It is anticipated that the staff will be in place for at least three years. The BTLA is interested in renting a modular mobile unit to house two staff members and has asked that I pursue the possibility of this solution. Attached is a quote, with additional information, a brochure, and a ramp design from Mobile Modular Rents.. Mobile Modular Rents is the company used by the Reed Union School District. The unit would be 8' X 20' feet in actual dimensions. The quote sizes the unit at 8' X 23' feet which includes a 3 ft. hitch that would be removed. Also attached is a site plan with the location of the unit in yellow. When I met with Dean Bloomquist and Ron Barney from the Tiburon Fire District, we were discussing a 10' X 20" unit. The 10' width would require the removal of the small tree in the curb extension. The 8' width would prevent that from happening. It has also crossed my mind that removing that curb extension could be done. It originally provided the boundary for the gated trash area. The 20' length extends beyond the curb boundary. From our discussions with Ron Bamey, this extension would not block fire truck access. Your advice on this would be appreciated. We hope to hire the staff before the end of August and hope to have the unit in place around that time. Thank you for time. r- ~>~ \. ~~ - i!~~ GG i ~i ' 0',~ ~ ~ ~ Q G ....-, ~ ~, t,.;-= 'L rn C m ':\J ~ -4 ,~/ Q n ~ r .~ )J ~. ~ '7- . \ . . .

PROJECT TITLE: Alta Robles Residential Development PROJECT LOCATION: The subject property consists of two contiguous parcels: the 20.95 acre SODA property and the 31.25 acre Rabin property. The SODA property is located in an unincorporated portion of Marin County with the Town of Tiburon sphere of influence, and is currently vacant. The Rabin property is currently developed with one single- family residence and is located within the Town of Tiburon, with a street address of 3825 Paradise Drive. ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS: 039-021-13 and 039-301-01 PROJECT PROPONENT: Irving and Varda Rabin SODA, LLC P.O. Box 926 Tiburon, CA 94920 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The 52-acre Aha Robles project site is within the Town of Tiburon's Sphere of Influence, but approximately 21 acres are currently located within unincorporated Marin County; the remaining 31 acres are already within the Town of Tiburon corporate limits. The proposed project involves the eventual subdivision of the 52 acres into 14 single family parcels (one existing residence to remain and 13 new residences to be constructed) and three open space parcels totaling 18.3 acres. The applicants have currently submitted applications for Annexation, Prezoning, and Precise Development Plan; the EIR will be prepared for these applications and all future approvals as well, barring changes to the project subsequent to these approvals. Potential environmental impact areas to be addressed in the Draft EIR include: aesthetics, biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, mineral resources, public services, utilities/service systems, agricultural resources, cultural resources, geology/soils, hydrology/water quality, noise, recreation, air quality, population/housing, land use/planning, transportation/traffic, and cumulative impacts. Analysis of impacts is anticipated to focus on aesthetics, biology, geology and soils, land use and planning, traffic and circulation, and cumulative impacts. No initial study is being prepared for this project. The project is proceeding directly to an EIR pursuant to Section 15060(d) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Following PDP approval and annexation of the SODA property by the Town the Tiburon Zoning Map (Section 16- 2.16 of the Municipal Code) would be amended. With the SODA property prezoning and future annexation both Rabin and SODA property would be zoned the same. The project sponsor has assembled the two properties for comprehensive precise development planning purposes. The RPD zoning (Section 2.07.00. TMC) proposed for the SODA property is intended to protect and preserve open space land as a limited and valuable resource without depriving owners of a reasonable use of their property for residential purposes. The proposed single family residential use is a Permitted Use (Section 2.07.02 TMC). Maximum density for the land shall be established by a Precise Development Plan approval pursuant to Section 4.08.00 of the TMC. Building height is limited to 30 feet for main buildings and 15 feet for accessory buildings. All other land and structure regulations are subject to Precise Development Plan approval (Section 2.07.03 TMC). Precise Development Plan The Precise Development Plan seeks approval for 14 residential lots, comprised of: · 1 Lot for an existing single family home; and · 13 Lots for thirteen new single family homes. * 3 Lots, A, B, C are voluntarily offered for Common Open Space Subdivision The subdivision configuration results in 17 subdivision lots, as shown on the Precise Plan Maps (See CSW ST 2 - Sheet C6 - Site Plan & KAO Design Group - Sheets SP-03 -03a, Alta Robles Lot Area and Building Data Summary Mattix): . 14 Single-family lots; · 3 Common open space lots (A,B,C) Preservation of Scenic and Natural Resources Extensive land area (51.46%) is voluntarily offered for dedication to permanent open space to benefit the public by preserving scenic and natural resources. (See Sheet SP-22 KAO) · Private Common Open Space, is voluntary offered for permanent open space and resource conservation, Lots A, B, C. acCOl:lD.t for 18.29 acres or 35.03% of the total land area. · Private Open Space, lands proposed in individual private lot ownerships on 13 new lots is voluntarily offered for permanent dedication to scenic and resource conservation easement and includes 8.58 acres or 16.43% of the total land area · Private Space, lands surrounding the existing residential development on Lot #1 is proposed to be maintained for private resource conservation, open space, and private recreational use and includes 10.48 acres or 20.08% of the total land area.

Library Director's report - Deborah Mazzolini The exterior shingling and painting project is complete and the parking lot has been re-sealed and striped. The brick pavers in the lot still need to be cleaned. The windows - inside and out - have been cleaned and the carpets and upholstery will be cleaned by the end of the month This morning the library switched from DSL to fiber optics for internet service. This will result in better security, faster speed and the ability to add more computers to the system. 4. Financial statement for May 2007 Eleven months into the fiscal year library finances continue to be within budget. It was noted that revenue from the California State Library (line item #5080) is more than 750/0 greater than budgeted. When first adopted the budget figure is usually tentative since the state legislature budget is approved subsequent to ours. In addition the state reimburses the library for materials that are borrowed by patrons of other locates. It is a testament to our excellent collection that the library receives more from the State than anticipated. 5. Committee Reports . The packet includes the Program Committee schedule through July. They are booking programs in August for the first time ever. . There was no film screened in May but there will be one on June 29th. CONSENT CALENDAR: 6. Approval of minutes of May 21, 2007 7.

Building Program Planning Update Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency June 18, 2007 Minutes Page 2 The Library Director is keeping notes on aspects of the building that should be avoided in the expansion, such as bricked parking, custom fixtures, and difficult to reach lighting. The advertisement for the capital campaign position has generated a number of responses but more are expected. The plan is to install a mobile office unit in the red zone of the parking lot. The Architectural Selection Committee is composed of Jim Levorsen, Rita Fink, Hank Bruce, Carol Forell and Ann Aylwin. They are conducting first interviews with five selected architectural firms to narrow the choice. The finalists will each make a 1 ~ hour presentation to the BTLA on August 20 (in lieu of a regular board meeting). These presentations are expected to address issues such as parking and site logistics. The final selection will be made following the presentations. It is typical to award a stipend to the finalists to offset some of the time and expense involved in the preparation of their presentation as well as prove you are serious. It was noted that the firm that is selected will then produce a conceptual design that will include a building footprint and landscape and parking plans which will be presented to the Tiburon Town Council. A motion to award $5,000 to the three architectural finalists, made by Trustee Falk and seconded by Trustee Johnson, passed unanimously. A letter to the Tiburon Town Council has been drafted that requests the Council direct Town Staff to draft the implementing ordinance for Program DT -u which would facilitate the library expansion by employing streamlined permit review processes typically used for major public projects. The Board agreed that this is an appropriate time to submit this letter. It was suggested that if there is to be any opposition, it would most likely occur at the conceptual design stage. Funding for the initial architectural presentations and conceptual design has not been addressed in the upcoming library budget, however the Belvedere- Tiburon Library Foundation has more than $35,000 earmarked for such; plus a quarter of the Belvedere Community Foundation's may be used in the first year. 9. Building Maintenance Program Update Maintenance issues were discussed under the Library Director's report. 10. Final Budget FYE June 30, 2008 The Library is estimating a 70/0 increase in all revenue for the coming fiscal year. The same has been allocated to expenses. Tom Perot has again reviewed and printed the budget for the next fiscal year based on information provided to him by Director Mazzolini. He gave a nod of approval to the figures. He has calculated the Gann limits. The budget includes a 3.60/0 COLA for salaries and wages. Line item #1740 includes expenses for two people to manage the capital campaign and their office. There were questions posed from the trustees concerning the budget cuts for electricity, water and grounds maintenance. These categories were under-spent the past year. The cost of the shingling and painting project and the resealing and striping of the parking lot will be taken from Building Reserves. Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency June 18, 2007 Minutes Page 3 A motion to approve the proposed budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, made by Trustee Falk and seconded by Trustee Fong, passed unanimously. COMMUNICATIONS 11. Monthly calendar 12. Schedule of 2007 meeting dates The August 20th meeting will be devoted strictly to hearing the final architectural presentations in an open public meeting. The proposed time will be to begin at 1 :00 pm and adjourn following the final presentation. Advice will be sought from the library's attorney so the proper form will take place. 13. Letter from City of Belvedere confirming the appointment of Trustee Beverlee Johnson Beverlee Johnson is a mOember of the Belvedere- Tiburon Library Foundation and has served on its Nominating Committee.

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions and alterations to an existing single-family dwelling located at 2130 Mar East Street. The addition would include expanding two sections of the front roofline upward and widening of the upper portion of the chimney. The proposal also calls for the addition of a spa in the rear yard with steps accessing the spa in a new location. Various windows and doors would be reconfigured throughout the home. Three new skylights would be added to the western roof plane. The existing wall within the front parking area would be replaced with a wood screen. The building footprint would not be expanded as part of this proposal. A variance has been requested for reduced front yard setback. David Holscher, architect, said the remaining matter in question was the roofline that goes into the front yard setback. He noted they designed it in a way to provide for some presence to the entrance of the house. Boardmember Teiser said there was a question from the neighbor about the location of the side property line, and Mr. Holscher said they had worked out the matter with the neighbor. There were no public comments. Boardmembers Glassner stated that the only issues raised by the neighbor appear to have been reso lved. Boardmember Teiser noted that in response to a letter of objection that had been received regarding possible view impacts, he had visited the neighbors' home and found that the project would result in minor view blockage from a side window and would not affect the main views for the neighbor. Boardmember Corcoran said he walked up and down the street and saw not much impact to any of the neighboring homes. He noted that the Board typically encouraged skylights on the downslope ofa house, but feh that the number of skylights requested was minor.

Variances have been requested for reduced side yard setback and excess lot coverage. Steve Russel~ owner, introduced applicant Steve Young, landscape architect from Magrane Associates. He said the request is for a side yard setback, and that they made one minor change in response to neighborhood concern which was reflected in the revised plans. Steve Young, landscape architect, said they were proposing a new deck in the side setback and replacing the existing pool, which is currently located within the side setback as well. He stated that the side is very steep in the back which limits their ability to relocate the pool to this area. He said the deck was originally going to be 4'2" from the side property line, and in response to neighbor concerns, they moved it back and up to be 6' 1 0" to the prpperty line. Boardmember Teiser said there was concern that the proposal would move the shallow end of the pool and the spa to within 6 feet of the side property line. Mr. Young said the reason the shallow end of the pool would be closer to the property line was because there is a step down from the main patio to the pool location on the other end and they wanted to avoid children jumping over the spa wall and into the pool from the patio into the shallow end. Boardmember Glassner asked what had been considered as far as fencing or other noise barriers. Mr. Young said there would be a solid fence by the space area as well as a fence by the pool area. They will be planting some mature planting to provide a buffer zone, the materials of which had not yet been decided UpOlL He noted the conceptual landscape plan showed only planting TmURON D.R.B. 6/21/07 4 locations, but felt that while plant materials would provide a great buffer for privacy, it would not address noise. Boardmember Corcoran asked about the retaining wall supporting the pool and whether moving the pool back from the side property line would be possible to reduce the height. Mr. Young said the Town discourages walls over 6 feet and if they move the pool they would end up with taller walls or double retaining walls all the way around the pool. Vice Chair Frymier asked about moving the hot tub to the other side of the pool, and Mr. Young again cited the presence of dangerous conditions, as there was the potential for children to jump in the pool and hit the spa wall due to the step down in elevation. Boardmember Corcoran questioned the side deck. Mr . Young said neighbors had raised concerns about privacy from the side deck and they agreed to move it back 2 feet and up 3 feet which was reflected in the current plan. He also noted that the deck was located off the master bedroom and would not be used for entertainment. There were no public comments. Boardmember Teiser said he attempted to go inside the neighbor's home but was unable to. Boardmember Corcoran said he visited the house and said the closest area to the proposal was a deck off an office space. He felt there was a good amount of vegetation and that the deck would not be heavily trafficked. He acknowledged the legitimate safety concerns regarding the pool and spa location limited the possibility of changes to the design. Boardmember Glassner felt a great deal of consideration had been given to the neighbor's privacy and noted that the pool would not be used for parties every day. Chair Doyle said the steepness and size of the lot creates difficulties in the pool design. ACTION: It was MIS (Corcoranffeiser) that the Board determines that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, and that the project be approved with the recommended conditions of approval.

The upper level would include a master bedroom suite, along with two more bedrooms and bathrooms. A two-car garage would be situated on the main level of the house. A hot tub is proPOsed to be situated to the rear of the house. The floor area of the proposed house Would be 3,166 square feet, which is less than the maximum floor area pennitted fur a lot of this size. The proposed house would cover 3,361 square kef (28.0%) of the site, which is less than the 30.()O/o maximum lot coverage permitted in the R-l ZOne. Ron Wager, architect, explained that the proposal is intended to remove the existing house and building a nicer, new house on the existing pad, using the existing driveway. He said that they would remove two large pine trees and trim some of the other trees, but keeping most of the remaining vegetation, The house site would be shifted slightly, minimally disturbing the area to create a more natural grade. He said the new home was two-story and would replace an existing one-story home. He stated that the highest ridgeIine would not exceed the elevation of the rear of the property, with no view issues fur the uphill neighbor. Boardrnember Corcoran asked about the deck off the back on the second story. Mr. Wager described the deck as an area where one would be able to walk from the upper level and out above the garage. He said there is a bedroom above the garage and with steps leading down from the deck as an additional means of access. Public Comments: Susan Gray said she lives directly above the subject property and she agreed that the new home would be a significant improvement from what was currently there. She noted that a filIlen pine tree on the rear of the site needs to be removed. She was concerned that the staff report states that the new house "... is unlikely to substantiany impact the overall views" and "... unlikely (to J substantially intrude into the views of the neighboring homes." She did not believe her views would be blocked, but said she had difficulties reading blueprints, and wondered ifpeople in the new house would be able to see her or could be seen from her deck. Ms. Gray said she was simply not sure of the impact the home would bave on her and voiced concerns about the length of construction time, She confirmed with that the story poles did not affect her water view and voiced the importance of the trees being topped. Mr. Wagner noted the owner intended to have the home built and completed as SOon as POssible, The Chair closed the public hearing. Vice Chair Frymier acknowledged that the site requires a lot of work, and was happy that the proPOsed house would not be overbuilt. She said that she was unable to enter Ms. Gray's house and would like to see the story poles to judge the neighbors concerns. TIBURON D.R.B. 6/21/07 6 Boardmember Corcoran said that he visited Ms. Gray's house. He characterized the existing house on the subject property as a complete tear down which looks awful from above. He stated that there were no view issues from Ms. Gray's home, which is significantly higher. He said that the proposed house cannot be seen at all from the main level of the neighboring home, and from the second story master bedroom balcony there would be no impact on the water view. He felt that the proposed house would have no real privacy impact, as the entertaining areas would be located on the far side of the house facing the bay. He agreed that the fallen tree on the site should be removed. Boardmember Teiser stated that from Ms. Gray's description she would only see the house, which is not that unusual in this community. He said that the Town does not usually protect privacy from balconies unless the homes are too close together, and that there would be no blockage of Ms. Gray's water views. Boardmember Glassner thought the design of the house was modest and very considerate of its surroundings. He said that he was also unable to access Ms. Gray's house, but felt that anything would be an improvement over what was currently on the subject site. He said that the architect was quite accommodating regarding trees and that the landscaping would be more beautiful. Chair Doyle thought that the house would be a great improvement and that the materials were well chosen and public areas properly sited. He echoed the other Boardmembers' comments on the pine tree removal and privacy issues, and feh that the house would not interfere with surrounding neighbors' views. He also said the stairway and deck in the rear would not be used often for entertainment purposes. ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Corcoran) that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, and that the project be approved with the recommended conditions of approval, with the additional condition of approval that the fallen pine tree at the rear of the site be removed. Vote: 4-0-1 (Frymier voted no). Chair Doyle called for a five-minute break at 8:05 p.m. and reconvened the regular meeting at 8:09 p.m 6. 2 WARREN'S WAY ROBERTS, ADDITIONN ARIANCES 2 WARREN'S WAY NICOLE ROBERTS EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED LOT SIZE 12,365 S.F.

The proposal aims to excavate into the existing crawlspace at the lower level, adding a bedroom and bathroom, recreation room, laundry room and storage room. The existing bedroom and bathroom would also increase in size. A new deck would be added off the recreation room. The main level of the home would gain a family room with the conversion of the existing garage, as well as an expanded entry porch and small addition off the existing master bedroom. A new interior stairway would service both floors and a new two-car garage would replace the converted garage in the existing driveway. The proposed structure would create a gross floor area of 3,231 square feet which is below the maximum permitted floor area for a parceI.ofthis size (3,236 sq. ft.). The proposed structure would create a lot coverage of2,637 square feet (21.3%) which exceeds the maximum permitted lot coverage in the RO-2 zo.ning district (15%). The applicant is requesting a variance for excess lot coverage. In addition, the proposal indicates that portions of the existing dwelling at the lower level would encroach into the front yard setback (facing Reed Ranch Road) by eight feet (8"), for a front yard setback of twenty-two feet (22'). As the minimum front yard setback in the RO-2 zoning district is thirty feet (30'), the applicant is also requesting a variance for reduced front yard setback. John Belz, architect, noted they had earlier planned for a two-story addition until the owner learned of a restricted view easement which would preclude any second story addition. He described the project, noting that the owner wanted to utilize the garage area in the house as an additional family room and locate a new garage in front attached to the house. He noted that the front yard facing Reed Ranch Road was downsloped, and therefore was not usable and could only be landscaped. Mr. BeIz said they were now proposing to add area underneath the house which required excavation. Boardmember Corcoran questioned the location of the garage and the neighbors' concerns about where the new family room would be, noting that there would be four glass doors facing up to the hillside, and suggesting that if the garage was located where the pool was it would fit into the setbacks. Mr. BeIz said this would provide the owner and her son with no yard space. Boardmember Corcoran also suggested consideration be given to creating an entrance by Reed Ranch Road and a garage underneath the house. Boardmember Glassner stated that the plans appeared to almost create a separate unit with the third bedroom and bathroom and asked Mr. Belz if it was the owner's intent to incorporate a separate entrance into the new addition. Mr. Belz said there is an existing small bedroom and bathroom which was built before Ms. Roberts owned the house and it was a classic au pair situation. He said that they intend to install a new stair in the house down to the family room and bedroom and agreed it could be ideal for an au pair entering separately from the outside; however, he said it was not a separate unit and would not have a kitchen. Boardmember Corcoran asked if the skylight over the living room along the ridgeline could be moved to the downslope side. Mr. BeIz confnmed that the skylights could be so moved. TIBURON D.R.B. 6/21/07 8 Boardmernber Teiser questioned the location of the main entrance, stating neighbors had voiced concern about light from the porch and house. Mr. Belz indicated the main entrance was at the back side of the house with the driveway on the west side in the rear. He said there were no windows on the back side that could be viewed from 4 Warren's Way. Boardmember Corcoran noted lights from the windows could be seen from 6 Burrell Court, and confirmed that if trees were planted in the far northeast comer they would need to be limited to a growth of 8-1 0 feet. Mr. Belz confirmed the species and location of the trees would need to be specific. Vice Chair Frymier asked about the chimney and story poles. Mr. BeIz said the chimney would be 2'4" above the ridge and only 2'4" inches square. He said the owner installed the chimney story poles that day and confirmed it was after Vice Chair Frymier had visited the property. Mr. BeIz said the story pole tape was actually 1 foot higher than it should have been, so the ridge was actually shown as being higher than proposed. Boardmember T eiser confirmed the fireplace was a wood burning fireplace and he asked the owner would consider a gas burning fireplace. Nicole Roberts, owner, said pictures were taken this afternoon after she erected the chimney story pole. She said she would consider converting the wood burning fireplace to gas burning, which would also make the chimney pipe smaller. However, if it did not affect peoples' views, she would prefer the conventional fireplace. She stated that she would most likely hire another au pair and it would be preferable to have a separate access door so as not to disturb the entire household at nighttime. Boardmember Corcoran asked about landscaping and suggested plants and trees be added on the Reed Ranch Road side of the house. Ms. Roberts indicated they did not prepare a landscape plan but proposed a three foot retaining wall terracing up the hill with trees and shrubs. Chair Doyle noted that trees would require trimming and may affect views. Public Comments: Barbara Roberts said she lives above the site and that the applicant had addressed their concerns regarding the roofline skylight. She said that she was less concerned with the east facing door, but felt that further excavating would reduce the sharpness of the wall in their view. She said that she was worried about light coming from the home but confirmed with the applicant the overhang would shield much of the light, but she still had voiced concerns with outdoor lighting on the porch and deck. Ben Argov said he wanted to ensure the chimney would comply with their view easement and requested a survey be done to verify this. He said that their major concern was the driveway coming in from the rear of the house. Since his bedrooms all face the driveway, he voiced concerns about noise from gates opening and people talking. He felt it was fair to ask that the retaining wall be changed as it was being moved closer to their property. TIBURON D.RB. 6/21/07 9 Planning Manager Watrous said the driveway and gate were currently in use and staff feels there would be no substantial increase in noise as a result of the moving the retaining wall three feet. Mr. Argov wished there was a way to move the gate further away and questioned why the garage needed to be so wide. Planning Manager Watrous stated that residential noise between homes was normal and unless the owner installed basketball hoops or something that created noise, the Town has not required that projects be changed to address minimal noise generators. He stated that he was unaware of any concerns about noise from people walking to and from their garage to their house in a residential area. Mr. Argov replied that most backyards did not front someone's driveway. Chair Doyle stated that most cmrent gate closure systems were quiet and noted that cars would drive further if the garage were relocated. Eric Tepper said their view extends to the southeast corner of the property and felt the plans regarding the chimney's height were in error. Planning Manager Watrous indicated there was an error in the drawings and said the height of the ridge line was actually 142.8 feet. Mr. Tepper said this would then alleviate their concerns. He also requested the skylight be moved to face the bay. Boardmember Corcoran confirmed the Board had no authority to regulate and enforce private easements, but could condition the applicant to require a survey. Planning Manager Watrous assured the Board that if a gas frreplace were installed, the chimney would not encroach into the view easement. Mr. Belz agreed that the owner was receptive to a gas burning fireplace, said there is a 36 inch overhang around the house which would address any lighting concerns. He said they had previously pushed the garage 3 feet from the property line and Mr. Argov did not want it that close so they moved it. The Chair closed the public hearing. Chair Doyle stated that the neighbors wanted the garage moved back in the previous project design. He felt that the noise issues were minimal, and that moving the garage 10 feet to the left or right would not make much difference. He stated that a hydraulic gate and people walking to a front door would not create noise issues. He said that the current plan provided for the most privacy for the uphill neighbors. He stated that the retaining wall would not be viewable and most of the activity from the house has been pushed away from the home at 4 Warren's Way. He said that some of the light issues could be alleviated by planting shrubs above the family room. He was unsure about requiring changes to the chimney, as it did not appear to extend high enough to encroach into any views. Boardmember T eiser stated that the addition was modest and that alternatives to the garage had been considered. He felt that the project was a good use of the land and was sensitive to TmURON D.R.D. 6/21/07 10 neighbors. He recommended that the fireplace be changed to a non-particulate generating model and the living room skylight be moved to the downslope. Vice Chair Frymier said she would prefer a gas burning fireplace, as she felt the neighbors had valid points and that compromise was important. She echoed Chair Doyle's issue regarding light and noise and strongly encouraged planting in the area above the pool to assist in alleviating any light. Boardmember Corcoran thanked the applicant for making dramatic changes. He agreed with requirements for a gas fireplace and moving the skylight. He suggested that additional landscaping be installed below the house to screen the additions from Reed Ranch Road, along with strategically placed landscaping above the pool. Boardmember Glassner said he would appreciate addressing the chimney issues without necessarily requiring it be gas burning, noting that issues with burning fossil fuels. He said that the use of downlights for exterior lighting would help avoid light pollution. He said that moving the walkway from the garage a foot or two would not make a difference, noting that this was a residence and not a shopping center. ACTION: It was MIS (TeiserlFrymier) that the Board determines that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA, and that the project be approved with the recommended conditions of approval, with additional conditions that 1) the skylight be moved to the downslope; 2) that landscape screening above the pool be provided to screen a light pollution and provide privacy; 3) that screening or additional planting be installed above Reed Ranch Road to reduce the mass of the house; and 4) that a non-particulate generating fireplace be installed.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT President Cortese reported that on April 19th ABAG conducted a successful General Assembly and Business Meeting in San Francisco, For the first time, ABAG had the Mayors of San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland participating on the same program along with Mayor Torliatt of Petaluma. The three big city mayors committed to working together with the region to advance the causes that we all have in common. During the GA luncheon, ABAG's first Growing Smarter Together Award Winners were presented, including the Town of Windsor, City of Pleasant HilL City of San Mateo, and the County of Napa. President Cortese commended ABAG staff for an outstanding job in planning and executing the General Assembly. Conference evaluations returned by attendees were highly complimentary of the program and encouraged more dialog of the type presented. During the Business Meeting, delegates approved the FY 2007-2008 Budget and Work Program and a bylaw change increasing the per diem from $100 to $150 per meeting. President Cortese noted that the revised agenda includes a new Consent Calendar Item-Item U-requesting Executive Board support of the Green Challenge 0709, which is an initiative of the National Volunteer Centers, being led in the Bay Area by the Volunteer Center of the Silicon Valley and implemented by Volunteer Centers throughout the region. 5. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT** President Cortese recognized Henry GardneL ABAG Execqtive Director, who gave his report. Executive Director Gardner also noted the successful General Assembly on April 19th in San Francisco. He stated that on the Executive Board Agenda are two items related to the Regional Housing Need Allocation and the San Mateo Subregional Allocation. He noted that the total allocation to the region is smaller than originally provided by Housing and Community Development (HCD). Staff worked hard to convince HCD that their numbers were inconsistent with our Projections data and was ultimately able to succeed to getting them to agree to reducing the allocation from 300,000 to 214,000 units. County-wide meetings related to Focusing Our Vision (FOCUS) have been or are being held in each of the nine counties, Over 375 elected officials and senior staff from the region's cities and counties have attended so far, The meetings chaired by members of the Regional Planning Committee and the JPC have been widely 2 regarded as a successful outreach effort. Applications for the FOCUS Priority Development Areas are now available and there appears to be widespread interest in the FCOUS program on the part of the region's jurisdictions. ABAG will hold its first annual Housing Conference on June 28, 2007. The conference will focus on affordable housing and housing element implementation issues. Building on the success of ABAG's 2006 housing report, A Place to Call Home, staff is planning to release the second annual housing report at the housing conference. ABAG Energy Watch is sponsoring a free workshop on Implementing Energy Efficiency Measures and Developing Climate Action Plans for local governments including cities, counties and special districts on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pacific Energy Center in San Francisco. The workshop will include an introduction to Climate Action Plans, benefits of participating in ABAG Energy Watch and ICLEI Programs, and guidance on implementing and financing for energy efficiency projects. Since the last Executive Board Meeting ABAG Finance Authority has issued tax exempt capital financing for a number of projects, including: Paragon Apartments at Crossing, $49,600,000 in Variable Rate Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds; The Rivers Senior Apartments, $8,585,000 in new Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds; St. Anthony Foundation, $11,300,000 in Variable Rate Revenue Bonds; NorthBay Healthcare Group, $2,612,000 in Lease Revenue Bonds; Casa De Las Campanas, $45,645,000 in Variable Rate Revenue Refunding Bonds; and Archstone Fremont Center Apartments, $43,560,000 in Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds.

Seven Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program workshops were conducted in the Bay Area over the last two months. There will be another round of different workshops this fall. ABAG did most of the work at getting 85 of 109 jurisdictions to attend these workshops. Supervisor Adams asked about the process and criteria used for the Priority Development Area applications. Kenneth Kirkey, ABAG Planning Director, responded that criteria for entry level applicants to be designated as a PDA and be eligible to apply for incentives when they become available include existing communities, near existing or planned fixed transit, and planned housing component.
