Mr. H. Taylor, Assistant District Engineer, responded Tiburon
Boulevard is unsafe, but the State has their priorities and a
limited amount of funding.
's motion
Littman supported stop signs as an interim measure only and
requested the State Division of Highways include in their budget
as an urgency item $40,000 for a stop light on Tiburon Boulevard,
which he stated would be minimal compared to the costs the
State could incur should there be a death on the highway and a
resulting lawsuit against the State for their not correcting a
hazardous situation.
It was moved by Becker, seconded by AramburQ, to install stop
signs at Avenida ~liraflores at the earliest feasible time.
Messrs. Chester Judah, John Hoffmire and Bruce Flannigan spoke
in support of stop signs. Planning Co~issioner Robert Wayne
objected to stop signs. ~lr. Fred Hannahs and Chief Frank Buscher
of the Tiburon Fire Department spoke against stop signs on the
basis they will cause traffic congestion and make it impossible
for fire trucks to respond to emergency calls.
In response to a question by Aramburu, ~lr. Kakos stated if a
stop sign were put in and did not work, it could be removed. In
response to Aramburu's question about overpasses or underpasses,
the City Engineer stated the cost is prohibitive and he doubted
that pedestrians would use them.
Fanning recommended one stop light between Avenida Miraflores and
Tiburon in order to interrupt the flow of traffic. He stated
in his opinion a number of stop signs would present a dangerous
situation and would not achieve the desired results

Mr. Steve G. Kakos, Assistant District Traffic Engineer, State'
Division of Highways recommended stop signs as an interim measure,
with adequate signing on the Boulevard for safety measures.

Avenida niraflores
The City Manager presented a report on the recommendation of the
Division of Highl~ays for stop signs on Tiburon Boulevard. The
City Engineer reviewed the results of the traffic counts taken by
the Division of Highways at Avenida Miraflores, Rock Hill Drive,
Lyford Drive and San Rafael Avenue. He recommended installing
a stop sign at Avenida t.tiraflores, studying further signing for
the three remaining intersections, and consideration of a stacking
storage lane at San Rafael Avenue.

Aramburu requested definite clarification of the number of parking
spaces in the green belt or open space area. Littman requested
when this matter comes back, the council have for their review
copies of the minutes of the Council and Planning Commission
relating to this development
The Chair directed this matter to Ilay 22, with the understanding
landscaping and grading plans and other items discussed this
evening will have been reviewed by staff.
fIr. Leo Bodian questioned the number of parking spaces on the
l25-foot strip, originally designated as a "green belt" area,
and questioned the addition of a two-story social hall, which
was originally purported to be a small cabana for changing into
swimming suits. 11rs. Bodian urged the parking be required in the
multiple area itself and stated the green belt area was to be a
buffer zone between multiple dwellings and the RO-2 zone.
To a question by the Chair, fir. Smith stated Brown/Heldt had not
reviewed the final plans as presented to ~he council this evening
Mr. Hoffmire stated they have no objection to submitting an
irrigation plan to the city.
The Director of Community Development stated the ordinance
approving the Hoffmire application for PD Precise Plan for
apartments on Marinero Circle had been conditioned on the approval
of landscaping plans, to be reviewed by Brown/Heldt Associates.
Hr. I'.lalcolm Smith presented a copy of the landscaping plans to
the council and outlined revisions to the plan, in accordance with
the suggestions of Brown/Heldt. The City ~1anager stated staff

upon the sUbmission by the developer of an irrigation system for
approval by staff.

stated he had omitted from the resolution reference to lands

ing th~ inclusion of Angel Island in the Golden Gate National

detail the question of whether or not Angel Island should be
controled by the State or Federal Government.
It was moved by Becker, seconded by Fanning, to adopt Resolution 435.
County Parks and Recreation Commissioner Polly Smith reported the
Board of Supervisors will be discussing this matter tomorrow, and
requested council consider including in the resolution Olema,

The Chair continued this matter to Ilay 22, directing staff furnish
the council with a resolution addressing itself more specifically
to the endorsement of these proposals rather than in a generalized
form. Staff should also furnish council with more information from
the county, and copies of the proposed legislation
Becker questioned alternative concepts considered other than a
regional park district. Littman questioned approving the resolu-
tion without reviewing the legislation proposed by Behr and Bagley
He also questioned creating another special purpose district.
Fanning strongly objected to the Board of Supervisors being the
governing board. Littman objected to the paragraph in the resolu-
tion which could be construed as supporting a regional park
district on Tiburon ridgelands, and urged the council adopt a more
precise resolution.
The City Manager presented to the council the proposal to endorse
the concept of a county-wide Regional Park District to provide the
necessary financing for the preservation and acquisition of urban
open space as designated in the Marin County-wide Plan. The
Assistant City ~1anager reported Senator Behr and Assemblyman
Bagley have introduced legislation for such a district conditioned
on the fact that the Board of Supervisors be the governing body.

The Chair remanded the proposed sketch to the Lands and Develop-

Zone that developne~~ must be in accordance with the general
densities set forth in the Tiburon General Plan, and in no way
should his vote be construed as indicating he would favor any

PUBLIC QUESTIONS
AND COr-n.mNTS
A substitute motion was made by Littman, seconded by Becker, that
the manner and form of an amendment for maintenance of horses by
non-owners be referred to the Public Services Committee, to
report back to the council at the next meeting with proposed
to be approved by the City Attorney.
language
Littman indicated his concern with allowing horses to be kept
on other people's land, especially where the owner lives some
distance from Tiburon, such as in San Francisco. Becker stated
in his opinion as long as the requirements of the city are met,
ownership of the land should not be required. Aramburu referred
to provisions in the ordinance to abate nuisances of horses,
which protects the rights of all citizens. Mr. Al Anoulik spoke
for horses being allowed on land not owned by the horse owner,
but urged council not allow it for purposes of remuneration.
Planning Commissioner Allan Thompson, referring to Section 5
of the ordinance, stated it was the intent of the Planning
Commission that the ordinance allow the use pe~it for the
keeping of horses to go with the land. The Chair stated it was
his understanding it was not the council's intent to limit licens-
ing of the horse to the owner of the land. Upon the advice of
the Deputy City Attorney, it was moved by Becker, seconded by
Aramburu, to delete in Section 2 of the ordinance the definition
of "Horse, l-laintenance for Private Use."
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Becker, that the ordinance
be deemed to have passed second reading and be adopted.
On motion of Littman, seconded by Becker, the Chair declared
with unanimous consent reading of the full ordinance waived,
and the ordinance was read by title only.
An ordinance entitled AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TIBURON ESTAB-

Littman stated the North 11arin intertie was scheduled to be
completed in 1972; and when this is accomplished, there will be
no water shortage problem.
Aramburu reported the County AsseSsor advised him the moratorium
would not affect the cost of property by increasing property
values. In response to a question by Aramburu, the Director
stated development of the downtown area would not be affected
as it would be a year before ground could be broken on a new
downtown plan.
The City Engineer reported he has met with engineers of the
Water District, and on the basis of their conversations, in
his opinion a moratorium is not necessary at this time. Mr
Phil Buskirk questioned the necessity for a moratorium and
suggested citizens might prefer rationing to cutting off new
water hookups.
Dr. Ron Stafford, candidate for the Water District, stated the
State Water Code provides if a water shortage threatens, the
Water District has the authorization to stop any new hookups
to protect present users over any developers asking for connec-
tions. He stated stati~tics have been available to the public
and numerous public meetings have been held in this matter.
Littman presented to the council a resolution requesting the
f1arin Municipal Water District delay action on the proposed
emergency ordinance to ban future housing and development. He
stated no communications have been made to the cities of ~larin
County which will be directly affected by the ban, and he
requested before a moratorium is imposed, the Water District
furnish answers to five questions set out in the resolution.

In response to a question by the Chair, fir. Perry stated it is
not necessary or desirable to be specific in the exact property
the City is going to buy as they eannot actually negotiate with
the landowners until after the election and they have the money;
and, also, it is better not to be tied dm~ to specific properties

Aramburu urged the Council set definitive boundaries on the
property they are talking about, come up with a price for this
property, determine how it is go~.ng to be financed, and then have
the people decide by a vote whether they want the Open Space
preserved.
In response to a question by the Chair, lir. Perry explained the
General Obligation bond and the Joint Powers bond, which could be
negotiated with the City of Belvedere, the County, and even with
the School District. He stated definite figures cannot be fur-
nished until the City defines specific properties in which they
are interested in acquiring.
~~. Vernon Perry, financial consultant, reviewed action taken by
his firm to date. He stated they have talked with land owners
and also with the City of Belvedere in regard to how much Belve-
dere can legally participate, and with representatives from the
County. They hope to have a preliminary report prepared by next
week and a final report ready in two weeks. He stated HUD
representatives in Washington have advised funding for this type
of activity is very limited, and preliminarily he would recom-
mend going to the citizens of this Peninsula for some type of
bond obligation.

In response to a question by Fanning, the City Manager stated
a bond election can be canceled at any time up until the eve
of the election.
I.lr. Kenneth Rosenthal, a member of the Open Space Committee,
urged the Council engage in an intensive educational program to
explain to the citizens exactly what the Council wishes to do.
11rs. Polly Smith recommended funds from the State be investigated,
and that citizens be informed of tax savings benefits to p~operty
owners who dedicate lands.

Harvey, speaking as an individual, suggested Council be very
specific in the lands they are interested in, that this property
be appraised, and the land owners informed of the Council's intent
Mrs. Phyllis Ellman urged the Council consider private funding in
Harin County.
Littman referred to Item 5 on the agenda and questioned the dollar
limit for ~le total program. He urged Council hold a meeting to
discuss questions concerning costs of the land and tax rate.
In response to a question by Urs. ~1arins, the Chair stated pre-
servation of the waterfront can be accomplished without contri-
bution of City tax funds, but by other methods which will guar-
antee it will remain open.
The Chair expressed the Council's thanks and appreciation to Mr.
Rampton Harvey and the members of the Open Space Committee,

l~. Coleman requested that a soils engineering report be a
condition of the building permit, as according to Section 10-
l2E their project might be exempt from Precise Plan procedures.
The Director stated the City Attorney has recommended against
exempting the Precise Plan stage for this project. The Chair
directed tile record reflect a Precise Plan will be required
and the applicant indicated he understood this requirement.
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Aramburu, that there be
a third condition added to the resolution setting forth that
prior to Precise Plan approval, a report by a qualified soils
engineer be furnished to the City Engineer for his approval.
In response to a question by Littman, the Deputy City Engineer
advised a soils report by a civil engineer specializing in
soils mechanics is a requirement for Precise Plan approval,
and a preliminary report is sufficient for Master Plan.

a requirement at the Master Plan stage.

It was moved by Littman, seconded by Aramburu, to amend the
motion to provide that remarks made by Mr. Nathan Jones concern-
ing the willingness to secure covenants from all of the pur-
chasers to be enforceable will be considered the appropriate
method of maintenance. Fanning accepted the amendment, and
question was called on the main motion, as amended. Motion
carried:
Littman
It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Littman, tllat in connection
with Item 6 of Resolution 414 of January lO, 1972, wherein the
City Council approved a PD Zone Precise Development Plan for
property on l1arinero Circle, that the landscaping plan prepared
by Halcolm G. Smith dated Hay 8, 1972, be approved, modified
as to the recreational area by Mr. D. Hugh Gregory Coleman and
initialed by him on June l2, 1972; and Mr. Arthur Lang dated
ilay 19, 1972, initialed by Mr. Coleman on June l2, 1972.
The Chair directed the record show that the preliminary draft
of ~lr. Jones in regard to provisions for maintenance has been
filed with the City offices.
Aramburu, referring to the t..rording open space" in Uinutes 257
in regard to this development, asked that this wording be more
clearly set out in the resolution.
In response to a question by the Chair about the methods of
maintaining the landscaping, Hr. Nathan Jones stated the
maintenance of the property will become a part of the covenant
of the deed. In the event the landscaping is not maintained
by a single owner or a group of m~ners, they can maintain the
property and it becomes a lien a~-ainst the property. He stated
a preliminary draft of this propcsal has been furnished to the
City.
Ilrs. Gill objected to the five parking spaces near her property
and questioned whether the existing telephone lines will be
undergrounded. Mr. Hoffmire stated the parking spaces are a
necessity and there is a 50-foot drop from them to her property.
In regard to the utility lines, all PG&E will be underground
on the property, and they are negotiating with the telephone
company in regard to undergroundinq the existing poles.
Itrs. Gill questioned the ultimate ot~ership of the apartments,
future control over the green belt area, and maintenance of
the landscaped area. The Director stated landscaping must
meet the necessary requirements before a building permit will
issue; maintenance will be controlled through covenants and
restrictions in the deeds and assessments; and any substantial
change in landscaping, as far as open space is concerned, in a
PD Zone constitutes a change in the Precise Plans and necessi-
tates the applicant going through the Precise Plan procedure
and applying for a use permit.
Mesdames Bodian and Margaret Gill, neighbors to the project,
revi~..red the plans. In response to objections by tlrs. Gill,
rIr. John Hoffmire agreed to eliminate the playground area,
leaving the area as open space.
Hr. D. Hugh Gregory COleman, architect, spoke to the plans
and advised the changes included a reduced number of parking
spaces and eliminating the social hall by substituting a
small cabana (dressing room and toilet facilities).

It was moved by Fanning, seconded by Aramburu, that the ordi-

Br. Robert Stone advised the Council he purchased Lot 14 on
Marinero Circle with the full understanding it was possible to
have a 3,000 square-foot parcel area with beautiful design,
and he presented preliminary plans for the construction of a
high quality complex consisting of six units.
The Director reported R-3 development is under moratorium
until August, and therefore Hr. Stone I s p::-operty cannot be
developed until the expiration of the moratorium.
In response to a question by the Chair as to whether Mr. Stone
has vested rights with respect to the 3,000 minimum lot
standard, the Director stated he has not presented a plan to
the City.
In response to a question by the Chair, the City Attorney advised
a variance could be applied for in this case to allow a 3,000
square foot parcel but the requi.t-ements of a variance must be
met and the requirements are difficult.
Ur. Allan Thompson, chairman of the Board of Design Revie\-1,

~lr. Phil v. Scott, Development Administrator, was sworn and
gave testimony as to the background information in ~~is case.
He stated the Board of Adjustments concluded that the applicant
had not met the requirements of Section 17 of the Zoning Ordi-
nance, and therefore did not grant the variance requested.
He presented the Secretary's Report reporting the facts of the
case, which is marked Exhibit 1; a plot plan showing the loca-
tion of the particular variance in question, marked Exhibit 2;
and a partial plot plan showing the boundary line between the
Anderson residence and Dr. Lamperti's building, marked Exhibit
1-10. 3.
The Chair questioned the findings Council would need to make in
order to reverse the Board of Adjustments' decision. The City
Attorney responded the Council must make the findings that are
required for a variance, and read to the Council Section 17 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Hr. William Hochman, attorney for Bessrs. Lamperti and Davis,
revie~.,ed the history in this matter and testified hot." in his
opinion, tl1e requirements of Section 17 have been met and
therefore the variance should be granted. He stated there
was no willful intent of the owner to deceive, and stated
they are merely aSking that the house be permitted to stand
t'lhere it is. He presented a letter from Il.1r 0 Ed\'lard P. f1orphy,
real estate appraiser, who concluded the building of r~
Lamperti's house creates no dimunition of value to Hr. Anderson.
The Chair received in evidence Appellant's Exhibit A, a scale
dra~^ling by Mr. Lamperti of the property; and Exhibit B, the
letter from !ir. rIorphy.

In response to the City Attorney's advice, Littman amended
his motion to include that the Council finds the four require-
ments of Section 17 are met, and that Hr. Lamperti is required
to reimburse Hr. Anderson for the costs of taking a survey.
After further discussion, it was moved by Littman, seconded by
Sennett, that the appeal be allowed on the condition that there
be a landscaping plan, approved by the City, and that a cove-
nant to maintain the landscaping be executed so as to run with
the land in favor of the Anderson land.
Hr. Anderson advised the day the concrete was poured and the
frame laid out he requested the foreman stop work. He also
phoned the Development Administrator and requested the City
take action to stop work until he could take a survey of the
property. The Development Administrator advised the City
is bound to accept the surveys of a recognized builder, licensed
by the State.
Littman stated he understands the builder thought he was putting
the house in the correct place, and the mistake was inadvertence
rather than carelessness, and the stop work order was issued
when the house was 85 percent completed.
Fanning reviewed the four conditj.ons of Section 17 which the
Council must be satisfied are mei: in order to grant a variance,
and stated in his opinion none of these conditions can be found.

The City Uanager presented the application of Ur. Bruce Flanagan
for a use permit under the interim ordinance controling develop-
ment and subdivision in the Open Space Study Area, which would
permit consideration of a minor subdivision of property located
off the present terminus of Round Hill Road. The Director
stated staff recommends no action be taken in this matter until
the open space studies are completed.
lIr. Bruce Flanagan spoke to the matter, and stated their pro-
posal is for a single-family home on a one-acre lot in an area
where houses are on half-acre lots. He stated Parcel A has
never been included in the moratorium area.
Aramburu stated the Lands and Development Committee and the
Open Space Committee are meeting on Wednesday, June 14, to
discuss what parcels will be included in the Open Space area,
at which time property will be released from the moratorium
area, and requested no action be taken until after the committees
have met.
After further discussion, and there being no objection, the
Chair directed this matter continued for a month, at \'1hich time
the Council hopes to have acted on the recommendations of the
staff, Nilliams and Hocine, and the Open Space Committee report.

Road, and the Council should confine itself to this matter.
It was moved by Littman that all horses presently in Tiburon
be declared a nuisance and the owners have 60 days in which to
apply for a permit.
The Chair stated that the Council has been advised by the
Deputy City Attorney that the presence of the horses in the
RO-2 zone constitutes a violation of the Zoning Ordinance of
the City, and therefore constitutes a nuisance and th", Council
can order the abatement of the nuisance.

with the statement of the Deputy City Attorney that a nuisance

The City Manager requested the Council find the existence or
absence of a public nuisance in relation to the regulations
of the Zoning Ordinance in the above matter. He stated

Littman asked that the record be clear that his vote for the
motion in no way assumes either that the existing number of horses
is p~oper.pr:not, but this matter will be questioned at the
time of the hearing for the use pe~it.
Mr. Anolik requested the Council decide \~ether it wanted a
hearing on the common or codified definition of what a
nuisance is or whether they were limiting themselves to the
Zoning OrdinanCe. He asked for a legal ruling as to the
theory whether or not the Council is estopped from any further
action as to this nuisance hearing until the use permit is
heard. Sennett questioned the Deputy City Attorney whether,
in view of I-ir. Anolik's statements, he would alter his inter-
pretations as given to the Council, and the Deputy City
Attorney advised he would not.
It was moved by Aramburu, seconded by Littman, to adopt
Resolution 447 declaring the p~.3turing and maintenCLlce of

the City Code calls for the fencing of swimming pools and that
the swimming pool in question has been under construction for

public which should be recognized as a method to preserve
some of the most unique aspects of this area, its special
features being the ridge and its shore line. He stated they
have been able to preserve the waterfront at no cost to
the citizens, but there is no way to acquire the ridge lands
without expending public moneys. He s~fed they are attemptinq

The Chair stated Council was advised at that time by rezoning
the property it would not be removed from the moratorium area,
development would require a special use permit, the Council
was not increasing the density, and was not approving any specific
plan to develop the property.

The Chair referred to Council Minutes 285 which indicated
Planning Commissioner Thompson and the Director of Community
Development advised in principle the Planning Commission
approved clustering in this area, but their reason for not
recommending action at this time was their concern it would
be inconsistent with the open space program.
Planning Commissioner Wayne objected to the Council's taking
action on the rezoning at this time in that the Planning Com-
mission had asked that DO action be taken in this matter until
all rezoning studies have been completed.

The Chair suggested sending two letters in the next two weeks,
one to every resident in the City of Tiburon explaining the
Council's actions; and one to every property owner within the
area of the moratorium, inviting them to discussions with
Council and appointed citizens. He stated one member of the
Council, on an on-going basis, should be present, along with
members of the Open Space Committee, former Mayor Rice, and
staff at meetings with landowners.

The Chair referred the report to the Lands and Development
Committee for their reaction and recommendations with respect
to any differences in this report and the reports of the Open
Space Committee and of Williams and flocine, and also for their
comments with respect to the redevelopment concept. He directed
the matter come back to Council at the first meeting in August.
The Chair on behalf of the Council expressed its appreciation to
Mr. Vernon Perry for the comprehensive report prepared and the
assistance given to Council and staff by his firm.
r'lr. Perry gave the background for preparing the report, which
dealt with (1) the purchase of prime properties by General
Obligation Bonds, (2) the possi~ility of redevelopment for the
downtown area and areas up Tiburon BOUlevard, and (3) parcels
outside the city limits over which the City has no control.
!he Chair urged interested persons obtain copies of the report
from staff for study, and that neighborhood associations be
encouraged to agendize the report at their meetings for discus-
sion. He stated members of the Council and staff would be happy
to par~icipate at meetings when the report is discussed.

and the ordinance was so read
The Chair referred to a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Cassou, property
owners, requesting this property be excluded from the Open
Space moratorium area and it be rezoned R-lC.
The Chair directed the minutes reflect the report of the
Planning Director that the approval of the R-IC zoning does not
increase density; the cluster z<ne would require a use permit,
being in the moratorium ~rea; ~~~ter and Precise Plan approval
would be required for development of RjlC property; and the
State Law gives the City the power to reject any design not
consistent with Open Space Plans. Also, the City could rezone
the property again if, upon completion of the Open Space Plan,
the City feels public necessity requires rezoning.
The Director read a letter from ~tr. Frank Wosser opposing the
rezoning, and a letter from IJrs. Helen E. Newman endorsing
the cluster concept but opposing any increase in density.

In response to a question by the Chair, referring to Littman's
concerns, the Director stated R-IC cluster has different require-
ments than RO-lC in that in R-l e the density is four times as
high, and you are allowed attached dwellings of four in one
group. It does not permit higher density but the units can
be placed closer together to allow for open space

,
Littman stated in his opinion this application for rezoning an
area to R-IC is different than the Ham application for RQ-IC
zoning in that R-IC allows a m~~h higher density. He would
recommend the Planning Comnlission carefully consider the
cluster zoning for this area, taking into consideration the
fact that this area is close to Hilarita, which will have a
high density.
Aramburu asked that the record reflect he does not agree to
any development of these parcels. He agrees with ~~. Harvey
there must be a fair and equitable way or dealing with all
rezoning requests and the Council needs to vote in a way con-
sistent with a uniform approach to all property owners.

There being no objection, the CLair ruled the Council accepted
the City Engineer's recommendation, with due concern for
Ilr. Husso. In response to a r.~quest by Becker that the City
do the work, the City Engineer advised the job is too major
for the Public t'Jorks Department, but offered his assistance
to attempt to get the job done as inexpensive as possible
and to obtain three bids for I1r It ~1usso. r-tr. Busso accepted
the Chair's ruling.
BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL
The Assistant City l-1anager brought to the Council's att~ntion
the fact that r/lr. John Busso had improved a portion of his
sidewalk on Hain Street ,~ith blacktop. The City Engineer
reported llr. I"lusso had been advised by the Superintendent of
Public Works that the sidewalk in front of his property,
55 feet from the corner, showed some cracks and would have to
be repaired. Instead of repairing the concrete 11r. Musso over-
laid it with blacktop, which is not acceptable for a main city
sidewalk. He recommended the blacktop and cracked concrete
be removed and replaced with proper concrete, at an approxi-
mate cost of $650. In response to a question by the Chair, the
City Engineer stated repairing damaged sidewalks is the obli-
gation of the property o\.,ner. ilr. John I1usso, speaking in
his behalf, stated citizens of Tiburon have advised him they
prefer blaCktop to concrete, and he requested permission to
even the sidewalk out and leave the asphalt. He stated he had
been advised by the Superintendent of Public t10rks that the
City must redo all of I1ain Street in the near future, and
therefore requested permission this be allowed as an interim
repair job.

IV. BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL
1. ACQUISITION OF OPEN SPACE Action Adopted Resolution No. 445
Mayor Sennett reviewed the past action of the Council in reference
to the City Council's calling for a special bond election to
acquire open space. He noted the Resolution of Public Interest and
Necessity has originally been adopted at the June 26th Council
meeting and the Ordinance Calling for a Special Bond Election had
likewise been introduced and passed first reading at the July 10th
meeting. Because of the Council's desire to eliminate the word
"park" from both the resolution and the ordinance, it was now
necessary to rescind the adopted Resolution No. 446, and the ordin-
ance which had passed first reading would not came on for second
reading.
Resolution of Public Interest & Necessity
A motion by Panning, seconded by Becker to adopt the revised
Resolution No. 455 "RESOLUTION DETEmUNING THAT THE PUBLIC INTERBS7
AND NECESSITY DEMAND THE ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION
BY THE CITY OF TIBURON OF THE FOLLOllING ~tUNICIPAL Il-tPROV'EMENT, TO
t'lIT: REAL PROPERTY FOR OPEN-SPACE AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES J AND
THAT THE COST OF SAID MUNIcrPAL IMPROVEMENT t.7ILL REQUIRE AN EX-
PENDITURE GREATER THAN THE AMOUNT ALLota:D THEREFOR BY THE ANNUAL
TAX LEVY".
Anne Ellinwood questioned the Council's reasoning for the elimination
of the word "park" fran the oriqinal resolution and ordinance. The
Chair responded that Council was concerned the word would possibly
cause some misconception or misapprehension by some Tiburon
residentsl in that it would be equateo with intensive structured use.
Question was called on the motion to adopt Resolution No. 455, and
the motion carried:

Anne Ellinwood stated that she felt it was unnecessary for the City
to conduct a special bond election and that the proposed election
should be incorporated with the General Election on November 7th,
only a few weeks later. This would provide a savings to the tax-
payers and assure a maximum turn-out to vote on the issue.

Mr. Ham addressed the Council and explaine~ his only intent was to
save t~e and go through the necessary procedures before the end of
the moratorium, but he would wait until the end of the moratorium
for construction.
Aramburu stated that he was originally critical of the Planning
Commission because they approved the cluster zoning but recomMended
no action be taken. He agreen however that there should be consistent
action toward the moratorium lands.
Littman pointed out that this property under consideration, although
subject to the moratorium, was not recomMenned for acquisition in
the open-space program.
The City Attorney stated that no use could presently be ~ade of the
property without a use permit.
The Director replied that the Council would be obligaten to review
it in light of the open-space element; and in addition, State law
requires the zoning map to confo~ to the general plan.
The Chair asked if the Hilliarns & '1ocine study and the Planning
Commission make further recommen~ations, would the fact that we have
approved this cluster zone prevent us from again reviewing this
matter including re-evaluating this parcel.
Robert Hayne, representing the Planning Commission, stated it. was not
their intent that the City Council rezone the property to a "C" zone
at this time. The Planning COMmission's feeling is that to do so at
this time would be setting a precedent. The Commission feels that
rezoninqs should wait for the 1'\1i lliams & !',iocine study so that new
open-space zoning policy can be established.
'!ayor Sennett expressed the opinion that in evaluating the density
permitted in cluster zones or ~p zone a comparison be made of the
actual yield when applied to conventional development so that cluster
zones would not permit a greater unit yield. Develo~ers should not
expect higher densities.
The Director of Community Development presented the ite~ to the Council
and reported the Ordinance had passed first reading and was returned
to the Planning Commission for clarification of their report to the
Council. The Planning Commission at its meeting of July l~, 1972
upheld their initial report and recOMmended no rezoning at this time.
The Commission's consensus was that rezoninq '~uld he miSleading to
the applicant, since in effect, final zoning action cannot be con-

Plan are completed.

no precedent would be set because the appropriateness of the property

Hr. Radomile, representing lire and l1rs. Bodian, spoke to the
matter and stated their only reason for requesting cluster
zoning is for aesthetic reasons and not to increase tile density.
r.1rs. Bodian reminded the Council of the beautiful trees and the
creek on the property which they wished to preserve, and the only
possible method would be with cluster development.
The Director of Community Dev~lopment referred to letters
received from Mr. and rlrs. Christopher Coulsen and from Mr.
Robert Holmes in which they agreed with the cluster concept.
After discussion, tile Chnir directed the Director prepare a
report defining the difference between slope policy and slope
density.
The City Attorney ad2ised in order to rezone property cluster,
findings in Section 10-12F of the Zoning Ordinance must be
met that the development will be superior to that which could
otherwise be met without Clustering.
On motion of Becker, Geconded by Fanming, and there being no
