Peggy Curran From: Klaus Meinberg [kmeinberg@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 2:30 PM To: Peggy Curran Subject: Paradise Drive paving August 21, 2007 Tiburon Town Council uJ<<S+ I have learned from Mr. Pitrie that Paradise Drive from Mar Centro to Mar ~ will only get a 1/4 inch thick slurry seal. Paradise Drive is a major thoroughfare. The road had a rough and uneven surface for the past 25 years and the re Underground Project has increased the problem dramatically. Driving over it daily is a roller coaster experience for automobiles but very dangerous for bicycles. Virtually hundreds of cyclists ride on Paradise Drive every weekend. While cars travel an approximate speed of 20 mph on that street cyclists go as fast as 40 mph. Tiburon needs only one bad cycle accident to be sued for damag Just remember the accident of about 15 yrs ago when a cyclist got into the tiny groove between the asphalt roadw; and the concrete shoulder on Paradise just pass the Donohue building. He catapulted over the handlebars of his bicycle and hit the lonely fire hydrant on the lawn of the Point Tiburon condos. He died and his estate sued the TO\ of Tiburon. The Town settled for $80,000. Now is the time to do it right. Repave Paradise Drive. Thank you, Klaus Meinberg 2275 Mar East 8/21/2007 ~. DI@EST Peggy Curran From: Nicholas Nguyen Sent: Monday, August 27,20074:08 PM To: kmeinberg@comcast.net Cc: Peggy Curran Subject: FW: Paradise Drive paving Hello Mr. Meinberg: Thank you for your note and interest in this matter. I completely understand your concerns about safety. We certainly recognize that resurfacing roads is good maintenance practice that not only enhances the look of the neighborhood but also provides for a smoother and safer traveled way for all users. As we discussed over the phone last week, the Town reviewed the pre-existing conditions of the roads within the Lyford Cove undergrounding project and made various decisions for resurfacing based on the Town's adopted undergrounding district street resurfacing policy, sound judgment, and value engineering. In all cases for the Lyford Cove area, we have gone beyond the adopted policy to ensure good results. Paradise Drive had a pavement condition index, a report-card if you will, of 90 out of 100 prior to the beginning of the project. This is a very high score signifying the road was in very good condition. Although the road was subsequently trenched for the undergrounding project rendering it very unsightly and bumpy, the structural integrity of the road was not compromised. Correspondingly, it is unnecessary to provide a structural overlay for the road. However, we did do extensive pavement leveling with asphalt at various sections of Paradise to improve the ride. We plan to do more leveling before we provide a Caltrans-specification slurry seal over the top to bridge smaller road imperfections and create a new "wearing" surface. Having said that, I would also like to convey the notion that it is difficult to render a perfect solution to a dynamic infrastructure, such as road pavement. This is particularly true for the current Paradise Drive now that it has various utility vaults and boxes in the middle of the traveled way. These boxes and vaults are large in area and level. Once placed within the twisting and undulating surface of Paradise Dr. they will unavoidably disrupt the smoothness and flow of the road. I appreciate your input and support of this project. If I can provide further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. Best, Nicholas T. Nguyen, P.E. Director of Public Works / Town Engineer Town of Tiburon 415-435-7388 www.ci.tiburon.ca.us DIGEST 3. RECEIVED AUG 2 8 2007 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TlBURON City of Tiburon/Belvedere Chamber of Commerce Tiburon Ark RE; PARKING FEES IN TIBURON Since the addition of parking lots in the town of Tiburon that charge $ 4.00 and $ 5.00 it's becoming a serious problem asking my friends to join me for a walk and lunch, or a movie or coming to town to shop and have dinner. No one wants to pay the $ 4.00 or $ 5.00 to go to a movie when we can go elsewhere and not pay. It is not fair that residents of Tiburon or Belvedere should be paying to come into their own town. Having two hour parking meters is one thing but to spend anytime at all with friends is becoming difficult. My friends will not come anymore and therefore I find I leave the area and go to other communities for my activities. This is beginning to happen to a lot of others, as well. I would like to make a suggestion, that perhaps those of us who do live in the area have a sticker on our windshields that would indicate we are residents and eliminate the parking fees. It is done in other townships and even in parts of San Francisco. Otherwise, the merchants are going to start to suffer from lack of patronage and the goose that is laying the golden egg is going to dry up. It is one thing for a tourist to come and spend the day here...it's quite another for a resident to come to town to go to the local movie house and be charged for their car as well. ..why bother to come when there are other areas that do not.. The joy of living in this area is the small town atmosphere and the local shops, restaurants and the movie house but it all seems to be changing ...me thinks the restaurants, shops and movie house are not very happy either. ,-!;d~fl . 3 ~ L. ~ ~ ,.;.

Business of the Month Red Dot As soon as Elisaveta and Sam Doe bought Cake, the shop at the comer of Main Street and Tiburon Boulevard, they set out to transform the store's image from a chain that sells clearance items into an upscale shop. The first step was to change the name to Red Dot. Red Dot now is known as a boutique that carries trendy clothes for all ages and every occasion, in addition to a place where customers can nave fun. The owners hold special evenings such as "Cotton Candy Tuesdays," "Cupcake Thursdays," and "Strawberry Saturdays," plus wine tasting outings on the Angel Island Ferry with fashion shows. There are three Red Dot stores: The first one is in San Francisco, another is in Mill Valley and now the Tiburon shop. Elisaveta handles the fashion side, doing most of the traveling to trade shows in New York, Los Angeles and Europe, picking out casual, dressy and hip-oriented styles, with prices ranging from low to high. Some of the recognizable names are "Free People," "Billy Blues," "Sllper Lucky Cat" and "Marlow." Red Dot also offers belts, sunglasses, scarves, jewelry, hats and shoes. Other brands it carries are jewelry by Nancy Higginbotham and Kiele Designs, handbags from Tano and Skin and underwear by Honeydew. Sam is the busi- ness manager of the three Red Dot stores. Born in Okinawa as an II air force bra t," he ended up in Kansas when his dad was stationed there. Beginning college at age 16, he earned two degrees: one in computer science and another in architecture. He later was in the computer game- making business for 18 years and is the author of a book on the subject. Elisaveta is a native of Bulgaria who has always dreamed of owning her own boutique. She earned her degree in fashion before coming to the U.5. After the pair were' married two years ago, they began thinking about running a business together. Red Dot is at 10 Main Street. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. During Friday Nights on Main the store is open until 8 p.m. Phone, 435-2253. .THE.... .?JVW~ ~J MaviJ GROUP ------ .......

August 18, 2007 Council Member Alice Fredericks 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon Ca 94920 Dear Council Member Alice Fredericks: Weare writing to you to provide a review on activities of several other jurisdictions in Marin County who have adopted or who are currently reviewing and considering adopting amendments to their ordinance regulating smoking. As you are aware.the Marin Board of Supervisors recently updated their smoke-free air ordinance that now restricts smoking in certain outdoor places where nonsmoker exposure is a concern and updates restrictions and removes obsolete provisions in the indoor section of ordinance. Based on provisions in use elsewhere, this model ordinance restricts smoking in areas of concern not covered by older ordinances or state laws. The Marin model contains the following components: · Outdoor dining areas at restaurants/bars . Within 20' of building openings or entrances (public and private) · Increase smoke-free hotel and motel rooms to reflect the fact that over 80% of public does not smoke( 80% rooms smoke-free) · Outdoor service waiting lines; ATMs, bus stops (no smoking within 20 feet) · Outdoor work areas; construction sites (no smoking within 20 feet) · Outdoor public gathering places such as fair, farmer's markets, sports events and major performances To coincide with the adoption of the County ordinance, that took effect February 14,2007, the Tobacco Related Disease Control Program set up a website (www.smokefreemarin.com ) to assist policy makers, businesses and citizens with the implementation of this health policy. In the six months the web site (www.smokefreemarin.com) has had over 30,000 hits. In addition to the website activity the Tobacco Related Disease Control Program has received many requests for decals (from business' who are required to post and many who are posting the decal voluntarily) and assistance to implement the law. To date their have been very few complaints or violations to the County Ordinance but we have received many requests asking if other jurisdictions are considering the adoption of similar policies. Weare contacting you with an offer to support or assist you in any way we can. The staff, under the leadership of Elizabeth Emerson (who is currently on medical leave through October) and the attorney's at the Technical Assistance Legal Center are available to help your city. I invite you to visit our website at (www.smokefreemarin.com ) to view the updated County ordinance, the Implementation Toolkit and the research that supports the proposed policies. Your past support and commitment to protecting the health of all residents and visitors is exemplary.
