DATE: October 18, 2007 TO: Marin County Board of Supervisors Marin County Cities Marin County Special Districts FROM: Richard Arrow, Auditor-Controller SUBJECT: Distribution of funds pursuant to Senate Bill 418 I am pleased to announce that the Governor recently enacted into law, Senate Bill 418, that provides my office the legislative authority to release funds that were previously set aside to provide for a potential liability that was vigorously contested by the County in relation to the State's responsibility of providing out of home care services administered by the Marin County Superintendent of Schools. The attached spreadsheet indicates your agencies share of the total distribution of $24,778,259. It is with sincere appreciation and thanks to Senator Carol Migden and her staff for her efforts in supporting the citizens of Marin County with vital funds to provide for the essential serv~ces that all of us in local government are dedicated to administer. It is anticipated that distribution of these funds will occur by the end of this month. If you are in need of any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Kathy Rael at (415) 499-6177. cc: Matthew Hymel, County Administrator Mary Jane Burke, County Superintendent of Schools Patrick Faulkner, Marin County Counsel COUNTY OF MARIN DIGEST AUDITOR-CONTROLLER NPS-LCI-/ Out of Home Care Available for Distribution as Excess ERAF In Fiscal Year 2007/08 Fund 101002 101125 101158 102048 102086 102110 102160 102190 102240 102250 102270 102280 102291 102310 102320 102490 102586 . 102588 102589 102590 102591 102592 102594 102601 102602 102604 102605 102606 105010 105110 NPS-LCI Available to Distribute District , COUNTY GENERAL COUNTY FIRE SPEC I COUNTY LIBRARY COUNTY SUBTOTAL MURRAY PARK S.M.

These assemblies are an important public service and it's nice to have a large and comfortable space with proper lighting, sound and recording facilities to hold them in. Diane Crane-Iacopi deserves a special shout-out. She has been so helpful in making the arrangements and setting up the room over the years that I feel I barely have to do a thing except show up and put out pencils and cookies. Thank you all.

Many citizens have used this vacant lot as an informal pathway for decades. Although the Town is not aware of any existing dedicated public easement across the property, many citizens in Tiburon utilize this property daily as a way to reach existing public paths and lanes which lead to downtown Tiburon from the adjacent Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon and Hill Haven neighborhoods. The Town, as a matter of general policy, encourages multiple methods of neighborhood circulation, including paths and trails, as alternate means of travel separate from motor "vehicles. Therefore, Town of Tiburon staff would be interested in beginning discussions with you regarding the possible securing of a public access easement across the property, specifically along the south side property line, where a direct downslope pathway connection from Diviso Street to Centro East Street would be possible. I request the courtesy of a reply prior to November 1, 2007 as to whether you are interested in beginning constructive discussions with the Town with respect to formalizing neighborhood pedestrian access rights across the lot. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter of great interest to the Town of Tiburon.

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORK TOWN OF TIBURON S BEN:fITING SPECIAL OLYMPICS NoRTHERN CALIFORNIA PRES[NTfJ) By DIGEST ~ ~ at&t Dear Nicholas, I would like to thank you and Tiburon Public Works for supporting this year's RCP Tiburon Mile Open Water Swim and the Special Olympics Northern California. Your continued dedication and commitment to support this San Franci3co Bay Area international open-water swimming event and Special Olympics is greatly appreciated by the entire community and event staff. The experience of our athletes is very important to us and we thank you for helping us to reach our goals in giving them the race and experience they deserve! Speaking of the race, we had record breaking times this year due to favorable conditions and stellar competition on both the women's and men's side and additionally another great year at registration with almost 800 swimmers registered. The popularity of our event has grown so much in the Bay Area and we are so glad you could be there to witness that with us! Over 750 swimmers made their way from Angel Island to the Tiburon Shore in 62 degree water and even more notably, helped us raise nearly $100,000 this year for Special Olympics Northern California, making it a total of over $500,000 to date. Thank you again for your support in helping make this happen. Making waves in our commitment to this wonderful charity, the RCP Tiburon Mile featured 5 Special Olympic athletes from both Marin County, Santa Clara County and Washington D.C., giving back in more than a monetary donation but in ways that give opportunities to the athletes our charity strives for. Their participation was truly the highlight of the event for all. Our field of Elites was also the most competitive to date with both Open Water Gold Medalists and Olympic Gold Medalists lining the field. Russian Open Water Champion, Vladimir Dyatchine made came back to defend his title and doing so in a course record of 18 minutes and 20 seconds. 15 year old phenom swimmer, Chloe Sutton ran her way to another victory out running open water champion Kalyn Keller right at the finish. With open water swimming being the newest sport to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, these two athletes as well as the rest of the seeded elite field are sure to all be Olympians come 2008. The RCP Tiburon Mile is truly a magical and exciting event! Nicholas, please extend my thanks to your staff for all of their support and contributions as it truly helps to make our event what it is. I do look forward to the opportunity of working with you again in 2008! The tentative date for the 9th Annual Rep Tiburon Mile Open Water Swim is set for Sunday. October 5. 2008. Please call me at (415) 593-3250 or email me, christinew@sonc.org to discuss your continued involvement. ~l0 Christine Wilson Event Director ~.

''II · t..: c.., .' RICHARDSON'S BAY REGIONAL AGENCY HARBOR ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT . October 2, 2007 WORKING RELATIONSHIPS . Dept. of Boating and Waterways - 1) Final contract reimbursements for $14,108.00 for vessels disposed of since April 2007 on Contract # 06-214-502. 2) First reimbursement request on new contract for @14.5K has been sent for vessels disposed of since August I, 2007. . US Coast Guard - Met with the new point of contact at Station Golden Gate, Jessica Shaffer. Had a positive discussion of the issues surrounding the anchorage and she offered her cooperation and support. DEBRIS REMOVAL . Disposed of 11 vessels as well as 2 skiffs and over 80' of derelict docks. 5 boats are currently impounded. . The annual Coastal Clean-Up Day sponsored by the California Coastal Commission was a brilliant success, with over 50% more volunteers than in years past. The RBRA crew cleaned over ~ mile of beach and marsh, and we also removed 5 tires from the mud utilizing a kayak to mark them at low tide; returning later at high tide to winch them out with the "Mud Puppy". . Worked with the Boy Scouts to dispose of several derelict vessels before they were given away and to clean up their facility. RAPID RESPONSE . Two boats were rescued before hitting the shoreline. All owners are being charged for the rescue expenses. WATER QUALITY . County of Marin - The weekly testing program at Schoonmaker Beach in Sausalito has been in progress since April 1, and there have been no exceedences in either fecal coliform or enterococcus levels to date. . Three new anchor-out vessels have been added to the Waste Aweigh schedule. . Staff attended the Scoping Session for TMDL's held by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board at the Bay Model on Sept. 25, 2007. Staff had concerns in several areas that will be discussed under that agenda item. . RBRA' s annual water testing has begun and so far there are no surprises. Gates Coop still tests poorly, even with the new docks in place and the reworked sewage pipes. Results will be available in late November. OTHER . Large commercial vessels have begun to become a problem anchoring in Richardson's Bay. Staff has had some success negotiating with the owners but it may warrant additional work exploring legal options. RICHARDSON'S BAY REGIONAL AGENCY MEMORANDUM October 2, 2007 TO: RBRA Board FROM: Ben Berto, RBRA Clerk SUBJECT: October meeting There are two primary topics at this meeting. The first involves abatement of two boats belonging to the same owner. Bill has reached the points where abatement is necessary for James Hauso, owner of the two boats. The other main item for this meeting is a discussion of the State Regional Water Quality Control Board's proposed TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load plan) for Richardson's Bay. The TMDL was first discussed at the August 16 RBRA Board meeting. Since that time, the Regional Water Quality Control Board staff present at the RBRA meeting, Naomi Faeger and Farhad Ghodrati, released the Preliminary Project Report for the Richardson Bay Pathogens TMDL on September 20, and held a hearing at the Bay Model on September 25 to discuss the CEQA (equivalent) scoping hearing on the draft TMDL. A paper copy of the draft TMDL is being provided for your packets, and a link to the web address where the TMDL can be downloaded has been emailed to you. Of particular note are a number of areas in the draft TMDL where the RBRA is proposed to take an active role. I will provide a more detailed report on the draft TMDL and recommendations for RBRA's response by the October meeting. The Mooring Program continues to inch along. Staff will report on the latest status. I.

Also approx. 26' fiberglass Bayliner powerboat. OWNER / CARETAKER: James Hauso NOTIFICATION: Personally posted all notices aboard Mr. Hauso's vessels. Mr. Hauso was contacted personally on September lSt\ 2007 regarding this action, and also on October 3rd, 2007 by telephone when he was informed that the hearing was scheduled and that he should either correct the situation or attend the hearing to argue his case before the Board. REASON FOR ACTION: Over the last year, Mr. Hauso has owned or been caretaker upon three vessels that have either sunk or become adrift and subsequently damaged beyond repair in Richardson's Bay. The RBRA has had to deal with all three of these vessels, with total costs of salvage, demolition, and disposal to date over $10,000.00. He has now brought two similar vessels in to the Bay and anchored them. If left in their current condition, these vessels pose an extraordinarily high risk of breaking away or sinking in Richardson's Bay, where they will be very difficult and expensive to salvage and remove. Owner has been advised, that the vessel must be relocated out of Richardson Bay in order to drop this action.

ROLL CALL Present: Chair Doyle, Vice-Chair Frymier, Boardmembers Corcoran, Glassner and Teiser Absent: None Ex-Officio: Planning Manager Watrous, Associate Planner Tyler, Assistant Planner Phillips, and Minutes Clerk Harper B. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None C. STAFF BRIEFING Planning Manager Watrous stated that the applications for 78 Red Hill Circle and 102 Via Los Altos were to be continued to the October 18,2007 meeting, and that an appeal was filed regarding 9 Burrell Court which has been scheduled for the November 7,2007 Town Council meeting. D. CONSENT CALENDAR 1. 2 LAS P ALMAS WAY ANSARI, RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING DECISION There was no public comment. ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Corcoran) to adopt the resolution memorializing partial approval of a site plan and architectural review application for additions to an existing single family dwelling with a variance for reduced side yard setback, but denying the variance for excess wall height. Vote: 5-0. E. OLD BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD 2. 78 RED HILL CIRCLE TO 10/18/07 LANY ADOO, DECKSN ARIANCES - CONTINUED F. NEW BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD 3. 249 DIVISO STREET FROST, WALLSNARIANCE The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of exterior alterations on a property developed with a sing le- family dwelling. The alterations would include resurfacing TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 and expansion of the existing narrow driveway to allow for an additional off-street parking space, a solid wood fence along the side property lines, various stone retaining walls throughout the property and a new monument mailbox adjacent to the street. French doors would also be added to the side of the home. A solid wood fence, 8 feet in height, would be constructed along the side property line. The fence would increase from 6 feet at Centro West, to a maximum height of 10 feet adjacent to the driveway. As the maximum fence height within the required side yard-setback is 6 feet, a variance is requested to construct a fence of excess height. Warren Simmonds, landscape architect, said that one of the main issues is the fence that runs from the comer down the si~e property line. He stated that because of the grade, the fence height would get to 10 feet and then step down. He said that they would be adding to the existing railing in order to meet the current building code and lower the 4 foot monument mailbox to 2 feet to address neighbor concerns. The Chair opened the public hearing. Mike Lee said he is requesting the additional fence height due to privacy concerns, as a 6 foot tall fence provides marginal privacy or sound protection between the two properties. He requested enough foliage be planted to maintain privacy and that the fence be set as close to the retaining wall as possible so they can have enough dirt space to grow or re-grow ivy. He questioned the location of the fence in relation to the property line, citing discussions with the previous owner that the fence line acts as the property line. He requested that the taller fence extend a few more feet at the top to block their view of the front door, which faces their bedroom and bathroom window. He also requested that the existing tree remain, and if it needed to be removed due to constructio~ that the privacy lost be addressed. Vice-Chair Frymier discussed the relocation of the proposed monument mailbox, as it was confusing to determine which house it belonged to and would have been a safety concern by blocking line of sight. Mr. Simmonds said they would be happy to work with the Lee's on moving the mailbox and reducing its height. He said that the owner had had a survey done and the property line is several feet beyond the fence, however, they are happy to replace the fence in the existing location and thought the ivy would have a chance to grow back up. . The Chair closed the public hearing. The Board discussed fence details and monument lighting with the applicant. Vice-Chair Frymier commended the applicant and neighbor for an amicable resolution. She noted that the Board had recently denied a fence that was a solid 12 foot wall and did not make sense. However, she said that this fence would only be 12 feet tall for a very short section and she felt the improvement would be wonderful for the area. She felt that the existing fence and vegetation needed to be removed and replaced and asked both sides to be respectful in planting some vegetation to provide privacy for the neighbor's hot tub. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 2 Boardmember Glassner agreed the neighbors were working things out nicely and suggested that planting new ivy would be a great gesture. He felt that the monument mailbox would be unobtrusive with downlighting. He said that he had no objection to the fence extension. Boardmember Corcoran felt the proposal was reasonable and that a logical place for the mailbox might be at the end of the driveway. He felt that the fence would be a reasonable compromise, and suggested that staff later be allowed to approve the exact placement of the fence extension up to 5-6 feet out. Chair Doyle noted that the wall on Tiburon Boulevard was 12 feet straight up, and suggested installing some wire on the 'fence to assist in the growth of the ivy. ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Glassner) that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approving the project with attached conditions of approval, with the additional condition of approval that staff approve the exact location of the extension of the 6 foot fence to the west, up to a maximum height of 13 feet and to the west by approximately 6 feet. Vote: 5-0. 4. 38 REED RANCH ROAD SHADAN, SPAN ARIANCE The applicant is requesting Design Review approval to legalize the as-built construction of a spa and deck. The property is currently developed with a sing le- family dwelling. The spa is located within 4 feet of the western (right) side property line, within the 15 foot side yard setback required under the RO-2 zone. Since spas and swimming pools are only permitted within the required rear yard setback, a variance is requested for reduced side yard setback. Kam Shadan indicated he reviewed and agreed with all conditions of approval except that he requested the Board waive the additional $935 fee for as-built construction. The Board noted they were not able to waive fees. There were no public comments. Boardmember T eiser said he met with the neighbors next door who were happy with the location of the spa, and he supported the request with conditions attached. All other Boardmembers indicated their support as well. ACTION: It was MIS (Glassner/Frymier) that the project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approving the project with the attached conditions of approvaL Vote: 5-0. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 3 5. 771 TmURON BOULEVARD ROSS, NEW DWELLING 771 TIBURON BOULEV ARD GINA ALIOTO ROSS EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED LOT SIZE 14,472 S.F.

Currently, a partially demolished single-family dwelling occupies the property. The applicant originally submitted for a Staff-Level Design Review for an addition of less than 500 square feet. During construction of the approved additio~ the walls of the existing second story were found to be unsound and were subsequently removed during demolition. The demolition of the second story constituted more than 50% of the existing walls of the structure, therefore classified as "new construction." The proposed structure would create a lot coverage of2,464 square feet (17%) which is below the maximum permitted lot coverage in the R-1 zoning district (30%) and a gross floor area of2,658 square feet, which is also below the maximum permitted floor area for a parcel of this size (3,447 square feet). Boardmember Teiser said he visited the property, construction was still going o~ and questioned whether the builder had to stop work. Jerry Frate, architect, noted that a stop work order was issued, but the Building Official had the owner and applicant sign a document which waived their right to retain anything not approved by the Board. There were no public comments. Boardmember Teiser questioned comments from a letter from the owner at 775 Tiburon Boulevard. Gina Ross, owner, said she spoke with the neighbor that morning, explaining that this was a new homeowner. She explained to him that the two-story home was already in existence and the building was only proposed to be one or two feet higher than what was previously there, but he felt the height would block his view. Boardmember T eiser said the tenant living in another home said that the new height would interfere with their sunset view. Ms. Ross said she spoke to the property manager and they indicated there was no problem with the proposal. Boardmember Corcoran asked if the roof could be lowered 2.5 feet to the original height. Mr Frate said that the walls were taken from an 8-foot plate to a 9-foot plate, with larger spans and more width to the house, and the height needed to accommodate the additional floor area He noted that the neighbor at 775 Tiburon did not live directly next door. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 4 Boardmember Glassner said there is a potential for view blockage ofMt. Tamalpais two houses back and he was wondering if something could be done to reduce the roof height. Boardmember Corcoran said he stood at the neighbors' home two doors down and the only place the house would be seen is from right in front of the window. He added that there was not even a window on the side of the house and the home is oriented toward the bay and Sausalito. He said that he is sympathetic to blocking views ofMt. Tam, but felt that this was an attractive design and complies with the Town's design and height guidelines. Vice-Chair Frymier said she would like to see the roofline come down a little but could support the proposal as is. She said she is conservative when it comes to view blockage, but felt the proposal was a wonderful improvement to the property. Boardmember Teiser said the tenant was not present and had not made a formal objection to the project. He felt the height of the building was reasonable with a 9- foot plate height. Chair Doyle said he understood that the objecting neighbor has a side view impact from two lots across. He felt the house was a great improvement, particularly when viewed from Tiburon Boulevard. ACTION: It was MIS (FrymierlTeiser) that the application is categorical exempt from the provisions of CEQA and approving the project with attached conditions of approval. Vote: 5-0. Chair Doyle called for a break at 7:49 p.m., and thereafter, the meeting was reconvened at 7:55 p.m. 6. 275 DIVISO STREET WILSEYIRON, NEW DWELLING 275 DIVISO STREET . KATHLEEN AND NICHOLAS WILSEY EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED 18,050 S.F. NA NA NA 3,795 3,805 MAX NA 24.8% 30.0% MAX NA 30' 30' MAX NA 8' & 8' 8' NA 15' 15' NA 25' 25' NONE LOT SIZE FLOOR AREA LOT COVERAGE BUILDING HEIGHT SIDE YARDS FRONT YARD REAR YARD VARIANCESIEXCEPTION The proposed project involves the construction of a new single-family dwelling on a currently vacant lot. The upper level would include a living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, and a three car garage. A deck would extend off the dining room and connect with a larger main deck at the rear of the home, accessed by the breakfast noo~ kitchen and living room. The lower level would include three bedrooms, two bathrooms, laundry room, and master bedroom suite. A TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 5 smaller deck would extend toward the rear of the home with access from the master bedroom suite and two bedrooms. In additio~ a five to six foot high entry fence would extend across the front of the property along Diviso Street. The proposed structure would result in lot coverage of 4,469 square feet (25%), which is below the maximum permitted lot coverage in the R-l zone (30%). The proposed structure would result in a gross floor area of3,795 square feet, which is below the maximum permitted floor area ratio for a property of this size (3,805 square feet). Dean Jones, architect, described the project and his discussions with several of the neighbors. He said that he visited Robin Lea who lives on the comer across the street. He said that the original story poles blocked out Ms. Lea's view of San Francisco, and he presented two photographs from her home~ while seated on her patio. He said they did not change the height of the story poles but lowered the ribbons on them only very recently. He showed photos indicating the suggested height of the structure, which would drop the building 2 feet into the ground with the exception of the garage. He presented another illustration of being seated on Ms. Lea's patio which takes out a small segment of the hip on the roof element of the Bay but still leaves the skyline. Vice-Chair Frymier said she was at the property around 1 :00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. today and she did not see the lowered view, felt it seems like a waste of time moving forward with the project since the Board did not see the lowered taping. Mr. Jones said the tape was confusing, but the adjusted tape reflected the new ridge line of the roof. Planning Manager Watrous recommended proceeding with the item, as there were many neighbors who may want to address their issues. Mr. Jones presented additional photographs from a seated position on the Lea's couch. He also showed photos taken from the Madden's home across the street and view from the De Mandel's deck at 2021 Vistazo East. The Chair opened the public hearing. Robin Lea said she has lived next door for about 11 years. She said her aunt sold the subject lot in 1972 and was sure no house would ever be built there to spoil the view. Ms. Lea said that she did not realize a 4,000 square foot house could be built on the lot. She stated that the proposed house would be almost the same size as hers, even though her lot is more than twice the size. She said that she would prefer a smaller house be built and said that the house would impact skyline views from her living room and outdoor patio. She said that she misunderstood the new tape on the story poles and said that she would still lose a lot of her views of Angel Island, some water, and a comer of the city view, replaced with a broadside view of the entire west side of the house. She said that Mr. Jones indicated to her that they would agree for her to choose trees to screen the lower level and if the house is lowered by two feet, they would have less ofa view of the building. She noted that the chimney has also been reduced in height. She said that a recent appraisal of her house referred to her world class and maintaining her view is very important. She believed that the center tall hall intended for ventilation and light could still be lowered somewhat and the windows be made smaller or eliminated to reduce the overall mass and resolve intrusive light issues for her neighbors. She said that the process has not been antagonistic and the neighbors are good at compromise, so she felt the matter could be worked out to everyone's satisfaction. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 6 John Madden said he lives directly across the street from the proposed property. He said the proposed structure obstructs 7/Sth of the water view from their dining room and family room. He stated that the highest section would have a 17 foot high ceiling with windows wrapping around it and he voiced concerns with height and lighting from the three windows facing directly across into their master bedroom. He said Mr. Jones visited the house and explained green building practices and the proposal to eliminate the cupola. He said that they are confused by the story pole ribbons and he requested clarification about portions of the project design. He said that reducing the height 2 feet and eliminating the windows would be great and he asked also that new story poles be erected ~ithout the ribbons. Rob De Mandel, said their primary concerns have to do with minor water view impacts and lighting effects in the upper portions of the structure on their nighttime views. He said that a pathway goes through the property which has been used for many years. He said that they would see some of the front and top of the house, and he voiced concerns about lighting from the upper parts of the building. He felt the path would be useful for safety reasons in the case of an emergency evacuation as well as for hikers and commuters who are able to walk down to the ferry or bus stop. He asked that the effects of lighting be mitigated and thought that lowering the upper parts of the building would help. Doug Foree said he has no view problems, but questioned the project's approval prior to an evaluation of a soils report. He felt the proposed house was beautiful but looked like a small hotel and seemed too large for the area. He questioned the defmition of the CEQA exemption, and Planning Manager Watrous explained why staff made a preliminary determination that the project would be exempt from CEQA. Mary Foree voiced opposition to views being obstructed for Robin Lea and other neighbors. She said they were fortunate to have an incredible view and wished that the project could be situated on a larger lot. Margaret Patten said she lives across the street from the project and said that they would lose their view of the Belvedere Cove. She acknowledged that this is not their primary view but they currently enjoy it and her husband is an avid fisherman who often looks at the tides. She said there was not enough parking in the neighborhood and many construction trucks go up Diviso very fast. She suggested a shuttle system be provided for construction equipment and workers for this project. She discussed the pathway and escape routes and felt the situation would be dangerous in an emergency without this path. She thought the home was large, acknowledged the rights of property owners to build and felt the home would be beautiful, but voiced concerns over neighbors' view impacts and the entire construction process. Bill Lukens said he lives directly below the site, and was shocked to see how big the house is proposed to be given its location in Old Tiburon. He felt the project was out of character in terms of its size, prominence on the lot, visual bulk, and view impacts. He felt there was enough room to move it down the hill and suggested the siting be revisited. He stated that the path has been in existence for as long as 45 years. He said that the path connects to the downtown and in light of our Get Ready Marin program and concerns about preserving paths, he felt it should be retained. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 7 He noted the path has always been used openly by the public and asked for an official opinion from the Town Council. He said that the home would be sited right on natural drainageway for the lot, and felt it will create serious issues unless properly analyzed. Sherry De Mandel echoed her husband's comments, stating that their main concern is the lights at night. She thanked staff and the Board for their work and thanked Mr. Jones who was also their architect. Mr. Jones addressed the central element on the structure, noting its value for day lighting. He said that it is an essential part of the project, as there would be no air conditioning units, and it is a way of doing natural convection and moving air through the house. He said the applicants are sorry they cannot be here and would be happy to lower the house, as they want to be good neighbors and reach a good'compromise. He noted that the windows around the top element are all operable and 2 feet square, so the windows are not too big and their main function is for air movement and day lighting. Boardmember Teiser questioned if there were other ways of lighting, such as skylights facing toward the Bay and away from the neighborhood and use of roof ventilation rather than the architectural feature. Mr. Jones said skylights would face the south and be counterproductive to the actual function of drawing air from the north side of the house. He said they have also expressed an interest in being more self-sufficient and installing some photovoltaic panels in the future which would be on the south side. He added that another function of the element is as a part of the sculptural form of the roof. Mr. Jones noted that the chimney would be lowered 5 feet and it would be a gas fireplace. He said that they removed a detail element at the Madden's request and could also consider removing the dormer on the dining room, but the dormer brings light and ventilation into the dining room. He thanked everyone for their comments about the house being beautiful, and noted that there are no variances requested as part of this application. Boardmember Corcoran felt some of the house's massive appearance would be obstructed by trees. Mr. Jones noted that they would allow Ms. Lea to select the size and species of the trees and they will plant them, adding that they are really trying to cooperate with the neighbors. Chair Doyle said that the elevation drawings flatten out the structure and the shadows being cast are not see~ but he still felt that the house would look somewhat like a hotel. Mr. Jones said 'they have taken special concern and consideration in terms of articulating the design, noting the horizontal and vertical offsets which would break up the bulk and mass. Boardmember Corcoran said Mr. Lukens mentioned moving it downhill and also referred to the issue of the public pathway. Mr. Jones said the reasons they did not move the house downhill was because it would be more ofa view obstruction for Ms. Lea and increase the distance from the street to the garage, causing access problems on a downslope. He noted that there is also consideration for putting in a swimming pool on the lower portion of the property. He stated that the owners would prefer not doing the pathway. He had a meeting with Director Anderson and they discussed liability, responsibility, maintenance, care, expense, liability, and at this time the owner would not want to pursue the pathway for all of those reasons. He added that the path could result in privacy concerns, as it would run past the master bedroom. TIDURON D.R.D. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 8 Boardmember Glassner asked if an easement for a public pathway had been established. Planning Manager Watrous said Director Anderson has discussed this issue with the Town Attorney. He said that although there is a path across the property that has been used by the public, a public path has not been legally established. He stated that the Town would like to see the path established but does not have the authority to require it at this time. The Chair closed the public hearing. Boardmember T eiser felt the public path must addressed by the Town, not the Board. He suggested continuing the item, as there were many issues with neighbors and the Board must be comfortable with the view corridors and what the house would or would not block. He noted that the house is below the FAR and lot coverage, but he felt that does not mean they have a right to go up to the maximum and build what seems like a massive house on the lot. He felt that a CAD rendering or model would be helpful to understand the perspective of the mass of the house on the lot. He said that he was glad that there would be no lighting in the central tower and that it would be lowered. He wanted to see a landscape plan showing the location of the trees and the location of the swimming pool. He suggested that a preliminary drainage plan address water runoff to the lower areas would be helpful. Boardmember Glassner feh the presentation was premature, as there were significant view issues with a number of neighbors which have not been addressed. He stated that more work was needed to drop the roofline, spread out the house or make it smaller. He said that light pollution issues remain due to the number of windows, even if there would be no lighting in the tower. Boardmember Corcoran thanked the architect for providing a gorgeous design and wished the Board did not have to desecrate it with changes. He thought that the house could be approved as is in a different location, but due to neighbors' concerns and view issues, changes need to be made. He appreciated the environmentally sensitive design and thought that perhaps some views could be given up to accomplish the green design principles. He acknowledged that any time a home is built next door, property values will be somewhat affected, but he felt Design Review is a balancing process and the applicant has a right to derive value from the property. He was unclear about the pathway and felt it would be helpful for the Town staff or Town Attorney to provide some guidance on the matter. He said that it would be a nice gesture for the applicant to work with the Town on the pathway, as such paths give neighborhoods character. He stated that the Board needed to view the revised story poles. Vice-Chair Frymier stated that when a house is built on a vacant lot, there will always be resistance. She felt the architect has been very diplomatic and cautioned everyone in moving forward. She stated that the issue of the pathway is a legal one and not in the Board's domain. She felt the architect has done a great job thus far, but she said that the house did not feel like it would be indigenous to the area. She characterized the design as too busy and over-articulated. She said the applicant was "not making friends" by bringing in a large Mediterranean house, a pool and no pathway, and view issues, and she recommended a continuance. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 9 Chair Doyle said that this is a beautiful design and felt that the mass it was something of an optical illusion and would not be as large as it appears from the drawings. He said that the design follows the Hillside Guidelines, has been lowered and stair stepped the house down the hillside. He thought the materials were beautiful and believed that the house would blend nicely into the hill and be more hidden when viewed from below by the decks and trees. He liked the idea of a public pathway, but felt it was more of a neighborhood issue. Vice-Chair Frymier noted that the Board did not talk extensively about the view issues, which were a resounding concern, and she asked the architect not to forget this issue. ACTION: It was MIS (Teiser/Glassner) to continue the application to the November 1, 2007 meeting. Vote: 5-0 Chair Doyle called for a break at 9: 11 p.m., and thereafter reconvened the regular meeting at 9:18 p.m. 7. 85 EAST VIEW AVENUE AREA EXCEPTION HOPPE, NEW DWELLINGN ARIANCEIFLOOR 85 EAST VIEW AVENUE LOT SIZE FLOOR AREA LOT COVERAGE BUILDING HEIGHT SIDE YARDS FRONT YARD REAR YARD V ARIANCESIEXCEPTION SCOTT HOPPE EXISTING PROPOSED REQUIRED .2,520 S.F.

The subject property is currently vacant. The fIrst (lowest) level of the house would include a two-car garage and a one- car garage, along with a utility room. The second level would include two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry room. The third level would include a master bedroom suite, along with a guest room and bathroom. The fourth level would include a family room, kitchen, dining room and a half bathroom. The fifth (highest) level would include a living room. Terraces and/or decks would extend otfthe fourth and ftfth floors, along with an "access terrace" on the fifth level providing some access from East View Avenue above. The five levels would be connected by an interior stairway, with no elevator proposed for the house. The house would require variances TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 10 for reduced front, side and rear setbacks, excess lot coverage and excess building height, along with a floor area exception. Scott Hoppe, owner, said he expects to request a continuance in the hope of revising the design to meet the concerns of the Town. He was aware that he is requesting a larger house, but felt that he is taking the Hillside Guidelines into account and would have a house roughly the same size as abutting properties. He feels passionate about urban design and architecture, and said that he seeks to build a home which would conform to the pattern of development of Corinthian Island as a whole and minimize the negative impacts onto the community, yet at the same time produce a significant work of architecture. He stated that the site was the location of the landslide which occurred on Corinthian Island in the 1980' s. He noted that the property has a flat area at the bottom with a steep slope above that affects their design. He said that his goal was to present the project, take input from the community and from the Board, make revisions as necessary and resubmit the current plan. He said one big advantage of this design is that they would be able to drive a crane on the property and have the house erected in less than three weeks. He said that they would put the slab in first and have a staging area to build the house. Charles Stewart, architect, discussed the importance of placing a living level on East View A venue rather than the garage. He stated that this would give the house a public presence and allow placement of a roof terrace adjacent to the living space for outdoor living area and a safe, convenient place for their children to play. He said that the steepness of the lot presents a design challenge but also allows placement of the garage and utility areas at the lowest levels of the residence. He stated that 33% of the gross building area would lie below the natural grade and about 22%, or 3,300 square feet, of living area would lie below. He noted that they would place the utilitarian areas in the least valuable areas. He stated that the steel frame, steel decking, and concrete slabs of the house would give it a superior resistance to seismic and wind forces. He added that the design would permit the use of glass in the most desirable view areas and use 70% recycled building materials, and include photovoltaic cells on the roof. He stated that Corinthian Island has trapezoidal lots with steep grades and many tower-like structures. He said that many homes step back into the hillsides and most have 3 levels. He stated that the residence to the east has 4 living levels with a carport on top. The Chair opened the public hearing. John Bonaparte said he embraces the goals that the applicant enumerated for the property, but he did not feel the building meets those goals. He thought that staff did a terrific job in the staff report on each variance and he echoed their concerns. He said that the project would be far too large for the lot itself and not in keeping with the character or the buildings of the island. He said that he did not have any idea how they would stage the crane, but felt this would mean significant road closures, which is a big safety issue for them, as there is only one way on and off the island. He said that he liked the modem design, but felt it was too large. Chris Christensen said he has owned the property next door for about 25 years. He said the structure would be just way too big for the area. He stated that house would completely block his view ofMt. Tam, of the lagoon, and everything to that direction, adding that the applicant has stated that he also intends to build a 20 foot high wall along this side of the lot. He said he TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 11 would like to see the project scaled down a bit. He invited the Board to visit his home. He noted that there was a landslide in 1980 and at the time, the engineer said that it would be impossible to build upon the lot due to the way they secured the uphill road. He added that the 5 foot high screen wall on top would block his views even further. Boardmember Teiser said he realized that the views from Mr. Christensen's bay window view would be blocked, but he questioned if this was considered a borrowed view. Planning Manager Watrous said that this would likely be considered a borrowed view. Brian Chong said the applicant has been good in working with neighbors. He pointed out his deck and primary entrance to their house on an illustration submitted by the applicant and said the photograph misrepresented how much house one would see. He said that they would see the entire house while standing on their deck. He liked the modem style but the size of the house is a problem. He felt that 5 stories is far too large and that the staff report and letter from Brian Taz reflect how he feels. Camille Bosworth said that this was a great house, but would be way too big for the lot. She agreed that the applicant has been good about working with the neighbors but felt the house should be about 1,000-1,500 square feet smaller. Mr. Hoppe said he has no way of evaluating what views would be blocked from the house across the street or from Mr. Christensen's house other than by the top of the privacy screen. He stated that the idea of the screen was to provide mutual privacy between the two residences. He stated that the intent to stair step the house back was to create privacy, as that was one of the primary concerns. He asked the Board to look at Mr. Christensen's house, which he felt has expansive 180 degree views from Raccoon Straits over to Mt. Tam, while the new house would have no views. He stated that he does not seek to have equality in terms of views and they expect to only get a view of the tip ofMt. Tam or Belvedere. Mr. Hoppe stated that the house can be made smaller through several methods. He wanted to distinguish between the bulk of the house and the floor area of the house, as he hoped to address the bulk while still maintaining floor area that would provide a certain amount of utility and meet his family's long-term housing needs. He said they can modify the house to follow the natural topography or they can try to model it to make it look smaller. He felt that this could be accomplished by reducing the size of the house by a few hundred square feet. He said they need to determine whether to abandon the design they worked on for six months, or follow the recommendations of the staff report. He said that this is the third desig~ as the first was not submitted and the second had a setback that was moved back from Mr. Christensen's property line. He stated that there is land between the two properties that may belong to the Town. Boardmember Glassner said the owner asked for the Board's direction, but it appears he has not worked with the Planning Division to address safety and the access issue, as well with other staging issues. Mr. Hoppe said they submitted detailed documents supporting their plan, and that he completely disagrees with staff report, with responses to these concerns in their original submittal. TIDURON D.R.D. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 12 Boardmember Glassner asked why Mr. Hoppe did not follow the advice of staff Mr. Hoppe said he was told to make the house smaller and he did not feel that the spirit of cooperation they sought was extended by the Planning Division. He said the design was thoroughly thought out, and he said it is hard to get people to believe that a big house is easier to construct than a small house. Chair Doyle questioned if it would be easier to construct the house if the bottom foundation was done fIrst. Mr. Hoppe said if you do not have a staging area at the bottom, it cannot be done. He said all roads can still remain open and this has been done before. He stated that he could put the garage at the top and having a perfectly satisfactory house, but this is not the issue. He believed that this plan can be revised to achieve less bulk yet more floor area within the structure than going the other way. The Chair closed the public hearing. Vice-Chair Frymier said that this application reminded her of the application for 1893 Centro West, where the applicant came in with a house that was too large and asked the Board to tell the applicant what they thought. She said she did not want to sit here and throw out ideas, as the staff report contains numbers that speak loudly as to what is needed. She stated that the project was "way off" the Town guidelines and requires so many variances she questioned why the Board was even discussing it. She said that the applicant knows what is needed, respectfully adding that the applicant came to the Board with something very outlandish and having the Board listen to it was not right. Chair Doyle said this was the first time he saw the design and felt the Board should provide its opinions from a design standpoint. Boardmember Teiser suggested lopping off the top floor which would solve some of the problems by reducing the floor area and height and addressing some view issues. He did not object to having a garage at the bottom, as he felt the staging was logical. He stated that there is more than one way off Corinthian Island, just in the opposite direction in the case of an emergency. He said he liked the basic design, architectural treatment and colors. Boardmember Corcoran said he had a problem with the design. He felt this would be a gorgeous home in some other location, but after looking at all the other homes on Corinthian Island, this does not work, particularly right above Ark Row. He did not think such a modem home was appropriate in this location, as a cotemporary house would look dated in the future. He said the red home at the end of Main Street and Ark Row look historic which is what is so great about the area. He saluted the applicant for using sustainable building materials. He acknowledged that the applicant put in a lot of time and energy into designing the house, but he purchased an incredibly difficult piece of land. He said that a lot of time and energy also was put into the Downtown Design Guidelines, and felt that the house should be compatible with the character of Ark Row. He noted the number of variances requested and suggested the applicant keep the floor area under the FAR for the lot. He characterized the project as "in every way, too much," and said that he would never vote to approve this design in this location. He hoped that the process of approving the application would not drag out like the 1893 Centro West project. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 13 Boardmember Glassner reinforced what Vice-Chair Frymier opened with, stating that the variances are so significant, that whether the house design is beautiful or not, it likely will not be approved. He stated that Town's Planning Division is in place for a purpose, which is to give input and direction for successful plans. He felt the mass and bulk issues were significant and that requesting a floor area ratio 100% was a futile exercise. He acknowledged that there were access issues but he felt the staging issues could be handled. He felt the home design was very modem and beautifu~ but may be at odds with existing structures in the neighborhood and would be highly visible. He stated that the design of the home should be significantly redone and asked that the applicant work closely with staff to work out the logistics. He said the other option would be to deny the application and have the applicant start over, but he hated to see an application denied. He said that he had sympathy for the applicant wanting to build something for his family, but stated that he bought a difficult property without having his eyes open, and this house was not supportable at this magnitude. Chair Doyle said it is hard to tell an applicant that one style cannot be built, as other contemporary homes were modem in their time. He felt the style of the house was beautiful, but felt a little urban for its place and more like it should be on a San Francisco hillside. He said that view of the house in the rendering view was beautiful and the house would not be imposing from the front. He said that the lot is between two streets where nothing has been, and he felt that it made good sense to put the garage down below. He said that the house was well thought out for a challenging lot, but that it would be good to shrink the house, as it seems massive and big or the space and needs to be smaller in some fashion. He did not know if cutting off the top floor would work in taking enough floor area out, but felt it was a beautiful element. He said that the applicant should not be penalized for putting something on the top Ieve~ but the bulk is the issue. Boardmember T eiser said there are other contemporary houses up the street, so he did not think the design was completely out of character. Planning Manager Watrous stated that he wanted to make sure that the applicant had clear direction from the Board, and asked if the Board agreed with the applicant that the issues with the house could be resolved by reducing the size of the house by several hundred square feet. Chair Doyle said that for him, it was more of a visual thing than what the numbers are and he wanted the mass changed. Boardmember Corcoran felt the house would be unlikely to be approved with the number of variances and the applicant is requesting a lot of space. He added that lopping off the top floor would reduce floor area. Boardmember Glassner felt there were many other issues which must be addressed, and as much as the applicant might not want to hear it, sitting down with the planner would be helpful. Chair Doyle felt the question is how to reduce the bulk of the house. Boardmember Teiser said it was the total height and excessive floor area and noted the other houses on the other side of Corinthian Island have elevators. Chair Doyle said if this house was built on a flat lot, it would be a 5-story house, but this is a one-story house when viewed from the street and felt that the bulk was the issue. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #17 10/4/07 14 ACTION: It was M/S (Corcoran/Teiser) to continue the item to the November 15, 2007 meeting. Vote: 5-0. G.

Public comment - No members of the public were present for comment. II. Minutes: - The minutes for the regular meeting held July 16,2007 approved. Motion - McCaskill: Second - Riessen: Vote 5-0. III. Finance Reports: Burchert reviewed the August Cash Reports. She explained that all of the expenses for summer camp were accounted for with the exception of $624 still owed to Angel Island State Park. She reported that it appeared that some of the summer staff expenses were not allocated correctly. Burchert would review the expense reports and make the necessary adjustments. These errors would not impact the bottom line, but for future referencelbudget forecasting it was important to make the corrections. Burchert noted the addition of the "Workers' Comp Funding" line item and explained that we received our refund from Bay Cities. Tripp noted that Adult Programs Net was up from last year. IV. Information and Discussion Items 1. Guest - Pierce MacDonald: Not Present. Burchert spoke to Pierce that afternoon and reported on her behalf. MacDonald is requesting a member of the recreation committee and citizen of Belvedere to serve on the General Plan Steering Committee. It was decided that McCaskill will be the primary representative from BTJR and Bauer will be the alternate. 2. Tennis Court Update: Burchert reported that progress has been made with the Del Mar field. She reported that the sprinkler system was installed and functional, thus cutting back on dust on the courts. She stated that she would discuss the matter with Dana when she was back in the office and was optimistic the courts would be open in the next couple of weeks. 3. Audit: Burchert presented the audit for the FY ending February 2007. She noted the fund equity reserves on page 12 of the audit, stating that these monies were not line items in our budget, but were available for expenses, as needed. McCaskill had nothing further to add regarding the audit. 4. Information Technology Policy: On behalf of Barbara Creamer, Burchert explained the necessity of the technology use policy enclosed in the packet. Creamer obtained the policy from the Town of Tiburon. Burchert stated that the department and its employees needed some type of directive on which correspondence should be kept and available for public review according to the Brown Act. She also explained that this policy outlined the intent of use of the departments' technology for the employees. Tripp stated that the "No Expectations of Privacy" clause seemed too severe and that it be reworded. Sullivan stated that "in the system" be added to the fomih sentence of the clause to mitigate the severity of the sentence. The committee concurred. Riessen asked that this sentence be restructured accordingly and the re-write be emailed to the committee members for review. Upon approval by the committee, Riessen would sign the policy to be implemented as department policy. 5. Resolution 2007-09: On behalf of Creamer, Burchert presented Resolution 2007-09 authorizing investment of monies in the local agency investment fund. This resolution will update a previous resolution dated October 12, 1988. Bauer was confused as to why there were two signatures required and could that be made clearer on the resolution. Roderick stated that perhaps it was departmental policy. Burchert stated that she was uncertain as to why two signatures were required, but she would make an inquiry to Creamer and have the resolution reflect the changes. Riessen stated that once the changes were made, please notify him and he would sign the resohltion. 6. Consultants Agreement: Riessen explained how the agreement with Barbara Creamer came about and what her role would be in the organization of the department and director recruitment process. Tripp expressed concerns that the committee was not notified about these arrangements prior to the contract being signed. Sullivan asked how the fee for services was arrived at. Riessen explained that the hourly fee reflected the upper end of a directors' salary as stated on a recent salary survey conducted of all Marin agencies (except San Rafael and Novato). Sullivan stated for the record that no administrative personnel contracts be signed without prior committee approval. Motion to approve: McCaskill/Second: Bauer. Vote: 5-0. 7. Golf Tournament Update: Burchert reported that the Golf Tournament generated approximately $13,000 with the City of Belvedere contributing the difference of about $2,000 to bring the total revenue to $15,000. The committee thanked George and the City for all of its efforts. Burchert thanked the golf committee specifically for taking an integral role in the organization of the tournament. 8. Personnel Update: Burchert reported that Judge Taylor resigned as of the end of August. She stated he left on a good note to a position more suited to his abilities. Burchert explained that a new recreation coordinator named Tina Morales was hired. She was formally a part-time staff person working in our academy programs last year and this summer was the director of Angel Island Camp. Tina started as a coordinator on September 3,2007. 9. Executive Director Status: Burchert reported the two challenges with the director position as it's currently structured; (1) Some of the administrative tasks are not typical of a recreation director position, i.e. a candidate in the recreation field may not have a working knowledge of administering health benefits, and (2) Hiring an individual who does have a working knowledge, i.e. a human resources manager type candidate, does not bring the necessary perspective needed to be a decision maker on behalf of the recreation department. Therefore, Creamer and Burchert wanted to explore the possibility of the town assuming some of those atypical administrative tasks on behalf of the department. McCaskill expressed concern that if we scaled the position back to that extent, then what does the position entail and is it still a 30 hour a week position as advertised. Tripp expressed concern about restructuring the position during the recruitment process. Burchert and McCaskill agreed that we need to move forward with the recruitment process at this time. After reviewing the potential candidates with Creamer, Burchert presented the top recommended candidates for the director position. The committee agreed they would like to review all of the resumes submitted. Riessen suggested that the remaining resumes be copied and sent to each of the committee members for review. Committee members will have two weeks to review the resumes. Tripp explained the applicant ranking system used in the previous recruitment. Bauer agreed to collate the information and the hiring sub-committee (McCaskill, Riessen and Bauer) would convene to discuss the top candidates and schedule interviews. Sullivan suggested conducting phone interviews first and inviting the top candidates from that process in for an in-person interview. 2 IV. Action Items: None VI.
