In summary, your letter requests that the Town upholds the provisions of the Declarations of Restrictions regarding height and setbacks, as you indicate these factors help preserve the neighborhood from over -sized homes, protect views, and keep density appropriate. You also request that the Town modify its application form for remodel projects to include a footnote directing applicants to the Reed Heights/Tiburon Knolls Property Owner Association website in order that they may review the appropriate Declaration of Restrictions for information. I can certainly understand your neighborhood's desire to have the Town uphold the provisions of these documents; however, the Town is not in a legal position to do so. The Little Reed Heights Declarations of Restrictions are private instruments of a civil nature that are presumably binding on those persons and entities that are party to them. The Town of Tiburon is not a party to the Little Reed Heights Declarations of Restrictions and is not in a position to enforce them. That right is held by those lot owners who are party to the documents and presumably were advised of their existence upon purchase of their lots. Erin Tollini Mayor Jim Fraser Vice Mayor Frank X. Doyle Councilmember Alice Fredericks Councilmember Emmett O'Donnell Councilmember A great number of subdivisions in Tiburon have Restrictions recorded against them, all of them are different, and to the best of my knowledge, the Town of Tiburon is party to none of these documents. However, the Town's general application form, the Land Development Application form (attached in full) does contain the following section: Greg Chanis Town Manager The property involving this permit request may be subject to deed restrictions called Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which may restrict the property's use and development. These deed restrictions are private agreements and are NOT enforced by the Town of Tiburon. Consequently, development standards specified in such restrictions are NOT considered by the Town when granting permits. You are advised to determine if the property is subject to deed restrictions and, if so, contact the appropriate homeowners association and adjacent neighbors about your project prior to proceeding with construction. Following this procedure will minimize the potential for disagreement among neighbors and possible litigation. Signature:* Date: *If other than owner, must have an authorization letter from the owner or evidence of de facto control of the property or premises for purposes of filing this application This section provides constructive notice to applicants regarding the common existence of private covenants, conditions, or restrictions that may pertain to their property. We believe this to be the reasonable extent of the Town's involvement with private restrictions at the time of permit application. In some instances Town zoning regulations, such as those encompassed in the design review process, often seek the same goals as the neighborhood's private restrictions, including preservation of views, prevention of over -sized homes, reasonable protection of privacy, and so forth. In those cases, the Town's regulations as applied can separately and independently achieve results that would mimic those achieved by the private restrictions, which the Town cannot lawfully enforce. I did have the opportunity to visit the Reed Heights/Tiburon Knolls website portions that the public is able to access, and found it delightful. Kudos to your Association for its excellent efforts with the website! I would also like to take this opportunity to update Town contact information for the RHTK Association for project referral purposes. Our contact list currently shows Becky Pringle as the primary contact and Marcelle Scholl as a secondary contact. Please let me know if this information needs updating. I can be reached at sanderson@townoftiburon.org.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT (attach separate sheet if needed): I, the undersigned owner (or authorized agent) of the property herein described, hereby make application for approval of the plans submitted and made a part of this application in accordance with the provisions of the Town Municipal Code, and I hereby certify that the information given is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that the requested approval is for my benefit (or that of my principal). Therefore, if the Town grants the approval, with or without conditions, and that action is challenged by a third party, I will be responsible for defending against this challenge, with the defense counsel subject to the Town's approval. I therefore agree to accept this responsibility for defense at the request of the Town and also agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Town harmless from any costs, claims or liabilities arising from the approval, including, without limitation, any award of attorney's fees that might result from the third party challenge. Signature:* Date: The property involving this permit request may be subject to deed restrictions called Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which may restrict the property's use and development.

The subdivision is comprised of four units, as developed in the early 1950s. Please refer to the Street and Address Locator map, which shows which address is in which unit. The second map is the Assessor's parcel map which shows parcels and block numbers which are used in the CC and Rs. Tiburon Knolls (the upper portion of Stewart Drive and its cul-de-sacs) has separate CC and Rs which are not discussed here. Most of the homes in Reed Heights are restricted to 22 feet in height, whereas in other areas of the town the height limit is 30 feet. Setback restrictions are also set forth in the CC and Rs for each unit. Please uphold our covenants and restrictions to preserve our neighborhood from over -size homes that crowd neighbors, cut off views, and create an undesirable density on the small lots in Reed Heights (they are smaller than what is now buildable in Tiburon.) The height limitation imposed by these CC and Rs is what prevents one home remodel from removing views of those behind. Please help us preserve the scale of our neighborhood by upholding these height and setback limitations. To further this, we request that, on the town form for remodels that sets forth height limits and setbacks, a footnote be added requiring prospective remodelers in Reed Heights to check with the CC and Rs which are posted on our website: www.reedheightstiburonknolls.com. The CC and Rs were set up to continue to run with the land unless changed by a majority of homeowners - and no such vote has occurred. Yours truly, L - I arb , Tree and Reed Heights -Tib reservation Chairman, olls Property Owners Association. Attached are the CC and Rs for Reed Heights as found in their original form at the Marin County Recorder's office. You need two maps to determine which unit of the CC and Rs that you are in. First look at the Street and Address locator map, then check the assessors' parcel number map - the numbers referred to in the CC and Rs are the tiny numbers in the center of each lot on the parcel map.

COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING Commission and Committee Reports/Director's Report Director Anderson referred to a training opportunity which he emailed to Commissioners and he asked that Commissioners alert him as to whether they wish to participate. Staff also would like the Commission to select a volunteer to appear at the February 3, 2016 Town Council meeting regarding the Sam's Anchor Cafe Canopy Use Permit appeal. He requested the Commission also cancel the January 27, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Weller volunteered to attend the February 3, 2016 City Council meeting. ACTION: It was M/S (Weller/Welner) to cancel the January 27, 2016 Planning Commission meeting. Motion carried: 3-0. NEW BUSINESS 1. LAS LOMAS LANE (UPPER): Review of Proposed Real Property Acquisition and Real Property Disposition for Consistency with the Tiburon General Plan; Portion of Unimproved Las Lomas Lane Adjacent to Assessor Parcels 059-121-08, 059-122-56 and 57; Vicinity of Centro West Street at Las Lomas Lane TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 13, 2016 MINUTES NO. 1060 PAGE I Director Anderson gave the staff report, stating that the item was a General Plan consistency review to ensure that the proposed acquisition and/or disposition of property are consistent with the General Plan in terms of its location, purpose and extent. He stated that the property the Town would be acquiring, is a public pedestrian easement over a section of unimproved Las Lomas Lane that connects down to the improved section of Las Lomas Lane and then down to Mar West Street. It begins at Centro West Street. Anderson noted that the staff report provides background on the matter and describes an existing recreational trail that the Town accepted in 2005 which is a less than perfect instrument for guaranteeing continued public access over the site. The Town, with the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Lukens, has been working for many years on a more permanent solution for public access. After a great deal of work acquiring both quiet title and performing survey work, the Lukens have succeeded in gaining title to the entire portion of unimproved Las Lomas Lane and creating a conservation easement over it which the Belvedere -Tiburon Landmarks Society has accepted. Currently, the Lukens are in the process of offering to the Town a public pedestrian easement that would ensure continued public access through this unimproved stretch of Las Lomas Lane. Anderson recognized and thanked the Lukens for their public spirit and generosity. In terms of General Plan consistency, the proposed easement would be consistent with several General Plan goals and policies and would further the public interests set forth in the General Plan. Staff also believes that removing the old alignment once the pedestrian easement has been secured and recorded would also be consistent as it would be duplicative of something that would exist in a more secure format for the Town, and there would be no reason not to abandon the old alignment once the new one is accepted. Therefore, staff's recommendation is to take public comment, approve a motion fording the proposed acquisition to be consistent with the Tiburon General Plan and approve a motion finding the proposed disposition consistent with the Tiburon General Plan. Chair Kulik invited Mr. Lukens to provide a presentation. Bill Lukens stated his wife Susan is also present tonight and said this is a final step representing 35 years of planning to turn Las Lomas Lane into something that they believe will benefit the community as well as them. He said it was originally an undeveloped lane and because of its steepness was never turned into a road. The public path portion which is now being accepted and which they are granting goes back to the 1890's and was a popular path for people coming from San Francisco on weekends with their families and pets for picnicking and hiking. He said the path was well -traveled and people would take this route from ferry boats. Mr. Lukens further explained that the original builder of their house installed a steep, ramped staircase through the area to serve the public as a place to sit. They have since improved it with very nice stairs designed by Paul Leffingwell of Sausalito. A dirt path, which historically was the accurate path, and which they are now confirming via easement goes the rest of the way up the hill. They hope to someday improve this and complete the steps going all the way up. Mr. Lukens indicated that the action would grant the official right-of-way to the Town and he thinks this is a great step. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 13, 2016 MINUTES NO. 1060 PAGE 2 Mr. Lukens complimented Director Anderson for his cooperation and work on the matter and he commended planning staff, noting that they are almost to the point of completion. Chair Kulik opened the public hearing. There were no public comments and he returned discussion to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Welner echoed staffs comments from the staff report regarding the Lukens' public spirit and generosity. He is pleased to support the item and said it sounds like a thoughtful project. Commissioner Weller commented that the Commission does not often get to review something that is entirely non -controversial and good -spirited, as well as entirely for the benefit of the Town and he acknowledged this is a rare occasion. He whole-heartedly supported the proposed acquisition and disposition. Chair Kulik said he thinks this matter is something extremely easy to support and he supported the acquisition and disposition and noted the magnanimous service for decades that Mr. & Mrs. Lukens have made to the Town and the gesture tonight. ACTION: It was M/S (Weller/Welner) to approve the proposed acquisition and disposition of the property associated with the plan and find them consistent with the General Plan and recommend the Town Council accept the acquisition and approve the disposition as proposed. Motion carried: 3-0. MINUTES 2. Planning Commission Minutes — Special Meeting of December 14, 2015 Commissioner Weller requested the following amendments: • Page 3, the paragraph which starts with Commissioner Weller, he asked that it state: "approves the project with the condition that no food service is to occur." • Page 18, last paragraph: "Commissioner Weller said that his questions were answered; he found that the proposed...." Commissioner Weller commented that he will not quarrel with the accuracy of the recitation because he cannot, but he noted for the record that there may be some narrowness of some words reflected in the minutes that were not necessarily the intention of any Commissioners. He said he will bring this up at the Town Council meeting but will not seek to change the minutes. Chair Kulik requested the following amendment: • Page 9, paragraph 3, second to the last line: "He agreed with most of the proposed conditions, particularly with finding some way to provide for a solid wall between the new canopy and the hotel, a specific time for the Eisenglass panels to go down, a time limit on the last placement of a plate on a table, and a review cycle of 6 9 months rather than 9 6 months to capture a full summer of data and see how things are going." TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 13, 2016 MINUTES NO. 1060 PAGE 3 ACTION: It was M/S (Welner/Weller) to approve the minutes of the December 14, 2015, as amended. Motion carried: 3-0.

DEFINITION "Late Mail" is defined as correspondence or other materials that are received by the Town after completion of the written staff report on an agenda item, in such a manner as to preclude such correspondence or other materials from being addressed in or attached to the staff report as an exhibit. IDENTIFICATION OF LATE MAIL All late mail received by Town Staff in advance of a meeting shall be marked "Late Mail" and shall be date-stamped or marked with the date of receipt by the Town. Late mail received at a meeting shall be marked as "Received at Meeting" with a date -stamp or handwritten note. POLICY For regular meetings of the Town Council and its standing boards and commissions: (I) All late mail that is received on an agenda item prior to distribution of the agenda packet to the reviewing authority shall be stamped or marked as "Late Mail" and shall be distributed to the reviewing authority with the agenda packet. (2) All late mail received on an agenda item before 5:00 PM on the Monday prior to the meeting shall be date-stamped and marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as soon as practicable. Such mail shall be read and considered by the reviewing authority whenever possible. If the Monday, or Monday and Tuesday, prior to the meeting are a Town -recognized holiday, the deadline shall be extended to the following day at Noon. (3) Any late mail received on an agenda item after the deadline established in paragraph (2) above shall be date-stamped, marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as soon as reasonably possible, but may not be read or considered by the reviewing authority. There should be no expectation of, nor shall the reviewing authority have any obligation to, read or consider any such late mail, and therefore such late mail may not become part of the administrative record for the item before the reviewing authority. These provisions shall also apply to special and adjourned meetings when sufficient lead time exists to implement these provisions. If sufficient lead time does not exist, the Town Manager shall exercise discretion in establishing a reasonable cut-off time for late mail.
