Dear Tiburon Homeowners Associations:
Hello! I write with two topics:
Firstly, I am delighted to announce that the Town is starting up an e-
newsletter entitled Tiburon Talk. This electronic missive will be sent to
subscribers monthly - with perhaps greater frequency over time or if
situations arise which necessitate urgent communication - with the goal of
keeping readers abreast of what's happening with their Town government.
Our intent is to make it informative but also brief. In this manner we hope to
keep it manageable to produce, enjoyable to read and timely.
I need your help to get residents signed up. Interested parties should go to
the Town's homepage at www.ci.tiburon.ca.us and click on "News and
Newsletters". At the bottom there is a place to subscribe by simply entering
one's e-mail address. Subscribers will automatically be sent Tiburon Talk.
For those Tiburon residents who do not have e-mail, the Town is willing to
print and send out, monthly, any electronic mailings that have been
produced. Those requiring this service should write back to me at the
address on this stationery with their contact information. We don't want
anyone to be left out of the loop.
Secondly, I am just now coming up on my fIrst anniversary with Tiburon as
Town Manager. It has been a great year for me, and I have had the pleasure
of meeting many of you at HOA meetings and in other settings. Still, there
are many I have not yet met, so I wish to extend an invitation (or perhaps
solicit an invitation). If you would like me to attend an HOA gathering to
get to meet members of your neighborhood or to provide an update on Town
activities, I would be happy to work with you to find a date and make it
happen. Some of my most informative (and enjoyable) encounters with
residents have been in this type offorum. Rather than leave these get-
togethers to chance, I'd like to encourage them through this outreach. I can
be contacted at pcurran@ci.tiburon.ca.us or 435-7383. I hope to hear from
some of you over the next few months to set something up.
Thank you in advance for helping me get the word out about Tiburon Talk
and I hope to meet more of you later this year and beyond.
Have a wonderful autumn.
Best regards,
r~~
Town Manager

MEMORANDUM
TO: Peggy Curran, Town Manager
FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Development ~~
SUBJECT: Broom Committee Update
DATE: September 21, 2007
Public Works Director Nick Nguyen and I met again with the Broom Committee on September
18, 2007. We followed up on items discussed at our first meeting on August 10, 2007,
especially on the status of the "urgent need" work.identified at the initial meeting.
At the first meeting, the Committee had identified a short "urgent need" list that included two
relatively small areas of broom and pampas grass infestation that were imminently threatening
state- and federally-protected plant species in the Middle Ridge area. A third and larger area
involved a Monterey Pine cluster. The Public Works Director agreed to have Town Public Works
crews remove the smallest and most threatening patch of broom. That work was completed by
mid-August, taking 18 man-hours of labor.
At our second meeting, Staff and the Committee concluded that the second and third "urgent
need" priorities (the pampas grass cluster and the Monterey pine tree cluster) were beyond the
abilities of Public Works crews, and that there was a need to secure outside proposals for the
work. Staff and the Committee agreed that the Committee would prepare a write-up and
graphics, as well as mark the pampas grass cluster in the field, such that the Public Works
Director could secure bids from qualified firms.
Staff and the Committee agreed that additional cost estimates could be secured for general
invasive plant removal along the Middle Ridge Slope Fire Road, but that it would probably be
advisable to wait until the County Fire Department had completed its planned and approved fire
road rehabilitation work, since some of the invasive plants along the fire road would be removed
during that process.
Staff advised the Committee as to the limited budget line item ($20,000) for preparation of the
Open Space Management Plan and any invasive plant removal during this fiscal year. Staff
noted that a budget amendment would almost certainly be required to fund even the "urgent
need" invasive plant removal, and that Staff could not guarantee a particular outcome from the
Town Council on that budget request. Staff also noted that the Council would be unlikely to
authorize ongoing invasive removal projects in the absence of a Management Plan, although it
might approve the initial "urgent need" work.

The Honorable Tom Gram

TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE
TOWN OF TIBlJRON
Dear Mayor Gram,
RE: Eradicate Social Host Ordinance
In Tiburon, the recently approved Social Host Ordinance that imposes civil
penalties on adults who hold loud or unruly parties in which underage guests consume
alcohol is ineffective. This new ordinance simply fmes parents for underage drinking
activities, but does not guarantee the parent to punish their child. Therefore, it is likely
that the same viscous cycle of drinking without punishment will end up reoccurring
numerous times. The majority of underage drinkers in Marin County are teenagers in
high school, and by not directly punishing the teenagers involved in the drinking, only
results in the lack of incentive for them to change their habits. This ordinance only
encourages teenagers to work harder not to get caught or to not host events.
:As a teenager in Marin County, I have noticed no significant change in teenage
drinking habits since the enactment of this ordinance. Marin underage drinking rates are
at an all. time high; these statistics are not being denied. However, this ordinance will not
put a direct end to this problem.
Underage drinkers will find a way to drink, even if house parties are eliminated.
Drinkers will end up flocking to public areas, which in turn can result in more cases of
drunk driving. If the main goal of this ordinance is to limit teen drinking, there are more
effective ways of going about such an issue. Consider immediate productive alternatives
such as an increase in mandatory alcohol counseling in high schools and colleges.
Another way to prevent alcohol is to put more money into encouraging teens to
participate in after school activities. The use the police force could also be more effective
through better investigating how teenagers are purchasing alcohol. This will help stop
drinking at the source.
Locations are always subject to change and fines will be able to be paid. It is more
important to get to the root of this problem, which is educating teens on the dangers and
health risks of alcohol, rather than punishing parents with fines. Please write back with
your opinion on the matter.
Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely,
.~U~

To the Tiburon Town Council
Ms. Crane and Town Council,
It is with sadness that I resign from the Heritage & Arts commission. I had been appointed
to the Marin Woman's Commission a week before I applied to Heritage & Arts. I stupidly
neglected to check on meeting dates and was chagrined to learn that both commissions meet
on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7-9. I spoke to Peggy Bremer and Joan Palmero
about the conflict and we tried to work a compromise so that I could serve on both but,
alas, this was not to be. I told Joan and Peggy that I would volunteer and do whatever I
could for the Heritage & Arts Commission. I am so sorry to cause the Council and the
Commission this problem. I would love to serve on a Tiburon Commission in the future when
I can. Thanks so much for considering me for this wonderful group.

Present: Chair Doyle, Boardmembers Corcoran, Glassner and Teiser
Absent: Vice-Chair Frymier
Ex-Officio: Planning Manager Dan Watrous, Associate Planner Tyler, Assistant Planner
Phillips and Minutes Clerk Harper
B. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None
C. STAFF BRIEFING
Planning Manager Watrous noted that the item for 544 Silverado Drive was continued to the
September 20, 2007 meeting. He also noted that Kol Shofar synagogue has submitted their
application for expansion and staff will most likely schedule a special DRB meeting for the item
due to the high attendance at previous Town meetings.
D. OLD BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD

9 BURRELL COURT
EXCEPTION
HARIRI, ADDITIONSN ARIANCEIFLOOR AREA
On April 5 and August 2, 2007, the Design Review Board reviewed an application
for the expansion and additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with
variances for reduced front yard setback and excess lot coverage. During the
meetings, several of the adjacent neighbors on Burrell Court and Reed Ranch Road
objected to the proposal, which included adding a partial second story to the home.
Concerns raised included that the subject property already had a view to the south,
and the addition of a second story would not only enhance the view, but result in a
looming structure over Reed Ranch Road, block views for neighbors around Burrell
Court, and create a home that would look out of character with the neighborhood.
The application was continued in both instances, with direction that the applicant
work more closely with neighbors to come to a better solution to expand the
residence. At the August .2 meeting, it was the consensus of the Design Review
Board that the house design appeared to have been relatively unchanged and
needed to be further modified to lower the roofline, possibly by excavating below the
house. The application was continued to the September 6 meeting. Revised plans
have again been submitted for the project.

house called for shrubs to be planted, and he felt that planting the shrubs would have been a good
gesture to the neighbors.
Boardmember Glassner stated that the solution to this project is not to pl~t taller trees, but to
make the second story smaller.
Chair Doyle said he had no problems with the design originally and still did not, except that the
house is at the end of the view corridor on this cul-de-sac. He stated that the applicant was
instructed to work with neighbors on identifying other approaches but this was not done, and
although some things were changed, the suggestions of the Board were mainly ignored. He said
that he would like to see solutions that spread area out on the lot in a different way, possibly with
just the master bedroom upstairs. He noted that the other two-story houses in the area do not
have the same effect as this design and he requested other options be pursued.
Planning Manager Watrous recommended that if the Board was interested in continuing the item,
it should confirm with the applicant whether or not they are willing to make such changes.
Chair Doyle asked if the applicant was willing to look at other options or would rather have
Board deny the application. Mr. Heckmann requested the Board vote on the project tonight and
said they have looked at other solutions.
ACTION: It was MIS (Corcoran/Glassner) to direct staff to prepare a Resolution denying
the application to be brought back at the next meeting for approval. Vote: 3-0-1 (Teiser
abstained).

23 OLD LANDING ROAD
HARLE, NEW DWELLING
The application to construct a new single-family residence at 23 Old Landing Road
was first reviewed at the July 19, 2007 Design Review Board meeting. At that
meeting concerns were raised by several neighbors along Old Landing Road about
the visual prominence of proposed house design, particularly when viewed from the
roadway below the site. The neighbors felt that the two-story design and size of the
house would be inconsistent with the rural character of the Old Landing Road
neighborhood. The Design Review Board shared some of these concerns, and
recommended that the upper floor be reduced in size to decrease the visual mass of
the house. The application was continued to the September 6,2007 meeting to give
the applicants time to address these concerns. Revised plans have now been
submitted.
Jonathon Harle, owner, said plans for the house design had been revised and two
meetings had been held with neighbors. He said that the master bedroom was
moved from the second floor to the first floor of the house, with a guest room now to
be situated to the rear of the second floor. The sides of the second floor have been
moved in from those of the first floor and the ridgeline of the house has been
lowered 2 feet, 9 inches. They also redesigned all pitches to be hip roof sections,

used a stucco bottom to soften the exterior of the house and board and batten wood
siding was kept for the second floor of the house. He showed photographs of 15 other
two-story houses on .Old Landing Road, stating that 5 of the homes were 4,000 square feet or
larger. He stated that he believed they had addressed the design .concerns, adding that the house
did not require variances and complied with all zoning requirements.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Susan Bolle said her house was south of the Harle's residence and that she was representing 25
neighbors who signed the letter presented at the last meeting. She said that some of the
neighbors had met with Mr. Harle and his architect to express their concerns. She reiterated her
concerns regarding the rural and secluded character of the Old Landing Road neighborhood and
felt that the height and mass of the second story and the overall size and square footage of the
house were not compatible with the neighborhood. She noted that the applicant had returned
with a plan which reduced the second story height but increased the floor area and lot coverage,
and she felt that it was still a big house. She said that the neighbors were disappointed with the
landscape plan which would not preserve the privacy and seclusion from the street. She stated
that there are 25-30 foot eucalyptus trees on the southern border on her property which had not
been pruned for two years which screen the house for now, but that the Harles' are relying on
fruit trees which are close to dying to provide screening from the roadway. She suggested that
more shrubbery be planted along the front property line and recommended that the applicant be
asked to plant Privet trees along the southern border which would help provide additional
screemng.
Boardmember Corcoran asked if Ms. Bolle was requesting screening between the fence and
eucalyptus trees. Ms. Boley replied that additional screening vegetation would be helpful, and
also asked that the .square footage of the home be limited.
Mr. Harle referred to a photograph showing the eucalyptus trees on Ms. Bolle's property, stating
that only a small portion of the existing or proposed house would be visible from her property.
He also said the landscape plan includes a 42 inch wall and a 5-6 foot tall hedge. He said that
they followed all of the Hillside Guidelines and had set the house back 80 feet from the street.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Teiser supported the project, stating that the design was very attractive and a more
balanced looking house that would be a significant improvement to the existing situation. He felt
the issue of the floor area was something the Board was facing across all older neighborhoods,
where people do not want increased floor area until it is time to sell their own property, and then
the sales price is uses to justify a larger house. He noted that the Board has been sympathetic to
changes over time as long as homes do not obscure views or create too much mass. He said that
the landscaping plan was sensitive and noted that the neighbor could plant additional landscaping
to complement the eucalyptus trees along her property line. He said that the applicant had made
efforts to work with the neighbors and had made changes that were sensitive to their concerns.

Boardmember Glassner said neighborhoods change but they also can get run down over time.
He stated that the current home and its landscaping had become an eyesore. He felt that the
landscaping plan would be an improvement. He felt that the applicant took the Board's
comments to heart and that the design and roofline changes were consid~rate. He stated that the
house would be consistent in scale with other homes recently completed in the neighborhood.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that the Old Landing Road neighborhood was beautiful and
unlike many in town because of its country-like, rural feel. He noted the existence of many
newer and older homes and a mixture of smaller and larger homes. He felt the redesign
addressed the Board's and neighbor's concerns. He noted that the lot has an open feel, and the
house looks closer to the street than it actually is. He liked the rock walls, shrubs and
landscaping which would make the house private enough. He stated that if the eucalyptus trees
were not there, a privacy concern might arise, but he felt it was not necessary to require the
applicant to plant another line of trees along the southern property line. He complimented the
applicant for working with the neighbors.
Chair Doyle said that because the home was on a rise, the plantings hide part of the house. He
said that many of the other houses in the neighborhood were as big or bigger and others that
looked much bigger. He thanked the applicant for revising the project, and stated that there was
a great distance between the house and the adjacent home, with the second floor moved back
even further to enhance privacy. He felt the landscape plan was well done and suggested that
tree planting can be worked out in the future with the neighbors. He noted that the proj ect was
under the floor area ratio and within the Town's guidelines.
ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Glassner) that the project is exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the application subject to the
conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report. Vote: 4-0.

19 PLACE MOULIN
ALMN ALENTINO, ADDITIONS/APPEAL
The Design Review Board reviewed the appeal at the August 16, 2007 meeting. At
that time, the architect for the applicant presented revised plans that had been
discussed with the appellant that included modifications to the driveway, terrace
and fence designs. The appellant indicated preliminary acceptance of the revisions,
but requested more information about the revised plans. It was the consensus of the
Design Review Board that the revised plans needed to be presented in more detail,
and that the location of some of the improvements (including fencing, driveway
locations and possible retaining walls) needed to be marked on the site. The appeal
was continued to the September 6 meeting to give the applicant time to submit the
revised plans and mark the improvements on the property.
Mohamad Sadrieh, architect, described the revised plans, indicating that there would be proper
planting area for 39 pittosporum adjacent to the trail easement area. He described the relationship
of the shrubs to the fence location marked by stakes in the field. He stated that he walked the
pathway with Boardmember Corcoran to review heights and setbacks, and noted that the top of
the bank was about 6 feet higher than the path itself and that the path has a current clear width of
TIBURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #15

between 3.5 to 5 feet. He recommended the installation of a short wooden fence adjacent to the
portion of Tiburon Ridge Trail which borders the property, the design of which wopld mimic the
appearance of the wooden fence on the opposite side of the traiL He said that wooden wall
would have a maximum height of only 36 inches and would be exempt ~om design review.
However, an encroachment permit would be required for construction of the proposed wall to be
reviewed by the Public Works Department. He noted that the slope shows signs of erosion and
suggested that the wall would provide stability at the base of the slope with jute netting and
ground cover to the screening plants to stabilize the hillside above. He said that the pittosporum
would be planted along the areas where there is space for shrubs, with potato vines planted in the
areas where there is not enough space. He felt Mr. Aim's idea to provide for more vertical
plantings was a good one, which he felt they could achieve.
Chair Doyle questioned drainage on the top of the wood wall. Mr. Sadrieh proposed installing
gravel in the back of the wooden wall which would allow the water to drain through the gravel
and wall.
Boardmember Corcoran confirmed there would be irrigation installed for the landscaped area.
Boardmember T eiser asked if an engineer had looked at the retaining wall and the stability of the
slope. Planning Manager Watrous said the height of the proposed small wood wall does not
require Design Review, but the Town would require an encroachment permit which would be
reviewed by the Public Works Department. Mr. Sadrieh said the small wall would not have a
retaining role since they are not undermining the slope, and as there will be no additional load,
the wall would act more as a catchment wall and a way to prevent future erosion. He noted there
were one or two locations where cutting into the bank might be necessary, but they could also
achieve this by lowering the height of the wall.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Abraham Valentino, owner, said he had the opportunity to meet with the neighbor to the south,
and that the plan meets with their approval.
. The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Corcoran thanked Mr. Sadrieh for the detail of the plans. He said that he
researched the history of the Tiburon Ridge Trail and learned that the Town had passed a $1.25
million bond measure in 1972 for the purpose of acquiring land for open space and recreation
purposes which went toward building the trail. He felt that the compromise proposed was
positive, noting that only a fraction of the easement is being used for he trail. He said that he
would support the project with the revised plans, a 4 foot minimum trail width and the wooden
wall improvements. He said that pittosporum species could be reviewed at staff level and agreed
that the three foot high retaining wall would be sufficient, noting that a wider trail would need a
taller wall.
Boardmembers Glassner, Teiser and Chair Doyle agreed, thanking Mr. Sadrieh for doing a great
job with the plans and elevations.

ACTION: It was MIS (Corcoran/Teiser) to request staff return with a resolution partially
granting the appeal to reflect the revised plans with added conditions for a minimum width
of 4 feet between the existing fences, and that the wood fence along the trail be a maximum
of 36 inches in height. Vote: 4-0.
E. NEW BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
4.
1910 STRAITS VIEW DRIVE
KA VITSKY, GUEST HOUSE/SP A
The applicant submitted a request to construct a detached guest house and a spa on
a property currently improved with a single-family home, detached garage and
swimming pool. The proposed guest house would be a two-story structure and would
include a bedroom and bathroom, wet bar, a large work-out room at the upper level.
The lower level would include a wine storage room, mechanical room, home theater,
bathroom, sauna, and a smaller work-out room.
Jim Rottmeyer, applicant, said that the guest house was originally placed further
down on the property to provide more buffering, but the Fire Department had
issues with the distance, so they brought it back up. He stated that a letter was sent to
the surrounding neighbors and response was received from Pamela Peterson who had concerns
regarding landscaping, roof material and skylight pollution. He said that in addressing those
concerns, the .owner has chosen Olive trees to minimize the impacts of stucco siding. He noted
that the roof material would e earth-colored gravel, and the skylights use diffusing gel which
would significantly prevent light pollution.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Pamela Peterson distributed pictures of views of the site from her house. She noted that
neighbors on both sides were in the process of building, and she was sure that the applicants
would address landscaping. She said that the proposal would not impact her water views, but she
hoped to minimize views of the roof. She was also concerned about light coming up from
pathway, garden pool, spa, outdoor and inside lights.
Boardmember T eiser noted that the landscaping plan shows tree planting to address lighting
concerns.
Richard Dwyer said his main concern with the project was having a second structure so close and
how it would aesthetically impact his house. He said his living room, master bedroom and den all
face the guest house location. He said he was pleased with the low profile of the structure into
the hill, but added that he would look right at it.
TIBURON DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES #15

9/6/07
Mr. Rottmeyer acknowledged similar neighbor concerns and agreed to work with them on
landscaping in order to minimize impacts from windows.
Chair Doyle confirmed that the planting of Olive trees would address wiJ.?-dow or privacy views.
Associate Planner Tyler referred to a condition of approval recommended by the Fire District.
which requires cutting and clearing all combustible vegetation within 100 feet of the
structure, which must be done annually when the natural grasses dry out in early
summer.
Chair Doyle confirmed that the equipment for the spa would be located under the stairway
leading to it.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember Glassner stated that consideration had been given to neighbors. He felt that the
roof materials were vague and was unclear about lighting. He recommended that a timer be
placed on the outdoor lighting as a condition of approval.
Boardmember Corcoran felt the home was beautiful but voiced concerns regarding the
topography and the closeness of Mr. Dwyer's home. He noted that the closeness of the homes
was a natural consequence of the site. He questioned the need for 3 skylights for an 880 square
foot guest house and preferred that the number of skylights be reduced, but otherwise felt the
project was reasonable.
Boardmember Teiser supported the project with the condition that a timer be installed on the
outdoor lighting features and that the issue with the skylights could be addressed by the new gel
skylight treatment.
Boardmember Corcoran said that he did not feel a timer device was necessary.
Chair Doyle stated that this was a reasonable building size. He noted that the structure would
have large windows and doors, and he therefore did not understand the need for the sky lights, but
since the skylights were out of view, they would be acceptable. He suggested planting more
Olive trees to help with views from Mr. Dwyer's home, and he felt that Ms. Peterson's concerns
had been addressed.
ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Corcoran) that the project is exempt from the
provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the
application subject to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff
report, with the additional condition of approval requiring that a timer for
outdoor lighting be installed, that the skylights be of a diffusing gel type, additional
landscaping be provided on the uphill neighbor side to be reviewed by staff, and that the
roof be non-reflective. Vote: 4-0.

The applicant requests approval for the expansion of a previously approved family
room addition to an existing single-family dwelling. A family room addition to the
rear of the existing breakfast nook on the main level of the house was approved by
the Design Review Board on June 7, 2007. The applicants are now proposing to
extend the addition to the rear an additional three feet. As with the previous
application, a variance is again requested for reduced side yard setback.
Mohamad Sadrieh, architect, summarized the proj ect.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember Teiser felt that the project was a minimal change from the previous approval.
Boardmember Corcoran said he could make the findings for the reduced side yard setback
variance because it is a smaller lot, other lots with similar characteristics and have been granted
variances, and the project would not be detrimental or substantially injure the neighboring
properties.

35 ROLLING HILLS ROAD
MIRA V ALLE/HIGGINS, SPAN ARIANCE
The applicant requested approval for the construction and legalization of a partially
built large spa and a series of walls at 35 Rolling Hills Road. The spa was originally
approved as a staff-level Design Review application within the rear yard setback. A
building permit was subsequently issued, but the hired contractor proceeded to
build the spa in a different location than what was approved. The applicant has now
applied to legalize the unpermitted location of the spa within the required side yard
setback, necessitating a variance for reduced side yard setback.
Mark Miravalle, owner, said they had originally delayed the project because of the
magnitude of installing concrete, piers and retaining walls and the condition of the
soil. He stated that the neighbors had no opposition to the request.
Chair Doyle confirmed that the spa equipment would be located in a room
underneath the deck adjacent to and in front of the spa.
Boardmember Teiser said he visited the home, but was confused because the drawings never
showed the original location of the spa and he was not sure he could support the request.
There were no public comments.

Boardmember Corcoran said in light of all neighbor correspondence~ it seems the applicants have
done due diligence. He said that the property most affected was next door at 45 Rolling Hills,
and that neighbor supports the request. Boardmember Corcoran felt it was a reasonable
accommodation and he could support the project.
Chair Doyle said he was initially more concerned with the noise due to the spa equipment being
so close to property ~ but the neighbors do not oppose it.
ACTION: It was MIS (Corcoran/Glassner) that that the project is exempt from the

78 RED ffiLL CIRCLE
LANY ADOO, DECKSIV ARIANCES
An application has been made to construct deck additions to the existing single-
family dwelling at 78 Red Hill Circle. The proposed deck expansions would be
situated within the required side yard setbacks up to the property lines. In order to
expand a non-conforming condition, variances are required for reduced side yard
setbacks.
Joe Lanyadoo~ owner, said the house has major dry rot problems. He said that he removed the
deck on the main floor of the living room and is requesting extension of it in an angular way so
as not to block views of the neighbors. He said the neighbor's deck on the right side was 6-7 feet
out, another neighbor had enclosed their deck, and he felt any objections to the request could be
addressed by adding a tree or other type of landscaping.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
David Kell requested the Board deny the request to extend the main floor deck, as he said they
would lose their visual privacy. He stated that no one before has ever been able to see into their
house and they cannot see into anyone else's. He noted that all 23 homes in this development
have privacy walls on each side built for the purpose of privacy and no one has ever been able to
install such a deck. He described the differences in the decks on other homes. He said the
applicant never brought the request to the neighbors. He also felt noise levels would increase
and cited existing noise problems with the applicant without the deck extension. He also
questioned the accuracy of the applicant's. drawings.
Ken Miller said 6 years ago he was faced with something relatively similar when he wanted to
extend his decks outward and, to avoid encroaching into the privacy of neighbors, he received
approval from his neighbors to extend his deck 3-4 feet at an angle. He felt the critical variable
was not extending the patio across, but out into someone else's view.

Ned Stephens said that all neighbors have been very considerate without exception, and he felt
the main concern was noise. He said the interior walls were designed for privacy and noted that
some people have built lower areas for ground floor access and extended out, but not on the
bedroom and living room floors. He felt the encroachment proposed witl1. the variance would
pose a problem and was a serious situation with all neighbors.
Keith Nordstrom said the applicant's proposal would have zero impact on his line of sight. He
noted that many people had expanded their decks, and felt the second page of the plans depicted
a better visual account of the request. He said his next door neighbor was loud but people
knowingly purchased units which are close to one another because of their views to San
Francisco Bay.
The applicant acknowledged privacy was the neighbors' issue, stating that many neighbors could
look into decks as well as living spaces and suggested landscaping to mitigate the problem.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Boardmember T eiser stated that the plans submitted were very confusing, as he could not tell
what was being proposed. He requested that the applicant provide better plans with dimensions,
and describing how the deck relates to the privacy walls. He also requested a lighting plan be
submitted and urged the applicant to work better with his neighbors. He suggested the matter be
continued.
Boardmember Glassner agreed, stating that better plans and elevations were needed, including
what the project would look like from the neighbors and below. He suggested the applicant
provide a landscaping plan to reflect screening and that he should work with the neighbors.
Boardmember Corcoran agreed, and felt it was unfortunate the project had no CC&R's to control
such issues. He acknowledged that many neighbors had made various improvements to their
units, creating privacy issues. He agreed with the need for the applicant to resolve issues with
neighbors and requested a better set of drawings.
Chair Doyle acknowledged that these were difficult homes with noise and privacy issues. He
asked the applicant to work with neighbors, stating that the plans need to clearly indicate to the
neighbors what is being proposed.
