Dear Tiburon City Council Members.
Please consider putling on the agenda [or the next meeting a resolution in support of
Falun Gong which opposes thc Chinesc regime's perseeution of praetitioners in China, as
well as of practitioners in the United States.
This is important bccause when a country persecutes so many of its citizens (there are
100 million Falun Gong practitioners in China), it affecl~ the rest of the world. For
example, I have a friend in the Bay Area who was physically assaulted by agents of the
Chinese regime because he was practicing Falun Gong in San Francisco's Chinatown, and
because he was known to be actively working on exposing the human rights abuses in
China. Furthermore. an American citizen, Dr. Charles Lee, is currently being tortured in
prison in China because he wenttherc last year to break through the media blockade and
expose the genocidc.
Sincc the persecution began in 1999, nearly 200 city councils, mayors, and other officials
in California have written resolutions and proclamations in support of Falun Gong. I fccl
that such things are important because when elected representativcs take an action that
upholds justice, it also retlccts positively on their community as a whole.
In thc packet is a sample resolution which the City of Tiburon may wish to use as a
template, and which is similar to other cities' resolutions. Also included are a copy of
Compassion Quarterly. a magazine which reports on Falun Dafa around the world; a
resolution from the Marin County Human Righl~ Commission; and a copy of US Housc
Concurrent Resolution 304. which condemns the persecution and demands that our US
govcrnment take action to protect our citizens and elected officials from harassment.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Adam Leining

City of Tiburon
Resolution in Support of Falun Gong
Whereas Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is widely recognized as a practice that promotes
better health and moral living that results in individual improvement, and in turn improves
communities as a whole;
Whereas Falun Gong, introduced by Mr. Li Hongzhi in 1992, is a self-improvement qigong
practicc rootcd in ancicnt Chinese culture and consists of five gentle meditation exercises;
Whereas the principles comprising the core of Falun Gong - Truthfulness, Compassion and
Forbearance - are important principles for all mankind to follow;
Whereas living by these principles results in a pure heart, a balanced mind and an energized
body that manifests itself in health and happiness, and empowers people to leave behind bad
habits, families to live in peace together, and communities to embrace what is virtuous and lifc
affirming;
Whereas Falun Gong welcomes people from all walks of life, and has crossed national and
cultural barriers to touch human hearts and improve lives everywhere;
Whereas under the orders offonner Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, the Chinese governmcnt has
been conducting a campaign of persecution and genocide against Falun Gong practitioners in
China;
Whereas this campaign has spread to the lives of practitioners in America, where crimcs of
burglary, assault, car bombings, and slander in the media that indorsc hate are orchestrated by the
Chinese government towards American practitioners;
Whereas Dr. Charles Lee is an American citizen currently being tortured in Nanjing, China
because he is a Falun Gong practitioner;
Whereas Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey and the Marin County Human Rights Commission
have repeatedly spoken out against the Chinese government's persecution ofFalun Gong
practitioners both in America and in China;
Whereas Freedom of Belief should be supported as a basic human right and the cornerstone of
all American policy;
Now, thel'efore, be it resolved that in support of justice and harmony it is the feeling of the
Tiburon City Council that:
1. we condemn the persecution ofFalun Gong practitioners in America and in China;
2. we ask for the freedom of Dr. Charles Lee; and
3. we support US House Concurrent Resolution 304. which condemns the persecution Falun
Gong and demands that our US government take action to protect our citizens and elected
officials from harassment by agents of the Chinese government.
MARIN COUN1Y HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
RESOLUTION ON FALUN GONG AND ITS PRACTITIONERS
Whereas, Falun Gong is a peaceful and deeply spiritual form of personal belief and practice with
many of the practitioners in the County of Marin and throughout the United States of America and
the world: and
Whereas, practitioners of Falun Gong have conducted peaceful and meditative demonstrations in
many places in the United States including the San Francisco Bay Area: and
Whereas, Chinese consular officials have pressured local elected officials in the United States to
refuse or withdraw support for the Falun Gong spiritual movement; and
Whereas, the Marin County Human Rights Commission firmly believes in upholding a citizen's
First Amendment right to freedom, personal belief and practice, expression, and assembly; and
Whereas, the Marin County Human Rights Commission also firmly believes in upholding every
citizen's fundamental right to practice and pursue their belief system in a peaceful and law
abiding manner;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, the Marin County Human Rights Commission urges the
Government of the People's Republic of China to immediately stop interfering with the exercise of
spiritual beliefs and political freedoms within the United States, such as the right to practice Falun
Gong, that are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States: and
Be It Further Resolved, that the Commission urges the Government of the People's Republic of
China to cease using its diplomatic missions in the United States to spread misinformation about
the nature of Falun Gong: and
Be It Further Resolved, that the Commission urges the Attorney General of the United States to
fully investigate reports that Chinese consular officials have committed illegal acts while
attempting to intimidate or inappropriately influence Falun Gong practitioners or local elected
officials, and, in consultation with the Secretary of State, determine an appropriate legal
response; and
Be It Further Resolved, that the Marin County Human Rights Commission extends respect and
protection of the free beliefs and peaceful activities of Falun Gong practitioners:
Adopted, the Marin County Human Rights Commission on the 14th day of January, two
thousand and three.

YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST
As a long-term resident of Tiburon, my family and I have enjoyed the heritage, community atmosphere, small town
character, comfort and uniqueness ofTiburon. Towns such as Tiburon just don't appear~ folks (community members) get
involved and work together to craft a road map for the future, .i. e., a General Plan. Tiburon's forefathers did a great
job in guiding the Town of Tiburon to where it is today; my desire is to contribute and help The Town of Tihuron
preserve our town's heritage and character, while at the same time adapting and incorporating into the town's future those
elements and changes needed for our evolving citizenship and surrounding community.
APPLICABLE OUALlFICATIONS
AND EXPERIENCE
Community involvement has always been a part of my life. Prior to moving to northern California, I volunteered as a
reserve sheriff with the Orange County Sherifls Department. Professionally, at Levi Strauss & Co" I volunteered and or
led local community involvement efforts in America as well as in Asia. As a resident of Tiburon, I am an appointed
commissioner with the POSC, a member of the town's Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee and I was an appointed
member of The Skate Park Task Force, I believe that my collaborative and consenSUS building skills have (and will)
continue to enable me to effectively participate in and / or lead cilorts on behalf of the town's citizenship and The Town

Whereas 5 Falun Gong practitioners were assaulted outside of the Chinese Consulate in Chicago
on September 7, 2001, while exercising their constitutionally protected rights to free speech,
leading to battery convictions in Cook County Criminal Court of Jiming Zheng on November 13,
2002, and Yujun Weng on December 5, 2002, both assailants being members of a Chinese-
American organization in Chicago, the Mid-USA Fujian Township Association, which maintains
close ties with the Chinese Consulate;
Whereas individuals that physically harassed Falun Gong practitioners in San Francisco on
October 22, 2000, were later seen at anti-Falun Gong meetings and the Chinese Consulate in
San Francisco;
Whereas San Francisco City Supervisor Chris Daly, after receiving complaints that Chinese
officials were intimidating his constituents, authored a resolution condemning human rights
violations and persecution of Falun Gong members by the Chinese Government;
Whereas Mr. Daly and the other members of the San Francisco City Council subsequently
received a letter from the Chinese Consul General in San Francisco, claiming that Falun Gong
was an 'evil cult' that was undermining the 'normal social order' in the People's Republic of China,
and that Mr. Daly's resolution should therefore be rejected, which it subsequently was;
Whereas in November 2000, the former Mayor of Saratoga, California, Stan Bogosian, issued a
proclamation honoring the contributions of Falun Gong practitioners to the Saratoga community,
which prompted the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco to write to Mr. Bogosian urging him to
retract his support for local Falun Gong activities;
Whereas many local and national media organizations have reported that other local officials
across the United States, including the mayors of several major cities, have been pressured by
Chinese consular officials to recant statements of support for the Falun Gong;
Whereas journalists have cited fear of hurting trade relationships as the motivation for some local
United States officials to recant their support for Falun Gong after receiving pressure from
Chinese consular officials; and
Whereas the Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of religion, the right to
assemble, and the right to speak freely, and the people ofthe United States strongly value
protecting the ability of all people to live without fear and in accordance with their personal beliefs:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of
Congress that--
1. the Government of the People's Republic of China should-
(A) immediately stop interfering in the exercise of religious and political freedoms
within the United States, such as the right to practice Falun Gong, that are
guaranteed by the United States Constitution;
(B) cease using the diplomatic missions in the United States to spread
falsehoods about the nature of Falun Gong;
(C) release from detention all prisoners of conscience, including practitioners of
Falun Gong, who have been incarcerated in violation of their rights as expressed
in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China;
(D) immediately end the harassment, detention, physical abuse, and
imprisonment of individuals who are exercising their legitimate rights to freedom
of religion, including the practices of Falun Gong, freedom of expression, and
freedom of association as stated in the Constitution of the People's Republic of
China; and
(E) demonstrate its willingness to abide by international standards of freedom of
belief, expression, and association by ceasing to restrict those freedoms in the
People's Republic of China;
(2) the President should, in accordance with section 401 (a)(l)(B) of the International Religious
Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6401 (a)(l)(B)), and with the intention of dissuading the Chinese
Government from attempting to stifle religious freedom in the People's Republic of China and the
United States, take action such as-
(A) issuing an official public demarche, a formal protest, to the Chinese Foreign
Ministry in response to the repeated violations by the Chinese Government of
basic human rights protected in international covenants to which the People's
Republic of China is a signatory; and
(B) working more closely with Chinese human rights activists to identify Chinese
authorities who have been personally responsible for acts of violence and
persecution in the People's Republic of China;
(3) the Attorney General should investigate reports that Chinese consular officials in the United
States have committed illegal acts while attempting to intimidate or inappropriately influence
Falun Gong practitioners or local elected officials, and, in consultation with the Secretary of State,
determine an appropriate legal response; and
(4) officials of local governments in the United States should--
(A) in accordance with local statutes and procedures, recognize and support
organizations and individuals that share the goals of all or part of the local
community, including Falun Gong practitioners; and
(B) report incidents of pressure or harassment by agents of the People's
Republic of China to Members of Congress, the Attorney General, and the
Secretary of State.

Dear Council:
As you know, I have previously applied for board positions on the Design Review Board

remain committed to becoming involved in the governing process of our town. The
Planning Commission seat represents what I believe to be the best match of my
qualifications and experience with the job at hand. .
While the job of municipal planning will deal with. to some extent, different issues than
my planning experience in the private sector, the process and the disciplines required to
develop and execute are quite similar. 1 believe I have strong experience and skills in this
area. But even more important, energy and leadership are the key ingredients to any
successful plan development and execution. And I would say further that there are many
great plans lying fallow because of a lack of energy and leadership in execution. I have
seen this in many companies.
It is my view that the Planning Commission should take on a more proactive role in
proposing to the Town Council and subsequently leading the execution of plans.
Hopefully, my background indicates that I can contribute substantially to that process
with a high level of energy and strong leadership.
1 remain committed to contributing to our community. Thank you for your consideration
of this application.
Sincerely,

Date Submitted: 11/20103
Reasons for Selectin2
Your Areas of Interest
I'm interested in becoming a member of the Planning Commission for the following
reasons:
1. I believe that thc proper planning and development of Tiburon is an absolutely
key element of our quality of life and that of future generations of residents and
visitors. We have to continue to strive to get it right.
2. The Planning Commission is responsible to strike a balance amongst some very
important, complex and, at times, conflicting factors:
a. The desires of the citizens of Tiburon, both individually and collectively
b. The rights and responsibilities of property owners and developers
c. The guidelines as set forth in the General Plan and other community
documents
d. The legal requirements, as set forth in CEQA and other legislative
mandates
e. The intentions, rights and responsibilities of both the County of Marin and
the Town of Tiburon
f. The interests of other community-based organizations
3. My involvement over the past 2 years on the proposed Tiburon Glen development
proceedings have given me a very close, deep and extensive involvement in the
processes of the Planning Commission. I have a good understanding of and
respect for the Commission's responsibilities and challenges.
4. In the next few years, many of the remaining large parcels ofundevcloped land in
Tiburon will be up for Planning Commission consideration. Frankly, I can see no
better time to be involved with the Commission.
5. Of these remaining parcels, many are located along the Paradise Drive corridor.
I have a deep commitment to this special area and have volunteered many hours
working with local neighborhood groups to understand their interests and to
motivate their participation in the planning process.
.
6. Lastly, I've developed a strong appreciation for the complexity of the matters
before the Planning Commission and what it takes to make decisions that are fair
and defensible. 1 certainly have my own opinions and wishes for how Tiburon
should be planned -I also however understand that the decisions made by the
Commission arc greater than any individual's wishes and must fairly balance the
many considerations 1 listed above.
Applicable Qualifications
and Experience
.
I. Knowledge of the Tiburon area. Through ORB, hiking and cycling, I know the
area well.
2. Also through my involvement on the ORB, I am very familiar with our important
reference documents, including the General Plan, zoning regulations, Hillside
Guidelines etc.
3. Strong knowledge ofCEQA (I've actually read the Act!) and the EIR
development and review process. I have over two years of hands-on experience
gained through my involvement with the Tiburon Glen development application.
4. I understand the procedures and protocols ofthe Planning Commission having
spent hours in the Commission chambers, delivering many presentations and
working with the Commissioners and Staff.
5. 1 havc a deep apprcciation for the role oflegal, environmental, traffic etc
consultants -I've hired them and worked with them closely over the past two
years. I understand their role and contribution to the process.
6. I understand and believe in the iterative Planning and EIR process. Initially it can
seem arcanc and frustrating. But 1 understand how it delivers fair outcomes and
balances the interests of diverse parties.
7. I'm a reasonably quick study and familiar with planning content and terminology,
thus able to effectively digest volumes of information (e.g. EIR's).
8. I'm an independent thinker -in my day job 1 have years of experience dealing
with complex subjects & negotiations where there are strong (and smart)
opposing viewpoints. I believe that "good" decisions must be lair, transparent,
defensible and enduring.
9. I'm also a critical thinker --I a~k a lot of questions. I seek to understand things in
a simple/clear light. I challenge assumptions and try to see issues from many
angles. I expect clarity, honesty and logic in matters I confront in my business.
I'd expect the same on the Planning Commission.
The Decisions made by the Planning Commission will impact our community for
years to come. I am very interested to serve as a member of the Planning
Commission. There will be some very tough decisions ahead. I do believe I have the
motivation, skills and commitment to serve Tiburon well in this role.
.
Thanks

REGULAR AGENDA
13. Recommendation by Town Manager - Marin County Tourism Business Improvement
District
Town Manager Mcintyre said that at its October] 5, 2003 meeting, the Council had granted the
Tiburon Peninsula Chamber of Commerce's request for further study of the proposed Marin
County Business Improvement District's (BID) business plan and operating budget. He said
that upon further study, the Chamber now recommended that the Town not join the BID and
instead, they had suggested that an affiliation with other cities and towns in Southern Marin
and/or San Francisco for the purpose of promoting tourism in this area might be a better use of
funds. . ,
Town Council Minutes # 2 J -2()()3
November /9, 2003
Page 2
.
.
.
.
Mr. McIntyre said that while the Tiburon Lodge had previously taken a neutral position on the
matter, it had now informed the Town in writing that it was opposed to joining the BID. He
said the Lodge represented 50% of the businesses [one of two hotels] in Town that would levy
the extra I % tax which would fund the BID. Based on:prior year's hotel occupancy in Tiburon,
that tax would total approximately $35,000 per year.
In response to a questio'n from Councilmember Thompson, the Town Manager said that State
Law prohibited the Town from j6ining the special assessment district if written protests were
received from businesses in the proposed area that would pay 50% or more of the proposed
assessment: However, he said that this formula must be applied to the entire district, not just
the Town.
Mayor Slavitz asked whether the BID had provided a more detailed budget proposal as
discussed in the previous meeting. Mr. Mcintyre said that he had not received anYthing other
than the draft budget.
Mayor Slavitz opened the public hearing.
Bill Blackburn, resident of San Rafael and member of the "transition committee" of the Marin
County Tourism Business Improvement District, spoke on behalf of the proposed district. He
said that he had been the General Manager of the Corte Madera Inn for the past 18 years and
was also a formcr President and currcnt boardmember of the Corte Madera Chamber of
Commerce.
Mr. Blackburn said that the Marin County Tourism and Visitor's Bureau had been formed 10
years ago and was funded by the County. However, he said that the agency would sunset at the
end of this year which would leave a vacuum in tourism promotion and that the BID was the
least expensive way that the Town could continuc to promote the city under this scenario.
Mr. Blackburn said that the assessed fee represented no cost to thc voting public, whereas an
increase in the Transit Occupancy Tax would require a two-thirds vote.
Mr. Blackburn said that the current bureau "did a great job," and listed the kinds of marketing
and promotional techniques that would be provided by the BID. He said that the County
Tourism and Visitor's Bureau budget was $100,000 per year, compared to the City of San
Francisco's $15 million per year, and the City of Sonoma's tourism budget was $2.2 million.
In response to a question from Mayor Slavitz, Mr. Blackburn said that 47% of the proposed
district budget would be spent' on promotion and marketing, while the rest of the budget would
be spent on operating expenses and salaries. He said the Board would be comprised of 17-21
Directors, with one representative appointed by each city and town (Novato and San Rafael
would have two), and some at-large representatives.
Town Council Minutes # 21-2003
November 19, 2003
Page 3
Councilmember Berger asked whether it would be possible to join the BID at a later date ifthc .
Town chose not to enter the district at this time.
Mr. Blackburn said that membership in the BID would be renewed annually, but that if its
members opted out early or joined late, as suggested by Councilmember Berger, tbe district
would be unable to realize its expectations.
Councilmember Thompson asked how the at-large representatives would be chosen. Mr.
Blackburn said that interested parties could contact the appointed representatives, as a starting
point.
'Mayor SJavitz said that he thought 53% of the budget to be spent on overhead was too high,
and he wondered how the success of the BID could be measured.
Mr. Blackburn said that the BID would be able to demonstrate how the money was spent and
that the County would conduct an annual audit.
Jim Hermann, 52 Red Hill Circle, said that he had attended the meetings with the Chamber of
Commerce and BID representatives, as well as a meeting with members of the Sausalito, Mill
Valley and Tiburon Chambers.
Mr. Hermann said that the question remained as to whether this [ioining the BID] was the best .
thing for Tiburon; he said that he had concluded that it was not. He said that the lack of a
complete marketing plan contributed to his thinking on the subject.
Marielle Swenson, Manager of the Water's Edge Hotel, said that the Chamber's suggestion for
a Southern Marin group that would promote tourism was a !;reat idea but a totally separate
issue form the BID. She asked how the Town could turn down a J % increase in the hotel tax
that would bring business to both the Town and the County as a whole.
Mayor Slavitz closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Thompson concurred with Ms. Swenson; he said that when he was Chair of
the Marin Economic Commission in 1995, tourism promotion in the County was "anemic." He
said that there was nothing to replace the current Convention and Visitor's Bureau and that the
Town had nothing to lose by joining the BID at this time. He said that if it did not work out,
the Chamber and other interested parties could form their own group.
Vice Mayor Fredericks said that if local businesses and the Chamber did not think it would be a
benefit to the Town, then the Council should not commit them to something that would be a
!,'Teater benefit for the County as a whole. She recommended waiting until more information
was developed and that there was consensus from local businesses before joining.

l4. Request by Mill Valley Refuse Service, Inc. - Revisit Single Stream Recycling
Program
Town Manager Mcintyre said that MVRS had asked for another opportunity to address the
Council on the proposed program.
Jim Iavarone, MVRS principal, said that upon further reflection, his company felt that it would
have to incur considerable additional expenses if the color of the "blue" cans was changed to
brown, at Council's request, and if Town residents were allowed to "opt in" to the delivery
program rather than "opt out."
In response to a question from Mayor Slavitz about creating an "opt out" program using 32-
gallon cans, Mr. Iavarone stressed that their experience showed that the larger (64 gallon) can
size actually encouraged recycling in other communities. He noted that the smaller cans would
preclude the recycling of some materials, such as cardboard boxes. He said that the "opt out"
program had been successful in communities such as Mill Valley.
Vice Mayor Fredericks said that she had promoted the "opt in" program idea, was well as the
. alternate can color, only because it seemed reasonable at the time and the company seemed
amenable to the proposal. However, she said that she would be willing to consider going back to
the original "opt out" program utilizing the blue can.
Councilmember Berger concurred, noting that Mr. Iavarone's letter to the Town made it clear
that the "opt in" program was not workable for the company. However, he said that he still
preferred the brown cans because the blue cans were "too visually strong."
Councilmember Thompson said he understood the "logistical nightmare" of implementing an
"opt in" program and agreed that the original program was preferable. In addition, he said that
blue was the international color for recycling and that if the goal of the recycling proh'fam was to
"change behavior," then a standardized, universal color would be preferable.
Councilmember Gram said that blue cans would be okay but noted that brown was also used in
other cities throughout the country for recycling.
Town Council Minutes # 21-2003
Novemher /9, 2003
Page 5
Mayor Slavitz agreed with the implementation of the "opt out" program for the 64-gallon cans,
but hc askcd that MVRS give adequate notice to its Tiburon customers of their options to also
receive a smaller, 32-gallon can or no can at all.
.
In addition, Slavitz recommended that the Town stay with a standardized blue can color.
Mayor Slavitz also said he liked the MVRS offer to notify customers to remove their cans from
the street if they were left out on non-pick-up days.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
To implement the "opt out" single-stream recycling program.
Berger, seconded by Fredericks
AYES: Unanimous

To adopt a brown can versus bluc can prof,'fam for recycling.

PUBLIC HEARING
15. Recommendation. by Planning Manager - Appeal of Design Review Board Denial of a
Site Plan and Architectural Review application for Construction of an Addition to an .
Existing Single-Family Dwelling, with a Floor Area Exception
Address:
Appellant:
AP Number:
81 East View Avenue
Jeff Kai ser
60-105-51
Planning Manager Watrous gave the Staff report. He said the appellant, Mr. Kaiser, had
requested a Floor Area Ratio exception in order to convert some unused space under the housc
into a 245 square foot media room, which had been denied by the Design Review Board.
Mr. Kaiser then appealed the action to the Council on the following four grounds:
. Proportionality-the relativcly small size ilfthe home made the floor area increase seem
large;
. There would be no visual impacts on surrounding properties due to minimal exterior
changes to the house;
. The physical characteristics of the property and Corinthian island justify the application;
. The proposed project would not result in intensification of use of the property.
Mr. Watrous said the Board had addressed all of the above issues in its review of the project. In
Town Council Minutes il 2J-2003
Novemher 19, 2()()3

.
.
.
.
addition, Watrous said that substantial additions to this house were approved in 1997 under a
previous Site Plan and Architectural Review application, which also included approval of
variances for reduced front, side and rear yard setbacks, excess building height and excess lot
coverage, as well as a floor area exception.
He said the appellant's proposed project would convert a'previously approved crawl space within
the existing volume of the house into living area (a media room) and would be adjacent to a
previously approved guest bedroom and bathroom.
The floor area ratio for a lot of this size would be 1,358 square feet, according to the Planning
Manager, and the requested exception for the proposed addition would bring the total floor area
to 2,369 square feet. He said that the Board had found that the proposed floor area would result
in too large a house on too small of a lot which would intensifY the use of the property resulting
in unwanted impacts on the surrounding Corinthian Island neighborhood, and had voted 4-0 to
deny the application.
In response to a question from Mayor Slavitz, Planning Ma!1ager.w atrous said that previous
Design Review Boards had not concentrated as much on limiti'ng undeveloped crawl spaces that
might later be converted into other uses. He said that rooms"With.eight-foot ceilings were not
counted in the total floor area calculations. ' " "'"
Mayor Slavitz opened the public hearing,
Michael Heckmann, architect representing the appellant, said that the Board did not make an
incorrect decision but instead did not have enough information on which to make its decision.
Heckmann said that the project was started in 2000 by a previous owner/contractor who had
alienated the neighbors. He said that Mr. Kaiser took over the project in December 2002 and it
was now close to completion, and that the proposed addition would not delay the project in any
way.
Mr. Heckmann said that most of the neighbors supported the project, and that the addition of onc
window in the new room would have no visual impact on the neighbors.
In addition, he cited the steep small lots on Corinthian Island and said that it was increasingly
common to enclose these kinds of spaces rather than hide them with lattice or other materials.
Mr. Heckmann said that there were only two properties in the neighborhood that were under the
allowed floor area ratio, and that seven properties had greater floor areas, with two almost double
their FAR. He rejected the argument that the change would make the house "too large for the
property," because the proposed room would not change the bulk and mass of the current
approved plans for the house.
The architect also raised the question of change of use by future owners, who might convert it
Town Council MinUles # 2J-2003
November 19, 2003
Page 7
into a bedroom, for instance. He said that while this was a possibility, it was not the intent of the .
current applicant. In addition, Mr. Heckmann said that the properties in the neighborhood had
many limitations and there were not too many families living there for that reason.
In conclusion, Heckmann said that this particular use resulted in virtually no change in floor area
and would have no impact on the neighborhood. He said that it made more sense to utilize the
space in this fashion and to have it be code compliant.
For all of these reasons, he asked that the Council consider upholding the appeal.
Mayor Slavitz closed the public hcaring.
Vice Mavor Fredericks said that the Board had also been concerned about additional parkihg on
- .
the site, and she raised the question of whether two cars could actually fit into the existing
garage.
Mr. Heckmann said that the propcrty had three parking spaces and pointed them out on the
drawings.
Ms. Fredericks asked whether storage spaces were required by Code to have sprinkler systems,
and whether there was a bathroom in the area being converted.
The Vice Mayor also rejected the contention that smaller lots needed excessive floor area ratios
. .
in order to make them more livable. She said that Boardmembcr Figour had aptly pointed out
that these standards changed over time and that Corinthian Island was not a good example of this
argument.
.
Mayor Slavitz concurred with the Vice Mayor. However, he said his primary concern was not an
intensification ofusc of the property but rather, the !,,'Tanting a floor area exception which would
bc inconsistent with the Council's direction to the Board.
Councilmember Berger, on the other hand, said that he concurred with the appellant's arguments.
He said that 200 square feet was half the size of a garage and that the small lot size made it seem
like a large increase, whieh it was not.
Berger said that the addition of the room would not intensify the use, and that seeking approval
for the room was the "right way to go," rather than trying to "bootleg it in" after the fact.
The Councilmember also said that he had seen the evolution ofhouscs being built with enclosed
crawl spaces rather than exposed "sticks" which were popular in the 70's. He suggested that the
Town follow the City of Belvedere's lead in counting any space under a house over four feet high
as floor area with the caveat that the rule apply to properties on steep slopes.
Overall, Couneilmember Berger said that Corinthian Island was a special area and that the
project "works for this neighborhood."

.
Vice Mayor Fredericks said that shc agreed that the proposed addition would have no visual
impact but she said that it worried her that the room might eventually be changed into a bedroom.
Ms. Fredericks said that a parking problem did exist on Corinthian Island. She said that a second
crawl space.existed under the housc which might bc converted, as well, and that the existing
variances had already created a lovcly house.
Councilmember Gram' sided with Councilmember Berger's assessment of the uniqueness of the
area and said that he would not approve such an application anywhere else in Tiburon.
Councilmember Gram agreed with the Vice Mayor that the room would eventually be converted
into a bedroom, but he said the neighborhood would not be affected visually and that the
residents had learned to live with the parking constraints and other issues.
Councilmember Thompson said that he had never denied an application for a crawl space
conversion in almost 12 years on the Council. He said that it was better to be building it to Code
cven though the room would almost certainly evolve into a bedroom in future. He said he did not
think the parking issue was valid in this instance.
Mayor Slavitz said he sympathized with the appellant's argwnents but stated that if the [original]
. application had come before the Board today, a smaller house floor area would have been
approved to avoid the crawl space conversion issue. He said that he would vote to deny the
appcal for the sake of consistency.

] 6. Recommendation by Town Manager - Animal Services Ordinance
introduction and First Reading o.fOrdinance
a) An Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
Repealing Chapter 20 (Animals and Fowl) of the Tiburon
Town Code and Adopting a New Chapter 20 (Animals) of
thc Tiburon Town Code
Analyst Stott introduced the item and turned it over to Director of Community Development
Anderson for further comment.
Director Anderson said that there were a number of policy issues to be reviewed.by Council in
adopting the provisions of the revised County ordinance, the first being the question of whether
Town Council Minutes it 21-2()()]
November 19, 2003
Page ()
lea~h laws should be enforced in certain public areas.
.
Anderson said that the Town's current ordinance identified specific areas where dogs were
required to be on leash, such as the entire lenh>th of the Richardson Bay Lineal Park Multi-Use
Path. He said that the County's ordinance required only "voice control" in public areas. He
proposed incorporating the Town's current leash regulations into the new ordinance, with the
addition of Zelinsky Park and the Railroad Marsh as areas requiring leashes for dogs.
On the other hand, Anderson said that the Town's leash regulations pertaining to open space
areas required "voice control" rather than leashes. He said that nothing would be h'featly gained
by adopting the County's regulations which allow dogs to be off-leash in open space areas only
on fire roads. He said that the Tiburon police received few complaints regardings dogs off leash
in the open space areas and he recommended that the Town's regulations remain unchanged for
open space areas.
The second policy question in adopting the new ordinance pertained to definitions of large
animals and barnyard animals. In particular, Anderson said that the Town's ordinances,
including the Zoning Ordinance, should be updated to address such agricultural uses as bee-
keeping and poultry. He said that the current Town ordinance did not regulate these uses and he
recommended that residents be required to obtain a permit in future for such uses.
Mayor Slavitz opened the item for Council discussion.
Councilmember Berger and Vice Mayor Fredericks both raised issues concerning dogs off-leash .
in the Old St. Hilary's open space area and the chasing of deer. Couneilmember Berger said that
in his experience the effectiveness of "voice command" was non-existent.
Director Anderson said that the prohibition against chasing deer was already included in the
ordinance and that violators were subject to citation. However, he said that the open space area
in question was not subject to further leash law regulation by the Town.
Councilmember Berger commented that he would like to extend the leash laws into some of the
. open space areas but agreed that they were not under the Town's jurisdiction.
Vice Mayor Fredericks asked for a more clear definition of the area requiring leashes in South
Knoll Park.
Mayor Slavitz opened the public hearing.
Deirdre MeCrohan, Ark Newspaper, asked if the new ordinance would require residents to obtain
a use permit in order to keep chickens. Director Anderson replied that any such new uses would
req uire a penn i 1.
Mayor Slavitz closed the public hearing.

AYES: Unanimous
Item No.1 0 - Recommendation by Town Manager -Interpretation of Management and Mid-
Management Compensation Resolutions
Town Manager Mclntyre said that the mechanism that would allow Town Staff to receive the pay
raises and adjustments approved by the.Couneil in June 2003 on January 1, 2004 was the subject
of some interpretation.
Mcintyre said that the language contained in the budget resolutions stated that if the Town had
"knowledge" of receipt of certain revenues as of December 1, 2003, it would implement these
adjustments. He said that both he and the Town Attorney agreed that the language should be
interpreted based on the fact of there was an adopted State budget as of December 1, 2003. He
said that even though Governor Sehwarzenegger had repealed the Vehicle License Fee, he had
promised to "back fill" the amount that would come to the cities.
Mcintyre noted, however, that the Town had never "counted on" the VLF as a revenue stream in
the current year's budget, and he asked that Council affirm the interpretation of the resolutions.
as described above. He said that the net increase to the Town's budget was approximately
$10,000.
Couneilmember Gram said that he disagreed with the Town Manager's interpretation. He said
that no one could say for sure thatthe VLF would be backfilled. However, he said that the Town
was in good shape financially, with a sound budget, and that the Council should approve the
raises for Staff.
Couneilmember Berger agreed that it was difficult to know what would happen in the future but
that the $ I 0,000 increase was an appropriate expenditure for the people who are responsible for
the financial management and operations of the Town.
Couneilmember Thompson concurred, noting that the Council had planned to exclude the VLF
all along and that the Town was prudent to have 25% of its revenues in reserve.
Mayor Fredericks a!,'Teed with all of the above comments. She said that using the possibility of a
VLF back-fill was not a good rationale for proceeding with the recommended action but that the
other reasons were. She also said that the Town would know the amount of property tax
revenues it would receive within the next two weeks.
MOTION:
To uphold the Management /Mid-Management Compensation resolutions, as
adopted (Consent Calendar Item No 10).

Director of Community Development Anderson said that the Council had held a public hearing
and passed first reading of the ordinance on November ]9. He said that the change requested by
Council at that meeting had been incoIllorated into the new ordinance. This included a revised
description of the area where dogs arc to bc lcashed in the South Knoll Park (Section 20-2.175).
Mayor Slavitz opened the public hearing.
.
Councilmember Berger posed the question of whether a prohibition against feeding pigeons and
seagulls should be added to the ordinance.

Financial Analyst Stott addressed the issue offees associated with implementation of the
ordinance. He said that an updated fec schedule had been recommended by the Marin Humane

Town Attorney Danforth said that all ofthe parties had now filed their responses to MERA's
appeal in the First District Court of Appeals and that a hearing would likely take place in March
2004. She also said that MERA was recruiting new legal counsel.
Mary Ellen Wetlesen, ] 01 Mt. Tiburon Road, asked for a description of the legal basis ofthe
Town's reply brief.
Ms. Danforth said that in summary, the Town had continued to maintain its position that it had
the sole authority to issue land use permits and that specifically, MERA had failed to exercise its
right of appeal by not challenging the "stop work" order issued by the Town for construction
[initiated by MERA] at the Mt. Tiburon site.
Mayor Slavitz thanked Ms. Danforth and acknowledged her for her hard work and competency in
this matter on behalf of the Town.
Councilmember Gram asked the Town Manager and Town Attorney to continue to press MERA
for an amount that it had spent litigating the matter to date. '

Town Manager Mclntyre said that Mayor Slavitz had scnt a lettcr to the Govcrnor asking that thc
amount of the repealed VLF owed to the cities be "backfilled" by the State.,
Mayor Fredericks said that she had attended a meeting where Asscmblyman Joe Nation had
askcd the question of where the State would get the moncy to do this. The Mayor said that she
had suggested that it was "not the cities' problem," but rather a problem of other sources.

Tiburon Peninsula Club to downtown; 4) that local kids would all bc walking or biking to school;

Looking ahead to the New Year, I have reviewed the list of current and pending
vacancies on Town Boards, Commission and Committees.
As you know, there are currently two vacancies on the Town's Planning Commission
due to the resignation of Steve Stein and the eleclion of Paul Smith to the Town Council. Five
(5) applications have been received from interested parties (four of which are current
commissioners and one is a previous applicant).
.
In addition, an interesting phenomenon has occurred that may help streamline this entire
appointment process in the New Year. Let me explain.
At the first regular meeting of the calendar year, the Mayor is required to publicly
announce the upcoming vacancies on Town boards and commissions in the coming year. The
notice is then published and posted in all the usual places and a deadline for receipt of
applications is set. The Town Clerk schedules interviews for the Council of any and all
interested applicants who apply within that time period. The incumbent commissioners are also
contacled by the Clerk and are given an opportunity to respond in writing to indicate to the Town
Council their interest in seeking reappointment.
However, if any commissioner has served less than two years. the Council can waive all
the noticing and interview requirements and reappoint these commissioners if they so choose
(Town Council Resolution No. 3263).
Of the eight (8) expiring terms in 2004, only three (3) are subject to the Town's noticing
and interview requirements. They are: Parks & Open Space Commissioner Margot Zender,
and the two Tiburon representatives to the Library Agency Board of Directors (Lynn Barr and
Victoria Fong). Therefore, the Council technically need schedule interviews for only these two
positions in the coming year.
Of course, this "streamlining" process will be precluded if there are any other vacancies
created by, for instance, the appointment of current commissioners to other boards or
commissions. Then, the noticing process must start all over again!
