Subject: RUSD AMENDED AGREEMENT AND PROPERTY TRANSFER, 1101-1185
TffiURON BOULEVARD
Date: NOVEMBER 25, 1997
BACKGROUND
Since August, the Town has been attempting to secure approval from the Reed Union School
District (RUSD) Board of Trustees of an amended agreement concerning use of property at
Ned's Way, as well as a property transfer necessary to construct a new police facility at that site.
On November 18, 1997, the Board of Trustees of the Reed Union School District adopted a
resolution approving the amended land lease and the exchange of property rights, subject to
receipt and verification of revised legal descriptions for the affected properties.
The matter now comes to the Town Council for similar approval. Upon receipt of the finalized
legal descriptions, the Mayor would be authorized to execute the official documents prior to
recorqation.
ANALYSIS
Attached as Exhibit 1 is the finalized Amertded Land Lease and Use Agreement between the
Town, RUSD, and the Belvedere-Tiburon Child Care Center (BTCCC), as approved by the
RUSD Board.
The Board made changes which added certain assurances concerning required parking for the
Belvedere- Tiburon Child Care Center, all of which had previously been agreed to by the Town
but had not been formally included in the Agreement itself Town Staff, including the Interim
Town Attorney, is comfortable with the terms and content of the final Amended Agreement.
The legal descriptions which comprise Exhibits A, B, and C of the Amended Agreement have not
yet been finalized. However, a map depicting these properties will be available at the meeting for
the Town Council's review.

BETWEEN THE TOWN OF TIBURON, THE BELVEDEREITIBURON CHILD CARE
CENTER AND THE REED UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT
ASSK~SOR PARCEL NO. 58-151-23
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into this _ day of December, 1997, by and between
the TOWN OF TIBURON ("Tiburon"), the BELVEDERE-TIBURON CHILD CARE
CENTER ("CCC") and the REED UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT ("District").
RECITALS:
A. Tiburon is the owner of certain real property situated in the Town of Tiburon
("Town Property") described in Exhibit" A."
B. Tiburon, District and CCC have entered into a series of agreements pursuant to
which District and CCC are entitled to the use of the Town Property for
playground and child care center purposes respectively. The first such
agreement, between Tiburon and District was dated February 28, 1978, and was
amended by an agreement dated September 30, 1987. Subsequent agreements
between the aforesaid two parties and CCC or CCC's predecessor in interest,
the Belvedere-Tiburon Joint Recreation Committee, were dated August 31, 1987
and November 4, 1994. The aforesaid agreements between the parties, and any
and all other agreements and instruments creating an entitlement to use the
Town Property, are collectively referenced herein as the "Prior Use
Agreements. .
C. As a result of the Prior Use Agreements, District and CCC are using a portion
of the Town Property, which portion is described in Exhibit "B" (the "Transfer
Property"). The remaining portion of the Town Property is not being used by
District or CCC and is described in Exhibit "C" (the "Released Property").
D.
Tiburon intends to record, prior to the recordation of this agreement, a parcel
map (the "Parcel Map") by which District would be granted access and parking
rights over a 30 foot wide roadway easement, in the approximate location of the
existing 25 foot access and utility easement connecting Ned's Way to the Reed
Elementary School property.
,
E. The Parties agree that it will be to their mutual benefit, upon recordation of the
Parcel Map, to modify the Prior Use Agreements such that the District will
obtain ownership of the Transfer Property in consideration for the Town
regaining the ability to use the Released Property for other public purposes, all
as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY AGREED that the parties enter into this
Agreement to Amend the Prior Agreements based on the following covenants and conditions:
1. Within 60 days of recordation of the Parcel Map, Tiburon shall convey all of its
right, title and interest in the Transfer Property to District by grant deed (the
"Grant Deed") in a form substantially similar to that set forth in Exhibit "D",
which Grant Deed shall reserve to Tiburon a slope easement over that portion of
the Released Property described in Exhibit "B". CCC shall retain its right to use
the Transfer Property as set forth in the Prior Use Agreements. Except as
otherwise provided herein, District shall acquire all of Tiburon's rights and
assume all of Tiburon's obligations arising on or after the date of recordation of
the Grant Deed under the Prior Use Agreements with respect to the Transfer
Property, which rights Tiburon hereby releases and assigns to District and from
which obligations Tiburon is hereby released.
2. Within 60 days of recordation of the Parcel Map, and concurrent with
recordation of the Grant Deed, District shall convey all its right, title and
interest in the Released Property to Tiburon by quitclaim deed (the "Quitclaim
Deed") in a form substantially similar to that set forth in Exhibit "E". CCC
hereby releases, waives, and relinquishes to Tiburon, effective as of the
recordation of the Grant D~ and the Quitclaim Deed, all of its rights to use,
occupy or enjoy the Released Property under the Prior Use Agreements.
3. Prior to the commencement of any construction on the Released Property,
Tiburon shall install at its cost a six foot chain link fence at the top of the slope
easement area described in Exhibit "B". Tiburon shall maintain the slope
easement area and plant and maintain suitable landscaping upon it.
4. Parking along the roadway easement shall be allocated as shown on the attached
Exhibit "F". Tiburon shall have the right to joint use of the two parking spaces
designated on Exhibit "F" as "time-limited spaces available for general public
use" only for so long as such spaces are counted towards the parking
requirements of CCC's conditional use permit for expanded enrollment in the
2
same manner and to the same extent as if they were allocated solely to CCC's
use, and if said spaces are not so counted toward CCC's parking requirements,
said two spaces shall thereafter be allocated exclusively to the use of District
and CCC.
,
5. The use of the Transfer Property for other than District purposes shall be
subject to all normally applicable Tiburon regulations and policies governing
land use and development in the Town of Tiburon.
6. Under ~9 of the Land Lease and Use Agreement between Tiburon, District and
CCC dated November 4, 1994, CCC is required to offer and maintain a
scholarship program to the children of Tiburon employees. CCC shall continue
offering and maintaining this program to the children of Tiburon employees for
a period of twenty (20) years from the date of this Agreement.
7. Except as otherwise set forth herein, and except as they may have expired by
their terms, the Prior Use Agreements shall remain unmodified and in full force
and effect.

From: SCOTT ANDERSON, PLANNING DIRECTOR ~
Subject: CYPRESS HOLLOW ANNEXATION INTEREST: CONSIDERATION OF A
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION
COMMISSION TO UNDERTAKE PROCEEDINGS FOR ANNEXATION OF
THE CYPRESS HOLLOW AREA TO THE TOWN OF TffiURON (Resolution)
Date: NOVEMBER 25, 1997
mSTORY
The Town of Tiburon attempted to annex what is now the Cypress Hollow Subdivision and
adjacent properties in the Bay Vista Drive area in 1986-87. The attempt was rejected by LAFCO,
largely for political considerations dealing with the much lower density which could have been
allowed on the Cypress Hollow site by the Town of Tiburon (20 units), as opposed to Marin
County (55 units). Eventually, the County approved 44 units for the property. Failure to annex
the Cypress Hollow property created a domino effect whereby other undeveloped property to the
west was also able to develop in the County without annexation to the Town, further suppressing
the Town's interest in annexation of properties in the StrawberrylEagle RocklBay Vista area.
Tiburon has not annexed any property in this vicinity since the Bel Aire (West Tiburon)
annexation in 1984.
The Cypress Hollow Subdivision, as well as all of the Strawberry Peninsula and Ring Mountain,
are included within Marin County's Strawberry Community Plan, adopted in 1973 and amended
in 1982. This document has been the guiding force in the County's approval of all development in
the Strawberry area since 1973.
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, a majority of property owners of the now-developed Cypress Hollow
Subdivision on Tiburon's western border expressed interest in annexation to the Town. Please
refer to Exhibit I for a vicinity map showing the subject area. Background information is
contained within the Staff Report dated October 1, 1997, attached as Exhibit 2. The Town
Council expressed its conceptual support for the annexation at that meeting (see minutes attached
as Exhibit 3).
Tiburon Town Council
Staff Repart
12/3/97

ANALYSIS
As a first order of business, the new Town Council should discuss whether to proceed along the
lines conceptually approved by the previous Town Council; that is, to pursue annexation of the
Cypress Hollow Subdivision and explore with LAFCO possible annexation interest by adjacent
Barn Road and Rancho Drive residents who are not part of the Cypress Hollow Subdivision.
Since all of these areas are already served by a Sanitary District and all other urban services,
LAFCO's dual annexation policy would not come into play during the annexation process.
Current Annexation Goals Policies and Practice
Current Town policies toward annexation are attached as Exhibit 4. The stated go.al of the Land
Use Element is:
"To annex all unincorporated areas within the Tiburon Planning Area in order to provide
more unified and coherent land use policy implementation. The Town supports LAFCO's
dual annexation policy".
As shown in Exhibit 4, Land Use Element annexation policies allow considerable flexibility on the
part of the Town in weighing annexation requests. Factors such as "resident/property owner
interest, cost revenue implications, and provision of Town services to the property" may be
considered by the Town when analyzing specific annexation requests.
In practice, since the most recent General Plan revision began in 1986, the Town has rarely turned
down any opportunity to annex property within its Planning Area. Exceptions have occurred
when property is not contiguous to Town limits (which would create an "island" effect), or when
property is contiguous but the street pattern is such that providing Town services to the property
would be awkward and difficult.
Previous Annexation Policies and Practice
Prior to 1986, the then-City of Tiburon's 1973 Land Use Element policies were in effect. The
policy with respect to annexation was as foltows:
"The City shall, through a program of prezoning and annexation, add land to the City
when such action will enhance the existing quality and pattern ofland use".
In practice, Tiburon nearly always annexed unincorporated properties within its Planning Area
prior to development. The major difference was that Tiburon often waited until the County had
approved development entitlements for a property, then proceeded to annex it, honoring the
County approvals along the way. Approval of trailing permits, including design review and
building permits, occurred under Tiburon ordinances and policies.

Communication with LAFCO
Subsequent to the October I, 1997 Town Council meeting, Staff contacted the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) regarding necessary future steps toward annexation. LAFCO
indicates that the necessary steps would be as follows:
1. The Town should adopt a Resolution requesting LAFCO to undertake annexation
proceedings.
2. The Town should initiate "prezoning" procedures for the areas for which annexation is
being considered. This requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and
Town Council.
3. An application should be filed with LAFCO requesting annexation. The filing fee for the
Cypress Hollow application would be $7,000.00. Official maps and legal descriptions
would need to be prepared as part of the LAFCO and Town prezoning applications.
4. The Town would be designated the "conducting authority" for the annexation, if approved
by LAFCO, and would need to hold a protest hearing, and possibly an election, should
sufficient protest be received.
Should the Town choose to proceed with the annexation process, the Town Manager has offered
to split the cost of the LAFCO application evenly with the Cypress Hollow residents; to take
responsibility for the preparation of the necessary maps and legal descriptions; and to process the
Town's prezoning application free of charge. Upon receipt of the matching funds from Cypress
Hollow, the Town would file an application with LAFCO.
RECOMMENDATION
. That the Town Council consider ratification of the previous Town Council's direction to
pursue annexation of the Cypress Hollow Subdivision.
. If the decision is made to pursue al1Q.exation, then the Town Council should adopt the
Resolution (Exhibit 5) requesting that LAFCO undertake proceedings for annexation, and
further direct Staff to begin work on the prezoning and LAFCO applications.

CYPRESS HOLLOW ANNEXATION INTEREST
October 1, 1997
BACKGROUND
Property owners residing in the Cypress Hollow area on the Tiburon Peninsula have
expressed an interest in annexation to the Town of Tiburon. They have been in contact with
LAFCO and Town Staff regarding policies and procedures relating to annexation. The Cypress
Hollow area is located below Via Los Altos and westerly of Black field Drive. The area is a
relatively new subdivision consisting of 44 parcels of which only four (4) remain vacant.
The property owners have submitted a letter and petition indicating their interest in
annexing to the Town. The petition has been signed by property owners representing
approximately 30 of the parcels. The petitioners have also expressed interest in future annexation
of their area to the Reed Union School District.
The purpose of this matter coming before Council at this time is for conceptual approval
only. Council should consider the Town's annexation policy, potential costs, and our ability to
serve the area. Staff's preliminary review of the proposed area for annexation is that it would not
impact ;our current levels of service and essentially represents a minor extension of our current
boundaries.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I) That Council approve in concept the proposed annexation of the Cypress Hollow
area to the Town of Tiburon;
2) That Staff be directed to contact LAFCO regarding the residents' interest and the
Town's willingness t'? annex the area;
3) That LAFCO to provide the Town with an estimate of additional revenues which
would be received by the Town from this annexation and what specific fees will be
required by LAFCO to process the application;
4) That LAFCO consider and explore possible annexation interest of the adjacent
Barn Road and Rancho Drive residents who are currently in the unincorporated
area of the County

AL"-i0iEXA.TION INTERESTIINFOR..'\.1ATION - CYPRESS HOLLOW
This past year I have had occasional discussions with a Mr. Carlos Shelton of Cypress Hollow
concerning possible annexation to both the Town and the Reed Union School District.
!'vIr. Shelton indicated that he and several residents are interested, and that he was planning to
explore the matter with all of the Cypress Hollow property owners.
!'vIr. Shelton contacted me this week and stated that he had written to all Cypress Hollow
residents concerning this issue and the response to date has been very favorable. I requested a
copy of the letter that he had sent, which is attached for your information. Please note thatwhile
some of the information is not totally accurate, it does provide the residents with a general
overall understanding of the annexation proposal.
!'vIr. Shelton is now preparing a precise boundary map of the area identifying those parcels which
have expressed an interest in annexation and a petition of the affected property owners. He
would tj:J.en like to proceed with the Tov,ll concerning the next step in the process.

Cypress Hollow Annexation Interest - (Consider Conceptual Support).
Town Manager Kleinert said the residents of the Cypress Hollow area had shown strong interest ,.
in annexation to the Town and that the majority had signed a petition to that effect. Kleinert said '
there would be no great impact to the Town to provide services since the subdivision represented
a small extension to the west ofBlackfield Drive. He recommended that Staffbe directed to
notifY LAFCO of the interest and ask that LAFCO proceed with a resident's survey regarding
annexation and to prepare a report on costs and revenues to both the Town and LAFCO.
There was no public comment.
Vice Mayor Thayer complimented the residents for handling the matter so professionally and
wished them the best ofluck.

7) Tiburon Main Street/ADA Traffic Improvements - (Review of Traffic Consultant's Final
Report and Recommendations).
T own Engineer Barmand said a subcommittee, comprised of representatives of both the Tiburon
and Belvedere City Councils, had met to review the initial report prepared by the independent
traffic engineers, DKS Associates. As a result of the first meeting, a supplemental report was
prepared and the subcommittee met a second time, and an additional supplement was before
Council tonight.
According to Barmand, DKS Associates recommended making lower Main Street one-way from
Tiburon Boulevard and, based on concerns expressed by residents of Corinthian Island and
Belveder~, recommended a compromise by keeping Ark Row two-way.
However, Barmand said, the Belvedere City Council had concerns about the recommended
changes to Beach Road intersection. 'He said DKS Associates said that the time increase
resulting from the proposed stop sign was so minimal as to not be measurable.
Town Engineer Barmand said Staff needed the Council's direction to proceed. He also noted
there was a hearing scheduled the first )'leek of November in the Main Street/ADA lawsuit.
Town Attorney Sharp confirmed that the court's last order said if the matter was not settled by
October 1 then a further settlement conference was to be scheduled between that date and
November 14, but no trial date had been set.
Mayor Hennessy read some comments from [absent] Councilmember Wolf into the record:

Tiburon General Plan--Land Use Element-Excerpts
GOAL
LV-D. To annex all unincorporated areas within the Tiburon
Planning Area in order to provide more unified and coherent
land use policy implementation. The Town supports LAFCO's /
dual annexation policy. The maintenance of acceptable
circulation levels of service in presently unincorporated
areas is therefore of considerable importance to the Town.
ANNEXATION POLICIES
LV-5. Paradise Drive Area South of Trestle Glen.
Annexation of property in this sub-area should be based on
resident/property owner interest, cost/revenue implications
of specific annexation requests, and provision of Town
services to the property. Annexation of property in this
area to the Town should be required prior to the approval of
specific development projects. Annexation requests may be
processed by LAFCO concurrently with development
applications by the Town. Sewer, water and other essential
infrastructure must be available to serve new development by
the time new development is constructed.
LV-6. Paradise Cay & Vicinity. Annexation of property in
this sub-area should be based on resident/property owner
interest, cost/revenue implications of specific annexation
requests, and provision of Town services to the property.
Total annexation of this sub-area is not anticipated to
occur prior to 1995. At such time as annexation of property
in this area is imminent, the Town should pre-zone the
property consistent with this General Plan.
LU-7. Strawberrv/Eaale Rock/Bay Vista. Annexation of
property in this sub-area should be based on
resident/property owner interest, cost/revenue implications
of specific annexation requests, and provision of Town
services to the property. Total annexation of this sub-area
is not anticipated to occur prior to 1995. At such time as
annexation of property in this area is imminent, the Town
should pre-zone the-property consistent with this General
Plan.

RAILROAD MARSH FLOOD PLAIN/ZELINSKY PLAZA SCHEMATIC
LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED BElllND 1501 AND 1505
TIBURON BOULEVARD
NOVEMBER 26, 1997
Date:
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, the Town Council authorized the firm ofBSA Architects, working with Carducci
Landscape Architects, to prepare a Landscape and Improvement Plan for the Railroad Marsh
Flood Plain area behind the new Belvedere- Tiburon Library and new Tiburon Town Hall. In
addition to landscaping, the improvements are to present a suitable tribute to the Zelinsky Family
for its contributions of the land upon which the Library and Town Hall have been constructed.
This tribute has been envisioned in the form of a small "plaza" with a commemorative plaque.
ANALYSIS
Carducci Landscape Architects has prepared a Schematic Landscape Plan, which will be
presented to the Town Council at the meeting. Mr. David Ross ofBSA Architects, and Mr.
Vincent Lattanzio of Carducci Landscape Architects will make the presentation. The focus of the
presentation is intended to be primarily informational, with no formal decisions being made by the
Town Council. Any comments on the general direction of the flood plain improvement plans
would be appreciated. Town Staffwill continue to work with the consultants to achieve a realistic
and affordable plan, which can then be taken through the formal public review and CEQA
processes.
Preliminary cost estimates for the entire project have also been prepared and are attached as
Exhibit 1. The cost estimates split the project into two phases. The cost total for Phase I is
approximately $120,000, while the cost total for Phase II is approximately $119,000. Please note
that the estimates reflect the cost of "contracting out" the entire project for construction.
Considerable cost savings could be achieved through in-house and/or volunteer labor, and not all
elements of the schematic plan need be installed to achieve the goals of the plaza and flood plain

From: SCOTT ANDERSON, PLANNING DIRECTO~
Subject: 1155 TIBURON BOULEVARD: SALE OF 1.51 ACRES OF TOWN-OWNED
PROPERTY TO THE TIBURON REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR
PURPOSES OF PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT OF A SENIOR HOUSING
PROJECT CONTAINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS; ASSESSOR
PARCEL NO. 58-151-23 (portion)
Date: NOVEMBER 25, 1997
BACKGROUND
The Town ofTiburon has been working toward the sale ofa portion of the former Town Hall
property at Ned's Way and Tiburon Boulevard for the past few years. The property is intended to
be developed as a senior housing project with a complement of affordable units. Proceeds of the
sale are to be expended on the construction of a new police facility, as authorized by Tiburon's
voters in a June 1995 election. It has been determined that the best method to secure the will of
the voters is for the Town to sell the property to the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency, which
would in turn sell the property to a private developer to construct the senior housing project.
ANALYSIS
The proper tool for sale of the property to the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency is for the Town
and Agency to enter into a "Purchase and Sale Agreement", a draft of which is attached as part of
the Redevelopment Agency packet. A draft Resolution approving execution of the Purchase and
Sale Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
In order to fund the purchase, the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency will borrow from the Town of
Tiburon's Affordable Housing In-lieu Fund approximately $650,000. The Agency will also
expend its approximately $400,000 in housing set-aside monies, and will provide the Town with a
note for the balance of the purchase monies based upon a known revenue stream from future
housing set-aside monies. It would take approximately 2 to 3 years to payoff the note, unless, as
expected, the Agency sells the property to a private developer in the next year or so, in which
case the Town would receive back its Housing In-lieu Fund monies even sooner.

BACKGROUND
A Precise Development Plan for the development of one single family residence and several
ancillary buildings at 375 Taylor Road was approved by the Town Council in 1992. A two year
time extension of the approval was granted by the Town Council in 1995. The Precise
Development Plan will expire unless extended by the Town Council. An application for a second
extension has been filed in a timely manner.
Please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report attached as Exhibit A, and other materials
attached as Exhibits Band C for additional background information. Large scale drawings of
the approved Precise Development Plan are attached as Exhibit E.
ANALYSIS
As noted in the report to the Planning Commission, Staff sees no reason why a second extension
cannot be granted, and believes the applicant has demonstrated good faith efforts to move ahead
with implementation of the Precise Development Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Town Council, following a public hearing, adopt the Resolution (Exhibit D) granting a
two-year time extension for the Ring Mountain Parcel G Precise Development Plan.

A Precise Development Plan for onjl single family residence and several ancillary buildings at 375
Taylor Road was approved by the Town Council in 1992. A two year time extension of the
approval was granted by the Town Council in 1995. The Precise Development Plan is set to
expire December 4, 1997, unless extended again. An application has been filed in a timely manner
for a second time extension. The original project approval document (Town Council Resolution
No. 2888) and the approved drawings (2 sheets) are attached as Exhibits 1 and 2.

, .
ANALYSIS
Time extensions for Precise Development Plans are regulated by Section 4.08.05 of the Tiburon
Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance requires that the "".permit holder shall submit sufficient
information to the Town to determine whether good cause for an extension exists."
Generally, in the absence of obvious economic reasons (such as a recession), Town Staff
considers the following factors in assessing whether "good cause" exists:
1. Whether there is evidence of an intent to proceed with implementation of the
project in a timely manner (ie, it has not been abandoned and progress is
occurring).
2. Whether circumstances have changed which would no longer make the project
consistent with Town policies or regulations.
The applicant has submitted clear evidence (see Exhibit 3) that there is an intent to move ahead
with the project and that the project has not been abandoned. The application materials for design
review approval are well underway and nearly ready for submittal to the Town for processing.
The site is physically maintained by the property owner, and some improvements incidental to the
main project have already been installed. These include entry gates, fencing, and an irrigation
well.
Staff is not aware of any change in circumstances, either for the property or its surroundings, or in
Town policies or regulations, that would argue against granting of a time extension.
SUBS~QUENT APPROVALS REQUIRED
If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the time extension application, the Town
Council will take final action at a public hearing. If the request for time extension is denied by the
Commission, that action is final unless appealed to the Town Council.
The next permit required to implement the project would be a site plan and architectural review
(design review) permit. Building permits would follow any design approval. A design review
approval of the residence would extend the life of the Precise Development Plan concurrent with
the expiration of the design review approval, which would be valid for 24 months.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
The project is categorically exempt under section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines.

PRECISE DEVELOPMENT PLAN TEXT
RING MOUNTAIN PARCEL G
General InformaTion and DaTa
1. General DescripTion of The Project & Site:
ProjecT consisTs of a single fami Iy residence, pool. house'lool,
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
will prov i de a gracefu I, I ush trans i t i on between each I eve I .
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 wil I have a gate at Taylor Road operated by remote
contra 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.
.'
Th~ project wi I I have no significant impact on adjacent streets.
4. Building Areas:
The residence bui Iding consists Qf 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 Ii i I I be be low 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.

6. Building Envelope & Fencing:
Building Envelope I imits are as shown on the Site Plan! Bui Iding
Envelope! Fencing Plan.
7. The maximum height shal I be 25 feet for the residence and 15
feet for al lather 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 I remain in its natural state.
A complete landscape plan wil 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 tesidence to the southeast is 270' distant
horizontally and 62' in elevation below the court.
As sounds tend t9 be directed upward and disipate with distance no
negat i ve impact ,j s expected.

Dear Commissioners:
Since the letter of cwo years ago, the electronic entrance has been completed. The fencing around
the parcel has been completed with additional fencing required as the adjoining neighbor, Turski,
remove? the east boundary fence, apparencly in accord with the Town's agreement.
Progress Report:
Five building permits have been issued for dje site development process:
1. A new automated entrance gate at the eno of Taylor Road.
2. A new fence has been constructed at Parcel G.
3. A water well has been drilled.
4. Rather extensive erosion control work in 1996:
(a) 40,000 square feet of jure ground cover.
(b) One concrete V-ditch, 200 feet long and one temporary V-ditch.
5. Additional erosion control work now in progress
(c) Repair of gulleys and wash-outs for erosion control.
EXHmIT NO. -3
~"
Page 2 of2
An erosion situation W:L'i created on that fragile hillside by vandals, probably kids. knocking down
the entrance fence and then running up and down the hill, when it W:L'i wet, with big truck tires.
causing deep ruts which became rivulets and deteriorated the hillside. Estimated cost, including
$5,000. for a soils srudy, is $50,000.
There is regular landscape maincenance now also.
So, we're coming along and we'll be in the design review process by November 20. Walker &
Moody Architects are handling the Design Review application. The site model and drawings for
the Design Review application are nearing completion. So we ask that the Precise Plan be
extended so that we can finish our application.
Sincerely.

This letter Is In response to your request concerning the reasons for my application to
renew the Precise Plan previously approved for Parcel G.
As you may recall, the Precise Plan approval was concomiuml with my purchasing the
propert)" ll1 1992. Allh"t time I was not living In the State. In December, 1994, 1 moved to
I<entfield. We started the process for building a fence last February that 15 just being
completed. We also hope to complete the entraIlee gate to my and Dr. ManIl's property next
mOIlth.
50, there is some progress. The demands of my life of late have Ilot permitted the luxury
of focusing on this project. Since design Is my profession, I take.it vtty seriously and want to
have the',time to concentrate on fine ntning these preliminary plans. It Is not everyday that
one builds the house they are probably going to live in the rest of their days nor has the
privilege of building on 9uch an extraordinary site. To do justice to that beautyls 80lng to take
some time.
Sincerely,

Catron stated that a Precise Development Plan was approved for this
property, which is Parcel G of the Ring Mountain Subdivision, on
November 4, 1992. The Precise Plan was set to expire three years
after the effective date of the approval.
Catron said that the Precise Development Plan was discussed
extensively prior to its final approval by the Town. The applicant
is not proposing to change any aspect of the project or of the
approval. Staff is not aware of any changes in the circumstances
of the lot, which would affect the approved Precise Plan.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take public testimony
and adopt the draft resolution recommending that the Town Council
grant a two year extension of time for implementation of the
Precise Plan.
Heckmann asked if this is the only extension that is possible for
the applicant and Anderson replied that this is not limited to one
extension, but it is unusual to get an additional extension.

Chair Sadrieh felt that the herring and sedimentation issues were not substantial and would be
further safeguarded by BCDC. The remaining issue is visual and he agreed with Commissioner
Berger that the yacht club is here to stay and there is no way they would make a decision to
jeopardize the boats. They have nothing to gain by obstructing views. He wondered if peer
review was necessary to determine if the height is appropriate. He asked Staff for an opinion on
the height. Mr. Anderson stated that it is pretty well understood that there will be a sea level rise
over time, the only uncertainty is the magnitude of the rise. Also steel piles will last a very long
time and you can't be adding height every couple years. The usual land-based measure is the 100
year storm. In this situation the 50 year storm is a good measure with a lesser amount needed
than for the 100 year, which would make the breakwater even higher. Berger commented that
maritime construction is similar to bridge building in that there is a beauty to function.
Chair Sadrieh felt that it seemed to be a cut and dry engineering issue, that no additional research
needed to be done as the tides are known and they dictate how high the breakwater has to be.
Commissioner Berger added that there is a dollar amount for each inch built. Sadrieh felt peer
review would not reveal anything new and he was willing to support the project.
Commissioner Berger asked the engineer to explain how the 50 year storm was determined. Mr.
Hardiman explained the technical methods used to make the calculations and Berger felt they were
based on reasonable assumptions.

Walker, Applicant; Assessor Parcel ~o. 38-182-42.
Mr. Anderson explained that this was the second request for extension of time on the existing
Precise Development Plan. The project was originally approved in 1992, extended in 1995, for
a five-acre property at the end of a gated private driveway leading from the Taylor Road cul-de-
sac. Nothing in the proposal has changed, this is just an extension of time. He recommended that
the Commission extend for one year as the Design Review Board submittal is well underway.
When the ORB approves, there will be different time limits.
There had been no correspondence on this item and no objections had been expressed.

RE:
Recommendations For Increasing Recvcling Efforts
At a meeting of the Tiburon Peninsula Recycling Committee, members discussed with
City Managers Bob Kleinert and Ed San Diego, Councilmember Andrew Thompson,
and Rick Powell of the Mill Valley Refuse Service (tvlVRS), several ideas which we
think could decrease both the amount of garbage disposed of from our communities and
related costs to peninsula residents We are wTiting to both Belvedere and Tiburon .
councilmembers with suggestions reflecting this discussion,:
We believe pricing mechanisms, through the franchise process, can provide effective
incentives that will help reduce the volwne of waste now generated by our residents" As
you know, state law requires a 50% cut back in waste disposed by the year 2000. All of
us--and that includes the Councils--must work toward achieving this goal which will be
difficult for all of Marin to achieve. Our suggestions for Tiburon include:
. Offer a reduced rate for residents who wish --and are able to-- use a smaller (20 2:al.)
garba2:e can. Rick has indicated his willingness to implement this incentive soon,
Residents can view the modest decrease in cost as an offset to the green can charge.
. Char2:e a hi 2:her rate for more than one can of 2:arba!!e picked UP per week. one that is
high ~nouilh to make a difference. 'vVe thiak that often tbe filling of several cans is
due to habit and could be avoided. Increased pricing for multiple can use, similar to
the progressive levels for utility and water rates, can work as a deterrent to
excessive waste disposal and result in a reduction of garbage or reuse where feasible.
. Provide onlv one pick UP per week in future contacts with the MVRS. Only a modest
number of residents now have twice weekly garbage service Every1hing possible
should be done to discourage twice weekly garbage pickups on an ongoing basis
Residents can always request a special pickup because of unusual circwnstances,
. For the commercial sector. we ur!!e Tiburon to ask that recvclin!! bins are placed in
areas such as behind ARK Row or bv the ferrv, primarily for the disposal of
cardboard--a big waste problem downtown The bins could be accessible by key in
order to prevent the commingling with public refuse.
