RE: Declarations of Restrictions for the Little Reed Heights Subdivision
Dear Ms. Darby:
This letter acknowledges receipt of your letter dated February 9, 2016 regarding the
Declarations of Restrictions applicable to the four various units of the Little Reed
Heights Subdivision, all dating from between 1950 and 1955.
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.

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.
Very truly yours,
Scott Anderson

Municipal Code, and I hereby certify that the information given is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and

TOWN TIBURMANAGERS ONCE
Attached please find CC and Rs for the subdivision Reed Heights. 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.

TOWN MANAGE:
TCS OF TIF.
As we begin the New Year, we wanted to take a moment to connect with you so that you
and your constituents have current contact information for Comcast and to share some
of the ways Comcast is investing in the communities it serves and in delivery of services
to our customers.
Comcast's tag line — The Future of Awesome — is a short way of communicating that we
are continuously advancing our technology to create awesome experiences that
customers appreciate. Part of the process is to recognize what is not -so -awesome now.
To that end, we have already embarked on an ambitious multi-year plan to transform the
customer experience, starting with the very first interaction. This means looking at
everything through a customer's eyes, and making changes, both big and small. Comcast
has committed resources for this transformation, and the work is underway, including
hiring more customer support personnel, being on time for our appointments, investing in
training, tools and technology, and simplifying our billing and pricing.
With our innovative products and our focus on delivering an excellent customer
experience, Comcast is a technology leader that helps communities prosper and grow by
driving economic development in communities through our robust and scalable network,
and providing advanced technology solutions to companies of all shapes and sizes.
We continue to expand upon our highly successful Internet Essentials program and
launched senior pilot programs in several communities last year. To date, Comcast has
connected more than 500,000 families or more than 2 million low-income Americans to
the internet through this program and are currently exploring other potential expansions
so as to bring the power of the internet to those who need it most.

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.

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."

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. For controversial items or at any
meeting where a high volume of correspondence is anticipated, Town staff shall have the option to
require an earlier late mail deadline, provided that the written public notice for any such item clearly
communicates the specifics of the early late mail deadline, and the deadline corresponds appropriately to
any earlier availability of the agenda packet.
Pursuant to state law, copies of all late mail shall be available in a timely fashion for public inspection at
Tiburon Town Hall, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard, Tiburon.

ECONOMIC
CENSUS
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is hosting an Economic Census Workshop to offer insights on the economic data
available to support the region's efforts around economic development and middle wage job retention. This is the first in a series
of sessions to be held in 2016 and 2017 to contribute to helping the region address the economic challenges that linger even as
the Bay Area leads the nation in employment growth.
8:30 am Welcome and Check -In
9:00 am Introduction
9:15 am Census Bureau Economic Programs:
An Overview
This presentation will provide an overview of the monthly,
quarterly, annual, and periodic economic programs
conducted by the US Census Bureau. Special attention
will be given to those programs that provide state and
local area data on businesses in the San Francisco Bay
Area (including the Economic Census), but the session will
also focus on the monthly Economic Indicator programs
that provide the most timely national -level business data
from Census. Key terms and concepts that users need
to understand to most effectively use these data will be
covered, as will key Census Bureau data tools that present
these data.
10:30 am Break
10:45 am The 2012 Economic Census:
An Update, and Important Changes
for California
This presentation will provide an overview of the Census
Bureau's economic data for California, focusing on
the largest economic program Census conducts, the
Economic Census. An update on which reports have
already been released (and which are coming soon) will
be provided, with highlights of the important industry,
geographic, and other changes that will impact data users.
The presentation will also profile the Census Bureau's
business.census.gov website, a valuable resource for
businesses, chambers of commerce, and economic
development staff.
12:00 pm Lunch — On Your Own
1:15 pm Using Census Bureau Demographic and
Economic Data to Spur Development
This presentation will provide a deep, detailed dive into
the data from selected monthly, quarterly, annual, and
periodic economic programs conducted by the US Census
Bureau that can be used by economic planners and
development staff to promote economic growth in their
areas. Special attention will be given to those programs
that provide state and local area data on businesses in the
San Francisco Bay Area (including the Economic Census),
but the session will also discuss the programs that can be
used to compare the region to California and to the nation
as a whole.
2:30 pm What's Coming Up for the 2017 Economic
Census?
In 2017, the Economic Census will be 100% electronic
responses (no paper form), so what does that mean for
those who need to report back?
