Our community needs a larger library - this current plan is too massive. I further object to parking in the rear next to the marsh and wild life habit. My final comment is that a library is a library - not a community center, with retail and food services.

I hope that you will consider our perspective as a family that lives in the immediate vicinity of the proposed building in your decision on Wednesday evening. Thank you for your consideration. Doug, Becky, Charlie and Lily Scott I E'EIWE JUL 2) 2012 TOWN CLERK TOWN OF TIBURON 7/25/2012 July 23, 2012 Re: Library Expansion Dear Tiburon Town Council, My wife Becky and I recently moved to 37 Cove Road, which is directly across Tiburon Boulevard from the Belvedere-Tiburon Library. As parents of two small children (Charlie, 5, and Lily, 2), we were thrilled to be living in such close proximity to such a wonderful library. When we initially heard about the plans for some expansion of the library, we didn't think much about it. Once the story poles were erected, though, we got very concerned. We have been very much enjoying a view of the Old St. Hilary's open preserve from our home and the structure suggested by the new story poles will block much of that view. In addition, having not been here for a full winter yet, we are not sure which of the trees in our backyard are deciduous and, should they drop their leaves, the new structure, which is built quite close to the road, will be looming large over our backyard. We are concerned for the impact this will have on both our lifestyle and our property value. Ultimately, our concern is not particularly with the concept of library expansion, but with whether or not we will have a chance to discuss the current proposed design and its impact on the nearest residents. In looking at the available space around the library today, it appears that multiple designs could be considered upon the property that might not have as negative an impact on local residents. Our understanding is that the vote on Wednesday night is a "final" vote on the current design, with no further opportunities or intentions to consider the inputs of the community. Given that, we urge you to vote against the design as currently drafted.

Dear Mayor and Town Council Members: I am writing in opposition to the application of the Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency for Design Review of its proposed plans for an unnecessary expansion of the existing library facility. The proposed design before you for approval will not add more book space, the size, blockage of views of the hills, and close proximity to the street is unacceptable. We feel that additional meeting rooms and another cafe are unnecessary in Tiburon. The time is now to NOT APPROVE this design. This form letter will be familiar to you. The library used the email addresses in their system to inundate us, library members, with letters urging our support for the approval of the Library Expansion. The "opposition to the Library Expansion" does not have the advantage of the complete library mailing list to reach out and ask members to voice their opinion.
