Subject: RELEASE-Marin Energy Exceeds Carbon Reduction Goals
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 21, 2010
Contact: Dawn Weisz, Interim Director, 415-507-2706
MARIN CLEAN ENERGY FAR EXCEEDS GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION GOALS
A Variety of Clean Energy Sources Will Help Marin Clean Energy Meet an Important Portion of
Its Renewable Energy Promise
SAN RAFAEL-Marin Clean Energy today unveiled the sources for its renewable energy and
announced that it will far exceed its goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause
global warming.
"This is great news as we get ready to celebrate Earth Day," said Marin County Supervisor
Charles McGlashan, chairman of Marin Clean Energy. "Some people have been skeptical that
Marin Clean Energy could achieve its renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction goals
and keep rates the same or lower, but the proof is in the power."
The power that Marin Clean Energy has purchased is 78 percent carbon free, an almost 50%
increase in the percentage of carbon-free energy that MCE officials had originally projected.
Marin Clean Energy also announced that its renewable energy content will reach 35 percent,
with 25 percent having been technically certified by California as renewable. That still achieves
Marin Clean Energy's promise of providing 25 percent renewable energy.
"We will provide 25 percent clean, renewable energy, almost double what the current utility
provides and at the same or lower rates," said Dawn Weisz, Interim Director of Marin Clean
Energy. "We think anytime you can almost double what you're providing and do it at the same
or lower rates that represents a great value for customers."
To achieve its renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction goals, Marin Clean Energy is
purchasing power from a variety of sources, including 37 percent hydro-electric from the Tri-
Dam Power Authority in San Joaquin County. Tri-Dam is a partnership between the South San
Joaquin Irrigation District and Oakdale Irrigation District.
"We're very excited to be partnering with the Tri-Dam Power Authority and the South San
Joaquin Irrigation District," McGlashan said. "Like us, they believe local communities can
provide cleaner, reliable energy at lower rates than the existing private utilities."
In addition to the Tri-Dam energy, Marin Clean Energy will get 9 percent of its power content
from landfill gas in Oregon, 8 percent from wind in Washington and another 5 percent from
4/21/2010
Page 2 of 2
biomass, also from Washington. Another 9 percent will come from a variety of smaller energy
sources that are either certified renewable or eligible for certification. The remainder of power
will come from the state power system. Marin Clean Energy's renewable energy mix also
includes 3 percent renewable energy credits backed by a solar project operated by the South
San Joaquin Irrigation District.
Marin Clean Energy has committed to providing no less than 25 percent renewable energy
from sources like solar, wind, biomass, hydro and geothermal. And MCE's Deep Green
program offers customers the opportunity to sign up for 100 percent renewable energy for a
small additional cost.
"This is a great first step for Marin Clean Energy," McGlashan said. "As Marin Clean Energy
expands, we will be looking to develop a variety of renewable energy generation sources even
closer to home, including from small, rooftop solar, biomass, wind and other sources, that can
even further help reduce Marin's carbon footprint and ensure our rates remain below PG&E's
rates."
The job of delivering energy to customers, however, remains with PG&E, which also will
continue to provide Marin Clean Energy customers with the same customer service, billing and
repair and maintenance.
The Earth Day announcement comes as Marin Clean Energy prepares to start service on May
7. The exact source of energy will vary over time based on seasonal conditions and energy
availability, among other factors.
Marin Clean Energy is a community-based alternative energy program of the Marin Energy
Authority, a publicly approved, not-for-profit joint powers authority composed of County of
Marin and the cities of San Rafael, Mill Valley, Fairfax, Sausalito, San Anselmo, Tiburon and
Belvedere. For more information about Marin Clean Energy, visit www.MarinCleanEnergy.info.

Absent: None
Ex-Officio: Associate Planner Tyler and Minutes Clerk Rusting
B. PUBLIC COMMENTS
A
Vivian Jacobs stated she has attended several DRB meetings because the house in front of her was sold
with Design Review Board approval and it has been an on-going problem. She thinks the system is
broken because of the loss of six staff members and Boardmembers over the past year. She corrected the
information in Tiburon Talk stating that she was accused of being at an event that she did not attend. She
expressed dissatisfaction with the property next to hers and voiced opposition to the DRB process.
C. STAFF BRIEFING
Associate Planner Tyler welcomed new Boardmember Lou Weller to the Design Review Board, and
announced that the April 1, 2010 meeting may be canceled.

E. NEW BUSINESS BEFORE THE BOARD
1. 280 LOMA AVENUE: File No. 709140; John & Kathleen Goodhart, Owner;
Additions with a Variance for Reduced Side Yard Setback and a Floor Area Exception;
The applicant proposes to construct a 500 sq. ft addition, and a 569.3 sq. ft. basement
addition to the existing single-family dwelling. A portion of the addition would encroach
4 feet 3 inches into the required 25 foot rear yard setback and 6 feet 1 inch into the
required 8 foot side yard setback. As the existing dwelling currently exceeds the
maximum gross floor area, a Floor Area Exception has been requested. APN 059-132-
03
The applicant is proposing additions to an existing single-family dwelling with variances for reduced rear
and side yard setbacks and a floor area exception, on property located at 280 Loma Avenue. Currently the
property is improved with a two-story dwelling, with unexcavated area beneath the home.
The main level of the home includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, guest bedroom and bathroom,
storage room and a one-car garage. The upper level of the home includes the master bedroom suite and
study. A deck extends off the main level of the home at the rear of the dwelling.
The proposal would convert the unexcavated space beneath the existing home into additional living area
in the form of a family room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry area and storage. The site plan also indicates a
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #4

retaining wall and glass guardrail to be installed at the rear of the property, in order to create a level
backyard area.
The proposed additions would not result in increased lot coverage, as the areas of additions are within the
existing building footprint. The current dwelling has an existing lot coverage of 2,168 square feet (34.2%)
which exceeds the maximum permitted lot coverage in the R-1 zoning district (30.0%). The proposed
structure would result in a gross floor area of 2,885 square feet, which exceeds the maximum permitted
floor area for a parcel of this size (2,213.4 sq. ft.). A floor area exception has been requested.
In order for the addition of floor area beneath the home to have a more functional square room, a small
portion of the room would encroach four feet, three inches (4'3") into the rear yard setback. A small
portion of the addition would also encroach six feet, one inch (6'1 into the right side yard setback. As
the required rear yard and side yard setbacks in the R-1 zone are twenty-five feet (25') and eight feet (81),
variances for both reduced rear and side yard setbacks have been requested.
Colors and materials of the addition would match the existing structure. The only visible change to the
structure would be the new lower level elevation, below the existing main level deck. This new elevation
would include new windows, doors, and additional siding painted yellow to match the rest of the
dwelling.
Mark Swanson, General Contractor, represented the owner, John Goodhart. He has been working with
the Goodhart's on what he thinks is a straight-forward project for about nine months. The house has an
older foundation and they would like to strengthen the existing foundation and excavate the area beneath
to create additional living space. The Goodhart's have three children and the house is not large enough.
The strategy with the least impact is to expand the house underneath the existing footprint of the house,
level out the rear lawn area so the family can enjoy their property over the years to come, stay within the
deck area, and believe that the addition will not be noticeable without walking up to the house at the rear.
They are requesting permission to extend a small portion of the side and rear into the allowable setbacks
because without that it would create a zigzag pattern in the house as opposed to creating a square room. It
would also allow some sunlight into the space and allow for solar gain. From a construction standpoint,
having lineal walls and foundation would create better structural integrity and would reduce the amount
of waterproofing details that need to go into the project. None of the adjacent neighbors have had any
concerns, mainly because it cannot be seen.
Boardmember Kricensky questioned when the original house was built. Mr. Swanson replied that he
believes it was in the late 1950's.
Boardmember Weller questioned whether the deck was built at the time of the original property or added
later. Mr. Swanson said earlier drawings indicate the deck always existed, though there were some
modifications to the upper floor of the house.
There was no public comment.
Vice-Chair Tollini said Ms. Goodhart is a partner of the firm he works for, but it is a 1,000 person law
firm with 300-400 partners, and therefore minimal conflict of interest. He thinks the arguments offered
by the applicant for practical difficulty are valid and satisfy the findings, and he voiced support for the
project.
Boardmember Kricensky agreed, and noted the addition will not influence anyone while at the same time
make the house more comfortable for a larger family. However, he is struggling with justifying the
practical difficulty.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #4 2
3/18/10
Boardmember Weller agreed the structure will not create a visual problem for the neighbors and is
prepared to support staff, s recommendation to grant the variance. Adding the retaining wall will change
the character of the hillside and he has some concerns about that. He suggested doing everything possible
to limit the effect of the new grade on the topography.
Chair Chong said he visited the project today and it is very obvious that this is an older home looking to
improve. He would much rather see the addition go below the house than above where it could impact
neighbors. He thinks it is a hardship from an engineering perspective to have to design zigzag walls to
comply with a variance. There is a home next door with a similar flattened landscape and he is therefore
not as concerned with the flattening of the yard.
Boardmember Kricensky said there could be better landscaping at the back side of the retaining wall to
cover the scarred area from the excavation. Mr. Swanson pointed out the area is very short and the wall
on the uphill side will be very minimal. It rises on the southeast side of the property to about 5 feet and
they would like to plant grass so the yard is usable. The path behind it is unmaintained area and bushes
and wild blackberries will grow up to it.
Boardmember Kricensky voiced concern about the scar left over from building the retaining wall. Vice-
Chair Tollini said there is a lot of screening; it looks very dense and he is comfortable with leaving it.
Mr. Swanson said the area where the wall will be located is very densely vegetated and he suggested that
if anything were planted there it would probably not survive.
ACTION: It was M/S (Tollini/Kricensky) that the request for 280 Loma Avenue is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, and is approved, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. The age of the house, size of the lot, and engineering difficulties are
sufficient to support the unnecessary hardship finding, and the variances for floor area ratio and setbacks
are granted. Vote: 4-0.

Executive Director
Dan Nackerman
I am writing to request that the Town of Tiburon participate in funding Marin Housing Authority's
Homeless Prevention Program (formerly Rebate for Marin Renter's ) for fiscal year 2010-11. This
program helps to support efforts required in the Housing Element.
Your generous contribution of $4,018 FY 09/10 helped to assist a total of 61 unduplicated
households in the County thus far, with another 10 pending. Marin Housing continues to use the
Marin County 2000 Census population statistics to determine each community's suggested
contribution share to the program. Marin Housing suggests Tiburon's contribution for 2010-11
should be $4,018.
The Homeless Prevention Program serves low income seniors, people with disabilities, and families
with children. The program provides short-term rental assistance to eligible households who are at
imminent risk of homelessness or who are currently homeless and require short-term assistance for
rapid re-housing. For these households, many of whom are paying as much as 90% of their income
for rent, one unexpected emergency can mean the difference between housing stability and
homelessness.
I hope that the Town of Tiburon will once again choose to continue participation in this unique,
locally-controlled Homeless Prevention Program. Please do not hesitate to contact June Miyake,
Director of Supportive Housing, at 491-2577, if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
