Gram, Seconded by Slavitz AYES: Unanimous REGULAR AGENDA (8) Request by Committee to Rebuilt Reed Schools - Resolution in Support of Measure C - Reed Union School District $38 Million Facilities Bond Measure ,..... (a) A Resolution of the Town Council of the Town ofTiburon In Support of Measure C for the Reed Union School District $38 Million Facilities Bond Measure Reed Union School District Superintendent Chris Carter said passage of the bond measure would ensure that the District's facilities matched its excellent programs and would augment them by adding two new libraries, new classrooms and special education facilities, as well as provide facilities for the Jt. Recreation Department. Carter said that use of the funds would be managed not only by the RUSD Board, but by a Citizens Oversight Committee, as well. Ms. Carter noted the problems with existing, aging facilities. She also said the District must keep pace with the projected 30% population growth based on the year 2000 birth rate. Vice Mayor Matthews asked Ms. Carter if the bond measure included building a new gymnasium. Ms. Carter said that it did not, only that air conditioning would be added to the existing Del Mar gym. Mayor Thompson, who said he was on the bond measure committee, commended Ms. Carter and noted for the public the fact that .Bel Aire School had received a Presidential Blue Ribbon Award, one of only 260 awarded nationwide. - Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October3, 2001 Page 2 , - Councilmember Slavitz also commended Ms, Carter and said the District was lucky to have her in charge of its programs, MOTION: Moved: Vote: To adopt resolution in support of Measure C Slavitz, seconded by Gram AYES: Unanimous (9) Recommendation by Finance Director - Reallocation of Un allocated Reserve Proceeds Finance Director Stranzl noted that it was customary for the Town Council to review the status of the 'Town's General Fund Reserves annually and to reallocate reserves based upon adopted policy guidelines and projected operating and capital improvement program requirements. Stranzl said the financial statements for year-end 2000-01 showed a General Fund Reserve balance of$4,183,000, of which $2,290,000 was in unallocated reserves. He noted the Town's Financial Policies, adopted in July, required no less than a 25% reserve balance. After meeting with the Town's Finance Committee, Director Stranzl reported that the Town Council would be presented with a five-year capital improvement plan at the beginning of the new fiscal year, and that the following recommendations were made: . Reallocate $983,000 among the General Fund reserves and to transfer $150,000 from the r- General Fun Unallocated Reserve to the Long-Range Planning Fund in order to properly fund the General Plan project update. . Establish a new Designated Reserve Fund called "Traffic System Reserve" to be used for traffic circulation and signalization improvement projects. . Rename certain Reserve Funds to better reflect their purpose and intended use, Stranzl asked for authorization to transfer $887,000 from the Town's unallocated reserved to designated reserves, adjust certain existing reserves, and to rename certain funds, as follows: . Capital Equipment Replacement ($118,000) . Capital Outlay (renamed Infrastructure & Facility) $150,000 . Employee Housing Assistance $100,000 . Park Improvement (formerly Park Development) $143,000 . Public Works Corp. Yard Replacement (formerly Improvement) $ 90,000 . SelfInsurance $( 128,000) . Disaster Response (formerly Storm Damage) $ 0 . Drainage (formerly Streets and Drainage) $200,000 . Traffic System (new) $300,000 Mayor Thompson opened and closed the public hearing. There was no public comment. Councilmember Gram commented on the recent economic downturn due to national events and - Town Council Minutes #25-2001 October 3, 2001 Page 3 - said it would be prudent to "step back and look at" the Town's fiscal position. He noted the Town's reliance on hotel revenues and other sources of income. Town Manager McIntyre and Finance Director Stranzl said that Staff would prepare a report on the economic trends and their effect on the Town. Stranzl said that there had already been a slow-down in construction activity. MOTION: To approve the reallocation and fund transfers and renaming of certain funds as stated above. Bach, seconded by Matthews AYES: Unanimous Moved: Vote: (10) Recommendation by Town Attorney - Proposed Noise Regulation in Downtown Area Town Attorney Danforth said the report had been prepared at Council's request to address complaints mainly from Corinthian Island residents concerning noise emanating from the downtown area. She said that the Chief of Police and Planning Director had also collaborated on the report and their recommendations were based, in part, on meetings with local business owners and residents. r--. Ms. Danforth noted that the downtown area had long been home to bars, restaurants and a marina. At the July 18 Town Council hearing on noise issues in the downtown area, a suggestion had been made to regulate decibel levels. After researching this form of regulation by other jurisdictions, Staff had concluded that it was neither simple nor easy to enforce and that it was very labor intensive. As a result, Ms. Danforth said, many laws regulating decibel levels were in fact not enforced. Town Attorney Danforth said the recommendations compiled by Town Staff would be more effective because they proposed regulating the activities which caused the noise and about which the complaints were tallied. She went on to list the categories of noise that were the object ofthe complaints by residents and possible solutions. Danforth said that Staff recommended further limiting the hours when commercial vehicles and garbage trucks could be on Main Street due to complaints about early morning disturbance. The Town could also limit the hours of use of cleaning equipment, however, Ms. Danforth posed the question of whether the community would be better served by allowing such vehicles on the street during normal business hours. Danforth said that Staff also recommended continued enforcement of the existing hours of construction activity. She said the Town prohibited construction noise before 7:00 a.m. and imposed fines of $500 for the first offense, and one, two and three thousand dollars per subsequent offense. - Town Council Minutes #25-2001 October 3, 2001 Page 4 CE . r- As to noise emanating from the Corinthian Yacht Club, Ms. Danforth noted that the facility was not located within the Town ofTiburon and therefore was not subject to its regulations. She said one possible solution was to seek cooperation for regulation from the City of Belvedere. Ms. Danforth noted that the Town issued permits for amplified music and any violation of the current ordinance would result in a fine of$103. She suggested that the Council could expand the ban on amplified music to residential areas since it currently only applied to commercial areas. As to "loud" boats at the marina, the Town Attorney pointed out that the Town lacks the resources to enforce regulations vessels on the water, and only has authority to regulate vessels in Tiburon waters. She also noted that the problem mainly occurred on the weekends. In addressing the complaint about noise from collection of recyclables late at night, Ms. Danforth said that Staff thought the best solution would be to ask the restaurants to secure their materials voluntarily since catching the "independents" was not an easy thing to do. Finally, Ms. Danforth addressed the issue of noise from gas-powered leaf blowers and once again pointed out that the Town had existing regulations governing them. She said that Council could consider further regulation as a matter of policy. In summation of the above, Danforth suggested that Council could direct Staff to: - 1. Prepare an ordinance prohibiting operation of refuse collection trucks and commercial vehicles on Main Street between the hours of 10:00 p.m, and 7:00 a,m.; 2. Educate the public regarding existing regulations of other noise sources and appropriate means of enforcing those regulations; and 3. Work with the downtown businesses and Mill Valley Refuse to develop a means of securing recyclable materials until they can be collected. Councilmember Slavitz asked if Staff had considered expanding the early morning garbage collection ban beyond the downtown area, Danforth said that Staff had considered it but said it was like "squeezing a balloon" because they would only start earlier somewhere else. She also pointed out that Mill Valley Refuse franchise agreement allowed garbage collection between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., which was industry standard. Mayor Thompson opened the public hearing. Ron Riskin, Corinthian Island resident. spoke against regulation based on specifics and said it would be preferable to have an ordinance similar to other jurisdictions that described what is "reasonable" and "not reasonable" when it came to noise and decibel levels. Riskin said that he and his neighbors were concerned about the combination of unreasonable noise at unreasonable hours, - Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 5 . -. He questioned how effective Staff's recommendations might be when he said they had been unable to substantiate the claim by residents that Mill Valley Refuse in fact was collecting garbage before 7:00 a.m. contrary to a verbal agreement with the Town. Riskin said he was jogging at 5:25 a.m. and had witnessed a truck loading garbage on Corinthian Island at 5:25 a.m. He read an excerpt from the Mill Valley ordinance, which contained prohibitions on "willfully making noise that disturbs a 'reasonable person. m He urged Council to give the Tiburon Police Department some reasonable way to deal with these problems. Town Attorney Danforth said that Staffhad looked carefully at the Mill Valley ordinance, which was 14 pages long. Councilmember Slavitz asked Chief of Police Odetto whether he thought the lack of a noise ordinance was inhibiting Tiburon police officers from enforcement of Town regulations. Chief Odetto said it was preferable to identifY what was causing the noise first. He agreed with Mr. Riskin that 2:30 a.m, was an "unreasonable" hour for noise of any kind. George Landau, Sugarloaf Drive, said it was not just sleep that was disturbed. He said that gas. powered leaf blowers disturbed those who work at home during the day and gave the example of 14 "normal communities" that had banned them. He asked the Council to do the same. r- Bill Lukens, President of Lyford's Cove/Old Tiburon Homeowners' Association, said amplified music emanating from the Corinthian Yacht Club and Guaymas Restaurant was a problem for people who liked to sleep after 10:00 p.m. He asked Council to ban amplified music after 10:00 p.m., including weekends. Mayor Thompson asked Staff to clarifY the Town's policy on amplified music. Town Attorney Danforth said that amplified music that could be heard more than 50 feet away from its source was in violation ofthe Town code. Danforth said that the Town rarely issued permits for amplified music. She stated that when the Tiburon Police received complaints pertaining to loud noise or parties, they e usually went to the address and asked the residents to mitigate the problem. She stated that this approach was generally successful. Mr. Lukens contested the statement that permits were rarely issued and said that even if there was a permit, the music could still be too loud. He said the sound of music from the open deck at Guaymas and Corinthian Yacht Club could be heard at his home even though he had double. paned windows. Town Attorney Danforth suggested that Mr. Lukens call the police if the music was audible from more than 50 feet. - Town Council Minutes #25-2001 October 3, 2001 Page 6 L ,,-.. Fred Mayo, 60 Eastview, Corinthian Island, said he agreed with Mr. Riskin and said that noise during the night was a "quality oflife" issue for he and his neighbors. George Swift, 71 Eastview, 40 year resident, said he had sent hundreds ofletters to the Town over the years concerning the noise issue, and said what was needed was an "ordinance with teeth." He said the police had told him repeatedly that they had no basis for enforcement and suggested that Council adopt an ordinance on a lO-month trial basis. Mr. Swift said he agreed with the recommendation that came as a result of meetings with Town Staff, Mill Valley Refuse, and downtown businesses, to keep garbage trucks and commercial deliveries off Main Street until 8:00 a.m. He suggested controlling the music at Guaymas and Corinthian Yacht Club by keeping it "confined within the walls." Swift still complained ofloud cigarette boats and said that restaurants or the Town could be liable if the operators were drunk and struck other vehicles. Alice Strauss, 1819 Mar West, said the downtown area had a long history of providing entertainment and suggested that the Town let the "youngsters" have some fun, - Jim Iavarone, Mill Valley Refuse, said he had no opinion about an ordinance per se, but said the company did in fact have a verbal agreement with the Town not to collect refuse on Main Street before 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. on weekends and holidays. However, he said that agreement pertained to downtown only and that Corinthian Island collection, which took place twice a week, started as early as 5:30 a.m. as part of the franchise agreement, Mr. Iavarone explained to Council and the public the reasons for early garbage collection when the streets were deserted which allowed them to work better and faster. He said the trucks had to get in and out of commercial lots before they filled up. In response to a question from Mayor Thompson, he said there were two trucks that came to Tiburon to serve the residential areas, one for the commercial areas, and a smaller truck for narrow streets and driveways. In addition to these vehicles, Mr. Iavarone said there were "green can" trucks every other week as well as recycling trucks that came to the Peninsula. Iavarone said that Mill Valley Refuse opened its doors at 4:30 a.m. The drivers then had to go to the dump to get rid of their loads collected the day before and then went to their appointed route locations and collected from approximately 5:30 a,m, untilll :30 a,m, Councilmember Slavitz asked if additional trucks could be added in order to start collection time at 7:00 a.m. III - Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 7 r' Mr. Iavarone said that the company just went through a reorganization and staff reduction. He also said that more trucks would cost more to the ratepayer. However, he said that point was that the early hour(s) of deserted street allowed them to actually finish their work by 11:30 a.m. Iavarone said that collecting on Main Street took about one hour every day and that the company had been willing to live with the 7:00 a.m. start time. Councilmember Gram asked if there was any way to quiet the trucks and their crushing devices ey adding "rubberized" materials to the dumpsters and truck components. Mr. Iavarone said the containers did bang against a rubberized pad on the trucks but that the blade crushers did make noise in their operation. He said the company didn't design trucks. Councilmember Matthews asked Mr. Iavarone to verifY the hours of downtown garbage collection since Mr. Riskin had said that it took place before 7:00 a.m. Mr. Iavarone verified the hours but pointed out that there were other trucks, such as grease collection trucks, that did not belong to Mill Valley Refuse. However, he confirmed that the 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. collection hours pertained not only to lower Main Street but to Ark Row as welL Steve Sears, owner of Sam's Anchor Cafe, said he wanted to work with Messrs. Swift and Riskin on the quality of life on the "Tiburon Riviera." - Mr. Sears vouched for the Mill Valley Refuse agreement with the Town but said he thought they had reached agreement to change the hours of collection from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and to ban all trucks from Main Street until that time. Councilmember Gram asked Mr. Sears whether he secured his "recyclables". Mr. Sears said that he had secured his but that that Guaymas and Servino's restaurants had not However. he said he had spoken with the chefs ofthose restaurants and told them they had to padlock the areas. Sears suggested that Council give the police time to communicate with the restaurants before taking further action. Mayor Thompson said he had concluded that what was needed was a "simple but enforceable" ordinance. Cynthia Marques, Corinthian Island, said the custodial staff at Corinthian Yacht Club also made a lot of noise when they threw out bottles. Noe Riskin, Corinthian Island, again asked Council not to address specifics but to adopt a more general ordinance. Mayor Thompson closed the public hearing, - Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 8 ill' ,,-.. While Council expressed sympathy with the concerns of the Corinthian Island and other Town residents, there was consensus that Staff was taking the right tack in trying to address the causes of the noise rather than create a "blanket" ordinance, and to concentrate on enforcement of current Town ordinances. Council directed Staff to a) return with an ordinance that would regulate operation, use or presence of commercial trucks on Main Street between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekends and holidays; b) approach the City of Belvedere to discuss noise issues pertaining to Corinthian Yacht Club; c) follow-up with downtown business owners to ensure that "recyclables" are secured; d) check with other municipalities to determine successes in banning gas-powered leaf blowers; e) publish in the next Town Newsletter information on Town regulations pertaining to "quality of life" issues; f) follow-up and take action on complaints regarding amplified music in commercial areas that emanates' more than 50 feet per Town ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING (11) Request for Amendment to Hexan Precise Plan (pD #1) to Establish a Fencing Only Building Envelop for Lot 4 ,.... Address: Owner/Applicant: Assessor's Parcel No.: 18 Cibrian Drive Randall and Sandra Huyser 38-044-42 Planning Director Anderson said the request pertained to a two.acre parcel of which 12,500 square feet would be enclosed by a fence, leaving over half of the lot in an "open" condition. Anderson noted that the Hexan Precise Plan, approved in the early 1980's, did not allow structures, including fences, to be constructed outside the building envelopes on each lot and that was the purpose of the requested amendment for this lot. Anderson said the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. Huyser, were currently constructing a swimming pool in the secondary building envelope and wanted a fence that would serve the dual purpose of pool enclosure and deer barrier. The fence would consist of six-foot high wood post and wire mesh. He said that all of the neighbors had been noticed and were aware of the request. In response to a question from Mayor Thompson, he said that although there were no story poles, a temporary fence was in place that covered some ofthe proposed area. The Planning Director also said that it was possible to see a small portion of the fence from the Paradise Drive area. - Planning Director Anderson said that Staffhad recommended approval of the application to the Planning Commission provided that the proposed fence was set back 10 feet from the western property line and made more curvilinear at the lower western edge. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Precise Plan amendment to the Council while allowing the applicants' request to place a portion of the fence along the western boundary, as it would reduce Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 9 . - the visual impact of the fence and would not detract from the intended "openness" of the original subdivision as set forth in the Precise Plan. Mayor Thompson opened and closed the public hearing. There was no public comment. MOTION: To adopt the resolution approving the Hexan Precise Plan amendment for Lot 4, located at 18 Cibrian Drive Bach, seconded by Slavitz AYES: Unanimous Moved: Vote: (12) Report by Planning Director - Review and Approval of Downtown Design Guidelines Council waived the Staff report. Mayor Thompson asked for comments from Council and the public. Steve Sears, member of the Steering Committee that provided guidance for preparation of the handbook, said the design firm had a good grasp on the downtown area and was good to work with. He commended Planning Director Anderson and Stephen Wheeler (consultant) for their efforts. - Bill Lukens agreed with Mr. Sears that the Committee and designers did an "outstanding job of putting into print a model to follow" for the downtown area in the future. Lukens said the guidelines were "tasteful yet preserved character." However, he commented that there was too much light emanating from downtown and noted that the guidelines recommended voiding or removal of some of the lights. Chris Morrison, resident and business owner on Ark Row, said the handbook was a "masterpiece of a document." Mayor Thompson also commented that this was the first time the Town had tried to "get its arms around" what the downtown should look like in order to preserve its character for the future. Councilmember Gram said the process, which began four years earlier, had produced a "strong document." However, he said he wanted to add his comments and also to see the comments of the Design Review Board before recommending approval. Councilmember Gram said one concern focused on why the designers recommended deciduous trees in the downtown area. Consultant Stephen Wheeler responded by stating that the guidelines were developed by the Steering Committee in conjunction with the design team. He said he favored deciduous trees because they allowed sunlight in during the winter months, and that broadleaf evergreens had heavy canopies that obscured signage and building facades. Mr. Wheeler also said that there were currently deciduous trees only on Tiburon Boulevard. -. Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 10 r" Wheeler said his experience in working on a urban design project in downtown Santa Cruz had colored his thinking because the merchants there had complained about the ficus trees on Pacific Avenue, which was also a business district. Wheeler pointed out that one of the purposes of the ferry plaza project, as well as the goal of the Main Street merchants, was to encourage pedestrian activity and congregation in the downtown and fountain plaza areas. Wheeler said that another benefit of deciduous trees was to add color and flowers in the Spring, as opposed to the addition of flower boxes on the already narrow sidewalks of Main Street Mr. Wheeler spoke of the "unique character" of downtown Tiburon and the three distinct areas, Ark Row, Main Street, and Tiburon Boulevard, which were the focus of the Downtown Design Guidelines handbook. He described the "historical simplicity" of Main Street. the "residential feel" of Ark Row, and said that if you tried to "unifY" the areas through additional planting of trees or the addition of flower boxes, it would blur the uniqueness of the three areas. He said the Steering Committee concurred that flower boxes would not enhance the storefronts or businesses on Main Street, but could work on Ark Row because of its "bohemian" character. Councilmember Gram said that even though the Town had recently completed the Main Street Reconstruction Project, he thought it could be improved upon and needed the "warmth" of some plants to balance its "sterile" look. - Mr. Wheeler said it was a valid comment and agreed that Main Street was not "perfect," but noted that the Committee wanted to focus on the buildings and commercial displays and bringing people to the downtown area. He said that "people make a space." Steve Sears concurred. He said that prior to working with the design team, the Town had a "landscape plan" for downtown based upon recommendations by Mr. Zelinsky after observing the downtown areas of some European cities. Mr. Sears said that after working with the committee and consultants, his opinion had changed and he no longer thought it was as important to make , Main Street look like a European city. Mayor Thompson commented that he thought a "hybrid" plan could be worked out He proposed windowsill boxes or hanging flowers as an option. However, Thompson pointed out that the sidewalks had just been widened on Main Street for pedestrian access and safety and that they should not be blocked. Steve Sears said that the Heritage & Arts Commission had unanimously voted against hanging flower baskets. Mr. Wheeler said the goal was to use stores, signage and design to draw people into downtown. He said planter boxes had a more "residential feel" to them. - Town Council Minutes #25.2001 October 3, 2001 Page 11 - Councilmember Gram said he would revise his written comments based upon the discussion and give them to Staff for further review before Council considered the matter again. Mayor Thompson asked if there was further public comment, Kathryn Servino said she would like to see more plants or planter boxes on Main Street because it seemed "overwhelmingly stark" since its reconstruction. Helen Lindqvist said she had just returned from Corvallis, Oregon and said the hanging baskets there, along with trash containers with flower "pockets" really "wanned up" the landscape. Mayor Thompson closed the public hearing. Thompson said that the designers' recommendation to move the tall trees from the median strips on Tiburon Boulevard to the sides of the boulevard was a good one, and that it would create a "frame" ofMt. Tamalpais in the distance. Councilmember Gram said he liked evergreen trees, but suggested that the guidelines delete the word "deciduous" and just say "trees." - Councilmember Slavitz thought it might be possible to have a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees downtown, He also said he was impressed with the handbook and the positive comments by the Planning Commission and Design Review Board. Councilmember Gram said that some of the photographs, such as those of Monterey and Copenhagen, should be removed from the handbook so as not to be construed by future generations as a model to emulate. He said that "pictures seem to dictate things" and that the handbook was "just a guideline" and should remain as such. Mr. Wheeler said that the document had become more than it started out to be, and was unique in that it focused on both private property and public sector issues, such as urban design, landscaping, lighting and furniture. Item continued pending review of written comments to be submitted by Councilmember Gram.
