L Councilmember Thayer supported Mark's remarks; stated downtown project was voted on and defeated five years ago; stated what he has seen is a warmed-up version of the old plan; noted the time and money in the current plan which has been reduced in size to meet objections expressed in the June election; stated paper circulated in his neighborhood opposing Measure I; stated it was unfortunate misinformation circulated instead of informed discussion; strongly supported a workshop or special session quickly so that the downtown plan can be put on the table; he opposed Measure B five years ago; stated let's look at the so called proposal and put it on the table and examine it once again; not convinced they need an advisory ballot; not in favor of an advisory ballot; stated the Council can look at the downtown plan and decide after public hearings and hopefully all five Councilmembers will abide by that decision. ~~ Vice-Mayor Thompson stated he was sad and depressed after the election; basically agreed with options Councilmember Ginalski suggested; thought there were four options, go right back on the ballot for a special election or general election; Certificates of Participation funded through general revenue tax and look at greater financial TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #t036 11/16/94 3 '"" :". ,'. ~ t:~;-"- ~r . consequences of roads and open space bonds; look at no tax alternative whether it be downtown, Ned's Way or Blackie's Pasture; need advisory process because the smallest objection will kill 2/3 vote; need to leave elements of division behind them and move toward a process of final closure; supported Certificates of Participation two years ago as a strategy to get the job done and that the Town would not waste money; noted that the Council has spent over $300,000 on'a plan that has no funding source. Councilmember Wolf supported an advisory ballot; disagreed that the downtown proposal was the same as Measure B; stated it was dramatically different in many ways; to try to push this proposal through in the time frame for a March election is counter- productive; suggested aiming for June ballot measure; couldn't see herself supporting Certificates of Participation because they require a new revenue stream; noted Proposition 13 requires a 2/3 vote for a special tax; stated the downtown plan can be accomplished without a tax. r--. , l...-- Mayor Nygren stated it was very important the Council work together; roads, open space, Blackie's Pasture, etc. need to be addressed; noted in 1989-90 a Utility Tax was passed to fund the whole picture and unfortunately that was not pursued; not in favor of an advisory ballot; not comfortable offering downtown option without knowing if it is a feasible option; knew there were questions about an easement from the school district; questioned what would the Council do if voters approved it and it was not a viable option; would like to hear the plan first; if it is a workable plan, then offer it to the public; stated the downtown plan does not include a police station; thought the Police EOC is number one; asked when will the plan be done; suggested using existing funds and build the Police and Administration portion and not build the meeting room and Recreation Department offices; stated Belvedere is considering moving a house near their Corp Yard to house the Recreation Department; wanted to add that thought to the options; willing to support Councilmember Ginalski's idea of going ahead and seeing if we can find out aoubt ballot Measure for March election; would like to hear about downtown plan by next week; would like to consider revenue stream; an advisory ballot was not an option as far as she was concerned. Councilmember Ginalski wanted to get various strategies and options out on the table. ~ Dick Hinkel, 2 Malvino Court, Co-Chair of Build It Now Committee, stated when discussing the election some people stated they didn't want a tax for any reason; some preferred "downtown"; some people have a negative impression of Town administration; stated nobody on their Committee gives a damn where we build it as long as we build it; it is not a question of downtown or uptown; with respect to an advisory ballot, thought it would be a waste of taxpayers money; might be a strategy for those people who have a bent for downtown; it is hard to say people don't want it there; Ned's Way is a bonafide certified do it now plan; had a known building, two ballots, over tOo public meetings and didn't see purpose an advisory ballot would serve; didn't think there was time to get a definitive plan together; agreed as a Committee unless the entire Council is united it probably won't happen if it has to go to the voters; Committee would love to see this downtown issue incorporated into a structured process in which the Town is represented. TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #1036 11/16/94 4 ",-- Tim Harris, 68 Marinero Circle, stated there were two facets to Measure I; one the assessment, the other an alternative plan was sort of on the table; stated virtually every small Town has had a Town Hall downtown; suspect it might have turned off voters. l Larry Smith, former Mayor, speaking for and representing a number of former Councilrnembers and Mayors who couldn't be present; stated they had met and there was a real consensus of what they thought the Council should do and that is to make sure there is a process in place; that there is enough time and the March ballot is not enough; the June ballot is probably the space the Council can operate in; the process is for the benefit of the citizens of Tiburon; the Council is very informed and in some cases very opinionated; public needs to know what is the downtown plan; it is instant finance if the public can buy into selling part of the Ned's Way property; the plan needs to be flushed out; acknowledge a person or persons who will advocate the plan; answer concerns; examine apples to apples; all five Councilmembers have to get behind an option if it is going to fly; if the Council can't do that then they thought an advisory ballot was necessary and let the public chose what direction to go; their focus is to fmd an alternative that is to be one that will deliver an office for our Town employees. -_/ Kirk Hanson, former Mayor, stated he met with eight former Mayors and Councilmemb- ers, Mr. Hinkel, Mr. Heckmann and the Town Manager that morning; stated it was important that all five Councilmembers recognize the fact all of them and nine other Councilmembers are trying to figure out how to get a Town Hall; process started in 1981; stated former Councilmembers all have very different thoughts; the key is they meet as great friends; the five of you have not exhibited that since the April election; no more name calling; you have to stop throwing darts; wanted to remind them where they were in July; they had just lost a vote for Measure M; in that July meeting, there was a 3-2 vote and the five of you endorsed it; you need to respect the differences of opinion; all five of you have to be behind something to get it to the next step; stated their group respected the fact that Mayor Nygren and Councilmember Thayer are low growth proponents; an option where we would not have to go to the people and have a tax puts them in a very difficult position because it means selling part of Ned's Way; it is incumbent upon the Council to keep your minds open and not have any subversion behind the scenes; the Town lost Measure M and Measure I and spent $300,000; stated Councilmembers Thompson and Wolf have been allotted $5,000 to pursue an alternate plan; they feel the Council should give these people a chance; see if the Town can build Town Hall and a Police Department without spending public money; you have a hard time turning that down. ~-, , Bruce Ross, former Mayor, emphasized with proponents of Ned's Way site; understand making a transition is going to be very difficult; he had faith in them; thought they could do; stated Larry Smith outlined the greatest, most succinct statement of how to proceed; it is on tape; have it typed out. ~~ Nat Marans, 40 year resident, heavily involved in Town Hall; sale of Ned's Way has been on the agenda for ten years; someone wants this property; we don't have a negative; we have a positive; missed by 21 votes; Council has a mandate by 2/3 of the people in Tiburon that says we want Ned's Way for a Town Hall; cost has gone up because interest TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #1036 11/16/94 5 I rates have gone up; while saving $1 million on the original development, it cost $1 million in higher cost; reviewed precinct vote; everyone is missing the point; we won, we did not lose; it gives you a mandate to go ahead with the project the public wants; we have $1.2 million, plus now; admire Mayor Nygren's idea to build it now; the downtown plan has no validity; it is not central; start doing Certificates of Participation; you have the right to do it; wasn't active on the last Measure but Mr. Hinkel stated the Committee was interested in downtown and that's not true; you have the right to follow the mandates of the people. ,,- Pat Kellet Small, 44 Meadowhill, knew 2/3 was very difficult; 2600 voted for Measure I; there are 5500 registered; make sure everyone understands there is a fair process and get the people to come out and vote; do not feel people voted for the site; think they . were voting for the cost factors; think people feel a no tax alterative should be explored; agree with the previous Mayors that the options need to be explored; Measures M and I have been defeated; what bothers her when she comes to the Council meetings, she doesn't see the Council working together; even comments tonight show division; suggested the former mayors work with the Town Council. Randy Greenberg, Norman Way, people voted for the site and amount of tax, but basically thought because there's an immediate need; what she has found missing in the discussion tonight is how long will the Council consider the downtown plan; thought Advisory Committee's come up with a better product; Measure M took two years; think you have got to put time frame on finding out if this is a workable plan; we need a Town Hall now. J--.-... l......... The Council discussed time frame for March ballot; cost estimate to build the Administration and Police portion of the Ned's Way proposal without Council Chambers and Recreation Department; look at alternative financing; gather information on downtown option and have meeting as soon as possible; time frame for June ballot. The Town Manager noted the Town had to spend approximately $8,000 for ADA improvements and another $15,000 to $20,000 in deferred maintenance; Staff needs input on the budget. - The Mayor summarized the discussion as (1) explore all avenues simultaneously; (2) aim for June ballot which has a mid-February deadline, (3) whole Council has to hear downtown solution, (5) $5,000 already budgeted. The Mayor stated she wanted to know appraisal figures; how much a Police building would cost; how much the land downtown will cost; want to know how much the Ned's Way administration and police building would cost and how much limited circulation there would be. Bruce Ross volunteered to lead Committee on the Downtown Plan, gather information, and put information in a format with enough legitimacy and veracity so that Council can take testimony. Council set January 4 as public hearing date for Downtown Plan. ~"' \ TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #t036 11/16/94 6 5. BLACKlE'S PASTURE (Request Appropriation for Additional Site Plan and Grading Preparation) t'''' Councilmember Wolf excused herself because her residence is within 300'. I Councilmember Ginalski reported on. the meeting with Barbara Salzman, Marin Audubon Society, Ann Thomas, Environmental Forum and representatives of the POSC where they discussed Blackie's Pasture and Blackie's Brigade Program; the general theme was a willingness to work together and move towards consensus; heard report from Mr. Smith and Ms. Salzman regarding a reconfiguration of the Williams Plan. The Mayor opened the public hearing. Barbara Salzman, representing Marin Audubon Society, agreed the meeting was pleasant and productive and consensus was to seek a compromise plan; if the Town could provide funding for an alternative, Marin Audubon would be willing to carry through if the new plan met the criteria of habitat values; alternative plan would allow some more space for use on the north side of the channel; Phillip Williams estimates between $2,500 and $5,000; stated money would have to go through Marin Audubon with specified meeting times and not open ended; want to continue to work with Blackie's Brigade; wanted to proceed with the current Phillip Williams Plan and make some minor adjustments; suggested leaving Blackie's Grave as an island or creating a peninsula. IL Larry Smith, Blackie's Brigade, stated the Brigade Plan has been approved by the Council and regulatory agencies; waiting for permits to be issued; will start the grading and parking; it became clear to those in favor of a salt marsh that the Brigade's plan wasn't going to physically interfere with whatever final plan for the marsh; his understanding was to ask the Town to underwrite the viability of a salt marsh on the other side of the creek and feasibility in the meadow area and determine whether we had several options in front of us; then come to grips with what you want to do; then Audubon has to raise money; don't know whether it is a couple of months or years; think Ms. Salzman realized the amount of grading planned is minuscule to avoid pooling; issue is whether the Council wants to spend $5,000 to find out if there are alternatives to the salt marsh. "'-. Virginia Brunini, 267 Karen Way, asked whether the Council has already decided there will be a salt marsh or are you at the stage to determine whether to get funds for a salt marsh. Councilmember Ginalski responded that there is a large enough area to have both; idea is to go forward with limited funding to have engineer look at what we have and see if it can be modified so that there could be a pasture and a marsh. Ms. Brunini suggested if there is a salt marsh, it should be in front of the homes at Greenwood Beach Road and not in Blackie's Pasture. Ms. Salzman responded she could not be involved in a marsh in front of the homes. ~~ TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #t036 11/16/94 7 Randy Greenberg endorsed Philip Williams and urged Council to provide funds. I Ellen Rony, speaking as an individual and not as a Parks & Open Space Commissioner, stated the reason they are coming back to Council is not to question the viability of the Philip Williams Plan; problem is the interim plan is inconsistent with the Williams Plan and want to make sure if the Town doesn't find funds to come up with an accommoda- tion, then she urged the Council to go ahead on the existing plan and make sure no work goes on in that area that is inconsistent. /-- Ann Thomas, Environmental Forum, Co-Sponsor of application for funding for a marsh; wanted Council to understand they would not get a range of alternatives, but one alternative. Vice-Mayor Thompson stated the Town doesn't have funds to implement the whole Blackie's Pasture Plan; the Brigade organizes parking and general clean-up; wants to see a marsh too; problem is there are, different ideas of what form the marsh would take; his concern with the Williams Plan is that it doesn't address changes in the beach, or issues of the reeds and new marsh being created; want assurances of what the Town can do if the marsh is a failure; stated this is a highly used area; need to look at current activities; look at just widening the existing creek. Ms. Salzman stated she would write out criteria that tells Philip Williams what the Town wants; a marsh that allows for more space to the north with the same habitat value. ~"""- Vice-Mayor Thompson stated he was willing to authorize the funds; focus is to find other funds to fund this project. . Councilmember Ginalski stated it was an opportunity for the Town to come together and share the property; this is a redesign of a technical nature. Councilmember Thayer stated he would agree with the majority; didn't want to spend another dime on Blackie's Pasture; the Town has spent over $100,000; strongly supported the volunteer efforts of the Brigade. Motion: To authorize Town to expend amount not in excess of $3,500; the project will be directed through Marin Audubon Society who will meet with the aforementioned groups and delineate a proposed plan to bring to Mr. Williams; Plan to be completed within six weeks.

Bob Holmes, Director of Governmental Relations for Marin Association of Realtors, stated they had number of conversations and meetings; don't feel there were any problems as far as realtors were concerned; still feel no such ordinance should be enacted; any decision to correct deficiencies should be up to the property owner; questioned why Tiburon wants to do this. Mr. Holmes stated he heard two references tonight that the Council will be looking at Property Transfer Taxes again; we will oppose that again as they have in the past; asked Council to set aside part of the $1.2 Ihillion they currently have for Town Hall to add to the legal fund.

NEW BUSINESS 9. PARENTE PROPERTY (A P. #38-111-16, Antonette Drive; Consider General Plan & Zoning Ordinance Amendments) The Planning Director reviewed the Staff report; proposal is to amend the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance for 10-acre property located on Antonette Drive; property currently zoned RPD and the Parente family is requesting two changes to the land use regulations as follows: (1) change the General Plan land use designation from L to ML which would allow the property to potentially be subdivided at a density of up to 1.1 du/acre, and (2) rezone the property from RPD to RO-l (Residential Open, one acre minimum), the latter does not require approval of a Precise Development Plan. Staff recommends that the Council encourage the applicant to withdraw the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendment applications because of significant inconsisten- cies with the established objectives, policies, and procedures of the Town as expressed in the Tiburon General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Staff recommends, if the applicant declines to withdraw the application voluntarily, that the Council adopt the draft resolution denying the proposed General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments. TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES #1036 l(~ 11/16/94 10 Antonio Parente stated they have owned the property for fifty years; interested in keeping quality of any development; noted ABAG and Green Point Alliance advocate limited densities within city limits to take full advantage of city services. /'" John Flitner, husband of one-third owner, stated the purpose of their request is included in the September 23, 1994 letter; stated property is surrounded by one acre zoning; sewer is available, water is available or can be brought in; noted Tiburon is required by the State to provide low/moderate housing and it is his understanding that Tiburon has not met the goal of 385 units; stated the relevance of housing goals is the lower the density the less chance to reach goals. Mr. Flitner stated he felt the Parente Family were entitled to be treated like everyone else and thought their proposal was reasonable. I Bob Martin, civil engineer, stated he found no two acre lots within a 500' radius and approximately 30 parcels. The Planning Director stated the fundamental distinction between planned district and standard RO-l zoning is you tend to have lots placed in the best area; two acre analogy doesn't hold up. The Mayor, Vice-Mayor Thompson and Councilmember Thayer agreed with the Staff report. Councilmember Ginalski recommended the Council adopt by reference page 2 of the Staff Report giving the reasons for denying application. Councilmember Wolf noted there were no compelling reason to reverse the General Plan or the Staffs recommendation; urged the Parente family to withdraw their application. The Mayor stated the Council totally agreed with the facts and findings of the Staff report, and asked the applicant to withdraw the application. J-_ 11..- _. Mr. Flitner denied the request. Motion: Moved: To adopt Resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon Denying General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Amendments Proposed for the Parente Property (A.P. # 38-111-15) Thayer Councilmember Ginalski suggested refunding any unused portion of the $1,725 fee paid for this application.

The Town Engineer noted bicycle wheels are too narrow and not fit for our highways; the Town needs to go on record that riders assume the risk; narrow tires are designed for a speed track; they are dangerous on the bicycle path. John Nygren, Paseo Mirasol, suggested stripping on the concrete portion to indicate bike portion. The Town Engineer responded there was too much stripping on Paradise Drive. J. COMMUNICATIONS 11.
