DIGEST ~\ TOWN OF TlBURON 1505 Tiburon Boulevard Tiburon, CA 94920 MEMORANDUM Date: February 2, 2007 To: Mayor and Members of the Town Council From: Peggy Curran, Town Manager ~~e~ Subject: Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation Summer Camp Studies As Council will recall, the Belvedere- Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee approached the Town and City of Belvedere last year requesting financial support to commission two separate studies on the Summer Camp program. This is part of what may be a broader analysis to come, a "Community Recreation Needs Assessment". In October of2006 the Town Council agreed to fund 75% ofthe cost of the summer camp studies; the remaining 25% was funded by the City of Belvedere. These reports were provided to the Town this past week. Because the combined reports are lengthy, I asked BTIR Director Bruce Mulder to provide a summary of their findings. His memorandum is attached. The full reports are also available. Thank you. Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation Memorandum: Date: February 1, 2007 To: Peggy Curran, Tihuron Town Manager From: Bruce Mulder, Director Belvedere- Tiburon Recreation Re: Results of Summer Camp Marketing Study Analysis Presented below is a summary of the Playsafe, LLC Summer Camps Marketing Study as well as a summary of the consulting services provided by Barbara Creamer. Playsafe, LLC consultants presented their report to the Belvedere- Tiburon Recreation Committee on January 16,2007. Their report included background information, community and demographic statistics, a summary of current prograrmning, a summary of facilities used and interest of users, competitor analysis, SWOT analysis, gap analysis, forecast and recommendations. A complete copy of the Playsafe report has been provided for your review. A summary of the major conclusions of the study and the reccomendations provided for Belvedere- Tiburon Recreation follow: Playsafe, LLC report Forecast: Given the information gathered from the population study, camp program analysis, facilities review, interest of users and non users, number and type of competitors, strengths and concerns of the existing provision and the resulting gaps, the data does not suggest sufficient market for BTJR camps as currently constituted. The following are the major conclusions of this study: 1. The limited geographical area of Belvedere and Tiburon with the residential build out does not suggest significant existing or new growths markets. 2. The small number of persons per household, limited vacancy rate, total current population and future projected population does not suggest significant new growth markets. 3. The age distribution ofresidents suggests a small, even and perhaps declining population of the camper age population. School age projections suggest a decline unless an unusual shift in population characteristics occurs. 4. The economy of the residents allows parents and caregivers to select from almost all options and therefore there is no financial need to rely on BTJR options. Location and type of camp may be selected by parents solely as a matter of choice and not need. 5. Parents and caregivers have sufficient support options (private clubs, nannies, tutors, vacations) to allow a full range of choices for the camper age youth. 6. The immediate future of camp facilities is an important market concern. Reed School as the more desired site will lose outdoor grass space this summer. Belvedere Park, with some safety concerns, is also a market pressure. 7. The marketing strategy of the past has been effective, but with other competitors in the market, a new school distribution of information policy, the BTJR camps have, to a certain degree, been lost in the mixture of options. 8. A significant shift has occurred in the desire of the parents for the type of camp experience expected. High end, high skill specialty camps are of more interest than traditional, entry skill level experiences. There is a mix of views concerning the quality of the camp experience versus a day care approach to camp design. 9. The quality of the camp, staff, facilities and sense of uniqueness are at a new level and parent expectations are high. It may be too difficult to maintain the camp experience with the level of resources currently available. 10. The revenue ~ expenditure ratio of the camp as currently experienced cannot be maintained without support from non-camp resources. These new dollars may be sponsorships, more effective use of current dollars, support from other programs or an increase of fees. The market may tolerate a fee increase, but an increase in camp quality and experience would need to be evident. 11. The number, type, cost and availability of existing and perhaps new competitors into the camp market require BTJR to respond with a major new enterprise. The current array ofBTJR program options will not maintain market. 12. A multitude of gaps exists between the currently provided BTJR camp offerings and the desires of the primary market. The combined influence of all gaps suggest a limited BTJR camp future. Playsafe, LLC concluded the study by providing three separate recommendations, each are independent and presented in order of preference with an effort to identify possible implications. All three are listed below. BTJRC has decided that recommendation number I makes the most sense and is generally following this direction, so I have included this recommendation in its entirety as stated in the report. 1. BTJR should significantly reduce summer camp offerings to those experiences that are unique to local resources that represent the best of "small town" sense with high-level quality. This recommendation suggests that the professional staff, in association with key user groups, survey the existing summer camp offerings and select and create only those camp programs that utilize local unique and interesting resources. The purpose would be to support programs that youth could only experience because ofthe Belvedere- Tiburon geographic area. With this reduced profile of offerings, the associated fees should represent the resources necessary to design and conduct only "high end" experiences that go beyond standard camp experiences. The associated marketing materials should be presented in such a fashion that the experience is clearly described as unique to the geographic area and interest of the Belvedere- Tiburon area. To supplement the quality of the camp experiences, corporate and business sponsors should be developed utilizing a BTJR Foundation. Local residents, who are associated with successful business enterprises that are located in Belvedere- Tiburon but, more importantly, are associated with the employer's families, should be approached to assist with financial contributions. The BTJR leadership for this reduced camp schedule may not necessarily be full time year round. It is critical that full time part year program development and leadership be in place. The summer staff hired for these unique high end camp experiences should go beyond traditional high school- college age group and be selected based on maturity, camp associated skill sets and long term commitment to the program. The facilities and areas used for the camps must represent an image and tone that coincides with the level of the intended camp experience. The design of the camp experience should be such that the effects of competitors are not an issue. Camp activities, schedules, location, camper to staff ratio, quality of staff and camp cost are elements that will help to create unique market niche. Some decision would be necessary concerning the ratio of the amount of non Belvedere-Tiburon area users to those locals that the BTJR is intended to serve. The camp attendees would in all cases need to go beyond the exclusive BTJR service area. 2. BTJR should, effective immediately, cancel summer offerings and shift their opportunity costs to other more stable and revenue generating options. This is a recommendation with significant impacts. 3. BTJR should increase marketing efforts in an effort to expand the user base, work to control camp expenditures and redesign camp offerings to attract larger market segments. Creamer Consulting Report: Barbara Creamer, former Director of Belvedere-Tiburon Recreation for seventeen years also evaluated summer camp programs and operations and consolidated a report based on her analysis. She then met with both the Chair and Vice Chair of the BTJR committee as well as the Director to go over her findings and recommendations. As part of her evaluation she met with BTJR staff, studied BTJR summer camp documents related to budgets, marketing material, training material, enrollment figures, and program evaluations. In her final report, Creamer evaluates each individual summer camp program and gives suggestions in regards to programming, curriculum, operations, facilities, contracts, policies and procedures and staffing. Creamer gives many suggestions to in her report that are based on her numerous years of experience and familiarity with the department. Her report will be used by staff to evaluate and improve summer camp program operations. 3.

TO: Peggy Curran FROM: Nicholas NguyenP---- CC: Scott Anderson SUBJECT: MMWD Mt. Tiburon Water Tank DATE: January 31, 2007 .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. . . . . .. . . . .. .. . . .. .. . .. . . . MMWD conducted a public meeting yesterday evening, January 30,2007, at Town Hall to present their proposed installation of a second water tank at their Mt. Tiburon location. The new tank is desired to meet new guidelines suggesting that water supply and storage should be equivalent to 2 average summer day usage (ASDU). With the new tank it would be approximately 1.8 ASDU. Approximately 8 people attended, plus 4 members from MMWD. Kevin McDonnell, their senior engineer, made the presentation. The presentation was well received. Two residents had the most concerns: the Wesllesens (101 Mt. Tiburon Rd) and the Alms (further above the tank site). The Westlesens desire tree and shrub coverage to block their view of the tank site. The Alms desire MMWD to prune or remove the pine trees on the site because the trees are unhealthy. Their ultimate desire is to have an unobstructed view. They also object to MMWD's proposal to move the MMWD security fence towards the actual property line, and hence closer to the Alms' property. The other discussion revolved around upgrading other sides of the security fencing. MMWD proposed using black vinyl coated climb-resistant fencing, and would seek to show the residents a sample. MMWD also mentioned that they forward the residents a copy of their environmental impact declaration if this was necessary, as well as having a copy for review at Town Hall. MMWD showed great interest in doing whatever made sense and that would result in an acceptable condition for each resident. A Public Works encroachment permit will be needed for a driveway conform and possibly a building permit to document the construction (as well as recovering street impact fees). A letter from the Westlesens to MMWD is attached. . ..~ , Mary Ellen & Gunnar Wetlesen Mt. Tiburon Property Owners Association 101 Mt. Tiburon Road Tiburon, CA 94920 Tel: (415) 435-1254 Mr. Kevin McDonnell, P.E. Senior Engineer Marin Municipal Water District January 30,2007 220 Nellen Avenue Corte Madera, CA 94925 RE: 99 Y, Mt. Tiburon Road MMWD Water Tank Addition Project Dear Kevin, Thank you very much for meeting with my husband, Gunnar, and me regarding Marin Municipal Water District's (MMWD) proposed Water Tank Addition Project at 99 y, Mt. Tiburon Road. I appreciate you seeing firsthand how changes to the MMWD site have affected and will affect our property. With respect to existing landscaping and to proposed changes we have the following concerns/requests regarding screening/fencing: First, we request fencing that is more residential and eliminates the industrial barbed wire. In addition, we request that MMWD move its fencing at the intersection of our property and MMWD property into the site as much as possible. Currently, there is no access to MMWD property (for tree maintenance or other activities) except over our land.. . and this has contributed to damage to our foliage and to soil erosion on our property near the cul-de-sac. We would like to further landscape our property and to install deer fencing. Therefore, MMWD should be forward thinking to provide unencumbered access to its property. Secondly, the existing Monterey pines on MMWD property are our only screening between our home and the existing MMWD tank, the proposed new tank. and the newly installed MERA antenna with its associated industrial-grade facilities. Our home foyer has a signature window which looks into the tree tops of the pines on our property and MMWD property. It is the first thing you see when you enter our home. Further, our residence is an "upside down" home in that all our important rooms (living room, dining room, etc.) are on the upper floors.. .so we look into the tops of the pines; and they alone shield us from the industrial-grade MMWD site. If these pines were to be deformed due to over-trimming or to be removed, it would adversely impact the enjoyment and value of our home. We purchased our home partly because of its privacy amongst the pines and the associated communal with nature. __ ____.____m Thirdly, we wish to see extensive planting of screening foliage either on MMWD property or ours to mitigate the visual impact of the new tank from our home. This would require appropriate planting which will grow to at least the height of the tank in the least possible time. In short, we request more screening (not less) between our home and the MMWD property. It would be wrong and unfair to remove foliage or to reduce it (per the request of the Aim family), especially before the full impact of the new tank facilities has been realized. Fourthly, we would appreciate it ifthe paint on the new tank (especially on the top) be of a type that minimizes reflection and perhaps incorporates a camouflage pattern. Thank you very much for the opportunity to express our concerns on this very important landscaping/screening issue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at wetlesen(cilpacbel1.net or call us at (415) 435-1254. Sincerely, Mary Ellen and Gunnar Wetlesen DIGEST co $. 0 co ~ ~ 0 ..

A variance is requested for reduced rear yard setback. Michael Heckman, architect, explained a recent survey indicated the deck on the north side of the property is 1118 inch over the property line and the fence also extends into the neighbor's property. The applicant proposed removing that portion of the deck which is encroaching onthe neighbor's property and moving the fence. They also proposed to widen the stairs. Mr. Heckman stated they wanted to do whatever they can to make sure the shrubs and mature trees are protected. Steven Birer stressed the beautiful views off the master bedroom and their desire to utilize the new deck area. The Chair opened the public hearing. Bert Gershbein stated the two houses are very close to each other and the proposed deck addition would face their living area. He said that his family can hear conversations from the deck and the irrigation system going on at 6 a.m. He requested that they build their own fence on their side of the property line. Catherine Gershbein emphasized how close the houses are situated and shared photographs with the Board. She expressed concerns about privacy and objected to the addition ofthe deck extension, noting that her master bedroom had a bay window and the extension would bring the deck closer to it. She thanked Assistant Planner Phillips for helping her understanding the design review process. Mr. Heckman stated if landscaping is necessary it will be incorporated to make sure that both houses have privacy. In response to the Chair, Mr. Heckman stated if they moved the deck extension down to the left, it would not be accessible from the master bedroom TIBURON D.R.B. 3 1118/07 The Chair closed the public hearing. Boardmember Teiser stated that he visited both properties and found it hard to see the neighbors' master bedroom from the deck. He thought this was a modest deck extension which was a tradeoff for removing the deck encroachment which was closer to the neighbors, and thought the change to the stairs was a practical issue. He said that it was unfortunate that the houses are very close, but he felt that the neighbors are getting an improvement to what is there. Boardmember Beales noted that there is an extensive amount of existing amount of foliage between the two homes and the deck would still be some distance away from the other dwelling. Boardmember Frymier thought that the application was a good compromise and she had no objections to the new deck. Chair Doyle stated that he liked getting the property line issue squared away. He agreed that the decks would not be used that often, but he also understood the privacy concerns of the neighbor. MIS, BealeslFrymier (passed 3-1, Doyle dissenting) to determine that the project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report. F.

Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Bay Area Air Quality Control Management are sponsoring a Marin County-wide meeting and I would like to invite you to join me on Monday, February 12, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the San Rafael City Council Chamber. As one of the two Marin representatives to ABAG, I am committed to efforts that will lead to a coordinated and collaborative process as we continue our challenging discussions about land use in our cities, towns, special districts and the county as a whole. Other ABAG member agencies are embarking on this path concurrently. Hopefully this process will lead to important policy decisions and guidelines that will assist the 101 cities and towns and 9 counties in the S.F. Bay Area in planning for the future of this region and provide ABAG with the tools to push back on unreasonable unfunded state mandates in the future. I am hopeful that with your attendance, we can begin a truly collaborative and cooperative process and that we can provide some strong direction to the regional planning agencies and the state about our vision for Marin County and our relationship with our neighboring counties, cities and towns. .;:::/~ Susan Adams DIGEST tl.
