At the September 27, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, several residents of Hawthorne Terrace spoke to the Commission regarding the temporary clubhouse trailer installed by the Belvedere Tennis Club (BTC) prior to commencement of construction of a major renovation to the club and its facilities. The Planning Commission directed Staff to work with.aTC and the neighbors to attempt to resolve this issue. On October 4, Staff facilitated a meeting at Town Hall between BTC and nine neighboring residents. BTC representatives explained the rationale for the clubhouse trailer and attempts made to lower or otherwise mitigate the visibility of the trailer, along with additional possible ways to mitigate its visual impact on the neighbors. The residents expressed their frustration at not being informed of the trailer before it was installed and their concerns about lack of communication from the club for the upcoming construction project, The residents understood the temporary nature of the structure, and generally appeared willing to accept the temporary view blockage after receiving assurances from BTC that efforts would be made to trim landscaping on the site to open up other views across the site. BTC also committed to having an employee be more available by phone and to return any calls regarding issues with the construction. BTC also expressed their intention to complete the project as quickly as possible, noting that the club members' desire to use the new facilities serves as appropriate motivation to complete the job on time, Both the neighbors and BTC agreed to make efforts to improve communication through the construction project. BTC has stated that another meeting will be held prior to start of construction to answer any other questions about the construction process itself. ,- @omcast RECEIVED ('r,' - 2 2006 ComcastCable ,)". , 12647 Alcosta Boulevard Suite 200 September 27,2006 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE San Ramon, CA 94583 TOWN OF TIBURON DIGs.

ROLL CALL Present: Chair Bird, Boardmembers Beales, Doyle, Frymier and Teiser Absent: None Ex-Officio: Associate Planner Tyler, Assistant Planner Phillips and Minutes Clerk Ashworth B. PUBLIC COMMENTS Charles James requested a continuance for the application at 71 East View Avenue to the September 21, 2006 Design Review Board meeting. C. STAFF BRIEFING Associate Planner Tyler introduced Scott Phillips as the new Assistant Planner, and also informed the Board that the application for 5 Rolling Hills Road had been continued to the October 5, 2006 Design Review Board meeting. D. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. 80 MAIN STREET ABRAMS/ZELINSKY, SIGN The applicant is requesting approval for two (2) on-building signs and one (I) overhead mounting hanging sign for the purpose of advertising a retail shop at 80 Main Street (Ark Row) in Downtown Tiburon. The hanging sign would be double-sided and project over the front entrance to the store along Ark Row. The on-building signs would be located on the front of the building, adjacent to the entrance, and at the rear of the building. Sign materials would consist of painted wood. No illumination is proposed. The applicant was not present for the meeting and no presentation was given to the Board. Boardmember Teiser stated that a third sign is frequently allowed in the Ark Row area which aids in allowing those who are parking behind the business to know what type of business is located fronting Ark Row. He also agreed with Staff's recommendation that the on-building sign area be reduced to comply with the total maximum sign area of nine (9) square feet. TlBURON n.RB. 1 917106 ". .... . . II Boardmember Frymier stated that the proposed height of the sign at 6'8" is fme and that the other adjacent stores have hanging signs which are low and have been accepted at that height. MIS TeiserlBeales, (passed S-O) to determine that the project be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff Report, with the additional condition of approval that the on-building signage be reduced in sign area, so that the total sign area for the business is a maximum of nine (9) square feet. E. OLD BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD 2. 7 SEAFIRTH PLACE SIMPLE MATH, LLC, NEW DWELLING 7 SEAFIRTH PLACE SIMPLE MATH, LLC EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED LOT SIZE 21,991 S.F. NA NA FLOOR AREA NA 4,180 4,199 MAX LOT COVERAGE NA 11.0% 15.0% MAX BUILDING HEIGHT NA 29'6" 30' MAX SIDE YARDS NA 55' & 24'6" 15' FRONT YARD NA 54' 30' REAR YARD NA 25' 25' V ARlANCESIEXCEPTION NONE The applicant is requesting to construct a new single-family home on a currently vacant lot. This application was first reviewed at the July 20, 2006 Design Review Board meeting, but was continued to allow the applicant to address concerns from the Board and neighbors regarding the project design. The applicant has now submitted revised drawings for the project. The proposed floor plan layout has not changed extensively from the previous submittal. The structure proposed would create lot coverage of 2,401 square feet (11 %), which is below the maximum permitted lot coverage in the RO-2 zoning district (15%). The proposed structure would create a gross floor area of 4,180 square feet, which is below the maximum floor area allowed for a lot ofthis size (4,199 sq, ft.). Associate Planner Tyler informed the Board that the applicant met with Staff prior to the meeting to review the plans for conformance with the thirty foot height limitation. She indicated to the Board that the structure is within the thirty foot height limit, and that if the Board has any concerns the applicant can explain. Carl Bridgers, Holey Associates, presented the changes requested and discussed the history of the project. The three main concerns of the previous submittal were; preservation of a Monterey Pine tree for screening purposes between 4030 Paradise Drive TIBURON D.R.D. 2 9nt06 and the subject property; lowering the fmished grade of the driveway by reducing the amount of fill; and adjusting the mass of the house as viewed by 5 Seafrrth Place. Mr. Bridgers discussed how the proposal showed preservation ofthe pine tree by rotating the house and maintaining a nine foot setback from the house. Boardmember Teiser asked if the nine foot setback from the tree was being calculated from the center of the tree to the proposed structure. Mr. Bridgers stated that it was. Mr. Bridgers also stated that his client has met with the owners of 5 Seafirth Place twice to review the revisions to the project. He indicated that they are in agreement with the project design and will work with this neighbor further, as they are planning on making improvements to their rear yard, Regarding the Board's previous inquiry about drainage on the site, Mr. Bridgers responded with a drainage plan which helps alleviate the standing water on the 5 Seafirth Place property and runoff from 7 Seafrrth Place. Boardmember Beales asked if the arborist has gone on record stating whether or not the tree would survive. Mr. Bridgers responded that the tree can survive if properly taken care of; but the tree is already severely compromised. Boardmember Beales then asked if the arborist thinks that careful placement of the foundation ofthe home would help preserve the tree. Mr. Bridgers responded yes but the best thing to do would be to put in a new tree and he feh that it is not worth the effort to save the tree. Their idea is to plant additional trees so that once the tree does die, others will be in place to act as screening. Mr. Bridgers added that they will get a construction document from the arborist, incorporated into the drawings which would become a part of the project, for preservation of the tree. Boardmember Teiser stated that the plans are fine, but in reality, once construction begins, the equipment is brought in and the tree gets damaged and therefore has to be removed. Boardmember Frymier asked about the tightening up of the sides of the house. Mr. Bridgers responded that he decreased the size of the house and tightened in one side, and rotated the house, so there was a 5 foot and 9 foot reduction on two sides. Lisa Cohan stated her history of the project and her meetings with the Architect, Carl Bridgers. She indicated that her home has a slot view, which they would like to preserve. She said that the tree acts as a blanket so that privacy is maintained and she was concerned that the tree would not survive the construction. The side of the proposed house where a bedroom would exist, would have a window looking directly at her home, and she wanted clarification of what kind of window this would be. Rimmo Jolly stated that the owner and architect have been helpful and are trying to do the right thing, His main concerns were to ensure privacy between the properties, and that the home follows the hillside guidelines. He stated that he was unsure whether he could support the project as proposed and was unclear about the design of the driveway. TffiURON n.R.B. 3 9/7/06 Mr. Bridgers addressed Mr. Jolly's comments and stated that they want to work together with him because at some point, Mr, Jolly will be making improvements to his yard and if it is something they can facilitate during construction, they will work with him on that. In response to Mrs. Cohan's comments regarding the tree, Mr. Bridgers felt that they have remedied the tree issue, He mentioned that this proposal is a vast improvement over the initial proposal and there is no view obstruction of the bay from 4030 Paradise Drive. He brought up the option of a small bay window which would be cut off from the side facing 4030 Paradise Drive. Boardmember Doyle asked whether the house and staircase could be moved or shifted to give more room to the tree. Mr. Bridgers said it is a possibility to shift the plane of the home and re-configure the stairs to gain additional space, and asked if they could work with staff on this issue. Moe Nobari, owner, stated that the tree has to be trimmed to improve the canopy and the limb structure. He stated that he could have the arborist monitor the tree during construction, but that the house design has allowed 9' to accommodate any root structure. He brought up the idea of planting additional trees so that there would provide screening but noted that the tree is diseased and would likely die soon anyway. Boardmember Frymier stated that she likes the home and likes the fact that the applicant has been working with the neighbors. She also stated that a lot of time, money and energy have been put into saving this tree when in actuality the tree would die. She supported the idea of working to shift the home to gain more room for the tree, but again stated the tree will perish. She suggests that the loss of this tree should be dealt with by planting more oak trees. She supported the project, stating that it will be a beautiful house. She said that she was still concerned about the mass of the home but felt that if the neighbors approve of it, she could as well. Boardmember Doyle appreciated the amount of flexibility of the owner and architect. He said that he still thought that shifting the home, as mentioned earlier, would help the tree, but he supported the project. Boardmember Beales agreed with Boardmember Frymier. He stated that there would be no view blockage, and that the window on the side facing 4030 Paradise Drive would be well below the level of their deck. He advised that the applicatnt should let the arborist do as much as they can to preserve the tree during construction. Boardmember Teiser stated that this proposal was very well thought ont and commended the architect and applicant for working with the neighbors. He agreed with Boardmember Doyle's suggestion of shifting the home, Chair Bird stated that the focus should be what will be planted between the homes for screening purposes for the long term solution of privacy. She also stated that she appreciated the efforts of the applicant to work with the owner of5 Seafirth Place, She felt that it will be a lovely home and agreed with shifting the home. TmURON n.R-B. 4 9ntf}6 MIS TeiserlBeales, (passed 5-0) to determine that the project be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions ofapproval as set forth in the StatTReport, with the additional condition of approval that StatTwork with the applicant to shift the home to the maximum extent possible to gain additional room between the home and the pine tree.

Additions to the first floor include a new guest suite, three hedrooms and one bathroom Additions to the second floor include a new two-car garage, fiunily room, mudroom, foyer, pantry, and expansion of the existing kitchen. Also proposed are three (3) new skylights and new cedar shingle siding. The guest suite would contain a bedroom, bathroom, closet and a storage area. Access would be provided through an exterior doorway open to the rear yard, to remain separate from the main dwelling. The existing carport would be converted into one of the new bedrooms and the bathroom proposed at the first floor. The proposal includes a new two- car garage, which replaces the carport. A new exterior stairwell would replace the existing spiral staircase to service the two floors, Doug Thompson, architect, presented the proposal. He stated that the purpose of the project is to enlarge bedrooms and increase kitchen space for a family of five. He stated TmURON n.R.B. 5 917106 that they considered building up, but for consideration of the neighbors, this plan was proposed instead. He stated that addition in the middle of the lot would be concealed by existing landscaping and the existing structure. Joe Poen stated that the structure would be too massive, overcrowd the site and would not be in harmony with the neighborhood. His was concerned with his views, though he admitted that his view impact would be minor. He said that he is worried that the excavation for the proposed structure would destabilize the land on which their property sits, He said that he is concerned about the location, size, and the height of the garage/guest suite structure, which would be separated from his house by only 35 feet. He showed photographs to illustrate his issues. He believed that if his existing landscaping screens the structure, then his views would be eliminated. His suggestion would be to lower the garage/guest suite by two feet. Nicole Roberts stated that she is not affected by the mass due to being downhill from the proposed home. She suggested moving the garage to the other side of the home to solve the view impacts, and therefore solve the setback issues. Barbara Roberts stated that the homes in this area were built at the same time, with no north-fucing windows so as not to affect the nighttime views of uphill properties. She said that her views would be dramatically affected due to the proposed north-facing windows. She was also concerned with the east-facing windows that would partially affect her nighttime views, but felt this was more of an issue for the home at 6 BUlTell Court. She also fel that the building mass was a concern. Eric Tepper stated that he is not impacted by the proposed project. He said that a bright light over the existing carport area impacts his nighttime view, but he has spoken to the owner about it. Doug Thompson stated that all that would be visible to the neighbors would be the roofs. He stated that moving the garage to the other side of the home is not possible because there is not enough room due to the setback lines. He did not feel that the connecting infill addition to the garage/guest suite would increase the bulk of the house, as it would be masked by several perspectives. He said that the Argovs have spoken with most of the neighbors and were shocked at the neighbor's letter in opposition to the proposal. Mr. Thompson stated that some of the neighbors have rescinded their disapproval of the project since. He stated that the north-facing windows were placed there for ventilation for the I st and 2nd floors of the structure, and that they made the window sizes small so there would be minimal light pollution. Boardmember Doyle inquired about the height of the ceiling in the guest suite. Mr. Thompson responded that it would be eight feet. Boardmember Teiser asked about the garage, suggesting that moving the garage towards the old carport area could be a solution. Mr. Thompson said that the patio area would be unusable if this was done, TmURON n.R.B. 6 9nt06 Boardmember Frymier inquired about the distance between the proposed guest suite and the existing carport and suggested lowering the roof of the garage. Mr, Thompson responded that the roof would have to be flat to lower it. He suggested truncating the roof to match the existing structure, which would lower the roof by two feet. Boardmember Beales stated that he has visited neighbors, who would look down on roofs, and noted that this often happens on hillsides, He suggested that a reduction in windows on the north facing elevation should be considered, but could otherwise support the project as-is. Boardmember Teiser stated that since the windows are in bedrooms and could affect neighbors' views, these should be addressed. He was concerned about the side property line, but now that the property setbacks have been explained, he could support the project. Boardmember Frymier said that she did not think that the project is massive; however, she would like the roof on the garage lowered to appease the neighbors. She said that the light pollution should be remedied, perhaps by making the windows horizontal instead of vertical, since they are for ventilation purposes. She supported the project with the changes that Boardmembers have suggested. Boardmember Doyle stated that the home is very well designed. He stressed that the roof of the garage should not infringe on the neighbors' sense of space. He stated that the suggestions of the neighbors are reasonable, and felt that the garage roof should be lowered, He also felt that the upper level north facing windows should be reduced in size or eliminated due to the fact that people use their bedrooms at night, so the light would affect nighttime views. He said that he could only support the project with the garage roo flowered and the windows addressed. Chair Bird slated that she could also support the design with the reduction in the size of the upper level north facing windows and the lowering of the garage roof. Boardmember Teiser suggested a continuance due to the number of changes suggested. MIS TeiserlBeales (passed 5-0) to continue this item to the September 21, 2006 meeting. F.

The Board shared these concerns and advised the applicant to make changes to the roof and windows for the addition, The application was continued to September 21, and the applicant has now submitted revised plans for the project. Doug Thompson, architect, presented the changes to the project. He stated that the north facing upper level windows would be removed and the two master bedroom windows would be replaced by fIxed cedar louvers that will not let light show. He said that the other two master bedroom windows in the northwest comer would be replaced with skylights with a 30% tint. He said that the windows on the east side of the garage would be moved to the south side fucing the courtyard. He stated that the roof overhangs have been reduced from 25 inches to II inches; effectively reducing the mass by 110 square feet, which would shorten the rise ofthe roofand the roofhas been truncated to match the height of the existing roofridgeline, Boardmember Beales asked about the ceilings and suggested that the proposed skylight location could be moved to the other side of the ridgeline and still provide light to the same area. Mr. Thompson agreed that this could be done. Barbara Roberts stated that she wants to protect her view and desires no new light pollution, She said that the applicant's desire to have natural light in a closet could not be justified if it impacts neighbors' views. Joe Poen stated that the impact from his house appears to still be the same, and felt that the roof has not been lowered substantially. He was concerned that he would have to growing foliage to screen the garage, and that any increase in screening more than 6 inches would impact his view. TIBURON D.R.B. 4 9/21106 meeting, the Board had directed that at least 500 square feet of floor area be eliminated from the building. The applicant has now submitted revised plans for the house. Jim Malott, architect, presented the project changes. He stated that 579 square feet of floor space had been eliminated from the house. He said that most of these changes were made by minor revisions and on underground spaces, so that little had changed on the surface or aboveground, He stated that the concerns of all the neighbors have been met and the neighbors now are in support of the project. He stated that this project was consistent with the Hillside Design guidelines, but that he feh that the Town's floor area ratio is in conflict with the Hillside guidelines, He requested that the Design Review Board work on this discrepancy, Ned Lawrence stated that the mass of the house is not any larger than the immediate neighbors' houses. Helen Lindqvist stated that even though there have been many changes, she felt that this would still be a very large house. She believed that there were incorrect calculations regarding ceiling heights, storage areas and staircases. She stated that this home would set a precedent for other larger homes in town. Boardmember Beales explained that the purpose of the floor area ratio is to control the visible mass of a building. He said that space that has been buried is not part of the visible mass. He felt that the applicant has done quite a lot to squeeze space out of the house. Boardmember Doyle stated that this is a unique situation because of the location and trying to protect the neighbors' existing views. He said that the house design is misleading when viewed from the front, as it stairsteps up the lot. He noted that there are some enormously vertical houses in the area, and felt that there was not much else that can be done for this project. MIS Boardmember BcalesIDoyle (passed 2-0-1) to determine that the project be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff Report. Boardmember Teiser returned to the meeting. 3. 8 ACELA DRIVE OLLENDORFF, NEW DWELLINGN ARIANCESI FLOOR AREA EXCEPTION - CONTINUED TO 10/5106 TmURON D.R.B. 3 9121106 Ben Argov stated that he believed that he has compromised a great deal by changing the design, meeting with the neighbors, and making the changes quickly. He explained that the courtyard is important as a play area fur his children. He stated that his compromises have protected all neighbors' views. He described effurts to reach out to his neighbors with phone calls and personal visits, and said that he has support for his project from all but two of his neighbors, Doug Thompson stated lowering the garage would greatly increase excavation, causing many construction truck trips to haul away dirt. Boardmember Teiser stated that the applicant has made significant changes to the project. He liked the idea of moving the skylight to the other side of the ridge line. He said that the changes to the garage have created more separation between the garage and the property line. He said that he could support the project as a reasonable compromise. Boardmember Beales stated that the applicant has been very responsive in making these changes. He felt that the louvered windows were a good idea. He stated that in suburban areas, looking down on other rooftops visible is a fact of life. Boardmember Doyle said that efforts have been made to lower the garage roofline and address the issue of light from the windows. He stated that the lowering the roof a little more would not make that much difference. He said that it is more important to maintain views, which would not be impacted by this project. He said that Mr. Poen would see a little of the roof from his second story areas, but his views would not be impacted. MIS Boardmember Bealesffeiser (passed 3-0) to determine that the project be categorically exempt from the provisions ofCEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff Report, with the additional condition of approval that the skylight over the closet be moved to the other side of the ridgeline.

Tiburon Road. The proposed additions include an expansion to the existing second floor, expansion to the kitchen on the first floor and remodeling of selected portions of the existing house. The expansion on the second floor is fur a new master bedroom, bathroom and closet. The expansion on the first floor consists of a breakfast room off the west side of the existing kitchen. The remodel proposed for the existing house includes the removal of a bedroom to expand the existing family room and converting the existing exercise room and library into one large office. Steven Gold, owner, presented the project. He said that the existing master bedroom is very small and not very private, and the addition would address those issues. He stated that he has the support of all ofbis neighbors. AI Aguirre stated that he was very supportive of the project. He said that he has asked the owner to consider replacing the pine trees that exist between the homes if the trees are damaged during construction. Mr. Gold responded that the pine trees would not be harmed as part of the project. Boardmember Beales stated that he viewed the addition from Mr. Aguirre's home and was initially concerned with the height of the roof over the master bedroom suite, but acknowledged that Mr. Aguirre supports the project. Boardmember Teiser stated that he has visited the adjacent home and said that there were no real privacy or view impacts. Boardmember Doyle stated that this is a well designed project that would fit with the neighborhood.

Small additions would be made to the entry, kitchen and powder room on the upper level of the house, and a new deck would extend off the living room, On the lower level, the family room would be expanded, a new deck constructed off the master bedroom and a balcony added to the second bedroom. A new balcony would also be added off the guest bedroom on the basement level. An eight inch (8") tall parapet would be added around the perimeter of the existing flat roof of the house. Variances are requested for reduced front and rear yard setbacks, excess lot coverage and excess building height, along with a floor area exception. Mohamad Sadrieh, architect, presented the project. He stated that the home is in dire need of refurbishing. He stated that the current home encroaches into the setbacks because of the small and steep lot. He noted that this application is only requesting an additional 104 square feet and an 8-inchparapet to improve the appearance of the house, He said that there also is a request to change from a wood to stucco siding, so the mass of the house would be minimized. He stated that due to the cantilevered design of the house, a structural engineer has suggested added supports to strengthen the house, but the owner now feels that the two southernmost columns could be eliminated. Charles James, owner, further described his discussions with the structural engineer about removed the two columns. Joan Lombardo stated that her adjacent property and the subject property was one parcel in the past. She said that these two homes are very close, so she is concerned with the preservation of any little separation she has. She was also concerned that the proposed decks would create noise and privacy problems, considering the closeness of the homes. TmURON D.R.B. 7 912l106 P1anning Manager Watrous noted that the Design Review Board cannot make a decision on this application at this meeting, as the rear yard setback variance was not originally requested by the applicant and therefore had not been properly noticed. He added that the Board could provide general feedback on the merits of the application, but could not make a decision at this meeting. Boardmember Beales stated that he had thought that this was a filirly straightforward project on a very tight lot. He hoped that the applicant and neighbor could work out their issues regarding the decks.

The existing house includes an attached two-car garage. A 594 square foot addition would be constructed to the rear of the garage, which would provide two additional tandem parking spaces for the house. Variances for reduced front and side yard setbacks and a floor area exception are requested. Patrick Sheahan, architect, presented the project. He stated that the main objective of this project is to improve the parking situation and give the owners two more garage spaces. He stated that the proposed project design would least impact the neighbors, adding that the property is very large with good buffering from other properties. He noted that this design would create a tall crawl space, but it would not be visible from anywhere. He described effurts to address drainage concerns of some neighbors. Boardmember Beales asked if the owner need more parking or actual the garage spaces. Mr. Sheahan replied that garage space is important due to the fact that the owners are TmuaoN D.R.B. 8 912lJO(j "car people". Boardmember Beales suggested that garage instead be placed in front of the existing garage. Caroline Talbot asked questions about trees on the site that were answered by Mr. Sheahan. Brian Hansen stated that his only concern was how the construction equipment was going to access the site of the addition. KatWeen Quandt, architect, stated that the garage could perhaps be shortened, which would save the largest tree. Boardmember Teiser stated that there has been continuing development on this property, with serial revisions. He stated that the parking already on the site seems adequate. He stated that it would not be a hardship not to have additional garage spaces, even though the structure would not have a major impact on anyone. Boardmember Beales stated that there are no bases for granting the variances. He stated that there is not necessarily a need for more parking in the area, since he has seen 5.6 vehicles parked there. He again suggested that the garage can be moved forward in front of the existing garage. He stated that parking can be difficuh at times in parts ofTiburon. Boardmember Doyle agreed with Staff's assessment of the variances and suggested that the application be continued to allow the applicant to look at other ahernatives for this project. Boardmember Beales stated that the floor area is not as big an issue as the variances.

The site is currently improved with a single- family dwelling and is covered with a variety of mature landscaping. The project as proposed would demolish the existing single-family dwelling, and construct a new 7,144 square foot home. The project aims to mimic the existing structure by following a similar footprint and remain mostly single story. A 1,459 square foot second floor is proposed on the northwest side ofthe structure. The footprint of the dwelling would create a U- shaped structure, with an exterior courtyard, which also acts as a front yard. Joshua Aidlin, Aidlin Darling Design, presented the project. He stated that the proposed dwelling would be situated in center oflot, so that a lot of landscaping can surround the home. He noted that a neighbor has suggested that the house be moved 9 feet north so that their view ofMt. Tamalpais would not be obstructed and protect their privacy. He stated that the applicant is prepared to move the house as requested. Boardmember Beales cautioned that trees to be planted should be selected so future views would not be impacted. Mr. Aidlin stated that they will keep that in mind in preparing the final landscape plans. Torrez Pulio Goger stated that she was very concerned that the two-story portion of the house would intrude into her Marin Headlands view. AI Aguirre stated that moving the house back would address the concerns that he had described in his letter regarding the project. Mr. Aidlin stated that the house would be kept below the maximum height limits to avoid impacting neighbors' views. He added that the house would be placed in the most landscaped portion of the lot to provide better screening. Ron Herman, landscape architect, stated that the only landscaping proposed to be removed would be located in the inner courtyard. He stated that the only trees that would be planted would top out at 20 feet. Boardmember Teiser stated that this is a beautiful design. He said that he visited the house at 102 Mt. Tiburon and that neighbor had no objections. He also visited the Moodys' house and feh that moving the house back nine feet should satisfy them. Boardmember Doyle agreed that this is a beautiful design, but noted that the old house was also wonderful. He said that his main concern was the neighbor's view to the side of Mt. Tamalpais, but feh that moving the house back nine feet would help that neighbor as well as the uphill neighbor. MIS Boanlmember Teiser/Beales (passed 3-0) to detennine that the project be eategorieally exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approve the applieation subjeet to the eonditions of approval as set forth in the Staff Report, with the TffiURON D.R.B. 10 9121/OCi additional condition of approval that the house be moved nine feet (9') toward the front of the site. 9. 5 ROLLING HILLS ROAD WESTERN LIABILITY INSURANCE, ADDITIONSN ARlANCE - CONTINUED TO 10/5/06 10. 170 HACIENDA DRIVE VOGELHEIMlHANSEN, POOLN ARIANCE CONTINUED TO 10/5/06 G.
