While the Town welcomes the America's Cup races and related maritime activities which will begin in July 2011, we have concerns regarding the cumulative impacts related to visitors viewing the races from Tiburon. Certain portions of Tiburon, especially our downtown waterfront, will have views of the proposed race course. The Town of Tiburon requests the EIR include an analysis of the following impacts related to the America's Cup races: 1. Visitor Impacts The EIR should include an analysis of how many additional visitors will travel to Tiburon as a result of the America's Cup races. 2. Traffic Impacts a. Circulation Tiburon has one primary arterial (Tiburon Boulevard) which provides vehicular access through the Town, which is at the end of a Peninsula. The EIR should estimate the number of trips generated on Tiburon Boulevard as a result of the project and identify appropriate mitigation in the EIR where necessary to reduce any traffic impacts on Tiburon Boulevard to a less than significant level. b. Parking Parking in downtown Tiburon is a sensitive issue. The EIR should include an analysis of the potential impacts to the parking conditions in the downtown area resulting from the America's Cup races and provide appropriate mitigation to reduce any parking impacts to a less-than-significant level. America's Cup Races NOP letter c. Bicycles Tiburon is a destination for a moderate number of bicycle enthusiasts who rent bikes in San Francisco, ride over the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito, on to Tiburon, and return to San Francisco via a ferry. While Tiburon welcomes bicycle- related visitors in moderation, a substantial increase in bicycles could lead to impacted roadways and congested bicycle parking in the downtown. Bicycle riders visiting Tiburon will increase during the America's Cup races further impacting the Town's infrastructure. The EIR should include an analysis of the estimated increase in bicycle ridership coming to Tiburon and the impacts to the Town roadways, multi-use path, bicycle parking availability, and ferry service availability to accommodate transportation of the bicycle riders and their bicycles back to San Francisco. 3. Public Services Impacts The Town of Tiburon and corresponding special districts provide a variety of public services to the community. The Town was planned to accommodate the current residential population and visitors. As Tiburon is a popular visitor destination with views of the proposed America's Cup race course, the Town is concerned that the increase in visitors may adversely impact the following public services: a. Police. The EIR should include an analysis of the impacts to the Town's police services, including whether additional police staffing is necessary to support an increase in visitors coming to Tiburon resulting from the America's Cup races. Appropriate mitigation measures should be incorporated in to the EIR where necessary to reduce any police services impacts to a less-than-significant level. b. Fire. The Tiburon Fire Protection District and Southern Marin Fire Protection District provide fire protection services to the Town. The EIR should include an analysis of what additional fire protection or EMT/paramedic services may be needed to support visitors coming to Tiburon for the America's Cup races, and identify any mitigatIoun measures to reduce identified impacts. C. Public Works. The Town Department of Public Works is responsible for the maintenance and management of the Town's infrastructure, including without limitation, streets, sidewalks, parks and open spaces. The EIR should include an analysis of potential impacts to these facilities, such as Shoreline Park, or staffing needs that could occur due to an increase in visitors as a result of the America's Cup races, and identify any mitigation measures to reduce identified impacts. d. Public Restroom Facilities. The Town of Tiburon has limited public restroom facilities in its Downtown area where most America's Cup visitors to Tiburon would be expected to congregate. The EIR should America's Cup Races NOP letter 2 address this issue, and if it is found that existing public rest-room facilities will not be able to accommodate these visitors, then the Town requests identification of appropriate mitigation measures to address the additional demand for public restroom facilities. e. Refuse. The EIR should include an analysis of how much refuse will be generated by visitors and how the refuse removal will be managed. Mitigation measures should be identified to address any identified impacts regarding refuse collection and/or disposal. f. Bus and Ferry. The EIR should include an analysis of the impacts of additional visitors coming to Tiburon utilizing public transportation service such as buses and ferries, and determine whether those public services will have the capacity to serve the increase in riders. The EIR should include an analysis of potential impacts from increased bus and ferry scheduled arrival and departure times if those are indeed anticipated. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the NOP. If you have any questions, please contact me by telephone at (415) 435-7392 or via e-mail at sandersonQci.tiburon. ca.us.

The medians in question stretch from Cecilia Drive to Strawberry Drive/Bay Vista; both are state property managed by Caltrans in the unincorporated county. They are fairly wide, concrete and pretty darn ugly. The Committee, which is comprised of residents of both of our communities, is interested in fundraising to eliminate the concrete and install irrigation and landscaping. They have asked for assistance, though, in getting the project started, especially with the development of fundraising tools such as general plans, renderings and an itemized budget. Our rough estimate for the construction project itself is between $250,000 and $300,000. The Tiburon Town Council is interested in playing a catalytic role to help get this project accomplished, and is hopeful that Belvedere will become a partner in this endeavor. We propose that Tiburon and Belvedere split the cost of professional design services to lay the foundation for the private fundraising effort by the beautification Committee. Our Public Works Director, Nick Nguyen, has solicited such a proposal, which is attached. Its cost is $19,795, so the proposal is that each municipality contributes $9,898 toward this effort. We would be happy to work with Belvedere's staff to modify the scope of the work to assure it is mutually agreeable, and would welcome Belvedere's participation in all aspects of the project. If we are able to agree upon cost-sharing this up front expense, I recommend we convene the Committee with the design team for an exchange of ideas. As you know, the Committee has raised funds for other similar improvements and probably has some good ideas of what they would like to see out there. a. Jeff Slavitz Mayor Jim "Fraser Vice Mayor Richard-Collins Couricilmember Alice Fredericks Councilmember Emmett O'Donnell Councilmember We believe beautifying this entrance to the peninsula will benefit a great many Tiburon and Belvedere residents on a daily basis. I cannot think of a beautification project that would have more direct visibility for both our communities, and working with the private volunteers has the potential to leverage a modest amount of public funds into a significant improvement for all concerned. I look forward to hearing from you on this project.

The grant awards were made on February 9, 2011 by the Bay Trail Steering Committee. Attached is a draft contract for the Greenwood Beach Road Feasibility Study grant. Once the contract is signed, the next step will be the drafting and approval of the work program. The work program outlines on a task by task basis the items that the Bay Trail grant will pay for. The work program must be approved by ABAG and the Coastal Conservancy, and becomes the basis for reimbursement to the Town of Tiburon. If you have any questions regarding the grant process in the meantime, please feel free to contact me at (510) 464-7909 or by e-mail at maureeng@abag.ca.gov. Thank you for your interest in the Bay Trail grant program. We look forward to working with you on this exciting project.

ROLL CALL Present: Chair Tollini, Vice-Chair Kricensky, and Boardmembers Emberson and Weller Absent: Boardmember Chong Ex-Officio: Associate Planner Tyler and Minutes Clerk Rusting B. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None C. STAFF BRIEFING - None D. NEW BUSINESS 1. 2097 CENTRO EAST STREET; File No. 710145; Michael Lafayette and Heather Cairns, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a rooftop deck and ramp access from the rear yard for an existing single-family dwelling. The applicants propose to construct a 15 foot by 17.5 foot wooden deck that would lead up from the rear of the site to the roof ridgeline of the existing house. APN: 059-132-27. [LT] On December 23, 2010 the Town received a minor alteration application to construct a rooftop deck on the dwelling located at 2097 Centro East Street. During the ten-day notice period, Staff received four letters from adjacent neighbors expressing concerns with the rooftop deck proposal. It has been the policy of the Town that when a minor alteration application results in two or more complaints/concerns by residents, the application is referred to the Design Review Board. Staff is therefore referring this application to the Board for review and determination. Patrick Lepelch, architect, said that the owners could not attend this meeting and he was acting on their behalf. He stated that the project includes a 15' x 17' deck on the rear of the house. He agreed with the staff report that the deck would not impact views. He said that the potential privacy impacts would be addressed by allowing a hedge to grow between the properties. He noted that the Hillside Design Guidelines state that landscaping is the most visible and important part of a project, and that when privacy and views are in conflict there must be a compromise. He stated that noise would not impact neighbors any more than regular backyard use, and that the landscape hedges would mitigate any noise impact. He said that the deck is not planned to be used for entertainment uses and would not create noise. He stated that the view infringement would be small when taking into account the uphill neighbors' panoramic views. He said that a 3-4 foot tall hedge would mitigate the visual impact of the deck on those neighbors. He submitted photographs of the hedge and the views showing the impact of the hedge growth. He explained how the unusual characteristics and steep grades of the lot make backyard space unusable and asked that those characteristics be taken into account in evaluating the proposal. He said that the deck would allow the residents to enjoy views similar to those enjoyed by neighbors. He asked the uphill neighbors to compromise by allowing the hedge to grow 3-4 feet to mitigate the effect of the deck and in turn, the applicants have agreed to reduce the size of the deck. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #2 2/17/11 Chair Tollini said that there is an existing substantial outdoor deck space and asked if there is a fundamentally different view that could be gained by the roof deck. Mr. Lepelch answered that much of the existing deck is used for circulation and the roof deck would provide more furnishable outdoor space. Chair Tollini asked if the circulation decks could be expanded to provide more furnishable space instead of the roof deck. Mr. Lepelch said that too much overhanging deck space down the hill would be inconsistent with the Hillside Guidelines. The public hearing was opened. John Goodhart clarified the first point in his letter, that his house has a deck on top of the roof but it is not the top story of the structure, and therefore varies considerably from the proposed deck. He also stated that noise would be much louder on top of the proposed deck because it would be a shorter, direct, and unobstructed line to his home. He said that even if the hedge were allowed to grow an additional 3-4 feet there would be an unobstructed noise passage. He also noted that the story poles were deceptive because items could be placed on top of the deck such as heaters and umbrellas. He also noted that the views change for houses as one goes up the hill, and the views of the current house therefore cannot be compared to those that are up the hill. Bob Egner agreed with Mr. Goodhart and said that the hillside runs up the center of the area and is surrounded by additional hills on both sides and this property sits on the lower area of that topography. He said that all of the homes on the hills look down on this property and the deck would be in full view at all times. He said that the height of the deck as proposed would allow a direct line of sight view into homes on Loma Avenue and Vistazo East. He said that raising the height of the hedges by 3 to 4 feet would impact other neighbors' views and is an inadequate solution. He thought that it was important to emphasize the existing rooftop deck on the garage which is adequate for providing furnishable space and panoramic views. Stacey Crystal noted that the second page of her letter was left out of the staff report, and distributed photographs to Board members. She agreed with her neighbors and said that the hedges have been an ongoing issue. She said that they have been discussing it for a year and they have not been cut, which she believed was because they want to hide the roof deck. However, she said that the growing hedge blocks her view. Todd Moody said that he lives adjacent to the property and was already impacted by the existing decks, and an additional deck would be more of an impact. He said that shrubbery cannot be counted on to block the deck and neighbors cannot be counted on to be quiet because they can move out and others can move in. He said that the original design was nice, but putting a deck on it would be poor architecture and he thought that this was a poor design. Nancy Pulling said that she has lived at her property for 3 years and was concerned about maintaining her housing value. She said that she was probably most impacted by the decks that are extending outward now, and she was also concerned about acoustical privacy and lighting. She would like to support the rest of the neighbors above her in preserving their views and privacy. Pam Wilson said that she is not a neighbor and would not be directly affected by this, but she felt that it would be a bad precedent to start approving rooftop decks in Tiburon. She said that this does not fit into the Old Tiburon neighborhood. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #2 2/17/11 Kell Larsen said that he has lived in the neighborhood since 1971, and he has tried to visualize how is would affect the neighborhood if there were rooftop decks. He was concerned about the noise bouncing up from below. He said that the other decks in the neighborhood are not rooftop decks. He felt that growing out the hedge would block the views of the bay for several houses in the neighborhood. Mr. Lepelch responded to the comments and said the photographs provided make it evident that the neighbors currently have a view of the house. He said that if the hedge grew 3 to 4 feet, the views of the house's roof would be obstructed and not views of the bay. He stated that shrubs were cut without the owners' permission last week. He said that there are hedges on two sides of the fence and the thickness of the hedges would block out any noise. He also noted that the poles cannot be seen from many locations in the hills. He said that the Hillside Guidelines speak specifically to the importance of landscaping and he felt that the landscaping could be counted on to provide screening. Vice-Chair Kricensky asked for the overall height of the hedge if allowed to grow out. Mr. Lepelch said that it was probably currently 15 feet or higher. The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Emberson agreed with the applicant that the lot is very unusual, as it is incredibly steep in the back, and she could not imagine not having any lights in that location. She liked the remodel, but felt that the deck would be very out of character and ruin the beauty of the remodel. She did not think that the impact on views were as important as privacy issues for the uphill neighbors in this instance. She said that the noise would carry up the hill. She said that hedges should be kept down so views can be maintained, and she thought that the other existing decks are not passageways but are actually furnishable areas. She could not see a way to approve this large deck as proposed. Boardmember Weller said that the deck was bad design, would impact the neighbors, and was a non- starter for him. He welcomed the owners to Tiburon, thought that their original plans were additive to the property, and hoped that they will drop the current proposal. Vice-Chair Kricensky said that the architecture looked like a look-out placed on top of the house rather than incorporated as part of the house and his main concerns were the noise and privacy impacts on neighbors. Even though it would not necessarily result in a direct view blockage, he said that the deck would be within the space of the uphill neighbors. He stated that most rooftop decks are better incorporated into the architecture, and he could not support the project. Chair Tollini said that the project would have a fundamental impact on many homes around it. He agreed that the noise would travel up the hill and be a major impact on the uphill neighbors. The two roof deck cases he had seen during his tenure on the DRB were more integrated and there were no objections because there were no uphill neighbors. He said that because of the location of this house there was no rooftop deck option that he would approve. He said that the other comparisons that were provided are not rooftop decks but are actually terraces. Vice-Chair Kricensky said that a 20-foot hedge would not block the noise from the deck. Chair Tollini agreed and noted that vegetation would not screen everything on the deck. Boardmember Weller said that the Town has no power to enforce the growth of the hedge.

He also said that the Alto Robles applicants have indicated that the project would not be ready to return for the March 9, 2011 meeting. He asked about the availability of Commissioners to attend the April 13, 2011 meeting for that item. Vice-Chair Corcoran, Commissioner Doyle, and Commissioner Tollini all indicated their availability. Director of Community Development Anderson reported that the Town Council approved the land use permits for the recreation facility on Ned's Way and now it is a question of whether the Council will fund the project. He noted that the Downtown Vibrancy program is also underway and a community-wide workshop will be held on March 10th from 6:30-9:30pm at Tarantino Hall at Saint Hilary Church. NEW BUSINESS 1. CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO THE TOWN COUNCIL REGARDING A ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT THAT WOULD PROVIDE A ONE- YEAR TIME EXTENSION FOR APPROVED, UNEXPIRED DESIGN REVIEW PERMITS; TOWN COUNCIL INITIATED APPLICATION; File # MCA 2011-01 Mr. Anderson said that this item was discussed by the Town Council at the recent Town Council Staff retreat, and the Council gave direction to staff to move forward with preparation and processing of an ordinance extending design review approvals. Due to the continuing poor economy, this ordinance would grant an automatic one-year extension of existing, unexpired TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - FEBRUARY 23, 2011 MINUTES NO. 1007 PAGE 1 Design Review approvals. He noted that Design Review approvals are the only frequently issued planning permits that expire without the possibility of applying for a time extension. He said that this ordinance would extend any Design Review approval made since May 2008. Commissioner Tollini asked if any consideration was given to extend the building permit expiration date as well. Mr. Anderson said that there are multiple extensions possible for building permits. Mr. Watrous noted that Design Review time limits can lapse without any work on the project, whereas the building permit is pulled only when construction is about to begin. Commissioner Doyle asked how this affects projects for which construction has already been started. Mr. Watrous said that anyone who has already received the building permit does not need a Design Review extension, but if they have not done enough to vest the building permit, and they allow both the Design Review and building permit to expire, then they must start the entire process over. Vice-Chair Corcoran open and closed the public hearing as there was no one wishing to speak. Commissioners Doyle and Tollini supported adoption of the time extension ordinance. Vice- Chair Corcoran noted the effect of the additional one-year extension could cause additional political pressure on the Town Council for further extensions, but he supported the resolution. ACTION: It was M/S (Tollini/Doyle) to adopt the Resolution as drafted. Motion carried: 3-0. 2. CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO TOWN COUNCIL TO ACCEPT THE ANNUAL GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION STATUS REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2010 Mr. Watrous stated that State law requires cities and towns to prepare an annual report dealing with the status of its General Plan. Tiburon's General Plan was last reviewed in March, 2010. He stated that there had been some progress on the plan, especially in those areas regarding the adoption of the updated zoning ordinance and the Open Space Management Plan. He asked the Planning Commission to review the report and make any recommendations. Vice-Chair Corcoran opened the floor to public comments, but no one wished to speak. Commissioner Tollini asked how the ongoing priorities have been categorized as higher or lower. Mr. Anderson said that there is variation from program to program in terms of priority, and it depends on levels of commitment, resources and needs. Commissioner Tollini noted no progress has been made on some high priority items such as the bicycle improvements at the Mar West Street/Tiburon Boulevard intersection. Mr. Watrous responded that at times the easier projects are completed before the more complex projects, even though they are a lower priority, as it can sometimes take longer to deal with multiple jurisdictions and more expensive projects. Mr. Anderson added that these improvements were essentially tied to future signalization of the intersection, which did not yet meet any Caltrans warrants for signalization, and were probably still many years away from completion. TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - FEBRUARY 23, 2011 MINUTES NO. 1007 PAGE 2 Commissioner Tollini requested clarification of the housing unit totals in the Housing Element portion of the document. Watrous responded that he would clarify the unit totals in the document. Vice-Chair Corcoran asked about the issue of preferential parking for residents to be established by the Town. Mr. Anderson said that this issue has been raised as part of the ongoing Downtown Vibrancy process and may be explored further as that process moves forward. ACTION: It was M/S (Doyle/Tollini) to recommend that the Town Council accept the Annual General Plan Implementation Status Report, as amended. Motion carried: 3-0. 3. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION DENYING THE APPEAL OF DETERMINATION OF INCOMPLETENESS FOR A TREE PERMIT TO REMOVE EIGHTEEN (18) EUCALYPTUS TREES FROM COMMON OPEN SPACE PROPERTY; Vista Tiburon Homeowners Association, Owners and Applicants; Assessor's Parcel No. 038- 450-21 There were no public comments.
