I am writing to express my support for the Aramburu Island Enhancement Project, currentlyMargaret A. Curran
being implemented by the Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary, in conjunction Town Manager
with the Marin County Department of Parks and Open Space. As a local government official
representing the Town of Tiburon, I value our natural resources and feel that it is critical we
do our best to ensure that our protected areas provide the best possible habitat for wildlife
while protecting our valuable coastlines.
I fully support using settlement monies from the Cosco Busan oil spill to fund the current
plan to remove non-native plants, increase cover of native plants, and expand seasonal
wetlands and tidal marsh that will ultimately improve habitat for resident and migratory
birds. Urban and industrial development around the entire San Francisco Bay, and the Marin
coastline in particular, have greatly limited habitat for native birds and wildlife. Enhancing
habitat within Richardson Bay is critical for the large numbers of water birds that visit the
site each year, earning Richardson Bay the designation of an "Important Bird Area". The
Aramburu Island Project is an important step in creating the types of habitat that were once
common on Richardson Bay more than a century ago.
In addition, the Aramburu Island Project will reduce the rate of erosion on the eastern side of
Aramburu Island that currently contributes to increased sedimentation in Richardson Bay.
By firming up the eastern shoreline, this project will mitigate the effects of sea level rise.
The following goals of the project are directly aligned with the goals of the DARP:
• Habitat improvements at Aramburu Island _
• Creation and improvement of bird roosting habitat
• Oyster bed restoration at multiple sites around the Bay
• Recreational use improvements, via a new kayak picnic ar--a on the island
/0
Additionally, Aramburu Island is a logical choice for this funding, as more than 100 oil-
covered water birds were found on Aramburu Island in the days after the Cosco Busan spi
It should also be known that Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Marin County have done
an excellent job keeping the community informed throughout the Aramburu Island Project,
and I have been provided ample opportunity to learn more about this project, and to provide
input when appropriate. They have held four public meetings during which they answered
questions and addressed many concerns. Audubon also posts work days and opportunities to
assist with the project on their website to fully engage the community.
Audubon's track record of collaborative restoration and research projects around the Bay
confirms that they are taking this project seriously, and that they will be thoughtful and
thorough in its execution. Nationally recognized organizations such as Point Reyes Bird
Observatory (PRBO) Conservation Science, San Francisco State University (SFSU), and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) repeatedly partner with
Audubon, which indicates that they are a valuable and reputable partner. In fact, Audubon
successfully restored tidal marsh habitat in San Pablo Bay in partnership with the San Pablo
Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
In conclusion, I support the work of Richardson Bay Audubon Center and Marin County, and
believe that this project will greatly benefit wildlife, habitats, and the people of San Francisco
Bay, and will contribute to a healthier Bay. Richardson Bay Audubon is a leader in
environmental stewardship and habitat restoration in the Bay Area. Audubon continues to
ensure the protection of the Bay, from which we will all benefit. I am happy to see Cosco
Busan Settlement funds support this project.
Sincerely,
Margaret Curran

Subject: Letter from Tiburon Peninsula Foundation regarding Improvements to the
Railroad Trestle Berm and Surrounding Area at Blackie's Pasture
Earlier this year the Tiburon Peninsula Foundation received a $25,000 grant from the Rocky Fund
to make improvements to the old railroad berm in Blackie's Pasture. The goal was to allow the
berm to reemerge as a visible historic landmark and to generally re-contour and beautify the
surrounding area, which has been seriously degraded over the years with debris, overgrown
foliage and other alterations to the topography. The TPF and Landmarks Society also plan,
eventually, to install appropriate plaques denoting the historic significance of these features.
The attached letter describes efforts to date of the TPF, which has been coordinating closely with
staff to achieve its goals. The letter also requests that the Town make a financial contribution to
the project, which has grown somewhat in size due to unanticipated site conditions beyond the
control of TPF.
The Town Council approved $15,000 in the current budget for work in Blackie's Pasture
specifically anticipating that some ancillary work to the TPF effort might be needed and
worthwhile, especially related to beautifying the frontage. Regarding the specific request, staff
has spoken with Arlene Nielsen, who has been leading the TPF effort, and concluded that the
TPF should fund the work mentioned in the letter because it being conducted under a private
contract to which the Town is not a party, but that the Town could then step in with its funds and
cover some of the beautification effort the grant would otherwise have available to fund. This is
consistent with the original intention of those funds and does not require any Council action to
accommodate.
Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns regarding this plan.
Thank you.

and landscape Blackie's Berm and surrounding area.
Sonja Bohannon
Dear Peggy,
Leslie Doyle
Nancy George
At your request, I am writing this letter to inform you and the
David Holscher
Council of the progress we have made clearing and cleaning
Art Kern
Blackie's Berm and its surroundings.
Elizabeth Kilgore
Ed Lynch
First, I must say how much we appreciate the guidance, support
Arlene Nielsen
and cooperation we have received from you, Scott Anderson, Nick
Steve Sears
Nguyen and Joel Brewer. Thank you.
Jeff Smith
Petey Stein
When we cleared and cleaned the brush around the front and the
east side of the berm, we discovered the ugly mess that is now so
visible. It was obvious that the cutting of the "road" and the loads
of debris that had been dumped in the area over the years had
altered the original topography.
EMERITUS
When we met on October 4t' with you, Nick and Scott, Ed Lynch
Mogens Bach
reported that we had contacted Rob Poole, a local excavating
Piper Berger
contractor, who thought it would take a day or possibly two with
Robin Daly
one piece of equipment to smooth and contour the area with three
George Gnoss
very clear objectives:
Barbara Mathew
Jim Mitchell
1) Proper drainage, correcting the changes that have affected the
Sylvia Ross
now,
Larry Smith
2) Ease of maintainability by allowing for tractor mowing in the
Gary Spratling
future, and
3) A pleasing appearance.
www.tiburonpeninsulafoundation.org
Site Meeting with Contractor and Town Staff
Monday we met with Joel Brewer and Rob Poole. at the site. Joel brought us
the map Nick had prepared for the drainage that included the addition of
riprap at the mouth of the culver.
Rob agrees with you, Peggy, that the ugly stumps, old pipes, cement debris...
should be removed from the site.
With this added information and a more careful analysis of the terrain, Rob
made the following recommendations:
1) To efficiently pick up and remove the objectionable debris, he would
need an excavator, in addition to a bulldozer. He would cart away the
debris in his dump truck.
2) He would contour the area and level the mounds according to Nick's
instructions for proper drainage and would include the placing of riprap
at the mouth of the culver.
3) He recommended that once the equipment is in place, we remove the
remaining broom along the side of the road and in the "valley" between
the road and the berm.
4) He advises that we cover the area with rye grass and straw to winterize
the bare dirt. In his opinion rye grass germinates very quickly, is
attractive and acts as herbicide preventing broom re-growth.
Desirable Improvements in Surrounding Area
It became clear to all us that with a few extra hours we could also address
some peripheral problem areas: the small and unsightly mound left by PG&E
by the highway that is now being used by kids for a dangerous bicycle jump,
clearing the other side of the culver channel and placing riprap there also,
smoothing the area on the sides of the path parallel to the berm so that area
too can be more easily mowed and maintained. Joel approved and, with your
permission, we would be happy to include these in the job.
Joel Brewer said he would be available to supervise all the excavating,
smoothing and contouring work and, with your approval, we are prepared to
undertake it.
Rockey Grant Funds
The grant the TPF received from the Rockey Fund for the "beautification of
Blackie's Pasture and Berm" was $25,000.
So far we have expended less than $10,000. We have been able to do
miracles with this amount thanks to many hours of volunteer work including
clearing the top and the west side of the berm and the engineering analysis of
the topographical changes. Mill Valley Refuse contributed two debris boxes.
TPF Request to Town of Tiburon
[Just last night we received the proposal from Rob Poole that includes 3 days
of work starting today. We have accepted it.]
We would like to request from the Town of Tiburon help in paying the dump
fees to dispose of the debris that Rob Pool estimates will be around $4,000.
Also, help in buying the straw we would like to use to properly winterize the
exposed dirt and the purchase of the appropriate seed mix to beautify the area
and discourage undesirable plants. Unfortunately, we have not had time to
price these items.
Future Plans
TPF hopes to have the Berm and surrounding area clean, cleared and properly
sculpted so that our partners, Landmarks and the Master Gardeners, can
proceed with their plans.
Landmarks: The Berm and trestle remains have historical importance for
our community. Dave Gotz, Landmarks Archivist, has already spent many
hours of volunteer time pulling broom and cutting weeds from the top of the
berm. They already have plans and a fabulous picture for a beautiful
historical plaque at the tip of the berm. TPF plans to work with them
installing it.
Master Gardeners: For many years, the Town of Tiburon, the City of
Belvedere, the Belvedere Community Foundation and the Tiburon Peninsula
Foundation, in collaboration, have supported Harvey Rogers and Blackie's
Garden, a jewel of a garden. We hope we can build a similar network in the
years to come to enable them to create a beautiful, natural and maintainable
landscape at the major entrance to our Peninsula.
We appreciate that you and the Council have had faith in us by allowing us to
proceed with this project in a "discovery mode," planning as we go along.
We hope we have reassured you that we have been careful, prudent and
resourceful and that we have always kept you fully informed and involved in
our plans.
S' cerely,
lene Nielsen

From: Peggy Curran, Town Manager
Michael Cronin, Chief of Police
Subject: Letter of Support for MERA Antenna at Easton Point (Martha Company
Property)
Attached is a draft letter, for the Mayor's signature, regarding.a proposed MERA antenna on the
Martha property. It is consistent with, and essentially reaffirms, the comment letter the Town
sent to the County on April 26, 2011 during the Draft Environmental Impact Report process.
In the coming months, the County Board of Supervisors will take action regarding certification of
the Martha project EIR. The attached letter was prepared at the urging of the staff of the County
Public Works Department, MERA (a joint powers authority) and the Tiburon Fire District, all of
which wish to see the Town confirm its support for inclusion of this important public safety
enhancement as a mitigation measure in the EIR.
Unless the Town Council elects to direct staff otherwise at the next Town Council meeting (when
this week's Digest will be listed on the agenda), staff will seek the Mayor's signature and
dispatch the letter.
Thank you.

Re: Easton Point (Martha Company) Proposed Development
Dear Supervisor Kinsey,
I am writing to express my concern about an important issue affecting the safety
of our community.
On April 26, 2011, the Tiburon Town Council approved comments on the
Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Easton Point (Martha
Company) Project. In paragraph 18 on page 5 of its letter to the County,
the Town stated its concern over the lack of public safety radio (MERA)
coverage as excerpted below:
18. to provide adequate public safety protection
on-site, public safety personnel on the site must
be able to communicate with related off-site
persons. This continuum of communication is
critical for rapid and effective response and
deployment in the event of fire or other
emergency. The general area of the project site is
not well-covered by MERA and the project will
introduce a considerable number of new persons
and structures into that area. Accordingly, the
Final EIR should include a mitigation measure
that would improve MERA coverage for the
entire area. Any new communication facility
should be located adjacent to planned or existing
water tanks to minimize their visual impact.

Tiburon Police Chief Michael Cronin and Tiburon Fire District Chief
Richard Pearce have stated their unequivocal belief that a new MERA
antenna is essential for effective public safety communications in and
around the project area and is an indispensable element in the protection
of the public and our police officers and fire fighters.
In that this project will soon be before the Board of Supervisors for final
determination, I wish to reiterate the Town's sentiments as set forth in its
letter of last April and express support for the construction of a MERA

SUBJECT: Review of Letter from Stephan C. Volker to Scott Anderson,
Town of Tiburon, dated October 5, 2011
Regarding Comments of Alan and Janice Fenster on Belvedere-Tiburon
Library Expansion Project and Environmental Impact Report
As requested, I reviewed the above letter from Stephan V. Volker, attorney for Alan and Janice
Fenster, regarding the proposed library expansion project and adequacy of the Environmental
Impact Report (DEIR). My memo to you of 7 September 2011 provides a detailed review of the
conclusions in the EIR with regard to potential impacts on biological resources, the adequacy of
proposed setback distances, recommendations from the Railroad Marsh Management Plan, and
conformance with the Tiburon General Plan, together with my conclusions over the significance
of the potential impacts of the proposed project. As I stated in that memo, in my opinion the EIR
is overly conservative regarding the significance of potential impacts of the library expansion
project on biological resources, particularly the remote potential for occurrence of special-status
species and the relationship of the setback zone to nearby Railroad Marsh. Both the proposed
library expansion protect and Alternative D, recommended as the environmentally superior
alternative in the EIR, include provisions that would prevent any direct or indirect impacts on
wetlands and essential habitat for special-status species, and would serve to enhance the
habitat values of nearby Railroad Marsh. These enhancements include installation of barrier
fencing to prevent access by dogs into the marsh as well as installation of native tree, shrub, and
groundcover plantings that would greatly increase the habitat value of the poor quality non-native
grasslands that separate Railroad Marsh from the existing library.
Contrary to the assertion by Mr. Volker, the EIR provides an overly conservative assessment of
the potential impacts of the project on biological resources, including exhaustive mitigation
measures that are designed to ensure no inadvertent take of California red-legged frog and
other sensitive resources. Mr. Volker incorrectly assumes that because Mitigation Measure BIO-
2a includes provisions to excavate burrows within the limits of grading to confirm absence of any
California red-legged frogs on the site, that this must mean that frogs are present. There is no
evidence that frogs occupy the site, or even nearby Railroad Marsh at this point. But because
some amphibians are known to retreat into burrows of gophers and other ground dwelling
animals, the EIR biologist recommended a very conservative method to make sure no frogs
were present. This is a standard measure for ground dwelling species such as adult California
tiger salamander, but is rarely applied to California red-legged frog, and typically only when the
water source is seasonal and there is no nearby surface water available, which is not the case at
Railroad Marsh. Inspecting each burrow is a labor intensive procedure, but would ensure that in
the remote instance a frog was present in Railroad Marsh, dispersed onto the site, and sought
refuge in an existing burrow, that it would not be destroyed during grading and construction, but
would be relocated to the marsh. Keeping the excavated burrows open after inspection ensures
that any dispersing frog does not return to the burrow before construction proceeds. Installation
of the frog barrier fencing and preconstruction surveys by a qualified biologist would serve to
confirm that no frogs remain within the limits of proposed construction. The intent of the
mitigation measure is not an "announced intention to take this species" as suggested by Mr.
Volker, but ensure that an inadvertent take is avoided in the remote instance that a frog
disperses onto the site, as unlikely as that may be.
Similarly, the provision in Mitigation Measure BIO-2a that all work stop and the USFWS and
CDFG be consulted in the remote instance a California red-legged frog is encountered is not a
deferral of mitigation. These agency must be consulted if a listed species such as California red-
legged frog is encountered on any site. Because this species is not suspected to occur on the
site, no provisions for compensatory mitigation have been defined in Mitigation Measure BIO-2a.
The focus of the provisions of this measure are to ensure no inadvertent take occurs in the
remote instance that an individual frog would for some reason disperse from the secure cover
provided by Railroad Marsh and enter the exposed conditions of the site immediately in advance
of initiating construction. Again this is highly unlikely to occur, but the measure defines an
adequate procedure for how to address this scenario and acknowledges that the resource
agencies could have additional requirements they would impose on the project if an individual
frog is encountered.
My memo of 7 September 2011 provides a detailed review of the adequacy of the proposed
setback distances from Railroad Marsh, which have been confirmed by the EIR biologist as well,
and I won't address Mr. Volker's comments regarding General Plan Policy OSC-20 and the
Railroad Marsh Management Plan again in this memo.
I trust this provides you with useful information regarding this matter. Please let me know if you
have any questions regarding the above.

Dear Mr. Anderson:
RE: Review of the Town of Tiburon's Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting Tiburon's revised draft housing element update received for
review on August 10, 2011 along with revisions received on September 20, 26, and
October 7, 2011. The Department is required to review draft housing elements and report
the findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). The review
was facilitated by communications with you. In addition, we considered comments from
Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California pursuant to Section 65585(c).
The revised draft element addresses the statutory requirements described in the
Department's April 12, 2011 review. For example, the element now includes programs to
assist the development of housing for extremely low-income households. As a result, the
revised element will comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the Government
Code) when adopted and submitted to the Department, pursuant to Government Code
Section 65585(g).
To identify adequate sites to accommodate the Town's regional housing need for lower-
income households, the element identifies the Reed School Site. However, the site has not
yet been declared surplus and requires other actions such as school board approval prior to
being available for development. As a result, the Town must monitor and report on the
effectiveness of Program H-y to facilitate development on the Reed School Site through the
annual progress report required pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. Should
monitoring reveal the Reed School Site and strategies to encourage its use for housing are
not effective in making the Site available for development in the planning period, the element
must be amended to identify additional sites at appropriate densities and add or revise
programs, as appropriate. For example, if meetings in 2011 indicate the Reed School Site
will not be available or progress is not made by April 2012, the element should be
immediately be amended to identify additional sites at appropriate densities and add or
revise programs, as appropriate.
Mr. Scott Anderson, Director
