VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8. HARBOR CARRIER'S FERRY FARE INCREASE (Consultant's Report and
Committee Recommendations)
Town Manager Kleinert reported that in July 1980 the Town Council
considered the PUC application for a rate increase by Harbor Carriers.
This rate increase amounted to 39% on a commuter book of tickets. After
consideratio~this matter was remanded to the Council's Public Services
Committee (Rockey/Bergsund). In August the Town submitted a formal
protest to the PUC based on lack of complete and accurate statistical
information, and the adverse impact to the Town if the increase was
granted. The Public Services Committee requested permission to retain
a professional financial consultant to analyze the Crowley Maritime
records and evaluate the application. The financial consultant has
completed his investigation and the Committee is now submitting their
report and recommendations. Also working with the Public Services
Committee on this matter was CLOUT, City of Belvedere, Marin/Sonoma
Commuters and Friends of the Ferry. This report has been submitted to
Harbor Carriers and Councilman Rockey and Town Manager Kleinert m~with
their legal counsel regarding the report. Harbor Carrier's counsel
found the recommendations to be generally acceptable in principle.
Town Manager Kleinert introduced Mr. Richard Puntillo, the financial
consultant retained by the Town.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #549
JANUARY 7, 1981
PAGE TWO
Mr. Puntillo stated his purpose was to review the Crowley Maritime
accounting system, analyze it and come up with recommendations. Mr.
Puntillo stated the 39% increase is quite reasonable as ridership was
down 3% in 1979 and down 9% in 1980, while the cost of operations were
up dramatically. Mr. Puntillo stated Crowleys tour operations were
also declining, but the Tiburon / San Francisco commute run is
Crowley's largest loss in terms of dollars.
Councilman Edelstein suggested the Committee further investigate re-
aportionment of the increase with the non-regulated runs to achieve the
same end result. Mr. Hegarty, Crowley Maritime counsel, stated the cost of
tour runs have increased each year for the past three years and those
increases approximately total the increase being requested. Mrs. Polly
Smith stated she supports Councilman Edelstein's suggestion and suggested
the Consumer Advocate Group be asked to work with the Town on this matter.
Council directed the Public Services Committee to further investigate
the reaporitionment of fares and report back at the next regular meeting.
9. ESTABLISH NEW ZONING DISTRICT (RPD-4, Ordinance 2nd Reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this item is on
for second reading for adoption of a new zoning district with a density
range of 1 unit per 2 gross acres to 1 unit per 10 gross acres.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing. Being no response Mayor Bass
closed the public hearing.
Councilman Rockey questioned if the ordinance is passed tonight, it
would take effect in 30 days, and would this effect the consideration of th(
La Cresta master plan. Deputy Town Attorney Ragghianti stated he did not
think it would have any adverse effects.

Director of Community Development Hanna stated this matter is on for
second reading of the ordinance prezoning the La Cresta property RPD-4.
This zoning would allow for a maximum density of 43 units and a minimum
of 8 units.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mrs. Polly Smith questioned why the density of the project is higher than
that proposed in the Strawberry Plan. Mayor Bass stated there have
been a number of hearings in which the desnity has been reviewed, and given
the circulation, configuration, open space dedication and the concern of
housing, the Town does not have the same concerns as the Strawberry Plan.
Director Hanna also stated the property does not have the archeological
sites as the Ring Mountain property has. The Town feels that the denisty
was justified and that this would be discussed further under the next item.

property RPD-4 (#237 N.S.)

11. MASTER PLAN (La Cresta, Via Los Altos, Ordinance 2nd reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this matter is for
Master Plan approval for the~La Cresta project which is not presently
in the Town limits. Following master plan approval annexation proceedings
will be initiated. This master plan is for the development of. 87 acres
with a total of 29 units. Director Hanna stated at the first hearing of thE
master plan, Council considered the moderate income housing in-lieu fee.
The applicant has proposed to fulfill this condition by providing fees
for four units at $55,000 per unit. The applicant would pay for two units
at final map approval and the other two units in annual installments
with a 10% inflation factor. Director Hanna stated the Strawberry Plan
suggested 22 units on this property, but they did not have the benefit
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #549
JANUARY 7, 1981

of extensive soils reports done for this pr9ject. The property does not
share many of the unique features of the ad~hcent Ring Mountain property.
This project would gain its major access from Blackfield Road, no rare or
endangered plant or animal species appear on the property and it does
not appear that any archeological sites are located on the site.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Councilman Hanson asked for clarification of Mr. Jampolsky's letter
regarding Sky Road. Director Hanna stated Sky Road presently serves
4-5 units and Mr. Jampolsky is referring to his proposal to develop some
units on this property and will have Sky Road end in a cul-de-sac. He
wants assurance that the Town will not have access through Sky Road to
the La Cresta project. Director Hanna stated the applicant is
proposing two easements which could extend to the Jampolsky property.
Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Councilman Edelstein questioned condition #14 of the ordinance which states
the Town may' reduce the density based on findings or conditions. Council-
man Edelstein felt the wording is rather loose and suggested the findings
or conditions be clarified. Mr. Tom Newton, representing the applicant,
stated the applicant does agree to this condition as worded. Councilman
Edelstein suggested passing second reading of the ordinance with the
condition the exact wording that would clarify these findings be brought
back for action in the form of a resolution. Condition 14 was revised
to read, "The Town may reduce the density of the project during consideratiol
of the Precise Plan, and the guidelines for determining whether to reduce
the density shall further be adopted by the Town Council by Resolution. "

12. CERTIFY FINAL E.I.R. (Del Madera and Agins Master Plans)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this is the certificatic
of the final E.I.R. and not master plan review. The Planning Commission
has reviewed the EIR and recommends certification by the Town Council.
Director Hanna stated letters have been received from the Roundhill/
Rolling Hills Road POA and the Mt. Tiburon POA regarding the EIR and the
extension of Roundhill Road to serve the project. Director Hanna stated
the matter of extending Roundhill Road will be solved at the Master Plan
stage.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mrs. Thelma McCune, President Rolling Hill/Roundhill Road POA, expressed
her Associations' concern over an extension of Roundhill Road to serve
the proposed projects.
Mr. Bruce Moody stated he feels Roundhill Road is at its absolute
capacity as it serves Mt. Tiburon and Smith Ridge.
Mr. Bob Samulson, President Mt. Tiburon POA, expressed his concerns over
the amount of open space that would be left if Roundhill was extended up
as an arterial road or if Roundhill was extended into Gilmartin Drive
rather than Gilmartin extended straight up. Mr. Samulson stated access
to the open space in case of fire is a question and if Gilmartin was cut
as an arterial road through the open space the cut would serve as a useful
fire break. Mr. Samulson stated his concern that many children use
Roundhill as an ingress and egress route to Reed School and stated he
felt more traffic on Roundhill would be hazardous. Mr. Samulson also
addressed his concern over security if Roundhill was extended into
Gilmartin and stated circulation would be less circuitous
if Gilmartin was extended to the project.
Martha McCart, representing the applicants, stated she feels the
EIR is adequate and that it should be certified.
Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Mr. Richard Harris, EIR consultant, stated in his opinion the issue of
extending Roundhill Road was addressed at length in the EIR and
referred the Council to page 175 where alternative means of aGcess have
been acknowledged and stated he does not feel anything more could be
added.
Moved:
Vote:
certify the Final EIR as complete and the minutes and
letters be an attachment to the EIR

MOTION:
13. PRECISE PLAN & TENATIVE MAP (Cibrian, Paradise Drive & Taylor Road,
Resolution)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated the Planning Commission
has reviewed the precise plan and recommends approval by the Town Council.
The applicant has modified the lot lines from the original master plan and
Staff believes the modifications are appropriate. The applicant
has further defined the building envelopes and has reduced them
somewhat. The Planning Commission considered the offer of dedication of
open space, and the applicant will offer to the Town an area above the
project for dedication and an area that .will be dedicated as an easement.
The number of units approved in the Master Plan was II with 7 to be
built upon now and 4 to be built upon when a future alternative
access route becmmes available. Director Hanna stated a matter the
Council discussed during the Master Plan was the realignment of Taylor
Road and the improvement of the Taylor Road/Paradise Drive intersection.
The applicant has indicated on the precise plan map that the intersection
will be modified and Taylor Road will be realigned to make it a lesser
grade. The Planning Commission also discussed the possibility of
driveways being combined to reduce the amount of grading and excavation.
Councilman Edelstein questioned if the roadway configuration is satis-
factory. Town Engineer Bala stated it was.
Councibrem Bergsund asked if the existing pedestrian trail that runs along
the proposed open space area would remain. Director Hanna stated
there would be no change.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. Bob Alfred, Paradise Drive, requested Council not consider moving
Taylor Road. From his personal standpoint to change the road location
would create a hazard to him in trying to get out of his driveway
onto Paradise Drive, it will also appear that his driveway is an extension
of Taylor Road and motorists may try to enter his driveway, and this would
be an adverse impact on his personal life and the value of his property.
Mr. Alfred also stated the proposed change of the road will invite
speeding. Mr. Alfred stated there is a bus stop for children at the
bottom of Taylor Road and it is the only safe place where children could
stand, and would be eliminated by the proposed changes.
Mrs. Polly Smith expressed her concern over the possible loss of water
pressure in an area already with inadequate water pressure. Mr. Smith
stated the problem is due to a narrow pipeline and the fact there is
no water tank at the top of the hill so water must be pumped uphill. Mrs.
Smith stated the four lots not to be built upon should be lots above the
200' level.
Town Engineer Bala sta~ed any subdivision is required to provide proper
water supply by MMWD, and the Town has to have assurance in writing prior
to approving the final map.
Ms. Susan Haylor, representing the owners of 30 Bond Lane, expressed
the concern of water pressure.
Mr. Malone stated currently the noise from Taylor Road is disturbing
and the proposed intersection would be quite close to his house and this
would decrease the value of his property and be a nuisance to his family.
Mrs. Smith stated she supports leaving Taylor Road as it is.
~f"\r.TI\T r' (,)TTl\Jr' T T I\Jf Tl\TTTmlO' C" JL c: II n
Councilman Hanson expressed his concern that during the Master Plan
hearings neighbors were concerned with the traffic and requested
Taylor Road be improved, now the opposite is being asked.
Councilman Edelstein noted thatthe letter from MMWD states the improvements
the applicant will be required to make will restore pressure to the same
level as it was before the project was built, and suggested a cooperative
solution be sought to help improve the pressure. Councilman Rockey
suggested the possibility of an assessment district. Polly Smith
stated she does not feel the neighborhood would be willing to
participate in an assessment district. Town Engineer Bala stated
if additional pressure is provided the pipes in the area would blow.

Council requested that an additional condition be added stating all
retaining wal~shall be pour~textured, colored concrete, and that
condition #10 be clarified to identify the Paradise Drive/Trestle
Glen interesection as the area to be improved by the applicant.
This item was continued to the next regular meeting so the above concerns
could be addressed.
14. AMENDMENT TO MASTER & PRECISE PLAN (Living Foods, 80 Main Street,
Resolution)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated the applicant is
requesting a modification to his Master & Precise Plan to allow for
a pass through window and one table outside and to serve sandwiches,
salads and juices. The Planning Commission has reviewed this application
and recommends approval by the Town Council.

15. AMEND, PRECISE PLAN & FINAL SUBDIVISION MAP (Avenida Miraflores,
Unit II, Lots 10 & 22, Resolutions)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated the applicant is
requpsting a variance to the maximum height of the building envelope
to aJd an additional five feet. The requested elevation would be
335' which is equal to the maximum roof ridge height permitted on the
aQj~ent envelope. Director Hanna stated it is the applicant's
p6sition that because of soils conditions it is impossible to
keep: 'wi thin the lower envelope. Councilman Edelstein stated it
would be difficult to review this application without more information
in terms of building design.
Mr. Ramon Zambrano, representing the applicann, stated the present
building envelope is in a rather steep upslope location and he has
had several problems trying to get up to the garage which results in
retaining walls in excess of 12'. In addition there is a landslide
area on the lot that limits the depth the house can be lowered. The
adjacent lot envelope follows the same contour as being proposed.
Mr. Zambrano stated the building is not large, approximately 3,000
sq.ft., and the garage would still end up being pushed into the
hill.

From Town)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the easement the Sanitary District
is requesting from the Town to expand the plant and bring it up to
Federal requirement. Town Manager Kleinert noted the District is
also requesting temporary access on the hillside adjacent to the plant
to repair landslide areas. The property the District is requesting
is presently owned by Southern Pacific, which is to be dedicated to
the Town as open space. Town Manager Kleinert stated the two agencies
have worked together in the past and that he does not feel the 40'
easement will impact the Town. The District is willing to work with
the Town to provide reclaimed water for irrigation when their water
quality is up to standards.
Mr. Naber, Plant Manager, stated the plant will be totally enclosed
and odor and noise should be eliminated.
Town Engineer Bala pointed out the~parking, as proposed! is mainly on
a Town street and could not be reserved for District employees.
Councilman Edelstein suggested extending the easement to the left to
create off street parking.
Council questioned District representatives as to what their position
uould be if the Town did not grant the easement. Mr. Nabor stated
condemnation. Town Manager Kleinert stated any costs of condemnation
proceedings would be passed off in sewer fees. Councilman Hanson
Gu~gested the District work with Southern Pacific to insure there would
not have to be condemnation.
Councilman Bergsund requested a condition of granting the easement be
that the District will provide reclaimed irrigation water when
available.

to prepare mandated revisions)
Director of Community Development Hanna staEed that State law
required that the Town Housing Element be updated. A joint venture
with Mill Valley, Corte Madera,~Larkspur and Tiburon has been presented.
and Staff recommends that Lynn Sedway and Associates be retained to
do the Town's Housing Element revisions. Director Hanna stated if
the Council does not feel the joint approach is appropriate, John
Roberto has prepared a proposal for Tiburon and perhaps Belvedere
could be included.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #549

Mayor Bass stated his major concern with an outside consultant
preparing the Town's Housing Element is lack of understanding
of the unique character of the Town.
Councilman Hanson suggested this matter be remanded to the Lands
and Development Committee to work with Staff to pursue the Town's
own consultant and that Belvedere could be included if they pay
their proportionate share.

Resolution)
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the Precise Plan and
Tentative Map application for the creation of 11 lots off Taylor Road with
seven to be built upon now and four at a later date when an alternative
access route is provided. Director Hanna stated at the last meeting the
main concern discussed was the realignment of Taylor Road and the poor
water pressure in the area. The Town has received a letter from the North
Tiburon POA stating a poll was taken and of the 17 homeowners polled,
13 did not favor the realignment of Taylor Road. Director Hanna stated
a de-acceleration lane should be installed if the realignment is not
approved.
Councilman Rockey reported in a conversation with Mr. Ron Theisen of
the Marin Water District, Mr. Theisen stated MMWD looks at improvements
to their facilities as each development comes in, they do not deal with
water service on a long term basis. Mr. Theisen did state if a build out
plan of the area was submitted to the District, they could look at alternative
means of supplying better water service to this area. Councilman Rockey
3uggested the Town pursue a joint meeting with MMWD, Town Planning Staff,
Council representatives, Homeowners and any other interested parties
to review the alternative plans that could be developed to improve water
service in the Taylor Road area. Mr. Theisen also stated enlarging the
pipes as required by MMWD will not improve the already poor water pressure
in the Taylor Road area and that homes in the Cibrian development above
200' will have to sign substandard water pressure agreements.

Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Town Engineer Bala stated. in a recently received letter from the
General Manager of MMWD hestates{that homes with insufficient
water pressure should have individual electric pumps installed. It should
be understood that what~y~t is proposed does not provide fire protection.
Fire protection could not be provided until a tank is built above Taylor
Road.
Mr. Abbass Bazgar, applicant, expressed his concern over the amount
of time this project has been in the planning stages and urged the Council
to approve the Precise Plan and Tentative Map.
Mrs. Polly Smith stated her concerns over the water pressure and
stated that MMWD does have a capital improvement program and that more
pressure should be put on them to improve the water service in this area.
Councilman Edelstein addressed the concern of fire protection. Mr.
David Coleman, architect, stated in a letter from Captain Dan Barber the
developer will be required to provide a minimum of three fire hydrants
on an 8" fire main, structures 6 through 10 shall be required to
have installed automatic fire sprinklers and all structures shall have
fire resistant roofs. Councilman Edelstein questioned the effectivness
of automatic fire spinklers if water pressure is poor to begin with
and did not feel electric pumps would resolve the matter of fire protection.
Mr. Molone stated he prefers leaving Taylor Road in its present
configuration with the concrete overlay as suggested by the Town Engineer.
Councilman Edelstein questioned the Town Engineer if it could be
possible to steepen Taylor Road on the upper portion to provide a gentler
slope at the intersection. Town Engineer Bala stated he would not
recommend steepening Taylor Road as in his opinion the flattest you could
get Taylor Road at the intersection would be 8%, which is steeper than
Waldo Grade.
Mr. Werheimer stated another consideration would be placing a stop
sign at the Taylor Road/Paradise intersection to slow traffic in this
area.
Being no further response, Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Council discussed conditioning the precise plan to require that the
seven lots to be built upon not be above, the 200' elevation because of the
water pressure and fire protection problems. Mr. Bazgar objected to this
proposed condition stating at the Master Plan four lots were not to be
built upon because of the traffic impacts, and that he may merge some of
the lots together.
Councilman Edelstein suggested the precise plan and tentative map
approval be considered separately in light of the fire and water problems.
Council concurred.
MOTION: approve the resolution approving the Precise Plan
subject to the following amendments:
1. That the alignment of Taylor Road not be changed
and that Taylor Road be covered with non-skid concrete as
approved by the Town Engineer. Other improvements to
the intersection shall be made as required by the Town
Engineer.
2. The problems with regard to fire protection and water
pressure be resolved prior to approval of the tentative
map. Cooperative meetings with the Water District and
other concerned parties should be initiated.
3. The four lots which will not be developed will be
designated at the time of Tentative Map review. If
the fire and .water concerns are not resolved the Town
Council will seriously review the homes above the 200'
elevation.

3. MAR WEST TRAFFIC CIRCULATION MODIFICATIONS (Consider Planning
Commissions Recommendation of vacating Street)
Town Manager Kleinert reported the issue of cul-de-sacing Mar
West Street in the vicinity of the Tiburon peninsula Club (TPC) arose
during the Southern Pacific master plan hearings. The TPC indicated its
support and desire to assist the Town in the Marsh Restoration program,
which a portion of the marsh is on TPC property, and in return asked
the Town to investigate cul-de-sacing Mar West Street. The TPC would
enter into an exchange agreement for the Mar West Street property for
the cul-de-sacing, and if the cul-de-sacing is deemed to be not feasible,
TPC would deed the property for a specified purchase price. The Town
Attorney has ordered a title report and the issue of reversion of
title has been investigated. Town Manager Kleinert stated the Town
Engineer's preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of cul-de-sacing
Mar West Street indicated the advantages out weight the negative impacts.
The Town Engineer indicates three steps must be done to implement the
cul-de-sacing 1) the Beach Road extension must be completed, 2) through
passage for emergency vehicles must be provided, and 3) a bicycle and
pedestrian path through the SP project.
The Planning Commission has recommended to the Town Council
that no action be taken at this time until further traffic counts are
available after the extension of Beach Road is completed.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. Philip Woodward, president of the Tiburon Peninsula Club,
spoke in favor of the cul-de-sacing stating it would eliminate speeding,
accidents, and increase pedestrian safety. Mr. Woodward stated the
Club's major concern is that of children crossing Mar West Street to
gain access to the tennis courts and Judge Field.
Mr. Alvin Kuhn, resident and TPC member, spoke in favor of the
cul-de-sacing and reported that all TPC members have been advised of
the proposed cul-de-sacing.
Mr. Gus Strotz spoke in favor of the cul-de-sacing stating it
would improve traffic flow, and presented his conception of the revised
circulation for residents in the effected area.
Mr. Ken Bankston, traffic engineer, stated with the connection
of Beach Road to Mar West Stree~traffic on Mar West would be less or
the same after the SP project is completed. Mr. Bankston stated of
22 roads surveyed in Tiburon, excluding Tiburon Blvd., Mar West Street
has the second highest incidence of speeding, and stated speeding
would be reduced if Mar West was cul-de-saced.
Mrs. Del Bond, Mr. Nat Marans and Mr. Stewart Hopkins all
spoke in opposition of the proposed cul-de-sacing. Mrs. Gene Marans
also spoke in opposition stating Mar West Street is one of the oldest
Streets in Tiburon and one of the few lateral roads. Mrs. Virginia
Peterson spoke in opposition of the cul-de-sacing.
Mrs. Ann Drew spoke in favor of the cul-de-sacing and stated
it would be a blessing to slow traffic on Mar West Street. Mrs. Barbara
Matthews spoke in favor of the cul-de-sacing and stated the cul-de-sacing
and marsh restoration is an extension of the total completion of the
SP project. Mrs. Matthews also stated the wildlife marsh would be
enhanced by the cul-de-sacing as there would be no traffic on the back
side. Mr. Jim Paras spoke in favor.of the cul-de-sacing.
Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
.'40TION:
refer this matter to the Lands and Development Committee
and that the Town's Evacuation and Disaster Plan be addressed,
an appropriate traffic count be prepared to compare with the
Beach Road connection including a traffic count at the
intersection of Mar West and Esperanza, and that access to

4. FINAL MAP (4545 Paradise Drive, pellegrinelli)
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Ms. Elaine Orfanos, applicant's attorey, stated the applicant has
three concerns relating to the final map approval. The applicant is
concerned with the 15' pedestrian easement across the south west
corner of his property, the matter of naming the street and the matter
of this development having to contribute to the Tiburon Boulevard
Traffic Improvement fund. Ms. Orfanos stated the pedestrian easement
is objectionable to the applicant becuase it is close to the existing
home on the property, there is presently a trail that follows the
property line, and the applicant is concerned with additional off-
road vehicle traffic. As the road serving this subdivision is a private
road the applicant does not feel the Heritage Commission should name
the street. Mr. Orfanos stated the Town does not have a policy for
naming privately owned streets. The applicant had originally intended
to name the street Gaia Drive and now would like to name it Pellegrinelli
Drive. Ms. Orfanos stated the applicant does not feel this subdivision
should be subject to contributing to the Tiburon Blvd. Traffic Improvement
Fund as it was not a condition of the Master Plan approval. Though
contributing to this fund was a condition of the Precise Plan , which
was approved in October 1980, the Ordinance establishing a traffic
improvrnent fund did not take effect until December 1980.
Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Council questioned formally approving the Tentative Map as it is not
referenced in the Precise Plan resolution as is normal procedure for
minor subdivisions. Mr. Edward Beattie, applicants engineer, stated
the Tentative Map and Precise Plan were approved at the same time.
Council discussed the applicant's concerns. Councilman Bergsund stated
that people would probably continue to use the existing pedestrian
trail along the south west corner and the inclusion of the 15' pedestrian
easement would probably not impact the existing home and felt the
easement should be included. Council felt since the road servicing
this subdivision will be privately owned the developer should be able
to name the street and recommended pellegrinelli Drive be used. After
discussion Council felt the applicant should be required to contribute
to the Tiburon Boulevard T~affic Improvement Fund.

5. AMENDMENT TO BUILDING ENVELOPE (Avendia Miraflores, Lot 15, Resolution)
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. George Tishner, 180 Avenida Miraflores, spoke in opposition to this
application which is located next to his home. Mr. Tishner stated the
applicant originally proposed a 4,500 sq. ft. home to the Board of
Adjustment~ which was denied becuase of bulk and massivness. The
applicant then returned with another proposal for a 6,500 sq. ft. home,
S4'-56' in width. In this revised proposal the applicant proposed to
~lace his garage on the upper level which would require at least an
8' to 9' retaining wall, which would be viewed from Mr. Tishner's
master bathroom. The applicant was not present.

6_ SOUTHERN MARIN SEWERAGE AGENCY PIPELINE (Approval of Grant of
Easement and Project Conditions)
Town Manager Kleinert reported that at a January 14, 1981, meeting
of SASM representatives and Town Officials, it was decided the Town
Attorney would prepare the Final Grant of Easement and Agreement documents
pertaining to the installation of the SASM pipeline through Tiburon.
This agreement is now before Council for consideration and approval.
Mr. Ed Nute, project engineer, reviewed the exhibits which are referenced
in the agreement. Mr. Nute stated the bike path will be disrupted for
approximately 5 - 6 months. Users of the bike path will be detoured
along the sholder of Tiburon Blvd. from the Belvedere Tennis Club
to San Rafael Avenue. "K" rails will be used to protect pedestrians
from automobile traffic. Mr. Nute stated Belvedere does not want
Lagoon Road recognized as a formal detour route.
Mr. Glen Calkins of Southern Pacific expressed SP's concern over the
portion of the pipeline going through the SP property. Mr. Nute
stated it has been recommended that the present contact be terminated
at the SP property, and the SP portion be contracted out separately to
coordinate with the SP project.
Council expressed their concern over the lack of coordination between
SASM and Southern Pacific.
Town Manager Kleinert recommended that Condition #5 of the agreement
be amended to read liThe rip-rap areas shown on Exhibit B along the
Bayside of the Multi-Use Path will be repaired as specified in the
Morgan Noble report and shall be amended by Morgan Noble and the Town
Engineer and shall be maintained thereafter by SASM to assure the long
term stability of the pipeline and shoreline. II
Mr. Kleinert also recommended an additional condition be added stating
"The Town will be reimbursed for all project inspection costs as
required by Town Ordinances".
Council asked that this item be continued to the next regular meeting
and that SASM work with Southern Pacific in the coordination of the
pipeline construction and that SASM present the Council in sufficient
time for review a timetable of the project, an alternative pedestrian
route map and a Southern Pacific land schematic drawing showing
route of pipeline and general elevations.
7. SANITARY DISTRICT #5 TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION (Request for Easement
from Town)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the request for an easement from
Sanitary District #5 for their treatment plant expansion. The Board
of Adjustments and Review has approved the design of the building.
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the parking plan submitted by Saniatary
#5.
Mr. Glen Calkins, Southern Pacific, stated SP's concern is that of
preserving the value of the land should the SP project fail to go forward.
The staging area is also of concern to Southern Pacific.
MOTION:
authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement in a fonn to the
satisfaction of the Town Attorney and the Town consents to
the transfer of property provided that it is of no cost to
Sanitary District No.5. It is understood that this agreement
does not in any way alter the density that has been granted
Southern Pacific. This agreement shall reference the parking
plan presented tonight and will include the District
providing reclaimed water for irrigation of Town owned

Council expressed their concerns over the alleged activies taking
place at 270 Roundhill Road. Town Manager Kleinert explained the
Town could abate the nuisance on the grounds that there are more
than one employees employed by the business, which is a violation of
the Tiburon zoning Ordinance.
Council directed the Town Attorney to take the steps to notice

Town t1anager Kleinert reviewed the Master Plan application for three
office buildings on two lots. Moana presently owns 1/2 acre and is
in the final process of purchasing 1 additional acre from Southern
Pacific. The Planning Commission's major concern was that of additional
siltation in the Belvedere Lagoon. The Final EIR shows that the
parking area will serve as a silting basin and would not impact the
Belvedere Lagoon. The applicant has agreed to maintain the riparian
vegetation on the site to maintain the present water flow on this
property.
Town Manager Kleinert stated the Ordinance approving the Moana Master
Plan should be amended under findings D, G, and H from Planning
Commission to Town Council. Finding F after Planning Commission "and
Town Council" should be inserted.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. Ron Nunn, architect, stated each building will be approximately
5,600 sq. ft., they will be condominium office buildings which will
allow the owner to sell each building individually, if desired,
and the preliminary CC&R's have been prepared for the buildings.
The buildings will be built on pilings approximately 18-24" off the
ground. 50 parking spaces will be provided and will be trellised
to Mar West Street. The applicant is working with CAL/TRANS to gain
permission to landscape past the property line. Council recommended
the applicant increase the compact car space ratio to 50% which would
allow for more area to be landscaped. Council questioned timing
conflicts with this project and the SASM pipeline, and suggested the
two work together.
Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Council requested that two additional conditions be added to the Ordinance
stating 1) The applicant shall satisfy all mitigation measures
identified in the Final EIR, and 2) The applicant shall reduce the
parking area by using a compact car space ratio of 50%. Council requested
that as much of the existing vegetation be maintained ,as possible.

9. SOUTHERN MARIN SEWERAGE AGENCY PIPELINE (Approval of Grant of
Easement and Project Conditions)
Mr. Robert Bradford, SASM General Manager, stated SASM will make
every effort to complete this project on time and SASM insures they
will work with the Town to provide scheduling that is mutually agreeable.
Mr. Bradford stated he met with Southern Pacific representatives
and SP's main concern is that of timing, and SAS~1 and SP agreed to the
d~tes SASM will be on their property.
Mr. Bradford stated in regard to closing the San Rafael Ave./Tiburon
Blvd. intersection, SASM is agreeable to do what the Town desires
on this matter. Mr. Bradford stated if the intersection is completely
closed it would take 1-2 days to complete the work. If half of the
intersection is closed it will take at least twice as long. Mr.
Bradford stated he spoke with Belvedere City Manager, Sandra Marker,
and she felt there would be no problem with closing the intersection.
Council discussed this matter at length and agreed that the intersection
be closed between the hours of 9AM and 4 PM to avoid detouring the
commute traffic.
Mr. Bradford reviewed the pedestrian detours during construction. SASM
will route pedestrian traffic along Tiburon Boulevard from the
Belvedere Tennis Club to San Rafael Avenue. "K" rails will be used
for protection. Mr. Bradford stated the area east of Pine Terrace
is the most difficult area to detour pedestrians. Council requested
that in this area steps of a temporary nature be installed over
the hump for use by pedestrians. Council requested signs be posted
stating the bike path will be closed and detours provided suitable
for pedestrians only.
Council requested the Town obtain a botanist to walk the path and
designate any valuable growth for relocation or saving. Council
recommended Phil Molten or Jean Banning be asked to examine the plant
life.
Mr. Bradford stated SASM is still debating on the amount of liquidated
damages that would be asses~ed on the contractor. The amount will be
between $250 - $500 per day, which will be collected by SASM and paid
to the Town.
Mr. Bradford stated as far as timing of the entire project in Tiburon,
it would be difficult to pinpoint as there are many factors that could
shorten or lengthen the project. SASM intends to complete the Tiburon
portion in September 1982, but the Southern Pacific portion will be
completed this year.
Council requested that pull boxes and valve boxes be placed as far
away as possible from the bike path.
Council made the following amendments to the agreement documents:
AGREEMENT
Paragraph 7, change season to "construction season"
13(c) change to read "In the event the City of Belvedere approves the
property west of the Tennis Courts as a storage area, the contractor
may have access to this storage area from Tiburon Boulevard.
19 - change to read "Construction work and equipment operation shall
be limited to the period between 7:30 AM and 7:30 PM, weekdays
only. The Town Manager may approve exceptions for good cause".
Add a condition stating "Trees will be trimmed subject to Town approval".
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
8(A) change to read "The Contractor will be allowed to close the San
Rafael Avenue intersection during the hours of 9 AM to 4 PM,
weekdays only, in order to facilitate rapid construction of the
pipeline c170ssing San Rafael Avenue".
11 - delete wording in parentheses.
Add a condition stating "SASM will cooperate with the Town to modify
the bike path for pedestrian use based upon experience".

configuration of this winding semi-rural road, including impaired
sight distances, blind residential driveways, as well as frequent
pedestrian crossings would induce increased accident rates if the

II. NOm,Ulli ESTATES SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION (Consideration of acceptance
of Roadway)
Town Manager Kleinert stated the concern over the annexation of
this property is that of accepting the street serving this property,
which is substandard. The Town Engineer opposes the Town accepting
this street. The Town Council supported the Town Enginer's recommendation
and expressed their concern of annexing property that is surrounded
by unincorporated property. Council suggested Town Staff and Officials
discuss the annexation with Warren Nelson of LAFCO and Supervisor
Aramburu.
I. TOWN COUNCIL, COMMISSION, COMMITTEE ORAL REPORTS
12. LANDS AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (Highlands Project)
Councilman Edelstein reported the Lands and Development Committee met
with Highland representatives and the discussion centered around how
to process this development. Highland representatives questioned if
there was any zone the Town would apply for the pre-zoning. The
closest zone was the RMP zone but it does not contain the right
wording, which would zone the property at three units per acre. It
appears the Town would have to modify the description of the RMP
zone to allow for up to three units per acre. The Lands and Development
Committee recommends that Staff come up with the modifications to the
existing RMP zone or prepare a new zoning district. Highland
representatives state the units would average 1,500 sq.ft. in size,
and are looking at 107 units on the~r 32 acres. Marge Macris, County
Planner, indicated the County would have to proceed by law with
the review of the application if she did not receive a letter from
the Town stating Tiburon is considering prezoninghearings. Council
directed Staff to prepare a letter to Marge Macris indicating the
Town's intent to prezone this property.
J. OTHER STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Bergsund reported there will be a meeting tomorrow
night with the Homeowners in the North Tiburon area to discuss water
pressure and the possibility of constructing a water tank. The
Cibrian owners are willing to do ~g in this regard providing
they would be able to build, on the other four lots if the water
pressure matter is resolved.

Tiburon. LAFCO requested a committment from the Town to prepare
such a study as part of the La Cresta hearings. Town Manager Kleinert
stated Staff's recommendation is that Council direct Staff to report
back with how the study would be prepared and a time table for completion.
This study would be prepared in-house. Council suggested that if the
CRIS model is used in this study that it be re-programmed.
Director of Community Development Hanna stated as this annexation

8. LA CRESTA ANNEXATION (Approval of La Cresta Property Annexation
to Tiburon, Resolution)
Town Manager Kleinert reported to complete the La Cresta annexation
to the Town of Tiburon the Town must adopt a resolution approving and
ordering a reorganization to annex the property to the Town of Tiburon.
Town Manager Kleinert stated the Town would only be annexing the
residential area and not the open space, as LAFCO felt it would be
better to leave the open space in the County until Ring Mountain
is fully planned. If after Ring Mountain is planned and this open
space area is determined best suited in Tiburon, th~ annexati,on fees
would be waived by LAFCO. Council expressed their concern over the
possibility of the open space property being re-master planned and
built upon if not annexed to the Town. Director of Community Development
Hanna stated one of the conditions of the master plan approval requires
that the open space area will be precluded from development.
Council requested this item be continued to the next regular meeting
and that Staff investigate that the condition of the Town's master plan
approval requires that the open space property remains open, and that
the Town be assured it will have a powerful say in how the open space
area will be managed.
Town Attorney Conn suggested that the open space property be deeded
to the Town so if the property eventually is ann~ to the County
or Corte Madera, Tiburon would h~ve control of the property.

F. PUBLIC HEARINGS
9. MASTER PLAN (Del Madera Properties, Middle Ridge Area - Gilmartin
Ordinance lst reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this is a master plan
application for 33 units on 50 acres of land. The Planning Commission
has held public hearings and recommends approval by the Town Council
with some modifications to the master plan. The major issues of the
Planning Commission hearings were l)exchange of Town open spacei and
2) the extension of Gilmartin Drive. The Planninq Commission is
of the opinion that the Del Madera project would 6e best served by
the extension of Gilmartin Drive, which would require an amendment
to the Town~s Circulation Element. The applicant would have to apply
for the amendment to the circulation element. If the amendment was
not approved, the applicant would then have to apply for an amendment
to the master plan, using an alternate access plan for the project.
Del Madera Associates then presented a slide show indicating the
proceedings leading up to the master plan now being presented.
Martha McCart reviewed the proposed land trade indicating the Town
would receive 22+ acres for approximately 7 acres of Town open
space.
Director Hanna stated the Planning Commission's resolution allows
a total of 31 units with the possibility of two additional units
if it can be proved the two additional lots ensures maximum preservation
of open space, minimizes visual impacts and provides adequate access
along the open space cooridors, etc.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mrs. Thelma McCune, Roundhill/Rollings Hills Road POAi Mr. Brady;
Mr. Samulson, Mt. Tiburon POA; all spoke in opposition of the
development being served in any way by Roundhill Road, stating
the road is already above capacity, unsafe for pedestrians becuase
there are no sidewalks, and the dangerous condition of the steep grade
on the upper portion of the road. Director Hanna expressed his
opinion that the community at large would benefit more from the
extension of Roundhill Road serving the upper portion of the Del
Madera projec~as it would leave the open space corridor open.
Being no further comments, Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Council discussed the extensions of Gilmartin Drive and Roundhill
Road to serve the project either entirely or partially, and
questioned why improvements to Roundhill Road, i.e. sidewalks,
were not explored during the neighborhood meetings. Council requested
Staff to gather information on the impacts to Roundhill Road and
Gilmartin Drive if they served the project and compare the impacts.
This comparison should be done on a peak hour basis. Council
questioned if the applicant planned on providing low/moderate income
housing. Director Hanna stated the applicant's position is that since
the Town does not have an ordinance covering low/moderate income
housing, they do not intend to provide any.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #555
MARCH 18, 1981

Council requested this item be continued to the April 1, 1981,
regular meeting to allow the Council and interested persons
to walk the property.
10. MASTER PLAN (Agins Property, Middle Ridge Area)
Director of Community Development Hanna reported this is a
master plan application to provide four building sites on five
acres adjacent to the Del Madera proposal. The Planning Commission
has reviewed the application and recommend denial by the Town Council.
The Planning Commission decision was based upon the proposed
building locations which they felt were inconsistent with the open
space element of the Town's General Plan and felt the ridgeline
should remain open. The Planning Commission at their first
meeting suggested the project be redesigned to open up the ridgeline.
The applicant responded with a slight redesign, but not satisfactory
to the Planning Commission. The Planning Coromission again recommended
modifications to the site plan but the applicant indicated it was
their belief that the site-plan was appropriate, so the Planning
Commission denied the application.
Martha McCart, representing the applicant, reviewed the master plan
application stating the lots have been placed as low on the ridge
as they can.: go without getting into steep terrain and losing the
commanding views. Ms. McCart stated the views get lost quickly if the
lots are moved even a little down the hill. Three of the lots
are .75 acres and the applicant's lot will be 1.5 acres, the
maximum elevation above grade will be 24'.
Councilman Edelstein requested that Council be presented with
a large scale cross section at right angels to the length of
the tennis court of the applicants lot. Council questioned Staff
is the Agins proposed home was moved down the contours and the
top level of the home remained at the same level as the single
story portion down behind the knoll, could the views be maintained
in a portion ofthe~home. Director Hanna stated he felt the view
could be preserved and it would not impact the ridgeline as
greatly. Council recommended that this item be continued to
the next regular meeting so the Council could walk the property
along with the Del Madera property.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. Stone Coxhead spoke on the application stating he felt it
was acceptable and should be approved by the Town Council.
Mr. Mike Masterson stated his objection is to the Agins proposed
home is that it appears it will become another hilltop compound.
Mr. Donald Agins, applicant, stated this application is only
requiring 18% coverage of his land and that he feels the project
is in continuity with the other properties in the area.
Being no further response, Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Council recommended that more explanitory drawings be submitted
to help in the consideration of this application. Mr. Keith
Schallis, architect, stated there are no architectural plans for
the other three lots as they will sold.
12. LA CRESTA ANNEXATION (Approval of La Cresta Property Annexation
to Tiburon, Resolution)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this item was
continued from the last regular meeting so staff could obtain
assurance from the applicant that the open space area that
was not to be annexed to the Town of Tiburon would be deeded
to the Town. Staff has received such assurance and now recommends
approval of the La Cresta annexation.
Mayor Bass recommended approving the LAFCO resolution in its present
form and also passing a separate resolution that states upon the
Town receiving from the developer a letter stating that in accordance
with the Master Plan approval the applicant will dedicate to the
Town of Tiburon that portion of the property which has previously

concern is deciding on a ratio of the value of the land to the
building.to use for future sale of the property. The Town Attorney
recowmends that at the time of sale the lot and home be appraised
for separate values. Council recommended that before the actual
delineation of the lots are set that some preliminary design
input be prepared by the Town.

13. URBAN SERVICES STUDY (Review and Comment on Preliminary Report
prepared by County of Marin, Resolution)
Council suggested that traffic and circulation should be part
of this urban services study and that the Planning Commission should
review this draft study and comment on it. Councilman Edelstein
stated there are several assumptions and inconsistencies in the
report pointing out:
Page 3, second sentence; Page 4, second paragraph, Ring Mountain
should be deleted from lOth sentence; questioned 229 units being
developed along Paradise Drive between Keil Cove and Seafirth;
suggested on page 7, 4th paragraph "Flows from the Trestle Glen
watershed will continue to be treated at the Richardson Bay Sanitary
Plan" should be deleted.
Council continued this item to the next regular meeting, and
asked that the Planning Commission review the report at their
March 25~ 1981 meeting.

2. MASTER PLAN (Del Madera Properties, Middle Ridge Area - Gilmartin
Drive, Ordinance 1st reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the master plan
application for 31, possibly 33 units, in the Middle Ridge area noting
Council's major concern at the last hearing was the access route to
the development.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #556
APRIL I, 1981
PAGE ONE
Director Hanna stated there are two feasible access routes to the
project, 1) extending Gilmartin Drive to serve the entire project, or
2) extending Gilmartin Drive to serve the lower portion and extending
Roundhi.ll Road to serve the upper portion. Director Hanna stated
if Roundhill Road was extended to serve the upper portion of the
Del Madera project and the additional undeveloped properties, 55
additional vehicular trips would generated at the peak hours on
Roundhill Road. This figure does not include the Haraman property,
100 acres, which could funnel onto Lyford Drive without traveling
on Roundhill Road. Director Hanna stated if Gilmartin serves the lower
portion of the project an additional 45 vehicular trips would be
generated at the peak hour. If Gilmartin was extended to serve the
entire Del Madera project, the Agins property, Sederquist property,
and the Pinsky property, 76 vehicular trips would be generated at
the peak hours.
Martha McCart, representing the applicant, displayed two overlays
to show the altnerate access routes, stating if Gilmartin is extended
only to serve the lower portion there would be approximately a 480'
corridor between the two open space areas. The second overlay
showed Gilmartin extended to serve the entire project. In this
alternative two homes along the open space corridor would be moved
to cluster "E", which would create a 350' corridor connecting the open
space areas. Ms. McCart stated the applicant prefers to have the
development served by the exension of Gilma~tin Drive as it would be
a shorter access route and would not separate the development.
Ms. McCart stated the only improvements to the Gilmartin Drive/
Tiburon Blvd. intersection are the ones required from the Von der
Werth and Chan & Tai development. Council suggested i~ be reviewed
if these improvements would be satisfactory to serve the Del Madera
project.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.
Mr. Tom Roberts, 184 Stewart Drive, spoke on the application stating
the strip between the upper and lower portion of the project should
be retained for open space, that the upper portion of the development
should be screened from the open space by foilage, and recommended
the Town pass an ordinance that would make it illegal for motorized
vehicles to use Town open space.
Mrs. Ellie Stevens asked what improvements could be made to Roundhill
Road if it was used to serve the upper portion of the Del Madera project.
Town Engineer Bala s~ated there are several stretches along Roundhill
Road where sidewalks could be installed. Councilman Edelstein requested
that a feasibility study be done on sidewalks on Roundhill Road.
Mrs. Bodian spoke on the application stating she is opposed to Roundhill
Road and Gilmartin Drive being connected. Council assured Mrs. Bodian
that connecting Gilmartin Dr. and Roundhill Road is not even being
considered.
Helen Sanford, Planning Commissioner, stated the two homes that are
moved to cluster "'E'I require easements on the School District property
and recommended there be no trade of property. Ms. McCart stated there
would be a covenant written into the CC&R's for those two lots stating
there could be no fence or planting on that portion of the lots.
Mrs~ Thelma McCune spoke against the extension of Roundhill Road stating
it is at capacity and there are safety problems presently on Roundhill Rd.
Being no further public response, Mayor Bass closed the public hearing.
Mayor Bass called for a recess at 9:35 PM and reconvened the meeting at
9:50 PM.
3ary Spratling, Planning Commission Chairman, stated the Commission
approved the extension of Gilmartin Drive, after much debate,
because of the concerns of the Roundhill Road residents. Chairman
Spratling stated that in the final analysis, the extension of Gilmartin,
which will bi.sect the open space, could be done is such a way as to
maintain the visual and physical charcteristics of the area.
Council requested that the percentage of traffic increase at the critical
points on Roundhill and Gilmartin be ascertained. Council recommended
that action on this item be continued to the next regular meeting to allow

further studies on the improvements that could be made to Roundhill
Road, improvements to the Gilmartin Drive-Tiburon Blvd. intersection,
and tl.'affic impacts on Gilma,rtin Dr. and Roundhill, Road.
Council directed Staff to contact Mr. May of the California Native Plants
Society regarding an inventory of plant life on the Del Madera property.
Councilman Rockey asked about moderate income housing. Ms. McCart stated
the applicant would be willing to handle the moderate income housing
in the same manner as La Cresta did. Council requested this be added
as a condition to the master plan ordinance. Council also requested
the applicant prepare a trail map which shows the connections of trails
in this project with the abutting trails.
Gary Spratling stated the Commission's feeling that cluster "E" should
be limited to 5 units with the possibility of 6, now the applicant
is showing 7 units in this cluster and suggested the Council carefully
review cluster "E".
This item was continued to the regular meeting of April 15, 1981.
Mayor Bass announced items 4 through 13 would be continued to an
adjourned meeting on Monday, April 6, 1981.
3. MASTER PLAN (Agins Property, Middle Ridge Area, Resolution)
Martha McCart, representing the applicants, displayed the cross
sections requested by the Council at the last meeting of the tennis
court on lot No, I, Ms. McCart stated the home and improvements
on lot #1 would not be very visible from Roundhill Road.
Gary Spratling, Planning Commission Chairman, stated the Commission was
concerned about the size and location of site #l as it is located on
the ridge top, and if approved, would be the first home on top of
the ridge. The commission was also concerned with lot #2 as it is
also on the ridge. The Commission felt the size of the Agins' home
on lot #1 makes the rest of the development look out of proportion.
The Commission was also concerned about. the density of four units
CD these five acres. Mr. Spratling stated the Commission recommended
changes to the master plan, but the applicant was not cooperative
in revising his plan. The Commission feels that four units would be
possible if the units were relocated on the property. The Commission
felt the amount of excavation and the steep driveways on sites 3 and 4
are unacceptable, and because of the combination of factors recommended
denial of the master plan.
MR. McCart stated the applicants would like two lots with City views.
They looked at moving lots 3 & 4, but they became very steep and
crowded. Council recommended the use of alterntative roof profiles
to reduce the impacts of this project on the ridgeline.
Mayor Bass opened the public heating.
Mr. Tom Robertson stated the Town should consider obtaining a pedestrian
easement across the back side of lots 2,3, and 4. Ms. McCart stated
she does not feel providing a trail easement would be objectionable to
the applicants. Council recommended the applicant work with the
Parks and Recreation Commission to obtain a suitable trail easement.
Mr. Stone Coxhead spoke on the application stating he feels it is
appropriate and should be approved by the Council.
MOTION: remand the application back to the Planning Commission
with the following recommendations and conditions:
1) the general location of the main house, as shown, be
mitigated by such means to re-create the existing ridge
feeling by such devices as berming, roof shapes, etc.
2) the number of the other units be left flexible with the
range of two to three, excluding the main lot, which shall
depend on the out come of a more detailed evaluation and
review
Moved: Edelstein, Seconded by Hanson
Council stated the detailed evaluation of the other 2-3 lots will
be pased upon a more detailed presentation by the applicant on how
the units could be position on the lots. Council urged the applicant
to work more cooperatively with the Planning Commission.

Facilities, Ordinance 1st reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna stated this master and precise
plan amendment application is to provide portable storage units

for storage units 8' high. The Planning Commission felt the main
storage should not exceed the height of the railing, but the
ticket booth was acceptable at 8'. Withtllls modification the Planning
Commission recommended approval upon the condition that the applicant
open up the passageway between Sabella's and the Ferry.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.

walkway while the ferry is running and then lock it during non-running
hours. Mr. McDonough expressed his concern over vandalism during
the night. Mr. McDonough stated he would put up a 4' gate at the end
of the pier similar to the construction of the fence.

5. PRIVATE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS (Vista Del Mar, Proposed Repairs by Adjacent
Residents and Dedication to Town)
'own Manager Kleinert reviewed the proposal by certain residents in
~ Tiburon to repair Vista Del Mar, a private road, and then dedicate
-oad to the Town. In this proposal the residents would pay up-front
the amount of repairs, and then 50% one year later.
"IL MINUTES #557
APRIL 6, 1981
PAGE ONE
Town Manager Kleinert stated these repairs will not change the drainage
patterns or characteristics of the road. The Town Engineer's esimtate
for these improvements is $6,476 based on Maggoria & Ghilloti's
estimate. The Town Engineer feels a lower estimate could be obtained.
Mr. Nat Marans stated the road is in need of repairs, but expressed
his concern over the road being raised 2~" which would cause water
to pool in his carport. Mr. Marans stated any imp~ovements to Vista
Del Mar should include protecting his carport from flooding. Mr. Marans
also stated he felt the full price for improvements should be collected
before the work commences.
Mr. Jim Green stated with the higher estimate price he would like to
consult with Mr. Meyer a resident on vista Del Mar and highway engineer.
Mr. Green stated all the neighbors are willing to participate.
Mr. Almo DeMartini spoke on the proposal stating he is very much in
favor of it and that three homes that are in the County will participate.
Councilman Rockey stated because of the cost of improving the street-
aEking for the full amount up-front could create a hardship on some
residents. If all the money is not received, the project could not
forward. If the second 50% one year later is not received, the street
will not be accepted by the Town and will continued to be a liability
to the owners.
Council discussed the fact that in order for the Town to accept the
road, the adjoining property owners must deed to the Town their portion
of the road right-of-way.
Mrs. Gene Marans stated the Town should review the long range liability
of taking over the street.
Council expressed their feeling that they would prefer the full amount
of repairs to be paid up front and would like assurance from the Town
Engineer that the drainage problems would not be magnified by the
road improvemnets. The Council aslo felt a second estimate should
be obtained. Mayor Bass suggested that the owners sign a hold harmless
agreement which would protect the Town if some of the' homeowners are
not happy with the outcome of the improvements. Council discussed
collection of the final paYment and how the Town could be assured
that payment will be made if the property is sold. Town Attorney
Conn stated the Town could place a lien on the property.
Moved:
Vot~:
the Town resolves that it will provide 100% of the money
based upon: an estimate to be received from the Town Engineer
and accepted by the property owners, the Town receiving
75% of the amount of the estimate, upon receiving
sign releases and hold harmless agreements, upon receipt
of a promise to pay and lien on each individual property
for the remaining 25% in one year. After the Town receives
100% paYment the Town will agree to receive the dedication
of the street. The responsibility for any quit claim
deeds and title reports will be undertaken by the individual
property owners.

6. NORMAN ESTATES SUBDIVISION (Consideration of Annexation to Town
and formation of Assessment District)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the annexation proposal of II
units to the Town of Tiburon. The owner is now requesting the
formation of an assessment district for certain improvements for
the project. Town Manager Kleinert stated at the last meeting
Council was concerned about accepting a street that does not meet
Town standards. Staff recommends acceptance of the annexation
and having the road remain private. The owner would put in the
CC&R'S that drainage and roadway maintenance are the responsibility
of the property owners. The County Planning Department will process
the subdivision through the final map and then the Town would do
the design review processing. The Council expressed their concern
over the County planning subdivisions and then having them annexed
to the Town. The Council requested that Staff insure that future
annexation projects be processed in the same manner as the La Cresta project
Council discussed the dedication of the roadway serving the project.
Town Attorney ConTI stated the road has to be offered for dedication
at the final map stage. Conn stated that the County will be approving
thi~ final map, and the 'T'own should indicate to the' County that they
reject the offer of dedication. Council requested the applicant
offer for dedication a pedestrian easement over themad serving
the project.

for dedication the roadway and a pedestrian easement over
the roadway, authorize Staff to form an assessment district

7. URBAN SERVICES STUDY (Planning Commission's Comments, Resolution)
Council questioned why this Urban Services study was being prepared,
and if it is being prepared to revise the Town's Sphere of Influence,
the County should be made aware that the Town opposes any change
to its present Sphere of Influence. Council questioned why traffic
circulation is not included in the study. Council stated their
concern that this study does not address which agency has'. the right to
plana development if the development is unincorporated and in the
Town~s Sphere of Influence. Council stated they Objected to the
statement that 68% of Tiburon is yet to be developed and the Town
is able to provide more moderate/low income housing than other cities.
Council also objected to the stat~ent that services to the eastern
side of the ridge could be provided by placing a road cut through
and over the ridge. Council requested Staff to indicate to the
County Planning Department that the Town is satisfied with the
current sphere of influence and that this study is an unnecessary
exercise.
8. TIBURON DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR HILLSIDE DWELLINGS (Review and Comment)
Council felt Councilman Edelstein's comments should be incorporated
into the guideline. Council also stated a disclaimer should be
placed in the front of the document, and Mr. Malott's name should
not be placed anywhere on the document. The Council indicated they
felt this document will help alleviate some of the problems that
arise at the Board meetings and should save the applicants money.

Director of Community Development Hanna informed the Council of the
background of the Appeal by the Applicant, Billie Jo Mouren, of
the Board of Adjustments and Review's decision regarding her property
located at 173 Avenida Miraflores. Ms.. Mouren advised the Council
of the modifications which had been made to date pursuant to the
Board's instructions. Ms. Mouren voiced her objections to the following
Board modification requests: (1) that the top floor be moved back;
this would impair the views from each room, as well as the solar
system's effect on the lower livingroom area, (2) deck landscaping/
permanent planter boxes, applicant will make every effort to maintain
these plants but cannot guarantee success; (3) flat roof - there are
other in development with flat roofs; (4) wood exterior (stained

she can proceed with her home.
Mr. Stone Coxhead, Board member, advised that he has gathered further
information since the Board's decision making meeting in March
(at which the applicant was not present to respond to the Board's
questions) and now concurs with Mr. Hanna's recommendation that it

8. MASTER PLAN (Del Madera Properties, Middle Ridge Area-Gilmartin
Drive, Ordinance 1st reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna explained that based on
development of the maximum number of units allowed (including Del
Madera and the adjacent vacant parcels), there would be a 52% increase
in traffic at Roundhill and a 42% increase with the minimum development.
At Gilmartin Drive there would be a 188% increase at maximum development
and a 158% increase at minimum.
Town Engineer Bala described three examples of constructing sidewalks
on Roundhill Road. He suggested straightening the curve in front
of #150, which would require rebuilding the driveway (pending
approval of the owner). He further suggested that a traffic island
be constructed at the intersection of Mt. Tiburon and Roundhill Rd.
Total cost, including the island, would be $150,000. Staff noted the
applicant has revised the Master Plan by letter stating Del Madera
offers to pay $55,000 per unit for five (5) units for moderate income
housing as an in-lieu fee rather than constructing moderate income
housing.
Martha McCart of Del Madera Properties explained the contour maps
showing three separate retaining walls at 3 to 4 feet each. She
explained that the master plan originally had three houses next to the
Flanagan property and that one had been removed at the request
of the Planning Commission. The remaining two houses are critical to
the project and can be constructed without obstructing the view.
Del Madera Properties proposes to clear a path going around houses
so that pedestrians would not have to walk on the road.
Mayor Bass opened the public hearing.

Mr. Bruce Moody, 88 Roundhill Road, commended the developer on its
plan but opposes approval of this project by the Council if it will
connect to Roundhill Road.
Mr. Warren McQuary, Tarra Hill Rd., expressed his concern about safety
with regard to pedestrians if there is a 30-40% increase in traffic
on Roundhill Road.
Mr. Robert King stated he approves of the plan if Gilmartin Road
is used for access to the project. He opposes the use of Roundhi11
Road in that there is present development going on and further
development will increase the traffic (i.e. refuse service, pool
service, guests, etc.) Sidewalks are a commendable idea but would
change the character of the area.
-Mr. Cha es Sofnas, 75 Roundhill Road, stated that the highest density
of traffic is during the commute hours and does not feel that
straightening the suggested curve will solve the problem.
Mr. Tom Cowley, addressed the problem of the construction traffic
that will be generated for the next 5 to 10 years.
Dr. Samilson, Pres. Mt. Tiburon Property Owner's Assoc., stated the
Association members are opposed to the extension of Roundhill Road
and the Board of Directors has decided to file an injunction to prevent
the extension.
Mr. Harold Parker, questioned why the Council will not recognize that
there seems to be a unanimous opposition to the extension of Roundhill
Road.
M~s. Thelma McCune stated the extension of Roundhill Road would ruin
the integrity of the neighborhood as it presently exists.

8. AMENDMENT TO MASTER & PRECISE PLAN (Cibrian Project, Paradise Drive
& Taylor Road, Ordinance lst reading)
Director Hanna reviewed the revised master and precise plan application
stating the Council had approved 11 lots with seven to be built upon
now and the other four when alternate access is provided. The applicant
is requesting Council to allow all eleven lots to be built upon.
This proposal is based upon the applicant providing a water tank on
Ring Mountain to improve the poor water pressure in the Taylor Road
area.

7. ~mIN STREET CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT (Review and Discussion
of Committee Recommendations)
Mr. Alvin Kuhn, Chairman of the Main Street Citizens Advisory
Committee, stated the Committee's recommendation to not close Main Street
for any event was based on the fact that no one appeared before the
Committee to advocate the closing of Main Street. In fact, the
-Committee which was composed of Tiburon residents and Downtown merchants
was in complete unanimity over the recommendation not to close Main Street.
The committee felt that any tour group over 100 participants should
be required to obtain a permit, which would simply alert the Police
Department that a crowd is coming, and the appropriate measures taken.
The Committee felt that 1,200 should be the maximum number of participants
allowed at anyone time. This figure was based on the Police Chief's
feeling that the Town could handle this amount with little difficulty.
The Council expressed their concern that a group of 100 obtain a permit
i.S to low, in view of the Harbor Carriers Thursday evening champagne
cours which come into Downtown with no problems. The Council recommended
increasing the number to 300-500.
Council questioned if an ordinance would need to be adopted to set up
the permit requirement. Council recommended Staff contact the Town
Attorney for his opinion. Council requested this report be drafted
into and adopted as Town policy.

8. TIBURON'S EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN (Citizen's Participation
In Local Disaster Preparedness Program)
Clark Danielson, Administrative Intern, stated the Tiburon Emergency
Plan and Marin Operation Disaster Plan provide for Town Staff and
supplemental group participation after a disaster, but does not
address the issue of citizen participation. Tiburon Resident
Mary Terrell has volunteered some of her time this summer to help
further educate the Tiburon community on diaster planning. Mr. Danielson
stated what he would like is the endorsement of the Town Council in
this effort. Mr. Danielson then introduced Mary Terrell.
Ms. Terrell explained that after a disaster the police and fire departments
will be very busy and will not have time to help citizens. What is
needed then is to educate; the Tiburon residents how to prepare for
a disaster to help themselves and neighbors. Ms. Terrell stated
she would like to go to the homeowner associations to try to get some
involvement from the citizens. After volunteers are obtained hopefully
some will be willing to take the Red Cross courses necessary to set
up shelters. After taking the courses, the cost of supplies ,for the
shelters are reimbursable.
Mary Terrell then showed a film highlighting how to prepare for during
and after an earthquake.
Mayor Hanson recommended someone from the Police Department and Fire
Department should be obtained for a committee. Councilman Bergsund
volunteered to serve, and it was suggested that David Hanson be

Town Manager Kleinert stated Staff's position regarding this request

materials. Staff feels that the State will be closely inspecting
the building and it is not necessary for the Town Inspector to also
inspect the work. The only work that should be inspected is work
~at will be the Town's, i.e. street.
Council concurred with Staff's recommendations.

days from the Board's decision.
Director of Community Development Hanna reported there is a piece of
CAL/TRANS property at the corner of Reed Ranch Road and Tiburon Blvd.
that will shorly be declared surplus. Mr. Michael Kanyon is interested
in obtaining this piece of property as he owns the smaller contiguous
pieces. This would allow him to build a residence, as he has no
access now. Councilman Bass suggested the Town obtain the property
and then negotiate with Mr. Kanyon.

D. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Mr. Michael Kanyon requested Council's consideration of his proposal
to purchase a portion of CAL/TRANS property at the corner of Reed Ranch
Road and Tiburon Boulevard to provide access to the ajoining parcels
he own~which are inaccessible at the present time. Mr. Kanyon asked
for preliminary approval that a home could be built. Mayor Hanson
recommended Mr. Kanyon proceed with the normal procedure to see if
a home could be built on this property. Town Manager Kleinert noted
this property is being de-certified by CAL/TRANS and with that procedure it
would not be offered to the Town as surplus property. Town Engineer
~ala stated he had discussed the matter with Mr. Kanyon and based on the
~nversation if there would be no left hand turn from the driveway onto
Reed Ranch Road a driveway could be installed and not be hazardous.
However, specific details of the proposal should be reviewed to confirm
that opinion. Council requested this item be agendized for the regular
Council meeting of June 17, 1981.

F. PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. ROCK HILL DRIVE/TIBURON BOULEVARD INTERSECTION TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed previous meeting discussions regarding
this matter, which pertained to poor sight distance and speeding in
this area of Tiburon Bouelvard. CAL/TRANS has performed stop light
warrant studies, and this intersection passed only one warrant.
CAL/TRANS requires that ~~ warrants be met before they consider
installing a stop light. ~L/TRANS has done a study for improvements to
the sight distances at this intersection, which they estimated to cost
0ver $200,000. This estimate is over their project allocation sum and there-
fore could not be funded by them. The Town Engineer has reviewed their
proposal and cut the cost to approximately $120,000, which will improve
both the vertical and horizontal sight distances. The Town has received
a $55,000 matching grant from the Urban Thoroughfare funding program for
these improvements. If the Town can come up with the remaining $65,000,
the next step would be to submit the plan to CAL/TRANS for approval. CAL/
TRANS has already given conceptual approval of the Town Engineer's plans.
Town Engineer Bala stated he has applied to CAL/TRANS for hazard elimination
funds for this intersection, but the application was denied because there
have not been enough accidents at this intersection.
Town Manager Kleinert then introduced Bob Crockett of CAL/TRANS. Mr. Crockett
explained that in terms of priority, Rock Hill Road intersection is very low.
Mr. Crockett stated three warrants must be met to have CAL/TRANS install
traffic signals. Even intersections that meet three warrants are not
being improved by CAL/TRANS because of funding limitations. Mr. Crockett
stated that the Town may pay for and install traffic signals if the
intersection meets one warrant, which Rock Hill does. Mr. Crockett stated
the last warrant study was done in November 1979.
Town Engineer Bala reviewed his plan to improve the sight distances, which
includes shaving the hillside to the right-of-way line and lowering the
curve vertically before the intersection. Mr. Bala stated these improve-
ments would be a treme~dous improvement over the present condition of
this intersection.
Mayor Hanson opened the public hearing.
Mr. Max Graffe stated he agrees there are sight distance problems at this
intersection, but speeding is also a major factor in the traffic and
pedestrian safety. Mr. Graffee expressed his concern over the hillside
being shaved away and bringing the traffic closer to his property. Town
Engineer Bala stated though the hillside would be shaved the traffic would
use the same lane alignment.
Mrs. Spengler stated her opinion that there would be no safety problems at
this intersection if people drove more carefully.
Mr. Tom Leverte stated he felt CAL/TRANS should do traffic counts at this
'tersection for at least seven consecutive days to get a true indication
_ the traffic and pedestrian flow. Mr. Crockett explained CAL/Tmu~S'
method of counting traffic, which is done on the 30th hour and is just
as effective as a tube count. Mayor Hanson I:X>inted out to Mr. Leverte that this type of
traffic oount had been done several times as part of the SP EIRs.
Mary Hobbs stated that she felt if a traffic light was placed at San
Rafael Avenue and Tiburon Bouelvard there would perhaps be enough break
in the traffic at Rock Hill Drive to help alleviate the safety problems.
Father Johnson, St. Hilary's Chuch,,: stated the problem is so bad on Sundays
that the Church several years ago offered to help pay for a police officer
~OWN COUNCIL MINUTES #562

to control traffic.
Council then discussed how funQing the remaining $65,000 for sight distance
improvements could be achieved. Council discussed Southern Pacific's
Master Plan condition of providing monies to improve Tiburon Boulevard,
of which $IOO,OOO was allocated for Rock Hill Road. Town Engineer Bala
stated as soon as he is advised to proceed with the working drawings
it will take approximately four months before the plan could be implemented.
Mayor Hanson closed the pulic hearing.
Council requested the Traffic Safety Committee to re-evaluate the matter of
the Church paying for an officer to control traffic on Sundays. Council
stated funding for the Town Engineer's recommended improvements to Rock
Hill Road intersection shall be discussed during the 1981-82 preliminary
budget hearings.
Mayor Hanson called for a recess at 9:30 PM and reconvened the meeting
at 9:37 PM.
3. MASTER PLAN (Agins Property, Middle Ridge Area, Gilmartin Drive,
Ordinance 1st reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the master plan applicati
for four lots on approximately 5 acres on the Tiburon middle ridge. Director
Hanna stated the Planning Commission recommended to the Town Counci~ after
first review of the application, that the master plan be disapproved.
The Commission felt lot #1 should be relocated on the property. The Town
Council then reviewed the application and determined that lot #1 was
acceptable. The Town Council then referred the matter back to the Planning
Commission and requested the applicants to work with the Commission to
determine if lots 2, 3, and 4 could be better located on the property.
The Planning Commission reviewed the application and recommended the
applicants delete lot #4 as it is visually prominent and requires extensive
grading and paving. The Commission recommended the applicants
revise the location of the remaining lots, lots 2 and 3, by moving
them countercloek wise on the property, thereby bringing lot #2
off the ridgeline. The Planning Commission felt three was the maximum
number of lots appropriate for this property. Two members of the
Commission did stated that if the appicants redesigned and relocated
the lots, four lots might be possible on the property. The Planning
Commission also considered the unique serpentine grasslands on the
property and felt these grasslands should be protected as much as
possible. The Zoning Ordinance and General Plan of the Town of Tiburon
recommens maximum retention of open space and mitigate grading and
excavation.
Martha
~ McCart, representing the applicants, stated this property should
be considered as part of the development of the whole area. Ms. McCart
stated the Commissions' suggestions for relocating the sites would place
three homes down on the ridge and one home upon the ridge and her
clients do not feel this was acceptable. One room on lot #2 would have a
view and the rest of the rooms would look down on the backside of the
ridge. Lot #3 could be bermed into the hill and stepped down. Ms. McCart
stated even with four large homes on this property there would still be
an adequate amount of open space between the homes. Council questioned
the proposed sizes of the homes. Ms. McCart stated site #l will be
approximately 7,200 sq.ft. and sites 2, 3 and 4 would be from 5,600 sq.ft.
to 6,600 sq. ft. Councilman Edelstein stated the driveway cuts look
significant in terms of retaining walls. Ms. McCart stated the driveways
could be done with 5' retaining walls and 12' banks. Ms. McCart stated
the size of the lots would be between 1.75 acres to .75 acres.
Council questioned what existing pathways go through the Agines property.
Ms. McCart stated the existing pathway goes behind lots 3 and 4, and
tated the applicants are willing to relocate the trail at their expense
.1 order to move it away from the homes. Councilman Edelstein sta ted
if two lots were created instead of three below the main house, and these
lots were more or less on the same contour, the driveway would
have more of a chance to transition and the cuts into the hill would
be relatively minor in comparison to what is being proposed.
Mayor Hanson opened the public hearing.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #562
JUNE 3, 1981
PAGE THREE
Mr. Stone Coxhead stated the minutes of April 1, 1981, were incorrect in
stating that he was in favor of the plans. Mr. Coxhead stated he feels
the Agines should have a view home of reasonable size and if designed
with great care so it does not intrude into the environment, it could be
feasible on this property and perhaps on the crest of the property.
Mr. coxhead stated that home on the crest of the ridge in excess of
7,000 sq.ft. is entirely unreasonable and recommended a home in the
area of 3,500 sq.ft. Mr. Coxhead stated he felt the square footage
of buildings should not total more than 15,000 sq. ft. Mr. Coxhead
stated he feels the staff's recommendations on this proposal are reasonable.
Ms. McCart stated the lowest density zoning district in the Town allows
15% lot coverage. Applying this to the Agines property would allow
30,000 sq.ft. of lot coverage, which is more than the applicant is
requesting. Ms. McCart voiced her objection of the tennis court, pool
and patio being included in the lot coverage, which in her opinion
has never been done in other applications.
Director Hanna stated that in the RPD zoning district there is no
requirement for lot coverage, so it is difficult to compare this application
with other zoning districts. The RPD zoning district requires the maximum
retention of natural features. It appears this application will have
alot of hard surfact area, whether or not it would be considered lot
coverage, and that the middle ridge is a very natural area. The applicants
proposal does not show maximum effort to retain and preserve natural
features and significant flora and falina. Regarding the condition
that CC&Rs retain the natural area, Director Hanna stated the ideal
solution would be to have no fences around the homes, as proposed by
Del Madera so there would be no distinction between what is natural
grassland, so no exotic species would be introduced and the serpentine
grassland would remain.
Councilman Bergsund stated that when the Council approved lot #1 it was
understood that it essentially destroys a major portion of the grass-
lands on the property, therefore, the Council is obligated to preserve
as much of the remaining grasslands as possible. Because of this she
supports the Planning Commissions recommendation that lot #2 be moved
from the ridge. Councilman Bergsund stated the Hacienda pedestrian
trail should be preserved as it is a very important part of the middle
ridge open space.
Mayor Hanson closed the public hearing.
Councilman Rockey questioned how much of the Agines property is covered
wi th serpentine grasslands. Directo:rr:!' Hanna stated most of the property
is serpentine grassland. Ms. McCArt stated all four sites are on
serpentine grasslands. Councilman Bass stated that with granting the
applicant's a lot on the crest of the ridge the Council must look more
restrictively at the rest of the area, and by eliminating one lot
which will reduce the cut and fill, Councilman Bass feels the Planning
Commissions recommendations are appropriate.
Councilman Edelstein again stated that if lots 2 and 3 were shifted, and
lot 4 eliminated, the driveways connecting the two lots would be level
and gentle than now proposed. Councilman Edelstein stated he does not
agree with the Planning Commissions' recommendations on mounding. *
Ms. McCart stated if berming is required it would be done with materials
excavated from the area. Ms. McCart stated the applicants have reviewed
the Del Madera Design Guidelines, agree with them in general and they
could be used for their property. *and sited the Miraflores project, particularily lot
#9 as an exanple of the successful and natural a-pearing use of earth benns.
Council requested the Town Attorney to review the ordinance and make
any appropriate changes. Councilman Edelstein requested that on Page 3,
paragraph (H) the words "and trails" be added to the first sentence.
Council discussed the facttlBt they have limited the size of the dwellings
~ other master plans to insure the preservation of natural features
.ld compatability with the site and recommended the floor areas for lot #1
be approximately 7,000 sq.ft. and for lots 2 and 3 approxim3tely 3,500 sq.ft.
excluding garages.
MOTION: that the Town Council give general approval of the Master Plan
application as submitted, provided one unit is deleted namely
unit #4, that lots 2 and 3 be rotated counter clockwise, that
the ordinance as prepared include provisions and findings to
reflect the comments that the floor areas be limited to approx-
imately 7,000 sq.ft. for lot #l, and the other two lots

Director of Community Development Hanna noted that if Council holds
second reading of the ordinance on June 17, 1981, the precise plan
must be submitted by July 10, 1981, so it could be considered by the
Planning Commission on July 22, 1981, and then considered by the Town
Council on August 5, 1991. This would allow for one additional meeting
before the one year time limit expires on August 25, 1981.
G. BUSINESS
6. HARBOR LIGHT LIQUOR LICENSE (Consideration of Conditions for Transfer
of License)
Town Manager Kleinert stated after discussions with the Department
of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) it was determined that the Town could
submit conditions to be placed on the liquor license. ABC noted
however, they have the final decision as to what conditions, if any,
would be placed on the license. Town Manager Kleinert noted that since
the last meeting there have been several complaints in regard to noise
being generated from the Harbor Light establishment.
Council questioned why the owners of the establishment could not move
the band away from the front door, and discussed the possibility of
banning amplification entirely in the downtown area.
Mr. Unes Gollestani, co-owner of the Harbor Light, expressed his objection
to being singled out and having these conditions applied to their
establishment. Council assured Mr. Gollestani that these conditions
will be applied to such other liquor license applications or transfers.
Council expressed their concern over the noise problems on downtown Main
Street, and noted the Har~or Light and 39 Main as the major violators.

1. MASTER PLAN (Agins Property, Middle Ridge Area, Gilmartin Drive
Ordinance 1st reading)
Director of Community Development Hanna presented the Ordinance noting
that at the Town Council meeting of June 3, 1981, the Town Council had
considered a recommendation from the Planning Commission relating to
the conditions of approval that should be applied to any Master Plan
and the appropriateness of a total of 3 or 4 parcels on the property.
Director Hanna noted that in approval condition No.2, the date in the
fourth line should be changed to July 10. The July lOth date would
allow Planning Commission action by July 22, 1981, with the Town Council
action on August 5, 1981. Director Hanna also noted that in condition
No.3, the date inserted should be July 10, 1981~ at which time the
Tentative Subdivision Map should be submitted. A draft ordinance had
been prepared by the Planning staff, based on the Planning Commissions'
recommendat~ons that a maximum of three dwelling units be allowed.
The Town Council discussed the first condition of approval as it
related to precise plan square footage of the dwelling units to be
constructed on the property. It was the consensus of the Town Council
that rather than limit the square footage in the Master Plan, the review
of the Precise Plan would allow an adequate opportunity to ensure that the
size, bulk and massiveness of any single family dwelling proposed would
be consistent with the open space character of the area. The applicants'
representative, Marth McCart, noted that, based on the previous dis-
cussions of the Planning Commission and Town Council, it was apprent that
the size of the dwellings was of concern and the applicant would take it
into consideration during the Precise Plan preparation. The Town Council
agreed that condition No. 1 on the approval should be modified to reflect
that the size, bulk and square footage of the dwellings would be con-
sidered at the Precise Plan stage.
Council then discussed the wording of finding No. 23 on page 5 which
noted the economic feasibility of the project. Council questioned whether
it was appropriate to provide such a statement in the Master Plan and
requested that the Town Attorney be contacted to ensure the wording is
appropriate.
The applicants' representative, Martha McCart, noted that number 3 of
the findings stated that the area is not serviced by utilitie~sof any
type. Ms. McCart said that there is water service available and the
applicants have 3 water meters approved for the property. She suggested
the wording be modified to reflect the availability of 3 water meters and
water service. She then commented on Section 2, Approval, numbers
2 and 3, each of which do not provide an opportunity for a 90 day
extension under the A.B. 884 requirements. She noted it would be
unfortunate if the applicants were to proceed with the preparation of
~e Precise Plan but would find at the last minute that it was impossible
) submit it by the July 10, 1981 meeting. If the applicants and Council
were to agree, a 90-day extension is provided under the A.B. 884
requirements. Director Hanna noted that the last sentence allows the
paragraph to be modified by Resolution of the Town Council and that the
simplified procedure would allow the extension of time limits if
necessary. Councilman Bass felt it was important to allow an opportunity
for the 90 day extension if requested and, therefore, suggested that the
condition be changed to add words to the effect that if the Council and
applicants would agree to the 90-day extension, then the time limits could

2. 1981-82 PRELIMINARY TOWN BUDGET
Town Manager Kleinert noted that this was the initial public hearing
to consider the p~oposed 1981-82 Town Budget and the next budget
hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 22, 1981, and the final budget
hearing is scheduled for the regular Town Council meeting of July
I, 1981. The Town Manager then proceeded with an overview and summary
of the proposed budget.
The Deputy Town Treasurer reviewed the revenue projections for the current
fiscal year and for 1981~82, and discussed the other budget summaries.
Primary emphasis was placed upon the proposed revenue sharing program,
the Town's initial equipment depreciation schedule and the Building
and Planning and Police Department expediture schedules.
The Town Council questioned certain revenue categories relating to the
transient occupancy tax, real property transfer tax, vehicle code fines,
parking fines, ABC fees, and the property development tax. The Town
Manager noted that property tax was projected to exceed the budget
extimate for 1980-81 by approximately $29,000. Staff also noted that
many of the revenue categories could not be adjusted without
a 2/3 majority vote of the people due to constraints of Proposition 13.
It was noted that the overall revenue prujections includes a loss of
approximately $96,000 based upon the current state budget proposal.
Mayor Hanson requested Staff to proceed with the review of the
Departmental budget sections.
Community Development (210)
Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch highlighted the proposed Community
Development budget for 1981-82. Council questioned Staff's involvement
and cost related to the forthcoming SASM pipeline installation, the
sufficiency and applicability of the auto allowance, whether SP fees
are included in the budget estimates, whether the Town's planning fees
and service charges need review and adjustment.
Police Department (310)
Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch briefly reviewed the Police Department
budget proposal. Chief Bailey commented on his Departmental budget
requested and on that being recommended by the Town Manager. Those line
items relating to contractual services, POST, overtime expenditures,
compensatory time, and the current shortage of personnel and future
recruitment were reviewed as well.
Revenue Sharing
Town Manager Kleinert and Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch reviewed the
proposed revenue sharing program. Council questioned the use of
'4,000 for Town Hall improvements. Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch
xplained that those funds would be used for installing additional parking
spaces, grading, and installing an outdoor table and bench area.

Mayor Hanson adjourned the meeting at 10:50 PM, Wedneday, June 10, 1981,

5. MAR WEST STREET TRAFFIC CIRCULATION MODIFICATIONS (Consideration of
Vacation of Public Street, Vicinity of TPC)
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed the background of the proposal to cul-de-sac
Mar West Street in the vicinity of the Tiburon peninsula Club (TPC). Manager
Kleinert reported in January 1981 the matter was referred to the Planning
Commission, and the Commissions' recommendation is that no action be taken
on this proposal until such time as the Beach Road extension has been
completed and appropriate traffic counts prepared. Manager Kleinert noted
the Council's Lands and Development Committee has met several times with
representatives of the TPC regarding the negative and positive impacts
of vacating Mar West Street. The positive impacts being: improved
pedestrian and traffic safety in the vicinity of the TPC, development
of a pedestrian/nature trail from the downtown marsh area through TPC
property to the Tiburon Ridge, limited public use of the lower TPC property
(Judge Field) for Town sponsored events, stock piling of marsh spoils during
the marsh restoration, and landscaping of the marsh area after its restoration.
Town Manager Kleinert stated the matter of reversion of title of the under-
lying property to be vacated has not yet been resolved. The TPC was to
order a title report, and to date the Town has not received the title report.
Manager Kleinert noted the Town Engineer questions the Fire District's
~equirement of 60' diameter cul-de-sacs, and would recommend the normal 50'
.ul-de-sacs.

Mr. David Ring, Hill Haven, stated he is in opposition of the cul-de-sacing
whether or not Beach Road is extended, and noted the upper parking lot is
to become a tennis court once the cul-de-sacs are installed.
;s. Ann Drew, Spanish Trial, spoke in favor of the cul-de-sacing stating
that motorists use the stretch of road between Tiburon Blvd. and the TPC
as a race track. Ms. Drew stated the cul-de-sacs would eliminate speeding,
and did not feel it an inconvenience to travel one block further on Tiburon
Blvd. for the safety of children and pedestrians.
Mr. Russ Heacox, Mar West, stated there is a safety problem on this portion
of Mar West and he would support cul;de-sacs if they were constructed in
such a manner to allow traffic to be routed through the TPC if necessary.
Mrs. Joann Ring stated that if there is a safety problem in this area, then
the TPC has done nothing to mitigate the problem, such as allowing children
to play only on the upper tennis courts so they would not have to cross Mar
West.
Mr. Dan Hunt, Mar West, recommended that instead of cul-de-sacing that a
pedestrian bridge or speed bumps be installed.
Frances Joyce, Manager of the TPC, stated during the summer months the
safety problem is magnified and strongly suppor~ the cul-de-sacing proposal.
. Gus Strotz, Centro East, stated the main opposition to the cul-de-sacing
~S that people would have to use Beach Road as access to Tiburon Blvd., and
did not understand this reason as Beach Road is shorter and less windy.
Mr. Strotz then presented a map displaying the traffic pat~rnwhen Beach
Road is extended and the cul-de-sacs installed.
Mr. Jim Paras, Board of Director TPC, stated the upper parking lot of the
TPC would be eliminated after cul-de-sacing as suggested by the Town Engineer.
Mr. Paras stated the Town Engineer felt people should be discouraged to use
the upper parking lot as the remaining houses on the upper portion of Mar West

Mr. Robert Fonarow, Mar West, stated he is in favor of cul-de-sacing after
Beach Road is extended.
Mr. David Hanson, speaking on behalf of the Hill Haven POA, stated at the
last association meeting there was a unanimous vote not to have Mar West
cul-de-saced and asked that the Council consider the impacts to the Hill
Haven residents if Mar West is cul-de-saced.
Chuck Koehler and Sherril Brooks stated consideration of cul-de-sacing
should be postponed until the full impacts of the Beach Road extension are
available.
Mr. Stewart Hopkins spoke against the cul-de-sacing proposal even if
and when Beach Road is extended.
everly Marcus, Mar West, stated she agrees with both sides of this issue,
0ut feels another horizontal road should be opened before Mar West is
culd-de-saced.
Mr. Alvin Kuhn, Tara Hill Road, stated when he was on the planning commission
during 1971-72, the master planning of the downtown area included cul-de-
sacing Mar West to join the TPC properties together. Mr. Kuhn stated
the main issue is the master planning of the entire area which is a
very low density recreational area. Cul-de-sacing Mar West would be
a contribution to the general master planning of the area.
Robert Marcus, recommended putting stop signs on both sides of the cross
walk by the TPC to improve pedestrian safety.
Bill Davoren, Planning Commissioner, stated any action on the cul-de-sacing
should be delayed, but stated it is important to continue with the marsh
restoration as it will serve as a flood control. Mr. Davoren recommended
the Town Council request the Planning Commission to report back to the
Council on the issues of flood control, marsh management, and the effect
the marsh restoration would have on the TPC property, Zelinsky property,
and surrounding homeowners.
_ Aayor Hanson stated that if Mar West is not cul-de-saced and the required
marsh property not deed to the Town for restoration, there is an agreement
that the Town would purchase the property from the TPC for $45,000. The
$45,000 to be paid by Southern Pacific.

such impacts.

6. APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION (Use Permit, Tiburon Baptist
Church, Greenwood Beach Road)
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the background information
related to the conditional use permit issued to the Southern Marin Day
School by the Planning Commission. The use allows Southern Marin Day
School to operate a preschool for 44 children at the Tiburon Baptist
Church on Greenwood Beach Road. Director Hanna stated the Planning
Commission granted the use permit based on the following conditions:
I) that hours the children are allowed to use the play yard shall be
limited to between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM, to reduce the noise impact on
surrounding homeowners, and 2) the use permit be valid for one year only,
after which it be reviewed for renewal. Director Hanna stated during the
lanning Commission hearings the issue of additional traffic being
generated from the school was discussed along with increased noise being
generated by the children. The Planning Commission determined that the
traffic impacts would be minimal as patrons would be arriving at
different hours during the day.
Mr. Forrest Morphew, President of the Greenwood Beach POA, stated the
homeowners are opposed to the use of the Church as a school as they feel
that placing a school in a quret residential neighborhood is not appropriate.
Mr. Morphew stated the transportation of 44 children daily will aggrevate
and already serious traffic problem, and the abutting properties will
have their privacy invaded as the facilities overlook several homes.
Mr. Morphew urged the Council to deny the use permit for the Southern Marin
Day School.
Mayor Hanson opened the public hearing.
Roger Levy, spoke in favor of the application, stating the concerns of the
neighbors are noise, traffic, and location of the school. The noise
problem has been settled by restricting the use of the play yard and
requiring the school to install a fence and screen it with appropriate
"egetation. In regard to the traffic problem, the directors of the school
are going to have the parents use only one entrance way to the school
for entering and exiting.
Council determined that any conditions applied to the use permit would
be applied to the Church.
Mr. Harry Heath, 440 Greenwood Beach Road, spoke in opposition of the
preschool.
Mrs. Grace Richardson, 418 Greenwood Beach Road, stated her concern is
traffic and noise and urged the Council to deny the use permit.
Mr. Richardson stated this is a major change in the use of the Church
which will increase noise and; traffic. Mr. Richardson stated he is also
concerned as the Church has indicated this is the first step in an expansion
program.
Ms. Jane Stickney, Redhill Circle, spoke in favor of the preschool stating
it would serve the community with an educational preschool" not a nursery
~~hool.
Mr. Tom Prevost, stated the Church would like to expand its services, and
one area is the advancement of education. Mr. Prevost stated the Church
does not plan to enlarge physically in the near future, only in the
area of providing community services.
Melinda Kanter, director of Southern Marin Day School, stated the children
arrive and stay at various times during the day. Ms. Kanter stated this
is a structured school and the children would be outside for a total of

JUNE 17, 1981

approximately 1-1/2 hours a day.
~r. Cupples stated he is concerned that his property will depreciate in
alue because of the close proximity of a school to his property.
Mr. Stone Coxhead, Reed Ranch Rd., suggested Southern Marin Day Schoel
look into using the Reedland Woods School site for its preschool.
Melinda Kanter stated they have looked into that possibility and it was
not possible.
Melinda Kanter explained that the maximum number of children allowed at
the school at anyone time is 44. Council noted the State does
periodic, unannounced checks to determine if the school is complying
to its enrollment restriction. Ms. Kanter noted the average stay at the
school during the day is 3-4 hours.
Mayor Hanson closed the public hearing.
Councilman Edelstein stated the primary consideration in this matter is
noise, and recommended the following motion:
MOTION: that the Planning Commissions' recommendations be adopted and
two additional conditions be placed on the use permit:
1) in order to mitigate noise disturbance from the play area
and class room(s) under this use permit upon neighboring residences,
the applicant or property owner shall employ a qualified
acoustical engineer to submit recommendations with respect to
the siting of the play area, acoustic barriers or deflectors such
as earth berms or solid walls and other methods as will
effectively reduce the noise disturbance. Landscaping and
thin fences alone will not be considered as effective noise
mitigation. Methods complying with these recommendations,
together with all other aspects of design, construction and
landscaping relative to this use permit, shall be submitted to
the Town's Board of Adjustment and Review for review and
approval in accordance with Town Ordinances.
2) in order to mitigate potential negative effects of increased
vehicular traffic, the property owner shall allow the Town,
should the Town so decide at a later date, to utilize minor
portions of the Church property at or near the easterly
terminus of the Church's driveway where it intersects Greenwood
Beach Road for the purpose of traffic turnarounds. Such shall
not impair the Church's existing vehicular access points to
Greenwood Beach Road, in both directions, and thereby to Tiburon
Blvd. at the easterly and westerly end .of Greenwood Beach Road.
In the event the Town decides to implement this mitigation, the
property owner shall permit the through passage of emergency
vehicles, commuter buses, and the like, subject to appropriate
and reasonable conditions acceptable to the Town.
Moved: Edelstein, Seconded by Bergsund
Council expressed their concern over the last condition of Councilman
Edelstein's motion, stating the possible cul-de-sacing of Greenwood Beach
Road should be the subject of a separate agendized hearing. Also that
the condition will be applied to the Church and should the Church not
agree to it the school would lose its use permit. Council suggested the
traffic matter could be satisfied by having the operators of the school
request the patrons to use one end of Greenwood Beach Road for entering
and exiting. Councilman Edelstein amended his motion by deleting the
second condition and adding in its place "Operators of the school, by
letter, shall encourage and support patrons to enter and exit from the
westerly end of Greenwood Beach Road". Council also requested that the
$200 appeal fee be refunded to the Greenwood Beach Homeowners.

application noting the applicant has secured the lot behind its property.
The applicant is proposing three office buildings which will be subdivided
and sold, allowing the new owners to own the property and building. CC&Rs
will be prepared covering landscaping, landscape maintenance, and building
design. The applicant at the request of the Planning Commission has
incorporated the marsh and stream area on the property. This allows
more landscapable area as mounding has been reduced. The applicant
is proposing to landscape on the CAL/TRANS right-of-way. The details
of the landscaping plan will be brought back to the B.A.R for
~pproval. Council questioned the proposed path on the property. Director
.anna stated the path will be considered when the final landscaping plans
are submitted. Councilman Bergsund stated the path would be appropriate
if it eventaully would extend to Lyford Drive.
Ron Nunn, representing the applicant, explained the two marshes shown on
the precise plan map are in existance. Fish & Game felt that both should
be maintained so existing wildlife would remain.
Mayor Hanson opened the public hearing. Being no response, Mayor Hanson
closed the public hearing.
Council requested the following be added to Note "B" of the precise plan
map "and tree pockets". Council also requested that the B.A.R. conditions

appropriate for this property. Mr. Kanyon stated he agrees with
the Director's recommendation, but wants assurance that the Town will

Council inquired as to why the police Department force needs increasing
when population of the Town is decreasing. Town Manager Kleinert
explained that population is not the only factor used to determine
police force size. Other factors such as the changing face of the
downtown area also entered into size consideration. Council also
inquired as to whether it's possible to charge merchants for their
fair-share of police protection if the downtown area seems to require
more and more police activity.
Town Council (110)
Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch reviewed the Town Council proposed
operating budget and noted that there were no material changes.
Town Attorney (130)
Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch reviewed the Town Attorney departmental
budget. Council inquired as to the amount of time the Town Attorney
spends at Council meetings and wondered if this time could not be
reduced by at least 50% so as to effect substantial cost savings in this
department.
Public Works (410)
Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch reviewed the Public Works budget program
and noted a substantial increase in the street lighting line item and
the department head's request for a dump truck chassis. Council then
inquired into the Town's capital replacement and restoration program,
noting that public works equipment is in dire need of replacement.
Council then inquired into the status of the McKegney Green landscape

Town Manager Kleinert and Deputy Town Treasurer Nadritch noted that these
funds can be expended for street development, improvements, maintenance,
and limited engineering. It could even be used to off-set salary costs
