I NOV 12 LU.I o =J TOWN CLERK TOWN OF TIBURON DIGEST November 12, 2015 We are homeowners from East Terrace Court in the Reedlands. Some of us lived here back when both Blackie and Whitey were in the pasture; some of us are new. Blackie's Pasture is very dear to all of us because it is, almost literally, in our front yards. The pasture is our southern view and it's where we walk and jog and play with our children and dogs, and picnic. We are pleased that Mayor Doyle has taken Blackie's Pasture under his wing and has planned improvements. This seems like an opportune time to ask the council to revisit an issue that was before the Tiburon Town Council in 2001-2002, but never satisfactorily resolved. There is a tall cottonwood tree on the shoreline to the west of Blackie's statue that has grown so large that it obstructs our views and almost totally blocks some views of the city. It was not planned or planted but instead is a "volunteer" from the late 1970's that was not part of the original waterfront design. See Figures 1 and 2 showing how this tree, which was not in views in 1982, grew rapidly in ensuing years to 2001, when a number of us asked the council to have the tree removed so we would get our views back. The council recommended removing the top 15 ft. of the tree, but the town engineer decided it would be better to thin it instead of topping. After thinning, it rapidly grew back taller and bushier than before as can be seen in the seven photos attached, taken recently from different homes on East Terrace, while it was losing its summer leaves. The correspondence from 2001 regarding the tree trimming is also included. We again request that the offending tree be removed so that our views of San Francisco and the Bay can be restored. The tree is surrounded by smaller, lower trees that will retain the park -like atmosphere if the cottonwood is removed. The wonderful views make Tiburon such a special place to live. We try to be good neighbors and considerate of other's views and hope the Town of Tiburon will do the same. Thank you for your consideration in resolving this view issue for us. If you have any questions please contact Michael Hancock, (415) 381-4772. Sincerely, See attached signatures Cc Tova Adelman, President Reedlands HOA PS: According to Garden Know How website: Cottonwoods are the fastest growing trees in North America and can grow to over 100 ft. tall. This massive species is prone to disease and has been banned from planting in many U.S. cities. http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/cottonwood/cottonwood-tree-in- landscapes.htm Printed Name • / C O G Address !y!� d C` Ste'— i C-,ed'1 t Signature U U k, tc,Ct-c-- C�- �? . 4-- a� csA, k � 2 o ��4s � ��a A c � .,S61,j Ge_1�4�5 _l----' "-- ijelhil--c-c-Cs4-- ./d -c10-b' ii74_,,,e, 1-31-\ Q.C\tU-N-SL 615-r-T r cu. c---vp_z_______ s,._,y,l,' , it t-Vou 1' dil- ' 1 Tina Oavis 6 Ects- 1-errac e_ 42c / d 1�" � ►S 1) '4,/ 5hOJL Riee a Ea3-1 ),Jf / caohy (_01,..,2)A 12 1 a-S 4- Tort, c.. 4 1 ,, Art la) ue 4 f' 's 2 M eyy -, Printed Name Address Signature UV a- kit M GUS kW l S EASrt Zf C£ 12- A/1ff atfak, J f I-cz ,` ) 7� �c camar---r-gAZ/17- LArtetgal 50i"riessi-ek' 11 '-(:)Si-- i e a _ 11-- g.9F7 e ---r- t ' y'LJs � (. N G f t December 22, 2001 Mr. Tom Gram Town of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 Subject: Blackie's Grove: Removal of Cottonwood Tree Dear Tom: We seek your support of the Parks and Open Space Commission's recommendation to remove the Cottonwood tree in Blackie's Pasture, as part of the plan to create Blackie's Grove. You are probably aware that there have been several hearings regarding the proposal to plant a number of trees near the waters edge at Blackie's Pasture. The planning effort for the grove has been led, admirably, by Larry Smith, and the plantings are to be funded by the TPF. The original plan was withdrawn because a number of Reedlands and Belveron homeowners objected to the projected size of the proposed trees, and the dense "wall" effect that would be created by the new trees and the existing Cottonwood and its companion Eucalyptus trees. Homeowners agreed that the proposed grove would be acceptable if the new trees could be maintained to a height no greater than 25 feet AND the Cottonwood tree were removed. There is a very good reason for the qualified approval. No fewer than 5 homeowners on East Terrace have had their views of the Bay obstructed by the volunteer Cottonwood tree, which is at least 50 feet tall, and has had remarkable growth in the last 5 years. The enclosed photos reveal that, when we moved to the Reedlands in 1977, we had an unobstructed view. It seems only fair and democratic to us that we not be denied our modest views by a volunteer tree on Town lands. This is especially valid, given that there are Town ordinances or guidelines requiring that we maintain our own trees, to accommodate the views of our neighbors. We would welcome a visit by you so that you can gain an appreciation for why the proposed grove would present a problem to us and our neighbors without the removal of the Cottonwood tree. Sincerely, Mike & Val Hancock (415) 381-4772 (home) April 8, 2002 Pat Echols Town Engineer Town of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 Subject: Cottonwood Tree; Blackie's Pasture Dear Pat: Further to the meeting Burt Rutkin and 1 had with you and Dan Watrous, I am pleased to enclose, on behalf of the following East Terrace residents, $875.00, for the "thinning and pruning" of the Cottonwood tree: Joyce Tayer Bill and Deborah Comstock Burt and Marianne Rutkin Mike and Valerie Hancock Mike Daniels We are all prepared to accept your recommendation not to "top" this tree, but understand that, in lieu of topping, your arborist will consider removing some of the larger, more vertical bifurcated branches, with the objective of achieving a target thinning of at least 30% at the crown of the tree. We understand that we may be represented at the thinning, and that we may assist Dan Watrous in establishing which branches should be removed to improve our views of San Francisco and Belvedere Island. We do appreciate your understanding in this matter. We look forward to hearing from you with respect to the proposed tree -thinning date; ideally, this would be sometime after next Wednesday, April 16tH On behalf of the above residents, Sincerely, Michael V. Hancock April 21, 2002 Pat Echols Town Engineer Town of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 Subiect: Cottonwood Tree; Blackie's Pasture Dear Pat: On behalf of the five homeowners mentioned in my letter of April 8, I thank you for organizing the thinning and pruning of the Cottonwood tree, carried out last Thursday. We also wish to convey our thanks to Dave Davenport who, in difficult circumstances, acted fairly and courteously to carry out the Town's instructions. While not the ideal solution from our standpoint, we recognize that the thinning is a compromise, and are grateful for the improvement in our views! Sincerely, Michael V.

The affected territory lies outside the established sphere of influence for the District and a concurrent amendment is necessary to facilitate an annexation. Staff recommends approval of a concurrent sphere amendment and annexation with a discretionary modification to include an additional 0.08 acres of an adjacent public right-of-way. Standard terms are also recommended. The subject parcel is identified by the County Assessor as 100-152-27. 5. Rescheduling of Concurrent Sphere of Influence Amendments and Reorganization to Detach 91 Glenside Way from San Rafael Sanitation District and Annex into Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (no action) The Commission has received a reorganization proposal from an affected landowner seeking the concurrent detachment of unincorporated land at 91 Glenside Way from the San Rafael Sanitation District and annexation to the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District.

Staff recommends approval without a concurrent sphere amendment based on documentation of a pending threat to public health and safety given the current service relationship with a neighboring property is expected to end in the immediate future. Special conditions are also recommended to control uses going forward. The County of Sonoma identifies the two subject parcels as 19-320-10 and 19-320-21. 7.
