They carried a petition asking the Town to consider and implement measures to calm traffic and increase compliance on this small, winding street. They received overwhelming support and the original, signed petitions are included with this letter. The Board of Directors of the Lyford Cove-Old Tiburon Neighborhood Association adopted the following statement: "The Board of Directors of the Lyford Cove-Old Tiburon Homeowners Association is concerned that conditions and driving behavior on our local streets pose safety problems for children, drivers, pedestrians and pets. The attached petitions carry over 113 signatures from 92 households in support of calming traffic speeds and increasing observance of stop signs along the entire length of Centro Street. We urge the Town of Tiburon to consider and implement measures to achieve this goal. " We hope the Town will be able to respond favorably and we wish to thank Mike Cronin and Nick Nguyen for their cheerful and timely assistance.

Morehouse California Public Utilities Commission Telecommunications Division 505 Van Ness Avenue, 3`d Floor San Francisco, CA 94102 Re: Area Code 415 Relief Dear Ms. Morehouse: 1,0;c 3- l I_,ap or, I am writing as the Chair of The Mar' Telecommunications Agency (MTA), a Joint tr:r z r Powers Authority comprised of the County of Marin and ten cities/towns in Mann County. The eleven member Board is comprised of a City Council member from each of the ite e irs cities/towns and a Marin County Board of Supervisor. ¢ At its February 13, 2013 meeting the MTA Board considered the options for area code 415 4 t € i;t' 1' 3~.~i L*~,• f-=? relief presented at the CPUC Public meetings on January 16 & 17, 2013. The Board members present voted unanimously to support the Overlay option for area code 415 relief since this option would allow current customers to keep their 415 area code and telephone (`!'M numbers. This ability to retain a 415 area code is a key concern for our community. The r`t f j r.c:.zf zr• overlay option would also result in significantly less disruption for current customers since there would be no need to change or update records as would be necessary with the "split" k. ~ qle t R t Isse l l option if there was an area code change. t IY:_1O~' i of l~0,~ I would also like to take this opportunity on behalf of the MTA to thank you for conducting "o,, i L,or)41 the four CPUC public meetings regarding area code 415. In order to have the meeting content available to our community our Community Media Center of Marin video recorded the two meetings in San Rafael for broadcast on our local public, education and government (PEG) channels on Comcast channels 26/27/30 and AT&T channel 99. These -.=•l Rcsf:iel videos are also available for streaming so the public will continue to have access to the content of the meetings as the area code 415 relief process continues: 44 fFf { y CPUC Area Code 415 January 17, 2013 Public Meeting - San Rafael 2 PM http:Hmarinty mirocommunity org/video/11542/marin-county-415-area-code-mee CPUC Area Code 415 January 17, 2013 Public Meeting - San Rafael 7 PM http://marintv.miroconmiunity.org/video/I 1543/marin-county-415-area-code-mee fl;`= We look forward to a favorable "overlay" decision.

V.I 5JQ.N............................ COUNTY OF MARIN NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a hearing will be held by the Planning Commission on February 25, 2013 starting at 1:00 pm or after at the Planning Commission Chambers (Suite #328 - Administration Building) Civic Center, San Rafael, California. The subject of the hearing will be the merits of the draft Multi-family Residential Design Guidelines. The Planning Commission action will be to review the public record and recommend adoption of the guidelines to the Board of Supervisors. The Multi-family Residential Design Guidelines (MFR guidelines) are intended to define positive design attributes and set clear expectations regarding the character of multi-unit and mixed-use buildings in unincorporated Marin County communities. The MFR guidelines provide general design criteria that would apply in every type of community. This includes building proportion,_ scale, and relationship to the public realm, street frontages, building materials, outdoor space, lighting and landscaping. Additional place-based guidelines promote context-sensitive design through specific design criteria for residential neighborhoods, mixed-use centers, and rural towns. Guidelines also set forth criteria for parking placement, street improvements, and paths. Acceptable development patterns for each type of place are described. The design criteria in the guidelines will provide a basis for Design Review findings in project review and approval. The MFR guidelines will help implement Program DES-1.e (Expand Design Guidelines) of the Marin Countywide Plan. The certified 2007 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Marin Countywide Plan (CWP) adequately evaluated the Multi-family Residential Design Guidelines, which functions as an implementing program to the CWP. A subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required because the proposed project does not include substantial changes involving new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects, nor does the proposal involve new information that was not known at the time the EIR for the CWP was certified. In lieu of hard copies, the staff report and attachments will be available online after February 15, 2013 at: wwAl.marincounty.org/multifamily. A copy is also available for public review at the Community Development Agency, Planning Division, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday- Thursday (closed Fridays). Oral and written comments may be presented to the Planning Commission at the hearing. Written material for the Planning Commissioners should be submitted to the Community Development Agency at least 10 business days prior to the meeting date. Any written material submitted after this date will be distributed to the Planning Commission prior to or at the meeting. Public comments may be directed to the Planning Commission, via email to multifamilycmarincounty.org, fax to (415) 473-7880, or mailed to the Community Development Agency at the address below. More information may be found on the MFR guidelines website (www.marincounty.org/multifamily) or Planning Commission website (http://www.co.marin.ca.us/deptslCD/main/pingcom video.cfm). Written material should not be mailed or delivered directly to Planning Commissioners because it will not be accepted or considere part of the administrative record for the project.
