CRONIN Chief of Police ()IG~ ~8-,. January 26, 2009 Dear Tiburon Resident, The Town has received a petition from a large group of parents of school children in your neighborhood requesting pedestrian safety improvements to the intersection at Blackfield and Cecilia Drive. Specifically, they have requested crosswalks and stop signs at the intersection. Pursuant to that request the Town commissioned a "warrant" study to determine if stops signs were warranted by traffic conditions. Warrant studies consider several criteria contained in state and federal traffic safety and engineering guidelines. Typically they include collision history, vehicle and pedestrian volume and vehicle speed among others. Based on the established criteria, the study concluded that stop signs were not warranted. This does not however, preclude installation of signs by local officials for reasons other than the criterion used in the study. In this case the combination of safety concerns expressed by parents and the Town's support for increased pedestrian and bike use has inclined us to accede to the request and install stop signs and crosswalks. In instances where the Town considers changes that impact a neighborhood or significant numbers of residents it is our policy to notify those living in the affected area and solicit their comments before any decisions are finalized. Since the installation of stop signs has the potential for causing minor delays at peak traffic periods we are requesting your input before proceeding. If you have any comments or suggestions, please email me(lncronin@.ci.tiburon.ca.us) or the Town Traffic Engineer, Nick Nguyen, (nnguven@ci.tiburon.ca.us) by February 28, 2009. \_' '. r~) ~i~_~~ Micha 1.

RECEIVED JAN 3 0 2009 TOWN MANAGERS OFFICE TOWN OF TlBURON January 26, 2009 Dear Sir or Madam, On behalf of California State Parks and the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, we are proud to announce the Grand Re-Opening of the U.S. Immigration Station at Angel Island on Sunday, February 15, 2009. Over the past three years, this former "Ellis Island of the West" has gone through an extensive $15 million dollar restoration that significantly upgraded historic structures and added a series of new interpretation panels and displays that dramatically and vividly highlight the true-life stories of this historic station. We are grateful for your consistent support for the restoration efforts and we would be honored if you could join us on Angel Island on this important day. In order to attend the dedication ceremony, which is from 10:30 a.m. to Noon, you must take the Blue and Gold ferry from San Francisco's Pier 41 at 8:45 a.m. or the Angel Island Tiburon ferry from its dock at 21 Main Street, Tiburon, at 8:50 a.m. There are reduced rates for the ferries. Upon arrival at Ayala Cove, you can tour the visitor's center and have refreshments at the cafe. We encourage you to go on a scenic one mile walk to the Immigration Station. However, if you desire transportation, trams will leave at 10 a.m. to take you to the Immigration Station. The dedication ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a series of short speeches by elected representatives, state park officials, and community members. The ceremony ends with a ribbon cutting at the Detention Barracks accompanied with Chinese lion dancers. You will be driven back to Ayala Cove and will be able to return to Tiburon by 12:40 p.m. You are also welcome to stay longer and tour the Detention Barracks to view the poetry on the walls. From 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., the public will be invited to tour the Immigration Station and enjoy a series of cultural performances and community speakers on the grounds of the Administration Building. We expect hundreds of people to attend the ceremony and the Bay Area media have already expressed great interest in covering the event. Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan to join us on Sunday, February 15. Please contact Julie Phuong at (415) 262-4429 or via e-mail at jphuong@aiisf.org to confirm.

January 28,2009 JAN 2 9 2009 ~ Interested Parties I PLANNING DIVISION J Marin Municipal Water District 220 Nellen Avenue, Corte Madera, California 94925 DA TE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Sugar Loaf Tank Replacement Project - Tiburon Comment Period: This is to advise that the Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD), serving as lead agency, has prepared an Initial Study (IS) of Environmental Impact to: (1) identify potential environmental impacts that might result from the proposed project; (2) determine whether any such environmental impacts can be mitigated to a level of insignificance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and (3) determine whether a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is the appropriate level of CEQA review for the proposed project. MMWD is forwarding the IS/Proposed MND to appropriate agencies and interested parties for review and comment in compliance with the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations (CCR), sections 15063(g) and 15071. As mandated by state law, the minimum public review period for this document is 30 days. Prior to project approval, MMWD will consider all written comments regarding the proposed MND that are received by 4:30 p.m. on February 27, 2009, as required in the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Section 15074(b). The proposed MND and supporting studies are available for review at MMWD's office located at 220 Nellen Avenue, Corte Madera, California. Please contact Dain Anderson at MMWD by mail at the above address, by email at danderson@marinwater.org, or by phone at (415) 945-1586. Adoption of MND by MMWD: Adoption of the Proposed MND will be considered at the regularly scheduled meeting of the MMWD Board of Directors on March 18, 2009, at the District office, 220 Nellen Avenue, Corte Madera, California. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Location: The Sugar Loaf Tank site is located on Place Moulin in the Town of Tiburon, California (Figure 1). Title and Description: Sugar Loaf Tank Replacement. MMWD proposes to replace an existing redwood water tank, known as the Sugar Loaf Tank, with two new welded steel tanks. The existing tank has a capacity of 100,000 gallons and was installed in 1964. The tank is in poor condition and is being replaced as part of MMWD's ongoing Redwood Tank Replacement Program. The existing Sugar Loaf Tank is 30 feet in diameter and 23 feet tall from existing grade. The proposed new tanks would have capacities of 127,000 gallons each (combined storage capacity of 254,000 gallons). The new tanks would be 32 feet in diameter and 23.5 feet tall from finished grade. One of the new tanks would overlap the position of the existing tank (Figure 2). The proposed new tank that would not overlap the existing tank would be constructed and placed into service before the existing tank is removed and the second new tank is constructed. The new tanks would be constructed atop new ring wall foundations and would be bolted to the foundations. The level portion of the site would be expanded by excavation of a portion of the site. A retaining wall would be required to retain the hillside behind the tank and to provide access around the tanks. It is anticipated that the excavation would result in. approximately 300 cubic yards of material being removed from the site. Runoff from the tank site would be collected and directed to the current tank overflow location. Tank overflow piping would be replaced but overflow and runoff would be directed to the same location as with the existing tank. The tanks would be encircled with an 8-foot tall vinyl coated no-climb chain link fence with three strands of barbed wire. Two 12-foot wide gates along the Place Moulin frontage would be installed to provide access to the site. Fencing would be in accordance with existing District practice. Determination: MMWD has prepared an Initial Study, and on the basis of that study, has . determined that the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, but that there would not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been agreed to by the project proponent. A Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. Figure 1: Location Map wi Regional Inset { .:' '. .........~ -~_'I ;if-Or , (tfi"/ -~--; I , , " J1 I '~!

The remodel includes the removal of the calf barn that is now being used as an equipment shed. Three of our Commissioners visited the Corporation Yard and looked at the calf barn in question. At our meeting on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 it was put on the agenda for discussion. It is the consensus of the Commission that salvaging the lumber, and then using it in a new building would be a good way to incorporate the prized redwood. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

MEETING CALL TO ORDER President Lester determined that a quorum was present and called for order at 7:30 PM in the Community Resource Center of The Hilarita Apartments. A Holiday treat: Cherry Reilly, Administrator, served cups of hot apple cider. Thank you Cherry, this warmed us all on such a "Chilly night. 3. OPEN FORUM 1. Victoria Tuorto, resident, lamented over trees providing shade to her residence are tagged for removal. She then read from a petition signed by seventy plus residents who are against the trees being removed. She said that she was able to obtain the arborist's proposal from The Town office and noted that there is no notation regarding these trees being removed now. Charles Quick, Chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, said that misinformation is rampant with the residents which makes for inaccurate information to begin with. He read from another report from the arborist which indicates, as discussed previously, trees that pose a structural hazard are scheduled for removal. However, the plan is to first plant trees in the area and let them gain some maturity before the removal of the older trees unless, of course, said trees present a current hazard. There was discussion on the method of tagging the trees~ the preference of residents to top, trim, or window the trees. And, Chris Darling said that there has not been any discussion on this with Buildings and Grounds Committee thereby compromizing this matter. Mr. Quick stated that "all of the actions we (this Board) take are for the benefit of the residents and that it is the duty of H- TEA to maintain and protect this property:' Linda Tilton, JSC, explained what has taken place to date. The residents' conception regarding these trees is not in line with the arborist's report concerning replacing some at some time. < 1 > 2. Chris Darling, resident, advised that he had received a memo from the HRA regarding the elections in January, asking for recommendations for nominations. He is concerned that the process will produce problems as in the past. President lester read the league of Women's Voters (lWV) rules regarding elections, as included in the Bylaws, and H- TEA assures that HRA will follow these rules before any HRA person is seated on this Board. Also, Mr. Darling advised that some HRA members of the H- TEA Board had stated concerns to him over the fact that the Committees on which they serve have not held regular meetings to allow for any group discussions. In discussion, it was noted that the Committees hold meetings when there is a topic that needs attention, and that to hold a meeting without specifics would be a waste of time for all of the Committee members. 2. MINUTES OF THE NOVEMBER 10.2008 MEETING In the call for approval of the minutes, a correction of St. Stephen's address is to be made to show as 3 Bay View. There being no further comments, it was: M/S/P (B. Garcia-Romero/C. Quick) that the Board approve the November 10, 2008 minutes as amended. 4 ayes, 3 abstain 4. CORRESPONDENCE & ANNOUNCEMENTS 1.

The HILARITA RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION (HRA) REPORT Meets e~1Y third Monday of the month at 7:30 PM in the Esther Whitman Community Center Angela Lorenze reported that: 1. that the Election Committee will not work with L WV due to a possible conflict of interest between a resident and the LWV. President Lester advised that he had called LWV to look into this allegation and did not find any thing to support HRA's position. 2. HRA is requesting $1,000 to cover the expenses of the election. In discussion of this funding request, Ms. Lorenze listed some items to be covered such as the amount due to the monitoring organization, postage, envelopes, etc. It was suggested that HRA could be reimbursed for actual expenditures from its Security Deposit interest account. Without further discussion, it was: M/S/P (D. Leary/C. Weichel) that an advance be made in the amount of $1,000 subject to receiving a proposal budget from the HRA Election Committee. Unanimous. 3. HRA will next meet on December 30,2008. <2> 4. the 'garden' now is fenced and roto-tilled, and work should begin soon with the planting phase. 6.

He recommended that the Planning Commission adopt the draft Resolution denying the conditional use permit. Chair O'Donnell opened the public hearing. Bill Lukens, President of the Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon Homeowners Association, questioned and confirmed that the public hearing related to the denial of the conditional use permit.

Valets and customers who park their own cars 6ften can overwhelm. . .

Planning Manager Watrous stated that staff is currently reviewing the administrative draft of the EIR and he expects the draft EIR will be circulated within the next several months. Chair O'Donnell asked for clarification on the Library Expansion project as he was under the impression there would be no Planning Commission involvement. Planning Manager Watrous explained that the Town Council had previously adopted a streamlining policy that did not involve Commission review of the project, but the project has evolved and the Planning Commission would likely at least have a role in the scoping and review of the EIR.
