TOWN OF TIBURON
Dear Mayor Slavitz:
I am responding to Laurie K. Nilsen's Disaster Preparedness Newsletter regarding fire
safety and thoroughly agree with the dry and dangerous fire conditions as stated in the
newsletter .
I recently cleaned up the area on Rock Hill Road between Tiburon Boulevard and
Hawthorne Drive. This area had not been cleaned in at least 20 years and was loaded
with dry brush, ivy and other debris. I think other areas could be cleaned as well.
Along Tiburon Boulevard are many areas of tall dry grass and weeds that needs to be
cleared, as they are a fire hazard and an eye sore. I understand that Cal-Trans is
responsible for this, but does not have the funds to adequately care for it. Since Tiburon
is concerned about fire safety, it seems as if the city council could cooperate with Cal-
Trans in making Tiburon Boulevard more fire safe and more beautiful.
Please do what you can do to help with this process.
Sincerely,
.~.~

COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING:
Planning Manager Watrous reminded the Commission of the April 29 workshop with the

date, nothing has been scheduled for the May 14 Planning Commission meeting and
depending upon the outcome of tonight's meeting, the Commission may consider

PUBLIC HEARING:
1. 426 GREENWOOD BEACH ROAD: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
#10803; PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A DOCK AND FLOAT AND
LEGALIZE AN EXISTING PIER AND SEA WALL; FILE #10803;Nicky
Hall, Owner / Applicant; Assessor's Parcel No. 055-121-33; CONTINUED
FROM APRIL 19,2008
Planning Manager Watrous gave the staff report and described the location of the
proposed dock and float and existing pier and seawalls on the property located at 426
Greenwood Beach Road. He said that the dock and float are intended to provide kayak or
small boat access to the bay, with no boat lift proposed that would allow larger boats to
be moored at this location. He summarized the Richardson Bay Dock and Boat Study
adopted by the County Board of Supervisors in 2000 which evaluated the cumulative
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES # 964
Page 1
effects of dock development and traffic, wildlife and the Richardson Bay Wildlife
Sanctuary. He noted that this study recommends that no new docks should be approved
for the northern shore which includes the subject site primarily due to potential
environmental concerns, often having to do with the need for dredging to get boats in and
out of the area. He stated that this application would not involve any channel dredging
and that the applicant has promised to abide by the limitations on boating in Richardson
Bay which prohibit boating in the Sanctuary from October 15t through March 31 5t every
year. He said that Staffhas made a preliminary determination that the project would be
exempt from CEQA, but this is a qualified exemption that could be modified if the
Commission feels there would be an impact on environmental resource of hazardous or
critical concerns because of the need for protection of the Richardson Bay Wildlife
Sanctuary.
In response to a question from Vice-Chair Kunzweiler, Planning Manager Watrous stated
that the rationale for restricting docks in the Richardson Bay Dock and Boat Study was
primarily due to dredging, but that this was not the sole concern. He noted that the study
contains concerns in areas where kayaks or other light vessels are being put out, since
they have better access through the Richardson Bay and could create disturbances for
wildlife and birds in the area.
The public hearing was opened.
Nicky Hall, applicant, said that the only time kayaks would create an impact would be
during the period between October and March when boating is prohibited in the
sanctuary. She said that the seawall and pier were built sometime in the mid-1970's about
15 years before they bought the property. She said that she contacted BCDC several years
ago and they could not find any record that these improvements had ever been approved.
She said that she was told that she could only get approval for water-related uses and they
suggested that she add a gangway and a float. She said there would be no dredging and
the only structures into the bay would be two wood pilings. She said that the project
would not increase noise or activity along the shoreline. She stated that the dock would
be much smaller than other docks in Strawberry referred to in the Richardson Bay Dock
and Boat Study. She said that the docks addressed in the study were substantially
different, with sizes ranging from 450 to 700 square feet, while the proposed dock would
have an area of only 80 square feet.
Commissioner Frymier asked if there were any limitation on the size of boats which
could use this dock. Ms. Hall did not know, noting that there are people who have small
skiffs with motors on them, and that boars cannot go more than 5 m.p.h. through the area.
She said that the intent was mostly for kayaks or a small sailboat.
Commissioner Fraser said that he visited the property and tried to visualize what the
additional structure might look like. He did not feel that the neighbors would be impacted
but thought that the dock would be more visible from the calm and serene environment of
Blackie's Pasture. He said that it was difficult to determine exactly where the dock
would be located.
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES # 964
Page 2
Ms. Hall said that the dock would not be visible from Blackie's Pasture, adding that the
structure would be even with the water level, making it even less visible.
Chair O'Donnell asked if the main reason for the dock was for water access and kayak
use. Ms. Hall stated that she originally wanted to just approve the existing structures, but
felt that it would be nice to have the dock for kayak use.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Fraser said that the one concern he had was the possible visibility of the
structure from Blackie's Pasture, but after hearing Ms. Hall's explanation, it most likely
would only be minimally visible. He said that it makes sense to legalize the existing
structures, but he would like a condition of the approval to limit use of the dock for only
non-motorized craft.
Vice-Chair Kunzweiler said that he was somewhat stumped on the logic of the request.
He said that BCDC's initial recommendation to legalize pier and seawall with a water-
related use began the path which has now resulted in a proposal for a dock. He said that
he noticed other seawalls in the vicinity and did not know whether they were approved or
not, but the logic of BCDC requiring a dock to have a seawall did not make sense.
Planning Manager Watrous stated that his discussions with BCDC have been similar to
those of the applicant. He said that although BCDC's direction seems counter-intuitive
for an agency that is intended to protect the Bay, part of their charge is to encourage more
private and public use of the Bay for recreational purposes. He added that many of the
seawalls along Greenwood Beach Road likely pre-date the existence of BCDC.
Vice-Chair Kunzweiler stated that his other concern is that the County's direction to
restrict or limit the expansion of private docks on private property seems to contradict
BCDC's direction, as described by Planning Manager Watrous. In the end, he agreed
with the intent of limiting the number of docks based upon the direction of the study and
he was not enthusiastic about this application. He believed that this request was clearly
against the direction of the County's study and he had not heard a compelling reason to
go against the wishes of the County.
Commissioner Frymier said that she was not compelled to put another dock in the Bay,
which feels like an intrusion into open space. She said that with the County study as
background, this did not seem to make sense.
Chair O'Donnell stated that he was somewhat on the fence about the dock. He said that
the existing pier was not ideal, but was not a barrier to putting a small kayak or small
sailboat in the water. He noted that the County study states that "new docks should not be
approved for the northern shore." He said that this is an extremely shallow area, and he
was not sure the dock was justifiable on environmental grounds. He understood that the
intent of the study is to deal with larger motorcraft, but there are also other environmental
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES-APRIL 23, 2008
MINUTES # 964
Page 3
grounds. He recognized that this was a modest dock, but added that these improvements
would be there for many years. He did not feel that this was an onerous proposal, so he
was somewhat undecided about the project.
Vice-Chair Kunzweiler said that he would be hard pressed to deny other dock
applications if this dock was approved.
Commissioner Fraser noted that the applicant has an existing pier and would not involve
dredging, which is one of the main concerns of the County study. He said that the study
assumes that dredging is needed for larger watercraft to use the Bay, and that if the
approval includes a limitation that prohibits the use of motorized craft, this would not set
a precedent for other docks in the area.
Ms. Hall noted that she is one of the few people who own a water lot, so there would not
be that many others that would have the ability to construct a dock.
Chair O'Donnell stated that BCDC believed that a water-related use was supportable and
he agreed that the application made sense.
Commissioner Frymier noted that there is an existing pier and she felt that the dock
would beautify the shoreline. She asked what would happen to the existing pier and
seawall if the application was denied. Planning Manager Watrous said that conceivably
the pier and seawall would have to be removed, but he noted that Town has not generally
been active in compelling removal of such improvements.
Vice-Chair Kunzweiler said that the Planning commission tries to balance the objectives
of the applicant to do something reasonable with their property with environmental issues
that have not really been addressed. He noted that the County study also dealt with issues
and impacts related to non-motorized craft, and that even with a limitation on motorized
craft, this dock would encourage a higher degree of activity than what was recommended
by the County study. He acknowledged that BCDC and the County were two different
agencies with different charges. He said that he would err on the side of environmental
considerations.
Commissioner Frymier said that the study discourages additional docks, but with the
existing pier this would be more of an improvement than a new dock. She agreed that
BCDC and the County study seem to be in conflict.
Chair O'Donnell said that the item was well noticed and noted that there have been no
complaints from the neighbors or any correspondence at all regarding the application.
Commissioner Fraser recommended adding a condition of approval to the resolution
prohibiting the use of motorized craft.

ACTION: It was MIS (Fraser/Kunzweiler) to approve the resolution as amended, with the
additional condition of approval prohibiting the use of motorized crafts. Vote: 3-1
(Kunzweiler voted no).
2. 761 Hilary Drive: Files #19908 and #10504; review of Conditional Use
Permit Granted to expand the facilities for an existing church (St. Hilary
Catholic Church) and School; Archdiocese of San Francisco,
Owner/Applicant; Assessor's Parcel Nos. 055-253-20 and 055-221-06
Planning Manager Watrous gave the staff report, stating that this was the latest in a series
of annual reviews of the conditional use permit approved in 2000 for the expansion of an
existing church (St. Hilary Catholic Church) and school on property located at 761 Hilary
Drive. He said that St. Hilary has been on good terms with neighbors in working through
issues, there have been no complaints and staff believes they are in substantial
compliance with the requirements of the use permit.
Chair O'Donnell and Commissioner Frymier disclosed their previous attendance to the
church.
The public hearing was opened. There was no public comment and the public hearing
was closed.
Vice-Chair Kunzweiler commented that it was great to see continued compliance and he
appreciated the cooperation of the church and its neighbors. It was the consensus of the
Commission that no changes to the use permit were required at this time.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am pleased to invite you to a special meeting on June 10, 2008 from 1:00-
3 :00 pm at the Oakland Marriott City Center, Room 210, to discuss the prospects
of an extensive partnership with selected cities to promote electric vehicles in the
San Francisco Bay Area. Nissan North America, Inc. is highly interested in
conducting a demonstration in our region in large part because of the outstanding
reputation Bay Area public agencies have developed for demonstrating new fuels
and technologies for motor vehicles.
Concerns over global warming and climate change, improvements to battery
technology and electric drive trains, increased fuel costs and consumer demand
for better fuel economy have reinvigorated the development of electric and
hybrid-electric vehicles. The Bay Area's varied topography, traffic conditions,
climate and already-installed network of electric vehicle charging stations make it
an ideal location for testing the newest generation of electric vehicles.
At the meeting on June 10th, Nissan representatives will discuss the scope and
schedule for the demonstration project, provide a description of the vehicle
technology and answer questions regarding participation by local public agencies.
This meeting is by invitation only. Additional details, including the meeting
agenda, will be sent soon in a follow up letter. In the meantime, please R.S.V.P.
to Michael Murphy at 415-749-4644 or mmurphy@baaqmd.gov.
Sincerely,
~~~

Dear Mayor -
I am pleased to provide you with the Marin County Affordable Housing Inventory 2008.
This study provides a comprehensive picture of income restricted housing in the 11 cities
and towns and the unincorporated area of Marin. The inventory surveyed all affordable
housing providers, which together supply 2,616 units at non-profit rental properties, 274
inclusionary rental units, 758 Below Market Rate ownership units, 573 units of public
housing and 2,269 Section 8 vouchers.
The study compares the overall Marin housing market with affordable housing, including
an overview of the housing stock, household demographics, employment, income, and
commute patterns. Data indicate that affordable housing plays a key role in providing
homes for low income residents of Marin County.
Please share this report with your council and members of your city staff. This report has
been sent to your Planning Commission Chair and Planning Director. It is also available
on the County's Affordable Housin~ website (www.marinhousinghelp.org).
Questions about the report can be directed to Stacey Laumann (slaumann@co.marin.ca.us) the
principal author of this report, or her supervisor Leelee Thomas (lthomas@co.marin.ca.us) of
the Community Development Agency's Affordable Housing Program.
Thank you,
