ACTION ITEMS
1. Holiday Tree - Request by Chamber of Commerce for contribution to purchase Holiday
Tree (Town Manager Curran)
Town Manager Curran said that the Chamber had purchased a reusable holiday tree for $20,000
and were requesting funds from the City of Belvedere and Town of Tiburon to defray half of the
one-time cost. Curran said that the Chamber would pay for the maintenance and storage of the
tree.
Town Manager Curran said that the Belvedere Council had pledged $2,500 and that the Chamber
had requested $7,500 from the Town. She said that she had prepared an agreement for the
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7, 2007
Page 2
Council, in the event that it approved the request, which stipulated that the Chamber would not
request any more funding in future for holiday decorations.
Ms. Curran said that her report included a break-down of Town funding to the Chamber and how
it was utilized. She reviewed this information with the Council, noting the long-standing
partnership between the Chamber and the Town.
The Town Manager said that while it seemed clear that the Chamber could absorb the cost of the
purchase of the tree, she said that a contribution in the amount of$5,000 seemed appropriate.
She noted that the Council could fund the full $7,500, as well.
The Town's contribution, if any, would come from an unallocated general fund reserve,
according to the Town Manager.
Councilmember Berger said that he had met with Chamber representative Steve Sears earlier in
the day concerning the installation of the tree in the downtown fountain plaza. Berger asked how
the installation would affect the long-term health of the plaza.
Town Manager Curran said that the company wanted to sink six or eight bolts into the brick area
of the plaza that would be permanent; she said that this information had just come to light and
needed more study.
Vice Mayor Slavitz asked whether the bolts would be visible. Ms. Curran said that some sort of
cap might be placed over the top to cover the bolts.
Councilmember Fredericks asked where the tree would be located. Ms. Curran said that it would
be located in the same place in the plaza as last year, between the benches and the fountain.
Mayor Gram opened the matter for public comment.
Steve Sears said that the Chamber also planned a holiday celebration downtown on December 7.
With regard to the installation, Sears said that it would require eight large bolts to be sunk into
3/8-inch holes at each point of the stand in order to anchor the tree to the plaza. He said that
another way to do it would be to use sand bags and guy wires but that the installer preferred the
first method. Sears said that Mr. Handyman was willing to drill the holes in the plaza, install the
bolts and make covers for them at the Chamber's expense.
Mr. Sears asked the Town to partner with the Chamber and the City of Belvedere to cover the
expense of the tree. He said that the Chamber would purchase the poinsettias and other
decorations for downtown. He said that the LED lights on the tree would consume 20% of the
electricity used by the lights last year, thereby further reducing the expense to the Town.
Town Manager Curran concurred that the Town would provide the electricity and manpower, but
at a lower level than last year.

Mayor Gram closed the public comment portion.
Councilmember Fredericks asked what would happen if the plaza was damaged by the
installation. Councilmember Smith asked if the Town was indemnified in the agreement.
Mayor Gram suggested that language indemnifYing the Town against any damage to "town
property" be added to the agreement.
Mr. Sears said that the Chamber would replace individual bricks, if damaged.
Vice Mayor Slavitz wondered whether replacing bricks might be preferable to leaving bricks
with holes in them.
Councilmember Berger said that before the Council approved any anchoring device, there should
be further study with the Public Works Department and the Chamber. He said that bricks would
not support anything.
MOTION:
To approve the funding request in the amount of$5,000 contingent upon a signed
agreement to fund holiday decorations, and further study of the anchoring method.
Berger, seconded by Slavitz

2. "Late Mail" Policy - Consider Adoption of a Written Town Policy regarding "Late Mail"
(Director of Community Development Anderson)
Director of Community Development Anderson gave the report. He recommended a cut-off time
of 5 :00 p.m. on Monday prior to Town Council and Planning Commission meetings be
established to allow the council and commissioners time to review late mail. He said that the
Design Review Board would have a 72-hour cut-off time under the proposed policy.
Anderson said that for adjourned and special meetings, the Town Manager would establish the
deadline, and that for controversial projects, the deadline would be included in the public hearing
notice.
Council discussed the various types of late mail and how it was received. For instance, if
someone brings a letter or document to a meeting, is it part of the record.
Councilmember Fredericks asked about the meaning of "distribute" under the policy. Director
Anderson said the method of distribution would depend on the volume of the mail.
Mayor Gram and Councilmember Smith asked whether a piece of late mail that did not meet the
proposed deadlines would be considered part of the record.
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7,2007
Page 4
Town Attorney Danforth said that while not all public records were part of the administrative
record, the issue could be addressed in the policy, for instance, by adding the language to the
effect that if there was insufficient time to review it, it would not be considered part of the
administrative record.
Councilmember Smith said that most agencies were far more aggressive and did not allow late
mail after a certain date. Director Anderson concurred, but noted that packets distributed by the
County of Marin, for instance, were distributed much further in advance of the meeting than the
Town's materials.
The Council concurred, however, that the purpose of the public meetings would not be served
unless people were allowed to present their materials or make statements at the podium.
Town Attorney Danforth suggested a modification to the policy to state that late mail received
after the deadline "may not be a part of the administrative record." Council agreed.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
To adopt the late mail policy, as amended.
Berger, seconded by Slavitz
AYES: Unanimous
3. Reed Ranch Road Acceleration Lane - Award of Contract to Ghilotti Bros. and budget
amendment (Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Nguyen)
Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Nguyen said that the bids had been opened earlier in
the year and that Ghilotti Bros. was the low bidder on the project, at $110,635. The engineer's
estimate was $95,159, according to Nguyen.
Director Nguyen said the award of contract had been delayed by CAL/TRANS pending further
review of the design and issuance of the encroachment permit. He said that further conditions
had been placed on the project by CAL/TRANS; this plus other costs would require an additional
$57,000 to be appropriated to complete the project. He said that funds were available in the
town's State Gas Tax Fund.
Mayor Gram asked how the prior budget amount was arrived at.
Director Nguyen said staff had budgeted $90,000 in fiscal year 2007-2008 for the project but at
that time, the project engineering had not been completed nor bids received. Based on the low
bid, plus a 15% contingency to address CAL/TRANS encroachment permit conditions, any
approved unforeseen work, and remaining engineering and construction management fees,
resulted in the additional $57,000.
Mayor Gram asked when the engineer's estimate was completed. Director Nguyen said that the
estimate was completed in July, following adoption of the budget.

Town Manager Curran added that the bids were disappointing but that Town Staffhad learned
that public projects were still booming while there was a cool-off in the private sector.
Mayor Gram opened the matter for public comment.
Ray Truman spoke of the dangers of that intersection and the likelihood of a serious accident
taking place.
Christopher Wand added that there was no guardrail on the sidewalk west of Jefferson Drive as it
proceeded up the hill and suggested that CAL/TRANS should install one in the location.
Vice Mayor Slavitz said that he had lived in the Reedlands since 1990 and that this was a much
needed improvement.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
To award the contract and authorize the budget amendment, as presented.
Slavitz, seconded by Berger
AYES: Unanimous
4. 275 Diviso Street - Authorize Town Manager to enter into negotiations to obtain public
access over a portion of property located 275 Diviso Street owned by Mr. Avi Ron (Town
Manager Curran) - adjourn to closed session at end of meeting
Mayor Gram opened the item for public comment.
Bill Lukens, Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon resident, said that the public paths were an asset to the
community of footpaths and that this path was an important segment connecting old Tiburon to the
downtown area. He said that it was also important in the context of an emergency for ingress and
egress to the area. He supported obtaining a public easement over the property.
Councilmember Berger asked Mr. Lukens whether he thought that it was a plus or a minus to live
adjacent to a public path. Mr. Lukens said that 99% of the people who used the path were neighbors
and that it was a way to stay in touch with one's neighbors.
Mr. Lukens added that a developer could deed the path and retain the underlYing fee while still
maintaining his lot size for purposes of FAR.
Helen Lindquist, also a resident of Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon, and one of the original members of
the Lanes and Paths Committee, agreed with Mr. Lukens.
Mayor Gram closed the public hearing.
MOTION:
To authorize the Town manager to enter into negotiations regarding the
aforementioned property in closed session.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Appeal of Design Review Board Decision - Consider appeal of Design Review Board's
decision to deny a request for Site Plan and Architectural Review to construct additions
to an existing single-family dwelling, with variances for front yard setback and excess lot
coverage (Associate Planner Tyler)
Property Address:
Assessor Parcel No:
Applicant/Appellant:
9 Burrell Court
034-302-05
Firuze Hariri
Associate Planner Tyler gave the report and reviewed the grounds of appeal and staff s
responses.
Councilmember Smith commented that the Design Review Board August 16 minutes said that
the variance findings could be made for this application; he asked whether the only issues were
those related to the Hillside Guidelines.
Mayor Gram opened the appellant's portion of the hearing.
Michael Heckmann, project architect, said that while the design of the house contained strong
architectural concepts, it was respectful of the neighbors. He said that the project's second story
design was the crux of the opposition. He reviewed the changes made by the applicant to address
the concerns of the neighbors. He said that the upper level of the home was modest and that it
complied with the Hillside Design Guidelines in many ways. He noted that the building was
terraced, using the design of the slope, according to Goal 1, Principle 2. He said that it followed
the contours of the hill, according to Principle 4; and avoided roof overhangs on the downhill
side, according to Principle 6. He said that the vertical elevation gave variety, according to
Principle 10, and that the color, texture, and form related to the surrounding neighborhood.
Councilmember Berger asked Heckmann about the height of the proposed addition. Mr.
Heckman said that it was well below the 30-foot height limit.
Mr. Heckmann said that the placement of windows in the second story was done for the privacy
of his client, as well as the neighbors; he said that his client had reduced the number of windows
in the plans, removed an upper terrace, and had added landscape screening to address these
concerns.
Mr. Heckmann distributed photos of other homes in the neighborhood and stated that there was a
precedent for second stories; he noted in particular the neighboring Beaumont residence which he
said was slightly taller and wider than Ms. Hariri's proposal. However, he said that they would
consider that changes listed in Mr. Beaumont's letter (dated November 6, 2007 as "Late Mail") if
it would satisfy them.

In conclusion, Mr. Heckmann said that the proposal was a cohesive design and appropriate to the
neighborhood. He asked the Council to grant the appeal.
Councilmember Fredericks asked Mr. Heckmann ifhe had a photo that showed the proposed
addition from the perspective of the Truman residence.
Fredericks also asked for the ceiling height in the second story addition. Mr. Heckmann said the .
floor-to-plate height was 8 feet, and an additional 2.5 feet in the vault.
Vice Mayor Slavitz said that Hillside Guidelines Goal 1, Principle 9 argued against a vaulted
ceiling.
Mr. Heckmann said that using the profile indicated in the drawing was actually an improvement
in the proposed addition and that moving the residence downhill would result in greater loss of
light and air to the Truman residence. He said the design was not a "big box."
Vice Mayor Slavitz asked if the Beaumonts were requesting that the windows of the second story
be made opaque. Mr. Heckman said that the Beaumonts were only concerned with one window
(which he said would be made opaque) and that the other windows were not in their view
corridor. Mr. Heckmann also offered to increase the tree size from 18-inch to 24-inch boxes to
. .
Improve screenIng.
Councilmember Berger asked Mr. Heckmann to summarize the changes made by the applicant
after the initial review by the Design Review Board. Mr. Heckmann said that the upper story had
been moved four feet farther back, which resulted in a changed profile relative to grade and to
Reed Ranch Road; a modification to the entry canopy so that there would be no ability for people
to congregate there; a reduced window size; a reduction in building height by two feet (as well as
a reduced plate-line initially). He said that the visual impression from Reed Ranch Road would
be good.
Mr. Slavitz asked whether the house would be sided with wood or stucco. Mr. Heckmann said
that it would be a stucco building with a tile roof.
Heckmann said that expanding the house horizontally instead of vertically was not an option for
the driveway turnaround, and he added that the Design Review Board had not recommended it.
Councilmember Fredericks said that the Design Review Board had stated that they could grant
more variances. Mr. Heckmann said that the Board had offered a greater lot coverage variance
and not a variance for setbacks. He felt that would create more issues for the Beaumonts.
Riley Hurd, an attorney representing the appellant, also spoke. He said that the denial of the
appeal was not supported by substantial evidence in the record; he said that the Board had failed
to give useable direction to the appellant and that there were different members at each hearing
which resulted in different opinion. At the second to last hearing, Hurd said that the Board had
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7, 2007
Page 8
agreed that excavating the homes into the hillside was not a good idea, while at the final meeting,
the opposite was true. He said that while the Board relied heavily on neighbor comments, some
of the opposition was based on incorrect information rather than fact. He said that Mr.
Heckmann had addressed the opposing comments but that he and the applicant had been "pushed
aside. "
Mr. Hurd said that the proposed plan did fit well into the neighborhood and that in many ways; it
was an improvement over some of the big, walled designs. He asked the Council to grant the
appeal for both design and legal reasons.
Mayor Gram opened the hearing to the public.
Spencer Bloch spoke. He said that this was a political issue rather than one of property rights.
He said that he and his wife could see the story poles clearly from their living areas. He said that
the applicant had received guidance from all five Design Review Boardmembers to move the
house downhill, but that she was not interested in doing so. He said that she had previously
asked the Blochs to cut some trees to enhance her view, but that her offer of screening was "just
throwing us a bone." He said that the design threatened the long-established neighborhood and
he said that it would be a bad precedent to reverse the decision of the Design Review Board and
the will of the neighbors.
Vice Mayor Slavitz asked Mr. Bloch about the suggestion of moving the second story underneath
the house and whether that would present a problem for the Blochs.
Mr. Bloch said that it would be less of a problem visually and for privacy; he said that most of
the neighbors had utilized that design feature.
Ray Truman, Reed Ranch Road resident of 38 years, said that the story poles and netting were
visible from Tiburon Boulevard and, if the house was built as designed, he would be looking at
"a cathedral." He said that he was concerned about the loss of privacy and that he could see the
house now from his kitchen and bathroom. Mr. Truman said that he had visited the applicant's
home and that the elevation of the story poles was not accurate.
Vice Mayor Slavitz asked Mr. Truman about his opinion of moving the second story downhill.
Mr. Truman said that the house would not be that much closer to him if they went downhill
(instead of up) and that it would not increase the street noise for Mrs. Hariri.
Chris Wand, Burrell Court, one house away, said that the proposed second story violated
numerous hillside guidelines. He said that the current house enjoyed the best views on the street
in its location at the end of the cui de sac, and that the proposed second story was a "carbuncle."
He said that each lot on Reed Ranch Road had been carefully sculpted for views, light, air and
morning sun. He said that the architect had made a big deal about minor changes to the design
and he asked the Council to deny the appeal and ask Mrs. Hariri to build a home that would be an
enhancement of the street.
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7,2007
Page 9
Mr. Heckmann presented the rebuttal for the applicant, stating that many homes in the
neighborhood had been changed over 50 years. He said that the opposition in the neighborhood
was not unanimous and that he had talked to everyone. He said that just because someone could
see the house did not constitute valid opposition. He said that the opposition was a result of
resistance to change in the neighborhood.
Mr. Heckmann said that the lot was kind of "naked" now and that the applicant would do a lot of
landscaping; he said that the design was the right solution for the house.
Vice Mayor Slavitz asked Design Review Boardmember John Corcoran for his comments.
Mr. Corcoran said that the Board had thoroughly reviewed the application from the beginning
and that the second story really was the "elephant in the room." He said that he had visited other
homes in the neighborhood that had been renovated in the past five years; he said that many had
wanted to go up by four to six feet but had gone down instead.
Mr. Corcoran said that Mr. Truman's home would not have been built today so that there was a
consistency issue. He disagreed with Mr. Hurd that the Board had provided no guidance; he said
that it was always the policy of the Board to give direction to the applicants, but not design the
project. He agreed that there were issues of consistency because of the Beaumont's second story;
he noted that the Beaumont home was a split level house, so that it was really one and a half
stories. He also said that the proposed additions to the Hariri residence, which is located at the
end of a cui de sac, would block views of a more prominent sort.
Mayor Gram closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Berger said that he was the architect on the remodel of 6 Burrell Court, which
went "out not up" because going up would have blocked all of the key views of the neighbors.
However, he said that this was a key point; that some of the older homes were every bit as tall, so
that it had nothing to do with character of the neighborhood.
Berger said that the DRB had responded correctly in its initial meetings and had given direction
to modify the second floor. He said that the architect had done so by pulling it back four feet,
lowering the roof height by two feet, and taking off the terraces. He said that these were not
trivial changes and that they did break up the bulk and mass.
Berger said that while the house could be moved downhill, it was not a "must;" he said that it
was visible but that it did not block anyone's views. He said that the Blochs had big, distant
views and that excavation would not provide quality space to the applicant nor provide a gain to
the neighbors. He said that many of the older, two-story houses, were good examples of the
undesirable effects.
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7,2007
Page 10
Councilmember Berger said that each project should be weighed on its merits and that it would
not be a precedent to grant the appeal. He said that there were often good reasons to change a
design to one-story but this was not one of them.
Councilmember Fredericks said that she had a different point of view. She said that this was not
about neighbors' objections or view blockage; rather, she said it was a concern about general
visual impact and neighborhood character. She described a neighborhood with flatter houses on
the flat land and higher houses on the higher ground. She said that the visual impact of looking
uphill at the existing house, which was located on a hill, was that it already looked like a two-
story house, and that if you walked around Burrell Court, it looked big. She added that many of
the current building and remodels were done before adoption of the Hillside Guidelines, and that
this remodel was in-fill. She said that moving it closer to the road would be preferable and could
possibly be achieved with fewer bedrooms. She said that she would support the DRB decision.
Councilmember Smith said that while he generally supported the decisions of the Design Review
Board because they took the time and effort to make the findings in its review of these matters,
he felt that in this case he was inclined to vote in favor of the appellant. Smith said that he had
driven through the neighborhood to determine what its "character" really was. He said that it
contained a variety of home designs, which he described as "eclectic." He said that he felt that
the applicant/appellant had made changes to the design in order to accommodate the neighbors
and that the other changes that had been suggested might in fact be not as advantageous to the
neighbors.
Smith said that there was a legal basis for the variance findings, so that the basis of the appeal
boiled down to the Hillside Guidelines; he said that architect Heckmann had responded well to
these hillside issues and that moving the house downhill was not necessarily preferable or the
best design for the neighbors. He said that it could result in a "lose-lose" situation for both the
applicant and the neighbors.
Smith said that he thought the current design was not "looming" nor was it a "box." He said that
it was below the height limit and did not present a significant view obstruction issue; therefore,
he said that it was consistent with the Hillside Design Guidelines.
Vice Mayor Slavitz agreed that moving the house addition downhill would make it a lot closer to
the Truman home and that he did not think they would like the result. However, Slavitz agreed
with the Trumans that the house looked very big and "very grand," especially located on a naked
hill. He said that he understood the applicant's need for space but that if there was a way to
minimize the house's presence to the street, it should be sought. He asked whether there was a
flat roof alternative.
Slavitz said that the Design Review Board was right and that while the current design was
"close," it could be made better.
Town Council Minutes # 22-2007
November 7, 2007
Page 11
Councilmember Berger said that the roof already had a low pitch. He said that he thought it was
the horizontal sides that created the "presence" described by Vice Mayor Slavitz.
Mayor Gram said that design was not his forte; he asked the Council whether it wished to define
a design or remand it to the Board.
Vice Mayor Slavitz suggested remanding it with Council direction; Councilmember Smith said
that the Board had already conducted three meetings to review the application.
Councilmember Fredericks commented that the roofline should be more articulated in
conformance with the Hillside Design Guidelines because from the street (Reed Ranch Road) it
appeared that the house was sitting on top of a hill.
Councilmember Smith disagreed; he said that the house was located on the "sweet spot" of the
hill and that moving it downhill would create unintended impacts and a worse solution.
Vice Mayor Slavitz also said that the stucco material made the house seem bigger.
Councilmember Berger said that the color should be earth tone; Councilmember Smith wondered
if a darker color might be better. Architect Heckmann said that he would be happy to darken the
color.
Vice Mayor Slavitz agreed with the direction of a darker color and a reduction in the roofline;
Councilmember Berger suggested the possibility of a partial dormer on the roofline;
Councilmember Fredericks suggested consideration of a reduction in square footage of the house.
Mayor Gram said that he did not find the second story visually offensive and that there was
already a precedent for second stories in the neighborhood. He usually operates under the
presumption that the DRB had made the correct decision. However, in this case he said that if
the application was remanded to the DRB it should be with strong direction. He said that while
the house was "imposing" from Reed Ranch Road, it was not a cathedral. He agreed that the
impact could be lessened by color choice; he said that the second story could be retained in some
semblance but he recommended that the house not be moved downhill.
The Council asked for the Town Attorney to comment on the idea of remanding the application.
She said that if the Council denied the appeal outright, there could be no new application for one
year; however, she said that if the Council denied the appeal without prejudice, the applicant
could resubmit plans and that the Council had the ability to waive the fees, if it chose to do so.
MOTION:
To partially grant the appeal with the proviso that the application be returned to the
DRB for additional review of the second story; to consider a reduction in square
footage and other architectural treatments to address the apparent mass and bulk of
the roof and the walls; to study exterior materials to appear less vivid; to make the
