My most relevant experience is a remodel involving the planning/building
departments and DRB. Throughout my career, I've built many diverse teams to
achieve common goals. I'm confident these skills could help neighbors come
together during changes. I've lived in Tiburon for 11 years with the past five
on Corinthian Island. Last year, I participated in the Wine Festival, Art
Festival, Car Show, Friday Nights on Main, and Chamber gatherings. I'm a
Corinthian YC and Landmarks Society member and volunteered my home for
Corinthian Island anniversary home tour. I truly value the Tiburon village and
go out of my way to support local merchants, restaurants, dentists & barbers.

TIBURON HERITAGE & ARTS COMMISSION APPLICATION
I am a member of the California Watercolor Society and in the late 1980' s I was a Board
Member and Director of Workshops for a few years. The workshops were broadly attended and
very profitable for the organization during my tenure. I've worked as a full time Artist since
1984 and have taught private lessons to children in the past 10 years. My paintings are on paper,
wood & linen canvas and the Inediums are pen & ink, watercolor, acrylic, oil & photography. My
painting style is Representational with Impressionism. Since 1967 Just for You was my fITst line
of greeting cards, trademarked in the early 1980' s and in 2003 acquired by a major card
company. I immediately created new card lines: Until We Meet Again and Baby, Baby, Baby.
My interests in the Arts gradually blended with my life long interest in design work. In 1991
I broadened the scope of my business to include design sketches for residential projects. On
March 1 st, 2007 I opened a Showroom in the San Francisco Design Center to display samples of
my artistic and quality designs of furniture and other products. In addition, I create traditional to
modem exclusive designs for Clients cabinetry, fireplace surrounds, etc. for residential and
commercial projects. In March, 2007 I received a Design Patent for the Translucent Glass Cover
Sleeve, a handmande art glass candle that is an enhancelnent for candelabras and has several
versitle residential and commercial candle light applications.
Art has been an integral part of my life. Several years ago I was disappointed when the Arts
were excluded from our public education curriculum. I believe many social problems children
are currently experiencing are partially a direct result from not having the opportunity to learn
basic artistic methods to voice their emotions. Classes in Art, Sculpture, Music, Dance, Voice,
Shop, Theatre, Film, etc. allow children to develop skills to express their feelings in productive
and positive ways throughout their lives. In addition, they acquire a good sense of self by
learning empathy, fair play and positive competition. These classes aid in the development of
their imagination. This fuels their creative problem solving skills as they learn how to embrace
change and view disappointments as routine challenges and fun problem solving pursuits.
My personal goal is to have a very successful business that allows me to freely support the
Arts by helping to ensure artistic classes are reinstated in public schools as an important routine
requirement.
Since my husband Robert and I moved to Tiburon in 1990, we have observed many town
improvements. I am proud ofTiburon's employees, our creative residents and the constant
pursuit of what is fair and reasonable when updating and maintaining the town to ensure our
future will meld with our history as well as our incredibly perfect natural surroundings.
Art should be what we surround ourselves with on a daily basis, at work, at home and at play.
Art feeds our soul and a soulful life is an amazing one to live! I want Tiburon to continue to be
known as a Historic and Beautiful Town where Artists are an intrinsic part of the community.
If I am selected as a Commissioner, I will work to contribute insight into how we may continue
to support our Artists and encourage them to partake in programs the Commission creates. I will
also assist in the continued development ofTiburon's Heritage & Arts Commission as the model
other cities admire and hope to follow.

Re: Application to Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee
Dear Ms. Iacopi:
This letter encloses my application and resume for the opening with the Tiburon
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee. I am very excited about this opportunity, as this will be
my first foray into Tiburon-based civic work.
I have 14 years of residency in Tiburon and have two children in public school. My kids were
practically raised at Blackie's Pasture and the bike path. I live near the dangerous Cove
Shopping Center intersection, and can attest to near daily accidents and near-misses posing risks
to pedestrians and bicyclists at the Tiburon Boulevard intersection. As a homeowner in Bel Aire,
I am also aware of the need to promote safe routes to schools to protect children, encourage
alternatives to driving, and promote good health among residents.
I am an active recreational bicyclist and regular bike commuter to my work in San Francisco. I
have first hand knowledge of the challenges facing bicyclists and pedestrians in this community.
I believe that I can provide a voice of solid experience, legal perspectives, and enthusiasm for
this particular Committee.
Instructions and Application to Serve on a Town Board,

1. 1601 TIBURON BOULEVARD ZELINSKYIBANK OF AMERICA, SIGN PERMIT
On December 6, 2007 the Design Review Board reviewed a proposal for construction of a new
internally-illuminated monument sign for Bank of America, located at 1601 Tiburon Boulevard
in downtown Tiburon. The Board was in favor of updating the existing on-building signage with
illumination if a halo illumination effect was utilized instead of internal illumination, or if the
monument sign was modified to mimic other monument signs in downtown Tiburon (i.e. a wood
sign with indirect illumination). The Board continued the application with direction given to the
applicant to either return with a modified proposal for construction of a monument sign, or new
on-building signage with halo illumination. The applicant said he is now requesting approval for
two (2) on-building signs, which would replace the existing on-building signage on both the
north and south side of the structure. Each sign would be illuminated with halo illumination.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #1

Matt Sieck, Sign Productions, explained that there are two types of internal illumination; halo
and neon. He said that they propose to use halo lighting, which involves a low LED light
illuminated from the front which would be less bright than neon lighting.
Boardmember Glassner confrrmed the applicant was seeking approval of the door signage which
was included in the application. He questioned the uniqueness of the door signage and the
applicant discussed the content and reasoning for it. Planning Manager Watrous noted that sign
regulations are content neutral, and that the Board does not have the ability to regulate the actual
language content of the sign. He said that typical hours of operation and "no solicitation"
language are generally considered exempt from the permit requirements.
Chair Doyle opened the hearing. There was no public comment and he closed the hearing.
Boardmember Teiser thanked the applicant for addressing the Board's concerns from the last
meeting. Boardmembers Corcoran and Vice-Chair Frymier echoed his comments, and
Boardmember Glassner said he liked the spirit of the signage.
ACTION: It was M/S (Frymier/Glassner) that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act and approving the project subject to the attached conditions of
approval. Vote: 5-0.

Boardmember Corcoran recused himself from this item.
This application to construct a new single-family dwelling at 3 Southridge Drive was reviewed at
the November 1 and December 20,2007 Design Review Board meetings. At the November 1
meeting, objections were raised by several neighboring property owners regarding the height,
roofmg materials, parking, drainage and potential view impacts that could be caused by the
proposed house. The Design Review Board recognized the difficulty of building on the last
vacant lot in the subdivision and thought that the house should be lowered and possibly stepped
down on the property. The application was continued to the December 20 meeting. Plans were
revised to lower the house, grade down on the site, move a trellis and plant additional
landscaping. At the December 20 meeting, Boardmembers Teiser and Glassner disagreed on the
merits of the project, but agreed to continue the hearing to the January 17 meeting to allow
participation by more Boardmembers.
Dan Weiss, applicant, said they have listened to neighbor concerns and he felt that significant
progress had been made. He reiterated that the project requests no variances, is within the height
limit, building envelope, setbacks, and lot coverage ratios and floor area ratio. He said that this
would be the one of the smallest homes on the cul-de-sac and its design was consistent with the
neighboring two-story homes. He said that after lowering the ridge height 4.5 feet they have
now lowered it by another 1.5 feet by reducing the second story from a 9 foot ceiling to an 8 foot
ceiling. He said that the trellis in the view corridor for the home at 1 Southridge Drive was
removed and other trees and shrubs had been added as requested by other neighbors. He stated
that they would grade the lot down and use the fill on-site to increase the backyard. He said that
the roof color would be changed from black/grey to a weathered wood appearance. He said that
they raised the sill height in the upper story children's bedrooms to accommodate Ms. Linn's
request. He described discussions with Ms. Linn and Ms. Fenner regarding hedge materials,
stating that they had narrowed the selection down to four species. He stated that they now
wanted to move the house 8 feet further back from the cul-de-sac, keeping it up against the
setback line and still retaining Mr. Van Hooser's view corridor. He acknowledged that this
change does not have 100% support of the Fenner's and the Linn's and that the trees to be
planted could grow over time into Mr. Van Hooser's view corridor.

The public hearing was opened.
Arthur Gimmy, Highlands Architectural Control Committee member, said he had previously
suggested that the house to be moved back off the cul-de-sac and he was satisfied with the
applicants' willingness to make all of these changes and make most neighbors happy, but noted
that it is impossible to make everyone happy.
Barbara Linn said that the house is still very large, and she asked that the house be one-story or
further stepped down. She envisioned the impact on her house to be minimal if the house was
moved 8 feet back, but believed that a one-story home would be the best for everyone. She
thanked the Peitz's and Mr. Weiss for their participation and compromises with the landscaping.
Sean Vineyard said that their last remaining issue was the 4 foot high master bedroom window
which would look directly into their family room and kitchen. He believed that the further the
house moves to the west and the more it rotates, the less the master bedroom window would be
an issue for him and raising the sill height to 5 feet could alleviate the problem. In response to a
question from Chair Doyle, he said that landscaping would grow to enhance their privacy, but
would most likely intrude into the Van Hooser's view corridor.
Diane Nhuch stated that the project is too close to the street and would look like a large mass
looming over the cul-de-sac. She felt that the two-car garage does not provide enough off-street
parking and described parking issues the cul-de-sac. She acknowledged that her preference
would be to move the house back 8 feet to provide additional parking in the driveway.
Chris Ventris said they previously had requested that the home be lowered 6 feet which had been
done, but he did not believe the house would be aesthetically pleasing in its positioning. He said
that he would support the project if the house were moved back on the envelope, which he felt
would be a good compromise.
Cindy Fenner acknowledged that the applicant updated the landscape plan with hedging and
three trees as she had requested. She said that the Architectural Control Committee for the
homeowners' association had not yet formally voted on the revised house design. She believed
that as the structure is moved down on the property, it would impact her more and she requested
story poles be erected to determine the impact. She said the applicant and owners have done a
good job in making compromises to the landscaping, roofing and windows. She agreed that this
is a difficult lot and anything built would be a positive for one neighbor and a negative for
another. She said that she could support the project if it was in its original location, rotated to the
building envelope and with adjustments made to the windows on the south side.
John Van Hooser thanked the Peitz's for their compromises and said that his family is supportive
of the project with the proposed changes and moving the house back. He said that the Peitz's
have done a lot of work to protect his view corridor and he asked that the trees be limited in
height to avoid impacting his views. He said that he was sensitive to Ms. Fenner's issues for
privacy and is hopeful that the new hedge material would solve that issue for her.

Mr. Weiss stated that the three outstanding issues were the windows, trees, and the placement of
the house. He said that the master bedroom was very important to the applicants and the
windows have been carefully designed for balance and light. He felt that the window would not
impact neighbors' homes and that the applicants are entitled to windows that would make for a
beautiful room. He said that they agreed to do whatever the Board directs regarding trees, noting
that the proposed trees do not typically grow over 15 feet and the Peitz's were also willing to
trim them, as needed. He said that the applicant said also would agree to do whatever the Board
directs regarding the placement of the house. He said he has spent countless hours in trying to
understand exactly what all of the issues are and agreed that not everyone will be 100% happy.
He believed moving the house 8 feet would serve to provide more parking and also a flatter
driveway grade and had the support of more neighbors. In response to a question from
Boardmember Teiser, Mr. Weiss stated that the hedge material was chosen because it is hardy
and vigorous and there is the ability for controlling its height. He believed that once the hedge
reached 8-10 feet, it would block any views from Fenner's home. He thought that the benefits
from moving the house and twisting it far outweighed keeping it right up against the cul-de-sac.
The public hearing was closed.
Vice-Chair Frymier agreed the lot was very difficult. She stated that she had visited the site 6
times and asked whether or not story poles were needed if the house were shifted back the 8 feet.
Planning Manager Watrous said the requirement for story poles was at the Board's discretion and
the poles are intended to ensure the Board and neighbors have enough information to make an
informed decision.
Vice-Chair Frymier said she would support the project as modified. She believed that the
changes and outreach conducted by the Peitz's and the applicant were outstanding. She felt that
it was impossible to redesign the home to a one-story design. She believed that the Fenner and
Vineyard home was low enough so as not to be impacted by the proposed window placements.
Boardmember Glassner said the project has gone through many meetings and the applicants have
made every change the Board requested and more. He did not support continuance to install
new story poles. He commended the applicants for the work to date and agreed that there was not
way to make all of the neighbors happy. He said that he was ready to support the project.
Boardmember Teiser said he appreciates what the applicants have done and thought that they
have come up with a good solution. He said that the applicants had done what he had intended,
adding that he had not demanded a one-story design. He said that lowering the grade and ridge
height and rotating the house addressed the problems. He did not believe story poles were
necessary. He noted that the Fenners house was lower and the hedge will address their privacy
issues. He said that he would not insist on raising the master bedroom window sill height,
adding that people would not be standing in the window. He said that he could support the
project as revised and moved back 8 feet, which would provide for more parking as well as a
larger driveway.
Chair Doyle agreed that the lot was difficult, but thought that the home would not be out of scale
with other homes in the cul-de-sac. He agreed that the applicants have made significant

compromises and have gone out of their way to make changes to appease the neighbors. He
acknowledged that the changes have not necessarily been to the benefit of the applicants and
they have done the best that they can. He agreed that new story poles were not needed suggested
that the trees and hedging be left to the discretion of staff.
ACTION: It was MIS (Glassnerffeiser) that the project is exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the project, subject to conditions
of approval as revised with the house moved back 8 feet and rotated to the northern
building envelope line, that a podocarpus gracilior hedge be planted along the property line
facing 1 & 3 Cayford Drive, and that the species of the trees shown on plans to provide
screening for the home at 1 Cayford Drive be reviewed and approved by Planning Division
staff. Vote: 4-0-1 (Corcoran recused).

The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of a pool cabana and
the relocation of the pool and spa at an existing single-family dwelling located at 13 Roseville
Court. The addition would include a vine trellis and fITe pit between the new location of the spa
and the proposed cabana. This application was first reviewed at the December 6, 2007 Design
Review Board meeting. At that meeting, the adjacent neighboring property owners at 33 Mark
Terrace raised concerns regarding potential privacy impacts that would be caused by the
proposed pool cabana and the relocation of the pool. The Board reviewed the proposal, but
continued the project to give the applicant time to revise the proposal and to allow for additional
dialogue between the neighbors. The Board also suggested the idea of a sound wall along the
property line to decrease the potential privacy impacts on the neighboring property from the
subject property. The applicant has now submitted revised plans showing the cabana, the spa
and pool reduced in size and shifted to the west, the location of proposed exterior lighting and
the addition of a stone sound wall. The existing fence along the eastern property line would be
relocated and replaced with the stone sound wall, 8 feet in height. An existing wall would be
reconfigured on the side of the pool in order to accommodate an infmity edge to the pool.
Landscaping would be added between the previously approved lower walls and along the eastern
property line. The proposed sound wall exceeds the maximum allowed height for walls within
the required setbacks, but a variance for excess wall height has not yet been noticed. A variancedis still requested for a reduced rear yard setback.

Jim Bradanini, architect, acknowledged the Board could not vote on the proposal tonight and
said surrounding neighbors were present as well as the soils engineer and structural engineer.
Stephen Van Dusen, owner, said that he had hoped that the feedback from the neighborhood and
the Board would have led to a supportive outcome. He stated that the home required updating
and renovation of the retaining wall, pool and drainage. He said that they have received complete
project support from two neighbors, have met with others to make changes to address privacy
issues and hoped everyone could work collaboratively to achieve approval.
Mr. Bradanini distributed a packet of supplemental site photographs, stating he had met with
neighbors and describing changes made to the project design in response. He described the 8 foot
tall sound wall that would be offset from the property line as it moves up the hill and noted that
they had consulted with Charles Salter and Associates, a well-known acoustical engineering
fIrm, to address noise impacts. He said that they decreased the size of the cabana, pool and spa
and shifted the cabana and pool away from the neighbor. He described the lighting plan which
includes low voltage, wall-mounted downlight fIXtures. He explained the vantage points from
the Thorntons' home to the proposed improvements, stating that the existing trees and proposed
hedge would block any views of the cabana and pool or soften its appearance.
Vice-Chair Frymier that confIrmed the size of the cabana was reduced from 720 to 640 square
feet and would be tucked into the hillside out of view from the neighbor's house and deck.
Boardmember Corcoran asked whether the applicant was amenable to moving the pool down to
the lower level. Mr. Van Dusen said that their master bedroom is located close to the proposed
pool location and they have a 7 month old daughter and want to enjoy the close proximity of its
proposed location. They believed that locating the pool three levels below would not be safe. He
stated that the pool would not be in the neighbor's line of sight.
Vice-Chair Frymier questioned if the pool could be moved two more feet to the west. Mr.
Bradanini responded that the pool would be then too close to the existing deck which would
make it unusable, adding that the distance between the neighbor's house and the pool was 47
feet.
The public hearing was opened.
Barry Thornton thanked the Van Dusen's for meeting with him and his wife and said that he
believed that they were defmitely moving on a path toward agreement but were not quite there.
He asked to move the pool to the lower level, stating that pools for many other homes in the Del
Mar neighborhood were located on lower levels. He cited privacy issues and said that the
submitted photographs were not an accurate depiction of where the sound wall would be seen
from their upper deck.
Boardmember Glassner asked what would need to occur to fmd middle ground. Mr. Thornton
said they could accept the project if they received reassurance that the sound wall would do what
it says it will do and if the size of the cabana was reduced. He was concerned that fumes from
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #1

the barbecue's vent would flow right into their den. In response to a question from Boardmember
Corcoran, Mr. Thornton said that they are concerned with the cabana's size, closeness and the
potential noise created by its use.
Barry Fong thanked the applicant for working with the neighbors and for their courtesy and
openness to making changes. He said their concerns were with the lighting pl~ soil stability,
drainage and noise with construction. Boardmember Teiser indicated that the Board could only
address issues relating to light and not the others cited by Mr. Fong.
Victoria Fong said that she wanted more information about the project and voiced concern about
construction vehicles coming and going by their home's entrance. She presented pictures taken
from their deck of the Van Dusen's home and was unsure whether the pool or lighting would
affect them.
Mr. Bradanini stated that they are willing to further discuss lighting issues with the Fongs and
thought the cabana would be invisible to the Thorntons, as they have placed it at a point where it
would be the least visible. He said they are amenable to moving the vent further away but they
did not want to reconfigure the entire plan.
Boardmember Glassner noted there was an existing barbecue and asked how flexible the
applicant would be in relocating the pool. Mr. Bradanini said that they have shifted and squeezed
everything as close as reasonably possible to the house, and ifmoved further, would bring the
pool and cabana more into view. He thought that moving the pool and cabana 2-4 feet would not
make any difference and reiterated that the owners would provide a visual and acoustical buffer.
Planning Manager Watrous confIrmed that the cabana was also 47 feet away from the neighbor's
house, as was the pool. Mr. VanDusen said that they have come to the Board with what they feel
is a fmal proposal and the best they can do. He stated that there was little difference between the
existing and proposed designs and he hoped everyone could be supportive after more
information is obtained.
Boardmember Teiser discussed the danger of watching children in a nearby pool from inside the
home and asked if a safety fence was required or proposed. Boardmember Corcoran thought a
pool located down the hill would be more dangerous. Planning Manager Watrous said the
Town's Building Official is extremely strict about pool safety and would likely require an
intermediate pool barrier to make the pool completely safe.
The public hearing was closed.
Chair Doyle said that it is common sense that everything should be where it is already located.
He noted that the Van Dusen's could cook on a grill located anywhere on the site. He thought
having a roof over the cabana would increase privacy. He said that the applicant is not asking
for anything that is not already there or what the neighbors around them do not already have. He
felt that moving the pool downhill did not make sense and that the sound wall was a good idea.
He thought that the project was simple and direct and that the issues were getting blown out of
proportion. He said that the applicants are not asking for anything out of the ordinary and that

landscaping would help soften the appearance of the sound wall. He said that moving everything
two feet over would not change views or sound and he thought the pool and backyard amenities
would be nicer than what is already there. He added that he also had mentioned at the last
meeting that it would be nice if the applicant took the pergola and wrapped it around, and then
bring it over to plant something on it.
Boardmember Teiser said the design with the sound wall and landscaping was a good solution.
He believed that the cabana was not too large and moving the pool away from the neighbors
addressed many issues.
Boardmember Corcoran said that he did not see any difference in having a roof over the cabana
or not and felt that a cabana would provide more privacy.
Boardmember Glassner said that this is a first class project and that the owners and applicant
have worked with the neighbors. He said that he would support it tonight but agreed the variance
for the overheight wall is needed. He asked that the applicant clarify issues with the neighbors
and supported a continuance to the next meeting.
Boardmember Corcoran said that the cabana would be more than 50 feet from the barbecue to
the neighbors' home, but added that if it was his house, he would flip the barbecue to the other
end of the cabana.
Vice-Chair Frymier acknowledged the improved presentation of the project, adding that the
project had seemed more opulent before. After visiting the site she believed the request to be a
significant improvement over what was there. She agreed that the Town is strict about pool
safety requirements and felt that locating the pool downhill would be a disservice and extremely
expensive to landscape. She stated that the project is just a renovation that needs to be done.

A request has been made to construct additions to an existing one-story single-family dwelling
on property located at 65 Rolling Hills Road. As more than 50 percent of the existing house
would be demolished as part of the project, the application is being processed as a new single-
family dwelling. Variances have been requested for reduced front and side yard setbacks. This
application was fIrst reviewed at the December 20, 2007 Design Review Board meeting. At that
meeting, the neighboring property owners at 75 Rolling Hills Road and 9 Owlswood raised
objections to the two-story portion of the project design. Both property owners objected to the
visual mass of the upper level addition, primarily when viewed from their rear yard areas. The
Design Review Board shared the neighbors' concern regarding the visual mass of the proposed
addition. The Board requested a formal submission of the revised plans and erection of new story
poles for the project and continued the application to the January 17, 2008 meeting. The
applicant has now submitted revised plans for the house. The footprint of the fIrst floor of the
house would remain unchanged. Much of the upper floor level would be pulled back 4 feet from
the edge of the lower floor, with a roof overhang that would extend 6 inches beyond the lower
level. The decks at the western end (facing 75 Rolling Hills Road) have been shortened to 5 feet.
Windows along the southern elevation would be generally unchanged from the previous house
design.
Nick Noyes, architect, provided an overview of the project and said that they met with both sets
of concerned neighbors twice to try to accommodate their requests. He emphasized that they are
renovating an existing building and are trying to stay within the existing footprint. He said that
the house would not be close to its FAR or lot coverage and no views or lights would be blocked.
He said that they spent a lot of time studying the site and reviewing the Hillside Guidelines,
citing Goal 1, Principle 10 and Goal 1, Principle 5 in their efforts to break down the mass of the
house. He said that the main view of the house from the community is from downhill. He said
that in response to meeting with the neighbors they pulled a portion of the building back 4 feet
and lowered the roof one foot. He stated that the overhang facing the Barry's does not extend
past the edge of the building, but they moved the overhang and column back 5 feet. He said that
the living room windows would be broken up by solar shades to mitigate the expanse of one
material. After meeting with the Fishers, he said that they moved back the building and cut back
the overhang. He noted that there is an existing hedge above the Barry's home which blocks
their line of sight of the lower portion of the house. He felt that the overhang would not be
massive but would help to create shadow and break down the scale of the building. He cited Goal
1, Principle 6 of the Hillside Guidelines which states how overhangs break up mass, and Goal 2,
Principle 6 which discusses overhangs for windows, adding that the overhangs create a passive
solar system for the windows. He said that they were working with a spirit of compromise and
had tried to meet all of the requests made by the neighbors, but they are trying to maintain a
certain integrity to the design.
James Tarantino, owner, said that he has been interested in design for the majority of his life and
that they have taken a considerable amount of time to design the elements of the home. He felt
that they have created something visually interesting that would compliment the neighborhood.
He said that they accommodated the neighbors the best they could and modified the plans
without sacrificing the philosophy of what they want to accomplish. He thanked the Board and
said that he remained optimistic to being able to address neighbors' concerns.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #1

The public hearing was opened.
Kevin Fisher thanked the architect and owner for spending the time with them and their efforts.
He said that their concern is the impact the comer of the second story addition would have on
their property. He appreciated the fact that the applicant has agreed to push it back, but he asked
that the overhang and visual mass of the addition be addressed. They appreciated the owner's
desire to maintain the integrity of the design, and hoped there was a way they can work
something out. He noted that the prior neighbor kept the hedges cut low which is important for
their views.
Vice-Chair Frymier asked what would make Mr. Fisher support the project. Mr. Fisher said that
although he appreciated that the comer has been pulled back from the original design, from his
property the overhang is a large mass in their line of sight. He said that he would like to see the
addition redesigned, pulled back or minimized because it juts into view from his property.
Chair Doyle noted the existing house was actually closer to the Fisher's. Mr. Fisher agreed, but
noted that it is currently a single-story home and not two stories with a deck looking into their
backyard and pool area.
Robin Fisher said that the issue is simply one comer of the upper addition which feels like a
gallery looking down. She said that if the comer was removed or pulled back 4 to 5 feet that
would take it out of their realm. She noted that the drawings show the hedge past the top of the
railing, which would be a huge impact to their views and she noted the applicant agreed to keep
the hedges trimmed down.
Bill Barry said that he and his wife live below the house and appreciate what the architect and
owner have done. He said that they like the design in theory but their main concern is the mass
of the structure. He said that from their house, it is about 15-20 feet up to the base of the
applicant's house and almost 30 feet to the second story addition. He suggested possibly sloping
the roof, but was not sure how much more could be done with the project design. He noted that
he had previously putting the wing on the other side of the house and thought there would be no
view problem in that area. He said that the hill below the subject house drops directly down to
his property.
Mr. Noyes said that they appreciate the neighbors' willingness to discuss their preferences and
that they were open to discussing issue of vegetation, but after a certain point during their
meeting with Mr. Fisher's, it seemed that Mr. Fisher simply did not want to see anything of the
house.
Chair Doyle asked and confirmed that the applicant had lowered the roofby one foot, lowered
the ceiling down to 8 feet, 6 inches before eventually moving up to 10 feet in the master
bedroom.
Planning Manager Watrous suggested that the entire master bedroom wing could be moved to
the right so the back wall is where the living room is. He thought that this would allow the same
views and would be less impactful as it would move the second story away from the Fisher's.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #1
1/17/08

Mr. Noyes said that this would be a significant change, adding that the owner is interested in
having a two-story volume in the living room and it would be a significant loss to him and the
design. He thought that if the second story was moved to the middle of the house, they would get
more complaints from neighbors below.
Vice-Chair Frymier asked if the overhang could move back a few more feet. Mr. Noyes
reiterated that the overhang was consistent with the Hillside Guidelines and they have already
moved it back significantly, which now constricts the rooms on the fIrst floor.
Chair Doyle asked if the house would use the existing foundation. Mr. Noyes explained that
there is a piece of the existing building which would be eliminated and they will need to do a
small area of new foundation because of moving the overhang area back. He reiterated that the
design is truly meant to be a renovation and not a completely new home, and any new foundation
work required of them would cause them to review the financial situation of the project.
Boardmember Corcoran asked if the living room windows could be lowered at all. Mr. Noyes
replied that these windows would cause no privacy issue.
Planning Manager Watrous noted that the railings shown on the master bedroom deck are
horizontal and climbable and would most likely not be approved by the Town's Building
Department. The applicant said that they would comply with building codes.
The public hearing was closed.
Boardmember Teiser noted that the impact on both neighbors is only from their outside areas and
not from inside the homes.
Boardmember Glassner noted that the applicant is not proposing a new structure on a vacant lot,
but is instead trying to make the existing home better. He believed that the applicant has gone as
far as he can and the project appears to be significantly improved.
Boardmember Teiser said that the comer is the only problem from the Fishers' house.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that the design is beautiful, but he felt that the applicant is trying
to adhere to a design that is not very flexible. He said that some designs simply do not work on
certain sites and this contemporary design limits what the Board can do. He stated that the
Hillside Guidelines discourage the expansive amount of glass windows, noting that the design
includes a 23 foot high glass feature on both sides which would be prominent when looking up
from Tiburon Boulevard. He cited Goal 2, Principal 2 regarding large expanses of materials on a
single plane, Goal 2, Principle 4 to use great care with reflective materials, and Goal 2, Principle
6 to avoid excessive windows. He encouraged the Board to keep some of these more macro
issues in mind when reviewing this house.
Vice-Chair Frymier agreed that Boardmember Corcoran's comments were valid, but felt that this
project would be a big improvement and create a gorgeous house. She stated that this project
optimizes what Tiburon is and she said that the Board should honor the architecture. She stated
TmURON D.R.B. MINUTES #1
1/17/08
12
that the windows do not seem enormous. She was concerned with maintaining the integrity and
architecture of the house.
Boardmember Glassner stated that the Hillside Guidelines are a tool and it is sometimes difficult
to enforce them to the letter. He believed that the structure was not obtrusive, was better than the
existing house and was not that far off from the spirit of the Guidelines.
Chair Doyle stated that it is often difficult to build a nontraditional design simply because it is
different. He said that even if the windows were changed, the project would still have the same
mass and feel. He said that a traditional house design would make the structure seem even more
maSSIve.
Boardmember Corcoran stated that the house would look massive from Tiburon Boulevard and
the height issues would be even more of a concern with a different design. He said that the
Board has to honor the Hillside Guidelines and reiterated that not every house design can work in
every location. He suggested moving the master bedroom area above the living room, and the
applicant could figure out where to move other portions of the house around.
Chair Doyle noted that from downtown he looks up at houses that rise three stories straight up.
He was unsure what to suggest to the architect other than putting a trellis feature out by the
bedroom doorway or openings into the overhangs to alleviate some of the problems from the
neighbors below.
ACTION: It was MIS (GlassnerlFrymier) to continue the application to the February 7,
2008 meeting. Vote: 5-0.

A request has been made for the construction of a new single-family dwelling on the property
located at 5 Saint Bernard Lane. Currently a single-family dwelling occupies the property. The
TIBURON n.R.B. MINUTES #1
1/17/08
13
proposal calls for the demolition of more than 50% the existing walls of the home. By
demolishing more than 50% of the structure, the project is therefore classified as "new
construction." The proposed project would maintain a two-level home design. The proposal
would reconfigure and enlarge the home on the second floor to include an additional bedroom
and a two car garage. The frrst floor would be expanded to include an additional bedroom and a
secondary dwelling unit. The existing carport would be eliminated. The existing flat roofline
would be expanded and reconfigured to include three ridges. The existing chimneys would be
expanded and copper caps added to the tops.
Daniel Hunter, architect, described the proposed house and said that they are trying to work with
the existing foundation. He stated that this was a modest proposal which would stay within the
footprint of the northwest side, with no variances or no exceptions. He noted that a secondary
dwelling unit would be used for the owner's daughter.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember Corcoran referred to the three windows above the front door, noting the Board
had difficulty in the past with a similar request. He did not believe the situation would block
views but might cause light pollution. Mr. Hunter said that there will be some lighting directly
above the door, but none directed at the windows and he noted neighbors were well-screened by
a number of pine trees.
Boardmember Glassner noted that there were no letters objecting to the project and he felt that
this was a thorough and complete design. He said that he was not fond of the roof color and
suggested that it be toned down.
Vice-Chair Frymier agreed that the roof color should be toned down, adding that she was not a
big fan of tile roofs, which look a bit dated.
Chair Doyle stated that he had no issues with the roof material but agreed that the color could be
toned down a bit.
Boardmember Corcoran agreed, asking that the roof color be less orange and that uplighting be
avoided in the hallway cupola area.
ACTION: It was M/S (Glassner/Corcoran) moved that the project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the project
with the attached conditions of approval, with the additional condition that the roof
material and color be reviewed by Planning Division staff. Vote: 5-0.

your community.
In pursuit of attaining our goal, we are sending you this letter to inform you of an exciting
programming enhancement scheduled to take place in your community.
Effective February 6, 2008, we are adding KICU-DTKTV to the Limited Basic level of
service on channel #197. KICU has picked up KTVN as a multicast channel which
programming consists of Korean language programs and is operated out of the San
Jose area.
Customers will be required to use a Digital Control Terminal to view the programming
on channel #197.
As always, if you should have any questions or concerns regarding the matter, please

Dear Ms. Curran:
We are asking community leaders to share their voices in a county-wide event - "Wee Read - Raising A
Reader Story Time" on Thursday, April 3, 2008. As a part of Marin's Month of the Young Child celebration (in
concert with the National Association for the Education of Young Children), we are hoping that you will
support Marin's early literacy efforts by reading a storybook aloud to a group of children in a child care
center or a family child care home.
Research has shown that as a child develops a love for books and the written and spoken word, there grows a
greater likelihood for later success in school and life. It is in this spirit that Parent Services Project in partnership
with the Marin County Child Care Commission and other members of the early care and education community
asks you to join this county-wide read aloud time on Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.
We are asking every early childhood program - child care, Head Start and family child care providers - as well
as the county libraries and those teaching the early years in school to all read aloud to the children at this same
time. This will be a resounding time when all voices are joined together reading.
Please let us know if you are available and willing to help us celebrate this important time in children's lives.
Please contact La Shondra Brannon at (415) 473-3306 no later than Tuesday, February 19, 2008, so you can be
connected to an early care and education program in the community.
Thank you in advance for considering this request and we look forward to hearing back from you.

Dear Friend of the Foundation:
I am pleased to enclose the just-published report on giving and volunteering trends in
Marin that was commissioned by the Marin Community Foundation. This is a follow-up
report to the first of its kind, released in 2001.
The report describes very positive trends in overall giving and volunteering in the
County, as well as how younger, newer residents in Marin are ready to become involved
and committed members of the community.
As with our earlier report, we hope its findings will be useful to nonprofit groups,
schools, service organizations, congregations, and other institutions whose work requires
a knowledgeable and active citizenry.
Finally, this report reflects one of the Marin Community Foundation's enduring values,
which is to encourage greater philanthropy of all kinds throughout the County.
We hope you find the report valuable to you and the organizations you represent.
Regards,
