IX. STAFF REPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND' TOWN MANAGER ITEMS
Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon Property Owners' Association
A. Letter from ~~~1Y~~ to Town Council, dtd 7/8/79
Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the letter above
and summarized the four pertinent requests. He noted that in order to pursue
an adequate abatement program of illegal units, other projects underway will
have to be dropped or additional personnel will be required. He agreed that
all officially abated illegal units should be recorded in the County Recorder's
office. He noted that maximum penalties for the violation is established by
State law, as previously reported by the Deputy Town Attorney. He reported
that posting a notice on property that has applied for a building permit
presents many problems for Staff in terms of time, checking and re-checking
that the notices haven't been removed or blown away. Presently property
owners*in a 300 foot radius of the proposed building site are noticed by post
cards and his opinion is that this is sufficient to alert future property
owners. Councilman Hanson said he was supportive of the idea of a sub-
stantial penalty being imposed for the second violation of an abated illegal
unit. Deputy Town Attorney Ragghianti said that the maximum penalty under
the law is $500 or six months in jail. Answering a question from CounciLman
Bass, Deputy Town Attorney Ragghianti gave a detailed account of the proce-
dure for abating an illegal second unit. Councilman Rockey asked if we have
received many complaints regarding illegal second unit~. Director of Commun-
ity Development Hanna said he thought there had been only one in the past
five or six months. There was a discussion about the possibility of hiring
a CETA employee to act as the "code enforcer". Resident Elmo DeMartini
discussed the procedure used on the City and County of San Francisco for
abating illegal second units and asked if the Town of Tiburon could adopt
such a procedure, as outlined in AB475. This item was continued 'for further
discussion. *and Home Owners' Associations representatives.

began the discussion by commenting that this seemed like a small

problem in the beginning but it was an example of how a problem
can mushroom out of proportion. Councilman Edelstein said that
the small building on the corner of Tiburon Blvd. and Mar West
that is in question was not included in the original Zelinsky Master
Plan and he remained firm in his belief that it should be removed
as a condition of the amended Master Plan which would allow for
the Tiburon Lodge expansion. Mr. Zelinsky, owner of the Tiburon
Lodge, said there were many pros and cons regarding the building
but asked that it not be considered as a condition of approval
of the Lodge expansion. Councilman Hanson asked Mr. Zelinsky what
guarantee the Town would have that the building would be removed
in one year if that was agreed to tonight. Deputy Town Attorney
Ragghianti said that a bond could be posted on the condition of
issuance of a building permit which would protect the Town. Council-
man Rockey said that he was somewhat sympathetic with the one year
extension being given to the real estate building but would prefer
that it be removed immediately. Mr. Zelinsky agreed to remove
the building immediately. Mayor Bergsund closed the public hearing.

Town Manager Kleinert reported that the Town had received a
request from residents of the Old Tiburon/Lyford's Cove area
that the Town undergdound the utilities~along Paradise Drive.
He explained the Rule 20A Utility Undergrounding Fund and reported
that this area would qualify if money became available. However,
other areas, namely Tiburon Blvd. near Blackie's Pasture, would
also have a high priority for undergrounding. Both Bob Elsberg
and Ed Hibler from the Old Tiburon area were present. Councilman
Edelstein asked if the Town can condition approval of the Southern
Pacific downtown plan on them undergrounding the utilities along
the portion of Paradise Drive that fronts their property. Deputy

direct conflict with the County's stated goal of encouraging
people to use public transportation and he was opposed to any fee
charged for this service. It was agreed that Hanson and Town Manager
Kleinert would go to the Board meeting the following day and express
the Town's position.

the proposed development. Councilman Rockey suggested that interested
businessmen and residents focus carefully on the remaining number of
scheduled meetings and attend as many as possible.

VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS
5. APPEAL OF B.A.R. DECISION - 6 Owlswood Road
(A. Littman, appellant)
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing. Director, of Community
Development Hanna reviewed the proceedings thus far. Mr. Littman
noted that the design encompasses more than the Town requires in its
ordinance, that the height of the roof is within the limitations and
lowering it would destroy the design of the house, as well as hinder
the proposed solar heating. A neighbor living above the proposed home
asked for clarification of her view obstruction, if any. Councilman
Rockey said he didn't think lowering the roof would be a problem but
conversely it may not accomplish diminishing the massiveness of the
home; further, he thought the B.A.R. should have granted the application
as it appears to fall within the ordinance. Councilman Hanson agreed,
noting that lowering the roof would probably mean re-design of the house.
Councilman Edelstein thought the B.A.R. acted thoughtfully and responsibly
and lowering the roof would not be an undo hardship on the applicant.
Councilman Bass agreed but w0uld uphold the appeal. Mayor Bergsund
agreed.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:

Road, regarding the Board of Adjustments and Review
decision.

VIII. BUSINESS
At this time Mayor Bergsund called on a representative from the
Alameda Fence Company regarding the installation of guard rails on
Mar West. Galvanized steel rails were mistakenly installed instead
of the rust ones ordered. Mr. Pickrel asked the Council to accept
these as it would constitute a hardship for him to replace them.
Superintendent of Public Works Brunini agreed that the galvanized steel
guardrails are just as strong and this was acceptable to him. Town
Engineer Bala agreed also.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
that the Town Engineer negotiate with Alameda Fence
Company for the payment of the guardrails, and that the
fence company be responsible for painting the back side
of the guardrails the rust color as originally ordered.

8. SOUTHERN MARIN REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED POLICE SERVICES
(Comments by Chief of Police and Discussion of Mill Valley/
Tiburon pilot program)
Chief Bailey reported that he is continuing in discussions with
Mill Valley Chief Walsh regarding consolidation of dispatching services.
Councilman Rockey asked if it would be difficult to train the Mill Valley
dispatchers regarding the layout of Tiburon roads, etc. Chief Bailey
is encouraged that this project, while taking time and work to achieve,
is worthwhile trying. He did note, however, that unless there is a
real cost savings, it may not be feasible. Councilman Rockey expressed
encouragement by Chief Bailey's report and advocated we pursue this,
he would like to see this plan as a first step and wants criteria
established so that we can determine if it is successful or not. Council
agreed that it would be best to begin this pilot program after the
Police Department has moved into their new headquarters.
MOTION:
Moved:
Vote:
to begin steps to implement a consolidated dispatching
service with the Mill Valley police department and to
establish criteria for further determining the success of
this program.

MINUTES
TOWN COUNCIL
The regular meeting of the Tiburon Town Council was called to order
by Mayor Bergsund at 8:15 p.m., Wednesday, September 19, 1979, in
the Council Chambers, Room 9, Reed School, Tiburon, California.
PRESENT: COUNCILMEN:
EX OFFICIO:
Bergsund, Bass, Rockey, Hanson, Edelstein
Town Manager Kleinert, Director of
Community Development Hanna, Police
Chief Bailey, Town Engineer Bala,
Superintendent of Public Works Brunini,
Minute Clerk Kraft
Mayor Bergsund explained that the only agenda item for this meeting
was a review of the Planning Commission's suggestions regarding the
proposed Southern Pacific Downtown development plan, and that Council
would be making suggestions to Southern Pacific before submittal of
their final Master Plan. Director of Community Development Hanna
clarified that the Planning Commission's deliberations resulted in
recommendations for items Southern Pacific should consider for inclusion
in the Master Plan. The recommendations were written in the form of
suggested conditions only because of the necessity of speed of
processing and because that form was familiar to the Planning Commission
and Staff.
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing. Art Gimmy, Planning
Commissioner, reported that he had met with representatives of the
business community and wished to suggest four further concerns regarding
the proposed development. They were, additional parking spaces to be
provided, as well as adequate parking provided during construction,
with a temporary roadway for construction vehicles being requested;
public restrooms should be included in the plan; and a reiteration that
the commercial part of the plan contain resident-serving businesses
and not traffic producing tourist oriented businesses.
Mayor Bergsund reported that a letter had been received from the Reed
Union School District urging that the housing be suitable for families
with small children. Also, a letter had been received from the
Chamber of Commerce requesting more time before the plan was approved
and finally, a letter had been received from Mayor Rafter of Belvedere,
expressing some of Belvedere's concerns, primarily regarding additional
traffic impacts resulting from the development plan.
Using as a reference and guide the General Conditions suggested by the
Planning Commission for the plan, Council proceeded to go over these
suggestions individually.
Council agreed with suggestion #1, p.l, that prior to issuance of
a grading or building permit, a Precise Plan be submitted and approved
for the entire proposed development as specified in Section 10-10 of
the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance.
Council agreed with suggestion #2, p.l, that prior to issuance of a
grading or building permit, a tentative and final Subdivision Map for
the entire area covered by the Master Plan be submitted and approved,
in accordance with the requirements of the Town Engineer. Town
Engineer Bala noted that State law requires that the Council also give
approval.
Council agreed with suggestion #3, p.l, that each of the buildings in
the proposed development be subject to Site Plan and Architectural
approval in accordance with Section 11-1 of the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance.
Council agreed with suggestion #4, p.l, that each of the streets conform
to Town standards; be subject to design review and approval by the Board
of Adjustments and Review; be subject to design and engineering
approval by the Town Engineer.
Council agreed with suggestion #5, p.l, that all proposed or existing
utilities within the boundaries of the Southern Pacific development
be placed underground with connections to existing overhead lines at
appropriate locations.
TOwn Council Minutes #509
September 19, 1979
Page 1
Council agreed with suggestion #6, p.l, that the design, landscaping
and irrigation of all open space be done in consultation with and
approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission as well as approved
by the Board of Adjustments and Review.
Council agreed with suggestion #7, p.l, that the lagoon be approved
only after more technical data and detailed studies of drainage,
hydrology and geology be done to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer.
Council agreed that this scrutiny be applied to the entire project.
Under the Section, STREETS, Council agreed with suggestion #1, p.3,
that Southern Pacific should consider constructing one street
connecting Man West at the intersection of Esperanza. Council agreed
with suggestion #2, p.3, that Southern Pacific shall realign Paradise
Drive between Main Street and Mar West Avenue, moving it further inland
to leave an open space park, the exact location of which shall be
specified by the Town at a future date and the construction to be to
the satisfaction of the Town. Council agreed with suggestion #3, p.3,
that Southern Pacific improve Mar West Avenue and Tiburon Blvd, where
it borders Southern Pacific's property to the satisfaction of the
Town as specified in Title IV, Chapter 13 of the Town Municipal Code.
At the request of Councilman Edelstein, suggestion #4, p.3, within
the Southern Pacific properties, the existing bus stop on the north
side of Tiburon Boulevard opposite the Main Street intersection be
extended and improved. The existing bus shelter should be either
retained, relocated or rebuilt. The existing intersection of Main
Street and Tiburon Blvd. be modified to a Tee intersection and to
provide a paved plaza at the head of the existing Ferry dock. Where
appropriate and necessary, existing islands and the like shall be
removed and/or modified. All should be done in accordance with Town
approvals; that Southern Pacific construct two turnarounds on Paradise
Drive, one close to the intersection of Main Street and one at
the intersection of Mar West, the location and design of each to the
satisfaction of the Town. The turnaround near the intersection of
Main Street be provided with drop-off/pick-up zones for automobile
and buses, landscaped islands, cross walks, and adjacent short-term
public parking. The turnaround at the interesection of Mar West shall
be provided with traffic islands, crosswalks, and adjacent public parking
designed to accommodate possible future underground sanitary holding
which may be required by sanitary districts.
Council agreed with suggestion #5, p.4, that all new streets, including
those intended to serve only the residents of the development, be
constructed to Town standards.
Council agreed with suggestion #6, p.4, that all new streets have
sidewalks to Town standards on at least one side, unless specifically
approved otherwise by the Planning Commission. Council agreed with
#7, p.4, that Southern Pacific extend and improve the existing bus
stop on the North side of Tiburon Blvd. near Main Street, with the
approval of the Planning Commission. Council agreed with suggestion
#8, p.4, that Southern Pacific should consider offering for dedication
all streets to the Town. Alternatively, the Town Council may approve
ownership and maintenance agreement by a homeowner association for
a portion of the streets. In no event, however, ~hould Town Police
enforcement of parking or moving violations be precluded, nor any
roadway be closed off or otherwise restricted to the public.
The Council discussed the possibility of establishing a fund for
roadway improvements including modifications to the Trestle Glen inter-
section if it became necessary in the future. It was suggested that
Southern Pacific could offer a "pro rata" share of the improvements
based on the proportion of traffic the development would generate in
relation to the future buildout of other vacant areas in the Town. The
Town would then have the financial capability of making improvements
that were the result of increased traffic generated by future projects.
Also discussed were Councilman Edelstein's suggestions concerning the
possibility of reducing the total allowable area and mix of uses in the
project if a traffic service level of "D" or below occurs as a result
of the development. The intent was to insure that the Town would not
have to bear an unacceptable traffic situation which cannot be foreseen
at this time.
Council agreed with suggestion #11, p.4, that Southern Pacific construct
a paved foot and bicycle path through the development, in a location
and design approved by the Town, from the intersection of Mar West/
Town Council Minutes #509 September 19, 1979 Page 2
Tiburon Boulevard to the intersection of Mar West/Paradise Drive
with appropriate branches and connections to Main Street, Beach Road,
the lagoon, and Esperanza Street. New roadways and side-walks
provided within the project site could be used for portions of these
paths where appropriate, but, in general, the paths shall be located
and constructed in as natural a manner as possible. Additionally,
Council suggested that a connector be built to Racoon Lane.
Under the Section, PARKING, Council agreed with suggestion #1, p.5,
that Southern Pacific shall construct fully improved and landscaped
parking spaces, the total number of which will be determined by
adding the minimum number of parking spaces stipulated by the Zoning
Ordinance on a unit and/or square foot basis plus additional public
parking within the development site, both off-street and on-street.
Councilman Hanson suggested that Southern Pacific use as a guide
the Planning Commission's recommendation that 100 to 150 additional
parking spaces be provided, but did not want to specify an exact
number. Council agreed with suggestion #2, p.5, that Southern Pacific
construct, as part of its public parking requirement above, fully
improved and landscaped parking spaces, the exact location, design
and number of which shall be decided by the Town, at a future date,
generally in but not necessarily limited to the following areas:
(a) the ferry turnaround, which would be a short-term waiting
(pick up and drop off) area between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.; (b)
the Mar West/Paradise turnaround; (c) the Donahue Building. Council
discussed the suggestion #4, p.5, that Southern Pacific designate
an area in its development which could accommodate parking for up to
a maximum of fifty (50) cars on which the Town may unilaterally require
the construction of any number of parking spaces up to the maximum
in the event that post development experience demonstrates the need
for additional parking. It was mentioned that the area near Mar
West coulc be used and that it could serve as the overflow area during
the dry months when use of the open area would be at its highest.
Council discussed suggestion #5, p.5, that Southern Pacific attempt
to provide parking/waiting spaces for tour buses in unobtrusive, off-
street locations; Council directed the Town Attorney to determine if
it would be legal to prohibit tour buses downtown. Another suggestion
was that buses be required to drop off passengers and park other than
in downtown until the passengers were ready to board. Council agreed
with suggestion #6, p.5, that Southern Pacific provide lockable park-
ing stands for bicycles and motorcycles in locations convenient and
usable to the public, as approved by the Town. Council agreed with
suggestion #7, p.5, that parking areas be well landscaped, and, where
appropriate, screened or covered.Councilman Rockey further suggested
that street lighting (non-glare) be included in this suggestion. Council
agreed with suggestions p.6, that no parking space or spaces be closed
off by chains, gates, locked enclosures, or other barriers of any kind,
except where fee lot is approved by the Town.
Regarding DRAINAGE/HYDROLOGY, Council suggested that Southern Pacific
construct a drainage system that diverts all surface drainage water to
satisfy a 100 year storm criteria entering the project site from
higher elevations to Racoon Straits, except for that portion which can
be taken by the existing 18 inch pipe to Belvedere Lagoon and that
portion which is designed to be retained in the marsh area. Further,
that Southern Pacific consider providing the necessary marsh dredging,
holding basins and/or flood plains, siltation and debris traps, and
other methods of marsh restora~ion and preservation to the satisfaction
of the Town Engineer and in accordance with Town approvals. Where
combined efforts are necessary or desirable, Southern Pacific should
cooperate fully with adjacent property owners, the Marsh Committee and
the Town in order to achieve the overall goals of flood control and
marsh preservation. Also, the proposed lagoon be constructed and
maintained so as to prevent significant interference to sub-surface
drainage. And, that public access to the edge of the lagoon be provided
at locations, as designated by the Town. It was also noted that if
advisable or necessary to enable the applicant to meet the condition
the Town may form a special Flood Control, Open Space, Recreation and
Marsh Management Property Tax Subdistrict, encompassing the major
properties contributing to or affected by the lack of an adequate
flood and drainage control system for the Town.
The Town Council also concurred with the other suggestions of the
Planning Commission concerning the bonding to insure the visual
attractiveness of the lagoons and CC&R requirements to allow the Town
Town Council Minutes #509
September 19, 1979
Page 3
to maintain certain water quality standards. It was also noted that
the living area of the buildings should comply with flood control
requirements.
In discussing HOUSING the Town Council concurred with the provision
for 20% of the housing units to be for elderly and/or moderate
income persons.
The Town Council also concurred with the suggestions of the Planning
Commission regarding the architectural character and particularly
the consideration to be taken with the blocking of views by the project.
Regarding the construction activity, the suggestions of the Planning
Commission of limiting the hours of construction and insuring that
low-noise equipment is used were accepted. The Town Council also
believed that access for the construction equipment and vehicles be
limited, in that construction equipment not be unreasonably stockpiled
for the project. The Council also suggested that Southern Pacific
give reasonable notice and coordinate any service interruptions with
downtown merchants and any others that may be affected.
Concerning the PARKS AND OPEN SPACE provisions, the suggestions of the
Planning Commission concerning the waterfront park and the Peter
Donahue building were accepted. The Council h&ped that the Donahue
building would not be limited strictly to a museum but to other uses
that could be reasonably expected by the public.
The Town Council also concurred with the suggestions of landscaping,
irrigation and maintenance of the open areas.
The Town Council then discussed the question of the DENSITY for the
proj~ct. It was noted that it was suggested that Southern Pacific
would not develop one acre of land on the northwest side of Mar
West avenue, but rather transfer the density that could be constructed
in that area to the existing project area. In general the Town Coucil
felt the density transfer may be appropriate, however, the 'suggested
20,000 square feet of additional density may impact on the traffic
and could also make it more difficult to reduce the massing and building
area. As a result of the discussion Councilman Edlestein moved that
the Town Council set the density for the project at 6,700 sq. ft. per
acre subject to the safeguards suggested in the Planning Commission's
recommendations. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rockey. After
discussion the motion was withdrawn. The time frame for the project
was discussed and Councilman Edelstein suggested an extension to insure
adequate consideration of the plan. Mr. Finsterbusch, representing
the Southern Pacific Land Company, agreed to an extension of time
although he felt that a decision on the Master Plan should be made in
the near future.
The meeting was adjourned to Monday, September 24, 1979. The Town
Council and Planning Commission will review the new submittal from
Southern Pacific on Monday, October 1, 1979. Mayor Bergsund adjourned
the meeting at 2:45 a.m., Thursday,September 20,1979.

for low and or moderate income housing. Mayor Bergsund said she
thought the Council should decide whether it wants owner occupied
housing, rentals, elderly, large, small, low or moderate income.
Councilman Edelstein agreed that the Housing Authority should meet
with Southern Pacific so that SP can learn what is feasible regarding
financing. Councilman Rockey asked Mr. Blood-Bornholdt what he
saw as the greatest need in housing in Southern Marin. Mr. Blood-
Bornholdt said it is for large family units. Mr. Blood-Bornholdt
concluded by reporting that Home Federal Savings, Citizens Savings,
Wells Fargo, Bank of Marin and Fidelity Savings are all interested in
the financing for the Tiburon School conversion project.

Director of Community Development Hanna briefly outlined the
proposed La Cresta Development located outside the Town of Tiburon
limits in the vicinity of Ti,buron Hills, adjacent to Ring Mountain.
Because of an interest by the property owner to annex to the
Town of Tiburon and because of previous concerns expressed by the
Town concerning Master Plan review prior to consideration of
annexation, the property owner is proposing an~agreement
between the Town, the County of Marin, and the Property Owner. This
agreement essentially provides for a process of pre-zoning and
Master Plan application through the Town of Tiburon, prior to a
request for annexation. The County would be a part of the Town's
review process for the Master Plan and pre-zoning, but would not
take official action on the Plan until annexation is before LAFCO.

up to Federal and State Standards. She re:[X)rted that phase one of the Environmental
plan has been accepted and phase ~ is starting. There is a strict time
schedule and SMASM would like input and assurance fran Tiburon that the pipe
line can be done. Mr. Shulte, Executive Director of SMSAA, explained the pipe
'WOuld be a 30" pipe running fran Mill Valley through Blackie's Pasture, under the
bike path discharging the treated sewerage at Racoon Straights. He explained
the pipe could be put down ~ ways, either all at once or a segement
at a time. After asked by Council how long the bike path would be disrupted
he explained if done all at once, approximately 5-6 Ironths; if done in
segements, longeE. If SMASAA was allowed to put the pipe under the bike path
they could strajhten it. Town Engineer Bala suggested the pipe be laid along
the beach because the ground under the bike path was unstable. Mr. Haines fran
Sanitary District #5 said they are working with SMSAA and are on the same time

B. HAMILTON FIELD PROPOSED USES
Mr. Al Aramburu, explained the proposed uses for Hamilton Air Force Base.
He explained the differences between Measure F and Measure G, being that
F would rna.ke Hamilton Field become a restricted general aviation airport controlled
by the County of Marin and the Board of Supervisors with areas of the Base used
for ccmnercial developnent and housing. Only aircraft capable of carrying 20
passengers or less would be able to use the airport. F would also allow

Field a general airport controlled by the Board of Supervisors with services
necessary to support aircraft and passenger service. There is both econanic and
enviroI1llental disvantages wi ththese measures. The airports cost money to run
and maintain and will cause air and noise pollution.

5. Public Corrrnents
Mayor Bergsund opened the public hearing. Many residents spoke in opposition
to the proposed developnent. The primary concerns expressed were increased
traffic, the density of the project, possible view blockage and general
massiveness of the plan. A few residents spoke in favor of the plan saying
that it represents the best thinking of a respected architectural f.Lrnl and
that the Town will benefit from the shoreline park, restoration of the marsh
and corrected drainage.
6. Applicant's Canrnents
Attorney Richard Tarrant, representing the applicant, explained the plan
and gave assurances that the applicant will restore and maintain the marsh.
SP wants the cooperation of the adjacent property owners, however, and does
not want to buy that portion of the marsh. Architect Rodney Friedman further

carefully reviewed the revised October 17th submittal letter from SP and offered
suggestions and changes. There was a lengthy discussion regarding the uses
to be approved in the conmercial area of the development. Councilman Hanson
suggested to SP that they consider deleting all the canrnercial part of the
plan, thus reducing the density to 5,730 sq.ft./acre. Georges Jacquernart
of Alan M. Vorhees, traffic consultants, spoke at length about the traffic
projections along Tiburon Boulevard and at the Trestle Glen intersections.

MCEP has received approval for their grant fromthe California
Energy Commission. He asked for direction from Council as to ways
that MCEP can help Tiburon with energy related code and process

5. UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES
(Priority of Future Projects)
Town Manager Kleinert reported that the Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon
Property Owners Association has requested that undergrounding of

this group, spoke in support of undergrounding along Paradise Dr.
Mayor Bergsund asked if the LCOTPOA had discussed becoming an
undergrounding district. Mr. Elsberg responded that they had.
Mr. Kleinert reported that it may be until 1982 before we are
able to establish any undergrounding again. Because of this,
Council was reluctant to establish priority areas by resolution
as it did not want to lock in future Councils to their particular
thinking. However Mayor Bergsund requested that the official
record show that the Lyford's Cove Old Tiburon Property Owners
Association has made a strong request for undergrounding along
Paradise Drive at the first possible opportunity.

to one that received approval from the Planning Commission and Town Council
in 1972. Because of the water moratorium the final map was unable to be
recorded. Councilman Bass asked what the zoning district is for this
property. Mr. Hanna responded RPD-2. Mayor Bergsund opened the public
hearing. Mr. Branwell Fanning, representing the owner Mrs. Norwitt,
spoke in support of the application and Master Plan. Mr. Marinko,
owner of the property above the Norwitt property, disputed the map
that was presented regarding traffic flows and the road shown. Mayor
Bergsund closed the public hearing. Council discussed reducing the
size of the project to allow only 6 dwelling units instead of 8. Town

of the danger to small children and pedestrians. Town Engineer Bala
said that he could present possible solutions to the problem but they
would be costly. Council directed Staff to report at the January 2, 1980
meeting with information about islands, signs, speed bumps and any
further suggestions to alleviate this problem and danger.
5. SOUTHERN PACIFIC DOWNTOWN PROPERTY - POSSIBLE METHODS OF
ACQUISITION.
Town Manager Kleinert reviewed this item saying that Council
had pledged to discuss possible methods of acquiring the Southern
Pacific Downtown property. He introduced Mr. Ed Ness, Attorney, who
explained ways to acquire the property and ways that are not legal or
feasible. The most acceptable way would be to form an assessment district
and purchase the land. The property would have to be designated as
a park. Many questions arise concerning who would be in the assessment
district, Tiburon, Belvedere, un-incorporated parts of the Peninsula,
etc. After a lengthly and informative presentation Councilman Bass
said he would like the community to pursue this idea. Council decided
that it would be questionable for them to pursue this as a Council but
was encouraging to the community for individual citizens or groups to
look into this further.

The adjourned regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon was called to order at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, December 17, 1979
by Mayor Bergsund. The meeting was held in Room 9, Reed School,
Tiburon, California. The purpose of the meeting was to confer jointly
with the Planning Commission regarding the Tiburon Boulevard downtown
traffic improvements and the proposed Main Street turnaround.

Present: Councilmen: Bergsund, Hanson, Rockey, Edelstein (8:35pm)

Ex Officio: Town Manager Kleinert; Director of Community
Development Hanna~ Town Engineer Bala;
Police Chief Bailey; Superintendent of Public
Works Brunini.

Commissioners: Barsimanto, Davoren
Mayor Bergsund stated the primary purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the proposed improvements to Tiburon Boulevard a~-e~~~~~eQ
~ft-~fte-Bewft~ewft-Mas~e~-Piaft. Alternatives were submitted by the Town
Engineer. The Mayor stated the first order of business would be the
Downtown Tiburon Boulevard Master Plan proposals and following that,
discussion of the Main Street turnaround.
The Town Engineer reviewed Master Plan proposals A and B noting the
primary difference being that in Plan A significantly more parking was
provided than in Plan B. There are also some differences in the proposed
alignment of Tiburon Boulevard and proposed landscaping. He indicated
the existing number of parking spaces along Tiburon Boulevard in this
area was 40 spaces and that Plan A provided for 37 parking spaces; Plan
B provided for 8 parking spaces. Another primary difference is the
median strip which in Plan B consisted of landscaping and in Plan A
provides for a raised turning lane.
The Town Engineer noted certain concerns expressed by the Fire District
in their letter of December 12th and indicated that the problems which
the District posed appeared to be solvable.
The Town Council suggested consideration regarding the possibility of
providing additional parking in the center of Tiburon Boulevard in
lieu of the median strip, and reducing the median islands to provide
more parallel parking in Plan B. The Council also expressed some
concern about the apparent loss of the loading and unloading area in
the vicinity of the Musso property.
The Planning Commission quest&oned the need for separate bicycle lanes
on each side of Tiburon Boulevard. They suggested combining the lanes.
Other comments expressed by the Planning Commission included support
for Plan A with emphasis on maintaining view corridors down Tiburon
Boulevard; they noted the median landscaping could become a maintenance
problem; the bus loading area in the plans provided for too many
buses; they endorsed the concept of a Master Plan for Tiburon Boulevard
even though implementation may be some time away; there should be more
attempt to maintain or increase the number of parking spaces by
utilizing the area along the front of the Bank of America building;
there is a possibility of cOmbining existing driveways along Tiburon
Boulevard and this should be explored. Councilman Rockey noted it
appeared the "Depot Palm" would be eliminated with the realignment and
the Council and Commission suggested that the palm be retained or at the
very least be relocated to an appropriate area.
John Bailey, Chief of Police, stated his support for Plan A and indicated
he could foresee no safety problems with this plan. Staff recommended
that the bicycle paths remain separated on each side of Tiburon Boulevard
for safety reasons. The Superintendent of Public Works, Lou Brunini,
reminded Council that proposed landscaping of the Boulevard or the
median strip would result in expensive future maintenance costs to the
Town.
Town Council Minutes #518
December 17, 1979
Page 1
Representatives from the business community (Francis Ingalls, Marie
and Sam Schneider, Fred Zelinsky, Keith Morrison) expressed concern
regarding any proposed plan that would eliminate existing parking
spaces. The overall cost of the project was questioned and noted it
did not appear to be cost effective. Neither of the plans appeared
to help traffic circulation in the Downtown area. It was also
suggested that bicycle paths in the Downtown area were not appropriate.
Mayor Bergsund stated this matter would be reviewed further by the
Planning Commission in January. Council suggested that Southern Pacific
and their architects, Fisher-Friedman and Guzzardo, be included in the
review process for Tiburon Boulevard Master Plan. The Council suggested
that the Town Engineer use Scheme "A" as a base and consider the
following: 1. parallel parking; 2. reduce the landscaping area; 3.
combine the bike path on one side of the street; 4. retain the "Depot
Palm"; 5. break up the bus loading area; 6. combine the driveway
entrances; 7. locate parking near the Bank of America building and
consider placing the sidewalk on the upside of the property line rather
than the right-of-way.
The discussion then focused on the Main Street Turnaround. Mayor
Bergsund stated that the Main Street turnaround was last considered
by the Planning Commission and Town Council in April, 1979, and
continued at that time. It was Council's intent that after the summer
months and the opportunity for review after closing of Main Street
for the Holiday Inn Owners tour early in September. Chief Bailey
stated that his Department and the Town experienced no serious problems
with the closing of Main Street that evening. He noted the only minor
problem was with traffic circulation at Juanita Lane. However, because
the event was held on a slow night during the week and as Holiday Tours
had hired extra police to assist with directing traffic, almost all
problems were eliminated. Fred Zelinsky again indicated his opposition
to the proposed turnaround at Main Street adjacent to the parking lot
entrance. Francis Ingalls stated there was no need for a permanent
turnaround on Main Street and referred Council to the petition previously
submitted in April of a majority of merchants opposing the turnaround.
Keith Morrison stated that he had discussed with the Town Manager the
possibility of Main Street properties moving the parking lot kiosk and
improving the entrance to the parking lot. Hal Edelstein proposed that
a turnaround could be installed in the vicinity of the parking lot
entrance and not actually re-stripe the parking lot. He indicated the
only time the parking lot would be utilized for access to Juanita Lane
is when Main Street is actually closed for a special event. The
Planning Commission unanimously supported the re-location and re-design
of the kiosk.
Moved:
Vote:
that the Town pursue implementation and installation
of the proposed turnaround which would include the
re-location and re-design of the parking lot kiosk.

MOTION:
Council noted that the proposed plan for the turnaround and kiosk
should be prepared by Main Street properties and submitted to the
Board of Adjustments and Review for final approval. The Town Engineer
was instructed to assist Main Street properties in the preparation of
these plans.
Council discussed Hal Edelstein's proposed use of preferential parking
permits. Director of Community Development Hanna reviewed the proposed
preferential parking ordinance for the Downtown area. Both the Council
and Commission were supportive of the concept, however the actual
mechanics of the plan would have to be worked out. It was noted
the matter was discussed by the Planning Commission at the last regular
meeting and scheduled for further discussion at the January meeting.
Mr. Hanna was directed to contact Sausalito and report back on the
success and/or failures in their program.
