The action taken by the Council in removing the prepared resolution from the consent calendar, and the subsequent modification of this resolution, was accomplished without notice or advance warning to CKS of any kind that such action was contemplated. The effect of this unilateral action taken by the Council was to completely deprive CKS of any opportunity to hear, comment upon, refute, and/or present its consultants opinions/comments on any/all of the reasons behind the taking of said action. In this regard, we attach, and incorporate, CKS's architects' initial comments/objections to the actions taken by the Council, as an indication of commentary that would have been presented had CKS been given an opportunity to participate in the single-sided discussions that led to the objected-to action here. Moreover, the form and content of the Resolution that appeared on the Consent calendar was provided to CKS for comment and it accurately memorialized the determinations made by the Town Council following the completion of the hearing on the ORB appeal which occurred on March 5, 2008. It is requested that a copy of the draft minutes for the meeting at which the objected-to action was taken be provided to the undersigned prior to the hearing herein requested. Additional, copies of any written communications, of any type, to the Town staff or Council, requesting changes be made to the Resolution appearing on the Consent Calendar, also be provided prior to the rehearing being heard.

CKS reserves the right to further amend this application prior to the hearing. , S _ phen Fierber , Pr sident Congregation Kol Shofar Attachment ATTACHMENT Item 6: There had been no prior mention of bronze or tinted skylights. Such coloration greatly, and negatively, affects the quality of light emitted. We find this condition unacceptable. Blackout shades in all skylights are already mandatory. Why should anything else be required? There was never a discussion of black~6ut shades on all clerestory windows. It was pointed out that there would be black-out shades on new classroom clerestory windows, so that those rooms could be darkened at will. It was never agreed that all clerestory windows would require black-out shades. Therefore there is no reason why conduit should be installed for such wiring. Item 20: We presume this provision is included to make clear that no noise from trash collection or storage is to be emitted into the neighborhood at night at the conclusion of events in the MPB. To that end, space for trash in the enclosed loading area refers to trash originating from events held in the MPB only. All other trash, recycling and organic/landscape waste will be contained in the designated trash collection area located in the service area accessed from Via Los Altos, as planned and noted on the drawings. Item 22: There had been prior discussion of painting the Annex building. There had been no prior mention of landscaping around the Annex. Any such landscaping would not be visible from off site, and would constitute an increase in scope of landscape design responsibilities. Of course, the addition of the children's play area in front of the Annex will substantially affect/improve the appearance of this part of the site. Item 27: April Phillips is requested to submit revised landscape drawings re: corner Blackfield & Via Los Altos by 60 days after 3/19/08 date of resolution: approximately 5/19/08 The neighbors' desire for enhanced planting at the intersection of Blackfield Drive and Via Los Altos was noted at the Town Council ORB Appeal hearing. The design team agreed to make such enhancements. The presumption has been that the drawings submitted for permit would incorporate those enhancements. It is not clear what is to be served by having intermediate drawings submitted in 60 days. What will the process for reviewing them be? Will there need to be another hearing? Under what criteria would they be reviewed? If accepted, what does it mean? If rejected, who establishes what changes should be made? Item 28: Why provide conduit to clerestory windows? CKS was to provide conduit to skylights and light shafts because everyone agreed that pulling shades manually over very high skylights, particularly in the sanctuary would be difficult. However, manually drawing blinds over clerestory windows is easy to do. There would seem to be no reason to go to the expense of bringing power to these areas. In fact, few of the clerestory windows are visible to anyone off site. Item 29: It was agreed at the Town Council DRB Appeal hearing that the folding exterior door would be comprised of a series of vertical panels that can be pulled sideways to open and close, similar to those made by a manufacturer called Nana. Inherent is such an approach is the ability to have the opening partially open or fully open. That being the case, the suggestion that the opening be comprised of 3 panels which can be independently opened and closed is mute. Three separate doors were discussed by Council ONLY if the doors were to open vertically, to assure the possibility of partial closure. That option was dropped when it was explained that it would be technically impossible without columns separating the doors. Therefore, the type of door was agreed to be horizontal sliding which could easily vary in the degree of opening while remaining as ONE door. Item 30: April Phillips to submit revised, widened (by 2') parking lot with 14' drive aisle at east side by 60 day after 3/19/08 date of resolution: approximately 5/19/08. Again, why is it necessary to submit these drawings apart from the rest of the drawing set at the time of permit submittal? Item 31: April Phillips to show wheelstops, etc. but this does not have to be submitted early. Item 32: The use of the entire campus was severely limited during the CUP process. All remaining uses, not stricken by the CUP, are presumed to be able to occur unfettered, as long as the peace and quiet of the neighborhood is not compromised. With such a very limited number of allowable events, why shouldn't the tent be allowed to be erected for a single day in the course of the regular (i.e., non-High Holy Day) days whenever shade is desired?

While we recognize the importance of establishing group living facilities for those recovering from alcohol or drug addiction, we also have strong concerns about concentration of those facilities into a campus-like setting. The overall impact of multiple facilities is not consistent with the intended use in our single-family neighborhoods. According to a July 2005 UCLA study, 140,000 Californians were diverted from incarceration under Proposition 36 during the first four years of the program. According to that report, the success rate has been shown to be approximately 30- 35 percent. Many, if not all, of those 140,000 have enrolled in residential treatment. This has resulted in a proliferation of group-home living arrangements in single-family neighborhoods. Although we support residential treatment, we are concerned about the potential impact on our neighborhoods. When a service provider acquires multiple adjacent properties, all providing housing for alcohol and drug recovery, there is a demonstrated increase in activities which are disruptive to a residential area. Group-home housing receives more frequent service vehicle deliveries, staff arrivals and departures at the time of shift changes, and residents congregating outside. AB 2903 seeks simply to allow for basic local regulation when multiple units are integrated within a single alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facility and, in the aggregate, includes greater than six residents. 1 J.. This is common-sense legislation that will allow for local governments to address impacts on campus-like group living arrangements, while permitting individual units containing six or fewer residents to continue to operate.

BOX 3557 - SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA 949 12-3557 PHONE (4 I 5) 457-9760 FAX (4 15) 457-3003 RECEIVED APR - 7 2008 April 4, 2008 Peggy Curran, Town Manager Town of Tiburon 1505 Tiburon Blvd. Tiburon, CA 94920 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TIBURON Dear Tiburon Town Council Members, This year, Mill Valley Refuse Service vv'ill not be requesting a rate increase for refuse hauling and recycling services that we provide to your community. Steep rises in fuel costs and a new union contract that provides our workers with higher wages have been largely offset by an increase last year in recycling redemption revenues and the continued success of our Worker Safety Program, which has reduced workplace injuries and, consequently, our workers compensation insurance bill. These are the main reasons we will not be making a request to increase rates this year. On a related matter, as part of an overall review of our internal office and accounting operations, we have updated our rate sheets to more completely explain our billing policies and our full range of rates and services. For example, due to demand from some commercial customers (mainly restaurants), we have added special pricing for increased weekend services. These new items are indicated on lines in the rate sheet that have not appeared in the past. The updated rate sheet is attached, and we would like to present it to the Council for approval. Let me emphasize that the updated rate sheets do not include any rate increases. Mill Valley Refuse Service thanks you and all of the residents in Tiburon for continuing to allow us to provide you with refuse hauling and recycling services.

W R Forde Associates will be installing a larger pipe in your neighborhood to, increase the water volume available for fighting fires as part of Marin's Fire Flow Program. This program was developed cooperatively by fire chiefs, county and city officials, concerned citizens and MMWD representatives. According to local fire chiefs, water availability for fire fighting is one of Marin's primary public safety issues. Fire flow improvement projects will continue for the next 3 years. Your service may be interrupted for short periods during construction. The District will notify you 24 ' to 48 hours in advance of each shutdown by hanging a tag on your FRONT GATE or, if you do not have a gate, on your FRONT DOORKNOB. If a medical condition exists which requires that you receive continuous water service, please notify me at the nu~ber below as soon as possible. During construction, please be aware of heavy equipment and construction personnel, and follow the instructions of the contractor's flagmen and signs. Also, reduce your travel speed to maintain safe conditions within the construction zone. The Contractor's normal work hours are from 8:00AM - 5:00PM, with setup and cleanup activities possibly occurring just outside this time window. We expect work to be completed around August 10, 2008 assuming no unforeseen difficulties or inclement weather. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. The Contractor will take all measures possible to minimize inconveniences associated with construction operations, including excessive noise and unnecessary traffic delays.

He was told that the usual channel was to go through the Town Manager, but since he was already there he could present his request. He acknowledged that the Town has an accepted list of historical names in place, and favored Mewah over Miwok. His reasoning was that it was on the water; significant to the Peninsula; it means "the people" and the name is short. He also would like to see a historical plaque for the park. The TPF would be consulted in the creation of this historic marker. Mr. Leighton stated that there was going to be a path connecting the Tiburon Blvd. with the bike path just at the entrance to the South of the Knoll Park. This could take 6 months to a year to complete. He suggested that the path reopening would provide a good opportunity to also inaugurate the park with a new name and a plaque. He volunteered to do some research on the area for historical remains, such as shell mounds that have been found along Richardson Bay. The Commission liked the idea of renaming the park and the possibility of two more plaques, such as the long-overdue plaque marking the location of the Del Mar Dairy, and at the site of the old railroad berm. This also would be included in the TPF "Historical Trail" map. Since Mr. Leighton came directly to the Commission, I would like for your direction of how to proceed in the project. I told Mr. Leighton that I would inform you of his request and get back to him or you could get back to him on the next move. Thank you for your help. T.BUROM H_R.TAG. & ART .

Commissioner Gotz had researched blinds for that location through the Hunter Douglas Company. The Commissioners agreed that a neutral color would be best. Commissioner Rice, and I will pick up color samples from Blinds & Designs in the Cove for the Commissioners to see and make their selection at the April meeting. Some of the tentatively choices was for White Fluff, Daisy White, Almond, and Whipped Cream. It would be good if you could see the samples before our April meeting or even attend the meeting advising the Commission of your choice. Of course, we would also need your approval before we can move forward to ordering the blinds. Commissioner Gotz said he has them in his house and they are easy to install. He has also volunteered to the measuring of the windows.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - Regular Meeting of March 12, 2008 ACTION: It was MIS (Fraser/Frymier) to approve the minutes of the March 12,2008 meeting as written. Vote: 4-0. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 7 & 9 WILKINS COURT: PRECISE PLAN (PD #19) TO MODIFY A BUILDING ENVELOPE AND CREATE A LANDSCAPE ENVELOPE; FILE #30801; Quentin Keith Hills, Owner; Ruschmeyer & Associates, Applicant; Assessor's Parcel No. 039-070-32;[SP] CONTINUED TO APRIL 9,2008. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-MARCH 26, 2008 MINUTES # 962 Page I 2. 1600 MAR WEST STREET: REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #10406 GRANTED TO EXPAND A PRIVATE RECREATIONAL FACILITY (TIBURON PENINSULA CLUB); Southern Marin Recreation Center, Inc., Owner and Applicant; Assessor Parcel Nos., 058-171-17, 76 & 84, and 058-240- 21 [DW]. Planning Manager Watrous announced that Commissioners Fraser and Frymier and Chair Aguirre are current members of the Tiburon Peninsula Club. Because the situation would cause the lack of an established quorum, the FPPC provides for methods to re-qualify a member in order to participate which he said can be done in a variety of ways. Commissioners Fraser and Frymier picked random slips from a hat and Commissioner Frymier's was re-qualified to participate and Commissioner Fraser was excused from the meeting. Planning Manager Watrous gave the staff report and said on February 23, 2005, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005-02 approving a conditional use permit for the expansion of a private recreational facility (Tiburon Peninsula Club, or TPC) on property located at 1600 Mar West Street. The use permit provides for a one-year review of the permit. He said that many conditions of approval were construction-related and already completed. He described concerns regarding parking, including the condition of the unpaved parking lot and excessive parking on Mar West Street. He stated that the overflow parking lot has not been finished and during last September's tennis tournament, there were many vehicles parked in un-permitted spaces and Tiburon Police issued over 50 citations for improperly parked vehicles. He noted that TPC has filed an application to increase their membership and staff has encouraged TPC to get feedback first during this review prior to scheduling that request. He stated that he had discussed a condition requiring a fence along the property line with the Marin County Open Space District, who indicated they are willing to leave it to the Town's discretion as to its necessity. Bruce Ross, Member of TPC and Chairman of the Seniors Committee, introduced himself and TPC President Jeff Babikian. Mr. Babikian said that TPC underwent a successful $8 million renovation and is one of the top fitness facilities in northern California. He said that while the project was completed within budget, they under- estimated the expenses following construction and the Club has recently voted to raise $1.1 million in debt to finish the parking lot and address other improvements. He said that they have learned a lot since opening and have taken a proactive stance to fix things. He said that they have obtained bids on improving the parking lot and finishing the overflow parking lot. Commissioner Kunzweiler asked what improvements were being considered for the parking lot. Mr. Ross said they have chosen not to pave the parking lot with asphalt to avoid contaminating the marsh. He described the current unpaved parking surface which has proven to be unsatisfactory because cars get very dusty. He described several possible permeable surface systems for the parking lot their proposed efforts to finish and delineate the overflow lot. He said that people park on Mar West Street for a variety of TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-MARCH 26, 2008 MINUTES # 962 Page 2 reasons, as people do not want dust on their cars or are in a hurry to get into the fitness center. He said that there is legal parking on Mar West Street now and unless a "No Parking Zone" or some restriction is implemented by the Town, there is no way TPC can force people to not park there. Julie Coulston, General Manager, explained that she had not reviewed the parking management plan and therefore did not comply with it completely during the September tennis tournament. She noted that the overflow lot was not available at that time, but they intend to have it in place for all future special events. She said that they did not put up the "no parking" sign at Mariner Way. She said that they had put up the "parking lot full" signs and directed visitors to use downtown parking, included maps for people who purchased tickets in-person or by mail and provided a shuttle service to other downtown lots. Commissioner Kunzweiler asked how many people attended the tennis tournament. Ms. Coulston said that a total of 400-500 people attended per day, which included employees, members, participants and others. In response to a question from Commissioner Kunzweiler, Mr. Ross stated that there were 188 parking spaces in the main lot and another 84 spaces in the overflow lot. Ms. Coulston said that in the future that they will be able to accommodate about 80 valet parked cars in the lower driveway by the lower courts. Vice-Chair O'Donnell stated that the project was supposed to channel members through the clubhouse with a card key system. Ms. Coulston that the club still uses a key card system for its members but has also installed a check-in point at the fitness center after the Fire District required the gate to be kept open. Mr. Ross made a suggestion that Mar West Street could also be taped/coned off during special events to prevent illegal parking. Commissioner Frymier voiced concern about lighting and safety at night in the parking lot. Ms. Coulston stated that they are working on an improved lighting plan, probably using low bollard lighting fixtures. Vice-Chair O'Donnell asked why the Town did not require the parking lot to be paved, particularly in light of the requirement to pave the parking lot next to Town Hall. Planning Manager Watrous stated that an unpaved surface would allow fewer contaminants to run off into the marsh, and noted that the parking lot next to Town Hall slopes away from the marsh. He said that the Town was supportive of the Club's approach to mitigate the issue with a permeable surface and did not have any preference for a paved surface. Mr. Ross stated that the gravel surface allows water to permeate through the surface and is a friendlier surface when viewed from above. He added that an asphalt surface with a system to collect runoff would be much more expensive. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-MARCH 26, 2008 MINUTES # 962 Page 3 Vice-Chair 0 'Donnell said he talked to TPC members and found widespread support for paving the lot and agreement that the current system is a failure, and he believed that the condition of the lot forces members to park on Mar West Street. President Jeff Babikian agreed that the current system is failing and this is why they polled their members, who have approved the proposed system. He said the asphalt and runoff system alone would cost in excess of $1 million, and the proposed unpaved system would cost only $400,000. He said that TPC is trying to get greener and that here is not an overwhelming support for paving. He said that they are researching all systems and want to take a methodical approach in order to make a lasting and effective decision. Commissioner Frymier asked if TPC could get a vote from their membership on a parking lot system within 60 days. Mr. Babikian said that it was not possible, as they need to do more due diligence on the system to be installed. Planning Manager Watrous asked if the vote to incur more debt would decrease the urgency of the club to increase its membership. Mr. Babikian said that the urgency would be somewhat decreased. He stated that TPC was on budget for construction, they underestimated their increased operating expenses and would like the option of increasing the number of members. He said that he has been tracking the number of cars parked in the lot, which has been averaging 30 to 60 cars per day, so there should be plenty of parking for more members. He added that the membership level for TPC is 650 and had not increased in over 20 years. Vice-Chair O'Donnell closed the public hearing. Commissioner Kunzweiler congratulated TPC on a job well done. He said that there were two sets of parking problems. He said that dusty and muddy conditions were the club's problem, and special events, and because the Town did not want the site to look like a commercial parking lot, he supported their efforts to explore permeable surface options. He said that the Town's parking issues revolve around special events. He was surprised to hear that there is no limit on the number of people attending special events and said that the Town may need to consider some kind of cap on attendance at special events or special regulations on large events. He felt that with over 250 parking spaces, TPC should be able to find a better way to manage parking for special events. He agreed that the review should be continued for 60 days, adding that the request to increase membership could also be discussed at that time. He said that he would like to see their ideas on parking lot materials used and timeframes for completion. He also asked TPC to address the pile of rocks on the Mt. Tamalpais side of the parking lot and agreed the fence adjacent to the County Open Space property should not be an issue. Commission Frymier echoed Commissioner Kunzweiler's comments and said that TPC has become an impressive space. She strongly agreed with avoiding asphalt parking surfaces and making efforts to be as green as possible, adding that looking down onto a black asphalt surface would not be a positive experience. She said that she never sees the Club full at any time and never crowded. She acknowledged that special events parking TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-MARCH 26, 2008 MINUTES # 962 Page 4 always seems to be a last-minute effort and she encouraged additional volunteers from the Club to direct traffic. She asked that more lighting be installed in the parking lot for safety purposes and said that the Town may wish to consider installing another pedestrian crossing for Mar West Street closer to the fitness center. Vice-Chair O'Donnell agreed that the club is beautiful and offered his congratulations to TPC. He said that the Planning Commission's role to help TPC function better. He agreed that the pile of rocks should be removed and that the fence is not needed next to the open space. He felt that the lighting in the parking lot can be addressed once the lot is improved. He stated that he visited the site recently and saw 12 cars parked along Mar West Street and only 18 cars in the parking lot. He said that the Town may wish to install "no parking" signs along a portion of Mar West Street and think about how to force the membership to park in the lot. Planning Manager Watrous noted that staff has internally discussed the matter and may consider a permit parking program for residents only to park on Mar West Street. Commissioner Kunzweiler said before going down this path, he encouraged TPC to give this issue some thought over the next 60 days. Vice-Chair O'Donnell said that has also observed Mar West Street on early mornings, where people parking along the street to go to the club when it opens at 6:00 a.m. He said that the street is dark and dangerous at these times and the club needs to get members to park in the lot. He said he was not recommending asphalt for the parking lot, but he just wanted a surface that works. He agreed that a permeable surface is better, but hated to have the Club spend money for a system that does not work. He stated that there are not many special events during the year and suggested the Club follow the mitigation measures already in place. ACTION: It was MIS (Kunzweiler/Frymier) to continue the public hearing to the May 28, 2008 meeting. Vote: 3-0-1 (Fraser recused).
