\. Shoreline Park Sculpture Exhibit
At its November \8, \996 meeting, the Heritage & Arts Commission moved to table any further
discussion of an outdoor sculpture exhibit along Shoreline Park (or anywhere else in Town) until
the Lookout Sculpture Park West organization can provide the Commission with the site- and
size-specific proposal that was requested of them.
2. Landmarks Society Art & Garden Center
On November \4, \996, Jayni Allsep sent a memo to the Commission asking for their review of
the proposed changes to the old brick kiln bunkhouse on the former Newman property at 84\
Tiburon Bouelvard. By the attached memorandum, dated November 20, the Commission
forwarded to the Planning Commission their approval and endorsement of the historical
restoration portion of the Landmarks Society's project.

DATE: NOVEMBER 20,1996
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: HERITAGE & ARTS COMMISSION
SUBJECT: 841 TIBURON BOULEVARD - ART & GARDEN CENTER
The Tiburon Heritage & Arts Commission enthusiastically endorses the Belvedere-
Tiburon Landmarks Society proposal, as contained in a land use application dated July
24, 1996, to restore and preserve the brick kiln bunkhouse and the existing gardens
located on the Newman property at 841 Tiburon Boulevard. The Commission also
endorses the use of the building to exhibit the art and artifacts for the history of
Belvedere and Tiburon, and as the Society's administrative office.
As to the proposed additional buildings subject to land use and zoning restrictions, and
to adequate traffic flow and parking, and architectural compatibility with the existing
structure, the construction and use of the buildings seems appropriate. We expect the
Landmarks Society will abide by the historic codes applicable to their situation and that
the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation will be applied. (See attachment)
Since some of the more recent structural changes, particularly to the brick kiln
bunkhouse and the gardens have existed since 1946 (50 years ago), historic codes
still apply to these alterations and the landscaping as well. It is clear some modification
in the gardens will have to be made to fit current concerns.
We are delighted to see the Landmarks Society expects to restore the gardens'
according to the Newman's plan which we understand placed considerable emphasis
on the cultivation of native California plants. The Landmarks Society has an excellent
record of historic stewardship and we are positive they will continue to maintain this
superb role for the community.
Cordially,

6. New Town Hall and Police Facilities.
A) Progress Report by Building Advisory Committee. Chair Wilson said the project was more
than 50% complete. He stated that the project was almost at the limit of its approved contingency
fee of$125,000, and that the Architect's fees were coming close to their limit, as well.
Wilson said that furniture, fixtures and equipment had not been included in the project costs, and
new furniture would run about $100,000. He said the Town would re-use some of the existing
furniture, such as the stacking chairs in the Chambers which could be cleaned and used in the
meeting room upstairs in the new Town Hall.
Wilson proposed that the furniture be put out to bid, and that the Town buy it as it acquired
funding in the future. Council concurred and directed Chair Wilson to proceed with the bidding
process.
Wilson also mentioned that the contractor, Midstate Construction, had filed a Notice of Claim for
delays due to work on the upstairs dormer.
B) Police Facility Program & Design Status. Building Advisory Committee Chair Wilson
reviewed the letter agreement from Eric Glass which Wilson said represented a good outline of
the scope of work.
Mayor Wolf asked why the proposal was so high if Glass had already done a substantial amount
of the [design] work. Wilson concurred that a lot of the work had been done and said the final
contract had not yet been negotiated. He also stated that a schematic design was needed by
December 15 in order for the Town to apply for the Police Building/Emergency Operations
Center grant.

C) Building Advisory Committee Composition. Town Manager Kleinert said that Evelyn Woo
could no longer serve on the Committee and asked Council to consider appointing John Hoffmire
to fill the vacancy. He said Hoffmire had volunteered his time for fund-raising. Council
unanimously agreed to the appointment.
D) New Town Hall Security and Fire Alarm System. Chair Wilson said that even though Council
had previously given authorization to proceed, additional prices had come in and the Council
Project Subcommittee [consisting of Thayer and Thompson] had deadlocked on the issue.
Mayor Wolf said the Joint Recreation Department who did not want alarms in their space. Wolf
continued to express concern that the alarms would be set offby accident.
Town Manager Kleinert said the new proposal would secure the two entryways into the Town
Administrative Offices. Chair Wilson said the proposal included securing 43 windows on the
periphery of the building, as well.
During public hearing, Karen Nygren, 22 Paseo Mirasol, said the proposal for installation of a
panic button was a good idea. Chief of Police Herley agreed.
Councilmember Ginalski said Council had already authorized the wiring for windows and
doorways, with the idea of activating the system at a later date, if needed. He said he would not
support the new proposal.
/ Councilmembers Thompson, Thayer, Wolf & Hennessy, after debating the pros and cons of the
"",'panic button," agreed to go along with the updated proposal.
7) Flood Plain Property Adjacent to New Town Hall & Library - Parks & Open Space Request
for Funding to Hire Landscape Architect.
Jordan Eth, Chair of Parks & Open Space, said there was a lot of momentum now for the project
and said it was a good time to hire a landscape architect.
Mayor Wolf said that she had talked to Jim Wilson and proposed that the Building Advisory
Committee write a project description which would include POSC's recommendations and the
Town Engineer's requirements, as well as obtain estimates for the cost of the project.
Wolf said the Town Attorney recommended three bids even though the Town was not
constrained by a formal bidding process for this project.
Mayor Wolf also asked if the Mar West path was within the defined boundaries of the Flood
Plain. Town Engineer Mohammadi said the Flood Plain was about 15-20 feet away from the
path, and Town Attorney Danforth clarified that the Development Agreement said the
improvements could be made only to the Flood Plain.

Town Attorney Danforth said it was appropriate to put the project description out to bid even
though the litigation with Innisfree Companies was still pending.
Jim Wilson said the Building Advisory Committee members had the background needed to
integrate the Library and Town Hall properties into the plan, and noted that the Town Engineer
was an ex officio member of the committee, as well.
Council directed Wilson and the Building Advisory Committee to proceed with writing a project
description encompassing the Park & Open Space Commission's prior recommendations and the
Town Engineer's requirements, and to solicit proposals. The Committee would then forward the
proposals to the Parks & Open Space Commission, which would in turn make a recommendation
to Council.
I. NEW BUSINESS
9. Household Hazardous Waste Program - Authorize Marin County Solid Waste JPA to
Implement Program.
Karen Nygren, 22 Paseo Mirasol, said she absolutely supported the program but asked who
would fund it.
Town Manager Kleinert said the ratepayers would pay for the program on their refuse bills. He
said he thought it would be a new charge but he was not certain because there already existed
various hazardous waste collection events throughout the year. He said that the new program
foresaw a hazardous waste collection site somewhere in Southern Marin (rather than in San
Rafael), and that Mill Valley Refuse Service was applying for a permit to operate a site.
Council asked for more details about costs to be presented in future.
MOTION:
To adopt the Resolution Authorizing Marin County Solid Waste JPA to
Implement the Household Hazardous Waste Program.
Hennessy, Seconded by Thompson

participation in a countywide program whereby the issuance of permits to taxi drivers would be
tied to mandatory drug and alcohol testing in order to comply with Senate Bill 46. The Marin
County Transit District would implement the program on behalf of the cities.

12. New Beginnings Campaign - Year-round Residential & Job Training Center for Homeless
Adults as part of Hamilton Re-use Plan.
Town Manager Kleinert said he had heard a presentation about the program at the Marin
Manager's Meeting and that each city would be asked to support the program to address the issue
of homeless in Marin County at the rate of $1. 00 per capita of population. Kleinert proposed to
use the Town's low & moderate in-lieu fees. He said the New Beginnings group had already
raised $1.4 million of the $2.5 million needed for the project.
Vice Mayor Thayer said he had been on one of the original committees that studied the problem
and noted the frustrations of not being able to coordinate funding and sites. He said the proposal
was a golden opportunity to effectively fund a viable program.
Councilmember Hennessy said $1.00 per person was an inexpensive way to fund the program and
that the Hamilton Plan would provide 80-100 people a chance for rehabilitation and dignity.
Councilmember Ginalski agreed but said he was not prepared to vote to authorize funds until he
heard an official presentation.
MOTION:
To Use Moderate or Low Income Funds or General Funds if needed to Support
the New Beginnings Program at Hamilton.

the purchase of a one-bedroom was complete and that he was proceeding with the purchase of a
two-bedroom unit that had just become available.
IS. Downtown Task Force. Town Manager Kleinert said the committee wanted to do a survey
and would request funding from Tiburon and Belvedere.
14. Town Engineer's Status Reports.
A) Elephant Rock. Town Engineer Mohammadi said some changes had been made and the plans
would be presented to the Parks & Open Space Commission next week. He said he was still
looking for funding sources.
B) Main Street ADA. Mohammadi said the next step was to meet with the property owners to
discuss the project estimates of $175,000 - $200,000, including design and engineering costs.
He said consultant Richard Skaff was looking for a block grant but it looked like funding from
that source would not be available. Mohammadi asked for a subcommittee of Council to address
the issue. Mayor Wolf and Council member Hennessy agreed to continue in that capacity.

C) Downtown Ferry Dock. Mohammadi said he had met with the McDonoghs and two Point
Tiburon Boardmembers, as well as the Pt. Tiburon Property Manager. He said they seemed to be
more receptive after meeting at the docks and seeing that the line of sight [under the revised
plans] would not be an issue. Mohammadi said the next step would be to reactivate the State
Funds by amending the original application.
H. PUBLIC HEARING
8. Appeal of Planning Director's Decision to Modify the Conditions of Approval for a Dog
Training FacilitylHome Occupation Permit at 35 Hacienda Drive - Janice Kase, Owner/Appellant.
Planning Director Anderson said the appellant claimed confusion about the date of denial of the
Conditional Use Permit and had made that issue part of her appeal.
Mayor Wolf pointed out that Anderson's September 12 letter to the Appellant clearly spelled it
out. Councilmember Ginalski concurred that the time to file an appeal on that issue had run out.
Council agreed to hear only the Appeal of the Conditions of the Home Occupation Permit.
Planning Director Anderson said the Town was using its police powers to protect the condition of
the neighborhood.
Mark Scott, Attorney representing the Appellant, said that Jan Kase as a resident could have up
to three dogs but that Condition NO.2 of the permit limited her to two dogs on the premises, and
that Condition NO.3 limited her to one dog kept overnight. Scott said placing these conditions
on the Appellant were an abuse of power and did not serve any legitimate purpose. He noted that
the Town ordinance cited in the permit only limited traffic.
Scott also said that there was an issue of estoppel, specifically that when Ms. Kase applied for her
business license, no one at Town Hall said she would need a Home Occupation Permit.
Hearing returned to Council.
Mayor Wolf asked for clarification of the on-site parking specification of the permit.
Planning Director Anderson said one additional off-street parking space was standard and if there
was an employee, another space would be needed. He said the neighbors expressed concern
about maneuverability when the Appellant had visitors.
Town Attorney Danforth said there was no issue of estoppel, since the Home Occupation Permit
could be issued only if there was no adverse impact on the neighborhood. Danforth said it was
appropriate to visit the site after the fact.
Mohammad Sadrieh, Planning Commissioner, said the Commission's opinion was that a full-time
dog training facility or kennel was incompatible with the neighborhood and inconsistent with
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #1100
November 6, 1996

.
,
Town ordinances. He said the Commission issued a six-month conditional use permit which
limited adverse impacts on the neighbors because Ms. Kase said she needed six months in order to
move her business elsewhere.
Sadrieh said the Condition limiting the number of dogs on the premises pertained to dogs other
than the ones she owned. He said the same applied to dogs kept overnight.
Mayor Wolf asked Sadrieh ifit was his opinion that if Ms. Kase complied with the conditions of
the pennit it would be enough to alleviate the problems.
Sadrieh replied that the Planning Commission did not address that issue, but thought the problem
remained that Kase's business was inappropriate for the neighborhood. He reiterated that the six-
month permit was a grace period only.
Councilmember Hennessy asked if the Commission considered revoking the permit entirely.
Sadrieh said it was considered but the majority of commissioners thought that the type of business
(dog training) was an important one to the community, so it would not be justified to ask her to
leave altogether.
Mayor Wolf opened the public hearing.
Frank Mulberg, 66 Hacienda, said the revocation was delayed and conditions were placed instead
because Kase said she was leaving.
Barry Jones, 75 Hacienda, adjacent to the Kase property, said the focus of the neighbors was not
on parking, and that [Kase] had been a nuisance for years. He said the Planning Commission
went overboard in listening to her arguments and urged the Council to uphold the decision.
Peter Hansen, 27 Hacienda, said there was a problem with a 10' wide road and that Kase had
placed rocks at the end of the road which prevented emergency vehicles from going through.
Rick Hicks, 21 Tanfield Road, contiguous to the Kase property, said the human factor was being
overlooked. He said he was deprived of sleep because of the noise of parking dogs at night, and
that the Marin Humane Society was upset because there were 15-20 animals there at a time.
John Hansen said he liked dogs but that Kase was a miserable person who had gotten meaner and
meaner. He said she continued to operate the kennel.
During his rebuttal, Mark Scott said the business was valuable to the community and that no one
knew anything about it until the Humane Society got involved.
Hearing returned to Council.
Councilmember Thompson asked for clarification of the expiration date of the permit. Planning
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #1100
November 6, 1996

,
Director Anderson said it would expire 180 days from the date of issuance which, because of the
appeal, would run from the date of the Council hearing.
Thompson said Kase's use was not consistent with what was represented or envisioned when she
applied for her permit, and had gone on way too long.
Vice Mayor Thayer said the use must be secondary to the residence and Kase's use clearly was a
violation and adversely affected the neighborhood.
Councilmember Ginalski quoted Ross Perot by saying, "This dog just doesn't hunt." He
recommended remanding the decision to the Planning Commission for revocation of the permit.
Councilmember Hennessy said the appellant had abused the process and called for immediate
revocation of the permit by Council.
Mayor Wolf said the kennel was unacceptable but wondered if there was a way to have a
reasonable home occupation permit. However, she said she would vote with Thompson and
Thayer to deny the appeal.
MOTION:
To deny the Appeal of Jan Kase of Conditions of Approval ofa Home Occupation
Permit for a Dog Training Facility at 35 Hacienda Drive.

MEMO
To: Tiburon Town Council
From: Larry Smith
Subj: Recommendations from the Senior Housing Advisory Committee
At the request of the Council, the Senior Housing Advisory Committee
(SHAC) met with Skip Berg and explored, in depth, his suggestion that the
Town consider a joint venture with the developer eventually chosen for the
senior housing project at the Ned's Way site. We also had the benefit of view
points from several members of the Town Staff and legal council to the RDA.
We learned that the Town could become a party to this type of venture if the
RDA became the operating partner and that the police facility could be built
by having the RDA buy the property from the Town at fair market value. In
other words, there is a way, technically and legally, to become involved in a
joint venture with this project. In this event or, alternatively, if the Town
does not participate in a joint venture, the funds to build the police facility
would become available as soon asthe land is sold - either to the RDA or to
the developer,
The key question for the Town however, is one of risk/reward. SHAC
believes the risk is too great and the potential reward is too small for the
Town to enter such a partnership. Even if the risk were reduced and the
rewards made more attractive, profits would likely remain in the RDA and be
limited to moderate income housing uses_ Profits could not be spent on other
urgent needs such as paving the Town's streets, Additionally, entering such a
partnership would require significant Town staff time during the course of
the project...time which is likely not available. A crucial activity is
monitoring the project and the developer to protect the Town's interest.
If the project failed, the Town would lose its investment (the land) after the
bank foreclosed unless the Town was prepared to step in and manage the
project, including the contribution of additional funds to finish it. Recovery
of the Town's investment would be delayed until final units of the project
were sold.
Most developers aim at a 10-15% profit which the enclosed pro-forma
provided by committee member Tom Gram demonstrates. This was based on
data from a developer currently building similar sized homes in Marin
County, It is more conservative than Skip Berg's first estimate and produces
significantly less profit.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Town Council drop any further
consideration of a joint venture and proceed with the Developer Competition
as presented and modified on September 4, 1996,
1. Send RFP immediately to interested potential developers with a target
date for response by March 1, 1997.
2. Appoint two council members to serve with SHAC as the panel for
judging the competition,
3, After choosing a winner and following formal review of the
development proposal, draft a disposition and development agreement
for the project.
4. Near completion of the project, negotiate an appropriate subsidy for up
to four very low income units_ .
You will find attached a draft of the RFP including modifications agreed to at
the Council meeting of September 4. Also, you can expect an update of
Housing Fund Resources to be available at the Council meeting,
· SHAC is recommending that the Town council wait to negotiate subsidies
until such time all costs are known rather than at the front end when all costs
are estimates.

1155 Tiburon Boulevard
Tiburon, CA. 94920
December 4, 1996
RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR SENIOR HOUSING SITE AT TIBURON TOWN
HALL SITE
To Whom it May Concern:
The Town of Tiburon is pleased to offer an opportunity to create a senior housing
development on the current Town Hall site located off Ned's way near its intersection with Tiburon
Boulevard_ In a recent municipal election over two-thirds ofTiburon's voters approved the sale of
Town owned property for the purpose of building senior housing, The proceeds of the sale are to
be used for the construction of new police facilities.
The purpose of this Request for Proposal ("RFP") is to solicit specific development proposals
for the design and construction of a market rate senior housing project.
The need for senior housing on the Tiburon Peninsula (including Belvedere and Strawberry) is
driven by three broad perspectives:
(I) Aging local residents whose homes have become too big or too cwnbersome and who
want something smaller, and strongly desire to stay in the community.
(2) Local residents whose parents are aging and want them to live nearby for ease of
supervision and care.
(3) Seniors from other parts of Marin County and the Bay Area who would like to live
on the Tiburon Peninsula.
The emotional attachment of many local homeowners to the Tiburon Peninsula is a powerful
marketing consideration. The option of staying in the community after selling the large family home
is currently limited to small tract homes built 40 years ago and hillside condominiwns built 20 to 30
years ago. There are no facilities offering congregate care. The creation of attractive, affordable
homes that recognize our senior citizens' special needs is worthy of the density bonus provided for
in Tiburon's General Plan.
We appreciate your interest in this project, and encourage your participation.
Sincerely,
Town Manager

CORINTlllAN ISLAND STEPS REPLACEMENT PROJECT
December 4, 1996
BACKGROUND
During FY95-96, the repair and replacement of the Corinthian Island Stairway was
commenced and completed. The overall cost of the work was $28,452. Seven property owners
represented undivided portions of the stairway property.
The steps provide primary access for adjacent property owners, some local and tourist
use, and for emergency access for residents and public safety personnel.
The Building Official, Town Engineer, and Town Attorney apportioned the costs based
upon the level of responsibility of each owner.
In June 1996, the Town sent billings and letters of explanation to each property owner
regarding their payment obligation. The City of Belvedere and Town of Tiburon were likewise
included in a share of the repair costs.
An extension of the original payment deadline was extended to November 20 for certain
property owners because of personal problems. Payments have been received to date from three
of the nine participants (Morey, Fisher & Town) and commitment for payment from Mahoney.
Mr. George Swift, representing his sister Alice Rosenzweig, has stated that he and his
sister are unwilling to participate in the assessed cost sharing, however, they are willing to
quitclaim to the Town their ownership in their respective underlying stairway properties subject to
certain conditions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1) That the Town Council direct Staff to proceed with collection of the apportioned costs
for the replacement of the Corinthian Island Stairway from those property owners who have not
paid the Town. This may require the filing ofliens and/or referral to a collection agency.
TOWN COUNCIL
Page 2
December 4, 1996
2) That Town Staff proceed to contact each of the involved property owners and
determine their willingness to quitclaim their stairway property to the Town. The Town would
then be responsible for the future maintenance, upkeep and repair of the stairway.
3) Assuming there is a willingness by the property owners to quitclaim, then Staff would
proceed to prepare a resolution of acceptance for consideration by the Town Council for the
conveyance of the quitclaimed properties to the Town. The Town would also be required to pay
for a survey, install the remaining stairway handrail and process a lot line adjustment.

CORINTHIAN ISLAND STAIRS
DATE:
AUGUST 26,1996
HISTORY
The Corinthian Island Stairs first became an issue for the Town in December of 1994, when Dr. George
Swift notified the Town that the earth supponing Ihe stairs had eroded and that he was concerned for the
safety of those using the slairs. Dr. Swift asked that the Town use its authority to post the area as
hazardous. Invesligation revealed thai the entire widlh of the stairs had been undermined for a dislance of
about 30 feet, making them subject to sudden failure and unsafe for use. Dr. Swift was inslructed to
inslall a physical barrier at each end of the slairs and the Building Department poSled signs warning of
the hazard and prohibiting entrance.
It was initially assumed that the stairs were the sole property and responsibility of Ms. Alice Rosenzweig,
who is the legal owner of the narrow slrip of land. running from Main Street to Eastview Avenue. known
as AP #60-105-60. Dr. Swift quickly informed the Town thai his sister was not solely responsible since
the stairs did nol rest entirely on Ihe parcel owned by Ms. Rosenzweig, bul meandered up the hill,
crossing land owned by Morey. Swift. Fisher, Medica Internocional. Maso, and the Town of Tiburon.
The Town commissioned a survey by Anrig-Doyle that confirmed Ihat the stairs did resl on land owned by
Ihe above mentioned panies. II is wonh noting that Ms. RosenzweigpurchasedAP#60-105-60, making
her an informed and active owner, while the others became owners by default. as il were, and had to be
nOlified that careless construction practices many years ago meant that they now owned lhat ponion of the
stairs constructed on their property; the Town of Tiburon, presumably. was aware of the encroaclunant
and related issues.
Five engineering firms were engaged to provide professional opinions regarding both the cause of the
problem and the most reasonable solution:
. ALB Associates; engaged by Morey.
. Anhur Knutson; engaged by Morey.
. Edward Beauie; engaged by Dr. Swift.
. Dellev Doring; engaged by Dr. Swift.
. Eanh Science Consultants; engaged by the Town of Tiburon.
Copies of these reports are available.
All five opinions discussed the steep slopes and the need for lateral support at the rear corner of the "bank
building" at 55 Main Street: the north wall of the building was commonly held to be inadequate to suppon
the neighboring land. Engineer Knutson was alone in his opinion that the erosion was caused by Fisher's
illegal construclion activity.
On June 13. 1995. the Town of Tiburon issued a permil to W.R. Forde Associales, to proceed with the
repair and replacemenl of the hazardous section of the stairs; this work has been completed.
On June 26, 1996, leners were senlto each of the parties involved, explaining and specifying their
obligation to reimburse the Town for repair costs and demanding payment by July 26, 1996.
In July, 1996. in response to a requesl by Ms. Rosenzweig and Dr. Swift, the Town Manager granled an
extension to September 13, 1996.
RESPONSIBILITY
. Ms. Rosenzweig, as primary owner of the stairs, failed in her responsibility to maintain her property
in a safe condilion and has been apportioned 24 percent of the repair COSIS.
. Mr. and Ms. Morey failed in their responsibility under California Civil Code 832 to provide lateral
and subjacent support to neighboring properties and have been apportioned 24 percent of the cost of
repaIr.
Note that in June, 1995, the Moreys began work to reinforce the adjacent wall of the bank
building and to install a retaining wall at the rear corner; the projecI engineer has certified that
the work was designed to support adjacent properties. including loads imposed by earth and
gravel backfill, the concrele slairs, and hydrostalic pressure. This work has been satisfaclorily
completed. thereby fulfilling Ihe obligation to AP #60-105-60, under California Civil Code 832.
A strong argument can be made that the erosion and resultant undermining of the slairs would
not have occurred if this work had been done in a timely fashion.
. Mr. Fisher construcled. without permits or approval, a gazebo. retaining wall, irrigation and drainage
thai. in the opinion of at least one engineer (Knulson) , conlribuled to or caused the erosion
responsible for undermining the stairs. Mr. Fisher's portion of the repair costs, set at 24 percent has
been paid.
Note thai in June of 1996 Mr. Fisher removed his illegal gazebo and reinstalled his drainage
under the direction of the Building Department.
. The Town of Tiburon owns the property at each end of the slairs and has assumed responsibility for
ten percent of the repair.
. Belvedere has assumed ten percent of the cost of repair in order 10 prolectthe interesls of Corinthian
Island residents who depend on the stairs for safe pedestrian access.
. The remaining above-named part-owners have some token level of responsibility which has been set
at two percent.
ANALYSIS
Who uses the Corinthian Island Stairs?
. Primary access for adjacent property owners.
. Pedestrian access for both locals and tourists.
. Emergency egress for both locals and tourists.
. Emergency access for the Fire Department (of critical importance in certain siluations).
. Emergency access for the Police Department.
The Corinlhian Island Stairs are currently under multiple ownership thai leaves the issue of maintenance
and repair as confusing and ill-defined as il has been in the current imbroglio-il is not difficult to imagine
a future problem as needlessly complicaled and resistanl 10 resolution as lhis one has been.
Responsibiliry for a property essential 10 both public and privale intereSlS should nol be left in the hands of
a disparale and reluclant group of "owners" who are unlikely to agree on who owns what, much less the
more substantive issues of responsible management.
If the current owners of this private piece of property decided to close it to public access, public interests
would be required to accede, and lose pedestrian and emergency access, or pursue prescriptive rights. In
either case, the issue would once again be before the council.
RECOMMEND A TIONS
. That the Town demand compensation for costs incurred for the repair of the
Corinthian Island Stairs.
. That the Town authorize a survey and lot line adjustment to ensure that the exisling
Corinthian Island Stairs and AP #60-105-60 are congruent.
. Thai the Town authorize the Town Attorney to obtain quit-claim deeds, or
equivalent. from all owners whose property is currently congruent with the existing
Corinthian Island Stairs.
. That the Town authorize and pay for installalion of a handrail from Eastview
Avenue to connecl with the new handrail at the reconstructed slairs.
. That the Town install lighting as necessary to provide safe use.
. That the Town assume ownership of the Corinthian Island Stairs/AP #60-105-60.
Attachments include:
1. survey
2. 1994 "interim status report"
3. summary of engineering reports
4. nOlice of apportioned COSIS
5. response to Mary Catherine (administrative assistant to Morey).

Mrs. Alice Rosenzweig
66 Rancho Drive
Mill Valley, CA 94941
RE: Corinthian Stairs Repair
Dear Mrs. Rosenzweig: .
As you were advised by my letter dated May 17, 1995, the Town of Tiburon has repaired the
Corinthian Island stairs leading from Main Street to Eastview. This letter is to advise you of the
apportioned costs and to set a time frame for reimbursement. The responsible property owners
are liable for the cost of this repair in the amounts shown on the attached report, as authorized by
the Uniform Building Code.
We have identified the principal causes of the damage as the following: (i) failure of Mrs. Alice
Rosenzweig, principal owner of the damaged portion of the steps, to maintain her property in a
safe manner; (ii) drainage, irrigation and gazebo construction projects of Mr. Don Fisher,
initiated and performed without appropriate permits; and (iii) the failure of Mr. & Mrs. Robert
Morey to provide lateral and subjacent support for AP#60-1 05-60 as required by California Civil
Code 832.
Accordingly, these owners have been assessed the largest shares of the costs. The assessments
against other property owners are based on the extent of their ownership of land and their
consequent benefit from the repairs. Note that the Town of Tiburon proposes to contribute ten
percent (10%) of the cost to reflect the fact that a small portion of the stairs are owned by the
Town and are used by Town residents. The City of Belvedere has been assessed a like amount
for the same reasons.
We have tried to be fair in dividing the costs of repairs between responsible property owners. If
you have any questions regarding the amount of these assessments please contact me at 435-
7380.
Please be advised that the assessment set forth in the attachment to this letter constitutes a
lien against your property. Accordingly, we ask that you submit payment of your share of
the assessments as set forth in this letter and attachments at your earliest convenience.
Failure to submit payments to the Town of Tiburon within thirty (30) days from the date
of this letter will result in the foreclosure of the lien against your property.
.

MEMORANDUM
TO: TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: SCOTT ANDERSON, PLAllNING DIRECTOR~
SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF BUS SHELTER AT MAR WEST STREET & TIBURON
BOULEVARD
DATE: 11/25/96
BACKGROUND
The Golden Gate Transit (GGT) bus shelter which once stood near
the corner of Mar West street and Tiburon Boulevard was removed
during site preparation and construction of the new library
building. The bus shelter was eventually returned to GGT in
damaged condition.
Golden Gate Transit is now requesting that a replacement bus
shelter be placed somewhere in the vicinity, preferably as soon
as possible since the rainy season is upon us.
Golden Gate Transit has pledged to provide the Town with the bus
shelter and install it once the concrete pad is poured.
Different size options for the shelter are available, either a 10
foot wide by 4 foot deep shelter, or a 10 foot wide by 6 foot
deep shelter. The Town may choose the color. The primary tasks
of the Town are to choose a location acceptable to GGT, ensure
that the required concrete pad foundation is poured, and pick a
color.
POTENTIAL LOCATIONS
1) The Library is apparently not interested in having the
shelter replaced in front of its new building, and their
approved site plan makes no provisions for it. This option
does not appear promising.
2) The Town Engineer and I discussed placing the new bus
shelter close to its former location, but shifted slightly
to the west. The concrete pad and shelter could be placed on
the Town-owned "triangle" of land at the corner of Mar West
and Tiburon Boulevard, which also houses the Gallows Frame
Monument. The Town Engineer has reviewed this location and
determined it inappropriate based upon sight-line problems

at the intersection.
at present, and would
bus shelter.
This location is also rather cluttered
only be made worse by addition of the
3) A promising location is in front of the former Safeway
building. An existing bus stop at that location could be
upgraded to include a bus shelter. This bus stop appears to
be much more heavily used than that at Mar west street, and
perhaps more deserving of a shelter.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Town Council select the existing bus stop location
at the former Safeway site for placement of the bus shelter.
The smaller shelter (10 feet by 4 feet) should suffice, and
the color should be earth-tone and blend with its
surroundings.
2. That the Belvedere-Tiburon Library (or their contractor) be
responsible for the pouring of the new concrete pad, since
the Library project resulted in the loss of the old shelter
structure and its location.
3. That the Town Manager be authorized to take all necessary
steps to coordinate efforts with the Library, GGT, and
secure placement of the new bus shelter.

6. Recommendation of Executive Comminee on Section 6.2 of the Revised IFA Agreement:
a) ProDosed Household Hazardous Waste Collection Prolmlm to be administered bv the City of San Rafael
The Executive Comminee recommended that the Board contract with San Rafael for the collection of household
hazardous wastes (HHW). The Board then discussed: what is included in the proposal offered by San Rafael,
how the funds will be collected, potential reducing the number ofHHW events from 26 to 12, and the need to
include the costs of BOP programs. Pat Eklund stated that at this time the City of Novato is not planning to
participate in the HHW collection program in San Rafael and that the City is in the process of setting up their
own HHW collection events. San Rafael Fire and Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) staffs presented and discussed
HHW collection and BOP program costs and methods of operation with the Board. The county staff stated that
in addition to contracting for HHW collection in San Rafael the county is working on setting up HHW satellite
collection events in West Marin. The Board unanimously approved a motion having the Executive Committee
draft a single agreement. for jurisdictions that are interested, to contract HHW and BOP collection services with
the City of San Rafael's HHW collection facility. The agreement would then have to be adopted. by each
individual jurisdictions board or counsel. MSS requested that the Board reimburse both the Novato and San
Rafael BOPs for cost incurred since July 1, 1996. The Board then requested that the Executive Comminee
examine the issue of reimbursement of the BOPs and make its recommendation at the next Board meeting.
b) Prooose 1996-'97 Used Oil Block Grant to be assumed by the City of San Rafael The Executive Comminee
recommended that the Board transfer the 1996-'97 Used Oil Block Grant of S82,957 to the Marin County
Slormwater Pollution Prevention Program (MCSTOPPP) in San Rafael for implementation. Staff indicated
that. as in the previous fiscal year, a pottion of the grant could be used to fund costs of providing used oil
collection at the BOPs and through Mill Valley Refuse's curbside programs with the remaining funds allocated
for used oil education. Staff also indicated that IF A does not have staff to implement the grant and that the
county does not want to increase staff to implement the grant Pat EkJund expressed concerns about the
formula for distribution of funds and requested that the board ask the Executive Comminee examine the
distribution of grant funds and report back to the Board at their next meeting. The Board then discussed how to
implement the grant and how to avoid duplication of efforts currently be implemented by the County's haulers.
The Board then approved a motion, by a vote 9 yes and I (Novato) abstention. transferring the 1996-'97 Used
Oil Block Grant to the City of San Rafael's MCSTOPPP to assume the responsibility of implementing the
grant.
7. Old IF A asset issues:
a) Used Tire Collection Grant Staff recommended returning a SI6,800 grant to the State, orbudgel the 25%
matching funds. The current IF A is not staffed to handle the project. The Board then discussed potential
options, such as having Novato Disposal or Marin Sanitary Services implement the grant. Staff indicated that it
had been in contact with both of the haulers and that they had voiced some interest in the grant. on a
preliminary basis. The Board unanimously recommended that the Executive Comminee and staff examine the
possibility of Nova to Disposal and/or Marin Sanitary Service implementing the grant and make a
recommendation to the Board at the Board's next meeting.
b) Used Oil 1995-96 Grant Public Information Oil Funnels in stock Staff requested the Board's authorization
to distribute 1500 used oil funnels and literature that are left over asset of the previous IF A. Staff stated that
distributing the funnels and literature would require approximately two days of staff time. The Board agreed
that the funnels and literature should be distributed and told staff to use their best judgment in the distributing
the information.
8. AdoDtion of Resolution to Establish !ntelmlted Waste Manae:ement Fees The Executive Comminee
recommended setting the program fees at S4/ton and that the fees would be collected through the haulers. The
Board then discussed the necessity to collect fees directly from non-franchised haulers who collect over
substancial amounts of waste. The Board expressed concern these haulers may avoid Marin County IF A fees
by disposing of their waste material in out -of -County landfills. The Board then requested staff to discuss the
possibility of collecting fees from these haulers with County Council and bring the issue back to the Board.
The Board then discussed fees being different between jurisdictions participating in 6.2 programs and
jurisdictions (Novato) only participating in core 6.1 programs. The Board unanimously adopted resolution
96-1 with the following amendments: (1) since Novato is not participating in the HHW and BOP programs
Novato Disposal's portion the fees to be collected was reduced from S133,08810 S49,908 and (2) The City of
Novato, in conjunction with Novato Disposal, will offer its own HHW collection.
