One of the points we did not make at the meeting was the fact that we are not altering the signage at Frank Howard Allen, we are merely updating the display case that has been on our building for many years and has displayed photographs of the homes we have listed. We have simply changed the method of presenting our homes to the public which we feel is far more tasteful. The display is not a moving video - merely the same still photographs displayed in a different format, a monitor, rather than paper. The reception of our new display of homes has been nothing but positive. Also, looking at environmental issues, our presentation is paperless and aesthetically pleasing, unlike many of the other real estate companies, we create no waste or litter. The definition of a display case is a cabinet which displays objects for viewing. A sign is the name of the company displayed on the exterior of the building. Frank Howard Allen's sign, on the building for many years easily fits into the "Sign Ordinance". We do not believe our display case, also on the building for many years, falls under the jurisdiction of the "Sign Ordinance." Respectfully, The Agents and Manager at Frank Howard Allen Tiburon • 1660 Tiburon Boulevard • Tiburon CA 94920 • Phone: 415.435.1000 • Fax: 415.435.1671 • www.fhallen.com A 41 TOWN OF TIBURON OFFICE OF DESIGN REVIEW MONTHLY REPORT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD APPLICATIONS: NUMBER SUBMITTED ■ NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES 0 ■ MAJOR ADDITIONS/ALTERATIONS 0 ■ MINOR ADDITIONS/ALTERATIONS 1 ■ (not eligible for Staff Review) ■ SIGN PERMITS ■ TREE PERMITS ■ VARIANCE REQUESTS ■ FAR EXCEPTIONS REQUESTS ■ EXTENSION OF TIME STAFF REVIEW APPLICATIONS: Review of minor exterior alterations and additions of less than 500 square feet. 1 0 2 0 0 4 2009 0 1 2 0 1 1 1 0 6 APPEALS OF DESIGN REVIEW BOARD DECISIONS TO TOWN COUNCIL Bernheim/Straub - Appeal from Design Review Board approval of a new single family dwelling at 1490 Vistazo West Street 1 0 REPORT PREPARED BY: Connie Cashman, Planning Secretary DATE OF REPORT: July 7, 2010 DIGEST O ~ G i- N et co w to r r r w I- O Q M O N N d W D 0 z O 0 U N 0 co J 'Q m W C~ D Q U W > W W IX Z z O N O O O co M O O O N C CO W a w z -'j O O O N O IT 0) W O O O Lf') LO r a) O M y N N N Ci.

ROLL CALL Present: Winkler, Leighton, Feldman and Sperber Absent: McMullen Ex-Officio: Director of Public Works Nguyen ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Ms. Eva Buxton expressed her concerns about people walking dogs off-leash in the Open Space, particularly the professional dog-walkers. She is concerned about the sensitive species found on the Middle Ridge trail and would like POST to consider the matter. She has called the Police Department in the past to enforce the Town's ordinance. Director Nguyen indicated that open space regulation signs can be re-installed if they have been removed, and that he can work with Ms. Buxton on appropriate infonnational signage for the sensitive species. Ms. Buxton further raised a concern of mountain biking on the trails as it relates to the sensitive species. The Bicycle Subcommittee was tasked to research this matter. Ms. Buxton concluded with her concern of residents planting in public open space. Director Nguyen suggested she report the incident when she sees it. COMMISSION AND STAFF BRIEFING ■ Director Nguyen updated the commission on the progress of the Cypress Hollow Park improvement and the Zelinsky Playground project. He indicated that both projects have been completed. Tiburon Parks, Open Space & Trails Commission November 17, 2009 Page 1 Approved Minutes SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT ■ Commissioner Leighton gave an update. He indicated that the Bay Trail Commission is open to the idea of analyzing the feasibility of installing a trail from Blackfield Dr to Blackies Pasture. The Town would need to apply with the BTC to perform this work. Commissioner Leighton indicated that he would work with Director Nguyen to submit the application. BUSINESS ITEMS Item 1 - MCBC Complete Streets Discussion: After discussion, the Commission requested that staff inform MCBC of its decision to forego support of a Complete Streets resolution at this time, primarily because specific guidelines have nit yet been adopted by the State of California, and there is extensive language in the Town's adopted Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan that achieves the same results. ■ Item 2 - McKegney Green Usage - After discussion, the Commission appointed Commissioners McMullen and Sperber to study the issue. ■ Item 3 - Ferry Plaza Motorcycle Parking - After discussion, the Commission requested staff to come back at the next regular meeting with accident statistics relevant to this issue.

Walsh, CPA To: Marin County Board of Supervisors Director of Finance Marin County Cities Marin County Independent Special Districts Re: Allocation of Net LAFCO Operating Expenses per AB 2838 Under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (AB 2838), it is the responsibility of County Auditors to determine the individual expense allocation of each county, city, and independent special district pursuant to this law. The following spreadsheet indicates the expense allocations of the county and each city and independent special district for FY 2010-11. The net cost of LAFCO was allocated to the cities and district on the basis of their proportional share of their "total revenue" as reported to the State Controller as provided under Government Code Section 56381 et seq. This section also provides that in the alternative, the net operating costs may be allocated differently, if approved by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors, majority of the cities (by population) and majority of the special districts (by population). Included herewith is also the approved FY 2010-11 budget for the Marin County Local Agency Formation Commission as adopted by their governing board on May 13, 2010. This letter and its attachments are provided for your information only. A separate county invoice will be prepared and sent to you in connection with this requirement. Please review as to the accuracy of the attached spreadsheets and notify us by July 14, 2010 if there should be any adjustments required. The invoices will be mailed on July 19, 2010 with a due date of August 19, 2010. Please feel free to contact Edmond Dea at (415) 499-6163 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Bryon A.
