Trees: the survey shows that the trees-are on The Hilarita property, so that is good to know. We have discussed a one to one replacement with Scott Anderson of the Town of Tiburon but he said that the three to one was a must if we remove mature trees, and he said that Cal Trans requires that the Town < 2 > agree to maintenance, which it will not. This all makes it impossible for us to go ahead. M are not sure that we can get our money back on the trees ordered and waiting for delivery here,'but we will see what can be done. It is our recommendation to go with the one to one replacements. In discussion: K. Lester: bill the Town for the trees that we purchased for an expectation of agreement. L. Sanborn: no, the Town is firm on three to one replacement; the Town knows we can't plant three to one; being recorded as we expect; we might negotiate with the nursery on the trees return and take plants for replacements. C. Ford: is there a time line on this? 2. Wait List: the opening and closing went very well; very few applications for the larger units. We will open again later. 3.

CONSENT CALENDAR 1. 2097 CENTRO EAST STREET; File No. 710145; Michael Lafayette and Heather Cairns, Owners; Adoption of resolution denying Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a rooftop deck and ramp access from the rear yard for an existing single- family dwelling. APN: 059-132-27. [LT] ACTION: It was M/S (Emberson/Weller) to adopt the draft Resolution denying the Site Plan and Architectural Review application for 2097 Centro East Street. Vote: 4-0-1 (Tollini absent). E. OLD BUSINESS 2. 10 SEAFIRTH ROAD; File No. 21021; Dion and Tracey Cominos, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with vari ances for reduced rear yard setback and excess lot coverage and a Floor Area Exception. The applicants propose to construct a 364 square foot office addition and bathroom to the side of the existing garage. The addition would extend to within 18 feet, 6 inches of the rear property line and would result in lot coverage of 17.9%, in lieu of the required 30 foot rear yard setback and 15.0% maximum lot coverage. APN: 039-092-06 [LT] On February 3, 2011 the Design Review Board reviewed an application to construct an addition with variances for reduced rear yard setback and excess lot coverage with a floor area exception, on property located at 10 Seafirth Road. _ During the meeting the Board struggled to come to a consensus on the project and to the required hardship findings for the requested lot coverage and rear yard setback variances. The Board TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #3 3/3/11 recognized the need for an adequate home office, but viewed the addition as too large for an office use, and could see the potential for it to turn into a guest suite due to its size and full bathroom. The question was raised as to whether the addition was truly intended for the purpose of a home office, or for an additional bedroom/guest suite to the home. As the Board could not come to a consensus on the project, four of the five Boardmembers said they would be more amenable to the project if the size of the addition was scaled back to around 200 square feet, which would reduce the floor area and lot coverage and potentially pull the addition further out of the rear yard setback. The application was continued to March 3, 2011, with direction given to the applicant to scale back the size of the addition. The applicant has submitted revised plans which indicate a reduction in the size of the proposed addition; however, the proposal would still require both excess lot coverage and rear yard setback variances and a floor area exception. The proposed addition would increase the floor area of the home by 272 square feet, for a total gross floor area of 3,636 square feet. As the maximum gross floor area for the property is 3,310 square feet, a floor area exception has been requested. The addition would also increase the lot coverage by 272 square feet, for total lot coverage of 2,253 square feet (17.3%). As the maximum pennitted lot coverage in the RO-2 zone is 15.0%, a variance for excess lot coverage has also been requested. The location of the addition, adjacent to the existing two-car garage, would encroach 1 foot into the rear yard setback, for a reduced rear yard setback of 22' 6". As the minimum required rear yard setback is 23' 6" (20% of the depth of lot), a variance for reduced rear yard setback has also been requested. Dion Cominos, Owner, said there was general consensus on three issues at the prior meeting: 1) the property in its current configuration resulted in a hardship in tenns of having a functional office, 2) within the existing footprint it is impractical to add an office, and 3) the proposal was too large at 364 square feet. They studied what could be done to address the Board's concerns yet still provide a minimally functional office space. They arrived at a solution that is less than optimal with entry facing Paradise Drive, but this allowed them to make the addition smaller. Mr. Cominos noted the staff report stated the Board would find a size of 200 square feet appropriate, but he stated no number was, in fact, discussed. The revised design is more than 25% smaller than the original. They cut out almost 100 square feet from the room, resulting in a I% decrease in the lot coverage and an 80% decrease in the requested variance in the side yard setback. No one in the community has objected to the addition and they have universal support for the original, much larger conception which is not visually intrusive and cannot be seen from anywhere. He commented that Vice-Chair Kricensky visited the site and seems to understand that it is not possible to have a professional phone call in the setting of the current floor plan of the house. He respects Chair Tollini's comment that he could work at his dining table, but anything said at the dining table funnels up to the childrens' rooms, and the space is without Internet connection. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #3 3/3/11 Mr. Cominos also addressed the issue of a shower and bath in the office area; the shower and bath area is only 9 square feet, which is the smallest possible size. The only bathroom downstairs is a shall powder room. All of the showers in the house are connected to the bedrooms and he needs that space in the office to make it functional. Boardmember Weller questioned the two-door entrance. Elizabeth Suzuki, architect, said the French doors do not have a good locking system from the outside and do not function as entry. Boardmember Weller said the plan shows no eave to protect the entrance from weather, and Ms. Suzuki confirmed this as true. There were no public comments. Boardmember Weller said he was in favor of the project before and is now more comfortable with the reduction in size. The reduction snakes it easier to reach the conclusions than it did before. The practical difficulty the applicant has described is apparent to him. He is aware of the issue of setting precedence, but the fact that it has no impact on anyone else plays a role in his conclusion. Boardinember Emberson said it is hard for her to make the hardship finding when the office is larger than her own bedroom. She understands it is a difficult lot to work with and the house has a very open floor plan. Boardmember Chong said he was most outspoken in favor of the project last time. He does not think it has much impact and none of the neighbors are against it. He thinks the applicant has compromised to pull it back off the setback and thinks the hardship is related to the need for a home office away from the area of the bedrooms. Vice-Chair Kricensky said he visited the property and agrees it is difficult to fit an office into the floor plan. He noted that the Board has been duped many times by applicants submitting projects, and must therefore look at this as space being added on rather than as an office. It looks like an extra bedroom and the Board must look at it that way. However, it is very similar to the surrounding area in zoning. Of the lots in the area, coverage variances range from 15% to 25% greater coverage and almost all of theirs are on smaller lots (i.e., 13,000 square feet). The present project is on a 13,000 square foot lot. Under this zoning the smaller lots have more trouble adhering to the requirements of this zoning ordinance. This is in an unused part of the property and does not impact anyone or anything. It is taking the place of an old woodshed. He can understand the need for the office. Boardinember Emberson said she feels the Board must go by the zoning ordinance and voiced having trouble finding hardship. She said the owners knew what the house was like when they bought it and while she appreciates the lots are small, she is having trouble meeting all of the criteria. Boardinember Weller questioned if the house was subject to the current FAR and setback requirements when it was built. Mr. Anderson said the Seafirth subdivision was developed in the TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #3 3/3/11 1950s but he did not know the date the house was constructed. Ms. Suzuki said she does not have the original date of the house but the addition was built in the 1980s and it was part of the Town of Tiburon at that time. She said it is true they knew what the house was when they bought it, but pointed out they are using it differently as their children have grown. Mr. Anderson said there was no floor area guideline back in the 1980s but the coverage limit was the same in the 1980s as it is now. Vice-Chair Kricensky noted this area was annexed in 1964. Boardmember Chong pointed out that the Board has suggested building single stories in the back of homes in the Belveron neighborhood, and suggested this as a similar situation where an additional bedroom is being added. Boardmember Emberson disagreed and noted there are many second stories in this neighborhood and it is not the same as Belveron; there is space to reconfigure and add the bedroom upstairs. Boardmember Weller said in his perspective, the research adds to the applicant's argument. He does not see it as the job of the Design Review Board to prevent people from developing their properties if findings can be made. Vice-Chair Kricensky noted that visiting the site helped him see that the addition fits the site which makes a big difference for him in supporting the project. ACTION: It was M/S (Weller/Chong) that the request for 10 Seafirth Road is exempt from the California Enviromnental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, and the request is approved, subject to the attached conditions of approval. Vote: 3-1-1 (Emberson opposed; Tollini absent). F. APPROVAL OF MINUTES #2 OF THE 2/17/11 DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING The following amendment was requested: • Page 3, 5'h paragraph, "...and she could not imagine having any lights in that location" should read "...and she could not imagine not having any lights in that location." ACTION: It was M/S (Weller/Emberson) to approve Minutes #2 of the February 17, 2011 meeting, as amended. Vote: 4-0-1 (Tollini absent). G.

The Commission identified Friday, April 8 at 1:00 PM as a time in which they all appeared available. Anderson indicated that he would convey this information to the project applicants. He noted this would be a special meeting of the Planning Commission and would be open to the public. The Commission would not be expected to hold an organized discussion of the item during the field trip, or deliberate on the project as a body. The primary purposes were to observe, ask questions, and seek clarification. He noted that the item is set to return before the Commission at a regular meeting on April 13, 2011. PUBLIC HEARING 1. RECOMMEND TO TOWN COUNCIL ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A STREAMLINED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURE FOR THE LYFORD DRIVE MULTI-MODAL PARKING LOT PROJECT LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF LYFORD DRIVE AND TIBURON BOULEVARD; FILE #52010-05; Assessor Parcel No. 060-061-15 and adjacent Tiburon Boulevard Right-of-Way. Mr. Anderson summarized the staff report. He recommended that the Commission hold a public hearing and move to adopt the resolution recommending adoption of the ordinance to the Town Council. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MARCH 9, 2011 MINUTES NO. 1008 DRAFT PAGE 1 Chair Frymier asked about the environmental document for the project. Anderson! stated that an Initial Study had been prepared for the project and that a draft mitigated negative declaration had been prepared for the project and concluded that all potential impacts would be mitigated to less than significant levels. That document was set to be released next week. Frymier asked if the parking spaces in the project would be free or charge or whether the Town would charge for parking in them. Anderson responded that the Town does not know the answer to that question at this time, and that the issue of fee parking is something that would need to be negotiated with Caltrans should the decision be made to move forward with the project. Frymier asked when the Town would find out whether the redevelopment funds that are proposed to be used for the project might be taken back by the state. Anderson responded that the issue is very much uncertain at this time and that staff is monitoring all legislation and proposals germane to this issue. Vice-Chair Corcoran inquired about the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) funds mentioned in the staff report, asking if the TAM grant money for the project was due to the project's proximity to the multi-use path. Anderson responded that the proximity to the multi- use path could have played a role, but that the project was located at an existing bus stop that also serves as a ferry-feeder and a parking area that partly serves the same purpose. A bus stop upgrade and new bicycle facilities were part of the proposed project, in addition to improved vehicle parking, and these were likely primary considerations for TAM in bestowing the multi- modal grant on the project. Commissioner Tollini asked about the potential loss of project funding mentioned in the staff report. Anderson clarified that both redevelopment money and the TAM grant money were potentially at-risk. The redevelopment funds could potentially be taken back by the state and the TAM funds were time-limited and must be spent by a certain date or forfeited. Commissioner Tollini inquired about the space for six over-sized vehicles proposed as part of the project, questioning whether this was enough space for such vehicles. Anderson replied that the main purpose of the lot is to accommodate passenger vehicles and not oversized commercial vehicles, but that some provision had been made in the plan for such vehicles. In response to a question from Chair Frymier, Anderson clarified that the item before the Commission [the streamlining ordinance] is procedural only and that the Town Council has not taken up the issue of the project merits as yet. Chair Frymier opened the public hearing. There being no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed, and the item returned to the Commission for deliberation. All the Commissioners agreed that the ordinance was appropriate and that the consolidated process would improve efficiency. ACTION: M/S (Doyle/Kunzweiler) to adopt the Resolution as drafted. Motion carried: 5-0. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - MARCH 9, 2011 MINUTES NO. 1008 DRAFT PAGE 2 1 Chair Frymier, returning to the Commission briefing item, noted that the Town Council had been highly complimentary of the Planning Commission during.,its hearing on the CVS appeals last month and had upheld the Commission's limitations on the use. 2.

The applicants propose to add 390 square feet to the home by expanding the garage and front entry of the home, and incorporate a larger kitchen at the rear of the home. The additions would increase the FAR for a total floor area of 3,387 sq. ft. which exceeds the maximum FAR permitted of 3,323 sq. ft. The additions would result in a lot coverage of 24.6% which exceeds the maximum permitted in the RO-2 zone (15.0%).

ADJOURN MEETING PARKS AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION AGENDA FOR MARCH 16, 2011 MEETING Paqe 2 of 2 RiCHARDSON's BAY REGIONAL AGENCY MEMORANDUM March 10, 2011 TO: RBRA Board FROM: Ben Berto, RBRA Clerk SUBJECT: March meeting Board members: Staff is looking forward to the first meeting with new RBRA Chair Ken Wachtel and Vice-Chair Jonathan Leone. Welcome to both of you in your new roles. The RBRA continues to be fortunate with the caliber and dedication of its officers and all its Board members. As always Staff is here to assist RBRA's Board in performing our agency's public responsibilities. This meeting's agenda is fairly straightforward. The most substantive item. concerns adoption of the FY 2012 RBRA budget. This was discussed in some depth at the January Board meeting (see packet from that meeting, and minutes included in this meeting's packet). The proposed ten percent increase in member jurisdiction dues reflects increases in the Agency's costs of doing business, costs which Staff has deferred putting on member jurisdictions for the last two years. Staff is prepared to answer Board member questions, and hopes the Board will approve the budget by the unanimous vote of members present necessary for adoption. It is understood that RBRA's budget adoption comes early in the overall budget cycles for most member jurisdictions. I will send every Manager/Administrator the budget amount, a budget breakdown, and concise justification along with the invoice. Please let me know if there is any additional information or assistance I can provide for your jurisdiction's RBRA-related budget deliberations. The seemingly interminable wait continues for authorization locally to initiate the next steps in our TMDL local implementation efforts. However, the County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to take up the DPW contract at their March 22 meeting. With any luck Staff will finally be able to initiate and report on progress in the houseboat monitoring program at RBRA's May meeting. Staff has researched America's Cup options for the RBRA and will make an oral report to the Board. As has been previously discussed, since RBRA activities directly affect and involve Sausalito, our efforts are predicated on its leadership and support. Staff looks forward to Vice-Chair Leone's input in this discussion. Y l r RiCHARDSON's BAY REGIONAL AGENCY Thursday, March 17, 2011 5:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.

Election of Officers to the RBRA Board Chair McGlashan nominated Mr. Wachtel as Chair and Mr. Leone as Vice-chair and the slate was accepted by the Board unanimously. New Chair Wachtel accepted the gavel and thanked Member McGlashan, who replied that it had been a pleasure to serve as Chair over the past two years. Review report of Harbor Administrator Mr. Price alerted the Board to a proposed State bill that would give the State Lands Commission the right to remove vessels in State waters. He allowed that the winter so far had been mild, resulting in fewer Rapid Response calls than usual. He briefly explained problems at the Cove Apartment docks and Sam's dock in Tiburon. Report was accepted. Prior Expenditures The expenditure report was accepted. Review and comment on the first draft of the 2011/12 annual budget Mr. Berto provided a brief summary of the budget and the justification for the increase, pointing out that the previous two budgets had avoided any increases in member agency contributions, but that cost increases dictated an increase. Chair Wachtel asked what percentage was being proposed and Mr. Berto replied it was a 10% increase and pointed out the revenues versus expenses concerns raised in the last audit. As an example, he pointed out that even with salaries flat-lined for the last three years, unavoidable increases in benefits contributions were unavoidable. He outlined the budgeting difficulties in professional Services since the drawdowns on state grants are 6 months behind the actual fiscal year they are issued in. Mr. Berto felt confident in the proposed draft budget and hoped the Board could review, comment, and preliminarily pass the budget at the March meeting. Member O'Donnell asked about the stability of the State DBW grant funds, and Mr. Price responded that he felt confident in the funds for the time being since DBW operates in the black and with user-group funding which should survive the State budget cuts. Member McGlashan pointed out that from 1985 to date the RBRA budget has only doubled, which is very conservative rate of increase. Peter Moorhead spoke in public comment welcoming member O'Donnell, advising the Board that the funding request was not enough to accomplish the work required by the public trust. He felt that it was not a funding issue, but a political issue. Member Butler entered into a brief discussion of the BCDC mooring plan, and Mr. Moorhead stated that the boats stored on the bay should be removed, and that with the America's Cup coming up, there was no money for a Mooring Program and the BCDC would never go along with residential use component of the plan. Member O'Donnell pointed out that he had been on the Board for over a year and that he was not interested in making political concessions, but that he wanted a solution for the problem. He conceded that finances were an issue. Staff Comments Mr. Berto thanked Member McGlashan for his years of service and important leadership. Board Member Matters Member McGlashan outlined a report by Andrew Cohen of the SF Bay Institute on the "mythology" of oysters in San Francisco Bay, which found that generally speaking oysters were never abundant in the Bay, that they weren't present in Indian middens going forward from 5,000 years ago. He noted there may be some utility in increasing their numbers. Mr. Berto said he had read the study and the muddy substrate precluded oyster beds. Member Wachtel pointed out that the RWQCB goal was probably unachievable. Member O'Donnell felt that the RBRA should have a role to play in the upcoming America's Cup, and he felt the Board should get out in front and re-ignite the mooring Plan. Mr. Berto asked the Board to bring ideas to the next meeting for rolling out the welcome mat. Member McGlashan wanted to review the Mooring Plan logic and see how it could mesh with the race in 2013, but he pointed out the Marin Sheriff's reluctance to enforce against boats that could relocate and return in 72 hours. He felt the Cup would push things forward faster, and he wanted to convey to Sausalito through the City Manager that we would need political leadership and support from their City Council to move forward with the Mooring Plan. The meeting was adjourned to closed session at 6:40 PM. NOTE: The next meeting of the RBRA is scheduled for March 17, 2011 at 5:30 PM at the Sausalito City Hall Chambers.

Total expected amount is $19,312.25. • US Coast Guard - Met with the Coast Guard's Abandoned Vessel group to discuss ongoing program of documenting derelict vessels. • Sausalito Police Department - 1) training two officers in the operation of the patrol vessel. 2) Working with SPD to keep their city-owned docks clear of unauthorized vessels. DEBRIS REMOVAL • Disposed of 15 vessels. 5 boats are currently impounded. • Beach clean-up efforts ongoing using Community Service volunteers. • Removed a 20' sailboat abandoned in a Black Point slough as part of a agreement with the Marin Co. Sheriff's Department for use of their unspent AWAF funds in 2009. RAPID RESPONSE • A large trimaran sailboat was retrieved from adjacent to Tiburon Boulevard in Tiburon. A large sailboat was taken into tow in Sausalito during a recent storm and secured. WATER QUALITY • The wet season water tests were initiated March 2, 2011 and the State Water Board has secured their lab contract and so is conducting their multiple tube fecal coliform testing alongside. The weather has been sufficiently stormy to allow for a true wet weather test cycle. • Met with local marina operators and distributed the Fall 2010 water test results. • Working on developing an informal inspection program to be instituted at.the houseboat marinas. OTHER • Gates Coop / Waldo Point Harbor has begun work on the harbor reconfiguration and a grading permit is about to be issued to start the parking lot phase of the project. Staff will likely assist the dockmaster at Gates Coop with the removal certain structures and houseboats whenever possible in order to help this vital project along toward completion. Water quality issues in this location will be greatly reduced if not eliminated once the project is finished. Richardson Bay Regional Agency .

Only the Olympic Game's anti soccer's World Cup surpass this international sporting event's projected economic benefits. The agency would like to take advantage of this opportunity to get the currently abandoned Mooring Plan reignited at its March meeting and operational in time to welcome visitors from around the world. The agency has actively promoted the creation of a permanent recreational mooring field during the past five years but was not successful in getting the Bay Conservation and Development Commission to accept the plan, which includes live-aboard vessels.

Tile San Francisco Bay Subtidal Habitat Goals report was developed by the state Coastal Conservancy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission and the San Francisco Estuary Partnership. Tile advisory document identifies hour actions could benefit sea life in the bay over the next 50 years. Researchers Hope it paves the way for more study and restoration projects, leading to a healthier bay for bottom-dwelling organisms and for the salmon, herring, shorebirds, pelicans and sea lions that ride higher oil the same food chain. "We all see the bay as we drive over the bridges, but all we see is the surface," said Marilyn Latta, project manager for tile, report at the Coastal Conservancy. "There are many species and a lot of life that we do not see." Among the species, eelgrass is identified as being critical. One of the strongest becis of eelgrass sits in Richardson Bay, while another patch rests off Keil Cove near Tiburon. Eelgrass provides a mrrsery for Ir_lany fish and shellfish species and is a major food source, forming the base of food webs and hosting organisms that feed directly oil its leaves. It supports tiny plants, animals and organisms that, in turn, are eaten by other invertebrates, larval and juvenile fish, and birds. Eelgrass beds also slow wave and current action, trap suspended particulates and reduce erosion by stabilizing sediment. The plant improves water clarity, cycles nutrients and generates oxygen during daylight hours. "It forms these meadows that do a lot of beneficial things for file bay," Latta said. The report calls for the creation of eelgrass reserves and suggests a need to protect there from damage by boats, COIIS ruction and dredging.

Tile report also calls for expanding oyster beds in the bay. The Olympia oyster, which pleasures no more than 1.5 itlches in diameter when frilly grown, once Nvas plentiful in the bay, acting as a water purifier, as well as helping other species. Some fish, such as the goby, lay their eggs inside vacant oyster shells. For others, such as angel sharks and seabirds, the oysters make tip part of their diets.. Projects at the Mariii Rod acid Gun Club in San Rafael and in Richardson Bay to bring back the oysters have proved fi'uitfiil. "People and groups have done Nvonderful pilot projects to help the oysters come back in Mariii," Latta said. The report recommends restoring oyster beds near Dunphy Park in Sausalito; Brickyard Park in Strawberry; Angel Island; Richardson) Bay; Arainbaru Island in Richardson Bay; the San Rafael shoreline from the Mariii Rod aiid Gun Club to south of the McNears Beach area; as well as the Mariii Islands National Wildlife Refuge. "Tile oysters are important for the bay,'.' Latta said. "Much of the bay's bottom is soft mud; the oyster shells provide a liard surface for others critters to attach themselves to and grow." Derelict boats that litter Marin's water and shores are also addressed iii the report, which suggests funding be found to ieniove them. Oil and paint from the boats sully the bay's waters and those that sink smother the bottom. The report - which cost about $800,000 to produce - is the second of three addressing the bay.
