The Town welcomes your interest and appreciates the time you took to think about Ma the opening and apply for the position. At the time you applied, neither you nor the Town realized that you lived outside of the town limits; unfortunately, when our "tentative" agenda was sent to The Ark, they picked up the fact that you were a candidate tentatively scheduled for an interview for June 5. Don't worry; we have let them know that there was a misunderstanding and your name has indeed been taken off the June 5 Town Council agenda. Once again, thank you for your interest in this position. It is people like you, who love our community that makes Tiburon a special place to live.

That included watering by hose when very hot or very windy to supplement our drip system. Planting Pruning Weeding Dead Heading Installing new plant markers Cleaned up to prepare for our garden tour of May 16 Had the tour May 13 with a very nice turn out. One large shrub ' Cordyline electric pink) was half dead due to dogs peeing on the plant. We transplanted it in a less vulnerable location and spayed white hot pepper as a repellent & put in many 1/4 inch X 2 foot bamboo stakes around the plant so dogs can't get close to it. the other 4 Cordyline are doing fine. We added drip irrigation to the new plants The last group of plants we installed were on June 31St We do not plan to put in any more plants until the last half of Sept. as it is too hot & the roots do not develop during those summer months (the ideal time to plant is early November just as the winter rains start But we often can't get the plants we want in November so times other than summer we get the ones we want.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AMENDMENTS TO MARIN COUNTY CODE TITLE 22 (DEVELOPMENT CODE) STREAM CONSERVATION AREA ORDINANCE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Marin County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider proposed amendments to Marin County Code Title 22 (Development Code) that would modify Title 22 (Development Code) by: (1) establishing Chapter 22.33 (Stream Protection) and Chapter 22.63 (Stream Conservation Aregi Permits); (2) providing new definitions and amending the text of definitions in Chapter 22.130 (Definitions); (3) amending the text of Sections 22.06.050 (Exemptions from Land Use Permit Requirements), 22.08.040 (Agricultural District Development Standards), 22.40 (Application Filing and Processing, Fees), 22.42.025 (Exemptions from Design Review), 22.42.045 (Design Review for Development Along Anadramous Fish Streams and Tributaries), 22.42.055 (Project Review Procedures), 22.56.050 (Decision and Findings for New Second Units) and 22.62.040 (Exemptions) as necessary to effectuate the expansion of regulations for the Stream Conservation Area (SCA). The proposed amendments are applicable to those perennial, intermittent and ephemeral streams identified in the Stream Conservation Area map and data that is maintained and periodically updated by the Marin County Community Development Agency. The proposed amendments to the Development Code are within the scope of the certified 2007 Countywide Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). A subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163 because the project does not involve or result in substantial changes to the 2007 Countywide Plan 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 Countywide Plan was certified. Further, the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15307 and 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines (Classes 7 and 8. Protection of Natural Resources and Protection of the Environment) because the project sets the regulatory framework for permitting in accordance with the CWP and increases protections afforded to streams and riparian habitat as compared with current County regulations.

It would include "ephemeral streams," which are surface runoffs of water during rains. The stream ordinance will: • Impose restrictions on all existing homes and improvements, • Stop new house construction on undeveloped lots, • Require high permit fees and expert reports for minor home improvements, • Depress sales of homes located near streams- what will be the value of your home? MARK YOUR CALENDARS WITH THESE DATES: • Thursday June 13 at 7 pm. All are welcome at 660 Las Gallinas Avenue in San Rafael (across the street from Macy )s in the Northgate Mall.) We will give you a summary of the proposed ordinance, help locate your property on the County stream map, and answer questions about how the ordinance effects your home. • June 18, 9:00 am at Civic Center Room 328 in San Rafael. Each person will be allowed 3 minutes of public comment. Visit the website of San Geronimo Valley Stewards for more information. www.sgvstewards.org. Email us with your comments at info @sgvstewards.org. We want to hear from you! Tell the County of Marin Supervisors to Make the Stream Ordinance Clear, Affordable, Simple and Effective by adopting the following: • Reduce the stream setback to 35 feet, as recommended by scientists. Current draft imposes 150 foot setback in West Marin, Nicasio and Novato, and setbacks of 20 to 100 feet in eastern and southern Marin, depending on lot size and location. • Limit protections for «ephemeral streams)) (surface runoff) to 20 foot setback. Apply only to ephemerals which are accurately mapped, drain directly into fish - bearing creeks, and have 100 feet of riparian vegetation. • Exempt from stream permits all existing homes, structures, improvements and disturbed areas. Apply this «grandfa- ther» exemption to all existing homes, whether now permitted or partially unpermitted. Do not use stream protec- tions as a tool for County Code enforcement. • For grandfathered existing structures, create broad exemptions for improvements, remodels, replacements, and addi- tions (up to 500 square feet increased footprint), with no stream permits required. • Reduce permit fees and eliminate expert reports. Allow the homeowner to hire his own professional for site assess- ments, if required. • Limit the stream setbacks to areas accurately mapped when the ordinance takes effect. Give fair notice so owners can correct mapping errors. Do not allow County or private environmental groups to add or change stream loca- tions on future maps Do you own a property near a stream? Its use and value may be in jeopardy. PRESORTED FIRST-CLASS U.S. P01;TAGE S /j• SGV Stewards UNICORN `u , .

San Geronimo Valley Stewards is a non profit that has over 300 active supporters and donors that reside in Woodacre, San Geronimo, Forest Knolls and Lagunitas along with property owners around the County. We have no employees or paid staff. We hold public meetings to inform neighbors and our members about current issues affecting riparian plants, wildlife, and property owners. We are pleased to have worked and maintained professional relationships with Trout Unlimited, Cal Trout, Marin Municipal Water District, Regional Water Quality Control District, and Lagunitas Technical Advisory Committee. However, this cooperative access is threatened by aggressive County enforcement actions, and by numerous and costly lawsuits filed from SPAWN (a salmon advocacy group) against the County. Voluntary Stewardship Will Save Our Creeks and Wildlife The most important people for stream habitat and salmon are the families who live along the creeks around Marin County. We need all of you in our community, not just an ordinance, to preserve the health of our streams and the salmon. We look forward to meeting you at one or more of the upcoming events. Sincerely, The Stewards
