The Council specifically asked me to write a letter on their behalf thanking you and your aide, Jenny Callaway, for your tireless efforts to make the agreement a reality. Quite literally, this would not have happened without Jenny's persistence and we are very grateful. Under the agreement, Cal Fire will provide what is known as initial assault protection for fiscal years 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15. This protection is not complete or pernlanent, but it provides us with a critical safety net while we find a broader solution. The Tiburon Fire Protection District has indicated its interest in annexing Angel Island to its territory, which would be the ideal outcome. We will keep you advised as we explore that avenue. 1 Thank you again, on behalf of the Council an a of us who love Angel Island! i Sincer 1 Jim > fir, Ma or/ Town of Tiburon r Jim `Fraser Mayor Emmett O'Donnell Vice Mayor Richard' Collins Councilmember Frank Doyle Councilmember Alice Fredericks Councitmember Margaret A.

We have a much improved project thanks to your thoughtful study of the design, the revisions requested and the hard work and effort by you and town hall staff to bring us to this critical step in the process. With your actions we now look forward to creating a 21St Century library of which our community can be proud.

I have been a resident and taxpayer of Tiburon since 1997. The library as it exists today is a valuable and well used resource by myself and my family. However every time I enter the library it seems active, but far from over- crowded. The expansion, while attractively planned, is too big for our town and I oppose it. The fact that the expansion is being paid for by private funds is pleasant but irrelevant (although I could imagine the reaction if another tax was being proposed...). Thanks Very Much Stephen M.

The project consists of a 48-space parking lot, undergrounding of existing aerial utility lines, improved bus stop area, retaining wall, and landscaping. Initial work activities will include removal of vegetation, temporary utility pole relocation, and grading of the property. The prime contractor for this project is Michael Paul Company, Inc. They will be providing additional notices through the use of door tags and flyers as they mobilize onto the site. Weather-permitting, the entire project is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year. Access to Tiburon Blvd at Lyford Drive from the Multi-Use Path (MUP) will be closed off at times. Temporary lane closure for material and equipment drop-off, construction noise, and dust/debris are anticipated. However, we will work with the contractor to mitigate these impacts as much as reasonably possible. Your patience and cooperation are most appreciated.

STAFF BRIEFING Planning Manager Watrous stated that the appeal for 2308 Mar East Street and the appeal for Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market will take place at the August 15, 2012 Town Council meeting, and the appeal for 440 Ridge Road will take place at the September 5, 2012 Council meeting. He said that the items for 40 Delmar Drive, 83 Claire Way, and 87 Rancho Drive have all been continued to the August 2, 2012 meeting. D. OLD BUSINESS 1. 40 DELMAR DRIVE: File No. 712029; Ashley Anderson and Jennifer Wang, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single-family dwelling. The applicants propose to construct a second story addition and attached to an existing single- story house. The floor area of the proposed house would be increased by 1,412 square feet, resulting in a total floor area of 4,399 square feet, with an additional 600 square feet of garage space.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND NEW BUSINESS 2. 650 TIBURON BOULEVARD: File No. 712063; Lisa and Frederick Winston, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a new single-family dwelling, with a secondary dwelling unit. The applicants propose to demolish and existing single-family dwelling and secondary dwelling unit and construct a two-story residence with an attached secondary dwelling unit on the lower level. The floor area of the proposed house would be 4,795 square feet, with a lot coverage of 12.9%. A swimming pool and spa would also be constructed. Assessor's Parcel No. 055-171-13. Vice-Chair Emberson was recused from participating on this item. The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of a new two-story single-family dwelling and attached secondary dwelling unit on property located at 650 Tiburon Boulevard. The subject site is currently developed with an existing one-story dwelling and secondary dwelling unit that will be demolished as part of this project. The main floor of the house would include a living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, media room, breakfast nook, powder room, laundry room, a master bedroom suite TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #10 7/19/12 and three more bedrooms and two additional bathrooms. The lower floor would a one-bedroom, 543 square foot secondary dwelling unit, an exercise room, wine storage and a utility room. A two-car garage and workshop would be attached to the lower level. A swimming pool and spa would be located in the southern portion of the lot. The house would cover a total of 3,774 square feet (12.9%) of the site, which would be less than the 30.0% maximum lot coverage permitted in the R-1 zone. The calculated floor area of the proposed house would be 4,795 square feet, which less than the floor area ratio for a lot of this size. Jared Polsky, architect, thanked Mr. Watrous for his thorough staff report. He said that they were not asking for any variances for the project and spent a great deal of time siting the new house to be sure it would not block the neighbors' views or light. He said that they erected story poles as a test a few months ago and the owner, Lisa Winston, met with uphill neighbors to be sure they were not blocking views. Mr. Polsky described the house as a clean and contemporary aesthetic design and said that they could possibly reduce the height of the chimney so it is about 18 inches above the roof. He stated that they met with the uphill neighbor a few times and received an email late that afternoon expressing some concerns. He said that they had moved the house back and it would touch the setback at only one location. He said that the farther back they push the house on the site the more the roof would be kept out of the uphill neighbor's view. He said that they propose three skylights at the stairs, master bath, and hallway, and a portable barbecue in the rear yard. He said the window in the media room would be behind thick landscape screening, but if this is a problem, they could reduce the size of that window. He said that all landscape lighting would be low wattage, screened, and downward facing. He said they did not propose to remove any trees but the Fire District instructed them to remove the cedar and old growth pine since they are seen as fire hazards. Frederick Winston, owner, said that they are outgrowing their current home, fell in love with the property in Tiburon and want to be very respectful of other people's privacy and views. He said that from the beginning they reached out to the neighbors and had a very good experience with all of them. He said that they tried to be very conscious of the neighbors' concerns and he thought that they had found a design that would respect the constraints of the property. The public hearing was opened. Curt Himy said that he was in favor of the project but did not want his house de-valued. He voiced concerns about the dwelling coming back toward his house quite significantly as well as its height. He said that it was difficult to tell exactly how the project would affect his property. He was also concerned about light from the skylights at night affecting his view of the city and was adamantly opposed to the removal of the cedar tree because it would completely expose his property. He asked if it was possible to push back on the removal of that tree and the large pine tree and said that it would be great if the chimney did not have to be veneer because he was concerned it will come off. He did not know what type of exposure would occur directly into his house from the media room and voiced concern that the highest part of the house would protrude over the hedges. Mr. Polsky clarified that the media room window would look toward the side of Mr. Himy's house and there was a large amount of landscaping and hedges proposed to block that area. The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Johnson said that this was a very interesting and complex area to design a house, where the houses feel somewhat like they are piled on top of each other. He found this house's design to be responsive to the property and respectful of the zoning. He noted that the removal of the trees was a Fire TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #10 7/19/12 District issue and he did not know what could be done. He said that the height of the dwelling fit well into the area and he liked the style, believing that it would work very well on the site. Boardmember Tollini agreed and said that his first impression was that this is a sensitive design for the site and had been done quite thoughtfully. He said that there would be some impact, but felt that this fit in the category of responsible change and would not be materially impactful. However, he was sympathetic to the loss of the trees. Chair Kricensky agreed with the other Boardmembers and said that it was nice to see a design that was sensitive to the site in both horizontal and vertical positioning. He liked the house and the fact that the planes and elevations work well. He thought that the barbecue location was probably not any closer than many conditions around Tiburon. He agreed that it would be preferable to keep the trees but the Fire Marshall has the final word on this. He suggested reducing the chimney to a simple flue that would be painted black. He also believed that the media room windows could create a large blue glow at night and he suggested they should not rely on landscaping to do the screening. Therefore, he suggested adding louvers to the media room window to reduce the impact of that lighting. Mr. Watrous said that the standard condition for skylights was not included in the draft conditions of approval and a condition of approval needed to be added stating that the skylight glass must be tinted and lights cannot be placed in the wells. Boardmember Johnson suggested reducing the size of the media room window, especially since the tree removal would open the area up. Chair Kricensky agreed and said that either louvers or eliminating the windows would help. ACTION: It was M/S (Johnson/Tollini) that the request for 650 Tiburon Boulevard is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the request, subject to the attached conditions of approval, and the additional conditions of approval that the skylights must use tinted glass with no lights placed in the wells; the chimney be reduced to the minimum size required by code; and the media room windows either be eliminated or louvers installed to reduce light impact to neighbors. Vote: 3-0-1 (Emberson recused). 3. 83 CLAIRE WAY: File No. 21213; Samsak and Nardrdee Kamloonwasaraj, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with Variances for reduced front and excess lot coverage. The applicants propose to construct additions to the front and rear of an existing single-story house. The floor area of the proposed house would be increased by 890 square feet, resulting in a total floor area of 2,185 square feet. The additions would extend to within 16 feet of the front property line, which is less than the 20 front yard setback required in the R-1-BA zone. The project would cover 32.3% of the lot, which is greater than the 30.0% maximum lot coverage permitted in the R-1-BA zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 034-114-15. CONTINUED TO 8/2/12 4. 488 WASHINGTON COURT: File No. 21215; Clinton and Tina Yee, Owners; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with a Variance for reduced side yard setback. The applicants propose to construct an addition to the front of the house and a second story addition to an existing single-story house. The floor area of the proposed house would be increased by 1,731 square feet, resulting in a total floor area of 2,752 square feet. The additions would extend to within 6 feet, 10 inches of the side property line, which are less than the 8 foot side yard setbacks required in the R-1 zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 034-251-29. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #10 7/19/12 Vice-Chair Emberson re joined the meeting. Boardmember Tollini left the meeting. The applicant is requesting to construct additions to an existing single-family dwelling, with a variance for reduced side yard setback, located at 488 Washington Court. Currently the property is improved with a single-story dwelling. The proposal would expand the dwelling at the lower level and incorporate a new second story addition to the home. The proposed lower level would include a living room, dining room, great room, kitchen, mudroom, office, a powder room, and a two-car garage. A terrace is proposed at the rear of the dwelling, accessed through the great room and living room. The upper level would include two bedrooms, one bathroom, the master bathroom suite, and a laundry room. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 2,752 square feet, which is at the maximum permitted gross floor area ratio for the property (2,753 sq. ft.). The proposal would result in lot coverage of 2,242 square feet (29.7%) which is also at the maximum permitted lot coverage in the R-1 zone (30.0%). In addition, the minimum required side yard setback in the R-1 zone is eight feet (8'). The proposal to expand the dwelling at the lower level would continue an already existing reduced right side yard setback of six feet, ten inches (6'10"). Therefore, the applicant has requested a variance for reduced side yard setback. Michael Heckmann, architect, said that the owners recently had a baby and are looking for a home, moving from San Francisco. He said that they considered a variety of ways to configure the house with all of the main living areas below and the bedrooms above. He said that they did not want to have a post- modern home, but rather something more traditional. He stated that the home was developed as a more classic look with horizontal wood siding, traditional wood trims, and multi-paned windows. He said that the design includes a number of features to add interest on the street side. Mr. Heckmann added that they incorporated a fair amount of landscaping. Mr. Heckmann stated that the two-story portion of the house would be centered over the main section of the right hand body of the house and would preserve the light and sunlight on the property to the east. He said that they knew this would be a challenge in the neighborhood, but he pointed out that there are some two-story houses across the street and the neighborhood is transitioning. He believed that the homes on the streets above would not be significantly impacted because of the base elevation of those homes. He said that he sent a letter to the adjacent neighbors and the property at 484 Washington Court, which has not been occupied for some time. He said that he met with Max Staley, owner on the east side, and Michael La Torre and they did not have an objection to the house having a second story. He said that they felt quite confident that given the amount of planned landscaping and details on the front and back, there would be a lot of interest generated by the house. He said that they looked at ways to adjust the bedrooms but the only acceptable solution to his clients was to have all of the bedrooms upstairs. The public hearing was opened. Max Staley said that he lives catty-corner across from the property. He said that he was not bothered by the two-story house but did not want the deck to affect his tenants' privacy in their backyard, as there is only 8 feet between the houses. He said that when he saw the story poles he realized that they would lose their view of the hill. He said that when the two-story home was built across the street the landscaping covered a good deal of it. He felt that the current project would be a beautiful home for San Francisco or the hills, but not for a neighborhood like this one, and that the other houses would seem very tiny next to this house. He said that he hated to complain but felt that this very large home would be a total distraction to the neighborhood. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #10 7/19/12 Michael La Torre said that he lives at the end of the street and said that the house does not belong in Belveron Gardens and would be too big for the neighborhood. He said that all of the homes are one-story and while he thought that this was a beautiful design, it did not belong in the neighborhood and they would like to keep their neighborhood the way it is. Robert Sodaro said that they live across the street from the project and agreed with Mr. Staley and Mr. Latorre. He said that his view of the hill would be completely blocked. He said that the house next door to him was limited to 16 feet in height and this one would be 26 feet. He likened it to having a big billboard in front of a home. Jerry Lewis and Owen Chapman said that they live on Irving Court. Mr. Lewis distributed photos of his view showing that it would be obstructed by the proposed addition. He distributed photos taken in early 2007 just before the house at 493 Washington Court was built, and noted that they could see Blackie's Pasture and the Blackie statue from his deck. He said that the house at 493 Washington Court was originally proposed at 18 feet and the DRB reduced it to 17 feet, but when it was built they installed a skylight that completely took away his view of the Blackie statue. He said that he spent $2,000 last year trimming trees around the neighborhood to try to maintain his view and expressed concern that the landscaping for the proposed property would remove his view in the future. He showed photos of the story poles of the proposed project blocking his view of Sausalito Harbor. Mr. Chapman said that his property's view would also be affected, mainly from the terrace. He said that the trees were taking over the view and he has an angled view of the water. He said that the proposed addition would cut off about a third of that water view. Mr. Heckmann agreed that it is an enormous change to go to a two-story house. He said that they tried to find ways to keep it as low as possible, but he did not think that that would solve all of the problems. He said that he would try to find a solution to preserve the neighbors' views but could not react to the issues without visiting their properties. He thought that this house would be a great addition to the neighborhood and felt that many of the homes in the neighborhood would most likely be two stories at some point. He said that he met with all of the neighbors and was surprised that they now have so many objections. The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Johnson said that he liked the design of the house and thought that it would be perfect on the East Coast on a tree-lined street with space between the houses. He understood the demand for two- story houses, but in most cases a house with two full stories has not been right next to other houses. He said that this was a beautifully designed home but the massing did not fit into the context of this neighborhood. He suggested that the applicant provide a design that would be more broken up and fit better into the neighborhood. Vice-Chair Emberson agreed with Boardmember Johnson. She loved the architecture and agreed that it would work on a large lot with trees. She pointed out the other houses described as two stories and said that they are actually one and a half stories. She said that the terrace in the back would break up the massing, but also result in zero privacy for of the neighbors. She did not see a lot of sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood and suggested a way to provide a sensitively-designed house in this neighborhood. Chair Kricensky said that the house design was classic and had its place, but not in this neighborhood. He said that there was previously a two-story proposal in Belveron East where the applicant also wanted all of the bedrooms upstairs. He said that he that this type of design would create a canyon-like effect if repeated in the neighborhood. He said that the terrace would not work in the back because it would TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #10 7/19!12 destroy privacy. He said that a partial second story or a sensitive design could be acceptable. He said that the Board was generally more willing to be flexible on lot coverage to avoid a large second story, and Vice-Chair Emberson agreed. ACTION: It was M/S (Johnson/Emberson) to continue the request for 488 Washington Court to the August 16, 2012 meeting. Vote: 3-0. 5. 87 RANCHO DRIVE: File No. 21211; Terence Andrews, Owner; Site Plan and Architectural Review to legalize as-built construction of additions to an existing detached accessory building and walls and fencing, with Variances for reduced side yard setback and excess wall and fence height. The applicant has constructed a 287 square foot addition to an existing detached accessory building and also constructed a series of retaining walls and fences in the front yard. The addition extends to within 6 feet, 6 inches of the side property line, which is less than the 8 foot side yard setback required in the R-1 zone. The walls and fences have a maximum height of 12 feet, which is greater than the 6 foot maximum wall and fence height. Assessor's Parcel No. 034-202-14. CONTINUED TO 8/2/12 F.
