RESOLUTION NO. 6\
RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO RESTRICT PARKING ON PORTIONS OF
PORTO MARINO DRIVE IN ORDER TO QUALIFY IMPROVEMENTS FOR
MATCHING CREDITS UNDER THE COLLIER-UNRUH ACT.
WHEREAS, the City of Tiburon has previously submitted to the Division of
Highways, State of California, a request for deviation authorization for
Project No. I, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Highways, District 4, by letter of February 24,
1965, rejected the appl ication on the grounds that the City has not
furnished sufficient additional information supporting justification of
the sub-standard 36-foot wise, two-lane street; and
WHEREAS, it now appears that the City can remove these objections by
means of certain findings and commitments,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOllOWS:
That the Council of the City of Tiburon finds that the mountainous terrain
which is characteristic of most of the city is particularly pronounced at
the point of the proposed improvement and that to provide wider rights-of-
way and standard width pavement would be not only unreal istical Iy expensive,
and therefore extravagant in the use of gas tax funds, but would also do
great harm and mischief to the entire city by reason of causing extensive and
unsightly hi I Iside cuts;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Counci I of the City of Tiburon finds
that the specifications of the Project I appl ication, as amended, represent
not only the maximum width and characteristics which would be compatiable
with the enviornment of the community, but also that they wi I I be adequate
to provide for al I foreseeable future traffic, particularly as other feeder
roads are opened up pursuant to the approved SELECT CITY STREET SYSTEM;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Counci I of the City of Tiburon does
agree that upon completion of the proposed improvement of Porto Marino
Drive it wit I prohibit parking on one side of the street, to be determined
by the City Engineer, in order that two ful I twelve-foot wide lanes may
be maintained at al I times, if and when the project is accepted and approved
by the Division of Highways for matching credits.
