RE:MMWD Fire Flow Master Plan Improvements along Tiburon Multi-Use Path
Dear Woytek,.
Pursuant to your request, we are providing you with the Town's encroachment permit
general conditions and special instructions for the subject project. As we have
discussed during several meetings, the Town is concerned about the routing of heavy
truck traffic east of San Rafael Avenue. You have indicated that the District will
request permission from Caltrans to allow left tum movements from the multi-use path
onto westbound Tiburon Boulevard just west of San Rafael Avenue. The Town
wholeheartedly supports this proposal and is hopeful that Caltrans will concur.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding our permit requirements. We look
forward to working .cooperatively with the District on this project.
Sincerely,

RE: State Audit Findings regarding Court Revenue
Dear Mr. McIntyre:
This is an update to our meeting on February 23rdregarding the State Controller's Office
audit of court revenues for the period July 1999 through June 2004.
We expect to receive the final audit report and a determination of any interest and
penalties from the State Controller's Office in the next few weeks. Based on discussions
with the State Controller's Office and on our reading of applicable sections of the
Government Code, the Court and County are responsible for any penalties due on the
state portion of these revenues that were not remitted during the five-year audit period.
Accordingly, your city will not be responsible for the delinquent penalties
related to the County's under-remittance to the State.
When vve receive the final audit report, 'we '\t\ril~ meet with you to structure a repayment
schedule that would begin in FY 2006-07. Although cities and the College of Marin
would have the option of a lump-sum payment, we have been advised that repayment
could be scheduled over up to a five-year period. Payments over time would include
interest on unpaid amounts at the state pooled investment rate and would be deducted
from each jurisdiction's regular ongoing monthly distribution of court revenue.
As stated in my December 2005 letter, the overpayments to the cities and College of
Marin occurr~d due to errors in the complex calculations that are programmed into the
Court's outdated case management system. The County Information Services and
Technology Department is in the final stage of reprogramming the distribution of traffic
violation rev~nue related to traffic school and the. correct distribution should be in place
for FY 2006-07.

Because the State Controller's Office audit ended with June 2004, we will compute the
additional overpayments that you will have received from July 2004 through June 2006.
We will provide the additional totals as soon as they have been determined.
Thank you for your cooperation in resolving these issues. If you have questions, please
contact Neil Cossman, Court Financial Officer, 473-6037, or

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
AND
MUTUAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS
This Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims (hereinafter" Agreement")
is made and entered into on this t-rx. day of ItJAC/2006 between the Town of
Tiburon (hereinafter "Town") and the Reed Union Sch~strict (hereinafter "District")
to formalize termination of their involvement with respect to all" issues raised or that
could have been raised in connection with the District's obligation to pay assessments
imposed by the Town on District property within the Del Mar Supplemental Assessment
District ("Proposed Supplemental District")
RECIT ALS
A. Since January 2003, the Town has pursued the formation of an assessment district
to fina1.1ce the undergrounding of overhead utilities in the Del Mar Valley area. In.
June 2003, the Town adopted a resolution of intention to form the Del Mar Valley
Utility . Undergrounding Assessment District ("Assessment District"). The
District owns real property within the boundaries of that assessment district. In
May 2005, the Town passed an initial assessment.
B. The District believes that under Sections 5301 aI;1d 5303 of the California Streets
and Highways Code, the Town is obliged to pay any assessments levied against
the District property. The District also contends that in the event it is determined
that Sections 5301 and 5303 of the California Streets and Highways Code are
abrogated by article xm D, S 4(a) of the California Constitution, that the District
property is exempt from the assessment because its property receives no special
benefit from the assessment district. The Town disputes both contentions.
C. The Town is now considering creating a second, supplemental district
("Supplemental Assessment District") to impose additional assessments
("Supplemental Assessments") to cover projected funding shortfalls for the
project. As recited above, the parties disagree as to the District's obligations to
pay any assessments.
D. On March 20, 2006, the Town adopted a resolution preliminarily approving the
Engineer's Report for the Supplemental Assessment District and directing related
actions, including setting the dates for balloting and mailing ballots. On March
24, 2006, ballots, a notice of assessment, description of the assessment method,
and information concerning the hearing to be held May 8, 2006 were mailed to
the property owners. The final total Supplemental Assessment attributable to the
District is $86,000. May 8, 2005 is the deadline for voting on the assessment. On
that date, the Council will hold a public hearing, tabulate ballots and, if sufficient
property owners approve, the Council will decide whether to form the
Supplemental Assessment District.

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to
an existing single-family dwelling on property located at 138 Lyford Drive. A new pool
equipment and storage shed and outdoor barbecue area would be constructed along the
southwestern (right) side of the property. A wooden trellis would cover much of the
barbecue area. Decks on three levels of the house extending toward the rear of the
property would be replaced and slightly extended. A series of retaining walls would be

constructed in the rear yard. As a I5-foot side yard setback is required in the RO-2 zone,
a variance is requested for reduced side yard setback.
Michael Heckmann, architect, discussed the project and noted that the objective was to
re-orient the activity areas more towards the main access points from the house. Mr.
Heckman also noted that after discussion with the neighbor at 134 Lyford Drive, they
have elected to remove the elements to which she objected, including the barbeque area,
trellis, pool equipment and storage building.
Chair Bird asked if the pool equipment would be relocated. Mr. Heckmann responded
that the applicant would meet with the neighbor before deciding.
Boardmember Teiser noted that the submitted plans proposed to place the pool equipment
in the setback. He advised the applicant that for future applications he would have
problems justifying the request for a setback variance for such equipment as the lot has
plenty of other places for pool equipment.
Mr. Watrous noted that he spoke to the neighbor at 134 Lyford Drive and she had no
objectionS to the rest of project.
Boardmember Teiser noted that with the revised plans he had no objections to the
application.
Boardmember Doyle agreed, noting that his only issues were with portions of the project
that have been eliminated from the application.
MIS, TeiserIBeales (passed 4-0) to determine that the project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions
of approval as set forth in the Staff report, as amended, to reflect the plans
submitted on April 19, 2006, with no variance granted.

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to
an existing two-story single-family dwelling on property located at 10 Southridge Drive
East. Changes to existing upper level of the house include the construction ofa.new
family room, office and entry, and expansion of the existing master bedroom suite and
breakfast nook. A new bedroom and bathroom would be added to the lower level, and
the interior stairway would be modified. Six (6) new skylights are proposed to be
installed. The lot coverage on the site would only be increased to 3,383 square feet
(14.8%), which is less than the 15.0% maximum lot coverage permitted in the RO-2
zone.
Michael Heckmann, architect, discussed the project. He noted that the neighbor to the
east was concerned about the extension of the addition into the side yard area and that the
plan has been modified slightly to address the concern. Mr. Hec~nn also noted that
the applicant also met with the Leungs to ensure privacy between the two properties
Boardmember Teiser asked about landscape plans and who would choose the materials.
Mr. Watrous explained that a requirement to provide the plans could be imposed as a
condition of approval.
Mr. Heckmann discussed the proposed skylights and their positioning in the house.
Boardmember Teiser noted that ,he was concerned about relying on the trees to provide
screening for the skylights as trees are sometimes removed due to mishaps during the
renovation process. Boardmember T eiser also mentioned that shields are sometimes used
to help block the skylights and asked if that is an option. Mr. Heckmann noted that the
trees are not in jeopardy with this project.
Georgann Fuller, owner, discussed the project and addressed the tree situation.
Michael Rex, architect representing Rick and Lalita Waterman, stated that the Watermans
were opposed to the six proposed skylights. They have suggested installing louvers over
skylights, automatic blinds powered by photocells, or dome-type solar tubes to address
their concerns.
Lalita Waterman voiced concerns about the visual impact of trees that could be planted
on the property from her office and bedroom.
Mr. Heckmann responded that all possible efforts have been made to mitigate any effect
on the Waterman's.
Boardmember Teiser stated that he does not think it is necessary to move or eliminate
skylights, but he was concerned about vegetation that does not completely obscure the
skylights. He felt that some kind of shielding might be helpful and wondered whether
Staff could review the design of the skylights as a condition of approval. He noted that
privacy issues between neighbors can be resolved by planting vegetation on either side.

Boardmember Doyle noted the applicants have a great house with a great aesthetic and
that the addition works really well. He said that he did not have an issue with the
skylights that face the opposite direction. He felt that there is a simple solution to shield
one or two skylights that would stop a little bit of the light at night. He said that the issue
of possible trees to be planted on the side of the property is off the table.
Boardmember Beales thought that the project is a good design, and felt that the applicant
had demonstrated that the skylights are not an issue. He stated that the uphill-facing
skylights would be screened and the others would not look any different than other
downhill windows. He said that it is difficult to screen skylights that are so far below an
uphill house. He stated that the Leungs do not have a privacy problem as their home is
50 feet away from this house. He said that he can support the project as is.
Chair Bird stated that the design is a lovely improvement and very respectful She said
that the bathrooms would not be used often enough to create an issue with their skylights,
especially for skylights oriented away from the uphill neighbors. Chair Bird supported
the project as is.
MIS, TeiserlDoyle (passed 4-0) to determine that the project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions
of approval as set forth in the StafT report, with the revised roofline as indicated on
plans submitted at the meeting, and an additional condition of approval requiring
the skylight design to be reviewed by Planning Division Staff as to skylight type,
design and shielding, to address any potential for nighttime light pollution.

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of a new two-

story house on the site would be demolished. The proposed house would cover 2,955
square feet (15.0%) of the site, which is the maximum lot coverage permitted in the RO-2
zone. The proposed house would have a floor area of3,410 square feet, which is less
than the maximum floor area permitted for a lot of this size.

Phoebe Holscher, architect, discussed the project. She explained changes to the driveway
and retaining wall designs made in response to concerns raised by several neighbors.
Boardmember Beales asked about if the proposed solar panels would be installed on the
flat portion of the roof: Ms. Holscher noted that the solar panels will be indistinguishable
from the roof.
Boardmember T eiser asked about the pine trees near the driveway and Ms. Holscher
noted that the trees would be cut down and replaced with citrus trees.
Roger Neal stated that this house is behind the subject property and that he had not had
time to review the plans as he was on vacation. He stated that the volume of house is
significant and would be inconsistent with other homes in the neighborhood.
In response to a query by the Board, Planning Manager Watrous noted that Mr. Neal's
house is slightly larger than the proposed house and is situated on a much smaller lot.
Jim Russell stated that he is concerned about three quarters of the morning sunlight from
his den being blocked out as well as the proposed concrete retaining wall.
Mark Morris noted that the applicants have been very cooperative in addressing his
concerns regarding the chimney.and the landscape. Mr. Morris also noted that he would
like the house to be lowered into the ground so the home would more closely match the
slope of the hill.
Ms. Holscher noted that the neighbors' houses do not cut into the hillside and that the
retaining wall would barely stick out of the ground at one point. Ms. Holscher also noted
that with so much vegetation she felt that the retaining wall did not need any color or
different material.
Boardmember Beales stated that with regards to the neighbor looking at wall, imbedded
color would do a lot to hide it. He noted that Mr. Neil's house seems to be quite a ways
up the hill, and therefore the view angle should not be an issue. Boardmember Beales
stated that the only issue was the Mediterranean design, but he can support the project as
it is.
Boardmember Doyle thought that the wall issue can be solved pretty easily, possibly with
plantings. He also noted that the Neals' primary view does not look directly into the
entry. Bo~dmember Doyle said that he would like to see the house dug into the hillside,
but he acknowledged that this would be difficult to accomplish. He said that the design is
very nice and site appropriately.
Boardmember Teiser agreed that would be a nice idea to dig in the house, as this would
eliminate any sunlight issue for the Russells and make for a better driveway turnaround.
He felt that facing, possibly a false rock face, on the concrete retaining walls would help
until the plants grow in.

Chair Bird noted that her first impression was that the house was very large, especially
when viewed from the street, but felt that the design was understandable. She said that
the applicants are trying to expand within their existing building footprint in a
neighborhood oftwo~story homes. She added that whatever can be done to the retaining
walls to make the Russells comfortable would be very helpful. Chair Bird also noted that
Pittosporum is good for screening and that the driveway issues have been addressed. She
said that she could support the project as is.
MIS, Bealesl Doyle (passed 4-0) to determine that the project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of CEQA and approve the application subject to the conditions
of approval as set forth in the Staff report.
