CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Frederiks=called the regu meeting of the Tiburon Town Council to order at 7:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, Town Council Chambers, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard,
Tiburon, Calif6tnia.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Berger, Collins, Fredericks, Gram, Slavitz
Town Manager Curran, Director of Community
Development Anderson, Director of Administrative
Services Bigall, Director of Public Works/Town
Engineer Nguyen, Chief of Police Cronin, Town
Clerk Crane Iacopi
Vice Mayor Berger congratulated Alice Fredericks, Jim Fraser and Emmett O'Donnell, on their
successful Council race. He commended all the candidates for conducting campaigns which were
dignified and allowed for airing of the issues. Councilmember Gram seconded his remarks.
Laurie Green, 40-year resident, spoke against the proposed use of "surveillance" cameras along
Tiburon Boulevard. She said that while these kinds of cameras were appropriate in airports,
shopping malls, and toll booths, they seemed out of place in a small, upscale community. She
said she understood the need for greater security since "9/11" but said that most of the crimes
committed here were thefts from automobiles, rather than more serious crimes.
Ms. Green said that the cost of the cameras should be weighed against the following issues:
• Invasion of privacy
• Potential for abuse (of privacy)
• The feeling they would impart that this is an "elite" community
• Creating a chilling negative effect on local merchants
• Persons committing crimes driving stolen vehicles (to avoid identification)
• Costs that far exceed the written estimates for maintenance, training of personnel and
monitoring of the equipment
• The soundness of making such expenditures during a time of economic downturn.
Town Council Minutes #xx -2009 November 4, 2009 Page I
Ms. Green said that these social and fiscal aspects should be considered when the Council hears
the item on November 18, a meeting she said she would be unable to attend.
Al Anolik, Round Hill Road, disagreed. He said that in his job as a security consultant to the
travel industry, he advised clients that the best protection is sophisticated surveillance.
Mr. Anolik said that the equipment specified for the proposed use along Tiburon Boulevard did
not violate the First, Fourth, or Fifth Amendments, in his opinion as a civil rights attorney. He
added that as a concerned resident, he had to ask himself if things would have been different if
these cameras had been in place prior to the recent murder in Tiburon. He urged the Council to
help protect its citizens by endorsing the cameras and giving the police "the additional help we
need" with the installation of security cameras on Tiburon Boulevard.
PRESENTATIONS
1. Marin Commission on Aging (Allan Bortel)
Mr. Bortel also added his congratulations to the newly elected members of the Council. He
thanked the Council for allowing him to continue to serve as the Tiburon representative to the
Marin Commission on Aging.
Mr. Bortel, Chair of the Commission on Aging, brought the Council up to date on its programs
and services for the people of Marin Council, whom he said were comprised of 1 out of 4
residents over the age of 60. Mr. Bortel said that this number was expected to increase to 1 out of
3 by the year 2030. He said in Tiburon alone, the statistic would reach 60% by next year.
At the conclusion of his report, Mr. Bortel directed the Council and the public to various
publications and websites containing information on aging.
2. BERST - the Marin Green Building Energy Retrofit and Solar Transformation
Collaborative (John Kunzweiler)
Mr. Kunzweiler added his voice of congratulations to Mayor Fredericks for her "landslide
victory," and congratulated his colleagues, Fraser and O'Donnell, upon their election.
Planning Commissioner Kunzweiler said that he had been appointed to represent the Town on
the BERST task force whose mission was to study energy efficiency and water conservation. He
said the group was trying to coordinate best practices between the different agencies and
municipalities that were all engaged in solving the significant challenges posed by AB 32,
primarily, the reduction of green house gas emissions by 25% by the year 2020.
Town Council Minutes #xx -2009 November 4, 2009 Page 2
In his power point presentation, Mr. Kunzweiler analyzed various programs and regulations
studied by BERST:
• AB 811 programs (he said the loans for energy efficient installations were not yet
available in Tiburon)
• Title 24 energy efficiency standards (he said in 2010 they would be even more strict)
• CEQA (he said there was talk of making Climate Action Plans part of the General Plan)
• Climate Action Plans (he said they had been the driving force behind the introduction of
new Green Building standards in Tiburon and other Marin cities).
Mr. Kunzweiler said BERST was comprised of 20 people, not all of them bureaucrats, some of
whom were practitioners in the construction and related trades. He said they were working on
checklists and standards with the goal of consistent implementation of new regulations across
Marin. He said the group's goal was to continue its collaboration and review and update the
checklists annually. He said the group also sought feedback from the Council and the public so
that the recommendations would make economic sense. He said the next step was to create a
model ordinance and move the regulations out of the zoning ordinances and into the building
codes. He said that the group would seek local endorsement and adoption, and they would also
submit their recommendations to the California Energy Commission for approval.
During his discussion of "Green Point" systems, Mr. Kunzweiler said that BERST recommended
75 up to 200 points for new construction, including additions and remodels, while Tiburon's
ordinance called for 60 points.
Vice Mayor Berger asked how the recommendations would dovetail with existing LEED
programs. Kunzweiler said that AB 811 was not program specific.
The Vice Mayor cautioned against the growth of a "Green Industrial Complex" that might itself
become a self-sustaining bureaucracy. However, he said that it sounded like the BERST group
was doing a good job of keeping its recommendations in scale with the size of projects.
Kunzweiler added that the Marin Builder's Exchange was working with the group, and that the
recommendations would undergo a technical audit by two groups. He added, however, that the
"clock was ticking" on AB 32 implementation.
Berger said that Green Points are ahead of the industry curve; he setting targets that would allow
people to easily achieve the first goals, and to "go light, not heavy."
Mayor Fredericks agreed. She said that Green Point remodels would improve the overall
efficiency of a structure but she suggested that the task force "not take too big a bite" in setting
its targets.
Town Council Minutes #x- -2009 November 4, 2009 Page 3
Kunzweiler said that local jurisdictions should review the proposed point systems in light of
community standards, but noted that standardization was key.
Councilmember Collins raised the issue of greater Green Point targets for larger homes.
Kunzweiler said that there was a belief that large houses are larger consumers of energy and
should be held to a higher target.
Mayor Fredericks asked if this was based on per capita usage or square footage.
Vice Mayor Berger commented that it was more difficult to bring the numbers down on bigger
homes.
Mayor Fredericks asked for public comment.
David Barker said that all the economic studies he had seen suggested that the cheapest way to
meeting greenhouse gas emission reductions were through conservation measures. He said that it
was a "hell of a lot" cheaper than installing wind, solar, or other forms of energy transmission.
Vice Mayor Berger commented that both would be needed in order to meet the 25% reduction
goal by 2020.
Mayor Fredericks closed the public comment discussion and thanked Mr. Kunzweiler, on behalf
of the Council, for his report.

side of the property in exchange for an equal amount of primary building envelope area
from the northern side of the property - (Community Development Department/
Associate Planner Tyler)

Applicants: Jeffrey and Lori Runnfeldt
Address: 193 Gilmartin Drive
Assessor Parcel No. 039-161-29
Director Anderson gave the report. He said that the application consisted of a "swap" of locations
within the building envelope and that the Planning Commission had approved the requested
amendment, stating that it made sense and was a better location to place the pool on the property.
Anderson said that there were no material impacts on adjacent open space.
Vice Mayor Berger asked if approving the building envelope amendment would result in tacit
approval of the subsequent design for the area. Anderson said no, that the improvements would
require design review approval and the only issue before the Council was that of envelope
location.
Mayor Fredericks opened the public hearing. She asked the applicants' or their representatives if
they wished to speak. They declined. There was no other public comment.
Mayor Fredericks closed the public hearing.
MOTION: To adopt resolution amending the Precise Plan.
Moved: Berger, seconded by Collins
Vote: AYES: Unanimous
ACTION ITEMS
1. Lyford Drive Parking Area - Consideration of project and direction to staff regarding
design (Director of Public Works/Town Engineer Nguyen)
Director Nguyen gave the report. He said that in 1997, an effort between Cal/Trans and the Town
to improve the Lyford Drive parking area had failed because consensus could not be reached on
the scope of the plan, to pave both sides of the road in that location.
The Director said the area would benefit from thorough and thoughtful development and noted
that the current plans for consideration by the Council contemplated developing the southeast
corner only.
Director Nguyen presented three design concepts in his report, with costs that ranged from
$11,000 per parking space to the "gold standard" of $26,000 per space. The latter plan would
allow room for a bus shelter and information kiosk, according to Nguyen.
The Director said that staff had met with the Public Works subcommittee to discuss the proposed
plans. After review of the three plans, the committee recommended a modified version of Plan
Town Council Minutes #xx -2009 November 4, 2009 Page 5
No.2, but with a widened sidewalk area which would allow the sequential installation of certain
design features. Nguyen said that this plan would cost $800,000, or $13,800 per parking space.
The Director said that $370,000 had been placed in the current year budget for the project, and he
anticipated receipt of $314,000 in money from a Clean Air grant. Nguyen added that any
shortfalls would be made up in next year's budget.
Nguyen recommended that the Council review the design options and give staff direction as to its
preferred concept.
Town Manager Curran said that there had also been some discussion with the City of Belvedere
about a cost-sharing arrangement.
Mayor Fredericks noted that the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) had approved a study
of transit corridors in Southern Marin; she said the study suggested improvements, such as a bus
stop and shelter across the street, which were contemplated by the "gold standard" option. She
asked the Director is the Town would need TAM approval to move forward with the planning
phase of this project.
Director Nguyen said that he had already met with members of TAM, who said that the plans for
the Lyford Drive parking area could be integrated into the master plan referenced by Mayor
Fredericks. He said that the Town would not be precluded from receiving any TAM funding if it
moved forward with the project at this time. Nguyen added, however, that in order to receive
grant funding, the project would have to meet "multi-modal" requirements and be pedestrian
friendly.
Councilmember Gram asked whether Option No. 2 met the criteria. Nguyen said that it did not.
Gram asked for clarification of what the project would cost, minus the grant funding. He said it
appeared to him that it would cost the Town $665,000 out of pocket, unless the Town enhanced
the project with a bike rack and other features, in the amount of $135,000.
Town Manager Curran said that the drawings had been developed prior to the Town knowing
that it was eligible for grant funding.
Councilmember Collins said that he preferred Option No. 2 because it could be built for a certain
price initially, and could be expanded in the future.
Vice Mayor Berger said that Option No. 2 was good due to the greater number of parking spaces
but he said the project was also important because it beautified the Town. He said the area now
was unsafe, inefficient, and an eyesore. He said that it would also allow the Town to pave the
area across the street at its own pace.
Berger said that he had seen photographs of the old Hilarita train stop in that location (across the
street). He said that he would be willing to design, pro bono, a bus shelter to match that historic
design.
Town Council Minutes #xx -2009 November 4, 2009 Page 6
Councilmember Slavitz asked the Chief of Police how the design would enhance the safety of
cars trying to exit the parking lot in that location. Chief of Police Cronin said that the sight lines
in the design appeared to be long enough, but that the design specifications were actually up to
Cal/Trans and the Town Engineer to determine.
Town Manager Curran said that staff had talked with Cal/Trans about this issue. She said that the
proposed designs would allow safer turning movements that the ones used now by people
parking in the area.
Mayor Fredericks opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. Mayor Fredericks
closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Gram said the revised ion No. 2 appeared to be the best financial deal for the
Town, with qualified grant funding, and was aesthetically preferable.
Councilmember Slavitz concurred, adding that the idea of the bus shelter across the street
sounded great.
Councilmember Collins asked whether Option No. 3 would require building a retaining wall.
Director Nguyen said yes, but that Option No. 2 would also require a retaining wall, just not as
large. He said that it was a good idea to keep the design of the retaining wall in the plans if the
Town wanted to tie into the road or the Lyford Drive intersection in the future.
Mayor Fredericks asked if the Council's approval was still subject to final negotiations with
Cal/Trans.
Town Manager Curran said that staff contemplated completion of a design, with Council's
direction, go to bid, and work with Cal/Trans to achieve the necessary approvals.
Councilmember Gram asked what kind of contract was contemplated by staff. Director Nguyen
said that staff would send out an RFP to bid on the design.
Mayor Fredericks said that the Town should safeguard its investment in the process. Nguyen said
that all the planning, bidding and negotiating would be done concurrently.
Vice Mayor Berger said that staff should seek a substantial contribution from the City of
Belvedere, whose contractors regularly used the lot for parking.
MOTION

TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT
Town Manager Curran said that the Marin Energy Authority would vote on the proposed ESP
contract at its meeting on November 5. She said that a series of public workshops were being
scheduled, one on December 1 in Mill Valley for Southern Marin, and that the matter would
come before Council again on January 20, 2010. At this meeting, the Council would make its
final decision to stay in the MEA, or opt out.
Vice Mayor Berger asked if the independent analyst would give a presentation on the contract.
Town Manager Curran said that MEA was working now on the details and that a written report
should be available on December 1. She said the consultant would attend the January meeting of
the council, as well.
Councilmember Collins said that it would be a good idea for the new members of the Council to
hear the presentations about Marin Clean Energy more than once, as it was a very complex issue.

Agenda Item: CC, `7
1655 Mar West Street/175 Esperanza Street: Approval of a Two-Lot
Subdivision Parcel Map; Diane Ho, Owner and Applicant; Assessor Parcel
No. 059-051-18; File #60402
This item was pulled from the November 18, 2009 Town Council agenda after a member of the
public posed some questions about the project relating to a typo in the legal description contained
within the Declaration of Restrictions and concerning improvements within the public access
easement located on the parcel.
ANALYSIS
The Typo
There is indeed a typo in the Declaration of Restrictions for the project, wherein Mar East Street
is substituted for Mar West Street in one instance. The error originates in the title report for the
parcel, which the attorney who drafted the Declaration faithfully repeated when drafting the
Declaration of Restrictions. Staff has corrected the typo in the Declaration and alerted the title
company of its error.
The Path Improvements
The Town has held a public access easement over a 20 foot strip of Ms. Ho's. parcel since 1988,
when she deeded it to the Town. The existing pathway is an unimproved dirt trail subject to the
vagaries of weather. In wet times the path become muddy and slippery; in dry times, steeper
parts of the pathway sometimes become slippery due to the presence of leaf litter on the bare dirt
surface that provides no footing traction. As soon as this application was filed, staff identified
improvement of this path with an all-weather surface as a desired public improvement.
During its approval of the Tentative Map in 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed
preliminary improvement drawings for the pathway, made several suggestions, and required that
the final path improvement design be subject to its "review and comment" at a later meeting. The
Commission held its "review and comment" session on October 10, 2007 (see staff report and
minutes for that meeting attached as Exhibit A).
E
The Commission discussed issues of drainage, the adjacent wildflower preserve, fencing,
potential encroachment into the path, and maintaining a largely natural appearance despite the
desired drainage and surface improvements. The Commission expressed satisfaction with the
drawings.
No fencing will be allowed in the easement and the wildflower preserve will not be affected by
the path work, which will be contained entirely within the subject property.
Ministerial Action
Approval of parcel maps is a ministerial (non-discretionary) action under state law. Either a map
is technically correct and complies with the conditions of approval on the tentative map, in which
case it must be approved, or it fails to do so, in which case it should be denied. Staff is unaware
of any evidence that the map is technically incorrect or fails to comply with the tentative map
conditions of approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt this Consent Calendar item. Doing so would:
1. Adopt the Resolution approving the Parcel Map.
2. Authorize the Town Manager to execute and record the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement for the path improvements.
3. Authorize staff to record the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
for the Subdivision.
4. Authorize staff to record the Parcel Map.

BACKGROUND
On March 23, 2005, the Planning Commission conditionally approved a Tentative Subdivision
Map application to split the subject property into two lots that would be deed restricted to a single
family residence on each parcel. One condition on the map approval required that the Planning
Commission "review and comment" on the design of proposed enhancements to the existing
public pathway that connects Mar West Street to Esperanza Street across the subject property.
The pertinent condition of approval is attached as Exhibit 1. Minutes from the Planning
Commission meeting of March 23, 2005 are attached as Exhibit 2.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The existing pathway is an unimproved dirt trail subject to the vagaries of weather. In wet times
the path become muddy and slippery; in dry times, steeper parts of the pathway sometimes
become slippery due to the presence of leaf litter on the bare dirt surface that provides no footing
TOWN OF TIBURON

Tiburon, CA 94920
traction.
EXHIBIT NO.
The proposed pathway improvements (Exhibit 3) call for a five (5) foot wide crushed gravel or
drain rock surface that would be applied to the intended walking surface. The adjacent
unimproved drainage swale, which often overflows and washes out the existing path during
heavy storms, would be lightly improved to prevent such occurrences in the future. New path
signage would be installed at both ends of the path. No fencing would be allowed within the 20-
foor wide easement, although open-wire fencing would be allowed along the easement boundary
to prevent trespass onto the private property.
ANALYSIS
The Town Engineer and Community Development Director have worked with the improvement
plan designer to create an all-weather path that should be fully usable year-round, clearly
delineates the path area, and discourages trespass onto the adjacent private property. Staff
supports the design of the pathway improvements.
In addition, the pathway improvements are consistent with goals and policies of the General Plan
regarding paths and neighborhood connectivity, and are consistent with provisions of the Tiburon
Municipal Code. Staff finds the improvement plans for the pathway area are also consistent with
the Tentative Subdivision Map approval from 2005.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
A mitigated negative declaration was adopted for the subdivision project. The path
improvements were identified as part of the subdivision project and are well within the scope of
the previously-conducted environmental analysis. Therefore, no additional environmental review
is required at this time. All adopted mitigation measures for the project apply.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review and make any comments on the
proposed path improvement design drawings.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. 1655 MAR WEST STREET: APPLICATION FOR A TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP PROPOSING THE DIVISION OF A 229000 SQUARE
FOOT PARCEL INTO TWO LOTS; Diane Ho, owner and applicant;
Assessor's Parcel No. 059-051-18.
Commissioner Fraser recused himself from participation on this item as his residence is
within 500 feet of the subject property. He then left the building.
Assistant Planner Krasnove reviewed the Staff Report. She noted that the public access
easement containing a footpath running from Mar West Street to Esperanza Street would
remain and that the applicant has proposed to enhance the path and make it less
susceptible to erosion as part of the planned improvements.
Commissioner Kunzweiler asked about the square footage of proposed Lot #1 and about
the size of the existing house. Assistant Planner Krasnove replied that the proposed Lot
#1 is 8,005 square foot and that the existing house is approximately 2,132 square feet, not
including the garage and basement. She said that remodeling plans do not propose to add
any additional square footage to this house.
Chair Collins referenced the Staff Report analysis and noted that parking for 4 cars is not
proposed as a condition. Community Development Director said that it is not a standard
requirement in that zone but that it could be added as a condition.
Assistant Planner Krasnove informed the Commission that there is not a specific
restriction on square footage for the proposed single family home on Lot #2 and that
square footage for this home was not specified in the resolution because the applicant has
not submitted a specific design with the exact square footage for the house. She said that
a "not to exceed" condition can be added.
The public comment period was opened.
EXHIBIT NO.A-
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MARCH 23, 2005 MINUTES # 912 Page 2
Mark Groody, project draftsman and representative for property owner, provided an
overview of the project. He noted that some members of the community expressed
doubts about the ownership of the land on which the footpath is located, but confirmed
that the land is owned by Ms. Ho. He said she granted an easement to the Town for
pedestrian purposes years ago. He said that improvements will be made to the path as
well as the adjacent drainage ditch.
Mr. Groody explained to the Commission that the proposed lot layout shows the pathway
entirely within the upper lot, while the alternative lot layout recommended by staff shows
the pathway crossing both lots. He believed that the impact of the project to the
surrounding community would be minimal.
Commissioner Hermann asked if the alternate lot layout would change the square footage
of the house on the second lot. Mr. Groody replied that the building envelope, egress,
and ingress would remain the same.
Mr. Groody informed the Commission that all surface drainage that occurs from
Esperanza Street needs to be diverted from crossing the path and directed into a drainage
swale. He said that a rubble-lined v-ditch has been proposed by the project civil
engineer, but that visually superior alternatives were possible. Mr. Groody explained that
to get the water around the first house, it would need to be piped. He said that the project
civil engineer would provide more specific drawings for how that water will be diverted,
but that it will most likely be diverted under the path and eventually to a catch basin. He
said that the subdivision improvement drawings will have a specific and finite plan as to
how drainage will be dealt with.
Chair Collins noted that Mr. Groody said that not much would have to be done to the
existing building to have it fit on the lot. Mr. Groody replied that if the alternate plan is
adopted, the sun room and some of the porches would not have to be removed.
Mr. Groody stated that the garage will be a 2-car garage and that the plan allows for
additional parking that is not within required setbacks. Chair Collins asked if the
applicant would be willing to provide 2 off-street parking spaces in addition to the
garage. Mr. Groody replied that that the applicant would do so. Mr. Groody confirmed
for the Commission that there is a 20-foot wide easement and the plan proposes a 12-foot
driveway.
Mr. Groody stated that the footpath is worn into the grass and is not clearly defined at
present and that the applicant intends to make it a 4-foot wide delineated path from top to
bottom.
Helen Lindqvist, Tiburon resident and representative for four properties in addition to her
own, said that she is very knowledgeable about the subject property. She said that the
alternate lot split design recommended by Staff seems the most logical and that her big
interest is in preserving the wildflowers and doing something about the existing drainage
problems. Ms. Lindqvist said that the water that comes from the Moitoza Subdivision
and Cazadero Lane goes into an inlet, then under Esperanza Street, and discharges into
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MARCH 23, 2005 MINUTES # 912 Page 3
the wildflower preserve property, resulting in erosion and boggy conditions. She also
said that there are springs near the St. Hilary's property that contribute to the run-off. On
behalf of her homeowner's association, she said that she would not like to see a rip-rap
ditch as proposed by the civil engineer. She spoke about other drainage conditions in the
area adjacent to the project and recommended that all concerned entities work together to
find a solution to the inefficient drainage in the area. She said that the path on Ms. Ho's
property was used in the 1970's as a walking path and that the Town took action to secure
an easement over the path after a serious bicycle accident occurred in the area.
In response to a question by Chair Collins, Ms. Lindqvist said that she is interested in
ensuring that no invasive or non-native species are planted in the area of the project.
Commissioner Hermann posed the question that if there were no non-native plants
planted, a reasonable drainage plan, and the alternate lot layout is approved, would the
HOA be in favor of the project. Ms. Lindqvist replied that they would. She added that
there was also a density issued that concerned the HOA, but that they support the project
as proposed with regards to density. She finished by stating that the Landmarks Society's
interest in the project is largely due. to the wildflower preserve.
Tim Bogan, neighbor of the project, said that he is in favor of the project and that it
would not interfere with his enjoyment of the area.
Mr. Groody addressed Ms. Lindqvist's concerns regarding drainage by stating that the
materials proposed for lining the ditch would make it look inviting and that it would not
be an eyesore. He added that water from the wildflower preserve flows onto the
applicant's property, but none on the water from the applicant's property flows onto the
wildflower preserve. He said that the applicant does not intend to plant anything that will
cause problems for the wildflower preserve.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Hermann said that he believes that the property owner has done a
reasonably good job in addressing the issues raised. He said that he is in favor of the
project, but that he does have an issue with how the V-ditch might look. He said that
anything that can be done to make it look like part of the natural landscape would be
ideal, but that he will leave the overall issue of drainage to be handled by those people
that are more qualified to speak to it.
Commissioner Snow said that he respects the application and that he is confident that the
Town Engineer will handle the issue of drainage appropriately. He said that the lack of
adverse community input speaks well of the application. He stated that he supports the
alternative lot layout.
Commissioner Kunzweiler said that he too supports the alternate layout shown on page 6
of the drawings, and would propose the following amendments to the resolution:
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF MARCH 23, 2005 MINUTES # 912 Page 4
1. Specify the square footage of the new house on Lot #2 and state that it is not to
exceed 2,200 square feet plus a two-car garage.
2. Specify that two off-street parking places are to be included in addition to the
garage. Apron parking is acceptable.
3. Add more specificity to the path and the appearance of the drainage ditch and
make a clear, viable plan that is sensible to the colors and ecology of the area.
Chair Collins endorsed the comments of his fellow commissioners. He asked that a
condition be added stating that there are to be four on-site parking spaces. He asked for a
condition stating that there be no clearing of fire protection on the open space preserve.
Community Development Director Anderson replied that the applicant would not be
allowed to go onto the wildflower preserve to remove vegetation.
Chair Collins suggested that a mitigation measure be added stating that the project
applicant develop a planting palette that includes only noninvasive plant species and a
covenant recorded not to permit planting of any invasive plant species in the future. The
Commission agreed.
Regarding the easement and footpath, Community Development Anderson noted that
Condition F, paragraph 8, requires that final drawing for the drainage ditch and footpath
are reviewed by the Planning Commission and Staff. He said that addressing
"maintenance" issues will be added to this condition.
Chair Collins recommended that the following findings be incorporated into the slope
exception granted by the Town Engineer based on the unique characteristics of the
property:
1. Access to the existing residence from the public street will remain unchanged.
2. New Lot #2 has sufficient area to provide two additional on-site parking spaces
beyond those required by code, which is unusual for Old Tiburon.
3. The parcel is larger than all similarly-zoned lots in the vicinity.
4. Access to new Lot #2 would be direct and level.
5. Slope is not an obstacle to the subdivision.

REQUIRED BY CONDITION OF APPROVAL ON A TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION
MAP; Diane Ho, Owner and Applicant; Assessor Parcel No. 059-051-18
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 10, 2007 MINUTES # 953 pa..C, i
Community Development Director Anderson said about two and a half years ago, the
Planning Commission approved the Tentative Subdivision Map for a lot split at 1655 Mar
West, which was a double frontage lot that also had frontage on Esperanza Street. As
part of the conditions of approval, there was a requirement to improve an existing public
pedestrian path that goes across the property. Currently, it is a dirt track and is subject to
poor weather conditions. The idea was to improve it not only so that it is more of an all-
weather surface but also there was a need to deal with the fact there was going to be
another house built in that vicinity and there was a need to keep the public within the
easement and off the private property.
Anderson stated that he and the Town Engineer have been working with the project
designer on the plan and after several iterations; they have brought forward a plan that is
acceptable to the staff. The condition asks that the Planning Commission review and
comment on the pathway improvements prior to the Parcel Map being deemed complete.
The drawings show an all-weather type surface, 5 feet wide of either crushed gravel or
crushed rock; fencing could be installed along the line of the easement but not within it.
There would be an improved path running the entire length of the pedestrian easement
from where it enters the property at the end of Esperanza Street all the way down to
where Mar West Street meets the property. There would be some improvements to the
drainageway alongside the path, which drainageway currently washes over the trail during
heavy storms. There will be public path signage placed at either end of the path, and some
very small shrubs placed strategically toward the Esperanza terminus in order to keep
people off the driveway that would lead to the garage of the new.residence.
Director Anderson requested any comments or feedback from the Commission on the
installation and/or design of the improvements.
Commissioner Kunzweiler questioned who was responsible for the maintenance of the
path and what processes were in place to ensure maintenance is active. Director
Anderson said the Town is responsible for the maintenance of the path and the Public
Works staff has been responsible performing some minor improvements and weeding the
area, and the Town will continue to be responsible for it.
Commissioner Collins asked to be shown where the three foot high sections of the fence
start and end. Director Anderson requested that Mark Groody, project designer, point
these out on the display drawings on the wall. Anderson explained that what is shown on
the plans is the possibility of placing fencing outside the easement that appears to be
open-wire type fencing and not solid fencing. Mr. Groody pointed out where 3 and 6 foot
sections of the fence were shown on the drawings, and described the drainage and sewer
line improvements related to the building.
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES October 10, 2007 MINUTES # 953 Page 2
Commissioner Collins asked if the improved drainage ditch would work in concert with
other nearby improvements, and the applicant described the erosion trough and stated that
some ground cobble would be embed into the side of it, which would allow for proper
drainage.
There were no public comments.
Commissioner Kunzweiler voiced his support, felt maintenance of the pathway was well
covered, ensured the wildflower area on the hill would be preserved and he felt the
project was appropriate.
Vice Chair O'Donnell agreed, hoped the improvements to the ditch are made as natural as
possible and also maintain the character of the area and pathway.
Commissioner Collins supported the project and had no specific comments.
Chair Aguirre said the project seems like an appropriate and non-invasive approach to the
improvements, and supported it.

into consideration. Vote: 4-0-1 (Fraser absent).

Minutes of September 12, 2007, as amended. Vote: 4-0-1.
Regarding the Alta Robles Field Trip, Director Anderson said the applicant is still trying
to work on pulling it altogether. It is about an $80,0004100,000 job to get the story poles
erected and it takes a long time. There is a lot of survey and placement work involved and
they may not be ready before the end of the month. The field trip would also be publicly
noticed and members of the community may also be present, so there are some liability
issues to be addressed. He said Staff intends to notice the field trip, with a back-up
cancellation date established in the case of rain. The Commission discussed dates and
suggested November 14, 2007, at 2:30 in the afternoon, as the Planning Commission's

Subject: 1655 Mar West Street/175 Esperanza Street: Approval of a Two-Lot
Subdivision Parcel Map; Diane Ho, Owner and Applicant; Assessor Parcel
No. 059-051-18; File #60402
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND
The Town has received a parcel map application from Diane Ho that would subdivide a .51-acre
parcel into two separate lots with different street frontages located at 1655 Mar West Street and
175 Esperanza Street. Parcel A would have an area of 10,085 square feet and Parcel B would
have an area of 12,005 square feet. An existing single-family dwelling exists on proposed Parcel
A, while proposed Parcel B is vacant. The property is located within the Lyford Cove/Old
Tiburon Subdivision (Lyford's Hygeia), dating from 1894.
The Planning Commission approved the Tentative Subdivision Map application for this project
on March 23, 2005, and issued a time extension on March 12, 2008.
ANALYSIS
The Town Engineer and Planning Division Staff have reviewed the parcel map and have found it
in conformance with the approved Tentative Map, and State and local subdivision regulations.
Approval of a parcel map is a ministerial action and is exempt from CEQA. There are no offers
of dedication associated with this map, although the pre-existing public path connecting
Esperanza Street to Mar West Street across the property, which was deeded by Ms. Ho to the
Town in the 1980's, will be substantially improved as part of the project in place of assessing
park and recreation in-lieu fees.
RECOMMENDATION
By adopting this Consent Calendar item, the Town Council will be:
1. Adopting the Resolution (Exhibit 1) approving the Parcel Map.
2. Authorizing the Town Manager to execute and record the Subdivision
Improvement Agreement for the path improvements (Exhibit 2).
3. Authorizing staff to record the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
