C. PUBLIC OUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
CHOI APPEAL
Carolyn Hockley, 20 Mara Vista, requested the appeal granted by the Council to deny the
addition of a second story by Mr. Choi at 12 Mara Vista, be scheduled for rehearing by the
Council because there were no findings presented by the Council; Mr. Choi is being denied
reasonable use of his property without legal basis; and the Town is open to further
litigation because the applicant complied with Town procedures and ordinances, received
approval from the BAR and had that approval overturned by the Council because of the
appeal of only one neighbor, and thus violating due process.
Bill Rankin, 13 Mara Vista, stated a meeting was held of all neighbors in an attempt to
obtain unity in support of Mr. Choi. Support was expressed by all in attendance except
for one person. Mr. Rankin further stated that only two neighbors would be directly
effected, himself and his next door neighbor, and they have always been in full support of
Mr. Choi. He further indicated his suspicion that opposition from his neighborhood may
be related to racial prejudice against Mr. Choi. He urged Council allow a rehearing of the
matter.
Mr. Choi, the applicant, submitted a letter to the Council requesting a rehearing of the
appeal which was denied on September 19, 1990.
Mayor Logan stated the Council had two choices: they could either vote to place this
matter on this evening's agenda, which would require a 4/5 vote of the Council; or they
could vote to schedule this matter for the next Council meeting.
Councilman Friedman stated he was not prepared to act on this matter tonight and
requested Staff to report whether it is appropriate and whether the Town's code allows for
a rehearing under these circumstances. He also felt this matter should be fully noticed
before reconsideration by the Council.
The Town Attorney stated the Council has not taken final action in this matter because a
resolution making the appropriate findings necessary to deny this application has not been
adopted by the Council. Therefore, it would be appropriate for the Council to move to
rehear this item if it so desires before Staff drafts the
final resolution for adoption.
Councilman Coxhead stated he stood by his decision to grant the appeal based upon the
information presented at that time. However, if new information was presented by Staff,
he might reconsider his decision.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891

Mayor Logan recommended this matter be referred back to the Town Attorney and
Planning Staff to report back at the next Council meeting with what options are available
to the Council regarding action on this matter.
Councilman Thayer expressed his disagreement that due process was not followed and that
findings were not made by the Council when they made their decision to grant the appeal.
He stated the only error made by the Council was one of procedure to direct the Staff to
draft a resolution outlining the findings which are adequately stated in the minutes to
support the appeal.
Councilman Kuhn disagreed and felt the matter should be reconsidered and that new
evidence is available and that much of the evidence submitted at the last hearing was
inaccurate; including the fact that many of the signatures objecting to the second story
were obtained prior to the applicant submitting drawings. Also, it was not sufficiently
noted that one neighbor who was originally opposed to the first drawings, withdrew their
opposition when the drawings were modified. Therefore, he felt assurance should be
provided to the community and the applicant that all aspects have been considered by
providing a rehearing of the matter.
Motion: To consider a rehearing at a future date with proper notification to all parties to
allow for fair representation.
Moved: Kuhn, No second
Mayor Logan requested this matter be placed on the next Council meeting agenda for
consideration as to whether a rehearing is warranted. He advised Mr. Choi and the
Hockleys that new and additional evidence would be necessary in order for the Council to
consider a rehearing.
COUN1YWlDE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Bob Ross, 16 Reed Ranch Road, noted he is a volunteer with the County Office of
Emergency Services and that the Town of Tiburon and the city of Belvedere will be
engaging in a county-wide emergency preparedness exercise the third week in October. He
expressed concern that there is only one telephone line in the Police Department and that
this is inadequate for emergency purposes. He urged the Council direct the Town Manager
to install at least two more lines prior to the exercise and to retain them for future
emergency needs.
Finance Director Stranzl indicated this matter is currently before the Town Manager for
consideration.
Don Batten, Mercury Avenue, stated the Tiburon Peninsula radio amateurs will be
participating in the emergency preparedness exercise and that communication services will
be adequate.

E. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
2. MARIN COUNTY HOMELESS WORKING PLAN (Report and Recommendation
by Blue Ribbon Homeless Working Group - Vice-Mayor Thayer)
Vice-Mayor Thayer, Town Council Homeless Liaison, reported on the findings of the Blue
Ribbon Homeless Working Group in their final report. He noted that the group has
identified approximately 1,500 to 2,000 homeless people in Marin County and he reviewed
the reason for homelessness. He noted that the final report had been received by the
Marin County Council of Mayors and Councilmen and they have referred the issue to the
eleven Marin County cities for their review and adoption of a resolution that would support
the findings of the study, support the MCCMC in their efforts to negotiate an action plan,
and that each city council provide local leadership in implementing the Phase II
recommendations of the report. The recommendations are as follows: 1) to provide
emergency housing; 2) to provide day facilities where people can leave their belongings and
have access to washing facilities; 3) to provide methods of transportation so people can get
to job interviews; and 4) the establishment of a County-wide Homeless Commission and
a Coordinator position.
The total estimated cost would be $2.5 million with the Coordinator position and staff
support costing approximately $70,000 per year.
Belvedere Councilmember Lani Valentine, City of Belvedere Homeless Liaison, stated that
at the next MCCMC meeting they will be polling the cities as to their endorsement of the
findings and recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Homeless Working Group, and if they
receive such endorsement, as well as endorsement from the Marin County Board of
Supervisors, Marin Interfaith Council, and
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891

Marin Community Foundation, then an action plan will be developed in its specifics. She
emphasized that the homeless problem is a shared responsibility.
In response to Council member Coxhead, Belvedere Councilmember Valentine indicated that
the point of decentralizing the shelters into five location sis an attempt to diffuse the
problems associated with attracting homeless from outside the County and to make the
communities more aware of their homeless. She stated she couldn't promise that such a
program won't attract homeless from elsewhere.
Mayor Logan expressed concern regarding the mentally ill homeless and what efforts will
be made on their behalf; and Belvedere Councilmember Valentine responded that this
report did not address the mentally ill homeless, but that the thrust of the report was to
address the "immediate and at risk of" being homeless. She stated that there are some
facilities available for the mentally ill, but many choose not to seek assistance.
Mayor Logan questioned whether and when the cities will be requested to assist in funding
the program and Belvedere Councilmember Valentine indicated that when the four
appointing bodies approve the program, a formula will be worked out for financing the
Coordinator position and the program.
Mayor Logan questioned the criteria for selecting the locations of the shelters and
Belvedere Councilmember Valentine responded that the selections were based upon need
and existing available services.
Motion: To adopt a Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Town of Tiburon
Supporting the Blue Ribbon Homeless Working Group Final Report
Recommendations.

Vote: AYES: Unanimous
3. MMWD WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE (Ordinance, 1st Reading)
The Planning Director reviewed the staff report and indicated he had included a provision
in the proposed ordinance that would require applications for landscaping for single family
residences be approved by MMWD prior to review by the Town. He suggested the proposed
ordinance be revised under Section 1 (A) by deleting the last sentence and inserting "All
landscaping plans be submitted to MMWD for approval prior to application to the Town
for design review approval."
Discussion ensued regarding confusion between MMWD and the Planning Director as to
MMWD's willingness to review the details of single family applications for landscaping or
just commercial development landscape plans.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891
10/3/90

Mayor Logan expressed concern as to whether this would create yet another layer of
bureaucracy for applicants of single family residences and that the time required by
MMWD to provide this service would be extensive. He also questioned whether there
should be a provision included in the ordinance that would require applicants of single
family homes to limit the types of vegetation used to those included in MMWD's list
attached to the ordinance. He felt the burden should be on the landscape architects to
provide compliance with MMWD requirements.
Bob Badaracco, Manager of Environmental Resources Division of MMWD, stated that this
ordinance only requires MMWD to review the amount of lot area covered by turf for single
family residences which is currently 25%. He stated water allotment is computed on the
average of the area upon which the residence is located and all proposed landscaping must
stay within those irrigation allotments.
Mr. Badaracco also stated that the list of vegetation provided with the ordinance is for
commercial restriction only and that MMWD could not currently restrict water allotment
for single family houses based on use of these plants. He also stated he would have to
consult with his staff as to whether they could review all single family landscape plans, if
the Town so desires, prior to Town review.
Mayor Logan opened the public hearing. Hearing no public comment, the Mayor closed
the public hearing.
Councilmember Friedman applauded the goals of the ordinance, but expressed concern
over the restrictiveness of the ordinance and that a provision should be included that states
the ordinance would not go into force until 30 to 40% of the other MMWD jurisdictions
pass a similar ordinance.
Councilmember Coxhead requested information from the Tiburon families who have been
testing the low flow toilets as to their satisfaction with the products. He also requested a
written statement from MMWD as to their policy regarding water caps.
Vice-Mayor Thayer felt it was premature to adopt this ordinance until the negotiations with
the other jurisdictions are completed and a final model ordinance is submitted by MMWD.
He also felt the burden for compliance should be placed with the landscape architects and
not MMWD or Town staff.
Councilmember Kuhn concurred with the comments and recommendations of the other
Councilmembers and requested these be incorporated into the ordinance and that it be
brought back for second reading with the provision that it not be enacted until a certain
percentage of the population has also approved such an ordinance. He noted that the
Bruce Moody family has tested the low flow toilets and has indicated satisfaction.
Mayor Logan supports the efforts of MMWD through this ordinance to limit water usage
with the proviso that the water saved will not be used to provide a pool for new hookups.
He noted that the interior plumbing requirements will be district policy and our building
inspectors will only be expected to ensure they are installed. He proposed Section 1 (A) be

amended by omitting the last sentence of the first paragraph and adding the following
subparagraph:
(2) Any landscape plan presented to the Town of Tiburon in conjunction with a new
single family residence shall use low water plantings (i.e. plants represented in
Exhibit A attached).
Mayor Logan also requested Exhibit A be amended by omitting the following species: c.
macrocarpa - Monterey Cypress; eucalyptus globulus - Blue Gum; Sequoia sempervirens -
Coast Redwood; and Montery Pine; and that none of these species can be planted in the
Town of Tiburon without a permit. Also add the additional paragraph:
(3) Any landscape plan presented to the Town of Tiburon in conjunction with a new
single family residence shall be certified by a licensed landscape architect as
complying with Section 1 (A) (1) and (A) (2) above.
Section V. Effective Date is to be amended as follows:
"This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after those cities
comprising at least 350/0 of the population of the Marin Municipal Water District
have enacted similar ordinances."
Motion: To read the Ordinance by title only.
Moved: Kuhn, Seconded by Coxhead
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
Motion: To pass first reading of An Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
adding Chapter 13E A Water Conservation Ordinance to the Tiburon Municipal
Code.
Moved: Kuhn, Seconded by Coxhead
Vote: AYES: Friedman, Coxhead, Thayer, Kuhn, Logan
NOES: None
Mayor Logan requested MWMD provide a report on the results of the low flow toilet tests
by Tiburon families.
Councilmember Friedman requested MWMD also report on what limitations for water
usage are being placed on newly constructed homes and clarification on the District's
enforcement measures.
4. NEW TOWN HALL PROGRAM (Progress Report and Recommendations)
Mayor Logan invited public comment not heard at the previous Council meeting.
Don Batten, President of the Belveron Homeowners Association, commended the Council
on their efforts and urged the Council select an architect from the community.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891
10/3/90

Jim Malott, Tiburon Blvd., stated he had no problem with the proposed site, but urged
Council not to limit architect selection to those within the community. He recommended
a limited or open competition for architectural selection.
Louise Teather, 2240 Paradise Drive, stated that only three other incorporated cities in the
Bay Area are without City Hall complexes. She urged Council to not pursue other possible
sites and to move ahead quickly with plans for the Ned's Way site.
Bob Ross, 16 Reed Ranch Road, expressed confusion regarding recent
local news articles stating the Town is still discussing the possibility of locating the Town
Hall complex at the Point Tiburon commercial area; and he questioned why the Child Care
Center would have to be relocated if the site remains at Ned's Way.
Mayor Logan responded that the Child Care Center operates under an annual lease from
the Town and that site was never intended as a permanent location. They have been
advised to look for a new facility. He also stated that the Town has made inquiries
regarding the Point Tiburon commercial area as a possible site.
Virginia Brunini, Planning Commissioner, stated that she hoped the Council would not
totally discard the Point Tiburon site as a possible option; that the input from the previous
committee be considered; and that the Town not proceed too rapidly in the architectural
selection process.
Nat Marans, Spanish Trail, hoped the Town would dispense with its consideration of Point
Tiburon because it owes one-fifth of a facilities act bond amounting to $1,200,000; the
Town would lose approximately $100,000 in sales taxes a year from the commercial facility;
there is still uncovered oil; and it would be costly to remodel the existing structures. He
urged the Town not get sidetracked on other possible sites, but pursue the Ned's Way site
and move ahead with the proposals.
The Mayor closed the matter from public comment.
Councilmember Kuhn felt the Council needs to make decisions on how to proceed as to
location; relocation of the Thrift store, community garden, Child Care Center; and the
selection of an architect process. He suggested that once these decisions are made, that
responsibility be appropriately delegated and that the architect selection process be open
at a competitive level.
In response to Coxhead, Vice-Mayor Thayer reiterated that he proposes requests be sent
out to the architectural community for proposals for master plans and Phase I
development; felt the present site needs to be identified in that regard and then selection
made of a proposal; foresees public workshops being held and the financing being
considered after these first steps are completed; proposed a deadline by the end of the
year.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891
10/3/90

Councilmember Friedman also expressed his opposition to a design competition and that
he would like an architect's proposal back by the end of the year based on the Ned's Way
site without totally discarding other site possibilities.
Mayor Logan reminded Council that if it designated the Ned's Way site for the Town Hall
it would be relinquishing its possible use for badly needed affordable housing; felt the
problem of financing must be dealt with first and that a design competition would provide
more variety of choice.
Motion: To direct the Town Manager to send out preliminary requests for proposals for a
master plan and design for the Phase I administration building on the present site
within the context of the outline previously presented; and that the preliminary
proposals be submitted by the end of the year with final selection by the second
quarter of next year.
Moved: Thayer, Seconded by Friedman
Vote: AYES: Friedman, Thayer
NOES: Coxhead, Kuhn, Logan
Councilmember Coxhead stated he could not support the motion and felt the Town should
move more quickly in the architect selection process.
Councilmember Kuhn did not support the motion because he felt the details he previously
outlined must first be decided upon, but he supported the proposed Ned's Way location for
the site.
Motion: That Council go on record designating Ned's Way as the proposed Town Hall site.
Moved: Logan, Seconded by Kuhn
Vote: Unanimous
Motion: To direct Town Staff to prepare a proposal for adoption by the Council at the next
regular meeting outlining a timetable for submission of architects' preliminary and
final proposals for a Town Hall at the Ned's Way site.
Moved: Logan, Seconded by Thayer
Vote: Unanimous
Council requested the Town Manager prepare his recommendations regarding the financing
issue for the next regular meeting.

5. APPEAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND REVIEW DECISION (A.P. #52-282-08;
Applicant & Appellant: Bill Beech, 6 St. Gabrielle Court: Request for Variance to
Increase Non-conformity)
The Planning Director reviewed the background for the decision to deny the request for a
variance by the BAR. He noted that a non-conformity currently exists and cannot be

increased without a variance. He recommended the council deny the appeal and uphold
the decision of the BAR.
Mayor Logan opened the public hearing.
Michael Barber, representing the applicant and Sharon Campbell Interior Design, noted
that the staff and two of the BAR members had initially approved the request for a
variance. He stated the enclosure of the deck is necessary for protection from the wind
and they are only requesting 54 sq. ft. more than the existing non-conformity.
Mr. Barber also noted that the lot size is 17,500 sq. ft.; but to be zoned RO-2, the
minimum lot size is 20,000 sq. ft. and that they are being held to the restrictions of the
larger lot size.
In response to Councilmember Coxhead, Mr. Barber and the applicant, Mr. Beech,
indicated they had spoken to all adjacent neighbors and had received no objections to the
proposal; stated one neighbor had been concerned about the chimney, but had been
satisfied once a mock-up had been placed on the roof indicating his view would not be
effected; noted that signatures had not been obtained.
Vice-Mayor Thayer felt this matter should be considered by the Marinero Architectural
Review Committee and expressed concern regarding the strength of the proposed structure
and the possibility of it's creating a glare problem.
Mayor Logan closed the public hearing.
Martin Perlmutter, Board of Adjustments and Review member, noted that two of the
members of the BAR, himself included, felt the variance should be granted based on the
facts that the request of an additional 54 sq. ft. is minute; they were not seeking to enlarge
the house, but are enclosing an existing deck; there were no objections from the neighbors;
and the proposed structure is an elegant design.
Councilmember Kuhn noted that a variance can be granted when it is deemed necessary
for the reasonable use and enjoyment of the property. He also noted that the two BAR
members who viewed the site voted in favor of the proposals, and the other three who did
not view the site voted against the request. He urged the appeal be granted since none of
the neighbors would be impacted.
Councilmember Coxhead stated he had visited the site and suggested this matter be
remanded back to the BAR to allow the other three members to visit the site. He again
expressed concern as to whether the property owner at 91 Sugarloaf had been contacted.
Councilmember Friedman stated he could not make the findings for a variance to increase
the non-conformity from the current 5% to 7% coverage and he did not agree that the
applicant would be denied reasonable use and enjoyment of his property if it was denied.

Council member Coxhead requested further proof be obtained that no visual obstruction
exists for the resident at 91 Sugarloaf and BAR member Perlmutter responded that all
property owners surrounding the site had been noticed.

property.

Vote: AYES: Coxhead, Thayer, Kuhn, Logan

granting the variance for passage at the next regular Town Council meeting of October 17,
1990.
6. APPEAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS & REVIEW DECISION (A.P. #59-141-08;
Applicant: Mr. Jordan, 2228 Vistazo East; Appellant: Betty McKegney and Christine
Miller; Approval of New Residence)
The Planning Director reviewed the staff report and recommended that Council uphold the
appeal and remand the proposal back to the Board of Adjustments and Review for further
review to allow the neighbors adequate time to address their concerns. This
recommendation is based upon the fact that the hearing had been originally noticed for
September 20th and then, at the request of the applicant, had been renoticed for September
6th, at which time the BAR approved the new residence at 2228 Vistazo East. The
neighbors appealed the decision on the grounds that they had anticipated addressing the
issue at the originally noticed meeting of September 20th.
Hank Bruce, architect for the applicant, stated he had requested the hearing be moved up
to the September 6 date because of the length of time involved from the date of application
to the hearing date. The request to move up the hearing date had been approved and the
applicant paid the $50 noticing fee expecting notices to be sent out to the adjacent property
owners. Instead, the only notice was in the newspaper; therefore, the appellants had no
opportunity to voice their concerns. He supports the recommendation that the BAR hear
the matter again at their next regular meeting.

Coucilmember Friedman questioned whether there would be sufficient time for preparation

for further review at the bar October 18 meeting.

7. ZONING ORDINANCE (Review of Zoning Ordinance Revisions as
Recommended by Planning Commission - Ordinance, 1st Reading)
Marilyn Siewert, Planning Commissioner, reported that the Commission held 10 public
hearings over the summer regarding this matter and received extensive public input which
has been incorporated into the current proposal. She commended staff for their hard work
and reviewed the relevant issues as outlined in the staff report. She reported that the
Zoning Ordinance Committee had recommended very restrictive design review requirements
and the Commission had disagreed and wanted much less restrictive requirements to not
stifle creativity.
Discussion ensued regarding F ARs and their value in giving bulk guidelines to applicants
prior to design review.
Councilmember Kuhn stated he felt the Park and Open Space Commission should be
addressed in the Zoning Ordinance since open space is incorporated in the Ordinance as
a zone.
Mayor Logan questioned staff whether an index would be incorporated in the Ordinance
to facilitate finding information.
Mayor Logan opened the public hearing.
Warren Callister, Planning Commissioner, presented a booklet "Architecture California"
and noted he had voted against approving the proposed ordinance because some issues
need further consideration. He agreed that a Town Architect was not necessary, but that
some sort of professional review was necessary. He stated a group of architects would like
to make a presentation at the Council's October 17th meeting in this regard. He also
suggested incorporating a system of incentives for design.
TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #891
10/3/90

Vice-Mayor Thayer expressed opposition to allowing further input by the architects when
it should have been done during the Commission hearings and that it places an unfair
burden on the Council.
Jim Malott, architect and resident of Tiburon Blvd., responded by stating that the
architects' input had been continually voted down by the Commission and that the same
problems exist in the proposed ordinance as were in the previous ordinance. He also
stated the proposed FAR provisions would open the Town to litigation; the architects were
not aware the Ordinance would be before the Council
for adoption this evening, but merely for receipt by the Council; and that no design
guidelines should be included in the Ordinance, but should only be advisory.
Virginia Brunini, Planning Commissioner, expressed dismay that the architects want to
continue to revise the Ordinance and she felt the issues had been adequately addressed.
She urged Council pass the Ordinance.
Mayor Logan closed the public hearing.
Mayor Logan suggested a special meeting be scheduled for October 16th to further discuss
this issue and to receive the comments of the architects.
Motion: To continue the public hearing to Tuesday, October 16, 1990, at 7:00 p.m.
Moved: Logan, Seconded by Kuhn
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
Councilmember Coxhead also requested the architects submit their input regarding Town
Hall that evening and the Town Clerk was directed to notify the Town Hall Committee that
this matter will be discussed at that time.
