TIBURON BLVD. REALIGNMENT AT TRESTLE
GLEN (Consideration of final plans
for realignment between Reed Ranch
Road and Stewart Drive)

1
The Chair introduced and reviewed the history of the item. He
referred to the six conditions of approval as set forth at the
City Council's June 12, 1973 meeting. The Chair stated that
public hearings had previously been held but since CAL/TRANS had
submitted an updated plan, the Council felt it should be publicly
reviewed with the Planning Commission.
The Chair interrupted the meeting to introduce Resolution No. 675,
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TIBURON EXPRESSING
APPRECIATION TO PLANNING COMMISSIONER CHARLES BASSETT FOR OUTSTAND-
ING AND DEVOTED SERVICE.
The Chair read the Resolution which expressed appreciation of the
City Council on behalf of the citizens of Tiburon to Commissioner
Bassett who had served with distinction on the Tiburon Planning
Commission from July 1970 to September 1974, and as Commission
Chairman from 1973-74. On motion of Ellman, seconded by Tayer,
the Resolution was unanimously adopted.
The City Manager reviewed the history of the realignment of
Tiburon Boulevard. He explained that the City approved plans in
1973 with six conditions. The first four conditions had been
met, and conditions 5 and 6 were being negotiated with the
Department of Transportation and should be considered separately.
Council's action this evening is to try to reach an agreement
with the representatives from the Department of Transportation
regarding such matters as: (1) Cul-de-sacing of Greenwood Beach
Road; (2) ~size of the underpass structure; (3) proposed land-
scaping, especially of the median strip.
The City Engineer reviewed previous proposals and the design now
before the City Council. He reviewed several proposed designs
for the underpass construction, and explained how the previously
mentioned conditions had been met. He stated he now supported
a cul-de-sac for Greenwood Beach Road and asked that the median
strip be extended to Stewart Drive.

Mr. Burch Bachtold, Deputy District Director of District 4,
California State Department of Transportation, stated they were
essentially in agreement with the City Engineer's statements.
The Department doesn't consider the proposed drawings as a new
design but a refinement of the previously approved design.
Mr. Bachtold explained the pedes train underpass would be
almost twice as wide as normal, that it would cost an additional
$100,000 and that it was very unusual to provide for such an
underpass on a conventional highway, especially within 100 feet
from a signalized intersection. The Department's solution was to
provide the underpass in conjunction with the drainage culvert.
He agreed with the City Engineer's proposed design of the outside
walls but explained they would probably be included at a later
date and not part of the engineering project. He also agreed
there would be a smoother flow of traffic if Greenwood Beach
Road were cul-de-saced.
Discussion followed regarding the proposed plans which showed
approximately 3 1/2 lanes to Stewart Drive with a bus stop lane
at Stewart Drive.
Mr. Bachtold explained they prefer to have the bus stop on the
far side of an intersection so that it doesn't interfere with
right hand turns, but stated the Department would look into
the matter to see if the bus stop could be set further back
thus providing for four full lanes.
In response to a question from Commissioner Wayne, Mr. Bachtold
explained the proposed elevation and grade of the highway; and
the need for additional lanes to provide safe driving conditions
for the existing volume of traffic.
In response to a question from Tayer, Mr. Bachtold explained the
Highway Department does not provide landscaping on conventional
highways unless it's in connection with erosion~. control.
Concerning the landscape maintenance, he explained that sometimes
it is done by the local jurisdiction and sometimes subcontracted
to the Highway Department and paid for by the local jurisdiction.
In response to a question from Tayer, Mr. Bachtold stated there
are no immediate plans for a bus stop to r~place-those at
Jefferson Drive and Reed Ranch Road, but they would be glad to
work something out with the Bridge District and City staff.
Virginia Sammis requested that there be as small a grade as
possible because of the noise caused by acceleration and de-accel-
eration. The Chair explained to Mr. Bruce Flanagan that the
project would be 83% funded by Federal-Aid Urban System funds
and CAL/TRANS has indicated they will pay the remainder. Mr.
Bachtold agreed the remaining 17% would be an obligation of the
Department of Transportation, subject to reaching an understanding
of how the right-of-way will proceed.
The City Engineer, a member of the County Selection Committee for
FAU funds, stated this project had been selected for these funds
but the project must get started while the funds were still
available. Mr. Flanagan stated he thought the proposal was too
extremem-and radical for the problem that now exists. Mr. Byron
Chapman stated he favored a "T" intersection with traffic lights.
Eiler ~- Foss, Chairman of the Tiburon Peninsula Advisory Commi ttee,
renewed an offer to arrange for meetings with the community before
any final decision is reached. Mr. Ramp Harvey stated he thought
the four lanes should be expanded to Avenida Miraflores; urged
that the bus stop lane be separate; favored the cul-de-sacing of
Greenwood Beach Road and urged that a decision be made promptly.
Mr. and Mrs. Rice asked about lighting of the pedestrian underpass
and the City Engineer stated he didn't think lighting would be
necessary but it could be provided.

Mr. Whitescarver questioned the proposed speed level. Mr. & Mrs
Kerr questioned the average flow of traffic and the noise level.
Mr. Osher asked about undergroundingoftelephone lines at Stewart
Drive. Mr. Bachtold replied that the lines would be replaced in
kind unless the City has an ordinance requiring it be done by the
company. Mr. Osher and Mr. Newtown, Little Reed Heights, requested
consideration of stop signs or lights and under or overpasses at
Stewart Drive. The City Engineer stated he didn't believe the under
would be useful. The City Engineer also suggested
for signal lights be installed during the construction
or overpasses
that conduits
phase.
&
Mr. Rene Cardinaux agreed with cul-de-sacing Greenwood Beach Road
and urged that landscaping be given serious consideration. Parks
Recreation Commissioner Gray requested the Council not accept the
proposed realignment, but pursue an alternate that would be closer
to the existing road. Willys Wagner, member of the Tiburon Board
of Design Review, requested that "story poles" be placed through
Blackie's Pasture to help people to visualize the proposed align-
ment and elevation. The Chair directed staff to implement this
request.
In response to a question from the Chair, Mr. Bachtold stated that
FAU funding was in jeopardy if the Council did not reach a quick
decision.
Mr. Fosnot, Director of Community Development, requested the proposed
plans be shown to the Fire District so they can respond to their
needs for an emergency road.
ADJOURNMENT
seconded by Ellman, the Chair adjourned the
to their next regular meeting on September
