My interest in this Board goes back to 1976, when I first moved to Tiburon. As a practicing Architect, planning, landscape and lighting designer, I believe I can contribute certain practical and aesthetic judgement to the Board. I feel that my previous membership on the board (1978-81) was a rewarding experience for me, and I that I helped to bring some organization to the DRB process at that time. In the intervening fourteen years, I have had a chance to observe the impact of a large number of new home~ being constructed in Tiburon. I feel that I might again be able to bring to the DRB some experience and understanding of the design and building process, and its visual impact on our community. I would like to have the opportunity to contribute again ~ S.in re~IY' ~ ~-- -- . r::s. Malott - Ilo;-,n nervI,.O!}!) IIIC[gY\~.\y ='111.1. \'.\.LI.C~'.

Discussion: At the regular Council meeting of September 6, 1995 Town Council conducted public hearings concerning the "Hilarita Request for Additional Preservation Funding." Council received a Staff Report concerning the agenda item, and representatives of the Tiburon Ecumenical Association-Hilarita Project _ Carolyn Attkisson, Richard Mandel and Katrina Bergen - were present and provided further comments and clarification concerning the status of the project and reasons for requesting financial assistance from the Town. In Fiscal Year 1994 the Town Redevelopment Agency agreed to provide up to $165,000 for the Preservation efforts. The initial phase of the project has been completed - the Project used about $65,000, repaid approximately $58,000, the unpaid amount being $7,000. The Project now requires $15,000 for predevelopment costs and $308,000 for unfunded building rehabilitation costs. Council approved appropriating the amount required to fund the predevelopment costs ($15,000), and $143,000 to fund a share of the unfunded building rehabilitation costs. Recommendations: 1. Town Council (the Board of Directors) approve a total appropriation of$158,000 from the Agency Housing Fund for Hilarita Preservation Project predevclopment and building rehabilitation costs. The revised unreserved amount available in the Housing Fund is now $92,000 - 685,000 is currently reserved for the Cecilia Project. Exhibits: I. Staff Report, September 6, 1995, Item 7. TOWN OF TIBURON STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 1 To: From: Subject: Date: TOWN COUNCIL TOWN MANAGER HILARIT A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL PRESER V A TION FUNDING September 6, 1995 The Hilarita's preservation phase has successfully been concluded with the recent purchase of the Hilarita by the Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association. However, one of the requirements of the HUD-approved sale requires the buildings to be rehabilitated to ensure long- term viability and provide tenant safety. Although HUD requires the building rehabilitation, they do not provide sufficient funds for the work. The Federal government has appropriated $1.7 million for the rehabilitation phase which leaves a significant shortfall. The Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association is therefore asking the Town to consider granting them rehabilitation funding assistance in addition to the original preservation funding previously granted by the Town. The Town allocated an initial pre-acquisition loan to the Hilarita for preservation purposes in the amount of$165,000. Of this amount, the Hilarita only drew down $65,600 of which they have repaid all but $7,000. They are planning to utilize an additional $15,000 for future predevelopment costs and inspections. In summary, the Hilarita will have utilized a total of$22,000 from the original Town-authorized $165,000. They are now requesting to use the balance of the initial Town allocation ($143,000), plus $165,00 for an overall supplemental funding request of $308,000 for the rehabilitation work. The Town has been very supportive of the Hilarita, both politically and financially, and certainly wants to continue to be of assistance. However, the requested amount from the Town's restricted affordable housing funds represents a significant allocation. It could impact the Senior Housing Advisory Committee's efforts and the long-range financing plans for the new Police facilities and Senior Housing project. I have advised Carolyn Attkisson, President of the Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association, of these preliminary concerns and that the Association's request will be scheduled for consideration by the Town Council at its regular September 6 meeting. Time is of the essence regarding this request, as HUD requires the rehabilitation work to be commenced and completed in a timely manner The Hilarita-Tiburon Ecumenical Association TOWN COUNCIL Page 2 September 6, 1995 has also indicated that they are very appreciative of the Town's continued support and past financial assistance. Copies of the Hilarita-Tiburon Ecumenical Association's request to the Town have been forwarded to the Town's Housing Committee, BAC and SHAC. It should also be noted that the original request of$375,472 (August 22) has been reduced to $308,000 (August 31). EXHIBITS I.

Kleinert Victoria Arnett Heritage & Arts Projects Update September 12, 1995 Donahue Buildinq Reqistry The letter from the Office for Historic Preservation confirming the placement of the Donahue Building on the National Register has arrived. I would like an opportunity to appear before the Town Council at their next meeting to make the official presentation of historic registry to the Town. Meanwhile you had suggested that when making the announcement of historic registry, it would also be a good time to announce plans for a celebration commemorating its placement. However, both Roger Felton and Beverly Bastian wish to wait until next spring to talk dates for the dedication party. Downtown Historic Preservation Plan We are proceeding to develop an historic preservation plan for the downtown area. The ADA does ameliorate regulations for the handicapped within an historic preservation area. There is a specific chapter in the AD.A regulations concerning historic preservation I am looking into the Town of Tiburon becoming a "Certified Local Government of the Office of Historic Preservation". Receipt of this certificate would entitle the town to grant monies to assist in the preservation effort. It would also provide Federal tax relief for owners of historic properties I plan to get direction from Scott Anderson and the Planning Commission as well as from the attorney on this whole project.

At tonight's Town Council meeting, it is intended for the following to occur: I. Chairman Wilson will update the Council regarding the committee's activities and future program, and 2.

RECOMMENDATION That the Town Council consider the forthcoming public review process associated with the new downtown Town facilities design and determine what would be the most productive procedure for obtaining the public's input.

Town Engineer Mohammadi presented a preliminary bid by Ghilotti Brothers for the street-raising work, and told Council that his original estimate of $150-175,000 for the entire project still stood. He asked for direction fi'om Council on how to proceed. Tom Frankovich, Attorney for plaintiffs, said that 11 businesses on Main Street needed changes but that not all of them would require handrails (e.g. Purdy). He said that Town would need to decide whether to grant variances to individual property owners to do the work, such as raise sidewalks in order to install ramps. Councilmember Ginalski suggested getting all the property owners and the Town together to decide what was acceptable. He said this was the first time he had heard that the property owners expected the Town to foot part of the bill for (the street- raising) project. Mayor Thompson opened the public hearing Klaus Meinberg, 35 Main Strcet, Owncr of Sweden House Bakery, said since the TOWN COUNCIL MINlJTr:s # I (}(>., SI '1''11 'Mlll'lU,. 1995 4 property owners were being forced to do something, why not take the opportunity to improve the street, such as raise it, make it one-way or limit traffic. He said that ramps and hand rails would kill business and force even more people into the street, creating more safety problems. He told Council that the Town should get involved with the project because "Main Street is your Town." Town Attorney Sharp said he was apprehensive about the Town creating the overall plan which could turn it into a public project with legal ramifications. Hearing returned to Council. Councilmember Nygren said that previous Councils had voted against one-way streets, and that Sia's project was nice but that bricks would make Main Street look like Disneyland. She suggested that the downtown business owners and merchants chip in to cover the changes and use Chamber of Commerce benefits for additional sources of funding. Council member Wolf said she would like to hear from Town Attorney Sharp after he had reviewed materials from Frankovich. Council member Ginalski suggested that the business owners come to the Town with a proposal. Council directed Town staff to turn over project information to the business community. Mayor Thompson asked Mr. Frankovich to work with the business owners to help them resolve the problem. Frankovich said Town Engineer Mohammadi's plan was a good one and he would talk to the property owners and inform the Court of the progress to date. II. Town ofTiburon 1995 Goals Calendar. Council member Nygren thanked the Management of the Town for their work to date. 12. Parks & Open Space Commission - Exploratory Dig and Coastal Clean-Up.

Council member Wolfsaid she would like to survey the community and find out what was wanted in the Flood Plain with regard to the new LibraryITown Hall construction. Council member Nygren expressed concern about sending out a newsletter two weeks before the election. Mayor Thompson said it was an abuse of the newsletter to advance any political agenda.

The Public Services subcommittee met on August 29, 1995, and came to recommend that the use of leaf blowers in residential areas be restricted to the hours of operation specified for heavy construction equipment, with additional hours provided on Saturday. The allowed hours as proposed by the Public Services subcommittee would be 8 AM. to 4 P.M. Monday through Friday, and 9:30 AM. to 4 P.M. on Saturdays. ANALYSIS Planning Department Staff believes that any leaf blower regulations adopted by the Town should be simple and easy to enforce. Any such ordinance should 1) Not involve decibel meters; and 2) Not require a permit process. The simple regulation of hours proposed by the Public Services subcommittee would meet these criteria. RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Council consider adoption of the draft Ordinance as recommended by the Public Services subcommittee. EXHIBITS I.

(DRAFT) AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF TmURON ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 30 TO THE TmURON MUNICIPAL CODE RESTRICTING THE USE OF GAS-POWERED LEAF BLOWERS SECTION 1. ADOPTION. The Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does hereby ordain that Chapter 30 shall be added to the Tiburon Town Code as follows: Chapter 30. Gas Powered Leaf Blowers Sections: 30-1 30-2 30-3 30-4 30-5 Title Purpose and Intent Definitions Restricted Uses: Time of Day, Days of Week Enforcement and Violations Section 30-1 Ii1Il: This Ordinance shall be known as the "Town of Tiburon Leaf Blower Ordinance" and may be so cited. Section 30-2 Purpose and Intent The purpose of this section is to regulate the use of gasoline powered leaf blowers within residential areas of the community, so as to prevent the unreasonable and continuous disruption of households due to leaf blower noise and the devices' ability to broadcast dust and other airborne pollutants into the air and onto nearby properties. This section also seeks to allow residential property owners (or their employees, agents or contractors) to maintain the appearance and condition of their properties using gas- powered leatblowers on certain days and at certain times. Tiburon Town Council Leaf Blower Ordinance (draft) 9/20/95 1 Residential areas are being distinguished from other areas of the Town because of the special maintenance needs for commercial and other public areas, and the particular sensitivity of residential uses to the impacts and effects resulting from the use of gas- powered leaf blowers. Section 30-3 Definitions Gas-powered leaf blower- A gas powered leaf blower is defined as any leafblower directly powered by an internal combustion or rotary engine using gasoline, alcohol or other liquid or gaseous fuel. Electrically powered leafblowers are not included in this defmition. Residential area- Any parcel of land where the primary use of the property is for residential purposes (such as a single family residence, duplex, apartment building, or other fonn of residential structure).

This ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon on , 1995, and was adopted at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon on , by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: COUNCILMEMBERS: COUNCILMEMBERS: ANDREW THOMPSON, MAYOR Town of Tiburon ATTEST: DIANE CRANE, TOWN CLERK Tiburon Town Council Leaf Blower Ordinance (drnft) 9/20/95 3 - ., h M. Sr. h '(d.' II' team treet property owners mlg t were consl enng msta mg ra changing the sidewalks, raising the street or closing it to traffic in order to c ADA requirements. During public hearing, Carolyn Garrity, 283 Karen Way, suggested other solul1 such as access through back doors, and cited her experience working on 201 Califor Street in San Francisco. Thomas Frankovich, attorney for Partick Conley and Don Sticle, two of the defendants suing the Main Street property owners, said that the litigation arose out of people coming into Tiburon on the ferry and finding 50% of the businesses on Main Street inaccessible. He said they would work with the businesses to make them accessible, and proposed raising the sidewalk on the West side of Main Street next to Westerly Teas and stepping it down gradually two inches; raising the sidewalk on the East side of Main Street by six inches all from Thai Family Restaurant all the way to Tommy's. He said the code did not require hand rails but that it was not a bad idea to install one in front of Silk & Satin, and Thai Family. Mr. Frankovich said the City had a duty to comply with Title 2 to make reasonable accommodation as a public entity. Hearing returned to Council. Mayor Thompson suggested creating a subcommittee to work with the merchants to resolve the issue. Council member Nygren said that Council should first deliberate about the options, and questioned whether it was a good idea to close Main Street. Mayor Thompson and Councilmember Thayer concurred about not closing the street. Town Manager Kleinert said he was encouraged by attorney Frankovich's remarks and would pass on the suggestions and ideas to the property owners through the Chamber of Commerce. Attorney Frankovich said the case would be heard in Federal Court and would probably go to trial in January (1996). F. PUBLIC HEARING 10. LEAF BLOWER ORDINANCE. Councilmember Thayer suggested amending the ordinance to allow the use of leaf blowers on Saturdays. Councilmember Nygren moved to read the Ordinance by Title Only, seconded by Thayer. All aycs were recorded. Mayor Thompson read, "An Ordinance of the Town of Tiburon Adding a New Chapter 30 to the Tiburon Municipal Code Rclating to the Restrictcd Use of Gas- Powered Leaf Blowers," and to include the Saturday amcndment.

Councilmember Wolf said she thought the ordinance as drafted was almost meaningless and asked that it be sent to the Planning Commission for their review. She suggested that the Commission develop a proposal similar to Ross' ordinance which limits the use of gas leaf blowers. Council member Thayer concurred. Mayor Thompson opened the public hearing. George Landau, 82 Sugarloaf, said that leaf blowers were loud and saw no reason for their existence. He thought Belvedere had the right idea in banning (gas) leaf blowers. Joe Keller, 699 Hilary Drive, concurred. Hearing returned to Council. MOTION: To remand the ordinance to the Planning Commission to develop a new ordinance in the direction of Ross' ordinance.

Council member Thayer said he thought it was an appropriate step. Council directed Town stafTto write a letter to the State. G.

Suzanne Sack, 4 Paseo Mirasol, said she would like to see the development done properly. Hearing returned to Council. Councilmember Thayer and Ginalski thought there had been clear violations of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan and asked the Town Attorney to look into the suggested increase to the tree replacement ratio and bonding issues. Council member Wolf stated she did not agree with the idea of a citizen oversight committee or bond, and said it was not clear that there were violations. She said a letter of guarantee would be sufficient (in lieu of a bond). Mayor Thompson said it was not clearly identified what had been violated or what had not, but he concurred with the recommendation of a public review process recommended by staff He also said he liked the idea of a citizen liaison committee and went along with the idea of a bond. MOTION: To adopt Staff recommendations; Town attorney to determine replacement ratios; Notice hearing for damage to Heritage Oak; Bond issue to return to Council. Moved: Vote: Ginalski, Seconded by Thayer. AYES: Unanimous Town Manager Kleinert commented that he thought Staff had done an excellent job montoring what was obviously a very sensitive project. He suggested that the Council consider hiring a full- time monitor for future development projects. Planning Director Anderson said that the developer would pay for the monitor in the Harroman project. 9. Restrictions on Leaf Blowers. Associate Planner Catron presented newly written Ordinance limiting leaf blower use to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and recommended exempting the Town's Public Works Department, the Tiburon Peninsula Club and other special applications, and prohibiting use on holidays. George Landau, 82 Sugarloaf, and Joe Keller, Tiburon Resident, continued to call for a complete ban during public hearing. Barbara Matthews, Manager ofTPC, said the club needed leaf blowers to c1car the tennis courts and wanted a more flexible usage schedule. Tony Iacopi, Superintendent of Public Works, said the bike path could not be kept as clean with brooms and prcsented potential liability issues tor the Town. TOWN COUt"\CIL l\lINUTES 111060 August 2, 1995 4 r- L l Doug Kelley, 188 Lyford Drive, said the noise was excessive for people working at home and preferred a complete ban. He favored exempting Public Works. Hearing returned to Council. Councilmember Wolf recommended a complete ban with an exemption for property owners of one acre or more. Councilmember Thayer said the ordinance did not cure the problem of other noisy equipment, such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc. Council member Nygren said the ordinance was an example of overregulation. Councilmember Ginalski recommended some sort of hardship permit to deal with the exemption issue. A motion was made by Mayor Thompson and seconded by Council member Thayer, to adopt the ordinance, limiting use within "residential" areas only. Motion failed with noes from Ginalski, Nygren and Wolf Town Manager Kleinert suggested referring the ordinance to the Public Services Committee for further work. Motion was made and passed unanimously. I I. Mill Valley Refuse Franchise Agreement. Town staff recommended a la-year extension. Attorney AI Bianchi, representing MVRS, said the company had asked for an extension to 2015 in order to amortize equipment costs and plan for capital improvements. He said other Marin cities had 15 and 20-year contracts. He said the Town had received excellent service and cooperation from the company and that they would work together to meet and maintain the goals set by AB939. He assured Council that the Town would have a "favored-nation" clause ifit was the first to sign the renewal before the other cities (Belvedere and Mill Valley). Council continued item until first meeting in September with prior review by the Public Services Committee. 13. Red & White Ferrv Service to Candlestick Park. Councilmember Ginalski expressed concern about potential parking problems for such an event or service. Terry Koenig, Red & White Fleet, said that 75% of the tickets had been purchased by Tiburon Peninsula residents. Council continued item to next meeting to see if there were any problems on August 6. 12. Downtown Main Street ADA Compliance. Town Engineer Mohammadi showed drawing of potential solution which would require raising t-.lain Street and resurfacing the sidewalks, the cost of which could be shared by the property owners. During public hearing, Tom Purdy, 19 Main Street, said it would be cheaper for him to install two ramps with railings and that he had submitted plans to the l3uilding Department. Attorney Frankovich, reprcscnting plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said he thought thc Town Enginecr's drawing looked acceptable. Hc also said that II cntranccs ncedcd to be made acccssible.

Kleinert, Town Mgr. Town of Tiburon 1155 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon 94920 Dear Bob: Re: Gas Powered Leaf Blowers 1. Because of the very loud noises and pollutions, three of our neighboring cities have completely banned gas blowers. 2. Lani Valentine, mayor of Belvedere, reports no problems with enforcement, unkempt yards or gardeners since the ordinance passed. The City Clerk of Mill Valley reports the same. I have not contacted Ross. 3. The City of San Anselmo restricts blower use to three days a week, and from only 1 to 4 P.M. on those days. 4. I have five(5) immediate neighbors who employ five different gardeners who use gas blowers. They come a number of different times throughout the month. That is too much. 5. Gas leaf blowers seem to be operated incessantly. Using a gas leaf blower for an hour pollutes as much as driving a car for 2 1/2 hours. (Maybe it is because they don't have catalytic converters.) Their pollution includes dust, gasses, clippings, leaves and pollen which more often than not are just blown into the surrounding shrubbery. 6. In regards to special exemptions: A tennis court can be swept in about fifteen minutes with a three foot brush (Which is the way it was done before blowers). That is only a few minutes more than it takes for a blower and a brush still has to be used to pick up. Less pollution for players. As for the bike path, a large brush towed by the truck would work just as well and would be considerably faster.

Attn: Dan Catron Dear Mr. Catron: In reference to the public hearing on September 20th to consider a gas-powered leaf blower ordinance, be advised that the Board of Directors of the Lyford's Cove - Old Tiburon Homeowners Association supports a total ban on gas powered leaf blowers. The Board Members at our last meeting cited instances where the engine driven devices disrupt their peaceful privacy on a daily basis. Also, it was felt that the blowers were ineffective and other garden tools could better accomplish the task rather than the "Mlw, Blow and Go" method. If the Town Council chooses to limit the hours of operation, then the most restrictive regulation would be reco mmended. Very truly yours, J~v~cf. ~~J~ Franklin J. Buscher President EXHIBIT NO.

General Description of the Project & Site: Project consists of a single family residence, pool. house. pool, tennis court. and other elements as shown on the Site Plan/ ,Bui Iding Envelope and Fencing plan dated 10/28/92. The property is zoned RPD and consists of approximately 5 acres. The site is bordered on 3 sides by the "Ring Mountain Preserve" and on the east side by open space and one residence. 2. Design Concept: Separate elements of the residence are to be located at different levels, stair-stepping up the slope from the entrance al lowing maximum views from each level. Tarraced gardens extend below each level withpool and tennis court below. Stepped 3'-4' high planting beds wil I provide a graceful. lush transition between each level. 3. Transportation Analysis: There are no changes proposed in the pedestrian, vehicle and emergency access to the site. The private drive which serves the property from the end of Taylor Road wi I I have a gate at Taylor Road operated by remote contro I . A "turn around" exists at the end of the drive and wil I be maintained. Guest parking for 3 cars wil I be provided in addition to the 2 car garage. The project wil I have no significant impact on adjacent streets. 4. Building Areas: The residence building consists of approximately 6,000 sq. on the main floor, 1200 sq. divided between 2nd floor and areas below the main floor. The pool house is 800 sq. The garage 650 sq. The garage and the pool house wi I I be below grade as shown. 5. Views: Views from the lower portion of the lot to the southeast area obscured by a row of mature Monterey Pines on the adjacent property and by the Tiburon Penninsula. Views above the tree tops extend from Sausal ito to the San Rafael Richmond Bridge. A view study map is included. APPRO'/EO B'{ CITY COUNCIL OAT[ ..JJ - 4-, CJJ...

The maximum height shal I be 25 feet for the residence and 15 feet for al I other structures. 8. Slope: A slope map is included showing that al I the structure on land slope less than 30%, with the tennis court and pool on the flatter portions of the lot. 9. Storm Drainage, Sewer and Public Uti I ities: The lot is served by the Corte Madera Sanitary District #2, MMWD, P.G. & E. P.T. & T., & Cable TV. AI I services are underground. 10. Landscaping: The terraces, stepped planters and the area immediately adjacent to the house wi I I be landscaped. A grove of native trees wi I I be situated between the driveway and the tennis court. The remainder of the property wi II remain in its natural state. A complete landscape plan wi I I be submitted for review with the design review appl ication. 11. Accoustical Analysis: The only potential acoustical problem are the sounds created by tennis players. However, the court is situated so as to mitigate this potential problem. The nearest residence to the northeast is more than 180' distant horizontally and at least 60' in elevation below the court. The other residence to the southeast is 270' distant horizontally and 62' in elevation below the court. As sounds tend to be directed upward and disipate with distance no negative impact is expected. _-~~ f. ~. .;, p. J. 0+ 1..

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning commission held a public hearing on the application on September 13, 1995, and adopted Resolution No. 95-16 (Exhibit B) recommending conditional approval of the amendments as shown in Resolution No. 95-16. Only one issue of concern remains for the applicant. At the Planning commission meeting, the applicant voiced serious concerns about the language adopted in Condition No. 5 concerning the hammerhead turnaround located above the Parcel 2 building envelope. Apparently, the applicants had designed the hammerhead turnaround area larger than that required by the Fire District in order to provide driveway access to Parcel 2 and provide for additional guest parking. Staff was unable to verify this at the meeting without discussion with the Fire District, and urged the Commission to assume for the moment that the entire hammerhead area was required by the Fire District. TlBURON TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT 91201115 1 Following the meeting, staff was able to verify these facts with the Fire Chief, who kindly provided a drawing of the actual hammerhead area needed by the Fire District (see Exhibit C). The Fire District has no objection to permanent parking spaces being located in the excess portions of the hammerhead turnaround. The Fire Chief appeared supportive of any measure which would keep people from parking on stevens Court itself. staff also met with the project architect following the meeting, and is convinced that some portion of the hammerhead area will need to be used as a driveway approach to Parcel 2. Given the building envelope height limits previously imposed by the Town, it does not appear that all four required parking spaces could be provided on Parcel 2 without some use of the hammerhead area. with these facts in hand, Staff would recommend that Condition No. 5 be revised to read as follows: A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and stevens Court on the driveway approach to the residence. The hammerhead area, as required for emergency vehicle turnaround by the Tiburon Fire Protection District, is defined as shown on attached Exhibit "B". The wings of the hammerhead may be available for parking, one wing to be used by Parcel 2 as a driveway and count for required parking, and the other wing shall be available for excess guest parking within the subdivision. Both Exhibit B to the draft Town Council Resolution and the applicant's suggested language for Condition No.5 are attached as Exhibit D to the Staff Report. Staff has revised the applicant's proposed language somewhat. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt the draft Resolution (Exhibit E), which includes the revised Condition No.5.

At the latest amendment hearing before the Planning Commission on June 28, 1995, it became clear that the requirement for four parking spaces within each of the site's three building envelopes would be highly problematical. However, since the parking issue was not part of the application before the Commission and had not been publicly noticed, the Commission was unable to address the issue at that meeting. The applicant was informed that a separate application would be required to address the parking issue. TleURON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Q/1,l,-g.5 1 EXHIBIT No.A ( ( The applicant has filed for the modification of the parking- related condition, as well as to clearly establish that fencing is allowed outside of the building envelopes. PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS Parking The applicant is requesting that Condition No. 13 of Town Council resolution No. 2261, adopted in 1984, be revised to allow guest parking spaces to be located outside of the building envelope. The condition, as amended by Resolution No. 477-90 adopted in 1990, currently reads as follows: Two guest parking spaces shall be provided on each site, within the building envelope, for a total of a minimum of four spaces per unit. Revised language as proposed by the applicant is as follows: Four parking spaces shall be provided on site, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and the street on the driveway approach. staff supports the thrust of the request, since it is apparent that providing four parking spaces within each building envelope would be an amazing feat given the topography of the site. Staff is unaware of any other Precise Plan with such an unorthodox condition, and cannot justify its imposition in this case. Staff's main concern is that the relocated guest parking be placed near the homes and not blocking vehicular passage along the Stevens Court. The applicant's proposed language resolves this concern; however, Staff suggests some wording changes such that the finalized condition read as follows: A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and Steven's Court on the driveway approach to the residence. Parking spaces shall not be located in a manner which would interfere with vehicular access along Stevens Court. This language is included as Condition No. 4 of the draft Resolution (Exhibit 1). Fencing The applicant is also requesting that the issue of fencing outside of building envelopes be addressed in the Precise Plan. The Precise Plan is currently silent on this issue. TlBURON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT W1.l1tl.5 2 ( ( The applicant-proposed language is as follows: Fencing shall be allowed to be built at the property lines but shall not interfere with the road easement. staff believes that Precise Plans of this vintage (1980) did not address fencing because the normal Zoning Ordinance provisions concerning fencing were intended to apply. These are the same provisions which apply to all surrounding homes in the vicinity of the project. Later in the 1980's, as Tiburon began to approve developments on the open hillsides and ridgelines, some Precise Plans included language limiting or prohibiting fences outside of building envelopes, in order to preserve the open view of the hillsides and ridgelines for the general public. Given the very low public visibility of this site, being tucked into a rather narrow draw, Staff believes that the ordinary provisions of the Zoning Ordinance with respect to fencing are most appropriate. Staff's recommended language for addressing the fencing issue is as follows: Building envelopes for the three parcels are shown on the drawing dated 6/22/95 by the Bradley Group, Sheet SPl, on file with the Town of Tiburon Planning Department. No structures shall be permitted outside the approved building envelope for each parcel except driveways, retaining walls associated with driveways, and fencing. The Design Review Board shall review all proposed fencing more than 3~ feet in height for compatibility with surrounding development. This language is contained in Condition No. 2 of the draft Resolution. Consolidation of Conditions Town Staff is very concerned that the repeated amendments to this Precise Plan over the course of the last several years has created a very confusing situation for both Town Staff and applicants. Resolutions No. 2261 (1980), No. 477-90 (1990), No. 3087 (1995), and No. 3101 (1995) leave a difficult trail to follow when processing applications for homes on the site. Modifications approved through this application would only make matters more complex and the Staff more prone to make errors. Staff has therefore taken the opportunity (with the blessing of the applicant) to review and consolidate the previous approvals and amendments into one clear and concise resolution which contains all the remaining applicable conditions of approval, and TlBURON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT P/13/VS 3 ( ( refers only to the currently approved drawings. All previous resolutions would be superseded as they relate to the Precise Plan. The majority of conditions in the various resolutions pertain to pre-subdivision requirements which were long ago fulfilled; several others are duplicates. Staff has been careful to ensure that all pertinent conditions have been carried over into the new draft Resolution. staff is hopeful that the Commission will find the draft Resolution a substantial improvement over the current jumbled state of affairs for this Precise Plan.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the Town of Tiburon does resolve as follows: section ~ Findinas. A. On September 19, 1984, the Tiburon Town Council approved a Master Plan, Precise Plan and Tentative Map for the Fraige subdivision. The Precise Plan, in Resolution No. 2261, established development parameters (including primary building envelopes and maximum house sizes) for 3 single family lots. Some of the conditions of this Resolution were modified by the adoption in 1990 of Planning commission Resolution No. 477-90. B. On April 19, 1995, the Tiburon Town Council approved an amendment to the approved Precise Plan by adopting Resolution No. 3087, which modified the building envelope locations and imposed special height restrictions on the portions of the building envelopes which were modified. C. On July 5, 1995, the Town Council approved Resolution No. 3101 which further amended the Precise Plan by modifying building envelopes and height restrictions. . D. The Planning commission has received and considered an application filed by Monahan Pacific to further amend the Fraige Precise Plan to eliminate the requirement that four parking spaces be located within the building envelope for each parcel, and to allow for fencing outside of the building envelope. The application consists of the following: 1. Application form received 8/23/95. 2. Letter from Monahan Pacific dated 8/29/95. 3. site Plan and Sections, Sheets SP, SP-l, and SP-2, prepared by the Bradley Group dated 6/22/95. E. Because of the numerous previous modifications to the Fraige Precise Plan, involving four prior resolutions, the Town is Tiburon Planning Commission Resolution No. 95.0RAFT 9/13/95 1 EXHIBIT NO.-1- ( ( taking this opportunity to consolidate the remaining applicable conditions of approval on the Precise Plan. F. The official record for this project is hereby incorporated and made part of this resolution. The record includes the Staff Reports, minutes, application materials, and all comments and materials received at the public hearing. G. The Planning commission held a dUly-noticed public hearing on September 13, 1995, and heard and considered testimony from interested persons. H. The Planning Commission finds the proposed parking and fencing amendments recommended herein represent reasonable limitations on the development of the property, in keeping with the pattern of development in the surrounding neighborhood. The Commission further finds that the proposed amendments, as conditioned, will not adversely affect other properties in the vicinity. Consolidation of the remaining applicable conditions of approval will reduce future confusion as individual home applications are processed. I. The Planning commission has found that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section ~ Approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning commission of the Town of Tiburon does hereby recommend to the Town Council approval of an amendment to, and consolidation of, the conditions of approval for the Fraige Precise Development Plan as ~ollows: 1. This Precise Plan approves three residential building sites for single family detached homes. 2. Building envelopes for the three parcels are shown on the drawing dated 6/22/95 by the Bradley Group, Sheet SPl, on file with the Town of Tiburon Planning Department. No structures shall be permitted outside the approved building envelope for each parcel except driveways, retaining walls associated with driveways, and fencing. The Design Review Board shall review all proposed fencing more than 3\ feet in height for compatibility with surrounding development. 3. All structures located within those highlighted portions of the building envelopes for Parcels 1 and 2, as shown on the attached Exhibit "A", shall be limited to 20 feet in height as measured from existing grade along the uphill edge of the building envelope and extending horizontally across the Tiburon Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-0RAFT 9/13/95 2 ( ( area of restricted height. No flat roofs shall be permitted within the restricted height area. At no point shall any structure exceed 30 feet above existing grade in any portion of a building envelope. 3. The maximum gross floor area for each parcel shall not exceed 3,600 square feet, including the garage. 4. A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and stevens Court on the driveway approach to the residence. Parking spaces shall not be located in a manner which would interfere with vehicular access along Stevens Court. 5. All structures shall be subject to Site Plan & Architectural Review approval by the Town. Each residence shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and shall conform with the Tiburon Hillside Design Guidelines. 6. In conjunction with the first site Plan and Architectural Review application submittal for the subdivision, a landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Design Review Board. Said plan shall provide for an appropriate landscape screen between the private access roadway and adjacent upslope properties. This screening shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the first house in the subdivision. The purpose of the landscaping shall be to screen views of the access road from the upslope neighboring properties. The screen shall be designed to use a variety of plant species and types for the purpose of creating an informal and natural-looking screen rather than a formal and monotonous hedge. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit ~or the subdivision, a monetary security adequate to ensure the installation and maintenance of the landscape screening shall be deposited with the Town. The deposit shall be refunded not less than three (3) years after satisfactory completion and successful establishment of the landscape screen. 7.

Construction fencing shall be installed and maintained along.the dripline of potentially affected oak Tiburon Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-0RAFT 9/13/95 3 ( ( trees prior to the commencement of any grading, site preparation, or construction activity. 9. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for any parcel in the subdivision, an appropriate instrument shall be recorded with the Marin County Recorder's Office which modifies the configuration of the Access and utilities Easement shown on PM 5-90 to be consistent with the approved Precise Plan. This condition specifically refers to the easement line across Parcel 2. In addition, the stated purpose of the easement across Parcels 1 and 2 shall be expanded to include landscape screening as required by Condition No. 6 above. 10. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the Town Engineer shall review the drainage plans of individual parcels for conformance with the Town's Single Family Drainage Requirements. 11.

The Precise Plan for the Fraige subdivision is amended to modify the building envelopes for the lots as shown on the Revised Envelope exhibits prepared by Staff on 3-23-95. The amendments, as approved herein, will accomplish the following: -The building envelope for Parcell is moved eastward (uphill) 16 feet, and the west downhill side of the envelope is reconfigured to avoid encroachment into the dripline of the adjacent oak tree. It is intended that the total area of the envelope equal the area of the enyelope as originally approved for the subdivision. In addition, a reduced height limit of 15 feet shall be applied to the relocated portions of the envelope as described in Condition #3 below. -The building envelope for Parcel 2 is moved eastward (uphill) between 17 and 36 feet. The geometry of the envelope is changed from a rectangle to parallelogram as shown on Exhibit A. In addition, a reduced height limit of 15 feet shall be applied to the relocated portions of the envelope as described in Condition #3 below. -The building envelope for Parcel 3 is moved eastward (uphill) 3 feet. 2. Prior to the issuance of building permits for any lot within the subdivision, an appropriate instrument shall be recorded with the County Recorder's Office which modifies the configuration of the Public Utilities and Access Easement consistent with this approval. This specifically refers to the easement line across Parcel 2. In addition, the stated purposes of the easement across Parcels 1 and 2 shall be expanded to include landscape screening as required by Condition #4 below. 3. All structures, or portions of structures, constructed within those portions of the building envelopes for Parcels 1 and 2, as modified by this amendment, which are outside of the envelopes as originally approved and shown on the recorded parcel map for the subdivision, shall be limited to one story (15 feet) in height. This limitation is indicated on the attached Exhibit A. r [ L r [ r , 4. In conjunction with the first Site Plan and Architectural Review submittal for the subdivision, a landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Design Review Board which provides for an appropriate landscape screen between the roadway and adjacent uphill properties. This screening shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the first house in the subdivision. The goal of the landscape design shall be to screen views of the access road from the uphill neighbors. The screen shall be designed to use a variety of plant species and forms for the purpose of creating an informal and natural looking screen rather that a formal and monotonous hedge. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the subdivision, a monetary security adequate to ensure the installation and maintenance of the landscape screening shall be deposited with the Town. This deposit shall be refunded not less that 3 years after satisfactory completion and successful establishment of the landscaping. 5. No grading or earth movement shall be permitted within the presently existing dripline of the oak tree on Lot 1. Construction fencing shall be installed along the edge of the oak dripline prior the commencement of any grading on lot 1. 6. All requirements and provisions of Resolution 477-90 shall remain in full force and effect for the property, except as modified herein. 7. Unless specifically stated in this approval, this amendment does not otherwise affect any specific provisions of the Master Plan, Precise Plan, Parcel Map, Subdivision Improvement Plans, Subdivision Improvement Agreement, Road Maintenance Agreement, or other approved instruments or Town approvals associated with the subdivision project.

The proposed house sizes are substantially larger than existing houses in the immedinte vicinity, including the new residence at 211 Round Hill Road. The Town Council further finds that the npplicant has provided no compelling reason to approve lnrger house sizes for the project, nor demonstrnted any benelit to the public henlth, safety, or general welfare to warrant a change to the zoning f'estrictions properly placed on the project by the Town.

Fire Marshall Town of Tiburon Re: The use of the Hammerhead at Steven's Coun The driveway hammerhead off of Steven's Court was designed to serve two purposes. First, to provide access and turn around space for fIre trucks and other service vehicles; and second, to serve as a driveway for the home on which property it lies. To facilitate the first purpose the hammerhead was increased in size from the original design shown on the precise plan on record with the town of Tiburon to be 35' long from the center of Steven's coun to the end of the hammerhead and 30' wide, as currently depicted on the drawing by The Bradley Group dated 6/21/95. This space, that is perpendicular to Steven's Coun, fulfills the needs of the fIre department and the wings of the hammerhead need not be included as part of the hammer head to so. The second purpose of the hammerhead is to serve as a driveway for the house whose front yard and vehicle access it would otherwise greatly diminish. The wings of the hammerhead are intended to be utilized solely by the home owner as a driveway and should be available to be used as any normal driveway would be by the homeowner. Guest parking in the wings of the hanuner head do not interfere with the needs of the fIre department and can be used, as far as the fIre department is concerned, as part of the required parking space for the home whose property it encroaches..

" RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON AMENDING THE FRAIGE PRECISE PLAN (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 31) AND SUPERSEDING PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS THEREFOR (1, 5 & 9 STEVENS COURT) ASSESSOR PARCEL ~ 58-111-25. 22 ~ 22 WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does resolve as follows: Section ~ Findings. A. On September 19, 1984, the Tiburon Town Council approved a Master Plan, Precise Plan and Tentative Map for the Fraige subdivision. The Precise Plan, in Resolution No. 2261, established development parameters (including building envelopes and maximum house sizes) for three (3) single family lots. Some of the conditions of this Resolution were modified by the adoption in 1990 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 477-90. B. On April 19, 1995, the Tiburon Town Council approved an amendment to the Precise Plan by adopting Resolution No. 3087, which modified the building envelope locations and imposed special height restrictions on portions of building envelopes. C. On July 5, 1995, the Town Council approved Resolution No. 3101 which further amended the Precise Plan by modifying building envelopes and height restrictions. D. The Town Council has received and considered an application filed by Monahan Pacific to further amend the Fraige Precise Plan to modify the requirement that four parking spaces be located within the building envelope for each parcel, and to allow for fencing outside of the building envelope. The application consists of the following: 1. Application form received 8/23/95. 2. Letter from Monahan Pacific dated 8/29/95. 3. site Plan and Sections, Sheets SP, SP-l, and SP-2, prepared by the Bradley Group dated 6/22/95. The Planning Commission reviewed the application at a public hearing held on September 13, 1995 and adopted Resolution No. 95-16 recommending approval of the application and consolidation of previous conditions of approval. Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 9120195 1 EXHIBIT NO.~ E. Because of the numerous previous modifications to the Fraige Precise Plan, involving four prior resolutions, the Town Council with assent of the applicant is taking this opportunity to consolidate the remaining applicable conditions of approval on the Precise Plan, and supersede the previous Resolutions approving the Precise Plan. F. The official record for this project is hereby incorporated and made part of this resolution. The record includes the Staff Reports, minutes, application materials, and all comments and materials received at the public hearing. G. The Town Council held a dUly-noticed public hearing on September 20, 1995, and heard and considered testimony from interested persons. H. The Town Council finds the parking and fencing amendments approved herein represent reasonable limitations on the development of the property, in keeping with the pattern of development in the surrounding neighborhood. The Town Council further finds that the proposed amendments, as conditioned, will not adversely affect other properties in the vicinity. Consolidation of the remaining applicable conditions of approval will reduce future confusion as individual home applications are processed. I. The Town Council finds that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. section ~ Approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council Commission of the Town of Tiburon does hereby approve amendments to, and consolidate herein, the previously-adopted conditions of approval for the Fraige Precise Plan (Planned Development No. 31) as follows: 1. This Precise Plan approves three building sites for single family detached homes. 2.

All structures shall be subject to site Plan & Architectural Review approval by the Town. Each residence shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and shall conform with the Tiburon Hillside Design Guidelines. 7. In conjunction with the first Site Plan and Architectural Review application submittal for the subdivision, a landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Design Review Board. Said plan shall provide for an appropriate landscape screen between the private access roadway and adjacent upslope properties. This screening shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the first house in the subdivision. The purpose of the landscaping shall be to screen views of the access road from the upslope neighboring properties.

Architecturm Review: Madeleine Wood reported there will be Public Workshops on the Easton (Martha Corp.) property September 12 and 19, in lieu of Planning Commission meet- ings, at the Town Council chambers, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., where we can express our concerns over this proposed devel- opment (traffic flow, projected 6 trips per house per day etc. ) . After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that Madeleine will attend the next Design Review meeting to make a state- ment regarding our concerns for the future of Old Tiburon. The Board agreed that houses are becoming too large for their lot size and are out of character for the neighborhood. Social: Betty Girtler announced that plans for our Fall dinner party have been finalized. It will be held at the San Francisco Yacht Club on October 12. Invitations will be mailed to the membership. . ~ . , Minutes - Board of Directors Meeting August 29, 1995 Page 2 Paths: Upper Raccoon Lane has been cleaned up, and Gary Lucas has cleaned Esperanza Path. Discussion was held regarding possibilitity of erecting discreet signs marking the paths. Library: The Belvedere and Tiburon Councils have appoint- ed a five-person Agency to act as liasion for the New Library and the respective municipalities. B. Tutto Mare Neon Si~n: Frank Buscher again met with the Town staff. They have been in contact with the restaur- ant manager, but have taken no action because of personnel changes. C. Shoreline Park "Monuments": Pat Montag reported she had ascertained that Parks & Open Space Commission was given permission by the Council to allow the second "monument", which was installed earlier this year. She was given assurance that there will not be any more. The Board agreed on the desirability of removing the existing markers in favor of less obtrusive flat plaques. D. David Teather Park: Rich Musaill reported that he had written to the Town Manager regarding designation of the park; he is hopeful it will be approved and a small sign erected. E. Green Garden Refuse Cans, which were distributed to home- owners on certain streets, reportedly are being left on the street between pickups. It was agreed that, besides the esthetic con&deration,these cans are a hazard to older people as they are difficult to handle on steep driveways. Also, we need to know if the quarterly pickup will be con- tinued. The motion was passed that we write to the Council stating that our Board is opposed to use of these cans in our area. F. Street Sweeping: After discussion, the Board agreed that the present service, provided by the Mill Valley Refuse Service, is sporatic and inefficient and quite unsatis- factory. The motion was passed that we inform the Town accordingly, with copy to Public Works Department. VI. NEW BUSINESS A. De-Annexation or Disincorporation.

NOTE: REMINDER: Page 3 were: Tax measures for only specific areas of the Town (e.g. Open Space); better County-maintained roads; question- ing necessity of new Library; high annual taxes for Town services. Also, he would like the Board to be more force- ful in letting the Town know of our requirements, such as enforcing house-to-lot size criteria etc. The Board respectful~ heard Mr. Marans' presentation, but took no action as to approval or disapproval of his pro- posal. B. Neighbors on Centro West who are in contention over a building expansion presented their cases to the Board. It was explained to them that the process would be to write letters to the Town commissions and attend Town Hall meetings; that residents do have the right to protest what they perceive to be undesirable or illegal development; if they will contact their Homeowners Association, our Architectural Review committee will look at the plans and give advice as to how to proceed. The hearing on this particular matter by the Design Review Committee will be on September 7th. C. Leaf Blowers: The Council hearing on this subject was referred back to Committee. The motion was passed that we write to the Council, as an advisory by the Board, stating that we support the banning of gas-powered leaf blowers in Tiburon.

Kleinert Town Manager City of Tiburon 1155 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 TOWN MANAtH:R'::) oFfiCI:: TOWN OF TIBURCN Dear Mr. Kleinert: Weare writing you to request the City of Tiburon's support for the attached resolution which was adopted by the Los Angeles Division of the League of California Cities on August 3, 1995. As you are aware, Division-sponsored resolutions are being forwarded to the League's General Resolutions Committee on October 23, 1995, and then to the General Assembly on October 24, 1995. The subject resolution seeks to redistribute 1 % sales tax from the State to cities. The State currently gets 5% and cities get 1 % of the sales taxes paid on each dollar throughout California. The resolution directs the League to initiate legislative actions, either through the State legislature or through a ballot initiative, to change the percentage split to 4% for the State and 2% to cities. If the shift in sales taxes is accomplished, it would mean that the amount of sales taxes cities now receive would double. In essence, the resolution seeks to shift money from the State to cities using an existing tax mechanism and an existing allocation method. The resolution is relatively simple and in "terms of complexity" stands in sharp contrast to a number of efforts underway on government restructuring, constitutional revision, and modification of the taxation system. Consequently, the proposed resolution should not be compared to these activities. The issue for this resolution is not the structure of government, the constitution, or the taxation system -- it is how much money different agencies receive. We believe cities and counties are getting a disproportionately small share of available revenues. For example, the City of Covina, located in eastern Los Angeles County with a population of 44,000, will receive about $19.8 million in general fund revenue during this next fiscal year from over a dozen sources, including an 8.25% utility users tax. Of this total, sales tax revenue is about $5.7 million. The State will get five times this amount or about $28.5 million - all from Covina transactions. The amount of sales tax revenue going to the State exceeds the City's total general fund revenue from over a dozen sources! And while Covina's budget has been reduced in recent years like a number of other cities and counties throughout California, the State's budget continues to increase, from $53.083 billion in fiscal year 1993-1994 to $57.508 billion in fiscal year 1995-1996, an increase of 8.3%. ., Page 2 of 2. As most city administrators throughout California know, part of the problem here is that property tax revenue and other funds have been lost due to State takeaways. A recent Los Angeles Times article put the amount of property tax revenue taken away by the State at $3.9 billion. Although many would agree that schools need more funding, it is unlikely that many would agree it should be taken out of the pockets of cities and counties since we have been heavily impacted by numerous State and Federal mandates as well as increased demands for Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and library services amid continuing recession in many parts of the state. Adding to the plight and dismay of cities is the outcome of Proposition 172. Proposition 172 was approved by voters in November 1993 and increased statewide sales taxes a half percent to augment public safety funding, funding for police and fire services, for example. While it appeared that this measure would offset losses in property tax revenue, most cities only receive a small fraction of the money collected from this Proposition due to the formula used to apportion these funds. For example, Los Angeles County received $370 million so far for 1994- 1995 from Proposition 172, yet has allocated only about $35 million to cities in Los Angeles County, less than 10% of the revenues. Of the funds allocated to cities, Covin a received $213,000, an amount far less than a half percent sales tax. If these funds were allocated using the formula used to allocate other sales tax revenues, Covina would have received over $2.5 million. We all know what is at stake regarding the financing of local government services. The true impacts of the recession and the need for increased government revenues have been pushed down to the local level by the State. To save many essential services that are now being threatened, we need to form a unified voice to effect the same changes at the State level that we have been forced to make as cities and counties. Through this resolution we are seeking a shift of an estimated $2.8 billion from the State to cities and counties. This amounts to less than a 5% cut in the State's fiscal year 1995-1996 budget. This is not an unreasonable reduction considering the kinds of drastic cuts being made this year by many cities and counties throughout California. We are not seeking a battle with the State over revenue. We simply feel that many local services that are now being jeopardized represent a higher taxpayer priority (e.g., Police and Fire) than other services provided by the State. This is the issue we wish to bring forward with this resolution. We ask that your City Council adopt the attached supporting resolution and either FAX it or mail it to the City of Covina by October 18, 1995. FAX to Covina's City Manager, Mr. Fran Delach at 818/858-5556, or mail it to him at 125 E. College Street, Covina, CA 91723. Following receipt of your supporting resolution, Covina will mail you a lapel pin that is now being produced to promote this effort. If you have any questions about this resolution feel free to call either of us at 818/858-7212. ~~ os. eary Mayor TMO'L/FMD:CAK RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES' RESOLUTION ON SALES TAX REDISTRIBUTION TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY CITIES TO 2%. WHEREAS, the State receives five times as much sales tax revenue as cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the sales tax revenue retained by the State from individual cities often exceeds the general fund budgets of those cities where the sales tax revenue originates; and WHEREAS, cities provide services that directly benefit the quality of life in hundreds of communities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the public benefits of cities' services include the maintenance of property values, reduced risk to health and safety caused by crime, fires, medical emergencies, poor sanitation, and poor building and road construction; and WHEREAS, cities' services provide important cultural and economic benefits through parks and recreation programs, library and senior programs, removal of blight from inner cities and older neighborhoods, and through business attraction efforts that provide jobs; and WHEREAS, the State has acted to reduce the amount of revenue received by cities in recent years forcing many cities throughout California to augment their revenues by imposing local assessments, fees, or taxes - or to make cuts in essential services; and WHEREAS, because cities receive only a small fraction of the money collected through voter-approved Proposition 172 (Public Safety Augmentation Fund), public safety services like police and fire services face drastic financial reductions in many cities throughout California in light of State takeaways and State-imposed mandates; and WHEREAS, many taxpayers object to paying additional taxes for what they view as diminishing local services caused by these factors, especially while the demand for police services, for example, continues to increase due to rising crime; and WHEREAS, on August 3, 1995, the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities adopted a resolution which seeks legislative action that would result in a more equitable distribution of sales tax revenue by shifting 1 % sales tax revenue from the State to cities; and WHEREAS, the League's resolution will help cities provide essential local services without adding more burden to taxpayers; and WHEREAS, on October 24, 1995, the General Assembly of the League of California Cities will vote on this important resolution; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that the City of does hereby support the League of California Cities' resolution to Redistribute Sales Taxes so that the total received by cities is 2% of the amount paid per dollar on taxable sales. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of 1995. Mayor A TrEST: ADOPTED RESOLUTION OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES --ADOPTED AUGUST 3, 1995-- RESOLUTION TO REDISTRIBUTE SALES TAXES WHEREAS, cities throughout California receive 1 % of the sales taxes paid on each dollar within their jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, the State receives 5% of the sales taxes paid on each dollar in each city throughout California; and WHEREAS, the State has reduced the amount of funding to cities in recent years; and WHEREAS, costs of operating cities have increased in recent years due to a variety of factors, including increases in crime and increases in the number of mandates cities must comply with; and WHEREAS, voters throughout the State are weary of paying additional taxes, fees, and assessments for what they view as diminishing local services; and WHEREAS, the above circumstances have led to drastic cuts in the areas of Police, Fire, Library, Parks and Recreation, and Street Maintenance services by many cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the effects of such cuts, and continued erosion of services in these areas will result in increased crime, reduced property values, reduced sales tax revenues, and increased costs to manage cities; and WHEREAS, the voters throughout California seem to consider such local government services a higher priority than many services provided by the State that are funded wit.'1 sales tax revenue; now, therefore, be it RESOL VED, that the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in San Francisco, October 24, 1995, that the League will sponsor legislation or sponsor a ballot initiative effort that will redistribute sales taxes received by the State such that the State's share is 4% and the cities' share is 2% of the sales taxes paid per dollar; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the amount of sales tax revenue to be redistributed shall be allocated to cities using the same method as is currently being used to distribute the existing 1 % share per dollar cities receive. INFORMATION & SOURCES Statewide Tax Rate The statewide sales tax breaks down as follows according to the State Board of Equalization. [Legal references were obtained from Mr. John Waid. Senior Legal Counsel. State Board of Equalization (telephone 916/324-3828). Taxable sales information is available from the Statistics Section.

Do cities receive 1% or 1.25%? The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Law (Taxation and Revenue 7200 et seq.), does establish the rate for cities and counties at 1.25 percent. But. according to Mr. John Waid, Senior Legal Counsel, State Board of Equalization, .25 percent is reserved for county transportation programs and goes to counties. This is pursuant to sections 7202(d)(e). Hence, cities do not receive 1.25 percent, but 1 % in non- restricted general funds. Health and Welfare Realionment Prooram The amount designated for county health and social service programs of $1.6 billion (according to Western City, August 1995. p. 4), mostly goes only to counties, according to the Sandy Rogerson, Supervisor of Health and Welfare Program, Apportionment Unit of the State Controller's Office (916/322-5089). This is for the Health and Welfare Realignment Program which was approved and went into effect in 1991. This program is codified in Welfare & Institutions Code, Sections 17600 - 17609.15. Only seven cities statewide receive any funds for this program (San Francisco, Berkeley, Pasadena, Long Beach, and a Tri-City group). OVER Public Safety Funds These funds were voter approved through Prop 172 in November of 1993 and amount to a .5% sales tax. They are designated for counties and cities that were subject to the property tax shift and are apportioned to counties based on their percentage of statewide taxable sales. Counties allocate funds to cities based on a formula established in Government Code Sections 30052-30054. According to Mr. Lyman Jeung. Principal Accountant of the LA County Auditor's Office (telephone 213/974-8362), and as stated in the Code, there is a limit on how much cities can receive from Prop 172 revenue -- 50% of the amount shifted in property taxes after deducting vehicle registration fee revenue. For example, if a city lost $1 million in property tax revenue but received $200,000 in vehicle registration fee revenue, then the city could receive no more than $400,000 in Prop 172 revenue (1.000,000 - 200.000 = 800,000 . .50 = 400,000). LA County received $370 million in fiscal year 94-95 (less 1 month) and retained $335 million; cities in LA County were apportioned about $35 million -- less than 10% of the total apportioned to LA County by the State. Mr. Lyman says that counties lost a greater share of property tax revenue during the shift and this is why counties receive a larger share of sales tax revenue from this source. According to Ms. Kwong- McGee at the State Controller's Office (916/324-8365). a number of cities are now complaining how little funding they actually receive n in some cases counties are retaining up to 95% of these revenues. As an example of what this has meant to cities consider the following example. Prop 172 ushered in a 1/2 cent or .5% sales tax. A 1% sales tax results in $5.7 million to the City of Covina (population 44,000) when it is apportioned based on place of sale. Yet, the 1/2 cent sales tax imposed by Prop 172 resulted in only $213.000 to Covina last year. This has to do with the formula set forth in Government Code Section 30054. If this allocation formula was changed to return the funds based on place of sale, Covina's revenue designated for public safely services would increase by over $2.5 million per year.

Discussion: At the regular Council meeting of September 6, 1995 Town Council conducted public hearings concerning the "Hilarita Request for Additional Preservation Funding." Council received a Staff Report concerning the agenda item, and representatives of the Tiburon Ecumenical Association-Hilarita Project - Carolyn Attkisson, Richard Mandel and Katrina Bergen - were present and provided further comments and clarification concerning the status of the project and reasons for requesting financial assistance from the Town. In Fiscal Year 1994 the Town Redevelopment Agency agreed to provide up to $165,000 for the Preservation efforts. The initial phase of the project has been completed - the Project used about $65,000, repaid approximately $58,000, the unpaid amount being $7,000. The Project now requires $15,000 for predevelopment costs and $308,000 for unfunded building rehabilitation costs. Council approved appropriating the amount required to fund the predevelopment costs ($15,000), and $143,000 to fund a share of the unfunded building rehabilitation costs. Recommendations: 1. TO\m Council (the Board of Directors) approve a total appropriation of$158,000 from the Agency Housing Fund for Hilarita Preservation Project predevelopment and building rehabilitation costs. The revised unreserved amount available in the Housing Fund is now $92,000 - 685,000 is currently reserved for the Cecilia Project. Exhibits: 1. Staff Report, September 6, 1995, Item 7. TOWN OF TIBURON STAFF REPORT ITEMNO.q- To: From: Subject: Date: TOWN COUNCIL TOWN MANAGER HILARIT A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL PRESER V A nON FUNDING September 6, ] 995 The Hilarita's preservation phase has successfully been concluded with the recent purchase of the Hilarita by the Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association. However, one of the requirements of the HUD-approved sale requires the buildings to be rehabilitated to ensure long- term viability and provide tenant safety. Although HUD requires the building rehabilitation, they do not provide sufficient funds for the work. The Federal government has appropriated $1.7 million for the rehabilitation phase which leaves a significant shortfall. The Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association is therefore asking the Town to consider granting them rehabilitation funding assistance in addition to the original preservation funding previously granted by the Town. The Town allocated an initial pre-acquisition loan to the Hilarita for preservation purposes in the amount of$165,000. Of this amount, the Hilarita only drew down $65,600 of which they have repaid all but $7,000. They are planning to utilize an additional $]5,000 for future predevelopment costs and inspections. In summary, the Hilarita will have utilized a total of$22,000 from the original Town-authorized $]65,000. They are now requesting to use the balance of the initial Town allocation ($]43,000), plus $165,00 for an overall supplemental funding request of $308,000 for the rehabilitation work. The Town has been very supportive of the Hilarita, both politically and financially, and certainly wants to continue to be of assistance. However, the requested amount from the Town's restricted affordable housing funds represents a significant allocation. It could impact the Senior Housing Advisory Committee's etforts and the long-range financing plans for the new Police facilities and Senior Housing project. I have advised Carolyn Attkisson, President of the Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association, of these preliminary concerns and that the Association's request will be scheduled for consideration by the Town Council at its regular September 6 meeting. Time is of the essence regarding this request. as HUD requires the rehabilitation work to be commenced and completed in a timely manner. The Hilarita- Tiburon Ecumenical Association TOWN COUNCIL Page 2 September 6, 1995 has also indicated that they are very appreciative of the Town's continued support and past financial assistance. Copies of the Hilarita-Tiburon Ecumenical Association's request to the Town have been forwarded to the Town's Housing Committee, BAC and SHAC. It should also be noted that the original request of$375,472 (August 22) has been reduced to $308,000 (August 3 I). EXHIBITS I.

I would like an opportunity to appear before the Town Council at their next meeting to make the official presentation of historic registry to the Town. Meanwhile you had suggested that when making the announcement of historic registry, it would also be a good time to announce plans for a celebration commemorating Its placement. However, both Roger Felton and Beverly Bastian wish to wait until next spring to talk dates for the dedication party. Downtown Historic Preservation Plan We are proceeding to develop an historic preservation plan for the downtown area. The AD.A does ameliorate regulations for the handicapped within an historic preservation area. There is a specific chapter in the ADA regulations concerning historic preservation. I am looking into the Town of Tiburon becoming a "Certified Local Government of the Office of Historic Preservation". Receipt of this certificate would entitle the town to grant monies to assist in the preservation effort. It would also provide Federal tax relief for owners of historic properties I plan to get direction from Scott Anderson and the Planning Commission as well as from the attorney on this whole project. ~ I welcome your suggestions and input. .-- ..--.- / / / / .....-~ //:-/r& CL ___'-'.~ /?<; LL -- -[../l- v v Vlctona Arnett.

Town Engineer Mohammadi presented a preliminary bid by Ghilotti Brothers for the street-raising work, and told Council that his original estimate of $150-175,000 for the entire project still stood. He asked for direction fi'om Council on how to proceed. Tom Frankovich, Attorney for plaintiffs, said that 11 businesses on Main Street needed changes but that not all of them would require handrails (e.g. Purdy). He said that Town would need to decide whether to grant variances to individual property owners to do the work, such as raise sidewalks in order to install ramps, Council member Ginalski suggested getting all the property owners and the Town together to decide what was acceptable. He said this was the first time he had heard that the property owners expected the Town to foot part of the bill for (the street- raising) project. Mayor Thompson opened the public hearing Klaus Meinberg, 35 1\1ain Street. Owner of Sweden House Bakel'y, said since the TOWN COUNCIl. MINIJTICS #IU(,] .SI:J>II:MllI.:R (" 1995 4 property owners were being forced to do something, why not take the opportunity to improve the street, such as raise it. make it one-way or limit traffic. He said that ramps and hand rails would kill business and force even more people into the street, creating more safety problems. He told Council that the Town should get involved with the project because "Main Street is your Town" Town Attorney Sharp said he was apprehensive about the Town creating the overall plan which could turn it into a public project with legal ramifications. Hearing returned to Council. Council member Nygren said that previous Councils had voted against one-way streets, and that Sia's project was nice but that bricks would make Main Street look like Disneyland. She suggested that the downtown business owners and merchants chip in to cover the changes and use Chamber of Commerce benefits for additional sources of funding. Council member Wolf said she would like to hear from Town Attorney Sharp after he had reviewed materials from Frankovich. Council member Ginalski suggested that the business owners come to the Town with a proposal. Council directed Town staff to turn over project information to the business community. Mayor Thompson asked Mr. Frankovich to work with the business owners to help them resolve the problem. Frankovich said Town Engineer Mohammadi's plan was a good one and he would talk to the property owners and inform the Court of the progress to date. 11. Town ofTiburon 1995 Goals Calendar.

The Public Services subcommittee met on August 29, 1995, and came to recommend that the use of leaf blowers in residential areas be restricted to the hours of operation specified for heavy construction equipment, with additional hours provided on Saturday. The allowed hours as proposed by the Public Setvices subcommittee would be 8 AM. to 4 P.M. Monday through Friday, and 9:30 AM. to 4 P.M. on Saturdays. ANALYSIS Planning Department Staff believes that any leaf blower regulations adopted by the Town should be simple and easy to enforce. Any such ordinance should I) Not involve decibel meters; and 2) Not require a permit process. The simple regulation of hours proposed by the Public SelVices subcommittee would meet these criteria.

Section 30-2 Purpose and Intent The purpose of this section is to regulate the use of gasoline powered leaf blowers within residential areas of the community, so as to prevent the unreasonable and continuous disruption of households due to leaf blower noise and the devices' ability to broadcast dust and other airborne pollutants into the air and onto nearby properties. This section also seeks to allow residential property owners (or their employees, agents or contractors) to maintain the appearance and condition of their properties using gas- powered leafblowers on certain days and at certain times. Tiburon TO\m Council Lear Blower Ordinance (draft) 9/20/9S 1 Residential areas are being distinguished from other areas of the Town because of the special maintenance needs for commercial and other public areas, and the particular sensitivity of residential uses to the impacts and effects resulting from the use of gas- powered leaf blowers. Section 30-3 Definitions Gas-powered leaf blower- A gas powered leaf blower is defined as any leatblower directly powered by an internal combustion or rotary engine using gasoline, alcohol or other liquid or gaseous fuel.

Section 30-4 Restricted Uses: Time of Day. Days of Week It shall be unlawful for any property owner or employee, agent or contractor working for a property owner to operate a gas-powered leaf blower to blow leaves, dirt, or other debris off sidewalks, driveways, lawns, or other surfaces within any residential area of the Town, except from 8:00 A.M. to 4 P.M., Monday through Friday, and 9:30 A.M. to 4 P.M. on Saturday. No use shall be allowed on Sunday or on holidays recognized by the Town of Tiburon. Section 30-5 Enforcement and Violations.

Any property owner or employee, agent or contractor working for a property owner who violates this ordinance may also be considered guilty of an infraction, and each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall be constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as such. Tiburon Town Council Leaf Blower Ordinance (draft) 9/20/9~ 2 SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, clause or phrase of the Ordinance, or any part thereof, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof and the Town Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that anyone or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective.

During public hearing, Carolyn Garrity, 283 Karen Way, suggested other solutl such as access through back doors, and cited her experience working on 201 Califor Street in San Francisco. Thomas Frankovich, attorney for Partick Conley and Don Sticle, two of the defendants suing the Main Street property owners, said that the litigation arose out of people coming into Tiburon on the ferry and finding 50% of the businesses on Main Street inaccessible. He said they would work with the businesses to make them accessible, and proposed raising the sidewalk on the West side of Main Street next to Westerly Teas and stepping it down gradually two inches; raising the sidewalk on the East side of Main Street by six inches all from Thai Family Restaurant all the way to Tommy's. He said the code did not require hand rails but that it was not a bad idea to install one in front of Silk & Satin, and Thai Family. Mr. Frankovich said the City had a duty to comply with Title 2 to make reasonable accommodation as a public entity. Hearing returned to Council. Mayor Thompson suggested creating a subcommittee to work with the merchants to resolve the issue. Councilmember Nygren said that Council should first deliberate about the options, and questioned whether it was a good idea to close Main Street. Mayor Thompson and Councilmember Thayer concurred about not closing the street. Town Manager Kleinert said he was encouraged by attorney Frankovich's remarks and would pass on the suggestions and ideas to the property owners through the Chamber of Commerce. Attorney Frankovich said the case would be heard in Federal Court and would probably go to trial in January (1996). F. PUBLIC HEARING .., 10. LEAF BLOWER ORDINANCE. Councilmember Thayer suggested amending the ordinance to allow the use of leaf blowers on Saturdays. Councilmember Nygren moved to read the Ordinance by Title Only, seconded by Thayer.

George Landau, 82 Sugarloaf, said that leaf blowers were loud and saw no reason for their existence. He thought Belvedere had the right idea in banning (gas) leaf blowers.

Hearing returned to Council. Council member Thayer and Ginalski thought there had been clear violations of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan and asked the Town Attorney to look into the suggested increase to the tree replacement ratio and bonding issues. Council member Wolf stated she did not agree with the idea of a citizen oversight committee or bond, and said it was not clear that there were violations. She said a letter of guarantee would be sufficient (in lieu of a bond). Mayor Thompson said it was not clearly identified what had been violated or what had not, but he concurred with the recommendation of a public review process recommended by staff. He also said he liked the idea of a citizen liaison committee and went along with the idea of a bond. MOTION: To adopt Staff recommendations; Town attorney to determine replacement ratios; Notice hearing for damage to Heritage Oak; Bond issue to return to Council. Moved: Vote: Ginalski, Seconded by Thayer. AYES: Unanimous Town Manager Kleinert commented that he thought Staff had done an excellent job montoring what was obviously a very sensitive project. He suggested that the Council consider hiring a full- time monitor for future development projects. Planning Director Anderson said that the developer would pay for the monitor in the Harroman project. 9. Restrictions on Leaf Blowers. Associate Planner Catron presented newly written Ordinance limiting leaf blower use to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and recommended exempting the Town's Public Works Department, the Tiburon Peninsula Club and other special applications, and prohibiting use on holidays. George Landau, 82 Sugarloaf, and Joe Keller, Tiburon Resident, continued to call for a complctc ban during public hearing. Barbara Matthcws, Manager ofTPC, said the club needed leafblowcrs to c1car the tennis courts and wanted a more flexible usage schedule. Tony lacopi, Superintendcnt of Public Works, said the bike path could not be kept as clean with brooms and presented potential liability issucs for the Town. TOWN COUNCIL r\IINUTES 111060 August 2, 1995 4 r- L Doug Kelley, 188 Lyford Drive, said the noise was excessive for people working at home and preferred a complete ban. He favored exempting Public Works. Hearing returned to Council. Councilmember Wolf recommended a complete ban with an exemption for property owners of one acre or more. Councilmember Thayer said the ordinance did not cure the problem of other noisy equipment, such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc. Council member Nygren said the ordinance was an example of overregulation. Councilmember Ginalski recommended some sort of hardship permit to deal with the exemption issue. A motion was made by Mayor Thompson and seconded by Council member Thayer, to adopt the ordinance, limiting use within "residential" areas only. Motion failed with noes from Ginalski, Nygren and Wolf. Town Manager Kleinert suggested referring the ordinance to the Public Services Committee for further work. Motion was made and passed unanimously. 11. Mill Vallev Refuse Franchise Agreement. Town staff recommended a 10-year extension. Attorney AI Bianchi, representing MVRS, said the company had asked for an extension to 2015 in order to amortize equipment costs and plan for capital improvements. He said other Marin cities had 15 and 20-year contracts. He said the Town had received excellent service and cooperation from the company and that they would work together to meet and maintain the goals set by AB939. He assured Council that the Town would have a "favored-nation" clause ifit was the first to sign the renewal before the other cities (Belvedere and Mill Valley). Council continued item until first meeting in September with prior review by the Public Services Committee. 13. Red & White Ferrv Service to Candlestick Park. Councilmember Ginalski expressed concern about potential parking problems for such an event or service. Terry Koenig, Red & White Fleet, said that 75% of the tickets had been purchased by Tiburon Peninsula residents. Council continued item to next meeting to see if there were any problems on August 6. 12. Downtown Main Street ADA Compliance. Town Engineer Mohammadi showed drawing of potential solution which would require raising t-.lain Street and resurfacing the sidewalks, the cost of which could be shared by the property owners. During public hearing, Tom Purdy, 19 1\'[ain Street, said it would be cheaper for him to install two ramps with railings and that he had submitted plans to the Building Department. Attorney Frankovich. representing plaintifTs in the lawsuit. said he thought thc Town Engineer's drawing looked acceptable. lIe also said that II entrances needed to be made accessible.

Kleinert, Town Mgr. Town of Tiburon 1155 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon 94920 Dear Bob: Re: Gas Powered Leaf Blowers 1. Because of the very loud noises and pollutions, three of our neighboring cities have completely banned gas blowers. 2. Lani Valentine, mayor of Belvedere, reports no problems with enforcement, unkempt yards or gardeners since the ordinance passed. The City Clerk of Mill Valley reports the same. I have not contacted Ross. 3. The City of San Anselmo restricts blower use to three days a week, and from only 1 to 4 P.M. on those days. 4. I have five(5) immediate neighbors who employ five different gardeners who use gas blowers. They come a number of different times throughout the month. That is too much. 5. Gas leaf blowers seem to be operated incessantly. Using a gas leaf blower for an hour pollutes as much as driving a car for 2 1/2 hour s. (Maybe it is because they don I t have catalytic converters.) Their pollution includes dust, gasses, clippings, leaves and pollen which more often than not are just blown into the surrounding shrubbery. 6. In regards to special exemptions: A tennis court can be swept in about fifteen minutes with a three foot brush (Which is the way it was done before blowers). That is only a few minutes more than it takes for a blower and a brush still has to be used to pick up. Less pollution for players. As for the bike path, a large brush towed by the truck would work just as well and would be considerably faster. Get rid neighbors have. ~ L.J./Ke 699Bi ary Dr. Ti b~r an L/ P.S.

Attn: Dan Catron Dear Mr. Catron: In reference to the public hearing on September 20th to consider a gas-powered leaf blower ordinance, be advised that the Board of Directors of the Lyford's Cove - Old Tiburon Homeowners Association supports a total ban on gas powered leaf blowers. The Board Members at our last meeting cited instances where the engine driven devices disrupt their peaceful privacy on a daily basis. Also, it was felt that the blowers were ineffective and other garden tools could better accomplish the task rather than the "MJw, Blow and Go" method. If the Town Council chooses to limit the hours of operation, then the most restrictive regulation would be reco rnmended. Very truly yours, JAd-vv~ cY' I5~J~ Franklin J. Buscher President EXHIBIT NO.

General Description of the Project & Site: Project consists of a single fami Iy residence, pool. house, pool, tennis court, and other elements as shown on the Site Plan/ ,Bui Iding Envelope and Fencing plan dated 10/28/92. The property is zoned RPO and consists of approximately 5 acres. The site is bordered on 3 sides by the "Ring Mountain Preserve" and on the east side by open space and one residence. 2. Design Concept: Separate elements of the residence are to be located at different levels, stair-stepping up the slope from the entrance al lowing maximum views from each level. Tarraced gardens extend below each level withpool and tennis court below. Stepped 3'-4' high planting beds wil I provide a graceful, lush transition between each level. 3. Transportation Analysis: There are no changes proposed in the pedestrian, vehicle and emergency access to the site. The private drive which serves the property from the end of Taylor Road wi I I have a gate at Taylor Road operated by remote contro I . A "turn around" exists at the end of the drive and wil I be maintained. Guest parking for 3 cars wil I be provided in addition to the 2 car garage. The project wil I have no significant impact on adjacent streets. 4. . Building Areas: The residence building consists of approximately 6,000 sq. on the main floor, 1200 sq. divided between 2nd floor and areas below the main floor. The pool house is 800 sq. The garage 650 sq. The garage and the pool house wi I I be below grade as shown. 5. Views: Views from the lower portion of the lot to the southeast area obscured by a row of mature Monterey Pines on the adjacent property and by the Tiburon Penninsula. Views above the tree tops extend from Sausal ito to the San R~f~el Richmond Bridge. A view study map is included. APPRO'.'ED S'{ CITY CCUi\ICIL 0,; TE -1J - 4-: q.1..

The maximum height shall be 25 feet for the residence and 15 feet for al I other structures. 8. Slope: A slope map is included showing that al I the structure on land slope less than 30%, with the tennis court and pool on the flatter portions of the lot. 9. Storm Drainage, Sewer and Publ ic Uti I ities: The lot is served by the Corte Madera Sanitary District #2, MMWD, P.G. & E. P.T. & T., & Cable TV. AI I services are underground. 10. Landscaping: The terraces, stepped planters and the area immediately adjacent to the house wi I I be landscaped_ A grove of native trees wi I I be situated between the driveway and the tennis court. The remainder .of the property wi I 1 remain in its natural state. A complete landscape plan wi I I be submitted for review with the design review appl ication. 11. Accoustical Analysis: The only potential acoustical problem are the sounds created by tennis players. However, the court is situated so as to mitigate this potential problem. The nearest residence to the northeast is more than 180' distant horizontally and at least 60' in elevation below the court. The other residence to the southeast is 270' distant horizontally and 62' in elevation below the court. As sounds tend to be directed upward and disipate with distance no negative impact is expected. : i. ~ , ~ :. ..:. p. J 0+ :J..

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning commission held a pUblic hearing on the application on September 13, 1995, and adopted Resolution No. 95-16 (Exhibit B) recommending conditional approval of the amendments as shown in Resolution No. 95-16. Only one issue of concern remains for the applicant. At the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant voiced serious concerns about the language adopted in Condition No. 5 concerning the hammerhead turnaround located above the Parcel 2 building envelope. Apparently, the applicants had designed the hammerhead turnaround area larger than that required by the Fire District in order to provide driveway access to Parcel 2 and provide for additional guest parking. Staff was unable to verify this at the meeting without discussion with the Fire District, and urged the Commission to assume for the moment that the entire hammerhead area was required by the Fire District. TlBURON TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT 9/20195 1 Following the meeting, staff was able to verify these facts with the Fire Chief, who kindly provided a drawing of the actual hammerhead area needed by the Fire District (see Exhibit C). The Fire District has no objection to permanent parking spaces being located in the excess portions of the hammerhead turnaround. The Fire Chief appeared supportive of any measure which would keep people from parking on stevens Court itself. staff also met with the project architect following the meeting, and is convinced that some portion of the hammerhead area will need to be used as a driveway approach to Parcel 2. Given the building envelope height limits previously imposed by the Town, it does not appear that all four required parking spaces could be provided on Parcel 2 without some use of the hammerhead area. with these facts in hand, Staff would recommend that Condition No. 5 be revised to read as follows: A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and stevens Court on the driveway approach to the residence. The hammerhead area, as required for emergency vehicle turnaround by the Tiburon Fire Protection District, is defined as shown on attached Exhibit "B". The wings of the hammerhead may be available for parking, one wing to be used by Parcel 2 as a driveway and count for required parking, and the other wing shall be available for excess guest parking within the subdivision. Both Exhibit B to the draft Town Council Resolution and the applicant's suggested language for Condition No.5 are attached as Exhibit D to the Staff Report. Staff has revised the applicant's proposed language somewhat. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt the draft Resolution (Exhibit E), which includes the revised Condition No.5.

At the latest amendment hearing before the Planning Commission on June 28, 1995, it became clear that the requirement for four parking spaces within each of the site's three building envelopes would be highly problematical. However, since the parking issue was not part of the application before the Commission and had not been publicly noticed, the Commission was unable to address the issue at that meeting. The applicant was informed that a separate application would be required to address the parking issue. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 9/1319.5 1 EXHIBIT No.A ( ( The applicant has filed for the modification of the parking- related condition, as well as to clearly establish that fencing is allowed outside of the building envelopes. PROPOSAL , ANALYSIS Parking The applicant is requesting that Condition No. 13 of Town Council resolution No. 2261, adopted in 1984, be revised to allow guest parking spaces to be located outside of the building envelope. The condition, as amended by Resolution No. 477-90 adopted in 1990, currently reads as follows: Two guest parking spaces shall be provided on each site, within the building envelope, for a total of a minimum of four spaces per unit. Revised language as proposed by the applicant is as follows: Four parking spaces shall be provided on site, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and the street on the driveway approach. Staff supports the thrust of the request, since it is apparent that providing four parking spaces within each building envelope would be an amazing feat given the topography of the site. Staff is unaware of any other Precise Plan with such an unorthodox condition, and cannot justify its imposition in this case. Staff's main concern is that the relocated guest parking be placed near the homes and not blocking vehicular passage along the Stevens Court. The applicant's proposed language resolves this concern; however, Staff suggests some wording changes such that the finalized condition read as follows: . A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and Steven's Court on the driveway approach to the residence. Parking spaces shall not be located in a manner which would interfere with vehicular access along Stevens Court. This language is included as Condition No. 4 of the draft Resolution (Exhibit 1). Fencing The applicant is also requesting that the issue of fencing outside of building envelopes be addressed in the Precise Plan. The Precise Plan is currently silent on this issue. TlBURON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT W1~.5 2 ( ( The applicant-proposed language is as follows: Fencing shall be allowed to be built at the property lines but shall not interfere with the road easement. staff believes that Precise Plans of this vintage (1980) did not address fencing because the normal Zoning Ordinance provisions concerning fencing were intended to apply. These are the same provisions which apply to all surrounding homes in the vicinity of the project. Later in the 1980's, as Tiburon began to approve developments on the open hillsides and ridgelines, some Precise Plans included language limiting or prohibiting fences outside of building envelopes, in order to preserve the open view of the hillsides and ridgelines for the general public. Given the very low pUblic visibility of this site, being tucked into a rather narrow draw, staff believes that the ordinary provisions of the Zoning Ordinance with respect to fencing are most appropriate. staff's recommended language for addressing the fencing issue is as follows: Building envelopes for the three parcels are shown on the drawing dated 6/22/95 by the Bradley Group, Sheet SP1, on file with the Town of Tiburon Planning Department. No structures shall be permitted outside the approved building envelope for each parcel except driveways, retaining walls associated with driveways, and fencing. The Design Review Board shall review all proposed fencing more than 3~ feet in height for compatibility with surrounding development. This language is contained in Condition No. 2 of the draft Resolution. Consolidation of Conditions Town Staff is very concerned that the repeated amendments to this Precise Plan over the course of the last several years has created a very confusing situation for both Town Staff and applicants. Resolutions No. 2261 (1980), No. 477-90 (1990), No. 3087 (1995), and No. 3101 (1995) leave a difficult trail to follow when processing applications for homes on the site. Modifications approved through this application would only make matters more complex and the Staff more prone to make errors. Staff has therefore taken the opportunity (with the blessing of the applicant) to review and consolidate the previous approvals and amendments into one clear and concise resolution which contains all the remaining applicable conditions of approval, and TleuRON PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Q/13/~5 3 ( ( refers only to the currently approved drawings. All previous resolutions would be superseded as they relate to the Precise Plan. The majority of conditions in the various resolutions pertain to pre-subdivision requirements which were long ago fulfilled; several others are duplicates. Staff has been careful to ensure that all pertinent conditions have been carried over into the new draft Resolution. staff is hopeful that the Commission will find the draft Resolution a substantial improvement over the current jumbled state of affairs for this Precise Plan.

A. On September 19, 1984, the Tiburon Town Council approved a Master Plan, Precise Plan and Tentative Map for the Fraige subdivision. The Precise Plan, in Resolution No. 2261, established development parameters (inClUding primary building envelopes and maximum house sizes) for 3 single family lots. Some of the conditions of this Resolution were modified by the adoption in 1990 of Planning commission Resolution No. 477-90. B. On April 19, 1995, the Tiburon Town Council approved an amendment to the approved Precise Plan by adopting Resolution No. 3087, which modified the building envelope locations and imposed special height restrictions on the portions of the building envelopes which were modified. C. On July 5, 1995, the Town Council approved Resolution No. 3101 which further amended the Precise Plan by modifying building envelopes and height restrictions. . D. The Planning Commission has received and considered an application filed by Monahan Pacific to further amend the Fraige Precise Plan to eliminate the requirement that four parking spaces be located within the building envelope for each parcel, and to allow for fencing outside of the building envelope. The application consists of the following: 1. Application form received 8/23/95. 2. Letter from Monahan Pacific dated 8/29/95. 3. site Plan and Sections, Sheets SP, SP-1, and SP-2, prepared by the Bradley Group dated 6/22/95. E. Because of the numerous previous modifications to the Fraige Precise Plan, involving four prior resolutions, the Town is Tiburon Planning Commission Resolution No. 95.0RAFT 9f13/95 1 EXHIBIT NO.--1- ( ( taking this opportunity to consolidate the remaining applicable conditions of approval on the Precise Plan. F. The official record for this project is hereby incorporated and made part of this resolution. The record includes the Staff Reports, minutes, application materials, and all comments and materials received at the pUblic hearing. G. The Planning commission held a duly-noticed public hearing on September 13, 1995, and heard and considered testimony from interested persons. H. The Planning Commission finds the proposed parking and fencing amendments recommended herein represent reasonable limitations on the development of the property, in keeping with the pattern of development in the surrounding neighborhood. The Commission further finds that the proposed amendments, as conditioned, will not adversely . affect other properties in the vicinity. Consolidation of the remaining applicable conditions of approval will reduce future confusion as individual home applications are processed. I. The Planning commission has found that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. Section ~ Approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning commission of the Town of Tiburon does hereby recommend to the Town Council approval of an amendment to, and consolidation of, the conditions of approval for the Fraige Precise Development Plan as ~ollows: 1. This Precise Plan approves three residential building sites for single family detached homes. 2. Building envelopes for the three parcels are shown on the drawing dated 6/22/95 by the Bradley Group, Sheet SP1, on file with the Town of Tiburon Planning Department. No structures shall be permitted outside the approved building envelope for each parcel except driveways, retaining walls associated with driveways, and fencing. The Design Review Board shall review all proposed fencing more than 3~ feet in height for compatibility with surrounding development. 3. All structures located within those highlighted portions of the building envelopes for Parcels 1 and 2, as shown on the attached Exhibit "A", shall be limited to 20 feet in height as measured from existing grade along the uphill edge of the building envelope and extending horizontally across the Tiburon Planning Commission Resolution No. 95-DRAFT 9/13/95 2 ( ( area of restricted height. No flat roofs shall be permitted within the restricted height area. At no point shall any structure exceed 30 feet above existing grade in any portion of a building envelope. 3. The maximum gross floor area for each parcel shall not exceed 3,600 square feet, including the garage. 4. A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and stevens Court on the driveway approach to the residence.

Said plan shall provide for an appropriate landscape screen between the private access roadway and adjacent upslope properties. This screening shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the first house in the subdivision. The purpose of the landscaping shall be to screen views of the access road from the upslope neighboring properties. The screen shall be designed to use a variety of plant species and types for the purpose of creating an informal and natural-looking screen rather than a formal and monotonous hedge. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit ror the subdivision, a monetary security adequate to ensure the installation and maintenance of the landscape screening shall be deposited with the Town. The deposit shall be refunded not less than three (3) years after satisfactory completion and successful establishment of the landscape screen. 7.

It is intended that the total area of the envelope equal the area of the envelope as originally approved for the subdivision. In addition, a reduced height limit of 15 feet shall be applied to the relocated portions of the envelope as described in Condition #3 below. -The building envelope for Parcel 2 is moved eastward (uphill) between 17 and 36 feet. The geometry of the envelope is changed from a rectangle to parallelogram as shown on Exhibit A. In addition, a reduced height limit of 15 feet shall be applied to the relocated portions of the envelope as described in Condition #3 below. -The building envelope for Parcel 3 is moved eastward (uphill) 3 feet. 2.

Fire Marshall Town ofTiburon Re: The use of the Hammerhead at Steven.s Court The driveway hammerhead off of Steven's Court was designed to serve two purposes. First. to provide access and turn around space for fIre trucks and other service vehicles; and second. to serve as a driveway for the home on which property it lies. To facilitate the fIrst purpose the hammerhead was increased in size from the original design shown on the precise plan on record with the town of Tiburon to be 35' long from the center of Steven's court to the end of the hammerhead and 30' wide, as currently depicted on the drawing by The Bradley Group dated 6121195. This space, that is perpendicu!arto Steven's Court, fulfills the needs of the fire department and the wings of the hammerhead need not be included as part of the hammer head to so. The second purpose of the hammerhead is to serve as a driveway for the house whose front yard and vehicle access it would otherwise greatly diminish. The wings of the hammerhead are intended to be utilized solely by the home owner as a driveway and should be available to be used as any nonnal dnveway would be by the homeowner. Guest parking in the wings of the hanuner head do not interfere with the needs of the fire department and can be used, as far as the fIre department is concerned, as part of the required parking space for the home whose property it encroaches.. f7~$:oration John Sorg ~ Project Dcvelopment Manager ~:-B. \~-->""' C\. \'\ --- C\S- EXHIBIT No.L 1040 B Street _ SUite 300 .

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON AMENDING THE FRAIGE PRECISE PLAN (PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 31) AND SUPERSEDING PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS THEREFOR (1, 5 & 9 STEVENS COURT) ASSESSOR PARCEL ~ 58-111-25. 22 k 22 WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does resolve as follows: Section ~ Findings. A. On September 19, 1984, the Tiburon Town Council approved a Master Plan, Precise Plan and Tentative Map for the Fraige subdivision. The Precise Plan, in Resolution No. 2261, established development parameters (including building envelopes and maximum house sizes) for three (3) single family lots. Some of the conditions of this Resolution were modified by the adoption in 1990 of Planning commission Resolution No. 477-90. B. On April 19, 1995, the Tiburon Town Council approved an amendment to the Precise Plan by adopting Resolution No. 3087, which modified the building envelope locations and imposed special height restrictions on portions of building envelopes. C. On July 5, 1995, the Town Council approved Resolution No. 3101 which further amended the Precise Plan by modifying building envelopes and height restrictions. D. The Town Council has received and considered an application filed by Monahan Pacific to further amend the Fraige Precise Plan to modify the requirement that four parking spaces be located within the building envelope for each parcel, and to allow for fencing outside of the building envelope. The application consists of the following: 1. Application form received 8/23/95. 2. Letter from Monahan Pacific dated 8/29/95. 3. site Plan and Sections, Sheets SP, SP-l, and SP-2, prepared by the Bradley Group dated 6/22/95. The Planning commission reviewed the application at a public hearing held on September 13, 1995 and adopted Resolution No. 95-16 recommending approval of the application and consolidation of previous conditions of approval. Tiburon Town Council Resolution No 9/20/95 1 EXHIBIT NO.~ E. Because of the numerous previous modifications to the Fraige Precise Plan, involving four prior resolutions, the Town Council with assent of the applicant is taking this opportunity to consolidate the remaining applicable conditions of approval on the Precise Plan, and supersede the previous Resolutions approving the Precise Plan. F. The official record for this project is hereby incorporated and made part of this resolution. The record includes the Staff Reports, minutes, application materials, and all comments and materials received at the public hearing. G. The Town Council held a dUly-noticed public hearing on September 20, 1995, and heard and considered testimony from interested persons. H. The Town Council finds the parking and fencing amendments approved herein represent reasonable limitations on the development of the property, in keeping with the pattern of development in the surrounding neighborhood. The Town Council further finds that the proposed amendments, as conditioned, will not adversely affect other properties in the vicinity. Consolidation of the remaining applicable conditions of approval will reduce future confusion as individual home applications are processed. I. The Town Council finds that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. section ~ Approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council Commission of the Town of Tiburon does hereby approve amendments to, and consolidate herein, the previously-adopted conditions of approval for the Fraige Precise Plan (Planned Development No. 31) as follows: 1. This Precise Plan approves three building sites for single family detached homes. 2. Building envelopes for the three parcels are shown on the drawing dated 6/22/95 by the Bradley Group, Sheet SP1, on file with the Town of Tiburon Planning Department. No structures shall be permitted outside the approved building envelope for each parcel except driveways, retaining walls associated with driveways, and fencing. All fencing, even if less than 3\ feet in height, shall receive site Plan & Architectural Review approval. Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 9/20/95 2 3. All structures located within those highlighted portions of the building envelopes for Parcels 1 and 2, as shown on the attached Exhibit "A", shall be limited to 20 feet in height as measured from existing grade along the uphill edge of the building envelope and extending horizontally across the area of restricted height. No flat roofs shall be permitted within the restricted height area. At no point shall any structure exceed 30 feet above existing grade in any portion of a building envelope. 4. The maximum gross floor area for each parcel shall not exceed 3,600 square feet, including the garage. 5. A minimum of four (4) parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel, two spaces within the building envelope and two spaces between the building envelope and stevens Court on the driveway approach to the residence.

The wings of the hammerhead may be available for parking, one wing to be used by Parcel 2 as a driveway and count for required parking, and the other wing shall be available for excess guest parking within the subdivision. 6. All structures shall be subject to site Plan & Architectural Review approval by the Town. Each residence shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and shall conform with the Tiburon Hillside Design Guidelines. 7. In conjunction with the first Site Plan and Architectural Review application submittal for the sUbdivision, a landscape plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the Design Review Board. Said plan shall provide for an appropriate landscape screen between the private access roadway and adjacent upslope properties. This screening shall be installed in conjunction with the construction of the first house in the subdivision. The purpose of the landscaping shall be to screen views of the access road from the upslope neighboring properties. The screen shall be designed to use a variety of plant species and types for the purpose of creating an informal and natural-looking screen rather than a formal and monotonous hedge. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the subdivision, a monetary security adequate to ensure the installation and maintenance of the landscape screening shall be deposited with the Town. The deposit shall be refunded not less than three (3) years after satisfactory completion and successful establishment of the landscape screen. Tiburon Town Council Resolution No. 9/20/95 3 8.

The site preparation and construction on Parcel 3 shall be carefully performed in order to minimize impacts on nearby trees. Construction fencing shall be installed and maintained along the dripline of potentially affected oak trees prior to the commencement of any grading, site preparation, or construction activity. 10. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for any parcel in the sUbdivision, an appropriate instrument shall be recorded with the Marin County Recorder's Office which modifies the configuration of the Access and utilities Easement shown on PM 5-90 to be consistent with the approved Precise Plan.

She also thanking us for our Margaret reported a bank balance of read a letter from the Last Chance Committee, gift of $500 to their Land Acquisition Fund. V. OLD BUSINESS A. Committee Reports Membership: New members for the quarter are Pat and Frank Brooks, 1731 Centro West, and Anne Sheldon, 2145 Paradise. Architectura Review: Madeleine Wood reported there will be Public Workshops on the Easton (Martha Corp.) property September 12 and 19, in lieu of Planning Commission meet- ings, at the Town Council chambers. 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., where we can express our concerns over this proposed devel- opment (traffic flow, projected 6 trips per house per day etc. ). After a lengthy discussion, it was decided that Madeleine will attend the next Design Review meeting to make a state- ment regarding our concerns for the future of Old Tiburon. The Board agreed that houses are becoming too large for their lot size and are out of character for the neighborhood. Social: Betty Girtler announced that plans for our Fall dinner party have been finalized. It will be held at the San Francisco Yacht Club on October 12. Invitations will be mailed to the membership. Minutes - Board of Directors Meeting August 29, 1995 Page 2 Paths: Upper Raccoon Lane has been cleaned up, and Gary Lucas has cleaned Esperanza Path. Discussion was held regarding possibilitity of erecting discreet signs marking the paths. Library: The Belvedere and Tiburon Councils have appoint- ed a five-person Agency to act as liasion for the New Library and the respective municipalities. B. Tutto Mare Neon Sign: Frank Buscher again met with the Town staff. They have been in contact with the restaur- ant manager, but have taken no action because of personnel changes. C. Shoreline Park "Monuments": Pat Montag reported she had ascertained that Parks & Open Space Commission was given permission by the Council to allow the second "monument", which was installed earlier this year. She was given assurance that there will not be any more. The Board agreed on the desirability of removing the existing markers in favor of less obtrusive flat plaques. D. David Teather Park: Rich Musaill reported that he had written to the Town Manager regarding designation of the park; he is hopeful it will be approved and a small sign erected. E. Green Garden Refuse Cans. which were distributed to home- owners on certain streets, reportedly are being left on the street between pickups. It was agreed that, besides the esthetic conmderation,these cans are a hazard to older people as they are difficult to handle on steep driveways.

Kleinert Town Manager City of Tiburon 1155 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 TOV'JN !\~,i"\Nl\Ur.::R'::, Of'-r<~C;t TO'/VN U::: T!8URCN Dear Mr. Kleinert: We are writing you to request the City of Tiburon's support for the attached resolution which was adopted by the Los Angeles Division of the League of California Cities on August 3, 1995. As you are aware, Division-sponsored resolutions are being forwarded to the League's General Resolutions Committee on October 23, 1995, and then to the General Assembly on October 24, 1995. The subject resolution seeks to redistribute 1 % sales tax from the State to cities. The State currently gets 5% and cities get 1 % of the sales taxes paid on each dollar throughout California. The resolution directs the League to initiate legislative actions, either through the State legislature or through a ballot initiative, to change the percentage split to 4% for the State and 2% to cities. If the shift in sales taxes is accomplished, it would mean that the amount of sales taxes cities now receive would double. In essence, the resolution seeks to shift money from the Sta te to cities using an existing tax mechanism and an existing allocation method. The resolution is relatively simple and in "terms of complexity" stands in sharp contrast to a number of efforts underway on government restructuring, constitutional revision, and modification of the taxation system, Consequently, the proposed resolution should not be compared to these activities. The issue for this resolution is not the structure of government, the constitution, or the taxation system -- it is how much money different agencies receive. We believe cities and counties are getting a disproportionately small share of available revenues. For example, the City of Covina, located in eastern Los Angeles County with a population of 44,000, will receive about $19.8 million in general fund revenue during this next fiscal year from over a dozen sources, including an 8.25% utility users tax. Of this total, sales tax revenue is about $5.7 million. The State will get five times this amount or about $28.5 million - all from Covina transactions. The amount of sales tax revenue going to the State exceeds the City's total general fund revenue from over a dozen sources! And while Covina's budget has been reduced in recent years like a number of other cities and counties throughout California, the State's budget continues to increase, from $53.083 billion in fiscal year 1993-1994 to $57.508 billion in fiscal year 1995-1996, an increase of 8.3%. Page 2 of 2. As most city administrators throughout California know, part of the problem here is that property tax revenue and other funds have been lost due to State takeaways, A recent Los Angeles Times article put the amount of property tax revenue taken away by the State at $3.9 billion. Although many would agree that schools need more funding, it is unlikely that many would agree it should be taken out of the pockets of cities and counties since we have been heavily impacted by numerous State and Federal mandates as well as increased demands for Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Library services amid continuing recession in many parts of the state. Adding to the plight and dismay of cities is the outcome of Proposition 172. Proposition 172 was approved by voters in November 1993 and increased statewide sales taxes a half percent to augment public safety funding, funding for police and fire services. for example. While it appeared that this measure would offset losses in property tax revenue, most cities only receive a small fraction of the money collected from this Proposition due to the formula used to apportion these funds. For example, Los Angeles County received $370 million so far for 1994- 1995 from Proposition 172, yet has allocated only about $35 million to cities in Los Angeles County, less than 10% of the revenues. Of the funds allocated to cities, Covina received $213.000, an amount far less than a half percent sales tax. If these funds were allocated using the formula used to allocate other sales tax revenues, Covina would have received over $2.5 million. We all know what is at stake regarding the financing of local government services. The true impacts of the recession and the need for increased government revenues have been pushed down to the local level by the State. To save many essential services that are now being threatened. we need to form a unified voice to effect the same changes at the State level that we have been forced to make as cities and counties. Through this resolution we are seeking a shift of an estimated $2.8 billion from the State to cities and counties. This amounts to less than a 5% cut in the State's fiscal year 1995-1996 budget. This is not an unreasonable reduction considering the kinds of drastic cuts being made this year by many cities and counties throughout California. We are not seeking a battle with the State over revenue. We simply feel that many local services that are now being jeopardized represent a higher taxpayer priority (e.g., Police and Fire) than other services provided by the State. This is the issue we wish to bring forward with this resolution. We ask that your City Council adopt the attached supporting resolution and either FAX it or mail it to the City of Covina by October 18, 1995. FAX to Covina's City Manager, Mr. Fran Delach at 818/858-5556, or mail it to him at 125 E. College Street, Covina, CA 91723. Following receipt of your supporting resolution, Covina will mail you a lapel pin that is now being produced to promote this effort. If you have any questions about this resolution feel free to call either of us at 818/858-7212. ~d Mayor ~~ City Manager TMO'L/FMD,CAK RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES' RESOLUTION ON SALES TAX REDISTRIBUTION TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT RECENED BY CITIES TO 2%, WHEREAS, the State receives five times as much sales tax revenue as cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the sales tax revenue retained by the State from individual cities often exceeds the general fund budgets of those cities where the sales tax revenue originates; and WHEREAS, cities provide services that directly benefit the quality of life in hundreds of communities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the public benefits of cities' services include the maintenance of property values, reduced risk to health and safety caused by crime, fires, medical emergencies, poor sanitation, and poor building and road construction; and WHEREAS, cities' services provide important cultural and economic benefits through parks and recreation programs, library and senior programs, removal of blight from inner cities and older neighborhoods, and through business attraction efforts that provide jobs; and WHEREAS, the State has acted to reduce the amount of revenue received by cities in recent years forcing many cities throughout California to augment their revenues by imposing local assessments, fees, or taxes - or to make cuts in essential services; and WHEREAS, because cities receive only a small fraction of the money collected through voter-approved Proposition 172 (Public Safety Augmentation Fund), public safety services like police and fire services face drastic financial reductions in many cities throughout California in light of State takeaways and State-imposed mandates; and WHEREAS, many taxpayers object to paying additional taxes for what they view as diminishing local services caused by these factors, especially while the demand for police services, for example, continues to increase due to rising crime; and WHEREAS, on August 3, 1995, the Los Angeles County Division of the League of California Cities adopted a resolution which seeks legislative action that would result in a more equitable distribution of sales tax revenue by shifting 1 % sales tax revenue from the State to cities; and WHEREAS, the League's resolution will help cities provide essential local services without adding more burden to taxpayers; and WHEREAS, on October 24, 1995, the General Assembly of the League of California Cities will vote on this important resolution; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF that the City of does hereby support the League of California Cities' resolution to Redistribute Sales Taxes so that the total received by cities is 2% of the amount paid per dollar on taxable sales. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of 1995. Mayor A TIEST: ADOPTED RESOLUTION OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DIVISION OF THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES --ADOPTED AUGUST 3, 1995-- RESOLUTION TO REDISTRIBUTE SALES TAXES WHEREAS, cities throughout California receive 1 % of the sales taxes paid on each dollar within their jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, the State receives 5% of the sales taxes paid on each dollar in each city throughout California; and WHEREAS, the State has reduced the amount of funding to cities in recent years; and WHEREAS, costs of operating cities have increased in recent years due to a variety of factors, including increases in crime and increases in the number of mandates cities must comply with; and WHEREAS, voters throughout the State are weary of paying additional taxes, fees, and assessments for what they view as diminishing local services; and WHEREAS, the above circumstances have led to drastic cuts in the areas of Police, Fire, Library, Parks and Recreation, and Street Maintenance services by many cities throughout California; and WHEREAS, the effects of such cuts, and. continued erosion of services in these areas will result in increased crime, reduced property values, reduced sales tax revenues, and increased costs to manage cities; and WHEREAS, the voters throughout California seem to consider such local government services a higher priority than many services provided by the State that are funded with. sales tax revenue; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the General Assembly of the League of California Cities assembled in Annual Conference in San Francisco, October 24, 1995, that the League will sponsor legislation or sponsor a ballot initiative effort that will redistribute sales taxes received by the State such that the State's share is 4% and the cities' share is 2% of the sales taxes paid per dollar; and, be it further RESOLVED, that the amount of sales tax revenue to be redistributed shall be allocated to cities using the same method as is currently being used to distribute the existing 1 % share per dollar cities receive. INFORMATION & SOURCES Statewide Tax Rate The statewide sales tax breaks down as follows according to the State Board of Equalization. [Legal references were obtained from Mr. John Waid, Senior Legal Counsel. State Board of Equalization (telephone 916/324-3828), Taxable sales Information is available from the Statistics Section, Planning and Research Division, State Board of Equalization (telephone 916/445-0840)). STATEWIDE SALES TAX BREAKDOWN Percents received by Agencies 5.00% .50% .50% 1.00% .25% 7,25% R & T Code 6051 & 6051,3 R & T Code 6051.2 & 6201,2; W & I 17600 Pro 172 added to State Constitution R & T Code 7202 a R & T Code 7202 d e Notes: "About 10% of the amount apportioned to counties is allocated to cities. except in Alameda County. 'Apportioned by place of sale. Do cities receive 1 % or 1 .25% ? The Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Law (Taxation and Revenue 7200 et seq.), does establish the rate for cities and counties at 1.25 percent. But, according to Mr. John Waid, Senior Legal Counsel, State Board of Equalization, .25 percent is reserved for county transportation programs and goes to counties, This is pursuant to sections 7202(d)(e). Hence, cities do not receive 1.25 percent. but 1 % in non. restricted general funds. Health and Welfare Realionment Prooram The amount designated for county health and social service programs of $1.6 billion (according to Western City, August 1995. p. 4), mostly goes only to counties, according to the Sandy Rogerson, Supervisor of Health and Welfare Program, Apportionment Unit of the State Controller's Office (916/322-5089). This is for the Health and Welfare Realignment Program which was approved and went into effect in 1991. This program is codified in Welfare & Institutions Code, Sections 17600 - 17609,15, Only seven cities statewide receive any funds for this program (San Francisco, Berkeley, Pasadena, Long Beach, and a Tri-City group). OVER Public Safetv Funds These funds were voter approved through Prop 172 in November of 1993 and amount to a .5% sales tax. They are designated for counties and cities that were subject to the property tax shift and are apportioned to counties based on their percentage of statewide taxable sales. Counties allocate funds to cities based on a formula established in Government Code Sections 30052-30054. According to Mr. Lyman Jeung, Principal Accountant of the LA County Auditor's Office (telephone 213/974-8362), and as stated in the Code, there is a limit on how much cities can receive from Prop 172 revenue -- 50% of the amount shifted in property taxes after deducting vehicle registration fee revenue. For example. if a city lost $1 million in property tax revenue but received $200,000 in vehicle registration fee revenue, then the city could receive no more than $400,000 in Prop 172 revenue (1,000,000 - 200,000 = 800,000 " .50 = 400,000). LA County received $370 million in fiscal year 94-95 (less 1 month) and retained $335 million; cities in LA County were apportioned about $35 million -- less than 10% of the total apportioned to LA County by the State. Mr. Lyman says that counties lost a greater share of property tax revenue during the shift and this is why counties receive a larger share of sales tax revenue from this source. According to Ms. Kwong- McGee at the State Controller's Office (916/324-8365), a number of cities are now complaining how little funding they actually receive -- in some cases counties are retaining up to 95% of these revenues. As an example of what this has meant to cities consider the following example. Prop 172 ushered in a 1/2 cent or .5% sales tax. A 1% sales tax results in $5.7 million to the City of Covina (population 44,000) when it is apportioned based on place of sale. Yet, the 1/2 cent sales tax imposed by Prop 172 resulted in only $213,000 to Covina last year. This has to do with the formula set forth in Government Code Section 30054. If this allocation formula was changed to return the funds based on place of sale, Covina's revenue designated for public safety services would increase by over $2.5 million per year.
