ROLL CALL Present: Chair Chong, Vice Chair Cousins, Boardmember Emberson and Boardmember Kricensky Absent: Boardmember Tollini Ex- Officio: Planning Manager Watrous, Assistant Planner O'Malley and Minutes Clerk Rusting B. PUBLIC COMMENTS - None Planning Manager Watrous stated that there were no items currently scheduled for the September 5, 2013 agenda. • i 6 JUNO ROAD: File No. 21317; Pensco Trust Company, Owner; Rescission of Site Plan and Architectural Review Approval for construction of a gazebo. Assessor's Parcel No. 034- 272 -04. On July 18, 2013, the Design Review Board approved a Site Plan and Architectural Review to construct a new gazebo and a new wooden fence with a variance for excess fence height on property located at 6 Juno Road. The agenda for that meeting did not include the requested gazebo. As a result, the Town Attorney has directed that the approval of the gazebo be rescinded. The gazebo will be eligible for subsequent approval by Planning Division staff. Chair Chong described the reasons for the proposed rescission, noting that the Ark had written a letter to the Town objecting to the project description in the agenda. ACTION: It was M/S (Emberson/Cousins) rescind the Site Plan and Architectural Review approval of the gazebo for the property at 6 Juno Road. Vote: 4 -0. ' f 1. 72 MAIN STREET: File No. 51306; Zelinsky Properties, Owner; Couloir Wines & Straight Line Wine, applicants; Sign Permit, with a Major Exception, to install three (3) new signs for a wine tasting business. The applicant is proposing 43.0 square feet of sign area in lieu of the maximum sign area for this building of 21.1 square feet, and is therefore requesting a major sign area exception. Assessor's Parcel No. 059 - 102 -04. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 8/15/13 Chair Chong recused himself from this item. The applicant is proposing to install one (1) projecting sign, one (1) wall sign and one (1) marquee sign for the building located at 72 Main Street. The building was previously occupied by a wine tasting business (Windsor Vineyards) and is proposed to be occupied by a similar business (Couloir Wines /Straight Line Wine). The projecting sign would be mounted at the front of the building above an existing awning facing the street. The wall sign would be placed on the rear of the building, at the second story, facing the Main Street parking lot. The marquee sign would replace the previous business sign located on the side of the building, also facing the Main Street parking lot. No lighting is proposed for any of the signs. The Tiburon Sign Ordinance permits a maximum sign area of 21.1 square feet for the three sides of this building. The applicant is proposing 43.0 square feet of sign area, which exceeds the maximum permitted sign area. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a major sign area exception. John Grant said that he represents Couloir Wines /Straight Line Wines. He said that they planned to design a sign that would conform to the look and feel of the existing signs. Boardmember Emberson asked if the front sign would be on a pole, and Mr. Grant answered that it would be and would provide clearance for pedestrians. Boardmember Kricensky asked if the white background with red letters matched the company logo. Mr. Grant said that the red triangle is the logo for his brand of wine and appears on his labels. He said that the sign would replicate the look of his logo and he was trying to create continuity with the brand. Vice Chair Cousins asked about the paint color for the front sign pole. Mr. Grant said that they were considering a black pole to set it off from the green building. Vice -Chair Cousins suggested blending the color, and Mr. Grant agreed that that could be done. Boardmember Kricensky noted that the shingle signs along Ark Row are eclectic and the front sign looked tacked on and would be inconsistent with the structure. Mr. Grant said that that was due to the photoshop illustration of the sign which did not represent the actual appearance of the sign on the building. Boardmember Kricensky suggested that the background color could match the cream color of the building so it would not look as tacked on. Mr. Grant agreed but also pointed out that the sign will weather and become closer to the building color. There were no public comments. Boardmember Emberson stated that there was too much signage and she felt that the rear sign looked tacky. She suggested making the rear sign smaller. She agreed that the background color of the signs should be more of a cream - colored white to match the building trim color. She said that the rear sign was not useful and would be too big, and overall she thought that there was too much signage. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 8/15/13 Boardmember Kricensky agreed but thought that the business needed to be identified on the rear of the building. He felt that the sign could be smaller so that it would fit between the upper and lower rails. He said that he was used to seeing the old sign on the side, although it is large and grabs one's attention. Vice Chair Cousins suggested that the rear sign would look nice if it was centered between the vertical posts and asked the applicant if he was willing to consider this. Mr. Grant agreed with the Board that the sign in back was inappropriate but said that a sign in that location was important because it would be seen from the parking lot. He said that most of the businesses on Ark Row have signs on Main Street and on the parking lot frontage. ACTION: It was M/S (Emberson/Kricensky) that the request for 72 Main Street is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached conditions of approval, and the additional conditions of approval to reduce the proportions of the rear sign to fit the space between the railings and center the sign between the vertical posts, to paint the background color of all signs match the white trim color of the building, and to paint the pole of the front sign to match the trim color of the awning to which it is attached. Vote: 3 -0- Chair Chong returned to the meeting. 3. 21 GILMA.RTIN DRIVE: File No. 713045; Tenny Doone, Owner; Site Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a new single- family dwelling. The new two - story house would include four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, study, theatre, an attached two -car garage and a detached one -car garage. The project would include 3,660 square feet of floor area and lot coverage of 3,400 square feet (20.5 %) of the site. Assessor's Parcel No. 055- 253 -32. The applicant is requesting Design Review approval to construct a new single- family dwelling on property located at 21 Gilmartin Drive. The property is currently a vacant lot with an existing driveway that provides access for the subject site and the adjacent vacant lot at 25 Gilmartin Drive. The proposed two -story single- family dwelling with basement would include on the lower level a formal entry, living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, family room, and powder room. The proposed second level would include three bedrooms, three bathrooms, master bedroom suite, study, and two -car garage. A home theater would be on the basement level. A patio would extend around the south elevation of the lower level and a smaller deck on the upper level which would extend off the master bedroom and a bedroom. A new trellis would be installed in the front of the home extending over majority of the outdoor lower level patio. A two -car garage would be attached to the proposed home and a detached one -car garage with rooftop deck near the southern part of the property. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,660 square feet, which is the maximum perinitted gross floor area ratio for the property. There is no maximum allowable lot coverage for TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 8/15/13 the subject site because of established primary and secondary building envelopes within the Tiburon Shores Precise Plan. The proposed home and accessary structure would be within the two established building envelopes. Al Von Der Werth, representing Tenny Doone, introduced Mohammed Sadrieh, architect. Mr. Sadrieh said they received design approval in 2008 but due to financial considerations they were unable to build at that time. He said that in order to maximize views and hide garage doors they have set the garage in back and the lower floor would contain all of the public spaces and open out onto a broad patio. He said that the roof would be flat to minimize impact on neighbors. Mr. Sadrieh addressed the late mail, stating that two of the metal roof areas would be hidden from the view of the neighbors. He thought that the shininess of the roof would not be a concern because the roof would weather and become dull. He said that myoporurn generally do not grow to 15 feet in height, but they were willing to substitute plantings of the neighbors' choice. He said that the rear windows could easily be screened with plantings in the area that they would be glad to provide to be sure that there would be no light or privacy concerns between the homes. He said that the garage would not impact the neighbor because it would be a very small and low structure set into the hillside. Boardmember Emberson asked about the copper roof. Mr. Sadrieh said that only the peaked areas would be copper and the rest would be tar and gravel. Boardmember Kricensky expressed concern about the rear - facing bedroom windows. Mr. Sadrieh suggested that an 8 -10 foot tall planting would completely block the windows. He said that they would be glad to coordinate the appropriate plantings with the neighbors to provide that privacy. Vice Chair Cousins asked about the garage deck. Mr. Sadrieh said that he did not think that that deck would be a place of assembly, especially with the large patio available on the site. The public hearing was opened. Gary Wolk apologized for sending a letter so late, but given the tight timing they did not have a chance to work through the issues related to the house. He said that he was surprised that more discussion did not occur earlier in the process. He said that the flat roof would be a large visual element in his view and he wanted to understand the materials better. He said that he would love to see some examples of what the copper roof would look like. He was glad that the applicants were willing to adjust the landscaping because vegetation more than 15 feet tall would impact his view. He said that a lot of his primary living area would directly face the windows and he suggested shifting the windows to the adjacent side of the building to not directly face his living space. He appreciated that landscaping could provide screening if grown properly, but if not he did not want to see into the neighbors bathrooms and he suggested opaque windows. He added that it would lessen the impact on his view if the roof height was lowered a few feet. Paul Kaehler that said he lives across the street and has experience as a builder. He said that the standard approach on a lot like this would be to create a private driveway. He said that the flat TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 4 8/15/13 roof of this house would be seen by every car that comes down the hill, and at the very least there should be some decorative or colored rock on the roof, or a way to shield the roof itself. He said that the plans do not include any details on the facia and it looks like a 1950s house, and he suggested that there should be a design element to give it pizzazz. He stated that this was a good opportunity to require an extension of the sidewalk as a condition of approval. He suggested putting the entire first floor on a slab to drop the height by two feet. Mr. Sadrieh said that the lower level would be at the minimum height they can have without their views being completely blocked by the roof of the building in front. He said that any kind of parapet would not be integral to the design of the building and would cause a view impact on the uphill neighbor. He said that they would be glad to put any color gravel on the roof and work with the uphill neighbor to select the gravel. He said that the copper roofing would weather to a golden brown color that is non- reflective. He said that they would be glad to make the bathroom windows opaque and the other windows would be low enough that they can be screened with landscaping, and they would work with the uphill neighbor to provide appropriate plantings. He said that they would be glad to do whatever the Department of Public Works feels is appropriate regarding the sidewalk. The public hearing was closed. Boardmember Kricensky said that the vertical placement of the house was dictated by the height of the house in front of it. He thought that it was reasonable to try to capture some of the view. He said that the house would not block a significant part of the uphill neighbor's view. He felt that the bathroom windows should be frosted, especially since the landscaping would take time to mature and provide screening. He said that the copper roofing was not an issue, as those sections of the roof would be low and far enough away and the roof would weather in a relatively short period of time. He thought that it was reasonable to find a species of tree that would provide screening at maturity but not go over the roof height of the house. Vice Chair Cousins said that it was important to have windows on the uphill side of the house, but there should be screening to provide privacy. He agreed with Boardmember Kricensky that the house should be vertically sited to take advantage of some view. He said that he visited the uphill neighbor and found that there would be no real view impacts. Boardmember Emberson asked if any Boardmembers had a problem with the rooftop deck on the detached garage. Vice Chair Cousins said that he could not see views from that location and he did not think that it would be used often as a deck. Boardmember Emberson said that there could potentially be noise in the area and she did not think that it was necessary because they would have a gorgeous patio in back. Boardmember Emberson stated that the copper roofs would not be noticeable because they would patina over time. Vice Chair Cousins said that the curved roofs would help break up the flat roof. Chair Chong said that there are some copper roofs near his house and they were shiny for the first two months but quickly oxidized. TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 8/15/13 Boardmember Emberson suggested directing staff to choose planting species for the landscaping that would not exceed the height of the roof so that trees do not grow up and block views. Chair Chong remembered going to this location at the original hearing, and he remembered that the story poles were much higher. He recalled that the goal at the time was to free up the shoreline view. He also remembered the discussion about the garage deck and said that it was the same conversation as tonight. He said that the Board ended up approving the project because of the nature of the homes on Gilmartin Drive. He suggested darker colored rocks for the roof, frosted bathroom windows, and landscaping changes. He asked about the sidewalks on Gilmartin Drive, and Planning Manager Watrous said that the Public Works Department has not required sidewalks on Gilmartin Drive and the Town has not imposed that condition on individual houses in the past. Boardmember Kricensky noted that the tar and gravel roof color was not specified and he stated that darker colors recede more but are not as environmentally friendly. Chair Chong said that tar and gravel roofs have a shelf life of 10 years and he wondered if they should be specifying the color. Boardmember Emberson suggested making it darker. ACTION: It was M/S (Emberson/Cousins) that the request for 21 Gilmartin Drive is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached conditions of approval, and the additional conditions of approval to replace the landscaping at the rear with species that will not exceed the roof height as determined by staff; that the rear - facing bathroom windows have frosted or translucent glass; and to utilize a medium dark gravel color for the tar and gravel roof Vote: 4 -0.
