PUBLIC HEARING
6, Recommendation by Town Attorney - Proposed Ban of Personal Watercraft in Town
Waters
Second Reading and Adoption o(Ordinance
a) An Ordinance ofthc Town Council ofthe Town of Tiburon '
Adding Chaptcr 33 to the Town Code Pertaining to the
Regulation of Motorized Personal Watcrcraft within all
Shorclinc Waters and Estuaries of the Town of Tiburon
Town Attorncy Danforth said that thc ordinance had heen amcnded since the prcvious hearing to
includc the expanded dcfinition of personal watercraft regardless of whether they seated one or
more persons,
.
Councilmcmher Gram askcd for clarification on the resolution of the lawsuit filed against the
County of Marin aftcr adoption of its ordinance, The Town Attorney said that while the "facial
challenge" to the law was rejected by the Court of Appeal, the County had yet to face an "as
applied" challenge,
In responsc to a question from Councilmcmhcr Smith, Dant()rth said that cven though thc Town
would look to thc County for cnforccment of its ordinance because it did not have the resourccs
to do so, it would still he suhject to litigation, if adopted,
Vicc Mayor Berger said that hc had announccd at thc North Bay Lcaguc ofCalit()rnia Cities
meeting that Tiburon would be "taking the lead" in adopting a local ordinance banning personal
watercraft which he said met with a positive response,
Mayor Fredericks opcned the public hearing.
Petcr Kilkus, member of the San Anselmo Town Council and self-described "jet ski fan." read
from a Icttcr hc suhmitted into the record which statcd the rcasons for his opposition to the han,
Town COll!U;i! Alinules # 03-2()()4
FchruwT 4. 2(J()4

"
e

.
Mr. Kilkus said the primary rcasons wcrc bascd on a Jack of accurate scientific data and the
principlc offairncss, He said that jet skis were being unfairly blamed for a disproportionatc
amount of water pollution; that thcy did not pollute morc than other vessels, and were as quiet or
quietcr than motorboats, He also said that jet skis were not inherently unsafe, as claimed by
proponcnts of the ban,
Mr. Kilkus statcd that somc National Park and Recreation Areas which had previously banncd,
personal watercraft now had decisions under revicw to'let thcm back in.
Mr. Kilkus asked that the Council consider instituting a "buffer zone" rather than a total ban of
, jet skis in Tiburon waters, and to form a subcommittee to further study the issue, He said that the
lawsuit against the County was legally, but not practically, rcsolvcd and that some of the findings
stated in the County's ordinance were ':just plain silly," He encouraged the Council to write a
"better" ordinance.
Councilmembcr Slavitz rCffiarkcd on the difficulty of enforcement if the Town were to adopt a
partial rather than total ban, which differed from the County's ordinance,
In his reply, Mr, Kilkus said that the Sheriffs department knew the value of personal watcrcraft
[to law enforcement], and that at any nite, people acting irresponsibly could be dealt with,
In fact, he said that the harassment of wildlife by operators of jet skis would be a violation of thc
Marine Mammal Act, legislation already in existence, According to Mr. Kilkus, all that would
be required for enforcement of violations would be to put out buoys to keep jct skis out of certain
areas, and write down the vehicle license number and confiscate the vessel of the violators,
Carl Schneebeck, representing the Blucwater Network, told thc Council that people all across the
Country supported thc ban of personal watercraft,
Mr. Schneebeck said that ofthc 80 National Parks with waterways, only three allowed the
operation ofjct skis, Howcvcr, he said that 10 of the parks did have dccisions pcnding on
whether or not to allow jet skis back in. He said that thcse decisions were based on "political"
rather than scicntific rcasons,
He quoted from the dratl Environmental Impact Rcport with rcgard to this review on Lake Mead,
which stated that jet ski uscrs in that arca avcraged 5,2 hours of operation per day and discharged
large amounts of unused fucls pcr day into the water.
Mr. Schnecbcck said that the work of his organization (Bluewater Network) had hclped get
"clcaner machines" on the market, but that the inboard versus carborated engine debate did not
address the issue of disruption of shorclinc wildlife habitat, and that even small amounts of
pollutants were shown to bc disruptive to the immune and reproductive systcms of invertebrates
and marine mammals,
Town Council Minutes tI 03-2()(J4
FehnlaJ:V 4. 2()()4
Page 5
,
Mr. Schnecbcck said that a previous reference to the "vagueness" of the County's ordinance had
to do with the patchwork jurisdictional boundaries in Marin County rathcr than thc vagueness of
the law itsclf. With rcgard to enforccmcnt, hc said that placing si!,'Ilagc at takeout areas would be
helpful.
.
Finally, he told the Council that the "silent majority" in this matter were the passive recreational
users ofthe shorelinc arcas and he encouraged the Council to listen to thcir constitucnts who had
spokcn in favor of adoption of the ban,
Sean Smith, Bluewatcr Nctwork, addressed a question rrom Councilmember Gram about noise
lcvcls of two-stroke versus fClUr-stroke models. He said that while the newer models werc
quieter, the kind of noise created by [both kinds of] jet skis that peoplc found so annoying was
the constant and repetitivc changc of pitch,
Mr. Smith said that the environment ofTiburon was more similar to the Gulf of the Farallones
rathcr than Lake Powell or Lake Mead, He said that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration had rcjected all arguments in favor of jet skis in the Gulf, stating that "a total
prohibition would be necessary to adequately protect Sanctuary resources,"
Smith said that the National Park Service study on Lake Mead stated that 27,000 gallons offuel
rrom the operation of jet skis was dumped into thc watcr on a typical wcckcnd, and he also
quoted rrom a San Diego County Grand Jury Report which estimated the amounts dumped into
Mission Bay on a typical weekend,
e
In conclusion, Mr. Smith said that the benefits of the machines [jet skis] were minimal
compared to the adverse impacts they had on thc cnvironment.
Vice Mayor Berger further explored the difference between the communitics in the lake arcas
(Mcad and Powcll) and Tiburon, Mr. Smith pointcd out that most pcoplc had an cxpectation of
somc sort ofrccrcational and seasonal use in those areas while thc people in Tiburon had mOfC of
a "direct interaction with the Bay,"
Mayor Fredericks closcd thc public hcaring,
In response to a question from CouncilmemberGram with regard to the County's total
prohibition of jet skis, Town Attorncy Danforth said that thc Town Council had at an earlier
meeting had discussed thc possibility offuturc amcndmcnts to an ordinancc ifnoisc and
pollution issucs rrom thc operation ofthcse machines wefe adequately addressed,

TO:

Heidi Bigall, Director of Administrative Services ~
Request for Proposal - Independent Auditing Services ~
February 26, 2004 REVIEWED BY:~
FROM:
SUBJECT:
MEETING DATE:
For the past six fiscal years, the Certified Public Accounting firm of Odenburg, Ullakko and
Muranishi has served as the Town's and the Redevelopment Agency's independent auditors,
While the Town has been very pleased with this relationship, it is sound fiscal policy to replace
CPA firms at least every five years. The Town should undertake a full-scale competitive bid
process for the selection of a new independent auditor.
It is further suggested that the Town enter into multiyear agreements up to five years in duration
when obtaining the services of independent auditors, Multiyear agreements allow for greater
continuity and help to minimize the potential for disruption in connection with the independent
audit. This can also help to reduce audit costs by allowing auditors to recover certain "start-up"
costs over several years, rather than over a single year.
Staff has prepared the attached Request for Proposal for independent auditing services for a
minimum of three consecutive years with an option to extend the contract an additional two
years, It is anticipated that the Town Council would award the contract to the successful auditing
firm at their regular meeting of May 19, 2004,
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Town Council review and accept the RFP for auditing services and
direct staff to solicit proposals from certified public accounting firms,

In December 2000, the Town received $10,000 from the estate of Solomon M. Martin to
purchase, install and dedicate a bench along the Tiburon bike path in Mr, Martin's memory,
The Town has a policy against installing memorials in public parks instead allowing donors to
contribute to the Town's Commemorative Book (Exhibit 1), The specific request cannot be
honored to the letter of the request and Bill Tiedje acting as Executor of the estate has
suggested an alternative that achieves the spirit of the request (Exhibit 2), The Landmarks
Society would act as recipient of the gift instead and purchase, install and dedicate a bench in
the Art and Garden Center in honor and memory of Mr. Martin,
The Town Attorney has reviewed this request and in light of the Town's policy on memorials, has
indicated that this transfer would be allowable under the law,
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Town Council authorize the transfer of the $10,000 bequest by the
Estate of Solomon Martin to the Landmarks Society for the installation of a memorial bench in
the Art and Garden Center.

Dear .I eff:
, On December 18,2000 I sent a check to the Town ofTiburon in the amount of$1 0,000,00 as
a distribution from thc Estate of Solomon M, Martin (see enclosed copy of letter), The funds
werc scnt to the Town as a bequest ifom Mr. Martin "for the purchase of a suhstantial bcneh
to be situated along the Tiburon bike path, togcther with a designation as being a Gift of
Sylvia Martin," As Executor of the Estate I was directed to cooperate with the Town's
representatives in the planning and location of this gift,
At that time there was discussion of d~vcloping a path through part ofthe Pine Terrace
property to McKegney Green. I had proposed to Bob Kleinert that the funds he used to
develop that path and that a bench be erected on the path with the bench and path be
designated in memory of Sylvia and Solomon Martin, It appears now that the path may not
be developed, Further, even ifit were it is against Town policy to make a specific dedication,
e
In discussions with Ann Danforth recently wc rcvicwcd thc alternativcs for this bequest in
order to meet the requircmcnts ofMr. Martin's will, Ann suggested I talk to Beverly Bastian
of thc Landmarks Society, Beverly has indicated that they would be very interested in
acccpting this gift and provide a memorial at the Art and Garden Center, Mr, Martin was
well known for his rose gardcn and I feel that a dedicated area and bench in the Art and
Garden Center would meet the requirements of his will.
I request that the funds bcing held by the Town ofTiburon be made available to the
Landmarks Socicty so that the Mr. Martin's intentions can be realized, If you have any
questions you may call me during the day at 435-1 J 22, , '

General Plan Update: Goal. Policy, and Program Refine~
Open Space & Conservation Element Issues Paper '
February 26, 2004 REVIEWED BY:

SUBJECT:
MEETING DATE:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
BACKGROUND
As part of the Goal, Policy, and Program Refinement stage of the General Plan Update process,
the Planning Commission hosted a meeting on January 14, 2004 to discuss the goal, policy,
and program suggestions contained in the Open Space & Conservation Element Issues Paper,
At the meeting, the Planning Commission took comments from the public and also provided
feedback to Staff,
TOWN COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING
With the Planning Commission public hearing complete, the Open Space & Conservation
Element Issues Paper now comes before the Town Council for its consideration and comment.
The Town Council, as the Town's policy-making body, is charged with making the final
recommendation to Staff about the appropriateness of the suggested goals, policies, and
programs contained in the Issues Paper,
In essence, the Town Council is being asked to answer two questions:
1, Do the goal, policy, and program recommendations (summarized in Appendix A of the
Issues Paper) accurately represent the goals and vision of the community? If not, what
modifications need to be made to make them accurately represent those goals and
vision?
2, Are there issues and ideas which are missing from the recommendations presented in
this paper?
This is the time in the General Plan Update process to give direction for substantial changes to
the recommendations presented in the Issues Paper, Following this review, Staff will begin
preparation of the Open Space & Conservation (OSC) Element that will be part of the Draft
General Plan 2020,
Additionally, the Town Council is asked to resolve policy issues which were raised at the
Planning Commission meeting by commissioners and the public,
ISSUES DISCUSSED AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING
Several owners of property that has been designated as "Potential Open Space" in the OSC
Element spoke at the meeting against the Town "taking" their property,' Staff believes that some
Town of Tiburon
STAFF REPORT
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
of this testimony resulted from confusion about the meaning of the "Potential Open Space"
designation, and has subsequently sent the owners a letter clarifying the relationship between
the OSC Element and the Land Use Element, and emphasizing that the owners will still have
development rights on their property (see Attachment 5), '
In addition, policy issues were raised about the Town's policies relating to the "Potential Open
Space" designation, ridgelines, slopes, views and visias, open space management, and "green
building,"
Potential Open Space
Desionation
Consistent with the current General Plan, Staff has recommended that lands that are four acres
or greater and are currently vacant or,able to subdivided be designated in the OSC Element as
Potential Open Space, In addition, Staff has,recommended that the General Plan clearly state
that the Potential Open Space Diagram identifies those properties on which there are
opportunities to increase the Town's permanent open space and that Prime Open Space
policies apply principally to Potential Open Space.
As mentioned above, several owners of property designated Potential Open Space objected to
the designation, Since the Planning Commission meeting, it has been suggested to Staff that .
the lands be identified as something other than "Potential Open Space" to reduce confusion,
Discussion: All but one of the properties designated Potential Open Space in the OSC Element
Issues Paper has been recommended for designation as Planned Development - Residential
(PD-R) in the Land Use Element Issues Paper, In the review of the Land Use Element, Staff
was directed to include language in the Land Use Element which makes it clear that achieving
the maximum densities would likely be limited by physical, environmental and pOlicy constraints,
as described in the Open Space Element and other elements of the General Plan,
Staff believes that by referring to these properties as PD-R in both the OSC Element and the
Land Use Element, both the suggestion to call the properties something other than "Potential
Open Space" and the direction to make the relationship between the policies of both Elements
clear could be accomplished, This change would make the General Plan a more clear and
consistent document, and allow the use of language which explicitly connects the physical,
environmental, and policy constraints of the properties designated PD-R to the prime open
space protection policies of the OSC Element. An example of this explicit language would be:
"The maximum allowable density defined for properties designated Planned Development -
Residentiai may be considered only if the applicant successfully demonstrates consistency with
the Prime Open Space policies of the Open Space & Conservation Element."
Town Council Issue: Should the lands shown as Potential Open Space in the Issues Paper be
referred to as Planned Development ~ Residential in the OSC Element?
Staff Recommendation: For the reasons stated in the discussion above, Staff is recommending
that the "Potential Open Space" properties be identified instead as Planned Development -

Residential in the OSC Element to match the Land Use Element and to provide greater Clarity
and consistency throughout the General Plan,
Aoolication of Prime Ooen Soace Policies
The Planning Commission recommended that consideration be given to expanding the
applicability of the Prime Open Space polices beyond the properties designated Planned
Development - Residential ("Potential Open Space" in the OSC Element Issues Paper), to any
property which could be redeveloped and subdivided.
All policies of the OSC Element are intended to apply to land use decisions to the extent that
they are relevant. In the text of the Issues Paper, Staff recommended that the Prime Open
Space policies "are intended to apply orincioallv to properties designated Planned Development
- Residential." (emphasis added) The General Plan should make no distinction,
Town Council Issue: None
.
Ridgeline Policy
Staff has recommended a number of policies for protecting the ridgelines which are based on
current General Plan policy and Resolution 2859, which affirmed the Town Council's
commitment to make protection of ridge lines the highest priority, Also included in Staffs
recommendations are the mapping of Tiburon Ridge, which is mapped in the current General
Plan, and the Significant Ridgelines which were identified in Resolution 2859,
Suggestions which came out of the Planning Commission meeting with respect to ridgeiine
policy were to adopt more restrictive policies to match County of Marin policies and to extend
what is referred to as "Tiburon Ridge" onto the Martha Company property,
Matchina Countv Ridc;Jeline Policies
In the Issues Paper, Staff recommended that the setbacks which protect the Tiburon Ridge be
the same In the updated General Plan as they are in the current General Plan,
The Planning Commission and the Last Chance Committee encouraged the Town to re-
examine its ridgeline poliCies and make them conform with County policies, which call for
greater setbacks from "visually prominent ridgelines,"
Discussion: Marin County's Countywide Plan defines a ridge and upland greenbelt policy area,
which includes the area around the Tiburon Ridge (see Attachment 6), Countywide Plan
policies for the area include the following:
CD-8,12: (in part) The residential base density shall be one dwelling unit per 10
acres, with the provision that when master plans for development are submitted,
rezoning to either' a higher or lower density will be considered, according to the
specific characteristics of the site,
e
EQ-3,18: All development proposed in the ridge and upland greenbelt areas shall
be evaluated for its potential impact on visual resources and amenities,

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
EQ-3,19: On open and grassy hillsides buildings should be clustered well below
the ridge, rather than scattered or grouped at the ridge top, to avoid the
appearance of sprawl and preserve an Important visual resource, Buildings
should be clustered in the least visually prominent portion of the site,
These policies are implemented through the Planned District Development Standards of the
County's Development Code [i.e" Zoning Ordinance], which states that "there shall be no
construction permitted on top or within 300 feet horizontally, or within 1 00 feet vertically of
visually prominent ridgelines, whichever is more restrictive, if other suitable locations are
available on the site, If structures must be placed within this restricted area because of site size
or similar constraints, they shall be on locations that are least visible from nearby highways and
developed areas," (see Attachment 7)
The Town's ridgeline policies, as found in the current General Plan and Resolution 2859, are for
development to be set back 150 horizontal feet and 50 vertical feet from the Tiburon Ridge, and
well below significant ridgelines,'
The Countywide Plan is not nearly as specific as the Town has been in defining ridgelines that
are worthy of protection, Instead of identifying specific ridgelines for protection, the Countywide .
Plan identifies ridge and upland areenbelt areas (see Attachment 6), The County Development
Code only states that the setback policies apply to "visually prominent ridgelines".
The County's ridgeline setback policy applies to all Planned Development zoned property in the
County, Of the County's Planned Development zoned properties, there are many which are
several times larger than the largest private landholding in the Planning Area, which is .
approximately 110 acres, In other parts of the County, this means that even after applying the
County's ridgeline policies, a substantial portion of these properties is able to accommodate
development.
The County's ridgeline policies apply to "visually prominent ridgelines", Because the County
has not identified which ridgelines meet this criterion, it is not clear that the County policies
would apply to any of the Town's identified Significant Ridgelines,
Figures 1 and 2 show the application of the proposed ridgeline setback policies, as well as the
application of the suggested increase in setback polices to 300 horizontal feet and 100 vertical
feet for Tiburon Ridge, Fig"ure 2 demonstrates that the Rabin and Martha Company properties
would be most affected by the increased Tiburon Ridge setbacks, The impact on the Rabin
parcel would be dramatic; the impact on the Martha Company property would be relatively
minor. Other Planned Development - Residential properties would be unaffected by the
change,
, The nature of secondary ridgelines is such that vertical setbacks are not practical. Because secondary
ridgelines, by definition, extend from primary ridgelines, they share the same contour lines or eievation,
This means that the areas that would fall within a vertical setback of one secondary ridgeline would blend
within the vertical setback of the next closest secondary ridgeline, leaving very little land, if any,putside of
the vertical setback areas,

Town of Tiburon
. STAFF REPORT
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Town Council Issue: Should the Town adopt the County's ridgeline setback policy of 300
horizontal feet and 100 vertical feet for Tiburon Ridge?
Staff Recommendation: Given that the impact of the increased setbacks would focus on one
property (Rabin), Staff recommends that the Town Council, through direct visual comparison of
Figures 1 and 2, consider whether the changes are warranted. Staff notes that the ridgeline
policies recommended in the Issues Paper would remove over half of the 30-acre Rabin
property from development and would protect the ridgelines.
Extendina Tiburon Ridae
The Planning Commission and the Last Chance Committee also recommended that what is
defined as "Tiburon Ridge" be extended beyond its current terminus in the Old St. Hilary's Open
Space Preserve (see Figure 3 of the Issues Paper) to the "knoll overlooking Angel Island".
.
During preparation of the General Plan in 1989, it was determined by analyzing topographical
data that the primary ridge which forms the Tiburon Peninsula, the Tiburon Ridge, runs from
approximately Tanfield Road on the western edge to the knoll in the Old SI. Hilary's Open
Space Preserve, as mapped in the current General Plan and in Figure 3 of the Issues Paper.
The Town Council determined that topographically, the Tiburon Ridge devolved into three (3)
less prominent secondary ridgelines as the southeastern end of the peninsula dropped off
toward San Francisco Bay.
While the current Town Council could reach a different conclusion than that reached in 1989,
Staff is unaware of any change to the topography of the Peninsula that would provide a physical
basis for extending what is defined as Tiburon Ridge. A "high oblique" aerial photo showing the
area will be available for viewing at the Town Council meeting.
It should also be noted that the Martha Company property, which has seven secondary
Significant Ridgelines identified on it, would be the only property affected by extending the
Tiburon Ridge. Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate the effect of extending the Tiburon Ridge onto the
Martha Company property under the setback policies recommended by Staff, as well as the
suggested 300 foot horizontal and 100 foot vertical setback policy suggested above. If the
Town Council has indicated (earlier in the meeting) that the setbacks recommended in the
Issues Paper are appropriate, then a direct visual comparison of Figures 1 and 3 for the Martha
Property would reveal the additional area subject to ridgeline setbacks, which is focused around
extensions of Ridge Road and MI. View Drive. If the Town Council has opted for increased
setbacks, then a visual comparison of Figures 2 and 4 would be appropriate.
Town Council Issue: Should what is identified as the Tiburon Ridge be extended?
Staff Recommendation: The Town Council should view the aerial photo to determine if a
topographical basis exists for extending the Tiburon Ridge.

developable, which would consequently place additional development pressure on other prime
open space assets.
Town Council Issue: Should the Town adopt a more restrictive slope policy?
Staff Recommendation: Staff believes that because little of the undeveloped land in Tiburon has
slopes of less than 25% and adoption of a stricter slope policy could lead to additional
development pressure on higher priority prime open space characteristics, most notably
ridgelines, that the slope policy remain as recommended.
However, if the Town Council would like to pursue a more restrictive slope policy, Staff would
recommend that it be to discourage development on slopes exceeding 35%, not 25% for the
reasons stated in the discussion above.
Views and Vistas
Staff has recommended that the program to "develop and adopt guidelines defining vistas and
view corridors of significance" be deleted because Staff believes the process is best undertaken
during the development review process. The Planning Commission recommended that the
program not be abandoned.
Discussion: Implementation of a program to define vistas and view corridors of significance
would require an enormous investment of Staff or consultant time. This is because there is no
substitute to visiting sites and cataloguing the views and vistas which exist on each property.
Because the properties are privately held, this would also involve intentional trespass, unless all
property owners were to give permission for such a project.
Town Council Issue: Should the Town keep the program to define vistas and view corridors of
significance in the General Plan?
Staff Recommendation: Due to the resources required to implement this program, Staff
recommends that the program be removed from the General Plan, and that all view issues be
addressed during specific project review.
Open Space Management
The Planning Commission noted that management of open space is currently done in an "ad-
hoc" manner. The Commission recommended that the General Plan include an implementing
program to establish an open space management plan, including funding sources and a budget
item.
Town Council Issue: Should the Town adopt a program to establish an open space
management plan for Town-owned open spaces?
Staff Recommendation: Staff believes that outlining an open space management plan and
identifying funding sources would be an appropriate implementing program in the General Plan.

"Green Buitding"
The Planning Commission was supportive of new policies relating to "green building" in public
projects. The Commission recommended that the policies be extended to private projects, by
adopting policies which encourage "green building" principles and techniques as well as
highlighting the benefits of "green building".
Town Councif/ssue: Should the Town expand the "green building" policies to include private
projects? ' ,
Staff Recommendation: Staff supports the Planning Commission's recommendation to expand
"green building" policies to include private projects.
RECOMMENDA nON
Staff recommends that the Town Council take any public comment about the goal, policy, and
program recommendations contained in the Open Space & Conservation Element Issues
Paper; provide direction on the outstanding issues identified in this report and other issues of
interest to the Council; and direct Staff to proceed with the drafting of the Open Space &

OPEN SPACE & CONSERVATION ELEMENT ISSUES PAPER - December 2003
From: Richard B. Collins
The comments below have been with the benefit of' having heard the public discussion on the Issues Paper at the
Town's public meeting held on January ]4. 2003, and, after having read Randy Greenberg's comments. Therefore,
to the extent that Randy has already addressed a number of the same issues upon which I might have commented. no
comments have made on those issues to avoid redundancy.
Land Use Elements Issues
It was evident during 'last Wednesday nights meeting that there was confusion in the minds of several of the
resident... who spoke concerning the interrelation or cross~over between the Land Use Element Issues, Opcn Space
and Conservation Issues and land related to parks and recreation. It appears to me that the foregoing three (3)
elements should be cross-referenced to each other in the General Plan where appropriate so that everyone can
follow the bouncing ball, and for situations where the same goal, policy or program is relevant to marc than one
element. By cross-referencing, it would also avoid duplication and make the document less cumbersome. I do
however believe that some sections should be duplicated where also appropriate.
Cross-referencing would thereby direct readers to the relevant section in one of the other relevant sections.

you consider adding the words "development of' after the word "how"
3. P.]2, C. I. Clarification of Potential Open Space Designation. This was the hot topic of the meeting not only
as to the designation itself, but also as to the lack of apparent understanding.ofthe public as to what an "open space
designation" really means to those that own the land which has or' is proposed to be so designated, which J believe I
commented about at the meeting. It is extremely important that that we have an informed public and that the very
sensitive topic of Potential Open Space ("POS") be not only identified by diagram as well as by specific designation
to make it explicitly identifiable for everyone, and in particular to the owners who's land is included within that
designation. I also believe that a full and complete definition and narrative description of all of the characteristics
of the POS should be included and explained in detail, not only the limitations that such a designation might carry,
but also in terms of the attributes that carry with them potential entitlements that will enable the owners to

follows: "The Town .shall enCOllrdgc the peffilanenl protection of lands as open space hy its acceptance of fee title

II. P.A-2. OSC-6 lOSC-15]. The use of the word "value" is ambiguous to me. Consider using the words "to
maximize the preservation of open space to the greatest extent feasible", I also suggest that the tcnn "estate lot"
should be followed with a short parenthetically definition.
12. P.A-2. OSC-9. Consider deleting the words '"the consideration .to protect" and substituting the wordl'
'"'protection of the". As a matter of inquiry. does the' Town. as a matter of policy, require that grantors provide the
Town with title'insurance naming the To\V1l as beneficiary for all trail and other easements granted to the Town. and
does the Town also require subordination ab'Teements from lenders who are senior in time to the brranting or such
ea.l;ements to preclude having them wiped out in the event of foreclosure?

Re: Comments on ODen SDace & Conservation Element Issue.~ PaDer
Dear Mr. Bryant:
The Last Chance Committee ("Committee") welcomes this opportunity to provide
comments on the December 2003 Open Space & Conservation Element Issues Paper ("OSC
Issues Paper"), which is part of the Town ofTiburon ("Town") General Plan Update. The OSC
Issues Paper is a very useful and significant starting point for the Town's review and refinement of
the goals, policies and programs of the Open Space & Conservation Element ("OSC Element").
We look forward to providmg further input as this process continues toward the eventual
adoption ofa new OSC Element. In the meantime, however, we note that most of the proposed
changes recorrunended in the OSC Issues Paper are essentially designed to clarifY that the Town's
current OSC Element already requires prime open space to be protected to the maximum extent
feasible. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that the changes suggested in the OSC Issues
Paper should be applied inunediately to all proposed development projects, rather than waiting
until completion of the General Plan Update.
The Committee's comments, which focus primarily on those policies and goals that
address open space, rather than conservation, issues, refer to the goal letters and the policy
numbers used in Appendix A to the OSC Issues Paper. In addition, all citations to page numbers
refer to the pages of the OSC Issues Paper.
At the outset, the Committee would like to offer a few general comments. First,
the Committee commends the Town's Community Development Department on its proposed
recommendations for revisions to the OSC Element. These recommendations reflect the
community's commitment to preserving the Town's vital open space character (as demonstrated
during the debate on Measure I and in the responses to the General Plan Update Survey) and they
remedy many of the existing General Plan's inadequacies in regard to protecting open space from
development. However, in order to ensure that future development is consistent with, and
realizes the objectives of, the OSC Element's policies, the Town must establish procedures that
will govern its review of applications. In so doing, the owners of parcels that include prime open
space will be on notice as to the process that the Town will apply in considering an application for
development of their land.
1114/2004
Second, we agree with Town staff that the OSC Element needs to explain the
concepts of potential open spacc and primc open space in an introductory section. The
introductory language proposed in the OSC Issues Paper provides a good initial start. We
recommend that the OSC Element should be further revised to more fully explain that the OSC
Element has long required the Town to protect prime open space to the maximum extent feasible.
We also believe that the revised OSC Element should more clearly identifY the process that the
Town will use to identify and protect prime open space. For instance, it should clearly explain
that when an application is submitted to the Town for development of more than a single home on
land designated as potential open space, the Town will initially consider the affected parcel a<;
potential open space. Through the development review process, the Town will then analyze the
quality of that undeveloped parcel to determine which areas have the highest value as open space
(i.e., to identifY the "prime open space") and will then require that such prime open space be
protected to the maximum extent feasible.
Third, the OSC Issues Paper properly recognizes the need to review the Land Use
element of the General Plan in concert with the update to thc OSC Element. In this regard, we
believe it is imperative to revisit the range of land use densities that the General Plan specifies as
potentially applicable to potential open space lands. The General Plan has long stated that the
specified densities do not represent an entitlement and that environmental constraints may
significantly reduce the density of development actually allowed on such lands. Despite this
clariiYing language, some developers have nonetheless continued to propose projects towards the
upper end of those density ranges even where obvious environmental constraints would preclude
such projects from ever being approved. Because most, if not all, remaining potential open 'space
land with development potential is highly constrained due to environmental impacts, and because
developers often seek to portray density maximums as entitlements, it is appropriate to review
assigned densities and assess if they should be revised. If the Town determines that it is not
feasible to reduce thc range of densities currently specified in the General Plan, then we believe
that the General Plan should more strongly state that the severe environmental constraints will
typically prevent the Town from approving projects in these areas at the upper end ofthe density
range.
OPEN SPACE & CONSERVATION GOALS
The Committee proposes that OSC Goals B, C, and D be revised to read as
follows:
OSC-B:
To permanently preserve as much open space a'i possible.
OSC-C:
To protect, to the maximum extent feasible, tbe unique open space character ofthe
Town, which is attributable to its large amounts of undeveloped land and open
water.
OSC-D:
To protect as conservation areas, to the maximum extent feasible, all lands and
other areas in the public trust.
1114/2004

PRIME OPEN SPACE
The Committee endorses the recommendation that the new General Plan include a
discussion about prime open space and its importance to the Town, as well as to add policy
language regarding each prime open space attribute and characteristic. However, the Committee
is concerned that the Plan's existing language, which states that "landowners are encouraged to
design their projects to maximize protection of open space areas" (emphasis added) that contain
the characteristics and attributes set forth in the General Plan, is too weak and will not achieve the
Plan's desired objectives. The OSC Element must provide unambiguously that the Town will
protect in perpetuity, to the'maximum ex1ent feasible, land with the characteristics and attributes
of prime open space.
Current Prime Open Space Policies
The Committee recommends the following revisions to the current open space
policies set forth on pages 14 and 15 ofthe OSC Issues Paper:
OSC-l:
The Town shall strive to permanently preserve, through sethacks, dedication,
purchase or easement, exceptional structures, sites, open space, and sensitive
environmental resources. The Town shall encourage the permanent protection of
open space through: conveyance offee title to an appropriate government agency
or land trust; easement; deed restriction; or other appropriate mechanism
acceptable to the Town.
OSC-4:
Publicly- or privately-owned open space shall be permanently protected as open
space. It is the Town's policy that publicly-owned open space parcels will not be
traded or sold. In the highly unlikely event that any publicly-owned open space
parcel is traded or sold, the Town shall, as promptly as feasible, acquire land of
equivalent open space value.
Current Prime Open Space Implementing Programs
OSC-a seems to do no more than state the legal requirement for project
consistency with the Town's General Plan. Although the proposed revision would apply to
applications to develop parcels ofless than four acres, the program does not refer specifically to
the goal of preserving prime open space and, thus, its effect remains limited. This program should
be revised to expressly reference the General Plan goals of preserving prime open space to the
maximum extent feasible.
OSC-b appears to apply to all development applications submitted to the County.
Although the objective of requiring Town review of a wider range of projects than is provided for
in the current OSC Element is important and necessary, the Town may wish to provide some
limiting language that achieves the objective, while not requiring Town staff to screen all
development applications submitted to the County, most of which will have no impact on the
1/1412004
3
Town. For instance, the Town could restore the language "for development in the Town's
Planning Area outside of the Town boundaries."
Proposed Refinement of Prime Open Space Policies
The proposal to revise existing OSC-t5 by creating three separate policies, OSC-
5,6 and 7, is a significant improvement. The Committee strongly supports the Town's
recommendation to increase the amount of Potential Open Space on large undeveloped parcels
that will be permanently preserved as open space from 50% to 75% (OSC-5, at page 16).
The Committee recommends the following revisions to OSC 6 and 7, set forth at
page 17 ofthe OSC Issues Paper:
OSC-6: Recommend deleting the words "with respect to this General Plan" from second
sentence and revising third sentence to read: "Development of open space within common arcas
. or individual lots shall be prohibited by means of easement, deed restriction, or otber appropriate
mechanism acceptable to the Town."
OSC-7:
Recommend deleting the words "in a substantive manner" from this policy.
The OSC Issues Paper, on page 17, expresses concern that agreements with
private land owners do not provide permanent open space protection and "may be lost or
forgotten by either future land owners or the Town." The Issues Paper goes on to note (page 18)
that the Land Use Element Issues Paper recommended that the Town, on its Land Use Diagram,
designate as Open Space the portions of parcels that are subject to open space easements. The
Committee supports this latter recommendation, while also noting that the Town could require
that private land owners, while retaining fee title over their property, grant to a land trust or land
conservancy a permanent conservation easement over that portion ofthe property to be preservcd
in perpetuity as open space. The easement will be recorded with the County, which will reduce
any concern that it will not be lost or forgotten. The conservation easement will appear on any
title search of the property, which should be a required submission by the property owner as part
of any development application to the Town or County. Requiring that the Town or the Marin
County Open Space District be named as a third party beneficiary, with authority to enforce the
conservation easement, would provide additional protection for the open space. These concerns
could be addressed by making corresponding cbanges to OSC-6.
The Committee recommends the follmlving revisions to the proposed open space
policies set forth on page19 ofthe OSC Issues Paper:
OSC-2:
In considering whether open space land shall be dedicated to the Town or other
public entity, the benefits to the community of public ownership shall be weighed
against the costs of owning the land.
"
OSC-3:
The Town shall strivc to secure, through trail easements that connect to other
public trails or through other appropriate mechanislTL~, public access to those
1/14/2004
4
portions of open space land which are most usable and have the highest value to
the community.
In regard to OSC-2, the Committee recommends that the Town include in the
OSC Element a policy regarding the provision of funding for the long-term management ofland
to be permanently protected as open space. The policy might include reference to such funding
mechanisms as Landscape and Lighting Districts or Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts, where
appropriate. In other cases, it may be appropriate for the Town to require a developer to create
. an endowment for such long-term management of open space.
The Committee further recommends that the OSC Element include a new policy
that ensures that in those situations where the Town must allow some development on land that
possesses the characteristics and attributes of prime open space in order to avoid an
unconstitutional taking, lands possessing the highest open space value will not be developed.
Slope Policy
'..,.:
OSC-7
Slope policy. Recommend reconsidering changes to our 40% slope policy. The
city of Nova to, now (as oflast night) restricts Residential development from lands
with average slope greater than 25% (Novato ordinance div. 19.26). We believe
Tiburon should do the same.
Ridgeline Policies
The Committee recommends the following revisions to the proposed open space
ridgeline policies set forth on pages 20 and 21 of the OSC Issues Paper:
Consider redefining the "Tiburon Ridge" so that it includes the primary ridgeline ending at the
"knoll" overlooking Angel Island.
OSC-9:
Recommend replacing the words "consideration to protect" with "protection of."
OSC-IO:
Recommend replacing the word "from" with the words "of either side of."
OSC-12:
Recommend replacing the word "from" with the words "of either side of."
OSC-21:
Revise to read.. .."from either side of the top of each of the banks"
Corresponding changes should also be made to the Precise Development Plan
Submittal Requirements in the Zoning Ordinance. For instance, S 4.08.02(4)(A)(1)(i) should be
amended to replace the words "top of bank" with "top of each bank."
In addition, the Committee suggests that the following ridgeline policy be included
in the OSC element:
1114/2004
5
Development of structures and improved yard area, including landscaping, shall be
set back a minimum ono vertical feet from Significant Ridgelines, measured from
the highest point ofthe roofline of a structure. Ifthis policy prevents all
reasonable use of the property, encroachment into the setback may be allowed
provided that the structures are limited to a maximum of one story or 15 feet in
height, as defined hy the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance, and provided that both
horizontal and vertical encroachment are minirriized.
Policies Applicable to Water and Shoreline Areas
The Committee recommends that the OSC Element include conditions on the
replacement of existing structures built over water (OSC-14 at page 24) so that the replacement
structure does not replicate any adverse impacts, such as visual irripacts, of the existing structure
that is being replaced.
Wetland Policies
The Committee recommends that OSC-19 (page 27) be revised both to define
what is meant by "potential wetland areas" and as follows:
Buffer zones of at least I 00 feet shall be provided, to the maximum extent feasible,
between development and identified or potential wetland areas.
Wildlife and Habitat Policies
The Committee recommends that OSC-25 (page 30) bercviscd as follows:
The Town shall ensure, to the maximum extent feasible, that development does not
substantially affect special status species, or special communities known to occur
within the Town or the Tiburon Planning Arca.
View Policies
The Committee recommends that OSC-28 (page 30) be revised to insert the word
"maximum" before the words "extent feasible."
We also recommend adding: Preserve views to the maximum extent feasible from public open
space in the Tiburon planning area.
In addition, the Committee notes that Appendix C to the OSC Issues Paper
reviews excerpts from the Marin Countywide Plan to dcterminc thcir appropriateness for inclusion
in the Town's General Plan. However, the Appendix does not mention the Marin Countywide
Plan ridgeline setback policy, (planning development district standards 2216.030f2) which
provides that the development of new structures shall be prohibited within 100 vertical feet and
1114/2004
(,
300 horizontal feet of visually prominent ridgelines. We urge the Town to reconsider whether
this policy-which is more stringent than the Town's-should be included in the Town's General
Plan.
The Committee appreciates the Town's consideration of its comments on the OSC
Element and looks forward to working with the Town on this important project.
Very truly yours,

Dear Scott;
My office has been retained to represent the Martha Company, owners of approximately 110
acres of property located in the unincorporated County of Marin and adjacent to the Town of
Tiburon municipal boundary. My client is concerned about the mapping and recommended
policies contained in the "Open Space and Conservation Easement Issues Paper" prepared by the
Community Development Department staff in December 2003. Accordingly, we have the
following general and specific comments.
General Comments
Although the report is well written and contains several excellent maps it does not make mention
that the majority of the "potential open space" in the Tiburon Planning Area is located outside of
the Town boundary. There is no policy or program analysis discussing how the unincorporated
lands designated "potential open space" will be governed by the Town given the fact that they are
outside the Town jurisdiction. Accordingly, goals, objectives and application of the policies and
programs recommended would be very difficult to achieve. The plan should clearly disclose to
the citizens ofthe Town that the Town's autbority to apply the programs and policies to lands
outside of the Town' s jurisdiction is significantly limited to an advisory role. The plan should
include some analysis of the public policy context (LAFCO, Marin County) governing the land
use for property designated "potential open space."
Secondly, the Town's land use designation of "potential open space," particularly for properties
located outside of the Town's current boundary seems to ignore the current land use
designations specified in the Marin Countywide Plan and Development Code. Additionally,
properties within the Town boundary and outside oftbe boundary in unincorporated jurisdiction
have recent development plan approvals and/or court ordered land use stipulations that are
inconsistent with tbe recommended "potential open space" designation. For example, 14 acres of
Page I of 5
property located within the Town boundary on the frontage of Trestle Glen Blvd and south to
Stewart Road was recently approved by the Town for 3 estate homes and is no longer "potential
open space." The Martha Company property, 110 acres of property located just outside of the
Town boundary on Paradise Drive frontage and east of Ridge Road, has a Federal Court
judgment requiring the County of Marin to pcrmit construction of a minimum of 42 single
family homes.
Without discussion and acknowlcdgmcnt of the facts of the status of the lands being considered
for "potential open space," the plan fails to achieve its purpose of providing information and
analysis that will help frame review and refinement of the process. More importantly, without
some careful analysis of the status of these properties, the plan may mislead Tiburon citizens
about the "actual" or real potential for these properties to be future open space.
Specific Comments
More Tables Needed
To assist the public and owners ofthcprivatc properties designated as "potential open spacc" it
would be helpful to have a table listing all of the properties. The table should include the APN,
size, owner, in/out of Town boundary, current use, land use designation and zoning, current
entitlement status, and a brief summary of the property attributes that identifY it as a "potential
open space" resource. It would also be helpful if a table is provided that shows a total of the
Town boundary area and current percentage of the total area that is currently in public and private
open space. A similar table for "potential open space" outside of the Town boundary is also
needed. With this information, a number of comparisons can be made. For example, you could
compare existing Town open space to State standards, maybe using the Quimby Act regulations
as a threshold.
What is missing from the plan is an analysis of how much open space is needed to achieve the
Town's goals, not how much "potential open space" exists. (See Page 9, Policy OSC-I: what is
the "sense of open space that is provided by the large amounts of undeveloped land" 7) Can the'
Town goals, "the sense of open space", be met without designating a significimt number of
properties outside the Town boundary "potential open space" 7
Open Space Managemenl Policy
A full disclosure of the amount of open space and the audit and management cost spent currently
by the Town is needed. The plan (See Page 3) discusses past efforts to acquire open space but
there is no discussion of projected costs for acquiring properties designated "potential open
space." There is no discussion about the future projected costs to maintain public open space
and/or the fact that open space is a land use with future management costs. It has been clearly
demonstrated in Marin County that, as open space areas increase, the public demand for use
expands. Open spaec use generates potential traffic. parking, fire, geologic and other potential
safety hazards to surrounding properties. What is the Town's plan for managing use of future
expanded open space areas 7 An analysis of what the public cost to thc Town would be for
Page 2 of 5
acquiring land and management of all the "potential open space" should be provided in the
General Plan EIR.
Prime Open Space
On page 22 of the issue paper there is discussion about the concept of "prime open space." Staff
notes that the current General Plan lacks clarity about the relative importance of these open space
criteria. The discussion goes on to say that the "prime open space" policies recommended are
intended to apply "principally" to property designated "Potential Open Space." Does this mean
that redevelopment of developed large estate lots in the planning area will not be subject to the
"prime open space" policies? There are several larger developed residential properties in the
Tiburon Planning Area that if redeveloped could have significant impacts on property
characteristics described as "prime open space." To be consistent and ensure achieving the Town
open space goals the Town should consider application of the "prime open space" policies not
just to Vacant Land (Potential Open Space), but also to large developed properties rich in
land/water-based resources where the potential to redevelop may result in impacts on open space.
G. Deletion ofObso/ete or Unnecessary Programs
Staffhas made some recommendations in the issue paper to delete existing policy and programs
currently contained in the Geneml Plan. Specifically, staffclaims that because of new polices
recommended for the General Plan 2020, Program OSC-b: Defining Vista and View Corridors
and Ridgelines can be deleted. Staff recommends leaving the definition of important and vistas
and view corridors to the development review process.
Vista and View Corridor Areas
The current Tiburon General Plan, Program OSC-b calls for two actions by the Town. First, to
define secondary ridgelines of significance which was done by the Council in 1992 by adoption
of Resolution 2859. The second part of the program calls for the Town to develop and adopt
guidelines defining vistas and view corridors of significance. This has not been done. However,
staff claims that the new General Plan Policy (pp. l4, 30) provides clear direction on vista and
view corridors and further definition can best be provided during the development review process
when sites are being closely analyzed.
Leaving the definition of significant vista and view corridor areas to be defined during the
development review process is unreasonable and unfair to private property owners and the
public. Vista and view corridor areas are, based on the community survey results, a very
sib'flificant concern: Without a more careful analysis and definition of the significant corridors a
property owner who presents a development application ha~ no way of knowing what the vistas
and view corridor areas are and there is no threshold for measuring project consistency with
Town policy. Visual impact analysis is subjective.enough already. Unless thc Town defines
visual corridors more clearly the plan will not achieve its stated goal of providing information
and analysis that will help frame the development review process.
Page 3 of 5
Marin Counlywide Plan Policy (1994)
In several instances staff recommends incorporation of Marin Countywide Plan policies into the
new Town ofTiburon General Plan. It should be noted that the County of Marin is also in the
process of updating the Countywide Plan. Accordingly, some of the policies recommended for
incorporation may actually be changed by the County in the very near future. The Town and the
County staff should coordinate their efforts to avoid confusion, inconsistency and redundancy.
Parks and Open Space Commillee
On page 44 of the issue paper staff notes that appointment of an Open Space committee is no
longer necessary. Staff adds that among the duties in the Municipal Code for Parks and Open
Space Commission are to submit an annual report assessing the short and long term needs for
additional parklands and improvements, and annually submitting a proposed budget to the Town
Council for the acquisition or improvement of park and open space lands. Reviewing current and
past reports from the Parks and Open Space Commission regarding short and long term needs for
additional parklands and the annual budget to acquire and improve parks should be the basis for
the "potential open space" proposal in the General Plan not the fact that these lands are vacant.
Why isn't a copy of the Parks and Open Space Commission annual report provided in the
Appendix and used as the basis for analysis of what it needed and what it budgeted for parks and
open space? Where in the General Plan will the Town address the need for parks and
playgrounds that can be used by all ages. The "potential open space" lands will not serve
neighborhood park needs for residents that do not hike, bike or ride horses. What is the Town
planning for neighborhood parks and recreation? What are the park design standards, how many
are needed in the town, how big and where and how will they be improved? What is the Towns
budget for parks and open space acquisition and where will the money come from to acquire all
of the "potential open space" designated in the proposed plan.
Conclnsion
Without addressing the above noted issues the Town's new General Plan - Open Space and
Conservation Element could mislead the general public and private property owners regarding
the reality of "potential open space." Careful planning analysis of what park and open space
needs are for the Town's citizens should be the basis for general planning. The analysis should be
based on population, land area and existing conditions, thresholds and standards. For example,
the vacant land designated for potential open spaee is vacant but it may not be in an area where a .
park and open space is needed in the Town. What about neighborhood parks? Who is all the
open space for ?Does it provide what is needed for Town recreation needs or is it a regional
consideration that drives the "potential open space" mapping? If these future open spaces serve
the region and draws the public who will pay for the acquisition and maintenance?
The Town has the opportunity to clarifY many of the issues that have been the focus of discussion
in the development plan review process since the 1989 General Plan was adopted. We strongly
urge the staff, Planning Commission and the TownCouneil to address the real issues of
Page 4 of 5
"potential open space," need for parks and open space. Clearly designate the vista and view
corridor areas to be preserved in the updated Open Space and Conservation Element of the
General Plan. By not addressing the above noted issues many ofthc current planning matters will
remain unresolved. Without a careful plan for open space and conservation based on rational
planning analysis that addresses the needs for parks and open space, and a realistic budget for
acquisition and improvements special interests in the community may drive public policy.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the issue paper. Please do not hesitate to phone
with questions regarding this letter.

Comments on 12/03 Open Space & Conservation Element Issues Paper
-Submitted by Randy Greenberg
*old policy numbers are in fbracketsf
Land Use Element Issues
We should consider including in the LU element a program for the development of
"green" building policies. I note that the proposed new County "Single Family
Residential Design Guidelines" includes a fairly comprehensive list ofthese. Consider
including in these a limit or ban on the number of wood burning fireplaces in new
building and/or major remodels. I believe the County and other Marin cities have
developed .related ordinances.
Open Space Conservation Element Issues Paper:
1. Consider a redefinition of the "Tiburon Ridge" so that it includes the primary ridgeline
to the end of the peninsula.
2. p, 2. Table 1. If this table is used in the General Plan, it should be accompanied by a
coded map. In Table 1, a 25-acre 1973 purchase is described as being at the end of
Gilmartin, near St. Hilary's Church. Is this description correct?
3. p. 10, para. below box. IOSC-D). Consider putting existing OSC-D both in the
Safety element and in the Land Use element. This goal is directly relevant to
development. Such a policy belongs in the Land Use element. As discussed during
hearings on the LU issues paper, duplication is sometimes appropriate.
4. p. A-I. OSC-B. I agree that we should take out the language about "flexible guide" a~ .
it doesn't belong iri the OSC element. I note that in the revised language the word
"permanent" was left out. I suggest adding "permanently" before "preserve." In addition
I question whether we should leave the specifics about protection and enhancement out,
as they provide an explanation for the policy - which to my mind clarifies the goal and
explains why it is reasonable, which is desirable.
5. p. A-I. OSC-C (OSC-I]. The phrase "sense of open space" is unclear to me. This
needs to be better defined. For consistency with OSC-B, I think we should again include
the word "permanent" before "protect".
6.p. A-I. OSC-D IOSC-C]. In the current plan, "conservation areas" are defined. Thi,
was done to make the Plan more user-friendly. Conservation areas can mean different
things; they should be defined directly in the goal, as is currently done. Again, the phrase
"permanent protection" should be used.
7. p. A-I. OSC-E. The language offered seems to me to imply and invite active uses. In
cases of sensitive habitat and/or steep and unstable areas open space provides view sheds,
habitat value and a peaceful quietude. Such areas should not be managed for "use" in the
sense of activity. Better wording might be: "for the benefit of the entire community".

Pagel of 3
8. p.1I1. B. Prime Open Space. Why isn't the Tiburon Ridge included in the bulleted
list?
9. p. A-I, OSC-l IOSC-R]. Insert "pcrmancntly" before "preserve.
1 n. p. A-2. Preservation of Prime Open Space. Under this section, suggest new item
indicating that when the Town must allow development of prime open space to avoid a
taking, density must be kept a minimum.
11. p. A-2. OSC-4 IOSC~13]. Suggest new language: "PubJic or private land which has
been devoted to open space shall be permanently protected". . .
12. p. A-2. OSC-7 IOSC-I5]. Suggest deletion of "in a substantive manner" as it invites
controversy. Prefer reasonable case-by-ease assessment on this issue.
13. p. A-2. OSC-RIOSC-]41. The revision starts: "Where appropriate..." Without
definition or standards, this language invites controversy.
14. p. A-3. OSC-]O IOSC-5]. Insert "on either side of" before "Tiburon Ridge" for
clarity. In addition, consider reinstating the current language: "Undeveloped ridgelines
have overriding visual sil,'llifieance to the Town. To the maximum extent feasible, all
new development shall be set well below the ridgelines." I believe an umbrella statement
such as this adds weight to the setback policies, encourages their enforcement and
educates the reader. I believe the County has a l,'Teater horizontal setback from
ridgelines. We should considering adopting a conforming policy.
]5. p. A-3. OSC-]] IOSC-51 Insert ,"either side of' before "the Tiburon Ridge" for
clarity. 1 believe the County policy is a ] 00 vertical setback from ridgelines. We should
considering adopting a conforming policy.
]6. p. A-3. OSC-12 IOSC-5]. Add "either side of' before "Significant Ridgelines."
Consider adding vertical setbacks for sil,'llificant ridgelines for consistency and for
protection of the visual qualities of these ridgelines.
17. p. A-4. OSC-19. Add "to the maximum extent" before "feasible". While this
addition still allows for reduction of buffer zones, it gives the direction in this policy
greater weight and acts to more effectively protect wetlands.
18. p. A-4. OSC-2] IOSC-121. Add "each" before "bank" and "each bank of' before
"ephemeral watercourses" to clarify that the setback is fTOm each side of watercourses.
19. p. A-4. OSC-25. Consider deleting the word "substantially" which invites
controversy and has no real meaning without defined standards. Add "to the maximum
extent feasible" after "ensure".

20. p. A-5, OSC-26 IOSC-7]. I note that otber Marin jurisdictions have more stringent
slope policies. Novato, for instance, requires that slopes not exceed 25% for residential
development. Consider reevaluating the 40% figure.
21. p. A-5. OSC-28. Insert "maximum" before "extent feasible".
22. p. A-6. OSC-38. Change "effect" to "impacts".
23. p. A-6. OSC-41. Delete tbe "to" after "contiguous and insert "to Town open space"
after "inter-related".
24. p. A-6. OSC-42. Add "on its open space land" to end of sentence for clarity,
assuming this is the intent of this policy.
25. p. A-7. Water Supply, Consider an implementing program to require or encourage
the use of !,'I"ay water for irrigation in new building and major remodels.
26. p. A-8. OSC-54. Suggest an associated implementation program such as: 'The
Town shall develop an ordinance or guidelines for outlining !,'I"een building principles.
27. p. A-8. OSC-a. Replace the word "Proponents" witb "Applicants".
28. p. A-8. OSC-b IOSC-f). Insert "within its sphere of influence" after "development
applications" .
Precise Development Plan, rev. 3/03
4.08.02 Contents.
29. All maps submitted (e.g. grading, resource conservation, erosion & siltation control,
landscape, geoteclurical, slide repair, etc.) should be drawn to tbe same scale to allow
better analysis.
30. c. In regard to the grading plan: Where a developer does not intend to build
housing, but just to develop and sell ,Jots, grading plans should be required to show
grading for "conceptual" houses so that tbe Town can have a reasonably clear idea of
total grading required for a project. Based on the language in "c", I am not sure if this is
required.
31. 4.08.04 Principles. I believe we should explicitly stated that "Development on
geologically hazardous areas is to be avoided to the greatest extent possible" in this
section.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE: REVIEW OF OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION
ELEMENT ISSUES PAPER; Take Public Comment for a Rcport to the Town
Council Rcgarding Recommcndation for Gencra] Plan Goa]s, Policics and Pro/,'rams
lor the OS and Conservation E]cment of thc Gcnera] Plan.
Community Dcve]opment Director Anderson introduced Kevin Bryant, Advance Planner.
Planner Bryant rcviewed the Stafl"rcport.
The public comment period was opened.
Reza Pourilln, who owns lots on Paradise Drive, stated open space is a nicc package to
take ovcr someone's lot to stop them from building on the lot. Solid waste and quality of
water become issues that pcop]e respect,' and arc issues to prevent his building on his lot.
When he purchased the lot there were no restrictions on it. He asked that the Planning
Commission consider the number of lots rccommcnded for open space-there are not that
many that will affect solid waste. His lot is meant for his.retiremcnt. Neighbors want the
lot to be open space for them. His two lots are above Paradise Cay; one is two acres and
one is.three acres.
Commissioner Greenberg stated therc has been an open spacc policy sincc ] 989 and there
are modest changes being proposed at this time, and asked ifhc bclieves that there are
changcs that will prevent him from building.
Mr. Pourian stated he would have to hirc an attorney to answer the question.
Jerry Riesscn, Last Chancc Committee, statcd he will submit a comments letter. He
believes, since] 989, the Tiburon General Plan has protected opcn space to the maximum
extent feasible. He applauds all such cfforts and asked that recommendations in the
Gcneral Plan Updatc be utilized today for any planning decisions on dcvelopment
projects. Staff and consultants have added spccificity to what was a]rcady in thc Plan.
Open space is the dcfining charactcr of the community and that it was desircd to be
maintained. Thc General Plan Update is a /,'fcat step torward in preserving open space.
Remaining properties havc not been dcveloped because therc are substantial
environmental constraints, such as landslides and acccss issues. On each property wherc
there are environmental impacts, benefits will have to outwcigh thc environmcnta]
impacts. He said that the lcss number oflots that are developcd, the better. Hc applaudcd
the recommcndation to incrcasc the amount of open space to hc preserved on a lot to 75
percent. Hc suggested that the Tiburon Ridge be extendcd to the knoll, and not be
terminated at the County boundary line. There are a number of proposals in his lettcr.
With the money Tihuron residents have taxed themselves for open spacc, views from
public spaccs should be prescrvcd.

Scott Hochstrasser, land use planner, working with owners who have property within the
potential open space areas, stated the Issues Paper does not address what parks and open
space is needed. Over 300 acres of potential open space arc outside the town boundary,
of which there is no mention in the Issues Paper. It should be clearly spelled out that
these policies, particularly the dcsi/,,'nation of open space and the oV(''l"lay of the prime
open space concept, can only be in an advisory role because many properties arc outside
the town limits. The Issues Paper is a summary of what the current General Plan has
achieved. The General Plan Update should do more than revisit plans, policies and
objectives. It should recommend policies which arc now appropriate. For county-zoned
property, there is no acknowledgement that development entitlements have been granted.
The Martha Project has a court judgment to pennit development. There is no summary of
all properties proposed as open space and development standards for those, and what
open spaces are needed has not been addressed. He asked what the "sense of open space
that is provided by the large amounts" of open space is, and how much is needed. The
General Plan should discuss acquiring and maintaining open space properties. The
General Plan is for managing future open space, which is a land use. He asked who the
open space is for: the Town of Tiburon or residents? The open spaces identified in the
plan have a potential use. How prime open space in the Issues Paper is applied is not
clear. He asked if it means large properties are or are not subject to open space resources.
There are many lots that could he redeveloped or subdivided. Open space areas should
apply to large Jots. OSC-b in the current General Plan called for the Town to define
ridgelines, and to define vistas and view corridors. Staff has recommended this pro/,,'ram
be removed. The Town should analyze views and vistas and make those the primary
concern of the General Plan to achieve its purpose. He asked how planners can dcsi!,'1l if
this is not known. Regarding removing the requirement that the Open Space Commission
provide an annual report, he asked where the report is, if the purpose of the Commission
is to address needs for parks and standards for developing parks. He asked where the
money will come from to buy designated open space in the General Plan, and stated open
space is not real until it is determined there is money to buy the property. He asked where
the parks are for the children inside the town, and stated, without this analysis, if property
owners do not know what the plan is, the reality of the plan makes no sense. This
precludes planning f()r neighborhood parks. There is a danger parks will be detennined
by special interests, not the whole community.
George Landau, Sugarloaf Drive, stated he thought this meeting was to deal with open
space only. Detennining the needs of open space was asked by Mr. Hoehstrasser. The
Town should preserve what the Town has. Open space parcels have heen hought by the
Town. Preserve as much open space as can be preserved. Parks are a separate issue, and
open space is not addressed as a park.
.loa!,! F'oster, Sierra Court, stated that she thought the discussion was about Tiburon's open
space and parks. She is interested in thc [Richardson Bay] Lineal Park. She asked if the
space near Blaekie's Pasture has been addressed, as instructed by the Town Council.

Planner Bryant responded that the discussion on parks will be latcr. This ineludes
Blackie's Pasture. Undeveloped parcels on the ridge mostly are under discussion at this
time.
Ms. Foster added that it was asked that the Planning Commission rcturn with language to
address parks.
Planncr Bryant responded this will be done at a later time.
Becky Pringle stated thcre are rights for both those who do not want development and
thosc who have large properties to be developed. Thc planner in 1989 determined five
acres per home and property owners had to defend their private property rights. When
planning for other people's property, the Planning Commission should be fair and not
impose taking of people's property. Measure I woul'd have been a taking of people's
,property without fair reimbursement. The General Plan should include not punishing the
people who bought the empty property. Paying people for their property for open space is
appropriate, restricting development in the General Plan is not appropriate. Consider
lall!,'llage that considers the rights of all property owners in Tiburon and the sphere of
influence.
Jarlaith O'Connor, Paradise Drive, stated his property of 12.3 aeres is private property,
and people's private property should not be appropriated but should be sold at market
value. To desi!,'Ilate private property as open space is not acceptable. He said that his
property will not be taken without a trip to the Supreme Court.
Fiona O'Connor asked if there should not be an Environmentallmpact Report completed
for these properties. She stated some parcels have two acres, some have more or less, and
zoning should be the same for all properties. The green on the map over her parents'
property is threatening; it docs look like eminent domain. She asked if there is a plan to
pay people for their property.
Mr. Oloumi, on behalf of his father, stated the language "75 percent open space" is not
clear, and asked if one can build a tennis court in that arca. He statcd it is threatening to
put green color on a map on people's property, and added keeping 75 percent ofa lot f(lr
opcn space is a ](\t. Their propcrty is in the Eagle Rock/Bay Vista area and is about six
acres. Hc asked how it becomes part of Tiburon, and stated there arc many unclear
issues. The Town ofTiburon should buy all the !,'Teen-colored arcas on the map.
Betsy Little, Ridge Road, asked that thc Commission give consideration to the slope
policy in areas of town, such as thc City of Nova to does. She asked that the Planning
Commission continue to be fair to property owncrs. She would likc restrictions on land
with 25 percent slopc and for thc Planning COImnission to look at grading and cutting,
and drainagc.

Bill McLaughlin stated there will be several legal briefs submitted and a period of time is
necessary fClr this to occur.
In response to questions, Planner Bryant stated there will be further hearings; thc next
will be a report of this meeting to the Town Council in a month.
There being no further questions, the public comment period was closed.
Commissioner Kunzweiler stated the comments heard at this meeting crystallize the
difficulty of the tradeoff of the desire by a strong majority of citizens to preserve open
space and property owners' rights. There should .be an explanation of the takings law.
That land will be taken is not an accurate representation. The report should indicate what
the land shaded green means to the property owner. The report should detail better the
!,'Teen-shaded property in the county and discuss why the Town has the responsibility to
annex, and how the annexation process proceeds and what that means to the citizens.
Commissioner Collins stated he. would like to see a narrative explanation that describes
clearly the process of potential open space and what it means to everyone, those least and
most affected. The Town must be very careful to make people understand property will
not be taken. Use of open space should be discussed as well as whether there should be a
policy as to what the use should be. Pollution is not defined and should be. He will give
a memo with additional commcnts to Staff.
Commissioner Greenberg stated she sees, over time, a very clear trend, which is that less
development is allowed than used to be allowed, because of more population in the town,
and she does not see the trend changing. Those who think they have something to lose
are those speaking on this issue. The plan does not intend to not allow people to use their
property. Properties outside Tiburon are in the County but arc in the sphere of influence
ofTiburon and by law must be addressed. Regarding 75 percent being in open space and
what can be put on that space, and what it means, is defined by many layers. The goal is
to protect property values and people's rights. Development rights have somewhat
diminished and property values have increased over the years. "Potential open space" is
defined as any parcels not developed, not that the owners have no rights.
Commissioner Fraser stated hc reviewed this issue at thc Parks and Open Space
Commission level, and specificity was requested. Public comments indicate lack of
speciticity with respect to property deemed to be potential open spacc, and who has thc
authority to detennine what and how the property may be desi!,'Ilatcd as open space. The
report should be more specific regarding rights of landowners and how they may be
impacted. The community needs balance between landowners and the desires and rights
of citizens in the community. The report should outline fClr the community guidelines and
the laws of the county and town, and how they pertain to this issue.

Chair Snow asked Staff if the Planning Commission would revisit this before it is
forwardcd to the Council. The comments at this meeting would have bccn better heard
early. Hc askcd citizens to write and send comments to the Town.
Advance Planner Bryant stated commcnts from this mecting and broader qucstions of the
legal framework, i.e., what the green shading on the map means to property owners can
he spcllcd out in the report to the Council and could go to property owners prior to the
Council meeting. He suggested that these questions be addressed and that thc Update
proccss continue moving forWard simultaneously. Planning Commission comments and
lan/,'Uagc twcaking will continue in the draft General Plan stage. Written comments can
be submitted to Staff or thc Planning Commission can havc them returned for review at a
mecting; however, he recommends moving the process forward.
Chair Snow stated he would like staff to spend more time defining the report, making
changcs, and return the report to the Commission.
Commissioncr Greenberg stated a summary of this hearing'will be in the report to the
Council. The Planning Commission should havc morc discussion in the future if there
are areas wherc therc is strong consensus to see what emerges. This is very early in thc
process.
Community Development Dircctor Anderson stated property owners with concerns or
confusion should call Stan; who would gladly meet with them to discuss thc matter in
detail.
Commissioner Greenberg added that Mr. Hochstrasser's commcnts wcrc interesting. Hc
noted that prime open space is being applied to large undeveloped properties only, and he
raised the issuc ofwhcn large single lots are developed. The Open Space and
Conservation Element deals with conservation and opcn spacc, not parks; it is not true
that more open space means less parks. Parks will bc addressed in thc Parks and
Recreation Element. Tiburon is not abandoning neighborhood parks and taking property.
Regarding vistas and viewpoints, Staff should ensure their work is accurate and the Town
should not abandon that program.
Commissioner Collins added he would like to sce a map of key roads related to the
protcction of views and vistas.
Commissioner Kunzweiler stated thcrc is concern of property owners, and the rcport
should help people determine a fair expectation of property rights. The reports should
discuss other issues - grading, impacts on waterways, etc. - and define these so
landowncrs know the extent to which their propcrtics havc components and to what can
rcalistically be built on the property. Much land presently not developed is difficult to
build on or so disruptivc it gocs against the wishes oflhe vast majority ofresidents.
People should look at their property and assess what thc fair cxpcctations are, and know

the elements f(lr sound planning of a property. Perhaps a citizen's handbook that helps
people understand impacts is timely.
Commissioner Greenberg stated it is very complicated when items are left out ofthc
Update process. She would like to review a complete draft General Plan to see how the
total nows. In 1989, when densities wcre assi~,'ned, a hest effort was madc to consider the
terrain and what the problems might be. "Maximum extent feasible" language meant
what it said, and reflected the wishes of the Town's residents, but the language also
provided for flexibility. She would like "maximum extent feasible" put back in, not
"extent feasible." Regarding "permanent protection of open space," she would like
"permanent" put back where it was removed. These changes change policy. The county
sometimes has different policies than Tiburon and Tiburon has thought the policies
should be consistent, which they should be. In particular, she mentioned slope policy and
ridgeline and watercourse setbacks.
Commissioner Kunzweiler concurred, and askcd how to factor in grading with road
construction. OSC-ll docs not discuss !,'1"ading roads. Grading for access roads can be
more si!,'I1ificant than grading for the sitc. Regarding water supply and development of
Paradise Drive properties, hc asked whcrc sewage treatmcnt plants and capacity go, and if
they are a constraint or vehiele for development. These impacts must bc considered.
Planner Bryant noted discussion ofthis issue was included in the land usc element.
Commissioner Fraser stated policies OSC 37-42 should have a specific strategy on how to
manage and budget for dedicated open space. Today there is no desi!,'I1ated budget
strcam; what we have are local conservation !,'1"OUPS and volunteers who do good work on
an ad hoc basis. There should be a budget allocation for this. The Town's great open
space should be looked after. The Plan needs an implementation policy, a pro!,'1"am,
rather than it being done ad hoc.
Commissioner Kunzweiler asked, in OSC-6, if there is a definition of "estate lots." He
stated it is a loaded tcrm in this document.
Commissioner Greenberg stated estate lots implies that development will be spread out
over the whole site as opposed to being clustered in a portion of the site.
Commissioner Kunzweiler asked why, with regard to OSC-22, regarding I OO-year flood
zones, the wording is soft here. He recommended there be stronger wording such as.not
building in flood zones.
Community Development Dircctor Andcrson rcspondcd thcrc are no large subdividablc
properties located in flood zones.
Commissioner Kunzweiler stated the public that there are arcas in Marin County where
development is limited to property with slopes of less than 25 percent.

Commissioner Grcenberg noted Novato uses 25 perccnt for slope policy. Staff should
chcck on othcr citics in thc county.
Commissioner Kunzwcilcr notcd OSC-54, "'Tccn building principles, should bc clarificd
and documcnted, and communicated to thc Desi,,'Tl Rcvicw Board.
Chair Snow addcd that the ""'Tay water" issuc also is very important and whcrc it applics

It was the Commission's recommendation that these commcnts be put in the record and
given to Council, and to encourage thc public to send information to Staffto incorporate
into the report going to the Town Council.
Commissioner Greenberg recommended thc audience put specific comments in writing so
thcy can be addressed spccifically, and addcd that the opportunity for public comment is
not closed.

This letter is a follow-up to the discussion of the General Plan's Open Space &
Conservation Element that took place at the Planning Commission meeting of January
14,2004. After public comments, members of the Planning Commission expressed a
desire to clarify for the property owners what the Potential Open Space designation in
the Open Space & Conservation Element means for them.
..,....
p,~~'i'.,:Srriith
Coilncilmemncl
First, I would like to acknowledge the validity of comments which were made with
respect to the mapping. Without an understanding of how the Potential Open Space
diagram frts into the entire. General Plan, the designation of a property as "Potential
Open Space" could indeed be alarming.
It is the purp'ose of this letter to provide that critical context and to demonstrate that the
Town is not proposing to "take" these properties from the private owners.
What does being designated "Potential Open Space" in the Open Space &
Conservation Element mean?
The designation of a property as "Potential Open Space" in the Open Space &
Conservation Element does not mean that the property will be taken' by the Town or
that it cannot be developed. However, it does mean that development of these
properties will have to be done in a manner which protects the natural resources which'
are found on them.
Earlier in the General Plan Update process, in July 2003, the Town published the Land
Use Element Issues Paper, This paper was distributed to major landowners and was
the subject of public hearings before the Planning Commission and Town Council in
August and September,
The Land Use Element Issues Paper recommends that the properties which are
generally undeveloped or underdeveloped and have the greatest site challenges for
development be designated as Planned Development - Residential. Along with the
designation, the recommendations contain a property description as well as a
. maximum allowable density, which in virtually every case is identical to the Town'S
current General Plan (see enclosure). .
It .is important to point out that the Land Use Element and the Open Space &
Conservation Element are meant to work together. The Land Use Element sets a
ATTACHMENT 5
January 23, 2004
Page 2 of 3
maximum allowable density, but cautions property owners that achievement of that
density depends on adequate protection of the natural resources on the property. The
Open Space & Conservation Element, particularly the discussion and policies relating
to "Prime Open Space", defines those natural resources.
Designation of a property as "Potential Open Space" does not mean the Town can or
will require that the entire property become open space. The designation as "Potential
Open Space" is intended to provide an additional indication that the properties have
environmental constraints which might limit development potential and also that the
Town would seek to preserve the undevelopable portions as open space.
There may also be an assumption that the Town will seek ownership of any
undeveloped open space on these properties. While in the past the Town has
accepted dedication of open space lands, more recently open space has been
preserved through tools such as easements, which leave the ownership of land in
private hands.
The Town will seek access to those open spaces which contribute to its open space
and trails network, such as extending the Tiburon Ridge Trail to the end of the Tiburon
peninsula. On many other open spaces, the Town will not seek access.
What if my property is in the County?
It was correctly pointed out that 11 of the 19 properties identified on the Potential Open
Space diagram are currently located in the County of Marin. How and why the Town is
planning for these properties is a reasonable question.
State law requires that the Town's General Plan include "any land outside its
boundaries which in the planning agency's judgment bears relation to its planning.'"
The Marin County Local Agency Formation Commission (Marin LAFCO) has
established the Town's Sphere of Influence (SOl) which defines the probable physical
boundaries and service area of the Town. The Town's SOl currently includes the
unincorporated area of Paradise Drive, and the Strawberry area. LAFCO is in the
process of updating the SOl for southern Marin jurisdictions, including Tiburon. As of
today, it is expected that all of the properties which are identified as Potential Open
Space will remain in the Town's SOl. Therefore, the Town will continue to plan for
those properties in its General Plan.
To help facilitate the orderly provision of urban services, the Marin LAFCO has
adopted a Dual Annexation Policy, which states that when urban services, such as
annexation to a sanitary sewer district, are provided to unincorporated land, concurrent
or subsequent annexation to a city is required if the land is located within the city'S
SOl.
, State of California Government Code Section 65300
January 23, 2004
Page 3 of 3
The County of Marin's Countywide Plan (1994) defines Tiburon's Urban Service Area
(USA) as the same as its SOl. County policies for development in the USA are:
. that "the County's zoning of unincorporated lands in urban service areas should
permit less intensive development than is permitted by the city,"
. that "all development applications within a city's USA should be reviewed by the
city to ensure consistency with its land use and development policies," and
. that "prior to development of vacant unincorporated lands within an urban service
area, the unincorporated territory should seek annexation to the city, unless the
city signifies that it does not desire to annex the lands at that time.'"
Taken together, these policies indicate that while development without urban services
could occur with approvals by the County of Marin, instead of the Town' of Tiburon, this
would likely result in fewer approved homes.
I appreciate that understanding the regulatory framework for development in these
areas is difficult. It is my sincere hope that this letter has clarified that the Town is not
planning to take private properties and turn them into parks or Town-owned open
spaces.
I encourage you to call me at (415) 435-7385 if you would like to discuss these issues
further.
Sincerely,
?

Consolidation of Very Low and Low Low Designations with Vacant Land inventory
The Town's General Plan currently has Very Low and Low Low Density Residential
desil,,'1Iations. In addition, the Town's General Plan has a separate table (Table 1 :
Proposed Residential Densities for Remaining Vacant Land in thc'Tiburon Planning
Area, August] 989) which prescribes the maximum densities for the lands identified on
the Vacant Land Inventory.
Two properties are desil,,'1Iated Very Low and four properties are desil,,'1Iated Low Low.
Maximum densities for all but two of these properties are controlled by their inclusion on
Table 1. In addition, the densities on the Vacant Land Table supersede the density
designation on the Land Use Diagram.
To more closely mimic the Zoning Ordinance, which has a Residential Planned
Development District, it is recommended that a new designation, Planned Devclopment _
Residential (PD-R), be created and that it replace the Very Low and Low Low Density
designations and thc Vacant Land Table. Brief descriptions of the properties are
provided below, including the maximum allowable density and units, and it is
recommended that these descriptions be included in the Gencral Plan. The letters

Propl.'l1ies which would be desi6'T1ated Planned Development - Residential would be
properties whicb were desi6'T1ated Very Low or Low Low or were included on the Vacant
Land Table in the existing General Plan. There would bc virtually no change from the
current maximum density allowed for any property with the new designation (density
changes are noted).

Tiburon Planning Conunission
] 505 Tiburon Blvd.
Tiburon, CA 94920
Re: Open Space and Conservation Element of the Tiburon General Plan
Dear Commissioners,
Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the meeting on February 19, 2004. I would like to
reiterate, as I did on January 14, that I am pleased, .particularly after living in Los
Angeles, that we have a Planning Commission and firmly believe that the Town will try
to encourage "well-designed projects that enhance its image through the development and
design review processes." (OSC-6)
Pursuant to the meeting on January 14 of the OSC, the Town should take a serious look at
the slope policy. It was brought up at the meeting that "there is a reason why the
undeveloped land within the township is not developed." The development of these very
large parcels over 4.5 acres would have huge environmental and community
ramifications.
I concur with several of Commissioner Greenberg's suggestions that "when the Town
must allow development of prime open space.. ..density must be kept to a minimwn" and
to take heed of other Marin jurisdictions. We should adopt Novato's more stringent slope
policy which restricts slopes to 25% for residential, and to give serious consideration to
reevaluating our limit of 40%. The ,General Plan states "Approximately 90% of the
remaining vacant land in the Tiburon Planning Area is over 30% slope which increases
the chances for unstable conditions in addition to dramatically increasing the cost of
development (General Plan la.).,. "There is widespread presence of unstable or
potentially unstable slopes throughout the Tiburon Planning Area. A mass grading
approach to development of these areas is unacceptable to the Town due to the
environmental and aesthetic ramifications associated with mass grading." (General Plan
I. c) OSC-D states "To discourage to the maximum extent feasible development of areas
subject to hazards, including but not limited to, geotechnical problems, unstable slopes
and flood-prone areas." The Plan realizes "while accommodation of growth is an
accepted reality, it should be so directed as to preserve and enhance views, ridge lines,
significant vegetation, habitats and environmentally sensitive areas to the maximum
extent possible... "(OSC-2) Development should avoid ridgelines or prominently visible
areas. "(L U-l 9). Currently OSC-7 regarding the Town's slope policy states "The Town
shall DISCOURAGE development on slopes exceeding 40% whenever possible. To the
extent feasible, slopes created by grading shall not exceed 30%. Final contours and
slopes shall reflect existing land forms." OSC-d further says, the "Hillside Development
Ordinance should prohibit development on slopes in excess of 40%." "When incompetent
lands are in a steep angle of reposc, landslide events can begin with the slightest

provocation, such as man-made cuts at the bottom of the hill or loading at the top of the
hill." (Gen. Plan., p.13) In swnmary, we need to comply with the Plan; otherwise, what
is its worth?
Bravo to the Commission for making sure projects are compatible with existing
neighborhoods, rather than existing adjacent developments. Proximities of new
residences can create undesirable physical circumstances when compared with other
properties in the area. Levels of privacy and view protection need to be maintained.
In swnmary, a hard look at the slope policy would assure developments recognize
environmental constraints; preserve, protect and enhance native woodland areas; and
protect visual values and privacy. An amendment to our current slope policy would
benefit public interest and the Town as a whole by providing more restrictive and more
detailed regulations for development on hillsides thus facilitating the protection of the
community's hillsides. Hillside development would be less intensive and more sensitive
and would result in fewer or lower, environmental impacts, such as, but not limited to,
less erosion and grading, less tree and woodland removal, and fewer aesthetic impacts in
terms of views and privacy. It would preserve our scenic vistas in their natural state,
limiting development in hillside areas and encouraging retention of natural topographic
features and vegetation. We need to preserve what we have.
Thank you for your favorable consideration.

DearMr. Bryant,
I was able to download the Open Space & Conservation Element Issues Paper, General Plan
Update. I realize in the. grand scheme of things, this little corner of our town is not so
very important, but getting it into this update of the General Plan might solve several
local problems and questions. I coUldn't see where it was correctly defined in any of your
maps.
The first page shows three areas in question.
First, the ten foot green strip along Trestle Glen Blvd. This is set aside on the recorded map
of Hacienda Terrace Unit One Subdivision, Map Bk. 6, Pg. 80 as a part of this subdivision
that is reserved space with no ingress or egress the full length of Warren Court and
Benton Court along Trestle Glen. Because it is already recorded as such in 1949, don't you
think it should be noted in the General Plan? It is contiguous to the County line at
Paradise Drive on the east, and the Cherry Property (new name?) on the west.
Second is the Bostick triangle which is marked on that same map Bk. 6 Pg. 80 as, "Not a
part of Subdivision." The latest recorded deed is 3489604-79 Warren and Virginia Bostick.
My husband Calvin knew Dr. Warren Bostick from his days with UCSF. Cal wrote to him a
few years ago after they had moved to Sacramento in retirement. We asked about a view
easement across his triangle. He asked his son Bruce to get in touch with us about that
deed. Bruce wrote that he thought his father had given it to the Town of Tiburon many
years ago, but he would check it out. I sent him a copy of what ] had from the County
Recorder (attached). We never heard from him again. Because the two triangles at the
other end of Benton Court were designated as recreation and not a part of the subdivision,
] believe this triangle was retained by the Bosticks as a link to the cow pastures in the
unincorporated areas along Paradise Drive. Trestle Glen was a cowpath from their dairy
farm at Blackie's Pasture to the gates at the end of Trestle Glen. When we moved here in
1%7 there were still remnants of the old wire fence and posts from Tiburon Blvd. along
Trestle Glen, our property line No 4 and Lipschultz No.5, then up the hill along the County
line.
Incidentally that fence line used to be marked as a public hiking trail along the County
line. The deer still use it. You have the trail/going up the paved Hacienda Terrace to the
open space at the end of that. V Oh j'&~/1 md"c:'
There are a few changes that will need to be dealt with if you want to connect all three
properties as dedicated open space, Very nearly half of the Bostick triangle and a large

Since 1989, the Town has secured open space eascmel1ls on a number of private
propertJe.s, mostly through the developmenll'eview process. It is I'ecommended (hal this
be reflected in the Land Use Diagram by desi!,'11aling those portions of private land Ihat
are suhjc;lC1 to open space easements as Open Space.
J/ewnI/lwluJed Change ill Lnnd fl.", /)("ignatioll: Those. portions of
properties that are subject to open space el\.~emems will be designated
{)pen Space on the Land Use D&a~ram.

SUBJECT: Establishment of a Stormwater Runoff Impact Fee

MEETING DATE: February 26, 2004
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
BACKGROUND
At the March 19, 2003 Town Council meeting, staff presented a number of revenue enhancement
concepts for Council consideration. The Council directed staff to pursue several' of the options
presented, including a stormwater runoff impact fee, and return to the Council with a specific fee
proposal.
DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The concept of a drainage impact fee is similar to the Town's existing street impact fee. The intent is
to capture revenue which offsets the cumulative impact of new impervious surfaces created by
building construction projects throughout the Town of Tiburon. Town maintained streets and storm
drain facilities have been impacted by the effects 0 f cumulative runoff increases 0 ver the years,
requiring storm drain upgrades andlor improvements and street re-contouring to conveylcontrol the
increased flows. The Centro West-Raccoon Lane storm drain improvement project (which cost the
Town over $100,000) and Taylor Road (at Paradise Drive) project are recent examples.
Current deficiencies include Spanish Trail near Vistazo West (where increased runoff cannot be
contained by existing facilities during heavy rains) and Trestle Glen at Juno Road (where the bottom
portion of the culvert beneath the Juno Road has completed deteriorated and the underlying soil
eroded away). Because many of the subdivisions in Tiburon are at least 30 to 40 years, staff is
concerned that many similar culvert failures are imminent in the coming years as they have now
exceeded their design life. Staff is beginning to see surface manifestations (sinkholes, depressions,
etc.) of these culvert failures in a variety of locations throughout Town.
It is estimated that the Town would have to appropriate over $250,000 per year just to keep up with
deferred maintenance throughout the storm drain system. In recent years, the Town has spent about
$200,000 per year on storm drain projects as part of the Capital Improvement Program. Since the
Town has no dedicated drainage-related revenue source, the Town has typically used General Fund
revenues to pay for storm drain rehabilitation projects. With the establishment of a drainage impact
fee, a portion of the cost for storm drain rehabilitation could be shifted away from General Fund
revenues.
Construction in Tiburon currently creates approximately 100,000 square feet of new impervious
surfaces in a year. The overwhelming majority of these new impervious surfaces are associated with
residential construction projects (remodels, new houses, etc.) and is expected to slowly decline over
time as lots are 'built out'. Most commercial construction projects do not create new impervious
areas.

Staff has consulted town, cities, and counties throughout California to ascertain if other agencies
have implemented such a fee. To date, staff has learned that several agencies, including Contra
Costa County and the City of Watsonville, have adopted drainage impact fees. The fee amount is
based on the area (in square feet) of new impervious surface created by new construction and
ranges between $0.35 (Watsonville) and $0.98 (Contra Costa County) per square foot. .
The Town currently has approximately 12.2 million square feet of residential impervious surface
area. The Town's capital improvement cost to rehabilitate the storm drain system is $10,300,000.
This indicates a capital cost of $0.84 per square foot of impervious surface. Extrapolating from the
Town's past experience, Staff proposes a fee formula of $0.84 per square foot to offset the
proportionate impact of additional stormwater runoff generated by new impervious surfaces created
as a result of construction projects. Assuming an average of 75,000 square feet of impervious
surfaces will be created during t he coming years, the fee would be expected to generate about
$63,000 per year.
Staff believes that since this is an impact fee, it would not be subject to voter approval.pursuant to
Proposition 218. The fee would need to be imposed and administered in accordance the procedures
and criteria outlined in Government Code 9 66000 et seq. The fee would take effect '60 days after
adoption by the Council. Public noticing of the proposed fee was provided in acco,rdance with
applicable State law.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council take the following actions:
1. Hold a public hearing and receive comments.
2. Adopt the draft resolution establishing a Stormwater Runoff Impact Fee.

WHEREAS, impervious surfaces within the Town ofTiburon have a direct impact on
the magnitude of storm water flows; and
WHEREAS, the creation of additional impervious surfilcesdue to construction
activities further increases stormwater runoff and reduces the capacity, performance and
sustainability of the Town's storm drain system; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate for construction projects resulting in new impervious

sustainability, and rehabilitation of the storm drain system; and
WHEREAS, the Town ofTiburon has adopted an ordinance (codified as Chapter] 48
of the Municipal Code) establishing the authority for imposing and collecting Public Facilitics
Development Fees; and
WHEREAS, the Town has provided public notice of the proposed impact fee in
accordance with Government Code, (i(i66000 et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council further finds as follows:
A. The purpose of the stormwater impact fee is to upgrade, enhance, and/or
rehabilitate the Town's storm drain system to accommodate drainagc watcr
resulting from the creation of new impervious surfaces.
B. The stormwater generated through creation of new impervious surfaces will
exceed the capacity of the Town's current storm drain system in the abscncc
of substantial improvements and will hasten the detcrioration of existing storm
drain facilities. There is a substantial government interest in maintaining an
adequate storm drain systcm in order to prevent flooding and other damage to
public and privatc property.
C. In order to project its futurc storm drainage rchabilitation needs, the Town
undertook a study (hereinafter "Study") entitled Town of Tiburon Drainage
Impact Fee Analysis and dated February] 0,2004, available for review in the
office of Town Engineer. Said study found that the estimated capital
standard engineering practices at $10,300,000 in 2003 dollars. Approximately
12.2 million square feet of residential impervious surface area eontributes to
the Town's existing storm drain system. This creates a ratio of$0.84 for each
square foot ofimpervious surface toward the upgrade and rehabilitationofthe
storm drain system. Thus, the fee per square foot of new impervious surface
is proportional to that project's contribution to increased storm water runolI
I. The Town Council finds that Tiburon's storm drainage system components are
located throughout the entire Town. Therefore, for purposes of establishing a
Zone of Benefit for storm drain system rehabilitation, it is logical and
reasonable to designate the entire Town ofTiburon corporate limits as a single
benefit zone. New impervious surface will be assessed fees based upon a
single fee established for the entire zone of benefit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon does hereby resolve as follows:
I. Definitions. For ourposes of this Resolution. the following terms shall be defined as
follows:
(a) "Building Permit" means a permit required by and issued pursuant to chapter 13 of
the Tiburon Municipal Code.
(b) "Construction Project" means any project requiring any permit or entitlement
defined herein /Tom the Town of Tiburon that would result in a net increase in impervious
surface.
(c) "Encroachment Permit" means a permit required by and issued pursuant to chapter

(d) "1 mpervious surface" means any surface which does not allow direct infiltration of
stormwater including, but not limited to buildings, building additions, new paved eoncrete
or asphalt surfaces.

BACKGROUND
On January 15, 2004, the Tiburon Design Review Board conditionally approved a Site Plan and
Architectural Review application for the construction of a new single-family dwelling to be
located on the property at 4 Cazadero Lane. William and Helen Lindqvist, owners of the
property at 3 Cazadero Lane, have appealed this decision to the Town Council on several
grounds which are discussed below (Exhibit #2).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property is located off the Cazadero Lane cul-de-sac. The existing residence was formerly
referred to as 251 Moitoza Lane, but the proposed residence would have access from Cazadero
Lane. The existing house and accessory structure would be demolished. The proposed home
would be a two-level structure, with a pool and detached pool house in the rear yard. The
majority of the home would be constructed at street level, and would consist of three bedrooms,
three bathrooms, family room, dining room, living room, kitchen, laundry room, and a two car
garage. At the rear of the residence, the living room would open up to a covered porch.
Beneath the covered porch would be the master suite and storage areas. The detached pool
house would consist of a bedroom and bathroom.

Other site improvements would include a swimming pool and terraced lawn areas in the rear
yard. A retaining wall and vegetative screening would be installed around the perimeter of the
property. Planter boxes and entry columns would be constructed in the front yard of the,
property. The project would also involve the removal of some large Acacia' trees from the
southwest side of the property.
The floor area of the proposed home would be 3,827 square feet, covering approximately 23.5%
of the property. The size of the residence would comply with both the lot coverage and floor
area requirements for this property. No variances are requested or required for the project.
REVIEW BY THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
. .
On January 15, 2004, the Design Review Board reviewed the application and received and
considered public testimony. The Board deliberated on the merits of the project, and discussed
the concerns and accolades that were expressed by the public. Boardmember O'Donnell and
Figour stated, among other things, that that they liked the design of the building, and that there
would not be a significant view impact; therefore Boardmembers O'Donnell and Figour
supported the application. Boardmember Beales stated that he liked the design of the,building,
but felt that the impact to the view from neighboring properties was too significant to approve the
project. Boardmember Beales was riot confident that the applicants had adequately explored
alternatives in the design of the roofline for the building. Chair Teiser initially stated that'minor
alterations could be made to reduce the impact of the roofline, but appeared to be more
amenable to the project as the hearing progressed. The Board SUbsequently voted 3-1 "
(Board member Beales dissenting, one vacancy) to conditionally approve the application. The
deliberations can be more fully reviewed in the Design Review Board minutes (Exhibit #4).
-
BASIS FOR THE APPEAL
,
There are five (5) grounds upon which the appeal (Exhibit #2) is based, which are summarized
as follows:
Ground #1 The Design Review Board failed to address the significant impact on the view of
the San Francisco Bay from the residence at 3 Cazadero Lane. The Bmird did
not give the view from 3 Cazadero Lane the weight and consideration it was due
under Town policies, ordinances and guidelines. The Board did not properly
interpret the masterbedroom as a "primary living area" under the definitions of
the Tiburon View Ordinance.
Staff Response: The Board's discussion focused primarily on the view issue at the meeting on
January 15, 2004. All four Board members recognized the appellants' concern about the
project, and directly addressed the impact to the appellants' view in their deliberations. 'After
this deliberation, the Board determined that the project would not have a significant impact on
the view from 3 Cazadero Lane. The Board made an informed decision on the project.

Town of Tiburon
STAFF REPORT
The Tiburon Zoning Ordinance outlines the purpose and intent of the Site Plan and Architectural
Review Process, and how applications shall be reviewed by the Town. The Ordinance states
that during the review of an application, the acting body shall consider the Guiding Principles in
the Review of Applications (hereafter "Principles") in addition to the Town of Tiburon Design
Guidelines for Hillside Dweilings (hereafter "Guidelines"). According to the Goal 3, Principle 7,
of the Guidelines (Exhibit #6),
View protection is more important for the primary living areas of a dwelling (e.g. living
room, dining room, family room, great room, kitchen, and. decks associated with these
rooms) Than for less actively used areas of a dwelling (e.g. bedroom, bathroom, study,
office, den).
Although the view from the appellants' master bedroom may be dramatic, the Guidelines do not
consider the master bedroom a primary living area, and therefore affords less protection to
views from this room. The Board recognized this fact, as recorded in the minutes for the .
January 15, 2004, Board meeting, and made a decision on the project accordingly.
Appellants cite the definition of "primary living area" in the View and Sunlight Obstruction from
Trees Ordinance (Chapter 15 Tiburon Municipal Code; hereafter "the View Ordinance"). As
stated by the appellants, the View Ordinance defines "primary living area" as "the portion or
portions of a residence from which a view is observed most often by the occupants relative to
other portions of the residence. The determination of primary living area is to be made on a
case-by-case basis." The master bedroom of the appellants could be determined to be a
"primary living area" under this ordinance. However, the View Ordinance does not apply to Site
Plan and Architectural Review. The View Ordinance applies only to view impacts caused by
trees or other vegetation, not by buildings or structures. Accordingly, the definition of "primary
living area" as cited in the View Ordinance is not relevant to this application.
Ground #2 The reasoning of the some of the members of the Board that removing the large
Acacia trees from the southwest side of the property at 4 Cazadero Lane, was
compensation for eliminating the foreground water views from the residence at 3
Cazadero Lane, was erroneous. Faiiure of the prior owners to fulfill their tree
trimming responsibilities should not accrue to the benefit of the subsequent
owner.
Staff Response: The minutes of the January 15, 2004, Board meeting indicate that two of the
four Board members discussed the "trade-off" in respect to views that would occur on the site
with the removal of the large Acacia trees at the southwest side of the property. The Board as a
whole determined that there would not be a significant view blockage as a result of the'
proposed project as a whole.
In this ground for appeal, the appellants apparently refer to the responsibilities of a property
owner to maintain and trim trees as outlined in the View Ordinance. They seem to argue that
the applicant's predecessors should have trimmed the trees earlier, and accordingly the Board
should not have considered any view improvement resulting from the treeS'Temovat. However,
as discussed earlier in this report, the Zoning Ordinance does not provide for the application of

the View Ordinance in Site Plan and Architectural Review. Appellants may believe that they
would have had a valid view restoration claim against the applicants or their predecessor, but
such claims must be presented and processed according to the procedure set forth in the View
Ordinance. There is no means of deciding such claims through Site Plan and Architectural
Review. The View Ordinance is outside the purview of the Board and the Board has no power
to determine whether appellants were entitled to have the trees trimmed or removed. The
Board properly declined to consider any view restorative action that the appellants might have
demanded and instead applied the Guidelines, as mandated by the Zoning Ordinance. The
Board reviewed the project and its view impacts according to the site conditions which existed
immediately prior to the January 15, 2004, Board meeting and determined that the impact on
appellants' views was not significant.
Ground #3 The Design Review Board did not adequately consider the applicant's lack of
responsiveness, consideration and consultation with the appellants during the
house planning process. The appellants have seen no reasonable
accommodation of their view concerns. The applicants are in non-conformance
with both a private view agreement and the Moitoza Subdivision CC&Rs.
Staff Response: In the review of Site Plan and Architectural Review Applications, the Design
Review Board is limited to review the physical aspects of the project as outlined in the Principles .
. and Guidelines. The Zoning Ordinance does not include criteria for the Board to consider the
lack of communication between applicants and aggrieved adjacent property owners.
Any private view agreement and CC&Rs are civil agreements between property owners which
cannot be enforced by the Town and are not typically considered by the Town in the review of
applications. Therefore, the Board did not attempt to enforce these documents in its review of
this application; instead relying on the Town's zoning permit authority to address view blockage
issues.
Ground #4 The applicants gave inadequate consideration to the many viable options that
were suggested by the appellants and members of the Board for the redesign of
the project to eliminate the view blockage. The proposed residence would have
large vaulted ceilings and excessive roof slopes and would be sited at the
highest elevation of the lot, thereby causing view impacts. Modifying one or all of
these elements would not compromise the design or the applicant's reasonable
enjoyment of the proposed residence.
Staff Response: Staff has no information regarding the extent to which the applicants
considered the appellants' suggestions. However, the Board discussed possible design'
alternatives involving the slope of the proposed roofs. Boardmember Beales dissented on the
motion to approve the project on the basis that the roofline adversely impacted views from
nearby properties. Boardmember O'Donnell and Figour expressed that views across the site
would not be significantly impacted by the project as proposed, and that any modification to the
roofline would adversely impact the design and appearance of the proposed dwelling. Based on
this discussion, the Board took action to approve the project as proposed rather than require the .
applicants to explore other alternatives.

Ground #5 The proposed dwelling is inconsistent with the character of the surrounding
neighborhood. The proposed dwelling would have different rooflines than the
predominant pattern on the street. The existing homes on the Cazadero Lane
cul-de-sac are set back or sited down from the street. The cul-de-sac currently
has an open feel, but the proposed dwelling would be crowded along the street.
Staff Response: Neighborhood Character is one of the criteria in the Guiding Principles in the
Review of Applications, attached for reference as (Exhibit #7). The Principles are the basis for
all of the Board's decisions on applications for Site Plan and Architectural Review, and the
Board is well versed in the Principles. The Board considered the evidence before it and
concluded that the project was consistent with the Principles prior to granting project approval.
The development of the five existing residences on Cazadero Lane represents no clear
neighborhood character. It appears that each residence has similarities with at least one other
residence on the street, but there is no overarching commonality in architectural treatment,
height, mass, bulk, or setback from the street. For exa'mple, the residences at 1 and 3
Cazadero Lane are comprised of geometric forms with flat roofs, simple rectangular windows,
wood siding, have two visible stories, and are setback relatively far from the street. The
residences at 1 and 2 Cazadero both have wood siding, and are similar in color. The residences
at 2 and 5 Cazadero Lane have sloped and gabled roofs, exhibit more traditional forms, are built
relatively close to the street, and appear to be one-story structures when viewed from the street
(The residence at 2 Cazadero Lane has two stories but it steps down the slope towards the rear
of the property). ' ,
The proposed residence at 4 Cazadero Lane exhibits many characteristics of the other buildings
on the street, (e.g. traditional forms, sloping/gabled roofs, wood siding, grey body color with
white trim, composition shingle roof, a lower story that steps down the slope towards the rear of
the property, and the building would be sited relatively close to the street). It appears that a
range of architectural treatment, height, size and bulk are exhibited on the street, and the design
of the proposed building falls somewhere in the middle of that established range. For this
reason, it could be found that the proposed project is consistent with the character of the
existing neighborhood.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Chris and Corinne Seton of 1792 Vistazo West Street have submitted a letter in support of the
project. The Seton's state that the applicants were diligent in reviewing the plans with them,
and the house has been designed so as to minimize its impact on the neighborhood.

CONCLUSION
The Design Review Board reviewed and considered the Principles and the Guidelines prior to
approving this project. In addition, the Board followed the application procedures and review
authority of the Board, and determined that the project design as conditioned would not result in
significant view impacts on neighboring residences, and that the design would be compatible
with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.

APPEAL OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DECISION TO APPROVE THE
PLANS FOR A NEW RESIDENCE AT 4 CAZADERO LANE -- Jan. 15,2004
.
r The DRB failed to address the significant view impact from our residence at
3 Cazadero Lane, that the applicant's proposed new residence would have on our
single treasured view of San Francisco Bay and did not give it the weight and
consideration it was due under Town Policies, Ordinances and Guidelines.
2. Under the Tiburon Municipal Code definitions, the single Bay view from our master
bedroom is clearly from a "Primary Living Area". This was not properly interpreted
by the DRB.
3. The reasoning, of some of the members of the Board, that removing the large acacia
trees from the bayside of Lot 8 was compensation for eliminating our close-in water
views, was an erroneous rationale on their part. Failure of the prior owners to fulfill
their tree trimming responsibilities should not accrue to the benefit of the subsequent
owner.
4. Nowhere in the DRB's deliberations is there evidence they considered the fact that
the applicant had shown a lack of responsiveness, consideration and consultation with
us during the house planning despite his representations to the contrary. We have
helped the applicant move the project forward in various ways including research on
utilities and granting permanent access to the property over the private Cazadero Lane
easement at no charge. In return we have seen a breach of trust, no reasonable
accommodation of our view concerns and no sense of basic fairness. The applicant is
in non-conformance with both a private View Agreement and the Moitoza
Subdivision CC&Rs.
.
5. The applicant gave inadequate consideration to the many viable options that were
suggested by us and members of the DRB, for the redesign of the project to eliminate
the view blockage. He has, in fact, proposed a house with large interior vaulted
ceilings and excessive roof slopes and has sited it at the highest elevation of the lot
thereby causing the view impacts. Modifying one or all of these elements would not
compromise the design or the owners' reasonable enjoyment of the proposed
residence.

CLARIFICATION OF THE POINTS OF THE APPEAL
TIBURON VIEW INTERFERENCE POLICIES, ORDINANCES and
GUIDELINES
The majority of the ORB did not critically examine, to the extent it should have, the
proposed residence as to its location, the roofline height and chimney mass and the
design adherence to the Town's policies, ordinances and guidelines (as outlined
below) in relation to the impact on our valued view of San Francisco Bay.
References:
(a) Tiburon General Plan, Policy OSC-3. "Outward Views: Property owners
cherish their views. New structures and associated land\'caping should be so situated
and kept low to avoid inte~ference with existing outlooh. "
(b) Tiburon Zoning Ordinance, Section 4.02.07(b) In reviewing applications... the
acting body shall consider the following principles as they may apply.
Site Layout in Relation to Adjoining Sites. The location of proposed improvements on
the site in relation to the location of improvements on acijoining sites with particular
attention to view considerations... ....
.
Section 4.02.07( c) Neighborhood Character. The height, size and/or bulk of the
proposed project bears a reasonable relationship to the character of existing
buildings in the vicinity. Although the homes of the Moitoza subdivision are a
mixture of one and two storied and are in different styles, none of the roofs are view
blocking for neighbors. Three of the seven have flat roofs and a fourth has a
tnmcated hip roof to allow the single story house behind to enjoy an outward view to
the Bay. The roof of this proposed new residence is excessive in height and bulk and
would block the whole lower central part of our view. . .
The four existing homes on Cazadero are all set back, or back and down from the
cul-de-sac/driveway thus giving the cul-de-sac a nice open feel but the planned house
on Lot 8 is crowded along the whole front side ofthe circle.
Section 4.02.09 In reviewing applications for Site Plan and Architectural Review,
the acting body shall also apply goals and principles ....set forth in Town of Tiburon
Design Guidelinesfor Hillside Dwellings and General Design Guidelinesfor New
Construction and Remodeling.
G2 PI (12) To reduce the general environmental impact (!fnew dwellings in the
neighborhoody. Be a considerate neighbor. The effect of the dwellings on each other
becomes critical... view corridors...property values... must be explored by the newest
house on the block to avoid conflicts with the neighbors.
.
G2 P/3 (26) (I"he) proposed dwelling will have a substantial impact on neighboring
properties: this impact must be minimized in every way reasonably possible.
EXHIBIT NO. 2-
~~lP
G3 PI (27) To Preserve Existing Views as much as possible and allow new dwellings
access to views similar to those allowedfrom existing dwellings. "No single ilem,
wilh regard to his dwelling, is more precious 10 the resident ofTiburon than his
view... " Applicantsflir building permils and neighborhood residents must (if/en
compromise to obtain satisfactory solutions to view blockage problems.
Principle I. ,Locate all new dwellings so they inte~fere minimally wilh views of
adjacent dwellings. "Do not locate dwelling on hif!hest /Joint o/property ifin so
doing iI will obscure view (if another dwelling. Roof line.~ and wall lines should be
considered carefully to avoid problems. "
.
We strongly object to the height and mass of the chimney, the misrepresentation to us
by the applicant as to where the chimney would be located and the unacccptable .
impact on our view. We consider the ORB to be in error in not finding this oversizcd
chimney to be a significant view blockage and not recommending its size reduction.
According to Code. thc fireplace flue height need only exceed the adjacent roof
height by 2ft In light of the view issues, it is incumbent on the applicarit to limit the
flue height accordingly and to eliminate the metal shroud surrounding it.
We have a view of San Francisco Bay from only ONE room and it would be a
travesty for the applicant who has nnimpeded panoramic views from J!!Lparts of
his property, to be permitted to construct a high pitched roofline with oversizc
chimney to impact our single view to the extent that it would.(See Exhibit A)
.
DEFINITIONS ofVlEW and PRIMARY LIVING AREA
R~f Tiburon Municipal Code. Chapter 15: Views and Sunlight
View is defined as "A scene from the primary living area of a residence....
Views include...... bridges, landmarks, distant cities, ...... .and bodies of water."
Primary Livinl! Area: The portion or portions of a residence from which a view is
observed most often by the occupants relative to the other portions of the residence.
The determination of primary living area is to be made on a case-by-case basis.
The view of the waters of Tiburon Cove and San Francisco Bay from our
master bedroom (and the stair, landing) is the view that came with onr home
when we purchased it in 1995, and it is the 0 NL Y view we have of the main
San Francisco Bay. By the definitions above, it is indisputably' a view from a
primary living area.

TREE ISSUES
The rampant growth of black acacia on the Moitoza property has been a thorny problem
for many years. When the big stands in front of the house and along the north -west
property line remained untrimmed even after the house was put on the market, we
advised the Moitoza family that we would be seeking legal help to get a response from
them. A tree company was scheduled to come the following week but the Moitoza family
decided to do the trimming themselves and so the view down to the Corinthian Yacht
Club over the new Perrelli-Winston office addition was restored: They removed several
other big self-sown acacias from the Cazadero side but. evaded the expense of trimming
the bayside clump, knowing that the new owner would be cutting them when construction
began on the property
For one of the DRB members to reason that since the applicant would be returning a view
to us by removing these trees, this would be a reasonable exchange for the view he would
take from us. In other words, we.would be swapping a distant water view that we had
temporarily lost (and which we are entitled to under the M.S..CC&Rs) for a close-in
water view that we currently have.
This is an entirely erroneous argument and there is nothing in the Town regulations
and guidelines that gives the DRB authority or guidance to act in this way. Failure
of the previous owners to carry onttheir tree trimming obligations should not inure
to tbe benefit of the new owner. It is the views of the senior property holder that
should reasonably prevail. (see Ch.15-IA of Tiburon Municipal Code)
We feel this action showed undue bias in favor of the applicant. But, by this very
reasoning, the DRB also highlighted the magnitude of the view impact and since the
tree issue is invalid the applicant should be required to reduce the impact by otber
means.
VIEW CONCERNS, CC&Rs, & VIEW AGREEMENT
Our view concerns about a high ridgeline were expressed early on (see Exhibit B) but no
negotiation or compromise solution was proferred by the applicant.
Although the Town does not enforce CC&Rs and does not take them into account in its
decisions, nevertheless the view provision in the Moitoza Subdivision CC&Rs (see
Exhibit C, section] c) contains language relating to the impingement of views similar to.
that of the Town policies, ordinances and guidelines.
When submitting the' Application for NEW RESIDENCE', JefT and Kari Cusack filled
out the Town ofTiburon form which states .......(we) hereby affirm that (we)....have read
any and all Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and other documents
recorded against (our) property which could affect this application and that the prepared
plans conform to said CC&Rs and documents.
EXHIBIT NO. 2-
15~tO
1l1e applicant is in non-compliance with the view provision of the CC&Rs.
We consider this a serious breach.
.
The View Agreement signed Oct. 15,2003 , requires the applicant(s) to use their good
faith efforts to design and construct a new dwelling so as to minimize the impingement
on the present views we have of San Francisco Bay. (Exhibit D)
This agreement ha~ heen breached since the view from our bedroom ha~ been "materially
altered" by the proposed residence.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In view of (a) the several deficiencies in the Design Rcview Board's deliberations and
conclusions as to the mab'TIitude of our view impairment and (b) the failure of the
applicant to reasonably abide by the Town's relevant policies, ordinances and guidelines,
it is requested that the appeal be upheld.
The applicant should be required to lower the highest central ridge a minimum of two
feet and the roofs of the den and family room by three and a half feet to reinstate the
views from our residence.

exciting home on your property.
However, from what we could glean from your conceptual
development plans our guess .is that our views would be
much more affected than both of your other Cazadero
neighbors.
You will remember we both expressed our concern at
your envisaged roof line as we looked over your. plans
.on July 13th and losing potentially 30-40 .percent of
one's bay and harbor v~ew is not an ~nsign~ficant
impact. Have you corisidered the possib~lity of a
truncated hip roof like the Dicks?
When you.come back into town we 'would. appreciate the
opportunity of going over your plans again and any
modifications and additions including the location of
the master suite. .

PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
Town Planning Division Staff has made a preliminary determination that this proposal would be
exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified in
Section 15303. .
PROPOSAL:
The applicant has submitted a request to construct a new single-family dwelling located at 4
Cazadero Lane. The property is located at the end of the Cazadero Lane cul-de-sac. The
existing residence was formerly referred to as 251 Moitoza Lane, but the proposed residence
would have access from Cazadero Lane. The existing house and accessory structure would be
demolished. The proposed home would be a two-level structure, with a pool and detached pool
house in the rear yard. The majority of the home would be constructed at street level, and
would consist of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, family room, dining room. living room,.

kitchen, laundry room, and a two car garage. At the rear of the residence, the living room would
open up to covered porch. Beneath the covered porch would be the master suite and storage
areas. The detached pool house would consist of a bedroom and bathroom.
Other site improvements would include a swimming pool and terraced lawn areas in the rear
yard. A retaining wall and vegetative screening would be installed around the perimeter of the
property. Planter boxes and entry columns would be constructed in the front yard of the
property.
The floor area of the proposed home is 3.827 square feet, and covers approximately 23.5% of
the property. The size of the residence complies with both the lot coverage and floor area
requirements.
ANALYSIS:
Zoning
As proposed, the project appears to be in conformance with the development regulations of the
R-1 zoning district. .
Design issues
The design of the proposed home would be a combination of dutch-colonial style and craftsman
style. The siding would be comprised of wood shingles, and the windows columns and trim
would also be comprised of wood. The front elevation would feature a bay window off of the
kitchen with a gambrel roof above. This feature coupled with the barn garage doors adds to the
dutch-colonial style. Porches would be constructed at the front entrance, at the pedestrian
entrance to the garage and at the rear of the residence. Small gabled roofs and eyebrow
windows would add architectural interest to the elevation of the home. The color of the
residence would be grey wood siding with white trim. The roof would be dark grey composition
shingle. A colors and materials board will be available for review at the Board meeting.
.
The home has been designed with a sprawling floor plan, apparently to keep the height of the
structure as low as possible. This is important because there are other homes on Cazadero
Lane which have views across the subject site. Although it doesn't appear that any significant
views would be blocked, some portions of water view may be obscured from 1, 3, and 5
Cazadero Lane.
The landscaping plan would indicate that much of the existing vegetation on the. site would be
removed. Most notable is the dense acacia shrubs in the area of the proposed garage, and the
two 19" DBH trees at the south west corner of the property.
New vegetation would be planted throughout the site. Most notable are a 24" box oak tree
behind the proposed garage and five 24" box trees (species to be determined) would be planted
along Cazadero Lane. An existing significant oak tree adjacent to the proposed pool house .
would be retained. ~

Public Comment
Patricia Montaog, 7 Raccoon Lane, has submitted a letter stating that there is a concern with
the potential noise from the proposed swimming pool. Ms. Montag's property is below the
subject parcel, and without a sound barrier between the properties, the potential noise could be
excessive. In addition, Ms. Montag suggests that Moitoza Lane should not be used during the
construction process because of lack of integrity of the road and the hillside below.
RECOMMENDA nON:
. It is recommended that the Board review this project with respect to Zoning Ordinance Section
4.02.07 (Guiding Principles for Design Review) and determine that the project is exempt from
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified in Section
15303. If the Board finds that the design of the project is consistent with the Guiding Principles
for Site Plan and Architectural Review, then it is recommended that the project be approved with
the attached Conditions of Approval.

CUSACK, NEW DWELLING
The applicant has submitted a request to construct a new single-family dwelling located at 4 .
Cazadero Lane. The property is located at the end of the Cazadero Lane cuI-dc-sac. The
existing residence wa~ formerly referred to as 251 Moitoza Lane, but the proposed residence
would have access from Cazadero Lane. The existing house and accessory structure would
he demolished. The proposed home would be a two-level structure, with a pool and dctached
pool house in the rear yard. The majority of the home would be constructed at street level
and would consist of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, family room. dining room living
room, kitchen, laundry room and a two-car garage. At the rear of the residence, the living
room would open up to a covcred porch. Beneath the covered porch would be the mastcr
suite and storage areas. The detached po.olhousc would consist of a bedroom and bathroom.
Jeff Cusack, owner, discussed the application. He stated loss ofvicw and view corridors of3 .
Cazadero Lane were addressed. The b'Teen belt will be established and maintained. Trimmed
trees will increase views.
David Holscher, architect, discussed the project.
Boardmember Beales stated it appears that the proposed roof would have a 8:] 2 pitch.
Mr. Holscher responded that some portions of the roof would be 7.5:12 and some would be
3:] 2, but that the major portions would be 3.5: 12. He added that a story pole was recently
install cd for the chimney, at the request of the neighbors.
.
David Schwartz, landscape architect, statcd there will landscaping screening on the north.
He said that the b'Teen belt would consist of acacia or myoporum, of which the neighbors are
deciding, or some existing hedge will remain within the eight-foot setback line. He said that
10W-b'Towing shrubs to be planted would prcserve the view to the Corinthian Yacht Club.
Boardmembcr Bealcs asked if a baffle wall will be needed for the noise from thc pool area.
Mr. Schwartz stated noise does not bend over the hill, so a wall would not be needed for the
downhill neighbors.
Boardmember O'Donnell asked about the two acacia trees in the back yard. Mr. Schwartz
responded that removing them would expand the neighbor's and applicant's views.
Chair Teiser noted that some oflctters reccivcd on this application regarded building permit
issues, which this Board does not address.
William Luken, 160 Las Lomas Lane, president of Lyford Cove Homeowners Association,
stated that the property ahuts Moitoza Lane and he requested that with any approval a
condition he placed that ifthere is disruption to the path, the path be restored. Hc fclt that
therc should be appropriate drainage improvements planned at this stage.

Helen Lindqvist, 3 Cazadero Lane, stated that there height restrictions were placed on the
three previously-developed lots on Cazadero Lane, and the proposed house's height should
be similarly restricted. She said that the proposed roof line would block her views. She
stated that she would like the roofline to be lowered, the whole structure sunk down on the
site, or the building moved down the lot.
Bill Lindqvist, 3 cazadero Lane, stated he initially suggested a truncated hip roof and the
applicant appeared to be open to the suggestions of the neighbors at the beginning of the
project. He noted that the neighbors approved an access easement to Cazadero Lane for this
property. He felt that the ridgeline and chimney would be obtrusive and that the applicant
did not address their concerns: He stated that a large portion of his close-in water views
would be blocked. He felt that the proposed chirrmey was too large and in an inappropriate
location. He stated that the view blockage would cause a serious loss of enjoyment of his
home and loss of property value. He stated that the view interference would be unreasonable
and. substantial. He did not believe that the applicants had made a good faith effort to prevent
impingement on his views. He asked that the Board not approve the project so the architect
can reduce the height of the roofline and the mass of the chimney.
Molly Dick, 5 cazadero Lane, stated that the proposed plans have merit and the house would
enhance the other homes on this cul-de-sac. Her concerns include the view of the bay and
the unimpeded view of the mature greenery to the bay. She stated that the applicant and the
landscape architect had agreed to maintain the greenbelt; however, she would like to know
the how this would be maintained and what would be done to replace any vegetation that
may be damaged during construction. She wanted to ensure that mature vegetation would
screen the proposed h()me. She stated that she appreciated the removal of the cupola from
the originally proposed plans. She said that she respects the Lindqvists' concerns.
Libby Winston, 2 Cazadero Lane, stated that if the house were moved down the grade and
further out on the hill, the privacy of her office and living room would be impacted, and if the
house were built tall enough, would look into her master bedroom and bathroom. She noted
that the roof pitch of her home is the same as that of the proposed house.
John Russo, ] 05 Rock Hill Drive, stated the applicants would be good neighbors and arc
trying to do their best.
Lou Perelli, 2 Cazadero Lane, discussed the process and noted that the applicant had initial1y
asked about his concerns. He said that issues of egress, ingress, views and the overall desib'Tl
of the home were considered in light of the neighborhood. He noted that this lot was not a
part of the Cazadero Lane subdivision. He said that he appreciates the neighbors' concerns,
but that an outside developer could have come in with a much worse design.
Raj Pherwani, 1762 Vistazo West Street, stated that his view issues are not significant. He
was concerned that the story poles do not appear to match the submitted plans. He asked that
the chimney desib'TI be softened.

Chris Seton, 1792 Vistazo West Street, stated that the proposed design is appropriatc, and
that a developer could have huilt an ugly building on the site. He said that he would look

Mr. Holscher stated that he would take care of drainage and path issues. He noted that the
chimney is becoming an issue, however, he felt that it would be very small. He felt that the
chimney would frame the new views across the site. He noted that one tape connecting the
story poles was installed incorrectly; the tape was fllUr inches too high, but wa<;then installed
at the correct location.
Boardmember O'Donnell stated this comes down to an issue of views, not architectural style.
He commended the applicants on working with the neighbors and addressing their concerns.
He said that it would be a major benefit to removc the two acacia trees. He stated that the
path disruption/reconstruction and drainage would be handled by the Town Building
Division. He acknowledged that Ms. Dick would like to keep the b'feenbelt, but stated that
this is an overgrown property and the applicants are making b'feat efforts to maximize views.
He stated that the big objection is from the Lindqvists, including potential blockage of their
water view of the Corinthian Yacht Club. He said that there would be a two to three foot
view blockage caused by the house, but the acacia trees would come down; on balance, he
said that there would not be a significant impact to their property. He said that he could
completely support the project.
Boardmember Beales stated that the Lindqvists' view is not the type of view that would
usually be most protected, however, it is their only view. He said that the main rooflinc of .
the house would have an 8:12 pitch, and there has becn no explanation as to why it is so high.
He felt that the nearest water view ofthe Lindqvists would be impacted. He thought that the
project would still be a good design with a lowered roofline. He noted that the floor area is at
the floor area ratio for the property, and a 400-square-foot storage room is not included in
that total because of the ceiling height. He stated that there have been too many instances in
which people have returned to the Board to request converting storage space to living space.
He stated that ifthe applicant ever returns with a floor area exception to expand this to
habitable space, he would vote against it.
Boardmember Figour stated that even in Tiburon, residents must anticipate that views will
change, with trees growing and houses built. He said that the roofis nice looking and lot of
people look down on it, and tweaking it into a flat roof with a hip around it would result in an
ugly roof for those who look down on it. He said that he sympathizes with anyone losing any
view, but noted that by ordinance there could be a 30-foot-tall house on this lot. He thought
that this may be the best that could occur on this site, and felt that the criticism perhaps
should be minimal. He felt that the chimney would bc a little large. He said that the 'removal
of the black acacias would produce a net gain in view fllr the Lindqvists, and would make
their view spectacular. He felt that the applicant has made compromises to his view, as the
house would not be high off the ground and would not have the views that could be afforded
on the sitc. He supported the project.

Chair Teiser stated that the chimney would stick up, though perhaps not as much as
represented by the plans. He thought that a slightly lower roof pitch could be accommodated
without drastically changing the design features of the house and this would lower the height
of the chimney. Regarding the pool location, he said that noise usually goes up and not
down, and there would be more concern for those living above than below.
Boardmember O'Donnell added that when walking on the site, he felt the house at One
Cazadero Lane would be most affected. He said that the owner of that house recol,'TIizcs the
potential view impacts that would be caused by the house, but is happy with the opening of
other views with the removal of the trees. He felt that, on balance, the applicants have done
an admirable job in the design of the project. .
Boardmember Figour stated that he also spoke with the owner of One Cazadero Lane who
knew that this would bea tradeoff and is happy with this.
Mr. Holscher stated he worked hard to make the house what it is and he cannot comment on
lowering the pitch. He said that there was a lot of balancing done to make this project work.
Boardmember O'Donnell stated the roof as proposed would be far more attractive than a flat
roof. He felt that the architect has done a commendable job with the roof with its different
heights and different gables.
Boardmember Beales stated that there is room to investigate the issue of the roofline, and that
there are opportunities that have not been investigated. He said that he likes the overall .
desib'TI of the house, and could approve of the roofline if it had no impact. He would like to
see further study to see structurally why a lower roofline would riot work. He said that the
profile of the chimney could be reduced, and that seeing the chimney near the tree would be
better than placing it in the middle of the view.
Associate Planner Lynch noted that there are issues about the maintenance of Moitoza and
Cazadero Lanes that would normally be addressed during the building permit process;
however, in this case both are private streets. Staff recommended adding two conditions of
approval to this application: (1) that a preconstrUction meeting be held between the architect
and Town officials to work out drainage issues, construction staging areas and issues with
construction; and (2) that a pre-construction video record be made of Moitoza Lane and the
cul-de-sac.
Mr. Cusack noted there is an ab'feement that requires that he pay for any damage to Cazadero
Lane caused by the construction.
MIS, O'DonDelllFigour (passed 3-1, Beales dissenting), to determine that the project is
categorically exempt from the provisions of cEQA and approve the application sub.iect
to the conditions of approval as set forth in the Staff report, suhject to additional
conditions of approval requiring a preconstruction meeting with the architeet and.
Town officials regarding drainage and construction issues, and that a pre-construction
video record he made of Moitoza Lane.

4.02.07. Guiding Principles in the Review of Applications.
Tn reviewing applications for Site Plan.& Architcctural Review, the acting body shall consider the
following principles as they may apply:
(a) Site Plan Adequacy. Properrelation of a project to its' site, including that it promotes
orderly development of the community, provides safe and reasonable access, and will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare.
(b) Site Layout in Relation to Adjoining Sites. The location of proposed improvements
on the site in relation to the location of improvements on adjoining sites, with
particular attention to view considerations, privacy, adequacy of light and air, and
topographic or other constraints on development. imposed by particular site
conditions;
(c) NeighborhoodCharacter. The height, size, and/or bulk of the proposed project bcar
a reasonable relationship to the character of existing buildings in the vicinity. A good
relationship' of a building to its surroundings is important. For example, in
neighborhoods consisting primarily of one-story homes, second-story additions shall
be discouraged, or permitted with increa~ed setbacks or other desib'TI features to
. minimize the intrusion on the neighborhood.

.
(d) Floor Area Ratio. The relationship between the size and scale of improvements and
the size of the property on which the improvements are proposed. This concept is
known a<; "floor area ratio" (see Section 4.02.08 below).
(e) Grading & Tree Removal. The extent to which the site plan reasonably minimizes
grading and/or removal of trees, significant vegetation, or othcrnatural features of the
site such as rock outcroppings or watercourses.
(f) Compatibility of Architectural Style and Exterior Finish. The architectural style and
exterior finish are harmonious with existing development in the vicinity and will not
be in stark contrast with its surroundings.
(g)
(h)
Landscaping. Proposed landscaping, insofar as it is used appropriately to prevent
erosion; to protect the privacy of adjoining sites; and to mitigate the visual and noise
impacts of the proposed development. Applicants are encouraged to use native and
drought-resistant landscaping. . Proposed landscaping shall he used which will at
maturity minimize primary view obstruction from other buildings. A cash deposit or
other monetary security may be required to ensure the installation and/or maintenance
for a one year period of any and all landscaping.
.
Lighting. Proposed lighting, insofar a~ it should not invade the privacy of other
properties, or produce glare or light pollution; yet provide adequate illumination for
safety andsecurity purposes. The acting body may impose a condition that f(lllowing
issuance of a.certificate of occupancy or final buildinginspection, all exterior lighting
shall be subject to a 3D-day light level reviewby the Planning Department 10 ensure
conformance with this guideline.
(i) . Overall Propertylmprovement. In order to allow the gradual upgrading of existing
development it may be required that improvements to existing buildings and the site
, as a whole be made. The review of applications for additions or modifications to
existing development may include conditions requiring changes and/or modifications
to existing buildings and site improvements for the entire property.
(j) Appropriate Use o.f'Building Envelope. In Planned Residential (RPD and RMP)
zones, building envelopes are generally intended to provide a larger-than-needed area
for flexibility in the appropriate siting of a main structure and its accessory structures.
The building envelope should not be interpreted as an area intended 10 be "filled" by
a main structure and its accessory structures.

We write to express our wholehearted support for the Cusack's proposed new home at 4
Cazadero Lane. Their property is adjacent to our property at 1792 Vistazo West Street, and we
have a full view oftheir Drooert".
Ever since we purchascd our home, the existing buildings on the 4 Cazadero site have been
abandoned and run down. Similarly the foliage has grown wild with no noticeable cvidcnce of
care, We welcome the building of a new home on the property, particularly one that is as
aesthetically pleasing as the Cusacks propose.
Very early in the process, the Cusacks personally came to our home and speni several hours
reviewing the plans with us. We were impressed that they went to such f,'I"eatlengths to keep us
informed even though their proposed home was going to have little lmpact on us as our property
is much higher on the hillside (we look straight over their roofline). They told us that they had
already had similar meetings with all their Cazadero neighbors as well.
In reVIewing their plans it was abundantly clear that their proposed home was thoughtfully.
designed to address the neighbors' major issues with regard to their views. We have seen the
Cusacks demonstrate a considerable amount of flexibility and accommodation in this process.
Accordingly, we were not surpnsed when the Design Review Board approved this project at its
first meeting.
We understand that one neighbor is now suggesting that the Cusacks alter the plans so that the top
of the house has a flat f,'Tavel roof. As it is, we already have a full view of three houses with flat
gravel roofs. This is a truly ugly sea of gravel, and we would strenously object to looking at
more of this on the Cusack's house. We are delighted by the existing plans and believe that the
existing roofline is "easy on the eye"..
We would be at this Town Council mecting to express our support in person, however Chris will
be in New Zealand and I will be attending a Reed School Financial StrategIes Committee
meeting. Please know that we are 100% supportive of the Cusack's proposed home, and we
respectfully encourage you allow it to proceed unchanged.
