could hardly be considered an"unnecessary
physical hardship,"particularly given the existing patio in the same area that the applicant� could
continue to enjoy, albeit it at bit lower in elevation.
4. Z'tae granting of the variance will not be d�t�-imental to tlxe ��ublic we[fare
or injurious to other pro�erty i� the vicini�y. .
Granting the side yard variance wauld clearl}� adversely impact Ms. Akon's ability
to use and enjoy her property due to excessive and completely unnecessary privacy, noise
and lilcely Iight pollution impacts. Again, the applicants can continue to enjoy the existing
patio. Whether the frant yard variance so close to the road adjacent to apen space��r�ould
be detritnei�tal to the public interest is a question best left to the DRB's consideratian.
In shart, the facts and circurnstances of the Edwards/Hornbool< Application
present a legally insufficient basis for the DR�3 to make the fndings legally required to
support the requested variances; most particulariy �he side yard variance, given the
obvious, substantial adverse impacts on the neighboring praperty. Ms. Akon reque�ts that
ihe variances be denied and that the propased doar arid window elements be redesi�ned
to reduce the privacy impacts to her property.

At the November 7, 2019, Design Review Board meetin�7, the �oard considered at1 application
for constn�ction of additions to an existing single-fai�lily d�i�elling on propert�� located at 1707
Vistazo West Street. At the meeting; an adjacent neighbo�� at 1711 Vistazo ��%est Street expressed
theiz• concerns regarding potential noise and privacy iinpacts fi-om new ���indows on the east
elevation and a ne��znain level deck.
The Board determined that the additions to the 1loine furthered tlie purposes of Tiburon Muiiicipal
Code (TMC) Section 16-52.020 (A) and followed both tlle I-�illsides Design Guidelines ar�d the
Guiding Principles e�pressed in TI�IC Section 16-52.020 (H) as the additions would be siinilar to
the eaisting home atld would not create additional ��olume, mass or bulk to the propert}�. The
Boai�d expr�essed concern regarding the potential privacy impacts for the adjacent ileighboi;
therefore, conditioz�s were added at the meeting to the conditions of appro��al that the deck would �
be pulled bacic 2 feet from t11e property line, additional landscaping be plante�d along the east side
propei-ty liiae, �uooden louvers o��er the eastern side master bedroon7 wiridow and the gym
window be reduced in size. T�he Boai-d also d�tei�mined th�t there ��as suificient evidence to
support the findings required by "I�MC Section 16-52.030 (E) for tl�e reqlie�t of a Varia�lce for
reduced side setback as the proposal for the i�zai�z level decic.
Following a public hearing and discilssion at the November 7, 2019, re?ular meeting (see
�tt.lclaYnent 2), tlle Design Revie�v Board dii-ected st�ff to prepare a draft resolLiCion approving
the application for Site Plan and Architectural Revie��� for corlstruction of add;tions to an existing

, Lisa Ed�vards, hozneowner/applicant, introduced her husband, Chuck Hornbrook as well as her
son Griffin. She said tllere is one neighbor who has expressed coucerns witll the project; and she
pointed to her home. Hei• il�otlier is 82 and she lives by herself and is t�nable to live by herself.
T'he idea is to co�zvert part of their house into a living space which would provide a bedz•oom on
the n�ain floor as well as doorway to go outside in the fi�ont yard.
The seeond z•equest is iTnplementirig sonae aesthetic improvelnents and she pointed to their
garbage cans in their fi�ont yaz�d and street and the propei-ty not takin� advantage of vie�,��s. They
are also putting on a new roof as their tiles blew off of the roof in the last wind stoi•m, an interior
sprinlcler system, a batter}� backup Ior power outa�es; solai- pallels and donating all usable
inaterials to Habitat for Humanity and lastly to create some outdoor usable space so they can use
their Jacuzzi ���l�ich slle has never been in the over 2 years that they have had the house.
� Regarding the zleibhboi-, t11e�� tz•ied to present tlle plans to the whole neighborhood and ptirt out a
notification and held two open housGs at their home. They speciFcally asked her t�t}.1eii•hnn,e tn
review and Llnderstand the plans in detail at wllicll time. she supported the pi•oject and they dic�
not hear anything else. Tl�e ilext time they heard from her was that she had been do��n1 to the
� Plailning Divisioil to lodbe a complaint. So; it «�as dis�ppointing because many of the tllings
could have been solved throu�h colnmunication and she thinl<s most of the tl�ings beiilg done
� enhance her propei-ty as ��ell.
A�Is. Edwards then presented a view of the gaz�ba�e cans, tlle �vall structurall_y beinb used to hold
the deck on, and there wei-e references regardinb noise and proYimity of the property. She
� pointed to the outdoor dining ���here they spend time diirinb the surruner. The proposal is to move
the outdoor dining azld focus of tlleir house to a diffei-ent location where the vie�v is and away

fi-om the nei�hbor's property. It is a very fiulky slla�ed property and she pointed to ihe
topographic lines and «�here the neighbor's house is approxiinately 30 feet above her property.
Ted Boiuieau; Arcl�itect, O�B Studio, said he ��ould iilce to diffe.rentiate betE�cen the variance
request and the pro.ject as a v�7hole. The areas of addition to the house are mostly infills of
notches and oddities that are in the architecture of the existing house. They do not add significant
mass anct bulk to the hoLise ancl the area of the addition is only 357 sc�uare feet. The house is
moz•e than 300 �eet under the xeqliiz-ed F:'�R and the maximum bliildiilg hei�ht is essentially the
sarne as existing and uilder the height limit. The ollly requested variance is for the side yaz�d
setback for the new deck. If not for this, he believes they «�ould be lookinb at a staff level review
and would lil�ely not be meetin�here toizight.
He presEnted a rendering of the project with the iieighboz-'s house beyond and lie pointed out tl�e
staff report is supportive of the woi�k on the house. !�s stated in the staff report, the additions
appear to be minor. They would not create visual impacts on the neighbors; woulci zlot add mass
and bulk to the e�isting house, height is corisistent «%ith the 11ome and other updated hoines in the
neighborhood, and they are proposing mininlal grading and exterior do��n lightinb at doors and
paths only, and the project is generally in conformance with the development standards vti�ith
exception of the decic variance.
Mr. Bomleau then presented the demolit�on plan at the top and the proposed plan at the bottom.
Regarding the wizidows and privacy issues, they a��e thankfiil to the nei�hbor for bringing this to
their attention, but after thinkin� about it the existing wiudows were designed to direct the vie�u
away from the neighboring house. I-Ie pointed to those windows they are eliminating and
i�lfilling and said th�y also pz•opose a i�ew �vindo�� in the master bedroom. He noted the
homeowneis want privacy as well and they propose to reduce the size of one window whicll Ile
displayed and also propose to install privacy louvers outside of this window��,�hich will eliminate
a direct line of si�ht between the hotise�s and ���ill allo�� t��e o��liers to still see downto�vn San
Fra�lcisco. �
IIe stated he had climbed on the roof and pointec[ to the location as beinb right in front of the
proposed window in the master t�edroom. He then displayed a photo taken from the neighbor's
house whieh w�s subinitted �fronl the Plaizning Division and they used it to add in their project.
He referred to the louvers being proposed which will cz�eate privacy and eliminate direct line of
sight and the windov�� that was previousl;� at a certain hei�ht and no�,�� needs to be a standard
window. He also poiiited to the �ai-a�e on tl�e i1ei�;l�bor's property aild fi-om this vantage point
they cannot see the proposed deck at all.
He then presented existing and proposed elevations, �r,�llich slio�v the eliminated windows, angled
windows to be eliminated, and a new window wllich l�e believes is 6 � 6 feet in tl» plans, but
would be reduced to 4 x 3 feet. He then pointed to another� new window, the louvers for
privacy, and the dashed line which represents the barage in the forebround on the neighbor's
property. The Board can see the proposed deck and some landscape plantings bet�veei� the
proposed deck and the uphill property.

He also wanted to diFfer�ntiate bettiveen t�le decl< and the patio �s he felt tl�ere �vas somc
confus�ion on the p�rC of the nei�hbor �vith this. The work at the patio is sin7ply levelin� out t�vo
sinaller terraces and he pointed to the tr�vo split level areas and said the}� are raising one level one
foot to create oi�e level. IIe then poiiited to minor landscaping worlc th�t does not require design
review and one tl�ing th�t has been me�itioned is that as this level colnes up, tlze fence will get
lower. whicll lie described.
He called oiit tlie area bet��eetl the pati� ancl the deck where they are �roposing ]andscape
plarters io lzeip with son�e priv�cy. Also, ihe I�ew deck wllich will l�e the more useci deck u�ill
pull outdoor activity further a�h�ay and much lo�ver down by about 5 feet. He then presented the
decli and he pointed to the area requiriug a variance. He clari�ecl that �he deck is permitteci to
extend 3 feet into the side setbacic, 6 feet into the fi�ont and a portion of the decic is less than 3
feet above grac�e, �ld l�e pointecl to pernlitted and tlie noil-perini�ted area that extends nlore tl�an
3 feet above grade. Although the deck is 12 feet, the variance is 9 feet.
Mr. Bozlneau tllen pointed out the location of the deck as compared to tl�e zleighbor's propel•ty,
stating there at-e many usable olitdoor spnces at tl�e neighbor's property. The area adjacent to the
deck is dominated b��the gara�e structure. He then pointed out the diffei•ence in elevatioi� of the
main floor level at 17'11:', Vistazo West�vliich is 25' �h�ve tl�c ele��ation of the proposed d��k.
and the non-conforming etiisting garage in between cr�ates a buffer between the two. l,hey have
the iz�veise of the hillside design �uideline where this property does not lool: do�vn the
neighbo�'s property.
He then went tlu-ough the fi��st vari�nce finding and said 1707 Vistazo West has tlae narrowest
�i�ontabe as they are about 4� feet and evezy other property along this sh�eet is over 100, 120, 112,
120, 160, �nd 125 feet. Therefore, Inost properties are about three times as wide as the subject
property. The maxin�uin slope of a cirive«�ay i� 25% and ihis existing slope is 44%. So, tlie
special circunistance is that due to its nal�-o�vness and the steepness of the lot, there is only one
locatiol� a ilouse could be that is accessible by car. Thet•efore, the special circiu�istance is unique
foi•this property.
I-Ie pointed out tllat all other homes alon� the street have long, winding di•ivew�ys. I�ecause of
the �l�idth of those lots tl�ey can be set further back. He also pointed to outdoor s�aces on the
better sides of their properdes.
Variance findiiig ntimber 2 relatin� to not restilting in special pz•ivilege and s�id staff pointed out
that there are tllree other setback variances thaC hav� been granted in the neighborhood as���ell as
other e�istiilg iion-conforming strucnires iil the neigllborhood �uhich extend into side yard
setbacks, �vitt� thE one next door as an exainplc. Therefoz�e, granting tliis variance wouId not
� result in a special pr-i��ilege bc,cause of tl�e unique characteristics of the propei-ty ti�hich create the
speeial circumstances.
IIe then presented a previous approved variance in 1999 on the subject pz�operty t31at allo��-ed for
multiple side yard setback encz•oachnzents. This work ���as never built but he thinl.s it should be
taken into accour�t that it was approved.
T'IT3UROIV D.I2.B. MIINUTE�#13 �y

Variance finding nuinber 3 relatin� to practical difficuity ot- hardsllip and he said tlie current
outdoor spaees are inaccessible to elderty family members «�ith limited mobiliiy. As part of the
tivhole project, they are addi�lb an elevatoi-to create access, adding a guest bedroom, az�d creating
sliding glass doors with a flush tlu-esllold which mal<es the deck accessible. This decic�n-il1 be the
only accessible outdoor family usable outdoor space.
Variance fnding numbe�- 4 relating to not beinU detrimental to ptiblic wetfare, he thinks the slide
shows the propert}� is surrotulded by open space on these sides and dowt�hill for quite a bit. There
is only one neigllbor locateci in the close vicinity, the decic loeation 11as low impact o�1 the
neighbor due to the detached garage and significailt change in elevation; azid they are proposing
to plant privacy la��dscaping betvv�een the deck and the nei�hbor and they are relocating the znosti
used outdool• space on the pt�operry fiirther a«�ay from the neighbor which will help with noise
separation. He did not believe there were concerns about light pollution because they are
followinb all design guidelines.
He concluded his presentation and said he was happy to ans���er an}� questions.
Vice Chair Barringer asked the architect to describe the Iouvers.
Mr. Bonaaeau said it would probably be best if they ��ere fixed but moveable might be nice. They
are vertical wo�d slats about 1 '/2" thick and 6" in depth. They have to nail the angle dowzl away
a bit from the aleighbor whicll is more oi� less in the direction that the owners would lilce to look.
Vice Chair Barringer asked if it would be to the vertical attacl�inent to the eave above and to the
windowsill.
Mr. Bonileau said he was t17ii1king they might have an extra deep window there. He would push
it in a bit instead of having the window nail fins out at the exterior and then havi�lg those fills
occurs within that opei�ing.
Vice Chair Ban�inder asked ti�-11at ���ould be planted for tlle landscaping along the neighbor's edge
in the planters and alozig the property line.
Mr. Bonneau said ideally it ���ould be son�ethiilg that would <7row fairly tall, but they have not yet
discussed it.
Chair Kim said she was linclear as to the theoretical fence bet�veen the two neighbois and asked
if this would be updated.
Mr. Boniaeau said they did not have it in the plails but«loul� like it to be taller.
Ms. O'Malley noted tl�e fence cannot be diseussed if it was ove1� 6' tall because that ti��ould need
a variance.
Mz�. Bonizeau said C feet woulc] 11e1p beeause as they raise the patio the fence will reduce to 5' or
less.
TIT3URON D.R.B. MINU'TES#13 16

Chair Kiin aslced how tl�is wollld be calculated.
� Iv1s. O'Malley replied tl�at the fence is nzeasured fi�om tlle ilatui-al riiislled grade; �vl�icllever is
lowez-, so if they ai-e 1•aising tlle �rade, �they would l�ave to comc baeic and t�le request ��ould llave
to be iloticed.
�'Ir. I3onneau refet-red to a slide and said he did not tilii�ic the owi7ers care enouah to bet a
variance. �-Ie pointed to a dashed �rhite line and said this is what they wez-e hopii�g for. Raising
the fenee benefits the owners beeause it hides more of the garage; but he clicl not t11iTi1: it m�Ices
much difference for t11e neibhbor.
Boaz-dmember Chon� referred to the east elevation and asked if the architect calculated the area
before and aft�er on proposed versus e�isting of glass.
R�Ir. Bonneau said no and he pointed to the plans, stating the Board c�n see the illuminatin�
���indo��s and one bigger is la�•�er than tlle one being replaced, as well as another one. D�«�n
below they have doors versus windo��s, so he believes it is close to being the same.
Vice Chair Barringer aslced and confirmed t11e sliding dooz�s are 8 feet tall. The doors slide a���av
from the corner and tl�e post is interior of the corner of the doors.
Chair Kim openecl the public cominent period.
Public Commel�ts:
Paul Smith said he was assis�ting Ms. Akoz1 ai 1'711 Vistazo West which is the only prope��ry
adversely affect i�ext door to the right They have heard this is tlle n�u�r�west part of the lot and
that it is a special circlimstanee and have heard there is a limit in terms of what can be done with
the side yard space, which is NIs. Akon's primary concern here.
He believed that allowing the variance for t11e deck is a massive sicie yard ��arilnce request as the
deck al-ea will go within 3 feet of the propei-ty line. One of the slides shows eveiybod}� «Iould be
congregatin� on the far eorner of the front deck bltt this is not wl�y this large elevated decic area
is being created. He thinks it ���ili be active use area, hiffl�er up and closer to NIs. Akon's
propez�ty. She has a wizldow in the highez�part of her house that is her livin� room ai�ld offiee and
it is primary living �-ea, and this deck will �bE up closer. Granted, there is an elevation differ�ntial
and it means this will be very difticult to screen; but sound carries so this will be a zi�uch niore
active use area, closer to ller primary living space and it will be used at nidhttime with nlore
people out there.
He said the Board must be able to make all four findinds and, while he agreed with the special
circumstance; there is not a liardshi�� in not havin� a variance in the side yard so close to the
neighbor whicll is injtuious to Ms. Akon's property. So, the prim�ry concern is that space,
� pi�ivacy and noise impacts, as well as tl�e lnaster bedrooni.

Also, it ir�igl�t be a good solution but there is no�� a 45-de�z�ee angle where the ���indowr is bein� �
pointed out to the view. This is positioned more directly at the Al:on pt�operty and inuch larger.
Possibl}� a louvered approach wotiild create a privacy buffer which v,,�ould help bu� he ��as not
sure it would work. T1ie other concerli is ihe closeTless of the third floor side yard ��indo�ti� as it
is too I�Zuch of an active use aT�ea «-itli the conversion of doors and ���indows out to the deck.
Rebut/al--Applicu�7t
Mr. Bonneau said «�hat confiised hiln tlie most �vas how the ne��� outdoor space would be higher
up and closer iii elevati�n to the neighboi�which is untrue. Tl�e netizr outdoor space is 5 feet lou�er�
than the existing patio, so they are cz-eatin� outdoor space which is fiirther away from the
neighbor.
Chair Kin�returned deliberation to tlie �3oard.
Vice Chair Barrin�er said he thinlcs the design is nice and an improvelnent to the existing house
which is usable but a bit dated. He feels there axe elements of the circular stairs he did not
understand until he�vas standing there on site earlier today�, and this is certainly a usable space as
it currently stands. There is an argument for the noise but he was not sure it would be
substantially different. Thi•ee feet is very close in his opinion and he suggestcd pulling t17e decic
a bit back and was worried about setting a precedent, although when lookin� at the other lots he
i•ecognized this lot as a��lcward.
Boardmember Cllong agreed and said he likes the design and it is cleal•ly a dif�c�ilt lot to ��ork
v��ith. He would strubgle tlie inost with the hardship. Staff was i�ot able to make tl�e findings for
the variance but l�eing able to have ou�door space right outside of living space that ca�tures
views is cle�rly what everybody proposes from a design standpoint in Tiburon. He thinks it is
pushing the limits a bit aiid asked for it to be moved back a bit.
He disclosed thai l�e ��isited botla the applicant's home and Ms. Akon's home �vhich does sit
farther away. Because of the views, tlle applicaiit's pi�oposal probably i•esults iii moi�e usable
outdoor sp�ce �nd it is 1o«�er and filrther away. He also thinks ��hile there is an office and some
areas that look that ��,�ay, clearly Ms. Akon's house is oriented to capture views to the other side
and so outdoor decks and space al-e really geared to be on that side with the exception to a small
table or sitting area on that side.
Additionally, the existing patio does have a tivall ���here sound and some of the movement nli�ht
be z��ore hidden. It caiuiot be seen Fi�om the neighbor's house whereas this has the potential
around the cornez� of the house to have a bit more of a direct line of impact Therefore, movin� it
back in a bit takes away a little of the inner edge. b�it he again stated it is not an easy site to work
»ith.
Boardlneinber Crescini said he thinks the architect did a good job in Iceepizlg the existinb mass
while givillg a new look to the house. It is a good naix of ti•aditional elements and contemporar5�
additions. He visited the site outside and believes what is proposed is the least disturbing for the
pi-ivacy of flze neigl�boz-s because it is far away, lower, and tucked behind the garage.

Uilfortunately, the proposal reqlliz�es a variance so he was not sui�e l�e ��as ready to gr�nt 9 leet
� ai�d sug;ested it be 4 feet so there can be a passage fi�om tl�ie clecic to the back. But lie also thinl.s
the project is feasihle and does not create t�ig privacy issues for tl�e 9 foot variance.
� Chair I�i1n said she thiz�lcs the way the Board needs to loolc at it is wlietller tlle Board can i��al:e
the �ndings and if they cail be made, Boardilleinbers c�n tallc about��-here tlle decl< is positioiled.
She su�gested boing throu�h them individually.
Re�arcting Tindizl�nuznber 1 relating to special circumstances:
Vice Chair Ban�ingel- said he could make that findin� based lipon tl�e topoora�h}% �nd shape of
the lot. He clid not think it was feasible to rebuild the house and he thiiiks it is reasonable to have
outdoor area off of the living area, arld there are special circumstances because of the site's
shape, location and topograpl�y which create that hardship.
� 13oardmembers all abreed they could make Finding number 1.
Re�ardin� Findi�z<„?tluz»l�er� r�l�tino to tl�e �rantin� of specialpz-»ile�es:
Boardmember Choilg said he did not thii�lc it would trigger a gra�lting of special pT�ivileQes as
there are a number of other homes in the area with these conditiolis.
Vice Chair Baz7•inger said he worries a little bit about the magnitude of the variance he thoubht 3
feet to the property line is very tight, but he has to say tllat being at tl�e site it does seem lil<e a
logical location and u�ould malce sense fi�om a privacy standpoint. He sug�ested seeilib t11at
setback pulled back a little bit and personally thought 5 feet «-oilld make it less of a special
privilege.
Ch�ir Kim sumi��arized that if the applicant reduced the magnitude of the setback the Boarci may
� belieY�e it woLilcl not create a special privileee because there are others t�hat h�ve asked for
setbacks. I-Iowever, the staff report indicated that not many have z�eceived a side yard setbacic.
� L3oardinembei• Chon� said he remembers Boardmember Berger maki7�g a passionate at-�umeiit
For a decic ii1 a sicie yard setback as an �rchitect many yeaz-s abo. He kllows t}iis precedence i�as
coine up a lot and tllinks it is znore abolit loolcin� at each individual applicatioll and nlakin�the

Boardmenlbers all agreed tliey could make Finding nnmber 2.

Boardmember Chong saicl in 1oo1<i�l� at the house as it is oriented fi�oill a house tliat did not have
much slm, ihere is clearly a limited ainotnit of outdoor area ai least in the ai-e�s that would have
vier�-. He thinlcs the current outdoor area is all on the eastern side of the house ��>hich means in
tlle late afternoon it �ets darlt and cold with fo;. Havinb an outdoor area �ne can enjoy on the
south-Facing sic�e of the home, �rhere most homes try to utilize, he v��ould make arl argtnnent
there is practical difficulty of xiot havin� an outdoor space adjacent to the holi7e that is not south
or west faeing to be able to catcli aftei-noon sun.
Boardnlember Crescini said the owners could build a 3-foot���ide deck on tl�le side. He thinlcs it is
impoz-tant tl�ey coiinect the decic to the rest of the property which can go at�ound it, so 3 feet is
slcimpy especially if someone is in a«heelc��air or needs asszstance. �-Ie thi7�lcs the Board shoiild
�rant some side yard deck as it is important tllat the owneis be able to go arotind.
Chair Kim commerlted that tlle windows create a seainless indoox/outdoor space.
Vice Cl�air Barringer said lie measured out the table wliich sits next to a ���all of glass but said
obviously they need a bit of space ta circulate in and around a table. However, he did z7ot think
the Board eould tell thein where they can locate fiirnit�ire.
Cl�air Kim eommented that it states that "As mentioned above, decks can enc��oach into the side
setbacic 3 feet" so the o��rners do not have to have a variance if their deck is 6 feet ��ride.
Ms. 0'Malley clarified that this means only 3 feet can eneroach into the side setback.
Chair Ki1�1 thought they could have a line parallel to tl�at brade out area, and �vhile she did not
measure the distance between the dashed line and the encroaching area or setback, she askecl if
they could theia bo 3 leet into that.
Ms. O'Malley said no; tlle dark line is the setbacic and tliey can only eizcroach 3 feet.
Chai1- Kirn asked and con�rmed the F3oard could make Finding nunlber 3 that it would result in
practical difficulty.
Re�ardin� I�indin� number 4 that granting of the var•iance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injlirious to othet-properties in the vicii7ity:
Vice Chaiz-Barz�izlgez-questioned who would be injured by the proposal from any impacts.
Chair Kim thought it was a ma�nitude issue. �'llile there «�ill be some impact, s11e did not thinl:
it�vould be necessarily harsh.
Boardinember Crescini cominented tl�at it is located izi a place that ��,�ill least impact the
neighbor, so if they try to use ai�other space it mibht be closer to the neibhbor. Therefore; he
could make Finding number 4.

Vice Chair Barrinbe� sub�ested a 10-�oot deck which ��ould Ieave � feet to the pro�erty line and
� a bit moi-e developed landscape plantiilb plali icielltifying species that wolild �ro«� in height and
pz�ovide screenir�g as appro��riate.
� �3oardnlember Chong said his concern woulc� be any planting that ��rould be high enough to
� actually screeil there is going to then prohibit some of the vieti�s.
I3oardmen7ber Crescini said the Board has not discussec! the fence height at the raised p�tio, so
he tllillks il�is is ��here tlie vegetation comes in to solve the pz-obiem. He thinks pz-ivacy issues for
the patio would be mitigated by the applicant pi•ovidinb a landscape plazi with some planting foi•
screenin�. The 3 feet will be enough to sci-een fi-om the propcl-ty but �vhen going to the site tllere
� is really nothing to scz•een because the gai�age is 2 feet fr�orli tlle propei�_v line.
Chait�Kim asl<ed about how Boardmez�iber Crescini felt about the 9 foot variance.
Boat�dmember Cz�escini voiced his suppoi-t but also said he woulcl agree �vith other
Boardn�embers for a i•eductior� of the deck variance.
Chair Kim said she believes the deek i�eecls to sE;t t�aelc fiartl,er Fi�om the prc�perty line b��ause
there is sti11 a lot of property space. What helps is there is cantinuous space iiiterioz� to interior so
there is roozn to shave back some of the 9 feet in variance by another 3 feet.
Boardmenzber Crescini said if tllere were no complaints fron�i the neighbor, he would allow it.
The point is that the ileiglibors can look at eveiything below and so the privacy impacts are truly
for the applicant's house.
Chair Kim sait� her coiitention is that wheil the Board allo���s for structures to be bt�ilt so close to
the property line it is usually in a more dense area. Here, this is les� dense ancl to be so close to
the property line is problematic.
Boardmember Chonb argued that there is a c�rporl and �arabe that is set just as close. He
deseribed the area and thinks pulling it bacl< 2 feet does not accomplish anythi�ig. If the Boarcl is
able to make the findings for the variance, l�e did not tl�inlc it �ti-ould cause any additional privacy,
vietiv or sound impacts.
Vice Chair Ba1-rince�- said he �vas suggesting a 10-foot �vide cleck so there is a 4-foot path of
travel, and then there is still enough space for a dining table or seating group, He thinl<s it will
� limit the number of people out there a bit more �nd will dr���� more of the lctivity away from the
l�eighbor. �-Ie lcnows 2 feet does not seeln like a lot but it would push tlie conbregatiz�g area a bit
more away.
� Chair Kim commented that the home froi�l the street level is pretty illassi��e. St1e kliows the
� property line is awlc��az•d there aTid it does not Ioolc like it is hittin� the fi�ont setbacl< but the
� structure will be huge when driving by. It could c�it back the nzassiveness on the side setback just
to give a little relief.

�3oarclinember Chong commeiited that it is not al��,rays about the ntulzei-ical a5pects of setbacks.
Clearly, when lookinb at the property line it is in the middle of the road; but it is �lot t11e rigllt
thing to do to coine out to it.
Chair Kin1 swlimai-ized there was one potential condition for the applicant 10 �vorl< ���itt� st�ff on
the planting plazl. Secondly, the Board is still questioninb ���hether the side setback should be
increased for a 12 foot deck versus a 9 or 10 foot deck. Personally, sl�e thinks a couple of feet
tivould help a bit.
Boardmember Chong stated that if there was a inotion to pull bacic the side part of the deck 2 leet
he asked if Chair Kim would be amenable, and Cl1ai��Kim coirfirmed.
Ms. O'Malley asl<ed the F3oard what they thought about tlle louvers ovez� the master bedroom
�vindo�u and reduction of window in the gym.
Chair Kim voiced her suppori.
Vice Chair Barringer said in this case the louvers are oriented so tlle applicai�t maii�tains their
creat view and it also provides complete privacy fi-om the neighbor looking iilto the master
bedroonl.
Boardmember Crescini agreed.
Chair Kim noted the louvers are not in �17e drawings and suggested they be included, She also
said tl�e gyzil window is not incltitded in the plans, which was me�ztioned b5� the architect.
Ms. O'Malley suggested a condition that the gyn� window on the eastern side be reduced fr�om 6
x 6 feet to 4 x 3 feet.
Chair Kiz�� also noted the landscaping is not defined in the plans fot- the stepped plantel�s a»d
asked that this be deFined as well.
Ms. O'Malley said the applicant is to provide a landscaping plan to provide screeriin� on tlie east
side of the property to be reviewed and approved by planninb division stafi�prior to the issuance
of a building permit.
�It ��as iv1/S (Chona/Crescini) to deterinine that the pa-oject is exempt fi-oin t17e provisions of t11e
California �nvironmental Quality Act (CEQA); that the Board makes thc required findinbs to
approve the variance and project as proposed with direction to staff to return witli a resolution for
consideration at the next meeting with additional conditions to 1) reduce the gym ��indow on tlie
eastern side from 6 x 6 feet to � � 3 feet; 2) provide a Iandscaping plan to provide screening on
the east side of the property to be reviewed a��d approvecl b}� plannin� staff��rior to the. issua�lce
of a buildina perinit; 3) Keduce the east side� deck b}� 2 feet; 4) add privacy louvers over the

� Ms. 0'Nlalle;� st�ted �this itein is coiziilig to tlie DRB because a Boardnie�nber �sked about the
use of story poles. For discussion toni�ht is whetller story poles need to be connected via ribbon,
caution tape, etc. Per the zoninb code; a�lly story poles that are appealed to the "I'own Council
must be connected; however, it is up to the I3oard to provide staff with direction to see Inore
projects coiuzected.
Vice Chair Barz•inger observed that he llas seen pi�ojects not require story poles and through the
process they have not needed a survey. He reFen-ed specific�lly to the �-Iawthoi-ne Drive project
because of its size, and stated the project is nearing its end and a survey was zlow being
requested. He questioned if the Plannin� De�artn7ent could instead impleinent a rule that if
�
someone is within a certain number of feet from a setbacl: a suivey would be required.
Ms. rJ'Malley clarified tl�at:
l. All new�lomes must be stu�veyed by a licensed sur�reyor;
2. The Building Division requirements for certification are completely different.
3. If a project is approved at the staff level the majorit}� of projects do not require story
poles unless there is a potential impact and staff mav request they be installed.
4. Story poles are always required for all Board reviewed applications, and the questior�
tonight is �uhether the�� should be connected or not.
5. Tl�e Tiburon Municipal Code (TMC) Sectioi� 16-50050 governs the use of story poles.
Vice Chair Bat�ringer and Boardmeniber Berger botl� agreed with the need to connect story poles
for major changes such as in roof pitch, ridbelines and eave lines which they briefly described.
Board discussion ensued regarding whether or not to give staff discretio�l as to when story poles
� need to be connected, whether staff could be given authority to encourage applicants to install
thenl, allowiz�g staff to let applicants know that the �3oard highly encourages having connections
and that this would be up �to the applicant, and tivhet�ier or �1ot the Boaz•d requires a separate stor��
pole plan and connection as it �i•ovides nlore infoi-mation and it is easier for the Board and
neigllbors to identify height, bull<, �nass and measurements.
Boardmembers unaniinotiisly voiced support to ask tliat applicants coiu�ect story poles with tape,
and Ms. 0'Malley con�irmed tl�at stafl will let applicants know that the Board stroizgly
encourages story poles to be connected.

RE:Appeal of decision of Design Review Board to approve site plan and architectural review and
variance for 1707 Vistazo West(Resolution 2019-07 with conditions of approval)
Dear Ms. Fredericks,
We are writing in response to the appeal that was filed by Ms. Zeynep Akon and her attorney Mr. Paul
Smith. It is disappointing that Ms. Akon filed an appeal because my clients, Lisa Edwards and Chuck
Hornbrook, made several attempts to work with Ms. Akon prior to the original submission. It is also
unfortunate because the Design Review Board made a carefully informed decision to approve the
project on a vote of 4-0 with conditions based on the information provided to them at the time of the
original hearing. Furthermore,the project was well received by the neighborhood in general and there
were many letters of support.
We would like you to know that we worked with staff on multiple changes prior to the design review
hearing, eliminating two other variance requests. Additionally,there are four specific conditions of
approval that arose as a result of the Design Review hearings. (Since the changes are conditions of
approval, they do not show up on the printed/distributed sets of drawings, however they are shown in
the figures in this document.) Three of these conditions were volunteered by us once we were made
aware of the neighbor's concerns for privacy, and they include:
1. Adding landscape screening inside the existing fence along the common property line.
2. Adding privacy louvers on the eastern facing master bedroom window
3. Reducing the size of the eastern facing gym window
The fourth condition of approval was suggested by the Design Review Board. This condition is to reduce
the width of the new deck by two feet for a five-foot side setbacl<. The reduced setback is the sole
reason for the variance for the project, as the required setback is twelve feet for a deck. This reduction
was suggested by the Design Review Board (DRB) out of respect to the zoning requirements and so as
not to set a precedent, not because of an impact on privacy to 1711 Vistazo West. Figure 1 shows the
area of the approved deck by the DRB. The variance area is a small portion of the overall deck due to
permitted deck projections and portions of the deck that are less than 3 feet above grade and
therefore are not classified as `structures' by the zoning code.
, , Page 1 of 5
Please note that the Design Review Board would not have approved the variance if there was a
negative impact on privacy to anyone due to the construction of the deck. The last finding made by
the Design Review Board states: 'The deck would be located on a lower elevation than the neighboring
property at 1711 Vistazo West Street. In addition, the deck would be screened by new landscaping and
an existing garage structure; therefore, the main level deck would not be detrimental to the public
welfare of the adjacent neighbor.'
Please see the following four figures that demonstrate how the change in elevation between the
properties and the location of the existing non-conforming garage on the neighbor's property will insure
privacy between the new decl< and the neighbor's house.
• Figure 1 is a plan view showing the deck and the area of the variance
• Figure 2 is an overhead view of 1707 and 1711 Vistazo West properties
• Figure 3 is a photograph showing the relationship of the existing houses to each other
• Figure 4 is a rendering showing the proposed deck with the neighbor's house beyond

The photo above is taken from inside the window in question. We recognize and agree with this
issue. At the Design Review hearing we provided a solution which was accepted by the DRB and
made a condition of approval. The solution is to add vertical louvers which will not allow for
visual contact between this window and the neighbor's house. This is also in the best interest of
Lisa and Chuck as they do not want the neighbor to look directly into their bedroom,which is
downslope of the neighbor. Below is a rendering from the view of Ms.Akon's property showing
the proposed louvers. Please note that the amount of glazing on the upper floor is actually
reduce�from 117square feet to 105 square feet as part of this project.

The front yard at 1711 Vistazo West is a steeply sloped hillside in front of the garage and
driveway. You can see from the Google overhead diagram on figure 2 that the front yard is in
the front setback,therefore future construction is not permitted in this area and this is not a
privacy issue.
_ . ,, Page 3 of 5
2. The deck design leaves only 3 feet to the property line which minimizes privacy and alters the
spacious look of RO-2 zoning.
The DRB changed the setback to 5 feet instead of 3 feet as a condition of approval, and the
property owners have accepted the compromise mandated by the DRB.As we state in the
opening of this letter and demonstrate with the attached figures and photos,the setback of the
deck does not affect privacy for the neighbor because of the elevation change between the two
houses and the existence of the non-conforming detached garage on Ms. Akon's property that
sits directly between the approved deck and her house, two feet from the property line.
Regarding the zoning,the DRB made the findings to approve the variance for the reduced
setback for the deck, in large part because of two things that are directly related to Ms. Akon's
property:
• Because it is clear that the deck is not detrimental to the public welfare of the adjacent
neighbor and their privacy.
• Because the reduced side setback is not a special privilege in the vicinity. Ms. Akon's
property has existing non-conforming structures on both sides that extend into the side
setbacks, her garage is approximately 2 feet from the property line.This devalues Ms.
Akon's request for the protection of the spaciousness of RO-2 zoning.
Mr.Smith's comments are in a letter sent to Senior Planner Kyra O'Malley October 30:
1. The deck will become an active use area and is placed way to close to(Ms.Akon's]living
space. Night time deck use will create a tremendous light pollution problem.
We've demonstrated how the deck is not placed close to Ms. Akon's living space (difference in
elevation and neighbor's garage location). See figure 3. Proposed exterior lighting is minimal,
only as required by building code adjacent to exterior doors and walkways, and will be restricted
to shaded downlighting, as is required by zoning code.
2. The proposed plan elevates portions of the side yard such that the new active use area would
be much closer to(Ms.Akon's]family room/office and will reduce the fence height.
This is referring to an on-grade landscape patio and not the deck. This work is minimal in nature
and doesn't require design review approval or even a building permit. Regardless, we suggested
adding screening landscaping adjacent to this patio and in addition to Ms. Akon's existing laurel
plantings at the hearing which was made a condition of approval. (See figure 1)
3. The master bedroom window is aimed directly at Ms.Akon's front door landing and/iving
room entry way window.
We have addressed this issue with privacy louvers, please see the previous page.
4. Ms.Akor►requests the denial of the proposed expansior� of the 3'd floor window direct/y across
from her living room/office.
We addressed this issue at the design review hearing by offering to reduce the size of the
window from 6'-6" tall to 4'-3"tail. This is a condition of approval. Any further reduction would
be overly restrictive and would affect emergency egress from this room. Please note, as
previously mentioned,the proposed amount of upstairs glazing will be less than the existing
with this project.
5. Ms.Akon objects to the conversion of side windows to doors accessing the new proposed,
elevated deck due to obvious privacy and noise impacts.
This comment may show a lack of understanding of the proposed project. New doors are
located at the new deck; however, this deck is significantly lower than the existing patio, not
elevated. It is important to point out that the new deck will actually displace outdoor use
further away from Ms. Akon's house, as compared to the existing patio location. See figure 1.

We hope that you've had a chance to read the staff report or notice of DRB action. In the report, staff
findings for 16-52.020(A) Purposes and 16-52.020(H) Guiding Principies demonstrate that staff is
positive about the project as a whole. We also hope that you have had a chance to visit the project site
and view the story poles and their relationship to the neighbor's house. Chuck and Lisa would be
pleased to have you by if you would like to see more from their house or the rest of their property.

B55 a. �(��iburon lies near several ea�-thqual<e faults, incl��dii�g tl�e vei�y active
856 San Andreas F�ult and the Hayward Fault, and there are si�nificant
857 E�otential hazards such as road closures, tires, collapsed buildi�lgs.
858 and isolation ofresidents requirin� assistance.
859 b. Much of the Downtown commercial area is located on bay alluvial
8 60 soils. which are subject to liquefaction in the event of an earthqual<e.
861
8 62 3. "To�o��raphic conditions:
8 63 a. Much of Tibui�on is located in steep, hilly areas; many of the
8 64 residential areas are l�eavily landscaped; a��d many exist adjacent to
865 hilly open space areas which are eharacterized by diy vegetatioi� and
866 have limited access. ln addition, the steep��ess of grades located in
86'7 the hills and dales results in narrow and windi��� roads, ai�d limited
868 �-vatei� supply.
869 b. Thc major arterial �-oute between Tiburon and U. S. l-lighway 101 is
870 Tib�n-on Boulcvard (State Highway 131). Should that hi;hway
871 become ii��passable, the only alternative roadway on and off the
872 Peninsula is Paradise Drive, a narrow, winding i-oad easily s�ib.ject to
873 closure in storms and havi��g an extensive history of lanc failures due
874 to iu�stable soils and poor d�-ainage. Z,his wou(d result i�� traftic

SUMMARY
To adopt revisions to the Accessoiy Dwelling Unit and Junior Accesso►y Dwellinb Units
regl�lations (and repeal the'Town Council Resolution 42-2018 that define Aceessory Uwellinb Unit
a��d Junior Accessor�� Dwelling Unit sta��dards) and allow tiny home reside»tial code revisions, �is
recommended by the Alanninb Commissioil.
R�COMMTND�D ACTION(S)
1. Move to read by tit�le only and introduce the o�-dinance waiving further reading.
2. Hold a roll call vote on the introduction. �
BACKGROUND
The Galil�ornia Le«islature passed tive(�) bills in 2019 that have substantive effects on the eaisting
regulatory i�ramcworl: for accessory d�-velling units and junior accessoiy d���ellii�g units. �111 five
bills. speciticall}�. AB 6b, SB 13. /1f3 f��l. /\I3 587. and f1B 670 �vere sibned by the Governor in
Oct'ober, 2019 anci �vill become el-fective January 1. 2020. Cities and counties tl�roughotit the State
are now amendin« their zonin�r ordinances in respoi�se to the i�e��� la�vs. The beneral purpose of
the legislation was to E�rovide additional opportunitie� for affordable housin� in California.
Prior to 2003. secondary dwellin�� ui�it applications �-vere subject to a conditional use permit
pr�ocess in the �Town of �l�iburon. In 2016. three bills wei�e signed by the bovernor to requirc
secondaiy d��-elling units to be called "Accesso�y D���clling Units�� (ADU). I�� Towi� 1-egulations.
such units are defi��cd ��enerally as ii�dependent, selt=co��taii�ed d���ellinb units, which may be
attached oi-detached from a primaiy �n�it ai�d may be constructed in single-family residential zones
and/or in multi-famil��� residential zones subject to local discretion. ADUs are stron��ly encow-a��ed
ai�d facilitated by thc state and are supported by the ��own throubh General Plan policies. ln
�.l1lLl.t1"V'�J,���7n
�iddition, th�To���n Council adopted an ordinance for Junior�ccessory D�.vellin�� Ui�its (JADU) in
2015. Z'o dat�. no applicatioi�s for a J�DU have been tiled in Tiburon. n fe��� �DU applications
�u�e hled each ye�r.
. "Th� ne�a� State ADU laws provide that all ADUs and JADUs must be revie�-ved mii�isterially by
local jurisdictions who must act on an complete ADU application within 60 days of receipt. Th�
State I�ws also require substantive revisions to the Town's regulations ��overnin�� ADUs and
� JnDUs. ii�cludin�7 new and modified detinitio��s �lnci clarifications ot� ��evie�-v and tim�li��es fo�•
� actions. The cw���ent design and development standards applicable to /�DUs are set �forth by
Resolution. Because the State ADU and JADU laws require all stand��rcls regardi»�� review,
approvaL denial, processing and development of ADUs ai�d JADUs to be set I�orth in an
ADU/JnDU ordinance, staft�recommends that this resolution (Town Council Resolution 42-2018)
be repealed. Those stai�dards which are consistent �vitl� the State nDU laws have been
incorporated into the proposed ADU ordinance.
NI?W STATE LAWS
ns noted above. the State �dopted a variety of laws for ADUs and J�1DUs. A s�m�mnr�� of the
� ch�nges is provided as �xhibit 4.
nccessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
"I�he tollowinb is a list of some of the provisions of the new State ADU la���s.
• Permits for ADl1 and Junior ADUs must be reviewed ministerially (No Desi�rn Revie��)
• Timc; to act on permit application is 60 days
o Concurrent with applicatioi� for buildii�b new single-f�mily ci�-vellin��
� Must allo�v ADUs in areas zoiled to allow sinble family and multitamily residential uses
s Owner occupai�cy i-ec�ui�-e�nents 1re not� pe�����itted
� Jurisdictio��s may prohibit rentals of less than 30 days in all ADUs
• Jurisdictions may allow the separate s�le or conveyance of an �DU from a primary residence
if it �vas constructed by a q��alitied non-profit organirlCion
• Jurisdictions cai� regulate pai-1<ing, height, setbacl< landsc�ipe. architect�n-al revie���, ma�imum
unit size and sCandards that prevent adverse impacts on anv real property that is listed in the
Califori�ia Register of Historic Reso�u-ces; as lon« as these local stai�dards are consistent�-vith
T{1C' Sl1t� �1�V�S.
s Jurisdiction is prohibited fi�om enforcin� minim�m� lot sire requircments; lot c��vera<�e
requirement� are stiil allowed
� Setb�cl: rcquirements are limited
� s Minimum �ind ma�im�m� size requirements are outlinecl for ministerial revie���
• Parl<ing eequircmenTs are outlined
Specific To�-�m Documents Requirin� Amendment
The "I�o�vi1 documents req�iiring amendment are:
I. Various sectioi�s of the 7onin�� Ordinance (Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code). in�ludin«
definitions. regulations ��overninb ADUs and JADUs. tables an�l othcr miscellaneous
sections referencinb ADUs/JADUs.
2. "I'he To��n Cou��cil resolutions establishing "standlyds" for review and approval ol�ADUs
and JADUs. Due to tl�e i�at�u-e o�f the new state laws, tl�ere will no��� be t�vo separate sets
Jnnuar��l�,Z��il
of standards for ADUs/.I/\DUs. �l�hese stai�dards will be outlii�ed in tl�e Ordinance and not
in a resolution. "The fiirst will <�ovcri� /1DUs ���hei-e new constructioi� or additions oi� internal
conversions of existing tloorspace are involved; the secoi�d will «overn exclusive JADUs
(�-�hich are another type of ADU involvin<� conversion of existing iloor space.)
In addition. the Plannin<� Commissioi� confiirmed staffi's reeommendatio�� that the To�vn Council
adopt the Tiny Homes pi�ovisions (Appendix Q 2019 Reside��tial Code)t�o be applied to ADUs and
JADUs, see Txl�ibit 2, Attachn�ent B. As such the Building Code (Chapter 13) �-vould also need
to be ai��ended in the fiuture. �I�hese provisions would allow for flexibility in terms of the desi��n of
ai� ADU/JADU.
PLANNING COMMISSION R�COMMENDATION
On December 9. 2019 during a specia) meeti��g, the Plan��i��g Coi��missio» held a hea��ii��� on the
proposed Ordii�ance. The Commission identified eoneerns regarding the loss of local control.
inability to utilize tl�e dcsign review process foi-certain ADUs and JADUs (, i��creases i�� density.
loss of parking and <,�ara«es. potential changes to the character of the Town, parking, and fiire safeh�.
Staff eaplai��ed that the State Laws limit�ecl the level ofi-egulation that local agencies are allowed.
By adopting the revised ordina��ce (and repealing Tow�� Co�u�cil Resolutioi� 42-2018). the To�-vn
of Tib�u�on can adopt Ob.jective Standa��ds for ADUs a��d .IADUs. Whether or not ihe 'l,o�-vn
Council adopts the revised Ordinance, the State Laws would pree�npt those portions of the To��m's
existin� ADU reg��lations �vhich are incoi�sistent with State ADU laws. The 7��own may establish
ADU regulations, includinb development ai�d desib�� standards i�� those a�-eas that tl�e State ADU
laws speciiic�lly reserve to local abe��cy discretioi�. By adoptinb this revised ordinance, the To�-vn
would have the ability to codi�fy objecti��e desigi� standards foi- ADUs and JADUs that ���ould
require only i�iinisterial review.
In addition to the objecCive desibn stai�dlyds proposed by staff. the Planning Comn�ission also
recommended the following chan�es:
s Address the t��vo comme��ts in the letter from Californians for 1-Ion�eo��n�ership (�xhibit�)
� • Consider requirin�� tire e�:tinguishers in eveiy room.
• Clarily objectivc design standards section and note the objective desigi� st�ndards are not
intended to limit tl�e guai�anteed allowanee section at the be��ini�ing of the object desi�rn
standard section.
• Staff to revic�-v car share definition ai�d apply appropriately.
"l�o addres�the comments fi-om Calii�ornians for 1-lomeo���nership, stafl�corrected Table I to inclucle
the allo�-vance distinction i�or "detached one bedrooin or less" a��d "detached more than oi�e

chan��es are: provicled in draft ordi��ance (F:xhibit 2, Attaehment A).

Commissioner Tsai in his discussion about the objective desi��n st�lndards. asl:ed abo�it potential
inco���p�tibility with the Site Plan and Architectur�il Revie��� Stanciards. StafFcxplaii�ed that ��e�v
ADU/JADU Ordinance would preempt the Town's e�istin�� Sitc Plan and Architecture Review
standards be�aus� tl��s� st���d��-cls are, i» p��-t; inconsistent� �vith the Srat� la��;s.
� After the Planning Coinmission Hearii�g, staff reviewed the prcviously adopted To�vn Council
Resolution. Most ofthe previously adopted stai�dards are discretionar�� as written. flrchitectural
Style may be too broad to be distilled into an objectiv� desi��n stanclarcl: hi��vever. mltching roof
pitch. window details and trim details would be an allo�-vable obje:ctive standard, if�s�ich standai•ds
� were drafted an applied in an objective manner �vhich would not i�equire discretion on the part of
� the decision mal<er. These stand�u-ds are provided in thc recommencieci oi-dinance.

RE: Dece���ber 9, 2019 Planning Commission MeeCing. Agenda Item PH-3
"l�o tl�e Planning Commission:
C�lifocnians for Homeownership is a 501(c)(3) non-proiit organization devoted to usinb
legal tools to address California's housin�r crisis. 1 am �-vritin��as part ufour���orl< monitoring local
compliance with California's laws rebardii�g accessory dwellii��� units (nDUs).
At vour December 9 meeting, you will discuss amendmenls to the Citv's �DU ordinance
to address recenC state ADU bills, including SB 13 (Wiecl<o�vsl<i). AB 68 (Ting), and AB 881
(Bloom). These bills broadly overhaul state /1DU la���. and they nullify any local ordi��ance that
does not strictly comply with their reqt�irements. Section 1.5 of AB 881 provides tl�e iinal version
ofthe state ADU law that will become operative on January I. ?0�0.
Starf have prepared a draft ordinance that �ims to bring tl�e city into compliai�ce with the
revised version of Section 65852.2. If the City adopts a compliant ADU ordii�ance, it would
become one of the first cities in Califoi-nia to �li�n its law with thc new state ADU la��_. Nowever,
we have idcntified a couple of concerns about the draft ordii�ance:
• The draft ordin�nce requires one pai�l<ing space per bedrooi�� oi�the ADU. �l�his needs
to be adjusted to reql�ire a maaimum of one parl<ing spa�e total. If the Citv's development
standards ordinli�ily require parl<ing spots t�o be covered or enclosed. or limit their arran�ei��ent' in
a ���ay that is incompatible with the provisions in thc state /\DU la�v. the clratt ordinan�e must also
be adjusted to provide exemptions fi-om those standards. Gov. Code � 6�8�?.�(a)(I)(D)(x).
� The draft ordinance sets a lower ���aximum unit sizc fior detached ADUs. �I�his is not
allowed. �I�he limits on ma�imLm� unit size in the rcvised state /�DU law exp�-essl�� ap�ly to both
attachcd and detached ADUs. The City must allo�� up to I.000 square i�eet for detached ADI1s
�a-ith more tha�� one bedroom. Gov. Code � 65��2?(c)(2)(B).

34 laws specitic to ADUs and JDUs that go into efifect January I, 2020. There are 3 in particul�r
35 that have lhe m��st im;�act ����I t� s«����»��•� is ���•ovide� in F�I,ibit 3 oftl�e parl:et.
36
37 One of the most notable ch�nges is that n�� discretionary perinit such as design review or use

I flexibility to ��se small spaces. Statf is avail�ble to ans��-er questions, and he directed the
2 Gommission's attention to late mail which is printed and before the Commission.
�
�
4 Chair Ai��ir said this is a state la�� so lhe Coi��mission is somewhat limited to objective desi��n
5 standartls ancl recommendin« those to the "l�o��m Council ai�d that they adopt thc draft ordinance.
6
7 Comi��issioi�er Woodward referred to the late i��ail that l'iburon would be the tirst to adopt
8 objective design standards_ and asl<ed if other municipalities have adopted ordinances.
9
10 Mr. Fll�shman said this becoi��es State law on Januarv I. 20?0 and tl�e Towi� needs to coin�ly
1 I �nd those provisions of tl�e ordinance that may b� i�� conflict could be in jeopardy of being null
12 and void. I-Te asl<ed t'hat the Com���ission malce ai��� recommendations or point to any coneerns
13 with the pi�ovisions whicl� ��ill then be tal:en to thc Council for their consideration.
14
I S Co���missioner Tsai said it would be helpful to address the two potentia) concerns outlined in the
16 late mail.
(7
I 8 Mr. Flushman stated he revie�ved those and as for the f iest one relating to off-sCreet parki»b ther-e
19 is a word play there in the section. It seems the sCatement is likely pa��tly correct and prior to the
20 Council's review, he suggested mal.ing changes to accommodate the off-st��eet parl<ing ite�T�. 1-�e
21 said the law states it be one off-street pa��l<ing space pe�� bedroom or per ADU. The Towi�'s
22 ordinance states "per bedroom'' so this should be made explicit to match.
�;
24 As for the other- item, tl�e Tow�� does need to cot�rect the floor area table. Wher•e it states
25 '`detached" and where tl�ere is moi-e th�n one bedi•oom. those �i�e required to be 1,000 squ�re feet
26 and the Coi��mission shou(d malce these chan17es.
�7 �
28 Chair Ainir and Commissioners agreed those two are reasonable ai��endments. Chair Amir stated
29 unfortunately, I�e understands why the state is doi��g this but communities lilce Tiburon could
30 have a nebative it��pact in teri�is of dei�siry_ in-la�a% units. etc. but he recognized thcy must do the
31 best they can to I<eep the character of the �To���n ancl nei��hborhoods despite the sCaCe law. Parking
32 is defiinitely oue ofthose items to tal<e into considc;ration.

5 I-Ie added lhese items to �ddress potential concerns Chat cotild come about with just a mii�isterial
6 process 1-or nDUs. ile did not Iv�ow ifi these were specifically in the current resolution that tall<s
7 about limitations and he thinics roo�f color or hlving it i��atch is implied in the design revie�v
8 process. i�lso. in (ool:ing �lt "R''. ail of these items would norm�lly i�equire discretionary review,
9 so staft�a�anted to remove those elements ofwl�at wouid be allowed ministerilliy.
10
11 Coi��mission�r Tsai said stafif is tiying to inalc� sure this does not uninCentionally creat�
12 incompatibility ���ith current desi�n reviev�� standards. He wondered if there was langua��e that
13 could be ii�corporatecl that ���oul�� ensure this is not incompatible with what the Town's c�u-rent
14 stand�rds w�er-e tor design revie��v. He was not sure what those would be necessarily, but he
I S wants to avoid creating �l new-set of standards Chat will end L�p being different.
I6
17 Mr. l�won s[ated this would not be different All of these limitations �vould onl�� affect the
� 18 ministerial process and not the design review process. Ifi an ADU applicant proposed ar�vthing
19 other than these thin«s it ��voi�ld I:icl< it into tl�e design r�eview_}�roeess.

22 Houses. �

24 Mr. 1Cwon stated the Building Ofticial wanted to 111ow for some flexibility for some of the
25 smaller spaces. In the Building Code, when pr�oposing stairs they must l�ave � c�rt�in rise and
?6 rtin. They c�lnnot have lo�fts because thei-e is a certain ceiling i�eight and othee design p�rameters.
27 This is ��hv t17e i�uilciit�� Ofticiai vvantecl so�i�e f(exinility in terrns of ailowing ihe �t�iny House
28 code sections to be applied to ADUs so the space could be utilized more efficientiv and
29 effectively. Sc�. it it is a way to encourage ADUs since this is trttly what the staCe wants to do.

31 Vice Chair Defcver asl<ed if it gives the Town more opportunity to review what they are l��ol<in��
32 at ptittin�� un the property.
,-,
J_)
34 Mr. K�von said no; these are ministerial standards and it would not have any desi«n revie��-
3� implications. (t ���ould relate to building sCandards and helps the Building Offici�l because tl�e
36 �ldded code is bcin�� added to [he r�esidential code.
37
35 Ch��ir Amir refer��ed to Number 1 1 under tire sprinl<lers, and s�id they are not required in �n
39 ADU if� [he�� are not required in �the primary d��elling unit. He 1s1<ed �vhy the Town �loes not
40 �a.ant to require these re��ardless ��f�the primal-y ci��ellinb unit.
41
4? Mr. I<�von stated this w�as in the �tate code and the Commission cannot requir�e it in the ADU if it
43 is not required for the main house. �I�he ration�le from the state is that �re sprinl<lers add to the

I 1 this was in the adoption but thcre is publir U-ansit ���ithit� one-half mile ofeveiything in Tiburon.
12
13 Mr. Kwon confirmed it is included in the proposed ordinance. The way staff would measure one-
14 half mile walicing distance is by path oi�travel and not by circula��distance. It would have to be a
15 case-by-case �n�lysis where path oi�tr�vel is revie��ed from the bus stop to the actual ADU.
1C
17 Vice Chair Defever said if this is the case and ifi they are withii� one-half inile there would be no
